District designations. Cusseta-Chattahoochee County is hereby divided into zoning districts of such number and character as are necessary to achieve compatibility of uses within each district, to implement The Comprehensive Plan for Chattahoochee County and the City of Cusseta, and to serve the intents and purposes which are detailed in section 1. For the purposes of this ordinance, the unincorporated areas of the county are hereby divided into districts as follows:

6.2

Official zoning map.

The location and boundaries of the zoning districts established by this ordinance are bound and defined as shown on the map(s) entitled "Zoning Map of Cusseta-Chattahoochee County, Georgia." Said map shall also be identified by the signature of the clerk of the Unified Government of Cusseta-Chattahoochee County, Georgia and the date of adoption of this ordinance. The zoning map(s) and all explanatory matters thereon are hereby adopted and made a part of this ordinance.

Changes made in district boundaries or other matters portrayed on the zoning map(s) shall be entered on said map(s) promptly after such change has been approved by the governing authority together with an entry on the map(s) showing the date and ordinance number such action was approved. No amendment to this ordinance which involves matters portrayed on the zoning map(s) shall become effective until such change and entry has been made on said map(s).

The zoning map(s) shall be kept and maintained by the office of the commission of the unified government and shall be available in the courthouse annex for inspection and examination by the public during regular business hours.

6.3

Interpretation of zoning boundaries. Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

1.

Boundaries shown as following or approximately following streets, highways or alleys shall be construed to follow the center lines of such streets, highways or alleys.

2.

Boundaries shown as following or approximately following railroad lines shall be construed to follow the right-of-way of said railroad line.

3.

Boundaries shown as following or approximately following platted lot lines or other property lines shall be construed to be said lot lines.

4.

Boundaries indicated as following or approximately following shorelines shall be construed to follow such shorelines and in the event of change in the shoreline shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline; boundaries indicated as following or approximately following the center lines of streams, rivers, canals, lakes or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such center lines.

5.

Boundaries indicated as following or approximately following the city limits of the appropriate city shall be construed as following such city limits.

6.

Distances not specifically indicated on the zoning map shall be determined by the scale of the map.

When the application of the aforementioned rules leaves a reasonable doubt as to the boundaries between two districts, the applicant may request and shall be granted a hearing by the planning commission who will then make a recommendation to the commission of the unified government, for the purpose of defining the boundaries.

6.4

Conformity. From the date of the enactment of this ordinance, no building or land shall be used or occupied except in conformity with the provisions of the zoning ordinance herein specified for the district in which it is located. No owner of any lot located within this county shall subdivide said lot such that remaining lots would have an area less than that required under the applicable zoning district requirements. See section 12 for non-conformity.
