Cumming City Zoning Code

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

   1.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, highways, or alleys shall be construed to follow such centerlines.

   2.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.

   3.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following township lines or section lines shall be construed as following such township lines or section lines.

   4.   Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.

   5.   Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in subsections 1 through 4 above shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the official zoning map shall be determined by the scale of the map.

   6.   Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the official zoning map, or in other circumstances not covered by subsections 1 through 5 of this section, the Board of Adjustment shall interpret the district boundaries.

   7.   Where a district boundary divides a lot of record which was in single ownership at the time of the effective date of the Zoning Ordinance, the Board may permit, as a special exception or variance, the extension of the regulations for either portion of the lot, not to exceed 30 feet beyond the district boundary.
