PREFACE

This Unified Development Code constitutes a publication of the general and permanent ordinances of the City of Milton, Georgia.

The Unified Development Code is up-to-date through January 25, 2025. The source of each section is included in the history note appearing in parentheses at the end thereof. The absence of such a note indicates that the section is new and was adopted for the first time with the adoption of Ordinance No. 24-04-551. By use of the comparative tables appearing in the back of this Code, the reader can locate any section of the Code, as supplemented, and any subsequent ordinance included herein.

Chapter and Section Numbering System

The Code is arranged into articles and sections. Related matter is kept together, so far as possible, within the same article. Each section number is complete within itself, containing the article number and the section of the article of which it is a part. Specifically, the first digit, followed by a decimal, identifies the article number. The second digit identifies the section number and the third digit identifies the subsection number. For example, article 2, section 2, subsection 6, is designated as 2.2.6. Notes which tie related sections of the Code together and which refer to relevant state law have been included.

Page Numbering System

The page numbering system used in this Code is a prefix system. The letters to the left of the colon are an abbreviation which represents a certain portion of the volume. The number to the right of the colon represents the number of the page in that portion. In the case of a chapter of the Code, the number to the left of the colon indicates the number of the chapter. In the case of an appendix to the Code, the letter immediately to the left of the colon indicates the letter of the appendix. The following are typical parts of codes of ordinances, which may or may not appear in this Code at this time, and their corresponding prefixes:

Looseleaf Supplements

A special feature of this publication is the looseleaf system of binding and supplemental servicing of the publication. With this system, the publication will be kept up to date. Subsequent amendatory legislation will be properly edited, and the affected page or pages will be reprinted. These new pages will be distributed to holders of copies of the publication, with instructions for the manner of inserting the new pages and deleting the obsolete pages.

Keeping this publication up to date at all times will depend largely upon the holder of the publication. As revised pages are received, it will then become the responsibility of the holder to have the amendments inserted according to the attached instructions. It is strongly recommended by the publisher that all such amendments be inserted immediately upon receipt to avoid misplacing them and, in addition, that all deleted pages be saved and filed for historical reference purposes.
