The Mitchell County Commission established the "limited use" provision for the purpose of allowing an applicant to request that a certain area be designated as a limited use. In some areas of the county, a particular land use activity out of a general zoning classification may have less community impact than some of the possibilities of uses in that specific classification. For this reason, an applicant may request in his rezoning petition to limit the use of a proposed property to a specified use only (i.e., C-1 L.U.). To wit: Community business district limited to a "beauty shop." The limited use must be among the uses permitted in the zone classification for which the limited use is taken.

The boundaries of the above districts are shown on a set of maps designated "Official Zoning Maps, Mitchell County, Georgia." The Mitchell County Tax Parcel Maps are the base maps for the county's zoning districts and all of these tax parcel maps are hereby designated AG, agricultural zoning, unless otherwise designated on said map.

Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the aforesaid districts as shown on the zoning maps, the following rules shall apply:

A.

Where zoning district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerlines of roads or highways or railroad right-of-way lines extended, such centerlines or railroad right-of-way lines or such lines extended shall be construed to be such boundaries.

B.

Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the county line, or the corporate limits line of any incorporated place or the militia district line of any militia district, or the land lot line of any land lot; such county line, corporate limits line, militia district line or land lot shall be construed to be such boundaries.

C.

Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately parallel to the center lines of streets or highways, such district boundaries, unless otherwise specifically indicated, shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at a distance of 200 feet from the right-of-way line of such streets and highways, each above district boundary being shown at scale on the official zoning map of Mitchell County, Georgia.

D.

Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerline of streambeds or riverbeds, such centerlines or such lines extended shall be construed to be such boundaries.

Where a district boundary line, as appearing on the zoning map, divides a lot in single ownership at the time of the enactment of these regulations, the requirements for the district in which the greater portion of the lot lines shall be extended to the balance of the lot provided that such extension will not include any part of such lot more than 100 feet beyond the district boundary line without the approval of the planning commission and provided further that this provision shall not apply to a through lot. In the case of a through lot, the restriction of the district applying to the adjoining lots which front on the same street as the proposed use of the lot shall apply; a through lot being a lot that runs from street to street.
