For the purpose of this regulation, the City of Warner Robins is hereby divided into the following types of districts:

(Ord. No. 32-14, 11-3-14)

In order to protect the character of existing neighborhoods, to prevent excessive density of population in areas which are not adequately served with water, sewerage facilities, and fire protection; to ensure that adequate and suitable areas will be available in the city, to provide housing for a growing population, and to protect residential areas from the blighting effects of the traffic, noise, odors, and dust generated by commercial and industrial activity; to provide for and accommodate growth and expansion of commercial and industrial activities; to prevent blight and slums and to promote orderly growth and development by grouping similar and related uses together and by separating dissimilar and unrelated uses; and in order that the various other purposes of this chapter may be accomplished, there are hereby established within the City of Warner Robins, Georgia, the abovementioned zoning districts.

(Ord. No. 32-14, 11-3-14)

Said districts are bounded as shown on the sectional atlas property maps contained in one (1) volume entitled, "Official Zoning Map for Warner Robins, Georgia" and certified by the city clerk, hereinafter called "official zoning map" or simply "map," and which, with all notations, references, including dates of amendments, and other information shown thereon is hereby made a part of these regulations. Said map shall be made a public record and shall be kept permanently in the office of the zoning enforcement officer, where said map shall be accessible to the general public.

(Ord. No. 32-14, 11-3-14)

If, in accordance with provisions of these regulations, changes are made in the district boundaries or other information portrayed on the official zoning map, changes shall be made on the map within seven (7) days after the amendment has been approved by the mayor and council. A notation, certified by the zoning enforcement officer, shall be entered on the map at the time any change is made, which shall include the date of the amendment and a numerical entry referring to the application on file with the zoning enforcement officer which states a brief description of the nature of the changes.

(Ord. No. 32-14, 11-3-14)

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

45.1. Unless otherwise indicated, the district boundaries are indicated as approximately following property lines, land lot lines, center lines of streets, highways, alleys, or railroads, shorelines of streams, reservoirs, or other bodies of water, or civil boundaries, and they shall be construed to follow such lines.

45.2. Where district boundaries are approximately parallel to the center lines of streets, highways, or railroads, or right-of-way of the same, or the center lines of streams, reservoirs, or other bodies of water, or said lines extended, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the official zoning maps. If no distance is given, such dimensions shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the official zoning maps.

45.3. Where a public road, street, or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the regulations applicable to the property to which it is reverted shall apply to such vacated or abandoned road, street, or alley.

45.4. In case the exact location of a boundary cannot be determined by the foregoing methods, the mayor and council, upon application, determines the location of the boundary.

(Ord. No. 32-14, 11-3-14)

The purpose of these regulations and the accompanying map is to place all portions of the City of Warner Robins in zoning districts. Should any area appear either by reference to the maps or by interpretation to be inadvertently or otherwise omitted from a classification district, that area or areas are hereby placed in an R-1 Single-Family Residential District and subject to all the regulations pertaining thereto until such time as the planning and zoning commission and the mayor and council can determine its proper zoning district classification.
