A.

This Chapter establishes standards that apply to the development, use, or alteration of land, buildings and structures within the boundaries of an overlay district.

B.

The overlay districts in this Chapter 220 contain development procedures and standards that are supplemental to the zoning district classifications established in Chapter 210, Base Districts, and the provisions of Chapter 270, Procedures, of this UDO. All development and building permits for lots located within an overlay district contained in this Chapter shall meet all of the requirements of the base zoning district in which it is located, all conditions of rezoning or special use permit approvals and, in addition, shall meet the requirements of the overlay district applicable to the lot.

220-10.2   Applicability.

A.

The procedures and standards contained in the overlay districts in this Chapter apply to each application for a permit for the development, use, or alteration, or modification of any structure where the subject property lies within the boundaries of an overlay district as established by the Board of Commissioners and recorded on the Gwinnett County Zoning Maps, as they may be amended from time to time.

B.

The procedures and standards of overlay districts apply only to property within the boundaries of the overlay districts as established by the Board of Commissioners.

C.

In any case where the standards and requirements of an overlay district in this Chapter conflict with those of the base zoning district, the standards and requirements of the overlay district shall govern.

D.

In any case where the conditions of approval for rezoning or special use permit approved by the Board of Commissioners conflict with the provisions of an overlay district, the conditions shall take precedence.

220-10.3   Map Amendments. No change in the boundary of an Overlay district shall be authorized, except by the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners pursuant to procedures in Chapter 270.
