The two use answers were read from Table 1, the Zoning Table of Permitted Uses, in the Chatham County Zoning Ordinance, and were confirmed by the horizontal position of each P against the district headings rather than by reading a text extraction of the table. Read 2026-09-12.
The district descriptions and the statement that B-1 is historical and cannot be rezoned to come from Section 4. The lot areas, widths, setbacks and heights come from Sections 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3. The accessory dwelling unit rule comes from the definition in Section 7.2. The farm exemption comes from Section 3.
The ordinance's cover states adoption 1 December 2008 and effective 2 December 2008, with amendments listed through 20 October 2025 and 20 January 2026. That is the document read for this page.
The statement that the new unified development ordinance is not in effect is the county's own, on its planning page, along with its account of Senate Bill 382 and Session Law 2024-57. This page does not interpret the state law and does not predict what the county will revise.
Whether the county's 2016 effort to zone the unzoned parts of the county was completed is UNKNOWN. Section 2 of the current ordinance still lists townships and portions of townships, and the county's own page on the subject appears to date from that year. This is recorded as an open question, not as a finding that the parcel next door is unzoned.
Whether the Mobile Home Ordinance reaches a single manufactured home on its own lot is UNKNOWN, and it is written on this page as a conflict between the ordinance's own Section 1.4 and the county's four-word description of it. No permit requirement is asserted and none is ruled out.
The Class A, Class B and Class C manufactured home definitions in the Mobile Home Ordinance were read in full and no operative section applying them was found in either ordinance read. That is the absence of such a section in what was read.
No minimum width, heated floor area, roof pitch, siding standard, skirting requirement or age limit for a manufactured home on an individual lot was found in the zoning ordinance. The ordinance's definition of a Manufactured Dwelling names the National Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards and states no date.
The watershed numbers come from the WS-IV critical area and WS-II balance-of-watershed sections of the Watershed Protection Ordinance and from Section 104(D). Which watershed classification covers a parcel was not determined for any parcel.
The fee figures are from the Planning Department administrative review fee schedule the county's fee page links, described there as approved in June 2026 and effective 1 July 2026. No building permit, septic or well fee was read, and the education facilities impact fee amount is not on this page.
The subdivision regulations, the flood damage prevention ordinance, the compact communities ordinance and the zoning map are separate documents and were not read in detail here.
No written answer from Chatham County Planning, Central Permitting or Environmental Health is on file for this page.
This page carries the offices, addresses and published phone numbers from the county's own pages, and no staff names.
No project approval, inspection result, or utility-release outcome is implied.
