# Duluth UDC § 1126.03

Emergency Field Change Requests

**Governing jurisdiction: Duluth.** A "Duluth, GA" mailing address is usually NOT in the City of Duluth. Unincorporated Gwinnett is 67.3% of the county's land area and is governed by a different code, a different board and a different permit portal. Resolve the governing jurisdiction before answering any zoning question.

## Text

In the case of an emergency field change request, the responsible Director, with consideration to or oral
comments from other potentially affected departments, may provisionally approve the proposed field change or
provisionally approve it with modification. The provisions for such approval are:

1. The field change subsequently shall be formally requested, documented and reviewed under the process
set forth under 1126.02(2).
2. The developer or builder requesting the field change accepts all responsibility and liability that may result
from emergency approval relative to requirements resulting from the formal review.
3. All requirements resulting from the formal review shall be implemented by the developer or builder that
requested the field change in a timely manner.
4. The field change, if ultimately approved through the formal review, shall be documented on revised
development construction plans or architectural building plans, as applicable, and distributed to the
appropriate departments of both the City and the County.
