# Duluth UDC § 339

Temporary Buildings

**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

a. A temporary building or buildings for use in connection with a construction project or land subdivision

development shall be permitted on the land of the project during the construction period.
b. A Temporary Use Permit may be granted for the use of manufactured homes/recreational vehicles for

emergency housing in any zoning district where a conforming structure is rendered uninhabitable by fire,
tornado, hurricane, flood or other natural disaster by the Planning and Development Director for a period
not to exceed 60 days.

1. Said permit may be extended for one year from the date of approval or for a shorter period as
specified by the City Council. The City Council may impose reasonable conditions, restrictions,
and safeguards as considered necessary. Violations of these conditions shall be considered a
violation of this Development Code.
2. The Temporary Use Permit may be extended upon proper application when a hardship or
unusual circumstances warranting the original permit remains and is verified. A change in the
original circumstances shall require re-application for a Temporary Use Permit.
3. The Temporary Use Permit may be granted to the property owner, and it shall not remain in
effect in the event of a change of ownership of any land, structure, use or other item covered by
the Temporary Use Permit. A Temporary Use Permit may be granted upon application and public
hearing requirements as stated in the Procedures and Permits Article of this Development Code.
