# Duluth UDC § 909

Performance Guidelines

**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.

909.01. General
1. Purpose. The sub-sections enumerated in this Section 909 are guidelines and are intended to be
benchmark indicators of what standards could be acceptable. They are further intended to allow alternate
designs which could produce results similar to these performance standards and similar protection to the
public. The objective of these performance standards is not to suggest a single methodological standard
of acceptance exclusive of all others; Rather, they establish what would otherwise be allowed in the
absence of an acceptable alternative.
