PREFACE

This volume is a publication of the Unified Development Ordinance of Gaston County, North Carolina. The original arrangement and the original numbering system have been retained. A state law reference table was prepared. Obvious typographical errors and misspellings have been corrected without notation. For stylistic purposes, a uniform system of headings, catchlines, and citations to state law has been used. Material added to the text by the editor for clarity is enclosed in brackets.

Page Numbering System

The page numbering system used in this Unified Development Ordinance is a prefix system. The letters to the left of the colon are an abbreviation which represents a certain portion of the volume. The number to the right of the colon represents the number of the page in that portion. In the case of a chapter of the Unified Development Ordinance, the number to the left of the colon indicates the number of the chapter. In the case of an appendix to the Unified Development Ordinance, the letter immediately to the left of the colon indicates the letter of the appendix. The following are typical parts of codes of ordinances, which may or may not appear in this Unified Development Ordinance at this time, and their corresponding prefixes:

CODE	UDC 1-1
CODE COMPARATIVE TABLE	UDCCT 1-1
INDEX TO COUNTY CODE	UDCi:1

 

Looseleaf Supplements

Upon passage of ordinances amending the Unified Development Ordinance, supplements will be printed and distributed with instructions for inserting new pages and removing obsolete pages. Keeping this publication up-to-date at all times will depend largely upon the holder of the publication. As revised pages are received, it will become the responsibility of the holder to make the necessary insertions and/or deletions according to the attached instructions.
