Overview

The Planning and Zoning Division focuses on:

  • Long range and current planning
  • Zoning
  • Land development

These teams emphasize development policies, codes, and neighborhood-level engagement.

The guiding documents for the division include the Comprehensive Plan, which serves as a vision and roadmap for the county’s future and the Unified Development Code (UDC) that updates and combines the county’s Land Development Regulations (former Chapter 74 of the County Code) and Zoning Regulations (former Appendix A of the County Code).
