This division is responsible for the administration and enforcement of the Land Development Code (ULDC), including the sign ordinance and other county codes. We also process applications for Family Homestead Exceptions, Accessory Living Units, Home Based Businesses, Lot Splits, Variances and other zoning related items.

The Zoning Administrator
also oversees the following:

  • Family Homestead Exception Certificates
  • Zoning Certification letters
  • Temporary Placement permits
  • Temporary Use permits
  • Driveway permits
  • Non Conforming uses
  • Administrative exception for setback on non conforming lots
  • Review of Agriculture building permit exemptions
Multi-Family

Multi-Family dwellings are permitted uses in the R-2, R-2a, R-3 and RP zoning districts.

What uses can I have on my property?

The uses allowed on your property depend on the zoning district your property is in. Each zoning district allows certain uses and excludes others. The Zoning Administrator is responsible for interpreting the ULDC and determining if the use you are proposing is allowed. If your proposed use is not listed in the use table, the Zoning Administrator can help you determine where the use is most appropriate.

Can I have more than one living unit on my property?

Yes, the ULDC and Comprehensive Plan allow Accessory Living Units on certain parcels. There are also exceptions, available for family members, to the density requirements of your property’s zoning district.

#Learn more about Accessory Living Units..

Can I operate a business from my home?

Yes, The ULDC allows for Home-Based Business permits to be issued as limited uses. They are classified as General and Rural. The General permit can be issued administratively and the Rural permit requires Development Review.

#Learn more about Home Based Businesses..

Can I divide my property?

Yes, The ULDC and Comprehensive Plan allow for a one time division of a Parent parcel subject to certain standards. Parent parcels are legal lots of record created prior to October 2, 1991, and can only be divided once. The Administrator can help determine parent parcel statutes and the restrictions that may apply.
