The Jefferson County Commission will consider proposed amendments to the Jefferson County Zoning Resolution in an effort to align local development regulations with the policies recently adopted in the Forward Together Comprehensive Plan for Jefferson County.
The goal of the zoning ordinance is to enable economic development balanced with natural and rural conservation.
Provisions of the update include:
- Workforce housing
- Mixed-use and master planned developments
- Disaster resiliency
- Economic and fiscal impact analysis
- Sensitive areas and agricultural preservation
- Economic cluster districts
- Transportation-oriented development
The ordinance update includes administrative corrections based on previous variance cases.
Citizens can provide feedback in person at the hearing, or via email to contact_zoning@jccal.org. The hearing will also be live-streamed on the County’s website and our social media channels for those who wish to watch remotely.
Links to the proposed zoning regulation changes for review are below:
- Additions/modifications to the zoning text are highlighted in light blue
- Deletions to the text are struck through and/or in red
