FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Planning Commission to participate in UZO workshop
August 3, 2010 - The Planning Commission will be participating in an informational workshop on the proposed Chatham County-Savannah Unified Zoning Ordinance (UZO) on August 5 from 9am to 4pm and again on August 6 from 9am to 1pm. The public is invited to attend.
The purpose of the workshop is for staff to provide a summary of each component of the proposed Ordinance.
Once the UZO draft is completed and released to the public later this year, workshops with the general public will be scheduled. MPC staff encourages the public to check www.unifiedzoning.org often for updated and new information on this process.
The UZO will consolidate into one document the two existing zoning ordinances for the City of Savannah and unincorporated Chatham County. Both zoning ordinances are nearly a half-century old and contain approximately 700 pages of regulations and 126 zoning districts. Unification will allow for greater regulatory consistency and efficiency.
