Unified Zoning Ordinance
Welcome to the Unified Zoning Ordinance web page. This page is intended to keep you up-to-date on the progress of the proposed Unified Zoning Ordinance (UZO), a combined and updated zoning ordinance for the city of Savannah and unincorporated Chatham County.
The timeline for reviewing the draft zoning ordinance and zoning map has been extended by the Planning Commission. After extending the deadline to January 31, 2012 from September 30, 2011, the Planning Commission has now extended the date indefinitely to allow more time for additional work, including responding to stakeholder comments. As that process nears completion, a 60-day notice will given to indicate that the public comment period is ending. After the public comment period, the Planning Commission will continue its review prior to making a recommendation to the City of Savannah Mayor and Aldermen and the Chatham County Board of Commissioners.
To view the draft, please click here or on the “project documents” tab on the menu to the left. The UZOOM tool will help you locate the existing and proposed zoning district for any property within Savannah and the unincorporated county, including a comparison of existing land uses and district development standards.
