The ULUC draft and associated Zoning Map are now available for public review and comment phase concluded on October 18. Please visit the Jefferson County Planning & Zoning page to view links to the Draft Regulations, Proposed Zoning Map and other helpful documents.

Jefferson County’s land use regulations consist of four different documents, the Zoning Resolution, the Land Development Regulation, the Transportation Design and Construction Manual, and the Storm Drainage and Technical Design Criteria. Combining these documents into a single document, called the Unified Land Use Code (ULUC), is a goal of the County to improve efficiency for staff, residents, and applicants. These regulations comprise the primary regulatory document that the unincorporated portions of the County uses to guide quality development with guidance from the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan. The ULUC includes regulations and standards that address zoning, land uses, natural resource protections, subdivision standards, building setbacks and height, parking, landscaping, storm water management, public right-of-way design standards, and application procedures.
