​​​ Unified Land Development Code (ULDC)

Use Regulations Project

2012 - 2016

GENERAL - Palm Beach County is proposing to improve the development process for business owners while protecting the health, safety and welfare of its residents and critical industries, such as agriculture and tourism. 

GOAL - Simplify definitions, Use Matrices and Supplemental Standards for Uses contained in the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC), by eliminating redundancy or glitches, recognizing new industry trends, streamlining the approval process where feasible, and ensuring consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. 

The Zoning Division is anticipating that the Code Revision Section will be spending the majority of 2013 and 2016 working on this staff initiated project.
