UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE

Forward Together

Discover Our Unified Development Ordinance Project (UDO)

The City is preparing for growth while working toward a stronger, more inclusive future. We are doing the generational work of rewriting the rules that guide how our city grows – shaping not only our neighborhoods, but also our streets, sidewalks, and public spaces.

The UDO builds upon the City’s PRIME North Charleston Comprehensive Plan and aligns with other major initiatives, including Lowcountry Rapid Transit and Safe Streets for All. Together, these efforts ensure that future growth strengthens our neighborhoods, improves how we move through the city, and enhances overall quality of life rather than straining it.
