Land Development Code

A Land Development Code (LDC) is a set of regulations that govern how land can be used and developed within a specific area, such as a city or county. It outlines rules regarding zoning, building heights, land use types (commercial, residential, etc.), environmental protections, and infrastructure requirements. The goal of the LDC is to ensure organized growth, protect property values, and promote community welfare. By following these guidelines, local governments can manage development sustainably, balancing the needs of current residents with future growth.
