Model Land Development Code

The Model Land Development Code is a standardized set of rules and guidelines that cities or regions use to manage how land is developed. It covers aspects like where residential, commercial, and industrial areas can be located, building standards, environmental protections, and infrastructure requirements. Its purpose is to promote organized growth, ensure safety, and protect the community’s natural and built environment. By following these guidelines, communities can plan for sustainable development that meets residents' needs while maintaining order and quality of life.
