June 9th UDO Virtual Meeting

The City of North Charleston held a virtual meeting on June 9th, 2026, focused on the development and community engagement process for updating the city's zoning regulations through a new Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). The meeting emphasized the need to modernize the zoning code, originally from 1974, to better manage the city's growth, support housing affordability, economic opportunity, and sustainability. City staff and consultants outlined the project timeline, community outreach plans, and the technical aspects of the UDO, including building form, land use, and neighborhood character. Participants were engaged in interactive exercises to provide input on future land use and development standards. While the meeting did not include specific contract awards or procurement decisions, it highlighted the city's intent to work with consultants and staff on this multi-year planning and regulatory update project, which may lead to future procurement activities related to implementation and enforcement of the UDO.
