The LDC contains nine Articles (Chapters) and we tried to make it somewhat like a handbook.

ARTICLE 2 (Land Use) Types of uses by category & allowable uses in each.
ARTICLE 3 (Concurrency) Levels of Service of Comprehensive Plan elements.

ARTICLE 9 (Administration) Development Permits and procedures.
Special Note: Current Land Use Regulations require an applicant for any subdivision/site plan approval to provide a current recorded deed upon submittal of an application. When there are multiple names listed as owners of a parcel, ALL owners must sign ALL applications, forms, etc., or legally appoint a representative authorized to act in their behalf.
