Board clarifies townhouse and duplex definitions in Land Development Code
Summary
Nassau County adopted ordinance 2026-048 to amend Article 32 of the Land Development Code clarifying that townhouse dwellings may have a minimum of two units while two-family dwellings (duplexes) must be located on a single parcel, a change staff said aligns definitions with the comprehensive plan.
The board unanimously approved ordinance 2026-048 amending Article 32 of the Nassau County Land Development Code to clarify definitions for townhouse dwellings and two-family dwellings (duplexes). Senior planner Adam Olsen told the board the amendment clarifies that a townhouse dwelling may consist of a minimum of two dwelling units (not three) and that a duplex must be located on a single parcel, not separated across parcels.
Olsen said the amendment is intended to clear up ambiguity in the code and that staff found the request consistent with the comprehensive plan; the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval unanimously at its July 21 meeting. "So they're still allowed within the same zoning districts that they are currently. It's really just trying to clarify how they're defined in the LDC," he said.
