Commission extends residential‑development moratorium through Nov. 4 to align with UDO update

Aug 27, 2026

The Board opened a public hearing and approved Resolution R081826 to extend an existing moratorium on new residential rezonings, preliminary plats with residential uses and temporary residential building permits through Nov. 4, 2026 to coincide with the county’s proposed UDO adoption.

The full story

Staff explained that the county’s moratorium on residential subdivision applications and related approvals is set to expire Aug. 19 (the day after the meeting) and proposed extending it until Nov. 4, 2026 to align termination with the expected adoption of the updated Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). "So, basically, our moratorium on residential subdivisions will expire on August 19, which is tomorrow. So we're looking to extend that until November 4, which would coincide with when we propose to wrap up and have the UDO adopted," Miss Applewhite said during the presentation.
