Panel approves minor code clarifications to townhouse and duplex definitions

Nassau County Planning & Zoning Board · July 21, 2026

Summary

The board recommended approval of a technical Land Development Code amendment (LDC 26‑009 / ordinance 2026‑048) to clarify that townhouses may contain a minimum of two dwelling units and that two‑family (duplex) units must be located on a single parcel. Staff characterized the change as clarifying only; the motion passed unanimously.

Adam Olsen, senior planner, presented ordinance 2026‑048 and LDC 26‑009, a narrow amendment to two definitions in the land development code so that townhouses can be two units and two‑family dwellings (duplexes) must be located on a single parcel. Olsen said the change is intended only to clarify code language and does not change uses allowed in zoning districts.

There were no public speakers on the item. A board member moved to recommend approval of the ordinance based on the staff record; another board member seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
