Board approves targeted clarifications to Henry County 2026 Unified Land Development Code

Sep 2, 2026

Planning staff presented AM 26-01 and AM 26-02 to move administrative items out of the ULDC, clarify group-living and overlay rules, and create procedural paths for reuse of older industrial buildings as data centers; the board approved the amendments after public hearing and Q&A.

The full story

Planning staff said the ULDC amendments are a series of clarifications and procedural fixes after six months of administering the 2026 code. The companion ordinance (HC Code AM 26-01) moves development impact fees and building/technical-code administration out of the ULDC and into the general county code; staff argued those items are administrative and should not be tied to zoning notice and hearing cycles.
