Boone County seeks public input on draft development ordinance

Boone County residents have an opportunity to review and provide feedback on the draft Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) and Zoning Map. The Boone County Planning Department is encouraging community members to examine the proposed changes and submit their comments.

The draft UDO, dated March 30, 2026, and Zoning Map Version 4.14.2026, are currently available for public review. These documents outline the county's vision for growth, aiming for balanced, controlled, and smart development.

The mission of the Boone County Planning Department is to coordinate a vision of growth that incorporates the community's needs for balanced, controlled, and smart development. The department also aims to communicate this vision to citizens while guiding the development community toward achieving these goals.

Residents interested in submitting comments can do so by emailing Boone County Land Use Planner Jessica Roberts at [email protected]. The department emphasizes the importance of community input in shaping the future development of Boone County.
