Amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO)
There are two pending text amendments to the UDO that are still in process and that have not yet been scheduled for Planning Commission or Governing Body review at this time. They are listed below:
Planning Commission-Initiated Text Amendment:Improving Access & Walkability Durham is working to create connected, walkable, and pedestrian-friendly communities through an update to our development regulations! Staff have been working to update the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), or the tool guiding what development looks like in Durham City and County to improve access and walkability.
To ensure new developments are better connected to the surrounding area and existing neighborhoods, language within the UDO has been changed to better include pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders who may not have access to a car. This change to the words within the UDO is called the "Improving Access and Walkability Text Amendment".
We want to hear from you!
We are now looking for resident input on the draft update. To learn more about this work, current growth happening in Durham, and how to get involved, please visit: https://durham.mysocialpinpoint.com/growthmanagement/land-use-home/
Privately-Initiated Text Amendment:
If you are interested in potential amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance, or would like to comment on upcoming amendments, you can find more information at durham.mysocialpinpoint.com/growthmanagement/land-use-home/ .

Durham’s New Comprehensive Plan UpdateDurham is working on a new Comprehensive Plan, a long-range vision for our community! The Comprehensive Plan decides what can be built where in Durham.
Review the revised Policies, Place Type Map, and Place Type Guide for the new Comprehensive Plan
The initial Draft Place Type Guide, Place Type Map, and Policies were shared in previous rounds of engagement and have now been updated based on resident and staff feedback.
These plan pieces are being shared now to show how the drafts have changed before incorporating them into the full draft plan and to provide more time to review this information ahead of the final engagement phase. Staff is working to develop a full plan document and a final engagement phase will begin in January 2023. Stay tuned for the release of the full draft plan and opportunities to engage before the plan is considered for adoption. The formal adoption process for the new Comprehensive Plan is anticipated to begin in late February.
Find revised drafts of the three primary planning tools in the new Comprehensive Plan: the Place Type Map, Place Type Guide, and Policies on this page:
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SOCIAL PINPOINT
Each of these pieces is focused on working towards the vision in the adopted Community Goals and Objectives.
For information on the project to date, we encourage you to check out the Process and Timeline page on our website. There, you can see how the project has progressed over the last three years, what residents said along the way, how that has shaped the plan, and what is coming next.
