Unified Development Code
Overview
The Unified Development Code (UDC) is the primary tool to regulate land development in Georgetown in order to promote the public health, safety and general welfare of it citizens and the safe, orderly and healthful development of the city. The Code was adopted in 2003 and contains the zoning and subdivision regulations and related development standards. The UDC adheres to an annual review of its provisions to ensure its compatibility with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and current building and development patterns.
