Zoning Ordinance Update

Chapter 153 Zoning Ordinance Update

The Town of Kill Devil Hills has recently contracted with Stewart Engineering Community Planning group to perform a focused revision/update to Chapter 153 Zoning Code of the KDH Code of Ordinances. The purpose of the update to the Zoning Code is to improve overall structure, readability, and composition of the ordinance. Additionally, the update will focus on some revisions to reflect existing practices and revise regulation to meet Town goals and remove conflicts. Overall the revisions will create a user-friendly document and while incorporating current best practices on topics such as nonconformities, commercial site plan review, and redevelopment standards. The last adopted update to the Town Zoning Code was in 2001.
