County staff and the consulting team have completed the draft Code Diagnosis document for the Land Use and Development Ordinance (or "LUDO") project. Find it here.  The Code Diagnosis is the blueprint for the new LUDO.  It includes a series of around 70 recommendations for changes to the County's current land use and zoning regulations that are organized into a series of six key themes for improvement.  The Code Diagnosis is a framework for discussion about what changes are necessary to the County's development regulations in order to implement the County's adopted land use policy guidance in the Comprehensive Plan.  The Code Diagnosis also captures the community input collected thus far and is provided for community discussion.

The consulting team will be travelling to Anderson County to conduct the second round of discussions on the concepts in the Code Diagnosis on Monday, July 20 and Tuesday, July 21, 2026.  There will be an open house presentation and discussion with the community from 6PM until 8PM at the Civic Center located at 3027 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Anderson on Monday, July 20.  A follow-up open house will be conducted on Tuesday July 21 also at the Civic Center form 12 to 1:30PM.  The same material will be presented at both meetings.

There are also opportunities to sign up for an office hours visit with the consulting team while they are in town on July 20 and 21. Please check the Participate tab for more details on how to schedule an office hours visit with the consulting team if you have questions about the LUDO, the Code Diagnosis, or the next steps in the project.
