Monroe County Development Ordinance: White Paper

Executive Summary

Communities thrive when they have a shared vision, lean into their strengths and coordinate investments in those areas. The Monroe County Development Ordinance (CDO) is an essential cornerstone for our community’s prosperity. The CDO is a tool for aligning land use, buildings, infrastructure and development processes that meet community needs. By facilitating the growth of quality jobs, better wages, and attainable housing through land use, it can pave the way for Monroe County's bright future.

About this paper: This paper was developed in response to the Monroe County Planning Department’s request for public comments on the CDO. It is largely based on the CDO draft posted on September 11, 2024, but may include input on earlier versions as multiple iterations have been posted.
