Residents, business owners & stakeholders invited to complete UDO Update Survey

The Town of Wake Forest is in the process of updating its Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), and we need your input. As a follow-up to the UDO Open House sessions on June 9, Wake Forest residents, business owners, and stakeholders are invited to visit https://engagewakeforest.org/udo-update and complete the online survey on additional types of development standards. Available through Friday, Sept. 2, the survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete.

Community input is the cornerstone of the UDO Comprehensive Update. Following the update and adoption of several comprehensive plans, including the 2022 Wake Forest Community Plan and 2021 Northeast Community Plan, as well as several other comprehensive plans that are underway, the UDO and Manual of Specifications, Standards & Design (MSSD) must be updated to implement the policies and recommendations of those plans.

The Wake Forest UDO combines into a single document the Town's zoning, subdivision, land use, grading, stormwater management, and historic preservation regulations. It outlines the requirements for all development activity.

The UDO update is scheduled for adoption in spring 2024. For more information and updates, visit wakeforestnc.gov/UDO or contact Senior Planner Kari Grace at 919-435-9511 or [email protected].
