2026 Nash County Unified Development Ordinance

Nash County

Description

The county's first full development-rules rewrite since 1999 was heard in public hearing; the board directed changes (drop EV mandates, allow five-lot minor subdivisions, remove interior street trees) and will adopt the final version next meeting. Data center standards will follow separately.

Impact summary

Future subdivisions will have wider roads, bigger setbacks, sidewalks in denser projects and stricter solar decommissioning; farmers get slightly more flexibility on family lot splits.

Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Update

The county's first full rewrite of development rules since 1999 sets new standards for road widths, setbacks, sidewalks, solar farm cleanup, conservation subdivisions and lot splits. Firefighters won the 24-foot road width; farmers won an extra lot in the minor subdivision allowance; the EV charging mandate was dropped entirely.
