Planning & Zoning

          
The Fayette County Planning and Zoning Department is responsible for maintaining and implementing the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Together, these documents help us balance community goals with development, land use, and public safety. The Comprehensive Plan provides a framework for goals and policy objectives for housing, economic development, natural and historic resources, community facilities, utilities, transportation, and land use. 

Zoning: Development in the unincorporated county is regulated by the Zoning Ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance contains the zoning districts allowed in the unincorporated area of the county. Each district lists the permitted and condition uses that are allowed and the minimum dimensional requirements such as lot size and width and setbacks among other requirements. Applications for rezoning, variances, preliminary plats, final plats, and site plans are submitted to the Department. These applications are distributed to various other county departments for comments and scheduled for public hearings if applicable. The Department also administers the Fayette County Sign Ordinance and portions of the Fayette County Code.

All applications are submitted on SagesGov.com
