The Development Code Docket is a list of proposed changes to County land use and development regulations. The list of requested changes are reviewed by the Board of County Commissioners who move some items from a preliminary docket list to an Official Docket for deeper analysis and public review. Items not completed by the end of the year may be included on next year's preliminary docket.
Anyone may request a change. Information about how to request a development code change is at the bottom of this page.

How Docketing Works
Anyone may request a change to the County's land use and development regulations using the process outlined below. All requests are first put on a Preliminary Docket. Next, the Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) decides which items go onto the Official Docket through the Docketing Process (PDF) (detailed memo on docket process, PDF). The BoCC then forwards the Official Docket to staff and the Planning Commission for analysis, review, and public hearings. After the Planning Commission completes its work, items go back to the BoCC, which decides whether or not to adopt them as regulations.
How to Request a Change to the Development Code Docket
Applications must be received by Nov. 15, 2023 in order to be considered by the BoCC in early 2024 docketing discussions.
