The City of Charleston is undertaking a project to update and modernize its Zoning Code. The process is called Setting New Standards. The purpose of the project is to modernize the current set of regulations that govern development in the City to make them more user-friendly, address the planning and development goals of the recently adopted comprehensive plan, Charleston City Plan, address rising water levels that will impact current and future development, and ensure the updated regulations treat all members of the community equitably.
