Porter County Plan Commission officials will hold three public input sessions next week on the proposed ordinance that completely rewrites the county’s zoning and subdivision rules.

Called the Unified Development Ordinance, the proposed document establishes new zoning categories and building standards. Among other provisions, the document also proposes scenic roadway corridors and arterial road corridors.

The document can be viewed online by going to the Porter County Plan Commission’s department web page on the county government’s website at www.porterco.org

The ordinance is expected to be revised based on public input. The public input sessions will be on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday of next week, all beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the County Administration Center. Each session will be devoted to select chapters of the new plan.
