Permits & Applications
If you need to apply for a zoning compliance permit, would like to request a text change amendment to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), or apply for a variance to the ordinance, please fill out the appropriate application and turn it into the Planning Department.
Schedule a Meeting
We do advise scheduling a meeting to talk over your application prior to signing a lease or beginning activity to make sure your project doesn't face any unforeseen obstacles. We are generally in the office between 8 am and 5 pm, but due to meetings, site reviews, etc, we may not always be available. To schedule an appointment, please call the Planning Department at 910-663-3450 or send a message to our Permitting email.
Pre-submittal Meetings
Pre-submittal meetings are required before you can submit an application for a:
- Rezoning
- Master Development Plan
- Special Use Permit
- Variance
- Reasonable Accommodation
You can schedule a pre-submittal meeting with the Planning Administrator by calling 910-633-3451 or emailing the Planning Department.
Subdivision Review
Please contact the Planning Administrator prior to preparing a subdivision plat to make sure the final document is created in accordance with the town's ordinances.
You may email us with a draft PDF map to get comments prior to the preparation of mylar and paper copies.
For minor and major subdivisions, a pre-application conference and sketch plan review are required before you can apply for preliminary plat review.
Unified Development Ordinance
The primary document governing land use in the Town of Burgaw and its planning jurisdiction is the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO).
The UDO governs land use throughout the town and its extraterritorial jurisdiction, including:
- Administration procedures
- Site design
- Subdivision process
- Zoning
Living Document
The UDO was originally adopted in 2000, but as a living document, has been amended many times.
Current Version
The current version of this document is available, along with a list of amendments to both the UDO and the Official Zoning Map:
