The benefits of comprehensively revising the County`s Zoning Code and other land development standards at the same time and integrating them into a single, Unified Development Ordinance are significant. 

• The UDO integrates the standards and procedures that developers must follow into a single document that can be organized in a logical way, following the normal course of a development project from start to finish. 
• The UDO creates a more streamlined document that eliminates duplicate or conflicting definitions and development standards and clarifies the relationships between the entitlement processes of rezoning, plat approval, approval of public dedications, and building permits. 
• The UDO provides the opportunity to include related ordinances that sometimes are overlooked in the development process because they are "buried" in obscure places in other County codes and ordinances.
