Warren County is currently working on a major update to its development regulations, which involves revising its Zoning, Subdivision, and related ordinances and consolidating them into a single Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). This effort also aims to implement key recommendations from the 2022 Warren County Comprehensive Development Plan, helping to shape future growth and development in a way that reflects the community’s vision.

Community input is a vital part of this process.

Residents, business owners, and other stakeholders are invited to attend a public meeting on Monday, July 8, 2025, at the Warren County Armory Civic Center, located at 501 US Highway 158 Business East, Warrenton, NC 27589. The meeting will be held from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

A presentation outlining the purpose and goals of the UDO update will begin at 5:30 PM, followed by an open-house format that will allow attendees to review draft materials, ask questions, and provide feedback directly to the project team.

This is an important opportunity for the public to help shape Warren County’s future by ensuring the updated ordinance reflects the community’s needs and priorities.

“A Unified Development Ordinance will make it easier for residents, developers, and business owners to understand the rules, navigate the process, and invest in our communities with confidence,” said Mark Bloomer, Warren County Planning and Zoning Director.
