LUMO UPDATE
LUMO UPDATE
Chapel Hill's vision for the future is more connected, sustainable, inclusive, and vibrant - and updating our land use rules is one important step towards realizing that future. On this site you can learn more about the process and follow the project. We'll continue to add information, so check back often as the project moves ahead.
What is LUMO?
Our LUMO (Land Use Management Ordinance) is a set of rules that govern how we use and develop land. It covers everything from what types of buildings can be built in a certain area to how our streets and sidewalks are designed.
Why are we updating LUMO?
Our LUMO is over twenty years old, and a lot has changed since 2003. Over the years, we’ve made some updates and adopted plans for transportation, affordable housing, and climate action, but we're overdue for a comprehensive update. A new LUMO will reflect all of those plans and create a strategic framework for the future.
Who is doing this work?
- Staff in the Town’s Planning Department are leading the work, with help from a consultant team and staff in other departments.
- Community members have provided input and feedback over the last several years as part of other projects and processes.
- Town Council provides guidance and feedback. They'll ultimately adopt the new LUMO.
When is this work happening?
In 2024, we are drafting a new LUMO based on information and input we’ve received and reviewed over the last several years. We're excited to bring it all together, put pen to paper, and create these new land use rules. Throughout this year, staff will share information and updates about the draft LUMO. We expect Town Council to consider adopting the new LUMO this Fall.
Throughout the project, we'll post questions to get your thoughts and ideas.
We've got a monthly newsletter. Sign up to receive updates and upcoming meeting information.
