Comprehensive Plan

All planning-related activities revolve around the City of Hardeeville's Comprehensive Plan (PDF), which inventories current conditions in the City and sets a blueprint for guiding future land development based on the inventory and future expectations. Every ten years, the City of Hardeeville releases a new Comprehensive Plan in accordance with state law. Comprehensive Plans are updated after five years to reflect changes that may have occurred or are necessary to update. The current Comprehensive Plan (PDF) was adopted by City Council in July 2019.

Municipal Zoning & Development Ordinance (MZDO)

The Municipal Zoning and Development Ordinance (PDF) is the governing document that covers zoning regulations and land development regulations for the City of Hardeeville. The Current MZDO (PDF) was adopted in 2008 and has had some updates since that time.

Maps

The Official Zoning Map (PDF) shows which areas of the City are zoned for what zoning district. Every parcel within Hardeeville City Limits has a zoning district designation and is subject to standards in the MZDO.
