Palm Beach County Zoning Division is conducting a Survey of our Users of the Unified Land Development Code(ULDC). Staff is seeking your input in order to continue to seek ways to improve substantive changes to the ULDC and improve the overall functionality of the Interactive Code. Your responses to the survey questions will assist us in reaching this goal. Staff will post the results of the Survey on our Web Page. Thank you in advance for taking the survey. -Jon MacGillis, Zoning Director
