Home MenuReCode Laredo
We've got the plan and vision for Laredo, now it's time to update our Land Development Code (LDC). This code sets the regulations and guidelines for how Laredo is built.
What is ReCode?
ReCode Laredo is the City of Laredo's initiative to rewrite our land development code. This project is a follow-up to the City Council adopted comprehensive plan, Viva Laredo, which aims to provide a more connected, sustainable, and affordable future, embodying the values and needs of the Laredo community.
Why is it important?
The Land Development Code regulates how and where we build and grow as a City. By updating this code, we plan to improve the process and allow for more creative, affordable, and sustainable solutions as Laredo moves into the future. Laredo's current Land Development Code was written nearly 30 years ago. The code requires a complete re-haul in order to enable the development of the kinds of spaces and places our community voiced they want to see in the years to come.

Draft Unified Development Code
The ReCode effort will update and unify the existing Land Development Code, Subdivision Ordinance, and all other codes and ordinances related to land development and regulation. The result will be a new Unified Development Code (UDC). The effort started in the fall of 2019, involved significant public outreach and stakeholder involvement, and is scheduled to be brought to the City Council for consideration in the fall of 2025. The following is the current draft (draft no. 6), which is still subject to change.
