Pitt County is requesting qualifications from qualified and experienced consultants to develop the County’s first Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) that will consolidate, replace, and modernize the County’s existing development-related ordinances and regulations, including:

• Zoning Ordinance
• Subdivision Ordinance
• Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance
• Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance
• Stormwater Management Ordinance for Nutrient Control
• Riparian Buffer Protection
• Manufactured Home Parks Ordinance
• Outdoor Advertising Signs Ordinance
• Shooting Range Regulations
• Addressing Ordinance

The consultant will be expected to work closely with and be responsive to County staff, a steering committee, and stakeholder groups, and the Pitt County Planning Board.  Development of the new UDO is expected to take approximately twelve (12) to eighteen (18) months and should include a thorough analysis of existing development regulations; significant public engagement; research on current and emerging development trends; a comparison with comparable counties and other local jurisdictions; and other items as described in the desired scope of work.  For the complete scope of work, please see the link below to the full RFQ.

Submittals are due on or before 5:00pm on Friday, August 28, 2026.  For more information, please contact Eric T. Gooby, Assistant Planning Director at eric.gooby@pittcountync.gov.
