9 Del. C. §6901 et seq.; Kent County Code Chapter 205 (Zoning); coordinated with OSPC under Title 29 Ch. 92
§ 9 Del. C. Ch. 69 §§6901–6920
Research notes
Zoning power for the unincorporated portions of Kent County (areas outside Dover, Smyrna, Milford's Kent portion, Harrington). Levy Court (Kent's governing body) adopts zoning (§6902); Regional Planning Commission recommends; Board of Adjustment (§§6917–6920). Kent Comprehensive Plan coordinated with OSPC under Title 29 Ch. 92 (state planning act). Slowest-growth of the three counties; least preemption-related litigation. No statewide override embedded.
