Zoning Ordinance Update

The City of West Burlington is seeking to update its zoning and subdivision regulations. We understand that the intent is not to draft a completely new set of regulations, but rather to modernize the existing chapters 165 and 170 covering zoning and subdivision regulations in city code. This is an opportunity to address specific issues and to incorporate any amendments into the ordinance that will result in a simplified, user-friendly and enforceable code.
