Zoning Ordinance Re-write Project

Background Information

The Zoning Ordinance is part of the City Code and it regulates a number of items that impact all types of development.

The ordinance regulates allowable uses in zoning districts, bulk requirements such as setbacks and lot area, landscaping and buffering requirements, signage requirements, home occupations, accessory buildings, as well as other miscellaneous provisions. The ordinance also includes the Zoning Map of the City of Marshalltown identifying the current zoning classification of all parcels.
