What is planning and zoning?

Planning is the process of developing and coordinating land use in order to guide how and where people live, work, and play. It creates a blueprint for development to create cities and towns that are functional and convenient.

Zoning is the regulated division of land into various zones within which various uses are permitted. Zoning districts are created to keep compatible uses together and provide an enforceable code for how land and buildings are used.

Pre-Application Meetings

Interactive Zoning and Sign District Map

Our Interactive Zoning Map allows you to enter in a specific address to determine its zoning designation, its sign district, and more. Visit the map to see in which districts your home or business sits. 

By viewing both the interactive zoning map and the intent set out in the zoning code, an individual should be able to determine if their project or business is suitable use for a specific address in the City. If you aren't sure, please contact the Community Development Department (816-274-6006) and we will be more than happy to help.
