Planning & Zoning Related Ordinance Updates
In December 2025, the City of Shorewood began a process to update its Zoning Code following the completion of the Zoning Code Audit last fall. This update will be completed in two phases. The first phase includes technical updates to improve the usability of the Code and bring it into compliance with state statutes and case law. This phase has an anticipated completion date of Summer 2026. The second phase of the zoning code update will take place following the development of the City’s 2050 Comprehensive Plan. The primary purpose of the second phase will be to incorporate the direction established in the 2050 Comprehensive Plan into the zoning code.
The Zoning Code is part of the City Code that controls how individual properties can be used and how buildings can be constructed. The Zoning Code divides the City into districts with different allowable uses and standards for each district. The Zoning Code also includes standards which apply to all types of development, such as landscaping, screening, parking, lighting, fencing, architectural design, and signage.
Changes to the Zoning Code that are anticipated as part of the Phase 1 update include:
- Reorganization of the Code to make the code easier to navigate
- Creation of tables for allowable uses, dimensional standards, and parking requirements to improve usability
- Elimination of zoning districts that are no longer in use and consolidation of similar zoning districts to avoid repetition
- Technical updates to ensure compliance with state statutes and case law
This website is intended to provide an introduction to the Zoning Code Update project. The tentative meeting schedule and draft code will be posted here when it is available to allow for public review and comment. Please contact Planning Department staff with any questions.
