Belgrade City Code Update

PROJECT UPDATE: After a few years of working hard, the consultant team and staff are finalizing a FIRST DRAFT of the City of Belgrade Zoning Code Update. Key pieces of the Draft Code are available on this page for public review on the right of this page under "Draft Zoning Code", including:

• A Full Draft of the Zoning Code Update
• A summary of the changes made to the existing Zoning Code
• The Draft Zoning Map - also available below as an interactive map to give geo-located input
• The Draft Design Guidelines

Please provide input using the survey tool below.

The City of Belgrade is updating its zoning code, which has not been updated since 1977. The City is interested in incorporating concepts of a form-based code which regulate things like building height, streetscape and setbacks rather than the use of a parcel. We'd like to hear from you about your vision for the future of Belgrade and how zoning can help achieve that vision. Share your big idea, tag our map, or take a survey to engage with Be Heard Belgrade!

So, what is zoning?

Zoning is a regulatory framework designed to implement a community vision and minimize adverse impacts. Zoning regulations are designed to ensure that as new development occurs, it is consistent with and will help a community achieve its vision for the future.

Community Engagement

On May 10th, 2023, a Community Meeting and Open House was held at the Belgrade Public Library to discuss the Zoning Code Update with residents. The event was advertised both physically and online for a month leading up to the date. 41 people attended the event between 6-8pm and were provided snacks and refreshments from a local food truck. Attendees engaged in open dialogue with city staff and left feedback in the form of comments with interactive engagement materials. These comments and feedback from the online survey tool will be incorporated into the final draft of the Zoning Code Update.
