March 22, 2017
At the March 21, 2017 City Commission meeting, the Commission held a public hearing on the review of the final amendments to the “Land Development Code” (or more popularly known as “Chapter 6 Zoning Ordinances”). After due consideration of the updates brought forward to the City Commission by the Planning and Zoning Commission, the final draft was unanimously approved 5-0. The new amendments take effect immediately. The updates include expansion of the definitions section, expansion of the uses allowed in each zoning district, the creation of new zoning districts, the inclusion of new design standards for development, and the refinement of the roles and responsibilities of city staff when implementing the Land Development Code.
Work will soon begin on the remainder of the chapters of the city’s municipal code. Many of these chapters are out of date and need to be brought into compliance with newly passed legislation by the state of North Dakota. The public is invited to attend all hearings related to this task. If you have any questions, please call Bowman City Hall at 701-523-3309.
