City Zoning Code UpdatesParks Rezoning Public Hearing
Currently, all of Wayzata’s park properties and city-owned open space are zoned for residential use, commercial use, or Planned Unit Development. To protect and preserve these properties from any future development, Wayzata is proposing to rezone all of the properties to Parks and Open Space. The second reading of the proposed ordinance will take place at the June 7 Council meeting.
Zoning Code Updates
City staff is proposing changes to the residential and commercial zoning districts within the City Code. The changes are intended to align the zoning code with the Comprehensive Plan and include new accessory dwelling unit regulations. Public comments are encouraged and can be sent to publiccomment@wayzata.org before the June 7th meeting of the City Council.
For information on all proposed zoning changes, visit the project webpage.
