Lakewood Zoning Improvement Home

Fun Facts

Lakewood is a great place to live and we are always working to make it even better. So after 28 years, Lakewood is revisiting our Zoning Ordinance. We’re making changes to create a document that more accurately reflects our community vision and addresses changing needs. When we’re done, the new Zoning Ordinance will be easier to use with simplified processes that enhance the unique character of Lakewood’s neighborhoods.

The process kicked off in June 2009. Community involvement is vital to the success of the Lakewood! Zoning Improvement process and we look forward to receiving your input and ideas. Check back here regularly for updates on our progress and for information about community events.
