This improvement package was submitted as recurring but is being recommended as non-recurring.
This improvement package request is for the Zoning Enforcement Officer to attend the lowa Association
of Code Enforcement Officials (IowACE) Conference annually. IowACE is a nonprofit association
comprised of code enforcement personnel throughout the State of lowa. Attending IowACE conferences
offers significant benefits that enhance our zoning enforcement capabilities. Participation will provide
access to training sessions focused on the latest code enforcement practices, helping the officer stay
updated on state regulations and best practices. This knowledge is crucial for effective enforcement,
ensuring compliance and promoting a high quality of life within our communities. Networking with peers
from across lowa will foster collaboration and knowledge sharing, allowing our officer to learn from the
experiences of others in similar roles. This engagement can lead to innovative strategies for addressing
common challenges in zoning enforcement. Overall, sending the Zoning Enforcement Officer to
IowACE aligns with the City Council goal of a Financially Responsible, High-Performance City
Organization by ensuring sustainable and effective service delivery while promoting a vibrant
community.

UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE
The City is conducting a thorough evaluation of the Unified Development Code (Zoning, Subdivision and
Historic Preservation Regulations)
Completed:
• Public Survey: 264 Responses
• Technical Survey: 46 Responses
• Stakeholder Interviews: 52 Invitations
• Developer's Roundtable Stakeholders Meeting: January 28, 2025
• Technical Report Presentation to Zoning Advisory Commission and City Council
In Progress:
• Review of Staff Draft
• Initial review of the draft code to ensure the document is organized, clear, and internally consistent, and that
it aligns with applicable state laws. It is a critical quality-check stage to confirm that key concepts and
requirements from the current code have been accurately carried forward and that nothing important has
been unintentionally omitted.
Next Steps:
• Public Draft is prepared
• Public open houses, stakeholder reviews, and review by the Zoning Board of Adjustment and Zoning Advisory
Commission
