The Planning Department will be updating Chapter 16 of the Municipal Code (Sherwood Zoning and Community Development Code) so that it is easier for the public and developers to use. The updates will reflect the current rules as well as community values.

It is assumed there will be no changes to the Comprehensive Plan as part of this update, rather the text is being updated, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan to better reflect current values and needs.

A list of issues to be addressed in the clean up has been identified, we want your input on specific issues in the work program:
