Historic Information

In 2017, the City of Topeka Planning & Development Department updated all of the city’s zoning districts and permitted uses. The last comprehensive update of this manner was adopted in 2014 and prior to that, in 1992. Over the years, much input has been received from the public and development community where conflicts arose in the code that made it unclear or challenging. Staff took this into consideration reviewing every use/district and rebuilding this section into a user-friendly matrix format.
