Zoning Code Update

Zoning Code Update – Longview Municipal Code Title 19

The City is undertaking a major evaluation of its zoning code, including the City’s subdivision regulations.  The process is expected to be complete by the end of 2011. The last encompassing evaluation and update of the City’s zoning and subdivision regulations was completed in 1967, over 40 years ago.

The City of Longview Comprehensive Plan 2006 provides guidance on what the City should be addressing as it updates its zoning code.

The City of Longview Planning Commission is responsible for guiding the update process.  Steve Langdon, Longview’s Planning Manager, is the project manager.  His phone number is 360.442.5083.  Comments or questions can be emailed to .

As draft code sections are developed and approved for release by the Planning Commission, they will be posted on this site.  Periodically, the City will hold public hearings or other public events to inform the public and receive comments.  Announcements of these events will also be posted on this site.

On January 4, 2012, the Longview Planning Commission scheduled a public hearing for the Draft Commercial (zoning) Code Update for their Wednesday, February 1, 2012 regular meeting.  The meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. and will be held in the Council Chambers on the 2nd Floor of City Hall, 1525 Broadway Street, Longview, WA.
