The City of Indianola is hosting a virtual public input meeting next week to discuss the city’s zoning and site plan regulations. Community and Economic Development Director Charlie Dissell tells KNIA News this is part of an overall effort to update the city to have more modern regulations.

“For example our current regulations don’t say anything about solar panels. Presumably this zoning code was adopted sometime in the 70’s or the 80’s where solar panels weren’t nearly as popular as they are becoming today. So the new zoning code will address solar panels. Things like that that we need to start addressing in our regulations and making sure that we are accounting for those trends.”

The meeting will take place on Thursday, April 29th beginning at 6pm. For more information, please contact Charlie Dissell, Community and Economic Development Director, by phone at 515-962-5276 or by e-mail at cdissell@indianolaiowa.gov.
