Rockwell council adopts comprehensive zoning ordinance (Ordinance 2-2025)
Summary
At third reading the Rockwell City Council adopted Ordinance 2-2025, a comprehensive rewrite of the city zoning code governing land use, districts and penalties; the vote passed unanimously by roll call.
The Rockwell City Council adopted a new, comprehensive zoning ordinance at the meeting’s third reading, passing Ordinance 2-2025 by roll call. The ordinance revises rules “regulating and restricting the location, construction and use of buildings and structures and the use of land in the City of Rockwell, Iowa,” and repeals the prior local zoning code under Title 7, Chapter 7 in favor of the newly adopted provisions.
The chair read the ordinance language at the meeting and the council moved to adopt the measure. A roll-call vote followed; council members present — Brian, Tracy, Randy Meyer and Abbyhoff — each answered in the affirmative and the ordinance was declared adopted.
The ordinance establishes new zoning districts, creates a board of adjustment, repeals conflicting prior ordinances and provides penalties for violations, according to the text read aloud during the meeting. Council members did not request further amendments at third reading.
The ordinance was identified in the meeting record as Ordinance 2-2025. The council did not provide a separate implementation timeline in the discussion; any effective date or administrative steps beyond adoption were not specified at the meeting.
