Rogers City Zoning Code

HOW TO

USE THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ORDINANCE

  1. Locate your property on the Zoning Map & Land Use Map.

    The Zoning Map can be found:
    1. Online (https://www.rogersmn.gov/planning-publications); or
    2. At City Hall.
  2. Determine which Zoning District applies to your property. There are general regulations and guidelines that apply to each zoning district. The zoning district where your property is located on the Zoning Map is called the base zoning district.
    1. Go to Article IV. Zoning District Standards to find a description of your zoning district and to determine the standards for your property.
    2. Use Table 4. Permitted Uses to easily determine whether your proposed use for your property is permitted, allowed as a special use, or prohibited.
  3. Determine if your property is located within an Overlay Zone or the Floodplain. There are areas of the City where properties have additional regulations and restrictions to protect natural resources and to moderate flood and stormwater impacts and/or district standards.

    Review Chapter 109 Shoreland and Wetland Protection and Article VI. Floodplain of this Ordinance to determine if your property is located within a shoreland area, a wetland area, and/or within a floodplain. Those areas are regulated through the corresponding overlay zones:
    1. Shoreland District
    2. Wetland Systems District
    3. Floodplain Overlay District
    Where there is joint application of districts, base or overlay, the more restrictive requirements will apply to your property.
  4. Check for additional use requirements.
    1. Article IV. Zoning District Standards defines the general regulations that apply to all zoning districts.
    2. Article V. Performance Standards and Regulations provides specific lot, building and use requirements.
  5. Establish any additional required procedures. Property owners who wish to subdivide unplatted land, to replat previously platted land, or to adjust the boundary lines between existing property lines should refer to Division III. Subdivision and Platting Procedures to determine the appropriate process and requirements. As a “unified code,” the subdivision code is combined with the zoning code in this ordinance.
  6. Use the procedure icons as a guide. The procedure icons are included throughout the Land Development Regulations Ordinance. These icons will assist you to:
    1. Navigate critical steps in your application process.
    2. Alert you to application or procedure requirements outlined in a different section of the code.
