Welcome to Lakewood Together, the City of Lakewood&#39;s community engagement portal. Visit the pages below to get more information and share your thoughts on current City of Lakewood projects and issues. We appreciate your participation and feedback!

Welcome to Lakewood Together

<h1>Oct. 14 Update: New video</h1>Lakewood City Council gave final approval to updates for the city&rsquo;s zoning code on Oct. 13, marking the first major update since 2012. These updates align our code with the community&rsquo;s vision for Lakewood&rsquo;s future by ensuring thoughtful and gradual growth, supporting affordable housing options, and reflecting new state laws, all while protecting the character of our neighborhoods. The updates will go into effect in January 2026. <a href="https://www.lakewoodtogether.org/zoningupdates/widgets/106874/videos/6588" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Watch this video</a> of Mayor Wendi Strom and Director of Sustainability and Community Development Travis Parker answer questions that have come up in the community about what&rsquo;s changing and what it means for Lakewood.<hr>We&#39;ve added a <a href="https://www.lakewoodtogether.org/27589/widgets/94972/documents/73619" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">new map</a> that shows both the current and proposed residential zoning districts. To understand the legend on the map, use the <a href="https://www.lakewoodtogether.org/27589/widgets/94972/documents/73618" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Legend for Current Residential Districts</a> and the <a href="https://www.lakewoodtogether.org/27589/widgets/94972/documents/71558" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Legend for Zoning Map</a> for the proposed districts.The proposed Zoning Updates involve complex and detailed information because they are land-use regulations, and we&#39;ve added answers to <a href="https://www.lakewoodtogether.org/zoning-updates-faq" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">frequently asked questions</a>, where you can learn more through detailed answers.It&#39;s also important to know that not all properties will experience changes under the proposed updates even though the zoning code affects every property.

The zoning changes are a major component of implementing the <a href="https://www.lakewoodtogether.org/CompPlanUpdate" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Comprehensive Plan</a> and promoting its goals. <a href="https://www.lakewood.org/Government/Departments/Sustainability-and-Community-Development/Lakewood-Zoning-Ordinance" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><hr><h1>Why are zoning updates important?</h1>Zoning is a set of laws that regulate how land can be used in a specific area, and cities create these regulations to promote the health and safety of the community. Over the years, these zoning laws need to be updated, and Lakewood is in the process of updating its <a href="https://www.lakewood.org/Government/Departments/Sustainability-and-Community-Development/Lakewood-Zoning-Ordinance" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Zoning Ordinance</a>.The proposed changes that the Planning Commission and City Council will discuss in the coming months cover three main areas outlined below.

Zoning Updates

Lakewood is updating the City’s Comprehensive Plan and we want to hear from you! The Comprehensive Plan is an important document that outlines a holistic, shared vision for Lakewood over the next 10-15 years. The Plan will be used by staff, City Council, Planning Commission and other boards and commissions to inform decisions about housing, transportation, climate action, parks and more in Lakewood. Throughout 2024, we will be discussing what our vision and values are for Lakewood and what challenges we need to address moving forward so that we and future generations can continue to enjoy our community and thrive. How to Participate Now: In January we kicked off the public process to start developing the Plan. Over the next few months we want to hear from you about what your vision and values are for Lakewood's future!
