Navigating Planning and Zoning
This resource is to help prospective or practicing urban farmers navigate local planning and zoning. It defines common planning terms, outlines planning processes, explains zoning regulations, and recommends questions to raise with planning staff. If your municipality does not have a planning department, contact the city administrator or manager instead. The general information provided is applicable to urban farmers in any municipality in the region, but direct links to planning departments and zoning ordinances are provided for Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri.
This resource was developed based on the findings and recommendations in the 2021 task force report From the Ground Up: Planning and Zoning for Urban Agriculture in Greater Kansas City. Questions about this resource or the report can be directed to Andrea at aclark@kchealthykids.org.
