Iowa Zoning Regulatory Framework
Iowa grants zoning authority to cities and counties under Chapters 414 and 335 of the Iowa Code, with planning and zoning commissions making recommendations and elected councils or boards of supervisors adopting rezonings, while comprehensive plans guide long-range growth. The Des Moines metro is the state's data-center center of gravity. In West Des Moines, the City Council has approved multiple Microsoft data-center campuses, and municipal council and plan-and-zoning proceedings are where the rezonings, development agreements, and incentives for those projects are decided.
