Wyandotte County operates under a consolidated city-county government known as the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas. Zoning and land use are administered by the Unified Government's Planning and Urban Design (Planning and Development) department, which implements the Planning and Development Code (Unified Development Ordinance) for Kansas City, Kansas and Wyandotte County. Questions can be directed to the department at planningINFO@wycokck.org or 913.573.5750.
The governing regulations are contained in the Unified Government's Planning and Development Code (Unified Development Ordinance), which is published online at online.encodeplus.com/regs/kansascity-ks. The county's broader Code of Ordinances, including Chapter 27 (Planning and Development), is also available through the Municode Library for Wyandotte County - Unified Government, KS.
The Unified Development Ordinance establishes residential districts (A-G Agriculture, R Rural Residential, R-1 and R-1(B) Single-Family, R-2 and R-2(B) Two-Family, R-3 Townhouse, R-4 Garden Apartment, R-5 Apartment, R-6 High-Rise Apartment, and R-M Mobile Home Park); commercial districts (C-0 Nonretail Business, C-1 Limited Business, C-D Central Business, C-2 General Business, and C-3 Commercial); industrial districts (M-1 Light Industrial and Industrial Park, M-2 General Industrial, and M-3 Heavy Industrial); and special districts including TND Traditional Neighborhood Design and B-P Planned Business Park.
Under Article III of the Unified Development Ordinance, the Unified Government has a Board of Zoning Appeals.

The City Planning Commission and the Board of Zoning Appeals hold public hearings on planning and zoning matters.
The Unified Development Ordinance provides for special use permits (Sec. 27-214), which allow certain uses in a zoning district subject to review and specific conditions rather than being permitted outright. Rezonings, amendments, and other land-use applications are reviewed by the City Planning Commission before action by the Unified Government, following the procedures in the Planning and Development Code.
