ZONING CODE UPDATEShare your ideas to help us update the Village of Woodridge's Zoning Code!
The Village of Woodridge is currently updating its Zoning Ordinance, which was adopted in 1976 and updated in 1991. While amendments have been made from time to time, this is the first comprehensive update. Zoning is the main regulatory tool used by local governments to manage the use and form of development on private property.
