City of Riverside Comprehensive Plan

The City of Riverside has partnered with the East Central Iowa Council of Governments (ECICOG) to update its comprehensive plan, last updated in 2013. Comprehensive plans are required for cities in Iowa that have zoning. They provide a long-term vision for the community, goals and objectives to work toward the vision, and continuity for changes in community leadership. Project updates will be shared on this page. The City and ECICOG will conduct outreach in the community to develop a vision for the community over the next ten years. City residents and business owners will have several opportunities to weigh in to help define the vision. The updated plan will provide guidance to City leaders for growth and development that is consistent with the community's vision.

The planning process is estimated to take approximately 12 months. Community members will find project updates and ways to be engaged, including event information input activities, at this site. Community input is critical to ensuring the plan reflects the priorities of residents. We would love to hear from you!
