On Wednesday, April 8, 2026, the City of Glendale adopted “Blueprint Glendale,” the City’s first Comprehensive Plan. Blueprint Glendale, along with a revised and updated zoning code, is intended to guide the physical character of development, public space and infrastructure in Glendale.
Developed with extensive community input, the Comprehensive Plan serves as a policy guide to be used by City staff, the Board of Aldermen, Plan Commission, Architectural Review Board, and other area leaders for making decisions about long-term development, improvements, services and other investments in the City.
Thank you to everyone who attended the public hearing and provided feedback. The city greatly appreciates the input provided by the community throughout the two-year process. The final adopted plan is available at the link below.
The update to the City's zoning code (originally adopted in 1963 and largely unchanged since) is still in development, but it will be informed by the future land use map contained in Blueprint Glendale.

Blueprint Glendale FAQ
The City of Glendale has contracted with a professional planning services team, headed by H3 Studio, to lead this process. H3 was selected following a public RFP process and the firm has recently completed or is working on comprehensive plan updates for the Missouri cities of Festus, Lebanon, Florissant, Union, Frontenac and Washington.

Work on the comprehensive plan and the updates to the zoning code is expected to continue through most of 2024 with several opportunities for public engagement and feedback available throughout the upcoming months.
Using input from the public, elected officials, City staff and a Steering Committee, H3 will prepare a final draft of Blueprint Glendale for adoption by the Glendale Board of Aldermen. The Board of Aldermen will also need to approve the proposed revisions to the City’s zoning code.
The adoption of the comprehensive plan and the zoning code updates don’t mark the end of the process, however. City staff and elected officials will then work on implementing the vision and goals outlined in Blueprint Glendale over the coming years and decades.
