The City of Glendale is currently in the process of developing “Blueprint Glendale,” the City’s first Comprehensive Plan, along with an update of the City’s zoning code (which was originally adopted back in 1963).
Blueprint Glendale and the revised zoning code will guide the physical character of development, public space and infrastructure in Glendale. They will be written in response to the Glendale community’s goals and aspirations and be built upon a community-supported and community-driven Vision for the future of Glendale.
The Comprehensive Plan will serve as a policy guide to be used by City staff, the Board of Aldermen, Planning and Zoning Commission, Architectural Review Board, and other area leaders for making decisions about long-term development, improvements, services and other investments in the City.

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.
