North Liberty Comprehensive Plan

Connected to Tomorrow

Connected to Tomorrow

ABOUT THE PROJECT

As the City of North Liberty looks towards its future growth, a major goal is to embark on developing a roadmap for the future. An updated Comprehensive Plan will provide recommendations, goals, and ideas on a diverse range of topics, including land use, transportation, housing, parks, infrastructure, and economic development. It will consider opportunities that North Liberty expects to face over the next 10-20 years.

PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT:    

  • Refine the vision from the 2013 Comprehensive Plan for a changing community.     
  • Identify the future opportunities and forces affecting the city.  
  • Analyze potential development and redevelopment options in strategic areas. 
  • Support equitable and inclusive development and design.
  • Identify an implementation strategy for both short and long-term needs.

Virtual Open House


The North Liberty Connected to Tomorrow Virtual Open House is now live! 

The long-range plan is reaching its final stages in the process! This Virtual Open House provides a summary of the feedback received from the in-person Open Houses, Listening Sessions, Design Workshop, and Online Community Survey responses. Within the Virtual Open House, you will find stations with a draft of the plan’s vision for North Liberty that will be released in a full document this fall.

Stay Updated:

A comprehensive plan focuses on creating a shared vision of the future, finding solutions to current problems, and providing a guide to realize the vision.


Under Iowa Code, a Comprehensive Plan is a policy document that informs decision-making in a city. Zoning ordinances must also generally align with the comprehensive plan.
