The plan for Waukee will be used as a guide for making land use decisions,
preparing and implementing ordinances, preparing capital improvement
programs and influencing the rate, timing, and location of future growth.
It outlines the vision of the community for addressing systems such as
future land use, parks and open space, transportation, and infrastructure.
All land use decisions faced by the City of Waukee will be guided by
the vision, guiding principles, goals, and policies in this plan. A good
comprehensive plan also provides guidance to city leaders concerning
other community development topics such as economic development,
housing, natural resource enhancement and preservation, community
character, community identity, and others.
It outlines the Vision of how Waukee will evolve and change over the next 20 years. The overall goal of the plan is to outline a “roadmap” that will maintain Waukee as a healthy, sustainable, and desirable place to live.
