From the meeting
At its September 22, 2026 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission continued review of a comprehensive draft update to Chapter 11, the zoning ordinance. The draft included changes to lot standards, accessory structures, exterior materials, lighting, stormwater, wireless towers, signs, and home occupations, and the planner said she would incorporate the commission's edits into a redlined draft for the next session. Shoreland and floodplain sections were noted as unchanged.
Decision state: review continued, not adopted.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will City of Nowthen issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Nowthen's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with City of Nowthen before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
