Modernizes Code of Ordinances, Comprehensive Plan, and Other Documents with enCodePlus

After months of searching for a comprehensive solution to display and update their regulatory documents, the City of Grimes partnered with enCodePlus to build their vision. Several documents were made accessible and interactive online, including:

• Code of Ordinances
• Zoning Regulations
• Comprehensive Plan 2018 Update • Visual Design Guidelines
• Heritage PUD

A plan navigator was created to help users explore the Comprehensive Plan 2018 Update. Development Calculators were also built and calibrated based on the Zoning Regulation. The site was launched at the end of 2020 with the support of Grimes’ planning staff. In 2021, the City partnered with enCodePlus again, this time to conduct a full editorial review of their Code of Ordinances. The editorial review corrected and unified word usage, internal and external cross- references, formatting, numbered lists, and more. All this preparation laid the groundwork that would allow staff to rewrite their Zoning Regulations in Fall of 2022.

“Editorial Recodification is the perfect way to prep your document for a Legal Review. ECP can help with both!”
