	City of Milwaukee
	Office of Mayor Tom Barrett

The Common Council's adoption of a new zoning ordinance for the city of Milwaukee in May 2002, with an effective date of October 1, 2002, was the culmination of several years of effort to re-write Chapter 295 of the Milwaukee Code of Ordinances and redraw the boundaries for zoning districts. A web-based version of the new ordinance was created to make it easily accessible to the public.
