The City of Bentonville invites the public to attend an community meeting on Thursday, July 17, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Bentonville Library’s Walmart Room, the City will unveil the first draft of its new Unified Development Code (UDC)—a modern, user-friendly zoning code designed to guide Bentonville’s growth in a way that reflects the community’s input and ambitions.
The July 17 gathering will include both a presentation and conversation. Stations will be set up throughout the room to help attendees explore different aspects of the draft code at their own pace. City staff and project team members will be on hand to walk you through details, answer your questions, and collect your thoughts.
Because this draft is just that, a draft, your input is essential.
What makes sense and what needs clearer explanation? What have we missed? This is your opportunity to help ensure that the final code works not just on paper, but in the neighborhoods and places we all care about.
Whether you're a resident, a local business owner, a developer, or someone simply interested in the future of Bentonville, this meeting offers a chance to explore what’s proposed, ask questions, and share your insights. Your feedback will directly influence subsequent versions of the code.
