The City of Des Moines Zoning Board of Adjustment held a meeting on September 23, 2026, to consider several zoning and conditional use requests. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a zoning exception for a non-illuminated wall sign at 600.167 Avenue and the denial of a use variance and conditional use request for a tobacco store at 2006 Indianola Avenue due to zoning nonconformance and unclear business operations. The board approved a conditional use request for Cedar Ridge Distillery at 1312 Locust Street, allowing a microdistillery and bar with conditions to safeguard neighborhood welfare. Additionally, a conditional use request for a wine and beer liquor store at 1905 Ingersoll Avenue was approved with standard conditions, including the removal of a fencing requirement. Motions to approve meeting minutes and the 2027 meeting schedule were also passed. The meeting involved detailed legal and zoning discussions impacting future business operations and property use in the city.
