Revising Wädenswil’s building and zoning code | EBP

EBP has been commissioned to help the city of Wädenswil carry out a comprehensive revision of its building and zoning code (BZC), as well as its current zoning plan. The aim of our efforts is to adapt the code and plan to meet the challenges of densification and to harmonize them with the codes and plans in the villages of Schönenberg and Hütten, which became part of the city of Wädenswil in 2019. The city development plan and district analyses are to serve as a basis for the BZC revision, which is also to be accompanied by a public-participation process.
