The Land Use Plan integrates constraints, opportunities, economic necessities, aesthetics, and the health and welfare of the population into the long term development outlook for the city. The plan balances those concerns across the entire city and provides a rationale for future changes. It provides the basis for the zoning ordinance, which guides the implementation of the City’s vision for development.
The Land Use Plan 2035 presents an updated future land use map, which provides the points-of-reference from which the planning commission can deliberate proposed zoning changes. Requiring that zoning changes are in accordance with the planning commission’s designations of future land use ensures that zoning addresses the broader concerns of the city.
The future land use map and the Zoning Map provide current and future land owners the development framework for the city on which investment decisions can be made. Adherence to the land use plan and to the zoning ordinance ensures consistency and stability for future development and provides a level of certainty to current and future land owners.

The City of Maryville has evaluated all alleys and determined those that are no longer needed for public service. The City is in the process of abandoning these alleys.
Background of Alleys in Maryville
Process of Alley Abandonment
The City of Maryville established a work group to address this issue. The work group includes representatives from the various city departments so that all of the uses of alleys can be considered including access, garbage collection, location of utility lines, and usefulness to fire and police operations. The work group will recommend the abandonment of alleys to the Maryville Regional Planning Commission, who will make a formal recommendation to City Council. The Council has final approval authority.
Adjoining property owners will receive a letter - at their address of record - prior to the Planning Commission meeting and can meet with the staff of the Development Services Department or attend the Commission meeting if they have questions. Additionally, a notice will be published in The Daily Times advertising the City Council meeting. At this meeting, there will be a public hearing and City Council will consider a closure ordinance for the alley on first reading. The ordinance will also have to pass on second reading at the Council’s next regular meeting in order for it to become effective.
In most instances, once an alley is closed, it reverts to the property owners on each side of it in a “50/50” manner. The City will prepare quit claim deeds at no cost to the adjoining owners and record them at the courthouse. If there are utilities in the alley including electric, water, sewer, gas, cable, and storm sewer, a utility easement would be retained in the ordinance closing the alley.

- Many alleys shown on older recorded plats were never built.
- Of the alleys that were constructed, some are no longer used or needed.
- Unneeded alleys (whether developed or not) may represent a potential liability and maintenance problem for the city, and may be a nuisance for adjoining residents and business owners.
