Comprehensive Plan: 2050
Adopted 11-6-2024
The Town contracted with the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (in June of 2022) to update to the Comprehensive Plan. The updated plan was unanimously adopted by the Town Board on November 6, 2024, via Ordinance 2024-9. This action followed a recommendation from the Plan Commission via Resolution at their October 16th meeting. Public comment period was September 16th - October 9th. Public comment was also accepted at the Public Hearing held at the November 6th Town Board meeting. The Comprehensive Plan will act as the main planning document for the Town with a plan year out to 2050 (will be revisited every 10 years).

The Town approved a scope of services with SEH (Short Elliot Hendrickson) in the summer of 2023 to update the Zoning Code. The update will introduce mixed use options in the 5 Corners Town Center to modernize the code, and make updates so the Zoning Code is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The Zoning Code is the backbone of Town land use and daily implementation. The project is anticipated to be completed in late 2025/early 2026.
Open House: The Plan Commission held an Open House for viewing of the progress on the Zoning Code update on April 29, 2024. The Open House followed two workshop visioning sessions held in late 2023 with the Town Board, and reviews by the Plan Commission at their February and March meetings. The Open House featured the existing Zoning Map, draft proposed Zoning Map, along with a detailed list of land uses broken down by zoning district that would be proposed to be allowed as principal uses and conditional uses. Staff from SEH presented a summary of the work to date, which primarily addresses the Town Center and business districts, took questions and comments, and provided comment cards. The Town also mailed out notices to property owners affected by the Zoning Code update, and published a notice in the News Graphic. The Zoning Code chapter is likely to be adopted through several separate ordinances (not all at once with one ordinance), and the Comprehensive Plan amended at the completion of the Zoning Code project to meet the statutory consistency requirement.
Current Status: The Plan Commission has completed initial work, and the code is being prepared for legal review.
