Have growth patterns or rates changed since the land was zoned as it is now? If yes, please provide supporting data and
indicate how changed patterns or rates suggest the need for this rezoning.
Will the proposed rezoning maintain a desired consistency of land uses, land use intensities, and land use impacts as related to
the environs of the subject property? How?
Village Board. The Zoning Administrator shall schedule the proposed amendment for potential Village Board action. After careful
consideration of all comments, the Village Board shall within 120 days of submittal of a complete application, act to approve or reject
the proposed amendment, unless extended by written or electronic agreement of the applicant. Failure of the Board to act within 120
days of submittal of a complete application (unless said deadline is extended by agreement of the applicant) shall constitute approval
of the application as presented.
The Village Board may approve an amendment by a simple majority of a voting quorum, except that if the Board action is opposed to
or alters a recommendation of the Plan Commission (or Extraterritorial Zoning Committee for land in the ETZ Area), and/or an official
protest against the requested amendment to the Official Zoning Map meeting the requirements of Wis. Stat. § 62.23(7)(d)2m.a is filed,
then approval of the amendment to the Official Zoning Map shall require an affirmative vote from three-fourths or greater of the full
Village Board.
Effect of Denial. No application that has been denied (either wholly or in part) shall be resubmitted for a period of 12 months from
the date of said order of denial, except on grounds of new evidence or proof of change of factors found valid by the Zoning
Administrator.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT REQUIREMENTS
By August 1st of each year, the Zoning Administrator shall obtain Plan Commission approval of a Comprehensive Plan amendment
schedule, with the intent to adopt any Comprehensive Plan amendments in that annual amendment cycle by February of the following
year.
Applications for Comprehensive Plan amendments shall be submitted to the Zoning Administrator in writing each year by the annual
application deadline established in the approved amendment schedule, using a Village provided application form, in order to be
considered in that year’s amendment cycle. Only complete applications will be processed.
In addition to such applications, Village staff, the Village Plan Commission or any member thereof, or the Village Board or any member
thereof may request amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, by the annual application dateline or another date if established in the
approved amendment schedule.
The Zoning Administrator shall refer all proposed amendments under subsections (a) and (b) to the Plan Commission, within 30 days
following the latest required date of submittal.
The Commission shall advise Village staff as to which proposed amendments should be considered for further review, providing an
opportunity for public comment. Depending upon the number and nature of the proposed amendments, the Commission may hold a
public hearing before it decides which proposed amendments should be recommended for consideration. Notice of such hearing shall
be given by publication of a Class 1 Notice. In the case of a site-specific Future Land Use map amendment, the Zoning Administrator
shall also provide written notification to all property owners within 100 feet of the site.
After consideration of the proposed amendments and no later than January in the annual amendment cycle, the Plan Commission
shall recommend the approval of any proposed amendment to the Village Board. The Commission is under no obligation to
recommend approval of any requested amendment, and may recommend the amendment with modification. Such Commission action
shall be via adoption of a resolution.
