Council advances comprehensive‑plan and code amendments to implement state residential‑compatibility rules

City staff presented companion ordinances to bring the village's comprehensive plan and land development regulations into conformity with recent state statutory changes requiring specific factors and mitigation measures when evaluating residential compatibility. Village attorney and Community Development Director Jay Huff said the statute requires measurable compatibility factors (density, scale, buffers, operational/privacy impacts) and that the code will establish mitigation options such as increased setbacks or additional landscaping.
