Plan Commission recommends adoption of 2025 Village of Ashwaubenon comprehensive plan update
Summary
The Plan Commission voted to forward Resolution R8-125 recommending adoption of the Village of Ashwaubenon's 2025 comprehensive plan update; the plan will next go to the Village Board for a public hearing and ordinance adoption.
The Village of Ashwaubenon Plan Commission on Aug. 6, 2025 voted to recommend adoption of the 2025 comprehensive plan update by approving Resolution R8-125.
Planning staff member Erin, who led the multi-chapter effort, described the process and noted the commission's formal role: "the resolution is a formal recommendation to the Village Board that the Planning Commission is recommending adoption of the Comprehensive Plan." Erin explained that while the comprehensive plan itself is not an ordinance, the Village uses an ordinance as the legal mechanism to adopt the plan under state statute.
Commissioner Aaron asked how long the comprehensive plan remains in effect. Erin replied, "So a comprehensive plan is good for 10 years," and added that the village may choose to update it sooner given recent redevelopment; the commission discussed that the previous plan was adopted in 2016 and would be up in 2026.
A commissioner moved to approve Resolution R8-125 recommending the 2025 comprehensive plan update; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote when the chair called for the ayes and said "Motion carried." Following the commission recommendation, the plan will be scheduled for a Village Board public hearing at the end of the month and the Board may adopt an ordinance to enact the plan as provided under Wisconsin statute.
Commissioners and staff thanked Erin for leading the work; several commissioners noted that completing the plan update internally saved the village money compared with outside consulting quotes.
