Waupaca County adopts multiple comprehensive-plan and zoning-map amendments
Summary
The board approved Ordinance amendments to the Comprehensive Plan Map (PLUM items) and a series of Chapter 34 zoning map amendments (Z-030-21 through Z-039-21) affecting Towns of Union, Helvetia, Farmington, Weyauwega, Lebanon and Scandinavia; all motions carried 26-0.
During its Dec. 21, 2021 meeting, the Waupaca County Board adopted an ordinance amending the county Comprehensive Plan Map and approved a sequence of Chapter 34 zoning-map amendments resulting from Planning & Zoning Committee public hearings.
The Comprehensive Plan amendments (PLUM-06-21 through PLUM-08-21) include removal of a parcel from the Farmland Preservation Overlay in the Town of Union and category changes in the Town of Helvetia to accommodate boundary adjustments. The board also adopted zoning petitions Z-030-21 through Z-039-21, which convert parcels among classifications such as Rural Residential (RR), Hamlet (H), Agricultural Retention (AR), Sewered Residential (SR), Agriculture and Woodland Transition (AWT), Private Recreation and Forestry (PVRF), Public Recreation and Forestry (PURF), and Rural Residential Overlay (RRO). Examples: Z-030-21 (Town of Farmington) rezoned ~3.6 acres from RR to H; Z-038-21 (Town of Scandinavia) rezoned a 40-acre parcel from PURF to AR.
Each petition was presented as having the originating town’s approval and consistency with local comprehensive plans; the board recorded unanimous votes (26-0) on the items recorded in the minutes. The ordinance language in multiple items notes that amendments become effective upon filing with the affected town clerk or after the statutorily prescribed waiting period if no town disapproval is filed.
