Kenosha County board approves Brighton-area rezoning and map amendments

The Kenosha County Board approved several land-use measures affecting properties in the Town of Brighton and Union Grove during its meeting.

The board approved Resolution 162 and Ordinances 34 and 35, which address a request by Vicky M. Axton (owner listed with agent Angela Axton) for a change to the Kenosha County 2035 comprehensive plan map (map 65) and associated zoning adjustments for property listed at 2933541st Street in Salem in the town of Brighton. The measures move the parcel from ‘‘general agricultural and open land and non-farmed wetland’’ to include suburban density residential and related conservancy and overlay districts, the agenda materials show. The Planning, Development and Extension Education Committee had approved the items unanimously before they reached the full board. Supervisor Brown moved the measures and the board approved them.

The board also approved Ordinance 36 concerning the Nicholas A. Wilm Revocable Trust property at 5319 69th Drive in Union Grove. That ordinance requests rezoning involving A2 general agricultural and C1 lowland resource conservancy zoning in the Town of Brighton. The committee had approved the ordinance unanimously; Supervisor Brown moved it and Supervisor Meadows seconded. The board approved the ordinance.

These actions amend the county's adopted plan map and local zoning for the parcels named on the agenda. The items were presented as committee recommendations; no extended debate or recorded roll-call tallies were included in the transcript beyond the motion and announcement of approval. The board did not specify additional conditions or implementation steps in the record provided.

Next steps: the changes are recorded as adopted by the board on the meeting agenda and will be implemented through the county planning office and the next administrative steps for updating the Kenosha County 2035 plan map, as typical for zoning and plan map amendments.
