Summary

At its meeting the Plan Commission approved a slate of recommendations to forward to City Council: resolutions recommending adoption of TID 12 and TID 13 project plans and boundaries, and a recommendation to rezone 1911 Janesville Avenue to Multifamily Residential 30; the commission also approved minutes and adjourned.

The Fort Atkinson Plan Commission took the following formal actions and forwarded key items to the City Council.

- Approval of minutes: The commission approved the minutes from the July 14, 2026 meeting (motion moved SEG 021; second SEG 023). A commissioner noted they should technically abstain because they were not present at that meeting; the abstention was recorded.

- TID 12: The commission voted to recommend that City Council adopt the project plan and boundaries for Tax Increment District Number 12 (motion moved SEG 725; second SEG 727). Staff said the project plan includes roughly $12,500,000 in proposed public improvements and anticipates about $27,500,000 in added increment. The joint review board had reviewed the plan the day before.

- TID 13: The commission voted to recommend that City Council adopt the project plan and boundaries for Tax Increment District Number 13 (motion moved SEG 757; second SEG 759). Staff listed roughly $17,500,000 in proposed public improvements and about $32,500,000 in anticipated increment.

- Zoning: The commission voted to recommend that the City Council approve the zoning map amendment for 1911 Janesville Avenue from Rural Holding 35 to Multifamily Residential 30 (motion moved SEG 836; second SEG 837). Commissioners noted that the conditional-use permit and certified survey map processes remain separate and that easement or access issues will be addressed in those later steps.

- Adjournment: The commission moved to adjourn and the meeting ended at 4:42 p.m. (motion SEG 880; second SEG 881).

Votes were recorded as voice votes; the chair announced the motions carried. The commission’s recommendations will appear on upcoming City Council agendas for ordinance readings and final actions.
