Commission corrects zoning code typo to fix 'temporary foundation' definition

Pleasant Prairie Plan Commission · August 17, 2026

Summary

The commission approved a text amendment to correct a typographical error in the village zoning ordinance's definition of 'temporary foundation,' restoring the intended Uniform Dwelling Code–based wording; staff said the error was introduced during a multi-ordinance update in 2025.

The Plan Commission moved and approved a zoning text amendment to correct the definition of "temporary foundation" in the village zoning ordinance. Staff said the correction simply reinstates the intended definition, aligned with the Uniform Dwelling Code, and that the incorrect wording was introduced inadvertently during a batch of ordinance updates in 2025.

One commissioner described how they encountered the error while preparing correspondence and asked staff to investigate. A meeting participant who reviewed the code acknowledged the mistake and said, "it was our error," noting the village will correct the codified language. The amendment was approved after a short public hearing with no speakers and a motion by Michelle followed by a second by Neil.
