The Waukesha Planning Commission and invited alderpersons reviewed draft chapters of a proposed zoning code rewrite focused on development standards, building design, access and mobility (parking), landscaping/natural resources, and sign regulations. Staff and consultant presenters walked through proposed changes — codifying long-standing design guidelines, tiered material rules, screening and lighting standards, new landscaping point requirements, parking minimums/maximums, and administrative approval pathways — and commissioners debated thresholds for administrative approvals, tree-preservation rules, and how to balance design standards with cost and predictability for developers. No formal votes were recorded.
