Comprehensive Plan: Existing Master Plan was adopted in 1998. The Village is currently working with Waukesha County on a cooperative Comprehensive Development Plan.
Basic process of approval or denial of a development plan:
• 1st The Village’s Plan Commission meets on the 2nd Thursday of each month at 7:00pm. Application submittals are due 3 weeks prior to the corresponding meeting date. Applicants have the option of utilizing a consultation with the Plan Commission. Consultations give applicants the opportunity to appear before the Commission for the purpose of discussing a potential project, rezoning, etc. Although the Commission cannot take action on a Consultation item, they can provide guidance and feedback to applicants. Such guidance and feedback will typically help applicants decide if they want to pursue a project further. The majority of projects seen by the Commission are site plan approval requests and conditional use grant applications.
• 2nd After application materials are submitted to Village Hall, Village staff forwards copies of the materials to both Village Planner and the Village’s Consulting Engineer. Both individuals prepare reports on proposed project requests for the benefit of the Plan Commissioners.
• 3rd Although some projects may only take one meeting to approve or deny, other applicants may have to return before the Commission numerous times prior to final action taking place. Aside from rezonings, final plats and certified survey maps, the majority of items are not forwarded to the Village Board for final approval.
