A comprehensive plan is a local government’s guide to physical, social, and economic development. It provides a rational basis for local land use decisions with a 20-year vision for future planning and community decisions. The Wisconsin Comprehensive Planning Law (s. 66.1001 Wis. Stats.) requires public participation at the local level in deciding a collective vision for the community’s future, which is outlined in this Plan’s goals, objectives, policies, and Future Land Use map. Comprehensive plans must be updated no less than every 10 years.
At the end of most chapters is first, a list of programs that a community may use to implement that chapter, followed by a set of goals, objectives, and policies related to that chapter. The goals, objectives, and policies were initially created by the City’s Plan Commission during the planning process, and are used to guide future actions of the City over the planning period. Changes to these goals, objectives, and policies may be made through the amendment process for this plan.

The purpose of a Comprehensive Plan is to guide future growth and development in the Town over the next 10 to 20 years. A comprehensive plan provides the vision and direction for natural resource protection, housing and economic development, transportation and community facilities, land use, intergovernmental relations, and other factors that together form the community’s future. Comprehensive planning was enacted to encourage long-range planning for communities and provide consistency in land use decision making. The Comprehensive Plan is a guide that elected officials, residents, and business owners can use for directing growth and redevelopment in the community. The Comprehensive Plan is a long-range policy document consisting of goals, objectives, and policies prepared to meet the State’s definition of a comprehensive plan as defined under Section 66.1001.

A comprehensive plan is a local government’s guide to community physical, social, and
economic development. Comprehensive plans are not meant to serve as land use
regulations in themselves; instead, they provide a rational basis for local land use
decisions with a twenty-year horizon for future planning and community decisions.
