REZONING
REQUESTS
Rezoning
Application
All rezoning requests must be heard before the
Town Planning Commission. Meetings begin at 5:30 p.m. at the Town Hall. There is
a fee of $450.00. The schedule of Planning Commission meetings
dates:
A legal notice is published in the Post Crescent two times before
the scheduled hearing. State Statutes require that notices be sent to all
neighboring properties within 300 feet of the property to be rezoned. We
generally send notices to all property owners within 500 feet and sometimes
beyond. The petitioner is required to comply with our Citizen
Participation Ordinance prior to the Planning Commission meeting.
The Town Staff submits a written report to the Planning
Commission prior to the public hearing for review. All Commission members
receive all items submitted with the application.
At the public hearing, both sides, for and against can be
heard. If you are unable to attend a hearing, a written statement can be sent to
the Town Clerk for submittal to the Commission.
The Planning Commission makes a recommendation
to the Town Board. This recommendation is presented to the Town Board at the
next regularly scheduled Town Board meeting. If approved by the Town Board,
Special Exception Permits are final. Rezonings are submitted
to Outagamie County Zoning, for approval/denial. If approved by the County
Zoning Commission, it then goes to the County Board. After approval at this
level, it then becomes effective.
This entire process generally takes 1 1/2
to 2 1/2 months to complete.
