Plan Commission - December 2, 2025

The City of West Bend Plan Commission convened on December 2, 2025, to discuss several land use and zoning amendments primarily focused on residential development. Key agenda items included a comprehensive plan amendment and zoning map amendment to change approximately 69 acres from single-family to two-family residential use to support a developer's request for increased housing density due to high public improvement costs. Public hearings were held, with community members expressing concerns about increased density, parking, and neighborhood compatibility. The commission approved the amendments with some dissent, emphasizing that future site plans would address design and parking details. Additionally, the commission adopted zoning text changes to align with updated FEMA floodplain regulations and approved extraterritorial certified survey maps for property subdivisions. The meeting highlighted the city's efforts to balance development needs, housing initiatives, and regulatory compliance in its planning processes.
