Plan Commission - January 6, 2026

The City of West Bend Plan Commission meeting on January 6, 2026, focused on several key development projects including site plans for a new fire station with associated cold storage and training tower, a large industrial and office building for PS Seasonings, and a preliminary plat for a mixed residential and industrial subdivision called King Fisher Hollow. Discussions emphasized zoning, stormwater management, architectural design, and infrastructure improvements such as road extensions and utility connections. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to a concept plan for a 72-acre mixed residential development featuring single-family homes, ranch villas, and townhomes, with a focus on owner-occupied units and integration of NextGen housing principles to address affordable housing needs. The commission also discussed traffic impact considerations, park and open space planning, and the importance of interspersing affordable and market-rate housing to maintain neighborhood cohesion. The meeting highlighted collaboration between developers, city staff, and county programs to ensure compliance with zoning, design standards, and community goals, with several motions to approve plans and recommendations for further refinements.
