Fitchburg, WI Plan Commission 6-16-26

The Fitchburg, WI Plan Commission held a meeting on June 16, 2026, focusing on several key land use and development issues. The commission approved a minor comprehensive plan amendment to change the future land use designation of a property from mixed use to medium high density residential, following public input and revisions to the site plan that reduced density and added duplexes. They also approved conditional use permits and rezonings for various projects, including a mixed-use multifamily and commercial development at 2932 Fish Hatchery Road, a UPS store commercial building, and a new YMCA community fitness center. Additionally, the commission approved early issuance of permits for a multifamily development at Jamestown Quarry and granted underground electric easements for utility improvements. A significant agenda item was the adoption of the 2027-2036 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), which includes major infrastructure projects and City Hall remodeling, with discussion about the commission's role in the CIP process. The commission also approved a contract with Hausiea Levine for a comprehensive plan and zoning code update, which will be an 18-month process involving community engagement. Several motions related to architectural design reviews, subdivision maps, and easements were passed. The meeting concluded with elections for commission leadership and representatives to related committees.
