Planning, Development & Extension Education Committee Meeting, June 10, 2026

The Kenosha County Planning, Development & Extension Education Committee met on June 10, 2026, to discuss several land use and zoning matters, including comprehensive plan amendments, rezoning requests, and certified survey maps primarily related to agricultural preservation and rural residential development in the towns of Paris and Wheatland. The committee approved multiple motions to amend land use plans, rezone parcels, and approve certified survey maps, with conditions to preserve farmland and manage development access. Additionally, the committee addressed a temporary moratorium ordinance on battery energy storage system permits, which was approved to allow time for zoning ordinance review and public safety considerations. The meeting also featured presentations from the Extension Education team highlighting community development, housing initiatives, workforce development, youth leadership programs, and agricultural research projects. Public comments included concerns from Wheatland residents opposing battery storage projects due to environmental and safety risks. The committee approved minutes from the previous meeting and discussed upcoming agenda items, with some items tabled for future consideration.
