Fitchburg, WI Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee 7-21-26

The Fitchburg, WI Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee met on July 21, 2026, to discuss several zoning and land use matters related to agricultural and rural residential properties. Key procurement-related topics included approval of rezoning requests, conditional use permits, and certified survey maps (CSMs) for properties involving horse boarding facilities and rural residential development. The committee approved a rezoning from AX to small lot agriculture with conditional use for horse boarding, as well as a CSM to reconfigure lot lines. Another agenda item involved rezoning and subdivision of farmland into residential and small lot agricultural parcels, with waivers requested for certain rural residential development criteria. The committee voted to approve the related CSM and rezoning requests. Additionally, staff provided updates on farmland preservation zoning and upcoming public engagement efforts for subdivision ordinance revisions. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the meeting focused on land use approvals that could impact future development and procurement activities in the agricultural and rural sectors.
