Ord. #1243 - An Ordinance to Repeal and Recreate Chapter 17 Zoning Code and the
Official Zoning Map of the City of Muskego. On the floor, deferred 1/9/2007. Mr.
Muenkel stated this ordinance and the others remaining on the agenda supports the
recreation of Chapter 17. The Plan Commission has recommended approval. There
are some proposed amendments to the zoning map from what was originally presented.
Most of the proposed changes are in response to requests by property owners to retain
the existing zoning. Mr. Muenkel reviewed the changes to seven areas. He noted that
the current Comprehensive Plan goes to 2010. Work will begin on the next plan in the
near future. Buckmaster stated that the Plan Commission and Council to date have
made it clear that the Comp Plan will be followed when it comes to densities. Schaefer
stated it is important that the City’s zoning map match the Comprehensive Plan. She is
concerned that some of the property owners may misinterpret what is being done and
there will be a push for compromise. She wanted it noted for the record that any zoning
petitions that are submitted would have to conform to the 2010 Comp Plan. Borgman
stated the same concerns. Atty. Molter stated this is an attempt to give property owners
time to propose development in those areas that would meet the objectives of the
existing Comp Plan. He stated that in 2010, the map and Comp Plan will have to agree.
Buckmaster moved to amend to include the revised map. Borgman seconded.
Motion carried with Melcher, Salentine, Borgman, and Buckmaster voting yes,
