In 1999, the Wisconsin Legislature passed the Comprehensive Planning Law, which required certain land use actions of a local governmental unit, such as a town, to be consistent with the comprehensive plan of that unit. That meant a town had to have a comprehensive plan in effect with which its actions would be consistent. Planning allows a town to carry out an orderly, transparent process to develop a vision for its future and to set goals and establish priorities for making land-use decisions. It involves balancing preservation of agricultural, natural, and cultural resources and economic development. Responsibility for preparation of the plan lies with the town plan commission. |
