Purpose

Ordinance Amendment to approve a map amendment (rezoning) of lands in the Town of Dellona from an Agriculture to a Multiple Family Residential Zoning District filed upon Cheri Hitchcock, property owner.

Background

Background: Cheri Hitchcock owns property in the NE ¼, NE ¼, Section 15, T13N, R5E, Town of Dellona, and has requested a map amendment (rezoning) of property legally described pursuant to petition 03-2023 from Agriculture to Multiple Family Residential zoning.  The intent of the map amendment (rezoning) is to allow the property owner to bring a legal non-conforming use into compliance with the current zoning ordinance to allow for the potential replacement of mobile homes on the property.

Pursuant to Wis. Stat. §59.69(5) Sauk County has the authority to develop, adopt, and amend a zoning ordinance.  At a public hearing held by the Land Resources and Environment (LRE) Committee on January 24, 2023; the LRE Committee made findings pursuant to Sauk County Code of Ordinance §7.150(9) and recommended approval of the map amendment.

Pursuant to Wis. Stat. §66.1001 Wisconsin Statutes, any program or action of a local governmental unit that affects land use shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan.  The Sauk County Comprehensive Plan, adopted by the Sauk County Board of Supervisors in 2009, defines managing and focusing “on efficient land use patterns that promotes redevelopment of under-utilized lands.  It sets limits on outward growth, incorporates permanent land preservation techniques, and achieves livable communities.”  Upon evaluation of the request, the Land Resources and Environment Committee found that the rezone request to a Multiple Family Residential Zoning district maintains this objective.
