Start free trialPublic Hearing - Comp Plan Amendment - Housing Ratios
The purpose is to hear public comment on an amendment to Chapter 3-Housing in the City of Oconomowoc Comprehensive Plan 2050. The request is to change the Housing Mix Policy. The established housing ratio found on page 47 of the Comprehensive Plan is for housing to not drop below 60% for single-family dwellings, not to exceed 35% for multi-family dwelling units & not to exceed 5% for duplex units. The desired housing mix is being requested to change to not drop below 58.0% for single-family dwellings, not to exceed 37.3% for multi-family & not to exceed 4.7% for duplex units. This change would allow for a development called the Harvest at Pabst Farms to comply with the housing ratios which includes a minimum of 44 single-family homes & not to exceed 334 multi-family units. The project is located north of Pabst Farms Blvd, west of Sawyer Rd & south of Lake Country Village Subdivision.
