Planning & Zoning
The Village of Slinger's planning function is carried out by the Planning Commission and is supported by Village Staff. The Commission is established under State Statutes and consists of the Village President, a Village Trustee, and five citizen members appointed by the Village President. The primary role of the commission is to review and approve matters that affect the use of land in the Village and to implement the Village Comprehensive Plan. Consequently, the Commission deals with matters such as zoning, land subdivisions, site architecture, plan approvals, and the creation of regulations related thereto.
Zoning is the regulatory mechanism which controls the use of land. The State of Wisconsin grants broad power to municipalities to create and implement zoning regulations related to the use of land and waters and the placement of buildings therein.
The purpose of the Plan Commission review is to encourage and ensure that business development is environmentally compatible with the residential nature and character of the Village and compliance with the Village Zoning Code.
Technical Assistance
Village staff work with citizens, property owners, builders, and developers to assist them though the development process, including explaining zoning code requirements, required submittal items needed for Plan Commission review, and analyzing projects for Plan Commission consideration.
