[HISTORY: Adopted by the Common Council of the City of Hudson 12-21-2009 by Ord. No.
13-09. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The purpose of this chapter is to adopt the City of Hudson Comprehensive
Plan as the Official Comprehensive Plan of the City of Hudson, Wisconsin,
as defined by W.S.A. § 66.1001, in compliance with the procedures
required under W.S.A. § 66.1001(4)(c). The Comprehensive
Plan is intended to promote public health, safety, and welfare of
the City by effectively guiding long-range growth and development
within the City and its statutory extraterritorial planning jurisdiction.
The Comprehensive Plan provides goals, objectives, policies and recommendations
for future land use, transportation, housing, economic development,
utilities, community facilities, natural and cultural resources, intergovernmental
relations, and implementation. Implementation of the Comprehensive
Plan is accomplished through other sections of the City Code of Ordinances,
more detailed plans, public investments, private development decisions,
intergovernmental cooperation and citizen involvement.
The authority of the City of Hudson to prepare and adopt a comprehensive
plan is established under §§ 62.23 and 66.1001, Wis.
Stats. § 66.1001(2) specifies the required contents of a
comprehensive plan.
The Common Council of the City of Hudson adopted written procedures
designed to foster public participation in every stage of the preparation
of the Comprehensive Plan, as required by W.S.A. § 66.1001(4)(a).

adopted Resolution No. 2-09, by a majority vote of the entire Commission

actions to implement the Comprehensive Plan, except as otherwise provided
for under Wisconsin Statutes.
