[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of
the Village of Cottage Grove 4-17-2000. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The purpose of this chapter is to establish
the Village of Cottage Grove Comprehensive Master Plan as the Official
Comprehensive Master Plan of the Village, as defined by Wisconsin
Statutes. The Comprehensive Master Plan is intended to promote public
health, safety, and welfare of the Village by effectively guiding
long-range growth and development within the Village and its statutory
extraterritorial planning jurisdiction. The Comprehensive Master Plan
provides goals, objectives, policies, and recommendations for future
land use, transportation, housing, economic development, utilities,
community facilities, agricultural resources, natural resources, cultural
resources, intergovernmental relations, and implementation. Implementation
of the Comprehensive Master Plan is accomplished through other sections
of the Village Code of Ordinances, more detailed plans, public investments,
private development decisions, intergovernmental cooperation, and
citizen involvement.
The authority for the Village of Cottage Grove
to prepare and adopt a Comprehensive Master Plan is established under
ss. 62.23 and 66.0295, Wisconsin Statutes. Section 66.0295(2) specifies
the required contents of a Comprehensive Master Plan.
The Village of Cottage Grove Comprehensive Master
Plan, adopted by resolution of the Plan Commission on March 8, 2000,
and by ordinance of the Village Board on April 17, 2000, is the official
Comprehensive Master Plan of the Village of Cottage Grove.[1] The above-mentioned Comprehensive Master Plan supersedes and replaces all Comprehensive Master Plans previously adopted by the Village, except as explicitly provided for in the Comprehensive Master Plan document or under § 23-5 below. The text, maps, tables, graphics, goals, objectives, policies, and recommendations of the adopted Comprehensive Master Plan are intended to serve as a guide as the Village undertakes subsequent actions to implement the plan, except as otherwise provided for under Wisconsin Statutes.
