In Dane County, town plans are a critical piece of the local and county land use decisionmaking process.
The Dane County zoning ordinance stipulates that the Zoning and Land Regulation (ZLR) Committee use plans developed by towns and approved by the county board as criteria for zoning recommendations [Section 10.255(1)(d), DCCO].
In practice, the county uses the Dane County Comprehensive Plan as the guiding plan, since it is comprised of town plans adopted by the county board. Towns submit their adopted comprehensive plan, in its entirety, for county adoption as amendments to the Dane County Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, Wisconsin State Statute requires updates to each plan be done every 10 years.
