What is a Comprehensive Plan?

A Comprehensive Plan is the guiding policy document that establishes the community vision for the next 20 years. Within the Plan are a set of policies that direct future growth and development, and recommendations and potential strategies to assist City leaders with making substantive and thoughtful decisions to achieve the community vision. Wisconsin Statutes require Comprehensive Plans to address these specific topics in the context of a 20-year vision, and provide a rational basis for local land use decisions.  Each Section of the Plan includes the vision, goals, and objectives for the topic. The Common Council adopted the Comprehensive Plan, City of Oak Creek on March 3, 2020.
