______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Wisconsin Statute 60.62(3) requires that counties review and approve all amendments to town zoning
ordinance text and maps prior to the amendment taking effect. The Town of Troy, which has a town
zoning ordinance, has approved a map amendment that requires County Board approval.
In summary, the proposed rezoning of property is for 35.2 acres located in Section 31 in the Town of
Troy at the end of Indigo Trail - see location map. The zoning would change from the Exclusive
Agricultural District (AG) to the Agricultural Residential District (AG-RES).
The Community Development Department has reviewed the information provided by the Town of Troy
regarding the rezoning of the land and the process and procedures for town review and adoption and
recommends approval of the resolution to approve the rezoning in the Town of Troy. The rezoning
request is consistent with the Town of Troy Comprehensive Plan.
The Town Board approved the rezoning on April 20, 2023.
