and town zoning maps for the towns of Baldwin, Cylon, Erin Prairie, Pleasant Valley, Rush River, Stanton and Somerset.
DATCP reviewed the maps and zoning district text and required these proposed amendments in order to meet state
compliance requirements. The amendments were developed, reviewed by St. Croix County Corporation Counsel and
submitted to DATCP for review. In December DATCP approved all the amendments and granted conditional certification
of St. Croix County's Farmland Preservation Zoning Ordinance through December 2024, contingent upon County Board
approval of the proposed amendments outlined above.
Copies of the proposed text and map amendments, correspondence with DATCP, planning documents, related maps and
appendices are available at the Community Development Department, Government Center, Hudson and the Agriculture
Service & Education Center, Baldwin. The documents may also be viewed or downloaded from the St. Croix County
