City of Oak Creek

Common Council Report

Meeting Date:  April 4, 2005

Item No.:         2

Recommendation:  That the Council adopt Ordinance No. 2342  that would repeal and recreate the definition of family, to create the definition of a functional family unit and a Chapter 980 Stats. Supervised release use under Section 17.1402 of the Municipal Code, to establish Chapter 980 supervised release uses and functional family units as conditional uses in all zoning districts.

Background:  An ordinance has been drafted by the City Attorney that will repeal and recreate the definition of “family” under Section 17.1402 of the zoning ordinance and create a definition of a “functional family unit.”  In addition, this ordinance will create a definition for “Chapter 980 Supervised Release” and will make functional family units and Chapter 980 supervised release uses a conditional use in all zoning districts.

The Plan Commission has reviewed this proposal, and has recommended approval of the changes.

Fiscal Impact:  None
