Middleton's planning department oversees most of the City's development review processes, including land divisions and subdivision plats, rezonings, planned developments, conditional use and special use permits, site plan reviews, variance requests, annexations, and proposed amendments to the Zoning, Subdivision and Sign ordinances. The office is responsible for developing and updating the city's Comprehensive Plan and assisting in the preparation of other plans affecting Middleton. These plans and ordinances are the means through which the City of Middleton carries out its policies and regulations regarding land use and the physical development of the community.
The department has three planners (and periodically interns) who provide staff support to the Plan Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, Airport Commission, the Middleton/Westport Joint Zoning Committee, the Community Development Authority, and other applicable City boards/ committees/commissions. In addition, they work with the City Administrator and Tourism Director under the auspices of a Community Development Department, which monitors and assists with various economic development initiatives in the community.
For more information, contact Eileen Kelley Planning Director/Zoning Administrator, Mark Opitz Assistant Planning Director/Zoning Administrator, or Abby Attoun Associate Planner at (608) 821-8370.
