CITY OF PORT WASHINGTON 2020 – 2030 FUTURE LAND USE UPDATE

The City of Port Washington is updating its Future Land Use Map (Map), which was created in 2008. This Map will be a component of its Comprehensive Plan, and the City will use the Map as a "big picture" guide to inform land use and development decisions. The goal is that such decisions are based upon public input and generally agreed upon strategies, which, hopefully, reflect the city’s vision, build upon its strength’s, and diminish its weakness.

Next Steps and Anticipated Schedule

The tentative schedule for finishing and approving the Map and accompanying text document is:

May - June: Post on website the Draft Map and text for public input for at least 30 days.
June - July: Revise map and text as needed and post in Final Draft format for a second round of public review.
September 16: Plan Commission
November 2 : Public Hearing and Common Council Action

To review the Draft map and accompanying document and to provide public comment, visit the Future Land Use Plan webpage.

Pier Street Redevelopment

At its May, 2016 meeting, the Plan Commission reviewed plans for the redevelopment of the 300 block of E. Pier Street. Both plans received approval by the Commission. One plan presented by Engberg Anderson Architects is for a 44-unit, 4-story apartment building that would be constructed on the site of the former Victorï¿½s property and the municipal boat trailer parking lot. The project is valued at $5.8M. View the plans here. The other plan presented by Stephen Perry Smith Architects is a three level, 11-unit owner-occupied townhouse condominium project located only on the municipal boat trailer parking lot. This project is valued at $4.3M. View the plans here. The Common Council review both plans and decide on which project and developer to work with.
