City of Oconto, Oconto County
The City of Oconto
developed a comprehensive plan for the purpose of guiding and
coordinating
future
development. The plan is long-range (20 years) and offers a broad view
of past,
present, and future factors that address a variety of issues such as: community change, growth, and preservation;
identification of values and issues; analysis of trends; and an
inventory
of
resources. This comprehensive plan also aids the
The City of Oconto's plan inventoried and analyzed physical setting, natural and cultural features, population figures, housing stock, economics, transportation facilities, community facilities and land use. Using these inventories and the plan’s approved vision statement, goals and objectives as well as cooperative efforts with neighboring jurisdictions, the city developed an overall preferred land use plan.
Recognizing that the comprehensive plan must reflect the people they serve, the City of Oconto encouraged citizen input at all stages of the planning process. Residents and property owners were highly encouraged to be active by attending planning meetings as their views had an impact on how the city looks in the future.
The city's
planning process began in December 2005. The
planning process was completed April 17, 2007 with the adoption of
the City Plan by the City Council.
