Composite Report Rezone no. 7200 <br /> Public Hearing 4/28/1998 Town of Oregon <br /> to be ready to grant Farmland Preservation Certification status to the Town <br /> of Oregon for the 1998 tax year. <br /> C. Even though DATCP had decided that correcting the first two categories <br /> of rezones was optional,the Town of Oregon proceeded with the rezoning <br /> of the parcels in those categories on a voluntary basis. The owners <br /> received a rezone survey sent by the Town with the option to rezone their <br /> parcel(s). Numerous meetings and public hearings were conducted at the <br /> town level and the parcels to be rezoned were assigned the district that the <br /> owners and the Town felt more adequately represented their current use. <br /> (Some owners of non-complying parcels have opted not to rezone at his <br /> time; if they wish to rezone later, they must do so as individuals.) The <br /> Town considers this to be its final "blanket rezone"effort. The Town and <br /> Zoning the Staff have carefully reviewed each rezone to make sure the <br /> assigned district is consistent with the County Zoning Ordinance and the <br /> Town Plan. <br /> III. CONCLUSION <br /> A. The"blanket rezone"is a positive step in reducing inconsistencies between <br /> the town plan maps and the county zoning maps. The Town of Oregon <br /> Planning Commission and Town Board are taking the appropriate actions <br /> to preserve the town's future tax credits and are following the <br /> recommendations received from DATCP and Dane County Zoning. <br /> B. Rezoning these parcels to the zoning district that better fits their present <br /> use does not substantially increase their potential for development. <br />
