The Upcoming Waupaca County Planning and Zoning Public Hearing on the 2026 Proposed Chapter 34 Zoning Ordinances/Amendments is this Thursday, August 6th. It is a valuable opportunity for citizens and property owners throughout Waupaca County to voice their opinions on the 2026 proposed zoning ordinances/amendments prior to a Planning and Zoning Committee Advisory vote. If these proposed ordinances are approved as written or amended, they will be forwarded to the full County Board for a vote at their August 18th meeting.

A public hearing is a formal government proceeding designed to give citizens/property owners a meaningful opportunity to provide testimony and comment on actions that may be taken by the County Board Committee or the full County Board.

If you plan to attend, please be respectful to the Planning and Zoning Committee Members, the County Zoning staff, other Citizens present, as well as respectful for the process that was chosen and for any differing opinions expressed.

Why Your Voice Matters: Decisions being made the Waupaca County Board Committees or the full County Board were founded on the principle and promise of representative democracy. By virtue, these decisions are meant to reflect the rights, best interests, and values of all individuals who live in the county or own property in the county, not just a select few. Public hearings allow all citizens/property owners to share their concerns with elected officials. Your presence shows that you care about the issues that affect all of us living or owning property in Waupaca County. By attending, you can help influence and shape the decisions made that impact yourself and others and also help to protect our environment.

If You Plan to Make a Public Comment, generally you are allowed 3 minutes to state your name, address, and to state your concerns. Share why the issue matters to you and how it could affect your community.

Arrive early to sign the speaker sheet
Stick to your allotted time. The zoning staff often use a timer and when your 3 minutes are up, you will be alerted to stop speaking.
Direct your concerns to the proposed 2026 Zoning Ordinance NOT to other topics or individuals.
Address all comments to the committee members, Not others in attendance.
Do NOT interrupt other speakers or the committee/board members.
Be a good role model. While opinions may differ significantly and emotions can run high at these hearings, remember these meetings are being recorded and your statements and actions can be viewed by many others here in Waupaca County and elsewhere.
Maintain civil decorum at all times.

The agenda is very long, and the hearing on the 2026 Proposed Zoning Ordinances/Amendments is near the middle of the agenda.
