Proposed Zoning:

OVERVIEW
Meeting Date: February 2, 2026

In October 2025 the Village Board unanimously approved directing staff to prepare a
rezoning application to change the above listed parcels from PB, Planned Business to
CB, Central Business. The proposed rezoning from PB, Planned Business to CB,
Central Business was approved by the Plan Commission at their January 2026 meeting.
Following that meeting staff was contacted by a property owner who had questions and
concerns. To allow for more time for input from property owners, the rezoning was not
placed on the January 20 Village Board agenda.
Staff sent a letter offering meetings during the week of January 26, and eventually spoke
with owners of three of the properties in the proposed rezoning area. The general
themes that came from those discussions were:
1. The property owners would like more input in what does, or doesn’t, happen to
the corner, and they would like the broader neighborhood to be included.
2. They would like more specificity regarding the vision for the area.
3. They questioned the timing of the rezone relative to the rest of the process.
The scope of the upcoming Comprehensive Plan update includes at least two public
design sessions and the drafting of potential urban design options for the corner area.
The plan update is expected to begin in late March, and the exercises for the corner
area would likely occur in the summer or fall of this year. This process would work
toward addressing the first two concerns.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Given the property owner feedback that occurred following the Plan Commission
meeting, staff recommends that the Board withdraw the application to rezone the
properties at this time. The Board could reconsider the zoning later this year after the
Comp Plan exercises for the area.
Note that delaying the rezoning does leave open the possibility that a parcel could
redevelop per the current PB zoning regulations. The alternative option is that the Board
could move forward with approving the rezoning.

VILLAGE ACTION REPORT
PROJECT: TID #9 Central Business Rezoning

APPLICANT: Village of Cottage Grove
PROJECT LOCATION: NE corner of N. Main St. and E. Cottage Grove Rd.
REPORT DATE: January 15, 2026
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Village Board directed staff to bring a potential zoning
amendment forward to the Plan Commission, specifically to rezone parcels #0711-0919180-9, #0711-091-9187-1, #0711-091-9201-3, #0711-091-9210-2, #0711-0919221-1, #0711-091-9230-8, #0711-091-9265-7, #0711-091-9275-5, and #0711-0919194-1 from PB, Planned Business to CB, Central Business. The parcels are identified for
potential future redevelopment as a downtown area.
PLAN COMMISSION MEETING: JANUARY 14, 2026
STAFF REPORT PROVIDED BY: _X_ Planner, ___ Engineer, ___ Public Works
MOTION: by Murphy (1st), Villavicencio (2nd)
The request for approval of the zoning amendment was APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS,
with the following conditions:
1. Amend zoning ordinance per the attached document related to off-site parking.
VOTE: _5 Aye, _0_ Nay, _1_ Abstain (Sale)
APPLICANT COMMENTS:
 Ruth explained the amendment would ensure any parcels that are not part of a future
Village redevelopment project would be redeveloped in a compatible manner.
PUBLIC HEARING COMMENTS:
 (Cal Steiner – 622 N. Main St.) – has lived in the Village for a long time and has seen
many changes; redevelopment in the area has potential to be very positive, or
negative; change should be carefully considered as this area is the ‘front door’ of the
Village. Ruth stated he agreed and explained this is very early in the process, and
there will be opportunities for public input as the site’s plans are developed further.
PLAN COMMISSION COMMENTS:
 (Jushchyshyn) – asked about the timing and process of redevelopment, and why the
rezoning needs to happen now. Ruth and Kelm-Nelson explained the next comp plan
will include additional design work on this site, which would provide the basis for a
future RFP. Meanwhile, the Village will continue to work toward acquiring additional



parcels in the area. Ruth added that the rezoning is requested now as a placeholder
to ensure all redevelopment in the area will be compatible with a downtown area.
(Sale) – asked what the zoning was on the Authentix site prior to development. Ruth
replied it was RH, Rural Holding because that land had never been developed.

STAFF COMMENTS:
See staff reports and as noted above.

Trustee Memo

Meeting Date: 10/20/2025
Memo Date:

10/14/2025

To:

Village Board

From:

Trustee Chris Stoa

Subject:

Rezoning of Parcels 071109191941, 071109192755, 071109192657,
071109192308, 071109192211, 071109192102, 071109192013,
071109191871, 071109191809 from Planned Business to Central
Business

Background/Overview
At the 10/6 meeting there was interest in rezoning parcels on the northeast corner of Highways
N and BB. This memo is just to follow up on that and allow the Village Board to direct staff to
begin the process of rezoning by sending it to Plan Commission for discussion and a public
hearing.
As the Village continues to plan for future development, we have to be more mindful of how we
are developing. Developments that are mostly parking lots with a setback commercial space are
uninviting, reduce the amount of space that can be used productively, and are, in my opinion,
unsightly. Instead, we should begin to focus more on developments that mirror the look of Olde
Town Center- mixed-use developments that nevertheless maintain a small-town feel. Such
buildings provide inviting, walkable commercial areas that contribute to a small-town feel that we
often hear from residents is desirable.
To do so, the first step is to rezone areas as central business, which is more forgiving in terms of
requirements for setbacks, lot coverage, and landscaping. This rezoning is consistent with the
comprehensive plan.
In addition, this could be a good chance to modify allowable uses for the central business
district. Currently Cottage Grove permits, by right, “off-site parking lot” in central business
zoning. I do not want to speak for any trustee other than myself, but I am skeptical that any
trustee would want to go through the time and work of redeveloping a downtown area just to
have a full lot be designated as a parking lot, which would be an unproductive use of space and

Trustee Memo
out of step with what we likely envision for a downtown area. Instead, I believe that we should
move that to a conditional use- so that we can allow it if it is proven to be necessary but not
outright letting anyone create that without further scrutiny.
Trustee Request/Recommendation
Begin the process of rezoning the named parcels from Planned Business to Central Business.
The process can take significant time, so it is important that we get the ball rolling as soon as
we can.

CB, Central Business

Meeting Date: January 14, 2026

OVERVIEW
At their October 20, 2025 meeting, the Village Board voted to direct staff to bring a
potential zoning amendment forward to the Plan Commission (see attached Village
Board memo from Trustee Chris Stoa). This involves rezoning the parcels listed above
from PB, Planned Business to CB, Central Business.
BACKGROUND
All of the parcels except #0711-091-9180-9 (616 N. Main Street) are located within Tax
Increment Finance (TIF) District #9. The parcels within the TID are identified for
redevelopment within the Comprehensive Plan. The plan indicates the redevelopment
should consist of mixed use, downtown-style buildings and associated public spaces.

Meeting Date: January 14, 2026

To facilitate that redevelopment, the Village has used TIF increment generated by the
Authentix project to purchase three of the parcels: #0711-091-9230-8 (101 E. Cottage
Grove Road), #0711-091-9187-1 (612 N. Main Street), and #0711-091-9194-1 (123 E.
Cottage Grove Road). The Village is seeking opportunities to purchase the remaining
parcels within the district. The ultimate goal is to assemble all of the parcels and issue
an RFP to developers.
In the event that any of the listed parcels cannot be purchased by the Village, the
Village would at least like to ensure that any private redevelopment will compliment a
future Village redevelopment project. Hence, the request from the Board to apply CB,
Central Business zoning to the parcels.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSISTENCY
The parcels are designated as Central Mixed Use in the Comprehensive Plan. CB,
Central Business zoning is consistent with the desired uses, which include mixed use
with ground floor storefronts, and public open space.
ZONING CONSISTENCY
The CB, Central Business district is regulated under 325-40(C). Per the ordinance, the
purpose of the CB district is to “permit both large and small scale downtown
commercial development at an intensity that provides significant incentives for infill
development, redevelopment, and the continued economic vitality of existing
development.”
The purpose reflects the intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
One of the uses permitted by right in the CB district is an ‘off-site parking lot.’ Staff
recommends amending the ordinance to differentiate between public and private offsite parking, and to make only public off-site parking permitted by right in the district.

The Village Board for the Village of Cottage Grove, Dane County Wisconsin, does hereby
ordain as follows:
SECTION I. – OFF-SITE PARKING
PART A. - BACKGROUND RATIONALE
The Village of Cottage Grove zoning ordinance currently does not differentiate between public
and private off-site parking. Staff feels a governmental agency such as the Village, County, or
State should have increased flexibility to create off-site parking to fill a public need and should
therefore have different regulations than private off-street parking.
PART B. –AMENDED TEXT
The following text shall be amended in 325-49(F)(1). New text is underlined and blue, deleted
text is struckthrough and red.
Current text:
(1) Off-site parking lot; description. Off-site parking lots are any areas used for the temporary

arterial street.
[2] Access and vehicular circulation shall be designed so as to discourage

local, county, state, or federal governmental agency used for the temporary parking of
vehicles that are fully registered, licensed, and operative. See also 325-75 for additional
parking regulations.

(a)

Regulations
[1] Access to an off-site parking lot shall only be permitted to a collector or

parking regulations.

Amended text:
[10] Public Ooff-site parking lot.
The following text shall be amended and added in 325-41(B)(2)(a) under GI, General Industrial.

Amended text:

Added text:
[13] Private off-street parking lot.
The following text shall be amended and added in 325-41(C)(2)(a) under HI, Heavy Industrial.

addresses a typo under [9].

[9] Off-site parking lot distribution center.
Amended text:
[9] Public Ooff-site parking lot distribution center.
Added text:
[14] Distribution Center.
[15] Private off-street parking lot.
The following text shall be added to 325-42(A)(2)(a) under Park and Open Space. New text is
underlined and blue.
[6] Public off-street parking lot.

Staff Memo
Meeting Date: 27 JAN 26
Memo Date:

21 JAN 26

To:

LEC Committee

From:

Chief Mark Garry

Subject:

Discuss and Consider Village Ordinance on Sexting

Background
Officer Lee, our School Resource Officer (SRO), has investigated several incidents over the past
year which involved juveniles and the inappropriate use of electronic media (i.e., phones,
computers, social media platforms, etc.) - sexting. During these investigations appropriate
corrective actions were taken within the current confines of the legal resources. In looking at
additional avenues to address such matters, the implementation of a Village ordinance to
address these types of incidents would be beneficial.
Overview
Currently when the Village of Cottage Grove Police Department investigates the above
referenced incidents the option for corrective actions is either counseling or referral to the
Juvenile Assistant District Attorney for review of criminal charges. Most of these incidents
don’t rise to the level for criminal charges, and counseling does not always change the
behavioral pattern.
Implementation of a Village ordinance specific to these types of offenses would allow for an
additional tool to positively affect change in behavior. An offender could be directed into the
Restorative Juvenile Justice system for corrective actions. This direction will allow for the
juveniles to receive positive corrective actions without a long-term punitive consequence.
The City of Monona has a similar ordinance already in place, and the Monona Grove School
District has found it beneficial and supports such an ordinance for the Village of Cottage Grove
to help deal with matters within the school district.
Recommendation
Staff has worked with the Village’s legal team and drafted an ordinance to address these
concerns. (See attached) Request that LEC review and recommend approval of ordinance as
written for consideration and adoption by the Village Board at the February 2nd regular
meeting.

images and related activities between minors represents a concern for the health,
