The zoning question
State licensure and local land-use regulation are different layers. On December 18, 2025, the Town approved zoning permit Z25-44 for a community living arrangement for up to eight disabled residents in the SE Suburban Estate district. The permit requires the applicant, before operation, to obtain and maintain all Wisconsin licenses required to operate a community living arrangement and provide proof of licensure to the Town. Concerned Families has asked the Town to evaluate whether the separately certified Chapter 75 treatment activities now in process change the land-use analysis.
Community living arrangement
The Town zoning framework addresses community living arrangements of eight or fewer residents. That is the land-use category associated with the proposed small CBRF.
Health Care Center
The Town separately defines health-care uses involving medical, nursing, rehabilitative or preventative care. Concerned Families has asked whether separately certified residential treatment changes the applicable land-use analysis.
Which rules apply to the whole operation?
That determination belongs to Town officials. Our request is that it be made using the complete proposed service model and explained under the Town's zoning code.
