Neighborhood Plan
Below is the neighborhood plan for the Millers Bay Neighborhood approved by the Oshkosh Common Council.
What is Neighborhood Planning?
Neighborhood Planning is an opportunity for us as citizens to shape the neighborhood where we live and work. By contributing to a Neighborhood Plan, citizens take an active role in improving their community and quality of life. In the process, residents, businesses, property owners, city departments and community organizations work together to address land use, transportation, design standards and other identified issues.
A Plan should:
• Represent the views of all groups that make up our neighborhood
• Identify our neighborhood strengths & assets along with needs and concerns
• Establish goals and recommend specific actions to improve our neighborhood
What impact will the Plan have on our neighborhood?
• An adopted plan will describe clearly what our neighborhood wants accomplished
• Provide a framework for zoning and other land use decisions
• Give direction to the City regarding programs, services and capital improvements appropriate for us
• Offer residents and businesses a clear picture of the type of development that is desired for our neighborhood
• Provide guidelines for the design of new development so it will complement our existing neighborhood character
What are the steps for developing a Plan?
• Establish a neighborhood planning team
• Develop, conduct and analyze a survey
• Develop goals and objectives
• Hold a neighborhood Open House to learn about and comment on the plan
• Review/Revise the plan based on neighborhood input
• Review by City Staff and Planning Commission
• Submit to City Council for approval
