TO: Chairperson Luther & Plan Commission
FROM: David Schofield, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Proposed Ordinance 2026-02, an Ordinance repealing and replacing Title 9,
Chapter 2 Residential Rental Properties
DATE: January 26, 2026 Plan Commission Meeting
Prior to 2017, the City inspected all Residential Rental Units on an annual basis. In 2017, Act
317 modified State Code to prohibit such inspections except in certain limited circumstances.
The City followed suit and modified City Code 9-2 to provide only Voluntary Inspections
(requested by owner) or Complaint-Based Inspections (requested by tenant).
The Ad Hoc Housing Committee has been investigating ways to improve residential rental unit
conditions. One method involves establishing a Neighborhood Stabilization and Enhancement
District and requiring Proactive Rental Inspections on a regular basis therein, which is allowed
by Act 317 as long as there is evidence of at least one of the following: blight, high rates of
building code complaints or violations, deteriorating property values, and/or increases in single
family home conversions.
The Ad Hoc Housing Committee recommended changes to City Code 9-2 Residential Rental
Properties. The major proposed changes include:
• Add Proactive Rental Inspections within designated Neighborhood Stabilization and
Enhancement Districts.
• Define Neighborhood Stabilization and Enhancement District #1.
• Add Rent Abatement if confirmed Habitability Violations are found during a Complaint-
Based or Proactive Rental Inspection and not corrected within 30 days.
• Add Retaliation Protections.
The Ad Hoc Committee proposed Neighborhood Stabilization and Enhancement District #1 in a
neighborhood southeast of the University of Wisconsin – Stout campus. A map of proposed
NSED #1, overlaid over the residential rental units, building code complaints and single-family
home conversions, is attached.
The Ad Hoc Housing Committee, with assistance from City Staff and Atty. Ludeman, prepared
Proposed Ordinance 2026-02 to affect these changes. On December 9, 2025, the Ad Hoc
Housing Committee recommended Proposed Ordinance 2026-02 to the City Council.

The City Council introduced and referred Proposed Ordinance 2026-02 to the Plan Commission
for a recommendation. Of particular import is the Plan Commission’s input regarding proposed
NSED #1.
Property owners within proposed NSED #1 were notified by letter of the proposal and informed
of both the January 26 Plan Commission Meeting and the February 2 City Council meeting,
which includes a public hearing.
The Plan Commission may act as follows:
• If the Plan Commission supports the proposed ordinance, the appropriate motion would
be Recommend Approval of Proposed Ordinance 2026-02, an Ordinance repealing and
replacing Title 9, Chapter 2 Residential Rental Properties (simple majority).
• If the Plan Commission does not support the proposed ordinance, the appropriate
motion would be Recommend Denial of Proposed Ordinance 2026-02, an Ordinance
repealing and replacing Title 9, Chapter 2 Residential Rental Properties (simple
majority).
• If the Plan Commission cannot come to an agreement as whether to recommend
approval or denial of the proposed ordinance, the appropriate motion would be Return
Proposed Ordinance 2026-02, an Ordinance repealing and replacing Title 9, Chapter 2
Residential Rental Properties to the City Council without a recommendation (simple
majority).
Attachments:
• Map of Residential Rental Inspection with proposed NSED #1

SUBJECT: Town of Menomonie Future Land Use Map
DATE: January 26, 2026 Plan Commission Meeting
The Town of Menomonie is currently working on their Comprehensive Plan and has asked for
the City of Menomonie’s input regarding their Future Land Use Map.
I have attached a markup that I prepared on December 18, 2025 with several suggested
modifications to comport with the Town/City Development Map. I have also attached a copy of
the Town/City Development Map.
The Plan Commission may act as follows:
• If the Plan Commission concurs with all of my December 18, 2025 suggestions, the
appropriate motion would be Support the Town of Menomonie’s Future Land Use Map,
with the modifications suggested by David Schofield on December 18, 2025 (simple
majority).
• If the Plan Commission concurs with most of my December 18, 2025 suggestions, the
appropriate motion would be Support the Town of Menomonie’s Future Land Use Map,
with the modifications suggested by David Schofield on December 18, 2025 except
__________, __________ and __________ (simple majority).
• If the Plan Commission concurs with the Town of Menomonie’s Future Land Use Map, as
presented, the appropriate motion would be Support the Town of Menomonie’s Future
Land Use Map, as presented (simple majority).
Attachments:
• Town of Menomonie Proposed Future Land Use Map with David Schofield’s December
18, 2025 suggested modifications.

This area was shown as "City
Future Development" on the
Town/City Development Map. As
such, I would respectfully request
consideration of showing this as
"High Density Residential".

proximity to USH 12, it seems that
commercial may be viable. As such, I

Density Residential".
