2. 240402 A substitute ordinance adopting the Growing MKE Plan as the Housing and Neighborhoods Element of the Citywide Policy Plan as part of Milwaukee's Overall Comprehensive Plan, and directing implementation.
I am a resident of Milwaukee and strongly urge the passing of this proposal. This proposal will increase housing affordability, increase the quantity and types of housing in every part of the city, and it will increase the property tax base. The DCD has done a fantastic job of community outreach the past year. It has hosted many community meetings, office hours, and other forms of community engagement. This plan was also developed in partnership with many community organizations. The time to wait has passed. It is time Milwaukee to act boldly and adopt this plan so future young folks aren’t encumbered with the heavy weight of high rents and housing costs.
I am a resident of the Midtown community and I urge the CPC to delay this vote. A halt to this plan would allow time for more engagement and input with the underserved communities that may be most impacted by this vote.
This is modern day redlining and perpetuates the inequity in Milwaukee among race and socioeconomic status. This initiative is prioritizing out of state individuals over Milwaukee residents. Pause this initiative until you receive direct feedback about the harm you are doing to the community. Milwaukee deserves better!!!
I am writing in opposition to the approval of this draft plan due to the lack of community awareness of a plan that will impact them for decades to come. As Milwaukee embarks on the endeavor to create housing options in primarily the communities where there has been little to no investment and where vacant lots and vacant homes exist in very high numbers due to a lack of investment.
Those most impacted should have been included in this process.
They were not
We know this by the numbers presented for engagement of residents by the MKE Team . We ask that the approval on this plan is halted until community members most impacted can be engaged in an effort to illicit feed back on the proposed changes to our zoning laws.
“As a Milwaukee resident deeply invested in the future of our community, I strongly urge the CPC to consider delaying the vote on this plan to prioritize more community outreach and engagement. It is crucial that all voices, especially those from marginalized and underrepresented groups, have the opportunity to be heard and contribute to the decision-making process. By taking additional time to foster inclusive dialogue and understanding, we can ensure that the plan reflects the diverse needs and aspirations of our entire community. Thank you for your consideration

I live in the Midtown community and I heard about this plan from community organizers. I would like this plan to be put on hold until more engagement and input can be received from the communities that will be the most affected by this plan. I oppose the Grow MKE plan that depicts the city’s plan to increase the population of already underserved communities. I oppose allowing multi-units to be built in communities that do not have adequate grocery stores, community gathering spaces and that do not have sustainable employment opportunities. I oppose efforts that could impact the safety of people and property, increase traffic and increase the noise levels in these communities. I am against multi-unit housing that would have owners who will not have engagement with or investment in the impacted communities. I am against efforts that will increase property taxes making homeownership burdensome or out of reach for people in these communities.

I am opposing this because I am standing in the gap for those who are in prison and have not been notified of any plan concerning where they will come back to live too. All who live in the community even if they aren’t physically there should be notified.

While I think many of these initiatives may be positive, I am concerned that the city has not fully engaged with residents who will be most impacted by the plan. I hope the City will delay the vote on this plan and take the time to gather feedback authentically and fully reviewing community impact (both positive and negative) before moving forward.
