What is the General Plan?

The Cudahy General Plan is the umbrella document that allows the City to plan for future development. The General Plan’s intent is to provide the City’s goals for development and the built environment, establish land use ground rules, provide the basis for development approvals, and to provide the public the opportunity to participate in the City’s planning process. Every City document regulating the built environment, including the zoning code, general plan elements, goals and policies, has to be consistent with the General Plan, as do all development decisions by the City.

The City of Cudahy completed its last comprehensive update and received certification of its General Plan in 1992. The currently envisioned General Plan update is looking to the future of Cudahy and will set the direction of the City for the next generation. Updating the General Plan at this time will enable the City to build upon the work currently being completed as part of the City’s recently adopted Housing Element Update and the Safe Routes to School Plan and Program. The General Plan update will provide an incredible opportunity to set the City on a path that will provide an improved quality of life, economic development, and enhance Cudahy’s reputation as a great place to live and work. 


Ongoing public outreach strategies will include:
  • A General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC), which will have a clear charge to help develop strategies and solutions, and who will act as ambassadors to the community and engage their friends and neighbors in discussions about the General Plan and Development Code; and
  • A series of community workshops and study sessions with the Planning Commission and City Council focused on identifying issues and opportunities, defining a vision and framework, prioritizing strategies for solutions in the policy framework and reviewing draft policy documents; and
  • A survey of residents to identify key issues of concern of the Cudahy community; and
  • Public hearings to discuss the draft General Plan and Development Code at Planning Commission and City Council meetings; and
  • Multiple one-on-one and small group interviews with community stakeholders.
