WATERTOWN, WIS. (EXCERPTS FROM WDTIMES.COM) — The Watertown Plan Commission met recently to discuss its comprehensive zoning code rewrite. Associate Planner Sonja Kruesel of Vandewalle & Associates presented a comprehensive view and a new zoning map, explained its new mix of upzoning and downzoning.

Downzoning is the opposite, reducing permitted uses via the assigned district (for example, from commercial to residential).
