Zone Tosa for All
Wauwatosa is filled with one-of-a-kind places—its parks, schools, neighborhoods, and business areas. But what makes our city truly unique are the people who live, work, and spend their time here. The future of our city rests on creating places for everyone—places for families and businesses to grow, young people to establish their roots, older adults to age in place, and disabled communities to thrive.
Project Goals
Zone Tosa for All is a planning project, led by the City of Wauwatosa and community partners, to make our zoning and land use decisions equitable, with the goal of:
- Supporting and encouraging local business growth
- Creating policies that allow for a range of housing options and ensure discrimination is not a barrier
- Ensuring all residents have equal access to housing, parks, and transportation
- Increasing accessibility for people with disabilities
- Creating a structure to review zoning and land use decisions through an equity framework
We recognize zoning regulations and land use policies have historically had and continue to have a disparate impact on marginalized communities. Our aim for this process is to set a new course for the future of Wauwatosa.
