About Reviewers
The following are involved in the review of this type of application.

The Village Board is the governing body of the Village of Mukwonago and is responsible for making decisions on local policies, budgets, and ordinances. The board also reviews certain types of development projects. The board consists of 7 members who are elected to two-year, overlapping terms.

The Plan Commission is a 7-member body established by the Village Board to review certain development projects and act on other matters. Depending on the type of the development proposal, the commission may be advisory to the Village Board or have the authority to make the final decision.

Planning staff provides technical support to the Village Board, Plan Commission, Historic Preservation Commission, Board of Zoning and Building Appeals, developers, neighbors, and other interested parties to facilitate the development review process.
