The City of Lake Geneva's Comprehensive Plan is a long-range roadmap focused on enhancing environmental quality and community character while managing future growth through infill and redevelopment. Key strategic pillars include preserving agricultural, natural, and cultural resources, with an emphasis on protecting Geneva Lake and establishing a Greenbelt Corridor. The plan also prioritizes thoughtful land use, efficient transportation networks, robust community facilities and utilities, diverse housing options, and sustainable economic development. It stresses intergovernmental cooperation and outlines implementation strategies to achieve its vision for a vibrant, sustainable community.

This comprehensive plan for the City of Lake Geneva provides general recommendations for future land use, categorizing areas for agricultural, various residential types (exurban, urban, two-family/townhouse, mixed), neighborhood mixed use, planned office, planned business, central business district, planned industrial, general industrial, institutional and community services, public park and recreation, planned mixed use, and planned neighborhood. It also identifies surface water parcels, environmental corridors, and private recreation facilities, guiding future development and land management within the city.
