§ 125-92 Brown Deer Road overlay use, "C" residence district.

[Code 1967, § 22.068; Code 1997, § 106-196; Ord. No. 01-483, 8-1-2001]
(a) 
Intent. The regulations of the Brown Deer Road overlay district are intended to permit two-family unit townhouses in a certain portion of the "C" residential district to allow for greater flexibility, variety of use and design freedom than would be permitted by the standard application of the "C" district regulation providing for single-family detached dwellings. The overlay use is appropriate for tracts of land within the area of suitable size and appropriate location, and the increased flexibility, variety of use and design freedom would achieve optimum utilization of the site and produce a more aesthetically satisfying and desirable development than would result from the application of the basic "C" district controls, and in such a way do not adversely affect property values and character of the neighborhood.
(b) 
Overlay area. This section shall apply only to that portion of the "C" residential district situated on the south side of West Brown Deer Road commencing with and including the property legally described as lot 3, block 5, Fox Point Manors Subdivision, and west along the south side of Brown Deer Road to and including the property legally described as the north 280 feet of the East 136 feet of the west½ of the northeast¼ of Section 8, Township 8, Range 22 east.
(c) 
Permitted uses. In addition to the uses permitted by the underlying "C" residential district, two-family unit townhouses of appropriate quality and character shall be permitted. Single-family residences shall not be permitted on the same lot or parcel of land with townhouses constructed under this section.
(d) 
Application of regulations.
(1) 
The regulations herein set forth shall be made effective as an "overlay" of permitted townhouse residential use upon the basic "C" district.
(2) 
The uses and structures as permitted and regulated by the basic "C" zoning district shall continue to be subject to the regulations established for the district.
(3) 
Uses and structures in an overlay use shall not be subject to the specific requirements of the underlying basic "C" district, but shall be subject to the regulations hereinafter set forth governing such project.
(4) 
Normal standards relative to road design or other engineering matters may be modified in an overlay use consistent with good engineering practice.
(e) 
Procedure.
(1) 
Pre-petition conference. Prior to official submission of a petition for consideration of an overlay use project, the petitioner may and is urged to meet with the plan commission for a preliminary discussion as to the scope and nature of the proposed development.
(2) 
Petition. The petition shall be made to the village board by the owner, or his or her agent, of property proposed for such development, for the approval of a specific project plan under the provisions of these regulations. Such petition shall be accompanied by a fee of such amount as established by the village board from time to time by ordinance or resolution and the following information:
a. 
A statement describing the general character of the intended development along with such other information as would be pertinent to a determination as to the suitability and desirability of granting the proposed overlay use on the particular site.

(3) 
Referral to plan commission. Such petition may be rejected or referred by the village board of the plan commission for study and investigation. The plan commission shall thereafter make its recommendation to the village board as to the appropriateness and desirability of the proposed development plan, and any changes or additional conditions applicable to such plans which it may feel necessary or appropriate.
(4) 
Public hearing. Upon receipt of the plan commission's recommendation, the village board shall hold a public hearing on the proposal before granting such petition. Notice for such hearing shall include reference to the consideration of the specific proposed project development plans.
(f) 
Basis for approval. The plan commission in making its recommendations and the village board in making its determination shall give consideration and satisfy themselves as to the following:
(1) 
That the proposed development is consistent with the spirit and intent of this chapter, is compatible with the general character of the village, and would not be contrary to the general welfare and economic prosperity of the village or of the immediate neighborhood, but rather that the benefits from improved design of the resultant development justify the variation from the normal requirements of basic "C" zoning district through the approval of an overlay use.
(2) 
That the proponents of the proposed development have demonstrated that they intend to commence and complete construction within a reasonable period following the approval of the project, that the project appears economically sound, and that the proponents of the proposed development have the financial capacity to carry out the project as proposed.

The minimum building and attached garage sizes as established by this section shall supersede those specified at section 125-3 insofar as section 125-3 may conflict with this section. Each two-family dwelling shall require a minimum of 12,000 square feet of land area.
(12) 
If the total land area exceeds 24,000 square feet, a minimum of two buildings shall be required; and if the total land area exceeds 36,000 square feet, a minimum of three buildings shall be required.
(13) 
In the case of all proposed developments:
a. 
That such development will create an attractive residential environment of sustained desirability and economic stability, compatible with the character of the village and where the economic impact of the development, property values and service demands are substantially as beneficial to the community as that which could be anticipated under the basic zoning.
b. 
That the development will not substantially alter adversely the impact upon school or other municipal service requirements as anticipated under the basic zoning.
c. 
That the project will not create traffic beyond the capacity of the street system to serve it, and shall provide adequate off-street parking based upon the need generated by the development.
d. 
That the total average residential density of the overlay use based upon the specific design characteristics of the development proposed will be compatible with the previously stated intent;
e. 
That the plan would result in the preservation of open land in a manner which would enhance the total environmental setting and desirability of the development and compensate for any reduction in individual lot area requirements that is allowed.
f. 
That the common open area to be reserved shall be protected against building development by conveying to the village as part of the conditions for project approval an open space easement over such common open areas restricting them against any future building or use except as is consistent with that of providing natural or landscaped open space for the aesthetic and recreational satisfaction of the surrounding residences. Buildings or uses for noncommercial recreational or cultural purposes compatible with the open space objective may be permitted only where specifically authorized as part of the development plan or subsequently with the express approval of the village board following approval of building, site and operational plans by the plan commission and the architectural review committee.
(14) 
In the case of proposed residential condominium developments:
a. 
The care and maintenance of such common open space reservations shall be ensured by establishment of appropriate management organization for the project.
b. 
Ownership and tax liability of private common open space reservations shall be established in a manner acceptable to the village and made a part of the conditions of the plan approval.
(g) 
Determination. The village board may deny the petition, approve the petition as submitted, or approve the petition subject to additional conditions. Such approval shall constitute approval of the specific project development plan.
(1) 
The approval of an overlay use shall be based on and include as conditions thereto the building, site and operational plans for the development as approved, as well as all other commitments offered or required as regard to project value, character or other factors pertinent to an assurance that the proposed development will be carried out basically as presented in the plan as approved. Detailed construction and engineering need not necessarily be completed at the time the project is approved, but the approval of such preliminary plans are conditioned upon the subsequent submittal and approval of more specific and detailed plans as the development progresses.
(2) 
The developer shall enter into an appropriate contract with the village to guarantee the implementation of the development plan approval.
(3) 
Any subsequent change or addition to an approved plan shall first be submitted for approval to the plan commission, and if in the commission's opinion such change or addition is not substantial, it may recommend approval to the village board. If such change or addition is construed to be substantial, a public hearing may be held prior to affirmative action by the village board on such recommendation.
(4) 
Failure to comply with the conditions and regulations as herein established and as specifically made applicable to a specific project development shall be cause for termination of the approval for said project. At least 15 days' notice shall be given to the developer to appear before the plan commission and answer any such charge of noncompliance. If the plan commission finds the charges substantiated, they shall then submit to the village board recommendations as to specific steps to be taken to terminate the development as rapidly as possible if the situation is not satisfactorily adjusted within a specific period. Such a termination should be in a manner that will achieve the maximum degree of the intended development objectives consistent with environmental compatibility to the neighborhood and with the general welfare of the community.

§ 125-93 Planned residential development district regulations.

[Code 1967, § 22.07; Code 1997, § 106-197; Ord. No. 22-735, 7-21-2022]
(a) 
Definition. A planned residential development district is an alternative residential district which applies to any territory of over ten acres that is wholly owned by one person or legal entity. Such planned residential district gives no automatic right to landowners but only the right to apply in the manner provided below for discretionary approval by the village board of a planned residential development. The board may approve such a plan only if the proposed development and application conform to this section. The landowner may develop his or her land according to the regulations of the underlying residential district.
(b) 
Purpose and intent. The purpose of the planned residential development district is to encourage future development of large tracts of vacant land in a manner that will be more in the public interest than is likely to occur for development under the existing basic residence district regulations. Those basic regulations give an economic incentive to the owner to utilize all land, including natural growth of trees and other aesthetically attractive open spaces that might better be preserved in their present state. A planned residential development, because of its flexibility, is more likely to conserve land through the setting aside of open space areas as private or public parks, to create attractive recreational facilities, such as swimming pools and tennis courts, to lead to the installation of more and better utility services, such as communal water systems, and to save in maintenance and capital expenditures for roads, sewers and water mains on a per-homesite basis. All the advantages of planned development tend to encourage and enable the owner to prepare a more attractive development and thereby strengthen the tax base of the village and property values in the neighborhood surrounding the future development. The planned development, by requiring discretionary village approval, encourages the owner to exhibit a degree of quality in design and aesthetics not universally attainable under orthodox zoning regulations.
(c) 
Relationship to basic residential district. The regulations of the underlying residential district shall apply in any planned residential development that shall be approved by the village board except that the board may, in its approval of the proposed planned residential development, permit exceptions from those regulations in the following respects:
(1) 
Uses.
a. 
Permit the single-family dwelling and accessory uses permitted in the underlying existing residential zoning district plus such uses as a community swimming pool, recreational area and other similar uses designed as an accessory amenity to the planned development.
b. 
Such similar uses may include a clubhouse or other facility in which vending machines and other limited commercial uses might be operated primarily for the benefit of the residents and guests of the planned residential development.
c. 
Multiple dwelling units, including, but not limited to, apartments and townhouses, are prohibited.
(2) 
Density. Permit a density of dwelling units per acre which is compatible with that resulting from the typical development of the same area in accordance with the regulations of the underlying residential district, and more specifically measured as follows:
Underlying Basic Zoning District
Maximum Number of Dwelling Units per Gross Acre
"A" residence district
1
"B" residence district
2
"C" residence district
3
(3) 
Building location. Permit exceptions from the specific building location, size, height, yards, lot size and open space requirements of the underlying basic district; setbacks shall be maintained along any boundary street of the project area as required by the existing zoning district and no dwelling, outbuilding or ancillary structure of any type shall be permitted closer to a side or rear boundary lot line of the project area than allowed by the applicable side or rear yard requirement of the adjoining zoning district, and no recreational center, recreational facility, building or structure of any type that is not a dwelling, shall be permitted closer to a side or rear boundary lot line of the project area than the normal depth of a single residential dwelling lot that would be permitted under the adjoining zoning district.
(4) 
Height. Permit exception to the height limitation of the underlying residential district to the extent that the building is set back from the boundary of the project area a distance equal to its height.
(5) 
Street design. Permit variations in the village's existing requirements for road design and other engineering matters, including the use of measures to reduce the impact of stormwater runoff, to the extent that it is consistent with good engineering practice.
(d) 
Procedure.
(1) 
Petition. The owner who proposes village approval of a planned residential development shall submit a petition in triplicate to the village board, together with fees in such amounts as established by the village board from time to time by ordinance or resolution. The petition shall contain, but not be limited to, the following information:
a. 
Names and addresses of the owner, architect, planner, engineer, attorney and any other professional advisers who assisted in preparing the proposed development.
b. 
A legal description of the proposed project area, together with an accurate map showing its relationship to surrounding properties.
c. 
Names and addresses of all opposite and abutting property owners of record.
d. 
Maps and plans showing the proposed planned residential development plan, including the pattern of public and private roads, driveways, parking facilities, recreational facilities, private or public parks, and the size, arrangement and location of lots, the location of sewer and possible water facilities, and the existing topography and storm drainage system, showing basic topographic changes.
e. 
Statistical data on the total size of project area, area reserved for open space, density computation, and proposed number of residential units.
f. 
General outline of the manner by which any privately owned open space will be maintained and by which aesthetic and other similar controls will be enforced, together with the provision for services which may be supplied by a homeowners' association.
g. 
A general summary of the financial factors, such as total anticipated cost of the development of the project, the estimated selling price for individual lots, the estimated cost of landscaping, and other improvements.
(2) 
Referral to plan commission. The petition shall be referred to the plan commission for study, including an informal hearing if deemed necessary. The plan commission may request additional information related to determining whether the proposed plan is in accord with the requirements and spirit of this chapter. The plan commission shall make a recommendation to the village board, which may include recommendation for changes or additional conditions in the proposed plan.
(3) 
Public hearing. Upon the receipt of the plan commission's recommendation, the village board shall, before taking affirmative action to approve the proposed planned residential development, hold a public hearing on the proposal. Notice of such hearing shall include a reference to the specific proposed project's development plans. The public hearing shall be in compliance with state statutes then applicable.
(e) 
Basis for approval. The plan commission in making its recommendations and the village board in making its determination shall give consideration to and satisfy themselves on each of the following:
(1) 
That the proposed development complies with the requirements of subsections (c) and (d) of this section.
(2) 
That such development will create an attractive residential environment:
a. 
That is likely to remain attractive for some time in the future;
b. 
That is compatible with the character of the village; and
c. 
The economic impact of which in terms of income levels, property values, and service demands is substantially as beneficial to the community as that which could be anticipated under the existing zoning.
(3) 
That the project will not create traffic or parking demands substantially greater than that anticipated under the existing zoning.
(4) 
That the proponents of the proposed development have demonstrated that they will start construction within a specified period of time following the approval of the project, that the project appears economically sound, that the proponents of the proposed development have the financial capacity to carry out the project as proposed and furnish proof thereof to commence and complete construction within a time specified by the board of trustees from date of approval.
(5) 
That the plan would result in the preservation of open land in a manner that would enhance the total environmental setting and desirability of the development and compensate for any reduction in individual lot area requirements which are allowed.
(6) 
That adequate guarantee is provided for permanent preservation of the residual common open land area resulting from the application of these regulations by private reservation as an enhancement to the development.
(7) 
That the common open area to be reserved shall be protected against building development by conveying to the village as part of the conditions for project approval an open space easement over such common open areas, restricting them against any future building or use except as is consistent with that of providing natural or landscaped open space for the aesthetic and recreational satisfaction of the surrounding residences. Buildings or uses for noncommercial recreational or cultural purposes compatible with open space objective may be permitted only where specifically authorized as part of the development plan or subsequently with the express approval of the village board following recommendation of building, site, and operational plans by the plan commission.
(8) 
That the care and maintenance of such common open space reservations shall be ensured either by establishment of an appropriate management organization for the project or by agreement with the village for establishment of a special service district for the project area on the basis of which the municipality shall provide the necessary maintenance service and levy the cost thereof as a special assessment on the tax bills of properties within the project area. In any case the village shall have the right to carry out and levy an assessment for the cost of any maintenance which it feels necessary, if it is not otherwise taken care of to the satisfaction of the village. The manner of assuring maintenance and assessing such cost to individual properties shall be determined prior to the approval of the final project plans and shall be included in the conveyance of each property.
(9) 
That the ownership and tax liability of private common open space reservations shall be established in a manner acceptable to the village and made a part of the conditions of the plan approval.
The village board may require bonds and other sureties for all or any part of the development to ensure implementation of the completion of the project as approved.
(f) 
Determination. The village board after due consideration may deny the petition, approve the petition as submitted, or approve the petition subject to additional conditions. Such approval shall constitute approval of the specific project development plan.
(1) 
The developer shall enter into an appropriate contract with the village to guarantee the implementation of the development according to the terms of the conditions established as part of the development plan approval.
(2) 
Any subsequent change or addition to an approved plan shall first be submitted for approval to the plan commission, and if in the commission's opinion such change or addition is not substantial it may recommend approval to the village board. If such change or addition is construed to be substantial a public hearing shall be held prior to affirmative action by the village board on such recommendation.
(3) 
Failure to comply with the conditions and regulations as herein established and as specifically made applicable to a specific project development shall be cause for termination of the approval for said project. At least 15 days' notice shall be given to the developer to appear before the village board and answer any such charge of noncompliance. If the village board finds the charges substantiated they may recommend such termination of the project approval if the situation is not satisfactorily adjusted within a specified period.

Conditional use procedure.
(1) 
Purpose and applicability. The development and execution of this chapter is based upon the division of the village into zoning districts, within which districts the use of land and buildings, and bulk and location of buildings and structures in relation to the land, are mutually compatible and substantially uniform. However, there are certain uses which, because of their unique characteristics, cannot be properly classified as unrestricted permitted uses in any particular district or districts, without consideration, in each case, of the impact of those uses upon neighboring land or public facilities, and of the public need for the particular use at a particular location. Such uses, nevertheless, may be necessary or desirable to be allowed in a particular district provided that due consideration is given to their location, development, and operation. Such uses are classified as conditional uses and require a conditional use permit except as specified under subsection (14).
(2) 
Initiation of conditional use permit. Any person, firm, corporation, or organization having a freehold interest or a possessory interest entitled to exclusive possession, or a contractual interest that may become a freehold interest or an exclusive possessory interest, and that is specifically enforceable on the land for which a conditional use is sought, may file an application to use such land for one or more of the conditional uses in the zoning district in which such land is located.
(3) 
Application for conditional use permit. No application for a conditional use permit shall be placed on any agenda as an item to be acted upon unless the village manager or designee has certified acceptance of a complete application. Prior to publication of the required notice of public hearing, the applicant shall provide the village clerk with the complete application certified by the village manager or designee, including an easily reproducible electronic copy plus hard copies in a quantity directed by the village clerk. Said complete application shall be comprised of all of the following:
a. 
A completed conditional use permit application on a form furnished by the village manager or designee.
b. 
A scale map of the subject property showing all lands for which the conditional use permit is proposed, and all other lands within 300 feet of the boundaries of the subject property, together with the names and addresses of the owners of all lands on said map as the same appear on the current records of the register of deeds. All lot dimensions of the subject property, a graphic scale, and a north arrow shall be provided.
c. 
A written description of the proposed conditional use describing the type, duration, and density of activities, buildings, and structures proposed for the subject property and their general locations, plus such additional information as may be required for the particular land use under the Zoning Code.
d. 
A site plan of the subject property, with any alterations as may be proposed to accommodate the conditional use. Said site plan shall conform to any applicable requirements of the Zoning Code, and any additional requirements as may be specified for the particular land use under the Zoning Code. If the conditional use will make use of existing site improvements only, a site plan need only be of sufficient detail to confirm the portion of the site used by the conditional use.
e. 
Written justification for the proposed conditional use consisting of the reasons why the applicant believes the proposed conditional use is appropriate, particularly as evidenced by compliance with the approval criteria set forth in this section and all applicable requirements of this chapter.
f. 
Any other plans and information deemed necessary by the village manager or designee or the plan commission to ensure that the requirements of this chapter are or will be fulfilled.
g. 
Any required fee per the fee schedule approved by the village board.
(4) 
Review and recommendation.
a. 
The village manager or designee shall determine whether the application is complete and fulfills the requirements of this chapter. Only a complete application in the determination of the village manager or designee shall be entitled to a public hearing under subsection (4). the village manager or designee shall inform the applicant if the application is incomplete in his or her determination.
b. 
Once the village manager or designee determines that the application is complete, the village manager or designee shall authorize the public hearing and prepare a written evaluation of the application based on the criteria for evaluating conditional use permits in subsection (8) below. The village manager or designee shall forward a copy of the evaluation to the plan commission.
(5) 
Public hearing. The village clerk shall schedule a public hearing before the plan commission to be held within 30 days after acceptance of a complete application as determined by the village manager or designee. Notice of the time, place, and purpose of such hearing shall be given by publication as a Class 2 Notice in conformance with the requirements of Wis. Stats. § 62.23(7)(d) and (de). The village clerk shall also send said notice to the applicant, and owners of record of all lands within 100 feet of the boundaries of the subject property, at least five days prior to the date of such public hearing. Failure to mail said notice or failure to meet the time requirements herein, provided it is unintentional, shall not invalidate proceedings under this section.
(6) 
Review and recommendation by the plan commission. Within 15 days after the public hearing, or an extension of said period requested in writing or electronic format by the applicant and granted by the commission, the plan commission shall make final recommendation on the conditional use permit request. Prior to acting on a conditional use permit application, the plan commission may request further information or additional reports from the village manager or designee, the applicant, outside experts or any other source. The commission may recommend approval of the conditional use as originally proposed, approval of the proposed conditional use with conditions or modifications, or denial of the proposed conditional use and shall include reasons therefore. Any action on the proposed conditional use permit requires a majority vote of commission members in attendance.
(7) 
Decision by the village board. Within 45 days of the recommendation of the plan commission or within 60 days of the adjournment of the public hearing, whichever is longer, the village board shall, by resolution, make a final decision to grant, with or without conditions, or to deny each application for a conditional use permit after receiving and reviewing the plan commission's findings and recommendation and making its own findings as to whether or not the proposed use will satisfy the criteria for approval set forth in section (8). An appeal of a decision may be taken to the circuit court pursuant to Wis. Stats. § 62.23(7)(de)5 by any person, firm or corporation; any officer, department, board, commission or agency of the village, who is aggrieved by the decision. The village board's determination shall be final and subject to appeal to the federal or state court under any procedure authorized by statute.
(8) 
Review criteria for conditional use permit.
a. 
If the applicant meets, or agrees to meet, all of the applicable requirements specified in this chapter and conditions imposed by the village board, the village board shall under Wis. Stats. § 62.23(7)(de)2.a. grant the conditional use permit. The village may require written agreement from the applicant in a form prescribed by the village attorney.
b. 
Any decision to grant or deny the conditional use permit must be supported by substantial evidence, as that term is defined in Wis. Stats. § 62.23(7)(de)1.b. Any condition or modification must be related to the purpose of this chapter, reasonable, measurable to the extent practicable, and based on substantial evidence.
c. 
To the extent consistent with subsections a. and b., no conditional use permit shall be granted unless the village board finds that the use authorized thereby meets the following criteria:
1. 
The proposed conditional use is consistent with the comprehensive plan, this chapter, and all other plans, programs, and ordinances adopted by the village.
2. 
The proposed conditional use, in its proposed location and as depicted on the required site plan, will not result in a substantial or undue adverse impact on nearby property, the character of the neighborhood, environmental factors, traffic factors, parking, public improvements, public property or rights-of-way, or other matters affecting the public health, safety, or general welfare, either as they now exist or as they may in the future be developed as a result of the implementation of the provisions of this chapter, the comprehensive plan, or all other plans, programs, and ordinances adopted by the village.
3. 
The proposed conditional use will maintain the desired consistency of land uses, land use intensities, and land use impacts as related to the environs of the subject property.
4. 
The proposed conditional use is located in an area that will be adequately served by, and will not impose an undue burden on, any of the improvements, facilities, utilities, or services provided by public agencies serving the subject property.
5. 
The potential public benefits of the proposed conditional use outweigh potential adverse impacts of the proposed conditional use, after taking into consideration the applicant's proposal and any requirements recommended by the applicant to ameliorate such impacts.
(9) 
Issuance, notice, and recording of conditional use permit or denial. Within 30 days following the granting of a conditional use permit, the village manager or designee shall issue to the applicant the approved conditional use permit. Said permit shall enumerate the details of the conditional use permit, including an identifiable description of the use and subject property and any specific conditions or requirements of approval. The village manager or designee may record the conditional use permit against the property, assigning all costs thereof to the applicant, and shall make record of the conditional use permit on the official zoning map. In the case of a denial of a conditional use permit, the village manager or designee shall provide written notification to the applicant that the conditional use permit was denied, including the reasons for denial.
(10) 
Effect of denial. No conditional use permit application that has been denied (either wholly or in part) shall be resubmitted for a period of 12 months from the date of said order of denial, except on grounds of new evidence or proof of change of factors relative to the review criteria in subsection (8) that are found valid by the village manager or designee.
(11) 
Penalties, revocation, or modification of an approved conditional use permit.
a. 
Any violation of an approved conditional use permit shall be subject to section 1-13 as well as equitable relief in circuit court.
b. 
A conditional use permit shall be automatically revoked if:
1. 
All buildings and other improvements authorized by the conditional use permit have not been developed, and the conditional use has not commenced operation, within two years of final site plan approval, unless the commission has extended this period by request of the applicant, based on reasons beyond the reasonable control of the applicant.
2. 
Once initially made operational, the operation of the conditional use has been discontinued for a period exceeding one year. The burden of proof shall be with the conditional use permit holder or operator to conclusively demonstrate that the conditional use was operational during this period.
c. 
A conditional use permit may be revoked or modified by the plan commission, where the commission determines that the use, its operation, or associated improvements are not in compliance with (i) the terms of this chapter including one or more criteria in subsection (8) or (ii) the approved conditional use permit including any associated plan or approval condition. The commission may commence proceedings to consider revocation or modification, with such proceedings following the process in subsections (5) and (6). An appeal of any such decision shall be allowed per subsection (7).
(12) 
Duration and transfer. The village board may approve a conditional use permit with a limitation on the permit's start date, duration, or transfer if such limitations(s) relate to the purpose of this chapter and the conditional use permit review criteria in subsection (8). Unless the commission approved a conditional use permit with a transfer limitation, or Zoning Code prescribes a transfer limitation for the particular conditional use, all requirements of the approved conditional use permit shall be continued regardless of ownership or operation of the subject property or use and shall run with the land, except as otherwise limited by this chapter or by a specific condition attached to the conditional use permit.
(13) 
Amendments to approved conditional use. Any expansion of or amendment to a previously approved conditional use permit or grandfathered conditional use, including any change in an associated plan or approval condition found to be material by the village manager or designee, shall be processed in accordance with subsections (2) through (10), except where its initial approval allowed expansion or amendment by some other process.
(14) 
Expansion or modification of conditional use. Any substantial expansion or modification of any conditional use or any previously approved condition of such use, in the determination of the village manager or designee, shall require application and village consideration of a new or amended conditional use permit under this section.
(e) 
Building height limitations. A building in a "D-1" business district shall not exceed 35 feet in height including functional apparatus necessary for the operation of the building, including, but not limited to, air conditioning equipment and elevator shafts. Spires, towers and nonfunctional architectural embellishments may exceed the height limitation as set forth in this section.

(a) 
Intent. The regulations of this overlay district are intended to permit attached single-family and multiple-family dwellings in the "D" business district to allow for greater flexibility, variety of use and design freedom than would be permitted by the standard application of the basic "D" district regulations, in the case of tracts of land within the "D" district of suitable size and appropriate location, where the unified and overlay use of such tract and the increased flexibility, variety of use and design freedom would achieve optimum utilization of the site and produce a more aesthetically satisfying and desirable development than would result from the application of the basic "D" district controls, and in such a way to not adversely affect property values and character of the neighborhood.
(b) 
Permitted uses. Attached single-family and multiple-family dwellings of appropriate quality and character, including accessory uses.
(c) 
Application of regulations.
(1) 
The regulations set forth in this section shall be made effective as an "overlay" of permitted multiple-family residential use upon the basic "D" district to permit the overlay use pursuant to the provisions set forth in this section.
(2) 
Individual uses and structures as permitted and regulated by the basic "D" zoning district shall continue to be subject to the regulations as already established unless they are part of a proposed overlay use.
(3) 
Individual uses and structures in an overlay use shall not be subject to the specific requirements of the underlying basic "D" district but shall be subject to the regulations hereinafter set forth governing such project.
(4)

(3) 
Referral to plan commission. Such petition may be rejected or referred by the village board to the plan commission for study and investigation. The plan commission shall thereafter make its recommendation to the village board as to the appropriateness and desirability of the proposed development plans, and any changes or additional conditions applicable to such plans that it may feel necessary or appropriate.
(4) 
Public hearing. Upon receipt of the plan commission's recommendation, the village board shall, before granting such petition, hold a public hearing on the proposal. Notice for such hearing shall include reference to the consideration of the specific proposed project development plans.
(e) 
Basis for approval. The plan commission in making its recommendations, and the village board in making its determination shall give consideration and satisfy themselves to the following:
(1) 
That the proposed development is consistent with the spirit and intent of this article, is compatible with the general character of the village and would not be contrary to the general welfare and economic prosperity of the village or of the immediate neighborhood, but rather that the benefits from improved design of the resultant development justified the variation from the normal requirements of basic "D" zoning through the approval of an overlay use.
(2) 
That the proponents of the proposed development have demonstrated that they intend to commence and complete construction within a reasonable period following the approval of the project, that the project appears economically sound, that the proponents of the proposed development have the financial capacity to carry out the project as proposed.
(3) 
That the size, quality and architectural design of all buildings within the project will be compatible with the general character to the village and specifically to the surrounding neighborhood. Approval of individual building plans by the architectural review committee are not supplanted by this section.
(4) 
That the specific project plans have been prepared with competent professional advice and guidance.
(5) 
That setbacks shall be maintained along any boundary street of the project area as required by the basic zoning district.
(6) 
That no building shall be permitted closer to a side or rear boundary line of the project area than permitted by the applicable side or rear yard requirements of any adjoining zoning district abutting along a side or rear property line of the project.
(7) 
All buildings or structures including off-street surface parking shall not cover more than 40 percent of the land in the project development.
(8) 
Buildings or structures shall not exceed three stories in height.
(9) 
In the case of all proposed developments:
a. 
That such development will create an attractive residential environment of sustained desirability and economic stability, compatible with the character of the village and where the economic impact of the development, property values and service demands are substantially as beneficial to the community as that which could be anticipated under the basic zoning.
b. 
That the development will not substantially alter adversely the impact upon school or other municipal service requirements as anticipated under the basic zoning.
c. 
That the project will not create traffic beyond the capacity of the street system to serve it, and shall provide adequate off-street parking based upon the need generated by the development.
d. 
That the total average residential density of the overlay use based upon the specific design characteristics of the development proposed will be compatible with the previously stated intent.
e. 
That the plan would result in the preservation of open land in a manner which would enhance the total environmental setting and desirability of the development; and compensate for any reduction in individual lot area requirements that are allowed.
f. 
That adequate guarantee is provided for permanent preservation of the residual common open land area resulting from the application of these regulations by private reservation.
g. 
That the common open area to be reserved shall be protected against building development by conveying to the village as part of the conditions for project approval an open space easement over such common open areas restricting them against any future building or use except as is consistent with that of providing natural or landscaped open space for the aesthetic and recreational satisfaction of the surrounding residences. Buildings or uses for noncommercial recreational or cultural purposes compatible with the open space objective may be permitted only where specifically authorized as part of the development plan or subsequently with the express approval of the village board following approval of building, site and operational plans by the plan commission and the architectural review committee.
(10) 
In the case of proposed residential condominium developments:
a. 
The care and maintenance of such common open space reservations shall be ensured by establishment of appropriate management organization for the project.
b. 
Ownership and tax liability of private common open space reservations shall be established in a manner acceptable to the village and made a part of the conditions of the plan approval.
(f) 
Determination. The village board may deny the petition, approve the petition as submitted or approve the petition subject to additional conditions. Such approval shall constitute approval of the specific project development plan.
(1) 
The approval of an overlay use shall be based on and include as conditions thereto the building, site and operational plans for the development as approved, as well as all other commitments offered or required as regard to project value, character or other factors pertinent to an assurance the proposed development will be carried out basically as presented in the plan as approved. Detailed construction and engineering need not necessarily be completed at the time the project is approved, but the approval of such preliminary plans are conditioned upon the subsequent submittal and approval of more specific and detailed plans as the development progresses.
(2) 
The developer shall enter into an appropriate contract with the village to guarantee the implementation of the development plan approval.
(3) 
Any subsequent change or addition to an approved plan shall first be submitted for approval to the plan commission, and if in the commission's opinion such change or addition is not substantial it may recommend approval to the village board. If such change or addition is construed to be substantial, a public hearing may be held prior to affirmative action by the village board on such recommendation.
(4) 
Failure to comply with the conditions and regulations as herein established and as specifically made applicable to a specific project development shall be cause for termination of the approval of the project. At least 15 days' notice shall be given to the developer to appear before the plan commission and answer any such charge of noncompliance. If the plan commission finds the charges substantiated, they shall then submit to the village board recommendations as to specific steps to be taken to terminate the development as rapidly as possible if the situation is not satisfactorily adjusted within a specific period. Such a termination should be in a manner that will achieve the maximum degree of the intended development objectives consistent with environmental compatibility to the neighborhood and with the general welfare of the community.

(a) 
Intent. The regulations of this overlay district are intended to permit attached and detached single-family and multiple-family dwellings in the "F" office-research park district and to allow for greater flexibility, variety of use and design freedom than would be permitted by the standard application of the basic "F" district regulations, in the case of tracts of land within the "F" district of suitable size and appropriate location, where the unified and overlay use of such tract and the increased flexibility, variety of use and design freedom would achieve optimum utilization of the site and produce a more aesthetically satisfying and desirable development than would result from the application of the basic "F" district controls, and in such a way to not adversely affect property values and character of the neighborhood.
(b) 
Permitted uses. Multiple-family and attached and detached single-family dwellings of appropriate quality and character, including accessory uses on the northernmost 65 percent of the underlying "F" district are permitted, provided that the village board may permit the southerly line of the residential area, when approving a proposed project under this section, to be other than an east-west straight line. A use not permitted as a use by right in the basic "F" district shall not be permitted within 160 feet of the adjoining residence district.
(c) 
Application of regulations.
(1) 
The regulations set forth in this section shall be made effective as an overlay of permitted attached and detached single-family and multiple-family residential uses upon the basic "F" district to permit the overlay use pursuant to the provisions herein set forth.
(2) 
Individual uses and structures as permitted and regulated by the basic "F" zoning district shall continue to be subject to the regulations as already established unless they are part of a proposed overlay use, in which case such uses and structures shall be subject to the regulations hereinafter set forth governing overlay use.
(3) 
Individual uses and structures in an overlay use shall not be subject to the specific requirements of the underlying basic "F" district but shall be subject to the regulations hereinafter set forth governing such project.
(4) 
Normal standards relative to road design or other engineering matters may be modified in an overlay use consistent with good engineering practice.
(d) 
Procedure.
(1)

(3) 
Referral to plan commission. Such petition may be rejected or referred by the village board to the plan commission for study and investigation. The plan commission shall thereafter make its recommendation to the village board as to the appropriateness and desirability of the proposed development plans, and any changes or additional conditions applicable to such plans that it may feel necessary or appropriate.
(4) 
Public hearing. Upon receipt of the plan commission's recommendation, the village board shall, before granting such petition, hold a public hearing on the proposal. Notice for such hearing shall include reference to the specific proposed project development plans.
(e) 
Basis for approval. The plan commission in making its recommendations and the village board in making its determination shall give consideration and satisfy themselves to the following:
(1) 
That the proposed development is consistent with the spirit and intent of this chapter, is compatible with the general character of the village, and would not be contrary to the general welfare and economic prosperity of the village or of the immediate neighborhood, but rather that the benefits from improved design of the resultant development justifies the variation from the normal requirements of basic "F" zoning district through the approval of an overlay use.
(2) 
That the proponents of the proposed development have demonstrated that they intend to commence and complete construction within a reasonable period following the approval of the project, that the project appears economically sound, and that the proponents of the proposed development have the financial capacity to carry out the project as proposed.
(3) 
That the size, quality and architectural design of all buildings within the project will be compatible with the general character of the village and specifically to the surrounding neighborhood. Approval of individual building plans by the architectural review committee are not supplanted by this section.
(4) 
That the specific project plans have been prepared with competent professional advice and guidance.
(5) 
That setbacks shall be maintained along any boundary street of the project area as required by the basic zoning district, except that the setback along North Port Washington Road shall be 160 feet from the centerline of North Port Washington Road.
(6) 
That no building shall be permitted closer to a side or rear boundary line of the project area than permitted by the applicable side or rear yard requirements of any adjoining zoning district abutting along a side or rear property line of the project.
(7) 
All buildings or structures including off-street surface parking shall not cover more than 40 percent of the land in the project development.
(8) 
Buildings or structures shall not exceed:
a. 
A height of three stories.
b. 
A height of 35 feet.
(9) 
In the case of all proposed developments:
a. 
That such development will create an attractive residential environment of sustained desirability and economic stability, compatible with the character of the village and where the economic impact of the development, property values and service demands is substantially as beneficial to the community as that which could be anticipated under the basic zoning.
b. 
That the development will not substantially alter adversely the impact upon schools or other municipal service requirements as anticipated under the basic zoning.
c. 
That suitable recreational facilities are provided as part of the development plan in order to avoid overburdening existing and future village recreational facilities.
d. 
That the project will not create traffic beyond the capacity of the street system to serve it, and shall provide adequate off-street parking based upon the need generated by the development. In general, adequate off-street parking shall be considered to consist of at least two parking stalls per dwelling unit, at least one of which shall be fully enclosed.
e. 
That the total average residential density of the overlay use based upon the specific design characteristics of the development proposed will be compatible with the previously stated intent. Specifically, the allowable maximum density for a given development shall be computed by dividing the gross area of the proposed development exclusive of existing public right-of-way, by the appropriate density factor as follows:
1. 
Single-family detached dwellings: 10,000 square feet per dwelling.
2. 
Single-family attached or apartment dwellings as follows:
i. 
One-bedroom: 4,000 square feet per dwelling unit.
ii. 
Two-bedroom: 4,500 square feet per dwelling unit.
iii. 
Three-bedroom: 5,000 square feet per dwelling unit.
3. 
Where the proposed development area includes more than one dwelling type, the density computation shall be made on the basis of the proportionate ratio involved. An increase in the computed allowable maximum density not to exceed 20 percent may be permitted as an incentive reward where in the opinion of the plan commission the character and quality of the development and of the amenities provided justify the additional density allowance.
f. 
That the plan would result in the preservation of open land in a manner that would enhance the total environmental setting and desirability of the development and compensate for any reduction in individual lot area requirements which are allowed.
g. 
That adequate guarantee is provided for permanent preservation of the residual common open land area resulting from the application of these regulations by private reservation.
h. 
That the common open area to be reserved shall be protected against building development by conveying to the village as part of the conditions for project approval an open space easement over such common open areas restricting them against any future building or use except as is consistent with that of providing natural or landscaped open space for the aesthetic and recreational satisfaction of the surrounding residences. Buildings or uses for noncommercial recreational or cultural purposes compatible with the open space objective may be permitted only where specifically authorized as part of the development plan or subsequently with the express approval of the village board following approval of building, site and operational plans by the plan commission and the architectural review committee.
(10) 
In the case of proposed residential condominium developments:
a. 
The care and maintenance of such common open space reservations shall be ensured by establishment of appropriate management organization for the project.
b. 
Ownership and tax liability of private common open space reservations shall be established in a manner acceptable to the village and made a part of the condition of the plan approval.
(f) 
Determination. The village board may deny the petition, approve the petition as submitted or approve the petition subject to additional conditions. Such approval shall constitute approval of the specific project development plan.
(1) 
The approval of an overlay use shall be based on and include as conditions thereto the building, site and operational plans for the development as approved, as well as all other commitments offered or required as regard to project value, character or other factors pertinent to an assurance the proposed development will be carried out basically as presented in the plan as approved. Detailed construction and engineering plans need not necessarily be completed at the time the project is approved, but the approval of such preliminary plans is conditioned upon the subsequent submittal and approval of more specific and detailed plans as the development progresses.
(2) 
The developer shall enter into an appropriate contract with the village to guarantee the implementation of the development plan approval.
(3) 
Any subsequent change or addition to an approved plan shall first be submitted for approval to the plan commission, and if in the commission's opinion such change or addition is not substantial it may recommend approval to the village board. If such change or addition is construed to be substantial, a public hearing may be held prior to affirmative action by the village board on such recommendation.
(4) 
Failure to comply with the conditions and regulations as herein established and as specifically made applicable to a specific project development shall be cause for termination of the approval for said project. At least 15 days' notice shall be given to the developer to appear before the plan commission and answer any such charge of noncompliance. If the plan commission finds the charges substantiated, they shall then submit to the village board recommendations as to specific steps to be taken to terminate the development as rapidly as possible if the situation is not satisfactorily adjusted within a specific period. Such a termination should be in a manner that will achieve the maximum degree of the intended development objectives consistent with environmental compatibility to the neighborhood and with the general welfare of the community.

§ 125-102 Community-based residential facilities conditional use.

[Code 1997, § 106-206; Ord. No. 96-375, 7-11-1996; Ord. No. 00-444, 1-6-2000; Ord. No. 00-460, 8-17-2000; Ord. No. 01-483, 8-1-2001]
(a) 
Intent. The intent of this section is to permit community-based residential facilities (CBRF) for more than eight persons as defined in Wis. Stats. § 62.23(7)(i)2r.b, 4, and 5 in any zoning district where such housing would be permitted because of the provisions of Wis. Stats. § 62.23(7)(i) or the United States Fair Housing Act under circumstances where such state and federal laws would supersede the village zoning ordinances. It is the further intent of this section to permit a CBRF as may be required by state and federal laws subject to such restrictions as are set forth in this section. The procedural requirements of this section are comparable to the conditional use provisions of certain overlay zoning ordinances existing in this Code as well as the conditional use permit procedural requirements set forth in section 125-94(d) requiring certain conditional use permits in the business zoning districts. The CBRF conditional use is appropriate only for certain tracts of land within the village of suitable size and appropriate location in order to achieve appropriate utilization of the site in such a way as to not adversely affect property values and the character of the neighborhood and the village.
(b) 
Conditional use area. This section shall apply only to those areas of the village located in the "E" institutional zoning district, the "F" office research park zoning district and that portion of class "C" residential zoning districts located on the south side of Brown Deer Road and on the west side of North Port Washington Road south of West Laramie Lane, except when Wis. Stats. 66.23(7)(i) may otherwise provide the village with authority to approve or deny a CBRF in the Class "A" or "B" residential zoning districts, elsewhere in the Class "C" zoning district or in the Class "D" or "D-1" business zoning districts.
(c) 
Permitted uses. In addition to the uses permitted by the underlying zoning, a CBRF as defined at subsection (a) of this section at a maximum density of 12 dwelling units per acre shall be permitted. A dwelling unit is defined as housing accommodating no more than two persons. Single-family residences or other residential or commercial use shall not be permitted on the same lot or parcel of land with a CBRF constructed under this section.
(d) 
Application of regulations.
(1) 
The regulations herein set forth shall be applicable to a CBRF conditional use.
(2) 
The uses and structures permitted and regulated by the basic zoning district shall continue to be subject to the regulations established for said district.
(3) 
Uses and structures permitted as a conditional use shall not be subject to the requirements of the underlying zoning district, but shall be subject to the regulations herein set forth governing such project.
(4) 
Normal standards relative to design or other engineering matters may be modified in a conditional use consistent with good engineering practice.
(e) 
Procedure.

(16) 
That the proposed development would preserve open common areas sufficient to maintain an ambiance compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and the general character of the village. An open space easement over the open common area, proscribing future building or use inconsistent with that of landscaped open space for aesthetic and recreational purposes, shall be conveyed to the village as a condition of project approval. Buildings or uses for recreational or cultural purposes compatible with this objective may be permitted only where specifically authorized as part of the development plan or subsequently authorized by the village board following approval of building, site and operational plans by the plan commission and the architectural review committee.
(17)

If such change or addition is substantial, a public hearing may be held prior to action by the village board.
(4) 
Failure to comply with the provisions of this section or any conditions applicable to a specific proposed development shall be cause for revocation of the approval of the development. A developer shall be provided at least 15 days' notice to respond to a charge of noncompliance before the plan commission. If the plan commission finds the charges substantiated, it shall then submit to the village board recommendations for specific steps to be taken to revoke approval as rapidly as possible unless the noncompliance is satisfactorily resolved within a specific time period.
(5) 
The terms and conditions of a conditional use may be reviewed by the plan commission and village board every two years or at their discretion upon notice to the owner. Upon such review, additional terms and conditions may be imposed as are deemed necessary and appropriate by the plan commission and village board so as to protect and promote the health, safety, welfare in the area and intent of this section.

The village board may terminate the conditional use.
(6)

(a) 
Generally. In "D" business, "D-1" business and "E" institutional districts, off-street parking facilities for motor vehicles shall be provided in accordance with additional regulations set forth in this section.

Scope of regulations. The off-street parking and off-street loading provisions of this article shall apply as follows:
(1) 
Accessory off-street parking and off-street loading facilities shall be provided as required by the regulations of this section for all buildings and structures. However, where a building permit has been issued prior to February 24, 1966, and provided that construction is begun within six months thereafter and diligently prosecuted to completion, parking and loading facilities in the amounts required for the issuance of such building permit may be provided in lieu of any additional amounts required by this section.
(2) 
When the intensity of use of any building, structure or premises shall be increased through the addition of dwelling units, gross floor area, seating capacity, or other units of measurement, such additional parking and loading facilities as required herein shall be provided.
(3) 
Whenever the existing use of a building or structure shall be changed after February 24, 1966, to a new use, parking or loading facilities shall be provided as required for such new use. However, if the building or structure was erected prior to February 24, 1966, additional parking or loading facilities are mandatory only in the amount by which the requirements for the new use exceed those for the existing use.
(c) 
Existing parking facilities. Accessory off-street parking facilities in existence on February 24, 1966, and located on the same lot as the building or use served shall not thereafter be reduced below the requirements for a similar new building or use under the provisions of this section.
(d) 
Permissive parking and loading facilities. Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to prohibit the voluntary establishment of off-street parking and loading facilities to serve any existing use of land or buildings, provided that all regulations herein governing the location, design and operation of such facilities are observed.
(e) 
Damage or destruction. When any conforming or nonconforming building or use which is in existence on February 24, 1966, which is restored and continued in operation after being damaged or destroyed by fire, collapse, explosion or other cause, to the extent that the cost of restoration does not exceed 50 percent of the assessed value, there may be provided only the off-street parking or loading facilities equivalent to any maintained at the time of such damage or destruction. It shall be necessary to restore or maintain parking or loading facilities in excess of those required by this section for equivalent new uses or construction.
(f) 
Control of off-site parking facilities. In cases where parking facilities are permitted on land other than the lot on which the building or use served is located, such facilities shall be on a lot in the same possession of the title holder of record as the lot occupied by the building or use to which the parking facilities are accessory. A covenant running with the land must be recorded in the office of the register of deeds of the county on the lot upon which the accessory off-street parking is located which prohibits any other use on that lot, and a certified copy by the register of deeds of the county of the recorded covenant is deposited with the building inspector. The covenant shall not be released until such time as either one of the following conditions occur:
(1) 
The structure on the lot containing the principal use is removed and the principal use terminated; or
(2) 
Another lot of the required size within the required distance is properly developed and used for the required accessory off-street parking in place of and in lieu of the initial lot used for accessory off-street parking, with the same requirements, covenants and conditions attaching to such substitute accessory use lot as required for approval of such initial off-street park.
(g) 
Use. Off-street parking facilities required as accessory to uses listed herein shall be solely for the parking of automobiles of patrons, occupants or employees.

(h) 
Exemption. When the application of the off-street parking regulations specified hereinafter results in a requirement of not more than three spaces on a single lot in a business district, such parking spaces need not be provided. However, where two or more uses are located on a single lot, only one of these uses shall be eligible for the above exemption. This exemption shall not apply to dwelling units.
(i) 
Computation. When determination of the number of off-street parking spaces required by this section results in a requirement of a fractional space, any fraction of one-half or less may be disregarded while a fraction in excess of one-half shall be counted as one parking space.
(j) 
Collective provision. Off-street parking facilities for separate uses may be provided collectively if the total number of spaces so provided is not less than the sum of the separate requirement for each use and provided that all regulations governing location of accessory parking spaces, in relation to the use served are adhered to. Further, no parking spaces or portion thereof shall serve as a required space for more than one use unless otherwise authorized by the board of appeals.
(k) 
Area. A required off-street parking space shall have a width and length, exclusive of access drives or aisles, ramps, columns, or office or work areas of not less than 180 square feet. Enclosed parking spaces shall have a vertical clearance of at least seven feet.

§ 125-106 Planned unit commercial development district regulations.

[Code 1997, § 106-210; Ord. No. 02-495, 6-6-2002]
(a) 
Definition. A planned unit commercial development district is an alternative commercial district which applies to any territory of over two acres that is wholly owned or controlled (via agreement specifically addressing this section) by one person or legal entity. Such planned unit commercial district gives no automatic right to landowners but only the right to apply in the manner provided below for discretionary approval by the village board of a planned unit commercial development. The board may approve such a plan only if the proposed development and application conform to this section. The landowner may develop his land according to the regulations of the underlying commercial district as proposed by the property owner or person or entity controlling the property (via agreement specifically addressing this section) also known as the "developer."
(b) 
Purpose and intent. The purpose of the planned unit commercial development district is to encourage future development of large tracts of land in a manner that will be more in the public interest than is likely to occur for development under the existing basic zoning regulations. Those basic regulations give an economic incentive to the owner to utilize all land in a grid fashion when traffic, light and air, open space, noise, and neighborhood impact might be better served by a different approach. A planned unit commercial development, because of its flexibility, is more likely to conserve land through the setting aside of open space areas as private or public parks, to create attractive amenities, to control noise and traffic, to lead to the installation of more and better utility services, such as water systems, and to save in maintenance and capital expenditures for roads, sewers and water mains. All the advantages of planned development tend to encourage and enable the owner to prepare a more attractive development and thereby strengthen the tax base of the village and property values in the neighborhood surrounding the future development. The planned development, by requiring discretionary village approval, encourages the owner to exhibit a degree of quality in design and aesthetics not universally attainable under orthodox zoning regulations.
(c) 
Relationship to basic zoning district. The regulations of the underlying zoning district shall apply in any planned unit commercial development that shall be approved by the village board except that the board may, in its approval of the proposed planned unit commercial development, permit exceptions from those regulations in the following respects:
(1) 
Uses.
a. 
Permit the uses and accessory uses permitted in the underlying existing zoning district plus similar uses designed as an accessory amenity to the planned development.
b. 
Such similar uses may include joint facilities such as parking, conference centers, dining facilities and utilities or any such other use which provides value to the village as a whole or to more than one structure or property owner or operator.
(2) 
Floor area ratio. Permit a floor area ratio (FAR) which balances the economic viability of the project with aesthetics, noise, traffic, light and air, and neighborhood impact.
(3) 
Building location. Permit exceptions from the specific building location, size, height, yards, lot size and open space requirements of the underlying basic district; setbacks shall be maintained along any boundary street of the project area as required by the existing zoning district and no dwelling, outbuilding or ancillary structure of any type shall be permitted closer to a side or rear boundary lot line of the project area than allowed by the applicable side or rear yard requirement of the adjoining zoning district, and no building or structure of any type shall be permitted closer to a side or rear boundary lot line of the project area than the normal depth of a single lot that would be permitted under the adjoining zoning district.
(4) 
Height. Permit exception to the height limitation of the underlying commercial district to the extent that the building is set back from the boundary of the project area a distance of at least one-half of its height.
(5) 
Street design. Permit variations in the village's existing requirements for road design and other engineering matters to the extent that it is consistent with good engineering practice.
(d) 
Procedure.
(1) 
Petition. The owner who proposes village approval of a planned unit commercial development shall submit a petition in triplicate to the village board, together with fees in such amounts as established by the village board from time to time by ordinance or resolution. The petition shall contain, but not be limited to, the following information:
a. 
Names and addresses of the owner, architect, planner, engineer, attorney and any other professional advisers who assisted in preparing the proposed development.
b. 
A legal description of the proposed project area, together with an accurate map showing its relationship to surrounding properties.
c. 
Names and addresses of all opposite and abutting property owners of record.
d. 
Maps and plans showing the proposed planned unit commercial development plan, including the pattern of public and private roads, driveways, parking facilities, recreational facilities, private or public parks, and the size, arrangement and location of lots, the location of sewer and possible water facilities, and the existing topography and storm drainage system, showing basic topographic changes.
e. 
Statistical data on the total size of project area, area reserved for open space, density computation, and proposed number of commercial units.
f. 
General outline of the manner by which any privately owned open space will be maintained and by which aesthetic and other similar controls will be enforced, together with the provision for services which may be supplied by a property owner or association of property owners.
g. 
A general summary of the financial factors, such as total anticipated cost of the development of the project, the estimated selling price for individual properties, the estimated cost of landscaping, and other improvements.
(2) 
Referral to plan commission. The petition shall be referred to the plan commission for study, including an informal hearing if deemed necessary. The plan commission may request additional information related to determining whether the proposed plan is in accord with the requirements and spirit of this chapter. The plan commission shall make a recommendation to the village board, which may include recommendation for changes or additional conditions in the proposed plan.
(3) 
Public hearing. Upon the receipt of the plan commission's recommendation, the village board shall, before taking affirmative action to approve the proposed planned unit commercial development, hold a public hearing on the proposal. Notice of such hearing shall include a reference to the specific proposed project's development plans. The public hearing shall be in compliance with state statutes then applicable.
(e) 
Basis for approval.
(1) 
The plan commission in making its recommendations and the village board in making its determination shall give consideration to and satisfy themselves on each of the following:
a. 
That the proposed development complies with the requirements of subsections (c) and (d) of this section.
b. 
That such development will create an attractive commercial environment:
1. 
That is likely to remain attractive for some time in the future;
2. 
That is compatible with the character of the village; and
3. 
The economic impact of which in terms of commercial needs, income levels, property values, and service demands is substantially as or more beneficial to the community as that which could be anticipated under the existing zoning.
c. 
That the project will not create traffic or parking demands substantially greater than that anticipated under the existing zoning.
d. 
That the proponents of the proposed development have demonstrated that they will start construction within a specified period of time following the approval of the project, that the project appears economically sound, that the proponents of the proposed development have the financial capacity to carry out the project as proposed and furnish proof thereof to commence and complete construction within a time specified by the board of trustees from date of approval.
e. 
That the plan would result in the preservation of open land in a manner that would enhance the total environmental setting and desirability of the development and compensate for any reduction in individual lot area requirements which are allowed.
f. 
That adequate guarantee is provided for permanent preservation of the residual common open land area resulting from the application of these regulations by private reservation as an enhancement to the development.
g. 
That the common open area to be reserved shall be protected against building development by conveying to the village as part of the conditions for project approval an open space easement over such common open areas, restricting them against any future building or use except as is consistent with that of providing natural or landscaped open space for the aesthetic utilization and recreational satisfaction of the surrounding residences. Buildings or uses for noncommercial recreational or cultural purposes compatible with open space objective may be permitted only where specifically authorized as part of the development plan or subsequently with the express approval of the village board following recommendation of building, site, and operational plans by the plan commission.
h. 
That the care and maintenance of such common open space reservations shall be ensured either by establishment of an appropriate management organization for the project or by agreement with the village for establishment of a special service district for the project area on the basis of which the municipality shall provide the necessary maintenance service and levy the cost thereof as a special assessment on the tax bills of properties within the project area. In any case the village shall have the right to carry out and levy an assessment for the cost of any maintenance which it feels necessary, if it is not otherwise taken care of to the satisfaction of the village. The manner of assuring maintenance and assessing such cost to individual properties shall be determined prior to the approval of the final project plans and shall be included in the conveyance of each property.
i. 
That the ownership and tax liability of private common open space reservations shall be established in a manner acceptable to the village and made a part of the conditions of the plan approval.
(2) 
The village board may require bonds and other sureties for all or any part of the development to ensure implementation of the completion of the project as approved.
(f) 
Determination. The village board after due consideration may deny the petition, approve the petition as submitted, or approve the petition subject to additional conditions in their sole and unrestricted discretion. Such approval shall constitute approval of the specific project development plan.
(1) 
The developer or property owner shall enter into an appropriate contract with the village to guarantee the implementation of the development according to the terms of the conditions established as part of the development plan approval.
(2) 
Any subsequent change or addition to an approved plan shall first be submitted for approval to the plan commission, and if in the commission's opinion such change or addition is not substantial it may recommend approval to the village board. If such change or addition is construed to be substantial a public hearing shall be held prior to affirmative action by the village board on such recommendation.
(3) 
Failure to comply with the conditions and regulations as herein established and as specifically made applicable to a specific project development shall be cause for termination of the approval for said project whether in development or construction or as-built and in use. Such termination shall result in immediate termination of the planned unit commercial development district. At least 15 days' notice shall be given to the developer to appear before the village board and answer any such charge of noncompliance. If the village board finds the charges substantiated they may recommend such termination of the project approval if the situation is not satisfactorily adjusted within a specified period.

b. 
Fee. Any application under this subsection (c) shall be accompanied by a fee of $3,000.00 or such other amount set from time to time by the village board to defray the cost of notification and holding of public hearing and costs incurred by the village in obtaining legal, planning, engineering and other technical and professional advice in connection with the review and implementation of the conditional use. Such fee shall not exceed the limits established by Wis. Stats. § 66.0404(4)(d).
c. 
Requirements.
1. 
Conditional use status shall not be granted to any new support structure or substantial modification of a support structure unless the applicant provides certification from a licensed engineer that the structure is located so that there is sufficient land owned or controlled by the applicant around the structure so that in the event of its collapse the distance in all directions equal to its height shall be comprised of property owned or controlled by the applicant. Conditional use status may, however, be granted if an applicant provides the village with certification from a licensed engineer that the structure is designed to collapse within a smaller area than the distance in all directions equal to its height but still within an area comprised of property owned or controlled by the applicant, unless the village provides the applicant substantial evidence that the engineering certification is flawed.

e. 
Changes or additions. Subsequent changes or additions to the approved plans or use shall first be submitted for approval to the plan commission and, if, in the opinion of the village manager in his review of the revisions requested, such change or addition constitutes a substantial modification, a public hearing before the plan commission shall be required and notice thereof be given pursuant to this section.
f. 
Conditions. Conditions such as landscaping, architectural design, type of construction, floodproofing, anchoring of structures, construction commencement and completion dates, sureties, lighting, fencing, planting screens, operational control, hours of operation, improved traffic circulation, deed restrictions, highway access restrictions, increased yard, or parking requirements, among other issues as deemed appropriate may be required by the plan commission upon its finding that these are necessary to fulfill the purpose and intent of this section, subject to the limitations of Wis. Stats. § 66.0404(4).
g. 
Reconsideration. Applicants may, within ten days of a plan commission decision on a conditional use under this subsection (c), request reconsideration by the village board which reconsideration will be considered as an agenda item on the next scheduled village board meeting, at which meeting the village board may uphold, reverse, or amend the plan commission's decision.
(d) 
Non-substantial modifications (Class 2 collocation).

Fee. Any application for a Class 2 collocation shall be accompanied by a fee of the lesser of the applicable building permit fee or $500.00 (or such other amount as set from time to time by the village board to defray the cost of review). costs incurred by the village in obtaining legal, planning, engineering and other technical and professional advice in connection with the review and implementation of the modifications may be charged to the petitioner. Such costs and fees shall not exceed the limitations established by Wis. Stats. § 66.0404(4)(d).
(4) 
Determination. The village manager shall make a decision on the application within a reasonable time after receipt of the completed application, and not later than 45 days after receipt of the completed application unless the time is extended by the petitioner.

§ 125-109 Planned unit development district number one.

[Ord. No. 21-726, 9-29-2021]
(a) 
In general.
(1) 
This planned unit development district number one ("PUDD 1") shall be constructed, operated and maintained as a mixed-use development and shall be in conformance with the public improvement agreement (site development) and the public improvement agreement (building development) (together, the "improvement agreements"), which, when executed shall be substantially in the forms attached to the ordinance from this this section is derived as Exhibit A, subject to reasonably appropriate modifications as determined by the final master site plan for the development, and all applicable terms and provisions of the Municipal Code not enumerated herein and not contrary to the terms or provisions of this section, including, but not limited to, such permits as are required under the Municipal Code for building permits, stormwater and erosion control. Conceptual development plans, and detailed site, landscaping and architectural plans (in addition to any plan commission, community development authority or architectural review committee approval pursuant to statute, regulation, or ordinance) shall receive separate approval of the plan commission.
The plans contained in the improvement agreements must be of sufficient detail as to satisfy architectural review committee, the plan commission and the board of trustees as to the character, scope, and appearance of the district. All development within the district is subject to and conditioned upon the submittal and approval by the architectural review committee of more specific and detailed plans as each stage of development progresses.
(2) 
Intent. The regulations of this PUDD 1 are intended to allow for greater flexibility, variety of use and design freedom than would be permitted by the standard application of the basic "D" and "F" district regulations in the case of tracts of land within the "D" and "F" districts of suitable size and appropriate location, where the unified and overlay use of such tract and the increased flexibility, variety of use and design freedom would achieve optimum utilization of the site and produce a more aesthetically satisfying and desirable development than would result from the application of the basic "D" and "F" district controls, and in such a way to not adversely affect property values and character of the neighborhood.
In keeping with the general intent of planned unit development districts, the PUDD 1 shall facilitate the development of a high-quality professional services, health/fitness, general commercial, retail, restaurant, medical office, multi-family housing, civic/recreational/public library, hospitality and office mixed-use area and:
a. 
All development within PUDD 1 shall comply with all requirements of the Municipal Code except as otherwise specifically set forth in this section and the improvement agreements.
b. 
Accommodate the clustering of buildings on parcels of land under individual or multiple ownership.
c. 
Provide for an arrangement of professional services, health/fitness, general commercial, retail, restaurant, medical office, multi-family housing, civic/recreational/public library, hospitality and office uses that are compatible in function, form and operation.
d. 
Apply high-quality, aesthetically pleasing architectural and site design whenever new principal and/or accessory structures are constructed.
e. 
Wherever practicable, provide a safe, interconnected and pedestrian-friendly network of public streets, private roads, sidewalks and trails throughout the District, and through this network, with the surrounding community.
f. 
Provide sufficient off-street parking for all uses and properties which allows and encourages shared parking arrangements through the use of easements and other similar agreements in compliance with the standards set forth in the Municipal Code.
g. 
Be served by adequate sanitary sewer and water supply facilities which connect to public sewer and water facilities.
h. 
A permitted use lawfully existing and established with an existing principal building within the area of this PUDD 1 prior to, and upon the effective date of, this section shall remain as such permitted use; provided, however, that any future addition, expansion and/or enlargement to the use and/or amendment to any site plan for the use, may be permitted and/or granted only upon the consideration of all applicable standards for the review and approval of such permits and site plans, and the PUDD 1 intent and standards in this section.
i. 
A conditional use lawfully existing and established within the area of this PUDD 1 prior to and upon the effective date of this section shall remain as such conditional use; provided, however, that any future amendment to the conditional use permit, may be granted only upon the consideration of all applicable standards for the review and approval of conditional uses, and the intent and standards referenced in this section.
(b) 
Prohibited uses. In PUDD 1, no building or premises shall be used nor shall any building or other structure be erected, altered or enlarged which is arranged, intended or designed to be used for any purpose, except as provided in this section, all other uses being hereby prohibited.
(c) 
Application of regulations.
(1) 
Road design or other engineering standards may be modified in an overlay use consistent with good engineering practice.
(d) 
Permitted uses.
(1) 
To the extent such individual uses and structures are part of a planned development use, permitted uses within planned unit development district number one shall be as shown below1:
Permitted Uses
Limitations
General commercial retail/fitness (exclusive of firearms sales)
Up to 120,000 sq. ft., up to 40,000 sq. ft. per floor, up to two stories in height
Professional services/general office
Up to 300,000 sq. ft., up to 50,000 sq. ft. per floor, up to five stories in height
Medical office/general medical uses
Up to 300,000 sq. ft., up to 50,000 sq. ft. per floor, up to five stories in height
Parks/public recreation
 
Full-service restaurants
Up to 30,000 sq. ft., up to 10,000 sq. ft. per floor, up to two stories in height

Civic/public library
Up to 60,000 sq. ft., up to 30,000 sq. ft. per floor, up to three stories in height
Parking at or below grade
 
Notes:
1
The square footage and building height parameters set forth herein represent maximum sizes/units, floor areas and heights for each category of use. As a practical matter, due to parcel size constraints, parking requirements and height limitations, the ultimate development within PUDD 1 would not accommodate the maximum limits of all uses, but would represent a balanced combination of several of such uses based on prudent planning and market demands.
 
In addition, because PUDD 1 is intended to encourage and function as a mixed use development, any of the Permitted Uses referenced herein may be combined, provided that the maximum number of floors for such combined uses shall not exceed the number of floors permitted for the use that allows the greatest number of floors. For example, a mixed-use building comprising first-floor civic or retail uses could include up to four floors of multi-family residential housing above the first floor, with the maximum combined number of floors not to exceed five.
2
Residential uses shall be primarily market rate housing.
3
Senior residential housing may include ancillary independent senior living housing, assisted living or similar types of uses.
4
Any use within 300 feet of the centerline of North Port Washington Road shall be limited in height to four stories above grade.
(e)

(f) 
Conditional use procedure.
(1) 
The conditional uses set forth in subsection (d)(1) of this section may conditionally permitted when specifically approved by the village board after referral to and review by the village plan commission pursuant to the procedures set forth in this subsection (f)(2) of this section:
(2) 
Purpose and applicability. The development and execution of this chapter is based upon the division of the village into zoning districts, within which districts the use of land and buildings, and bulk and location of buildings and structures in relation to the land, are mutually compatible and substantially uniform. However, there are certain uses which, because of their unique characteristics, cannot be properly classified as unrestricted permitted uses in any particular district or districts, without consideration, in each case, of the impact of those uses upon neighboring land or public facilities, and of the public need for the particular use at a particular location. Such uses, nevertheless, may be necessary or desirable to be allowed in a particular district provided that due consideration is given to their location, development, and operation. Such uses are classified as conditional uses and require a conditional use permit except as specified under subsection (15).
(3) 
Initiation of conditional use permit. Any person, firm, corporation, or organization having a freehold interest or a possessory interest entitled to exclusive possession, or a contractual interest that may become a freehold interest or an exclusive possessory interest, and that is specifically enforceable on the land for which a conditional use is sought, may file an application to use such land for one or more of the conditional uses in PUDD 1.
(4) 
Application for conditional use permit. No application for a conditional use permit shall be placed on any agenda as an item to be acted upon unless the village manager or designee has certified acceptance of a complete application. Prior to publication of the required notice of public hearing, the applicant shall provide the village clerk with the complete application certified by the village manager or designee, including an easily reproducible electronic copy plus hard copies in a quantity directed by the village clerk. Said complete application shall be comprised of all of the following:
a. 
A completed conditional use permit application on a form furnished by the village manager or designee.
b. 
A scale map of the subject property showing all lands for which the conditional use permit is proposed, and all other lands within 300 feet of the boundaries of the subject property, together with the names and addresses of the owners of all lands on said map as the same appear on the current records of the register of deeds. All lot dimensions of the subject property, a graphic scale, and a north arrow shall be provided.
c. 
A written description of the proposed conditional use describing the type, duration, and density of activities, buildings, and structures proposed for the subject property and their general locations, plus such additional information as may be required for the particular land use under the Municipal Code.
d. 
A site plan of the subject property, with any alterations as may be proposed to accommodate the conditional use. Said site plan shall conform to any applicable requirements of the Municipal Code, and any additional requirements as may be specified for the particular land use under the Municipal Code. If the conditional use will make use of existing site improvements only, a site plan need only be of sufficient detail to confirm the portion of the site used by the conditional use.
e. 
Written justification for the proposed conditional use consisting of the reasons why the applicant believes the proposed conditional use is appropriate, particularly as evidenced by compliance with the approval criteria set forth in this section and all applicable requirements of this chapter.
f. 
Any other plans and information deemed necessary by the village manager or designee or the plan commission to ensure that the requirements of this chapter are or will be fulfilled.
g. 
Any required fee per the fee schedule approved by the village board.
(5) 
Review and recommendation.
a. 
The village manager or designee shall determine whether the application is complete and fulfills the requirements of this chapter. Only a complete application in the determination of the village manager or designee shall be entitled to a public hearing under subsection (6) the village manager or designee shall inform the applicant if the application is incomplete in his or her determination.
b. 
Once the village manager or designee determines that the application is complete, the village manager or designee shall authorize the public hearing and prepare a written evaluation of the application based on the criteria for evaluating conditional use permits in subsection (9) below. The village manager or designee shall forward a copy of the evaluation to the village plan commission.
(6) 
Public hearing. The village clerk shall schedule a public hearing before the plan commission to be held within 30 days after acceptance of a complete application as determined by the village manager or designee. Notice of the time, place, and purpose of such hearing shall be given by publication as a Class 2 Notice in conformance with the requirements of Wis. Stats. § 62.23(7)(d) and (de). The village clerk shall also send said notice to the applicant, and owners of record of all lands within 100 feet of the boundaries of the subject property, at least five days prior to the date of such public hearing. Failure to mail said notice or failure to meet the time requirements herein, provided it is unintentional, shall not invalidate proceedings under this section.
(7) 
Review and recommendation by the plan commission. Within 15 days after the public hearing, or an extension of said period requested in writing or electronic format by the applicant and granted by the plan commission, the plan commission shall make final recommendation on the conditional use permit request. Prior to acting on a conditional use permit application, the plan commission may request further information or additional reports from the village manager or designee, the applicant, outside experts or any other source. The commission may recommend approval of the conditional use as originally proposed, approval of the proposed conditional use with conditions or modifications, or denial of the proposed conditional use and shall include reasons therefore. Any action on the proposed conditional use permit requires a majority vote of commission members in attendance.
(8) 
Decision by the village board. Within 45 days of the recommendation of the village plan commission or within 60 days of the adjournment of the public hearing, whichever is longer, the village board shall, by resolution, make a final decision to grant, with or without conditions, or to deny each application for a conditional use permit after receiving and reviewing the plan commission's findings and recommendation and making its own findings as to whether or not the proposed use will satisfy the criteria for approval set forth in subsection (9). An appeal of a decision may be taken to the circuit court pursuant to Wis. Stats. § 62.23(7)(de)5 by any person, firm or corporation; any officer, department, board, commission or agency of the village, who is aggrieved by the decision. The village board's determination shall be final and subject to appeal to the federal or state court under any procedure authorized by statute.
(9) 
Review criteria for conditional use permit.
a. 
If the applicant meets, or agrees to meet, all of the applicable requirements specified in this chapter and conditions imposed by the village board, the village board shall under Wis. Stats. § 62.23(7)(de)2.a grant the conditional use permit. The village may require written agreement from the applicant in a form prescribed by the village attorney.
b. 
Any decision to grant or deny the conditional use permit must be supported by substantial evidence, as that term is defined in Wis. Stats. § 62.23(7)(de)1.b. Any condition or modification must be related to the purpose of this chapter, reasonable, measurable to the extent practicable, and based on substantial evidence.
c. 
To the extent consistent with sub-subsections a. and b., no conditional use permit shall be granted unless the village board finds that the use authorized thereby meets the following criteria:
1. 
The proposed conditional use is consistent with the comprehensive plan, this chapter, and all other plans, programs, and ordinances adopted by the village.
2. 
The proposed conditional use, in its proposed location and as depicted on the required site plan, will not result in a substantial or undue adverse impact on nearby property, the character of the neighborhood, environmental factors, traffic factors, parking, public improvements, public property or rights-of-way, or other matters affecting the public health, safety, or general welfare, either as they now exist or as they may in the future be developed as a result of the implementation of the provisions of this chapter, the comprehensive plan, or all other plans, programs, and ordinances adopted by the village.
3. 
The proposed conditional use will maintain the desired consistency of land uses, land use intensities, and land use impacts as related to the environs of the subject property.
4. 
The proposed conditional use is located in an area that will be adequately served by, and will not impose an undue burden on, any of the improvements, facilities, utilities, or services provided by public agencies serving the subject property.
5. 
The potential public benefits of the proposed conditional use outweigh potential adverse impacts of the proposed conditional use, after taking into consideration the applicant's proposal and any requirements recommended by the applicant to ameliorate such impacts.
(10) 
Issuance, notice, and recording of conditional use permit or denial. Within 30 days following the granting of a conditional use permit, the village manager or designee shall issue to the applicant the approved conditional use permit. Said permit shall enumerate the details of the conditional use permit, including an identifiable description of the use and subject property and any specific conditions or requirements of approval. The village manager or designee may record the conditional use permit against the property, assigning all costs thereof to the applicant, and shall make record of the conditional use permit on the official zoning map. In the case of a denial of a conditional use permit, the village manager or designee shall provide written notification to the applicant that the conditional use permit was denied, including the reasons for denial.
(11) 
Effect of denial. No conditional use permit application that has been denied (either wholly or in part) shall be resubmitted for a period of 12 months from the date of said order of denial, except on grounds of new evidence or proof of change of factors relative to the review criteria in subsection (8) that are found valid by the village manager or designee.
(12) 
Penalties, revocation, or modification of an approved conditional use permit.
a. 
Any violation of an approved conditional use permit shall be subject to section 1-13 as well as equitable relief in circuit court.
b. 
A conditional use permit shall be automatically revoked if:
1. 
All buildings and other improvements authorized by the conditional use permit have not been developed, and the conditional use has not commenced operation, within two years of final site plan approval, unless the commission has extended this period by request of the applicant, based on reasons beyond the reasonable control of the applicant.
2. 
Once initially made operational, the operation of the conditional use has been discontinued for a period exceeding 18 months. The burden of proof shall be with the conditional use permit holder or operator to conclusively demonstrate that the conditional use was operational during this period.
c. 
A conditional use permit may be revoked or modified by the plan commission, where the commission determines that the use, its operation, or associated improvements are not in compliance with (i) the terms of this chapter including one or more criteria in subsection (9) or (ii) the approved conditional use permit including any associated plan or approval condition. The commission may commence proceedings to consider revocation or modification, with such proceedings following the process in subsections (6) and (7). An appeal of any such decision shall be allowed per subsection (8).
(13) 
Duration and transfer. The village board may approve a conditional use permit with a limitation on the permit's start date, duration, or transfer if such limitations(s) relate to the purpose of this chapter and the conditional use permit review criteria in subsection (9). Unless the commission approved a conditional use permit with a transfer limitation, or Municipal Code prescribes a transfer limitation for the particular conditional use, all requirements of the approved conditional use permit shall be continued regardless of ownership or operation of the subject property or use and shall run with the land, except as otherwise limited by this chapter or by a specific condition attached to the conditional use permit.
(14) 
Amendments to approved conditional use. Any expansion of or amendment to a previously approved conditional use permit or grandfathered conditional use, including any change in an associated plan or approval condition found to be material by the village manager or designee, shall be processed in accordance with subsections (3) through (11), except where its initial approval allowed expansion or amendment by some other process.
(15) 
Expansion or modification of conditional use. Any substantial expansion or modification of any conditional use or any previously approved condition of such use, in the determination of the village manager or designee, shall require application and village consideration of a new or amended conditional use permit under this section.
(g) 
Tax exempt properties and uses. With the exception of the civic/public library use and structures referenced above, no tax exempt structures or uses are permitted in PUDD 1.
(h) 
Utilities. All utilities shall be underground, including power and telephone.
