§ 325-36 Interpretation of zoning district boundaries.
The following rules shall be used to determine the precise location of any zoning district boundary shown on the Official Zoning Map of the Village of Cottage Grove:
A.
Zoning district boundaries shown as following or approximately following the limits of any city, village, town or county boundary shall be construed as following such limits.
B.
Zoning district boundaries shown as following or approximately following streets or railroad lines shall be construed as following the center line of such streets or railroad lines.
C.
Zoning district boundary lines shown as following or approximately following platted lot lines or other property lines as shown on the Village of Cottage Grove or County of Dane Tax Maps shall be construed as following such lines.
D.
Zoning district boundaries shown as following or approximately following the center lines of streams, rivers or other continuously flowing watercourses shall be construed as following the channel center lines of such watercourses, and, in the event of a natural change in the location of such streams, rivers or other watercourses, the zoning district boundary shall be construed as moving with the channel center line.

§ 325-37 Agricultural districts.
A.
Rural Holding (RH) District.
(1)
Description and purpose.
(a)
This district is intended to permit development that is solely of a rural community character. The land use standards for this district permit very low density single-family residential development at a density of one dwelling unit for every 35 gross acres, as well as a variety of agricultural and agricultural support land uses. Density and intensity standards for this district are designed to ensure that development requiring even a minimum of urban services does not occur until such services are available. As such, the Rural Holding (RH) District shall either serve as a designation which preserves and protects agricultural activities or as a holding zone which provides for an interim land use (agriculture) that will easily permit further development (with rezoning to another district) at the appropriate time.
(b)
Rationale. This district is used to provide for the protection of agricultural activities, and a very low density residential area for those who want to live in a rural environment and who retain enough land with their residence to ensure that the rural environment is maintained as long as the Rural Holding (RH) District designation is retained. In this manner, even if all property were developed in a given area with the Rural Holding (RH) District designation, the rural community character of that area would still be maintained.

Multifamily Residential-10 (MR-10) District.
(1)
Description and purpose.
(a)
This district is intended to permit development that has a higher density community character. The land use standards for this district permit single-family detached, twin house/duplex, two-flats, townhouses and multiplexes permitted by right and related institutional land uses. Density and intensity standards for this district are designed to ensure that the Multifamily Residential-10 District shall serve as a designation that preserves and protects the community character of its area. A variety of residential development options are available in this district, with a maximum gross density (MGD) of 10 dwelling units per gross acre.
(b)
Rationale. This district is used to provide for the permanent protection of an area for those who want to live in a higher density residential environment and who retain enough land with their residence, or in their development, to ensure that the urban community character is maintained as long as the MR-10 District designation is retained, regardless of how much development occurs within that area. As such, it is intended to provide the principal location for mixed residential development.

A.
Neighborhood Office (NO) District.
(1)
Description and purpose.
(a)
This district is intended to permit high-quality office and institutional land uses at an intensity compatible with the older portions of the Village predominately developed with large homes which are desirable to maintain, where traffic volumes and adjacent land uses dictate the transition of these areas to certain nonresidential uses. The desired neighborhood character of the development is attained through landscape surface area ratio (LSR) requirements and by restricting the maximum building size (MBS) of all buildings within each instance of this district to 5,000 square feet. A range of dwelling unit types may be allowed. Significant areas of landscaping are required in this district to ensure that this effect is achieved. In order to ensure a minimum of disruption to adjacent residential development, no development within this district shall take direct access to a local residential street or a residential collector street.
(b)
Rationale. This district is used to provide for the permanent protection of an area, which preserves the original residential appearance, yet permits office and institutional land uses, and which ensures that the neighborhood character is maintained as long as the NO District designation is retained, regardless of how much development occurs within that area.
(c)
Neighborhood office requirements.
[1]
Maximum zoning district: 2 acres.
[2]
Minimum zoning district separation: 2,000 feet.
[3]
All new Neighborhood Office (NO) Districts shall be established through the standard rezoning process. The final approval of the rezoning request shall not be granted until Plan Commission approval of a site plan for the subject property.
[4]
Maximum building size: 5,000 square feet (one-story); 10,000 square feet (two-story).
[5]
No parking in required setbacks for principal buildings.
[6]
Residential architectural and landscaping requirements include: foundation planting, pitched roof, 15% window covering, natural materials (brick, wood, stone).
[7]
Minimum landscape surface ratio: 25% for one-story, 30% for two-story.
[8]
Operating hours: no earlier than 6:00 a.m. or later than 11:00 p.m.

B.
Planned Office (PO) District.
(1)
Description and purpose.
(a)
This district is intended to permit high-quality office and institutional land uses at an intensity compatible with the overall community character of the Village. A relatively low maximum floor area ratio (FAR) and significant areas of landscaping are required in this district to ensure that this effect is achieved. In order to ensure a minimum of disruption to residential development, no development within this district shall take direct access to a local residential street or a residential collector street.
(b)
Rationale. This district is used to provide for the permanent protection of an area for those who desire a high-quality office environment which maintains the attractiveness of the site and retains enough open land in their development to ensure that the community character is maintained as long as the PO District designation is retained, regardless of how much development occurs within that area.

A.
Neighborhood Business (NB) District.
(1)
Description and purpose,
(a)
This district is intended to permit small-scale commercial development that is compatible with the desired overall neighborhood community character of the area in general, and with adjacent residential development in particular. The desired neighborhood community character of the development is attained through landscape surface area ratio (LSR) requirements and by restricting the maximum building size (MBS) of all buildings within each instance of this district to 5,000 square feet. Significant areas of landscaping are required in this district to ensure that this effect is achieved. In order to ensure a minimum of disruption to residential development, no development within this district shall take direct access to a local residential street or a residential collector street.
(b)
Rationale. This district is used to provide both convenience oriented goods and services and for the permanent protection of adjacent residential areas by permitting only a limited range of commercial activities. Together, these requirements ensure that the desired character is maintained as long as the NB District designation is retained, regardless of how much development occurs within that area.

B.
Planned Business (PB) District.
(1)
Description and purpose.
(a)
This district is intended to permit large- and small-scale commercial development that is compatible with the desired overall community character of the area in general. Significant areas of landscaping are required in this district to ensure that this effect is achieved. A wide range of office, retail and lodging land uses are permitted within this district. In order to ensure a minimum of disruption to residential development, no development within this district shall take direct access to a local residential street or a residential collector street.
(b)
Rationale. This district is intended to provide the principal zoning district for commercial development occurring after the adoption of this chapter. The standards of this district are designed to provide a clear distinction from the Neighborhood Business (NB) and Central Business (CB) Districts in terms of permitted intensity of development, treatment of outdoor sales and required green space areas. The desired suburban community character of the development is attained through the landscape surface area ratio (LSR) requirements. Together, these requirements ensure that the desired community character is maintained as long as the Planned Business District designation is retained, regardless of how much development occurs within that area.

C.
Central Business (CB) District.
(1)
Description and purpose.
(a)
This district is intended to permit both large- and small-scale downtown commercial development at an intensity that provides significant incentives for infill development, redevelopment and the continued economic viability of existing development. To accomplish this effect, minimum landscape surface ratios (LSRs) permitted in this district are much lower than those allowed in the Planned Business and General Business Districts. A wide range of office, retail and lodging land uses are permitted within this district. In order to ensure a minimum of disruption to residential development, no development within this district shall take direct access to a local residential street or a residential collector street. No requirements for on-site landscaping or parking are required in this district.
(b)
Rationale. This district is intended to provide an alternative, primarily infill development, designation for commercial activity to the Planned Business (PB) District. This district is specifically intended to assist in maintaining the long-term viability of the community center for the Village.

Signage regulations.
[1]
One exterior wall sign for every side of a business fronting a public street or public parking area. Said signs shall generally be located in a relatively short and wide band located above the building's first-floor doors and windows, and generally consistent in letter height for each sign on the building.
[2]
The area of each sign shall not exceed 10% of the exterior first floor wall space fronted by said business. Sign area may not be transferred to other walls.
[3]
Businesses located only on upper floors shall not be permitted exterior signage.
[4]
No freestanding signs, roof signs nor projecting signs shall be permitted. Canopy signs shall count as permitted wall signs.
[5]
The largest area permitted for any single sign shall be 100 square feet. The total area of signage devoted to a single business or building shall be the aggregate of all otherwise permitted signs. Signs attached to or visible only be persons located outside windows shall count towards these limits.
[6]
Sign materials shall be limited to metal, masonry, stone, wood or glass.
[7]
Sign illumination shall be from exterior spot lighting rather than from interior light sources.
(b)
Architectural design.
[1]
Downtown residential and nonresidential structures shall exhibit the typical multistory storefront architecture typical of small city and/or village downtowns of the 1900 to 1940 period (such as in the downtown portion of Sun Prairie, Stoughton or Cambridge) and/or converted single-family and two-flat residential structures of the same period (such as replicated in the redeveloped portion of downtown Middleton).
[2]
Such structures shall be constructed with primarily a masonry and glass exterior along public streets and alleys, where wood, metal and synthetic materials shall be limited to window and doorway elements. In certain instances, the use of high-quality wood and glass exteriors may be deemed appropriate.
[3]
Building facades along public streets shall be fenestrated by regularly spaced and sized window and door openings, divided by relatively narrow vertical rectilinear masonry elements that mirror the interior vertical structural elements of the exterior wall. In general, window openings shall extend from door or door transom heights down to within one to two feet of sidewalk level. Covered bay-type setbacks for doorways are permitted, as are transom-band windows over the main street level windows. Windows on upper floors shall mirror the horizontal spacing of first-floor door and windows, but may be of substantially shorter vertical height typical of downtown buildings of this period. Doors shall be predominantly glass.
[4]
Generally, building roofs shall be flat or almost flat, with decorative cornice work.
[5]
Rooftop fixtures shall be fully screened from public streets.
[6]
To ensure appropriately complete submittals and review, development within the CB District shall be subject to detailed architectural review and approval by the Plan Commission, per the procedures applicable for conditional uses.

A.
Planned Industrial (PI) District.
(1)
Description and purpose.
(a)
This district is intended to permit both large- and small-scale industrial and office development at an intensity that is consistent with the overall desired suburban community character of the community. Beyond a relatively high minimum green space ratio (GSR), the primary distinguishing feature of this district is that it is geared to indoor industrial activities not typically associated with high levels of noise, soot, odors and other potential nuisances for adjoining properties. In order to ensure a minimum of disruption to residential development, no development within this district shall take direct access to a local residential street or a residential collector street.
(b)
Rationale. This district is intended to provide a location for suburban intensity light industrial land uses such as assembly operations, storage and warehousing facilities, offices and light manufacturing which are protected from potential nuisances associated with certain development permitted within the GI District. In addition, land uses shall comply with the minimum performance standards presented in Article VII.

The design of the exterior of all buildings within the PI District shall require approval upon review by the Village Plan Commission.
(b)
The front of manufacturing/industrial/warehouse-distribution-type buildings should be faced over approximately 1/3 of the surface area with brick, block or other material architecturally integrated in the building design. Unfaced concrete block, structural concrete and prefabricated metal siding are discouraged from the area. Extensive landscaping of the building site may be considered as a substitute for a portion of the one-third surface area as suggested above at the discretion of the Village Plan Commission.
(c)
The exterior of retail/office-type buildings should be constructed predominantly of nonmetallic finishes such as architectural masonry, vinyl siding or wood siding.
(d)
All elevations of the building shall be designed in a consistent and coherent architectural manner. Changes in material, color and/or texture shall occur at points relating to the massing, fenestration and overall design concept of the building.
(e)
All buildings should be sited on the lot to present their most desirable face to the street and, where possible, should be related to buildings on adjoining lots.
B.
General Industrial (GI) District.
(1)
Description and purpose.
(a)
This district is intended to permit both large- and small-scale industrial and office development at an intensity that is consistent with existing transition and urban intensity development. Beyond a relatively high minimum green space ratio (GSR), the primary distinguishing feature of this district is that it is geared to indoor industrial activities not typically associated with high levels of noise, soot, odors and other potential nuisances for adjoining properties. To ensure a minimum of disruption to residential development, no development within this district shall take direct access to a local residential street or a residential collector street.
(b)
Rationale. This district is intended to provide a location for urban intensity light industrial land uses such as assembly operations, storage and warehousing facilities, offices and light manufacturing which are protected from potential nuisances associated with certain development permitted within the HI District.

C.
Heavy Industrial (HI) District.
(1)
Description and purpose.
(a)
This district is intended to permit both large- and small-scale industrial and office development at an intensity that provides ample incentive for infill development and redevelopment of industrial areas existing as of the effective date of this chapter. This district is designed to permit a very wide variety of industrial uses which may occur both indoors and outdoors, including certain land uses which are permitted in no other zoning district because of their potential to create nuisances for adjoining properties. In order to ensure a minimum of disruption to residential development, no development within this district shall take direct access to a local residential street or a residential collector street.
(b)
Rationale. This district is intended to provide a location for both light and heavy industrial uses in a zoning district in which the potential for nuisance complaints from nearby properties is minimized. It must be emphasized that this is not a district where virtually any land use is permitted, as all uses shall comply with the minimum performance standards presented in Article VII. In addition, certain land uses such as extraction, junkyards and salvage operations and freight terminals are permitted within this district only upon the granting of a conditional use permit.

Planned Unit Development (PUD _-_) District.
(1)
Description and purpose.
(a)
This district is intended to provide more incentives for redevelopment in areas of the community which are experiencing a lack of reinvestment or which require flexible zoning treatment because of factors specific to the site. This district is designed to forward both aesthetic and economic objectives of the Village by controlling the site design and the land use, appearance, density or intensity of development within the district in a manner that is consistent with sound land use, urban design and economic revitalization principles. The application of these standards will ensure long-term progress and broad participation toward these principles. Refer to § 325-115 for the procedures applicable to proposal review in this standard zoning district.
§ 325-44 Natural resource protection districts and other permanent green space areas.
[Added 10-18-2004 by Ord. No. 12-2005]
The purpose of this section is to set forth the requirements for the mandatory protection of natural resources and permanently protected green space areas within the jurisdiction of this chapter (see § 325-16). In part, the provisions of this section are designed to ensure the implementation of the Village of Cottage Grove Comprehensive Master Plan, the environmental protection element of the Dane County Environmental Corridor Protection Program, and State of Wisconsin Statutes. This section contains the standards which govern the protection, disturbance, and mitigation of disruption of all natural resource and other permanently protected green space areas. The provisions of this section are intended to supplement those of the Village of Cottage Grove, Dane County, the State of Wisconsin, and the federal government of the United States which pertain to natural resource protection. Prior to using the provisions of this section to determine the permitted disruption of such areas, the requirements provided below should be reviewed. This section recognizes the important and diverse benefits which natural resource features provide in terms of protecting the health, safety, and general welfare of the community. Each of the following sections is oriented to each natural resource type, and is designed to accomplish several objectives: (1) First, a definition of the natural resource is provided. (2) Second, the specific purposes of the protective regulations governing each natural resource type are provided. (3) Third, the required method of identifying and determining the boundaries of the natural resource area is given. (4) Fourth, mandatory protection requirements are identified.
NOTE: Protection requirements for specific land uses and natural resource types designed to minimize disruption of natural resource functions are presented in Subsection H. |
A.
Lakeshore Overlay Zoning District.
(1)
Definition. Lakeshores are the land margins of navigable waters which are identified as "lakes and other water bodies" as shown on Environmental Corridors Composite Maps for the Village of Cottage Grove and its environs, prepared by the DCRPC and successor agency(ies) or, in the absence of these maps, on the USGS 7.5 minute series. The boundary of such features shall be defined by detailed on-site investigation and survey as part of the site plan review or land division process. Lakeshores are all areas within 100 feet of the ordinary high water mark of such features, Decorative water features shall not be considered "navigable waters" for the purposes of this section. This meaning of "lakeshores" shall remain distinct from the meaning of the term as employed by the State of Wisconsin Statutes and the DNR.
(2)
Purpose of lakeshore protection requirements. Lakeshores serve to protect land/water margins from erosion due to site disruption. Because of regular contact with wave action, currants, and runoff, such areas are highly susceptible to continuous and, in some cases, rapid erosion. Lakeshore protection also provides a natural vegetation buffer which serves to reduce water velocities and wave energy, and filters significant amounts of water-borne pollutants and sediments. Lakeshores also promote infiltration and groundwater recharging, and provide a unique habitat at the land/water margin.
(3)
Determination of lakeshore boundaries. General lakeshore boundaries are depicted on the Official Zoning Map. Upon the proposal of development activity on any property which contains a lakeshore depicted on the Official Zoning Map, the petitioner shall prepare a detailed site analysis per the requirements of § 325-112. This analysis shalt depict the location of all lakeshore areas on the subject property as related to the provisions of Subsection A(1), above.
B.
Drainageway Overlay Zoning District.
(1)
Definition. Drainageways are non-navigable, aboveground watercourses, detention basins and/or their environs which are identified by the presence of one or more of the following:
(a)
All areas within 75 feet of the ordinary high water mark of a "perennial stream" as shown on Environmental Corridors Composite Maps for the Village of Cottage Grove and its environs, prepared by the DCRPC and successor agency(ies) or, in the absence of these maps, on the USGS 7.5 minute series. The boundary of such features shall be defined) by detailed on-site investigation and survey as part of the site plan review or land division process.
(b)
All areas within 50 feet of the ordinary high water mark of an "intermittent stream" or "open channel drainageway" as shown on Environmental Corridors Composite Maps for the Village of Cottage Grove and its environs, prepared by the DCRPC and successor agency(ies).
(2)
Purpose of drainageway protection requirements. Drainageways serve in the transporting of surface runoff to downstream areas. As such, drainageways serve to carry surface waters, supplement floodplain, wetland, and lakeshore water storage functions in heavy storm or melt events, filter water-borne pollutants and sediments, promote infiltration and groundwater recharging, and provide a unique habitat at the land/water margin. Drainageway protection requirements preserve each of these functions as well as greatly reduce the potential for soil erosion along drainageways by protecting vegetative groundcover in areas which are susceptible to variable runoff flows and moderate to rapid water movement.
(3)
Determination of drainageway boundaries. General drainageway boundaries are depicted on the Official Zoning Map. Upon the proposal of development activity on any property which contains a drainageway depicted on the Official Zoning Map, the petitioner shall prepare a detailed site analysis per the requirements of § 325-112. This analysis shall depict the location of all drainageway areas on the subject property as related to the provisions of Subsection B(1) above.
(4)
Mandatory drainageway protection requirements. Drainageways shall retrain in an undisturbed state except for the land uses permitted in Subsection H. Vegetation clearing to maintain drainageway functions is permitted with the written approval of the Director of Public Works. All areas designated as drainageways shall be located within a public easement or dedication for maintenance purposes to preserve proper drainage flow.
C.
Woodland Overlay Zoning District.
(1)
Definition. Woodlands are areas of trees whose combined canopies cover a minimum of 80% of an area of one acre or more, as shown on Environmental Corridors Composite Maps for the Village of Cottage Grove and its environs, prepared by the DCRPC and successor agency(ies) or, in the absence of those maps, on the USGS 7.5 minute series. The boundary of such features shall be defined by detailed on-site investigation and survey as part of the site plan review or land division process.
(2)
Purpose of woodland protection requirements. Woodlands provide a wide variety of environmental functions. These include atmospheric benefits such as removing air-borne pollutants, carbon dioxide uptake, oxygen production, and evapotranspiration returns. Water quality benefits include substantial nutrient uptake rates (particularly for nitrogen and phosphorus) and surface runoff reduction in terms of both volumes and velocities. Woodlands provide unique wildlife habitats and food sources. Woodlands are excellent soil stabilizers, greatly reducing runoff-related soil erosion. Woodlands also serve to reduce wind velocities which further reduce soil erosion. Finally, under proper management techniques, woodlands serve as regenerative fuel sources.
(3)
Determination of woodland boundaries. General woodland boundaries are depicted on the Official Zoning Map. Upon the proposal of development activity on any property which contains a woodland depicted on the Official Zoning Map, the petitioner shall prepare a detailed site analysis per the requirements of § 325-112. This analysis shall depict the location of all woodland areas on the subject property as related to the provisions of Subsection C(1) above.
(4)
Mandatory woodland protection requirements. Woodlands shall remain in an undisturbed state except for the land uses permitted in Subsection H and areas subject to the following mitigation requirements. Selective cutting operations are permitted by right in all woodland areas (per the requirements of Subsection H). Clear cutting is permitted as a conditional use in all woodland areas (per the requirements of Subsection H).
D.
Steep Slope Overlay Zoning District.
(1)
Definition. Steep slopes are areas which contain a gradient of 12% or greater (equivalent to a ten-foot elevation change in a distance of 83 feet or less), as shown on environmental Corridors Composite Maps for the Village of Cottage Grove and its environs, prepared by the DCRPC and successor agency(ies) or, in the absence of these maps, on the USGS 7.5 minute series. The boundary of such features shall be defined by detailed on-site investigation and survey as part of the site plan review or land division process.
(2)
Purpose of steep slope protection requirements. Steep slopes are particularly susceptible to damage resulting from site disruption, primarily related to soil erosion. Such damage is likely to spread to areas which were not originally disturbed. Such erosion reduces the productivity of the soil, results in exacerbated erosion downhill, and results in increased sedimentation in drainageways, wetlands, streams, ponds and lakes. Beyond adversely affecting the environmental functions at these resources areas, such sedimentation also increases flood hazards by reducing the floodwater storage capacity of hydrological system components, thus elevating the flood level of the drainage system in affected areas. Beyond these threats to the public safety, disruption of steep slopes also increases the likelihood of slippage and slumping, unstable soil movements which may threaten adjacent properties, buildings, and public facilities such as roads and utilities.
(3)
Determination of steep slope boundaries. General steep slope boundaries are depicted on the Official Zoning Map. Upon the proposal of development activity on any property which contains a steep slope depicted on the Official Zoning Map, the petitioner shall prepare a detailed site analysis per the requirements of § 325-112. This analysis shall depict the location of all steep slope areas on the subject property as related to the provisions of Subsection D(1), above.

G.
Other permanently protected open space.
(1)
Definition. Areas designated on land divisions, site plans, and/or as described in easements and deed restrictions that are permanently restricted only for open space related uses and activities. Examples include community gardens, community greens, private playground areas, or other open space areas designated by site plan, land division, or easements. Such areas may or may not overlap with designated environmental corridors or other protected natural resource areas.
(2)
Purpose of permanently protected open space requirements to ensure that such areas remain undeveloped as permanently protected open space.
(3)
Determination of permanently protected open space boundaries. Protected open space boundaries are depleted on the approved development plan.
(4)
Mandatory permanently protected open space requirements. Passive outdoor recreation, active outdoor recreation, outdoor institutional, lawn care (mow-feed-seed-weed), golf course, and any other permitted temporary use are permitted in permanently protected open space. Drainage structures, filling, septic systems, utility lines and related facilities, piers, and wharves are conditional uses in this category.
