(b)

Community living arrangements in all districts.

(1)

Intent. It is the intent and purpose of these regulations to avoid discrimination against disabled persons by maintaining the residential character and desirability of the neighborhoods in which community living arrangements may locate. These regulations are intended to avoid the undue concentration of community living arrangements, as such concentrations may alter the residential character and desirability of a neighborhood and thus defeat the purpose of providing community living housing opportunities in a residential neighborhood setting. It is the nature of community living arrangements as business operations within residential neighborhoods, not the disabled individuals who occupy community living arrangements, that necessitate these regulations. Such facilities impact a residential neighborhood like a "business operation" in that they may include higher levels of nonresident traffic due to staffing, shift changes, and various other service providers, may require state licensing, and may be subject to special regulations administrated by state agencies. The following standards are established consistent with Wis. Stats. § 62.23(7)(i).

(2)

No community living arrangement may be established within 2,500 feet of any other such facility except with a conditional use permit. Note that 2,500 feet is not a density standard or minimum separation distance, but rather is a determinant for whether the conditional use process will be applied.

(3)

Community living arrangements shall be permitted under the standard above as long as their total capacity within any aldermanic district does not exceed 25 or one percent of the population of that district, whichever is greater. When that capacity is reached, no additional community living arrangements shall be permitted within that district until their capacity is reduced or the district's population increases, thus changing the ratio.

(4)

Community living arrangements shall be permitted under the standards above as long as their total capacity does not exceed one percent of the City's total population. When that total capacity is reached, no additional community living arrangements shall be permitted within the City until their capacity is reduced or the City's population increases, thus changing the ratio.

(5)

Exceptions from conditional use permit process.

a.

In accordance with Wis. Stats. § 62.23(7)(i), in all cases where a community living arrangement has capacity for eight or fewer persons being served by the program, meets the criteria listed in subsections (b)(2) through (4) of this section, and is licensed, operated, or permitted under the authority of the Department of Health Services or the Department of Children and Families, that facility is entitled to locate in any residential zone without being required to obtain a conditional use permit.

b.

Adult family home or small group shelter care facility. All adult family homes or small group shelter care facilities which serve disabled residents are entitled to locate in any residential zone without being required to obtain a conditional use permit. All residents of the adult family home or small group shelter care facility, other than the operator or care provider and the operator or care provider's immediate family, shall be disabled persons, as defined by the required state license application.

(6)

In reviewing a conditional use permit for a community living arrangement, the Plan Commission and Common Council shall consider the following:

a.

The character and use of surrounding buildings, the density of nearby community living arrangements, and the potential impact of the proposed facility on the character and desirability of the surrounding neighborhood. Such facilities should not be permitted where proposed building architecture (assuming new construction) does not fit in with the surrounding neighborhood or where the density of such facilities (regardless of whether it is new construction or conversion of an existing building) will negatively impact the neighborhood.

b.

The proximity of the proposed facility to essential services and infrastructure such as police and fire protection, pedestrian paths, transit stops, park facilities, and the like. Such facilities should not be permitted where essential services or infrastructure are not present or planned for improvement or construction.

c.

Whether granting the conditional use permit will provide disabled persons with reasonable accommodation for housing as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Fair Housing Act-Amended (FHAA). Such facilities should not be denied a conditional use permit if they are needed to provide reasonable accommodation.

d.

Whether any conditions of approval are needed to address the compatibility of the use as a business operation with the character of the residential neighborhood. Such conditions shall not be discriminatory toward disabled residents of a community living arrangement.

(7)

Based on the resident capacity, community living arrangements shall provide adequate living space in compliance with the most restrictive of the dormitory standards of this article (subsection (c) of this section), Chapter 8, and applicable state administrative codes.

(8)

(6)

(7)

If construction and occupancy has not been completed and established within 12 months of the date of approval, the conditional use status of the property shall no longer be in effect. In the event of a natural disaster or emergency situation, as determined by the City of Green Bay, these regulations may be suspended for a term of not more than 12 months.

The intent for this use allowance is for production and processing that have little to no external impacts and that are found to be compatible with the downtown or commercial environment. Such uses shall only be approved if they are found to have adequate parking and loading areas and to not have negative impacts on surrounding properties in terms of traffic, noise, odor, vibration, heat, glare, and the like. Impacts on any nearby residential uses will be considered in particular.

d.

(1)

A proposal for new wireless communication facilities and/or support structures shall not be approved unless the Common Council finds that the telecommunications equipment planned for the proposed facilities cannot be accommodated on an existing or approved wireless communication support structure within a one-mile search radius due to one or more of the following reasons, as documented by a qualified and licensed professional engineer:

a.

The planned equipment would exceed the structural capacity of the existing or approved wireless communication support structure, and it cannot be reinforced, modified, or replaced to accommodate equivalent equipment.

a.

All unused wireless communication facilities and/or support structures shall be removed within 12 months of the cessation of operations at the site unless a time extension is approved by the Plan Commission. If leased property, a copy of the signed lease which requires the applicant to remove the wireless communication facilities and/or support structures upon cessation of operations at the site shall be submitted at the time of application. In the event that wireless communication facilities and/or support structures are not removed within 12 months of the cessation of operations at a site, the wireless communication facilities and/or support structures may be removed by the City and the costs assessed against the property.

b.

Unused portions of wireless communication support structures above a manufactured connection shall be removed within six months of the time of antenna relocation. The replacement of portions of a wireless communication support structure previously removed requires the issuance of a new conditional use permit.
