Sec. 94-21. - C-1 lowland conservancy district.

(a)

Purpose. The purpose of the lowland conservancy district is to maintain safe and healthful conditions, to prevent water pollution, to protect fishing spawning grounds and aquatic life, to preserve shore cover and natural beauty, and to preserve, protect, and enhance the lakes, streams, swamps, marshes, bogs, and other wetlands in the city. The proper regulation of these areas will serve to maintain and improve groundwater and surface water quality, prevent flood damage, protect fish and wildlife habitat, prohibit the location of structures on soils which are generally not suitable for such use, protect natural watersheds, and protect the water-based recreation and open space resources of the city. This district recognizes that undisturbed wetlands serve as natural purifiers on surface waters and as protective buffers at the land water interface. Development in wetlands should be limited and, when development is permitted in a wetland, it should occur in a manner that minimizes the adverse impacts upon the wetlands. The establishment of this district also serves the purpose of fulfilling the requirements of Wis. Admin. Code ch. NR 117 under the authority granted by Wis. Stats. §§ 62.23, 62.231, 87.30 and 281.31.

(1)

To stimulate creative approaches to the commercial, residential, and mixed-use development of land.

(2)

To provide for more efficient use of land.

(3)

To preserve natural features and provide open space areas and recreation areas in excess of that required under existing zoning regulations.

(4)

To develop new approaches to the living environment through variety in type, design and layout of buildings, transportation systems, and public facilities.
