(Ord. No. 16-07, 6-20-2016)

Aside from public rights-of-way, each part of the village is mapped within one of the following standard zoning districts. The purpose of each district is stated below. Also listed (within parentheses) are parallel or similar zoning districts from the predecessor zoning ordinance, for reference purposes only.

A.

Rural and open space districts.

(1)

AR Agriculture and Residential. The AR district is primarily intended to preserve agricultural, forested, and other open lands and to allow for very low-density residential development. Development within this district may be served by individual on-site wastewater treatment systems and roadways within a rural cross section. Development of these lands is typically limited due to lack of public utilities and services, inadequate roads, a sufficient supply of lands zoned for development elsewhere, and other factors. The AR district is intended for areas planned for agricultural/rural residential development within the comprehensive plan. (Predecessor district: AG-2)

(2)

RR-5 Rural Residential five acres. The RR-5 district is intended for mainly single-family detached residential development on minimum five-acre-sized rural lots, along with compatible home occupations, small-scale institutional and recreational uses, and low-intensity agricultural uses. Development within this district may be served by individual on-site wastewater treatment systems and roadways within a rural cross section. The RR-5 district is intended for areas planned for rural residential development within the comprehensive plan. (Predecessor district: AG-1)

(3)

RR-2 Rural Residential two acres. The RR-2 district is intended for mainly single-family detached residential development on minimum two acre sized rural lots, along with compatible home occupations, small-scale institutional and recreational uses, and low-intensity agricultural uses. Development within this district may be served by individual on-site wastewater treatment systems and roadways within a rural cross section. The RR-2 district is intended for areas planned for rural residential development within the comprehensive plan. (Predecessor districts: RR Rural Residential; SR Suburban Residential)

(4)

PR Parks and Recreation. The PR district is intended to accommodate parks, public recreational areas, public open spaces, and private lands and buildings available for public recreation and/or conservation. (Predecessor districts: none)

B.

Residential districts.

(1)

SF Single-Family Residential. The SF district is intended for mainly single-family detached residential development, along with compatible home occupations and small-scale institutional and recreational uses. New development within this district is generally served by public sanitary sewer and water services but may have roadways with a rural cross section (e.g., roadside swales). The SF district is intended for areas planned for single-family residential development, or for portions of areas planned for neighborhood development, within the comprehensive plan. (Predecessor district: R1 Single Family Residential)

(2)

2F Two-Family Residential. The 2F district accommodates two-family residences such as duplexes and two-flats; single family residences; and compatible home occupations and small-scale institutional and recreational uses. Development within this district is generally served by public sanitary sewer and water services and roadways with an urban cross section (e.g., curbs, storm sewer). The 2F district is intended for areas planned for two-family residential development, or portions of areas planned for neighborhood development at the village's discretion, within the comprehensive plan. (Predecessor district: R2 Two Family Residence, Condominium Overlay)

(3)

MF Multiple-Family Residential. The MF district accommodates a range of housing types, including multiple-family residences (e.g., townhouses, apartment buildings, multiplexes), two-family residences, and single-family residences, along with compatible institutional and recreational uses. Development within this district is generally served by public sanitary sewer and water services and roadways with an urban cross section (e.g., curbs, storm sewer). The MF district is intended for areas planned for multiple-family residential development, or portions of areas planned for neighborhood development at the village's discretion, within the comprehensive plan. (Predecessor district: R4 Multifamily Residence)

(4)

MH Mobile Home. The MH district provides a safe, attractive, and functional environment for "parks" and subdivisions specifically intended for mobile and/or manufactured homes. Development within this district is generally served by public sanitary sewer and water services and public roadways with an urban cross section (e.g., curbs, storm sewer). The roadway, sewer, and water networks within each mobile home community are to be privately owned, except where otherwise approved by the village. The MH district is intended for portions of areas planned for multiple-family residential development or neighborhood development, within the comprehensive plan, at the village's discretion. (Predecessor district: none)

C.

Nonresidential and mixed-use districts.

(1)

INT Institutional. The INT district enables a range of public, semipublic, educational, religious, and other "gathering" type uses generally intended for noncommercial purposes, subject to performance standards to ensure compatibility between institutional uses and surrounding uses, zoning districts, and infrastructure. Development within this district is generally served by public sanitary sewer and water services and roadways with an urban cross section (e.g., curbs, storm sewer).
