Maple Bluff Village, WI Zoning Ordinance

The "PUD" Planned Unit Development District is established to promote exceptional urban design while allowing for greater freedom, imagination, and flexibility in the development of land than one of the standard zoning districts listed above. Developments within the PUD District shall be characterized by coordinated, professional, unified, and creative site and building design; compatible uses within the project and with relation to surrounding lands; coordination of architectural styles, forms, and relationships; community-enhancing spaces and features; safe, efficient, and convenient, pedestrian and vehicular access; and environmental sustainability and energy efficiency.

The PUD District may be applied only to lots with frontage on North Sherman or Sherman Avenues, zoned CM prior to rezoning to PUD, or both.

The following modifications to normal requirements of this chapter may be proposed by an applicant and approved by the Village within each planned unit development:

Any land use or combination of uses enumerated in Figure 225.2.1 may be permitted.

Flexibility in any dimensional standard in Figure 225.2.2.

Flexibility in site and building design under Article 4 and signage under Article 5.

Flexibility in land division requirements under Article 6.

All modifications authorized under Subsection E(3) shall be limited to those specified in the Village-approved specific implementation plan (SIP) for each PUD and enforced as part of this chapter. To the extent that such modifications are not specified in a Village-approved SIP, the normal requirements associated with the affected categorical areas or most similar standard zoning district(s) shall prevail and be enforced within the PUD.

§ 225-2-4 Allowable land uses by zoning district.

Figure 225.2.1 lists permitted, conditional, and temporary uses within each zoning district described in § 225-2-3. Article 3 includes a description of each listed land use and performance standards for many uses.

If any land use is not listed as a permitted, conditional, or temporary land use in a zoning district in Figure 225.2.1, such land use shall be prohibited in such district except as may be allowed under Subsection C. If such unlisted land use was lawfully established in the zoning district despite its prohibited status, such land use is a nonconforming use pursuant to § 225-7-2.

Where a proposed or existing land use is not encompassed by a use listed in Figure 225.2.1 and described in Article 3, the Plan Commission is authorized to determine that such land use is similar enough to one of the land uses listed in Figure 225.2.1 to have the same permitted, conditional, or prohibited status in a zoning district. All such determinations shall be made by motion, kept on file by the Zoning Administrator, and based on an evaluation of how such land use compares to a land use listed in Figure 225.2.1 using the following factors:

The relative characteristics of the unlisted land use, including materials, equipment, processes, and employment density for nonresidential uses and population density and scale for residential uses.

The relative amount of site area or building floor area devoted to the unlisted land use, and the relative size, scale, and density of the use.

For nonresidential uses, the relative type and amounts of activity, as measured by traffic, loading, sales, customer type, products or services produced or sold, hours of operation, seasonality of use, and other reasonably objective factors.

The relative performance of the land use against different standards in this chapter, such as noise, lighting, signage, and other factors which tend to have impacts beyond property lines.

Notes associated with Figure 225.2.1:
¹	See other provisions of this chapter for other activities and situations that may require a conditional use permit. Where cell lists "P/C" or "C/T", this means that use may be a permitted or a conditional use, or a conditional or a temporary use, depending on its characteristics as described in Article 3.
²	Aside from essential services, any land use in the CM district having hours of operation extending before 6:00 a.m. or after 11:00 p.m. shall be a conditional use, regardless of how such use is listed in this figure.
³	Within the PUD Planned Unit Development district., any land use or combination of uses in this figure may be permitted, but only to the extent prescribed within a Village-approved PUD specific implementation plan.
⁴	Notwithstanding the limitations in this figure, the Board of Appeals has the authority to permit a temporary building in the R-A and R-B Districts which is incidental to residential construction, with any such permit to be issued for a period of not more than one year.
