17.40 R-4 Elderly Housing Residential District.

(1) 
Purpose.
(a) 
The R-4 District is established, pursuant to state and federal regulations, to accommodate elderly persons, in dwellings of up to 24 one-bedroom and two-bedroom units used exclusively for the elderly, except that no more than three units thereof may be rented to handicapped persons and only one occupant of such unit need be handicapped.
(b) 
This section recognizes the validity of § 106.04, Wis. Stats.,[1] which was especially created to allow discrimination on the basis of age and being handicapped in relation to housing designed to meet the needs of "low-income housing," which includes elderly and handicapped individuals. This chapter further recognizes the applicable federal statute Age Discrimination Act of 1975, 42 U.S.C. §§ 6101 to 6107, wherein § 6103(b)(2) of the Act, as interpreted by 45 CFR 90.3(b), describes such federally assisted programs and allows discrimination and allows that local ordinances may provide for such zoning discrimination both as to elderly and handicapped, among others. Section 42 U.S.C. § 1437(a)(1) and (2) provides for federal housing assistance payments and defines such persons who shall be eligible to receive the same.
[1]
Editor's Note: Section 106.04, Wis. Stats., was repealed by 2017 Act 59, § 1395, effective September 23, 2017.
(2) 
Definitions. For purposes of this section, and relying on the applicable state and federal statutes heretofore cited, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
DISABLED
See "handicapped."
ELDERLY
Any person 62 years of age or older.
HANDICAPPED
A person with any physical disability or developmental disability as defined under § 51.01, Wis. Stats., 42 U.S.C. § 1437(a)(2) or 42 U.S.C. § 423 (Section 223 of the Social Security Act).
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Government, Art. V)]
(3)

17.41 NB Neighborhood Business District.

[Amended 7-11-2007 by Ord. No. 2007-05]
(1) 
Description and purpose. This district is intended to permit small-scale commercial development which 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. 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.
(2) 
Neighborhood business architectural requirements.
(a) 
Maximum zoning district: two acres.
(b) 
Minimum zoning district separation: 2,000 feet.
(c) 
All new Neighborhood Business (NB) Districts shall be established through the conditional rezoning process. Under this approach, the Neighborhood Business District shall not be vested until the approved project has been completed.
(d) 
Maximum building size: 5,000 square feet on first floor; 5,000 square feet on second floor; 5,000 square feet on third floor.
(e) 
No parking in required setbacks for principal buildings.
(f) 
Residential architectural and landscaping requirements include foundation planting, pitched roof, 15% window covering, natural materials (brick, wood, stone), landscaping around all parking areas adjacent to streets.
(g) 
Minimum landscape surface ratio: 40%.
(h) 
Operating hours: no earlier than 6:00 a.m. or later than 11:00 p.m.
(i)

17.42 PB Planned Business District.

[Amended 7-11-2007 by Ord. No. 2007-05]
(1) 
Description and purpose. This district is intended to permit large- and small-scale commercial development which 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. This district is intended to provide the principal zoning district for commercial development which occurs after the adoption of this chapter. The standards of this district are designed to provide a clear distinction from the General Business and Central Business 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.

17.43 CB Central Business District.

[Amended 7-11-2007 by Ord. No. 2007-05]
(1) 
Description and purpose. This district is intended to permit both large- and small-scale downtown commercial development at an intensity which provides significant incentives for in-fill 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. This district is strictly limited to the central Village locations. This district is intended to provide an alternative, primarily in-fill development, designation for commercial activity to the Planned Business (PB) District to assist in maintaining the long-term viability of the central Village.

INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS
Industrial District regulations govern the location, intensity, and method of development of the industrial areas of Mount Horeb. The regulations are designed to provide for the grouping together of industries that are compatible to one another and that are not objectionable to the community as a whole. The regulations are intended to preserve lands for industrial and allied uses and prohibit the intrusion of residential and other noncompatible uses into the industrial areas.
For purposes of determining the restrictiveness of the two industrial zoning classifications, I-1 shall be considered the most restrictive (highest) industrial district, and I-2 shall be considered the least restrictive (lowest) industrial district.

17.44 I-1 Restricted Industrial District.

The I-1 Restricted Industrial District is intended to control the development of lands to be used by industrial firms that have high standards of performance and that can locate in close proximity to business uses, and in locations convenient to residential areas, without creating nuisances. The district regulations are designed to permit the operations of most manufacturing, wholesaling, and warehousing activities with adequate protection to adjacent district uses and sufficient control of external effects to protect one industry from another. Some retail uses are permitted that service the industrial uses within the industrial area or that do not depend upon intensive visits of retail customers. In this district, outdoor storage must be completely screened and all industrial operations must be in an enclosed building.
(1)

17.451 PI Planned Industrial District.

[Added 1-7-2004 by Ord. No. 2004-02]
(1) 
Purpose. This district is intended to permit both large- and small-scale high-quality industrial and office development at an intensity that is consistent with the overall desired Village character of the community through a relatively high minimum landscape surface ratio (LSR) and strong requirements for high-quality buildings. Beyond this objective for community character, the primary distinguishing feature of this district is that it is geared to office, indoor research and high added-value light 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 street used exclusively for residential purposes.
(2) 
Rationale. This district is intended to provide a location for high quality research and value-added light industrial land uses such as research facilities, corporate or regional headquarters, and certain test production and assembly operations, which are protected from potential nuisances associated with certain development permitted within the other industrial districts. In addition, land uses shall comply with the minimum performance standards presented elsewhere in this chapter.
(3) 
Requirements.

17.46 PO Planned Office District.

[Amended 7-11-2007 by Ord. No. 2007-05]
(1) 
Description and purpose. 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. 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.

17.49 PD-1 Planned Development District.

[Amended 2-5-2003 by Ord. No. 2003-07]
(1) 
Statement of purpose.
(a) 
The purpose of this section is to provide regulations that govern the procedure and requirements for the review and approval, or denial, of proposed planned developments, and to provide for the possible relaxation of certain development standards pertaining to the underlying standard zoning district. The regulatory framework for planned developments is designed to encourage and promote environmental quality by allowing for greater freedom, imagination and flexibility in the development of land while ensuring substantial compliance to the basic intent of this chapter and the Comprehensive Plan.
(b) 
Planned developments are intended to provide incentives for development and redevelopment in areas of the community that are experiencing a lack of significant investment. Furthermore, planned developments are designed to forward both the aesthetic and economic development objectives of the Village by controlling the site design and the appearance, density or intensity of development in terms of more flexible requirements for land uses, density, intensity, bulk, landscaping, and parking requirements. In exchange for such flexibility, the Planned Development shall provide a much higher level of site design, architectural control and other aspects of aesthetic and functional excellence than normally required for other developments.
(c) 
Planned Developments have the potential to create undesirable impacts on nearby properties if allowed to develop simply under the general requirements of this chapter. In addition to such potential, Planned Developments also have the potential to create undesirable impacts on nearby properties which potentially cannot be determined except with a binding site plan, landscape plan and architectural plan, and on a case-by-case basis. In order to prevent this from occurring, all Planned Developments are required to meet certain procedural requirements applicable only to Planned Developments, in addition to the general requirements of this chapter. A public hearing process is required to review a request for a Planned Development. This process shall essentially combine the process for a Zoning Map amendment with that required for a conditional use, with several additional requirements.
(2) 
Permitted location. Planned developments shall be permitted with the approval of a Planned Development Zoning District, specific to the approved Planned Development, within all zoning districts.
(3) 
Minimum district area. The minimum area for a Greenfield Planned Development District is five acres. There is no minimum area requirement for a Redevelopment or Infill Planned Development District for a redevelopment site, nor is there a minimum area requirement for a Planned Development District.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Government, Art. V)]
(4) 
Provision of flexible development standards for planned developments.
(a) 
Flexible development standards. The following exemptions to the development standards of the underlying zoning district may be provided with the approval of a Planned Development:
1. 
Land use requirements. All land uses permitted within the R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, NB, CB, PB, MB or PI Districts may be permitted within a Planned Development.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Government, Art. V)]
2. 
Density and intensity requirements. All requirements listed in Chart 1[1] and within the zoning district for residential density and nonresidential intensity may be waived within a Planned Development.
3. 
Bulk requirements. All bulk requirements listed in Chart 1[2] may be waived within a Planned Development.
4. 
Landscaping requirements. All landscaping requirements listed in Article XII may be waived within a Planned Development.
5. 
Signage requirements. All signage requirements listed in Article XVI may be waived within a Planned Development.
6. 
Parking and loading requirements. All parking and loading requirements listed in Article XII may be waived within a Planned Development.
7. 
Lot, block, and street configuration requirements. All requirements listed in this chapter and Chapter 18, Subdivision and Platting, pertaining to lot, block, and street configuration may be waived within a Planned Development. A waiver for lot, block, and street configuration requirements listed within Chapter 18, Subdivision and Platting, requires the granting of a variance per § 18.60. The approval of an SIP with such waivers for lot, block, and street configuration requirements listed within Chapter 18, Subdivision and Platting, shall constitute the granting of a variance under § 18.60.
(5) 
Requirements to depict all aspects of development. Only development which is explicitly depicted on the required site plan approved by the Village Board as part of the approved Planned Development shall be permitted, even if such development (including all aspects of land use, density and intensity, bulk, landscaping, and parking and loading), is otherwise listed as permitted in Article VI, Modifications. Requested exemptions from these standards shall be made explicit by the applicant in the application, and shall be recommended by the Plan Commission and approved explicitly by the Village Board. If not so depicted, requested and approved, such exemptions shall not be permitted.
(6) 
Criteria for approval. As a basis for determining the acceptability of a Planned Development District petition, the following criteria shall be applied with specific consideration as to whether or not the general development plan for the proposed district is consistent with the spirit and intent of this chapter and has been prepared with competent professional advice and guidance.
(a) 
Character and intensity of land use. In a Planned Development District, the uses proposed and their intensity and arrangement on the site shall be of a visual and functional character, which:
1. 
Is compatible with the physical nature of the site with particular concern for preservation of natural features and open space.
2. 
Produces an attractive environment of sustained aesthetic and ecologic desirability, economic stability and functional practicality and complies with the Master Plan, including any residential density limitations, for the area as established by the Village.
3. 
Will not adversely affect the anticipated provision for school or other municipal services.
4. 
Will not create a traffic or parking demand incompatible with the existing or proposed facilities to serve it.
(b) 
Economic feasibility and impact. The petitioner shall provide evidence satisfactory to the Village Board that the proposed development is economically feasible, that the developer has adequate available financing, and that the development will not adversely affect the economic prosperity of the Village or the values of surrounding properties.
(c) 
Engineering design standards. The width of street rights-of-way, width and location of street or other paving, outdoor lighting, location of sewer and water lines, provision for stormwater drainage, or other similar environmental engineering considerations shall be based on determinations approved by the Village Engineer as to the appropriate standards necessary to implement the specific function in the specific situation; provided, however, in no case shall such standards be less than those necessary to ensure the public safety and welfare as determined by the Village.
(d) 
Preservation and maintenance of open space. In a Planned Development District, not less than 15% of the total land area of such district shall be designated as open space and adequate provision shall be made for the permanent preservation and maintenance of such open space either by private reservation or dedication to the public.
1. 
In the case of private reservation, areas of open space shall be protected against building development by conveying to the Village, as a condition for project approval, an open space easement over such open areas restricting any future building or use except as is consistent with such easement.
2. 
Provision shall be made to landscape open space for the aesthetic and recreational benefit of the development.
3. 
The care and maintenance of such privately reserved open space shall be assured by establishment of appropriate management organization. The manner of assuring maintenances shall be included in the title to each property in the development.
(7) 
Procedure. The procedure for rezoning to a Planned Development District shall be the same as required for any other zoning district under this chapter, with the following additional requirements:
(a) 
General development plan. The petitioner shall file with the Plan Commission a general development plan which shall include the following information:
