Muskego City Zoning Code

ARTICLE VII

Zoning Districts Established

§ 400-35 Applicability of regulations.

The regulations of the various sections of this code are made specifically applicable to each individual district as hereinafter set forth in the individual district sections of this code.

§ 400-36 Format of district regulations and summary.

A. 
Basic districts. All property in the City has been placed in the basic districts created for the purpose of establishing the general pattern of intended land use consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II).
B. 
Planned Development District. The Planned Development District is intended to allow for greater freedom, imagination, and flexibility in the development of land while ensuring substantial compliance with the intent of the normal district regulations of this chapter.
C. 
Conservation Planned Development District. The Conservation Planned Development District is intended to provide development flexibility, conserve a majority of a development site in permanent open space, and provide development incentives to meet conservation goals established by the City of Muskego.
D. 
Overlay districts. Overlay or "floating" districts are also established which provide for the possibility of superimposing upon a basic district certain additional permissive uses and regulatory standards applicable thereto without disturbing the underlying basic district regulations. The basic intent is similar to that upon which conditional use grants are premised and in effect represents the granting of specifically defined special use rights in specifically defined areas.
E. 
Traditional Neighborhood Development Overlay District. The traditional neighborhood development section is an alternative set of standards for development within the City and may apply to new developments or redevelopments of at least four acres in total area, under the auspices of a PD Planned Development District.
F. 
Wellhead Protection Overlay District. Wellhead protection districts are intended to discourage land use practices and activities which may threaten or degrade groundwater quality. The City of Muskego's municipal water supply and well fields and private wellhead protection areas are delineated in a wellhead protection plan accepted by the City.
G. 
Organization of district regulations. For convenience and readability the uses as permitted in each district and the supplementary regulations thereto are presented in a summary form consisting of the following:
(1) 
A statement of intent interpreting the intended purpose of the specific district classification.
(2) 
The specific numeric requirements of the provisions of this code made applicable to the district. In case of an overlay district the requirements listed apply to the uses permitted by virtue of the overlay and do not alter the application of the underlying district regulations to the uses permitted therein.
(3) 
A list of permitted uses with a reference to related provisions of this chapter.
