- CONDITIONAL USES
(a)
Approval required: Certain uses and situations are of such a special nature or are so dependent upon actual contemporary circumstances that it is impractical to predetermine the permissibility of such uses or to detail in this chapter all of the specific standards, regulations or conditions which would permit such uses in each individual situation. Such uses may, however, be permitted as conditional uses. The applicant for a conditional use must demonstrate that the application and all requirements and conditions established by the Village relating to the conditional use are, or shall be satisfied, both of which must be supported by substantial evidence. The Village's decision to approve or deny any such conditional use permit will be based upon substantial evidence presented at a public hearing. Only those uses specifically listed herein can be granted a conditional use. Any other uses not specifically listed shall require an amendment to this Code to be considered by the Plan Commission and Village Board.
(b)
Basis for approval: The determination of whether to approve or deny or conditionally approve such conditional use shall be made by the Village Board, upon receipt of a recommendation from the Plan Commission, and shall be based on substantial evidence. Substantial evidence means facts and information, other than merely personal preferences or speculation, directly pertaining to the requirements and conditions an applicant must meet to obtain a conditional use permit and that reasonable persons would accept in support of a conclusion. Any condition imposed by the Village must relate to the purpose of the ordinance, be reasonable, and to the extent practicable, measurable. Conditions shall be established to ensure that the proposed use will not:
(1)
Violate the spirit or intent of the Village of Raymond Comprehensive Plan or this Code.
(2)
Be contrary to the public health, safety or general welfare.
(3)
Be hazardous, harmful, noxious, offensive or a nuisance by reason of appearance, noise, dust, smoke, odor or other similar factors.
(Ord. No. 2024-6-24, 10-28-2024)
(a)
Application: Application for conditional use permits may be made by an individual property owner, group of owners, by a municipality, or similar agency on behalf of a larger property area where said proposal may benefit a larger group or entire community. Application shall be made to the Village Zoning Administrator and shall include:
(1)
Completed conditional use application form available from the Village Zoning Administrator.
(2)
An accurate legal description of the property by lot, block, recorded subdivision, or metes and bounds.
(3)
A site plan and plan of operation in accordance with Article 4.
(4)
Additional information as may be required by the Zoning Administrator, Village Engineer, Village Attorney, the Village Plan Commission, or Village Board.
(5)
A fee, as may be established by the Village Board and periodically modified, shall accompany each application. Such fees shall be paid to the Village of Raymond to defray the cost of official notification and posting of the public hearing. Cost incurred by the Village in obtaining legal, planning, engineering, publication, and notice requirements, and other technical and professional advice in connection with review of the conditional use applications and preparation of conditions to be imposed on such uses, shall be charged to the applicant, and, if required by the Village, a professional services reimbursement agreement form covering the costs shall accompany the application.
(6)
Where necessary, to comply with certain regulations established by applicable laws, applications shall be required to be submitted to the other governmental bodies having jurisdiction which may include the State Department of Natural Resources, the United States Army Corps of Engineers, and/or Racine County.
(b)
Public hearing:
(1)
Upon receipt of the application, the foregoing data and fees, the Village Zoning Administrator shall establish a date for a public hearing by the Village Board, and shall publish notice of said hearing twice, with the last publication being one week prior to the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the proposed conditional use. The Village Zoning Administrator, or designee, shall give notice of the public hearing by first-class mail to the owners of all lands within 500 feet of any part of the land included in such conditional use at least 10 days before such public hearing. If the applicant is a governmental entity or group of property owners and the area affected by the proposed conditional use is so large such that the Village Board finds the first-class-mail notice to the owners within 500 feet to be unnecessarily burdensome, the Village Board may waive the first-class-mail notice requirement.
(2)
A copy of the notice of public hearing along with pertinent information relative to the specific nature of the matter (copy of application and map) shall be transmitted without delay to any other governmental agencies having jurisdiction by first-class mail not less than seven days prior to the date of the public hearing. Testimony of all interested parties will be received at the public hearing and the Village Plan Commission, following the public hearing date, shall take action within a reasonable time to either recommend approval or denial of the application along with any recommended conditions of approval or reasons for recommending denial to the Village Board.
(c)
Determination: Final review and approval. The Village Plan Commission shall provide a recommendation on the proposal as submitted along with requirements as may be established or recommended by other governing bodies having jurisdiction. The Village Board, upon receipt of a recommendation from the Plan Commission, shall approve or deny the application. If the Village Board approves the conditional use, any conditions imposed by the Village shall be made an integral part of the conditional use permit. The applicant shall comply with these conditions, and any failure to comply with the conditions set forth in the conditional use permit shall constitute a violation of the terms of the conditional use permit. Such violation shall constitute a violation of this Code and will be subject to prosecution and penalties under the terms of this Code.
(d)
Time limitations: Conditional use permits shall expire within nine (9) months unless substantial work has commenced pursuant to such approval.
(Ord. No. 2024-6-24, 10-28-2024)

(b)
Modification of regulations.
(1)
Requirements applicable to uses permitted by right or as accessory uses in any district by the regulations of this ordinance may be modified or waived by the Plan Commission in their application to a conditional use if in the Commission's opinion they are not appropriate or necessary to the proper regulation of the conditional use, and where such modification or waiver would not in the Commission's opinion result in adverse effect upon surrounding properties.
(c)
Modification of existing conditional use permit.
(1)
Should the conditions of the area in which a conditional use exists change such that the conditional use allowed by the permit presents an imminent and substantial threat to public health, safety, or property, the committee may review such conditional use permit upon notification and hearing as set forth in this chapter. Any review conducted hereunder shall be limited to revision of the permit to eliminate the threat(s) to public health, safety, or property. Revision of the permit may include addition and/or deletion of specific conditions.
(2)
The Zoning Administrator and/or the Plan Commission may make decisions if a conditional use permit change request constitutes a substantial change that requires new public hearing and Plan Commission approval.

At the hearing, the Plan Commission shall hear and receive information or recommendations presented by the Planning staff and/or its consultants, information presented by the applicant or the applicant's authorized agents and consultants, and information presented by members of the public. If the Plan Commission determines that additional time or information is required, the public hearing may be continued from time to time at the direction of the Commission. The applicant shall be given an opportunity to respond to any adverse information or recommendation.
1.
Decision. After the hearing, the Plan Commission and Board shall either grant or deny the permit application on the basis of express findings and conclusions. The Plan Commission and Board shall condition any permit granted upon compliance with specified operational and reclamation requirements, including the minimum requirements of this section and the requirements of all other applicable Village and county ordinances, except as such requirements may be appropriately modified by the Commission, and the requirements of all other applicable federal, state and local statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances and permits relating to blasting, mining, land use, highway access, air pollution, water pollution, contamination of the ground, solid waste disposal, navigable waters, groundwater, wetlands, floodplains, shorelands and other environmental matters. The Commission may impose requirements which are in addition to, or more stringent than, the minimum requirements of this section. In granting a permit, the Commission shall specify all aspects of the proposed plan of operations and plan of reclamation which are not approved. No application shall be granted unless the Commission first finds that the approved operations, as conditioned, will result in no significant loss, harm or damage to neighboring property owners, to the Village, or to the public health, safety or welfare, nor serious risk of any such loss, harm or damage, and that the approved reclamation will result in a safe, useful and aesthetically pleasing site. In deciding upon an application regarding an operation that preexisted the effective date of this section and was active on the effective date of this section, the Plan Commission shall take into account the nature, extent, circumstances and past performance of the operation and shall modify the requirements of this section to the extent necessary to ensure that the permit requirements are reasonable under the particular circumstances.

Such an application shall be processed in the same manner as an initial permit application. In the event that a timely renewal application is not decided by the expiration date of the permit, the permit shall be deemed to be extended to the date of the Commission's decision.
4.
Amendment. In the event that the operator desires to make any material modification in the permitted operation or reclamation, the operator shall file with the Village Clerk an application for an amendment to the permit. Such application shall describe in detail the proposed modification, explain the effects of the proposed modification, supplement and update the information and materials submitted with the prior application and make the certification required for renewal applications. Such an application shall be processed in the same manner as an initial permit application.
5.
Review and monitoring fees. The applicant shall pay a fee equal to the cost of any administrative, legal, engineering or consultant work which may be undertaken by the Village in the review of a quarrying or nonmetallic mining permit application. Such fee may include the cost of any monitoring activity set forth as a condition of the permit issued.
6.
Security. As a condition of any permit issued pursuant to this section, the Plan Commission and Board shall require, and the operator shall promptly deposit with the Village, an irrevocable letter of credit, cash, a bond or other security in an amount adequate to secure the obligation of the operator to restore the site to a safe, useful and aesthetically pleasing condition, in accordance with the approved restoration plan, to the extent of the mining operations if the operations were abandoned during the term of the permit. Any security instrument shall be in a form satisfactory to the Village Attorney and shall be issued by a person satisfactory to the Village Attorney. Any cash deposited with the Village shall be deposited in a segregated interest-bearing account and shall be used only for the required restoration. Any security shall be promptly released or returned to the operator, with any accrued interest, at the completion of the approved reclamation to the satisfaction of the Plan Commission. The termination, expiration or modification of a security instrument, in the absence of a renewal or replacement thereof or the making of other arrangements satisfactory to the Plan Commission after review by the Village Attorney, shall be grounds for suspension of the operator's permit.
7.
Transfer. Permits issued under this section may be transferred only with the prior written approval of the Plan Commission. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, but the Commission shall not approve any transfer in the absence of satisfactory arrangements regarding security and the prompt correction of any prior failure to comply with permit requirements.

- CONDITIONAL USES
(a)
Approval required: Certain uses and situations are of such a special nature or are so dependent upon actual contemporary circumstances that it is impractical to predetermine the permissibility of such uses or to detail in this chapter all of the specific standards, regulations or conditions which would permit such uses in each individual situation. Such uses may, however, be permitted as conditional uses. The applicant for a conditional use must demonstrate that the application and all requirements and conditions established by the Village relating to the conditional use are, or shall be satisfied, both of which must be supported by substantial evidence. The Village's decision to approve or deny any such conditional use permit will be based upon substantial evidence presented at a public hearing. Only those uses specifically listed herein can be granted a conditional use. Any other uses not specifically listed shall require an amendment to this Code to be considered by the Plan Commission and Village Board.
(b)
Basis for approval: The determination of whether to approve or deny or conditionally approve such conditional use shall be made by the Village Board, upon receipt of a recommendation from the Plan Commission, and shall be based on substantial evidence. Substantial evidence means facts and information, other than merely personal preferences or speculation, directly pertaining to the requirements and conditions an applicant must meet to obtain a conditional use permit and that reasonable persons would accept in support of a conclusion. Any condition imposed by the Village must relate to the purpose of the ordinance, be reasonable, and to the extent practicable, measurable. Conditions shall be established to ensure that the proposed use will not:
(1)
Violate the spirit or intent of the Village of Raymond Comprehensive Plan or this Code.
(2)
Be contrary to the public health, safety or general welfare.
(3)
Be hazardous, harmful, noxious, offensive or a nuisance by reason of appearance, noise, dust, smoke, odor or other similar factors.
(Ord. No. 2024-6-24, 10-28-2024)
(a)
Application: Application for conditional use permits may be made by an individual property owner, group of owners, by a municipality, or similar agency on behalf of a larger property area where said proposal may benefit a larger group or entire community. Application shall be made to the Village Zoning Administrator and shall include:
(1)
Completed conditional use application form available from the Village Zoning Administrator.
(2)
An accurate legal description of the property by lot, block, recorded subdivision, or metes and bounds.
(3)
A site plan and plan of operation in accordance with Article 4.
(4)
Additional information as may be required by the Zoning Administrator, Village Engineer, Village Attorney, the Village Plan Commission, or Village Board.
(5)
A fee, as may be established by the Village Board and periodically modified, shall accompany each application. Such fees shall be paid to the Village of Raymond to defray the cost of official notification and posting of the public hearing. Cost incurred by the Village in obtaining legal, planning, engineering, publication, and notice requirements, and other technical and professional advice in connection with review of the conditional use applications and preparation of conditions to be imposed on such uses, shall be charged to the applicant, and, if required by the Village, a professional services reimbursement agreement form covering the costs shall accompany the application.
(6)
Where necessary, to comply with certain regulations established by applicable laws, applications shall be required to be submitted to the other governmental bodies having jurisdiction which may include the State Department of Natural Resources, the United States Army Corps of Engineers, and/or Racine County.
(b)
Public hearing:
(1)
Upon receipt of the application, the foregoing data and fees, the Village Zoning Administrator shall establish a date for a public hearing by the Village Board, and shall publish notice of said hearing twice, with the last publication being one week prior to the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the proposed conditional use. The Village Zoning Administrator, or designee, shall give notice of the public hearing by first-class mail to the owners of all lands within 500 feet of any part of the land included in such conditional use at least 10 days before such public hearing. If the applicant is a governmental entity or group of property owners and the area affected by the proposed conditional use is so large such that the Village Board finds the first-class-mail notice to the owners within 500 feet to be unnecessarily burdensome, the Village Board may waive the first-class-mail notice requirement.
(2)
A copy of the notice of public hearing along with pertinent information relative to the specific nature of the matter (copy of application and map) shall be transmitted without delay to any other governmental agencies having jurisdiction by first-class mail not less than seven days prior to the date of the public hearing. Testimony of all interested parties will be received at the public hearing and the Village Plan Commission, following the public hearing date, shall take action within a reasonable time to either recommend approval or denial of the application along with any recommended conditions of approval or reasons for recommending denial to the Village Board.
(c)
Determination: Final review and approval. The Village Plan Commission shall provide a recommendation on the proposal as submitted along with requirements as may be established or recommended by other governing bodies having jurisdiction. The Village Board, upon receipt of a recommendation from the Plan Commission, shall approve or deny the application. If the Village Board approves the conditional use, any conditions imposed by the Village shall be made an integral part of the conditional use permit. The applicant shall comply with these conditions, and any failure to comply with the conditions set forth in the conditional use permit shall constitute a violation of the terms of the conditional use permit. Such violation shall constitute a violation of this Code and will be subject to prosecution and penalties under the terms of this Code.
(d)
Time limitations: Conditional use permits shall expire within nine (9) months unless substantial work has commenced pursuant to such approval.
(Ord. No. 2024-6-24, 10-28-2024)

Requirements applicable to uses permitted by right or as accessory uses in any district by the regulations of this ordinance may be modified or waived by the Plan Commission in their application to a conditional use if in the Commission's opinion they are not appropriate or necessary to the proper regulation of the conditional use, and where such modification or waiver would not in the Commission's opinion result in adverse effect upon surrounding properties.
(c)
Modification of existing conditional use permit.
(1)
Should the conditions of the area in which a conditional use exists change such that the conditional use allowed by the permit presents an imminent and substantial threat to public health, safety, or property, the committee may review such conditional use permit upon notification and hearing as set forth in this chapter. Any review conducted hereunder shall be limited to revision of the permit to eliminate the threat(s) to public health, safety, or property. Revision of the permit may include addition and/or deletion of specific conditions.
(2)
The Zoning Administrator and/or the Plan Commission may make decisions if a conditional use permit change request constitutes a substantial change that requires new public hearing and Plan Commission approval.

At the hearing, the Plan Commission shall hear and receive information or recommendations presented by the Planning staff and/or its consultants, information presented by the applicant or the applicant's authorized agents and consultants, and information presented by members of the public. If the Plan Commission determines that additional time or information is required, the public hearing may be continued from time to time at the direction of the Commission. The applicant shall be given an opportunity to respond to any adverse information or recommendation.
1.
Decision. After the hearing, the Plan Commission and Board shall either grant or deny the permit application on the basis of express findings and conclusions. The Plan Commission and Board shall condition any permit granted upon compliance with specified operational and reclamation requirements, including the minimum requirements of this section and the requirements of all other applicable Village and county ordinances, except as such requirements may be appropriately modified by the Commission, and the requirements of all other applicable federal, state and local statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances and permits relating to blasting, mining, land use, highway access, air pollution, water pollution, contamination of the ground, solid waste disposal, navigable waters, groundwater, wetlands, floodplains, shorelands and other environmental matters. The Commission may impose requirements which are in addition to, or more stringent than, the minimum requirements of this section. In granting a permit, the Commission shall specify all aspects of the proposed plan of operations and plan of reclamation which are not approved. No application shall be granted unless the Commission first finds that the approved operations, as conditioned, will result in no significant loss, harm or damage to neighboring property owners, to the Village, or to the public health, safety or welfare, nor serious risk of any such loss, harm or damage, and that the approved reclamation will result in a safe, useful and aesthetically pleasing site. In deciding upon an application regarding an operation that preexisted the effective date of this section and was active on the effective date of this section, the Plan Commission shall take into account the nature, extent, circumstances and past performance of the operation and shall modify the requirements of this section to the extent necessary to ensure that the permit requirements are reasonable under the particular circumstances.

Such an application shall be processed in the same manner as an initial permit application. In the event that a timely renewal application is not decided by the expiration date of the permit, the permit shall be deemed to be extended to the date of the Commission's decision.
4.
Amendment. In the event that the operator desires to make any material modification in the permitted operation or reclamation, the operator shall file with the Village Clerk an application for an amendment to the permit. Such application shall describe in detail the proposed modification, explain the effects of the proposed modification, supplement and update the information and materials submitted with the prior application and make the certification required for renewal applications. Such an application shall be processed in the same manner as an initial permit application.
5.
Review and monitoring fees. The applicant shall pay a fee equal to the cost of any administrative, legal, engineering or consultant work which may be undertaken by the Village in the review of a quarrying or nonmetallic mining permit application. Such fee may include the cost of any monitoring activity set forth as a condition of the permit issued.
6.
Security. As a condition of any permit issued pursuant to this section, the Plan Commission and Board shall require, and the operator shall promptly deposit with the Village, an irrevocable letter of credit, cash, a bond or other security in an amount adequate to secure the obligation of the operator to restore the site to a safe, useful and aesthetically pleasing condition, in accordance with the approved restoration plan, to the extent of the mining operations if the operations were abandoned during the term of the permit. Any security instrument shall be in a form satisfactory to the Village Attorney and shall be issued by a person satisfactory to the Village Attorney. Any cash deposited with the Village shall be deposited in a segregated interest-bearing account and shall be used only for the required restoration. Any security shall be promptly released or returned to the operator, with any accrued interest, at the completion of the approved reclamation to the satisfaction of the Plan Commission. The termination, expiration or modification of a security instrument, in the absence of a renewal or replacement thereof or the making of other arrangements satisfactory to the Plan Commission after review by the Village Attorney, shall be grounds for suspension of the operator's permit.
7.
Transfer. Permits issued under this section may be transferred only with the prior written approval of the Plan Commission. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, but the Commission shall not approve any transfer in the absence of satisfactory arrangements regarding security and the prompt correction of any prior failure to comply with permit requirements.
