Sec. 42-79.- Zoning map.

(a)

District map. The boundaries of said districts are shown on a map designated as the zoning map of the village and is made part of this chapter. All notations, references and other information shown thereon shall be as much a part of this chapter as if the matters and information set forth by said map were all fully described herein. The map shall be kept on file in the offices of the village and the copy attached hereto is correct only as of the date of publication and is for general informational purposes only.

(b)

Determination of boundaries. In determining the exact boundaries of the various districts as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

(1)

Unless otherwise specifically indicated on the map, the district boundaries are lot lines; section, quarter section or sixteenth section lines; the centerlines of streets, highways, railways, or alleys; and where the districts designated on the map are bounded approximately by such lines, they shall be construed to be the boundary of such district.

(2)

The boundaries of conservancy districts as drawn are intended to represent the edge of swamp, marsh, and floodland or the high water line along a stream or watercourse and shall be finally determined by the village plan commission and village board by the actual field conditions in each specific situation. Boundaries of conservancy districts that include wetlands shall be field staked by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission or village-approved botanist and placed on a map by a registered land surveyor.

In all other cases not covered by the foregoing, the boundaries shall be determined by use of the scale of the zoning map.

(Amend. of 1-9-2025)

Sec. 42-80.- C-1 Conservancy Overlay District.

(a)

Purpose. The primary purpose of this overlay district, as mapped or intended to be mapped, is to preserve, protect, and enhance the streams, intermittent streams, and wetland areas in the village. If an infield determination finds that all or a portion of a property within the C-1 Conservancy Overlay District is erroneously mapped, the field-determined boundaries shall immediately become subject to the applicable district regulations. The regulation of this C-1 Conservancy Overlay District will serve to maintain and improve water quality, both groundwater and surface water; prevent flood damage; protect wildlife habitat; prohibit the location of structures, except as noted below, on soils which are generally not suitable for such use; protect natural watersheds; protect existing natural woodlands; and protect the natural recreational resources of the village.

(b)

Use regulations.

(1)

State department of natural resources and Army Corps of Engineer permits must be obtained for all private driveways and bridges located in the conservancy district.

(3)

Conditional uses. Commercial and residential ponds, et al.

(c)

Location, height and area. Building location, height regulations, and area requirements are based on the underlying zoning district.

(d)

Structures and buildings. None permitted, unless accessory to the principal use and a conditional use permit for the structure or building has been approved. No structure or building shall be utilized for human habitation.

(Amend. of 1-9-2025)

Sec. 42-81.- EC Environmental Corridor Overlay District.

(a)

Purpose. The primary purpose of this overlay district, as mapped or intended to be mapped, includes non-wetland/floodplain primary or secondary environmental corridors and isolated natural resource areas, as defined herein, and is intended to be used to preserve, protect, enhance, and restore significant woodlands, upland wildlife habitat areas, scenic overlooks, slopes exceeding 12 percent, and upland wooded areas, while also affording an opportunity to use the site for the limited residential purposes. Where questions arise as to the exact location of boundary of an environmental corridor, the extent and location of such corridor shall be finally determined by infield investigation by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) biologist (or his designee). If an infield determination finds that all or a portion of a property within the EC Environmental Corridor Overlay District is erroneously mapped, the field-determined boundaries shall immediately become subject to the applicable district regulations.

(b)

Use regulations.

(1)

Permitted uses.

a.

Any use permitted in the C-1 Conservancy Overlay District.

b.

One-family dwellings.

c.

Home occupations and professional offices, as defined in this chapter, when incident to the residential use and when situated in the same dwelling.

(2)

Conditional uses. Commercial and residential ponds, et al.

(c)

Location, height and area. Building location, height regulations, and area requirements are based on the underlying zoning district.

(d)

Lot size.

a.

Minimum parcel size. Five acres, except that for EC lands that lie within a larger parcel or tract of land, the remainder of which is zoned in any other district, said parcel shall comply with the minimum lot size and lot width requirement of the non EC district. Parcels or tracts of land which lie partially within and partially outside of the EC Environmental Corridor Overlay District, the area of disturbances shall be limited to the area outside of the EC Environmental Corridor Overlay District, excluding any means required to access the area outside of the EC Environmental Corridor Overlay District. (i.e., driveway access), unless otherwise expressly permitted by a building envelope shown on the certified survey map, subdivision plat or other deed restriction subject to review and written approval of the village board and recorded with the county register of deeds office.

b.

Minimum width. 300 feet.

(Amend. of 1-9-2025)

Sec. 42-82.- HG High Groundwater Overlay District.

(a)

Application. This overlay district is intended to apply to those lands that are mapped as having hydric soil conditions (depth to groundwater of one foot or less) according to the Soil Survey of Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties published by the USDA Soil Conservation Service. Many of these lands contain wetlands and floodplains and, accordingly, are mapped with a C-1 Conservancy Overlay District designation. Other lands with such soil conditions are presently in agricultural use by virtue of either cultivation, pasture or in some other way, and which if they were not being used for agricultural purposes, would be classified as conservancy lands due to inherent wet soil characteristics and the presence of natural vegetation indicative of wet soils.

(b)

Purpose. The intent of this overlay district is to preserve and maintain agricultural or open space uses on lands suited for such purposes. These lands are generally poorly suited for urban or suburban development, while lands outside of wetlands are typically better suited for some type of agricultural use. In this overlay district structures related to farm operations, including existing dwellings, are deemed consistent with the purpose and intent of this section where the location of buildings associated with the permitted agricultural operation are found to conform with health, sanitation and safety provisions of this and any other state regulation or local ordinance. The intent for mapping purposes is that lands within this overlay district shall have exhibited agricultural uses in the past. It is not the intent of this section to promote or permit the conversion of wetlands.

(c)

District. Where on-site evaluation of soil conditions by a certified soil scientist reveals that soils mapped by the USDA as being hydric are found to be erroneously mapped, the land zoned HG High Groundwater Overlay District shall immediately become subject to the district regulations of the zoning district that is mapped on the balance of the property. If no other zoning district has previously been established on another part of the parcel, the lands shall be zoned as used administratively by the village zoning administrator.

(d)

Use regulations. The following use regulations shall apply in the HG district:

(1)

Permitted uses: Any use permitted in the EC Environmental Overlay District.

(2)

Conditional uses: Commercial and residential ponds, et al.

(e)

Location, height and area. Building location, height regulations, and area requirements are based on the underlying zoning district.

(f)

Lot size.

(1)

Minimum parcel size: Five acres, except that for HG lands that lie within a larger parcel or tract of land, the remainder of which is zoned in any other district, said parcel shall comply with the minimum lot size and lot width requirement of the non-HG district.

(2)

Minimum width: 300 feet.

(Amend. of 1-9-2025)

Sec. 42-82.5.- SHO Shoreland Zoning Overlay District.

(a)

Statutory authorization, findings of fact, statement of purpose and title.

(1)

Statutory authorization. This ordinance is adopted pursuant to the authorization in Wis. Stats. §§ 61.35 and 61.353.

(2)

Finding of fact and purpose. Uncontrolled use of shorelands and pollution of the navigable waters of the village would adversely affect the public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare and impair the tax base. The Legislature of Wisconsin has delegated responsibility to all municipalities to:

a.

Promote the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare;

b.

Limit certain land use activities detrimental to shorelands; and

c.

Preserve shore cover and natural beauty by controlling the location of structures in shoreland areas.

(b)

General provisions.

(1)

Compliance. The use of shorelands within the shoreland area of the village shall be in full compliance with the terms of this ordinance and other applicable local, state or federal regulations. All permitted development shall require the issuance of a zoning permit unless otherwise expressly excluded by a provision of this ordinance.

(2)

Municipalities and state agencies regulated. Unless specifically exempted by law, all cities, villages, towns, and counties are required to comply with this ordinance and obtain all necessary permits. State agencies are required to comply if Wis. Stat. § 13.48(13) applies.

(3)

Abrogation and greater restrictions.

a.

This ordinance supersedes all the provisions of any other applicable village ordinance except that where another village ordinance is more restrictive than this ordinance, that ordinance shall continue in full force and effect to the extent of the greater restrictions, but not otherwise.

b.

This ordinance is not intended to repeal, abrogate or impair any existing deed restrictions, covenants or easements. However, where this ordinance imposes greater restrictions, the provisions of this ordinance shall prevail.

(4)

Interpretation. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this ordinance shall be held to be minimum requirements and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Village and shall not be deemed a limitation or repeal of any other powers granted by the Wisconsin Statutes or Wisconsin Constitution.

(5)

Severability. Should any portion of this ordinance be declared invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this ordinance shall not be affected.

(6)

Applicability of shoreland regulations. The Shoreland Zoning District regulations apply only to the following shorelands:

a.

A shoreland that was annexed by the Village of Waukesha after May 7, 1982, and that prior to annexation was subject to a county shoreland zoning ordinance under Wis. Stat. § 59.692; and

b.

A shoreland that before incorporation by the Village of Waukesha was part of a town that was subject to a county shoreland zoning ordinance under Wis. Stat. § 59.692 if the date of incorporation was after April 30, 1994.

(6.1)

District boundaries. The Shoreland District areas regulated by this ordinance shall include all the lands (referred to herein as shorelands) in the Village of Waukesha that are:

a.

Within 1,000 feet of the ordinary highwater mark of navigable lakes, ponds or flowages. Lakes, ponds or flowages shall be presumed to be navigable if they are listed in the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Surface Water Data viewer available on the DNR website, or are shown on United States Geological Survey quadrangle maps or other zoning base maps.

b.

Within 300 feet of the ordinary highwater mark of navigable rivers or streams, or to the landward side of the floodplain, whichever distance is greater. Rivers and streams shall be presumed to be navigable if they are designated as continuous waterways or intermittent waterways on United States Geological Survey quadrangle maps. Flood hazard boundary maps, flood insurance rate maps, flood boundary-floodway maps, county soil survey maps or other existing county floodplain zoning maps shall be used to delineate floodplain areas.

c.

Determinations of navigability and ordinary highwater mark location shall initially be made by the zoning administrator. When questions arise, the zoning administrator shall contact the appropriate district office of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for a final determination of navigability or ordinary highwater mark.

d.

Pursuant to Wis. Stats. §§ 61.353(7) or 62.233, the Shoreland Zoning District does not include lands adjacent to an artificially constructed drainage ditch, pond, or retention basin if the drainage ditch, pond or retention basin is not hydrologically connected to a natural navigable water body.

(6.2)

Effect of existing land division, sanitary, zoning and other regulations. The lands within the Shoreland Zoning District are subject to all applicable provisions of the Village of Waukesha Code of Ordinances. Where the provisions of this ordinance are more restrictive than other regulations in the Code of Ordinances, the provisions of this ordinance shall apply.

(c)

Setbacks from water.

(1)

Building and structure setbacks. All buildings and structures shall be set back at least 75 feet from the ordinary high water mark, except as follows:

If the walkway is proposed in an area designated as wetland, the walkway shall be constructed on pilings. If the walkway is proposed in an area designated as floodplain, it shall comply with the standards in the village floodplain ordinance.

e.

Utility transmission and distribution lines, poles, towers, water towers, pumping stations, well pump house covers, private on-site wastewater treatment systems that comply with Ch. SPS 383, Wis. Admin. Code, and other utility structures that have no feasible alternative location outside of the minimum setback and that employ best management practices to infiltrate or otherwise control stormwater runoff from the structure.

f.

Devices or systems used to treat runoff from impervious surfaces.

g.

Principal building setback averaging. Where there is a development pattern with principal structures having shore setbacks less than 75 feet from the ordinary high water mark of a navigable waterway, the setback requirements for principal structures shall be allowed to be reduced in accordance with the following setback averaging formulas:

1.

Where there are existing principal structures on each side, the shore setback shall equal the average of the distances that the two existing principal structures are set back from the ordinary high water mark.

(i)

Both of the existing principal structures are located on an adjacent lot to the proposed principal structure.

(ii)

Both of the existing principal structures are located within 250 feet of the proposed principal structure and are the closest principal structures.

(iii)

Both of the existing principal structures are located less than 75 feet from the ordinary high water mark.

(iv)

The average setback shall not be reduced to less than 35 feet from the ordinary high water mark of any navigable waterway.

2.

Where there is an existing principal structure on only one side, the setback shall equal the distance that the existing principal structure is set back from the ordinary high water mark and the required setback of 75 feet from the ordinary high water mark provided all of the following are met:

(i)

The existing principal structure is located on an adjacent lot to the proposed principal structure.

(ii)

The existing principal structure is located within 250 feet of the proposed principal structure and is the closest structure.

(iii)

The existing principal structure is less than 75 feet from the ordinary high water mark.

(iv)

The average setback shall not be reduced to less than 35 feet from the ordinary high water mark of any navigable waterway.

3.

In applying these shore setback averaging formulas to a proposed principal structure, the shore setback measurements shall be taken from other principal structures only and the measurements shall not be from any immediately adjacent structures, such as decks, patios, retaining walls, swimming pools or sports courts.

4.

In applying these shore setback averaging formulas to a proposed functional appurtenance, such as a deck or patio, which is immediately adjacent to the principal structure, the shore setback measurements may be taken from other principal structures.

(d)

Vegetative removal.

(1)

The area parallel to the ordinary high water mark and extending 35 feet inland from all points along the ordinary high water mark of a navigable waterway is considered a vegetation buffer zone and the removal of vegetation is prohibited, except as follows:
