The area located within the jurisdiction of this title is hereby divided into zoning districts of such number as is necessary to achieve compatibility of land uses within each district, to implement the City of Wausau Comprehensive Plan, and to achieve the other purposes of this title.

For the purpose of this title, all areas within the jurisdiction of this title are hereby divided into the following standard zoning districts.

(Ord. No. 61-5883, § 2, 5-11-2021)

Zoning districts established by this title are shown on the Official Zoning Map of the City of Wausau, which together with all explanatory materials thereon, is hereby made part of this title.

The following rules shall be used to determine the precise location of any zoning district boundary shown on the Official Zoning Map of the City of Wausau:

(1)

Zoning district boundaries shown as following or approximately following the limits of any City, town, or county boundary shall be construed as following such limits.

(2)

Zoning district boundaries shown as following or approximately following streets or railroad lines shall be construed as following the centerline of such streets or railroad lines.

(3)

Zoning district boundary lines shown as following or approximately following platted lot lines or other property lines as shown on the City of Wausau or Marathon County tax maps shall be construed as following such lines.

(4)

Zoning district boundaries shown as following or approximately following the centerlines of streams, rivers, or other continuously flowing watercourses shall be construed as following the channel centerlines of such watercourses, and, in the event of a natural change in the location of such streams, rivers, or other watercourses, the zoning district boundary shall be construed as moving with the channel centerline.

(5)

Zoning district boundaries shown as following or approximately following ridgelines or watershed boundaries shall be construed as following such lines.

(6)

Zoning district boundaries shown as separated from, any of the features listed in paragraphs (1) through (5), above, shall be construed to be at such distances there from as are shown on the Official Zoning Map.

(7)

Where any uncertainty exists as to the exact location of a zoning district boundary line, as shown on the Official Zoning Map, the location of the line shall be determined by the Zoning Administrator.

(8)

Land that is annexed into the City of Wausau shall be automatically zoned to the SR-2 Single-family Residential-2 Zoning District unless a concurrent petition to zone the property to another zoning district is submitted, following the procedures in section 23.10.31 of the City's Zoning Ordinance.

Density, intensity, and bulk regulations for the (RH-35) Rural Holding District.

*Note: This district is designed to allow the property owner to create one new lot (with a minimum lot area of 20,000 square feet and a maximum lot area of two acres) from a "parent lot" of between one and 70 acres. The new lot may include the existing residence, allowing the rest of the undeveloped original lot to be sold. The required maximum residential density of one dwelling per 35 acres is intended to retain agricultural or other rural uses until urban services are available to enable a zoning map amendment to a development-oriented zoning district.

Density, intensity, and bulk regulations for the (EX) Extraction/Disposal District.

(1)

Purpose. The purpose of this article is to establish overlay zoning districts wherein certain additional requirements are superimposed on the underlying standard zoning districts set forth above in this title. Each overlay district is intended to address a special land use circumstance beyond those addressed by the underlying zoning district. Special requirements include protections against natural hazards, protections of valued natural and cultural resources, and guidelines for unique development situations. Any nonconforming situation (lot, use, structure, and/or site) shall adhere to the provisions of article V.

(2)

How to use sections 23.02.80 to 23.02.93.

(a)

A given property may lie within one or more overlay zoning district based on its geographic location. The provisions of this article are intended to be consulted before issuance of any building permit, site plan approval, conditional use permit, zoning permit, zoning change, or land division to ensure the intended use meets all of the requirements of any applicable overlay district, in addition to the underlying standard zoning district. For each overlay district established in this article, a definition of the resource or geographic area is provided, followed by the specific purposes of the protective regulations governing the resource or geographic location, the method of delineating the boundaries of the overlay district, and the development regulations.

(3)

For the purpose of this title, the following overlay zoning districts are hereby established.

(a)

(PUD) Planned Unit Development Overlay Zoning District.

(b)

(SW) Shoreland-Wetland Overlay District.

(c)

(F) Floodplain Overlay District.

(d)

(W) Well Head Protection Overlay District.

(e)

(RE) River Edge Overlay District.

(f)

(WD) Woodland Overlay District.

(4)

Map of Overlay Zoning Districts.

(a)

Except where otherwise indicated in this article, the overlay zoning districts are represented on the Official Zoning Map, adopted and from time to time amended by the City of Wausau.

(1)

Purpose. The purpose of this overlay district is to provide for the possible relaxation of certain development standards pertaining to the underlying standard zoning district. In exchange for such flexibility, it is anticipated that development within a Planned Unit Development Overlay District will reflect the City's planning policies as set forth in the City's Comprehensive Plan and offer one or more of the following advantages:

(a)

Positively contribute to the appearance and function of land uses and site design in the area

(b)

Promote a greater level of architectural quality and be compatible with other structures in the area

(c)

Conserve and protect environmentally sensitive areas, areas of natural beauty, and natural green spaces

(d)

Preserve the cultural and historic character and significance of existing structures or areas

(e)

Provide substantial buffers and transitions between incompatible land uses and densities

(f)

Reduce congestion on streets and improve pedestrian and bicycle circulation

(g)

Development would not conflict with or cause overload on such facilities as schools, highways, police, fire, or utility services.

(h)

Insure proper maintenance and preservation of any common areas for recreation and esthetic enhancement.

(2)

Intent. Planned Unit Developments are intended to encourage, promote, and provide improved environmental design by allowing for greater freedom, imagination, and flexibility in the development of land, while ensuring substantial compliance with the basic intent of this title and the City of Wausau Comprehensive Plan. To this end, planned unit developments allow diversification and variation in the relationship of uses, structures, open spaces, and heights of structures in developments conceived and implemented as comprehensive and cohesive unified projects. The Planned Unit Development Overlay District shall allow development to be designed, reviewed, approved, constructed, and managed as approved by the Common Council rather than required by the underlying zoning district.

(a)

The City may permit flexibility in the types of uses, area and yard requirements, off-street parking, and/or other regulations set forth in this title by use of exceptions/base standard modifications subject to the demonstration of their appropriateness for the area under consideration.

(b)

It is not intended that the City will automatically grant exceptions/base standard modifications in a Planned Unit Development Overlay District, and it is expected the City will grant only such exceptions when they are consistent and comparable with benefits to the community that result from the Planned Unit Development.

(c)

The City may require, as conditions of approval, any reasonable stipulation, limitation, or design factor which will promote suitable development in the Planned Unit Development Overlay District.

(d)

A public hearing process is required to review a request for a Planned Unit Development. This process will essentially combine the process for a Zoning Map Amendment (for the General Development Plan (GDP) Step) with that required for a Conditional Use (for the Specific Implementation Plan (SIP) Step), with several additional requirements. See section 23.10.44 for the General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan requirements.

(3)

Provision of flexible development standards for Planned Unit Developments.

(a)

Permitted location.

1.

Planned Unit Developments shall be permitted with the approval of a Planned Unit Development Overlay Zoning District, specific to the approved Planned Unit Development, within all zoning districts.

(b)

Flexible development standards.

1.

The following exemptions to the development standards of the underlying zoning district may be provided with the approval of a Planned Unit Development.

a.

Land use requirements.

i.

All land uses listed as Residential Land Uses under 23.03.06, Institutional Land Uses under 23.03.12, Mixed-Use Buildings under 23.03.08, or Commercial Land Uses under 23.03.10 in article III may be permitted within a Planned Unit Development.

b.

Density, intensity, and bulk requirements.

i.

All requirements listed in article IV, bulk regulations and article II for density, intensity, and bulk regulations within the SR-2, SR-3, SR-5, SR-7, DR-8, TF-10, TDR-12, MRL-12, MRM-20, MRH-50, I, NMU, SO, SMU, UMU, DPMU, DHMU, and DRMU Zoning Districts may be waived within a Planned Unit Development.

c.

Landscaping requirements.

i.

All requirements listed in article VIII may be waived within a Planned Unit Development.

d.

Parking and loading requirements.

i.

All requirements listed in section 23.06.06 and 23.06.07 may be waived within a Planned Unit Development.

(4)

Applicability. Locations that may be deemed appropriate for a Planned Unit Development Overlay District include, but are not limited to:

(a)

Transitional locations that involve a mix of different land uses where new development is proposed in a location of preexisting uses and buildings

(b)

Infill locations in a developed area that involve parcels that may have been bypassed during the normal course of urbanization or that have been cleared

(c)

Redevelopment locations where first or subsequent uses and/or structures are to be replaced by new uses and/or structures

(d)

Development locations where base zoning standards may not be appropriate and/or needed, and where the developer and community will benefit from a greater level of flexibility in land use and bulk controls

(5)

[Reference for requirements.] See section 23.10.44 for the General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan requirements.

(6)

[Exempt.] Planned Unit Developments are exempt from the requirements of section 23.06.02 Group and Large Developments.

(1)

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

(a)

Statutory authorization. This ordinance is adopted pursuant to the authorization in Wis. Stats. §§ 61.35 and 61.351 for villages or Wis. Stats. §§ 62.23 and 62.231 for cities and Wis. Stats. §§ 87.30 and 144.26.

(b)

Findings of fact and purpose. Uncontrolled use of the shoreland-wetlands and pollution of the navigable waters of the municipality 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:

1.

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

2.

Maintain the storm and floodwater storage capacity of wetlands;

3.

Prevent and control water pollution by preserving wetlands which filter or store sediments, nutrients, heavy metals or organic compounds that would otherwise drain into navigable waters;

4.

Protect fish, their spawning grounds, other aquatic life and wildlife by preserving wetlands and other aquatic habitat;

5.

Prohibit certain uses detrimental to the shoreland-wetland area; and

6.

Preserve shore cover and natural beauty by restricting the removal of natural shoreland cover and controlling shoreland-wetland excavation, filling and other earth moving activities.

(2)

General provisions.

(a)

Compliance. The use of wetlands and the alteration of wetlands within the shoreland area of the municipality shall be in full compliance with the terms of this ordinance and other applicable local, state or federal regulations. (However, see 23.02.90(4), for the standards applicable to nonconforming uses.) All permitted development shall require the issuance of a zoning permit unless otherwise expressly excluded by a provision of this ordinance.

(b)

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. Stats. § 13.48(13), applies. The construction, reconstruction, maintenance and repair of state highways and bridges by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation are exempt when Wis. Stats. § 30.12(4)(a), applies.

(c)

Abrogation and greater restrictions.

1.

This ordinance supersedes all the provisions of any municipal zoning ordinance enacted under Wis. Stats. §§ 61.35, 62.23 or 87.30, which relate to floodplains and shoreland-wetlands, except that where another municipal zoning 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.

2.

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.

(d)

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 municipality and shall not be deemed a limitation or repeal of any other powers granted by the Wisconsin Statutes. Where a provision of this ordinance is required by a standard in chapter NR 117, Wis. Admin. Code, and where the ordinance provision is unclear, the provision shall be interpreted in light of the chapter NR 117 standards in effect on the date of the adoption of this ordinance or in effect on the date of the most recent text amendment to this ordinance.

(e)

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.

(f)

Annexed areas. The County shoreland zoning provisions in effect on the date of annexation remain in effect administered by the municipality for all areas annexed by the municipality after May 7, 1982 unless any of the changes as allowed by Wis. Stats. § 59.692(7)(a)(1—3) occurs. These annexed lands are described on the municipality's official zoning map. The County shoreland zoning provisions are incorporated by reference for the purpose of administering this section and are on file in the office of the Municipal Zoning Administrator.

(3)

District Boundaries.

[1.]

The Shoreland-Wetland Zoning District includes all wetlands in the municipality which are five acres or more and are shown on the final Wetland Inventory Map that has been adopted and made a part of this ordinance and which are:

a.

Within 1,000 feet of the ordinary high-water mark of navigable lakes, ponds or flowages. Lakes, ponds or flowages in the municipality shall be presumed to be navigable if they are shown on the United States Geological Survey quadrangle maps or other zoning base maps which have been incorporated by reference and made a part of this ordinance.

b.

Within 300 feet of the ordinary high-water 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 either continuous or intermittent waterways on the United States Geological Survey quadrangle maps or other zoning base maps which have been incorporated by reference and made a part of this ordinance. Floodplain zoning maps adopted in section 23.02.90(3)(a) above shall be used to determine the extent of floodplain areas.

2.

Determinations of navigability and ordinary high-water mark location shall initially be made by the Zoning Administrator. When questions arise, the Zoning Administrator shall contact the appropriate district office of the Department for a final determination of navigability or ordinary high-water mark. The following watercourses within the City, which appear as either continuous or intermittent waterways on the United States Geological Survey quadrangle maps, have been found by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to be nonnavigable:

a.

Bos Creek upstream from Campus Drive;

b.

Jim Moore Creek upstream east of the SW ¼ of Sec. 18, T29N, R8E.

3.

When an apparent discrepancy exists between the shoreland-wetland district boundary shown on the official zoning maps and actual field conditions at the time the maps were adopted, the Zoning Administrator shall contact the appropriate district office of the Department to determine if the shoreland-wetland district boundary as mapped, is in error. If Department staff concur with the Zoning Administrator that a particular area was incorrectly mapped as a wetland, the Zoning Administrator shall have the authority to immediately grant or deny a zoning permit in accordance with the regulations applicable to the correct zoning district. In order to correct wetland mapping errors or acknowledge exempted wetlands designated in section 23.02.90(3)(b)4. and (3)(b)5., the Zoning Administrator shall be responsible for initiating a map amendment within a reasonable period.

4.

Filled Wetlands. Wetlands which are filled prior to the date on which the municipality received final wetland inventory maps, in a manner which affects their wetland characteristics to the extent that the area can no longer be defined as wetland, are not subject to this ordinance.

5.

Wetlands Landward of a Bulkhead Line. Wetlands located between the original ordinary high water mark and a bulkhead line established prior to May 7, 1982 under Wis. Stats. § 30.11 are not subject to this ordinance.

(c)

Permitted uses.
