(Ord. No. 07-O-22, § II, 2-21-2023)

The B-5 mixed business and manufacturing district is intended to provide for a number of uses deemed appropriate in the South 43rd Street Corridor. These include business as well as manufacturing uses. This district is intended to be used for larger areas which require careful advanced planning and coordination to ensure the proper execution of development plans. It is also intended that this zoning district be used in conjunction with the requirements and procedures of the Planned Unit Development Overlay District and that plans to be developed in the mixed business and manufacturing district be subject to rezoning to the Planned Unit Development Overlay District in the Village zoning ordinance. This will give the developer the greatest flexibility in redeveloping these larger parcels and the Village greatest control over the design of the development and the image it creates within the Village.

(1)

Permitted uses.

a.

Due to the unique nature of the 43rd Street Corridor to the Village and the stated intent that this underlying zoning district be used in association with the Planned Unit Development provisions of this chapter, any and all uses allowed in any business or manufacturing district are allowed as part of a Planned Unit Development.

(2)

Lot area and width. Lots shall contain sufficient area and width to implement the South 43rd Street Corridor Redevelopment Plans as determined by the Plan Commission and the Village Board for the Village of West Milwaukee.

(3)

Building height and area.

a.

There shall be no maximum height restriction for principal structures in the B-5 mixed business and manufacturing district, however, adequate measures shall be provided to afford adequate fire protection.

b.

No accessory building shall exceed 15 feet in height.

c.

The sum total of the floor area of the principal building(s) and all accessory buildings shall not exceed 50 percent of the lot area.

(4)

Parking requirements.

a.

Off-street parking and loading areas are required as described in Sections 98-92, 98-93, and 98-94 of the Village zoning ordinance.

(5)

Erosion control.

a.

See Article VIII.

(6)

Land use density and other standards.

a.

Land use density and other standards shall, insofar as possible, be maintained in compliance with the requirements set forth in the underlying basic zoning district which most closely, as determined by the Plan Commission and Village Board for the Village of West Milwaukee, approximates the uses in one (1) of the business and/or manufacturing districts.

(7)

Plans and specifications to be submitted to the Plan Commission. To encourage a business and manufacturing environment that is compatible with the residential character of the Village, building permits for permitted uses in the B-5 mixed business and manufacturing district shall not be issued without review and approval of the Village of West Milwaukee Plan Commission pursuant to the guidelines set forth in Section 98-258 of this chapter. Said review and approval shall be concerned with general layout, business plans, ingress and egress, parking, loading and unloading, landscaping, and open space utilization.

(Ord. No. 2-O-99, § 1, 6-21-1999; Ord. No. 2-O-21, 3-15-2021)

The B-6 mixed residential and business zoning district is intended to provide for uses deemed appropriate in the Village Gateway District defined in the Village Comprehensive Plan (the "district"). The B-6 District is created to transform the district from its historical heavy manufacturing use to a variety of uses including housing, commercial, professional, service and recreational uses, and to facilitate new mixed- use development with new public streets, parks, homes and commercial and civic spaces. The redevelopment of the district will create new roadways connected to the existing Village street grid and new public and private internal roads with landscaping and parks built to Village standards. It is intended this zoning district be used in conjunction with the requirements and procedures of the Planned Unit Development Overlay district and that plans for individual lot development in the B-6 mixed residential and business district be subject to approvals under the Planned Unit Development Overlay District in the Village zoning ordinance. This will give the developer the greatest flexibility in redeveloping these larger parcels and the Village greatest control over the design of the development and the image it creates within the Village, all to follow the Village Comprehensive Plan. It is anticipated that the district will be developed over several years, in multiple phases on individual lots made cohesive by the public rights-of-way, open space, lighting, signage and landscape standards which will be consistent across all development in the district development. These same standards will extend beyond the district along W. National Avenue and south to create a seamless relationship between the district and Village. The District will provide a variety of uses with a diversity of building types, heights, architecture and differentiated parcels that uniquely engage the community. A variety of styles, sizes, materials and expression will create a lively and agile framework to attract and sustain the variety of uses, investors, developers, residents and businesses that will make the district vibrant and timeless.

The Village Board reserves the right to designate areas outside of the district where the size and redevelopment characteristics of the lands to be rezoned are similar in nature, as determined by the Village Board.

(1)

Permitted uses. Due to the unique nature of the district and its stated intent, this underlying zoning district shall be used in association with the Planned Unit Development provisions of this chapter, and any and all uses allowed in any residential or business district are permitted uses as part of a Planned Unit Development.

(2)

Transportation Corridors. An essential key to the redevelopment of the district is the conversion of existing roadways to newly constructed transportation corridors connecting to the existing Village street grid and new public and private internal roads with landscaping and parks built to Village standards. The transportation corridors must be developed to be compatible with the nature of development served as well as creating the desired connectivity. No Planned Unit Development approval within any portion of the district shall be issued unless (i) the transportation corridor servicing the propertie(s) of the Planned Unit Development has been completed or (ii) the Planned Unit Development includes conditions requiring the construction of the transportation corridor servicing any subject property with financial security satisfactory to the Village.

The conceptual transportation corridors within the district are:

a.

S. 43rd Street Corridor. This new street will connect the Village's existing S. 43rd Street north through the district, under the Hank Aaron Trail. S. 43rd Street shall be the central business/commercial street in the district with major public greenspace, active ground floor uses of office and residential structures, hotel, and commercial structures. The street will be designed to accommodate the new traffic generated within the district and create new access to the north to I-94 and the Menominee Valley. Active sidewalks accommodate outdoor dining and the open space to serve community recreation, festivals and assembly, make 43rd Street the "front yard" for the district.

b.

S. 39th, S. 40th and S. 41st Street Corridors. These three existing intersections at National Avenue along with S. 43rd Street will be the primary access to the district. S. 39th Street will be improved/widened to support anticipated residential two-story structures (townhomes, apartments or single-family homes) to be compatible with the residential uses that exist to the east of the district. S. 40th and S. 4lst streets will be improved/widened to support anticipated low and mid-rise multi-family buildings of different size, character and density with in-building parking. It is anticipated that as development moves west towards S. 41st Street and south to W. National Avenue, the building heights, mass and unit counts will be higher than the buildings to the north.

c.

East Park and Roadway Corridors. Two new east/west roadways will be built. At the center, a public street would run from S. 40th Street over the railroad tracks and end at S. 43rd Street. To the north, an extension of W. Pierce Street (City of Milwaukee) will run from S. 39th Street to the new center east/west roadway at a new railroad viaduct. It is anticipated that the two new east/west roads along with S. 41st Street, will bound a new Village park which provides open space for the public and district residents, workers and visitors to enjoy the expansive views to Brewers Stadium and the district buildings to the west.

(3)

Pedestrian and Bicycle Corridors. Planned Unit Development approvals must address potential connection with the Hank Aaron Trail through new dedicated and grade separated bikeways along the CP Railroad and on dedicated bike lanes and paths on streets and open spaces within the Gateway District. The development of the western parcels along the Hank Aaron Trail should activate the ground plane with opportunities for developing recreational, open space and services (coffee shop, outdoor dining, entertainment) so as to create a lively area, and enhance the connection to the north as a destination along the Hank Aaron Trail.

(4)

Lot area and width. Lots shall contain sufficient area and width to implement the District Redevelopment Plans as determined by the Plan Commission and the Village Board.

(5)

Building height and area.

a.

There shall be no maximum height restriction for principal structures in the B-6 mixed residential and business district; however, adequate measures shall be provided to afford adequate fire protection.

b.

No accessory building shall exceed 15 feet in height.

c.

The sum total of the floor area of the principal building(s) and all accessory buildings should generally not exceed 50 percent of the lot area. However, the Village may waive this floor area restriction in the Planned Unit Development approval upon finding that adequate open space is preserved.

(6)

Parking requirements. Off-street parking and loading areas are required as described in Sections 98-92, 98-93, and 98-94 of the Village zoning ordinance or as otherwise approved by the Village Board.

(7)

Erosion control. See Article VIII.

(8)

Land use density and other standards. Land use density and other standards shall, insofar as possible, be maintained in compliance with the requirements in the underlying basic zoning district which, as determined by the Plan Commission and Village Board, most closely approximates the uses in one (1) of the residential and/or business districts.

(9)

Plans and specifications to be submitted to the Plan Commission. To encourage a residential and business environment compatible with the residential character of the Village, building permits for permitted uses in the B-6 mixed residential and business district shall not be issued without review and approval of the Village of West Milwaukee Plan Commission under the guidelines in Section 98-258 of this chapter. Said review and approval shall be concerned with general layout, business plans, ingress and egress, parking, loading and unloading, landscaping, and open space utilization.
