A.
Use table. Principal uses are allowed in accordance with Table 7-1.
B.
Interpreting the use table.
(1)
Use classification system. Uses are listed in the first column of Table 7-1. This chapter classifies uses into categories and subcategories, as explained in § 475-702. In some cases, specific use types are listed in addition to the use categories and subcategories.
(2)
Permitted uses.
(a)
Uses identified with a "
•
" are permitted
as-of-right in the subject zoning district, subject to compliance
with any supplemental regulations identified in the final column of
Table 7-1 and with all other applicable regulations of this chapter.(b)
Uses identified with a "
▪
" are permitted
as-of-right in the subject zoning district but only when located above
the ground floor. Such uses are prohibited on the ground floor.(3)
Conditional uses. Uses identified with "
©
" are allowed only if reviewed and approved in accordance with the conditional use procedures of § 475-1105.(4)
Prohibited uses. Uses identified with an "—" are expressly prohibited. Uses that are not listed in the table and that cannot be reasonably interpreted (as stated in § 475-702) to fall within any defined use category or subcategory are also prohibited.
(5)
Reference. The final ("Reference") column of Table 7-1 includes
a cross-reference to the use definition and any applicable supplemental
use regulations that apply to the use. Unless otherwise expressly
stated, compliance with supplemental use regulations is required regardless
of whether the use is permitted as of right or requires conditional
use approval. Bracketed numbers also refer to use-specific conditions,
which are included as footnotes immediately following the use table.
(6)
Accessory use. Accessory uses are generally not identified by Table 7-1. Customary accessory uses are allowed in conjunction with principal uses permitted by right or by conditional use approval, subject to compliance with all applicable accessory use regulations of § 475-709.

§ 475-708A
|
A.
General. This section describes the system used to classify principal
uses in this chapter.
B.
Use categories. This chapter classifies principal land uses into
seven major groupings). These major groupings are referred to as "use
categories." The use categories are as follows:
C.
Use subcategories. Each use category is further divided into more
specific subcategories. Use subcategories classify principal land
uses and activities based on common functional, product or physical
characteristics, such as the type and amount of activity, the type
of customers or residents, and how goods or services are sold or delivered
and site conditions.
D.
Specific use types. Some use subcategories are further broken down
to identify specific types of uses that are regulated differently
than the subcategory as a whole.
E.
Classification of uses.
(1)
The Planning and Zoning Administrator is authorized to classify
uses on the basis of the use category, subcategory and specific use
type descriptions of this article.
(2)
When a use cannot be reasonably classified into a use category,
subcategory or specific use type, or appears to fit into multiple
categories, subcategories or specific use types, the Planning and
Zoning Administrator is authorized to determine the most similar and
thus most appropriate use category, subcategory or specific use type
based on the actual or projected characteristics of the principal
use or activity in relationship to the use category, subcategory and
specific use type descriptions provided in this article. In making
such determinations, the Planning and Zoning Administrator must consider:
(a)
The types of activities that typically occur in conjunction
with the use;
(b)
The types of equipment and processes to be used;
(c)
The existence, number and frequency of residents, customers
or employees;
(d)
Parking demands of the use; and
(e)
Other factors deemed relevant to a use determination.
(3)
If a use can reasonably be classified in multiple categories,
subcategories or specific use types, the Planning and Zoning Administrator
is authorized to categorize each use in the category, subcategory
or specific use type that provides the most exact, narrowest and appropriate
fit.
The residential use category includes uses that provide for
long-term residential occupancy by individual households or by groups
of people.
A.
Household living. Household living is residential occupancy of a
dwelling unit by a single household for tenancy periods of 30 consecutive
days or more, including, single household, two-household, three-household,
three-plus-household and live-work uses.
(1)
Single-household: one principal dwelling unit on a single lot,
which may also include an accessory dwelling unit in the form of a
secondary suite or backyard cottage, where such units are allowed.
(2)
Two-household: two principal dwelling units on a single lot.
(3)
Three-plus-household: three or more principal dwelling units
occupying a single building on a single lot.
(4)
Live-work: a building or space within a building used jointly
for residential and nonresidential uses allowed within the subject
zoning district.
B.
Group living. Group living is residential occupancy of a building
or any portion of a building by a group other than a household. Tenancy
is typically arranged on a long-term (thirty-day or longer) basis.
Buildings or spaces occupied by group living uses contain individual
rooms with private or shared bathroom facilities and may also contain
shared kitchen facilities, and/or common dining and living areas for
residents. Residents may or may not receive any combination of care,
training, or treatment, but those receiving such services must reside
at the site. Examples of group living uses include fraternities, sororities,
convents, community living arrangements, adult family homes, foster
homes, treatment foster homes, monasteries and nursing homes.
C.
Density restrictions for designated sex offenders. Any building or
other place intended for human habitation, on a temporary or permanent
basis, including, without limitation, buildings occupied by household
living uses, buildings occupied by group living uses or buildings
occupied by lodging uses may not include more than one individual
who is a designated sex offender under the provisions of §§ 301.45
and 301.46, Wis. Stats. This section density restriction does not
apply to a designated sex offender who is living with his/her immediate
family. For purposes of this section, "immediate family" is defined
as the designated sex offender's spouse, parent, grandparent, brother
or sister of the whole or half blood, child, stepchild or child by
adoption, including children who have been placed in foster care,
as defined by the Wisconsin Statutes.
The public and civic use category includes public, quasi-public,
civic and institutional uses.
A.
Cemetery: lands and facilities for the interment of humans or domestic
household pets, including columbariums and mausoleums.
B.
Club or lodge: the use of a building or lot by a membership-based
organization that restricts access to its facility to bona fide, dues-paying
members and their occasional guests and in which the primary activity
is a service not carried on as a business enterprise. Clubs and lodges
are characterized by definite membership qualifications, payment of
fees and dues, regular meetings and a constitution and bylaws.
C.
College or university: academic institutions of higher learning that
are accredited or recognized by the state and offer courses of general
or specialized study.
D.
Hospital: uses providing medical or surgical care to patients and
offering inpatient (overnight) care.
E.
Library or cultural exhibit: museum-like preservation and exhibition
of objects in one or more of the arts and sciences, gallery exhibition
of works of art or library collections of books, manuscripts and similar
materials operated by a public or quasi-public agency.
F.
Parks and recreation: recreational, social or multipurpose uses associated
with public parks and open spaces, including playgrounds, playfields,
play courts, community centers and other facilities typically associated
with public parks and open space areas. Also includes public and private
golf courses and tennis clubs.
G.
Recyclable material dropoff station: an establishment that 1) accepts
consumer recyclable commodities directly from the consuming party;
2) is staffed by personnel during times when recyclables are accepted
from consumers; and 3) stores materials temporarily before transferring
them to recyclable material processing facilities. Recyclable material
dropoff bins are regulated as accessory uses/structures. Establishments
engaged in long-term storage or processing of recyclable materials
are classified as industrial uses.
H.
Religious assembly: the conduct of organized religious services.
Examples include synagogues, temples, mosques and churches.
I.
