The location and boundaries of the districts established by
this Ordinance are set forth in the Official Zoning Map, dated July
1, 1998, and as amended, which is incorporated herein and hereby made
a part of this Ordinance. The Official Zoning Map shall consist of
a series of one inch equals 100 feet scale maps for each U. S. Public
Land Survey quarter-section in the City of Franklin, Wisconsin. These
maps, together with everything shown thereon, and all amendments thereto,
shall be as much a part of this Ordinance as though fully set forth
and described herein.
A.
General Location of Zoning District Boundaries.
1.
Zoning Boundary Determination. The zoning district
boundaries are streets, alleys, railroads, lot lines, streams, floodplain
boundaries, and wetland boundaries unless otherwise shown on the Official
Zoning Map.
2.
Zoning Boundary Determination for Approximate Boundaries.
Where the designation of the Official Zoning Map indicates that various
zoning districts are approximately bounded by a street, alley, lot
line, stream, floodplain boundary, or wetland boundary, such lot line
or the centerline of such street, alley, or railroad right-of-way,
or centerline of the main channel of such stream, the floodplain boundaries,
or wetland boundaries as delineated on maps prepared by the City or
under the Root River Watershed study, or as determined through the
use of on-site wetland delineation, flood profiles and accompanying
hydrologic and hydraulic engineering data, shall be construed to be
the zoning district boundary line.
3.
Split Zoning of Newly Created Lots Not Allowed.
The split zoning of any newly created lot or parcel into more than
one zoning district shall not be allowed except for the AO, FW, FC,
FFO, and SW Districts, and for and upon an application for certified
survey map approval for the purpose of providing additional land to
an adjoining tax incremental district mixed-use development including
industrial and commercial uses, where lots are being created from
a parcel or parcels, upon which there exists an established residential
dwelling building use, such established use parcel or parcels not
being the subject of current further development application, for
such remaining established residential dwelling building use parcel
or parcels only.
[Amended 1-21-2020 by Ord. No. 2020-2413]
B.
Zoning District Boundary Lines On Unsubdivided Property.
In unsubdivided property, the location of the zoning district boundary
lines shown on the Official Zoning Map shall be determined by the
use of the scale on such map or in the case of floodplain boundaries
shall be determined through the use of flood profiles and accompanying
hydrologic and hydraulic engineering data, or shall be in accordance
with the dimensions shown on the maps measured at right angles from
the centerline of the street or highway, and the length of frontage
shall be in accordance with dimensions shown on the map from section,
quarter-section, or division lines, or centerlines of streets, highways,
or railroad rights-of-way unless otherwise indicated.
C.
Boundaries of Floodplain Zoning Districts. The boundaries
of the FW Floodway District shall be determined by use of the scale
contained on the Official Zoning Map. The boundaries of the FC Floodplain
Conservancy District and the FFO Floodplain Fringe Overlay District
shall be determined by the floodplain limits shown on the Official
Zoning Map. When more restrictive, the base flood elevations as designated
in Flood Insurance Study, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin and Incorporated
Areas, 55079CV001A, 55079CV002A, 55079CV003A, 55079CV004A, 55079CV005A
dated September 26, 2008, and the boundaries of all floodplain districts
as designated in Flood Insurance Rate Map, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin
and Incorporated Areas, map panels 55079C0137E, 55079C0139E, 55079C0141E,
55079C0142E, 55079C0143E, 55079C0144E, 55079C0161E, 55079C0162E, 55079C0163E,
55079C0164E, 55079C0206E, 55079C0207E, 55079C0209E, 55079C0226E, 55079C0227E,
55079C0228E, 55079C0229E, dated September 26, 2008, shall be utilized.
Where a conflict exists between the floodplain limits shown on the
Official Zoning Map or the FIRM and actual field conditions, the elevations
from the one-hundred-year recurrence interval flood profile shall
be the governing factor in locating the regulatory floodplain limits.
D.
Boundaries of the SW Shoreland Wetland Overlay District.
Boundaries of the SW Shoreland Wetland Overlay District were determined
from use of the Wisconsin Wetland Inventory Map for the City of Franklin,
dated March 15, 1989, and stamped "FINAL." Section 62.231 of the Wisconsin
Statutes requires that all shoreland wetlands five acres or greater
in area be protected by the City. In addition, all wetlands in the
City of Franklin are further protected under the provisions of Division
15-4.0100 of this Ordinance. All wetland boundaries shall be verified
prior to development by a professional trained in wetland delineation.
All streets, alleys, public-ways, waterways, and railroad rights-of-way,
if not otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be in
the same zone as the property immediately abutting upon such alleys,
streets, public-ways, waterways, and railroad rights-of-way. Where
the centerline of a street, alley, public-way, waterway, or railroad
right-of-way serves as a district boundary, the zoning of such areas,
unless otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be the
same as that of the abutting property up to such centerline.
A.
General. Any additions to the incorporated area
of the City of Franklin, resulting from disconnections from incorporated
areas in Milwaukee County, Waukesha County, Racine County or otherwise,
shall be automatically classified in the A-1 Agricultural District
until otherwise classified by amendment.
B.
Annexations or Consolidations Containing Shorelands.
Annexations containing shorelands shall comply with § 62.231
of the Wisconsin Statutes.
C.
Annexations or Consolidations Containing Floodplains.
Annexations or consolidations containing floodplains shall be placed
in the following districts as applicable:
D.
Annexations or Consolidations Containing Shoreland
Wetlands. Annexations or consolidations containing shoreland wetlands
shall be placed in the SW Shoreland Wetland Overlay District.
