This Division sets forth detailed descriptions, characteristics,
and the respective dimensional and bulk regulations, requirements,
and design standards of the nonresidential zoning districts. The nonresidential
zoning districts are generally grouped as follows: business districts,
industrial districts, public and semi-public districts, agricultural
districts, special districts, and floodplain districts.
A.
District Intent. The B-1 Neighborhood Business District
is intended to:
1.
Provide for the convenience of persons residing
in nearby residential areas and is, thus, limited in its functions
to accommodating the basic day-to-day shopping and service needs of
the residents living in the adjacent areas.
2.
Allow for the clustering of buildings on parcels
of land under individual or multiple ownership.
3.
Provide for an arrangement of retail trade establishments
that are compatible in function and operation.
4.
Limit building height to not exceed two stories
in order to assist in assuring compatibility with surrounding land
uses of a lesser intensity.
While the off-street parking requirements for the B-1 District
have a tendency to promote an AUTO-URBAN character, the various other
requirements of the B-1 District are established to increase its compatibility
with a SUBURBAN character as set forth in the City of Franklin Comprehensive
Master Plan.
|
B.
District Standards. The B-1 District is further
intended to have the development standards as set forth in Table 15-3.0301.
C.
Permitted, Accessory, and Special Uses. See §§ 15-3.0603,
15-3.0605, 15-3.0606, 15-3.0607, 15-3.0608, 15-3.0609, Division 15-3.0700,

A.
District Intent. The B-4 South 27th Street Mixed
Use District is intended to provide for the development of certain
mixed uses, including retail, commercial, office and residential development,
in furtherance of the goals and objectives of the South 27th Street
Corridor Element of the Comprehensive Master Plan and:
1.
Require that future land division be limited, such
that no new lots are created that are smaller than two acres in size.
2.
Require that no new lots of record for the development
of new One-family detached dwellings or Two-family attached dwellings
be created after the effective date of this ordinance.
[Amended 5-19-2015 by Ord. No. 2015-2176]
3.
Require that new residential development meet the
R-8 Multiple-Family Residence District Development Standards in Table
15-3.0209.
4.
Require that cross-access for both pedestrian and
vehicular circulation is provided between adjacent parcels at the
time of any new development or redevelopment. In cases where existing
development on adjacent parcels, not under common ownership, does
not allow for the actual construction of connecting driveways, sidewalks,
etc. it shall be sufficient in most cases to provide the appropriate
cross-access easements to to be utilized at the point in time when
the adjacent parcel undergoes development or redevelopment that would
facilitate the completion of the connection. The city may require
a letter of credit sufficient to ensure the construction of the future
pedestrian and vehicular connection when actual construction is not
taking place at the time of site plan approval.
5.
Require special use approval for all new buildings
greater than 40,000 square feet in area, whether single-tenant or
multi-tenant spaces.
6.
Single retail establishments are limited to tenant
space of 80,000 square feet or less in area.
7.
Be served by public sanitary sewer and water supply
facilities.
8.
A Special Use lawfully existing within the area
of this District prior to and upon the creation of this District shall
remain as such Special Use and a conforming use, with any future amendment
to the Special Use Permission, to be granted only upon the consideration
of all applicable standards for the review and approval of Special
Uses, and the District Intent and District Standards in this Section.
While the off-street parking requirements for the B-4 South
27th Street Mixed Use District have a tendency to promote an AUTO-URBAN
character, the various other requirements of the B-4 South 27th Street
Mixed use District are established to increase its compatibility with
an URBAN character as set forth in the City of Franklin 27th Street
Corridor Plan.
|
B.
District Standards. The B-4 South 27th Street Mixed
Use District is further intended to have the development standards
as set forth in Table 15-3.0304 and those design standards set forth

1.
Require that future land division be limited, such
that no new lots of record are created that are smaller than 40,000
square feet in size.
2.
Require that no new lots of record for Residential
dwellings be created after the effective date of this ordinance.
3.
Require that all new buildings be a minimum of two
stories in height.
4.
Require that cross-access for both pedestrian and
vehicular circulation be provided between adjacent parcels at the
time of any new development or redevelopment. In cases where existing
development on adjacent parcels, not under common ownership, does
not allow for the actual construction of connecting driveways, sidewalks,
etc. it shall be sufficient in most cases to provide the appropriate

District Intent. The OL-1 Office Overlay District
is intended to provide for the development of high quality office
uses and other supportive business uses as a component, in furtherance
of the goals and objectives of the South 27th Street Corridor Element
of the Comprehensive Master Plan, and:
1.
Require that compliance with the OL-1 Office Overlay
District Development Standards is mandatory for all lots of record
created after the effective date of this ordinance and the uses in
Table 15-3.0603. Lots of record existing as of the effective date
of this ordinance and the uses in Table 15-3.0603 thereon may utilize
either the OL-1 Office Overlay District Development Standards or the
District Development Standards established by the base zoning.
2.
Require that future land division be limited, such
that no new lots are created that are smaller than 40,000 square feet
in size.
3.
Require than all new buildings be a minimum of two
stories in height.
4.
Require that cross-access for both pedestrian and
vehicular circulation be provided between adjacent parcels at the
time of any new development or redevelopment. In cases where existing
development on adjacent parcels, not under common ownership, does
not allow for the actual construction of connecting driveways, sidewalks,
etc. it shall be sufficient in most cases to provide the appropriate
cross-access easements to to be utilized at the point in time when
the adjacent parcel undergoes development or redevelopment that would
facilitate the completion of the connection. The city may require
a letter of credit sufficient to ensure the construction of the future
pedestrian and vehicular connection when actual construction is not
taking place at the time of site plan approval.
5.
Require special use approval for all new buildings
greater than 40,000 square feet in area, whether single-tenant or
multi-tenant spaces.
6.
Be served by public sanitary sewer and water supply
facilities.
7.
A Special Use lawfully existing within the area
of this District prior to and upon the creation of this District shall
remain as such Special Use and a conforming use, with any future amendment
to the Special Use Permission, to be granted only upon the consideration
of all applicable standards for the review and approval of Special
Uses, and the District Intent and District Standards in this Section.
While the off-street parking requirements for the OL-1 Overlay
District have a tendency to promote an AUTO-URBAN character, the various
other requirements of the OL-1 Overlay District are established to
increase its compatibility with an URBAN character as set forth in
the City of Franklin 27th Street Corridor Plan.

A.
District Intent. The CC District is intended to:
1.
Serve as the new "downtown" of the City of Franklin.
2.
Be used in that area of the City designated on the
City of Franklin Comprehensive Master Plan as the Civic Center Planning
District, and in close proximity to that area.
3.
Promote mixed-use development which may also include
cultural and institutional facilities, indoor entertainment facilities,
business uses, residential uses (to a lesser extent), and those other
uses which would contribute to the CC City Civic Center District's
role as the "heart" of the City of Franklin while also accommodating
uses which are under public or public-related ownership, or which
serve a quasi-public purpose.
4.
Foster a pedestrian-oriented City of Franklin Civic
Center even though the CC City Civic Center District has off-street
parking requirements.
5.
Foster a balance between people-oriented and automobile-oriented
development. The spaces formed in this area, through careful site
planning and urban design, are to cater to both pedestrian and vehicular
safety and circulation.
6.
Employ superior building, site, and landscape design
standards than most other areas of the City since the uses in the
CC City Civic Center District will convey the image of all of the
City of Franklin to both residents and visitors. Building design within
the CC District shall follow the City's design guidelines established
for buildings located within the CC City Civic Center District.
7.
Require a landscape surface ratio (LSR) and floor
area ratio (FAR) requirement that is consistent with the B-3 Community
Business District.
8.
Single retail establishments are limited to tenant
space of 125,000 square feet or less in area.
9.
Require that cross-access for both pedestrian and
vehicular circulation be provided between adjacent parcels at the
time of any new development or redevelopment. In cases where existing
development on adjacent parcels, not under common ownership, does
not allow for the actual construction of connecting driveways, sidewalks,
etc. it shall be sufficient in most cases to provide the appropriate
cross-access easements to to be utilized at the point in time when
the adjacent parcel undergoes development or redevelopment that would
facilitate the completion of the connection. The city may require
a letter of credit sufficient to ensure the construction of the future
pedestrian and vehicular connection when actual construction is not
taking place at the time of site plan approval. Upon existing District
developments and the proposed development of the property in the northeastern
comer of the District as of May 1, 2020, the property bearing Tax
Key No. 794-9999-009, for which a Special Use approval and a Site
Plan approval have been granted for a daycare facility and outdoor
play area for children development, is exempt from the foregoing Intent
requirements of this subsection, until such time as the owners of
such property agree to release such exemption and have the subject
property be subject to the requirements for cross-access for both
pedestrian and vehicular circulation with adjacent parcel(s) to the
east of the subject property; the aforesaid exemption may be voided
in the sole discretion of the Common Council should the Special Use
and Site Plan approvals development of the property not occur within
the time requirements set forth in such approvals, or if such development
is substantially altered.
10.
Require that a Developers Agreement and Letter
of Credit be submitted by the applicant/developer during the Site
Plan approval process for the purpose of securing the installation
and construction of required public improvements and/or non-principal
site improvements proposed by the City of Franklin.
While the character of the highly pedestrianized portions of
the CC District would be URBAN in character, the various requirements
of the CC District are established to increase its compatibility with
a SUBURBAN character through the preservation of open space and natural
resource features characteristic of the CC District as set forth in
the City of Franklin Comprehensive Master Plan.

A minimum landscape surface ratio is established for each parcel
to maintain the cumulative 40% minimum LSR in perpetuity. This will
result in one parcel having a permanent minimum LSR greater than 40%.
| |
(4)
|
The minimum LSR for each parcel is approved by the City of Franklin
Common Council.
| |
(5)
|
The approved LSR for each parcel is recorded as a covenant binding
on all future owners. The covenant may not be changed without the
approval of the city of Franklin Common Council.

The CC City Civic Center district is excempt from those increased
setback requirements along arterial streets and highways set forth
in § 15-5.0108.
| |
(d)
|
Where two parcels in the CC City Civic Center zoning district
abut, the setback for the abutting portion of the lot line is either
zero or at least 10 feet. No setback in the CC City Civic Center zoning
district shall be between zero and 10 feet.
| |
(e)
|
For property in the CC City Civic Center zoning district developed
in conjunction with an abutting property in the CC City Civic Center
zoning district, this ten foot minimum setback may be waived upon
arrival of site plans for shared parking and driveways.

A.
District Intent. The VB Village Business District
is a nonresidential district intended to:
1.
Be used exclusively in the Village of St. Martins
Planning District as delineated by the City of Franklin Comprehensive
Master Plan.
2.
Maintain and enhance the historic "village" design
characteristics of the Village of St. Martins.
3.
Prevent land and structures in the Village of St.
Martins area from becoming nonconforming as they would if placed under
different more SUBURBAN-oriented land use or zoning classifications.
4.
Provide for the minor infilling of vacant or redevelopment
areas within the Village of St. Martins consistent with the requirements
of the district and the established community character of the Village
of St. Martins.
5.
Permit future nonresidential development and redevelopment
of the Village of St. Martins area consistent with earlier approved
Subdivisions and Certified Survey Maps.
6.
Be served by public sanitary sewer and water supply
facilities.
7.
Assure that building design within the VB District
follow the City's design guidelines established especially for buildings
located within the VB District.
While the overall character of the VB District is URBAN as set
forth in the City of Franklin Comprehensive Master Plan, this URBAN
village is located within a RURAL/SUBURBAN transitional setting; thus,
the various requirements of the VB District are established to maintain
its "village" characteristics. The VB Village Business District, as
used here, is not to be confused with incorporated "villages" as defined
by the Wisconsin State Statutes.
|
B.
District Standards. The VB District is further intended
to have the development standards as set forth in Table 15-3.0308.
C.
Permitted, Accessory, and Special Uses. See §§ 15-3.0603,
15-3.0605, 15-3.0606, 15-3.0607, 15-3.0608, 15-3.0609, Division 15-3.0700,
Section 15-3.0703, and Division 15-3.0800.
D.
Special Consideration for the Provision of Off-Street
Parking in the VB District. Generally, off-street parking is not required
in this district. However, the City Plan Commission may require off-street
parking under those circumstances where a property is under single
ownership and sufficient space is available on-site.

A.
District Intent. The AO Airport Overlay District
is intended to:
1.
Allow for the coordination, planning, and development
of land uses in the vicinity of General Mitchell Field, but limits
uses and requires noise protection.
2.
Control conflicts between land uses and noise generated
by aircraft and to protect the public health, safety, and welfare
from the adverse impacts associated with excessive noise.
3.
Ensure that land uses in the airport noise impact
area are mutually compatible with airport noise.
4.
Provide acoustical performance standards.
5.
Be in addition to and shall overlay all other zoning
districts where it is applied so that any parcel of land or lot lying
in the AO District shall also lie in one or more of the other zoning
districts. The effect is to create a zoning district which has the
characteristics and limitations of the underlying district, together
with the characteristics and limitations of the AO District.
6.
Provide adequate notice to land owners and prospective
land owners that airport operations should be considered as possibly
affecting the use of property within the AO Airport Overlay District.
7.
Regulate land uses within designated existing or
projected airport impact areas by providing height restrictions which
will assure safe, unobstructed access for all aircraft which enter
and exit General Mitchell Field.
B.
Establishment of District Boundaries and Districts.
The AO Airport Overlay District boundaries shall be based upon the
General Mitchell Field study titled General Mitchell International
Airport. Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study: Noise Exposure Maps and
Noise Compatibility Program, prepared by Coffman Associates, Inc.,
dated October 1993. Boundaries shall be subject to periodic updating
and amendment. The AO Airport Overlay District shall be established
in like manner as any other zoning district permitted by this Ordinance.
C.
Establishment of Airport Noise Impact Areas. Airport
noise impact areas (numbered AO Districts) shall be established in
order to distinguish between the severity of the levels of noise impact
so that appropriate uses and acoustical performance standards can
be established to mitigate the adverse impacts of aircraft noise in
order to protect the public health, safety, and welfare.
1.
Noise Zones. Noise levels shall be classified into
noise zones, and the Day-Night Average Sound Level (DNL) classifications
shall be used for all noise sources. DNL shall be mathematically symbolized
as Ldn.
D.
District Standards. District standards shall conform
to that required in the underlying basic use district and subject
to those additional standards for outdoor to indoor noise level reduction
as set forth in Division 15-3.0600 of this Ordinance.
E.
Permitted, Accessory, and Special Uses. See § 15-3.0608.

of this Ordinance. Appropriate records, including photographs and
plans, shall be kept as part of the City's official zoning file.
E.
Limitation on Structural or Appearance Changes.
Structural changes shall be regulated in the following manner:
1.
Certificate of Appropriateness Required. There shall
be no alterations in the architectural appearance of any structure
within an HPO District without the approval of plans for such alterations
by the City Plan Commission. In determining whether to grant approval
the City Plan Commission shall take into consideration the recommendation
of the Historic Preservation Commission. For the purposes of this
section, alterations shall include any change, addition to or demolition
of any part or all of a structure. The City Plan Commission shall
make its determination within 60 days of the filing of the application
for a Certificate of Appropriateness.
2.
Basis for Approval. No alterations shall be permitted
that would tend to destroy or seriously impair the particular character
and quality of the HPO District. No change or alteration of a landmark,
landmark site, or historic district shall be permitted which destroys,
seriously impairs or significantly alters its character in terms of
its historical or architectural interest.
3.
Repairs or Destruction. Notwithstanding the provisions
of Division 15-3.1000, total lifetime structural repairs, restoration
or alterations of a preservation structure may exceed 50% of the City's
equalized value if the City Plan Commission determines upon recommendation
by the Historic Preservation Commission that the structure will be
repaired, restored, or altered in such a way as to maintain the character
of the structure and the character of the HPO District without significant
alteration or change in such character. No person in charge of a landmark
or improvement in a historic district shall be granted a permit to
demolish such property without review and recommendations by the Historic
Preservation Commission to the City Plan Commission.
F.
Permitted, Accessory, and Special Uses. See § 15-3.0609.
A.
District Intent.
1.
The L-1 Landfill District is intended to regulate
land use at existing, as well as former landfill sites in the City
of Franklin.
2.
The L-1 District is not intended to accommodate
new landfill sites in the City of Franklin.
The implementing zoning ordinance requirements of the L-1 District
address safety issues pertaining to landfills, protection of the natural
resource base, minimization of adverse impacts upon surrounding and
areawide land uses, aesthetics of the landfill site and surrounding
environs, landscaping, noise, and traffic impacts upon the street
and highway system serving the L-1 District. Landfill restoration
requirements are set forth in the implementing zoning regulations.

The FW Floodway District is intended to be used to protect people
and property from flood damage by prohibiting the erection of structures
that would impede the flow of water during periodic flooding. Permitting
use of the floodway would increase damages in the broader floodplain
by increasing flood stages. In delineating the FW District, the effects
of development within the associated flood fringe shall be computed
utilizing the single degree of encroachment principle. Flood stage
increases equal to or greater than 0.01 foot in height shall not be
permitted unless the applicant has made appropriate legal arrangements
with all affected units of government and all property owners affected
by the stage increase, and until all such affected units of government
have amended their water surface profiles and floodplain zoning maps
to reflect the increased flood elevations.
A.
Mapping of Floodways. The floodway shown on the
Official Zoning Map was initially delineated from information contained
in the flood insurance study and represents those floodways shown
in that report. In addition, floodplains determined by approximate
methods in the flood insurance study (shown as unnumbered A Zones)
have, as a general rule, been included in the Floodway District. As
a general mapping rule, nonfloodplain islands less than one acre in
area that are completely surrounded by floodway have been included
in the floodway delineation.
B.
Maintenance of Drainageways. No development in the
FW District shall adversely affect the channels or floodways of the
Root River, the East Branch of the Root River, Tess Corners Creek,
Woods Creek, Oak Creek, any tributary thereto, drainage ditches, or
other lands lying outside the floodplains.
C.
Dumping and Filling Prohibited. Lands lying within
the FW District shall not be used for dumping or be filled except
as authorized to permit establishment of approved bulkhead lines or
to accommodate bridge approaches. Normal earth-grading activities
to permit utilization of the lands for open space, outdoor recreation,
yard, parking, and similar uses are permitted, so long as the water
carrying and storage capacity of the floodplain is not decreased.
D.
Dangerous Materials Storage Prohibited. Lands lying
within the FW District shall not be used for the storage of materials
that are buoyant, flammable, explosive, or injurious to human, animal,
or plant life.
E.
Mobile Homes Prohibited. No mobile home, mobile
home park, or trailer camp shall be placed or moved onto lands lying
in the FW District.
F.
Incompatible Uses Prohibited. Lands lying within
the FW District shall not be used for any solid waste disposal site
or on-site soil absorption sanitary sewerage system site, or the construction
of any well which is used to obtain water for ultimate human consumption.
Sewage treatment plants and treatment ponds shall not be constructed
in the FW District.
G.
Permitted, Accessory, and Special Uses. See § 15-3.0604.
The FC Floodplain Conservancy District is intended to preserve
in essentially open space and natural uses lands which are unsuitable
for intensive URBAN development purposes due to poor natural soil
conditions and periodic flood inundations. The proper regulation of
these areas will serve to maintain and improve water quality, prevent
flood damage, protect wildlife habitat, and prohibit the location
of structures on soils which are generally not suitable for such use.
In delineating the FC District, consideration shall be given to maintaining
flood storage capacity and preventing significant increases in the
flood discharges identfied in applicable floodplain studies. No increase
in the regional flood elevation shall be permitted that is equal to
or greater than 0.01 foot unless the applicant has made appropriate
legal arrangements with all affected units of government and all property
owners affected by the increase in elevation, and all such affected
units of government have amended their water surface profiles and
floodplain zoning maps to reflect the increased flood elevations.
A.
Maintenance of Drainageways. No development in the
FC District shall adversely affect the channels or floodways of the
Root River, the East Branch of the Root River, Tess Corners Creek,
Woods Creek, any tributary thereto, drainage ditches, or other lands
lying outside the floodplains
B.
Dumping, Filling, and Mining Prohibited. Lands lying
within the FC District shall not be used for dumping or be filled
except as authorized to permit establishment of approved bulkhead
lines or to accommodate bridge approaches. Normal earth-grading activities
to permit utilization of the lands for open space, outdoor recreation,
yard, parking, and similar uses are permitted, so long as the water
carrying and storage capacity of the floodplain is not decreased.
Mining activities, including topsoil removal, is prohibited in the
FC District.
C.
Dangerous Materials Storage Prohibited. Lands lying
within the FC District shall not be used for the storage of materials
that are buoyant, flammable, explosive, or injurious to human, animal,
or plant life.
D.
Mobile Homes Prohibited. No mobile homes, mobile
home park, or trailer camp shall be placed or moved onto lands lying
in the FC District.
E.
Incompatible Use Prohibited. Lands lying within
the FC District shall not be used for any solid waste disposal site,
or on-site soil absorption sanitary sewerage system site, or the construction
of any well which is used to obtain water for ultimate human consumption.
F.
Permitted, Accessory, and Special Uses. See § 15-3.0605.
The FFO Floodplain Fringe Overlay District is intended to provide
for and encourage the most appropriate use of land and water in areas
subject to periodic flooding and to minimize flood damage to people
and property. The FFO Floodplain Fringe Overlay District is an overlay
zoning district that imposes certain additional requirements on the
underlying basic zoning district without disturbing the requirements
of the basic district. In the instance of conflicting requirements,
the more restrictive of the conflicting requirements shall apply.
A.
Maintenance of Drainageways. No filling or development
in the FFO District shall adversely affect the channels or floodways
of the Root River, the East Branch of the Root River, Tess Corners
Creek, Woods Creek, Oak Creek, any tributary thereto, drainage ditches,
or other lands lying outside the floodplains.
B.
Mobile Homes Prohibited. No mobile home, mobile
home park, or trailer camp shall be placed or moved onto lands lying
in the FFO District.
C.
Incompatible Use Prohibited. Lands lying within
the FFO District shall not be used for any solid waste disposal site,
on-site soil absorption sanitary sewage system site, or the construction
of any well which is used to obtain water for ultimate human consumption.
D.
Permitted, Accessory, and Special Uses. See § 15-3.0606.
The SW Shoreland Wetland Overlay District is intended to preserve,
protect, and enhance the ponds, streams, and wetland areas of the
City of Franklin. The preservation, protection, and enhancement of
these areas will serve to maintain safe and healthful conditions;
maintain and improve water quality, both ground and surface; prevent
flood damage; control storm water runoff; protect stream banks from
erosion; protect groundwater recharge and discharge areas; protect
wildlife habitat; protect native plant communities; avoid the location
of structures on soils which are generally not suitable for use; and
protect the water-based recreation resources of the City. The SW Shoreland
Wetland Overlay District includes all wetlands within the shoreland,
as defined in the Ordinance, and additional nonshoreland wetlands
which are adjacent to shoreland wetlands. The boundaries were determined
from use of the Wisconsin Wetland Inventory Map for the city of Franklin,
dated March 15, 1989 and stamped "FINAL." All wetland boundaries,
even when shown on a wetland map, shall be verified prior to development
by a professional trained in wetland delineation. Any wetlands which
are filled prior to the date on which the City of Franklin received
the final Wisconsin Wetland Inventory Map for the City of Franklin
from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources in a manner which
affects their characteristics as wetlands are filled wetlands and
not subject to an ordinance adopted under § 62.231 of the
Wisconsin Statutes as amended.
