(e)

Special licensed uses. Uses requiring a Village adult-oriented-use license, business license or liquor license granted by the Village Board (including nonconforming uses) may only be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with such a license.
[Amended 3-3-2008 by Ord. No. 08-17; 6-26-2023 by Ord. No. 23-28]
(1) 
Without limitation, such uses include the following:
(a) 
Any restaurant in which alcoholic beverages are served or sold (some are prohibited in the B-2 District).
(b) 
(Reserved)
(c) 
Any tavern.
(d) 
Any liquor store.
(e) 
Any adult-oriented use, including, without limitation, an adult bookstore, adult club, adult dry cabaret, adult movie theater, adult video rental store, adult video store or adult viewing facility. In this chapter, an adult-oriented use (e.g., an adult dry cabaret) is classified and treated as a separate and distinct use from the closest type of non-adult-oriented use (e.g., a cabaret).
[1] 
Adult-oriented uses are allowed in the B-2 District, subject to the requirements of Article IX and all other applicable provisions of this chapter and of other Village ordinances and codes, provided that at the time the application for site and operational plan approval for the commencement or expansion of such proposed adult-oriented use is decided by the Village Plan Commission or Zoning Administrator:
[a] 
The physically separate defined area of the building in which an adult-oriented use is proposed to be commenced or expanded shall be not less than 300 feet in a direct line from the nearest lot line of any lot on which any school, church or day-care center for children is located or has a vested right to locate;
[b] 
The physically separate defined area of the building in which an adult-oriented use is proposed to be commenced or expanded shall be not less than 300 feet in a direct line from any land area zoned residential (including street and railroad rights-of-way); and
[c] 
The physically separate defined area of the building in which an adult-oriented use is proposed to be commenced or expanded shall be not less than 300 feet in a direct line from the physically separate defined area of the building in which any separately located adult-oriented use is located or has a vested right to locate.
[2] 
In the event that a proposed adult-oriented use involves a use which would otherwise require a conditional use permit (e.g., a proposed adult dry cabaret, involving a cabaret that would otherwise require a conditional use permit), the requirement of an adult-oriented-use license shall be substituted for the requirement of a conditional use permit. In the event that an existing use operating under a conditional use permit proposes to become an adult-oriented use (e.g., a cabaret for which a conditional use permit has been granted proposes to become an adult dry cabaret), the conditional use permit for the existing use shall automatically be terminated upon the granting of an adult-oriented-use license by the Village Board, so that the adult-oriented use will not be subject to conditional use permit requirements.
(2) 
The granting of a Village license by the Village Board is not assured either by permitted use status or by the granting of a conditional use permit or of any other permit or approval under this chapter.
F.

(3) 
Permitted uses allowed in the B-2 District and their related accessory uses and conditional uses allowed in the B-2 District and their related accessory uses may be located separately or together, and may be conducted separately or together, in the same principal building in the B-2 District; provided, however, that the area of a building occupied by a conditional use and any related accessory uses shall be a physically separate defined area in which any proposed new use of any kind (or any use of any kind existing as of the time when the conditional use permit for such conditional use or any amendment of such permit is approved) shall be allowed only pursuant to and in accordance with the conditional use permit issued for such conditional use under Article XVIII of this chapter.
(4) 
Nonconforming uses existing in the B-2 District as of the effective date of Ordinance No. 03-24 (June 4, 2003) and any related accessory uses existing as of such date may be continued in the same principal building with other uses; provided, however, that no nonconforming use and no accessory use to a nonconforming use may be extended or expanded into new areas, and no new accessory use related to such nonconforming use (and no prior accessory use to such nonconforming use that has been discontinued as an actively conducted use for a period of 12 or more consecutive months) may be commenced or recommenced, and further provided that the area of a building occupied by a nonconforming use and any related accessory uses shall be a physically separate defined area in which any proposed new use of any kind shall be prohibited.

A. 
Purpose and characteristics.
(1) 
The M-1 Limited Manufacturing District is intended to provide for limited manufacturing, wholesaling, warehousing and related uses within an enclosed structure wherein no high-hazard uses are allowed and the method of manufacturing is not injurious to the point of constituting a nuisance to the occupants of adjacent properties by reason of the emission or creation of noise, vibration, smoke, dust or particle matters, toxic or noxious materials, odors, fire or explosive hazards, glare or heat and located in those areas where the relationship to surrounding land uses would create few problems of compatibility. This district also allows for office parks or individual office buildings and ancillary uses, which may or may not include space for manufacturing, assemblies, or warehousing, but provide direct services to the employees or customers or other uses in the area. It is anticipated that these areas would be developed in an attractive parklike setting with landscaping, consistent signage, and similar or compatible building materials and designed to present an integrated image to customers. No such district shall be established unless it is in compliance with Village adopted or amended comprehensive, neighborhood and conceptual plans.
(2) 
The uses allowed in the M-1 District are based on the Use and Occupancy Classification specified in Chapter 3 of the 2006 International Building Code (2006 IBC), as may be amended from time to time. Where a use is proposed for a purpose that is not specifically provided in Chapter 3 of the 2006 IBC and is not specifically listed as a prohibited use in the M-1 District, such use shall be classified in the group that the occupancy most clearly resembles, according to the firesafety and relative hazard involved.

A. 
Purpose and characteristics.
(1) 
The M-2 General Manufacturing District is intended to provide for manufacturing, wholesaling, warehousing and related uses within an enclosed structure in which high-hazard uses are located within limited areas and the method of manufacturing is not injurious to the point of constituting a nuisance to the occupants of adjacent properties by reason of the emission or creation of noise, vibration, smoke, dust or particle matters, toxic or noxious materials, odors, fire or explosive hazards, glare or heat and located in those areas where the relationship to surrounding land uses would create few problems of compatibility. This district also allows for office parks or individual office buildings and ancillary uses, which may or may not include space for manufacturing, assemblies, or warehousing, but provide direct services to the employees or customers or other uses in the area. It is anticipated that these areas would be developed in an attractive parklike setting with landscaping, consistent signage, and similar or compatible building materials and designed to present an integrated image to customers. No such district shall be established unless it is in compliance with Village adopted or amended comprehensive, neighborhood and conceptual plans.
(2) 
The uses allowed in the M-2 District are based on the Use and Occupancy Classification specified in Chapter 3 of the 2006 International Building Code (2006 IBC), as may be amended from time to time. Where a use is proposed for a purpose that is not specifically provided in Chapter 3 of the 2006 IBC and is not specifically listed as a prohibited use in the M-2 District, such use shall be classified in the group that the occupancy most clearly resembles, according to the firesafety and relative hazard involved. The Zoning Administrator shall make the final determination if the use is allowed within the M-2 District.

A. 
Purpose and characteristics.
(1) 
The M-5 Production Manufacturing District is intended to provide for manufacturing, assembly, office, and research and development uses with limited warehouse and distribution uses within an enclosed structure wherein no high hazard uses are allowed and the method of manufacturing is not injurious to the point of constituting a nuisance to the occupants of adjacent properties by reason of the emission or creation of noise, vibration, smoke, dust or particle matters, toxic or noxious materials, odors, fire or explosive hazards, glare or heat and located in those areas where the relationship to surrounding land uses would create few problems of compatibility. This district also allows for office parks or individual office buildings and ancillary uses, which may or may not include space for manufacturing, assemblies, or research and development but provides direct services to the employees or customers or other uses in the area. It is anticipated that these areas would be developed in an attractive corporate parklike setting with landscaping, consistent signage, and similar or compatible building materials and designed to present an integrated image to customers. No such district shall be established unless it is in compliance with Village adopted or amended comprehensive, neighborhood and conceptual plans.
(2) 
Some of the uses allowed in the M-5 District are based on the Use and Occupancy Classification specified in Chapter 3 of the 2006 International Building Code (2006 IBC), as may be amended from time to time. Where a use is proposed for a purpose that is not specifically provided in Chapter 3 of the 2006 IBC and is not specifically listed as a prohibited use in the M-5 District, such use shall be classified in the group that the occupancy most clearly resembles, according to the firesafety and relative hazard involved. The Zoning Administrator shall make the final determination if the use is allowed within the M-5 District.

A. 
Primary purpose and characteristics. The C-1 Lowland Resource Conservancy District is intended to be used to prevent destruction of valuable natural or man-made resources and to protect watercourses and wetlands, including the shorelands of navigable waters, and areas that are not naturally drained, or which are subject to periodic flooding, where development would result in hazards to health or safety and or would deplete or destroy natural resources or be otherwise incompatible with public welfare. Wetlands are unique and valuable natural resources that are becoming rare in Wisconsin and have many benefits. Wetlands filter nutrients and sediments out of water, keeping our lakes and streams clean; wetlands reduce flood damage by storing runoff from heavy rains or snow melt; wetlands are spawning and nursery areas for fish such as northern pike; wetlands are home to waterfowl, songbirds, pheasants, fur-bearers, and a number of rare or endangered animal and plant species; wetlands buffer adjacent uplands against wave and current erosion; and wetlands are scenic.
B. 
Designation of lowland conservancy areas. Lands mapped as wetlands have soils formed under wet conditions and have water at or near the surface often enough to be able to support plants adapted to wet conditions. For the purpose of determining which areas are to be located in the C-1 Lowland Resource Conservancy District, the Village Community Development Department has established wetland map resources which reflect the best data available to the Village. The district delineation process shall make use of the 2005 Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Final Wetland Inventory Maps, as may be amended from time to time, in delineating wetlands.
[Amended 10-6-2008 by Ord. No. 08-51]
C. 
Mapping disputes. Whenever there is a discrepancy between the Official Zoning Map and actual field conditions, the discrepancy shall be resolved by the property owner or his/her agent by completing a wetland staking by a qualified biologist by any manner specified below:
[Amended 3-7-2016 by Ord. No. 16-03]
(1) 
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WI DNR) assured biologist. The WI DNR offers a program for wetland consultants to have WI DNR assess their accuracy in determining wetland boundaries. Individuals are assured for purposes of State of Wisconsin permits and state-mandated local programs. By using an assured biologist, concurrence from WI DNR is not needed and wetland delineation issues are unlikely to cause delays in state permit decisions for sites at which these individuals are the lead field delineator and report author. Using this method allows for early planning and the permit application process to proceed more quickly. This approval, however, may not satisfy wetland requirements for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) for any required permits necessary from the ACOE. A list of WI DNR assured biologists can be found on the WI DNR website.
(a) 
The property owner or his/her agent contracts with a WI DNR assured biologist to complete a site investigation and wetland report and stake the location of the wetlands on the property, referred to as a "wetland staking."
(b) 
Upon completion of the wetland staking, the following shall be submitted to the Village:
[1] 
A letter from WI DNR verifying the biologist is a WI DNR assured biologist.
[2] 
A wetland report prepared by the biologist.
[3] 
A plat of survey prepared by a Wisconsin professional land surveyor that includes, at a minimum, the property boundaries and location of any structures on the property; location and legal description of the field-delineated wetlands; a note indicating the name of the biologist that completed the wetland staking and the date(s) the wetlands were staked; clear notations as to which areas are wetlands and which areas are uplands; and the square footage or acreage of each.
[Amended 7-20-2020 by Ord. No. 20-26]
[4] 
A complete application and application fee to amend the Village Comprehensive Land Use Map and the Village Zoning Map pursuant to Village requirements for said amendments.
(2) 
Non-WI DNR assured biologist. The property owner or his/her agent contracts with a qualified biologist to complete a site investigation and wetland report and stake the location of the wetlands on the property, referred to as a "wetland staking." Upon completion of the wetland staking and written approval from the WI DNR, the following shall be submitted to the Village:
(a) 
A letter from WI DNR approving the wetland staking.
(b) 
A wetland report prepared by the biologist.
(c) 
A plat of survey prepared by a Wisconsin professional land surveyor that includes, at a minimum, the property boundaries and location of any structures on the property; location and legal description of the field-delineated wetlands; a note indicating the name of the biologist that completed the wetland staking and the date(s) the wetlands were staked; clear notations as to which areas are wetlands and which areas are uplands; and the square footage or acreage of each.
[Amended 7-20-2020 by Ord. No. 20-26]
(d) 
A complete application and application fee to amend the Village Comprehensive Land Use Map and the Village Zoning Map pursuant to Village requirements for said amendments.
(3) 
Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) staff biologist. The Village will, upon receipt of a complete application, coordinate with the staff biologist from the SEWRPC, based on their availability, a site investigation and wetland report and stake the location of the wetlands on the property, referred to as a "wetland staking." The following procedure will be used:
(a) 
The property owner or his/her agent shall submit a completed wetland staking application form to the Community Development Department. In addition, the property owner/agent shall submit an application fee pursuant to Article V of this chapter.
(b) 
The property owner or his/her agent shall have the property boundaries clearly delineated and staked on the site by a Wisconsin professional land surveyor so that the field biologist can clearly identify the site boundaries.
[Amended 7-20-2020 by Ord. No. 20-26]
(c) 
Upon receipt of the completed application, the Community Development Department staff shall forward a written request letter to SEWRPC to schedule the services of its field biologist.
(d) 
A representative from SEWRPC will contact the Village staff with the date and time of the field staking appointment. The staking appointment may be scheduled more than 90 days after the receipt of a completed application by the Village. The Community Development Department or SEWRPC will notify the owner or his/her agent of the appointment date and approximate time so that the owner/agent can notify the Wisconsin professional land surveyor.
[Amended 7-20-2020 by Ord. No. 20-26]
(e) 
The SEWRPC field biologist will field-stake the wetlands by flagging the limits of the wetlands on the subject property.
(f) 
The property owner/agent shall contact his/her Wisconsin professional land surveyor to prepare a plat of survey of the wetlands within five days from the date of the biologist's field staking. The owner/agent shall submit the plat of survey to the Community Development Department within 30 days from the date of the biologist's staking.
[Amended 7-20-2020 by Ord. No. 20-26]
(g) 
The plat of survey, as certified by a Wisconsin professional land surveyor, shall include, at a minimum, the following information: the property boundaries and all structures on the property; the location of the wetlands as staked in the field by the biologist, including a legal description of the wetland area(s); a notation of the date when the wetlands were field-staked and which agency, that is, "Wetland boundary as marked by (agency) SEWRPC on (date) August 5, 1996"; clear notations as to which areas are wetlands and which areas are uplands; and the square footage or acreage of each.
[Amended 7-20-2020 by Ord. No. 20-26]
(h) 
If the plat of survey is not completed and received by the Community Development Department within the required 30 days from the date of the field staking, the Village will, after providing notice, have the plat of survey completed, and all associated costs will be invoiced to the property owner pursuant to application requirements (pre-development agreement) specified in Article V of this chapter.
(i) 
Upon receipt of the plat of survey, the Village will forward a copy of the plat of survey to the SEWRPC for final review and approval.
(j) 
Within 30 days of receipt of the final written approval from SEWRPC, the Village will initiate an application to amend the Village Comprehensive Land Use Map and the Village Zoning Map pursuant to Village requirements for said amendments. All associated costs will be invoiced to the property owner pursuant to application requirements (pre-development agreement) specified in Article V of this chapter.

A. 
Primary purpose and characteristics. The C-3 Natural and Scientific Area Resource Conservancy District is intended to preserve and enhance existing natural features, including scenic, historic, and scientific areas and associated plant and animal communities, and to prevent the destruction of valuable natural, scenic and scientific resources, including wetlands, shorelands or navigable waters, prairies, meadows, sand dunes, woodlands, wildlife habitat and areas with high erosion hazard. Incompatible development in these areas may result in hazards to the public health and safety, may deplete or destroy invaluable and irreplaceable natural resources, or may be otherwise detrimental to public welfare.
B. 
Designation of the natural and scientific area resource conservancy areas.
(1) 
Lands mapped as natural and scientific areas include those lands identified in a continuous open space preservation consisting of continuous environmental corridor, including valuable natural, scenic and scientific resources of special scientific interest, wildlife habitat areas, and critical plant habitat areas where several Wisconsin rare, threatened or endangered plant species are identified, wetlands, prairies, meadows, sand dunes, woodlands and areas subject to flooding and high erosion hazards.
(2) 
For the purpose of determining which areas are to be located in the C-3 Natural and Scientific Area Resource Conservancy District, the Village Community Development Department has conservancy areas mapped as natural and scientific resources as a result of the planning and study efforts encompassed in the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission's Community Assistance Planning Report, titled "A Land Use Management Plan for the Chiwaukee Prairie-Carol Beach Area of the Town of Pleasant Prairie." The resulting Land Use Management Plan provides a technically sound, long-term guide to natural resource base protection and preservation. The Land Use Management Plan seeks to preserve a substantial portion of the existing natural features of the area through the maintenance of a continuous environmental corridor connecting the Kenosha Sand Dunes on the north end and the area with the Chiwaukee Prairie Preserve on the south end. The Land Use Management Plan identifies the lands within the corridor to be acquired and maintained as a natural area/wildlife area by a combination of state and private conservancy interests. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the Nature Conservancy of Wisconsin have identified land acquisition areas for permanent resource protection.
C. 
Mapping corrections in the C-3 District. Upon the public or the private, nonprofit purchase of land within the Chiwaukee Prairie and Carol Beach Area pursuant to Map 35 on Page 166 of the Community Assistance Planning Report No. 88 prepared by SEWRPC entitled "A Land Use Management Plan for the Chiwaukee Prairie-Carol Beach Area of the Town of Pleasant Prairie," the Village shall initiate the process to rezone the property into the C-3 Natural and Scientific Resource Conservancy District.

A. 
Authorization. The Floodplain Overlay District (or FPO), which includes both the floodway and flood-fringe areas, is hereby created, and the regulations set out in this section are hereby adopted, pursuant to the authorization and mandate of §§ 61.35, 62.23 and 87.30, Wis. Stats.
B. 
Finding of fact. Uncontrolled development and use of the floodplains, rivers and streams of the Village of Pleasant Prairie would adversely affect the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare and impair the tax base of the Village.
C. 
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to regulate land use, development and development-related activities in flood hazard areas in order to:
(1) 
Protect life, health and property;
(2) 
Minimize expenditures of public moneys for costly flood-control projects;
(3) 
Minimize rescue and relief efforts which are generally undertaken at the expense of the taxpaying public;
(4) 
Minimize business interruptions which usually result in the loss of local incomes;
(5) 
Minimize damage to public facilities, such as water mains, sewer lines, streets and bridges, which are located within floodplain areas;
(6) 
Minimize the occurrence of future flood blight areas;
(7) 
Discourage the victimization of unwary land and home buyers;
(8) 
Prevent increases in regional flood heights that could increase flood damage and result in conflicts or litigation between property owners; and
(9) 
Prohibit development in the floodplain that is not expressly allowed as a conditional use pursuant to this section.
D. 
Title. This section shall be known as the "Floodplain Zoning Ordinance of the Village of Pleasant Prairie."
E. 
Areas regulated. Areas regulated by this section include all areas within the limits of the Village of Pleasant Prairie (Village) that would be covered by water in the event of a regional flood or base flood as shown the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) or other maps approved by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR), FEMA, and described in Subsection I below or that would become a floodplain island surrounded by water in the event of a regional flood. Regional flood elevations (RFE) may be derived from other studies as referenced in this section. If more than one map or revision is referenced, the most restrictive information shall apply.
F. 
Establishment of FPO District. The FPO Floodplain Overlay District established by this section consists of the floodplain or A Zone (as defined in Subsection CC below) and includes both the floodway and the flood fringe (as defined in Subsection CC below). The floodplain or A Zone may contain lands within the A, AE, AH and AO Zones on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps.
G. 
Annexed areas. This section shall automatically apply to any floodplain area within land annexed by the Village from and after the time the annexation takes effect. The Kenosha County floodplain zoning provisions and mapping in effect with respect to any annexed land at the time the annexation takes effect shall remain in effect and be enforced by the Village to the extent provided by law, and in any event the county floodplain mapping shall remain effective until such time as a Village floodplain map amendment takes effect. The ordinance amendment shall meet the requirements of Ch. NR 116, Wis. Adm. Code, and 44 CFR 59-72, National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
H. 
Relationship of FPO regulations to regulations imposed by underlying basic zoning ordinance and other Village ordinances. Any land use, development or development-related activity within the Floodplain Overlay District shall satisfy all requirements imposed by this chapter (including, without limitation, general requirements, requirements relating to specific conditional uses, and requirements relating to basic underlying zoning districts) and all requirements imposed by all other applicable Village ordinances, as well as all requirements imposed by this section with respect to floodplain areas. In the event of any conflict between any such requirements, the most restrictive shall be controlling.
I. 
Official floodplain maps and studies.
(1) 
Subject to the provisions of Subsections O, R and S below, the boundaries of the floodplain areas, including both the floodway and the flood-fringe areas, and the boundaries of the floodway areas (all as defined in Subsection CC below), and the water surface elevations of the regional flood profile, are as designated on the official floodplain maps or as stated in or determinable from other official DNR- and FEMA-approved technical studies, listed below, which are hereby adopted and incorporated by reference. These official floodplain maps and studies are on file in the office of the Village of Pleasant Prairie Zoning Administrator. In the event of a conflict between any of the maps or studies referred to in this Subsection I, the most restrictive information shall apply.

Hydraulic and hydrologic analyses.
(a) 
No land use, development or development-related activity, except as provided below, shall be permitted in floodplain areas which will:
[1] 
Cause any obstruction to flow, defined as development which blocks the conveyance of floodwaters by itself or with other development causing any increase in the regional flood height; or
[2] 
Cause an increase in regional flood height due to floodplain storage area lost.
(b) 
Any proposed land use, development or development-related activity which will obstruct flow or result in an increase in the regional flood height may be permitted only if appropriate amendments are made to the applicable official floodplain map(s), including floodplain and/or floodway boundary lines and water surface profiles of the regional flood, as applicable, in accordance with Subsection T below.
(c) 
The Village Zoning Administrator and other appropriate Village officials and bodies shall deny any application for an administrative permit or approval when it is determined that the proposed land use, development or development-related activity will obstruct flow or cause any increase in the upstream or downstream regional flood height, based on the available data, or when the applicant fails to satisfy the applicant's burden of proof relating to such issues.
K. 
Floodplain issues and discrepancies.
(1) 
Whenever an issue relating to floodplain-related matters arises, it shall be administratively determined in the first instance by the Village Zoning Administrator.
(2) 
Where an apparent discrepancy exists between the location of the floodplain boundary [as shown on the applicable official floodplain map(s)] and actual field conditions, the location of such boundary shall be initially determined by the Village Zoning Administrator or other appropriate Village officials or bodies, depending upon the nature of the permit, approval or issue involved, using the following criteria:
(a) 
Where flood profiles of the regional flood exist, the location of the floodplain boundary line shall be determined using both the scale and contours appearing on the official floodplain map (or on a more accurate topographic map if available) and the water surface elevations shown on the flood profile of the regional flood. Where a discrepancy exists between the official floodplain map and actual field conditions, the regional flood elevations shall govern.
(b) 
Where the base flood elevation has been determined pursuant to the official floodplain map (Zone A of the FIRM) or any designated navigable waterway where a floodplain study has not been completed, a detailed study to determine the base flood elevation shall be completed and approved by the DNR and FEMA and this section shall be amended.

[ii] 
Channel sections must be surveyed.
[iii] 
Minimum four-foot contour data in the overbanks shall be used for the development of cross-section overbank and floodplain mapping.
[iv] 
A maximum distance of 500 feet between cross sections is allowed in developed areas with additional intermediate cross sections required at transitions in channel bottom slope, including a survey of the channel at each location.
[v] 
The most current version of HEC-RAS shall be used.
[vi] 
A survey of bridge and culvert openings and the top of road is required at each structure.
[vii] 
Additional cross sections are required at the downstream and upstream limits of the proposed development and any necessary intermediate locations based on the length of the reach if greater than 500 feet.
[viii] 
Standard accepted engineering practices shall be used when assigning parameters for the base model such as flow, Manning's N values, expansion and contraction coefficients or effective flow limits. The base model shall be calibrated to past flooding data such as high water marks to determine the reasonableness of the model results. If no historical data is available, adequate justification shall be provided for any parameters outside standard accepted engineering practices.

Hydrology. If the proposed hydrology will change the existing study, the appropriate method to be used shall be based on § NR 116.07(3), Wis. Adm. Code, Hydrologic Analysis: Determination of Regional Flood Discharge.
[b] 
Hydraulic model. The regional flood elevation shall be based on the standards in § NR 116.07(4), Wis. Adm. Code, Hydraulic Analysis: Determination of Regional Flood Elevation, and the following:
[i] 
Duplicate Effective Model. The Effective Model shall be reproduced to ensure correct transference of the model data and to allow integration of the revised data to provide a continuous FIS model upstream and downstream of the revised reach. If data from the effective model is available, models shall be generated that duplicate the FIS profiles and the elevations shown in the Floodway Data Table in the FIS report to within 0.1 foot.
[ii] 
Corrected Effective Model. The Corrected Effective Model shall not include any man-made physical changes since the Effective Model date but shall import the model into the most current version of HEC-RAS for DNR review.
[iii] 
Existing (Pre-Project Conditions) Model. The Existing Model shall be required to support conclusions about the actual impacts of the project associated with the Revised (Post-Project) Model or to establish more up-to-date models on which to base the Revised (Post-Project) Model.
[iv] 
Revised (Post-Project Conditions) Model. The Revised (Post-Project Conditions) Model shall incorporate the Existing Model and any proposed changes to the topography caused by the proposed development. This model shall reflect proposed conditions.
[v] 
All changes to the Duplicate Effective Model and subsequent models must be supported by certified topographic information, bridge plans, construction plans and survey notes.

Changes to the hydraulic models shall be limited to the stream reach for which the revision is being requested. Cross sections upstream and downstream of the revised reach shall be identical to those in the Effective Model and result in water surface elevations and top widths computed by the Revised Models matching those in the Effective Models upstream and downstream of the revised reach as required. The Effective Model shall not be truncated.
[c] 
Mapping. Maps and associated engineering data shall be submitted to the DNR for review which meet the following conditions:
[i] 
Consistency between the revised hydraulic models, the revised floodplain and floodway delineations, the revised flood profiles, topographic work map, annotated FIRMs and/or Flood Boundary Floodway Maps (FBFMs), construction plans, bridge plans.
[ii] 
Certified topographic map of suitable scale, contour interval, and a planimetric map showing the applicable items. If a digital version of the map is available, it may be submitted in order that the FIRM may be more easily revised.
[iii] 
Annotated FIRM panel showing the revised one-percent- and 0.2-percent-annual-chance floodplains and floodway boundaries.
[iv] 
If an annotated FIRM and/or FBFM and digital mapping data (GIS or CADD) are used, then all supporting documentation or metadata must be included with the data submission along with the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection and State Plane Coordinate System in accordance with FEMA mapping specifications.
[v] 
The revised floodplain boundaries shall tie into the effective floodplain boundaries.
[vi]

Q. 
Nonconforming uses.
(1) 
General.
(a) 
Applicability. These regulations apply to the modification of, or addition to, any structure, and to the use of any structure or premises, which was lawful before the passage of this section or any amendment thereto, including, without limitation, any text amendment or any amendment to the official floodplain map or to the regional flood profiles.
(2) 
The existing lawful use of a structure or building which is not in conformity with the provisions of this section may continue subject to the following conditions:
(a) 
No modifications or additions to a nonconforming use or nonconforming structure shall be permitted unless they are made in conformity with the provisions of this section for the area of the floodplain occupied and the other applicable provisions of this chapter. The words "modification" and "addition" include, but are not limited to, any alteration, addition, modification, structural repair, rebuilding or replacement of any such existing use or structure or accessory structure or use. Maintenance is not considered a modification. Maintenance activities include such items as internal and external painting, decorating, paneling and the replacement of doors, windows and other nonstructural components and the maintenance, repair or replacement of existing private sewage or water supply systems or connections to public utilities. Any costs associated with the repair of a damaged structure are not considered maintenance.
(b) 
If a nonconforming use or the use of a nonconforming structure is discontinued for 12 consecutive months it is no longer permitted, and any future use of the property, and of any structure or building thereon, shall conform to the applicable requirements of this section.
(c) 
As requests are received by the Village for modifications or additions to nonconforming uses or nonconforming structures, a record shall be kept which lists the nonconforming uses and nonconforming structures, their present equalized assessed value, the cost of those additions or modifications which have been permitted, and the percentage of the structure's total current value such additions or modifications represent.
(d) 
No modification or addition to any nonconforming structure or any structure with a nonconforming use which, over the life of the structure, would equal or exceeds 50% of its present equalized assessed value shall be allowed unless the entire structure is permanently changed to a conforming structure with a conforming use in compliance with the applicable requirements of this section. Contiguous dry land access must be provided for residential and commercial uses in compliance with Ch. NR 116, Wis. Adm. Code. The costs of elevating the lowest floor of a nonconforming building or a building with a nonconforming use to the flood-protection elevation are excluded from the fifty-percent provisions of this subsection.
(e) 
If any nonconforming structure or any structure with a nonconforming use is destroyed or is so badly damaged that it cannot be practically restored, it cannot be replaced, reconstructed or rebuilt unless the use and the structure satisfy the requirements of this section. For the purpose of this subsection, restoration is deemed impractical where the total cost of such restoration would equal or exceeds 50% of the present equalized assessed value of the structure. For nonconforming buildings that are substantially damaged or destroyed by a nonflood disaster, the repair or reconstruction of any such nonconforming building shall be permitted in order to restore it, to the size and use in effect prior to the damage event, provided that the minimum federal code requirements below are met and all required permits have been granted prior to the start of construction.
[1] 
Residential structures.
[a] 
Shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to or above the base flood elevation using fill, pilings, columns, posts or perimeter walls. Perimeter walls must meet the requirements of Subsection S(2).
[b] 
Shall be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of buoyancy, and shall be constructed with methods and materials resistant to flood damage.

In AO Zones with no elevations specified, shall have the lowest floor, including basement, meet one of the following conditions below, whichever is higher:
[i] 
At or above the flood-protection elevation; or
[ii] 
Two feet above the highest adjacent grade around the structure; or
[iii] 
The depth as shown on the FIRM.
(f) 
A nonconforming historic structure may be altered if the alteration will not preclude the structure's continued designation as an historic structure, the alteration will comply with § 420-131J, M, N and O; flood-resistant materials are used; and construction practices and floodproofing methods that comply with § 420-131S are used. Repair or rehabilitation of historic structures shall be exempt from the development standards of Subsection Q(2)(e)[1] if it is determined that the proposed repair or rehabilitation will not preclude the structure's continued designation as an historic structure and is the minimum necessary to preserve the historic character and design of the structure.
(g) 
No modification or addition to any nonconforming structure or any structure with a nonconforming use, the cost of which would equal or exceed 50% of its present equalized assessed value, shall be allowed unless the entire structure is permanently changed to a conforming structure with a conforming use in compliance with the applicable requirements of this section. Contiguous dry land access shall be provided for residential and commercial uses in compliance with Subsection S(4).
(h) 
If, on a per-event basis, the total value of the work being done under Subsection Q(2)(d) and (g) equals or exceeds 50% of the present equalized assessed value, the work shall be permitted unless the entire structure is permanently changed to a conforming structure with a conforming use in compliance with the applicable requirements of this section. Contiguous dry land access shall be provided for residential and commercial uses in compliance with Subsection S(4).
(3) 
Floodway areas.
(a) 
Modification or addition.
[1]

[2] 
An addition to the existing structure shall be floodproofed, pursuant to Subsection S, by means other than the use of fill, to the flood-protection elevation.
[3] 
If any part of the foundation below the flood-protection elevation is enclosed, the following standards shall apply:
[a] 
The enclosed area shall be designed by a registered architect or registered professional engineer to allow for the efficient entry and exit of floodwaters without human intervention. A minimum of two openings must be provided with a minimum net area of at least one square inch for every one square foot of the enclosed area. The lowest part of the opening can be no more than 12 inches above the adjacent grade;
[Amended 7-20-2020 by Ord. No. 20-26]
[b] 
The parts of the foundation located below the flood-protection elevation must be constructed of flood-resistant materials;
[c] 
Mechanical and utility equipment must be elevated or floodproofed to or above the flood-protection elevation; and
[4] 
The use must be limited to parking, building access or limited storage.
(b) 
No new private sewage disposal system, or addition to an existing private sewage disposal system, except where an addition has been ordered by a government agency to correct a hazard to public health, shall be allowed in a floodway area. Any replacement, repair or maintenance of an existing private sewage disposal system in a floodway area shall satisfy the applicable requirements of all applicable Village or other local ordinances and Ch. SPS 383, Wis. Adm. Code.
(c) 
No new well or modification to an existing well used to obtain water for ultimate human consumption shall be allowed in a floodway area. Any replacement, repair or maintenance of an existing well in a floodway area shall satisfy the applicable requirements of all applicable Village or other local ordinances and Chs. NR 811 and NR 812, Wis. Adm. Code.
(4) 
Flood-fringe areas.
(a) 
No modification or addition shall be allowed to any nonconforming structure or any structure with a nonconforming use unless such modification or addition has been granted a permit or variance by the Village. In addition, the modification or addition shall be placed on fill or floodproofed to the flood-protection elevation in compliance with the standards in Subsection S, except where Subsection Q(4)(b) below is applicable.
(b) 
Where compliance with the provisions of Subsection Q(4)(a) above would result in unnecessary hardship, and only where the structure will not be used for human habitation or be associated with a high flood damage potential, the Zoning Board of Appeals, using the procedures established in Subsection R, may grant a variance from those provisions for modifications or additions, using the criteria listed below. Modifications or additions which are protected to elevations lower than the flood-protection elevation may be permitted, provided that:
[1] 
No floor (excluding the basement or crawlway) is allowed below the regional flood elevation for residential or commercial structures;
[2] 
Human lives are not endangered;
[3] 
Public facilities, such as water or sewer, shall not be installed;

(d) 
All new wells, or addition to, replacement, repair or maintenance of a well, shall meet the applicable provisions of this section and Chs. NR 811 and NR 812, Wis. Adm. Code.
(5) 
It is the intent of this section that in the event a building permit is validly granted or issued on the basis of the best currently available information relating to the floodplain, floodway or regional flood profiles but a subsequently conducted floodplain study demonstrates that such information was not accurate and that the permit would not be granted or issued in light of the newer information, such permit shall not be deemed to have been granted or issued in error so as to prevent the vesting of rights based upon reasonable detrimental reliance on such permit or approval. In the event of reasonable detrimental reliance upon a Village building permit under these circumstances, the status of the land use, development or development-related activity in question shall be that of a valid nonconforming use or valid nonconforming structure, provided that the requirements for such status, in addition to being lawful in its inception, are satisfied.
R. 
Zoning Board of Appeals.
(1) 
The Village Zoning Board of Appeals, created under § 62.23(7)(e), Wis. Stats., is hereby authorized to hear and decide, pursuant to the specific requirements of this section and in accordance with the procedures and requirements specified in Article V of Chapter 18 of the Village Municipal Code:

Variances shall only be granted upon a showing of good and sufficient cause, shall be the minimum relief necessary, shall not cause increased risks to public safety or nuisances, shall not increase costs for rescue and relief efforts and shall not be contrary to the purpose of the ordinance.
(c) 
A variance shall not:
[1] 
Grant, extend or increase any land use or development prohibited in the floodplain (or in the floodway, if applicable).
[2] 
Be granted for a hardship based solely on an economic gain or loss.
[3] 
Be granted for a hardship which is self-created.
[4] 
Damage the rights or property values of other persons in the area.
[5] 
Permit a lower degree of flood protection in the floodplain than the flood-protection elevation.
[6] 
Allow any floor of a basement or crawl space below the regional flood elevation for residential, commercial or industrial structures.
[7] 
Allow any land use or development which requires an amendment to this section, the official floodplain maps or the regional flood profiles.
[8] 
Allow any alteration of an historic structure, including its use, which would preclude its continued designation as an historic structure.
(d) 
When a variance is granted in a floodplain area, the Board shall notify the applicant in writing that increased flood insurance premiums and risks to life and property may result. A copy of this notification shall be maintained with the variance appeal record.
(4) 
Appeals. Appeals to the Zoning Board of Appeals may be taken by any person aggrieved, or by any officer or department of the Village affected by any decision of the Zoning Administrator or other administrative officer. Such appeal shall be taken within 30 days unless otherwise provided by the rules of the Board, by filing with the official whose decision is in question, and with the Board, a notice of appeal specifying the reasons for the appeal. The official whose decision is in question shall transmit to the Board all records regarding the matter appealed.
(a) 
The Zoning Board of Appeals shall review all data related to the appeal. This may include:
[1] 
Permit application data listed in Subsection L;

(g) 
All channel relocations and changes to the official floodplain maps to alter floodway lines or to remove an area from the floodplain that is based on a base flood elevation from a FIRM requires prior approval by FEMA.
(2) 
Criteria for amending the floodplain boundary. The Village shall not permit amendments to the floodplain boundary that are inconsistent with the purposes of this section or in conflict with the applicable rules of the DNR and FEMA. In addition:
(a) 
Amendments to the floodplain boundaries shall not be permitted where the change will increase the regional flood stage elevation unless the applicant has made appropriate legal arrangements with the Village, any other affected governmental units, and any other property owners affected by the flood stage increase.
(b) 
The floodplain boundary shall not be amended without first:
[1] 
Providing the Village with updated engineering data and computations necessary to correctly determine the floodplain boundary and submitting detailed engineering plans for redelineating the floodplain boundary;
[2] 
Amending this section;
[3] 
Obtaining approval from the DNR; and
[4] 
Obtaining approval from FEMA in the form of a letter of map change approved by FEMA.
(c) 
Petitions for the floodplain amendments shall provide adjusted water surface profiles and adjusted floodplain limits to reflect the increased flood elevations.
(d) 
Any area removed from the floodplain shall be contiguous to land lying outside the floodplain.
(e) 
Whenever any volume of flood storage capacity is removed from the floodplain, as defined by the ground surface and the regional flood elevation, an equal volume of flood storage capacity shall be created within the existing or newly created floodplain boundary, in the vicinity of the removal, to compensate for the lost flood storage capacity. Excavation below the ordinary high-water mark shall not be considered as providing any equal volume of storage capacity for compensation purposes. Any such area of compensating flood storage capacity shall drain freely to the receiving stream.
[Amended 3-17-2014 by Ord. No. 14-04]
(f) 
Removal of land from the floodplain shall not be permitted unless the land has been filled to an elevation at least two feet above the elevation of the floodplain.

U. 
Watercourse alterations. Prior to any alteration or relocation of a watercourse, and prior to the issuance of any zoning, building, land disturbance or other Village permit or approval which may be required for the alteration or relocation of a watercourse, the Village Zoning Administrator shall notify, in writing, any adjacent municipality, the appropriate district office of the DNR and the appropriate office of FEMA within six months and shall require the applicant to obtain all necessary state and federal permits and approvals. Without respect to any other restrictions that may be imposed, the flood-carrying capacity within the altered or relocated portion of any watercourse shall be maintained and standards specified in Subsection J above are required.
V. 
Development or development-related activity requiring a DNR permit. Any development or development-related activity which requires a permit from the DNR under Ch. 30 or 31, Wis. Stats., such as docks, piers, wharves, bridges, culverts, dams, navigational aids or channel improvements, may be allowed, provided that such DNR permits and all necessary local permits or approvals are obtained and that all necessary amendments to this section, including amendments of the official floodplain map, the boundaries of the floodplain and floodway, and the water surface elevations of the regional flood, as applicable, are made in accordance with Subsection T above.
W. 
Compliance. Any land use development or development-related activity within the areas regulated by this section shall be in full compliance with the terms of this section and all other applicable local, state, and federal statutes, ordinances, regulations and permits. Unless specifically exempted by law, the Village is required to comply with this section and obtain all necessary permits. State agencies are required to comply if § 13.48(13), Wis. Stats., applies. The construction, reconstruction, maintenance and repair of state highways and bridges by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is exempt when § 30.2022, Wis. Stats., applies.
X. 
Abrogation and greater restrictions.
(1) 
This section supersedes all of the provisions of any municipal zoning ordinance relating to the floodplain areas or enacted under § 61.35 or 87.30, Wis. Stats., which relate to floodplains, except that where any other such municipal zoning provision is more restrictive than the provisions contained in this section, such other provision shall continue in full force and effect to the extent of the greater restrictions, but not otherwise.
(2) 
This section is not intended to repeal, abrogate or impair any existing deed restrictions, convents or easements. However, where this section imposes greater restrictions, the provisions of this section shall prevail.
Y. 
Interpretation. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this section shall be held to be minimum requirements liberally construed in favor of the governing body and shall not be deemed a limitation on or repeal of any other powers granted by the Wisconsin Statutes. Where a provision of this section is required by a standard in Ch. NR 116, Wis. Adm. Code, and where the provision in this section is unclear, the provision shall be interpreted in light of the Ch. NR 116 standards in effect on the date of the adoption of this section or in effect on the date of the most recent text amendment to this section.
Z. 
Warning and disclaimer of liability. The degree of flood protection provided by this section is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on engineering experience and methods of study. Larger floods may occur or the flood height may be increased by man-made or natural causes, such as ice jams or bridge openings restricted by debris. Therefore, this section does not imply that areas outside of the delineated floodplain or permitted land uses within the floodplain will be totally free from flooding and associated flood damages, nor does this section create liability on the part of, or a cause of action against, the municipality or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damage that may result from reliance on this section.
AA. 
Enforcement and penalties. Any violation of the provisions of this section by any person shall be unlawful and shall be referred to the Village Attorney for expeditious prosecution of all such violations. A violator shall, upon conviction, forfeit to the Village a penalty of not less than $5 and not more than $50, together with the current cost and processing fees of such action. Each day of continued violation shall constitute a separate offense. Every violation of this section is a public nuisance, and the creation of such nuisance may be enjoined and its maintenance may be abated by action or suit of the Village, the state, or any citizen thereof pursuant to § 87.30, Wis. Stats.
BB. 
Severability. Should any portion of this section be declared unconstitutional or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remained of this section shall not be affected.
CC. 
Definitions. For purposes of this section, words and phrases defined in this Subsection CC shall have the meaning stated below. Words and phrases not defined below in this subsection shall have the common, ordinary meaning which results in the most reasonable interpretation and application of this section in light of the stated purposes of this section.

Editor's Note: Former § 420-134, Auto Agricultural Land Holding Overlay District, as amended, was repealed 3-15-2010 by Ord. No. 10-09.
A. 
Primary purpose and characteristics.
(1) 
This district is intended to be used where land is expected to experience further urban or suburban development in accordance with underlying zoning but where such development cannot be permitted at the present time due to the existence of one or more deficiencies, including lack of essential services, such as municipal sanitary sewers, water or stormwater management facilities and proper drainage, or the need to provide for access to landlocked lands, or the establishment of street grades that are coordinated, or similar neighborhood development matters.
(2) 
Accordingly, existing uses are permitted to continue as they are, but any expansions or additions thereof are only allowable with approval of site plans as noted under Subsection I below.
(3) 
New uses requiring the issuance of building or zoning permits shall not be permitted until this overlay district is first removed by the Village of Pleasant Prairie by a Zoning Map amendment, and the petition to remove such overlay shall address the neighborhood development matters requiring consideration, unless neighborhood plans or other actions, such as municipal utility extensions, have already been made.
B. 
Principal uses. Any existing principal use as permitted in the underlying basic use district, except that any expansions thereof shall be subject to review of site plans under Subsection I below.
C. 
Accessory uses. Any existing accessory use as permitted in the underlying basic use district, except that any expansions thereof shall be subject to review of site plans under Subsection I below.
D. 
Conditional uses. Any existing conditional use, or existing uses entitled to conditional use status which apply for such status, except that any expansion thereof shall, in addition to meeting the requirements for conditional uses of this chapter, in the process of having its conditions set, be subjected to the criteria established under Subsection I below.
E. 
Lot area and width.
(1) 
Lots shall have a lot area as required in the underlying basic use district.
(2) 
All lots shall have a lot width as required in the underlying basic use district.
F. 
Building height and area.
(1) 
No building or part of a building shall exceed 35 feet in height.
(2) 
The total floor area of any use shall not be less than that which is required in the underlying basic use district.
G. 
Setbacks.
(1) 
Street setback: as required in the underlying basic use district.
(2) 
Shore setback: as required in the underlying basic use district.
(3) 
Side setback: as required in the underlying basic use district.
(4) 
Rear setback: as required in the underlying basic use district.
H. 
Authorized sanitary sewer system and water supply system. As permitted in the underlying basic use district.
I. 
Review of site plans.
(1) 
Where existing uses wish to expand prior to removal of this district, before building and zoning permits are issued the applicant shall first obtain site plan approval from the Village Plan Commission. The purpose of such review is to establish that the expansion will not worsen an existing deficiency of the property or neighborhood nor prevent the eventual solution of such deficiencies. As experience with this problem is gained, the Village may from time to time issue checklists or guidelines for the applicant's use which outline information or analyses required to answer the issues often posed in such reviews. An applicant under this provision shall be entitled to an acceptance, rejection, or suggested modification of the submitted site plan or related information within 45 days from the date of submittal to the Community Development Department. The aforesaid review may be waived by the Zoning Administrator of the Community Development Department if it is determined that the proposed expansion or addition of the existing use does not interfere with future expansion of streets or stormwater drainage or adversely affect future development or platting of the remainder of the site.
(2) 
New uses may only be permitted by the staff of the Zoning Administrator of the Community Development Department when it is determined that adequate neighborhood plans for future development exist or where such actions as extension of utilities have already been completed and a Zoning Map amendment has been adopted.
A. 
Primary purpose and characteristics. This district is intended to be placed on existing platted land where urban development could legally occur but where typical urban municipal services, such as municipal sanitary sewer, municipal water and effective stormwater management improvements, are not available and will not be available in the foreseeable future.
B. 
Limited urban services available.
(1) 
Properties within this district are not located within the Village of Pleasant Prairie Master Sanitary Sewer System Master Plan, which means that the Village has no plans in the foreseeable future to extend municipal sanitary sewer to service these properties and that these properties, if developed, will require a private on-site sewage disposal system or holding tank. In addition, the State of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has not included the properties within this district in the Sanitary Sewer Service Area, which means that the Village cannot extend sanitary sewers within this area.
(2) 
Properties within this district are not located within the Village of Pleasant Prairie Master Water Utility System Master Plan, which means that the Village has no plans in the foreseeable future to extend municipal water to service these properties and that if developed these properties will required a private well to be installed for potable water. In addition, since there is no municipal water service, no municipal fire hydrants are located in the area, and water for fire protection must be hauled by tanker.
(3) 
Properties within this district are known to have high groundwater levels, which are influenced both by Lake Michigan water levels and weather conditions.
(4) 
Properties in this district are frequently subject to standing surface water, in part because this area is not served by urban stormwater systems that can effectively and efficiently convey stormwater, and this situation may be exacerbated by further development. Such stormwater improvements would be very difficult or impossible to provide due to the high groundwater table, the generally level topography which precludes efficient drainage, the fact that any improvements would require a permit under Ch. 30, Wis. Stats., from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and the fact that the DNR has expressed serious concern that any such improvements would dewater the wetlands in the area.
(5) 
Properties within this district may be located adjacent to a dedicated public road right-of-way that is not improved, and the Village has no plans in the foreseeable future to make such improvements on roads in the area which have not already been improved.
C. 
Principal uses. Any principal use permitted in the underlying basic use zoning district.
D. 
Accessory uses. Any accessory use permitted in the underlying basic use zoning district.
E. 
Conditional uses. Any conditional use permitted in the underlying basic use zoning district.
F. 
Lot area and width.
(1) 
All lots shall have the minimum lot area required in the underlying basic use zoning district.
(2) 
All lots shall have the minimum lot width required in the underlying basic use zoning district.
G. 
Building height and area.
(1) 
Building height shall not exceed the height limitation in the underlying basic use zoning district.
(2) 
The total floor area of any use shall not be less than that which is required in the underlying basic use zoning district.
H. 
Setbacks.
(1) 
Street setback: as required in the underlying basic use zoning district.
(2) 
Shore setback: as required in the underlying basic use zoning district.
(3) 
Side setback: as required in the underlying basic use zoning district.
(4) 
Rear setback: as required in the underlying basic use zoning district.
I. 
Authorized sanitary sewer system. As permitted in the underlying basic use district.
J. 
A property owner who develops property located in the LUSA Overlay District, notwithstanding the nonavailability of typical urban municipal services within the foreseeable future, necessarily accept the risks of doing so and needs to design any such development to take account of the nonavailability of such services. The Village disclaims any responsibility for any loss or damage arising out of or resulting from the nonavailability or inadequacy of municipal services in the LUSA District.
A. 
Primary purpose and characteristics. The Village Board of Trustees has the authority to create planned development districts. The PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District, set forth herein, is intended to permit developments that will, over a period of time, be enhanced by coordinated area site planning and diversified location of structures. Such developments are intended to provide a safe and efficient system for pedestrian and vehicle traffic; to provide attractive recreation and open spaces as integral parts of the developments; to provide for development opportunities to be designed to protect, enhance and benefit from unique environmental features on a site; to enable economic design in the location of public and private utilities and community facilities; and to ensure adequate standards of construction and planning. The PUD Overlay District under this chapter will allow for flexibility of overall development design, with benefits from such design flexibility intended to be derived by both the developer and the community, while at the same time maintaining, insofar as possible, the land use density and other standards or use requirements set forth in the underlying basic zoning district. The unified and planned development of a site in a single or corporate ownership or control or in common ownership under the Unit Ownership Act[1] set forth in Ch. 703, Wis. Stats. (condominiums), may be permitted by the Village Board upon specific application under this section and after public hearing, with such development encompassing one or more principal uses or structures and related accessory uses or structures, when all regulations and standards as set forth in this section have been met.
[Amended 3-20-2006 by Ord. No. 06-13]
[1]
Editor's Note: Now titled the "Condominium Ownership Act."
B. 
District created. So as to ensure a maximum benefit to both the community and to developers and so as to provide flexibility in planning in all the districts created under this chapter, there is hereby created the Planned Unit Development Overlay District.
[Amended 3-20-2006 by Ord. No. 06-13; 1-16-2012 by Ord. No. 12-01]
C. 
Principal, accessory and conditional uses. Principal, accessory and conditional uses permitted in a planned unit development overlay district shall conform to uses permitted in the underlying basic use district, except that the PUD Overlay District may prohibit certain permitted principal, accessory and conditional uses specified in the basic use district, as determined by the Village Board.
[Amended 3-2-2015 by Ord. No. 15-09]
D. 
Ownership. Areas designated as PUD Overlay Districts shall be under single or corporate ownership or control at the time of their creation.
E. 
Modifications allowed. The PUD Overlay District may also modify, with approval of the Village Board, dimensional requirements including but not limited to setbacks, structure height, lot width and area requirements of the underlying basic zoning district. In addition the PUD Overlay District may also modify, with approval of the Village Board, other sections of the Zoning Ordinance including but not limited to traffic, parking and access requirements and sign requirements.
[Amended 3-2-2015 by Ord. No. 15-09[2]]
[2]
Editor's Note: This ordinance also superseded former Subsection E, regarding minimum area requirements, as amended.
F. 
Minimum sanitary sewer and water requirements. All planned unit developments shall be on public sanitary sewer. All planned unit development shall be on public water system, except for the planned unit developments in the A-2 and A-3 Districts that create four or fewer lots wherein water is not readily available as determined by the Village Administrator.
[Amended 3-20-2006 by Ord. No. 06-13; 7-20-2020 by Ord. No. 20-26]
G.

[Amended 7-20-2020 by Ord. No. 20-26]
[Amended 7-20-2020 by Ord. No. 20-26]
A. 
The Village Board reserves the right, from time to time and on a completely discretionary, case-by-case basis, to create a planned development zoning district (PDD) which is unique and site-specific for the purpose of accommodating, facilitating and regulating a particular proposed development and use project. No specific criteria are set out here to limit the Village Board's discretion in creating such districts since the nature of the project characteristics which might give rise to the desirability for a PDD cannot reasonably be foreseen. Generally, however, the Village Board will consider a PDD only if a proposed development and use project is not practicable under the Village's traditional zoning districts; involves multiple uses; is unusual, large and complex; and is so substantially in the public interest as to justify extraordinary efforts to accommodate, facilitate and regulate it. Because the creation of a PDD requires an enormous commitment of resources by the Village, no person shall have any right to a PDD classification under any circumstances, and no person shall have any right to a public hearing on a proposed ordinance to create a PDD, unless such hearing is specifically approved by the Village Board after a detailed report on the proposed PDD from the Village staff. Since a PDD cannot be created by the Village Board unilaterally and must be consented to by the affected landowner(s), and since the drafting of a proposed PDD ordinance is necessarily a difficult, time-consuming and cooperative effort, and since the creation of a PDD will usually require the negotiation and drafting of a companion development agreement relating to the public and private infrastructure that is required to serve the proposed development and use(s), the preparation of a proposed PDD ordinance will generally involve extensive closed-door discussions and negotiations between members of the Village staff and the Village attorneys and representatives of the owner(s) and developer(s) of the land covered by the proposed PDD. The purpose of such discussions and negotiations shall not be to commit the Village Board in any way to the proposed ordinance but rather to mutually explore the needs and desires of the owner(s) and developer(s) and the requirements, policies and practices of the Village, to attempt to structure a proposed ordinance that both the Village staff and the owner(s) and developer(s) can support, to identify potential problems and issues which should be addressed at a public hearing, and to attempt to work out potential solutions to any such problems or issues, so that the proposed PDD regulations and all relevant facts, issues and problems can be presented meaningfully and efficiently to the Village Plan Commission, the Village Board and all interested persons at a public hearing.
