Vacation of public streets and alleys shall cause the land vacated to be automatically placed in the same district as the abutting side to which the vacated land reverts. See Wis. Stats. § 66.1003.
C. 
Annexations to or consolidations with the City subsequent to the effective date of this chapter shall be placed in the RH-35 Rural Holding District, unless the annexation ordinance temporarily places the land in another district. Within one year of the date of annexation, the Plan Commission shall evaluate and recommend a permanent district classification to the Common Council.
The following rules shall be used to determine the precise location of any zoning district boundary shown on the Official Zoning Map of the City of Jefferson:
A. 
Zoning district boundaries shown as following or approximately following the limits of any city, town, or county boundary shall be construed as following such limits.
B. 
Zoning district boundaries shown as following or approximately following streets or railroad lines shall be construed as following the center line of such streets or railroad lines.
C. 
Zoning district boundary lines shown as following or approximately following platted lot lines or other property lines as shown on the City of Jefferson or Jefferson County tax maps shall be construed as following such lines.
D. 
Zoning district boundaries shown as following or approximately following the center lines of streams, rivers, or other continuously flowing watercourses shall be construed as following the channel center lines of such watercourses, and, in the event of a natural change in the location of such streams, rivers, or other watercourses, the zoning district boundary shall be construed as moving with the channel center line.
E. 
Zoning district boundaries shown as following or approximately following ridgelines or watershed boundaries shall be construed as following such lines.
F. 
Zoning district boundaries shown as separated from, any of the features listed in Subsections A through E, above, shall be construed to be at such distances there from as are shown on the Official Zoning Map.
G. 
Where any uncertainty exists as to the exact location of a zoning district boundary line, as shown on the Official Zoning Map, the location of the line shall be determined by the Building/Zoning Inspector.
The following sections specify the description and purpose of the standard zoning districts established by this chapter, establish principal and accessory uses permitted by right or as conditional uses, establish bulk, density, and intensity standards, and reference other applicable regulations.

NOTE:
1
This district is designed to allow the property owner to create one new lot (with a minimum lot area of 20,000 square feet and a maximum lot area of 2 acres) from a parent lot of between 1 and 70 acres. The new lot may include the existing residence, allowing the rest of the undeveloped original lot to be sold. The required maximum residential density of one dwelling per 35 acres is intended to retain agricultural or other rural uses until urban services are available to enable a Zoning Map amendment to a development-oriented zoning district.
A. 
Purpose. The purpose of this article is to establish overlay zoning districts wherein certain additional requirements are superimposed on the underlying standard zoning districts set forth above in this chapter. Each overlay district is intended to address a special land use circumstance beyond those addressed by the underlying zoning district. Special requirements include protections against natural hazards, protections of valued natural and cultural resources, and guidelines for unique development situations. Any nonconforming situation (lot, use, structure, and/or site) shall adhere to the provisions of Article V.
B. 
How to use §§ 300-2.80 through 300-2.86.
(1) 
A given property may lie within one or more overlay zoning district based on its geographic location. The provisions of this article are intended to be consulted before issuance of any building permit, site plan approval, conditional use permit, zoning permit, zoning change, or land division to ensure the intended use meets all of the requirements of any applicable overlay district, in addition to the underlying standard zoning district. For each overlay district established in this article, a definition of the resource or geographic area is provided, followed by the specific purposes of the protective regulations governing the resource or geographic location, the method of delineating the boundaries of the overlay district, and the development regulations.
C. 
For the purpose of this chapter, the following overlay zoning districts are hereby established.
(1) 
(PUD) Planned Unit Development Overlay Zoning District.
(2) 
(SEW) Sewage Treatment Facility Overlay Zoning District.
(3) 
(WH) Well-Head Protection Overlay Zoning District.
(4) 
(F) Floodplain Overlay District. See Chapter 286 of the City Municipal Code.
(5) 
(SW) Shoreland-Wetland Overlay District. See Chapter 290 of the City Municipal Code.
(6) 
(PC) Park and Conservancy Overlay Zoning District.
D. 
Map of Overlay Zoning Districts. Except where otherwise indicated in this article, the overlay zoning districts are represented on the Official Zoning Map, adopted and from time to time amended by the City of Jefferson.
A. 
Purpose. The purpose of this overlay district is to provide for the possible relaxation of certain development standards pertaining to the underlying standard zoning district. In exchange for such flexibility, it is anticipated that development within a Planned Unit Development Overlay District will reflect the City’s planning policies as set forth in the City’s Comprehensive Plan and offer one or more of the following advantages:
(1) 
Positively contribute to the appearance and function of land uses and site design in the area.
(2) 
Promote a greater level of architectural quality and be compatible with other structures in the area.
(3) 
Conserve and protect environmentally sensitive areas, areas of natural beauty, and natural green spaces.
(4) 
Preserve the cultural and historic character and significance of existing structures or areas.
(5) 
Provide substantial buffers and transitions between different land uses and densities.
(6) 
Reduce congestion on streets and improve pedestrian and bicycle circulation.
(7) 
Development would not conflict with or cause overload on such facilities as schools, highways, police, fire, or utility services.
(8) 
Ensure proper maintenance and preservation of any common areas for recreation and esthetic enhancement.
B. 
Intent. Planned unit developments are intended to encourage, promote, and provide improved environmental design by allowing for greater freedom, imagination, and flexibility in the development of land, while ensuring substantial compliance with the basic intent of this chapter and the City of Jefferson Comprehensive Plan. To this end, planned unit developments allow diversification and variation in the relationship of uses, structures, open spaces, and heights of structures in developments conceived and implemented as comprehensive and cohesive unified projects. The Planned Unit Development Overlay District shall allow development to be designed, reviewed, approved, constructed, and managed as approved by the City Council rather than required by the underlying zoning district.
(1) 
The City may permit flexibility in the types of uses, area and yard requirements, off-street parking, and/or other regulations set forth in this chapter by use of exceptions/base standard modifications subject to the demonstration of their appropriateness for the area under consideration.
(2) 
It is not intended that the City will automatically grant exceptions/base standard modifications in a Planned Unit Development Overlay District, and it is expected the City will grant only such exceptions when they are consistent and comparable with benefits to the community that result from the planned unit development.
(3) 
The City may require, as conditions of approval, any reasonable stipulation, limitation, or design factor which will promote suitable development in the Planned Unit Development Overlay District.
(4) 
A public hearing process is required to review a request for a planned unit development. This process will essentially combine the process for a Zoning Map amendment (for the general development plan (GDP) step) with that required for a conditional use (for the specific implementation plan (SIP) step), with several additional requirements. See § 300-10.45 for the general development plan and specific implementation plan requirements.
C. 
Provision of flexible development standards for planned unit developments.
(1) 
Permitted location. Planned unit developments shall be permitted with the approval of a Planned Unit Development Overlay Zoning District, specific to the approved planned unit development, within all zoning districts.
(2) 
Flexible development standards.
(a) 
The following exemptions to the development standards of the underlying zoning district may be provided with the approval of a planned unit development.
[1] 
Land use requirements. All land uses listed as “residential,” “institutional,” “mixed-use,” “commercial” or “industrial” in Article III may be permitted within a planned unit development.
[2] 
Density, intensity, and bulk requirements. All requirements listed in Article IV, Bulk Regulations, and Article II for density, intensity, and bulk regulations within the SR-2, SR-3, SR-4, SR-7, SR-10, DR-8, TF-10, MRL-8, MRM-12, I, NMU, SMU, UMU, DHMU, LI, MI, or BP Zoning Districts may be waived within a planned unit development.
[3] 
Landscaping requirements. All requirements listed in Article VIII may be waived within a planned unit development.
[4] 
Parking and loading requirements. All requirements listed in §§ 300-6.06 and 300-6.07 may be waived within a planned unit development.
D. 
Applicability. Areas that may be deemed appropriate for a Planned Unit Development Overlay District include, but are not limited to:
(1) 
Transitional areas that involve locations with a mix of different land uses where new development is proposed in an area of preexisting uses and buildings.
(2) 
Infill areas located in a developed area that involve parcels that may have been bypassed during the normal course of urbanization or that have been cleared.
(3) 
Redevelopment areas where first or subsequent uses and/or structures are to be replaced by new uses and/or structures.
(4) 
Special areas that include locations that are considered community gateways or entryway corridors and those areas identified as special planning areas in the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
(5) 
Development areas where base zoning standards may not be appropriate and/or needed, and where the developer and community will benefit from a greater level of flexibility in land use and bulk controls.
A. 
Purpose. The purpose of this overlay district is to provide isolation for sewage treatment facilities in order to enhance plant security and reliability, while also minimizing potential impacts to surrounding land uses caused by the facility.
B. 
Buffers. The following separation distances shall be maintained between existing sewage treatment facilities and existing or future commercial and/or residential uses, in accordance with NR 100.15(3)(d) of the State Natural Resources Code unless a wavier is obtained through the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
(1) 
One hundred fifty meters (500 feet) for mechanical treatment facilities, effluent holding and polishing ponds;
(2) 
One hundred fifty meters (500 feet) for seepage cells, ridge and furrow systems, and overland flow systems;
(3) 
Two hundred thirty meters (750 feet) for aerated lagoons;
(4) 
Three hundred five meters (1,000 feet) for off site sludge holding facilities and spray irrigation systems; and
(5) 
Four hundred sixty meters (1,500 feet) for stabilization lagoons.
A. 
Purpose. The consequences of certain land use activities, whether intentional or accidental, can seriously impair groundwater quality. The purpose of the Well-Head Protection Overlay District (WH) is to help protect municipal well groundwater resources from contamination by certain land use activities. This is accomplished by imposing certain land use restrictions upon the area located within the approximate groundwater recharge area of the City municipal wells. The restrictions imposed upon the property within this overlay district are in addition to the regulations governing the underlying zoning districts or any other provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.
B. 
General provisions.
(1) 
The regulations established by this overlay district are intended to either prohibit certain land uses that might otherwise be permitted in the underlying zoning districts or to allow certain activities as a conditional use that might otherwise be permitted in the underlying zoning district.
(2) 
The uses prohibited in the Well-Head Protection Overlay District are activities that, as a result of normal operations or accidents, may impair groundwater quality. These prohibitions are intended to provide a reasonably high degree of assurance that, within the municipal well recharge area, discharges of contaminants into the groundwater supply will be minimized. These preventive measures are important since groundwater clean-up is often prohibitively expensive, and liability for such clean-up is often hard or impossible to establish.
(3) 
The uses prohibited within a Well-Head Protection Overlay District are prohibited based upon the pollution experience of the individual uses, the operational methods and technology generally employed by that type of use, or the materials or products commonly handled by these uses. As the technology of identified uses changes to nonrisk materials or operational methods, the list of prohibited land uses may be amended to reflect these changes.
C. 
Establishment of the overlay district. For purposes of minimizing the potential for groundwater contamination in close proximity to the municipal wells, one overlay district is established: The Well-Head Protection Overlay Zoning District (WH).
(1) 
Well-Head Protection Overlay Zoning District (WH) is identified as the primary source of water for recharge of the municipal well aquifer and as the area from which groundwater contaminants are most likely to be transmitted to the municipal wells (1,200 feet from each municipal well).
D. 
Permitted and prohibited uses. All principal and accessory uses which are permitted uses within the underlying zoning districts are permitted within the Well-Head Protection Overlay District except the following uses, which are specifically prohibited.
(1) 
Areas for dumping or disposal of garbage, refuse or trash;
(2)

(1) 
For nonconforming buildings, structures or uses which were nonconforming prior to being designated as part of a well-head protection overlay district, the regulations in Article V apply.
(2)
