This article sets forth detailed descriptions of the nonresidential
zoning districts and their respective dimensional and bulk regulations,
requirements, and design standards. The nonresidential zoning districts
are generally grouped as follows: business districts, industrial districts,
public and semipublic districts, agricultural districts, special districts,
and floodland districts.
A.
District intent. The NHB Neighborhood and Hamlet Business District
is established for the convenience of persons residing in nearby residential
areas. The NHB District is limited to accommodating the basic day-to-day
shopping and service needs of the residents living in the adjacent
areas. It provides for an arrangement of retail trade establishments
that are compatible in function and operation. Buildings constructed
in the NHB District could be clustered on parcels of land under individual
or multiple ownership. The NHB District may also be used in the hamlet
of Young America. The requirements of the NHB District are further
established to maintain the historic hamlet characteristics of Young
America. The NHB District is designed to prevent land and structures
in the aforementioned Young America hamlet from becoming nonconforming
as they would if placed under different, more suburban-oriented, land
use or zoning classifications. It also provides for the minor infilling
of vacant or redevelopment areas within the Young America hamlet consistent
with this planned land use district and the established character
of Young America. The NHB District is further intended to permit future
nonresidential development and redevelopment of the Young America
hamlet consistent with earlier approved subdivisions and certified
survey maps.
A.
District intent. The CB Community Business District is intended to
accommodate the needs of a much larger consumer population than served
by the NHB District. It provides for relatively large groupings of
two or more compatible retail sales and customer service establishments
in a community-serving shopping area. Business establishments in the
CB District have on-site parking for customer automobiles combined
with a pedestrian-oriented shopping environment. Buildings could be
clustered on parcels of land under individual or multiple ownership.
In addition, all property in the CB District shall abut a United States,
state trunk, or county trunk designated highway.
A.
District intent. The FB Freeway Interchange Business District is
intended to accommodate business establishments and property located
at the U.S. 45 and CTH D freeway interchange in the Town of Barton.
The FB District is further established to accommodate a wide range
of retail business and complementary uses to serve a trade area reaching
out several miles or more and embracing a large segment of an urban,
suburban, and rural region, including areas located outside of the
Town of Barton and the West Bend area, as well as areas located outside
of Washington County. Business establishments have on-site parking
for customer automobiles. Buildings may be clustered on parcels of
land under individual or multiple ownership.
A.
District intent. The LM Limited Manufacturing District is intended
to provide for manufacturing, industrial, warehousing, and uses of
a limited nature and size in locations where the relative proximity
to other uses requires more restrictive regulation. It may be used
to accommodate existing scattered uses of an industrial nature so
as not to make them nonconforming uses. The LM District is not intended
to accommodate business parks under unified design and ownership which
would be best accommodated under the BP Business Park District. The
character of the LM District is suburban.
A.
District intent. The BP Business Park District is intended to provide
for the development of the attractive grouping of office, manufacturing,
industrial development, and limited ancillary service uses which serve
the needs of the occupants of this district. Uses are of a limited
intensity and provide an aesthetically pleasing environment. The BP
District provides for ample off-street parking and loading areas and
landscape planting and screening of adjacent uses of a lower intensity.
The BP District is further intended to be applied to areas of the
Town of Barton identified for business park development by the Town
of Barton Land Use Plan. It is to accommodate industrial or business
parks which are under unified design and ownership and which exceed
20 acres in area.
A.
District intent. The QE Quarrying and Extractive District is intended
to provide for the conduct of existing quarries or other mineral extractive
and related operations. The QE District also provides for the restoration
of quarries and extractive areas in a manner which will not deteriorate
the natural environment. Although the operations which take place
within the QE District can have a relatively high intensity with respect
to trucking and blasting, due to the open space nature of its uses,
it has an overall rural character.
B.
District standards. The QE District is further intended to have the development standards as set forth in Table 2F at the end of this chapter. Also see the design standards set forth in Article X of this chapter. Those developments served by on-site sewage disposal systems must meet all requirements set forth under § 500-14 of this chapter.
A.
District intent. The I Institutional District is intended to eliminate
the ambiguity of maintaining, in unrelated planned land use districts,
areas which are under public or public-related ownership and where
the use for public, or quasi-public, purposes is anticipated to be
permanent. The I District is intended to accommodate governmental
uses, schools, churches, etc. The character of this district is suburban.
A.
District intent. The PR Park and Recreational District is intended
to provide for areas where the recreational needs, both public and
private, of the populace can be met without undue disturbance of natural
resources and adjacent land uses and other adjacent zoning districts.
A.
District intent. The EA Exclusive Agricultural Preservation District
is intended to provide for, maintain, preserve, and enhance agricultural
lands historically utilized for food production and/or the raising
of livestock. The EA District is further intent upon preventing the
premature conversion of agricultural land to scattered urban and suburban
uses such as residential, commercial, and industrial uses. The lands
placed in the EA District are limited to those lands identified as
primary farmlands on the adopted Washington County Farmland Preservation
Plan, as amended. The EA District is further intended to retain the
rural character of Town areas in which it is used.
[Amended 2-17-1998 by Ord. No. 98-03]
A.
District intent. The AT Agricultural Transition District is intended
to preserve existing agricultural uses for the intermediate term until
an orderly transition to another planned district and use is approved
by the Town Board. For this purpose, use of lands in the AT District
should be reviewed at least once every five years, or more often when
lands are proposed to be developed for urban and/or suburban uses
in conformance with the Town-adopted Comprehensive Plan, or component
thereof. Land included in the AT District should be those lands which
are planned under the Town-adopted Comprehensive Plan, or component
thereof, for nonagricultural land uses and where nonagricultural use
is expected to occur during the Town-adopted Comprehensive Plan, or
component thereof, planning period.
A.
District intent. The GA General Agricultural District is intended
to provide for, maintain, preserve, and enhance agricultural lands
historically utilized for crop production but which are not included
within the EA Exclusive Agricultural Preservation District and which
are generally best suited for smaller farm units, including truck
farming, horse farming, hobby farming, orchards, and other similar
agricultural-related activity. The overall intent of the GA District
is to retain the rural character of areas of the Town of Barton in
which the GA District is used. The GA District may also be used as
a transitional district between the EA Exclusive Agricultural Preservation
District and the R-1 and R-2 Residential Districts.
[Added 4-19-2011 by Ord. No. 11-001]
A.
District intent. This district is designed to provide for, maintain,
preserve, and enhance small area agricultural lands historically utilized
for crop production but which are not included within the EA Exclusive
Agricultural Preservation District or GA General Agricultural District
and which are generally best suited for smaller farm units, including
horse farming, hobby farming, orchards, and other similar small-scale
agricultural-related activity. The overall intent of the HFA District
is to retain the rural character of areas of the Town of Barton in
which the HFA District is used. The HFA District residential development
intensities are consistent with the maintenance of a rural countryside
character and lifestyle. The HFA District serves as a transitional
district between the more intensive farmland areas (such as the EA
Exclusive Agricultural Preservation District or GA General Agricultural
District areas) and the countryside, estate, and suburban intensity
residential areas of the Town. The HFA District is further intended
to be used for parcels of land which directly abut either the EA Exclusive
Agricultural Preservation District or GA General Agricultural District
areas. The HFA District is intended to be served by on-site soil absorption
sewage disposal systems. The HFA District areas shall not be located
contiguous to the incorporated City of West Bend and are typically
located somewhat distant from the boundaries of the incorporated City
of West Bend. The HFA District is not mapped on the Town Land Use
Plan but may be used in the General Agricultural (GA), Rural Countryside
Single-Family Residential (R-1), and Countryside Single-Family Residential
(R-2) land use districts on Maps 22 through 25 of the adopted "Comprehensive
Plan for the Town of Barton: 2035," dated April 2008 (as amended),
provided that all standards of the HFA District are met. The HFA District
is considered an agricultural district.
B.
District standards. The HFA District is further intended to have the standards as set forth in Table 2L at the end of this chapter. Those developments served by on-site sewage disposal systems must meet all requirements set forth under § 500-14 of this chapter.
C.
