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. 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. Permitted, accessory, and special uses.
(1) Permitted uses in the GA District shall be permitted uses in the HFA District, and hobby farms (as defined in §
500-201) shall be allowed as a permitted use in the GA District and the HFA District, and Table 4, titled "Permitted and special uses in the Residential Districts," and Table 5, titled "Permitted and Special Uses in Nonresidential Districts," shall be modified accordingly.
(2) Special
uses in the GA District shall be special uses in the HFA District,
and Table 4, titled "Permitted and Special Uses in the Residential
Districts," and Table 5, titled "Permitted and Special Uses in Nonresidential
Districts," shall be modified accordingly, except that a maximum of
one single-family dwelling structure shall be allowed on a lot or
parcel in the HFA District, and no additional dwelling units on a
lot or parcel are allowed in the HFA District.
