The special districts are established to provide
protection of unique resources and features in the community that
are not included within the other standard zoning classifications.
A.
Intent. The A Agricultural Holding Zone District is
intended to preserve land for agricultural use until such time as
urban services necessary for development are extended and market conditions
justify development. Lands in this district may be rezoned for urban
development, according to the Comprehensive Plan, pending sufficient
market demand and the timely and cost-efficient provision of City
services necessary for proper urban development.
D.
Minimum lots size: five acres.
E.
Minimum lot width: 200 feet.
G.
Maximum height: 35 feet.
H.
Maximum percent of lot coverage: 10%.
A.
Intent. The C Public Park and Conservancy District
is intended to preserve public parks and those natural features and
environments that are unique community assets so they will be protected
from adverse urban development activities.
D.
Minimum lot size: 5,000 square feet.
E.
Minimum lot width: 40 feet.
G.
Maximum height: 35 feet.
[Amended 10-10-2006 by Ord. No. A-361; 5-21-2013 by Ord. No. A-454; 7-21-2015 by Ord. No. A-486]
A.
Purpose. The residents of the City of Lodi depend exclusively on
groundwater for a safe drinking water supply. Certain land use practices
and activities can seriously threaten or degrade groundwater quality.
The purpose of this section is to establish a Wellhead Protection
Overlay District to institute land use regulations and restrictions
within a defined area which contributes water directly to the municipal
water supply, providing protection for the aquifer and municipal water
supply of the City of Lodi.
B.
Authority. Authority is granted by § 62.23(7)(c), Wis.
Stats., and § 59.97(1),[1] Wis. Stats. to encourage protection of public health,
safety and welfare by the protection of groundwater resources.
[1]
Editor's Note: §§ 59.97 and 59.971 were renumbered
§§ 59.69 and 59.692 and amended by 1995 Act 201, §§ 475,
476, eff. Sept. 1, 1996.
C.
Wellhead Protection Overlay District boundaries. The boundaries of
the Wellhead Protection Overlay District include a defined area described
on mapping adopted by, and revised from time to time, by resolution
adopted by the Lodi Common Council. The Wellhead protection area shall
be determined by the Columbia County Groundwater Flow Model as contributor
of water to each well out to the boundary of the five-year time of
travel with a minimum well field distance of 600 feet surrounding
each municipal well. Said map, together with everything shown thereon
and all amendments thereto,[2] shall be incorporated as part of this section as though
fully set forth herein. Minimum separation distances shall be maintained
between the well and other facilities within the Wellhead Protection
Overlay District.
[2]
Editor's Note: A copy of said map is on file in the City offices.
D.
Supremacy of the district. The regulations of this district are in
addition to the requirements in the underlying zoning district, if
any. If there is a conflict between this section and the zoning ordinance,
the more restrictive provision shall apply.
E.
Plan Commission review. Prior to the issuance of a development permit
for any principal or accessory use in the Wellhead Protection Overlay
District, the Plan Commission shall review the proposed use to ensure
that the use will not pose a threat to groundwater.
F.
Changing technology.
(1)
As technological advancements are made which result in a reduction
of risk to groundwater contamination, the list of uses permitted in
this zone may be modified. In order for a use to be added, the opinion
of experts in the field of geology and the industry seeking a change
must demonstrate convincingly that the use no longer pose a groundwater
pollution hazard. After appropriate public notice and public hearing,
the status may be reviewed by the Plan Commission.
(2)
A change in method of storage or handling of pollutant materials
shall in and of itself not constitute grounds for adding a use to
the permitted uses. The ban may continue until the technology of the
use removes reliance upon the pollutant materials or processes deemed
to be a groundwater hazard.
G.
Permitted uses. The following uses are permitted uses within the
Wellhead Protection Overlay District, subject to the separations distances
requirements herein, and the underlying zoning district requirements.

prohibited uses.

that would be detrimental to airport operations or would jeopardize
the municipal investment in those facilities.
B.
Description of Airport Special Purpose District. All
zones established by this section are as shown on the map titled "Height
Limitations Zoning Map, Lodi Lakeland Airport, Lodi, Wisconsin," which
is adopted as part of this section.
C.
Height limitations. Except as otherwise provided in
this chapter, no structure shall be constructed, altered, located,
or permitted to remain after such construction, alteration, or location,
and no trees shall be allowed to grow, to a height in excess of the
height limit indicated on the Height Limitations Zoning Map.
E.
Nonconforming uses.
(1)
The regulations prescribed in this section shall not
be construed to require the removal, lowering, or other change or
alteration of any nonconforming use or otherwise interfere with the
continuance of any nonconforming use, except as otherwise provided.
(2)
Nothing herein contained shall require any change
in the construction, alteration, or intended use of any structure
if the construction or alteration of such was begun prior to the effective
date of this section and if such is diligently prosecuted.
(3)
This section shall not interfere with the removal
of nonconforming uses by purchase or the use of eminent domain.

altered, or rebuilt, a permit shall be applied for and secured in
the manner prescribed by this chapter authorizing such change, replacement,
or repair. No such permit shall be denied if the structure will not
become a greater hazard to air navigation than it was on the effective
date of this chapter or than it was when the application for permit
