[Added 9-25-2006]
The following terms have the meanings indicated:
All contiguous holdings in common ownership. Properties divided
by a public street right-of-way are considered contiguous.
The first phase of approval in the Mixed Use District, which
shows the entire property holding. The PD-GDP must show the general
location of buildings or building envelopes, common spaces, parking
and drive areas, conceptual stormwater drainage plan and principal
landscape features. If the development is proposed to occur in phases,
the sequence of development should be indicated. It is recognized
that PD-GDPs are often submitted prior to the identification of the
ultimate land user or the specific land use. The intent of the GDP
is to be conceptual. A public hearing is required for a GDP.
The second phase of approval is a detailed plan, also referred
to as a PD-SIP, which must show detailed information for that portion
or phase of the project proposed for approval. Frequently PD-SIPs
are submitted for only those portions of the total project shown in
the PD-GDP which are planned for immediate development. Subsequent
phases of development are shown in separate detailed plans prepared
at the time of development. If as a result of more detailed planning
or engineering at the PD-SIP stage changes need to be made in the
PD-GDP, applicants can submit PD-GDP amendments. The submittal and
review requirements of PD-GDP amendments are the same as those for
the initial PD-GDP.
Any development of this district must occur as a planned development
– conditional use under the terms and conditions of this chapter
or successor provisions. The intent of this zoning is to create a
district which will enable flexibility in terms of the specific types
of land uses but will assure that any development occurring in this
area will be planned and designed within the context of integrated
planned development.
A.
Floor
area ratio (FAR). The maximum FAR shall be 0.50.
B.
Maximum
impervious surface ratio. The total surface area of all principal
and accessory buildings, hard-surfaced parking areas, driveways, private
streets, sidewalks and other impervious surfaces shall not exceed
65% of total land area.
C.
Minimum
landscaped green space ratio.
(1)
At
least 20% of the land area, exclusive of land required for stormwater
management and parkland dedication and exclusive of wetlands and slopes
over 15%, shall be landscaped open space. To the maximum extent possible,
such open space shall include existing wooded areas and individual
mature trees on the site at the time of development.
(2)
The
Planning and Zoning Board may allow all or a portion of the stormwater
management area to be counted toward the 20% landscaped green area
requirement under the following conditions:
(a)
The stormwater management area is a permanent water feature designed
with sufficient flow of water and aeration to maintain aesthetic quality.
(b)
There is sufficient landscaping to assure that the stormwater management
area will be an aesthetic asset to the development and the community
as a whole.
(3)
The
Planning and Zoning Board may allow all or a portion of the area with
steep slopes over 15% grade to be counted toward the 20% landscaped
green area requirements under the following conditions:
(4)
The
above exceptions may only be granted at the PD-SIP stage of the review
and approval process based on selected site and architectural plan
submittals.
(5)
In
the event that a planned development is divided into more than one
lot and parcel, each parcel shall have at least 10% of its area in
landscaped green space as defined by this subsection.
D.
Prohibition
on construction on steep slopes. Steeply sloped terrain with a natural
grade of 15% or more may not be regraded or built upon.
E.
Public
street right-of-way.
(1)
All
planned developments must have public street rights-of-way which are
consistent with Town design standards. Any right-of-way requirements
recommended by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for frontage
roads or key intersections must be shown on planned development plans.
Brown County must approve right-of-way widths for all county trunk
system roads which will be under county jurisdiction.
(2)
In
those situations where more than eighty-foot right-of-way is required
for a public street, the developer may be allowed to credit that portion
of the public street right-of-way over 80 feet toward meeting the
open space and landscaped green space provisions of this section.
F.
Land
use compatibility.
(1)
Planned
developments permit a variety of land uses and allow applicants flexibility
in land use planning. However, all land uses within a planned development
in the Mixed Use Zoning District must be compatible with other land
uses within the proposed development and compatible with the land
uses on adjoining properties.
G.
Setbacks
and yard requirements.
(1)
Planned
developments shall meet the following setback and yard standards with
respect to yards adjoining neighboring properties which are not part
of the planned development and yards adjoining public street rights-of-way:
(2)
Setbacks
for yards that are internal to the development and do not adjoin public
streets or land outside of the planned development may deviate from
the setback and yard requirements.
H.
Stormwater
management. Planned developments shall have an integrated stormwater
management plan that considers potential runoff from all of the land
within the proposed planned development. Stormwater retention and/or
detention basins should be constructed in areas which reflect natural
drainage patterns. Stormwater drainage facilities shall meet the minimum
requirements set forth by Town ordinances.
