Zoning Map.
(1)
Districts mapped. The boundaries of said districts are shown upon
the Official Zoning Map for the Town of Vernon, which map is made
part of this code, and all the notations, references and other information
shown thereon shall be as much a part of this code as if the matters
and information set forth by said map were all fully described herein.
Said Zoning Map shall be kept on file in the office of the Town Clerk
and the copy attached hereto is correct only as of the date of publication
and is for general informational purposes only. For the purpose of
local administration, a copy of the map shall also be kept on file
in the office of the Town Building Inspector and Town Planner.
(2)
Determination of boundaries. District boundaries shall be determined
by measurement from and as shown on the Zoning Map and in case of
any questions as to the interpretation of such boundary lines, the
Town Plan Commission and Town Board shall interpret the map according
to the reasonable intent of this code.
(a)
Unless otherwise specifically indicated or dimensioned on the
map, the district boundaries are normally lot lines; section, quarter
section or sixteenth section lines; or the center lines of streets,
highways, railways or alleys.
(b)
The boundaries of conservancy, existing floodplain overlay and
exclusive agricultural districts as drawn are intended to represent
the edge of swamp, wetlands, marsh, and floodland or the high water
line along a stream or watercourse, and shall be finally determined
by the actual conditions in each specific situation.
(c)
The boundaries of the Environmental Corridor District are intended
to include all non-wetland/floodplain primary or secondary environmental
corridors, such as significant woodlands, upland wildlife habitat
areas, scenic overlooks and slopes exceeding 12%. The Town Building
Inspector or Zoning Administrator may make an in-field determination
as to the location of the district where the mapped boundary is clearly
in error. Where questions arise as to the exact location or boundary
of an Environmental Corridor District, the extent and location of
such corridor shall be finally determined by an infield investigation
by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC)
Biologist (or his/her designee).
[Amended 2-7-2019 by Ord.
No. 2019-01]
A.
Purpose and intent. The CO District, as mapped or intended to be
mapped, is intended to preserve, protect, and enhance the streams,
intermittent streams, and wetland areas. If an infield determination
finds that all or a portion of a property within the CO District is
erroneously mapped, the field-determined boundaries shall immediately
become subject to the applicable district regulations. The regulation
of the CO District will serve to maintain and improve water quality,
both ground and surface; prevent flood damage; protect wildlife habitat;
prohibit the location of structures on soils which are generally not
suitable for such use; protect natural watersheds; protect existing
natural woodlands; and protect the natural recreational resources
of the Town of Vernon.
D.
Prohibited uses. Filling or drainage of wetlands, removal of topsoil
or peat, or damming/relocating of any watercourse shall not be permitted
except with the approval of the Town of Vernon, Waukesha County Land
Conservation Division, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
(WDNR).
E.
Area regulations. There are no specific minimum lot size requirements
although conservancy/wetland zoned lands that lie within a larger
parcel or tract of land, the remainder of which is zoned in any other
district, shall have a minimum area required in that nonconservancy
district.
A.
Purpose and intent. The ECO District, as mapped or intended to be
mapped, includes non-wetland/floodplain primary or secondary environmental
corridors and isolated natural resource areas as defined herein, and
is intended to be used to preserve, protect, enhance, and restore
significant woodlands, upland wildlife habitat areas, scenic overlooks,
slopes exceeding 12%, and upland wooded areas, while also affording
an opportunity to use the site for the limited residential purposes.
The Town Building Inspector or Zoning Administrator may make an in-field
determination as to the location of the district where the mapped
boundary is clearly in error. Where questions arise as to the exact
location or boundary of an environmental corridor, the extent and
location of such corridors shall be finally determined by infield
investigation by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission
(SERWPC) Biologist (or his/her designee). If an in-field determination
finds that all or a portion of a property within the ECO District
is erroneously mapped, the field-determined boundaries shall immediately
become subject to the applicable district regulations.
[Amended 2-7-2019 by Ord.
No. 2019-01]
F.
Height regulations.
(1)
Principal building.
(a)
Non-exposed foundation.
[1]
The maximum height of a residential structure shall not exceed
35 feet measured from the average finished grade at the building line
to the highest roof line.
(b)
Exposed foundation.
[1]
The maximum building height measured from the lowest exposed
point of the structure to the highest top plate that supports a roof
structure cannot exceed 32 feet;
[2]
The maximum building height measured from the lowest exposed
point of the structure to the highest roof line cannot exceed 46 feet;
and
H.
Lot size. Lot size requirements in the ECO District shall be as follows:
Minimum area. The overall density of lots lying entirely within the
ECO District shall be one dwelling unit per five acres of corridor,
with no lot being less than two acres in size. For lots which lie
partially within and partially outside of the ECO District, if the
lot size of the adjoining districts would permit a minimum lot size
of less than five acres, the five-acre density requirement shall not
apply and the lot can be the size permitted in the adjacent district,
as long as any land altering activity and/or building envelopes are
located outside of the ECO District and appropriately restricted as
such on the face of the certified survey map, subdivision plat or
other deed restrictions subject to the review and written approval
of the Town Board and recorded with the Waukesha County Register of
Deeds Office.
J.
Preservation of open space. Requirements for the preservation of
open space in the ECO District shall be as follows:
(1)
For lots lying entirely within an ECO District, regardless of lot
size, no open space regulations shall apply. However, all land altering
activities and vegetative removal including building sites and driveways
(area of disturbance) shall be no more than 15% of five acres (32,670
square feet) in the ECO District.
(2)
For lots which lie partially within and partially outside of the
ECO District, the area of disturbances shall be limited to the area
outside of the ECO District, excluding any means required to access
the area outside of the ECO District (i.e., driveway access), unless
otherwise expressly permitted by a building envelope shown on the
certified survey map, subdivision plat or other deed restriction that
has been approved, in writing, by the Town Board, upon recommendation
of the Town Plan Commission and recorded with the Waukesha County
Register of Deeds Office.
A.
Purpose and intent.
(1)
This district is intended to apply to those lands that are mapped
as having hydric soil conditions (depth to groundwater of one foot
or less) according to the Soil Survey of Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties
published by the USDA Soil Conservation Service. Many of these lands
contain wetlands and floodplains and, accordingly, are mapped with
a CO Conservancy Overlay District designation. Other lands with such
soil conditions are presently in agricultural use by virtue of either
cultivation, pasture or in some other way, and which if they were
not being used for agricultural purposes would be classified as conservancy
lands due to inherent wet soil characteristics and the presence of
natural vegetation indicative of wet soils.
(2)
The intent of this district is to preserve and maintain agricultural
or open space uses on lands suited for such purposes. These lands
are generally poorly suited for urban or suburban development, while
lands outside of wetlands are typically better suited for some type
of agricultural use. In this district structures related to farm operations,
including existing dwellings, are deemed consistent with the purpose
and intent of this section where the location of buildings associated
with the permitted agricultural operation are found to conform with
health, sanitation and safety provisions of this and any other state
regulation or local ordinance. The intent for mapping purposes is
that lands within this district shall have exhibited agricultural
uses in the past. It is not the intent of this section to promote
or permit the conversion of wetlands.
(3)
Where on-site evaluation of soil conditions by a certified soil scientist
reveals that soils mapped by the USDA as being hydric are found to
be erroneously mapped, the land zoned HGO District shall immediately
become subject to the district regulations of the zoning district
that is mapped on the balance of the property. If no other zoning
district has previously been established on another part of the parcel,
the lands shall be zoned as used administratively by the Town Zoning
Administrator.
F.
Height regulations.
(1)
Principal structure.
(a)
Non-exposed foundation.
[1]
The maximum height of a residential structure shall not exceed
35 feet measured from the average finished grade at the building line
to the highest roof line.
(b)
Exposed foundation.
[1]
The maximum building height measured from the lowest exposed
point of the structure to the highest top plate that supports a roof
structure cannot exceed 32 feet.
[2]
The maximum building height measured from the lowest exposed
point of the structure to the highest roof line cannot exceed 46 feet.
A.
Purpose and intent. The primary purpose of this district is to maintain,
encourage and promote agriculturally related business endeavors on
appropriate lands within the community. Such endeavors, properly located
and regulated, serve to support and enhance the viability of agriculture
as an economic activity.
E.
Building location.
(1)
Setback: 50 feet minimum.
(2)
Offset.
(a)
Buildings used for commercial purposes which include the housing
of livestock: 100 feet minimum unless the adjacent district is an
A-B District, in which case 20 feet minimum shall apply.
(b)
Buildings used for commercial purposes not involving livestock
housing or animal waste storage: 10 feet minimum.
F.
Height regulations.
(1)
Principal and accessory building: 35 feet maximum, unless fire and
emergency apparatus adequate to service a taller building is available
to service the building on the subject parcel and verification of
such apparatus' availability from the community providing fire and
emergency services to or for the subject parcel is filed with the
Town Building Inspector and/or Town Planner prior to the issuance
of a zoning use permit, in which event the maximum height of a principal
building in the subject parcel shall be the maximum height which such
available apparatus can service (but such maximum height shall not
be greater than 60 feet).
A.
Purpose and intent. The purpose of this ten-acre density district
is to allow for agricultural and rural use of lands to continue while
also allowing for cluster development on lands located in rural or
semi-rural areas. Additional stated purposes of this district include:
(1)
Promote the preservation of the rural character of the Town by encouraging
farm fields, pastures, orchards, and natural open spaces to be retained
either as common open spaces, or as part of a farm operation.
(2)
To achieve the optimum residential environment while recognizing
the rural character of the Town. The density transfer technique is
designed to permit variable lot sizes in the utilization of the most
desirable terrain for housing sites while encouraging preservation
of natural resource lands and agricultural lands.
(3)
This district allows for the transfer of residential development
rights from one area of a parcel to another area of a parcel, thereby
allowing an increase in density of development on suitable lands for
development in exchange for establishing the preservation of natural
resources or agricultural lands known as "preserved lands."
B.
Review of proposed development. Where a development is to occur involving
the establishment of "preserved lands," approval by the Town Plan
Commission and Town Board shall be required. The development proposed
shall conform to the following standards:
(1)
The shape and arrangement of preserved lands shall be approved by
the Town Plan Commission and Town Board pursuant to the requirements
of this district.
(2)
Lands zoned AD-10 that are proposed to be developed via subdivision
plat must be developed in a conservation design format following best
management practices. Subdivisions shall provide common open space
and conserve natural resource lands.
(3)
The preserved lands shall be retained in one of the following manners:
(a)
A deed restriction or covenant recorded with the Waukesha County
Register of Deeds noting that part or all of the development rights
have been utilized for the subject land. No additional development
rights would accrue to that site until such times as it could be served
with municipal sewer and a zoning change is approved by the Town of
Vernon and Waukesha County.
(b)
All lot owners within the developed area for which the preserved
land is protected could own an undividable interest in said preserved
land. Development of those lands may not occur until such times as
it could be served with municipal sewer and a zoning change is approved
by the Town of Vernon and Waukesha County.
(c)
The preserved lands may be retained in public ownership if the
Town of Vernon or Waukesha County is willing to accept a dedication
or acquire the land.
(4)
On a parcel which is AD-10, the development density shall not exceed
10 acres for each dwelling unit.
(5)
In order to preserve the rural character as well as the efficiency
and safety of existing road systems, lands to be developed via subdivision
plat shall have lots clustered on interior subdivision streets to
minimize lots being accessed from existing arterials or roadways by
individual driveway accesses. The goal of this provision is to encourage
grouping of lots on an interior street which will then access the
existing road system.
(6)
Any land claimed in addition to the actual described residential
lots, for credit toward meeting the density factor requirement, shall
have its status permanently established, and guaranteed, either by
dedication to the public, or by appropriate covenants running with
the lands, in conveyance of agricultural easements. Such covenants
and easements shall be recorded with the Waukesha County Register
of Deeds and shall restrict the property against any development or
use except as is consistent with its preservation as agricultural
land or as a form of common open space until such times as it could
be served with municipal sewer and a zoning change is approved by
the Town of Vernon and Waukesha County. The preserved land status
of any parcel shall be indicated on the Official Zoning Map.
(7)
In addition to requiring an appropriate open space or an agricultural
easement on the transferring lands in favor of the Town and/or county,
covenants shall be placed in the title of each dwelling unit, giving
the owner enforceable rights to prevent the future development of
the transferring lands until such times as it could be served with
municipal sewer and a zoning change is approved by the Town of Vernon
and Waukesha County.

unit per 10 acres.
A.
Purpose and intent. This district is intended to provide for very
low-density one-family residential development and the conversion
of older farm dwellings to two-family units in predominantly rural
areas in order to maintain, to some degree, the agricultural character
of the property. These lands are best suited for small farm units,
i.e., truck farms, horse farms, hobby farms, orchards and other similar
agriculturally related activities, and usually contain a predominance
of USDA-defined statewide significant category soils or prime category
soils on parcels which do not qualify for agricultural preservation
zoning or in areas which have an existing pattern of scattered or
low-density residential development.

A.
Purpose and intent.
(1)
This district is to be used as an implementation tool to designate
specific types of limited office, professional services, retail, and
business uses free of outside storage or display, serving the adjacent
business uses in larger communities. These uses may occur on individual
sites or as part of a planned larger development. This district can
only be located within one mile of a freeway interchange or at an
intersection of two state trunk highways.
(2)
The Town Plan Commission and Town Board shall review and consider for approval a site plan and plan of operation in accordance with § 300-6F for each building or use proposal. The review shall be required to achieve a satisfactory relationship between the permitted use, its operating characteristics, the arterial highway system and adjacent uses such as retail, residential, customer service, and business park.
E.
Prohibited uses.
