Editor's Note: The Zoning Map is on file in the City offices.
The following rules shall be used to determine the precise location of any zoning district boundary shown on the Official Zoning Map of the City of Shawano:
(1) 
Zoning district boundaries shown as following or approximately following the limits of any city, town, or county boundary shall be construed as following such limits.
(2) 
Zoning district boundaries shown as following or approximately following streets or railroad lines shall be construed as following the center line of such streets or railroad lines.
(3) 
Zoning district boundary lines shown as following or approximately following platted lot lines or other property lines as shown on the City of Shawano or Shawano County tax maps shall be construed as following such lines.
(4) 
Zoning district boundaries shown as following or approximately following the center lines of streams, rivers, or other continuously flowing watercourses shall be construed as following the channel center lines of such watercourses, and, in the event of a natural change in the location of such streams, rivers, or other watercourses, the zoning district boundary shall be construed as moving with the channel center line.
(5) 
Zoning district boundaries shown as following or approximately following ridgelines or watershed boundaries shall be construed as following such lines.
(6) 
Zoning district boundaries shown as separated from, any of the features listed in Subsections (1) through (5), above, shall be construed to be at such distances therefrom as are shown on the Official Zoning Map.
(7) 
Where any uncertainty exists as to the exact location of a zoning district boundary line, as shown on the Official Zoning Map, the location of the line shall be determined by the Zoning Administrator.
The following sections specify the description and purpose of the standard zoning districts established by this chapter, establish principal and accessory uses permitted by right or as conditional uses, establish bulk, density, and intensity standards, and reference other applicable regulations. Definitions and regulations for land uses are provided in Article III. Section 10-54 includes a Table of Land Uses indicating which land uses are allowed in each zoning district, and whether they are permitted by right, by conditional use, as accessory uses, or as temporary uses.
(1) 
Intent. This district is intended to permit very-low-density, single-family detached residential development at a density of no more than one dwelling unit for every 35 gross acres. This district acts as a holding zone to preserve productive agricultural lands in the long-term, protect existing farm operations from encroachment by incompatible uses, promote further investments in farming, and may maintain eligibility for farming incentive programs.

Principal uses permitted by right. Refer to Article III for detailed definitions and requirements for each of the following land uses.
(a) 
Single-family (thirty-five-acre lot). [NOTE: This district is designed to allow the property owner to create one new lot (with a maximum lot area of five acres) from a parent lot of between one and 70 acres. The new lot may include the existing residence, allowing the rest of the undeveloped original lot to be sold. The required maximum residential density of one dwelling per 35 acres is intended to retain agricultural or other rural uses until urban services are available to enable a Zoning Map amendment to a development-oriented zoning district.]

Note: This district is designed to allow the property owner to create one new lot (with a maximum lot area of five acres) from a parent lot of between one and 70 acres.

Design standards.
(a) 
Purpose. This district is intended to implement the urban design recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan by preserving and enhancing the historical quality of the downtown and by attaining a consistent visually pleasing image for the downtown area, as defined by the mapped boundaries of the Downtown Mixed Use District. As emphasized by said Plan, this district is designed to forward both aesthetic and economic objectives of the City by controlling the site design and appearance of development within the district in a manner which is consistent with sound land use, urban design, and economic revitalization principles. The application of these standards will ensure long-term progress and broad participation toward these principles.
(b) 
Application of regulations. The regulations of this section shall apply to changes to the exterior of any building within the mapped boundaries of the Downtown Mixed Use District.
(c) 
Review and approval. There are three categories of review in this district: renovation review, design review, and project review. These categories and procedural requirements for review and approval are described fully in § 10-175.
(d) 
Design theme. The design theme for the Downtown Mixed Use District is based on its historical, pedestrian-oriented development pattern that incorporates retail, residential, and institutional uses. Building orientation and character includes minimum setbacks at the edge of the sidewalk, multistory structures, use of alleys for access, and on-street or other off-site parking. The design theme is characterized by a variety of architectural styles popular at the time, including Italianate, Romanesque, and Neoclassical, in a two-story format with office, storage, or residential located over commercial. The facades of these buildings have a traditional main street storefront appearance, are relatively small in scale, have street yard and side yard setbacks of zero feet, have prominent horizontal and vertical patterns formed by regularly spaced window and door openings, detailed cornice designs, rich detailing in masonry coursing, window detailing and ornamentation, and are predominately of brick, stone, or wood. See Figure 10-37a. Exterior building materials are of high quality. Exterior appurtenances are minimal. Exterior colors are harmonious, simple, and muted. Exterior signage blends, rather than contrasts, with buildings in terms of coloring (complementary to building), location (on-building), size (small), and number (few).
Figure 10-37a
Architectural Components
010 Fig 10-37a Architectural Components.tif
(e) 
Designated historic structures. These regulations are separate and in addition to requirements related to changes to state and national landmarks.
(f) 
Design standards. Construction, including new structures, building additions, building alterations, and restoration or rehabilitation shall correspond to the urban design guidelines as determined and/or recommended by the Plan Commission and as evidenced by certain existing structures within the Downtown and by the following requirements for building setback; height; building mass; horizontal rhythms (created by the placement and design of facade openings and related elements, such as piers, and columns); vertical rhythms (created by the placement and design of facade details, such as sills, transoms, cornices and sign bands); roof forms; exterior materials; exterior surface features and appurtenances; exterior colors; exterior signage; on-site landscaping; exterior lighting; parking and loading area design; and the use of screening.
(g) 
Building setback. Throughout the district, the setback of buildings from street yard and side yard property lines shall be compatible with existing buildings in the immediate area which conform to the design theme described in Subsection (8)(d) above, as determined and/or recommended by the Plan Commission.
(h) 
Building height. Throughout the district, the height of buildings shall be compatible with existing buildings in the immediate area which conform to the design theme described in Subsection (8)(d) above, as determined and/or recommended by the Plan Commission. In no instance shall buildings be more than one story taller or shorter than the height of a building of similar use on one of the immediately adjoining properties, which conform to the design theme described in Subsection (8)(d) above, as determined and/or recommended by the Plan Commission. See Figure 10-37b.
Figure 10-37b
Building Height Example
010 Fig 10-37b Bldg Height Example.tif
(i) 
Building mass. Throughout the district, the mass of buildings shall be compatible with existing buildings in the immediate area which conform to the design theme described in Subsection (8)(d) above, as determined and/or recommended by the Plan Commission. The characteristic proportion (relationship between facade height and width) of the design theme shall be maintained. Building mass for large structures (with a facade area exceeding 5,000 square feet) shall be disguised through the use of facade articulations, or through the use of exterior treatments which give the impression of directly adjoining individual buildings, as determined and/or recommended appropriate by the Plan Commission.
(j) 
Horizontal rhythms. The horizontal pattern of exterior building elements formed by patterns of building openings for windows and doors, and related elements, such as piers and columns, shall be spaced at regular intervals across all visible facades of the building and shall be compatible with those of existing buildings in the immediate area which conform to the design theme described in Subsection (8)(d) above, as determined by the Plan Commission.
(k) 
Vertical rhythms. The floor heights on main facades shall appear visually in proportion to those of adjoining buildings. The rhythm of the ground floor shall harmonize with the rhythm of upper floors. The vertical pattern of exterior building elements formed by patterns of building openings for windows and doors, and related elements, such as sills, headers, transoms, cornices and sign bands, shall be compatible in design and elevation with those of existing buildings in the immediate area which conform to the design theme described in Subsection (8)(d) above, as determined by the Plan Commission.
(l) 
Roof forms. Flat or gently sloping roofs which are not visible from the street shall be used. Mansards or other exotic roof shapes not characteristic of the design theme described in Subsection (8)(d) above, as determined by the Plan Commission, shall not be used. Throughout the district, roof shapes not characteristic of the design theme described in Subsection (8)(d) above, as determined by the Plan Commission, shall not be used. See Figure 10-37c.

Roof Forms
010 Fig 10-37c Roof Forms.tif
(m) 
Exterior materials. Selected building materials shall be compatible with those of existing buildings in the immediate area which conform to the design theme described in Subsection (8)(d) above, a determined by the Plan Commission.
1. 
Masonry. Stone or brick facing should be of even coloration and consistent size. Cinder block, concrete block, concrete slab, or concrete panel shall not be permitted.
2. 
Siding. Wood or thin board texture vinyl or textured metal clapboard siding may be appropriate, particularly if the proposed nonmasonry exterior was used on a building which conforms to the design theme described in Subsection (8)(d) above, as determined by the Plan Commission. In certain instances clapboard, board and batten may be in keeping with the design theme. Asphalt shingles shall not be permitted.
3. 
Glazing. Clear, or slightly tinted glass or related glazing material shall be used. Mirrored glass, smoked glass, or heavily tinted glass shall not be permitted.
(n) 
Exterior surface. Exterior surface appurtenances shall be compatible with those of existing buildings in the immediate area which conform to the design theme described in Subsection (8)(d) above, as determined by the Plan Commission.
1. 
The traditional storefront design theme (characterized by strong horizontal and vertical rhythms formed by building openings, windows, and transom windows) shall be employed for all new nonresidential buildings, including retail, office, professional service, personal service, maintenance, lodging, entertainment, and storage uses.
2. 
Throughout the district, avoid cluttering building facades with brackets, wiring, meter boxes, antennas, gutters, downspouts and other appurtenances. Unnecessary signs shall also be avoided. Where necessary, such features shall be colored so as to blend in, rather than contrast, with the immediately adjacent building exterior. Extraneous ornamentation which is inconsistent with the design theme described in Subsection (8)(d) above, as determined by the Plan Commission, is also prohibited.
(o) 
Awnings. Throughout the district, awning size, color and placement should complement the architectural character of the building, as determined by the Plan Commission. Soft, weather-treated canvas or vinyl materials which allow for flexible or fixed installation shall be used. Aluminum or suspended metal canopies shall be prohibited. Signage applied to awnings shall be simple and durable. Backlit awnings are prohibited.
(p) 
Exterior colors. Selected exterior colors for structures and appurtenances, including fixtures and signs, shall be compatible and harmonious with those of existing buildings in the immediate area which conform to the design theme described in Subsection (8)(d) above, as determined by the Plan Commission. Specifically:
1. 
Primary (red, blue, green, and yellow) colors, black, and fluorescent, day glow, and/or neon colors shall not be permitted. Where such colors constitute a component of a standardized corporate theme or identity, muted versions of such colors shall be used.
2. 
High-gloss paints, lacquers, varnishes or other shiny nonglazing surfaces shall not be used.
3. 
Color combination schemes shall be limited to no more than three different colors for all the structures and appurtenances on a property. (Varying shades, tints or intensities of a color shall count as a different color for this purpose.)
4. 
Color schemes shall be used consistently throughout the property, including on both the upper and lower portions of buildings, and on all facades of a building or structure.
(q) 
Exterior lighting. Throughout the district, on-site exterior lighting shall be compatible and harmonious with the design theme described in Subsection (8)(d) above, as determined by the Plan Commission. Specifically:
1. 
Pedestrian lighting: The design, color, height, location and light quality of on-site pedestrian lighting shall be consistent with the pedestrian lighting fixtures.
2. 
Vehicular circulation lighting: The design, color, height, location and light quality of on-site vehicular circulation lighting for officially designated historic properties shall be consistent with the lighting fixtures approved by the Plan Commission.
3. 
Additional lighting standards are found in § 10-106.
(r) 
Signage. All signage existing upon the adoption date of this chapter which does not comply with the standards of Article IX, Signage, may be continued as long as it is well maintained. However, the maintenance of such legal nonconforming signs shall be limited to repair of the sign structural or lighting elements, and to the repainting or replacement of the sign face with identical new material, message, and original appearance. Should a change in material, message, or original appearance be desired, the legal nonconforming sign shall be removed.
(s) 
Cleaning. Structural components and exterior materials shall be cleaned when necessary, and with only the gentlest possible methods. Low-pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes are acceptable. Sandblasting is never acceptable, except for the purposes of graffiti removal. Other cleaning methods shall be preapproved by the Plan Commission.
(t) 
Rehabilitation and restoration. New projects, building additions, and new appurtenances and features shall comply with the provisions of Subsections (8)(a) through (m) above. The following standards shall apply where existing construction is proposed for rehabilitation and/or restoration:
1. 
In general. Buildings shall be restored relying on physical evidence (such as photographs, original drawings, and existing architectural details) as much as possible, in keeping with the design theme described in Subsection (8)(d) above, as determined by the Plan Commission. Specifically, throughout the Downtown Mixed Use District, the provisions of this subsection shall apply.
2. 
Exterior materials and surface features. Materials and features identical to the original shall be used. Where such knowledge is lacking, materials and features in common use at the time of building erection, as determined by the Plan Commission, shall be used. Significant architectural features, including cornices, moldings and coursings shall be preserved or replaced with identical features and materials where possible.
3. 
Windows and doors. The size, proportion and rhythm of original windows and doors shall not be altered. Original window and door openings shall not be blocked, except with a dark opaque panel placed behind the window or door to preserve the appearance of the opening. Where now blocked in another manner, blocked window and doors shall be restored using said method. Window and door features, including lintels, sills, architraves, shutters, pediments, hoods and hardware, shall be preserved where possible, or replaced with identical features and materials. Dark frames (i.e., anodized bronze) shall be used to replace storefront and upper story windows. Clear aluminum finishes and mill finish aluminum storm windows are prohibited. Real shutters and awnings shall be used if there is evidence that they were a component of the original building design. Vinyl and plastic shutters and awnings shall be prohibited.
4. 
Shop fronts. Shop fronts should fit inside the original shop front in terms of all three dimensions (vertical, horizontal and front to back articulation).
5. 
Display windows. Display windows should be restored to their original appearance.
6. 
Entrances and porches. Original porches and steps shall be retained, except as required to meet accessibility standards. Porches, steps and related enclosures which do not comply with the architectural design theme, as determined by the Plan Commission, shall be removed.
7. 
Roofs. The original roof shape and character of visible materials shall be retained. Original architectural features which give the roof its essential character, including dormer windows, cupolas, cornices, brackets, chimneys and weather vanes, shall be preserved if in keeping with the architectural design theme as determined by the Plan Commission.

See Article III
(1) 
Purpose. The purpose of this district is to provide for the possible relaxation of certain development standards pertaining to the underlying standard zoning district. (See Article II.) In exchange for such flexibility, planned developments shall provide a much higher level of site design, architectural control, and other aspects of aesthetic and functional excellence than normally required for other developments.
(2) 
Intent. Planned developments are intended to encourage, promote, and provide improved environmental design by allowing for greater freedom, imagination, and flexibility in the development of land, while ensuring substantial compliance with the basic intent of this chapter and the City of Shawano Comprehensive Plan. To this end, planned developments allow diversification and variation in the relationship of uses, structures, open spaces, and heights of structures in developments conceived and implemented as comprehensive and cohesive unified projects. It is further intended to encourage economic development and more rational developments with regard to public services and to encourage and facilitate preservation of open space and natural resources. Planned developments are not intended to circumvent the intent of other zoning districts or this chapter.
(3) 
Applicability.
(a) 
Ownership. A tract of land proposed to be developed as a PD shall be under the control of a single owner, partnership, or corporation, where each owner agrees in advance to be bound by the conditions and regulations which will be effective within the district and to record such covenants, easements, and other provisions with the county.
(b) 
Size. There is no minimum or maximum size for a PD.
(c) 
Condominium projects with jointly owned common spaces and/or commonly owned structural walls, roofs, or other structural elements must be approved as PDs if, as a result of a condominium division of the land, the lot requirements of the district in which the development is located cannot otherwise be met. This requirement would apply to townhouses where the resulting lot size would be less than otherwise required.
(4) 
See § 10-177 for the process to establish Planned Development Zoning.
(5) 
See §§ 10-177(3)(c) and 10-177(3)(d) for the general development plan and specific implementation plan requirements.
(6) 
Planned developments are exempt from the requirements of § 10-118, Group and large development standards.
(1) 
Intent.
(a) 
This district is intended to recognize the presence and importance of large-scale governmental, office, educational, medical, and research and development facilities in the City, to facilitate their development, and to coordinate their futures with those of their neighbors and the community as a whole. All properties located within a Campus Development Zoning District shall be owned, under a contract to purchase or a similar arrangement, or otherwise under control by the main campus entity, as demonstrated to the satisfaction of the City.
(b) 
This district is also intended to:
1. 
Permit appropriate campus growth, while minimizing adverse impacts associated with modifications, infill development, and/or expansion.
2. 
Recognize the sharing of parking, green space, and other efficiencies that come with integrated campus planning and development.
3. 
Balance the ability of a campus to evolve and the public benefits associated with such development with the need to protect the livability and vitality of nearby properties and neighborhoods.
4. 
Encourage the preparation of campus master plans that establish full conforming zoning status, facilitate predictable campus development, and enable nearby property owners, residents and the community to understand short-term development proposals, impacts and mitigation strategies within the context of long-term development possibilities.
(2) 
See § 10-180 for the process to establish campus development zoning.
(3) 
See § 10-180(5) for the Campus Master Plan requirements.
