The purpose of this article is to indicate which land uses may
locate in each zoning district and under what requirements; and which
land uses may not locate therein. Certain land uses may locate in
a given district as a matter of right upon compliance with special
regulations for such a land use. A further distinction is made for
land uses that may locate in a given district only upon obtaining
a conditional use or temporary use permit.
The allowable land uses for each zoning district are established in Article 2 of this chapter. Detailed descriptions and regulations for uses are found in §§ 390-0305 through 390-0316. Even if a land use may be indicated as permitted by right or requiring a conditional use in a particular district, such a land use may not necessarily be permitted or permissible on any or every property in such district. No land use is permitted or permissible on a property unless it can be located on it or implemented in full compliance with all of the applicable standards and regulations of this chapter or unless an appropriate variance has been granted pursuant to § 390-1215.
A.
Principal land uses permitted by right. Principal land uses listed as permitted by right (designated by the letter "P" in the Table of Land Uses; see § 390-0305) are permitted per the general land use requirements of this section; per the density, intensity, and bulk regulations of the specific zoning district in which they are located; per any additional requirements imposed by applicable overlay districts; per all other applicable requirements of this chapter; and per any and all other applicable Village, county, state, and federal regulations.
B.
Principal land uses allowed as conditional uses. Principal land uses allowed only with a conditional use permit (designated by the letter "C" in the Table of Land Uses; see § 390-0305) may be permitted, subject to all the requirements applicable to uses permitted by right as listed in Subsection A above, plus any additional requirements applicable to that particular land use imposed as part of the conditional use permit process established in § 390-1207. Each application for, and instance of, a conditional use shall be considered a unique situation and shall not be construed as precedence for similar requests. Except for uses approved under a general development plan and final development plan in a planned development (see § 390-0709), all uses requiring a conditional use permit shall comply with the procedural requirements of § 390-1207.
C.
Accessory land uses. Accessory land uses are allowed subject to all the requirements and exemptions applicable to principal land uses permitted by right as listed in Subsection A above. Accessory land uses allowed only with a conditional use permit are subject to all the requirements and exemptions applicable to principal land uses requiring a conditional use permit as listed in Subsection B above.
All uses of land initiated within the jurisdiction of this chapter
on or following the effective date of this chapter shall comply with
all of the provisions of this chapter.
A.
Land use regulations and requirements. All uses of land shall comply
with all the regulations and requirements of this chapter pertaining

of the Village of Williams Bay.
B.
Accessory land uses. Accessory land uses shall comply with the regulations
and requirements of this chapter as well as the following listed regulations:

principal building and a street frontage on the same lot, nor within
any required front yard or street side yard, except when there is
a shore yard. In instances where there is a shore yard, shore yards
shall be treated as front yards and street yards as rear yards, whereby
accessory structures may be located between a principal building and
a street frontage on the same lot.
(3)
With the exception of home occupations, accessory uses and structures
shall not involve the conduct of business, trade, or industry.

chapter pertaining to the preservation of woodlands and mature trees,
and the provision of landscaping and buffer yards. These requirements

districts, which are directly related to the effective bulk of a structure.
H.

both procedural and technical requirements.
The land use categories employed by this chapter are defined in §§ 390-0306 through 390-0316. Land use categories that are not listed in this chapter are not necessarily excluded from locating within any given zoning district. Section 390-1216 empowers the Village Board to make interpretations on matters regarding specific land use proposals that are not addressed by this chapter.
The Table of Land Uses (Figures 390-0305A through 390-0305J) is provided as a convenience for the Zoning Administrator and the general public.
