Boundaries of these districts are hereby established as shown on
the most recent map entitled "Zoning Map - Village of Mukwonago, Wisconsin,"
which map accompanies and is herein made a part of this chapter. All
notations and references shown on the maps are as much a part of this
chapter as though specifically described herein. This chapter hereby
incorporates herein any future changes or any later zoning maps that
may be adopted by ordinance of the Village Board.
(c)
The district boundaries in all districts, except the floodplain/shoreland-wetland
district shall be construed to follow: corporate limits; U.S. Public
Land Survey lines; lot or property lines; centerlines of streets,
highways, alleys, easements and railroad rights-of-way or such lines
extended.
(d)
The boundaries of the floodplain/shoreland-wetland district shall
be as set forth in Division 7 of this article.
(e)
Vacation of public streets and alleys shall cause the vacated land
to be automatically placed in the same district as the abutting side
to which the vacated land reverts.
(f)
Annexations to or consolidations with the Village subsequent to the
effective date of this chapter shall be placed in the A-1 agricultural
holding district, unless the annexation ordinance places the land
in another district. If the annexation ordinance does not set forth
a zoning classification, then, within one year, the Village plan commission
shall evaluate and recommend a permanent classification to the Village
Board. Annexations containing floodplain/shoreland-wetland districts
shall be governed as set forth in Division 7 of this article.
[Ord. No. 572, § I(9.0402), 2-6-1996]
A certified copy of the zoning map shall be adopted and approved
with the text as part of this chapter and shall bear upon its face
the attestation of the Village President and the Village Clerk and
shall be available to the public in the office of the Village Clerk.
Changes thereafter to the general zoning districts shall not become
effective until entered and attested on the certified copy.
[Ord. No. 926, § II(Exh.
A), 4-18-2017]
(a)
This section describes the terms and provisions under which a planned
unit development overlay is considered and approved, describing regulatory
intent, standards and criteria for consideration, status of prior
approved planned unit developments, modifications to Village development
codes that are allowed through this process, modifications to Village
development codes that are not allowed, approval stages, submittal
requirements, criterial for approval of a planned unit development
overlay and other provisions to administer consideration and approval.
Furthermore, the Village may provide additional guidelines to establish
a planned unit development overlay.
(1)
Regulatory intent. A planned unit development overlay district, as defined under "planned unit development" in § 100-29, is a regulatory process allowing modifications to a development plan to meet overall community land use goals and density criteria without being bound by exact development standards of an individual zoning district. The process provides a flexible regulatory framework designed to allow developers greater freedom, imagination and flexibility in the development of land while ensuring substantial compliance with the basic intent of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code. In the Village of Mukwonago, a planned unit development is an overlay district and does not appear on the Municipal Zoning Map until a planned unit development overlay district is approved for the development site.
[Amended 10-21-2020 by Ord. No. 985]
(2)
Standards and criteria established. Each planned unit development
overlay district is approved using the procedure for rezoning. The
following describe general standards and criteria in the use and approval
of a planned unit development overlay district:
[Amended 10-21-2020 by Ord. No. 985]
a.
A minimum property size of two acres is required for a property
owner to request a planned unit development overlay district.
b.
At time of approval, a planned unit development overlay district
shall be in a unified ownership either in a single property or a grouping
of properties in unified ownership. Nothing in the planned unit development
overlay district approval shall prevent future land division or sale
of all or portions of the development, such as condominium ownership.
Approval of a planned unit development overlay district may specify
the terms of development phasing and timing of land division or sale.
c.
The development type allowed in a planned unit development overlay
district shall be consistent with the land use descriptions and policies
for the subject property of the Village Comprehensive Plan, and shall
be approved with an underlying base zoning district. A planned unit
development overlay district may be approved with multiple underlying
base zoning districts to improve the orderly development of the unified
site, or when other underlying base zoning districts must remain pursuant
to other requirements, such as a floodplain district.
d.
Uses permitted in a planned unit development overlay district shall conform to uses permitted in the underlying base zoning district or districts. Individual structures shall comply with the specific building area and height requirements of the underlying base zoning district, except when height regulations of the underlying base zoning district allow flexibility via the planned unit development process. All open space of the underlying base zoning district shall be complied with either individually or by providing the combined open space required for the entire development in one or more locations within the development. However, a planned unit development overlay district approved as a business mixed-use overlay district or a village center overlay zoning district shall conform to the standards of that specific overlay district as outlined in this Chapter 100.
e.
All zoning districts allowed in this chapter may be utilized
as underlying base zoning district or districts in a planned unit
development overlay district, except for residential districts that
permit single-family development.
f.
Approval by the Village Board, with recommendation from the
Plan Commission, shall include a detailed list of allowed modifications
from zoning and other Village Municipal Code requirements along with
a detailed list of approved development plans. Each planned unit development
shall be further regulated by a developer's agreement.
(3)
Prior approved planned unit developments. The Village of Mukwonago has allowed prior planned unit developments in specific zoning districts with a specific set of criteria. While planned unit development approval via the prior criteria is no longer an option within this Chapter 100; nonetheless, developments approved pursuant to prior criteria remain in good standing if conforming to the plans and standards approved for each specific planned unit development. Any requested change in the approved plans or standards shall be amended through this process of § 100-53.
(4)
Modifications allowed. To create a unified development that
is economically successful to both the developer/owner and the Village,
and to require high quality standards for site design, architectural
design, landscaping, proper infrastructure, environmental protections
and protection of persons and property, modifications to any development
standard may be allowed, except for those listed in Subsection (a)(5)
of this section. With approval of modifications, the Village may require
aesthetic enhancements to the development design, and may require
design enhancements and property maintenance standards for the protection
of persons and property. Generally, a typical planned unit development
overlay district will involve the following modifications to normal
development standards.
a.
Setbacks. Building, parking lot and drive aisle setbacks may
be modified. With reduced setbacks, the Village may require larger
setbacks on another part of the property and may require additional
landscaping or use of berms, for example, to offset a lesser setback.
Through a planned unit development, drive aisle setbacks may be modified
or eliminated to promote cross access between adjacent properties
in separate ownerships. Approval of a planned unit development may
set a minimum standard for distance between buildings within the same
planned unit development.
b.
Greenspace. Minimum greenspace setbacks may be modified. With
reduced setbacks, the Village may require larger setbacks on another
part of the property and may require additional landscaping or use
of berms, or additional or larger parking lot landscaped islands,
for example, to offset a lesser setback.
c.
On-site parking. Modifications to on-site parking requirements
may occur, especially in a unified development where various uses
on the site have different parking demand times throughout the day
or week and allows shared parking between uses, or when a use of uses
on a property have an established lower parking demand than required
by the parking standards. Parking modifications may apply to parking
space and aisle minimum widths and sizes for uses that display vehicles
or equipment. Through planned unit development modifications, the
Village may establish design standards for any requested parking structure.
d.
Architectural design. Modifications to the minimum architectural
standards of the underlying zoning district may occur to enhance and
provide greater quality to a development than the minimum standards
allow, or to enhance an architectural theme of a unified development.
e.
Architectural embellishments. In non-residential developments,
modifications to building height maximums may occur to provide architectural
embellishments, such as a spire or clock tower that is part of an
architectural theme.
f.
Multiple buildings on a site. Modifications may occur to allow
multiple principal buildings on a site and/or to allow buildings normally
considered accessory structures, such as clubhouses, pavilions, gazebos,
etc.
g.
Outdoor display. Modifications may occur to allow outdoor displays
of goods for sale within the adjacent principal building. The Village
may establish standards for location, type, amount and duration of
outdoor display.
h.
Exterior lighting. Modifications may occur to allow for taller
parking lot lighting poles to reduce the amount of light poles needed
to provide adequate parking lot light coverage. The Village may establish
standards for pole and lighting luminaire design.
i.
Signage. Modifications may occur to allow for larger individual
wall signs and which side of a building wall signs is allowed to increase
visibility of a business or businesses in a unified development that
is not in a traditional strip-mall design. Modifications may occur
to the location and amount of freestanding signs within a unified
development.
j.
Property size. Modifications may occur to underlying zoning
standards for any lot size, width or depth requirement for sites within
unified developments that may be divided and sold after approval,
such as a satellite lot for an outbuilding within a retail development.
This modification allowance also applies to an outlot division to
allow for orderly site development, such as an outlot for a storm
water management basin or property reserved for future right-of-way
purposes.
(5)
Modifications not allowed. The following standards shall not
be modified.
a.
Residential dwelling unit density (as described in the underlying
zoning district standards as dwelling units per acre).
b.
Maximum building height (as described in the underlying zoning
district standards as maximum number of stories or maximum height
in feet), except when height regulations of the underlying base zoning
district allows flexibility via the planned unit development process.
c.
Parking lot and aisle width dimensions (within customer and
employee parking areas).
d.
Building codes and other life safety codes.
e.
Village development codes (infrastructure design standards,
storm water management and erosion control standards and other environmental
protection standards).
f.
Required floodplain, wetland or shoreland setbacks.
g.
Use within designated floodplains, wetland areas or environmental
corridors.
(6)
Approval Stages. All proposals for planned unit development
overlay are submitted and approved in two stages, except under subparagraph
(c) below:
a.
General development plan. The first stage is a general development
plan which shows the entire property holding. The general development
plan shows the general locations of buildings or building envelopes,
common open spaces, parking and drive areas, principal landscape features
and all public infrastructure planned for the entire unified development
site. If the development is proposed to occur in phases, sequence
of development should be indicated. It is recognized that general
development plans are often submitted prior to the identification
of the ultimate land user or the specific land uses.
b.
Detailed or final development plan. The second stage is a detailed
or final development plan which shows detailed plans and information
for that portion of a project which is intended for construction in
the near future. Frequently detailed plans are submitted for only
those portions of the total project area shown in the general development
plan which are planned for immediate development. Subsequent phases
of development are shown in separate detailed plans prepared at the
time of development.
c.
With any proposed planned unit development overlay with a unified
property size of five acres or less, the applicant may choose to go
directly to detailed or final development plan approval. In this case,
the requirements for submittal and review for a general development
plan and a detailed or final development plan shall be combined.
(7)
Submittal requirements.
a.

uses and site design than would be permitted under standard zoning
provisions. However, there are some general criteria that the plan
commission will follow in reviewing and approving PUDs. Criteria for
approval include:
a.
A planned development may be allowed by the plan commission
where natural features are determined to warrant preservation.
b.
Existing mature vegetation and natural topography will be preserved
to the greatest extent feasible.
c.
The character and intensity of the proposed development must
be compatible with existing and planned land uses on nearby and adjoining
