[Ord. No. 13-22, 10-28-2013; Ordinance dated 1-19-2022; amended 6-27-2022 by Ord. No. 22-04; 11-11-2024 by Ord. No. 24-14; 11-11-2024 by Ord. No. 24-19]
The following subsections specify the purposes and intents of the standard zoning districts established by this chapter.
(1) 
Agricultural districts.
(a) 
Rural Holding (RH) District.
1. 
Description and purpose. This district is intended to permit development which is solely of a rural community character. The land use standards for this district permit very low density single-family residential development at a density of one dwelling unit for every 35 gross acres, as well as a variety of agricultural and agricultural support land uses. Density and intensity standards for this district are designed to ensure that development which requires even a minimum of urban services does not occur until such services are available. As such, the Rural Holding (RH) District shall either serve as a designation which preserves and protects agricultural activities, or as a "holding zone" which provides for an interim land use (agriculture) that will easily permit further development (with rezoning to another district) at the appropriate time.
Rationale: This district is used to provide for the protection of agricultural activities and a very low density residential area for those who want to live in a rural environment and who retain enough land with their residence to ensure that the rural environment is maintained as long as the Rural Holding (RH) District designation is retained. In this manner, even if all property were developed in a given area with the Rural Holding (RH) District designation, the rural community character of that area would still be maintained.

A variety of residential development options are available in this district, with a maximum gross density (MGD) of one dwelling unit for every five gross acres.
Rationale: This district is used to provide for the permanent protection of a very low density residential area for those who want to live in a countryside environment and retain enough land with their residence, or in their development, to ensure that the countryside character is maintained as long as the CR-5ac District designation is retained, regardless of how much development occurs within that area.

Nonresidential districts.
(a) 
Neighborhood Office (NO) District.
1. 
Description and purpose. This district is intended to permit high-quality office and institutional land uses at an intensity compatible with the older portions of the City predominately developed with large homes which are desirable to maintain, where traffic volumes and adjacent land uses dictate the transition of these areas to certain nonresidential uses. The desired neighborhood character of the development is attained through landscape surface area ratio (LSR) requirements, and by restricting the maximum building size (MBS) of all buildings within each instance of this district to 5,000 square feet. A range of dwelling unit types may be allowed. Significant areas of landscaping are required in this district to ensure that this effect is achieved. In order to ensure a minimum of disruption to adjacent residential development, no development within this district shall take direct access to a local residential street or a residential collector street.
Rationale: This district is used to provide for the permanent protection of an area which preserves the original residential appearance, yet permits office and institutional land uses, and which ensures that the neighborhood character is maintained as long as the NO District designation is retained, regardless of how much development occurs within that area.
Neighborhood Office architectural requirements.
(a) 
Maximum zoning district: two acres.
(b) 
Minimum zoning district separation: 2,000 feet.

Neighborhood Business (NB) District.
1. 
Description and purpose. This district is intended to permit small-scale commercial development which is compatible with the desired overall neighborhood community character of the area in general, and with adjacent residential development in particular. The desired neighborhood community character of the development is attained through landscape surface area ratio (LSR) requirements, and by restricting the maximum building size (MBS) of all buildings within each instance of this district to 5,000 square feet. Significant areas of landscaping are required in this district to ensure that this effect is achieved. In order to ensure a minimum of disruption to residential development, no development within this district shall take direct access to a local residential street or a residential collector street.
Rationale: This district is used to provide both convenience-oriented goods and services and for the permanent protection of adjacent residential areas by permitting only a limited range of commercial activities. Together, these requirements ensure that the desired character is maintained as long as the NB District designation is retained, regardless of how much development occurs within that area.

Planned Business (PB) District.
1. 
Description and purpose. This district is intended to permit large- and small-scale commercial development which is compatible with the desired overall community character of the area in general. Significant areas of landscaping are required in this district to ensure that this effect is achieved. A wide range of office, retail, and lodging land uses are permitted within this district. In order to ensure a minimum of disruption to residential development, no development within this district shall take direct access to a local residential street or a residential collector street.
Rationale: This district is intended to provide the principal zoning district for commercial development which occurs after the adoption of this chapter. The standards of this district are designed to provide a clear distinction from the General Business and Central Business Districts in terms of permitted intensity of development, treatment of outdoor sales, and required green space areas. The desired suburban community character of the development is attained through the landscape surface area ratio (LSR) requirements. Together, these requirements ensure that the desired community character is maintained as long as the Planned Business District designation is retained, regardless of how much development occurs within that area.

General Business (GB) District.
1. 
Description and purpose. This district is intended to permit both large- and small-scale commercial development at intensities which provide significant incentives for infill development and the continued economic viability of existing development. To accomplish this effect, minimum required green space ratios (GSRs) are substantially lower than those required in the Planned Business District. A wide range of office, retail, and lodging land uses are permitted within this district. In order to ensure a minimum of disruption to residential development, no development within this district shall take direct access to a local residential street or a residential collector street.
Rationale: This district is intended to provide an alternative, primarily infill development, designation for commercial activity to the Suburban Commercial District. Performance standards for the General Business District are designed to ensure the long-term economic health of strip commercial development areas, existing as of the effective date of this chapter, by limiting the attraction of the Planned Business District to those and uses which can afford the relatively higher development costs and rents associated with development in that district.

Description and purpose. This district is intended to permit both large- and small-scale "downtown" commercial development at an intensity which provides significant incentives for infill development, redevelopment, and the continued economic viability of existing development. To accomplish this effect, minimum landscape surface ratios (LSRs) permitted in this district are much lower than those allowed in the Planned Business and General Business Districts.

In order to ensure a minimum of disruption to residential development, no development within this district shall take direct access to a local residential street or a residential collector street. No requirements for on site landscaping or parking are required in this district. This district is strictly limited to the central city locations.
Rationale: This district is intended to provide an alternative, primarily infill development, designation for commercial activity to the Planned Business (PB) and General Business District are designed to assist in maintaining the long-term viability of the central city.

Planned Industrial (PI) District.
1. 
Description and purpose. This district is intended to permit both large- and small-scale industrial and office development at an intensity which is consistent with the overall desired suburban community character of the community. Beyond a relatively high minimum green space ratio (GSR), the primary distinguishing feature of this district is that it is geared to indoor industrial activities which are not typically associated with high levels of noise, soot, odors and other potential nuisances for adjoining properties. In order to ensure a minimum of disruption to residential development, no development within this district shall take direct access to a local residential street or a residential collector street.
Rationale: This district is intended to provide a location for suburban intensity light industrial land uses such as assembly operations, storage and warehousing facilities, offices, and light manufacturing which are protected from potential nuisances associated with certain development permitted within the GI District. In addition, land uses shall comply with the minimum performance standards presented in Article 7, Performance Standards.

1. 
Description and purpose. This district is intended to permit both large- and small-scale industrial and office development at an intensity which is consistent with existing transition and urban intensity development. Beyond a relatively high minimum green space ratio (GSR), the primary distinguishing feature of this district is that it is geared to indoor industrial activities which are not typically associated with high levels of noise, soot, odors and other potential nuisances for adjoining properties. To ensure a minimum of disruption to residential development, no development within this district shall take direct access to a local residential street or a residential collector street.
Rationale: This district is intended to provide a location for urban intensity light industrial land uses, such as assembly operations, storage and warehousing facilities, offices, and light manufacturing, which are protected from potential nuisances associated with certain development permitted within the HI District. In addition, uses shall comply with the minimum performance standards presented in Article 7, Performance Standards.

Heavy Industrial (HI) District.
1. 
Description and purpose. This district is intended to permit both large- and small-scale industrial and office development at an intensity which provides ample incentive for infill development and redevelopment of industrial areas existing as of the effective date of this chapter. This district is designed to permit a very wide variety of industrial uses which may occur both indoors and outdoors, including certain land uses which are permitted in no other zoning district because of their potential to create nuisances for adjoining properties. In order to ensure a minimum of disruption to residential development, no development within this district shall take direct access to a local residential street or a residential collector street.
Rationale: This district is intended to provide a location for both light and heavy industrial uses in a zoning district in which the potential for nuisance complaints from nearby properties is minimized. It must be emphasized that this is not a district where virtually any land use is permitted, as all uses shall comply with the minimum performance standards presented in Article 7, Performance Standards. In addition, certain land uses, such as extraction, junkyards and salvage operations, and freight terminals, are permitted within this district only upon the granting of a conditional use permit.

Planned Business Park (PBP) District.
1. 
Description and Purpose: This district is intended to permit both large- and small-scale office, service business and highly restrictive industrial and warehousing uses in a mutually compatible environment, within a large development park, with a campus-type setting. Land uses and site design within the PGP District shall be restricted to those which require a pleasant, hazard-free and nuisance-free environment, and do not create either an appreciable nuisance or hazard to other property, individuals or the general public. In order to ensure a minimum of disruption to residential development, no development within this district shall take direct access to a local residential street or a residential collector street. The City of Lake Geneva will require the application of City-approved restrictive covenants when considering an approval of a zoning map amendment to the Planned Business Park (PBP) Zoning District.
Rationale: this district is intended to provide a location for suburban intensity office, service, and light industrial land uses which are protected from potential use conflicts and nuisances that may be associated with certain development permitted within the PI or GI Districts. In addition, land uses shall comply with the minimum performance standards presented in Article 7, Performance Standards.

This district is designed to forward both aesthetic and economic objectives of the City by controlling the site design and the land use, appearance, density, or intensity 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. Refer to Section 98-914 for the procedures applicable to proposal review in this standard zoning district.

(1) 
Where an apparent discrepancy exists between the location of the outermost boundary of the Floodfringe District or the Floodplain District shown on the Official Zoning Map and actual field conditions, the location shall be initially determined by the Zoning Administrator using the criteria described in Subsections (2) and (3), below. Where the Zoning Administrator finds that there is a significant difference between the map and the actual field conditions, the map shall be amended using the procedures established in Section 98-903. Disputes between the Zoning Administrator and the applicant over the location of the district boundary line shall be settled using the procedures outlined in Section 98-934(8)(b).
(2) 
Where flood profiles exist, the location of the district boundary line shall be determined by the Zoning Administrator using both the scale appearing on the map and the elevations shown on the water surface profile of the regional flood. Where a discrepancy exists between the map, and actual field conditions, the regional flood elevations shall govern. A map amendment is required where there is a significant discrepancy between the map and actual field conditions. The Zoning Administrator shall have the authority to grant or deny a land use permit on the basis of a district boundary derived from the elevations shown on the water surface profile of the regional flood, whether or not a map amendment is required. The Zoning Administrator shall be responsible for initiating any map amendments required under this section within a reasonable period of time.
(3) 
Where flood profiles do not exist, the location of the district boundary line shall be determined by the Zoning Administrator using the scale appearing on the map, visual on-site inspection and any available information provided by the Department of Natural Resources. Where there is a significant difference between the map and actual field conditions, the map shall be amended. Where a map amendment has been approved by both the Common Council and the Department of Natural Resources, the Zoning Administrator shall have the authority to grant or deny a land use permit.

This district is intended to grant legal conforming status to land uses and all other aspects of development for properties located within the district. Properties which have received this designation may continue land uses, densities and intensities of development, and structural configurations which exist as of the effective date of this chapter. As legal, conforming land uses and structures, such land uses may be replaced with similar land uses and such structures may be reconstructed, even if damaged to more than 50% of their value. The physical expansion of such land uses or densities not otherwise permitted within the base zoning district, or the physical expansion of such structures not conforming with the intensity or bulk restrictions of the base zoning district, shall require the granting of a conditional use permit. The Zoning Administrator shall determine if sufficient evidence is presented to demonstrate the extent of land use and development existing as of the effective date of this chapter if such reconstruction or reuse is proposed. Building permits, utility records and photographs are considered good evidence of such status.
