B. 
Planned development districts. Land uses that are permitted in a planned development district are enumerated in the general development plan for the district, along with development standards, if any.
Because the list of land uses cannot include every conceivable type of activity, those land uses that are listed shall be interpreted to include other land uses that are of a similar nature and have similar impacts to the listed use.
This chapter does not include any regulations relating to wind energy systems. The Village of Richfield may, however, enact an ordinance to regulate wind energy systems pursuant to the procedures and requirements set forth in § 66.0401, Wis. Stats.
A. 
Generally. No accessory building shall be constructed until the principal building is completed or is under construction.
B. 
Exemption for a utility cabinet. For the purpose of this chapter, a utility cabinet may be established on a vacant lot prior to the establishment of a principal use.
C. 
Removal of a principal building while retaining an accessory building. Pursuant to the procedures and requirements in Article 5, the Plan Commission may approve a special exception to allow the removal of a principal building, while retaining the accessory building, when the Commission determines that the principal building is dilapidated and the accessory building meets current building codes and serves a useful purpose. If the Commission approves the special exception, the property owner must record a deed restriction, as approved by the Commission, in the Washington County Register of Deeds office that controls the use of the accessory building and incorporates any requirement imposed by the Commission as a condition of approval, such as time limitations (e.g., construction of a principal building).
A. 
Limitations. Under state law, a Village may not limit the number of community living arrangements so long as the total capacity of such facilities does not exceed 25 or 1% of the Village's population, whichever is greater. When that threshold is exceeded, the Village Board may prohibit additional community living arrangements from being located in the Village. Additionally, when the capacity of community living arrangements in a ward reaches 25 or 1% of the population, whichever is greater, the Village Board may prohibit additional community living arrangements from being located in the ward. A foster home or a foster treatment home that is the primary domicile of a foster parent or foster treatment parent and that is licensed under § 48.62, Wis. Stats., and an adult family home certified under § 50.032(lm)(b), Wis. Stats., are exempt from this provision.[1]

B. 
Periodic review of existing facilities. Not less than 11 months but not more than 13 months after the first licensure of an adult family home under § 50.033, Wis. Stats., or of a community living arrangement and every year thereafter, the Village Board may make a determination pursuant to § 59.69(15)(j), Wis. Stats., as to the effect of such facility on the health, safety, or welfare of residents of the municipality. If the Village Board determines such facility poses a threat to the health, safety, or welfare of the residents of the municipality, the Village Board may order such facility to cease operation or obtain a conditional use permit to continue operation. Such facility shall cease operation within 90 days after date of the order, or the date of final judicial review of the order, or the date of the denial of a conditional use permit, whichever is later. The fact that an individual with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or a positive test for the presences of HIV, as defined in § 252.01(1M), Wis. Stats., antigen or nonantigenic products of HIV or an antibody to HIV resides in a community living arrangement with a capacity of eight or fewer persons may not be used under this subsection to assert or prove that the existence of the community living arrangement in the community poses a threat to the health, safety, or welfare of the residents of the Village.[2]
