CON Conservancy Overlay District. The Conservancy District is established as an overlay district to preserve and perpetuate in an open state certain areas such as lowland swamps, marshes and wetlands, floodplains and stream beds, slopes, bluffs, wooded areas and other areas of aesthetic value which, because of their unique physical features, are deemed desirable to be retained for the benefit of this and future generations. The regulations of the Conservancy District are intended not only to preserve and perpetuate open space land and water areas consistent with the intent and purpose of this chapter, but also to protect the community and the Town from costs and consequences which may be incurred when unsuitable development occurs in such areas. For the purposes of this chapter, the Conservancy District shall include all mapped floodways, delineated wetlands, a fifty-foot wetland buffer, navigable stream buffers consistent with the Outagamie County Shoreland Protection Ordinance, and all wooded lands over five acres in size.
A. 
Intent. This overlay is intended to encourage quality and desirable development by allowing for greater flexibility and design freedom than permitted under other zoning district regulations. These regulations are established to permit and encourage mixed-use; create diversification, variation and imagination in the layout of development; to encourage the preservation of open space; and to encourage more rational, economic development with respect to the provision of public services.
B. 
Definition. "Mixed-use" shall be defined as a development practice blending two or more land uses either within a single building (vertical mixed-use) or multiple buildings/uses across a single parcel, a street/block or entire neighborhood (horizontal mixed-use) and is considered pedestrian-friendly and walkable when at a street/block or neighborhood level and incorporates common neighborhood design principals.
