[Amended 10-4-2006 by Ord. No. 2006-11]
The development and execution of this article are based upon the division of the Town of Cedarburg into districts, within which districts the use of land, buildings, bulk zoning requirements and location of buildings and structures in relation to the land are mutually compatible and substantially uniform. However, there are certain uses which, because of their unique characteristics, cannot be properly classified as unrestricted permitted uses in any particular district or districts without consideration. Any nonpermitted use may be listed as a conditional use within a given zoning classification.
A. 
Town Board may authorize. The Town Board may, by resolution, authorize the Building Inspector to issue a conditional use permit for either regular or limited conditional use after review, public hearing and advisory recommendation from the Plan Commission, provided that such conditional use and involved structure(s) are found to be in accordance with the purpose and intent of this Zoning Code and are further found to be not hazardous, harmful, offensive or otherwise adverse to the environment or the value of the neighborhood or the community. In the instance of the granting of limited conditional use, the Town Board in its findings shall further specify the delimiting reason(s) or factors which resulted in issuing limited rather than regular conditional use. Such Board resolution, and the resulting conditional use permit, when for limited conditional use, shall specify the period of time for which the specific limited conditional use permit is effective. Prior to the granting of a conditional use, the Plan Commission shall review standards as prescribed in § 320-51 of this article to ensure said standards herein prescribed are being complied with.
[Amended 10-4-2006 by Ord. No. 2006-11]
B. 
Review by highway agency. Any development within 500 feet of an existing or proposed state or county trunk highway right-of-way and within 1/2 mile of an existing or proposed interchange or turning lane shall be specifically reviewed by the highway agency that has jurisdiction over the trafficway. The Plan Commission shall request such review and await the highway agency's recommendation for a period not to exceed 20 days before taking final action.
[Amended 10-4-2006 by Ord. No. 2006-11]
C. 
Conditions may be required. Conditions such as landscaping, architectural design, type of construction, construction commencement and completion dates, sureties, lighting, fencing, planting screens, signs, operation control, hours of operation, improved traffic circulation, deed restrictions, highway access restrictions, increased yards or parking requirements may be required by the Town Board upon its finding that these are necessary to fulfill the purpose and intent of this chapter.
[Amended 10-4-2006 by Ord. No. 2006-11]
D. 
Compliance with other provisions required. Compliance with all other provisions of this chapter, such as lot width and area, yards, height, parking, loading, traffic, highway access and performance standards, shall be required of all conditional uses.
Any person, firm, corporation or organization having a freehold interest or a possessory interest entitled to exclusive possession, or a contractual interest which may become a freehold interest, or an exclusive possessory interest, and which is specifically enforceable in the land for which a conditional use is sought, may file an application to use such land for one or more of the conditional uses provided for in this article in the zoning district in which such land is located.

Approval. The Town Board, upon recommendation of the Plan Commission, may authorize the Building Inspector to issue a conditional use permit for conditional uses after review by the Town Plan Commission, provided that such conditional uses and structures are in accordance with the purpose and intent of this chapter and are found to be not hazardous, harmful, offensive or otherwise adverse to the environment or the value of the neighborhood or the community. A notification of each conditional use permit granted in the A-2 Prime Agricultural District shall be transmitted to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP).

Upon written complaint by any citizen or official and after seeking an advisory recommendation from the Plan Commission, the Town Board shall initially determine whether said complaint indicates a reasonable probability that the subject conditional use is in violation of either one or more of the standards set forth in § 320-51 above, a condition of approval or other requirement imposed hereunder. Upon concluding a potential violation of a conditional use permit has occurred, a hearing shall be held upon notice as provided in § 320-50. Any person may appear at such hearing and testify in person or be represented by an agent or attorney. The Town Board may, in order to bring the subject conditional use into compliance with the standards set forth in § 320-51 or conditions previously imposed by the Town Board, modify existing conditions upon such use and impose additional reasonable conditions upon the subject conditional use. In the event that no reasonable modification of such conditional use can be made in order to assure that § 320-51A(1) and (2) will be met, the Town Board may revoke the subject conditional approval and direct the Town Administrator and the Town Attorney to seek elimination of the subject use. Following any such hearing, the decision of the Town Board shall be furnished to the current owner of the conditional use in writing stating the reasons therefor.

Purpose and intent. The purpose and intent of permitting as a conditional use the construction and/or occupancy of a second dwelling unit is to allow, when all applicable standards have been met, a detached building designed for and occupied by the family of the owner-occupied primary dwelling unit to promote and preserve the family in single-family residential or quasi-residential zoning districts of A-1, A-2, CR-A, CR-B and E-1 in the Town of Cedarburg. The rental, lease, or separate sale of any such second dwelling unit is prohibited in order to protect the single-family residential nature and character of the district in which it is located.

A second dwelling unit shall have sleeping areas and a bathroom, with or without kitchen facilities, as specified in the permit. A second dwelling unit may be permitted as a conditional use, if it is occupied by the family of the owner-occupied primary dwelling unit and all such persons are occupying the same as a single, nonprofit housekeeping unit, who are living together as a bona fide stable and committed living unit, being a traditional family or the functional equivalent thereof, exhibiting the generic character of a traditional family. A second dwelling unit may not be rented, leased or sold separately from the primary dwelling unit on the lot. The owner of a lot containing a primary dwelling unit and a second dwelling unit must live in either the primary dwelling or in the second dwelling unit in order for the conditional use permit to be valid.
(3) 
Permits. A conditional use permit must be obtained before a building and/or occupancy permit may be issued for any second dwelling unit. When a conditional use permit has been issued for a second dwelling unit, the owner of the lot shall be responsible for payment of impact fees as required in § 184-16.

All second dwelling units shall be designed and built consistent with the building type, architectural style, and color of the primary dwelling unit, and the appearance of the second dwelling unit shall be that of a site-built, single-family dwelling unit.
(m) 
In the event these standards or the applicable terms of a conditional use permit are violated, including, but not limited to, if one of the dwellings is not owner-occupied for any period longer than 30 days, then the owner shall be required to have the Town Building Inspector verify within 10 days of any such violation date that one of the two dwellings has had its water supply line and sewer lateral disconnected, and that it is no longer occupied as a dwelling unit. Such conditions of the property shall remain until such time the Town Building Inspector has verified, in writing, that the violation has been cured and a new occupancy and/or building permit has been issued for such dwelling unit.
(5) 
Covenants and restrictions. Prior to the issuance of any building, occupancy, or conditional use permit for a second dwelling unit, the lot owner shall record against the deed to the subject property, restrictive covenants that shall run with the land, in a form approved by the Town Attorney, in favor of and for the benefit of the Town of Cedarburg, which shall indicate that the occupancy and/or use of the second dwelling unit is subject to and regulated by the Town of Cedarburg Code of Ordinances.
