A-1 Agricultural District image/svg+xml

This district is intended to provide for the continuation of general farming and related uses in those areas of the Village that are not committed to urban development. It is further the intent of this district to protect rural lands in the Village from urban development until their orderly transition into urban-oriented districts is required.

A-2 Agricultural District image/svg+xml

This district is intended to provide for, maintain, preserve and enhance agricultural lands historically utilized for crop production but which are not included within the A-1 Agricultural District and which are generally best suited for smaller farm units, including truck farming, horse farming, hobby farming, orchards and other similar agriculture-related farming activities.

B-1 Neighborhood Business image/svg+xml

This district is intended to provide for individual or small groups of retail and customer service retail establishments in a "shopping center" setting. This type of district is generally separated from the traditional "central business district," but near residential development and includes such amenities as increased open space and ample off-street parking and loading areas and architectural or landscape screening from adjacent nonbusiness uses, making such retail centers more compatible with the character of adjacent residential districts.

B-2 Community Business image/svg+xml

This district is intended to provide for individual or large groups of retail and customer service retail establishments in a "shopping center" setting. This type of district is usually located at or near the intersections of 2 arterial streets or highways, but separated from the traditional "central business district" and designed for the convenience of weekly or monthly one-stop shopping and includes such amenities as increased open space and ample off-street parking and loading areas and architectural screening or landscaping.

B-3 General Business image/svg+xml

This district is intended to provide for the orderly continuation and revitalization of the older established "central business district" area of the Village where uses are not exclusively of one type but, rather, mixed and include retail sales shops, wholesale and warehousing outlets, and institutional, recreational and residential uses. Many of the existing businesses in this district may not meet the requirements of the B-1 or B-2 Districts. It is the intent of this district to provide minimum requirements for all new uses of land within the district and a guide for the redevelopment or revitalization of existing uses of land within the district

B-4 Professional Office image/svg+xml

This district is intended to provide for individual or limited office, professional and special service uses where the office activity would be compatible with neighborhood uses and not exhibit the intense activity of other business districts.

B-5 Highway Business image/svg+xml

This district is intended to provide for the orderly and attractive grouping at appropriate locations along principal highway routes of those businesses and customer service establishments which are logically related to and dependent upon highway traffic or which are specifically designed to serve the needs of such traffic.

EH Elderly Housing image/svg+xml

This district is intended to provide for the orderly development, management and use of land in planned communities for the older residents of the Village. It is intended that all uses of land within the EH District shall comply with the Wisconsin Fair Housing Act and the Federal Fair Housing Act as amended at the date this section is adopted and as those acts may be amended from time to time in the future. The Village Board has determined that it is a right and proper public purpose to promote the health, safety and welfare of senior citizens. The EH District is intended to allow residential development at densities not to exceed an average of 10 units per acre in the District as measured in this section and to allow limited commercial and institutional uses and "significant facilities and services specifically designed to meet the physical or social needs of older persons," as that term is defined in section 17.08(77) of this chapter. The EH District is intended to provide a planned community setting, and initial consideration of the District shall include consideration of the layout of the District and the uses proposed therein.

I Institutional image/svg+xml

This district is intended to be applied to existing areas of the Village which are under public or quasi-public ownership and where the use for public purpose is anticipated to be permanent. In the future, public or quasi-public uses shall be granted as conditional uses in appropriate zoning districts.

M-1 Limited Industrial image/svg+xml

This district is intended to provide for warehousing, manufacturing or fabrication operations which, on the basis of physical and operational characteristics, would not be detrimental to the immediate surrounding area or to the Village as a whole by reason of smoke, odor, noise, dust, flash, traffic, physical appearance, or other similar factors; and to establish such regulatory controls as will reasonably insure compatibility with the surrounding area in this respect. All uses in this District must meet the State of Wisconsin industrial standards.

M-2 General Industrial image/svg+xml

This district is intended to provide for the same type of manufacturing and fabricating operations and uses as in the M-1 Industrial District plus more intensive uses. However, these operations and uses shall be provided in those areas where the relationships to surrounding land use would create fewer problems of compatibility. The M-2 Industrial District also permits those activities generally perceived as being of a nuisance nature or considered to be hazardous. All uses in this District must meet State of Wisconsin industrial standards as well as performance standards set forth in section 17.47 of this chapter. Such districts should not normally abut directly upon residential or commercial districts.

M-3 Special Use Industrial image/svg+xml

This district is intended to allow for flexibility in the design of large, single-user, manufacturing or fabricating operations consisting of one such manufacturing or fabricating facility per lot in a manner which would not be detrimental to the surrounding area or to the Village as a whole.

M-4 Mineral Extraction image/svg+xml

The M-4 District is intended to provide for the orderly continuation or restoration of existing quarries or other extractive and related operations and to provide for the location in appropriate places of new extractive operations that provide maximum protection to the natural environment. This District further provides for the restoration of quarries in a manner that will not deteriorate the natural environment.
