STAFF MEMO
Meeting Date: July 16, 2026
Agenda Item: Item #4
To: Brian Heckendorf, Village President
Village of Jackson Plan Commission
Jen Heidtke, Village Administrator
From: Collin Johnson, Director of Inspections & Zoning
Subject: Ordinance #26-08 – To Rezone Parcel V3_053300D from Planned Unit
Development (PUD) to R-6 Mixed Residential District - Richard Knabe
Background and Analysis:
The developer, Richard Knabe, is proposing to construct four, two-family dwellings on the 1.7-acre parcel. The
development is located just east of the Oaks of Jackson subdivision and will consist of four, two-family homes
on a singular lot. The homes will be accessed by a private road extending south of Spruce Street. The
development has a proposed density of 4.7 dwelling units per net acre.
Each of the units will feature two bedrooms. The left side units will also contain two on-suite bathrooms and a
separate half bath. Right side units will feature two bedrooms with a Jack and Jill style bathroom along with a
separate half bath. Laundry areas and attached, two car garages are also planned for each unit.
The roughly 230-foot-long private roadway will be 24 feet wide with 24” curb and gutter and 5-foot-wide
sidewalks connecting to Spruce Street provided on each side. Afire hydrant is planned for the south end of the
private road.
Proposed landscaping includes a mix of spruce and maple trees flanking the north entrance of the property
with additional plantings located along the east property line. Individual unit landscaping includes a variety of
foundational plantings consistent with typical residential landscaping.
Comprehensive Plan & Zoning Impacts:
A previous amendment to the Village’s 2050 Comprehensive Plan Map in May of this year reclassified the land
from General Commercial to Medium-Density Residential. The proposed development and zoning designation
are similar to nearby developments consisting primarily of one and two-family homes.
The requested rezoning to R-6 Mixed Residential District is the final step in the development approval process.
The development standards for the R-6 Mixed Residential District are outlined below for your reference.
Sec. 48-142. R-6 Mixed Residential District.
(a) Generally. The R-6 Mixed Residential District is intended to provide for one and two-family
residential development at densities not to exceed 7.2 dwelling units per net acre, served by municipal
sewer and water facilities.
(b) Permitted uses. Two-family dwellings, a complex of two or more two-family dwellings on a lot,
twin-home dwellings, and single-family dwellings.

home offices as specified in section 48-1.
(d) Conditional uses. Conditional uses include group homes, foster homes, and halfway houses
provided that there shall be a minimum lot area of 1,500 square feet per person (upon ultimate
development) and a minimum principal building area of 200 square feet per person.
(e) Lot area and width. Except for twin-home lots, all lots shall be a minimum of 6,000 square feet in
area for each dwelling unit and shall not be less than 85 feet in width at the setback line. Twin-home
lots shall be a minimum of 4,500 square feet in area for each dwelling unit and shall not be less than 40
feet in width at the setback line.
(f) Building height and area. No principal building or parts of a principal building shall exceed 35 feet in
height. No accessory building shall exceed 15 feet in height. The total minimum floor area of a one-
bedroom dwelling shall be 700 square feet; the total minimum floor area of a two-bedroom dwelling
shall be 1,000 square feet.
(g) Setbacks and yards. There shall be a minimum setback of 25 feet from the right-of-way of local
streets. There shall be a 30-foot minimum setback from the right-of-way of all collector and arterial
streets. There shall be a side yard on each side of all buildings not less than 15 feet in width and a rear
yard of not less than 25 feet. Within a two-family development complex, the minimum distance
between residential buildings shall be 30

• When caulk is required, use a high-quality, non-hardening, paintable sealant meeting ASTM C920, minimum Class 25.
- Follow sealant manufacturer’s instructions for application.
• Paint all exposed surfaces, including all drip edges or where water will hang. For best results, use a high-quality 100%
acrylic exterior paint specially formulated for use on wood and engineered wood substrates; oil paint is acceptable.
- DO NOT USE stain or vinyl-based paint.
- Apply paint as soon as possible or within 180 days.
- Follow paint manufacturer’s instructions for application.
- Follow LP’s Care & Maintenance Instructions .
BRUSHED SMOOTH Accessory:
• Either flat, satin or semi-gloss coatings can be applied to brushed smooth finish accessory
products.
- Each offers different appearance & maintenance benefits.
CEDAR TEXTURE Accessory:
• For best results use semi-gloss finish.
• Touch up any damage to finish that may occur during application
• Apply touch up paint to cover scratches less than 1 inch (25 mm) in length and less
than 1/16 inch (2 mm) wide, exposed nail heads and small nicks.
• Do not apply touch up paint to spots greater than 3/4 inch (19 mm) in diameter.
• Touch up paint should be used sparingly.
- Apply touch up paint only when air, siding and paint temperature are above 50°F.
- Store touch up paint between 40°F and 100°F.
- Shake touch up paint for 90 seconds before every use.
- Do not use touch up paint if you suspect it has frozen.
- Do not apply touch up paint to wet accessory products.
- Avoid touch up painting when condensation likely to form.
- Avoid touch up painting when precipitation is possible.
• The touch up paint is air dried, while the factory applied coating is cured using ovens.
For this reason, the touch up paint will have some minor differences initially and after
time. Minimizing the use of touch up paint is the best approach to help ensure these
minor differences are less noticeable.
• Use the appropriate applicator provided in the LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Touch-Up Kit.

Subject: Zoning Code Update Project – Plan Commission meeting on July 16, 2026
Our consultant team has completed the following draft articles of the proposed zoning code for the Plan
Commission's review and discussion:
• Article 14 – Land Uses
• Article 15 – Performance Standards
• Article 17 – Engineering and Environmental Standards
• Article 19 – Site Improvements and Design Standards
• Article 21 – Parking, Loading, and Access
• Article 22 – Outdoor Lighting
• Article 24 – Nonconformities
• Article 25 – Enforcement
These articles represent the next phase of the comprehensive zoning code update and incorporate the
organizational framework and drafting conventions established in the previously reviewed articles.
Couple things to highlight:
• Performance standards in Article 15 apply to all land uses.
• Requirements for Traffic Impact Analysis in Article 17 are new.
• While the current code has some outdoor lighting standards, Article 22 has typical standards for a local
zoning code. It addresses fixture requirements, maximum lighting levels, the height for parking lot poles,
lighting curfews during overnight hours, prohibited lighting, and more.
The draft articles have been reviewed by Village staff and revised as appropriate. During the Plan Commission's
review, the Commission should identify any policy issues or provisions requiring additional discussion and provide
preliminary feedback on the draft articles. The consultant team will document the Commission's comments and
incorporate appropriate revisions before the articles are integrated into the complete draft zoning code.
At this point, there are only three articles to be drafted: Article 18 - Architectural Standards, Article 20 -
Landscaping and Buffers, and Article 23 - Signs. We hope to share one or more of these at the August PC
meeting.

ARTICLE 14
LAND USES
50-2100 Purpose
This article promotes the public health, safety, and welfare and is intended to promote a sound development
pattern by regulating the use of land in the Village.
50-2101 State and federal preemption
While the Village has broad authority to create and enforce its own zoning regulations, that authority is sometimes
limited by state and federal laws, and related court rulings, which take precedence over local regulations. In
some cases, these higher levels of government impose specific rules that municipalities must follow, or they restrict
local authority altogether—a concept known as preemption.
Certain land uses are subject to this kind of preemptive control. For example, adult entertainment businesses are
protected by the First Amendment, which limits how and where municipalities can regulate them. Group homes
and other community living arrangements are often shielded by federal fair housing laws and state statutes that
prohibit discriminatory zoning practices against people with disabilities. The placement and regulation of
telecommunication facilities, such as cell towers, are governed by the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996,
which prevents local governments from unreasonably restricting their development. Likewise, state laws prevent
municipalities from creating overly burdensome regulations on solar and wind energy systems.
In all such cases, the Village must carefully navigate the balance between achieving local planning objectives
and complying with overriding state and federal legal standards.
50-2102 Land uses
a. Permitted land uses. Land uses permitted in a base zoning district are set forth in Appendix A1. Land uses
permitted in a project-based zoning district are set forth in Appendix A2. Development standards
applicable to all listed land uses are set forth in Appendix B, including use-specific standards such as
requirements for off-street parking, bicycle parking, loading berths, and supplemental standards.
b. Land uses not listed. If a person wants to establish a land use that is not specifically listed in Appendix A1 or
A2, as applicable, they may submit an application to the Zoning Administrator if they believe the proposed
use is substantially similar to a listed use. The application will be evaluated consistent with requirements in
Division 18, Article 5. If the Zoning Administrator determines that the proposed use is indeed closely similar to
a listed use, it will be regulated in the same manner, including compliance with all applicable supplemental
standards.
Any land use that is not specifically listed and cannot reasonably be interpreted as substantially similar to a
listed use is considered prohibited. However, if someone wants to establish such a use, they may submit a
petition to amend the zoning code, following the procedures and requirements outlined in Article 5.
50-2103 Mixed uses in a building
A building may include more than one permitted land use, even if the uses are not part of a defined mixed-use
category, if each use is allowed in the base zoning district for the property. For example, a multi-tenant building
could include a restaurant, a retail shop, and a health clinic if these uses are permitted in the base zoning district.
Each use will be regulated by all applicable supplemental standards, respectively. In the case that a building
includes both a residential and a non-residential use, the supplemental standards for mixed-use residential will also
apply.
50-2104 Special provisions for specified foster homes and treatment foster homes
Foster homes that are owned, operated, or contracted for by the state of Wisconsin or a county department are
not subject to any public review process.[1] All other foster homes and treatment foster homes must comply with
this chapter.

Editorial notes:
[1] See 63 Atty. Gen. 34
50-2105 Special provisions for community living arrangements
a. Limitations. Under state law, a Village may not limit the number of community living arrangement facilities,
so long as the total capacity of such facilities does not exceed 25 or one percent 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 one percent 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 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 must
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 HIV test, as defined in § 252.01 (2M), Wis. Stats., resides
in a community living arrangement with a capacity of 8 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.[1]
Editorial notes:
[1] See § 62.23 (7)(i), Wis. Stats.
50-2106 Accessory land uses
a. Generally. An accessory building may not be constructed until the principal building is completed or is
under construction.
b. 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) or limitations on the
use of the building.
50-2107 Temporary uses
By definition, a temporary use is not permanent. This means that once a temporary use has been removed, it does
not retain any vested right to be reestablished in the future. Additionally, the Village has the authority to remove a
temporary use from the zoning code, change the locations where it is allowed, and create new supplemental
standards or modify existing ones that were previously in effect.
50-2108 Effect of overlay districts on land uses
Even if a land use is permitted in a base zoning district, an overlay district may impose additional restrictions that
further limit which land uses are allowed on a property.

- Discussion Draft (07-06-2026) -
14-3
50-2109 Map of conditional uses
The Zoning Administrator may prepare a map showing those properties that have an active conditional use
permit and amend the same from time to time.
50-2110 Nonconforming uses
A land use that was legally established but does not comply with the current requirements is considered a
nonconforming use and is therefore subject to the terms and conditions in Article 24 as applicable.

ARTICLE 15
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
50-2200 Generally
The performance standards in this article are established to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of
the public by creating an objective and equitable basis to control potentially hazardous and nuisance-like effects
of various land uses and to ensure that the community is adequately protected. These performance standards
may have the effect of limiting, restricting, and prohibiting the ways in which otherwise permissible land uses may
operate. In addition to these established standards, there may be other applicable local, state, and federal
codes and standards that also apply.
50-2201 Odors
a. Applicability. The odor control standards established in this section apply to all land uses and activities,
except where the odor is created by (1) food cooking; (2) the construction of a principal use on the subject
property; (3) the application of fertilizers; or (4) incidental traffic, parking, loading, or maintenance
operations. Public utilities and services that are otherwise allowed under this code are essential public
services and are therefore also exempt.
b. Standards. Odors detectable by a healthy observer, such as the Zoning Administrator, who is not affected
by background odors (e.g., tobacco or food), shall not be perceptible at the property boundary for more
than 15 minutes in any 24-hour period.
50-2202 Air pollution
a. Applicability. The air pollution standards established in this section apply to all land uses and activities,
except where the air pollution is created during the construction of a principal use on the subject property,
or by incidental traffic, parking, loading, or maintenance operations.
b. General standards. All land uses and activities that are subject state or federal air quality standards must
operate consistent with such permits or approvals.
c. Other standards. Dust and other types of air pollution borne by the wind from such sources as storage areas,
yards, and roads within the boundaries of any lot must be controlled by appropriate landscaping, paving,
oiling, or other acceptable means as determined by the reviewing authority.
50-2203 Fire and explosive hazards
a. Applicability. The standards for fire and explosive hazards established in this section apply to all land uses
and activities, except for the storage or use of liquefied petroleum or natural gas for normal residential or
business purposes.
b. Standards. All operations involving the storage, use, processing, or handling of flammable, combustible, or
explosive materials must comply with applicable federal, state, and local regulations, including the
adopted fire code, and shall be designed and operated to minimize the potential for ignition, rapid fire
spread, or explosion. The Zoning Administrator, in consultation with the fire department, may require
documentation demonstrating compliance with this standard and may impose reasonable conditions,
including limitations on quantities, operational practices, or site design, to ensure that potential hazards are
adequately mitigated.
50-2204 Glare and heat
a. Applicability. The standards for glare and heat established in this section apply to all land uses and
activities, except where glare is created during the construction of a principal use on the subject property,
or by incidental traffic, parking, loading, or maintenance operations.
b. Standards. (1) No direct or sky-reflected glare shall be visible at the lot line of the subject property or from
any on-site activity or process, such as combustion or welding. (2) There shall be no discernible transmission
of heat or heated air at the lot line as determined by the Zoning Administrator.

Village of Jackson Chapter 50 – Zoning
- Discussion Draft (07-06-2026) -
15-2
50-2205 Wastewater discharges
a. Applicability. The standards for wastewater discharges apply to all land uses and activities as applicable.
b. Standards. Uses and activities may not discharge pollutants, solids, grease, toxic substances, or other
materials in concentrations or quantities that interfere with the operation of the Village’s public sanitary
sewer system or violate applicable effluent limitations or water quality standards. Where required,
appropriate pretreatment facilities, grease interceptors, oil-water separators, or other control measures
must be installed and properly maintained. The Zoning Administrator, in consultation with the Public Works
Director, may require documentation demonstrating compliance with this standard and, in consultation
with the appropriate utility or regulatory agency, may impose reasonable conditions on design, operation,
or monitoring to ensure compliance with this section.
50-2206 Vibration
a. Applicability. The requirements of this section apply to all uses and activities, except those vibrations
created during the construction of the principal use on the subject property.
b. Requirements. No physical vibration emanating on a property that is above the vibration perception
threshold of an individual shall pass beyond the property line of such property, as determined by the Zoning
Administrator. Vibration perception threshold means the minimum ground- or structure-borne vibrational
motion necessary to cause a reasonable person to be aware of the vibration by such direct means as, but
not limited to, sensation by touch or visual observation of moving objects.
50-2207 Noise
a. Applicability. The requirements of this section apply to all land uses and activities that create detectable
noise, except (1) noise that is created during the construction of the principal use on the subject property;
(2) noise from incidental traffic, parking, loading/unloading, and maintenance; (3) noise from equipment
commissioning and intermittent equipment testing; and (4) noise from typical agricultural operations, if
otherwise allowed. Railroads and public utilities and services that are otherwise allowed under this code are
essential public services and are therefore exempt.
b. Requirements. Noise attributable to a land use may not exceed the levels listed below when measured at
the property boundary line.

ARTICLE 17
ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL
50-2400 Site restrictions
a. Generally. If the Zoning Administrator determines that a parcel of land, whether vacant, partially
developed, or fully developed, contains one or more development constraints that would preclude the
normal use of the parcel for a use that is otherwise permitted in the zoning district in which it is located, they
may render a written determination that states the best available facts related to the development
constraint and other reasoning as may be appropriate. Examples of development constraints include
unfavorable topography, rock formations, shallow depth to bedrock, unstable or otherwise unsuitable soils,
stormwater runoff, inadequate drainage, high groundwater, or any other constraint that is harmful to the
public health, safety, and welfare.
b. Effect. Once such a determination has been made, the Zoning Administrator, building inspector, or other
governmental official or body may not issue a development order or other approval authorizing the
development in the area subject to the development constraint.
c. Reconsideration. The Zoning Administrator may reconsider their determination at any time and render a
new determination if new or additional facts become known or if the facts upon which the determination
was made are not accurate.
d. Appeals. The property owner has the right to appeal such administrative decision consistent with the
procedures and requirements in Article 5.
50-2401 Establishment of building grades
Every building hereafter erected, structurally altered, or relocated must be at a grade approved by the Zoning
Administrator or Building Inspector.
50-2402 Groundwater separation
No principal building shall be erected, structurally altered, or relocated on land which is not adequately drained
at all times nor which is subject to periodic flooding, nor so that the lowest floor level is at least one foot above the
highest anticipated seasonal groundwater level.
50-2403 Floodplain requirements
Development authorized by this chapter must comply with the floodplain regulations in Chapter 16 of the
municipal code.
50-2404 Stormwater management
Development authorized by this chapter must comply with the stormwater management requirements in Chapter
35 of the municipal code.
50-2405 Construction site erosion control
All land-disturbing activities authorized by this chapter must comply with the erosion control requirements in
Chapter 35 of the municipal code.
50-2406 Sanitation and water supply
No principal building involving human use or occupancy shall be permitted on a lot unless provision is made and
ensured for safe and adequate facilities for water supply and disposal of sewage by means of connection to the
public water service and public sewer system as set forth in Chapter 44 of the municipal code.

50-2407 Traffic impact analysis
a. Purpose. A traffic impact analysis evaluates the adequacy of the existing transportation system to serve the
proposed development and determine the expected effects of the proposed development on the
transportation system. The traffic impact analysis must provide adequate information for Village staff to
evaluate the development proposal and to provide recommended conditions of approval in the event
approval is recommended.
b. When required. A full traffic impact analysis must be submitted if the proposed development is expected to
generate more than 500 peak-hour vehicle trips at full build-out. An abbreviated traffic impact analysis
must be submitted if the proposed development is expected to generate between 100 and 500 peak-hour
vehicle trips at full build-out.
c. Preparation. The traffic impact analysis must be prepared by a professional engineer with expertise in
transportation planning.
d. Form and content. A full or abbreviated traffic impact analysis must be prepared consistent with the most
current revision of the Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines published by the Wisconsin Department of
Transportation.

a. Intent. Vision corner triangles are established at the
intersection of existing and proposed streets,
alleys, and railroads to help ensure that motorists
are able to see pedestrians and cross traffic.
b. Dimensions for vision corner. The clear vision
triangle is formed by two lines along the right-of-
way for the distances listed in Exhibit 17-1 and a
chord connecting the end of those two lines.
c. Restriction. Buildings, vehicle parking, fences,
signage, berms, retaining walls, dense vegetation,
and any other obstructions are not allowed within
a vision corner triangle between the heights of 30
inches and 10 feet above the mean curb grades.
A flagpole, a utility pole, and a single-stem tree
(without any branches up to 10 feet), and other
similar features, as determined by the Zoning
Administrator, are not an obstruction for the
purposes of this section.
d. Exemptions. All buildings existing within the vision
triangle at the time of adoption of the ordinance
codified in this section are exempt from the
requirements of this section.
50-2409 Preservation of topography
In order to protect the property owner from possible
damage due to change in the existing grade of adjoining lands, and to aid in preserving and protecting the
natural beauty and character of the landscape, no change in the existing topography of any land shall be made
which would result in increasing any portion of the slope to a ratio greater than two horizontal to one vertical,
within 20 feet from the property line, except where retaining walls are built as allowed in this chapter or with the
written consent of the abutting property owner and with the approval of the Village Engineer, or which would
alter the existing drainage or topography in any way as to adversely affect the adjoining property. In no case
shall any slope exceed the angle of repose of the material involved, and all slopes shall be protected against
erosion.

Those land uses designated as requiring site plan review in the land-use matrix (Appendix A) must comply with the
requirements in this article along with the corresponding review procedures in Article 5.
50-2601 Legislative findings
The Village Board makes the following legislative findings regarding site design requirements:
(1) The design and layout of a site, including principal and accessory buildings, parking areas and access
drives, building service areas, docking and loading areas, and other elements, can have a substantial and
long-lasting effect on the utility of the subject property and on surrounding properties and the overall
character of the Village.
(2) The standards in this article, along with those in related articles, are intended to offer clear and practical
guidance to property owners, design professionals, and public officials.
(3) The standards in this article are intended to promote the public health, safety, and welfare and are
reasonably related to the public purpose of achieving an attractive, functional, and prosperous
community.
50-2602 Minimum design standards
Development subject to review under this article must adhere to the following design principles along with other
requirements that may apply:
(1) The location and orientation of all buildings must meet the individual lot size, width, setback and yard
requirements set forth in the applicable zoning district regulations.
(2) Buildings and other improvements must
be arranged on a site and in a
configuration that does not impede
traffic accessibility and circulation
to/from adjacent streets and adjoining
sites developed with similar
nonresidential uses.
(3) Buildings must be arranged to reduce
visibility of service areas from public
streets, customer parking areas, and
adjacent properties.
(4) Service yards and facilities, including
storage areas (if permitted) and
docking and loading facilities, must be easily accessible by service vehicles, separated from the primary
parking access and circulation functions, centrally located to serve multiple establishments and tenants (if
any), designed to prevent backing up onto the public right-of-way, and integrated into the overall design
of the buildings and landscaping features so the visual and acoustic impacts of these functions are
located out of view from public streets and adjacent agricultural and residential-zoned areas through the
use of thoughtful site layouts, architectural extensions of buildings, walls, fences, landscaping features and
plantings, or a combination thereof.
(5) Buildings and other improvements should be located to take advantage of a site's natural topography
and drainage, existing vegetation and other natural features. Modifications to such features may be
permitted when required for safety purposes, or, where modification contributes to and further visual
appearance, function, and utility of the site.
(6) A building must be arranged on the site so as to not impede traffic accessibility and circulation to or from
adjacent streets and adjoining sites.

ARTICLE 21
PARKING, LOADING AND ACCESS
50-2800 Legislative findings
The Village Board makes the following legislative findings:
(1) The design of parking areas and site access is critically important to the economic viability of
commercial areas, pedestrian and driver safety, the efficient and safe operation of adjoining streets,
and community image and livability.
(2) Standards are needed to establish the minimum and maximum number of parking spaces that are
needed to serve various land uses.
(3) Excessively large parking lots increase the cost of development, create an unhealthy built environment,
contribute to the heat island effect associated with urban areas, and decrease the infiltration of storm
water into the ground.
(4) Shared parking can reduce parking facility costs (including aesthetic and environmental impacts),
allow greater flexibility in facility location and site design, and encourage more efficient land use.
(5) Parking lots and their access represent a vital connection between the local transportation network and
land uses.
(6) Incorrectly designed parking lots and site access can have negative impacts on the site, the adjacent
and nearby public roadways, and the image of the business community.
50-2801 Purpose
This article promotes the public health, safety, and general welfare and is intended to:
(1) Increase the safety and capacity of public streets by requiring off-street parking and off-street loading
facilities.
(2) Minimize adverse effects of off-street parking and off-street loading facilities on adjacent properties and
surrounding neighborhoods.
(3) Lessen congestion and prevent the overtaxing of public roads by regulating the location and capacity
of off-street parking and off-street loading facilities.
(4) Maintain and enhance a safe and efficient transportation system.
(5) Minimize the occurrences of motor vehicles backing into public roads.
(6) Minimize impervious surfaces.
50-2802 General design principles
Parking areas, loading berths, driveways, and access must be designed based on the following principles:
(1) Provide continuous flow of traffic through the parking area.
(2) Allow safe movement of pedestrians from parking areas to buildings.
(3) Avoid conflicts between vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic. Pedestrian circulation takes
precedence over vehicular circulation.
(4) Ensure that site facilities and amenities are accessible to people with disabilities as required by this
article and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
(5) Allow for appropriate landscaping of parking areas without conflicting with outdoor lighting.
(6) Ensure that emergency service vehicles are able to travel through parking areas, including fire trucks.
(7) Minimize impervious surfaces.
(8) Allow for the logical expansion of parking areas to accommodate different land uses or an expansion
of an existing use.

Village of Jackson Chapter 50 – Zoning
- Discussion Draft (07-06-2026) -
21-2
(9) Allow for efficient clearing and storage of snow.
(10) Ensure that the stormwater generated on the site is accommodated consistent with Village
requirements.
(11) Queuing of vehicles must be designed to prevent stacking of vehicles onto a public right-of-way.
(12) Ingress and egress of parking spaces must occur on private property and not cross into the public right
of way (sidewalks or streets) to gain access to parking spaces.
50-2803 General applicability
The requirements and standards for off-street parking apply to new site development, an expansion or
modification of an existing parking area, and a change in use, subject to the standards below.
(1) When an existing building, structure, or use of land changes to a new use, additional on-site parking
spaces must be constructed if the new use requires a minimum amount of on-site parking spaces more
than already exists on the subject property.
(2) When a building or structure is expanded, additional parking spaces must be constructed if the
expansion requires a minimum amount of on-site parking spaces more than already exists on the
subject property.
(3) When a building or structure was erected prior to _______, 2026, additional minimum parking spaces or
loading facilities are mandatory only in the amount by which the requirements of the new use or
occupancy exceed those for the existing or prior use or occupancy.
(4) When site constraints and/or other standards of this chapter do not allow proper space to provide for
the minimum amount of required on-site parking spaces for a change in use of a building, structure, or
land as stated above, the Plan Commission may, in its discretion, grant a special exception to the
requirement of constructing additional parking spaces. The applicant requesting a change in use must
demonstrate how site constraints and/or other standards of this chapter do not allow construction of
additional on-site parking spaces, and must provide justification that there are sufficient off-site parking
spaces available for overflow parking, such as street parking or shared parking on neighboring or
nearby properties.
50-2804 General standards for off-street parking areas
a. Proximity of parking to principal use. Parking spaces must be located on the same lot with the principal use,
except when shared parking is allowed.
b. Use of parking spaces. Off-street parking areas for non-
residential uses must be for occupants, employees,
visitors, and patrons. The storage of merchandise,
supplies, motor vehicles for sale, or the repair of vehicles
in a parking area is prohibited, unless otherwise allowed
in this chapter. In addition, overnight camping (e.g.,
RVs) in a parking area is prohibited.
c. Surfacing. An off-street parking area (i.e., spaces and
aisles) must be hard surfaced with concrete, asphalt,
pavers, or other durable, all-weather pavement material
approved by the Zoning Administrator.
d. Curb. An off-street parking area with 20 or more parking
spaces must be constructed with a concrete curb
surrounding the vehicle use areas (both driveways and
parking areas). If an existing parking lot is expanded
and does not have a curb, the Zoning Administrator
may waive this requirement in whole or in part. Gaps in
the curbing may occur to facilitate property parking lot drainage.
e. Marking of parking spaces. Parking spaces must be clearly marked if there are more than 5 parking spaces.
Exhibit 21-1. Green infrastructure next to a parking lot
Page 62 of 81
Village of Jackson Chapter 50 – Zoning
- Discussion Draft (07-06-2026) -
21-3
f. Drainage. An off-street parking area must be properly graded for drainage consistent with standards
adopted by the Village, and as approved by the Village Engineer.
g. Snow storage. Required parking spaces and access aisles may not be used for snow storage. Areas used for
snow storage must be clearly depicted on the approved site plan if snow will be stored on site.
h. Features within clear vision triangle. All features and improvements within a clear vision triangle must be
consistent with the standards in § 50-___.
i. Landscaping. Landscaping for an off-street parking area must be provided consistent with the requirements
in Article 20.
j. Screening. An off-street parking area adjacent to a residential area with 4 or more parking spaces must
provide screening as described in Article 21.
k. Outdoor lighting. Outdoor lighting within a parking area must be provided consistent with the requirements
in Article 22.
l. Signage. Signage related to off-street parking and on-site traffic circulation must comply with the
requirements in Article 23.
50-2805 Placement on a lot
a. Generally. Parking areas may be located in any yard provided applicable pavement setback requirements
are met.
b. Restriction in some zoning districts. The number of parking spaces located in the front yard may be
restricted in some zoning districts as more specifically set forth in Appendix C.
50-2806 Timing
a. Typical installation. Parking spaces and aisles, and curb and gutter, if required, must be installed before the
granting of occupancy for the use or uses for which the vehicle use areas are provided. If weather
conditions during the late fall to early spring seasons do not allow installation of the permanent surface and
curb and gutter, the Building Inspector may grant temporary occupancy, provided a solid surface of gravel
is provided and the property owner and Village enter into a written agreement, with a financial guarantee,
that requires completion no later than June 1 or as specified in the agreement.
b. Deferred installation. If the developer believes the number of required parking spaces is more than what is
actually needed, the developer has the ability to defer construction of no more than 10 percent of the
required spaces, provided the site plan shows the area reserved for such parking spaces and the Plan
Commission agrees to the deferment.
50-2807 Number of parking spaces
a. Minimum number of spaces. Off-street parking spaces must be provided in the number specified in
Appendix B, except as follows:
(1) When bicycle parking is provided consistent with this article, bicycle parking spaces may be used to
satisfy the number of required parking spaces up to a maximum of 4 percent provided the number of
required parking spaces is 25 or more. For example, if the parking standards as applied to a project
call for 100 vehicle parking spaces, no more than 4 bicycle parking spaces may be substituted (96
vehicle parking spaces and 4 bicycle parking spaces).
(2) When motorcycle parking is provided consistent with this article, motorcycle parking spaces may be
used to satisfy the required parking spaces up to a maximum of 4 percent provided the number of
required parking spaces is 25 or more.
b. Reduction. If the developer believes that the number of required parking spaces is more than what is
actually needed, the developer can provide documentary evidence to the Plan Commission and the
commission can modify the number of required parking spaces based on such information, but not more
than a 40 percent reduction. If approved, an area on the property must be held in reserve for the potential
future development of paved off-street parking to meet the full requirements. This reserved area must be
shown and noted on the site plan, maintained as open space, and developed with paved off-street
Page 63 of 81
Village of Jackson Chapter 50 – Zoning
- Discussion Draft (07-06-2026) -
21-4
parking spaces when the Zoning Administrator determines that such off-street parking is necessary due to
parking demand on the property which exceeds original expectations. The Zoning Administrator may
require the property owner to provide a financial guarantee as set forth in Article 4 in the amount of 125
percent of the anticipated cost of installing the required number of parking spaces.
c. Maximum number of spaces. For land uses located in a business base zoning district, the number of parking
spaces provided in a ground surface parking lot may not exceed the number of minimum parking spaces
by more than 15 percent, except that the Plan Commission may allow more parking spaces above that
threshold as a special exception pursuant to the procedures and requirements in Article 5 provided the
commission determines that additional spaces are needed for that particular use or location. There is no
maximum limit on the number of parking spaces when located in a parking garage or similar structure.
d. Mixed-use requirements. For mixed uses, the total requirements for off-street parking spaces is the sum of
the requirements for the various land uses. Off-street parking facilities for one use may not be considered as
providing parking facilities for any other use except when considered shared parking as allowed in this
article.
e. Compact cars and motorcycles. Up to 10 percent of the required number of parking spaces may be sized
for compact cars and/or motorcycles. Such parking spaces must be designated by a sign or other means
approved by the Zoning Administrator.
50-2808 Shared parking
Generally. The Zoning Administrator, in their discretion, may allow shared parking consistent with this section
during the site plan review process provided the applicant clearly shows the timeframe for peak parking demand
varies between the different land uses that are subject to the shared parking arrangement. By way of example,
Exhibit 21-2 shows different land uses that could potentially share parking spaces.
a. Maximum. The maximum amount of required parking spaces that can be shared is 50 percent of the lesser
number of required spaces. For example, if the first land use requires 100 parking spaces and the second
land use requires 50 spaces, the maximum number of shared spaces is 25.
b. Minimum requirements. Shared parking must meet the standards listed below.
(3) The area of the parking lot that is designated for shared use, must be located on an adjoining parcel
and within 500 feet of the building or use requiring the parking.
(4) Directional signage is provided where appropriate and allowed.
(5) Pedestrian routes are direct, clear, and safe.
c. Shared-use agreement. The parties involved in the joint use of off-street parking facilities must document
their agreement by a legal instrument approved by the Village Attorney as to form and content. Such
instrument, when approved as conforming to the provisions of this part, must be recorded in the Register of
Deeds office for Washington County, and a copy filed with the Zoning Administrator.

50-2810 Accessible parking spaces
a. Generally. Accessible parking spaces must be provided subject to this part; the Americans with Disability
Act (ADA), as may be amended; and the ADA Standards for Accessible Design 28 CFR 36, revised as of July
1, 1994 as may be amended. In the event state and federal regulations are more controlling than the
requirements in this section, the state and federal regulations control.
b. Number required. If parking spaces are required, then accessible spaces must be provided in the required
number of regular spaces in the quantity shown in Table 21-1. One of 8 accessible parking spaces, but
always at least one, must be van-accessible.
c. Location. Accessible spaces serving a particular building must be
located on the shortest accessible route of travel between the parking
and the accessible entrance. When there are multiple entrances to a
building of similar prominence (e.g., shopping mall) with near-by
parking, accessible spaces must be dispersed and provided at each
location. In parking facilities that do not serve a particular building,
accessible parking must be located on the shortest accessible route of
travel to an accessible pedestrian entrance of the parking facility.
d. Dimensions. Accessible parking spaces must be at least 96 inches
wide.
e. Vertical clearance. For van-accessible parking spaces, a 98-inch high
clearance must be maintained above the space, access aisle, and on
the route to and from the van-accessible space.
f. Maximum slope. Accessible spaces and adjoining access aisles must
have a maximum slope of 1:50 in all directions. When accessible

50-2814 Bicycle parking
a. Legislative findings. The Village Board makes the
following findings with regard to bicycle parking:
(1) The provision of bicycle parking recognizes
cycling as a transportation mode that is growing
in popularity.
(2) Designated bicycle parking areas help keep
sidewalks clear for pedestrians and prevents
damage to trees and street furniture often used to
secure bicycles when racks are not present.
(3) Properly designed bicycle parking areas enhance
security and visibility, helping to prevent theft and
vandalism of parked bicycles.
(4) The provision of bicycle parking allows property
owners to install fewer vehicle parking spaces, an
important cost savings.
b. Generally. Bicycle parking may be provided consistent with the standards in Appendix B.
c. Location. Bicycle parking must be located in visible and prominent locations near the building entrance
and must be as close or closer to the entrance than the nearest parking space. Under no circumstance
should bicycle parking be more than
100 feet from the building entrance.
Where there is more than one
building on a site, or where a building
has more than one main entrance,
the parking must be distributed to
serve all buildings or main entrances.
If possible, racks should be protected
from the elements by a roof, awning,
overhang, or similar covering. Racks
must not be placed so they block the
entrance or inhibit pedestrian flow in
or out of the building.
d. Design. Bicycle parking areas should
be incorporated into the overall
building design, parking lot layout,
and pedestrian circulation and
coordinated with street furniture
(e.g., benches, street lights, planters)
when it is part of the overall project.
e. Accessibility. Each bicycle parking
space must be accessible without moving another bicycle. In most circumstances, a space 2 feet by 6 feet
is adequate. When needed, an aisle at least 5 feet wide must be provided (Exhibit 21-9) .
f. Lighting. Bicycle parking spaces must have adequate lighting to promote security and avoid vandalism
and theft.
g. Rack design. Bicycle parking may be provided in ground, wall, or ceiling mounted racks. Ground-mounted
racks should meet the following requirements:
(1) The rack holds the bicycle frame, not just a wheel.
(2) A U-shaped shackle lock can be used to secure the bicycle to the rack.
(3) The rack is designed to accommodate a wide range of bicycle sizes, wheel sizes, and types.
(4) The rack is covered with material that will not chip the paint off of a bicycle that leans against it.
(5) The rack does not have hazards, such as sharp edges.

(6) The rack is securely fastened to the ground, a wall, or other solid surface.
50-2815 Drive-throughs and stacking lanes
a. Generally. If allowed, a drive-through must meet the standards in this section and all other provisions that
may apply.
b. Overall design. Stacking spaces, access lanes, and bypass lanes may not impede on- and off-street traffic
movement or create hazards for pedestrians accessing public entrances of a building.
c. Number of stacking spaces. The minimum number of required stacking spaces, when allowed, is specified
for various land uses in Appendix B.
d. Standards for stacking spaces. Stacking spaces must have a minimum depth of 20 feet.
e. Standards for access lanes. Access lanes and stacking spaces must have a minimum width of 12 feet (curb
to curb).
f. Standards for bypass lanes. Any drive-through that has more than a total of 4 stacking spaces, must include
a bypass lane with a minimum width of 10 feet (curb to curb).
g. Markings required. Access lanes and bypass lanes must be striped, marked, or otherwise distinctly
delineated.
h. Crosswalks. A pedestrian crosswalk must be marked on the pavement when the lane for a drive-through
window is situated between on-site parking and a building entrance.
50-2816 Loading berths
a. Applicability. Off-street loading berths are required
when so indicated in Appendix B.
b. Dimensional standards. A loading berth must comply
with the dimensional standards in Table 21-2. The
minimum vertical clearance also applies to all areas
providing access to the loading berth.
c. Location. A loading berth must not be located on the
front of the building, except when entirely located
inside of the building and the access door is integrated
into the overall design of the building. A loading berth
must not be located within a required side yard setback
area. A loading berth must not be located within a
public road right-of-way or interfere with the intended
use of a public road right-of-way. A loading berth or
access to a loading berth must not interfere with onsite
traffic or pedestrian circulation or on-site parking.
d. Surfacing. A loading berth must be hard surfaced (e.g.,
concrete, asphaltic concrete, pavers, or similar
product). If it is not possible to hard surface a loading
berth between November 1 and April 1, the Building
Inspector may issue an occupancy permit provided the
property owner and Zoning Administrator enter into a
written agreement that requires completion no later
than June 1.
e. Marking. A loading berth must be clearly marked.
f. Use. A loading berth must only be used for loading and
unloading of vehicles.
g. Drainage. A loading berth must be properly graded for drainage consistent with standards adopted by the
Village, and as approved by the Village Engineer.
h. Outdoor lighting. Outdoor lighting for a loading berth must comply with the requirements in Article 22.

i. Screening. The Plan Commission may require screening (e.g., landscaping, berm, fence, or any
combination) when the use of the loading berth has the potential of negatively impacting adjoining
residential uses.
50-2817 Turning radius
In addition to all of the specific design requirements described in this article, loading berths, driveways, and
access aisles must be designed to accommodate the Village’s largest fire truck as determined by the Fire
Department.
50-2818 Access gate
a. Setback. The gate must be at least 28 feet from the
edge of the road, but no closer than 8 feet to the front
lot line. The gate, in any position, may not be any closer
than 8 feet to any lot line.
b. Width of gate. The width of the gate must be at least 12
feet but not more than 24 feet.
c.
d. Emergency access. The gate must include a Knox Box or
an emergency override system as approved by the fire
department.
e. Nighttime visibility. The gate must include reflective strips
or signage for nighttime visibility. Outdoor lighting may
also be used for this purpose.
f. Power. If a gated access drive includes an electrically powered gate there must be a supplemental power
supply to ensure operation of the gate during a loss of power or other emergency situation.
50-2819 Cross-access connection
a. Findings. A cross-access connection between two adjoining properties uses can improve traffic flow, safety,
and land use efficiency as more fully described below.
(1) By allowing vehicles to move between properties without re-entering public roads, cross-access
connections help decrease congestion on major streets.
(2) Fewer vehicles making left turns or entering/exiting from multiple driveways reduces the potential for
crashes.
(3) Fire trucks, ambulances, and police will have multiple access routes to respond more quickly to
emergencies.
(4) Businesses can potentially share parking lots, reducing the need for excessive pavement and
improving land efficiency.
(5) Shoppers can easily access multiple businesses without having to make multiple stops onto a busy
street.
(6) Cross-access connections can facilitate pedestrian and bicycle access between properties,
encouraging multimodal transportation.
b. Applicability. A cross-access connection should be pursued between adjoining properties when (1) both of
the properties allow commercial and mixed-uses, (2) both of the properties are located along a collector or
arterial street, and (3) the Zoning Administrator determines it is feasible to make the connection.
c. Easement. The adjoining properties must be subject to a cross-access easement agreement which is
recorded in the register of deeds office for Washington County.

bottom of the flare, unless otherwise approved by the Village Board.
c. Separation from certain uses. Vehicular entrances and exits to drive-in banks, motels, funeral homes,
vehicular sales, service, washing and repair stations, garages, or public parking lots shall be not less than
200 feet from any pedestrian entrances or exit to a school, college, university, church, hospital, park,
playground, library, public emergency shelter, or other place of public assembly.
d. Driveway setbacks. A driveway must be at least 3 feet from a side lot line and a rear lot line. This setback
standard does apply to townhomes and a shared driveway. If an existing driveway is located closer than 3
feet, it may be reconstructed in the same location.

NONCONFORMITIES
50-3100 Legislative findings
The Village Board makes the following legislative findings relating to nonconformities:
(1) There may be existing lots, structures, uses, and signs in the Village that were lawfully established but that do
not now comply with one or more provisions of the zoning district in which they are located.
(2) It is not the intent of this chapter to perpetuate and/or encourage the long-term continuance of
nonconformities because they are inconsistent with the requirements and character of the zoning districts
involved, or to permit nonconformities to be enlarged, expanded, or extended except as allowed in this
division.
(3) State law permits the reconstruction of nonconforming structures under certain circumstances.
50-3101 Official registry of nonconformities
a. Content of registry. The Zoning Administrator may develop and maintain a registry of (1) lots known by him
or her to be considered nonconforming, (2) buildings known by him or her to be considered
nonconforming, and (3) land uses known by him or her to be considered nonconforming and those which
have registered as a nonconforming use consistent with the requirements in Article 5.
b. Form of registry. At the discretion of the Zoning Administrator, the registry may consist of either a written list
or digital records.
c. Disclaimer. Given the nature of the registry, the Village does not warrant that such information is complete
and/or accurate in all respects.
50-3102 Nonconforming lots
a. Generally. Any existing lot within a single-family zoning district which does not meet the minimum lot size
requirements of the zoning district may be used as a single family building site provided (1) the use is
permitted in the district regulations, (2) the lot was a separate and distinct lot of record prior to ____, 2026,
(3) the residence is constructed without violating the yard requirements, and (4) the floor area requirements
are met.
b. Alteration of property boundary lines. The location of a property boundary line of a nonconforming lot may
not be modified by any means, except to make the lot less nonconforming.
c. Survey gaps. A gap between surveyed lots does not constitute a nonconforming lot.
50-3103 Nonconforming buildings
a. Generally. A legal nonconforming building may be used for any conforming use.
b. Enlargement. A nonconforming building that is used for a conforming use may be enlarged provided the
building addition complies with all requirements and the Plan Commission authorizes the enlargement
pursuant to the requirements in Article 5.
c. Building addition within setback If a building is nonconforming due only to setbacks, it may be expanded
within the building setbacks provided (1) the established nonconforming setback line is not less than 50
percent of the required setback; (2) the addition does not extend beyond the established nonconforming
setback line; and (3) the addition is no greater than the area of the existing building.

the repair, maintenance, renovation, or remodeling of a nonconforming building.
g. Reconstruction following damage. A nonconforming building that is damaged by violent wind, vandalism,
fire, flood, ice, snow, mold, or infestation on or after March 2, 2006, may be restored to its condition (e.g.,
size, location, and use) prior to the damage, except the building may be larger when necessary to comply
with state or federal requirements.[1]
h. Relocation. A nonconforming building may not be moved or relocated to any other location on the lot
unless the building is made to conform to all regulations of the zoning district in which it is located.

50-3104 Nonconforming uses
a. Generally. A legal nonconforming use may continue to exist so long as it remains otherwise lawful, subject
to the provisions in this section.
b. Cessation of use. If a nonconforming use ceases for any reason, whether intentional or otherwise, for more
than 365 consecutive calendar days, from the date specified by the Zoning Administrator, the use may not
thereafter be reestablished.[1] Exempt from this section are single- and two-family residential structures used
for residential purposes. When a business operation is of a seasonal nature (e.g., marinas, summer camps),
the periods when the business is not normally active are excluded from the time period mentioned above.
If the Zoning Administrator determines that a nonconforming use has ceased to operate for more than the
aforementioned time period, they are authorized to initiate the process established under Article 5 to
terminate the nonconforming use. However, if a temporary structure houses a nonconforming use, the use
must terminate when the temporary structure is removed.
c. Change in extent. Except as allowed in this subsection, a nonconforming use may not be enlarged,
increased, or expanded and may not occupy a greater area than what existed on the effective date of
this chapter or any amendment thereto that created the nonconforming use. A single-family dwelling and
a two-family dwelling unit which is a nonconforming use may be enlarged one time up to a total of 150
square feet of gross floor area.
d. Limitation on structural alterations to building housing nonconforming use. Structural alterations to a building
housing a nonconforming use may not exceed, on an accumulative percentage basis, 50 percent of the
equalized assessed value of the structure.[2] For example, if a property owner makes structural alterations,
the cost of which equals 40 percent of the current equalized assessed value of the building, any additional
structural alterations are limited to 10 percent of the equalized assessed value at the time of the work.
e. Damage to structure housing nonconforming use. Except as allowed in this subsection, a building housing a
nonconforming use that is damaged beyond 50 percent of its present equalized assessed value, the
nonconforming use may not be reestablished. However, the owner of any one- or two-family dwelling unit
which was used exclusively for residential use on June 15, 1981, which has been continuously used for
residential use since June 15, 1981, up to the date of the casualty referred to hereafter, and which has
continuously been located in a business or industrial zoning district since June 15, 1981, shall, in the event of
destruction of the residence by fire or other casualty in an amount greater than 50 percent of assessed
value, be allowed reconstruct the residence on the lot where originally located. The size and number of
units of the reconstructed residence may not be greater than the size and number of units of the original
residence. The burden of proof of establishing continuous residential use, size and number of units shall be
on the landowner. If reconstruction does not start within 12 months following the casualty, and continue in
good faith to completion, any subsequent reconstruction and use of the building, structure or premises must
conform to the regulations of the district in which the building is located.
f. Change of location. A nonconforming use may not be moved in whole or in part to any other part of the lot
or to another structure than what was occupied on the effective date of this chapter or any amendment
thereto that created the nonconforming use.
g. Casual, occasional, accessory, or incidental use. Casual, occasional, accessory, or incidental use after the
primary nonconforming use has terminated, does not perpetuate a nonconforming use.[3]

h. Change of production. A change in the method or quantity of production and the incorporation of new
technology into a nonconforming use is permitted provided the original character of the use remains the
same.[4]
i. Termination due to effects on public health, safety, and welfare. If the Zoning Administrator determines that
a nonconforming use, regardless of its duration, is harmful to the public health, safety, or welfare, they
should follow the procedure outlined in Article 5 relating to termination of a use.[5]
j. Unsafe conditions. Nothing in this chapter prevents the strengthening or restoring to a safe condition of any
structure or part thereof, provided the work conforms to the provisions in this chapter.
k. Licensing. The operator of a nonconforming use must obtain any licenses required by the state of Wisconsin,
or its designated agent; Washington County; or the Village and maintain the licenses for the life of the use
or until the entity no longer requires the license.
l. Conversion to another nonconforming use. Subject to the requirements in Article 5, a nonconforming use
may be converted to a different nonconforming use provided the new use is less nonconforming. Any
nonconforming use that has been converted continues to be subject to all applicable provisions related to
nonconforming uses and to the conversion order as approved by the Plan Commission.
m. Permissible accessory residential uses. If an existing single-family dwelling unit is classified as a
nonconforming use, the establishment of accessory residential uses normally incidental to a single-family
dwelling is not considered to be an expansion of a nonconforming use and is permitted provided the
accessory use is otherwise allowed by the zoning code and in the case of a detached building does not
exceed 576 square feet.
n. Multiple residences on a single lot. An existing residential lot with more than one principal structure built
prior to August 15, 2011 may be divided to accommodate the placing of the existing principal buildings
onto separate lots or, the reduction of existing buildings to one-to-a-parcel, if, in the judgment of the Plan
Commission, the resulting lots or parcels or the resulting zoning is not detrimental to the neighborhood nor to
the spirit and intent of this code, and, further, taking into account the need to continue conformity to
zoning district classification regulations, if possible.
