Legal Description:
PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED FOR CONDITIONAL USE AND REZONE
CONDITIONAL USE: Following acceptance of a complete application, the Village Clerk shall schedule a public hearing before the Plan
Commission (or Extraterritorial Zoning Committee for land in the ETZ Area) to be held within 45 days after acceptance of a complete
application. Notice of the time, place, and purpose of such hearing shall be given by publication as a Class 2 Notice in conformance
Permit No. :
5500 Schofield Ave
Weston, WI 54476
with the requirements of Wis. Stat. § 62.23(7)(d). The Village Clerk shall also send said notice to the applicant, owners of record of all
lands within 300 feet of the boundaries of the subject property, and the clerk of any municipality whose boundaries are within 1,000
feet of any portion of the jurisdiction of this Chapter at least ten days prior to the date of such public hearing. Failure to mail said
notice or failure to meet the time requirements herein, provided it is unintentional, shall not invalidate proceedings under this Section.
REZONE: The Plan Commission (or Extraterritorial Zoning Committee) shall hold a public hearing on all proposed amendments to the
Official Zoning Map. Following the public hearing, and after consideration of comments provided therein, the Plan Commission or
Committee shall review the proposed amendment to the Official Zoning Map and shall within 45 days of the public hearing make a
recommendation to the Village Board that the application be granted as requested, modified, or denied. If the Commission or
Committee fails to make a recommendation within this timeframe, the proposed amendment shall be forwarded to the Village Board
without recommendation. Such deadline may be extended by written or electronic agreement from the applicant. Nothing in this
Chapter requires Town Plan Commission or Town Board action on proposed amendments to the Official Zoning Map in the ETZ Area.
CONDITIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Maps showing the current location and current zoning and future land use of all lands for which the conditional use permit is proposed,
the location and current zoning of all lands within 300 feet, and the jurisdiction(s) within the subject property lies (Village of Weston
or Town of Weston) will be provided by Village Staff.
A written description of the proposed conditional use describing the type of activities, buildings, and structures proposed for the
subject property and their general locations is required to be attached to this application.
Has the written description and location been attached?
Yes No
Written justification is required for the proposed conditional use consisting of the reasons why the applicant believes the proposed
conditional use is appropriate, particularly as evidenced by compliance with the approval criteria set forth below.
Has the written justification been attached?
Yes No
Does the Conditional Use Permit involve exterior building or site improvements?
Yes No
If yes to the above stated question, then a separate site plan application must be filed concurrently with this application. Failing to
include a site plan application will deem the status of this application as incomplete.
Comparison of Proposed Conditional Use with Required Review Criteria (complete below or on an attached sheet as needed):
1.
Is the proposed conditional use (the use in general, independent of its location) in harmony with the purposes, goals, objectives,
policies and standards of the Village of Weston
Comprehensive Plan; zoning ordinance; and any other plan, program or
ordinance adopted or under consideration? Explain how, or why not. (Consult with Zoning Administrator as necessary on
applicable plans.)
2.
Will the proposed conditional use in this location, result in a substantial or undue adverse impact on nearby property, the
character of the neighborhood, the natural environment, traffic, parking, public improvements, public property or rights-of-
way, or other matters affecting the public health, safety, or general welfare, either as they now exist or as they may in the
future be developed? Explain how, or why not.
3.
Will the proposed conditional use maintain the desired consistency of land uses, land use intensities, and land use impacts as
related to the environments of the subject property? How?
4.
Is the proposed conditional use located in an area that will be adequately served by, and will not impose an undue burden on,
any of the improvements, facilities, utilities or services provided by public agencies serving the subject property? Explain how
this has been evaluated.
5.
What are the public benefits of this proposal? Do the potential public benefits of the proposed conditional use outweigh
potential adverse impacts of the proposed conditional use?
Issuance and Recording of Permit. Within 30 days following the granting of a conditional use permit, the Zoning Administrator shall
issue to the applicant a written conditional use permit enumerating the details of the conditional use permit, including what land
use(s) and/or development was approved and any conditions of approval. The Zoning Administrator shall record the conditional use
permit against the property, assigning all costs thereof to the applicant, and shall make record of the conditional use permit on the
Official Zoning Map.
Effect of Denial. No conditional use permit application that has been denied (either wholly or in part) shall be resubmitted for a period
of 12 months from the date of said order of denial, except on grounds of new evidence or proof of change of factors found valid by
the Zoning Administrator.
Termination of an Approved Conditional Use. Once a conditional use permit is granted, no erosion control permit, site plan approval,
certificate of occupancy, zoning permit, or building permit shall be issued for any development that does not comply with all
requirements of the conditional use permit and this Chapter. Any conditional use found not to be in compliance with the terms of this
Chapter or the approved conditional use permit shall be considered in violation of this Chapter and shall be subject to all applicable
procedures and penalties. A conditional use permit may be revoked for such a violation by the Plan Commission, following the
procedures outlined for original granting of a conditional use permit.
Time Limits on the Development of Conditional Use. The start of construction of any and all conditional uses shall be initiated within
365 days of approval of the associated conditional use permit and shall be operational within 730 days of said approval. Failure to
initiate development within this period shall automatically constitute a revocation of the conditional use permit. For the purposes of
this Section, “operational” shall be defined as occupancy of the conditional use. Prior to such a revocation, the applicant may request
an extension of this period. Said request shall require formal approval by the Plan Commission (or Extraterritorial Zoning Committee
for land in the ETZ Area) and shall be based upon a showing of acceptable justification.
Discontinuing an Approved Conditional Use. Any and all conditional uses that have been discontinued for a period exceeding 365
days shall have their conditional use permit automatically invalidated. The burden of proof shall be on the property owner to
conclusively demonstrate that the conditional use was operational during this period.
Change of Ownership. All requirements of the approved conditional use permit shall be continued regardless of ownership of the
subject property and shall run with the land, except as otherwise limited by this Chapter or by a specific condition attached to the
conditional use permit. Modification, alteration, or expansion of any conditional use in violation of the approved conditional use
permit, without approval by the Plan Commission (or Extraterritorial Zoning Committee), shall be considered a violation of this Chapter
and shall be grounds for revocation of said conditional use permit.
Uses Now Regulated as Conditional Uses That Were Legal Land Uses (Permitted-by-Right or as Conditional Uses) Prior to the
Effective Date of This Chapter. A use now regulated as a conditional use that was a legal land use--either permitted-by-right or as a
conditional use--prior to March 18, 2015 shall be considered as a legal, conforming land use so long as any previously approved
conditions of use and site plan are followed. Any substantial modification of such use or any previously approved condition of such
use, in the determination of the Zoning Administrator, shall require application and Village consideration of a new conditional use
permit under this Section.
REZONE REQUIREMENTS
Maps showing the current location and current zoning and future land use of all lands for which the conditional use permit is proposed,
the location and current zoning of all lands within 300 feet, and the jurisdiction(s) within the subject property lies (Village of Weston
or Town of Weston) will be provided by Village Staff.
Written justification is required for the proposed rezone consisting of the reasons why the applicant believes the proposed conditional
use is appropriate, particularly as evidenced by compliance with the approval criteria set forth below.
Has the written justification been attached?
Yes No
Does the rezone involves exterior building or site improvements?
Yes No
If yes to the above stated question, then a separate site plan application must be filed concurrently with this application. Failing to
include a site plan application will deem the status of this application as incomplete. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed and
shall be discarded within 30-days if the application status remains incomplete. Any fees collected will not be refunded.
Comparison of Proposed Rezone with Required Review Criteria (complete below or on an attached sheet as needed):
1.
Is the proposed rezoning consistent with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan? Explain how, or why not.
2.
Does the proposed rezoning further the purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance, as expressed in Section 94.1.03 of the
Village’s zoning ordinance? Explain how, or why not.
3.
Does the proposed rezoning address a mistake that was made in mapping on the Village’s zoning map? In other words, is the
subject property developed in a way that is not allowed under its current zoning? If yes, please explain.
4.
Does the proposed rezoning address factors that have changed that make the property more appropriate for a different zoning
district? Such factors may include the availability of new data, the presence of new roads or other infrastructure, additional
development, annexation, new plans, or other zoning changes in the area. If yes, please indicate the relevant factors.
5.
Have growth patterns or rates changed since the land was zoned as it is now? If yes, please provide supporting data and
indicate how changed patterns or rates suggest the need for this rezoning.
6.
Will the proposed rezoning maintain a desired consistency of land uses, land use intensities, and land use impacts as related to
the environs of the subject property? How?
Village Board. The Zoning Administrator shall schedule the proposed amendment for potential Village Board action. After careful
consideration of all comments, the Village Board shall within 120 days of submittal of a complete application, act to approve or reject
the proposed amendment, unless extended by written or electronic agreement of the applicant. Failure of the Board to act within 120
days of submittal of a complete application (unless said deadline is extended by agreement of the applicant) shall constitute approval
of the application as presented.
The Village Board may approve an amendment by a simple majority of a voting quorum, except that if the Board action is opposed to
or alters a recommendation of the Plan Commission (or Extraterritorial Zoning Committee for land in the ETZ Area), and/or an official
protest against the requested amendment to the Official Zoning Map meeting the requirements of Wis. Stat. § 62.23(7)(d)2m.a is filed,
then approval of the amendment to the Official Zoning Map shall require an affirmative vote from three-fourths or greater of the full
Village Board.
Effect of Denial. No application that has been denied (either wholly or in part) shall be resubmitted for a period of 12 months from
the date of said order of denial, except on grounds of new evidence or proof of change of factors found valid by the Zoning
Administrator.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT REQUIREMENTS
By August 1st of each year, the Zoning Administrator shall obtain Plan Commission approval of a Comprehensive Plan amendment
schedule, with the intent to adopt any Comprehensive Plan amendments in that annual amendment cycle by February of the following
year.
Applications for Comprehensive Plan amendments shall be submitted to the Zoning Administrator in writing each year by the annual
application deadline established in the approved amendment schedule, using a Village provided application form, in order to be
considered in that year’s amendment cycle. Only complete applications will be processed.
In addition to such applications, Village staff, the Village Plan Commission or any member thereof, or the Village Board or any member
thereof may request amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, by the annual application dateline or another date if established in the
approved amendment schedule.
The Zoning Administrator shall refer all proposed amendments under subsections (a) and (b) to the Plan Commission, within 30 days
following the latest required date of submittal.
The Commission shall advise Village staff as to which proposed amendments should be considered for further review, providing an
opportunity for public comment. Depending upon the number and nature of the proposed amendments, the Commission may hold a
public hearing before it decides which proposed amendments should be recommended for consideration. Notice of such hearing shall
be given by publication of a Class 1 Notice. In the case of a site-specific Future Land Use map amendment, the Zoning Administrator
shall also provide written notification to all property owners within 100 feet of the site.
After consideration of the proposed amendments and no later than January in the annual amendment cycle, the Plan Commission
shall recommend the approval of any proposed amendment to the Village Board. The Commission is under no obligation to
recommend approval of any requested amendment, and may recommend the amendment with modification. Such Commission action
shall be via adoption of a resolution.
Following the Commission recommendation by resolution, and after a required 30 day public hearing notice period under Wisconsin
Statutes, the Village Board shall hold a public hearing for the purpose of receiving public comment regarding the merits of the proposed
amendments that have been recommended by resolution of the Plan Commission.
Following the public hearing, the Village Board may adopt all or some of the recommended Comprehensive Plan amendments by
ordinance, either as recommended or with modifications.
