and harmony and thereby provide most satisfyingly for the well being and contentment of
its inhabitants as well as for greater economic stability through preservation and
enhancement of propeliy values, it is deemed necessary to exercise regulation over the
architectural appearance and construction of buildings erected, remodeled or in any way
placed within the City. Such regulations are herein known as Building, Site, and
Operation (BSO) Plans.
The Building Site and Operation Plan is not intended to impose a pattern of regimented
conformity to any specific architectural style or taste established by the governing body,
a review board, or the existing residents of any area; but is intended solely to prevent
any development which would substantially affect adversely the existing or potential
beauty and character of the neighborhood, reduce its desirability, and depreciate
surrounding property values.
4.02 BSO EXEMPTIONS: ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEWS

such lot is located.
5.06 RESIDENTIAL DENSITY
(1) PURPOSE OF CONTROL
The regulatory techniques controlling the distribution of population throughout the
community are intended to achieve the desired environmental character as set
forth in the General Plan and to achieve a practical economical and functional
relationship between the residential use of land and its consequent impact upon
traffic circulation, sewage disposal, school facilities, and other service demands.
(2) METHOD OF CONTROL
In single-family detached development the density is established by the minimum
required lot SiZI3. In single family attached, or multiple family development, no
minimum lot size is established; but the allowabl13 density is established by a
required ratio of lot area to each dwelling unit. In planned residential
development projects the density is established by a special factor giving the
number of dwelling units permitted per acre based on the underlying zoning.
.
(3) HOW COMPUTED
The determination of the number of allowable dwelling units on a given property
being developed with single family attached or multiple family units shall be made
a follows:
A. Single Family' Attached and Multip1e Family - by dividing the net area of
the parcel to be so developed by the number of square feet required per
dwelling unit.
Planned DevE~lopment Projects - by applying the percentage factor to the
gross area of the project as hereinafter set "forth in this Code on the basis
of the underlying zoning.
B.
5.07 OPEN SPACE
(1) MINIMUM REQUIF.ED
No building shall bE! erected, structurally altered or relocated on a lot so as to
reduce the usable open area of such lot to less than that hereinafter specified by

(1) STATEMENT OF INTENT
This district is intended to provide for two-family residential development of single
family homes of the attached "row" type in groupings compatible to the character of
surrounding uses, and/or duplexes which are attractively designed and arranged on
the site with appropriate development of the common grounds in terms of amenities
and landscaping, a.nd in areas intended or not intended to be served by municipal
sewer.
This district is newly created as a result of the zoning code modifications in 2006. A
few residential parcels existed with the City's old OD Duplex Overlay District and the
City has now combined those parcels into the ERM-1 zoning district. It is the City's
intention to allow the continuation of existing duplex/multi-family uses via the ERM-1
District, although it is not the intention of the City to rezone areas to the ERM-1
District. Any proposed rezonings allowing multi-family uses should follow the RM
zoning districts and the City shall review those proposed rezonings as how they will
affect the surrounding character of the neighborhood.

(1) STATEMENT OF INTENT
This District is intendE~d to encourage mixed-use, compact development that is
sensitive to the environmental characteristics of the land and facilitates the efficient
use of services. The District diversifies and integrates land uses within close
proximity to each other, and it provides for the daily retail and customer service
needs of the residents.
The District is designe,d to promote the development of land as a traditional
neighborhood undH urban conventions that were the norm in the United States until
the 1940's, characterizE~d by the following design elements: neighborhoods that are
limited in size and oriented toward pedestrian activity; a variety of housing types,
jobs, shopping, services, and public facilities; residences, shops, workplaces, and
civic buildings intørwoven within the neighborhood, all within close proximity;
compatibility of buildings and other improvements as determined by their
arrangement, bulk, form, character, and landscaping to establish a livable,
harmonious, and diverse environment; private buildings that form a consistent,
distinct edge and clefinE:~ the border between the public street space and the private
block interior; and architHcture and landscape that respond to the unique character of
the region.
The District is not intended for stand-alone parcels but for a larger grouping of
parcels that together promote the characteristics abovE!. The Tess Corners area and
Pioneer Drive area are examples of a good use of the Historic Crossroads District.

8.38 DR-1 DOWNTOVVN REVIVAL DISTRICT
(1) STATEMENT OF INTENT
This District is intended for the properties found along Janesville Road in Muskego's
Downtown from Bay Lane Drive to Racine Avenue. The District was created to allow
the revival and redevelopment of these propertiÐs in order to create new
opportunities for thH parcel owners. The parcels in this area have or may be affected
by future improvements along Janesville Road and it is the City of Muskego's
objective to have a zoning district that allows property owners to have usability of
their property in order to assure that the core of Muske!Jo's downtown is revived.
This District is intl3nded to encourage mixed-use, compact development that is
sensitive to the environmental characteristics of the land and facilitates the efficient
use of services. The District diversifies and integrates land uses within close
proximity to each other" and it provides for the daily retail and customer service
needs of the residents.
The District is desiøned to encourage pedestrian-frienclly designs, which respect and
accommodate the community's dependency on the automobile. Higher standards of
design with a renewed emphasis on community image and the cost~effective
provision of public services are promoted. Widely accepted development and
planning principles suggest that new development should help the downtown and
City compete in an increasingly competitive and quality-conscious real estate
environment, and provide alternative housing and shopping opportunities in close
proximity.
Design standards should closely follow those found in the City's adopted Downtown
Design Guide. The Downtown Design Guide is characterized by the following design
elements: Traditional town center/modern 'main~street'; Buildings squarely facing the
street; Buildings closer to street; Pedestrian scale - walk able, accented storefronts;
Variable roof-lines; Transitional massing blending with surrounding architecture;
Se~se of place/downtown identity; Destination and convenience retail; Shared
parking; Convenience.
The District is intended for both stand-alone parcels and larger grouping of parcels
as long as the objHctivE:~ is to promote the characteristics above. Commercial uses
are encouraged from Bay Lane Drive to Pioneer DI'ive and residential uses are
encouraged from PionE!er Drive to Racine Avenue as per the direction of the
Muskego Comprehensive Plan. Rezoning requests for parcels that do not meet the
intent of this zonin!J district should follow existing residential and commercial zoning
districts.
136
.- * This District does not promote new parcels of this size, but allows parcels to be conforming if they meet
these guidelines. Newly created parcels in this district should meet the size requirements of the B-2
Zoning District for commercial uses (Minimum Parcel Area = 20,000 SF; Minimum Parcel Width = 100
feet) and the size requirements of the RS-3 Zoning District for residlential uses (Minimum Parcel Area =
15,000 SF; Minimum Parcel Width = 100 feet).

PURPOSE AND INTENT
This district is intended to allow for greater freedom, imagination, and flexibility in
the development of land while insuring substantial compliance to the intent of the
normal district regulations of this ordinance. To this intent it allows diversification
and variation in the relationship of uses, structures, open spaces, and heights of
structures in developments conceived, and planned as comprehensive and
cohesive unified projects. It is further intended to encourage more rational and
economic developmEmt with relationship to public services, and to encourage the
preservation of open land.
Permitted: The unified and planned development of a site, in single or corporate
ownership at the time of development, may be permitted in a CPO Conservation
Planned Development Overlay District, without the customary division into
individual lots, or without specific compliance to the district regulations as
applicable to individual lots, subject to the regulations as hereinafter provided in
this Section.

I. PERMITTED USES BY CONDITIONAL GRANT
1. Any conditional use permitted in the underlying basic district.
2. Any LIse permitted by right in any district.
3. Any accessory use permitted in any district.
(3) Application of Regulations:
A. Uses and Structures. In addition to the uses permitted in the underlying
district any other use may be permitted as hereinafter designated above
consistent with the criteria established in thÐ basis for approval below.
Individual USE~S and structures in a Planned Development Project District
need nct comply with the specific building location, height, building size,
lot size, and open space requirements of the underlying basic district
provided that the spirit and intent of such re!quirements are complied with
in the total development plan for such project consistent with the criteria
as establishe;,d in the basis for approval below.
Applicable Underlying Zoning Districts. The PO Planned Development
Overlay District may be applied to all zoning districts.
Densitv: For specific project density computation, the allowable maximum
unit density shall be determined by dividing the gross area of the planned
development (Exclusive of existing public right-of-way or public open
space easement) by the square feet per family as required by the district
intended. In the case of mixed-use devE,lopments, a separate density
calculation shall be computed for each defined use in the development
(Ex. On an eO-acre planned development, 40 acres is intended for RM-1
uses and 40 acres are intended for RS-1 uses; the density computations
would be run separately as follows: 1,742,400 square feet / 5,000.square
feet per unit for RM-1 and 1,742,400 square feet /30,000 square feet per
unit for HS-1).
Densitv Bor~lJs: The total allowable maximum density in a planned
developmen1: may increase no more than 10% above the amount of units
calculated in Section 9.02(3)0 above upon recommendation of the Plan
Commission that the increased density is justified in terms of the
relationship to open areas, service demand, and the total quality and
character of the project. 'n no case, however, shall the provisions of
Section 9.04 be waived.

Common Council s~lall cause a public hearing to be held pursuant to Section 2 of
this Ordinance.
(3)
(4) Where a proposed development includes uses permitted only as conditional
grants pursuant to Section 14, compliance with the procedural and general
"
requirements set forth as the basis for approval under this section shall supplant
the requirement for separate processing of a petition for conditional use grant
pursuant to Section '14.
At the time the PD planned unit development is presented to the City Plan
Commission for final approval, the developer shall pay to the City the costs
incurred by the City for planning and engineering fees, including but not limited to

(5)
9.04 BASIS FOR APPROVAL
(1 ) Basis for Approval: The Plan Commission in making its recommendations and
the Common Council in making its determination shall give consideration and
satisfy themselves as to the following:
A. That the proponents of the proposed development have demonstrated
that they intend to start construction within a reasonable period following
the approval of the project and requested overlay of the PO District, that
the project appears economically sound, that adequate financing is

.
possible, and that the development will be carried out according to a
reasonable construction schedule satisfactory to the City.
That thE! proposed development is consistEmt in all respects to the spirit
and intent ojl this Ordinance, is in conformity with the general plans for
community development, would not be contrary to the general welfare
and economic prosperity of the City or of the immediate neighborhood,
that the specific development plans have been prepared with competent
professional advice and guidance, and that the benefits and improved
design of thE! resultant development justifies the variation from the normal
requirements of this Ordinance through the application of the PO Planned
Developmenlt Overlay District.
In the case of proposed residential developments:
1. That such development will create an attractive residential
Ðnvironment of sustained desirability and economic stability,
compatible with the character established for the area by the
community Comprehensive Plan, and where the economic impact
of the development in terms of income levels, property values, and
service demands is at least as beneficial to the community as that
which could be anticipated under the, base zoning.
The population composition of the development will not alter
adversely the impact upon school or other municipal service
requilrements as anticipated under the existing basic zoning and
Comprehensive Plan.
That the project will not create traffic or parking demand
incompatible with that anticipated under the Comprehensive Plan.
That the total average residential density of the project will be
compatible with the Comprehensive Plan, except as may be
rnodi1'ied by this Section.
That 1the aggregate open space 01 the development will be no
II~ss, than would have resulted from the applicafion of open space
requili",ements of the underlying districts.
That adequate guarantee is providÐd for permanent retention as
"open space area" of the residual open land area resulting from
the application of these regulations, either by private reservation
for the use of the residents within the development or by
dedication to the public.
.
In thtE! case of an PO Planned Development District, private
preservation of the open space area shall be guaranteed and shall
be protected against building and development by conveying to
the municipality as Section of the conditions for project approval
an open space easement over such open areas restricting the
area against any future building or use except as is consistent with
that of providing landscaped open space for the esthetic and
recreational benefit of the surrouncling residences. Buildings or
uses for non-commercial recreational or cultural purposes
compatible with the open-space obj'ective may be permitted only

where specifically authorized as Section of the project plan or
subsequently with the express approval of the Common Council
following approval of building, site and operational plans by the
Plan Commission.
The care and maintenance of such open space reservations shall
be insured either by establishment of appropriate management
organization for the project or by agreement with the municipality
for establishment of a special service district for the project area
where the municipality shall provide the necessary maintenance
service and levy the cost thereof as special assessment on the tax
bills of properties within the projøct area. In any case the
Common Council shall have the right to carry out and levy an
assessment for the cost of any maintenance, which it feels
necessary if it is not otherwise taken care of to the satisfaction of
the Common Council. The manner of assuring maintenance and
assessing such cost to individual properties shall be determined
prior to the approval of the final projE!ct plans and shall be included
in the title to each property.
Ownership and tax liability of private open space reservation shall
be established in a manner acceptable to the municipality and
made a Section of the conditions of the plan approval.
In the case of proposed PD Planned Development Overlays for
commercial developments:

parking and truck service facilities.
3. That thE~ locations for entrances and exits have been designed to prevent
unnecessary interference with the safe and efficient movement of traffic
on surrounding streets, and that the development will not create an effect
upon the general traffic pattern of the area incompatible with that
anticipated under the Comprehensive Plan.
4. That thE! architectural design, landscaping, control of lighting, and general
site development will result in an attractive and harmonious service area
compatible v.rith and not creating an effect upon the property values of the
surrounding neighborhood incompatible whit that anticipated under the
Comprehensive Plan
E. In the case of PD Planned Development Overlays for mixed use
developments:
1. That the proposed mixture of uses produces a unified composite which is
compatible within itself and which as a total developmental entity is

3. The allowable maximum residential density may be computed by dividing
the gross an:Ja of the planned development by the square feet per family
as required by the district intended (This is inclusive of the area of the
other proposed uses in the development)(Ex. PD on 12 acres of land with
8 acres for multi-family residential and 4 acres for commercial still equals
approximately 104 units (12 acres / 5,000 square feet per unit) upon
recommendation of the Plan Commission that the increased density is
justified in türms of the relationship to the denser area, the commercial
area, open éureas, service demand, and the total quality and character of
the project.
4. The total allowable maximum density may increase no more than 10%
above the amount of units calculated abovE~ upon recommendation of the
Plan Commission that the increased density is justified in terms of the
relationship to open areas, service demand, and the total quality and
charactm of the project.
(2) Determination:
A. The Common Council after due consideration may deny the petition,
approve the petition as submitted or approve the petition subject to
additional conditions.

by overlay of the PD District shall be based on and include as conditions
thereto the Building, Site and Operational (BSO) Plans for the
development as well as all other commitments offered or required with
regard to project value, character or other factor pertinent to assuring that
the project will be developed basically as presented in the official
submittal plans as approved by the Common Council and shall be
mapped and recorded as provided for conditional uses under Section 14
of this Ordinance. Such plans, however, need not necessarily be
completely detailed at the time of Overlay zoning provided they are of
sufficient detail to satisfy the Plan Commission and Common Council as
to the genoral character, scope, and appearance of the proposed
development, Such preliminary plan shall at least designate the pattern
of- proposecll streets, the basic pattern of larid use, the size and
arrangement of lots, and illustrate a "typical" example of the development
proposed. The approval of such preliminary plan shall be conditioned
upon thl3 subsequent submittal and approval of more specific and detailed
plans as the development progresses.
Any subsequent change or addition to the plans or use shall first be
submitted for approval to the Common Council and if in the opinion of the
Common Council upon recommendation of the Plan Commission such
change or addition constitutes a substantial alteration of the original plan,
a public hearing before the Common Council shall be required and notice
thereof <;liven pursuant to Section 2 of this Ordinance.
The provisions of Section 14 governing termination of the conditional
grant shall apply to such group project development.

. 9.07 PD-1 PARK.LAND
(1 ) The Parkland Planned Development consists of approximately 55 acres
containing 117 singlla-family parcels and 6 outlots. The development is made of
three plats, Parkland No's 1, 2, and 3 Subdivisions all generally located NW 1Jt of
Section 10 and the SW 1Jt of Section 3 west of Lannon Drive. The Parkland No.
1 development consists of 45 single-family parcels and two outlots, the Parkland
NO.2 development consists of 43 single-family parcels and three outlots, and the
Parkland NO.3 development consists of 29 single-family parcels and one outlot.
All developments were constructed in one phase each and are serviced by City
sewer and water. The six total outlots for the development are for open space
preservation and stormwater management.
.
The planned development was originally created as Section of a larger planned
development known as Parkland Plaza. The original planned development
reserved future planned development areas as RS-2/PD Suburban Residence
District with a Planned Development Overlay District and B-4/PD Highway
Business District with a Planned Development Overlay District. The majority of
the commercial portion of the original Parkland Plaza PD was dissolved as the

PD also changed a few of the requirements of the underlying zoning including
having front setbacks be reduced to 25 feet, side offsets reduced to 6 and 8 feet
and rear offsets be ;;2:0 feet (In the case a parcel has multiple street setbacks the
setback on one street corner can be 15 feet with thl9 rear offsets being 8 feet and

The Kristin Downs Planned Development consists of approximately 49 acres
containing 83 single-family parcels and 4 outlots. The development is generally
located south of Janesville Road and east of Pioneer Drive. The development
was constructed in one phase and is serviced by City sewer and water. The 4
outlots are rE!served for open space preservation including stormwater
management areas, well house areas, and subdivision recreation areas including
tennis courts and a pool.
The planned development was originally created under the zoning of RS-3/PD
Suburban Residence District with a Planned Development Overlay District. The
Planned Development zoning was put in place to allow the developer's to use the
reduced lot square footages and widths on a few of the lots while preserving the
required density of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The PD also changed a few
of the requirements of the underlying zoning including having front setbacks be
reduced to 30 feet (:25 feet in the case of multiple street setbacks on one side),
side offsets reduced to 10 feet and rear offsets incmased to 30 feet.
The 2010 Comprehensive Plan depicts the area for single-family residential
development consistent with the Kristin Downs proposal.

Estates (60 parcels} and Woodland Creek Estates Addition #1 (16 parcels)) and
is serviced by City sewer and water.
Outlots within tile development are reserved for stormwater management, open
space preservation, and a sewer utility station. The main outlot in the Woodland
Creek Estates Addition #1 phase was dedicated to the City to be part of the
Engel Conservation lands found adjacent to thÐ site. The developers also
reserved an easement for public access to the conservation site.
The planned development was originally created under the zoning of RS-2/PD
Suburban ResidencH District with a Planned Development Overlay District. The
Planned Development zoning was put in place to allow the developer's to use
reduced lot sizÐs to a minimum of 18,000 square fHet and 100 feet in width. The
PO also changed a few of the requirements of the underlying zoning including
having front setbacks be 35 feet and side offsets be 10 feet on one side and 15
feet on all other sides.
A Subdivider's AgreHment and Letter of Credit were approved with the Final Plat
for the development by the City's Common Council outlining the individual
guarantees.

desirability of the proposed zoning change, the suitability of the building, site and
development plans, and any additional conditions which it may feel necessary or
appropriate.
Public Hearing: Upon receipt of the Plan Commission's recommendations the
Common Council shall cause a public hearing to be held pursuant to Section 2 of
this Ordinance.
Where a proposed development includes uses permitted only as conditional
grants pursuant to Section 14, compliance with the procedural and general
requirements set forth as the basis for approval under this section shall supplant
the requirement for separate processing of a petition for conditional use grant
pursuant to Section "14.
At the time thE! CPD planned unit development is presented to the City Plan
Commission for final approval, the developer shall pay to the City the costs
incurred by the City for planning and engineering fees, including but not limited to

BASIS FOR APPROVAL
Basis for Approval: The Plan Commission in making its recommendations and
the Common Council in making its determination shall give consideration and
satisfy themselves 815 to the following:
A. That the proponents of the proposed development have demonstrated
that they intend to start construction within a reasonable period following
the approval of the project and requested overlay of the CPO District, that
the project appears economically sound, that adequate financing is
possible, and that the development will be carried out according to a
reasonable construction schedule satisfactory to the City.
That thE! proposed development is consistent in all respects to the spirit
and inte.nt 0'1' this Ordinance, is in conformity with the general plans for
community development, would not be contrary to the general welfare
and economic prosperity of the City or of the immediate neighborhood,
that the specific development plans have. been prepared with competent
professional advice and guidance, and that the benefits and improved
design of the resultant development justifies the variation .from the normal
requirements of this Ordinance through the application of the CPO
Conservation Planned Development Overlay District..
That such development will create an attractive residential environment of
sustaine,d cløsirability and economic stability, compatible with the
charactm established for the area by the community Comprehensive
Plan, and where the economic impact of the development in terms of
income levels, property values, and service demands is at least as
beneficial to the community as that which could be anticipated under the
base zoning.
The population composition of the development will not alter adversely
the impact upon school or other municipal service requirements as
anticipated under the existing basic zoning and Comprehensive Plan.

That the project will not create traffic or parking demand incompatible with
that anticipated under the Comprehensive Plan.
That the total average residential density of the project will be compatible
with the Comprehensive Plan, except as may be modified by this Section.
That thE! ag~lI-egate open space of the development will be no less, than
would have resulted from the application of open space requirements of
the underlyin!J districts.

insured eithEJlr by establishment of appropriate management organization
for the project or by agreement with the municipality for establishment of
a special service district for the project area where the municipality shall
provide the necessary maintenance servicE~ and levy the cost thereof as
special assessment on the tax bills of properties within the project area.
In any case the Common Council shall have the right to carry out and levy
an assessrrwnt for the cost of any maintenance, which it feels necessary
if it is not otherwise taken care of to the satisfaction of the Common
Council. Thl;;~ manner of assuring maintenance and assessing such cost
to individual properties shall be determined prior to the approval of the
final project plans and shall be included in the title to each property.
Ownership émd tax liability of private open space reservation shall be
established in a manner acceptable to the municipality and made a part of
the conditions of the plan approval.

CPD-1 MARTIN ESTATES
The Martin Estates Subdivision is a conservation development consisting of 16
single-family lots and 2 outlots on 50.33 acres of land. The subdivision utilizes
the base zoning .of RCE/CPD Residential Country Estate District with
Conservation Planned Development Overlay District, which generally allows
parcels of a maximum 60,000 square feet and a maximum of 150 feet in width
(Both of which vary depending on lot layout and subject to Common Council
approval). The demsity for Martin Estates meets the Comprehensive Plan
objective of low-density residential consistent with the RCE zoning district.
Overall, Martin Estates preserves approximately !;O% open space exclusive of
the proposed roadways.
Two outlots were proposed as part of the development with one being utilized for
stormwater management. The stormwater outlot is owned by the Martin Estate
Homeowner's JI.ssociiation. The conservation outlot will be maintained by the City
of Muskego as lands within this outlot are identified as priority management
areas within the City's adopted Conservation Plan.
The development is of sufficient size to allow three bonus lots subject to
Common Council approval and subject to completing one conservation measure
per bonus lot requested. Martin Estates requested three bonus lots above the
original density that was allowed under the previous zoning (Previous zoning was
RCE Residential Country Estate, which allowed 13 lots under the approved yield
plan as per Plan Commission Resolution #079-~~001 with the possibility of 3
bonus lots). Four measures were actually comple~ted as part of Martin Estate's
bonus lots and they are as follows: .

CPD-2 CHAMBERLAIN HILL
The Chamberlain Hill Subdivision is a conservation development consisting of 29
single-family lots and 3 outlots on 29.52 acres of land. The subdivision utilizes
the base zoning of RSE/CPD Suburban Estate District with Conservation
Planned Development Overlay District, which generally allows parcels of a
maximum 20,000 square feet and a maximum of 100 feet in width (Both of which
vary dependin9 on lot layout and subject to Common Council approval). The
density for Chambmlain Hill meets the Comprehensive Plan objective of low-
density residential consistent with the RSE zoning district. Overall, Chamberlain
Hill preserves approximately 52.8% open spacH exclusive of the proposed
roadways.
Three outlots were proposed as part of the development with one being utilized
for stormwater management and two for conservation land protection. The
stormwater outlot is owned by the Chamberlain Hill Homeowner's Association.
The larger cons.ervation outlot will be maintained by the City of Muskego as lands
within this outlot aw identified as priority management areas within the City's
adopted Conservation Plan. The other outlot for conservation is maintained by
the Chamberlain Hilil Homeowner's Association.
The development is of sufficient size to allow bonus lots subject to Common
Council approval and subject to completing conservation measures if bonus lots
are requested. Chamberlain Hill requested bonus lots above the original density
that was allowed under the previous zoning (Previous zoning was RSE Suburban
Estate District, which allowed 25 lots under the approved yield plan as per Plan

CPD-4 BOXHORN RESERVE
The Boxhorn Reserve Subdivision is a conservation development consisting of
19 single-family lots and 2 outlots on 20.54 acres of land. The subdivision
utilizes the base zoning of RSE/CPD Suburban Estate District with Conservation
Planned Development Overlay District, which generally allows parcels of a
20,000 square foot maximum size and a maximum of 100 feet in width (Both of
which vary depending on lot layout and subject to Common Council approval).
The density for Boxhorn Reserve meets the Comprehensive Plan objective of
low-density residentiial consistent with the RSE zoning district. Overall, Boxhorn
Reserve preserves approximately 52.8% open space exclusive of the proposed
roadways.
Two outlots were proposed as part of the development with one being utilized for
stormwater management and the other being dedicated to the City of Muskego
for Conservation Purposes. The stormwater outlot is owned by the Boxhorn
Reserve HomeownEiIr's Association and is being enhanced with prairie plantings.
The conservation ouitlot will be maintained by the City of Muskego as lands within
this outlot are identified as priority management amas within the City's adopted
Conservation Plan.
The development is of sufficient size to allow three bonus lots subject to
Common Council approval and subject to completing one conservation measure
per bonus lot requested. Boxhorn Reserve requested three bonus lots above the
original density that was allowed under the previous zoning (Previous zoning was
R-2 Country Home District, R-3 Country Home District, and RS-2 Suburban
Residence District, which allowed 16 lots under the approved yield plan as per
Plan Commission nesolution #052-2002 with the possibility of 3 bonus lots).
Four measures were actually completed as part of Boxhorn Reserve's bonus lots
and they are as follows:
A. Providing for access by the general public to trails, parks, or other
recreational llacilities, excluding golf courses.
Preservation of Environmental features identified in the adopted
Conservation Plan.
Restores naltive prairie and provides a management plan for perpetual
maintenancE.
Improves water quality by through stormwater management standards
and practices, which exceed the minimum standards of Chapter 34 of the
Municipal Code, and, as approved by the Engineering/Building Inspection
Director and the Public Works Committee.

CPD-5 DENOON COUNTRY ESTATES NORTH
The Denoon Country Estates North Subdivision is a conservation development
consisting of 10 sin9le-family lots and 2 outlots on 23.91 acres of land. The
subdivision utilizes the base zoning of RCE/CPD Country Estate District with
Conservation Planned Development Overlay District, which generally allows
parcels of a 60,000 square foot maximum size and a maximum of 150 feet in
width (Both of which vary depending on lot layout and subject to Common
Council approval). The density for Loughney Subdivision meets the
Comprehensive Plan objective of low-density residential consistent with the RCE
zoning district. Overall, Loughney Subdivision preserves approximately 65%
open space exclusive of the proposed roadways.
Two outlots were proposed as part of the development with one being utilized for
stormwater management and the other being dedicated to the City of Muskego
for Conservation Purposes. The stormwater outlot is owned by the Subdivision
Homeowner's Assodation and is being enhanced with prairie plantings. The
conservation outlot 'iii/ill also be maintained by the Homeowner's Association and
will be managed under a recorded Open Space Management Plan due to having
lands identified as medium acquisition priority areas within the City's adopted
Conservation Plan.
The developnll:mt is of sufficient size to allow three bonus lots subject to
Common Council approval and subject to completing one conservation measure
per bonus lot requested. Denoon Country Estates North requested three bonus
lots above the ori9inal density that was allowed under the previous zoning
(Previous zoning was A Agricultural District, which allowed 7 lots under the
approved yield plan as per Plan Commission Resolution #103-2005 with the
possibility of 3 bonus lots). Three measures were actually completed as part of
the Denoon Country Estates North Subdivision's bonus lots and they are as
follows:
A. Preservation of Environmental features identified in the adopted
Conservation Plan.
Restores native prairie and provides a management plan for perpetual
maintenance.
Improves water quality by through stormwater management standards
and practices, which exceed the minimum standards of Chapter 34 of the

(1) NEIGHBORHOOD USES
In order to achieve the proximity necessary Ito make neighborhoods
walkabIE!, it is important to mix land uses. A traditional neighborhood
development should consist of a mix of residential uses, a mixed use
area, and open space as provided below:
A. A mix of residential uses of the following types can occur
anywhere in the traditional neighborhood development. For infill
development, the mix of residential uses may be satisfied by
existing residential uses adjacent to the Traditional Neighborhood
Development.
1. . Single-family detached dwellings;
2. Single-family attached dwellings, including duplexes,
townhouses, row houses;
Multifamily dwellings, including senior housing;
Secondary dwelling units, such as Mother-In-Law Units as
allowed by Section 8.01
"Special needs" housing, such as community living
arrangements and assisted living facilities.
Mixed use area, of commercial, residential, civic or institutional,
and open space uses as identified Ioelow. Ali residents should
be within approximately 1/4 mile or a 5-minute walk from existing
or proposed commercial, civic, and open space areas. Individual
businl:!sses should not exceed 6000 square feet in size.
1. Commercial uses.
a. Food services (neighborhood grocery stores;
butcher shops; bakeries; restaurants, not including
drive-thrus; cafes; coffee shops; neighborhood bars

19.01 FINDINGS OF FACT
(1) The Common Council finds that Adult-Oriented Establishments, as
defined and! otherwise regulated by the City in its Adult-Oriented
Licensing and Regulation Ordinance, require special zoning in order to
protect and preserve the health, safety, and welfare of the City.
Based on its. review of studies conducted in Phoenix AZ, Garden Grove
CA, Los An~;leles CA, Whittier CA, Indianapolis IN, Minneapolis MN, S1.
Paul MN, Cleveland OH, Oklahoma City OK, Amarillo TX, Austin TX,
Beaumont TX, Houston TX, Seattle W A, and the findings incorporated in
City of Rerrton v. Playtime Theaters, Inc., 475 U.S. 41 (1986),
Coleman A. Young v. American Mini-Theaters, Inc., 427 U.S. 50
(1976), the Common Council finds that them is convincing evidence that
the secondary effects of Adult-Oriented Establishments include an
increased ris.k of prostitution, high-risk sexual behavior, crime, and other
deleterious effects upon existing businesses and surrounding residential
areas, and døcreased property values.
The Common Council intends to control the impact of these secondary
effects in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the citizenry;
protect the citizens from increased crime; preserve the quality of life;
preserve the property values and character of surrounding neighborhoods
and areas.
It is not the intent of the Common Council to suppress any speech
activities protected by the First Amendment, but to enact a content-
neutral ordinance which addresses the secondary effects of Adult-
Oriented Establishments while providing an outlet for First Amendment
protected activities.
In order to minimize and control the secondary effects of Adult-Oriented
Establishments upon the City, it is the intent of the Common Council to
prevent the conc~ntration of Adult-Oriented Establishments within a
certain distance of each other and within a certain distance of other
specified locations, which are incompatible with and would suffer from the
secondary effects of Adult-Oriented Establishments.
Based upon lits review of materials linking alcohol consumption and high-
risk sexual behavior and materials linking alcohol consumption and
crimes such as sexual assault, the Common Council finds that a
geographic separation of Adult-Oriented Establishments from alcohol
beverage licensed premises is warranted.

boundary linøs, to the lot line of any lot usee! for a park, playground, or the
lot line of any structure listed in Section 19.02{1), (2), and (3).
The measumments from a structure shall be taken from the farthest point
a structure extends in the direction of the measurement, including
overhanging roofs or similar projections.
For Aduit-Olriented Establishments located in conjunction. with other
buildings and clearly separate from other establishments such as in a
shopping center, measurements shall be taken from the boundaries of the
space occupied by the Adult-Oriented Establishment.
For any Adult-Oriented Establishment located above ground level in a
multi-story structure and clearly separate from other establishments within
the struGture, the distance measurements shall be taken from the ground
floor public entrance/exit nearest the Adult-Oriented Establishment
(excluding emergency exits).
A licensed A.dult-Oriented Establishment is not disqualified from holding
an Adult-Orif:!nted Establishment License by the location subsequent to
the grant or renewal of its license of any of the establishments described
in Section 19.02(2)B, within 1,000 feet of the licensed premises. This
provision applies only to the renewal of an existing license and does not
apply when an application for a license is submitted after a license for that
