Conditional Use
Description: A conditional use is a land use that is not automatically allowed in a particular zoning district, but may be allowed by the Village following a case-by-case review and determination.
 
The zoning regulations identify those land uses that are classified as a conditional use in each of the zoning districts. A particular land use may be allowed by right in one district, classified as a conditional use in another, and prohibited in the remaining districts.
 
The property owner or developer initiates the review process by submitting an application that describes the proposed location and the size and scope of the proposed use and basic operating characteristics.
 
Because a conditional use is not automatically allowed in a district, the public is notified of the pending application so they are aware of the proposal and invited to attend the public hearing to learn more about the proposed project and to offer their comments.  
 
Under Wisconsin law, local municipalities have some – not complete – discretion, within specific parameters, in determining whether the petitioner’s application should be approved or denied. By designating a particular land use as a conditional use in a given zoning district, a property owner has the potential for more development options while balancing that with the interests of the community, ensuring that new development does not adversely affect the surrounding area.
 
If the Village approves a petitioner’s conditional use application, other types of reviews may also be required such as a site plan review. Once approved, a conditional use is subject to ongoing terms and conditions for how the particular use is operated until the approval is amended or the use is terminated.

Decision-maker(s): Plan Commission makes a recommendation and the Village Board makes the final decision

Notes

1. In order for an application to be heard on a given meeting date, the application (including forms, fees, plans, reports, etc.) must be submitted AND deemed complete by Village staff on or before the corresponding submittal date. Because of that, you may want to submit your application before the submittal date. That way, we may be able to let you know if anything is missing and you'll have some time to perhaps get it done before the deadline.

2. Meeting dates and their corresponding submittal dates are subject to change.
