A-1 Agricultural image/svg+xml

This district is intended to provide for, maintain, preserve and enhance agricultural lands historically utilized for crop production but which are not included within the EA Exclusive Agricultural District and which are generally best suited for smaller farm units, including truck farming, horse farming, hobby farming, orchards and other similar agricultural-related activity. The district also permits the creation of large rural residential estate-type lots.

AE Agricultural Enterprise image/svg+xml

This district is intended to preserve and promote a full range of agricultural uses, secure land for livestock production and other agricultural uses that may be more intensive than crop production, strengthen agriculture's contribution to an area's economic base (including new employment opportunities), support processing, value added, and other activities closely allied to the agricultural industry, and prevent conversion of land identified as a valuable agricultural resource to uses that are not consistent with agriculture. The district's uses and regulations are designed to implement Comprehensive Plan goals by encouraging livestock and other agricultural uses in areas where conditions are best suited to these agricultural pursuits and discouraging residential development to avoid potential land use conflict. The AE District is generally compatible with the "prime agriculture" and "open space" land use designations of the Comprehensive Plan. Due to the more intensive nature of uses allowed, the AE District is not intended to be applied near moderately to densely populated areas, and it is not intended to accommodate residential uses as principle uses.

AT Agricultural Transition image/svg+xml

This district is intended to preserve existing agricultural uses in the intermediate term until an orderly transition to another planned district and use is approved by the Town Board. For this purpose, use of lands in the district should be reviewed at least once every five years, or more often when lands are annexed to adjacent communities or when urban services, such as centralized sanitary sewer or centralized water supply, are extended into the area. Lands included in this district should be those located near incorporated or urbanized areas where the predominant use is agricultural but where conversion to nonagricultural use is expected to occur in the foreseeable future. Uses permitted in the AT Agricultural District shall be consistent with those uses permitted by § 91.75, Wis. Stats., as may be amended from time to time.

CES Country Estate image/svg+xml

EA Exclusive Agricultural image/svg+xml

This district is intended to maintain, enhance and preserve agricultural lands historically utilized for crop production and the raising of livestock. The district is further intent upon preventing the premature conversion of agricultural land to scattered residential, commercial and industrial uses. Uses permitted in the EA Agricultural District shall be consistent with those uses permitted by § 91.75, Wis. Stats., as may be amended from time to time.

I-1 Rural Institutional (Unsewered) image/svg+xml

I-1 institutional uses are served by on-site sanitary sewerage systems (septic tanks) and private wells.

I-2 Urban Institutional (Sewered) image/svg+xml

M-1 Industrial image/svg+xml

This district is intended to provide for the orderly development of manufacturing or industrial operations which, on the basis of actual physical and operational characteristics, would not be detrimental to the surrounding area or to the Town as a whole by reason of smoke, noise, dust, odor, traffic, physical appearance or other similar factors, and to establish such regulatory controls as will reasonably ensure compatibility with the surrounding area in this respect. Uses which are generally perceived as being of a nuisance nature or considered to be a hazard to human life should not be permitted as a matter of right but permitted only as conditional uses after careful study and review. Listed conditional uses should not normally abut directly upon residential districts.
