(3)

Conditional uses.

Community living arrangements, as defined in Wisconsin State Statutes, with a capacity for 16 or more persons, subject to the provisions of Wisconsin State Statutes.

(4)

Density for Multiple Family Dwellings.

The maximum density of multiple family dwellings allowed as a permitted use shall be five dwelling units per acre.

The maximum density of two-family dwellings within a complex of buildings allowed as a permitted use shall be five dwelling units per acre.

Density shall be the number of dwelling units on the developed property divided by net size of the lot or property, resulting in a coefficient of dwelling units per acre. The net property size is the gross size of the property at time of application for development minus any public right-of-way existing before development, and minus 50 percent of total area covered by designated environmental features. Designated environmental features are areas delineated as wetlands and verified as wetlands by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources or the Army Corps of Engineers; Primary Environmental Corridors and Secondary Environmental Corridors as verified by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission; floodplains mapped locally or by the FEMA; and land that is permanently or temporarily submerged by water but not including new storm water management and/or water quality basins constructed for the development. Land areas that contain multiple environmental features, such as wetlands within a floodplain, are not double counted. This 50 percent standard only determines the allowable maximum density and should not be construed to allow construction within or removal of any designated environmental features unless permitted by the agency with jurisdiction of the feature. Further division of a lot and/or property by a condominium plat does not change the density calculation of using the gross or net size of the original lot or property.
