In addition, the policies of the plan state that the Town will continue to rely upon State standards for protecting environmentally sensitive areas, protecting threatened and endangered species, ground water management, wetland habitat protection, and protection of historical and cultural resources. Recognizing private property rights by guiding and not controlling future development. Promote the Town s rural character by supporting family farms, state right to farm laws, and forests. The Town discourages junk cars, casinos, mobile home parks, factory farms, and animals (dogs and cats) at large. Encourage development of lots no smaller than five (5) acres for each residential unit. Multiple dwellings exceeding six (6) units per lot are prohibited. F 13

21 Town of Union, Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Summary Individuals are advised to consult the Town s plan to understand the full extent and intentions of local policies. The Town s future land use plan includes the following classifications: Exclusive Agriculture includes areas of the Town where traditional farming has occurred on prime farmland or soils that are highly erodible. The base density of development is one (1) unit per 35 acres. However, the Town allows the transfer of up to nine 40 acre parcels to a 40 acre parcel least suited for agriculture, contingent on preserving at least 75% of the developable 40 and the entire nine 40 acre tracts for agriculture or open space. This would result in an overall density of one (1) unit per 40 acres (10/400). The minimum lot size for new development is ½ acre. These policies are intended to be compatible with Eau Claire County s A1 Ex and AR zoning districts. Agricultural Residential includes agricultural lands that can accommodate limited non farm development due to location, soils, characteristics and relatively low intensity of agricultural operations. The base density of development is four (4) units per 40 acres, on 1 ½ acre lots. The Town permits up to six (6) ½ acre lots per 40 acres if 85% of the site is preserved or agriculture or open space. In addition, the Town will allow the transfer of allowable development of up to two 40 acre parcels to one least productive 40 if all parcels are contiguous and under the same ownership, contingent on preserving at least 60% of the developable 40 and the entire two 40 acre tracts for agriculture or open space. This would result in an overall density of one (1) unit per 6.6 acres (18/120). These policies are intended to be compatible with Eau Claire County s A 2 zoning district. Rural Residential includes rural lands that can accommodate non farm development due to location, soils characteristics, and relative lack of agricultural operations. The base residential density is dependent on a property s location in relation to the City of Eau Claire s Urban Sewer Service Area 2025 boundary. For properties within the SSA, base density is four (4) units per 40 acres on 2 ½ acre lots, allowed over a four year period. The Town permits up to six (6), ½ acre lots per 40 acres if 85% of the site is preserved for open space until urban sewer and water are available. If conservation design and common on site sewer/water are employed, the Town permits up to 12, ½ acre lots per 40 acres if 70% of the site is preserved for open space until urban sewer and water are available. This would result in an overall density of one (1) unit per three (3) acres (12/40). For properties outside of the 2025 SSA, the base density of development is six (6) units per 40 acres on 2 ½ acre lots, over a four year period. The Town permits up to eight (8), ½ acre lots per 40 acres if 80% of the site is preserved for open space. This would result in an overall density of one (1) unit per five (5) acres (8/40). These policies are intended to be compatible with Eau Claire County s RH and R 1 L zoning districts. Rural Transitional includes those rural lands that are likely to see non farm development due to location, soils characteristics, relative lack of agricultural operations and urbanization pressures. The base residential density is dependent on a property s location in relation to the City of Eau Claire s Urban Sewer Service Area 2025 boundary. For properties within the SSA, base density is four (4) units per 40 acres on 1 ½ acre lots, allowed over a four year period. The Town permits up to eight (8), ½ acre lots per 40 acres if 80% of the site is preserved for open space until urban sewer and water are available. If conservation design and common on site sewer/water are employed, the Town permits up to 16, ½ acre lots per 40 acres if 65% of the site is preserved for open space until urban sewer and water are available. This would result in an overall density of one (1) unit per 2.5 acres (16/40). F 21

22 For properties outside of the 2025 SSA, the base density of development is eight (8) units per 40 acres on 1 ½ acre lots, over a four year period. The Town permits up to 10, ½ acre lots per 40 acres if 75% of the site is preserved for open space. This would result in an overall density of one (1) unit per four (4) acres (10/40). These policies are intended to be compatible with Eau Claire County s RH and R 1 L zoning districts. Commercial/Industrial includes areas appropriate for commercial or industrial development. Urban sewer service is required for new commercial and industrial uses within the Urban Sewer Service Area if such service is available. The minimum lot size for commercial or industrial development is 1 ½ acres, unless receiving urban sewer and water services. Conservancy There are no direct policies associated with this classification. Public/Institutional There are no direct policies associated with this classification. F 22

33 City of Altoona, Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Summary The County does not have zoning or subdivision authority within incorporated jurisdictions, so the following summary is limited to those portions of the City s plan that provide recommendations for the area within its municipal plat review area 2. It is within this area that certain land use proposals, such as subdivision development, require approval by the City, Town of Washington, and County. Individuals are advised to consult the City s plan to understand the full extent and intentions of local policies. The City s future land use plan includes the following classifications within their plat review area: Natural Resource Protection an overlay district consisting of wetlands, floodplains, areas within steep slopes greater than 20%, and areas within the County Shoreline District. Commercial the City s plan identifies both sides of the US 12 corridor for future commercial development. The intensity and types of commercial development within these areas shall be regulated through the City s zoning code (see Chapter 19, C Commercial, C 1 Office Commercial, or BP Business Park District). Industrial some additional industrial land has been identified for the area between the railroad and planned US 12 commercial corridor. The intensity and types of industrial development within these areas shall be regulated through the City s zoning code (see Chapter 19, Industrial District). Low Density Residential the areas between the railroad and the Eau Claire River are identified for low density residential development. The majority of this area consists of rural subdivisions and the City s plan encourages infill development at a maximum gross density of five (5) residential dwelling units per acre. Planned Neighborhood the areas south of the US 12 commercial corridor and north of CTH A have been identified for future neighborhoods. Approximately 75% of the developed portion of the neighborhoods will be low density single family residential ( 5 units/ac). The remaining portion may feature a mix of medium density two family or small multifamily developments (5 10 units/ac). Planned Neighborhoods should feature a variety of lot sizes and housing styles, consistent with traditional neighborhood design principles. A limited amount of mixed use or neighborhood business development maybe appropriate near collector streets; however, intensive business or industrial developments shall be avoided. Rural Preservation Includes all land outside of the sewer service area not already identified for short term development. The primary intent of these areas is to preserve productive agricultural lands in the long term, protect existing farm & forestry operations from encroachment by incompatible uses, promote further investments in farming, maintain farmer eligibility for incentive programs, and to preserve wildlife habitat. Some limited low density development is anticipated in the RP areas in accordance with the City s density policy of one (1) unit per 10 acres of land.

34 requirements may be allowed upon review of the Plan Commission and approval of the Common Council subject to an agreement between the City, landowner (or their agent) and the Town of Washington. Rural Transition Includes all land within the sewer service area not already identified for short term development. The primary intent of this classification is to identify certain lands in proximity to developed areas, to be preserved in mainly agricultural and open space uses until such time as more intensive development may be appropriate. Within the RT classification, new development shall be limited in accordance with all policies applicable to the Rural Preservation classification, until such time when the City identifies that particular mapped area as appropriate for more intensive development. Other classifications such as Recreational Commercial, Park and Recreational, and Public/Institutional, primarily indicate existing uses that are expected to continue into the future. F 34
