Applicant: Village of Brookfield Current Zoning: A Single-Family Residential, A-1 Single-Family Residential, B Multiple- Family Residential, SA-6 Residential Multi-Unit Current land Use: Active and Passive Recreational Use Background Information: The Village of Brookfield has operated numerous park locations for many decades and in some cases, possibly dating back to the incorporation of the Village. The 1940 Code Book indicates that at that time “Parks, Recreation Buildings and Clubs not conducted as a business or for profit” were permitted uses in the “A Residence District” (§42.005, 4). On April 17, 1951, a Playground and Recreation Board was created when a proposition passed that established the maintenance and conduct of a playground and recreation system. The Zoning Ordinance adopted on March 25, 1996, includes the “Special Districts” zoning designation (§30.06.04) with language identical to that in the Village’s current Zoning Code, and parks and recreation uses were no longer listed as permitted uses in any single-family residential districts. A copy of this Code section is attached for your review. Adjacent Zoning and Land Use Please see attached exhibit. 1 Page 4 of 34 Analysis The 2014 Open Space Plans illustrated the value the community has placed on parks amenities and open space, and includes the following mission statement: “The Village of Brookfield strives to maintain and enhance the quality of life for all citizens of Brookfield by providing park, recreation, and leisure opportunities by developing, maintaining, preserving, and enhancing recreations areas and open space”. In Chapter 8 “Parks, Open Space & Environmental Features” of the 2018 Comprehensive Plan it is stated that “Village officials and staff, stakeholders, local conservation organizations, and residents have continuously identified the importance and value of parks, open space, and natural resources within the Village of Brookfield”. Protection and enhancement of the Village’s natural resources has been identified as a key issue relative to the future of the Village. Currently, only Kiwanis Park North and Kiwanis Park South have S-1 General Open Space district zoning, and portions of Ehlert Park have S-2 Restricted Planned Open Space district zoning. The remaining park properties are considered legal non-conforming uses in their respective zoning districts. The map amendments requested intend to protect the park assets and associated land uses for the Village. The intention is for parks and open space uses to have the appropriate zoning designations so that the results are conforming uses. Please note: Madlin Park has been removed from this map amendment request as the Village ownership records and information have been found to be incomplete. Standards of Review: An application for a map amendment should be considered in the context of the general Intent and Purpose of the Zoning Ordinance as follows: • To promote and to protect the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience, and the general welfare of the people. • To protect the character and maintain the stability of residential, business, commercial and manufacturing areas within the village, and to promote the orderly and beneficial development to such areas. • To provide adequate light, air, privacy, and convenience of access to property. • To regulate the intensity of use of zoning lots, and to determine the area of open spaces surrounding buildings and structures necessary to provide adequate light and air and protect the public health. • To limit congestion in the public streets and so protect the public health, safety and general welfare by providing the off-street parking of motor vehicles and for the loading and unloading of commercial vehicles. • To provide protection against fire, explosion, noxious fumes, and other hazards in the interest of the public health, safety, and the general welfare.
