SECTION 2: LAND USE AND PHYSICAL CONDITIONS RG-2 General Residence This district is designed for a mix of single family, two family and smaller multi-family buildings which are characterized by smaller lots. Multi family units are not to exceed five per lot. The maximum building height is 35 feet and minimum lot width 40 feet. Minimum lot area is 6,000 square feet for two family dwellings, and 5,000 square feet for single family dwellings. Yard requirements are a build-to line of 15 feet for the front, 25 feet for the rear, and side yards ranging from 5 feet for one story to 8 feet for two or more stories. RM-1 and RM-2 Multi-family These multi-family districts are designed for the construction of multi-family uses of various densities, which are considered conditional uses. The bulk requirements for these districts are summarized in Table 2. Several residential designations are found in the Allendale Districts (yellow and orange blocks). Residential Zoning Analysis The residential regulations generally mirror the types of housing constructed in the areas that they are located. However, multi-family dwellings in the multi-family zoning districts are conditional uses as opposed to permitted uses in the RM-1 and RM-2 districts, whereas uses such as fraternity and sorority houses are permitted uses. If the intent of these districts is to provide multifamily housing, then consideration should be given to allowing multi-family development as of right in these districts, especially if more multi-family is desired around the Downtown core. In addition, consideration should be given to lowering the maximum height requirement in the RM-2 district, and analyzed with regards to its practicality and feasibility. RM-1 Maximum Density 11 d.u. per lot 12 d.u. per acre* RM-2 Lot Area 8,000 square feet 25,000 square feet- Single-family Lot Width 70 feet 100 feet Building Height 45 feet 100 feet Yards: Front 25 feet 25 feet Side 15-25 feet 15-25 feet Rear 25 feet 25 feet * Note: Maximum density for the RM-2 District is 12 dwelling units per acre, except that the density may be exceeded for the downtown area from 50th to 60th Street, the railroad tracks to Lake Michigan, and selected blocks from the original Plat of the Town of Southport, if approved by the review authority.

INDUSTRIAL ZONING M-1 Light and M-2 Heavy Manufacturing Districts Two manufacturing districts exist in Kenosha; M-1 Light Manufacturing; designed for lighter industry including warehousing and wholesale uses; and M-2 Heavy Manufacturing allowing for the heavier manufacturing uses. There is one section of the study area zoned M-2 at the north end of the study area along the railroad tracks and various smaller sites that are zoned M-1 scattered throughout the downtown area. Bulk requirements are summarized below in Table 3. M-1 M-2 Lot Area None None Lot Width None None Building Height 75 feet 100 feet Yards: Front None None Side None None Rear 9 feet 9 feet Table 3: Industrial zoning bulk requirements. Manufacturing District Analysis The existing land uses that are zoned M-2 and M-1 include an active plant, vacant property, and small quasi-manufacturing and commercial land uses located on smaller parcels throughout the Downtown. These smaller parcels should be rezoned to either a commercial or multi-family land use classification to be more consistent with surrounding land uses and zoning. Consideration should also be given to eventually rezoning the larger industrial parcels as they become vacant to be redeveloped into more compatible land uses.
