-�� TOWN OF BURKE Comprehensive Plan guidelines in place provides an expectation to the developer for what the Town desires and how to achieve the Town's goals, set forth by public input and citizen involvement. Similarly, guidelines provide an example and explanation to residents of how and why development proposals look the way do. Design Guidelines should be prepared and implemented in conjunction with the Village of DeForest and Cities of Madison and Sun Prairie as they may affect the ETJ areas and overlapping neighborhood plans. Future Land Use Map Categories The Future Land Use Map (Map 8) indicates recommended future land uses over the 20-year planning period and their location within the Town. This map incorporates the future land uses of Madison, Sun Prairie, and DeForest and their ETJ areas, as compiled by the Madison Area Metropolitan Planning Organization. Discrepancies exist between the land use categories of this Plan and the Comprehensive Plans of DeForest, Sun Prairie and Madison because the planning horizon year for local plans varies depending on when the plan was prepared.28 Map 8 will be used to guide Town decision-making on future land use changes and prevent or minimize potential conflicts between overlapping jurisdictions. The Comprehensive Plans, neighborhood and special area plans, and other local land use plans of the DeForest, Sun Prairie and Madison should be consulted for specific future land use recommendations. All future development should comply with the local jurisdictions development requirements as outlined by their local plans and ordinances. Below is a description and recommended zoning, policies and programs for each planned land use category depicted on Map 8. The Burke—DeForest Extraterritorial Zoning Committee allows the Village the authority to zone within the DeForest ETJ. County zoning does not apply in this area. For all areas of Burke outside the DeForest ETJ, county zoning does still apply. Agriculture Description:The agriculture land use category is established to preserve productive agricultural lands, open space, and natural areas in the long-term. This land use category focuses on lands actively used for farming and/or with productive agricultural soils and topography conditions for farming. This category may also include cropland/pasture, farm buildings and accessories, and commercial forests or woodlands. The Town is located in the Non-Farm Planning Area of the Farmland Preservation Plan and does not intend to seek agriculture as a future land use. However, this land use category is present throughout the county and is heavily active in neighboring jurisdictions. Recommended Zoning: Most of the land within the agriculture category will be zoned A-1 Agriculture by the Dane County Zoning Ordinance. The A-1 Agriculture District is generally for agricultural production 28 These communities are also in the process of preparing updated plans and in some cases have prepared neighborhood or detailed area plans. The data on Map 8 and the Future Land Use Map Categories reflect current local plans as of September 2010. November 21, 2013 89 Chapter Four: Land Use
