Land Holding District

The primary purpose of this district is to preserve for a limited time period in agricultural and related open-space land uses those lands generally located adjacent to existing incorporated urban centers within Walworth County where urban expansion is planned to take place on the adopted regional land use plan. It is the intent that urban development be deferred in such areas until the appropriate legislative bodies concerned determine that it is economically and financially feasible to provide public services and facilities for uses other than those permitted in the district. It is intended that the status of all areas in this district be reviewed by the appropriate planning bodies no less frequently than every five years in order to determine whether, in light of current land development trends, there should be a transfer of all or any part of such areas to some other appropriate use district. Any such review will consider the need for permitting other uses on such land, the nature of the use or uses to be permitted, and the cost and availability of the public services and facilities which will be necessitated by such new use or uses.
