Home My WebLink AboutItem III PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SEPTEMBER 3,2019 ITEM III: PUBLIC HEARING: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST TO ESTABLISH AN OUTDOOR STORAGE USE AT 3135 OREGON STREET GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: Ryan Meyers Owner: Oshkosh Corporation Action(s) Requested: The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to establish an outdoor storage use on a previously developed lot. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: Outdoor Storage land uses are permitted only through a conditional use permit in the Heavy Industrial District (HI) as regulated in Section 30-62 (C) of the Zoning Ordinance. Criteria used for Conditional Use Permits are located in Section 30-382 of the Zoning Ordinance. Property Location and Background Information: The 5.91 acre site is located at the southwest corner of Oregon Street and W. Waukau Avenue and is accessed via entrances/exits from Oregon Street and W. Waukau Avenue. The site consists of a 13,115 square foot office building, associated parking area and gravel staging area. Currently, it is owned by Oshkosh Corporation and the building contains offices and a conference room for client meetings. The gravel area is used for the display of Oshkosh Corporation products during client meetings. The property is located on the south edge of town and the surrounding area consists predominately of industrial uses with some residential uses to the east. Subject Site: Existing Land Use Industrial HI Adjacent Land Use and Zoning: Existing Uses Zoning North Cemetery/Single-family Residential HI South Manufacturing HI West Manufacturing HI County Zoning(R-1)/Town of East Residential Black Wolf Comprehensive Plan Land Use Recommendation Land Use 2040 Land Use Recommendation Industrial Page 1 ANALYSIS The petitioner is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to expand the existing gravel staging area to the southwest of the building and use it as a secured outdoor storage area for Oshkosh Corporation products. The owner intends to display the products to clients visiting the facility. The storage as proposed will consist of approximately 6,300 sq. ft. (0.15 acres) of gravel staging area. Outdoor storage areas exceeding 500 sq. ft. in area require a CUP. The owner also plans to expand the asphalt parking area to the south to accommodate client parking needs. The parking lot expansion will consist of approximately 13,500 sq. ft. (0.31 acres). The parking expansion will replace some of the area currently used as green space on the southern portion of the site. Staff will require that the petitioner submit a revised site plan showing dimensions between the proposed parking area and property lines to ensure that the parking area meets setbacks. Screening The owner must completely enclose the outdoor storage area with an 8' tall solid fence per ordinance. The fencing originally proposed by the petitioner was 6' tall chain link fencing and therefore deficient. The petitioner will have to submit revised fencing details to Department of Community Development staff as part of the Site Plan Review process. Access/Traffic/Vehicle Circulation The enclosed storage area should not affect vehicle circulation on the rest of the site as the storage area does not obstruct access to the existing or proposed parking areas. No changes are proposed to the existing parking areas,except that the existing parking to the south of the building will lose 3 stalls to allow access to the new parking area. The number of employees at the site and client meetings will not change. No changes are proposed to the existing access drives on along Oregon Street or W. Waukau Avenue. Landscaping The proposed parking area will require revisions to comply with applicable ordinances. The petitioner has not submitted a landscaping plan and the parking area as proposed is deficient in landscaping. Landscaped islands will be required to meet code. Additional street frontage landscaping may also be necessary. Landscaping points will vary depending on how many parking stalls the applicant proposes. The addition of required landscape islands at parking row ends will reduce the number of stalls from what the petitioner has proposed. Paved area landscaping must be placed within the paved area or within 10' of the paved area. If the petitioner cannot meet the required number of points with the landscape islands, additional landscaping would be necessary within 10' of the paved area at the perimeter. The landscaping requirements will apply only to the new parking expansion. For street frontage landscaping, a minimum of 30 points per 100 linear feet of right-of-way frontage is required. Ordinance allows the petitioner to count some existing mature trees towards the point total. Staff does not have information on the existing street frontage landscaping and if this is deficient, additional plantings would be required within 10' of the right-of-way. The petitioner will have to submit a code-compliant landscaping plan as part of the Site Plan Review process. Item III—CUP/Outdoor Storage—3135 Oregon Street 2 Page 2 Lighting The petitioner's photometric plan includes two light fixtures. Staff will require more information on these fixtures to determine whether they meet code. The lighting levels as proposed for the center parking stalls are less than 0.4 foot-candles and therefore deficient. The petitioner will have to submit a code-compliant photometric plan and light fixture information as part of the Site Plan Review process. Siege No sign plans were submitted and the applicant is not proposing any changes to the on-site signage. Building Facades No changes are proposed to the existing building facades as part of this Conditional Use Permit. Storm Water Management/Utilities The petitioner submitted erosion and grading plans. The Department of Public Works reviewed the proposal and noted that the proposed work will require compliance with Chapter 14 (Storm Water) of the Municipal Code. The petitioner will have to submit compliant storm water management plans for Department of Public Works review. Conclusion Staff is in support of the proposed outdoor storage use and parking expansion as the use should not be detrimental to the surrounding area, provided that the work will not alter any access drives or traffic patterns and that the required solid (at least 90%opaque)8' tall screening (fencing)is installed around the storage area. The petitioner will have to submit a code- compliant site plan, fencing details, a landscaping plan, a photometric plan and storm water management plans for Department of Community Development and Department of Public Works review as part of the Site Plan Review process. RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Conditional Use Permit, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings based on the criteria established by Chapter 30-382 (17)(3): (1) Is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan. (2) Would not result in a substantial or undue adverse impact on nearby property, the character of the neighborhood, environmental factors, traffic factors, parking, public improvements, public property or rights-of-way, or other matters affecting the public health, safety, or general welfare. (3) Maintains the desired consistency of land uses, land use intensities, and land use impacts as related to the environs of the subject property. (4) The conditional use is located in an area that will be adequately served by, and will not impose an undue burden on, any of the improvements, facilities, utilities or services provided by public or private agencies serving the subject property. Item III—CUP/Outdoor Storage—3135 Oregon Street 3 Page 3 (5) The potential public benefits outweigh any potential adverse impacts of the proposed conditional use, after taking into consideration the applicant's proposal and any requirements recommended by the applicant to ameliorate such impacts. Staff recommends approval of the proposed Conditional Use Permit for an outdoor storage area at 3135 Oregon Street as proposed with the findings listed above and the following conditions: 1. The outdoor storage area must be completely enclosed by 8 foot tall solid (at least 90% opaque)fencing. 2. Final landscaping plan shall be reviewed by Department of Community Development staff. 3. No changes shall be made to the existing access drives leading to the site from Oregon Street and W. Waukau Avenue.

It is currently office space and a large conference room for client meetings. Finished goods are staged for display in the gravel area during client meetings, The major change to the current utilization is the additional of an asphalt parking lot to accommodate the clients parking needs as well as expanding the existing gravel display area for staging finished goods. Currently on the site is a building, asphalt parking lot and gravel staging area. There are no changes to the building, or current asphalt parking lot planned as part of this project. The gravel area will be expanded, and the asphalt parking lot will lose 3 stalls to create an access to the new lot expansion to the south. There will be no residents visiting the site and the employees utilizing the building will remain the same. Client meetings will continue to vary week to week but is not expected to change from what takes place currently. The proposed gravel lot expansion is to accommodate more area for displaying products and the asphalt expansion is for additional parking for visiting clients. The new asphalt parking area planned to be added is 13,500sf or 0.31 acres. The new gravel staging area planned is 6,300sf or 0.15 acres. The new landscape area planned is 8,100sf or 0.19 acres. There is no building work being done as part of this project. Since there is no change in employees or activity at the site there will not be any effects or impact to adjoining properties once the construction work has been completed. This project is for enhancing the property for what it is already used for so there are no compatibility issues with the other existing properties in the area. This project is to the south of the existing parking lot at this site. The current use of the area is for green space. The land to the west is a large equipment storage area for the owner. The land to the south is agricultural fields and the land across the street to the east is private residences. There will be no impacts with any adjacent properties. The new parking lot is accessed from the existing parking lot. There will not be any changes in the traffic patterns or the amount of traffic at the location. The asphalt parking lot is being installed to allow for additional and safer parking to be used at the facility during client meetings that are already occurring at this site.
