GENERAL INFORMATION
Petitioner: MBP, LLC
Owner: Steve Moorhead
Actions Requested:
The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Recommended Land Use Map in the
Comprehensive Plan. The subject area is designated for light density residential use; the
applicant is requesting a change to a medium and high residential land use designation.
The applicant is also requesting a zone district change from Single Family Residential - 5
District (SR-5) to Multi -Family Residential - 12 District (MR-12) for the same area as the
Comprehensive Land Use Map amendment.
Property Location and Background Information:
The petitioner is requesting a comprehensive land use map amendment and zone district
change of a 17.78 acre vacant parcel along with two adjoining 0.4 acre parcels located on the
south side of Witzel Avenue, west of S. Westhaven Drive. The petitioner is proposing to
combine these vacant lots through a Certified Survey Map (CSM) and construct a multi -family
development for the subject property. The proposed multi -family use is not permitted in the
SR-5 district and will require a comprehensive land use map amendment and zone change.
The surrounding area consists of single and multi -family residential uses to the north, multi-
family to the east, single family to the west and Mercy Medical Center to the south.

ANALYSIS — COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT
In October of 2018, the City adopted the Comprehensive Plan Update 2040, an update to the
previous plan from 2005. Part of the update entailed refining the 20-Year Recommended Land
Use Map. The map is a representation of future land uses within the City and in the
extraterritorial three mile buffer. Future land use maps are intended to be used as a general
reference tool for determining appropriate future land use and growth patterns. When creating
the maps, recommended uses were determined on a broader scale rather than a parcel by parcel
basis.
Staff realizes that sections of the Comprehensive Plan, including mapping portions, need to be
updated or revised periodically to accommodate logical requests/changes in future land use. In
this case, the light density land use designation, which allows for single and two family uses,
was assigned to this property to be consistent with the existing neighboring uses and the SR-5
zoning designation. The petitioner approached the City about a possible multi -family
development for the site which would be considered a medium and high density residential
land use. Staff was open to the proposal and requested that the petitioner conduct a
neighborhood meeting to get input from the surrounding property owners, which was
conducted via virtual meeting on April 3, 2020. The neighbors' main concerns were related to
potential storm water runoff, provided greenspace and potential views from the adjoining
properties. Staff and the developer informed the neighbors that the site would need to be in
compliance with storm water, greenspace and bufferyard standards per City ordinances.
The proposed map change area is approximately 684 feet (along Witzel Avenue) by 1,180 feet
and approximately 18.5 acres. In looking at this stretch of Witzel Avenue west of S. Westhaven
Drive to S. Oakwood Road, the north side of Witzel Avenue is predominantly multi -family uses
while the south side consists of a multi -family development to the east and single family
residential to the west. The multi -family uses to the east and north of the subject property were
developed over the past several decades while the area to the west has historically been single
family residential.
Staff feels that the proposed map amendment will be compatible with surrounding land uses
and will be consistent with development patterns in the surrounding area. Staff has received
little to no interest in developing the subject site for single or two family residential uses.
Item I: Comp Plan Land Use Map Amendment, Zone Change — 2600 Block Witzel Ave.
Paqe 2
However, in recent years there has been an increase in demand for multi -family development in
the area.
If the map amendment and zone change are denied, the owner still has the option to develop
the site for single family use or potentially two family use if rezoned. Upon review of the
request, staff supports changing the projected land use from a light density residential
designation to a medium and high density residential designation.
ANALYSIS — ZONE CHANGE
The petitioner is requesting a zone district change from Single Family Residential 5 District (SR-
5) to Multi -family Residential 12 District (MR-12). This is in conjunction with the
Comprehensive Land Use Map amendment previously discussed. The proposed area mirrors
the map amendment and is the location of the proposed multi -family development.
The MR-12 District is being requested as it will be an extension of the MR-12 district from the
east. The MR-12 district allows multi -family uses by -right and is intended to allow for 12 units
per acre. As proposed, the multi -family development will have a density of approximately 8
units per acre.
Staff evaluated if there would be any negative impacts on the surrounding properties. The only
potential negative impacts on neighboring properties will be on the single family residential
uses to the west. However, the City's landscaping ordinance includes bufferyard requirements
to mitigate these potential impacts. As the properties to the north and east are primarily multi-
family uses and the property to the south is an institutional use (hospital), staff does not
anticipate any negative impacts on these properties.
As previously mentioned, the applicant conducted a virtual neighborhood meeting on April 3,
2020. The neighbors in attendance did not voice opposition to the proposed multi -family land
use/zone change.
Staff is in support of the zone change as the proposed MR-12 district is consistent with zoning
designations in the surrounding area and will allow for compatible land use with surrounding
properties. If the previously discussed comprehensive land use amendment is approved, the
MR-12 district will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Comprehensive Land Use Map Amendment:
Staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Land Use Map amendment from a light
density residential designation to a medium and high density residential designation for
properties located at 2600 Block Witzel Avenue as proposed.

SUMMARY OF PROCESS
The City of Oshkosh Plan Commission and Common Council act on all amendments to the Official Zoning Map.
The petitioner or owner should be present at both the Plan Commission and, Common Council meetings to
discuss and answer questions regarding the request.
The application package is reviewed by Planning Services staff to determine conformance with adopted city
plans, zoning requirements and development standards. A staff recommendation is prepared for consideration
by the Plan Commission and Common Council. The petitioner will be provided with a copy of the staff report
and meeting notice several days prior to the Plan Commission meeting. The staff report and meeting notice will
also be available on the City's website. No notice is sent to the petitioner or owner regarding the Common
Council's consideration of the request. Petitioners and owners are encouraged to contact Planning Services
staff to find out when the request will be sent to the Common Council for review.
Neighborhood opinion is an important factor in the decision -making process. If the proposed development is
expected to have significant impact on other properties, the petitioner may be required to conduct a
neighborhood meeting to solicit public input prior to action by the Plan Commission and City Council. Planning
Services staff is available to offer assistance in compiling a mailing list for the neighborhood meeting. If deemed
appropriate, notification by mail informing the property owners within 100 feet of the subject property of the
proposal may substitute for the public meeting. Please note that a meeting notice will be mailed to all abutting
property owners regarding your request.
Within 90 days of filing a complete application, Plan Commission shall hold a public hearing to consider the
request. Within 60 days of the public hearing, the Plan Commission may make a written report to the Common
Council with recommendations regarding the proposal. The Plan Commission's report is advisory only. The
Common Council will make the final decision regarding all zone change requests. The Plan Commission may lay
over requests to subsequent meetings'if incomplete information is provided or additional questions or concerns
are raised at the meeting.
After the Plan Commission makes its recommendation, the request will be forwarded to the Common Council for
consideration. This generally occurs three weeks after the Plan Commission meeting depending on the date the
Council meeting is scheduled (the Council meets on the 2^d and 4th Tuesday of every month) and on the
availability of a legal description for the zone change. Wisconsin State Statutes require a zone change to be
published as Class II notice in the local newspaper, the City takes care of this publication requirement prior to
the Council meeting.
The Common Council may approve the Official Zoning Map amendment as originally proposed, may approve
the proposed amendment with modifications, or may deny approval of the proposed amendment. If the
Official Zoning Map amendment is approved, the Ordinance is published in the newspaper on the following
Saturday and will be effective on Sunday. City administrative offices -are notified of the effective date of the
Ordinance and will make changes to the Official Zoning Map accordingly.
