Applicable Ordinance Provisions: None Property Location and Type: The subject property is the former site of the Mercy Medical Center and Hospital. TIF 14 was created in August 2002 on the site to promote the development of a mixed use commercial/ residential development. Most of the development has occurred on the site, but the frontage along Grove Street was never undertaken. The City acquired the property from Winnebago County a few years ago for non-payment of taxes.

Staff believes the development will continue to address the community’s need for affordable housing while furthering neighborhood revitalization efforts in Oshkosh. Staff believes this project proposal will provide many benefits including: create additional affordable housing opportunities through home ownership, assist low-to-moderate income individuals and/or families with asset development through home equity and leverage existing local funding. The project is also consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and the City’s Strategic Plan. The land area encompassed in this request is located on the entire east side of the 600 block of Grove Street bordered by Cleveland Avenue on the north and Parkway Avenue on the south. The subject area is a single parcel of land which has been vacant since the demolition of the former Mercy Hospital generator/maintenance structure that had previously been on the center of the site. The proposed development includes the construction of six single family affordable homes. Habitat has provided a draft concept of what the development could look like. Community Development staff will approve of final building elevations as each lot is developed. The proposal places the main entry doors on the front, Grove Street façade, and includes front porches for each structure. The proposed development is consistent with the neighborhood and other redevelopment projects within the area. It is believed the proposed land disposition and future redevelopment will not have an adverse impact on the general health, safety, and welfare of the surrounding neighborhood. It is not anticipated that the land disposition will increase or impede pedestrian and vehicle safety. There are available public utilities which are able to service the proposed development and will not generate unnecessary demand on the available services. RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS Staff recommends approval of the land disposition to Habitat for Humanity.
