TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Mark Lyons, Planning Services Manager
DATE: April 22, 2021
RE: Approve General Development Plan for a Commercial Development at the Southwest
Corner of West South Park Avenue and West 20th Avenue
BACKGROUND
The applicant requests approval of a General Development Plan for commercial development at the
southwest corner of West South Park Avenue and West 20th Avenue. The subject site consists of one 1.38
acre parcel located at the southwest corner of West South Park Avenue and West 20th Avenue, which
was the former Packer Pub site. The surrounding area consists primarily of commercial land uses as well
as residential uses along Ripon Lane.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to divide the subject parcel into two commercial lots. A CSM required to split
the existing parcel has been submitted to the Department of Community Development for review. As
proposed, the two commercial sites will have a shared access off of West 20th Avenue and West South
Park Avenue, which will require a cross access agreement. The plan also shows an internal driveway
connecting to the future commercial development to the south (La Sures site). The applicant is requesting
base standard modifications (BSMs) for reduced front setback along West 20th Avenue for the parking
lots on both sites to 10.7’ where code requires a 25’ setback. The applicant is also requesting a BSM to
allow the dumpster enclosure on the western site to be placed between the building and public right-of-
way (West South Park Avenue). Staff is supportive of both of the requested BSMs as it is difficult to meet
code requirements due to the unique lot configuration. The site is irregularly shaped, double-fronted,
and has an unusually large right-of-way area along West 20th Avenue. Staff is recommending that the
applicant offset the requested BSMs by increasing the street frontage landscaping beyond the minimum
point requirement. This can be addressed during the SIP process.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission recommended approval of the general development plan as requested at its April
20, 2021 meeting. Please see the attached staff report and meeting minutes for more information.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:

ITEM VII A: GDP SW corner W 20th Ave./W South Park Ave. 2
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to divide the subject parcel into two commercial lots. A CSM will be
required to split the existing parcel, and has been submitted to the Department of Community
Development for review. As proposed, the two commercial sites will have a shared access off of
W 20th Avenue and W South Park Avenue, which will require a cross access agreement. The
plan also shows an internal driveway connecting to the future commercial development to the
south (La Sures site). Access control variances will be needed for number of driveway
approaches, driveway width, and lateral clearance, which will be addressed under the
subsequent item.
The previous item was for a rezone of the subject site to include a Planned Development (PD)
Overlay. With approval of the rezone, the applicant is requesting base standard modifications
(BSMs) for reduced front setback along W 20th Ave. for the parking lots on both sites to 10.7’
where code requires a 25’ setback. The applicant is also requesting a BSM to allow the
dumpster enclosure on the western site to be placed between the building and public right-of-
way (W South Park Ave.). The site plan appears to be compliant with all other dimensional
requirements.
This proposal was discussed at a Plan Commission workshop on February 16, 2021. Plan
Commission voiced support for the concept plans and preferred a single access off of W 20th Ave.,
as being proposed by the applicant.
ITEM VII A: GDP SW corner W 20th Ave./W South Park Ave. 3
Staff is supportive of both of the requested BSMs as the unique lot configuration results in
difficulties meeting these code requirements. Specifically, the site is irregularly shaped, double-
fronted and has an unusually large right-of-way area along W 20th Avenue. Staff is
recommending that the applicant offset the requested BSMs by increasing the street frontage
landscaping beyond the minimum point requirement. This can be addressed during the SIP
process.
Signage
The submitted site plan shows a monument sign on both of the commercial properties. As
shown, the signs meet setback requirements. Sign renderings were not included with this
request.
Landscaping
A preliminary landscape plan was included with the submittal. The plan shows approximate
locations of street frontage, building foundation, yard, and parking lot landscaping. The
applicant will need to meet all landscaping requirements or apply for base standard
modifications as part of the SIP process.
ITEM VII A: GDP SW corner W 20th Ave./W South Park Ave. 4
Storm Water Management/Utilities
A preliminary storm water management plan was included with this request. The Department
of Public Works has noted that since the overall site has greater than 20,000 square feet of land
disturbing construction activity, it will be subject to water quality along with any other
requirements of Chapter 14 of the City of Oshkosh Municipal Code Storm Water Management.
This will be addressed during the SIP and Site Plan Review processes.
Site Lighting
Lighting plans for the site have not yet been submitted. Lighting plans will be required to be
submitted as part of the SIP request.
Building Facades
Building elevation plans were not submitted as part of the GDP request. The applicant has
noted that they intend to meet all applicable design standard requirements for commercial
buildings.
FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS
In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Planned
Development district, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings
based on the criteria established by Chapter 30-387 (C)(6):

public sewer and water and public roads.
(e) The proposed Planned Development project will incorporate appropriate and
adequate buffers and transitions between areas of different land uses and development
densities/intensities.
(g) The proposed architecture and character of the proposed Planned Development
project is compatible with adjacent/nearby development.
(h) The proposed Planned Development project will positively contribute to and not
detract from the physical appearance and functional arrangement of development in the
area.
ITEM VII A: GDP SW corner W 20th Ave./W South Park Ave. 5
(i) The proposed Planned Development project will produce significant benefits in terms
of environmental design and significant alternative approaches to addressing

Oshkosh OA, LLC Commercial Development Rezone Request- Narrative
The proposed project consists of redeveloping three existing commercial developments into three new
commercial developments. These three parcels are currently zoned SMU, Suburban Mixed Use. The
developer is requesting a re-zone of these parcels to a Planned Development Overlay District. This re-
zone would allow for flexibility with the development standards of the SMU zone. If approved, we believe
that this new development will be a positive addition to the community. The following is a list of
advantages this development offers:
The site is currently almost entirely impervious. With the proposed developments, we will be able
to provide more green space (pervious areas) and storm water treatment and peak rate control
for the storm water runoff generated by the site, which currently does not exist. With the increased
green space and pervious areas for storm water management on this site, this development will
help protect environmentally sensitive areas in the surrounding community.
New, more aesthetically pleasing buildings that will meet City architectural requirements will be
built on these sites. These buildings will enhance the surrounding community and be compatible
with other buildings in the area.
This development will provide more green space than is currently existing on these parcels which
will increase the buffer and transition areas between adjacent parcels.
The development proposes to eliminate one driveway and shift one driveway west on W. 20th
Avenue. This will promote safer traffic flow in and out of this site along W. 20th Avenue and help
reduce congestion along adjacent streets.
