ANALYSIS
The City of Oshkosh Community Development Department is requesting approval of a
monument-style sign along Clairville Road, north of Transit Drive, identifying the City’s rail
transload facility. The sign is considered a “neighborhood sign” under the sign ordinance,
which requires a Conditional Use Permit.
As proposed, the sign will be 6’ tall and 62 sq. ft. per side. The sign meets setback requirements
for the HI district. The sign will be constructed of fabricated aluminum and vinyl with a faux
ledgestone finish at the base.

Staff is supportive of the CUP as the proposed monument sign will meet all applicable signage
standards and will provide for an attractive entrance to the Industrial Park.
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 (F)(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.
(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 a sign at the northeast
corner of Clairville Road and Transit Drive, as proposed with the findings listed above.
