ANALYSIS
Use
The applicant is proposing to divide the subject parcel into two commercial lots. A CSM will be
required to split the existing parcel, and will need to be reviewed and approved by the
Department of Community Development. This SIP request is for a commercial development
(O’Reilly Auto Parts) on the western proposed newly created, approximate 1-acre, lot. The
proposed commercial development is consistent with the approved GDP for the site.
Site Design/Access
The proposed site will have one access driveway along W 20th Ave. and one along W. South
Park Ave. with both providing two-way access to the parking lot. An access control variance
was approved by Plan Commission on April 6, 2021 to allow the following:
1. Reduced lateral clearance from Jackson St. to 28’ where code requires a minimum of 75
feet.
2. Increased driveway and curb cut width to 37’/40.67’ (W 20th Ave.) and 34’/42.8’ (W South
Park Ave.), where code allows a maximum entrance width of 30’ and curb cut width of
40’.
3. Increased number of driveways to 2 (western parcel) where code allows a maximum of 1
driveway for parcels with less than 600 feet of frontage.

ITEM VI: SIP SW corner W 20th Ave./W South Park Ave. 3
The site plan shows driveway connections to the parcels immediately to the east and southwest
of the subject site for shared access to future development of those sites. Cross access
agreements will be required for the proposed shared driveways.
The General Development Plan approval for the site included a base standard modification
(BSM) to allow reduced front setback along W 20th Ave. for the parking lot to 10.7’ where code
requires a 25’ setback. The site plan is meeting all other applicable setback requirements. A
BSM was also approved to allow a dumpster enclosure to be located between the building and
public right-of-way frontage (W. South Park Ave.). The dumpster enclosure will be constructed
of CMU block to match the proposed buildings.
Required Provided
Parking Spaces Minimum: 26 Maximum: 32 29
Impervious Surface Maximum: 70% of lot 67% of lot
Minimum Provided
Front Setback (20th Ave.) 25 ft. 10.7 ft. (pavement)
Front Setback (W. South Park Ave.) 25 ft. 46 ft. +/- (pavement)
Side Setback (east) 10 ft. 10 ft. (pavement)
Side Setback (west) 10 ft. 10 ft.
Side Setback (south) 10 ft. 10 ft.
The total impervious surface ratio for the site is under the maximum of 70% for the SMU
district. The site plan shows a total of 29 parking stalls, which meets the minimum parking stall
requirement of 1 space per 300 sq. ft. of gross floor area. The plan does not show a pedestrian
access to the public right-of-way. This will need to be added to the plan and can be addressed
during Site Plan Review.
Signage
The proposed site plan includes a ground sign along W 20th Ave. that appears to be meeting the
front and side setback requirements. The sign will be 15’ tall and 108 sq. ft. in area, meeting the
Page 3
ITEM VI: SIP SW corner W 20th Ave./W South Park Ave. 4
dimensional requirements for ground signs within the SMU district. The proposed building
elevations include wall signage on the front (north) and rear (south) elevations, which appear to
be within the maximum area of 1 sq. ft. per linear foot of building frontage for the SMU district.
Signage will be addressed under a separate building permit.

Building Foundation
The building foundation landscaping point requirement of 40 landscaping points per 100 linear
feet of building foundation is not being met for the proposed building. The plan is also short of
the requirement that 25% of the points be on the street-facing side of the building.
Page 4
ITEM VI: SIP SW corner W 20th Ave./W South Park Ave. 5
The plan utilizes perennial plantings to meet theses point requirements. However, the
perennial planting points have been over-calculated. The applicant can swap out these
perennial plantings with evergreen/deciduous shrubs to meet both of these point requirements.
Paved Area
The paved area requirement of 50 landscaping points per 10 parking stalls or 10,000 sq. ft. of
paved area is being met. The code further specifies 30% of all points will be devoted to tall trees
and 40% will be devoted to shrubs. Both of these requirements are being met.
A tall deciduous or shade tree is required at the end of all parking row ends and driveway
entrances. The plan is missing a deciduous tree at the northwest and southeast corners of the
parking lot that will need to be added. This can be addressed during Site Plan Review.
Street Frontage
Code requires 100 points per 100 feet of street frontage. The landscaping ordinance also
specifies that 50% of the required points must be devoted to medium trees. The approved GDP
included a condition that the final landscaping plan shall exceed the minimum point
requirement for street frontage landscaping to offset the reduced front setback along W 20th
Ave.
The landscape plan is short of the total street frontage point requirement for W 20th Avenue and
short of the medium tree point requirement along both street frontages. The applicant will need
to increase the street frontage landscaping along W 20th Ave. to exceed the minimum
requirement and also provide additional medium tree points along both frontages. Excess Yard
landscaping points may be reallocated to street frontage points to meet these requirements.
Yards
Code requires 20 landscaping points per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area. The provided yard
landscaping points exceed this requirement.
Storm Water Management/Utilities
The Department of Public Works has reviewed the plans and noted that final submitted plans
are required to be in full compliance with the requirements of the City of Oshkosh Municipal
Code Chapter 14 for storm water management.
Site Lighting
The applicant submitted a photometric plan for the site. The lighting levels meet the .4 foot-
candle minimum requirement for parking areas, with no more than .5 foot-candles of light
trespass at the property lines. The proposed 25’ light poles exceed the maximum light fixture
mounting height of 20’ for the SMU district. The light poles will need to be reduced to a 20’
maximum height. This can be addressed during the Site Plan Review process.

Building Facades
Section 30-243 of the zoning ordinance requires commercial buildings to be clad in 50% Class I
materials. The petitioner has provided building elevations for the building. The applicant has
provided a material list and material breakdown for the building for each facade. The specific
elevations breakdown is as follows:
North (front): Class I – 56.9% Class II – 43.1%
South (rear): Class I – 64.7% Class II – 35.3%
East (side): Class I – 67.8% Class II – 32.2%
West (side): Class I – 73.1% Class II – 26.9%
Brick will be utilized on all facades, along with glazing on the street-facing (north) façade, to
meet the 50% Class I requirement.

Overall Site
The submitted plans are consistent with the approved General Development Plan for the site.
Some adjustments to the landscaping and lighting plan are needed to meet code standards and
offset the approved BSM for setback reduction. Staff feels that the overall site is complimentary
to the surrounding area.
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 consider findings based on the
criteria established by Chapter 30-387 (C)(6):

Oshkosh OA, LLC Specific Plan Implementation - Narrative
The proposed project consists of redeveloping an existing commercial property into a new
commercial/retail development. The proposed development is located within an existing
commercial/retail mix area, therefore, this will be a suitable location for this development. This site is also
classified as “Mixed Use” in the City of Oshkosh’s Comprehensive plan, which also fits with the proposed
development of this site. Listed below are just some of the reasons why this will be beneficial development
for this area.
There is one proposed driveway located on W.20th Avenue and one driveway located on W. South Park
Avenue. Since the driveway will be shared, an access easement will be created so that both parcels will
have access to the site. The site plan proposes to close one driveway along W.20th Avenue will increase
safety along that roadway.
A new, more aesthetically pleasing building, which will meet City architectural requirements will be built
on these sites. This building will enhance the surrounding community and be compatible with other
buildings in the area.
The existing site is currently almost entirely impervious. With the proposed development, 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.
This project will be a stand-alone project and there will no phasing.
Please see sheet C2.0 for specific site statistics, including building coverage, landscape surface ratio, and
proposed staging area.
Given the unique shape of these parcels, the developer is requesting a PD zone for this property so that
the maximum amount of land can be to its fullest potential. Being a corner lot, a fair amount of the
useable space for this lot falls within current zoning setbacks where no development can occur. This
development will enhance a highly visible corner lot and provide a safer, more aesthetically pleasing
complex with new businesses offerings services and goods to the community.
Below is a list of requested exceptions from the Zoning Ordinance for this development:
• Rear setback distance along north property line to be 10.7’ in lieu of 25’ required setback.
No additional agreements, bylaws, or covenants relating to operational regulations will be provided for
this development.
The GDP for these parcels has not yet been approved, however, the overall layout shown in the SIP plan
for this project is consistent with layout of the northwest parcel in the GDP that was submitted previously.
Parking stall counts, driveways locations, building size, statistical data, green space areas and storm water
management areas shown in the SIP are consistent with what was submitted in the GDP. If any additional
comments or requirements are placed on the GDP once it has been reviewed, adjustments to the SIP
can be made.
