ANALYSIS
Use
The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing building for a vehicle service and repair use
(Caliber Collision Auto Body Paint and Repair shop). Per the applicant’s narrative, all repair
activities will be conducted within the facility with overhead doors closed. Noise, dust and
odors will be confined to inside the building and will not be detectable at the lot lines. The
western portion of the existing parking lot as well as a proposed additional paved area will be
used for enclosed storage of vehicles. The proposed auto service facility is a conditional use in
the SMU district.
Site Design
The existing parking lot has a single access off of S Washburn Street. The plans include an
additional 7,698 square feet of additional pavement as well as a dumpster enclosure on the west
end of the parking lot. Six-inch curbing will be required for all new paved areas. This will be
verified during the Site Plan Review.
Required Provided
Front Setback (east) 25 ft. min. 28.7 ft. (existing
pavement)
Side Setback (south) 10 ft. min. ~4 ft.
Side Setback (north) 10 ft. min. 14 ft.
Rear Setback (west) 25 ft. min. 45 ft.
Impervious Surface 70% max. ~59.6%
Item I – CUP/Auto Repair Shop – 1465 S. Washburn Street 3
The proposed parking lot will meet setback requirements for the SMU district for the front,
sides (north), and rear property lines and will match the existing legal nonconforming setback
along the side (south) property line. The total proposed impervious surface area for the site will
be 59.6%, under the 70% maximum.
The provided plans show the vehicle storage area fully enclosed with 8’ tall chain link fencing
with privacy slats and sliding gate for access. The fence slats will need to be pre-woven or
interwoven and provide at least 90 opacity. An eight-foot tall chain link fence elevation has
been provided showing black vinyl interwoven privacy slats. This will be verified during site
plan review to ensure the slats meet the 90% opacity requirement.
Signage
The applicant’s submittal does not include signage. The narrative does state that signage will
be updated. All new signage will need to meet code requirements of the SMU District.
Lighting
A lighting plan has not been included with this request. Any changes to the existing site
lighting will need to be addressed during the site plan review process.
Storm Water Management
The applicant has been in contact with the Department of Public Works regarding storm water
management for the site. Plans will be required and reviewed during the Site Plan Review
process.
Landscaping
Paved area and bufferyard landscaping points are required for the proposed parking lot.
Landscape Plan
Item I – CUP/Auto Repair Shop – 1465 S. Washburn Street 4
Points Required Points Provided
Paved Areas 50 36 (1 tall tree)
Bufferyard 500 with 6’ tall solid fence/10’
setback
508 (14 tall trees, 8’tall solid
fence/45’ setback)
Total 550 544
Paved Areas
The provided landscaping plan is deficient of the code requirement of 50 paved area
landscaping points per 10,000 square feet of new paved area. Code further specifies that 30% of
the points shall be devoted to tall trees and 40% devoted to shrubs.
The plan shows 1 tree accounting for 36.3 points (including a 10% bonus for using native
species). This can be addressed during the site plan review process.
Bufferyard
The proposed use requires a 0.6 opacity bufferyard along the west property line as the site is
abutting an MR-12 zoning district. The applicant is providing sufficient evergreen tree
landscaping along with a 8’ solid fence along with a 45’ to 50’ setback to meet this requirement.
The applicant is also providing at least 50% of the required points on the exterior side of the
fencing per bufferyard requirements.
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.
Item I – CUP/Auto Repair Shop – 1465 S. Washburn Street 5
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Conditional Use Permit for an automobile service
facility at 1465 S. Washburn Street with the findings listed above and following condition:
1. Landscape plan shall be revised to increase the number of provided paved area
landscape points to a minimum of 50 points.

FROM: Bret Flory RE: Project Narrative – 1465 S. Washburn St. – Conditional Use Application
DATE: September 17, 2021 ______________________________________________________________________________
In anticipation of our upcoming arrival to the City of Oshkosh please allow this letter to serve as a description of this project and Caliber Collision. I. PROJECT NARRATIVE: Site consists of platted +/-1.86-acres of developed land, which is part of general plan zoned SMU - Suburban Mixed Use. Site has 2-way access point from S. Washburn St. We are requesting for a
Conditional Use permit to remodel an existing building to become a Caliber Collision Auto Body Paint and Repair shop at this location. It is the intent of the owner and all consultants to construct a quality project within the standards set by the City of Oshkosh for Building and Engineering Design.
a. Details about the type of proposed operation (including hours of operation) All repair activities will be conducted in-doors and completely screened from public view. Public
parking will located in the front drive/parking field. All vehicles received for repair will remain behind the screened wall. Vehicles that are taken in for repairs are typically admitted by tow truck which limits our customers coming to this location. b. Facility Information:
• Site Area: +/- 1.86 Acre Lot
• Bldg SF: +/-12,296 SF (existing)
• Hours of Operation. 7:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday
• Total Full-Time Employees on-site: approximately 18 to 22
• Yearly Salary Ranges: o Site Manager = $90K Base (+ incentive bonuses/commissions)
• Support/Office Admin Staff: 4-5 Count @ $25K average = $100K to $125K
• Junior Shop Techs = 10-12 Count @ $50K average = $500K to $600K
• Senior Shop Painters = 4 Count @ $110K average = $440K
• Anticipated Employee Base Payout = $1,220,000 to $1,445,000 c. Damage or nuisance arising from noise, smoke, odor, dust, vibration or Illumination. • Noise – The type of facility proposed shall be limited to vehicle body “prep”, parts replacement and finishing work room. Typical repairs include hood replacement, fender repair, hail damage,
light interior, molding and windshield replacement. Inherently, these types of repairs are not loud enough to project recognizable sound beyond the proposed property lines. Furthermore, this
Gary Turk Architects
Gary Turk Architects 879 Junction Drive ▪ Allen, Texas 75013 ▪ 972.398.6644 2
facility shall operate with all exterior doors closed. The shop contains a full HVAC System that shall provide climate control year-round. With all doors closed, there should be no nuisance to
neighboring properties in the way of noise. • Dust – Within the facility, light dust is to be expected. The amount of dust is akin to a classroom
chalkboard. Regularly scheduled cleaning ensures control. All sanding performed with a filtered vacuum assist sanding machine. o Exterior – the only dust that would be on this facility would be that which blew in from adjacent properties. This facility has adequate paving, perimeter landscaping and screening walls. Nothing that occurs within the premises this site generates dust. Any dust that enters the site would likely attach to perimeter landscaping and not pass through to the adjacent properties.
2. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT THE OPERATOR: As a multi-state/multi-operator of Body Shops, Caliber Collision is well versed in the procedures and requirements to divert any operational hazards. Prior to opening for business, Caliber Collision
will secure a Business License to operate said facility. Any hazardous material shall be documented, handled and/or stored per local, state and federal requirements The proposed facility (site and building) will be designed by licensed Architects/Engineers who are
thoroughly versed in Body Shop Designs. Final interior designs shall be designed by same Architects/Engineers. Interior Lighting, HVAC Ventilation, and Storm Sewer oil/sand interceptors shall be properly placed to facility safe conditions within and outside the entire property. These
designs shall receive City of Oshkosh a Plans Review/Permit Approval to ensure structural, life safety, ADA and Building Code compliance for the proposed operations. Furthermore, the operator implements specific operational and safety guidelines that secure on-
going daily assurance of employee, customer, property and surrounding area safety. These include: a) Drug Testing – Applicants are required to pass drug screening.
