HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem IV PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT APRIL 5, 2022 ITEM IV: GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AT THE 2300 BLOCK OF WITZEL AVENUE GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: Shawn Jandrey Property Owner: Glacier Dental Action(s) Requested: The applicant requests approval of a General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan to allow a dental clinic development at the 2300 Witzel Avenue. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the Zoning Ordinance. Property Location and Background Information: The subject site is an irregularly shaped 2 acre vacant lot, with frontage on Witzel Ave., west of the Westbrook Dr., and north of Graceland Dr. The property is zoned Neighborhood Mixed Use District with a Planned Development Overlay (NMU-PD). The surrounding area consists primarily of residential uses to the north, south, and east and commercial uses to the west along Witzel Ave. The 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends Neighborhood Commercial use for the subject area.

Personal or Professional Service uses are permitted in the NMU district. The proposed use is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use recommendation of Neighborhood Commercial for the area. Site Design/Access The site will utilize a single two-way access from Witzel Avenue, with parking areas on the east and north sides of the building. The dumpster enclosure will be located at the northeast corner of the parking lot. Required Provided Parking Spaces Minimum: 55 Maximum: 69 75 Impervious Surface Maximum: 50% of lot 47% of lot Building Height Maximum: 35’ 34’ 6” Page 2 ITEM IV: GDP.SIP 2300 Block Witzel Ave. 3 Minimum Provided Front Setback (Witzel Ave.) 25 ft. 26 ft. +/- (building) Side Setback (east) 7.5 ft. 17 ft.+/- (pavement) Side Setback (west) 7.5 ft. 106 ft. +/- (pavement) Rear Setback (north) 25 ft. 26 ft.+/- (pavement) The applicant is meeting setback and impervious surface requirements for the NMU district. The height of the building will be under the maximum building height for the NMU district, with the exception of the top portion of the stair/elevator bulkhead, which is permitted to exceed the maximum height requirement. The applicant is requesting a base standard modification (BSM) for increased parking to 75 spaces, where the code maximum is 69 spaces (1.25 spaces per 300 sq. ft. of gross floor area). According to the applicant, the additional parking is needed to accommodate 1.5 patients per treatment room as well as staff, including business admin, marketing, call centers, reception, bookkeepers, hygienists, doctors, assistants, and other clinical team members. The additional parking will also account for patients arriving early and late for appointments to ensure that spaces are available for incoming patients as the nearest available on-street parking is on Westbrook Drive. The proposed site plan was reviewed by Plan Commission at a workshop on March 15, 2022. Plan Commission did not have concerns with the additional parking stalls. Staff is supportive of the proposed BSM as the additional stalls will serve to prevent overflow parking on the neighboring residential street (Westbrook Dr.), as on-street parking is not allowed along Witzel Ave. To offset this BSM, staff is recommending 30 additional paved landscaping points beyond the code requirement. Storm Water Management/Utilities The Department of Public Works has reviewed the plans and noted that finalized storm water management plans will need to be submitted and approved as part of the Site Plan Review processes. Landscaping The applicant has provided a landscaping plan including points for building foundation, paved areas, street frontage, yards and bufferyards. Page 3 ITEM IV: GDP.SIP 2300 Block Witzel Ave. 4 Points Required Points Provided Building Foundation 178 (45 street side, 89 main entrance side) 205 (66 street side, 109 main entrance side) Paved Area 375 (112.5 tall trees, 150 shrubs) 412 (200 tall trees, 178 shrubs) Street Frontage 168 (84 medium trees) 225 (90 medium trees) Yards 372 390 Bufferyard (north) 95 (with 4’ tall wood rail fence) 154 (4’ tall wood rail fence provided) Bufferyard (east) 0 (with 6’ tall solid fencing) 0 (6’ tall solid fencing provided) Total 1,188 1,386 Page 4 ITEM IV: GDP.SIP 2300 Block Witzel Ave. 5 Building Foundation The plan meets the total point requirement of 40 points per 100 linear feet of building foundation. The plan also meets the requirement that 50% of the required points shall be placed on the side of the main entrance and 25% placed on the street-facing side. Paved Area The paved area requirement of 50 landscaping points per 10 parking stalls or 10,000 sq. ft. of paved area is being exceeded by 37 points, which serves to offset the BSM for an additional 6 parking stalls. The code further specifies 30% of all points will be devoted to medium or tall trees and 40% will be devoted to shrubs, which is also being met. A deciduous tree is required at all parking row ends and intermediate parking row islands. Trees will need to be added or relocated to 5 parking row ends that are missing trees. This can be addressed during the site plan review process. 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 proposed landscaping street frontage landscaping is meeting both of these requirements. Yards Code requires 20 landscaping points per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area. The plan exceeds this requirement. Bufferyards A 0.1 opacity bufferyard is required along the north property line and a 0.2 opacity bufferyard is required along the east property line, as the site is abutting multi-family (north) and two-family (east) residential zoning districts. The 0.1 opacity bufferyard requirement is being met along the north property line with a minimum 10’ bufferyard width along with 4’ tall wood rail fencing and 38 evergreen tree landscaping points per 100 linear feet. The 0.2 opacity bufferyard requirement is being met along the east property line with a minimum 10’ bufferyard width along with 6’ tall solid cedar fencing. Signage Signage plans have not been included with this request. The proposed site plan includes a monument sign along Witzel Avenue and the building elevations show a wall sign on the east facade. The monument sign appears to meet the required 25’ setback and will be limited to 50 sq. ft. in area and 10 ft. in height, per NMU district signage standards. Wall signage will be limited to 1 sq. ft. of sign area per linear foot of building frontage. Signage plans will be addressed under a separate permit. Page 5 ITEM IV: GDP.SIP 2300 Block Witzel Ave. 6 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 light fixtures will be full cut-offs and the light poles will be 23’ tall, which is the maximum light fixture mounting height (including base) in the NMU district. Building Facades Building Materials Section 30-243 of the zoning ordinance requires commercial buildings to be clad in 50% Class I materials, with the exception of rear facades not facing a public street. The petitioner has provided elevations for the building as well as a material list and material breakdown for each building facade. The specific elevations breakdown is as follows: North (rear): Class I – 23% Class II & III – 77% South (side): Class I – 61% Class II & III – 39% East (front): Class I – 52% Class II & III – 48% West (front): Class I – 65% Class II & III – 35% The proposed building elevations meet the 50% Class I requirement for the front and side facades, in conformance with the design standard requirements for commercial buildings. Page 6 ITEM IV: GDP.SIP 2300 Block Witzel Ave. 7 Overall Site The applicant is requesting a BSM for increased parking. To offset these requested code exception, the applicant has exceeded all landscaping requirements, with an overall landscaping point total at about 117% of the total points required. Staff is comfortable that the applicant has adequately offset the requested BSM and the overall site is compatible with 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 make the following findings based on the criteria established by Chapter 30-387 (C)(6): (a) The proposed Planned Development project is consistent with the overall purpose and intent of this Chapter. (b) The proposed Planned Development project is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and other area plans. (It is the responsibility of the City to determine such consistency.) (c) The proposed Planned Development project would maintain the desired relationships between land uses, land use densities and intensities, and land use impacts in the environs of the subject site. (d) Adequate public infrastructure is or will be available to accommodate the range of uses being proposed for the Planned Development project, including but not limited to 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. (i) The proposed Planned Development project will produce significant benefits in terms of environmental design and significant alternative approaches to addressing development performance that relate to and more than compensate for any requested exceptions/base standard modifications variation of any standard or regulation of this Chapter. Staff recommends approval of the General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan with the findings listed above and the proposed following conditions: 1. BSM to allow increased parking to 75 stalls, where code allows a maximum of 69 stalls. 2. Final landscaping plans shall be approved by the Department of Community Development. Page 7 Page 8 Page 9 Page 10 Specific Implementation Plan (SIP) Narrative Glacier Dental plans to construct a 8,393 square foot dental clinic on Parcel 90614210000. The property is located north of Witzel Ave, west of Westbrook Drive, and east of Sawyer Creek, within the City of Oshkosh, Winnebago County, Wisconsin (SW ¼, NE ¼, Section 21, T18N, R16E). The project includes a dental clinic, parking lot, sidewalk, and associated landscaping. The proposed area of disturbance is approximately 1.69 acres. The zoning standard that would not be met by the proposed SIP is the maximum number of parking stalls. The proposed dental clinic building is 8,393 square feet and is two stories. The zoning standard allows between 56 (minimum) and 70 (maximum) parking stalls. Glacier Dental is proposing 75 parking stalls and the following justification has been provided by the dental clinic designer: “Our calculations are basically 1.5 patients per treatment room (1 patient per op, per hour) you will have patients showing up early and late to appointments. Then we double for staff (including business admin, marketing, call centers, reception, managers, bookkeepers, etc.) to go along with the assistants, hygienists, doctors, and other clinical team members. That would get me to 75 spaces. We prefer to plan for the worst-case scenario so that when it does occur, there is still some spaces available for those new patients coming in. This is pretty standard for a highly productive office of this size.” Furthermore, the nearest on-street parking is located south of Witzel Avenue on Graceland Drive. If a parking lot overflow situation arises, customers would be required to cross a major arterial street (i.e. safety consideration).
