ANALYSIS
Use
This property is currently an industrial site that was previously used by Oshkosh Defense for
modifying and testing government owned vehicles. The applicant had requested adding a
Planned Development Overlay to allow the addition of personal storage facilities at a vacant
portion of the property. Personal storage facilities are a Conditional Use in the HI District. The
personal storage facilities will consist of four indoor climate-controlled, secured self-storage
buildings with a combined size of 92,005 square feet. The north end of Building A also has a 30-
foot by 40’, 1,200 Square foot office for on-site staff. The facility will be monitored both on site
and remotely via a camera system and the facility will be staffed full-time on a seasonal basis
with part-time staff in the winter months. Hours of operation will be 9:00am to 6:00pm Monday
through Friday and 9:00am to 3:00pm on Saturdays. The office is located in the north end of
Page 2
ITEM V - B – GDP SIP – 3300 Medalist Drive 3
building A, outside of the security gate. The buildings will be segregated into individual units
that are 12 feet to 15 feet wide and from 30 feet to 50 feet in depth, with a total of 143 units.
Site Design
The proposed personal storage units will be located at the southeast corner of the property which
is primarily undeveloped except for an approximately 25,000 square foot parking area. Four
buildings are being proposed and are arranged to have the overhead doors facing to the inward
to the development except for the north facing building that is screened from the street by an
existing office building. The facility is designed primarily for RV/camper storage that is behind a
six-foot tall security fence.
There will also be 24 units
that are accessible without
entering the fenced area
(north side units of Building
C).

Page 3
ITEM V - B – GDP SIP – 3300 Medalist Drive 4
The submitted site plan shows a reconfiguration of the existing parking lot, reducing the number
of stalls from 67 to 58. The applicant requests, in the narrative, a Base Standard Modification
(BSM) for reduced parking as the exiting office building, based on its size, requires 67 stalls (1
stall per 300 square feet of gross floor area). However, over 230 additional parking stalls are
available elsewhere on the property to the west providing parking for up to 230 employees at the
plant’s maximum shift. A covered pedestrian walkway also connects the office’s parking lot with
the manufacturing building’s northern parking lot. Therefore, ample parking is available to meet
code and a BSM is not required.
The site plan shows 30 reconfigured stalls as a single row adjacent to an 18-foot wide by 270-foot
long curbed green space. The size of the green space eliminates the need for landscaped planter
islands at each end. However, code does require one intermediate island for every 20 continuous
parking spaces. This will be addressed at site plan review.
Signage
The applicant’s submittal does not include additional signage. Currently the site has one
monument sign on Medalist Drive serving the manufacturing building. Code does allow one
ground sign for each right-of-way frontage so a second ground sign can be placed on W. 33rd
Avenue if desired. Any new signage shall meet base code standards allowed in the HI Zone
District.
Lighting
A lighting plan has not been provided with the submittal. Lighting must be provided along all
drive aisles and parking areas with a minimum of 0.4 foot-candle illumination with a maximum
of 0.5 foot-candles at property lines. This will be addressed during Site Plan Review.
Storm Water Management
Storm water management plans have been submitted and are under review by the Department of
Public Works. Final storm water management plans will be reviewed during the Site Plan
Review process.
Landscaping
Paved Area, Foundation and Yard landscaping points are required for the proposed storage
buildings and pavement additions.

Landscape Plan
Points Required Points Provided
Paved Areas 212.6 Not Calculated
Foundation 1042 Not Calculated
Yard 920 Not Calculated
Total 2174.6 2543.8 Per Plan
Placement of foundation plantings along both long sides of buildings C and D, the east side of
Building A/B and the north side Building E makes it impractical or impossible due to overhead
doors consuming most of the facades. Instead, the applicant is requesting a BSM to allow
placement of a large portion of the required landscaping be placed around the perimeter of the
newly developed area to act as screening. The plan shows bulk of the required landscaping to be
placed at the ends of the storage buildings and locations that offer the most visual impact.
Foundation plantings are largely absent on the south side of Building E as it is adjacent to the
site’s detention basin and undevelopable land further to the south. Required plantings here
would not provide any visual enhancement to the site.
Page 5
ITEM V - B – GDP SIP – 3300 Medalist Drive 6
The Department of Public Works recently commented during review that landscaping placed at
the east ends of Buildings C, D & E may be problematic. A 36-inch storm sewer is proposed to
located at the same location of the plantings. Also, the grading and drainage plan shows a
proposed berm. The grade of the berm could make establishment of plantings difficult and any
ground coverage (mulch/stone) will wash away.
Section 30-251(F)(1) of the Zoning Ordinance allows the Director of Community Development or
designee to make modifications to the landscape plan based on unusual conditions on the site or
conflicts with utilities. Staff will work with the applicant to modify the plan to achieve, at a
minimum, the amount of landscape points proposed (2543.8 points). Plantings will be located
where it will have the most visual impact while at the same time, screen the buildings.
Building Facades
Section 30-244 of the zoning ordinance requires industrial buildings to be clad in Class I, II or III
materials. The ordinance also states that for all facades facing a public street shall be composed of
at least 15% Class I materials.
The applicant has provided building elevations for the storage buildings, which will be clad
mostly with horizontal micro-ribbed metal wall panels with concealed fasteners, a Class III
Material. All four builds incorporate a wainscot of nichiha brick siding on the ends facing the
public street or adjacent properties. A BSM is being requested for buildings C, D and E as the
street facing facades do not meet the minimum Class I material requirement.
Building North Elevation* South Elevation East Elevation West Elevation
A/B 22.0% Class I
(with windows)
21.3% Class I 3.8% Class I 1.1% Class I

*Street facing

ITEM V - B – GDP SIP – 3300 Medalist Drive 8
Due to the minimal visibility from neighboring properties and screening provided by the office
building, staff is supportive of a BSM to allow the reduction of Class I materials as indicated. The
applicant has exceeded the 15% Class I material requirement on the north elevation of Building A,
which is closest and most visible from the public right-of-way. The BSM request can be offset by
the additional landscaping proposed which is 17% more than what is require by code.
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.
Page 8
ITEM V - B – GDP SIP – 3300 Medalist Drive 9
(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
