HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem IV PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT JUNE 20, 2023 ITEM IV: GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN & SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN APPROVAL FOR A MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT ON THE EAST SIDE OF OREGON STREET SOUTH OF WEST RIPPLE AVENUE GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: Aaron Breitenfeldt – Robert E Lee & Associates Owner: Premier Ripple Road II, LLC Action(s) Requested: The applicant requests approval of a General Development Plan (GDP) and Specific Implementation Plan (SIP) for a multi-family development. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the Zoning Ordinance. Property Location and Type: The subject property is a 16.45-acre lot located on the east side of Oregon Street, south of West Ripple Avenue. The site is zoned Multi-family Residential - 12 District with Planned Development Overlay (MR-12-PD) and the surrounding area consists primarily of residential and vacant/agricultural land uses. The 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends Medium and High Density Residential uses for the subject area.

Ripple Ave. 2 ANALYSIS Use On February 14, 2017 Common Council approved the existing 96-unit multi-family development immediately the north of the subject site (Ripple Avenue Estates Phase 1). The applicant is now proposing a multi-family development on the subject site for eight 12-unit apartment buildings (Phase 2), including an 826 sq. ft. office building. The proposed 12-unit apartments are permitted in the MR-12 district and the 96 units are within the maximum of 3,600 sq. ft. per dwelling unit (102 units). A neighborhood meeting was held on May 4, 2023 to discuss the proposed development. Neighboring property owners voiced concerns primarily related to storm water impacts on the surrounding area, privacy and landscape screening, site lighting, and property maintenance. Site Design/Access The site will be accessed from the existing Phase 1 driveway off of Oregon Street to the north. A cross access agreement will be required for the shared driveway access. The total impervious surface ratio for the site will be about 33.5%, which is well under the maximum of 60% for the MR-12 district. Parking for the site will consist of 103 surface parking spaces and a one-car attached garage for each unit (96), which exceeds the minimum requirement of 1 parking stall per unit plus 1 guest parking stall per 4 units. The site plan is meeting all setback requirements for the MR-12 district. Page 2 ITEM IV: GDP SIP SE Corner Oregon St. & W. Ripple Ave. 3 Required Provided Parking Spaces Minimum: 120 199 (103 surface, 96 covered) Impervious Surface Maximum: 60% of lot 33.5% of lot Minimum Provided Front Setback (Oregon St.) 25 ft. +/- 105 ft. (pavement) Side Setback (west) 10.5 ft. 33.7 ft. (pavement) Side Setback (north) 10.5 ft. 44.6 ft. Side Setback (south) 10.5 ft. 81 ft. Rear Setback (east) 25 ft. +/- 168 ft. (pavement) The provided plans show a 5,025 sq. ft. recreational green space centrally located on the site. This meets the minimum recreational space requirement of 200 sq. ft. plus 25 sq. ft. per bedroom, totaling 2,625 sq. ft. for the site. Two refuse enclosures are shown on the site plan, with one being centrally located and one on the east end of the site. The enclosures will be constructed of 6’ tall cedar fencing, meeting height and material requirements for refuse enclosures. Storm Water Management/Utilities The applicant has been in contact with the Department of Public Works regarding storm water management for the area. The final storm water management plans will be approved during the Site Plan Review process. Landscaping Page 3 ITEM IV: GDP SIP SE Corner Oregon St. & W. Ripple Ave. 4 Points Required Points Provided Building Foundation 2,264 (283 per building) 1,709 (213.7 per building) Paved Area 790 (237 tall trees, 316 shrubs) 1,014 (360 tall trees, 400 shrubs) Street Frontage (Oregon St.) 160 (80 medium trees) 100 (45 medium trees) Yards 1,620 1,660 Bufferyard 0.2 opacity Berm/Fence Total 4,834 4,483 Building Foundation The proposed building foundation landscaping is short of the point requirement of 60 points per 100 linear feet of building foundation. The plan includes perennial plantings that have been miscalculated. The applicant can exchange the perennial plantings for low deciduous shrubs to meet this point requirement. 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, which is also being met. A tall deciduous/shade tree is required at the ends of all parking rows. The plan is missing 19 parking row end trees. These trees will need to be added and 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 plan is deficient of the required points. The applicant will need to provide an additional 60 street frontage landscaping points, with at least 35 of the points devoted to medium trees. This can be addressed during Site Plan Review. Yards Code requires 20 landscaping points per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area. The provided yard landscaping points exceed this requirement. A group of trees is shown within the required recreation area. These trees will need to be located outside of the recreation area. This will be verified during Site Plan Review. Bufferyards As the site is abutting single family residential land uses to the west, a 0.2 opacity bufferyard is required along the west side property lines. The landscape plan shows a 5’ tall berm along these property lines as well as 6’ tall vinyl fencing to the north and south of the berm. The areas Page 4 ITEM IV: GDP SIP SE Corner Oregon St. & W. Ripple Ave. 5 with 6’ vinyl fencing have 33.7’ – 76’ wide buffer yards, exceeding the minimum of 10’ wide bufferyard with 6’ tall solid fence provided. The areas with 5’ tall berm provided have approximately 100’ – 140’ wide bufferyard, exceeding the minimum of 40’ wide bufferyard with 5’ tall berm. Bufferyard area Signage A sign plan has been submitted for a monument sign along the access driveway to the site, meeting setback requirements for the MR-12 district. The applicant is requesting a BSM to allow increased sign height and area. The proposed sign will have a height of 7’ 5”, where code allows a maximum sign height of 5’ in multi-family districts and will include a 24 sq. ft. oval identification sign and a 3.3 sq. ft. informational panel (approx. 27 sq. ft. of total sign area), where code allows a maximum sign area of 25 sq. ft. Page 5 ITEM IV: GDP SIP SE Corner Oregon St. & W. Ripple Ave. 6 Staff is supportive of a BSM to allow this increase in height and area as the sign will match the Phase 1 monument sign. Staff also feels that increased sign height/area is appropriate in this case due to the relatively high traffic speed in this area as compared to multi-family districts in more urbanized areas of the City. To offset the BSM, the applicant is providing 32 shrub landscaping points around the base of the sign. Site Lighting The applicant submitted a preferred photometric plan only including wall-pack fixtures along with 3 light poles along the entrance driveway. A BSM is required for this lighting plan as lighting levels are significantly below the maximum of 0.4 fc, showing 0.0 fc for much of the parking and drive areas. According to the applicant, this plan is intended to reduce visible lighting on the site from the neighboring residences to the west. The applicant has also submitted a code-compliant lighting plan to be utilized if the BSM is denied for the reduced lighting levels of the preferred plan. Planning staff discussed the proposed reduced lighting with the Oshkosh Police Department. The Police Department has safety concerns related to the reduced lighting levels and is recommending the minimum lighting level of 0.4 fc be met for parking and circulation areas to provided a safe environment for the occupants. Therefore, staff is recommending denial of the BSM to allow reduced lighting levels. The provided code-compliant lighting plan utilizes 18’ tall light poles with 2’ base, which is within the maximum light fixture height of 20’ for the MR- 12 district. The plan meets the lighting level requirement of 0.4 fc for all parking/circulation areas and does not exceed 0.5 fc at the property lines. Page 6 ITEM IV: GDP SIP SE Corner Oregon St. & W. Ripple Ave. 7 Building Facades Apartment building elevations Page 7 ITEM IV: GDP SIP SE Corner Oregon St. & W. Ripple Ave. 8 Office building elevations. The apartment buildings are two-story buildings with a consistent design with the Phase 1 apartment buildings. The proposed exterior is primarily Dutch lap siding along with a brick veneer knee wall. The inclusion of dormers, varying roof heights and porches/balconies helps to break up the overall mass of the main roof and provide some building articulation. Staff recommends that the sleeves for the in-wall air conditioning units and the wood porches/balconies be painted/stained or colored to match or compliment the building’s exterior façade color. Street-facing facades of multi-family buildings are required to have 20% of the façade area devoted to windows and doors. The applicant is requesting a BSM to allow reduced door/window area on the street-facing (west) façade of Building 1 to 8.5%. According to the applicant, the proposed BSM is being requested to provide consistency with the Phase 1 street- facing elevations. They also note that the reduced door/window area should not have an adverse impact due to the large setback of 333’ from the public right-of-way. Staff is supportive of the reduced door/window area as it will provide a consistent appearance with the Phase 1 development. Also, the ground-floor attached garage areas limit the ability to provide additional glazing. Staff feels that the increased setback along with yard landscaping including 3 tall deciduous trees between the building and public right-of-way serve to offset the requested BSM. Overall Site The applicant is requesting BSMs related to reduced door/window area on one street-facing building façade and increased sign height and area. Staff is supportive of these BSMs as it will provide consistent appearance with the existing Phase 1 development. To offset the requested Page 8 ITEM IV: GDP SIP SE Corner Oregon St. & W. Ripple Ave. 9 BSMs, the applicant has provided increased landscaping. Staff is comfortable that the applicant has adequately offset the requested BSMs and the overall site will be compatible with the surrounding area. FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Specific Implementation Plan, 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. (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. A cross-access agreement for the shared driveway shall be recorded with the Winnebago County Register of Deeds. 2. Base Standard Modification to allow a 7’ 5” tall monument sign, where code limits monument signs in multi-family districts to a maximum height of 5’. 3. Base Standard Modification to allow a ground sign with 27.3 sq. ft. of signage, where code limits ground sign area in multi-family districts to a maximum of 25 sq. ft. 4. Base Standard Modification to allow reduced door/window area on the street-facing (west) façade of Building 1 to 8.5%, where windows and doors shall comprise a minimum of 20% of the total façade area of facades facing the street. 5. Air conditioning units and wood porches/balconies on the structures facades shall be painted/stained or colored to match or compliment the building’s exterior façade color. Page 9 ITEM IV: GDP SIP SE Corner Oregon St. & W. Ripple Ave. 10 6. Final landscaping plan shall be reviewed and approved by the Department of Community Development.
