Applicable Ordinance Provisions: Criteria used for Conditional Use Permits are located in Section 30-382 of the Zoning Ordinance. Property Location and Background Information: The subject site is a vacant parcel located on the east side of Bradley Street approximately 500 feet north of West Waukau Avenue. The 7.85 acre property has a Heavy Industrial District (HI) zoning designation while the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends industrial development for the site. The surrounding area consists of industrial uses to the north and west, a cemetery to the south, and an active railroad to the east. Subject Site: Existing Land Use Zoning Outdoor storage of asphalt/concrete HI Recognized Neighborhood Organizations N/A Adjacent Land Use and Zoning: Existing Uses Zoning North Undeveloped/Cell tower HI South Institutional I West Industrial HI East Vacant/railroad HI Comprehensive Plan Land Use Recommendation Land Use 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Recommendation Industrial Page 1 Item III – CUP Amendment: 3010 Bradley St. ANALYSIS On October 24, 2017, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) was approved for a freight terminal, which consisted of a 39,000 sq. ft. paved area, at the subject site. However, the freight terminal was never developed. On March 24, 2020, a CUP was approved for an outdoor storage use for recycling/crushing of asphalt and concrete used by Vinton Construction as well as a gravel-surface storage area along the front of the lot to be used for storage of construction equipment, job trailers and semi- trailers. The approved CUP was not utilized before expiring within one year of approval. On August 24, 2021, a CUP was approved to renew the outdoor storage use for recycling/crushing of asphalt and concrete used by Vinton Construction along with storage of construction equipment, job trailers, and semi-trailers. Existing CUP Site Plan (2021) Use The applicant is requesting to amend the existing CUP for recycling/crushing of asphalt and concrete and storage of materials/equipment used by Vinton Construction. Vinton Construction is proposing to place a mobile concrete batch plant on the site. The existing recycling/crushing and storage uses will remain. According to the applicant, the concrete batch plant will be utilized for production of concrete for private and municipal road projects, and will be operated by 3 employees. The applicant has stated that dust control will be comprised of water usage and calcium chloride application. Sweeping equipment will be available to address any tracking on Bradley Street during operations. Noise during crushing operations will be limited between the hours of 6:30 AM through 7:00 PM. The proposed Heavy Industrial use is permitted by-right in the HI zoning district and is compatible with existing uses in the area. Page 2 Item III – CUP Amendment: 3010 Bradley St. Site Design Proposed Site Plan The proposed concrete batch plant consists of a 75’ X 100’ setup area. The proposed setup area meets minimum setback requirements of the HI district and will be over an existing gravel area which will not result in additional impervious surface on the site. The proposed concrete batch plant will have a height of 75’. This exceeds the maximum height for the HI district of 60’, however the zoning ordinance allows concrete mixing bins to exceed maximum height regulations. The proposed 75’ height is under the maximum Airport Zoning height of 76.1’ for this area. The applicant will need final approval for the Airport Zoning Height from Winnebago County. No changes are being proposed to the existing access to the site. Page 3 Item III – CUP Amendment: 3010 Bradley St. Parking The proposed heavy industrial use requires 1 parking space per employee on the largest work shift. The applicant will need to provide 3 parking spaces on the site, in addition to the 4 required parking spaces for the existing outdoor storage use. This can be addressed during Site Plan Review. Signage and Lighting The applicant has submitted a plan for a 4’ X 5’ sign on the fence along the entrance to the site. The sign will need to be a freestanding sign as code prohibits signs from being attached to fencing. Signage must meet setback requirements for the HI district or will be limited to 3’ height and 8 sq. ft. in area per directional sign standards. Signage will be addressed under a separate permit. A lighting plan has not been submitted. If additional lighting is needed for the concrete batch plant, a photometric plan will need to be provided to verify compliance with City lighting standards. Page 4 Item III – CUP Amendment: 3010 Bradley St. Landscaping As no building or additional parking area is being proposed for the site, no additional landscaping is required. Storm Water Management A storm water management plan has not been submitted. The Department of Public Works has noted that a storm water management plan shall be submitted and comply with all requirements of the City of Oshkosh Municipal Code Chapter 14 Storm Water Management. 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. Staff recommends approval of the proposed Conditional Use Permit Amendment for a concrete batch plant at 3010 Bradley Street as proposed with the findings listed above.
