HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem II PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT FEBRUARY 20, 2024 ITEM II: SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AMENDMENT REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY CAMPGROUND AT SOUTHWEST CORNER OF WEST RIPPLE AVENUE & SOUTH WASHBURN STREET (PARCELS 1309141000, 1367000000, 1367490000, & 1367500000) GENERAL INFORMATION Petitioner: Cory Bliss (Oshkosh Festivals, LLC, d/b/a XRoads41) Owner: Oshkosh Festivals, LLC and JSC Acres LLC Action(s) Requested: The applicant requests approval of a Specific Implementation Plan amendment for a temporary campground at the southwest corner of West Ripple Avenue & South Washburn Street. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the Zoning Ordinance. Background Information Property Location and Type: The subject site consists of four vacant parcels totaling 68 acres located at the southwest corner of West Ripple Avenue and South Washburn Street that were previously used for camping, parking, and ingress/egress at Ford Festival Park. The properties all have a zoning designation of Suburban Mixed Use District with a Planned Development Overlay (SMU-PD). The surrounding area consists predominately of undeveloped land, along with commercial, industrial, and institutional uses. The 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends park use for the subject site. In 2006, the Country USA event was relocated from the County’s Sunnyview Park grounds on the northeast side of the City to Ford Festival Park on the City’s southwest side at roughly the southwest corner of Ripple Road and South Washburn Street. The property containing the festival grounds is comprised of approximately 260 acres of land owned by multiple owners and is located in both the City of Oshkosh and Town of Nekimi with the vast majority of the properties located within the Town. Activities located within the City were camping, parking, and ingress/egress. The Conditional Use Permit/Planned Development request was granted on July 26, 2005, with conditions including but not limited to a 2016 CUP/PD expiration date and mid-use review. In 2011, the petitioner returned to the Plan Commission and Common Council for a required mid-use review primarily to determine if any additional conditions would be needed to improve the operations of the events. An approval for the continued use of the CUP/Planned Development was approved on July 13, 2011 with additional conditions. On May 24, 2016, Common Council approved renewal of the CUP/PD through 2026. The site was last utilized in 2019, and therefore the CUP/PD has expired. Page 1 Item II–SIP amend for 4125 S. Washburn St. Subject Site Existing Land Use Zoning Vacant SMU-PD Adjacent Land Use and Zoning Existing Uses Zoning North Commercial SMU-PD South Agriculture SMU East Interstate-41 / South Washburn Street West Vacant Town of Nekimi Comprehensive Plan Land Use Recommendation Land Use 2040 Land Use Recommendation Park ANALYSIS The applicant is requesting Specific Implementation Plan (SIP) amendment approval to establish a use similar to the previous use. The applicant is requesting to utilize the subject area for 10 temporary events per year with each event not to exceed 8 days. The concert performance area will remain in the Town of Nekimi, with the four properties located within the City being utilized for camping and access to the performance area. The applicant expects festivals to have around 25,000 in daily attendance, 10,000 onsite parking capacity, and 2,200 campsites. They project future years to have daily attendance of 40,000+, 10,000+ onsite parking capacity, and excess of 3,500 campsites. The area with the City’s jurisdiction is approximately 63 acres and contains the main entrance, festival grounds signage, entrance waterfall feature, parking, and campgrounds. The applicant intends to hold events between the months of April and November. The use of the subject properties is considered a temporary campground, which is not permitted in the Suburban Mixed Use (SMU) District. Staff is supportive of a BSM to allow the temporary campground use, but is recommending a condition that the temporary campground be limited to 5 events per year and only be used when a City-issued special event permit is active. Given the temporary nature of the use and historical use of approximately 3 events per year, staff feels that a maximum of 5 events, of up to 8 days each, per year is appropriate. If the intensity of the temporary use grows beyond 5 events it is appropriate for the City of Oshkosh to re-evaluate- the uses impact prior to possibly allowing more events through a Planned Development amendment. Page 2 Item II–SIP amend for 4125 S. Washburn St. Proposed Site Plan Page 3 Item II–SIP amend for 4125 S. Washburn St. Site Design/Access The site is accessed from a single primary entrance within the City on South Washburn Street and 5 access points from West Ripple Avenue in the Town of Nekimi. Two gated emergency entrances are also shown along South Washburn Street within the City. Staff is recommending a condition that only one primary access be permitted off of South Washburn Street and that the additional two access points are gated and used for emergency access only. The applicant is requesting base standard modifications (BSM) to allow the temporary campground use without code-compliant parking stalls, where code requires two parking spaces per campsite. Along with this, the applicant is requesting BSMs to allow gravel drive aisles and grass parking areas, where code requires all parking/drive areas to be hard surface (concrete/asphalt). BSMs are also being requested to allow parking/drive areas without curbing, lighting, and striping. A BSM is also required to allow the commercial use without the code-required pedestrian/bicycle access provided to the right- of-way. Staff is supportive of these requested BSMs as they are unique to the proposed temporary campground use and will be utilized only on a temporary/seasonal basis for events. The proposed site design is consistent with the functionality of the site for previous events. Storm Water Management/Utilities The Department of Public Works has noted that a plan is needed for ditching/storm water improvements. They also noted that access to the site will need to be coordinated with a safety plan. Landscaping No new landscaping is being proposed for the site. Code requires street frontage landscaping for developed areas of the site and paved area landscaping for parking areas. The applicant is requesting BSMs to allow the temporary campground use without the required street frontage and paved area landscaping. Staff does not have concerns with the required landscaping not being provided as the proposed use of the site is temporary in nature and permanent hard surfaces/structures are not being developed. Signage The applicant has submitted plans for a two-sided 11’ X 36’ electronic message center (EMC) sign on the south side of the South Washburn Street entrance along with a two-sided 11’ X 36’ static sign along South Washburn Street on the northern parcel. These two permanent signs would be in addition to the existing monument sign located at the entrance on the southern parcel (91367500000). Both of the proposed signs have an overall height of 30’. The zoning ordinance allows up to 400 sq. ft. of signage for each of these parcels. However, electronic message boards are limited to one per lot with a maximum area of 100 sq. ft. Page 4 Item II–SIP amend for 4125 S. Washburn St. Page 5 Item II–SIP amend for 4125 S. Washburn St. A BSM is being requested to allow the proposed 396 sq. ft. EMC sign. Staff is supportive of the increased EMC size due the large scale of the site and events. The EMC will allow the applicant to change messages to accommodate the various events at the site. Staff is comfortable that the applicant has offset the BSM by only providing signage on two of the three parcels with South Washburn Street frontage. The applicant would otherwise have the ability to have another 400 sq. ft. ground sign on the middle parcel (91309141000). Signage displays must be directly related to on-site events. The applicant is requesting a total of 1,800 sq. ft. of temporary signage, including 800 sq. ft. of temporary signage over 8’ tall, up to 20’ tall. Code allows a maximum of one board/banner sign per lot or one waving sign per street frontage with a maximum area of 32 sq ft. and maximum height of 8’ for board/banner signs and 20’ for waving signs. According to the applicant, the increased signage will allow for a possible larger sign area at, around, and above the vehicle entrance way to greet event patrons and sponsors. By code the applicant would be permitted three temporary signs for a total of 96 sq. ft. The requested 1800 sq. ft is almost 19 times larger than base code. While staff understands the unique nature of the development and agrees additional temporary signage may be warranted, there is no justification for allowing the requested amount of temporary signage. Staff feels it is appropriate to allow temporary signs within the Page 6 Item II–SIP amend for 4125 S. Washburn St. maximum height of 8’ for board/banner signs and 20’ for waving (feather) signs. Staff is supportive of BSM to allow increased signage height up to 20’ for the gateway entrance. In exchange for the increased temporary sign height staff is proposing the gateway entrance sign to be setback a minimum of 120’ from South Washburn Street. Staff is also recommending a BSM to allow up to 835 sq. ft. of temporary signage. 675 sq. ft. of the total temporary signage would be accounted for by the gateway entrance and an additional four 5’x8’ temporary signs. Staff is recommending a condition that temporary signs are only placed on the site when a City-issued special event permit is active for the site and all temporary signage displays must be directly related to on-site events. In summary, this is the proposed allowed signage on site: Permanent Signage - Existing monument sign on parcel 91367500000 - 1 x 400 sq ft. EMC sign on parcel 91367500000 - 1 x 400 sq ft. ground sign on parcel 91367000000 - No permanent signage on parcels 91309141000 or 91367490000 Temporary Signage - Temporary signs of up to 835 sq ft. may be collectively used on any of the four parcels. - Of the allowed 835 sq ft. of temporary signage, 675 sq ft. may be used for one temporary gateway sign on parcel 91367500000 - The temporary gateway sign may be up to 20’ in height. All other temporary board and banner signs on site shall be limited to 8’ height. Temporary feather signs shall be limited to 20’ height. 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.). The proposed temporary campground/event site is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommendation of “Park” as it will be utilized for public events/recreation. (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. The proposed temporary campground is compatible with surrounding vacant and agricultural uses. (e) The proposed Planned Development project will incorporate appropriate and adequate buffers and transitions between areas of different land uses and development densities/intensities. The temporary campground is meeting all applicable setback requirements and the use is an appropriate transition to surrounding properties that consist predominantly of vacant and agricultural uses. (g) The proposed architecture and character of the proposed Planned Development project is compatible with adjacent/nearby development. The temporary campground is compatible with Page 7 Item II–SIP amend for 4125 S. Washburn St. surrounding development and uses, including temporary lodging to the north/east of the site and EAA event grounds to the northeast. (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. Limiting the timeframe of the temporary campground use and limiting the overall sign area serves to compensate for requested base standard modifications. Staff recommends approval of the Specific Implementation Plan Amendment with the findings listed above and with the proposed following conditions: 1. Base Standard Modification to allow temporary campground use during permitted Special Events, not to exceed 5 events per calendar year with each event lasting no more than 8 days (which collectively is a maximum of no more than 40 calendar days of temporary campground use per year; 5 calendar events x 8 days = 40 days). Temporary campground use shall only occur during events that have received a Special Event permit through the City of Oshkosh. Further, no temporary campground use shall occur during the months of December through March. 2. Base Standard Modification to allow a 400 sq. ft. electronic message center (EMC) sign on parcel 91367500000. In addition to the EMC sign and the existing monument sign on parcel 91367500000, only one additional 400 sq ft. ground sign shall be permitted on parcel 91367000000. No ground signs shall be permitted on parcel 91309141000 or 91367490000 3. Base Standard Modification to allow more than one temporary sign per lot and up to 835 sq. ft. of temporary signage total for the four lots within the City. Temporary signage may only be displayed during permitted Special Events. 4. Base Standard Modification to allow increased height of one temporary gateway entrance sign of 20’ in height on parcel 91367500000. Further the temporary gateway entrance sign shall be setback a minimum of 120’ from South Washburn Street and have a maximum sign area of up to 675 sq. ft. The temporary gate way sign shall be counted against/deducted from the 835 sq. ft. of allowed temporary signage on site (See Condition #3 above). The temporary gateway sign may only be displayed during permitted Special Events. 5. All signage displayed must be directly related to on-site events. Off-premise advertising signs, whether temporary or permanent, are strictly prohibited. 6. Given the limited and temporary nature of the campground usage on site (as described in Condition #1) the following Base Standard Modifications are allowed: a. Base Standard Modification to allow temporary campground use with 0 designated parking stalls per campsite. Page 8 Item II–SIP amend for 4125 S. Washburn St. b. Base Standard Modification to allow unpaved parking and internal drives in accordance with the submitted plans. c. Base Standard Modification to allow parking areas and internal drives without marking, curbing, and lighting. d. Base Standard Modification to allow commercial use without pedestrian/bicycle access to at least one street frontage. e. Base Standard Modification to allow commercial use without street frontage landscaping. f. Base Standard Modification to allow commercial use without paved area landscaping. 7. Based Standard Modifications are being granted in #6(b)and(c) above, but as a condition of that, Gates 2 and 3 shall be gated and only used for emergency access to South Washburn Street. Gates 2 and 3 are not to be used as standard ingress and egress from the site, and shall only be used when ingress and egress needs to be made immediately for purpose of health and safety, including use by emergency vehicles. 8. Any changes or alterations to the site plan or use of the site will require amendment of the Specific Implementation Plan (SIP). 9. Non-compliance with this SIP may result in enforcement action and may also be considered by Common Council in any decision to approve or deny a Special Event permit.

Applicant's Signature (required): Y#-f= 3&-~ Date: 02/06/2024 3 Page 12 1 CITY OF OSHKOSH PD APPLICATION – ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUESTED NARATIVES OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT Proposed use of the property: Oshkosh Festivals LLC proposes to use the property to produce permitted National Act Music and Camping Festivals events on the site beginning with XRoads41 on August 8-10, 2024. These festivals will be nationally recognized and national attractions drawing people in from all over the country and beyond. We look forward to hosting festivals starting at around 25,000 in daily attendance, 10,000 onsite parking capacity, and 2,200 campsites. Projecting future years daily attendance of 40,000+, 10,000+ onsite parking capacity, and in excess of 3,500 campsites. We will continue to use the property in the same fashion as described above for the foreseeable future. Specifically related to the property within the City of Oshkosh limits, this land will be used for temporary camping/parking during our planned events. Existing and proposed use of the property: For many years the property previously (up to 2019) was used for the same purpose that Oshkosh Festivals LLC intends property to be utilized. The property sat idle from 2019-2023. The previous Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development will generally be very similar to what was is being proposed/requested under this request. Identification of structures on the property and discussion of their relation to the project: The area of the property where the festival(s) will be held that is located within the City of Oshkosh consists of the main entrance and a portion of the campground and parking area. There are existing crushed rock and recycled asphalt roads, fencing, permanent lighting/electrical utility poles, a well and water outlets to facilitate the landscaped pond/fountain/waterfall by the main entrance. There is also signage at the main entrance and the grounds will have extensive wayfinding signage throughout the property. Projected number of residents, employees, and/or daily customers: XRoads41 is projecting a daily attendance range of approximately 15,000-40,000+ per day, and estimating up to another 1,500 employees, Vendors, and contracted Service Providers. Proposed amount of dwelling units, floor area, landscape area, and parking area expressed in square feet and acreage to the nearest one-hundredth of an acre: The property located in the City of Oshkosh is about 63 acres which has camping and parking operations located within the acreage. There is a significant waterfall with a pond and landscaping at the entrance to the property where vehicles enter our festival grounds. There are currently no permanent structures on the property within the City of Oshkosh. Effects on adjoining properties to include: noise, hours of operation, glare, odor, fumes, vibration, etc.: The actual concert performance area is in the Town of Nekimi and we are under restrictions on hours of operation for amplified music with Winnebago County and the Town of Nekimi. As we are made aware of concerns involving noise pollution, we address them in the best way we are able. We have no control over the sound system for the national acts due to contract language. With today’s audio system technology, our Audio Engineers tune the site prior to the event, to determine the speaker placements and better control noise pollution. Much of the noise pollution traveling from our site has to do with wind speed and direction, which we have no control over. We will work closely with Law Enforcement Officials to address any issues that arise from our festivals. We make every attempt to deal with all complaints that may be reported. Page 13 2 Compatibility of the proposed use with adjacent and other properties in the area: Our permitted event(s) will bring a significant amount of tourism and tourists to the area annually who will patronize the local and regional businesses from Gas Stations, Convenience Stores, Restaurants, Retail Shopping to Hotels and more. Our permitted event(s) will ultimately become vacation destinations and the economic impact to the community and region will equal millions of dollars annually. Traffic generation: We will have a large influx of traffic to the community during the arrival and departure of our campers coming in for the week of the event(s), and those drive-up attendees the afternoon through evening hours of our event(s) due to the nationally renowned Artists that are playing on our stages. All of these will be informed via social media, e-mail, our website and when they get their tickets as to the best ways to enter and depart the property, as well as met with directional signage as they drive towards and ingress the site. We have engaged the services of a preeminent special event traffic engineering firm to develop a comprehensive traffic plan for each permitted event. We will have a designated Ride-Share Area as well. We will work closely with the Oshkosh Police Department, Oshkosh Public Works, City Planning, Winnebago County Sheriff as well as Officials at the Town of Nekimi to make our event as safe as possible for those attending. Any other information pertinent to adequate understanding of the intended use and its relation to nearby properties: Oshkosh Festivals intends to promote additional events and uses of the entire festival grounds with significant financial investments to the property. Currently, two annual music festivals are being planned. They are: XRoads41 - A Country Leaning Music Festival: The inaugural annual event is scheduled for August 8-10, 2024. Campground will open one (1) day prior to the event on August 7 and close one (1) day after the event on August 11, 2024. All future dates will be the first weekend following the first Wednesday in August. XRoads41 - Genre TBD Music Festival: Beginning 2025, this 2nd inaugural annual event is scheduled August 14-16, one (1) week after the above event. Campground will open one (1) day prior to the event and close one (1) day after the event. Updated Perimeter Fencing: We are planning to replace much of the existing 6ft galvanized chain link fencing with new 6ft high Black chain link fencing. New fencing will be added along the navigable stream. Refer to the included site plan for new and updated fencing. On-Premises Signs: Two (2) new on-premises signs are being requested per the included specification document and PD application. One sign will be an approximately 400 sq. ft. digital sign board while the other is an approximately 400 sq. ft. static display sign board with external illumination. We are also requesting temporary signage and displays along the perimeter fence along S. Washburn St, as well as around the festival ground entrance and waterfall, to be displayed during events. Requested Base Standard Modifications: An exception is requested to allow for parking on grass, like the previous use. Page 14 3 PD - Base Standard Modifications 1. Prohibited land use: Temporary Campground 30-52: (SMU) Suburban Mixed Use Zoning District – Campgrounds are not a permitted or conditional use. • Requested modification to use the site for campground and grass parking during events. This request is consistent with previous use under previous CUP. Up to 10 events, each lasting up to 8 days, are requested. 2. Code-compliant parking stalls not provided for Campground 30-78(P)(3) Minimum required parking: Two spaces per campsite – designated parking stalls are not indicated on the site plan for the campsites. • Requested modification to allow temporary event camping during events. Typical camping location sizes are approximately 20ft x 40ft with one vehicle and one camping unit allowed per site. With the nature of the temporary events (only used a fraction of the year), permanently defining and designating the camping/parking area is not practical as layouts may change from event to event based on event needs. Additionally, the land will still be used for agriculture (ex. hay crops) outside of the temporary events. This request is consistent with previous use under previous CUP. 3. Non-compliant surface for parking areas and drive lanes (gravel) 30-175(S)(1) does not meet hard surface requirement for parking/drive lanes. • Requested modification to allow continued use of existing parking and drive lanes. With the limited, temporary use planned, paving the parking and drive lanes is not practical. These areas will only be used a fraction of the year, further supporting the continued use of the current parking and drive lane surface materials (crushed stone & grass). Additionally, planned grass drive lanes and parking areas will continues to be used for agriculture outside of events, This request is consistent with previous use under previous CUP. 4. Parking areas not compliant with off-street parking requirements 30-175(M) (4) Marking. Parking stalls will not be striped per code. (5) Curbing. A minimum 6-inch-high curb not provided (7) Lighting. Parking/drive areas not provided with 0.4 fc lighting levels • Requested modification to use property for off-street grass/gravel parking. With the limited temporary use, hard surface requirements are not practical. These areas will have limited use for only a fraction of the year (i.e. temporary use). Outside of events, grass areas will continue to be used for agriculture use. This request is consistent with previous use under previous CUP. 5. EMC exceeding maximum size 30-290b Exceeding maximum EMC size of 100 sq. ft. for SMU district Page 15 4 • Requested modification to allow one (1) EMC up to 400 sq. ft. per the attached specifications from Appleton Sign Company (pending). • Additional information: Oshkosh Festivals is also requesting permitting/approval for one (1) 400 sq. ft. sign per the attached specifications from Appleton Sign Company. • In compensation for the above request, we (Oshkosh Festivals, LLC) are requesting only two new signs instead of the three possible for this property (three (3) parcels). 6. Pedestrian/bicycle access not provided 30-173(B) A pedestrian/bicycle access is not provided to the right-of-way. • Pedestrian and bike lane access to the right-of-way is not provided to maintain the safety of all participants. We want to avoid and discourage all pedestrian & bike traffic due to the anticipated high vehicle traffic. With the nature of the temporary events requested, these event grounds will only see people and traffic a fraction of the year. 7. Paved area landscaping not provided 30-253(B)(1) Required paved area landscaping not provided. • Paved area landscaping is not being provided, as it is not conducive to the high traffic expected and could hinder emergency access within the property. These areas will have limited event use for only a fraction of the year (i.e. temporary use). Outside of events, grass areas will continue to be used for agriculture use. 8. Street frontage landscaping not provided 30-253(C)(1) Required street frontage landscaping not provided. • The nature of the number of vehicles anticipated, street frontage landscaping could potentially provide a hazard, especially in the case of an emergency or access by emergency vehicles. These street frontage and event grounds will have limited event use for only a fraction of the year (i.e. temporary use). Outside of events, grass areas will continue to be used for agriculture use. 9. Temporary signage exceeding maximum size and maximum height 30-290(c) exceeding maximum allowed size of 32 sq. ft. and exceeding maximum height of 8 ft. • Requested modification to allow for additional temporary signage used only during the event periods. We have approximately 2375 ft. of frontage along S Washburn St. We are requesting allowance for 1800 sq. ft. of temporary signs, only during event periods, with up to 800 sq. ft. of temporary signage above 8 ft and up to a maximum height of 20 ft. Signs are temporary, but important for the type of events we plan to have. This would allow for a possible larger sign area at, around, and above our vehicle entrance way to greet event patrons as well as event sponsors. These signs will be critical to our events and our strategic sponsors. Efforts will be made, when possible, to have temporary signage face inward. REQUESTED SITE MAP(S)/DRAWINGS 1.
