PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT AUGUST 20, 2024
ITEM II A: PUBLIC HEARING: ZONE CHANGE FROM INSTITUTIONAL DISTRICT (I)
AND SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL-9 DISTRICT (SR-9) TO
INSTITUTIONAL DISTRICT WITH A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
OVERLAY (I-PD) AT 108 WEST NEW YORK AVENUE AND PROPERTY
LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF WEST CUSTER AVENUE &
KENTUCKY STREET (PARCEL 1500740100)
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: Point of Beginning, Inc.
Owner: Oshkosh Area School District
Action(s) Requested:
The applicant requests a zone change from the existing Institutional district (I) and Single
Family Residential-9 district (SR-9) to Institutional district with a Planned Development
Overlay (I-PD).
Applicable Ordinance Provisions:
Zoning map amendment standards are found in Section 30-381 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Background Information, Property Location and Type:
The subject area included in the zone change request consists of two parcels totaling 5.93 acres,
with frontage on West New York Avenue, Kentucky Street, Central Street, and West Custer
Avenue. The property located at 108 West New York Avenue is the former Merrill School site
and the property located at the southeast corner of West Custer Avenue and Kentucky Street is
a vacant residential property. The surrounding area consists of residential uses and Vel Philips
Middle School to the west. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan recommends Community Facility use
for the former Merrill School property and Light Density Residential for the vacant residential
property.

ANALYSIS
The zone change request includes the former Merrill Middle School site and an adjoining vacant
residential lot that has been purchased by the Oshkosh Area School District. The applicant is
requesting to have both of these lots rezoned to Institutional district with a Planned Development
Overlay (I-PD). This zone change is intended to provide consistent zoning for the subject properties
to allow a lot combination and to allow flexibility of the zoning ordinance for proposed athletic
fields to be utilized by Vel Philips Middle School. The applicant has submitted plans for the
proposed athletic fields, which do not meet off-street parking requirements. The applicant has
submitted an application for General Development Plan (GDP) and Specific Implementation Plan
(SIP) approval, which will be addressed with the subsequent item.
Staff is supportive of the proposed zone change to include a Planned Development Overlay as it
may serve to accommodate future land use needs for the site. The Planned Development Overlay is
also beneficial as it will allow for further review of future plans to mitigate potential impacts on
neighboring residential properties. Although the vacant residential property has a 2040
Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommendation of Light Density Residential, staff does not have
Rezone to I-PD

Item II A - Zone Change – 108 W New York Ave.
concerns with the proposed rezone as the Comprehensive Plan is not intended to be parcel specific
and the proposed I-PD zoning will be consistent with Institutional zoning of neighboring properties
to the south and west, which are utilized by the Oshkosh Area School District.
FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS
In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Zoning Map
amendment, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings based on the
criteria established by Chapter 30-381 (D)(2):
(a) Advances the purposes of this Chapter as outlined in Section 30-03 and the
applicable rules of Wisconsin Department of Administration and the Federal
Emergency Management Agency.
(b) Is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan.
(c) Maintains the desired overall consistency of land uses, land use intensities, and
land use impacts within the pertinent zoning districts.
(d) Addresses any of the following factors that are not properly addressed on the
current Official Zoning Map:
(ii) Factors have changed (such as new data, infrastructure, market conditions,
development, annexation, or other zoning changes), making the subject
property more appropriate for a different zoning district.
Staff recommends approval of the zone change with the findings listed above.
