PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DECEMBER 2, 2025
ITEM 8: Specific Implementation Plan Amendment for an Additional Dwelling Unit at
740 South Main Street
Owner/Applicant: Mill on Main, LLC
Action Requested: The petitioner requests a Specific Implementation Plan (SIP) Amendment
approval for an additional dwelling unit.
Applicable Ordinance: Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the
Zoning Ordinance.
Background Information Property Location and Type:
The subject site, Mill on Main mixed-used development, is currently under construction, located
on the east side of South Main Street, with frontage on East 7th Avenue, East 9th Avenue, and the
City’s Riverwalk. The area is zoned Riverfront Mixed Use District with a Planned Development
Overlay (RMU-PD). The surrounding area consists primarily of commercial, industrial, vacant
and mixed land uses, with the Fox River to the north and railroad to the east. The subject area is
located within the River North and Core sub areas of the redevelopment area identified as the
Sawdust District. The 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plans recommends Center City use for the
subject area.
A Specific Implementation Plan (SIP) was approved in 2022 for a mixed-used development on
the subject site (Resolution 22-309). The approved development included three, 5-story
buildings and a private clubhouse. The two buildings with frontage along South Main Street
(Buildings A1 & A2) are mixed use buildings with first floor commercial space and apartment
units above. The eastern building (A3), with frontage along East 9th Avenue, is an apartment
building with potential for future commercial space.

Use: There are no changes being proposed to the existing mixed-use development. The
approved SIP included a total of 295 dwelling units and 22,375 sq. ft. of commercial space. The
applicant is proposing one additional dwelling unit on the site, within the existing clubhouse
building.

ITEM 8 - SIP Amendment – 740 S. Main St.
According to the applicant, the unit will be a fully contained, residential suite designed for
flexible use, allowing it to function as a manager’s residence, a standard leased apartment, or
short-term corporate housing to accommodate seasonal professionals, such as traveling nurses.
Site Design: The approved SIP for the site included a base standard modification (BSM) to
allow reduced parking to 467 spaces, where code required 763 spaces. This was based off the
previous parking requirement for apartments of two spaces per unit plus one guest space per
three units, along with the commercial parking requirement of one space per 300 sq. ft. of gross
floor area.
Approved SIP Site Plan (2022)
In 2023, the zoning ordinance was updated to reduce the parking requirement for apartments to
one space per unit plus one guest space per four units. Based on the current parking
requirement for apartments along with the commercial parking requirement of one space per
300 sq. ft. of gross floor area, code requires a total of 445 parking spaces on the site. The
provided 467 parking spaces meet the current code requirement for parking.
Storm Water Management/Utilities: The Department of Public Works has not noted any
comments as all proposed changes are interior.
Landscaping: No additional landscaping is proposed or required for this request.
Building Facades: No changes are being proposed to the approved building elevations.

Approved SIP Elevations (2022)
Findings: 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 as the site will meet parking requirements for the residential
and commercial uses.
(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 as only a minor change to the site is being proposed
(one additional residential unit).
Recommendation/Conditions: Staff recommends approval of the Specific Implementation Plan
Amendment as proposed with the findings listed above and the following condition:
1. Except as specifically modified by this Specific Implementation Plan (SIP) Amendment,
the terms and conditions of the original SIP dated July 12, 2022 (Resolution 22-309)
remain in full force and effect.

Re: The Mill on Main – SIP Amendment to Allow a Dwelling Unit in the Clubhouse
To Whom It May Concern:
This SIP amendment request seeks approval to incorporate one additional dwelling unit within
the existing clubhouse building. The proposed unit will be a fully contained residential suite
designed for flexible use, allowing it to function as a manager’s residence, a standard leased
apartment, or short-term corporate housing to accommodate seasonal professionals such as
traveling nurses.
The inclusion of this unit will enhance the property’s operational flexibility and support the
overall management and community functions of the development. The unit will be integrated
into the existing building footprint without expanding the structure or altering the exterior
character of the clubhouse, ensuring consistency with the approved site design and the
surrounding residential context.
