PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT MARCH 3, 2026
ITEM 6: Public Hearing: Zone Change from Two Flat Residential-10 (TR-10) to Central
Mixed Use with a Planned Development Overlay (CMU-PD) for Properties
Located at 14 West 10th Avenue and 20 West 10th Avenue
Applicant: White Label Lofts LLC
Property Owner: Sawdust Development 915 LLC
Action Requested: The applicant requests a zone change from the existing Two Flat
Residential-10 District (TR-10) to Central Mixed Use District with a Planned Development
Overlay (CMU-PD) for properties located at 14 West 10th Avenue and 20 West 10th Avenue.
Applicable Ordinance: Zoning map amendment - Section 30-381 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Property Location and Background Information: The subject site consists of two 50’ x 150’
residential lots, each containing an existing two flat residential building, located on the north
side of West 10th Avenue, west of South Main Street. The properties are zoned Two Flat
Residential-10 District (TR-10). The surrounding area consists of residential uses to the north,
south, and west, and commercial uses to the east. The 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan
recommends Center City use for the subject area.

Zone Change: The applicant is requesting a zone change to Central Mixed Use District with a
Planned Development Overlay (CMU-PD) for the two properties along West 10th Avenue. The
proposed zone change is intended to accommodate redevelopment of the properties into an off-
site parking lot. Specifically, the applicant proposes demolishing the two flat residential and
accessory structures on the eastern lot (14 West 10th Avenue), while the two flat structure at 20
West 10th Avenue will remain. The applicant plans to construct a 30-stall parking lot across both
subject properties. The parking lot will support a proposed new multi-family development
located east of the site at 913 and 923 South Main Street. The development will have two
accesses from the alley running between West 9th Avenue and West 10th Avenue.
The proposed rezoning to the CMU-PD District will allow the off-site parking lot as a
Conditional Use. A Base Standard Modification (BSM) is required to permit the two flat
residential use to remain, as single and two-family uses are not permitted in the CMU District.
The next agenda item is review of the development’s General Development Plan (GDP), which
addresses the Conditional Use and any required BSMs.

ITEM 6: Rezone 14 & 20 W 10th Avenue
A Plan Commission workshop was held on
January 20, 2026. The Plan Commissioners
were supportive of the proposed plan. A
neighborhood meeting was held on January
7, 2026. Neighbors in attendance were
supportive of the proposed plan. Following
the neighborhood meeting, Planning staff
received a concern from a neighboring
property owner regarding potential increased
traffic along West 9th Avenue and the alley as
a result of the proposed off-site parking lot.
The proposed CMU-PD zoning designation is
consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive
Land Use Plan recommendation of Center
City.
Findings:
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 as the proposed zone
change will result in compatible zoning with the surrounding area and the 2040
Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
(b) Maintains the desired overall consistency of land uses, land use intensities, and land use
impacts within the pertinent zoning districts as the proposed CMU-PD zoning
designation will be consistent with CMU zoning of neighboring properties.
(c) 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 as a proposal for an off-site parking
lot has been submitted that requires the requested Planned Development Overlay.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the zone changes with the findings listed above.
