TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council

DATE: October 8, 2009
RE: Resolution to Accept Certification of Amendment #2 to the South
Shore Redevelopment Area Plan and Direct that no New
Construction be Authorized without Common Council Approval
BACKGROUND
The South Shore Redevelopment Area was created in 2003 and expanded in
2005. In June, Jeld -Wen Corporation announced plans to close their Oshkosh
operation in August of this year and it appears that all manufacturing activity at
the Oregon Street site has ceased. Amendment No. 2 to the Project Plan
provided for inclusion of the main Jeld -Wen plant site at 421 Oregon Street, six
(6) adjoining residential properties and an approximate five (5) acre area on the
northwest corner of the Jeld -Wen property in the redevelopment area and was
approved by the Redevelopment Authority on September 16 and by the
Common Council on September 22 of this year. In connection with this
Amendment, a zone change will be brought forward to adjust the zoning from
manufacturing to central commercial with a planned development overlay at the
Council's October 27 meeting.
ANALYSIS
Wisconsin Statutes require that upon adoption of a Project Plan or an
amendment thereto, the Redevelopment Authority certify the plan to the local
legislative body. The Redevelopment Authority at its October 1, 2009 meeting
certified Amendment #2 to the South Shore Redevelopment Area Plan. Statutes
now require the Common Council to direct that no new construction may be
authorized by any agencies, boards or commissions of the City in the area unless
authorized by the Common Council, including substantial remodeling or
conversion or rebuilding, enlargement, or extension or major structural
improvements on existing buildings, but not including ordinary maintenance or
remodeling or changes necessary to continue the occupancy. This certification
co
Memo re: South Shore Redevelopment: 10/8/09: P. 2
has the effect of allowing the RDA to exercise its powers of acquisition and
assembly of lands within the District, as well as preventing new construction in
the District without Common Council approval.
As mentioned above, at its next meeting the Common Council will
consider the rezoning of the properties in this area to C -3 Central City
Commercial with a "PD" Planned Development Overlay District. If the proposed
rezoning is approved, as a practical matter, the authorization by the Common
Council for new construction will come through the Planned Development review
process.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no anticipated Fiscal Impact from the adoption of this Resolution at this
time.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Common Council approve the Resolution as
recommended by the Redevelopment Authority for the City of Oshkosh.
Respectfully Sub fitted,
n A. Lorenson
