TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Darryn Burich
Director of Planning Services
DATE: December 5, 2013
RE: Approve Rezoning Block Bounded by Witzel Avenue, Sawyer Street, Southland
Avenue, and Josslyn Street (Excluding 230 North Sawyer) From R -1 Single Family, R-
3 Multiple Dwelling and C -2 General Commercial to C -1 Neighborhood Commercial
with a Planned Development Overlay (Plan Commission recommends approval)
BACKGROUND
The area included in the zone change request consists of two parcels totaling approximately 16 acres
at 1100 Witzel Avenue and 250 North Sawyer Street. It is comprised of the entire block bounded by
Witzel Avenue on the south, North Sawyer Street on the west, Southland Avenue on the north and
Josslyn Street on the east except one % acre property used as a dental office at 230 North Sawyer.
The site currently includes the former Citizens First Credit Union building at 250 North Sawyer (corner
of North Sawyer and Southland), administrative offices within the building at 111 Josslyn Street, and
the Middle /High School (Grades 6 -12) building at 1100 Witzel Avenue. Other site features include a
large parking area, storage garage and multiple athletic fields.
ANALYSIS
The petitioner is requesting approval to rezone the subject properties from multiple districts to C -1 PD
to make a consistent zoning for the educational use and to consolidate operations onto the site to
further develop the campus with a new elementary school and other site improvements. The rezoning
request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's institutional land use recommendation and the
planned development overlay designation is beneficial to the petitioner as it provides flexibility needed
to consolidate its proposed operations and allow for expansion of the campus by the utilization of
base standard modifications. The planned development designation is beneficial to the City as it
provides the ability to address items that do not meet code dimensional standards and grants public
review and oversight of development plans.
FISCAL IMPACT
No impact is anticipated.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission approved of this request at its November 19, 2013 meeting.
Approved,
Cit anager
ITEM:. ZONE CHANGE FROM R -1 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE DISTRICT, R -3
MULTIPLE DWELLING DISTRICT AND C -2 GENERAL COMMERCIAL
DISTRICT TO C -1PD NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT WITH A
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY FOR PROPERTIES AT 1100 WITZEL
AVENUE AND 110 & 250 NORTH SAWYER STREET (LOURDES ACADEMY)
Plan Commission meeting of November 19, 2013
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: Lourdes Academy
Owner: Oshkosh Catholic High School &
Unified Catholic Schools of Oshkosh FNDT
Action(s) Requested:
Zone change request from the R -1 Single Family Residence District, R -3 Multiple Dwelling District and
C -2 General Commercial District to the C -1 PD Neighborhood Commercial District with a Planned
Development Overlay (PD). The subject area having multiple zoning designations restricts any site
changes /improvements or new construction on the property. The intent of the requested zone change is to
bring the zoning into conformance with the current use and development on the property and the PD will
be in place to ensure that any proposed changes to the property be reviewed under the public hearing
process while providing the ability for adjustments to zoning standards that are unique to its campus
institutional use.
Applicable Ordinance Provisions:
The Zoning Ordinance does not establish criteria relative to appropriateness of changing zoning but relies
on the Comprehensive Plan, development plans and good planning principles.
Property Location and Background Information:
The area included in the zone change request consists of two parcels totaling approximately 16 acres at
1100 Witzel Avenue and 250 North Sawyer Street. It is comprised of the entire block bounded by Witzel
Avenue on the south, North Sawyer Street on the west, Southland Avenue on the north and Josslyn Street
on the cast except one 1 /2 acre property used as a dental office at 230 North Sawyer. The site currently
includes the former Citizens First Credit Union building at 250 North Sawyer (corner of North Sawyer
and Southland), administrative offices within the building at 111 Josslyn Street, and the Middle/High
School (Grades 6 -12) building at 1100 Witzel Avenue. Other site features include a large parking area,
storage garage and multiple athletic fields.

ANALYSIS
The petitioner is requesting approval to rezone the subject properties from multiple districts to C -1PD.
The purpose of the rezoning request is to make a consistent zoning for the educational use (through CLIP)
and to consolidate operations onto the site, thereby creating a one system campus and providing a
mechanism (through PD) to further develop the campus with a new elementary school,
expansion/renovation of the existing parking lot, creation of a new parking lot, and reorganization of other
site improvements such as athletic fields and accessory buildings.
The rezoning request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's institutional land use recommendation
as school uses are permitted through a conditional use permit in the C -1 Neighborhood Commercial
District, as it is in all the City's zoning districts. The C -1 designation is most appropriate in that it allows
the development of the site as a large educational campus maintaining a scale of development that is
appropriate and similar to the higher intensity commercial and multiple family uses on the west and east
while acting as transitional area to the lower density single and two - family residential uses to the south.
The Planned Development designation is beneficial to the petitioner as it provides flexibility needed to
consolidate its proposed operations and allow for expansion of the campus by the utilization of base
standard modifications that provide relief from conditions affecting the use of multiple lots such as
internal lot line setbacks and multiple drives /curb -cuts. The Planned Development designation is
beneficial to the City as it provides the ability to address items that do not meet code dimensional
standards and grants public review and oversight of development plans to ensure compliance with the
City's development and planning policies.
Lourdes held a neighborhood meeting to introduce the rezoning request and CUP/PD to the neighboring
property owners and received only positive feedback.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the zone change from the R -1 Single Family Residence District, R -3
Multiple Dwelling District and C-2 General Commercial District to the C -1 PD Neighborhood
Commercial District with a Planned Development Overlay as requested.
The Plan Commission approved of the zone change from R -1 Single Family Residence District, R-3
Multiple Dwelling District and C-2 General Commercial District to C -1 PD Neighborhood Commercial
District with a Planned Development Overlay as requested. The following is the Plan Commission's
discussion on this item.
Item - Lourdes Academy Rezone
Mr. Buck presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area as well as the zoning
classifications and land use in said area. He reviewed the site plan which entailed both the existing
features on the site as well as new proposed renovations. He discussed the existing features and the
proposed additions to the site such as the elementary school, and new parking areas, pedestrian walkways,
playgrounds, and athletic fields. He stated that the parking stalls would almost double from the number of
existing stalls and explained the circulation patterns that would separate the various age groups. He also
discussed the suggested adjustments to the plan that staff has recommended and reviewed the building
elevations. He commented that the east facade has a very blank wall and staff was recommending it
receive some architectural and color enhancement to break up the expanse of wall plane. He also
reviewed the signage proposed for the site which included wall, ground mounted, and. a pylon sign with
one incorporating an electronic message center. He reviewed the plan depicting the traffic flow pattern
for the site as well as a conceptual landscaping plan and the dumpster enclosure location. He stated that
storm water management plans had yet to be submitted but would require review and approval by the
Department of Public Works and the formal landscaping plans would require review and approval by the
Department of Community Development. He also reviewed the conditions recommended for this request.
Mr. Borsuk commented that he had concerns with the landscaping, environmental issues, and traffic
patterns for the request. He questioned if the exit on to Sawyer Street should be a right turn only access.
Mr. Buck responded that it should not be necessary as it is designed to be a three lane drive access. Chris
Strong, Director of Transportation, added that Sawyer Street does not have a significant amount of
crashes and this driveway should be able to work well as designed.
Mr. Borsuk then commented that the storm water management for the site does not seem adequate.
Steve Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works, replied that the storm water management plans are
conceptual only at this time and underground detention facilities will probably not be feasible on this site.
He further stated that only the reconstructed areas have to come into compliance such as the new parking
areas and storm water management will be challenging for this site as it is located very close to the
downstream discharge area of Campbell Creek.
Mr. Borsuk commented that it was a planned development and the whole site should be reviewed for
storm water impact. He also questioned if they were proposing any intensive landscaping for areas of the
site.
Mr. Buck responded that some of the parking lot areas were to remain as they are today.
Mr. Borsuk felt that the whole area along Sawyer Street needs more intensive landscaping features.
Mr. Buck indicated that they are incorporating internal islands and other green space features and both the
new and existing parking lots will meet all the current parking code requirements.
Mr. Fojtik questioned why the new elementary school building is not being placed closer to and fronting
the street than it is proposed.
Mr. Buck replied that the petitioner have presented and worked with staff on four to five different
scenarios while in the planning stages of the project and the drop - off /pick -up areas, site circulation and
separation of school functions is the primary reason to not locate the building to front the street.
Mr. Thorns stated that he is aware of the existing codes regulating landscaping and environmental
requirements but there are existing storm water issues in the area and he felt they should be addressed as
Item - Lourdes Academy Rezone
this is a planned development and additional requirements could be requested. He commented that the
city is attempting to hide parking areas at new developments as well and he felt more intensive
landscaping should be required. He also commented about the base standard modification for the chain
link fence around the ball field and felt that it did not have to be constructed of chain link and could
utilize a more attractive material for the fencing.
Mr. Buck responded that the petitioner is most likely considering the security and maintenance of the
proposed fence.
Mr. Thorns felt that they could use something to make the fencing more aesthetically pleasing than just
the standard chain link. He also voiced concerns about the signage as he felt the electronic message
center sign was located too close to the intersection and would be a distraction for drivers particularly at
night. He also questioned if there were any impact studies completed for traffic flow as turning left on
Sawyer Street can be challenging.
Mr. Strong stated that the applicant did a parking assessment and after looking at other schools in the
community, staff believe what is presented should be effective. A traffic impact analysis is typically done
to determine if signals are needed in an area or other traffic measures required. He felt the streets
surrounding the property should be able to absorb the traffic flow other than there may be some back up at
drop - off /pick -up times and the one way flow on the site could be more defined.
Mr. Thorns inquired if the bus traffic flow would exit out on Sawyer Street.
Mr. Strong responded that the entrance for the buses would be off Josslyn Street and the transfer point
could be located on the school campus and that the buses would exit on Sawyer.
Mr. Burich questioned if Mr. Strong felt the electronic message center sign was an issue.
Mr. Strong indicated that they consider the proximity to the intersection and what is being displayed on
the sign as both effect the distraction of drivers. He felt there was sufficient distance from the traffic light
in this case that it should not be an issue.
Mr. Bowen asked to verify that the corrugated metal material would be changed to other materials for the
mechanical screening on the structure.
Mr. Buck responded affirmatively.
Mr. Bowen commented that an institutional zoning classification would make this process easier.
Mr. Thoms questioned if the zoning change would have any effect on the dental office located within the
block.
Mr. Buck responded negatively.
Mr. Thoms asked to verify that the mechanical equipment on the structure would be appropriately
screened.
Mr. Burich responded affirmatively.
Mr. Borsuk inquired about the necessity to double the number of parking stalls on the site.
Item - Lourdes Academy Ike -one
4
Mr. Buck indicated that the daily demand was anticipated to be 260 parking stalls however with events at
the school, the demand would require about 300 stalls and they would be removing some from the back of
the old credit union location.
Bob Biebel, President of Lourdes Academy, stated that they have presented a number of plans for this
project to the city and their organization felt it was important to have a setup that would serve their
students for the next 50 years. At this time, their education system is in three different buildings which is
not convenient for parents and they felt it would be best to have all the schools in one location. They need
to attract students and are trying their best as far as the traffic pattern on the site. Their parking lot is
usually full during events and they utilize on- street parking besides, therefore the additional parking stalls
are necessary for them to provide adequate parking on -site. They would like to maintain the entrance on
Sawyer Street as it would provide an access point for emergency vehicles and the basement of the old
credit union building could be utilized if necessary for emergency situations. He also discussed the need
for the delivery area on site.
Mr. Bowen inquired about the use of the football field.
Mr. Biebel responded that it is a practice site for the middle school students which will amount to about
six games per year and they will continue to utilize Titan Stadium for high school events.
Mr. Thorns stated that if it was only a practice field, could they eliminate the chain link fencing
surrounding it. He also commented that he would like to see landscaping around the perimeters of the
parking lots to help bide these areas and he still had concerns about the storm water management issues.
Tim Whitman, Davel Engineering, indicated that they would be working according to the City's
ordinance with the use of biofilters and bioswales on the storm water management plans.
Mr. Borsuk voiced his concern with the ramifications of the new building areas as far as storm water
management.
Mr. Gohde indicated that since the storm water management codes were revamped in 2012, the ordinance
requires storm water management to be in effect on any newly created areas and they will have to meet all
the current requirements. They have discussed lowering the football field area as they have done at Tipler
School to serve as a detention area and biofilters are to be installed. He did not recommend extending
storm water management beyond ordinance requirements in this case.
Mr. Thorns discussed the ordinance standards but felt that since this was a planned development, it should
require more stringent standards.
Mr. Gohde reiterated his recommendations that ordinance standards are not required to be exceeded in
this case as the subject site's close proximity to Campbell Creek which is just across Josslyn Street.
Excessive storm water management will not help anyone upstream as the site is located downstream from
the creek and there are no properties downstream to benefit from it either. He further discussed some
other detention basins in the process of construction and stated that meeting ordinance standards will be
difficult for this property but exceeding it is not necessary. Both the site location and elevation is an issue
and he further explained current ordinance restrictions.
Jason Hale, Ganther Construction, displayed large renderings of the east elevation and explained some of
the changes incorporated to meet staff's recommendations. He also displayed samples of the brick, cast
stone, architectural metal panels, and EIFS to be used on the structure. He discussed options for the
replacement of the corrugated metal recommended in the conditions and the use of the interior of the
Item - Lourdes Academy Rezone
6
structure which limits the placement of windows or other architectural features on this side for practical
purposes.
Mr. Cummings expressed his gratitude for the large renderings and material samples to review as he felt it
was much more beneficial than just the usual submitted site plans.
Mr. Borsuk questioned what the mechanical screening enclosures would look like.
Mr. Hale responded that the lower portion would be constructed of brick and they were still considering
the options for the replacement of the corrugated metal and offered a few options that would be possible.
Mr. Borsuk then questioned if the refuse enclosure would be constructed of the same materials as the
building.
Mr. Hale indicated that it would be constructed of tan brick.
Mr. Thorns stated that he still had concerns with the fencing material used to enclose the ball field and
would like to see something more aesthetically pleasing than the chain link fence and also suggested that
a berm could.be constructed along the side of the parking lot.
Mr. Hale replied that berming of any kind was an issue on this site due to the elevation but more
landscaping may work better particularly along the Sawyer Street side.
Mr. Thorns stated that he was also still concerned with the exit onto Sawyer Street.
Mr. Hale indicated that decorative black fencing was proposed to be used in other areas of the site and the
chain link fencing was the best option for the ball field as far as costs.
Mr. Borsuk suggested that the chain link fence be coated rather than galvanized metal.
Mr. Thorns inquired if this would be the only opportunity to amend the conditions for this request.
Mr. Buck responded that the Commission could request that the item be brought back to. amend
conditions at a later date however it was important to approve the planned development so the project
could move forward. The conditions could be amended at this time.
Mr. Thoms stated that if staff could handle the fagade, landscaping and fencing concerns discussed, the
item would not need to come back to the Commission for further review and questioned if the conditions
would require some amendments.
Mr. Burich replied that if the Commission desired to request something specific, they need to be direct on
what conditions should be amended.
Mr. Fojtik commented that the fencing will be the least visible part of the property.
Mr. Borsuk stated that he would be comfortable with the minimum standard of a coated chain link fence
however he would like to see the ball field with this type of fencing rather than just standard chain link
and some enhanced landscaping features along the fencing and on the Sawyer Street side parking lot and
near the service drive by the east fagade.
Mr. Hale suggested that the fence for the ball field could be vinyl coated on the exterior facing the street
Rena - Lourdes Academy Rezone
and standard galvanized chain link on the interior which would be less visible to the public.
Mr. Borsuk reiterated that he still had concerns with the storm water management for the site.
Mr. Gohde suggested that the Commission could amend the conditions to add approval of a storm water
grading and drainage plan to collect and convey storm water to the maximum extent practical, although
this may be difficult to accomplish.
Mr. Bowen suggested that it could be adjusted to require the development to meet code standards and may
exceed if possible.
Ms. Propp inquired if the driveway on North Sawyer Street was still going to be removed as stated in the
conditions.
Mr. Buck commented that there are two existing driveways to the former credit union parking lot off
Southland Avenue and the question is if the third driveway on Sawyer Street is necessary.
Mr. Thorns discussed the emergency issues and use of the old credit union building for that purpose that
the petitioner brought up earlier.
Mr. Borsuk suggested that it could be restricted to a right- in/right -out only drive access.
Mr. Burich commented that the site could be evacuated in an emergency situation without the third
driveway to the parking lot and the right- in/right -out drive accesses do not historically work well. Mr.
Buck added that a concern was that motorists will possibly avoid the controlled intersection at Southland
and Sawyer by utilizing the parking lot accesses instead. Mr. Burich asked about the possibility of
eliminating the drive aisles around the building which would prohibit the use of the driveways to avoid
the controlled intersection. Mr. Biebel suggested that they could barricade off the driveway during the
day to prevent its use for that purpose. Mr. Burich questioned why the drive aisles are necessary around
the building.
Mr. Biebel discussed the reasons for the necessity of the drive aisles such as to handle back -up traffic at
busy times.
Mr. Bowen recommended leaving the driveway remaining on Sawyer Street and review the situation after
a few years to see if it was functioning properly.
Mr. Fojtik commented that he felt the zone change and planned development overlay were a good idea for
this development.
Mr. Thorns recommended approval of the conditional use permit /planned development with adjustments
to the conditions to address the enhancements to the ball field fencing, landscaping, storm water
management, and to review the Sawyer Street driveway for functionality.
Motion by Thorns to approve a zone change from R -I Single Family Residence District, R -3
Multiple Dwelling District and C -2 General Commercial District to C -1PD Neighborhood
Business District with a Planned Development Overlay for properties at 1100 Witzel Avenue and
110 &.250 North Sawyer Street and to approve a conditional use permit /development plan review

REZONING
Review Standards
Standard #1 Comprehensive Plan /Zoning Ordinance
A. Explain how the proposed zone district designation is consistent with
the purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan, including the
Future Land Use Map.
The future designation of the property is Public /Institutional, which is how
the site is currently being utilized and how it will continue to be used.
P. Explain how the purposed zone district will further the themes and
objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan, as well as any relevant
adopted area redevelopment plans.
The proposed Zone District will allow Lourdes Academy the flexibility
needed to consolidate operation on to one site and continue to operate and
maintain the property for educational use which is in -line with the cities
comprehensive plan for the property as Public/ Institution use.
Standard #2 Public Facilities
A. Describe how adequate public utilities already exist will be provided
at no additional public cost, and will safeguard the health, safety,
morals and general welfare of the public.
The presence of existing utilities on both Josslyn and Sawyer Street are
available for the project, New storm water retention and treatment will have
a positive effect of the existing site ad the addition of on site parking will help
alleviate street parking.
R. Explain how the proposed zone district will not be detrimental to the
financial stability and economic welfare of the city.
C1 and C2 zones already exist in this area and the actual use of the property
will not be changing from the current use. C1 zoning will allow Lourdes
Academy the operational flexibility to remain a vibrant Catholic education
option for years to come.
Standard #5 Other
Describe how the purposed zone district is consistent with the trend of
development in the neighborhood, or the property to be rezoned was
improperly zoned or classified when the City's Zoning Ordinance was adopted
or amended.
Sawyer St, is a mix of residential and commercial uses
The current site is in a transitional area between these uses.
Rezoning to C1 "Neighborhood Business District" will allow for development of site
to best utilize the site and still maintain a scale of development appropriate for the
surrounding area.
