Memorandum DATE: January 5, 2017 TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Darryn Burich Director of Planning Services SUBJECT: Approve Amendment to Comprehensive Land Use Maps Changing the Land Use Designation for Properties Located at the Northeast Corner of Harrison Street and East Custer Avenue from Industrial to Commercial (Plan Commission recommends approval) BACKGROUND The subject site consists of two lots adjacent to Harrison Street and E. Custer Avenue with the Harrison Street parcel being vacant with a M-2 Central Industrial District zoning classification and the E. Custer Avenue parcel containing a vacant manufacturing facility with a C-1PD Neighborhood Business District with a Planned Development Overlay zoning classification. The Harrison Street parcel is proposed to be rezoned to C-1PD as a separate request. The lots are bordered by industrial to the north, mixed industrial and residential to the south, residential and industrial to the east, and single family residential to the west. In 2012, properties in this general vicinity were rezoned from M-2 to C- 1PD which did not include action to amend the recommended land use map in the Comprehensive Plan to be consistent with the zone change as there was remaining light industrial use on the site. As a result, city staff is requesting to amend the land use maps to designate the subject area as suitable for commercial use to ensure consistency with the zone change that was approved as the likelihood of the parcel becoming heavy industrial again is remote as the owner is in the process of applying for a planned development for the site as a separate request. ANALYSIS In 2005, the City adopted the 2005-2025 Comprehensive Plan which refined the 10 and 20 -year recommended land use maps that are a general reference tool for determining appropriate future land use and growth patterns. The creation of these maps determine recommended uses on a broader scale and periodically need to be revised to conform to changes in land use patterns and the market. The industrial designation was placed on the subject area based on the former use of the site as manufacturing with the corridor to the north being a mix of industrial and commercial uses. The industrial use of the parcel has diminished and the existing buildings are being proposed to be redeveloped as multi -family residential as a separate request. The Common Council has already taken action to change the zoning designation to commercial and this request is a maintenance action given the existing zoning as it will ensure consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, proposed redevelopment of the site, and existing land use patterns in the area. FISCAL IMPACT Changing the land use maps to reflect the existing zoning in place will have no impact on city services or require the expansion of city services as this is a center city location with services already being provided to the area. RECOMMENDATION The Plan Commission recommended approval of a Comprehensive Land Use Plan map amendment at its December 6, 2016 meeting.

Box 1130 • Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us ITEM: COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN MAP AMENDMENT FOR PROPERTIES LOCATED AT NORTHEAST CORNER OF HARRISON STREET AND E CUSTER AVENUE Plan Commission meeting of December 6, 2016. GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: City Administration Owner: Housing Authority of the City of Oshkosh Action(s) Requested: City staff is requesting an amendment to the Recommended 10 and 20 -Year Land Use Maps in the Comprehensive Plan. The subject area is designated for industrial land use designation; the applicant is requesting a change to a commercial land use designation. Property Location and Background Information: The subject area consists of two lots located within the City of Oshkosh, adjacent to Harrison Street and East Custer Avenue. 0 Harrison Street (triangular tract of land) is a vacant lot approximately 0.21 acres in size and is zoned as M-2 - Central Industrial District (and also subject of zone change request to C-1PD under separate item). The eastern portion of the lot contains a portion of pavement from recently vacated Mount Vernon Street. The second parcel, 300 East Custer Avenue, contains a vacant manufacturing facility on approximately 4.98 acres zoned C-1PD - Neighborhood Business District with a Planned Development Overlay. The lots are bordered by industrial to the north, mixed industrial and residential to the south and residential and industrial to the east, and single family residential to the west. On March 6, 2012 the Plan Commission recommended approval to rezone properties generally located north of East Custer Avenue, south of Nevada Avenue, east of Mount Vernon Street & west of Broad Street from M-2 Central Industrial to C-1 Neighborhood Business with a Planned Development Overlay and M-1 Light Industrial with a Planned Development Overlay. At that time, the request did not include action to amend the Recommended 10 and 20 -Year Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan to be consistent with the zone change that was being recommended for approval due to the presence of remaining light industrial use on the site. As a result, city staff is requesting to amend the 10 and 20 -Year Land Use Maps in the Comprehensive Plan to designate the subject area as suitable for commercial to ensure consistency with the zone change that was approved. The subject area is located on the southern transitional boundary of a broader industrial area characterized by a mixture of light industrial/storage and commercial/retail uses to the north and residential uses to the east, west and south. The subject area historically contained general manufacturing uses that have given way to lighter industrial uses such as contractors' yards and storage. The likelihood of the subject area becoming heavy industrial again seems remote given the proposed future use of the subject area (separate action on this agenda) and the availability of green field industrial lands in the community.

Part of the update entailed refining the 20 -Year Recommended Land Use Map and the creation of a 10 -Year Land Use Map. The Land Use section of the plan states that, the maps are used to give the community a better idea of how land in the city will be used in the future. The future land use maps were created using a variety of resources. These resources include the existing land use map and special area plans, aerial photography, land use maps of adjoining communities, soils and environmentally sensitive areas map (which help to understand development limitations), utility and facility service area maps, and existing and future transportation corridors. The maps show the general location and type of land uses within the city and on the city's periphery. The maps are to be used as a basis for making general land use decisions relative to the City's land use control regulations. Land use designations will be evaluated in terms of their consistency with these maps and other applicable elements of this Plan and all other applicable Ordinances. These land use maps are intended to be used as a general reference tool for determining appropriate future land use and growth patterns. When creating these maps, recommended uses were determined on a broader scale rather than a parcel by parcel basis. Staff realizes that sections of the Comprehensive Plan, including mapping portions, need to be updated or revised periodically to, conform to changes in land use patterns, or in this case, to accommodate logical requests. Looking at the current 10 and 20 -Year Land Use Maps in the Comprehensive Plan, the industrial designation was likely placed on the subject area based on the former use of the site as manufacturing, and the fact that the corridor to the north is a mix of industrial and commercial uses. Since 10 and 20 -Year Land Use Maps in the Comprehensive Plan was created, the industrial use of the subject area has diminished and the existing buildings are currently being proposed to be redeveloped as multi -family residential (separate action on this agenda). The Plan Commission and Common Council have already taken action to change the zoning designation to commercial and this request is more of a maintenance action given the existing zoning. Staff's request will ensure consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, proposed multi -family Item — Comp Land Use Map Amdmt-Harrison Stand E Custer Avenue development (separate action on this agenda) and existing land use patterns in the area. RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS Staff recommends approving the amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use Map as proposed. The Plan Commission approved of an amendment to the Recommended 10 and 20 -Year Land Use Maps in the Comprehensive Plan as requested. The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item. Ms. Naudziunas presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area as well as the land use and zoning classifications in this area. She stated that the property was rezoned from M-2 Central Industrial District to CAPD Neighborhood Business District with a Planned Development Overlay in 2012 however the Comprehensive Plan was not updated after the zone change was approved. The proposed land use map amendment would make the land use consistent with the zone change and explained the purpose of the Comprehensive Plan land use maps. The existing land use designation was based on the previous use of the site and the site is proposed for redevelopment as a multi -family apartment development. Mr. Burich added that this action is a cleanup item from the zone change in 2012 as the land use map was not amended to be consistent with the new zoning designation. Mr. Thoms inquired if this map amendment was approved, if the new zoning classification for this area would be adopted appropriately with the update of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Burich responded that the zoning classification for this area would be UMU-PD which will be consistent with the new and existing zoning as well as the land use of the site. Motion by Vajgrt to approve a comprehensive land use plan map amendment for properties located at the northeast corner of Harrison Street and E. Custer Avenue. Seconded by Thoms. Motion carried 9-0.
