TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Darryn Burich Director of Planning Services DATE: September 19, 2018 RE: Approve Specific Implementation Plan Amendment for a New Electronic Message Center; 3530 Omni Drive (Plan Commission Recommends Approval) BACKGROUND The subject development is located north of where Interstate 41 and US-45?converge and consists of one parcel totaling approximately 12.27 acres in size. The subject site is currently developed as Omni Glass & Paint, Inc. with a retail business and manufacturing. The development was approved with a Planned Development in October 2006. The original Conditional Use Permit/Planned Development (CUP/PD) was for Omni's facility which includes their commercial glass and paint operation with its associated office, manufacturing and retail showroom uses. The owners later received a CUP/PD Amendment to convert some of the on-site parking to outside storage in 2007 (Resolution 07-229 at the August 28th, 2007 Council meeting) since the storage was not included as part of the original CUP/PD. The 10 and 20 year Comprehensive Land Use Plans recommend commercial development for the subject site. The development is bounded by additional parcels owned by Omni Glass & Paint to the north, Interstate 41 to the east, US -45 to the west and the interchange of Interstate 41 and US -45 to the south. ANAT YSTc, The applicant is requesting a Base Standard Modification (BSM) for a larger Electronic Message Center (EMC) because the current EMC is difficult to read from Interstate 41. The applicant states the distance from the freeway (approximately 220 feet) and speed of the traffic (often 70 mph or greater) make it difficult for motorists to read the sign. The applicant believes a larger EMC will greatly improve the ability for Omni Glass & Paint to reach their audience and improve viewing, making it safer for highway traffic. Signage was not addressed as part of the original CUP/PD or the CUP/PD Amendment. The existing pylon sign located on the east side of the side, adjacent to Interstate 41, would remain. The only modification would be the installation of a larger EMC in place of the current EMC on the pylon sign. The applicant is City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us requesting a BSM from the maximum permitted 50 square feet to 150 square feet. The new EMC would be slightly more narrow than the existing one, but of a greater height than the current EMC. The new EMC would be 19'-0"x 8'-0". The new EMC coupled with the existing cabinet sign yields a figure of 319 square feet of total freestanding sign area. This meets compliance in Urban Industrial lots of greater than two acres in area, which allow 400 square feet or less of all freestanding signage. There are no other changes to the site. FISCAL IMPACT Approving the request to construct a larger sign may result in a nominal assessed improvement valuation for the parcel. RECOMMENDATION The Plan Commission recommended approval of the Specific Implementation Plan Amendment at its September 18, 2018 meeting. Submitted, arryn Burich Director of Planning Services Approved: Mark A. Rohloff City Manager City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, Wl 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us ITEM: APPROVAL OF A SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AMENDMENT FOR A NEW ELECTRONIC MESSAGE CENTER AT 3530 OMNI DRIVE (OMNI GLASS & PAINT) Plan Commission meeting of September 18, 2018, GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: Karl Keas Owner: Omni Glass & Paint, Inc. Actions Requested: The applicant requests approval of a Specific Implementation Plan amendment for an electronic message center (EMC) upgrade at 3530 Omni Drive. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the Zoning Ordinance. The original Planned Development did not address signage, so EMC signage is subject to the area standards listed in Figure 30-290b of the Zoning Ordinance. Code Reference Regulation Figure 30-290b Electronic Message Boards: Maximum Area (per side): Urban Industrial - 50 sq. ft. Property Location and Background Information: The subject development is located north of where Interstate 41 and US -45 converge and consists of one parcel totaling approximately 12.27 acres (534,420 square feet) in size. The subject site is currently developed as Omni Glass & Paint, Inc. with a retail business and manufacturing. The development was approved with a Planned Development in October 2006. The original Conditional Use Permit/Planned Development (CUP/PD) was for Omni's facility which includes their commercial glass and paint operation and its associated office, manufacturing and retail showroom uses. The owners later received a Conditional Use Permit with a Planned Development Amendment for outside storage in 2007 (Resolution 07-229 at the August 28th, 2007 Council meeting) for outside storage on the site since the storage was not included as part of the original CUP/PD. The original CUP/PD was for a 70,000 sq. ft. building (62,000 sq. ft. footprint) broken down to three primary uses: 15,000 sq. ft. office and showroom area, 21,000 sq. ft. of paint production, and 34,000 sq. ft. of glass manufacturing. The development also includes a 2,600 sq. ft. cold storage building, a detention pond, two parking/loading areas and a private road running from Stearns Road to Fountain Avenue. Parking spaces proposed in the original development met the standards for office/showroom and manufacturing uses. In 2007, the property owner obtained a CUP/PD Amendment to convert some of the on-site parking to outside storage. Item — PD Amendment — 3530 Omni Drive The property has an Urban Industrial -Planned Development (UI -PD) zoning designation. The 10 and 20 year Comprehensive Land Use Plans recommend commercial development for the subject site. The development is bounded by additional parcels owned by Omni Glass & Paint to the north, Interstate 41 to the east, US -45 to the west and the interchange of Interstate 41 and US -45 to the south. Subject Site Existing Land Use Zoning Commercial/Manufacturing (Omni Glass & Paint) I UI -PD Adjacent Land Use and Zoning Existing Uses Zoning North Vacant Parcels (Omni Glass & Paint) UI -PD West US -45 N/A South Interstate 41/US-45 N/A East Interstate 41 N/A Comprehensive Plan Comprehensive Plan Land Use Recommendation Land Use 10 Year Land Use Recommendation Commercial 20 Year Land Use Recommendation Commercial ANALYSIS Use The applicant is not proposing any change of use to the property. All uses on site were covered in the original CUP/PD and CUP/PD Amendment. Site Design The subject site consists of one parcel with 76,815 sq. ft. of industrial/manufacturing space. The parcel contains the Omni facilities and associated parking on the central and north portions of the site with a drainage easement that runs from the western side of the site down through much of the southern portion of the site and up on the eastern portion of the parcel. The owner converted some of the parking to outside storage which was addressed as a CUP/PD Amendment. No changes to the site design other than the larger EMC sign are proposed as part of this PD Amendment. Access and Circulation Access and circulation were previously addressed as part of the original CUP/PD. No changes are proposed to the current access and circulation. Parking Parking was addressed as part of the original CUP/PD and no changes are proposed to the existing parking scheme. Item — PD Amendment — 3530 Omni Drive Signage and Lighting Lighting was addressed as part of the original CUP/PD and no changes are proposed to the existing lighting on-site. Signage was not addressed as part of the original CUP/PD or the CUP/PD Amendment, but no changes are proposed to any signage except the EMC mounted on the pylon sign on the east side of the site adjacent to Interstate 41. The applicant is requesting a base standard modification (BSM) from the maximum permitted 50 sq. ft. to 150 sq. ft. The existing pylon sign would remain with the only modification being that the applicant would install a larger EMC in place of the current EMC on the pylon sign. The new EMC would be slightly more narrow than the existing one, but of a greater height than the current EMC. The new EMC would be 19'-0"x 8'-0". The new EMC would be approximately 148 sq. ft. in area. The 148 sq. ft. of the proposed EMC coupled with the 171 sq. ft. of the existing cabinet sign yields a figure of 319 sq. ft. of total sign area. The applicant states that he is requesting the BSM for a larger EMC because the current EMC is difficult to read from Interstate 41. He states the distance from the freeway (approximately 220 feet) and speed of the traffic (often 70 mph or greater) make it difficult for motorists to read the sign. The applicant believes a larger EMC will greatly improve the ability for Omni Glass & Paint to reach their audience and improve viewing, making it safer for highway traffic. Staff examined the proposed signage plans and relevant ordinances. As mentioned previously, Figure 30-290b regulates the maximum area for EMCs in each zoning district. The figure also includes maximum areas for all freestanding signs in each district. For Urban Industrial lots of greater than two acres in area, the maximum area per side of all freestanding signs is 400 sq. ft. As far as staff is aware, no freestanding signage other than the pylon sign exists on the site. Staff believes that the requested BSM is supportable, assuming the total area of all freestanding signage on the site is 400 sq. ft. or less. Staff is supportive of the requested PD Amendment. On -Building Signage No changes are proposed to existing on -building signage. Landscaping Landscaping was originally addressed as part of the original CUP/PD approval and no changes are proposed to the existing landscaping on site. Storm Water Management Storm water management was discussed as part of the original CUP/PD and no changes are proposed to the storm water management on site. RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS Staff believes that the development meets the standards set forth in Section 30-387 of the Zoning Ordinance and has a positive impact on surrounding lands, will be harmonious with the intended character of the general vicinity and will not be detrimental to neighboring properties or the Item — PD Amendment — 3530 Omni Drive 3 community as a whole. Staff also feels that the proposal reflects the City's development and planning policies, enhances the appearance of the area and is architecturally compatible with nearby and adjacent structures lending a positive contribution to the physical appearance of land uses and buildings in the community. Staff recommends approval of the Planned Development Amendment with the following conditions: 1. Base standard modification from the maximum permitted area of 50 sq. ft. per site to allow an EMC of 150 sq. ft. in area. 2. Overall height of the EMC shall not increase from the present height. 3. Total area per side of all freestanding signage on the site shall not exceed the base standard of 400 sq. ft. total. 4. No modifications shall be made to other aspects of the site. Any future modifications shall be filed as separate requests and be reviewed by the Plan Commission. 5. Proposed EMC shall meet all ordinance standards for Electronic Message Boards, as explained in Section 30-280 of the Zoning Ordinance. The Plan Commission approved of the Planned Development Amendment as requested with conditions noted. The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item. Mr. Wiley presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area. The original Conditional Use Permit/Planned Development (CUP/PD) obtained in October 2006 was for Omnis facility which includes their commercial glass and paint operation with its associated office, manufacturing and retail showroom uses. The owners later received a CUP with a Planned Development Amendment for outside storage in August 2007 since the storage was not included as part of the original CUP/PD. The applicant is requesting a base standard modification (BSM) from the maximum permitted 50 sq. ft. to 150 sq. ft. The existing pylon sign would remain. The only modification would be to install a larger EMC in place of the current EMC on the pylon sign. The new EMC would be slightly more narrow than the existing one, but of a greater height than the current EMC. The applicant states that he is requesting the BSM for a larger EMC because the current EMC is difficult to read from Interstate 41. There are no other changes to the site. There was no discussion on this item. Motion by Vajgrt to approve a Specific Implementation Plan Amendment for a new electronic message center at 3530 Omni Drive (Omni Glass & Paint) with the following conditions: 1.

Proposed EMC shall meet all ordinance standards for Electronic Message Boards, as explained in Section 30-280 of the Zoning Ordinance. Seconded by Borsuk. Mr. Fojtik stated he has noticed how bright some of the Electronic Message Centers can be and questioned if there was an ordinance that would regulate the brightness. Mr. Lyons replied the code has some verbiage but not a lot. Mr. Fojtik and Mr. Burich discussed some of the brighter signs located off of Interstate 41. Mr. Lyons read verbatim the Electronic Message Centers code to Staff and the Plan Comtn.i.ssion. The code was broad and did not give details on lighting allowances. Mr. Burich added for future request, the standard could be applied. Motion carried 9-0.

Applicant's Signature (required): Date:' l Page 6 M ommi CLASS & PAINT August 6, 2018 City Of Osl1lcOsh 215 Church Ave Oshkosh, WI 54901 To Whom it May Concern: Omni Glass & Paint is requesting a base standard modification to increase the size of our EMC from the currently allowed 50 square feet to 150 square feet. The existing EMC is located on our existing Pylon sign approximately 220 feet from the Hwy 41. We feel we are in a similar position as the Outlet Shoppes at Oshkosh, who benefited from increasing the size of their EMC in 2017. We are proposing a new EMC of 8' x 18'6", due to the limited ability to read our current EMC, which does not read well from Hwy 41. The Hwy 41 traffic speed and distance from our sign (220 feet) make it very difficult to communicate to our target audience with the current EMC. A larger EMC will greatly improve the ability to reach our audience and improve viewing, which will also be safer for highway traffic. Please find enclosed Planned Development Application for your consideration.
