The applicant also requests approval of General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan to allow for a contractor yard/office use. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: The Zoning Ordinance does not establish criteria relative to appropriateness of changing zoning from one classification to another but relies on the Comprehensive Plan and good planning principles.Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the Zoning Ordinance. Property Location and Background Information: The subject area consists of one parcel, approximately 4.17 acres in size,located on the west side of S. Washburn Street,south of State Highway 44. The subject site is currently used for a car dealership. The surrounding area consists of predominantly commercial uses. The 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends interstate commercial use for the subject area.

West Vacant SMU Page 1 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Recommendation Land Use 2040 Land Use Recommendation Interstate Commercial ANALYSIS Use The applicant is proposing to convert the existing car dealership to a headquarters for a full- service remediation contractor(Aquire Restoration), currently located at 2721 Oregon Street. The existing building on the site will be used to store the contractor's equipment, tools and company vehicles. The rear warehouse portion of the building will be used for storage of these items and accessed via overhead doors on the north and south sides of the building. The applicant has indicated that no machinery or tools will be stored outdoors. The proposed storage use(contractor yard) is not permitted in the Suburban Mixed Use District (SMU). The applicant is requesting a zone change to include a Planned Development Overlay. This would allow the applicant the ability to apply for a Base Standard Modification(BSM) to allow the proposed land use. Staff supports the zone change request to include the Planned Development as it will provided an opportunity to improve the site from its current condition. Staff is in support of the requested BSM as the proposed use of the site appears to be an appropriate land use and the associated parking lot work would be an improvement to the site overall. Site Design/Access The existing site is accessed via two shared driveways,on the north and south sides of the lot. A large paved parking lot surrounds the existing building with additional gravel areas used for storage at the rear of the site. The applicant plans to remove a large portion of the existing asphalt parking lot and restore to green space/landscaping. They also plan to remove all gravel areas at the rear of the lot and restore to green space. The remaining asphalt parking lot will be milled and resurfaced and concrete aprons replaced as they are currently in poor condition. The site plan for the resurfaced parking lot indicates 11 total parking spaces for customers/employees in front of the building. The proposed parking lot reduction is appropriate for the site as the contractor yard use requires significantly less parking than the existing vehicle sales use. Storm Water Management/Utilities The applicant has been in discussion with the Department of Public Works regarding storm water management for the area. Public Works has noted that storm water quality treatment requirements will be triggered due to the removal of a large amount of impervious surfaces. Finalized storm water management plans will need to be submitted and approved as part of the Site Plan Review processes. ITEM V. Rezone,GDP&SIP 2625 S. Washburn St. 2 Page 2 Landscaping The applicant is proposing to remove the existing landscape beds along S. Washburn Street and install new landscaping to include 2'high stone berms with a combination of evergreen and deciduous shrubs as well as a few existing trees. As no buildings or paved areas are being expanded, the zoning ordinance does not require additional landscaping for the site. Staff is supportive of the proposed landscaping modifications along S.Washburn Street as it should improve the appearance of the site from S. Washburn Street. Signage The applicant has not provided sign drawings for the development,but notes that they plan to reface the existing ground sign and restore the existing LED sign if possible. The site will be held to the sign standards as described for the SMU district. Site Lighting A photometric plan has been provided by the applicant. The plan will need to be modified to provide the minimum 0.4 fc for all parking/circulation areas. This can be addressed during the Site Plan Review process. Building Facades No major changes are being proposed to the existing building. The applicant does plan to replace the roofing as the existing roofing is failing,repaint the exterior of the building to a light grey color and the mansard on the front of the building will be painted a navy blue color. FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Planned Development district, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings based on the criteria established by Chapter 30-387 (C)(6): (a) The proposed Planned Development project is consistent with the overall purpose and intent of this Chapter. (b) The proposed Planned Development project is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and other area plans. (It is the responsibility of the City to determine such consistency.) (c) The proposed Planned Development project would maintain the desired relationships between land uses,land use densities and intensities, and land use impacts in the environs of the subject site. (d) Adequate public infrastructure is or will be available to accommodate the range of uses being proposed for the Planned Development project,including but not limited to public sewer and water and public roads. (e) The proposed Planned Development project will incorporate appropriate and adequate buffers and transitions between areas of different land uses and development densities/intensities. (f) The proposed Planned Development project design does not detract from areas of natural beauty surrounding the site. ITEM V. Rezone,GDP&SIP 2625 S. Mashburn St. 3 Page 3 (g) The proposed architecture and character of the proposed Planned Development project is compatible with adjacent/nearby development. (h) The proposed Planned Development project will positively contribute to and not detract from the physical appearance and functional arrangement of development in the area. (i) The proposed Planned Development project will produce significant benefits in terms of environmental design and significant alternative approaches to addressing development performance that relate to and more than compensate for any requested exceptions/base standard modifications variation of any standard or regulation of this Chapter. (j) For Planned Development projects that are proposed to be developed in phases, the applicant can provide a timeline for development and can demonstrate that the project would be successful even if all phases were not or could not be completed. Staff recommends approval of the Rezone, General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan with the findings listed above and the proposed following conditions: 1. Base Standard Modification to allow contractor yard/office use in Suburban Mixed Use District(SMU). 2. Lighting plan must be modified to meet City lighting code requirements. ITEM V.

Washburn Street, Oshkosh, WI 54902 Aquire Restoration, Inc. has been in business for over 11 years and is a specialty full- service remediation contractor (currently located at 2721 Oregon Street — Oshkosh) that responds to emergency service requests due to sudden, unforeseen damages to a property by a variety of perils. We are looking for a more efficient location for our company headquarters in order to respond more timely to properties all over NE Wisconsin. We have outgrown our current location of which we made significant cosmetic improvements over the 8 years we have owned/occupied the property. If you would like to view our current property, you will see the only items located outside of the buildings are company vehicles which will be moved inside of the property after our occupancy at 2625 S. Washburn Street Oshkosh. Our intention for this property is to complete significant, aesthetic improvements by: • Removing a large amount of the asphalt parking lot and restore to green space • Remove all gravel lots at the rear of the lot and restore to green space • Removing the current timber landscaped beds in front of the property (in disrepair) and replacing with a small "berm" of landscaping stone with smaller shrubs • Removing at least 6 large light poles on the property (with removing smaller lighting on existing poles as well) and installing smaller wall pak units attached to the building (lighting specs enclosed) as needed for security • Replacing concrete aprons (in disrepair) on the North/South side of the warehouse space with new concrete aprons and pipe bollards. • Repaint the exterior of the building to a light grey color and the Mansard on the front of the building a navy blue color • The existing, building pole sign will be refaced and, if possible, the existing LED sign will be restored and/or repaired to properly function • The remaining, existing asphalt parking lot will be milled and resurfaced with new asphalt. The current asphalt is in poor shape and our asphalt contractor stated milling and resurfacing is possible • The building will have a new roof installed as the current roof is failing • Obviously, all vehicles/assets and/or rubbish will be removed by the current owner after we purchase the property We do not intend to modify the building's shell or build onto the existing building at this time nor do we intend to change/upgrade any mechanicals and/or utilities for this property. All proposed changes are aesthetic improvements. We do not own, nor will we ever store large construction machinery and/or tools on the exterior of the property. All of our tools, machines and equipment (including company vehicles) will be housed inside the warehouse portion of the building. The ability to store all equipment/tools/assets inside is very attractive for us as there are 15 overhead doors on this property. We are planning on installing security cameras on the inside and outside of the building, controlled door access points along with a full security system on the building. Upon passing all city approvals for Page 9 our intended use and us purchasing the property from the current owner, we intend to invest a significant amount of money for the interior renovations as well. We have drafted rough plans for the interior space to accommodate our business needs. We will work with architects/engineering firms to draft final plans for city/state approval after we receive approval for this zoning change. We take pride in our buildings, our work product and will invite constituents from across the fox valley to tour/visit our building when it's fully completed. We anticipate the exterior and interior construction to be completed within 60 days of closing on the property (pending weather and/or receiving other city/state approvals). Long term aspirations of this property would be to acquire (no pun intended) the two parcels directly behind this property and construct mini warehousing units. These units would be nearly invisible from the street and would be secured by installation of private fencing, security cameras and automated, electronic access points.
