ITEM VII: PUBLIC HEARING: TEXT AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: Department of Community Development
Actions Requested:
The City of Oshkosh Department of Community Development requests review and approval of
amendments to the Oshkosh Zoning Ordinance.
Applicable Ordinance Provisions:
Section 30-380 of the Zoning Ordinance establishes the ability of the Common Council, on its own
motion or on petition after first submitting the proposal to the City Plan Commission, to amend,
supplement or change Zoning District boundaries or regulations of the Zoning Ordinance.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City of Oshkosh adopted a new zoning ordinance which went into effect on January 1, 2017.
Since the adoption of the ordinance, staff has noticed a number of code sections that should be
modified following further examination and discussion with the public and developers.
ANALYSIS
Staff proposes amendments to the following Zoning Ordinance code sections:
Section 30-80 (D) regarding new land use: Manufacturing Retail
Create Manufacturing Retail land use with description under Industrial Land Uses.
This new land use is meant to accommodate sales of foods or beverages where foods or beverages
are manufactured in limited quantity. Examples include confectioners,bakeries, and brew pubs.
Section 30-52 (B) regarding 12ermitted uses in Suburban Mixed Use Districts (SMU)
Create new subsection(24) to include "Manufacturing Retail" as a permitted use in Suburban
Mixed Use Districts.
Manufacturing Retail is a newly proposed land use category. Staff feels that it is appropriate as a
permitted use in SMU districts.
Section 30-61 (B) regarding permitted uses in Urban Industrial Districts (UI)
Create new subsection(14) to include "Manufacturing Retail" as a permitted use in Urban
Industrial Districts.
Page 1
Manufacturing Retail is a newly proposed land use category. Staff feels that it is appropriate as a
permitted use in UI districts.
Section 30-62 (B) regarding permitted uses in Heavy Industrial Districts (HI)
Create new subsection(15) to include "Manufacturing Retail" as a permitted use in Heavy
Industrial Districts.
Manufacturing Retail is a newly proposed land use category. Staff feels that it is appropriate as a
permitted use in HI districts.
Section 30-53 (C) regarding conditional uses in Urban Mixed Use Districts (UMU)
Create new subsection(16) to include "Manufacturing Retail" as a conditional use in Urban
Mixed Use Districts.
Manufacturing Retail is a newly proposed land use category. Staff feels that it is appropriate as a
conditional use in UMU districts.
Section 30-54 (C) regarding conditional uses in Central Mixed Use Districts (CMU)
Create new subsection(19) to include "Manufacturing Retail" as a conditional use in Central
Mixed Use Districts.
Manufacturing Retail is a newly proposed land use category. Staff feels that it is appropriate as a
conditional use in CMU districts.
Section 30-55 (C) regarding conditional uses in Riverfront Mixed Use Districts (RMU)
Create new subsection(17) to include "Manufacturing Retail" as a conditional use in Riverfront
Mixed Use Districts.
Manufacturing Retail is a newly proposed land use category. Staff feels that it is appropriate as a
conditional use in RMU districts.
Section 30-74 table of land uses regarding new land use for Manufacturing Retail
Modify land use table to include Manufacturing Retail as permitted and conditional in previously
listed districts.
Section 30-86 (E) regarding Home Occupations
Amend subsection(1) to prohibit home occupations from being conducted in garages.
This amendment is to provide consistency with the Building Code,which only allows home
occupations within dwelling units.
Section 30-114 (E)regarding projections into required interior side yards
Amend subsection(1) to include egress windows as allowable projections into the interior side
yard.
Item VII-Text Amendments-Zoning Ordinance 2
Page 2
Egress windows are currently not addressed as allowable projections. Staff feels the same
allowable projection for open fire escapes and balconies (3 1/2 ft.) should be provided for egress
windows.
Section 30-172 (N) regarding driveway width
Amend subsection(2)(c)to allow driveways leading to attached garages up to the side yard
setback for accessory structures for single and two family uses.
Amend subsection(3)(a), (b), (c) to allow single and two family driveways to be a maximum of 36
ft. (no wider than garage) at the property line and extend beyond the width of the garage toward
the nearest side lot line no more than 12 feet,up to side yard setback for accessory structures.
Code currently requires driveways leading to attached garages to meet the side yard setback for
principal structures and limits the width to 24' at the property line. This change is being
proposed to allow increased driveway widths for residential uses and additional driveway area
outside the width of the garage. The request is the result of input from numerous property
owners who wish to expand their driveways beyond current code requirements.
Figure 30-172 (a),(b (c) regarding residential drivewa3�s
Amend figures to be consistent with proposed driveway width changes.
Section 30-175 (U)regarding uses of off-street parking areas
Amend subsection(3)(h) to allow 1 light-duty tow truck parked on residential lots when on call
under Winnebago County rotating call list.
Code currently only allows a light-duty tow truck on a residential lot when on call under the list
established by the Oshkosh Police Department. This change is the result of requests to also allow
a light-duty tow truck when on call under the Winnebago County rotating call list.
Section 30-190 Q regarding exterior lighting requirements
Amend subsection(4)(d)(ii) to provide a maximum fixture mounting height of 20 ft. for the
Riverfront Mixed Use (RMU) district.
This changes is the result of an oversight as RMU was not included in this Section.
Section 30-192 (F) regarding maximum fence height
Create subsections (1)(a)(iii), (1)(b)(iii), and (1)(c)(iii) to allow 6 ft. or 8 ft. tall fencing (depending
on zoning district) on the long side of corner lots, provided it meets the setback of the principal
structure or what would be required for that of a principal structure based on lot dimensions.
The Ordinance currently does not address fencing height exceptions for corner lots. This change
is consistent with that of the previous zoning ordinance.
Section 30-241 (D) regarding facades of changes and additions for single and two family uses
Item VII-Text Amendments-Zoning Ordinance 3
Page 3
Amend subsections (6)(a) and (c) to exclude interior side facades from window/door area
requirements.
This change is to provide consistency with window/door requirements for new homes in new
neighborhoods, which do not include a window/door requirement for interior side facades.
Section 30-241 (E)regarding_fa�ades of new construction on infill sites for single and two family
uses
Amend subsections (7) and (7)(a) to exclude interior side facades from window/door area
requirements for new construction on infill sites.
This change is to provide consistency with window/door requirements for new homes in new
neighborhoods, which do not include a window/door requirement for interior side facades.
Section 30-242 (H) regarding standing seam metal roofs for multi-family uses
Create new section and conditions (1) through(11) to allow standing seam metal roofs for multi-
family uses.
This section is being created to provide the ability for multi-family uses to have standing seam
metal roofs under the same standards as single and two family uses.
Section 30-253 (B)regarding landscaping for paved areas
Amend subsection(4)(e) to allow two medium trees or one tall deciduous tree per parking row
island.
The current code requires two shade or tall deciduous trees per island. Staff has been made
aware of difficulties fitting two shade/tall deciduous trees per island and this amendment is
meant to provide more feasible options for plantings in the islands.
Section 30-271(B) regarding Permanent Business Sims Group
Create subsections (2)(a)(ii) and (3)(e)(v) to permit dual post signs and wall signs for townhouse,
multiplex, and apartment uses.
These multi-family uses are currently only allowed to have monument signs under the
Permanent Business Signs Group category. These changes will also allow for dual post and wall
signs as staff feels these sign types are appropriate for multi-family uses.
Section 30-271 (D)regarding Building Management Identification Signs
Amend subsection(2)(b)to further specify information allowed on building management
identification signs and create subsections (2)(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), and (vi) to establish placement
and material requirements.
These changes are meant to address concerns related to rental signs, specifically in the UW-
Oshkosh campus area.
Item VII-Text Amendments-Zoning Ordinance 4
Page 4
Section 30-271 (E)regarding Yard Sims Group
Create new subsection(1)(b) and (1)(b)(i) to provide maximum number of days for yard signs and
ability to apply for CUP for additional time.
Yard signs currently do not have a time limitation, which has resulted in concerns over year-
round yard signs. This change is to prevent these signs from being up year-round.
Section 30-282 (A)regarding Si rage for Group and Large Developments
Amend section to provide correct cross-reference for Group and Large Developments.
This is a correction to an error in the code.
Figure 30-290b regarding electronic message boards in multi-family districts and maximum sign
area for on-building signage
Revise figure to not allow electronic message board signs in multi-family districts and revise the
"Notes" so that the minimum 50 sq. ft. of area for on-building signs only applies to the SMU
district and multi-family residential districts are limited to 25 sq. ft. for on-building signage.
This revision is needed to correct an error in the code. Electronic message boards were intended
to be prohibited in multi-family districts. Also, after further discussion, staff feels that the
minimum 50 sq. ft. of on-building signage (regardless of facade length) per tenant is only
appropriate in the SMU district. Staff also feels that multi-family on-building signage should not
exceed the area that is allowed for free-standing signage.
Figure 30-290c regarding Waving Signs, Building Management Identification Signs, and On-Site
Directional Signs
Revise figure so that number of waving signs and maximum height/area of building management
ID signs is consistent with corresponding code sections. Also reduce maximum height of on-site
directional signs to 3 feet.
These revisions are necessary to correspond with previous code sections. The reduction in on-site
directional sign maximum height is to provide vision clearance if they are placed close to the
street.
Section 30-344 (B)regarding Zoning Board of Appeals
Amend section to include correct Wisconsin Statute.
This code change is to correct the reference to Wisconsin Statute.
Section 30-381 (H) regarding Review and Action by Common Council
Amend subsection(3)to provide correct voting procedures for zoning map changes.
This revision is to remove the 3/4 vote requirement for zone changes, as only a simple majority is
required.

Staff feels that the proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance will solve some problems that
have been identified and ultimately strengthen the Code.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Plan Commission recommend approval of the proposed amendments
to the Oshkosh Zoning Ordinance.
