ITEM V: PUBLIC HEARING: ZONE CHANGE FROM INSTITUTIONAL DISTRICT (I)
TO INSTITUTIONAL DISTRICT WITH A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
OVERLAY (I-PD), GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND SPECIFIC
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR A BALL DIAMOND LOCATED AT
RAINBOW PARK, GENERALLY DESCRIBED AS THE NORTHEAST CORNER
OF PUNHOOUA STREET AND RAINBOW DRIVE
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: Parks Department
Owner: City of Oshkosh
Action(s) Requested:
The applicant requests a zone change from the existing Institutional District (I) to Institutional
District with a Planned Development Overlay (I-PD), approval for a General Development Plan
and Specific Implementation Plan for a portion of Rainbow Park,located at the northeast corner
of Punhoqua Street and Rainbow Drive.
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.
Background Information,Property Location and Type:
The subject area currently consists of one parcel approximately 10.62 acres in size. The subject
site is part of Rainbow Park. The Rainbow Park Master Plan, adopted in 2013, identified this area
as suitable for development of a 200'ball diamond. The surrounding area consists of single
family residential and multi-family residential land uses to the south and west and the Fox River
to the north and east. The 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends Park use for the
subject area.

ANALYSIS
Use/Site Design
The petitioner is proposing to construct a 225'ball diamond at the northeast corner of Rainbow
Drive and Punhoqua Street. The 2013 Rainbow Park Master plan identified this area as a suitable
location for an additional ball diamond. The City of Oshkosh Parks Department is now ready to
move forward with that plan.
The City of Oshkosh adopted a new zoning ordinance in 2017, which included limitation for fence
heights in all zoning districts. The proposed ball diamond includes three twenty foot sections of
24 foot tall backstop fencing and 10' fencing running the length of the infield. Six foot tall fencing
would encompass the outfield. The maximum allowed fence height within the Institutional
District is 6'. In order to accommodate the higher fence required for a ball diamond, the applicant
is proposing to rezone to include a Planned Development Overlay and seek a Base Standard
Modification (BSM) for fence height. Staff is in support of the fence height BSM as the
development is appropriate for park uses and was established as an appropriate location during
the park master planning process. The additional fence height should not have a detrimental
impact on the area. Planning staff was concerned with the potential impacts field lightning could
have on the adjacent residential area. The applicant has stated the ball diamond will not be lit,
therefore staff recommends a condition prohibiting lights. Should the applicant wish to light the
field at a future date, they would be required obtain a separate Specific Implementation Plan
amendment and the impact of the lights can be evaluated at that time. The applicant is also
proposing to construct two dugouts and a small section of bleachers.
Staff is in support of a zone change to include the Planned Development Overlay as the subject
site is presently being utilized as park and the previously approved park master plan indicated a
potential ball diamond use for this area of the park. Staff also reviewed other aspects of the 2013
Rainbow Park Master Plan and noted that when several other elements identified in that plan
move forward they will also likely require Base Standard Modifications. By establishing the
Planned Development as this time, it will be easier for those improvements to move forward in
the future.
Storm Water Management/Utilities
No changes are proposed related to storm water management.

Landscaping
No landscaping improvements are proposed as part of this development.
Signage
The applicant has not indicated any advertising signage. They have included the proposed
scoreboard. The proposed scoreboard area is 4'x9'. The scoreboard will also include a field sign
and a small approximately 4'x5' advertising panel. The location and size of the advertising panel
would not be classified as a sign per the city code as it is intended to only provide information to
on-site occupants and not people within the public right-of-way.
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.
(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
exceptionsibase 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.
