Since adoption of the ordinance, staff has noticed a number of code sections that need to be "cleaned up" because they aren't working the way they were intended or something did not follow through from the previous ordinance or changes at the State level necessitated the change. Staff has identified 27 code provisions that are being requested to improve implementation of the new Zoning Ordinance. Staff is also anticipating that as it continues to implement the new Zoning Ordinance that other amendments will be required and will likely propose such changes quarterly or as needed. ANALYSIS Staff proposes amendments to the various Zoning Ordinance code sections outlined in the attached Plan Commission's Staff report. Staff feels that the proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance will solve some problems that have been identified and ultimately strengthen the Code. Most of the changes deal with uses in existing districts or provide for additional development options such as permitting standing steel roofs on multiple family buildings. Other changes allow for greater flexibility in development or add permitted uses to a district and some address signage issues. FISCAL IMPACT Most of the changes have little or no fiscal impact nor do they require any enhanced development standards that would potentially increase the cost of development.

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 permitted 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. 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 (IZIVIU) 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. Item-Tevt Amendments-Zoning Ordinance 2 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. Egress windows are currently not addressed as allowable projections. Staff feels the same allowable projection for open fire escapes and balconies (31/2 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 driveways 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 (E)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. Item-Tevt Amendments-Zoning Ordinance 3 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 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 facades 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 Signs 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. Item-Te-tt Amendments Zoning Ordinance 4 These changes are meant to address concerns related to rental signs, specifically in the UW- Oshkosh campus area. Section 30-271 (E) regarding Yard Signs 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 Signage 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 fagade 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. Item-Text Amendments-Zoning Ordinance 5 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. The Plan Commission approved of the Zoning Text Amendment as requested. The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item. Staff report accepted as part of the record. The City of Oshkosh Department of Community Development requests review and approval of amendments to the Oshkosh Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Slusarek discussed the amendments to the Zoning Ordinance as presented in the staff report. Mr. Fojtik opened technical questions to staff. Mr. Fojtik questioned the reason for the amendments. Mr. Lyons said some of the items are changes due to the new code not aligning correctly. He said a couple of them are changing because state law language changed. He said a majority of them are clean up items due to the intent and verbiage not matching up correctly. Ms. Palmeri asked for clarification on signage. She asked if the code verbiage would address if the sign was hand lettered or spray painted. Mr. Lyons explained in certain districts, a quality of sign is required.
