TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Mark Lyons, Planning Services Manager DATE: August 27, 2024 SUBJECT: *Ord 24-485 Approve Zone Change from Institutional District (I) to Single Family Residential-9 District (SR-9) at 929 Winnebago Avenue (Plan Commission Recommends Approval)

BACKGROUND

The petitioner is requesting a zone change of the former Washington Elementary School site. The subject area consists of one 2.66-acre parcel with frontage on Winnebago Avenue and School Avenue, east of Bowen Street. The surrounding area consists of single and two-family uses. Common Council recently approved a comprehensive land use map amendment from Community Facility to Light Density Residential for the subject site.

ANALYSIS

The City is in the process of acquiring the subject site and has agreed upon preliminary terms with Habitat for Humanity of Oshkosh to construct workforce affordable homes. In order to allow for construction of single-family homes, the area will need to be rezoned to a zoning district that allows single-family residential uses, and split into residential-sized lots through the platting process. The proposed Single Family Residential-9 (SR-9) zoning designation matches the zoning of the surrounding residential properties, which allows for single and two-family residential uses. The proposed SR–9 zoning designation is also consistent with the recently amended 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommendation of Light Density Residential for the subject site.

RECOMMENDATION

The Plan Commission recommended approval of the requested zone change at 929 Winnebago Avenue with findings on August 20, 2024. Please see the attached staff report and meeting minutes for more information.
