Staff said the follow‑up presentation will use site‑specific examples to show how proposed new district classifications (for example the differences between existing R‑1 and proposed R‑1) would apply to city lots, and will demonstrate how consolidated commercial/business districts and proposed mixed‑use allowances would operate. \"This presentation will, again, be limited to circling back to the variety of questions that the commission and others posed at their last meeting because I think there's a lot of ground to cover. We will not be introducing new material,\" city planning staff said.

Commissioners discussed scheduling options; staff suggested June 23, July 7 or July 21 as potential dates and said they will check the consultant’s availability and report back. Commissioners indicated a preference for a date after the July 4 holiday so the commission and consultant have time to review materials; staff said the presentation materials will be distributed in advance to allow commissioners to prepare specific questions.

No formal action was taken; staff will follow up with commission members and the consultant to finalize the meeting date and circulate presentation materials in advance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Janesville, WI - Plan Commission - Jun 02, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City planning staff said they are scheduling a follow‑up presentation by the consultant to revisit proposed zone‑district changes and dimensional standards; possible dates include June 23, July 7 or July 21, with staff to confirm availability.","taxTitle","Janesville, Rock County, Wisconsin","taxId",4654,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6639445,"Plan Commission backs relocation order to secure railroad easements for East Memorial Drive reconstruction",256,685000,941000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3677381-d3d48cac638233a6feaa0933283f8619&start=685&end=941","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3677381-d3d48cac638233a6feaa0933283f8619/thumbnail_685000.jpg","/articles/6639445/Janesville/Rock-County/Wisconsin/Plan-Commission-backs-relocation-order-to-secure-railroad-easements-for-East-Memorial-Drive-reconstruction","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6639445-c955f199a668a5e22c9b938131768ca8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154925&Signature=QjkNm-35blTGQVUPdN36uv5Vto28KKYOjnW9xmo91yG6svnNfxSeJIUH04CFLtjK6b8XxFDUP3ohbOuAOM-qHdacpKAFiVSuIeiPBa-hLzj1QZcG7OeleJZT37ySkAXu8ppoa8cC3YQ6nhkqUa7-dtAB8k5psLMTmTDUe~lMvNtwH9owQaIIHw-HYtzNGrOT28d2YyyQIMjVIaE~Smyp8xA6kDxSqE47TFwM~TGSdC3YgGSzIvvI9Mg~VK52fpMhN4VI~~RsO0QrMAi4o9TdQFqYgaVDGm~BCM7uPQQY8poaUgaDTQj6HY8DH-TS~oDM4KG6hbTsSF~5bVAtpWNPVg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Janesville Plan Commission on June 2 recommended that the City Council proceed with a relocation order to acquire permanent limited easements needed for reconstruction of East Memorial Drive and the North Parker Drive interchange.

City staff said the reconstruction project — being developed in coordination with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and currently scheduled for 2027 — will require pavement replacement, minor realignment of ramps for improved merging and visibility, and replacement of sidewalks and storm sewer. \"The preliminary design for this portion of the project determined that what are referred to as permanent limited easements will be necessary to support sidewalk and stormwater facilities that are located within the Union Pacific Railroad right of way,\" city staff member Dwayne said, explaining that those easements would remain only for the duration of construction and would terminate on project completion.

Because railroads often require lengthy negotiations, staff said the relocation order is the first step filed with the Rock County Clerk’s Office before the city begins discussion or negotiation with property owners and the railroad. Staff recommended the commission find the need and location of the easements consistent with city plans; the recommendation also noted that the Plan Commission had not reviewed the financial aspects of the transactions.

Commissioner Williams moved to find the acquisition of the permanent limited easements consistent with city plans and to recommend the City Council proceed; Commissioner Dungarett seconded. A unanimous roll‑call vote recorded all commissioners present in favor. Staff said the item will appear on the City Council agenda on June 9.

The project remains in the preliminary design and easement‑acquisition stage; staff indicated additional requests related to the project will likely return to the commission as the design and property negotiations progress.","The commission recommended the City Council proceed with acquisition of permanent limited easements within Union Pacific Railroad right‑of‑way to support the East Memorial Drive STP‑Urban reconstruction project, scheduled for 2027.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6639450,"Plan Commission approves Culver’s drive‑through expansion, reduces parking requirement",578,93000,671000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3677381-d3d48cac638233a6feaa0933283f8619&start=93&end=671","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3677381-d3d48cac638233a6feaa0933283f8619/thumbnail_93000.jpg","/articles/6639450/Janesville/Rock-County/Wisconsin/Plan-Commission-approves-Culvers-drivethrough-expansion-reduces-parking-requirement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6639450-6ede10f9e720816c3c28caed6ab879f3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154925&Signature=i8jSD0Fy0dyQ9cDtYfKM~7h5j7qLIt3QUgelXGjxTZakoBxn0Uc8LjHKWvumzGsyLAZzVKyaIGDQnoVk6TTakTXxQWoonne~6Y3W6iSBvi3~5HCjtanTyaYjLGTr0P8Qim08HK3bO81Vl4S~tp0b8IqEL9e6d9XVFkfYr-qwoBttVLinoYwpi7qhZSy6VJrJf0Pphk0wZfBf6ZOMFWdB0Y4MWdCrG~v1cF2Y-iABo1QGYVoYeNYiPHanRFGbbEnIokLyTrXmmjORve4V78wuw4~7W4axhbMsZzE44plExsHUKJvd-r67WMjiY71kmeJbGDhuxVrJvLD1uA5csOzazg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Janesville Plan Commission voted unanimously June 2 to approve a conditional use permit amendment allowing Culver’s at 2421 West Court Street to expand its drive‑through and to reduce the site’s minimum off‑street parking requirement from 69 stalls to 49.

The commission’s approval follows a staff presentation that described the proposed changes and recommended the conditional use amendment subject to conditions in the Planning Division memorandum dated 06/02/2025. \"Currently, the drive through has space to accommodate approximately 14 vehicles in the drive through queue. With expansion, approximately 18 vehicles would fit in the queue with an additional 6 vehicles able to be stored in the adjacent waiting area,\" planner Trey Meyer said, summarizing the project’s stacking changes and the proposal to add a second menu board.

Meyer told commissioners the subject property sits in the B‑3 General Commercial District and is within the Court Street Plaza planned unit development approved in 1992; drive‑through restaurants are a conditional use in that district. He said the restaurant currently operates with 56 parking stalls and that the broader planned unit development provides shared parking of about 285 stalls. \"Staff believe this reduction is appropriate for several reasons,\" Meyer said, noting the site’s high share of drive‑through customers and the shared parking arrangement across the PUD.

Under the approved plan the site would provide 49 paved stalls: 13 on the eastern portion designated for employees and 36 on the west for customers. The staff recommendation notes that adding the number of stalls required to meet the zoning calculation would reduce on‑site green space, an outcome staff judged less desirable.

No members of the public spoke during the hearing. The property owner (Ron Barr Properties LLC) attended and did not offer public comment. Commissioner Marklin moved to allow the reduction in parking, to find the project compliant with the standards for conditional use approval in the Janesville zoning ordinance, and to approve the conditional use permit amendment subject to conditions listed in the 06/02/2025 planning memorandum; Commissioner Williams seconded. A voice vote recorded all commissioners present in favor and the motion carried.

The conditional use permit approval is subject to the conditions enumerated in the Planning Division memorandum dated 06/02/2025. The planning record indicates additional site plan details — including landscaping, on‑site utility improvements and the addition of green space — are depicted in the project plans submitted with the application.","The Janesville Plan Commission approved a conditional use permit amendment to expand the Culver’s drive‑through at 2421 West Court Street and authorized a reduction in required off‑street parking from 69 to 49 stalls, subject to conditions in the planning memorandum.","actionData","errors"]
