Commission approves mixed-use redevelopment on N. Main/Jefferson: daycare, 39 apartments and townhomes
Summary
Commissioners approved a redevelopment combining 12 parcels into a mixed-use project with a three-story mixed-use building (daycare on ground floor, 39 apartments above) and townhomes on Jefferson; several base-standard modifications were permitted and offset by increased landscaping and materials. Vote 6-0.
The Plan Commission on Sept. 17 approved a large mixed-use redevelopment on the east side of the 600 block of North Main Street and the west side of the 600 block of Jefferson Street. The City of Oshkosh Redevelopment Authority is listed as owner and Corridor Development LLC as applicant.
Staff described a project that combines 12 vacant parcels into a single development with a three-story commercial-residential building along North Main (commercial/daycare at ground level and 39 apartment units on upper floors) and several townhouse buildings along Jefferson. The proposal calls for eight townhouse units and a total of 50 parking spaces on-site (code requires 55); staff recommended BSMs for reduced parking, reduced setbacks (including 0-foot front/rear setbacks on Jefferson in places), reduced outdoor recreation area (1,650 sq ft proposed vs 3,400 required), limited lighting reductions in drive areas and a slight reduction of class-1 material percentage on a Main Street facade (44% vs 50% required). Staff says the applicant offsets the BSM requests with 129% of required landscaping points and approx. a 6% surplus in class-1 materials overall.
Justin Mitchell (developer representative) and project team members explained design goals to tuck parking behind buildings and add a childcare operator for the ground-floor space; architect Josh Summerfeld described exterior materials (brick/class-1 materials on much of the street-facing façade, LP siding and color samples) and answered commissioners' material-location questions. Several commissioners praised the project as a quality addition to the urban core and approved it by roll-call, 6-0.
Next steps: the project will proceed to final SIP-level sign-off and coordination with staff on parking-lot dimensions, required shade trees and minor landscape adjustments.
