West Bend plan commission approves conversion of River Drive site from multifamily to two‑family
Summary
The Plan Commission voted Aug. 6 to change the recommended land use and rezone about 0.5 acre at 1904–1914 River Drive from multifamily (RM4) to two‑family (RD2), following one public comment and staff recommendation citing lot constraints.
The West Bend Plan Commission on Aug. 6 approved a comprehensive‑plan amendment and rezoning to allow a two‑family building at 1904–1914 River Drive.
Staff introduced Comprehensive Plan amendment No. 30 and a concurrent rezoning request, saying the parcel (about 0.5 acre) became vacant after a structure fire and that lot grades, easements and utilities limit the property’s developable footprint. Staff noted the request came from the property owner’s agent; American Construction was identified as the agent present to help answer questions.
John Reynolds, who identified himself during public comment, asked who is behind the project and what will be built; staff said the agent could supply contact information. After the public hearing closed, commissioners moved, seconded and voted verbally to approve the recommended land‑use change from multifamily to two‑family and to rezone the parcel from RM4 (multifamily residential) to RD2 (two‑family residential).
No roll‑call vote was recorded in the meeting minutes; approvals were taken by voice and recorded as carried. Staff asked the commission to approve the resolution attached to the meeting packet to formalize the change.
The action clears the way for a smaller two‑family structure on the site, subject to applicable permitting and building‑code review.
