The City of Oshkosh Plan Commission approved a series of land‑use actions on Dec. 2, 2025, including a direct annexation to permit a Furno Avenue extension, site plan amendments for two developments and a final plat creating 30 single‑family lots in Casey's Meadow South.
Staff presented each item and recommended adoption of findings and conditions. The commission voted unanimously on most actions: the consent agenda (minus an item pulled for discussion) and approvals for a parcel acquisition for stormwater detention, an annexation on West Furnall Avenue, an SIP amendment at 740 South Main (Mill On Main), an industrial design‑standards variance for a storage building on Furno Court, a zone change to heavy industrial with a plan development overlay, and proposed zoning ordinance text amendments to building height, stormwater imperviousness and sign setbacks. Several items had technical questions from commissioners but drew no public testimony.
Votes at a glance (item — outcome — roll‑call tally):
• Consent agenda (minus item 3) — approved — 9–0.
• Purchase of Lot 2 from Valley Christian Schools for a stormwater detention basin — approved — 9–0.
• West Furnall Avenue annexation (approx. 2.36 acres) — recommended for approval — 9–0.
• Mill On Main SIP amendment (740 S. Main; +1 dwelling unit) — approved — 9–0.
• Wastewater treatment ancillary buildings (architectural approval) — approved — 8–1 (Miss Davey opposed).
• Industrial design variance for Winnebago County Housing Authority building — approved — 9–0.
• Zone change to heavy industrial w/ plan dev overlay (Southwest Industrial Park) — approved — 9–0.
• Zoning text amendments (height, stormwater, sign setbacks) — approved — 9–0.
• Casey's Meadow South final plat (30 lots) — approved — 7–2 (Mister Pollock and Vice chair Kiefer opposed).
Why it matters: the approvals move several development projects and public‑works improvements forward — including road and utility extensions tied to new housing — while highlighting recurring policy questions at the commission level about municipal costs, parkland adequacy and opportunities for renewable energy on public facilities. The items will be forwarded as appropriate to the Common Council or implemented through city staff processes.
The commission recessed midmeeting for advertised public hearings and reconvened; the session concluded with announcements about moving future meetings to the council chambers and adjournment.
