Greendale panel approves zoning change to allow adult day programming at 5400 S. 60th St.
Summary
The Plan Commission approved a text amendment to the O (Office Research) district to add adult day programming and other uses at 5400 S. 60th St.; staff recommended approval subject to village attorney review and an ordinance amendment to Section 17.27.
The Village of Greendale Plan Commission on Sept. 10 approved a zoning text amendment to allow adult day programming, warehouse uses and catering kitchens at 5400 South 60th Street, the commission’s staff said.
Planner/Staff presented the application from Tadish Properties, IV LLC and said the change would expand permitted and conditional uses in the O (Office Research) district to help lease remaining space in the building. "The applicant wishes to expand the permitted and conditional uses allowed in the O Office Research District to support leasing their remaining spaces and to further activate the existing building," staff said in the presentation.
The amendment adds adult day programming as a permitted use in the O district (it is not currently listed in any Greendale zoning district), and proposes several other permitted and conditional uses. Staff recommended approving the application but asked that the village attorney review the draft language and prepare an ordinance amending Section 17.27 of the municipal code.
Commissioners questioned whether adult day programming should be a permitted use without conditions. One commissioner said the service previously operated in the building under Goodwill and described adult day services as a community need; another argued the use should be conditional so the commission could require site-specific standards. Staff and other commissioners noted that conditional uses require subsequent review and that the proposed draft could be refined by the village attorney before the ordinance is introduced to the Village Board.
After discussion the commission voted to approve the application as presented. The approval was conditioned on attorney review and the drafting of an ordinance that the commission will forward to the Village Board for final action.
The next step is for the village attorney to prepare formal ordinance language amending Section 17.27; the ordinance will then proceed to the Village Board for consideration.
