Plan commission approves Pizza Ranch, Starbucks reconfiguration and several certified survey maps

At its Jan. 8 meeting the Kenosha City Plan Commission approved multiple land-use items, including a conditional use permit for a 9,625-square-foot Pizza Ranch at 4955 Green Bay Road, an amended vehicle-facility permit at 2717 18th Street with deletion of a sidewalk-connection requirement (condition 2(c)), a 636‑square‑foot entry addition for the Boys & Girls Club (conditions to be established and public notice required), and an initial hearing to reconfigure a Starbucks drive-through at 3910 75th Street that the staff said would improve traffic flow on the site of a former city‑owned service station.

Daniel Baff of Brubecker Associates described design revisions for the Pizza Ranch, including added porches and articulation; commissioners expressed support and approved the permit subject to staff conditions. For the 2717 18th Street vehicle facility, resident Rick Stavenport urged waiving the sidewalk-connection requirement because of grade differences and a mature tree; the commission voted to remove condition 2(c) and approve the permit as amended.

Architects and staff described the Boys & Girls Club addition and a proposed two‑lot certified survey map in the Kenosha Innovation Neighborhood; the commission concurred with staff recommendations and established conditions as appropriate. The commission also approved a final plat for the Tyrell Woods subdivision and a three‑lot certified survey map at 4219 51st Avenue subject to the attached conditions.

All routine approvals were adopted by voice vote; where necessary staff will process conditions and prepare items for public notice or council action.
