Commission recommends rezoning of parcels on South 179th Street, removing C1 overlay
Summary
The planning commission voted unanimously to recommend RZ2600594, a rezoning petition from Western Contractors to remove the C1 overlay from several parcels on South 179th Street after staff presented wetland registration documents and a conceptual site plan.
The New Berlin Planning Commission on May 4 recommended approval of rezoning petition RZ2600594, which would change several properties at and near 2445 and 2345 South 179th Street from M1/SPO/C1/C2 to M1/SPO/C2, effectively removing the C1 overlay in the affected area.
Staff explained that the applicant, identified in the record as John Spitz with Western Contractors, submitted a wetland registration and multiple soils reports supporting the applicant’s contention that buildings could be constructed on the parcels. Staff also showed a conceptual plan and noted a certified survey map process that consolidated several outlots; staff recommended forwarding a favorable recommendation to the common council and referenced the ordinance number cited in the staff notice.
The commission held the required public hearing and received no in-person speakers on the rezoning; staff noted the notice had been published April 15 and April 22, 2026. After discussion, the commission voted unanimously to recommend adoption of the rezoning ordinance to the common council. The matter will now move to the common council for final action.
