Plan Commission approves series of routine zoning, subdivision and roadway amendments
Summary
The commission approved updates including the Froedtert South PUD text amendment (name and height changes), a certified survey map to split 4615 116th Street into two lots, and zoning and land-division clarifications for public/private roadway definitions; all items passed by voice vote and staff will record the approvals and follow up on permit- and assessment-related steps.
At the meeting the Plan Commission approved multiple non-controversial planning items by voice vote.
Froedtert South PUD: Staff proposed cleanup amendments to the St. Catherine’s Hospital Medical Center campus PUD, including renaming it "Froedtert South Medical Campus, planned unit development," correcting legal descriptions, removing sign exhibits that regulated messaging, and aligning district height limits to allow a maximum building height of 100 feet (the existing hospital/top-of-cross measured just under that height). No members of the public spoke and the commission approved the PUD text amendment.
Certified Survey Map (Gulats): Michael Gulats sought to subdivide 4615 116th Street into two lots, each just under 18,000 square feet with specified frontage. Staff said the lots meet R-4 district requirements and have sewer and water access; special assessments were listed (Lot 2: $22,535; Lot 1: $16,878 due when a new house permit is pulled). The commission approved the CSM.
Roadway and land-division text amendments: The commission approved zoning text amendments to clarify public and private roadway requirements and aligned definitions of arterial and collector streets between the zoning ordinance and the land-division and development control ordinance. Staff said the changes reduce ambiguity between code sections.
Zoning-permit text initiation: Staff also introduced (and the commission approved) a resolution to initiate zoning permit language changes to tighten code language related to ongoing permit violations; this will be taken up by the village board and staff will revise building-permit language to match code changes.
All items were approved by voice vote; the commission recorded motions and asked staff to implement administrative follow-up steps including GIS updates, recording of approvals, and notification of applicants and affected parties.
