Plan Commission recommends reapproving Dayton Street Partners planned development
Summary
The commission recommended approval of a reactivated planned development (about 38–39 acres) after a COVID‑era lapse returned the site to BP zoning; the developer said engineering, DRC and Board of Works approvals remain before final plats.
Todd Leith, attorney for the petitioners, told commissioners the Dayton Street Partners project — roughly 38–39 acres south of I‑94 west of Willow Creek — previously received plan commission and council approvals but reverted to Business Park (BP) zoning after COVID‑era delays. Leith said the applicants are seeking a new preliminary planned development approval and explained that any final platting and engineered design work will follow separate DRC and Board of Works reviews.
Leith cited the city’s PUD provisions and explained that, because the prior preliminary approval expired, the zoning reverted: "it reverts back to the BP zoning," he said. Commissioners and the developer discussed site configuration, likely light‑manufacturing/distribution tenants, truck access at Coca Cola Drive/Willow Creek and required buffering for nearby residences and a mobile‑home community. A public commenter raised concerns about a daycare that opened at the park entrance and potential air‑quality risks from historical industrial uses; the petitioner said they are targeting credit tenants in distribution/manufacturing with standard landscaping, loading and parking.
A motion to give a favorable recommendation for Z‑04‑26 (the reapproval) passed on roll call. The applicant and staff were directed to proceed with the required engineering, Board of Works approvals for vacating/altering Coca Cola Avenue and Marine Drive, and subsequent final‑plan and plat submissions to the commission.
