PCR2017066 Basse RezoningRESOLUTION #P.C. 066-2017
RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL TO AMEND THE PD-42 BASSE PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT LOCATED IN THE NE ¼ OF SECTION 10
(TAX KEY NOS. 2198.160 & 2198.161 / JANESVILLE ROAD)
WHEREAS, A petition for a zoning amendment was submitted by AG Architecture on behalf of the
Basse Family Trust to amend the existing PD-42 Basse Planned Development District (Tax Key
Nos. 2198.160 & 2198.161 / Janesville Road), and
WHEREAS, The existing planned development zoning district, known as PD-42, has been in
place since 2003 (Ord. #1144) and at that time the zoning allowed a multi-family development
(under the guidelines of the RM-1 & RM-2 districts) with 96 total units within various building size,
and
WHEREAS, A further amendment to that original request was approved under Ord. #1251 in 2007
which changed the total request unit count to 84 units which occurred in 2-unit buildings, two 4-
unit buildings and three 24-unit buildings, and
WHEREAS, That latest approval included a 1.5 acre commercial lot at the corner of Janesville
Road and Glen Cove Court under the guidance of the B-2 zoning district, and
WHEREAS, That latest approval also allowed the height of the buildings to be up to 36 feet, as
measured by code, and
WHEREAS, The current request is now for 90 units broken down into a 50-unit building (phase 1)
and a 40-unit building (phase 2), with a possible future clubhouse (phase 3), and
WHEREAS, The current request also includes buildings with an average height of 36 feet, with
some features being as high as 38 feet, along with a request for a reduced setback for the phase
1 building from 40 feet down to 30 feet, and
WHEREAS, Based on the underlying zoning allowances within this Planned Development District,
a total allowed unit count is 90.9 units, without any bonuses being granted by the Council, and
WHEREAS, A Public Hearing for the zoning amendment was heard before the Common Council
on November 28, 2017, and
WHEREAS, The 2020 Comprehensive Plan already identifies this area for high density residential
land uses (>3 units/acre) and the proposal shows a density of about 6.23 units/acre which doesn’t
require a 2020 Comprehensive Plan amendment, and
WHEREAS, A Planned Development Zoning District allows for greater freedom, imagination, and
flexibility in the development of land while insuring substantial compliance to the intent of the
normal district regulations of the City’s ordinances, and
WHEREAS, The property is currently served by municipal sanitary sewer and municipal water.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission does hereby recommend approval
to the Common Council for a zoning amendment to the existing PD-42 Basse Planned
Development District (Tax Key Nos. 2198.160 & 2198.161 / Janesville Road).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That this resolution recommends to the Council to include in the
ordinance that the rezoning only takes effect upon approval and execution of Plan Commission
approved BSO Plans for all elements of the proposed development and Common Council
approved developer’s agreements outlining any developer improvements.
