City of Brookfield Council Chambers 2000 N. Calhoun Road - Brookfield, WI In order to accommodate private, lot-based solutions for businesses to replace the lost street parking when it is no longer permitted, City staff proposes applying Modified Suburban Overlay (MSO). An MSO applied to the existing zoning district that incorporates less-restrictive regulations used in the Barker Road Industrial Park could afford property owners the site area necessary to make these improvements. The intended zoning overlay would reduce parking setbacks in the district from fifty (50) feet to twenty-five (25) feet on all streets except for Barker Road to permit additional employee surface parking in the balance created. City staff also proposes the MSO permit zero (0) feet offsets for pavement in instances where shared driveways and parking areas are utilized. The intent of this provision is improved functionality between properties and more efficient use of paved areas in the district. City staff has identified areas where the zero (0) feet offset would be beneficial. The proposed zero (0) feet offset would not apply to buildings or structures in the district. Only parking under all futures, the City’s stormwater and floodplain rules must be followed, which in some cases may limit parking expansion. The meeting is an open house. No presentation will be made. Representatives from City staff will be present to answer questions about the Modified Suburban Overlay (MSO), and answer questions regarding the amendment processes. My office will represent the City of Brookfield and collect written comments for the Common Council and Plan Commission. A public hearing regarding this matter is scheduled for Wednesday, April 4, 2018. A separate public hearing notice will be mailed.
