Accordingly, the intended user is Olivia Inc. (doing business as Casa de Corazón) (“User”). Process: The process for the Planned Development District includes three steps. Step one: Map amendment and general development plan approval. Step two: Approval of a specific development plan. Step three: Approval of a development agreement with recording. Steps are summarized as: 1. Rezoning and General Development Plan Steps: • Consideration by City Council - Possible referral to Planning Commission • Consideration by Plan Commission – Possible recommendation to move forward to schedule a public hearing. • Plan Commission Public Hearing • Plan Commission Recommendation to Council • Consideration by Council of the Plan Commission recommendation and consideration to move forward and schedule public hearing  • City Council Public Hearing • City Council Action 2.

It will be a Spanish immersion center (the “Center”) operating under the Casa de Corazón franchise. The Center will have 14 classrooms ranging in age from 6 weeks until children begin traditional five-year-old kindergarten. It will employ three center directors, two administrative assistants, a facilities manager, a kitchen manager, three cooks, 28 teachers, seven substitute staff, and other officers and employees of the User for a total of 50 full-time positions created. These positions will predominantly be filled by native Spanish-speaking women, many of whom, historically, are single mothers. The Casa de Corazón prides itself on being socially responsible and environmentally friendly, this site is to be solar-powered, and manage its runoff water through a project with the MMSD in the parking lot. The User will also create more green space onsite as the User intends to construct a large grass and mulch playground with multiple age- appropriate structures. Casa de Corazón will also create a garden on-site to incorporate food production into the Center’s curriculum. Additionally, the User will convert the old guardhouse onsite into a chicken coop where the User will raise pasture-raised organic chickens for egg production to feed the children on site as part of our commitment to local and ethical practices. Lastly, the User intends to build a small vehicle garage in the northeast corner to house the Center’s buses and vans when the vehicles are not in use. Finally, Casa de Corazón plans to house its corporate office in a small section of the existing building on the property. Potential Operational Options: As noted above the current owners AH&S reality are planning to sell the property to Olivia Inc.,/Casa de Corazón.

Title 13, Article K relates to fences, walls, hedges, and windscreens. These structures reflect the community aesthetic and have the potential to affect the ambience and desirability of the community positively or negatively, and therefore the property values of the City of Glendale. City staff have worked to reorganize the Ordinance to make it more user friendly and readable for most citizens, developers, and other interested parties. The proposed text amendments cover several items which include: • Removal of the requirement for “waivers” to be submitted from neighbors. • Clarification regarding height restrictions in certain subdivisions and incorporating such requirements into the Ordinance, thus eliminating the need for reference to documents that are difficult to obtain. • Specifying that hedges and windbreaks do not require a permit. • Clarifying requirements for commercial and industrial vs. single-family residential districts. • Providing a maintenance requirement within Title 8 of the Municipal Code. On April 11, 2023 the Plan Commission moved to schedule an optional public hearing prior to issuing a recommendation to the Common Council. The Commission further asked staff to revise the Draft Ordinance to strike the first preambular clause and add a proof of notice requirement Page 1 of 2  City of Glendale 5909 North Milwaukee River Parkway Glendale, WI 53209 akin to the current Ordinance permitting the keeping of chickens. Staff have revised the draft accordingly. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Plan Commission recommend approval of the Text Amendment to the Common Council. ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to recommend approval of the text amendment to the Common Council as drafted.

FROM: John Fellows, AICP; Director of Community Development Ken Smith, MPA, M.S.; Planner Meeting: Planning and Architectural Review Commission MEETING DATE: June 6, 2023 FISCAL SUMMARY: STATUTORY REFERENCE: Budget Summary: N/A Budgeted N/A Wisconsin N/A Expenditure: Statutes: Budgeted Revenue: N/A Municipal Code: § 13.1.34(c)(4) BACKGROUND: Ms. Barbara Green, proprietor of Precision Brows, LLC, wishes to open a parlor for microblading at 2025 N. Ironwood Rd. Ste. 202, in a B-1 C1 Business and Commercial District. Microblading is a type of tattoo service whose purpose is to mimic natural eyebrows. This service helps clients ranging from those who wish to enhance natural eyebrows to mimic eyebrows with tattoo art for those who are missing all or a portion of their eyebrows. The applicant is moving into a space of approximately 326 square feet. The business would operate seven days a week from 9am to 7pm by appointment. During the week the applicant expects to see most clients from 3:30 to 7pm. She would see one client at a time and solely operate the business. ANALYSIS: Precision Brows, LLC qualifies as a permitted use in a B-1 C1 District as a “Professional service,” and “Any other uses found to be a similar use by the Plan Commission or Community Development Authority upon review of application.” RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Plan Commission grant a business use approval for Precision Brows, LLC at 5225 N.

Stat. §§ Expenditure: Statutes: 62.23(5), Budgeted Revenue: N/A 66.1005(1) Municipal Code: N/A BACKGROUND: In February 2013 the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) issued its “Purpose and Need Statement” for the Interstate 43 (I-43) Freeway Corridor from Silver Spring Drive to Wisconsin Highway 60 in Milwaukee and Ozaukee Counties. In the document WisDOT argued for the project’s necessity to improve “freeway design and geometric deficiencies,” “Safety,” “Existing and future traffic volumes,” “Regional land use and transportation planning,” and “System linkage and route importance.” Construction work began on the project overall in 2022 and within the City of Glendale in late-2022. The south-end segment of the project is scheduled for completion in 2025. As part of the project, WisDOT intends to build the modified I-43 within the current Union Pacific Railroad’s train track embankment within the rail right-of-way (ROW). WisDOT intends to rebuild Union Pacific’s embankment within the City of Glendale’s W. Fairfield Court ROW. Union Pacific prefers “a permanent real estate right over property that supports our track infrastructure” so the corporation may have the “rights to use, alter, maintain, etc. the track infrastructure in the future.” Wis. Stat. § 62.23(5) requires any prospective abandonment of a public ROW to be reviewed by that municipality’s Plan Commission to determine if the abandonment is in the public interest. Upon the Planning and Architectural Review Commission’s recommendation of approval or disapproval, the draft resolution vacating the ROW would be considered by the Glendale Common Council. Page 1 of 2  5909 North Milwaukee River Parkway Glendale, WI 53209 Further, Wis. Stat. § 66.1005(1), relating to the reversion of land titles, states, “When any highway or public ground acquired or held for highway purposes is discontinued. . .[it] shall belong to the owner or owners of the adjoining lands. . .” Timeline • June 6 – Plan Commission Recommendation • July 10 – Common Council Public Hearing and Determination ANALYSIS: If approved, the City of Glendale would vacate approximately 0.237 acres (10,323 sq. ft.) of unimproved (non-paved) right-of-way, leaving three feet of land in the ROW between the proposed new Union Pacific ROW and the existing curbline on W. Fairfield Court. The ROW abandonment would give Union Pacific control over the land supporting its tracks, ultimately spurred by WisDOT’s highway widening. The Planning and Architectural Review Commission and Glendale Common Council must determine if the right-of-way vacation allowing for Union Pacific to fully control a new embankment created due to the loss of land from I-43 widening is in the public interest. ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to recommend approval or rejection of the resolution abandoning the segment of the West Fairfield Court public right-of-way adjacent to the Union Pacific rail right-of-way and N. Jean Nicolet Road. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Attachments – W.

Sidney Pl. – Garage Doors Page 2 of 2  5909 North Milwaukee River Parkway Glendale, WI 53209 SUBJECT: Discussion, consideration, and determination of a major or minor modification to a Planned Development district for Chick-fil-A at 5201 N. Port Washington Road, in the Planned Development District (PD) zoning district, the Planned Commercial Service District, the Port Washington Design District, Tax Key Number 196-9000-002. FROM: John Fellows, AICP; Director of Community Development Ken Smith, MPA, M.S.; Planner Meeting: Planning and Architectural Review Commission MEETING DATE: June 6, 2023 FISCAL SUMMARY: STATUTORY REFERENCE: Budget Summary: N/A Budgeted N/A Wisconsin N/A Expenditure: Statutes: Budgeted Revenue: N/A Municipal Code: § Title 13 Article D. BACKGROUND: Chick-fil-A opened in 2022 at the current location after receiving approvals in 2021. During the first six months of business, the company analyzed several items relating to this new building format. As a result of these studies, the company desires to make several site plan changes and building modifications allowing it to function better for the building’s users. ZONING/APPROVAL PROCESS: The property is located within the PD zoning district. The PD allows for minor amendments and major amendments. The code allows the Planning and Architectural Review Commission to determine if a change to an original Specific Development approval within a Planned Development District is a minor or major change. Typically, a change of use, change of traffic, a significant architectural change or change to the pedestrian environment, or a change that would affect an adjacent property would be consider a major change, while modifications of architectural items such as doors or windows, or a change to landscaping to allow for a more durable plant species would be considered minor. Minor Approvals only require the approval of the Planning and Architectural Review Commission. Major Amendments required going through the general development plan, public hearings, specific development plan meetings, and amendment to the development agreement. The major amendment process would follow the following steps: • Determination of Plan Commission as to Major or Minor Page 1 of 3  5909 North Milwaukee River Parkway Glendale, WI 53209 General Development Plan- Revisions • Initial appearance before City Council • Planning Commission Public Hearing • Planning Commission recommendation • City Council recommendation for a public hearing • City Council Public Hearing • City Councill Action Specific Development Plan Approval • Planning Commission review and Action • City Council Review and Action Development Agreement • Review and action regarding a development agreement by City Council • Recording of Development Agreement • Once the development agreement is approved permits may be issued. GUIDELINES: • To create a “street and pedestrian friendly" environment, buildings should front on Pt Washington Road with primary architectural elements and entry on that façade. • Guidelines encourage the use of modular clay brick, Lannon Stone/ limestone, Architectural per cast concrete as accents, and stuck or EIFS. REQUESTED CHANGES: The applicant is requesting the following modifications: Building: • Modification of an existing entry door (east elevation) to a pickup window for online orders. • Modification of east and south elevations to add a full-scale canopy to the paved area to provide sun, wind, and weather coverage for those waiting to pick up online orders. • Modification of the east canopy area to add a windscreen parallel to Port Washington Road. The proposed windscreen would be constructed of a tubular window system with a mesh screen. Landscaping: • Modification of landscaping between the property line and the drive-through area to accommodate the proposed permanent windscreen. REVIEW: Staff have reviewed the application and have concerns regarding the visual character of the windscreen along Port Washington Road. In early conversations with Staff, the applicant provided examples and images of other windscreens which provide greater architectural quality and a more street and pedestrian-friendly environment (see example in attachments). Page 2 of 3  5909 North Milwaukee River Parkway Glendale, WI 53209 The current proposed windscreen will have a utilitarian appearance that will have limited relationship to the pedestrian experience. This windscreen device will be located within feet of the property line and within a couple feet of the public sidewalk. Staff recommend the windscreen be considered a major modification to the Planned Development District as the windscreen will have an impact to the pedestrian environment which typically is enhanced by larger landscaping areas at older buildings and pedestrian-scaled architectural details on newer buildings. If the windscreen were designed to appear more like a building façade with architectural elements and materials, Staff would recommend the proposed modifications be a minor amendment as such a modification would enhance and further the goals of creating a street and pedestrian-friendly environment. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Plan Commission determine the application as submitted be a major amendment as the request modifies the original request and will change the overall architectural character of the corridor and pedestrian experience. ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to determine that the application as submitted is a major amendment as the request modifies the original request and will change the overall architectural charter of the corridor and pedestrian experience. Motion to direct staff to place the item on a City Council agenda for initial review of a modification to the general development plan, and direct staff to schedule a public hearing at the Planning and Architectural Review Commission to review proposed changes to the general development plan at the earliest convenience.
