Green Bay Avenue in a B-2 Community Business District, Tax Key Number 126-898-8000. FROM: John Fellows, AICP; Director of Community Development Ken Smith, MPA, M.S.; Planner Meeting: Planning and Architectural Review Commission MEETING DATE: July 11, 2023 FISCAL SUMMARY: STATUTORY REFERENCE: Budget Summary: N/A Wisconsin Statutes: N/A Budgeted Expenditure: N/A Municipal Code: § 13.1.35; Title 13, Budgeted Revenue: N/A Article E LAND DEVELOPMENT REFERENCE: Land Use: Commercial Zoning: B-2 Community Business District Target Investment Area: N/A BACKGROUND: Ms. Tatyanna Williams founded Skyi’s Playground, LLC in 2020 at 8116 W. Sheridan Avenue in the City of Milwaukee in 2020. She has a degree in early childhood education, taught for a year, and has operated her business for approximately two years. Ms. Williams now wishes to grow her business in Glendale at the site of the former George Jelich’s barbershop. Services offered to the children would include “preparing meals, helping with homework, planning and leading educational or recreational activities, and providing emotional support and guidance” for children aged six weeks to 12.5 years. The business would operate from 6am to 10pm Monday through Friday to “meet the needs of working families” and serve up to 20 children at a time within a floor area of nearly 1,500 square feet with a proposed fenced-in 2,788 square foot outdoor area containing a 750 square foot wood-chipped play area in what is currently parking lot space. The business will have up to five employees at a time. The attachment includes a detailed business plan, plan of operation, and site plan drafted by the applicant. Page 1 of 2 5909 North Milwaukee River Parkway Glendale, WI 53209 ANALYSIS: Section 13.1.35(b)(2) of the Code of Ordinances lists “Childcare, day care centers or preschool centers” as conditional uses which must be “licensed by the State of Wisconsin, and in continuous compliance with all applicable state and local regulations, and which will likely provide childcare services to contiguous or nearby city residential districts.” The Plan Commission previously approved a conditional use for the Share My World Day Care in May of 2021 at the same location. However, that business chose to locate elsewhere. Title 13, Article E, requires a public hearing for conditional uses. The July 11 meeting constitutes an initial review and a request from PARC to direct staff to schedule a public hearing at the earliest convenience. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning and Architectural Review Commission request staff to schedule a public hearing as soon as practicable. ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to direct staff to schedule a public hearing as soon as practicable for Skyi’s Playground childcare service at 6801 N. Green Bay Avenue. ATTACHMENTS: Attachment – 6801 N.

Dexter Avenue in a Single-Family Land Use Classification and a R-7 Residence Zoning District, Tax Key Number 169-0206-000. FROM: John Fellows, AICP; Director of Community Development Ken Smith, MPA, M.S.; Planner Meeting: Planning and Architectural Review Commission MEETING DATE: July 11, 2023 FISCAL SUMMARY: STATUTORY REFERENCE: Budget Summary: N/A Wisconsin Statutes: N/A Budgeted Expenditure: N/A Municipal Code: § 13.1.30 Budgeted Revenue: N/A LAND DEVELOPMENT REFERENCE: Land Use: Single Family Zoning: R-7 Residence District Target Investment Area: NA BACKGROUND: The Planning and Architectural Review is seeing this item due to the abolition of the Architectural Review Board until such time the Commission approves certain design standards for matters like this to be reviewed at the staff level. The owner of the parcel at 5658 N. Dexter Avenue, in an R-7 Residential District, is proposing to replace the existing three-season sunroom with a newer model on the existing sunroom footprint. The proposed sunroom would be composed of aluminum stucco a brown “driftwood” color. The windows would be composed of clear vinyl. The dimensions and general form of the sunroom is substantially similar to the existing. ANALYSIS: The sunroom meets the requirements of the R-7 District and would replace a weathered and depreciated structure with a modern construction. RECOMMENDATION: Page 1 of 2 5909 North Milwaukee River Parkway Glendale, WI 53209 Staff recommends the Planning and Architectural Review Commission approve the site and architectural plan. ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to approve the proposed sunroom addition at 5658 N. Dexter Avenue. ATTACHMENTS: Attachment – 5658 N. Dexter Avenue Page 2 of 2 5909 North Milwaukee River Parkway Glendale, WI 53209 SUBJECT: Discussion and consideration of site architectural review for a residential building addition for Brandon Atwood at 6126 N. Park Road in an R-7 Residential District, the single-family land use classification, Tax Key Number 163-1020-000. FROM: John Fellows, AICP; Director of Community Development Ken Smith, MPA, M.S.; Planner MEETING: Planning and Architectural Review Commission MEETING DATE: July 11, 2023 FISCAL SUMMARY: STATUTORY REFERENCE: Budget Summary: N/A Wisconsin Statutes: N/A Budgeted Expenditure: N/A Municipal Code: § 13.1.30, Ord 23-04 Budgeted Revenue: N/A LAND DEVELOPMENT REFERENCE: Land Use: Single Family Zoning: R-7 Residence District Target Investment Area: NA BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS: The applicant is requesting site plan and architectural approval for a rear addition to the existing house. The house currently has and L shaped format with a concrete patio at the inside knuckle of the “L”. The applicant is requesting to build a 159.6 square foot addition. The existing house is brick with wood trim. The proposed addition will have cedar trim and horizontal cedar siding. The addition will be painted a color to compliment the exiting color scheme of the structure. Typically, additions are to match with regard to massing, color, and building materials. However, given that this addition will not be visible from the public street and have limited visibility from surrounding properties the complementary materials seem appropriate. In addition, the room will function as a sunroom and the city has in the past approved “premanufactured” sunrooms which do not match existing structures with regard to finish materials and are often aluminum. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning and Architectural Review Commission approve the site and architectural plan.

Eula Cort, in an R-7 Residential District, Tax Key Number 233-1047-000. FROM: John Fellows, AICP; Director of Community Development Ken Smith, MPA, M.S.; Planner MEETING: Planning and Architectural Review Commission MEETING DATE: July 11, 2023 FISCAL SUMMARY: STATUTORY REFERENCE: Budget Summary: N/A Wisconsin Statutes: N/A Budgeted Expenditure: N/A Municipal Code: §§ 13.1.30,13.1.31, Budgeted Revenue: N/A Title 13: Article N LAND DEVELOPMENT REFERENCE: Land Use: Single Family Zoning: R-7 Residence District Target Investment Area: NA BACKGROUND: The owner of 902 W. Eula Court wishes to rezone the parcel from R-7 to R-7A. A single-family structure stood on the riverfront site from 1924 until 2020 when it was razed, reportedly due to a high level of disrepair. The site has sat vacant ever since and the owner has repeatedly listed the parcel for sale. Under current market conditions the owner has been unable to sell the land at a sufficient price to recover the cost of demolition and related expenses. ANALYSIS: The R-7A Residential District in Section 13.1.31 Glendale Code of General Ordinances allows more developmental flexibility and more density than the R-7 Residential District codified in Section 13.1.30. More specifically, the R-7A District allows a “single-family semi-detached dwelling or a two-family detached dwelling.” Construction of a “single-family semi-detached” structure, a side-by-side duplex with a shared wall; or a “two-family detached” structure, two separate single-family structures on one parcel; would match the existing density of the neighborhood. Several parcels in this neighborhood have two-family detached structures which are legal nonconforming due to their R-7 classification. There are currently two parcels on Eula Court zoned R-7A and a significant number of parcels on the North side of Glendale Avenue has the R-7A zoning classification. Page 1 of 4 5909 North Milwaukee River Parkway Glendale, WI 53209 Allowing for slightly greater density in the R-7A would allow for new construction which would match the existing density. Furthermore, R-7A classification may increase the salability and development potential of the parcel, thereby increasing the tax base and levy limit due to net new construction. Land Use: The land use plan classifies the property and surrounding area as single family. This land use category is intended for existing and planned groupings of single-family detached residences served by public sanitary sewer and water systems. Small public and institutional uses—such as parks, schools, churches, and stormwater facilities— also may be built on lands within this category. This category is mapped in significant portions of the City of Glendale where the desire is to promote or retain single family character. Current Zoning: The current zoning of R-7 includes the following: R-7 Zoning Text Uses permitted. (1) Single-family detached dwellings. (2) Public parks. (3) Municipally owned buildings. (4) Customary home occupations engaged in by the occupant of a dwelling not involving the conduct of a business on the premises, including also a professional office when situated in the same dwelling occupied by such person as his or her private dwelling. (5) Accessory buildings and uses customarily incident to any of the above uses, including private garages. No accessory building shall be erected unless the main building to which the accessory building is an incidental use has been erected or will be erected simultaneously with said accessory building. The proposed zoning of R-7A includes the following: R-7A Zoning Text Uses permitted. (1) Single-family detached dwellings. (2) Public parks. (3) Municipally owned buildings. (4) Customary home occupations engaged in by the occupant of a dwelling not involving the conduct of a business on the premises, including also a professional office when situated in the same dwelling occupied by such person as his or her private dwelling. (5) Accessory buildings and uses customarily incident to any of the above uses, including private garages. No accessory building shall be erected unless the main building to which the accessory building is an incidental use has been erected or will be erected simultaneously with said accessory building. (6) A single-family semi-detached dwelling or a two family detached dwelling shall be permitted to be erected on any lot of record as of the date of the adoption of this chapter from which there is available a public sanitary sewer connection in the street and conforming to or with one of the following requirements as of the effective date of this chapter Page 2 of 4 5909 North Milwaukee River Parkway Glendale, WI 53209 Relationship between land use and zoning: The land use plan provides for the classifications of single family as well as two family land use classifications. The current Zoning Code provides for an R-7 district that allows only single family on lots with a minimum width of 60 feet. In addition, the Code provides for the R-7A district to have a minimum width of 60 feet. With a lot of 80 feet the lot is not able to be subdivided. A minimum of 120 feet is required to be able to create two new lots. The R-7 district clearly states that only one single-family structure may be constructed on a lot, while the R- 7A allows for a single-family semi-detached structure, which the applicant desires to construct. Currently there are two properties on W Eula Court that have a land use classification of single family and a zoning of R-7A. In addition, there are similar properties along the north side of W Glendale Avenue. Process / Schedule: A Map Amendment will follow the standard map amendment as outlined in Section Title 13, Article N of the municipal code. Staff anticipates the following schedule: Common Council Initial review July 10, 2023 Plan Commission Review August 8, 2023 Plan Commission Public Hearing and recommendation September 5, 2023 City Council Public Review September 11, 2023 City Council Public Hearing and Action October 9, 2023 Review Comments: Planning 1.
