SANTA MONICA BLVD. FOX POINT WI 53217-3505 414-351-8900 FAX 414-351-8909 To: Plan Commission From: Kevin Ausman, Assistant Village Manager CC: Scott Botcher, Village Manager; Scott Brandmeier, DPW Director Date: June 2, 2025 Re: Marek Landscaping - CUP Overview Marek Landscaping has applied for conditional use approval to establish a landscape architecture professional office and storage space located at 8035 N Port Washington Road (former Logan Productions building). The application under Section 745-18 would allow for professional landscape architecture and associated activities in the D Business District. Background The Logan Productions building has been vacant and for sale for some time. The D Business District, Section 745-18, allows for both permitted and conditional uses within the boundaries of the district. Request The applicant is proposing professional office space, classroom and laboratory space, and the storage of landscaping materials and equipment. As part of the request, Marek is proposing additional landscaping and screening elements. Village DPW Director has determined that the lighting plan meets code. Under Section 745-18(C)(4), “professional office” of licensed professionals is considered a permitted use by right within the D Business District and the indoor storage of field materials/equipment may be accessory to that permitted use. However, conditional use approval is required for the following uses: • Classroom space qualifies as a conditional use under Section 745-18(D)(1)(j). • Laboratory use is not explicitly listed, but may be considered “substantially similar” under §745-18(D)(1)(o), provided that it is used in direct support of the firm's permitted landscape architecture work (ex: soil, plant, water analysis). • Outdoor Storage of bulk materials, equipment, and vehicles is generally discouraged but may be allowed under Sections 745-18(F)(6) and 745-18(F)(1)(c) provided that the Plan Commission and Village Board determine that the outdoor storage is essential to business use and is properly screened. Plan Commission Review Staff recommends that the Plan Commission discuss the outdoor storage component with the applicant. Details of materials, storage location, manner of storage, and security were requested of the applicant but not received. Considerations for Plan Commission to ask of the applicant: • What materials will be stored and where? Site plan submittals state “Bulk Bins” in the location of three parking spaces without description. o Applicant proposes shou sugi ban fencing, screening vegetation, and architectural planters to address aesthetic and visibility concerns. • How will materials be stored? Size of storage area? Dedicated bays or piles of open cold storage? • How will outdoor materials be secured after-hours? • Is the proposed screening of fencing and plantings sufficient under Sections 745-18(F)(6) and 745-18(F)(1)(c)? o Unenclosed storage of merchandise, cartons, equipment, refuse or any other item which might detract from cleanliness, neatness and general attractiveness of the surrounding area o No articles, goods, material, finished or unfinished product, incinerators, storage tanks, refuse containers, or like equipment should be kept outdoors, exposed to public view, or exposed to view from adjacent buildings and property. Garbage and refuse containers should be screened from the street and from neighboring facilities. The Village Board may permit the outdoor display of product or merchandise upon finding that such display is essential to a business use. Staff also recommends that the Plan Commission discuss proposed operations with the applicant: • Residential compatibility: There are residential properties to the west behind the property. o Confirm hours of operation for the CUP so that noise from deliveries and work vehicles do not disrupt nearby properties. o Confirm that deliveries can be received on the site with appropriate vehicle turning radii. Port Washington Road is a County Highway and the Village does not have authority to allow trucks to stop on the street. o Lab Use: Confirm the activities of the proposed lab and the security measures for chemicals. The Village DPW Director has reviewed the application and determined that 30 parking spaces are required per Section 745-18(F)(7). The applicant is proposing 16 spaces. Staff recommends that the Plan Commission discuss justifications for reduction in parking with the applicant (number of employees, visitors, work vehicles, etc). Staff recommends a parking reduction, should the Plan Commission agree with applicant justification. Recommendation Should the Plan Commission feel comfortable with the proposed use, Staff recommends that the Plan Commission recommend that the Village Board approve the conditional use request (following a mandatory public hearing) subject to the following conditions: 1. All outdoor storage areas shall be screened per the submitted site plan and maintained to prevent visibility from both adjacent properties and rights-of-way. 2. Hours of operation limited to 7 AM – 5 PM, Monday through Thursday. 3. All laboratory operations shall be accessory to the professional office use and involve no hazardous chemical processing. 4. Outdoor material storage limited to the area described on the site plan and may be reviewed for compliance by the Building Inspector. 5. A parking reduction from 30 stalls shall be allowed. Any overflow or future demand must be met on the site.
