VI. NEW BUSINESS

22-0718

PC 20-2022: Rivers Bend Property Holdings, LLC; Assignment of a

Conditional Use Permit; 960 N. Rapids Road.

P. Braun explained that the reason for the Conditional Use Permit request

is that there is a pending change in ownership of the 960 S. Rapids Road

location. River's Bend Property Holdings, LLC will be purchasing the real

estate from AAT RE 1 LLC; but the operating entity will remain the same

along with the number of beds, which will remain at 100.

P. Braun explained that there are two buildings on the parcel, 960 S.

Rapids Road and 950 S. Rapids Road; each being a unique entity under a

condominium plat. An existing CUP was issued for both buildings in 2005.

The current CUP request will be issued only for the 960 S. Rapid Road

building; the 950 S. Rapids Road building will be governed by the previous

2005 CUP.

Moved by Diedrich, seconded by Steinbrenner, that the Conditional Use Permit at

960 N. Rapids Road be approved. The motion carried by the following vote.

PC 21-2022: Amendment to Zoning Code Chapter 15.390(14) Setbacks

from Major Streets.

P. Braun explained that the protective covenants for the Manitowoc

Industrial Park expired and currently the area must follow the Zoning Code.

The area is under the I-1 Light Industrial Zoning District which does not

require any building setbacks. The original covenants required a 25'

building setback and to be consistent with the original intent of those

covenants Clipper Drive, Expo Drive and S. 41st Street are being added to

the "Setbacks from Major Streets" section of the Municipal Code.

P. Braun explained that Bayshore Drive will also be added to the setbacks

from major streets section because a portion of Bayshore Drive used to be

Johnston Drive which is a listed street.

Moved by Diedrich, seconded by Brey, that the Amendment to Zoning Code

Chapter 15.390(14) be approved and referred to council. The motion carried by

the following vote:
