#11 Introduce ordinance to rezone property near airport and Glen Erin Golf Course (File Ord. #2009-434)
Community Development Department Memorandum
Date: April 13, 2009
TO: Janesville City Council
FROM: Duane Cherek, Manager of Planning Services
SUBJECT: Introduce, refer to Plan Commission and schedule a public hearing on a
proposed ordinance rezoning a small portion of Southern Wisconsin
Regional Airport Property from Agriculture to M1, Light Industrial; and the
area encompassing the Glen Erin Golf Course located west of USH 51
from M1, Light Industrial, and Agriculture to Conservancy (File Ordinance
No. 2009-434).
_____________________________________________________________________
Scott Heinig, on behalf of Rock County, has requested the rezoning of a portion of
property located at the Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport. Rock County owns the
Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport, which was annexed to the City in June 2007.
Approximately 171 acres of airport property located south of existing runways and other
operational facilities is developed with the Glen Erin golf course. The golf course is
currently zoned M1, Light Industrial and A, Agriculture. Rock County is requesting to
rezone the golf course to Conservancy to distinguish this land area from the adjoining
aviation facilities proposed for inclusion in Tax Increment Finance (TIF) District 34. The
TIF is being created to retain existing and stimulate future development of businesses at
the Airport. A small portion of airport property west of the golf course, zoned
Agriculture, is included in the TIF 34 boundary. This area is proposed for M1 zoning
consistent with the balance of land at the Airport to be included in TIF 34.
The Community Development Department recommends that following the first reading
of Ordinance No. 2009-434 it be referred to the Plan Commission for review and
recommendation and scheduled for public hearing on May 26, 2009.
