Community Development Department Memorandum
Date: April 27, 2009
TO: Janesville City Council
FROM: Gale Price, AICP, Building & Development Services Manager
SUBJECT: Introduce, refer to Plan Commission and schedule a public hearing on a
proposed ordinance rezoning property located at 120 North Crosby
Avenue from O1, Office/Residence District, to B3, General Commercial
District (File Ordinance No. 2009-437).
_____________________________________________________________________
Tim Richards has requested the rezoning of property located at 120 North Crosby
Avenue from O1, Office/Residence District, to B3, General Commercial District.
The applicant is requesting the rezoning to a commercial classification to allow the
establishment of a small banquet hall in the lower level of the building. Before the first
floor was converted to an office use, the entire building was the location of the Moose
Club.
Even though fraternal organizations rent their buildings for occasional assembly
activities and banquets, a banquet hall is not a permitted use within the O1 District.
The Community Development Department recommends that following the first reading
of Ordinance No. 2009-437 it be referred to the Plan Commission for review and
recommendation and scheduled for public hearing on June 8, 2009.
