082626 Plan Commission Meeting

The City of West Allis Plan Commission held a meeting on August 26, 2026, focusing on several development and zoning matters. Key procurement-related discussions included conditional use permits for automotive repair and group child care centers, with motions to hold some items pending further compliance and parking agreements. A significant presentation was made by Cobalt Partners on the next phase of redevelopment in the 70th Street corridor, highlighting potential mixed-use projects and partnerships with MATC, though no formal agreements were yet in place. The commission also reviewed site, landscaping, and architectural amendments for various properties, including a major HVAC upgrade at Irving School with debate over rooftop mechanical screening due to cost and aesthetic concerns. The commission approved signage for Epicose Church and recommended landscaping and architectural improvements for industrial and care center properties. Several motions were passed related to approvals and holds, with emphasis on ensuring code compliance and future council approvals where applicable.
