Description
Wisconsin Power and Light requested a zoning change for its property; the council approved it after discussing possible neighboring impacts.
Impact summary
The utility can now expand storage and substation facilities next door; nearby light-industrial businesses are unaffected, but one residential neighbor was notified and two alders worry about future industrial uses.

Rezone a second lot from TR-10 two-family residential to light industrial so the utility can expand yard operations and stop encroaching on the railroad right-of-way.
