Officials with the City of Janesville look to create a South Jackson Street Overlay District.

Manager of Planning Services Duane Cherek says the district, which encompass the former General Motors plant runs from Delavan Drive to Kellogg Avenue between South Jackson and Cherry Streets.

Create of an overlay district would require the preparation and submittal of preliminary and final development plans to the Plan Commission for reviews that include a public hearing process.

Currently a proposed use would need little more than an administrative site plan approval.

The Plan Commission will hold a public hearing before considering approval of the ordinance at their regular meeting Monday evening.
