1120 S. Barclay Street DIZ deviation (assembly hall)
Milwaukee
Description
The owner of the former Foamation cheesehead factory asked to extend the allowance for her event space beyond the two-year deviation expiring September 30, 2026. The commission approved it conditionally for one year, requiring her to apply for a longer-term deviation with an updated exhibit.
Impact summary
The event space — about 150 guests per event, 20-40 events a year — can keep operating while seven of eight non-event spaces are filled, mostly with offices, plus below-market artist studios.
