Site, Landscaping, and Architectural Design Review for First Spiritualist Church of West Allis, a proposed Religious Institution Use, at 8603 W. Greenfield Ave. (Tax Key No. 451-0021-000)

The West Allis Plan Commission is reviewing a Conditional Use Permit and Site, Landscaping, and Architectural Design Review for the First Spiritualist Church of West Allis to establish a religious institution at 8603 W. Greenfield Ave. The property is zoned C-2, and the proposed use is classified as Conditional. The church will occupy a 530 sq. ft. retail space on the first floor of an existing 7,700 sq. ft. mixed-use building. The proposed use includes office work, meetings, and classes Monday-Friday from 9 am to 6 pm, with services on Wednesday evenings and occasional weekend events. The congregation is small, with under 5 staff and approximately 10 congregants. Proposed interior changes include blocking off an existing doorway with drywall, removing a drop ceiling, and installing a new furnace and LED lighting. No exterior changes are proposed. Parking will be on-street, and the existing unscreened dumpster will remain due to space limitations. The Plan Commission recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit and design review, subject to Common Council consideration on January 20, 2026, and submission of a signage and lighting plan if applicable.
