Plan Commission 3-23-2026

The City of Green Bay Plan Commission held a meeting on March 23, 2026, focusing primarily on year-end financial reports from various Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) including Downtown, Old Main Street, Broadway, and Military Avenue. These reports detailed budget allocations, revenue sources such as BID funds, sponsorships, and grants, and expenditures related to events, beautification, marketing, and capital campaigns. Notably, the Military Avenue BID discussed a $5 million capital campaign for a new facility, with $3.7 million still needed. The commission also considered a Planned Unit Development (PUD) request from Brown County for library expansion and associated surface parking, including discussions on parking needs, redevelopment potential, and accessibility. The commission approved the PUD with a condition to pursue a development agreement between the city and county to facilitate future redevelopment and air rights negotiations. Additionally, the commission reviewed and approved amendments to the comprehensive plan and zoning changes for residential development, emphasizing housing variety and environmental considerations. The meeting included public hearings and detailed discussions on parking, development incentives, and infrastructure improvements, with motions passed to accept financial reports and advance planning proposals to the city council.
