City Plan Commission Meeting - June 1, 2026

The City Plan Commission of Stevens Point held a meeting on June 1, 2026, primarily discussing development and zoning matters along Division Street. Key procurement-related topics included approval of a conditional use permit and site plan for a new drive-through coffee establishment by 7 Brew, which required an increased building setback to accommodate traffic flow and drive-thru lanes. The commission debated the implications of modifying the existing 5-foot setback requirement in the Bt 5 overlay district, acknowledging this could set a precedent for future developments. Additionally, the commission approved an easement agreement with Wisconsin Public Service Corporation and recommended adoption of the Portage County Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. Updates on ongoing capital projects, including city hall tank removal and pending RFPs for the Lost Creek development phase, were also provided. Motions to approve the conditional use permit and site plan were passed with some opposition, and the easement agreement was unanimously approved.
