Special Common Council Meeting - June 24, 2026

The City of Stevens Point held a Special Common Council Meeting on June 24, 2026, primarily to discuss and vote on a resolution for a conditional use permit for Seven Brews (Seven B Stevens Point 385 LLC) to construct a building with an increased setback. The council debated the merits of the increased setback in relation to the city's targeted area master plan for Division Street, pedestrian walkability, and traffic safety concerns. Some council members expressed support for the conditional use permit citing state statutes and the need for flexibility, while others emphasized adherence to the master plan and raised concerns about traffic congestion and compatibility with mixed-use zoning. The motion to approve the conditional use permit with staff recommendations passed with a 7 to 3 vote. No additional procurement or contracting actions were discussed during the meeting.
