Plan Commission 8-31-2026

The City of Green Bay Plan Commission held a meeting on August 31, 2026, focusing primarily on land use and zoning matters. Key procurement-related discussions included conditional use permits (CUPs) for residential properties on Irvington Street to bring non-conforming single and two-family homes into compliance, and rezoning requests for properties on Shauno Avenue from low-density residential to public institutional to accommodate uses such as a food pantry. The commission approved CUPs and rezoning recommendations, which will proceed to the City Council for final approval. Additionally, the commission reviewed a request to amend the official city map to remove a future road segment to allow home construction, ultimately recommending denial to preserve long-term neighborhood connectivity and development potential. The meeting also covered proposed amendments to the Green Bay Municipal Code to consolidate land use tables for improved clarity and usability, including adding definitions for shelter facilities as conditional uses in mixed-use districts. A presentation on draft downtown streetscape design standards funded by a $300,000 grant was provided, highlighting efforts to standardize urban design elements across business improvement districts. Lastly, staff introduced a new framework for interpreting the 2050 Go Big Green Bay comprehensive plan, aiming to replace parcel-by-parcel future land use maps with a more flexible matrix approach to streamline zoning and development reviews. Several motions related to zoning approvals were passed, and most items will advance to the City Council for further action.
