Action: The commission approved the surplus declarations with the recommended conditions and forwarded both items to City Council on March 18 for final action.

What happens next: The RDA will market the parcels for redevelopment.

Staff said the project — presented as a four‑story, multifamily building with underground parking — would reach about 54 feet at its highest point, nine feet above the 45‑foot maximum in the Downtown 1 district. City staff told the commission the application meets the seven conditional‑use criteria in the municipal code and recommended approval subject to compliance with Green Bay Municipal Code requirements.

Why it matters: the parcel sits adjacent to the Fox River Trail and a public water‑utility property, an area where the city has sought higher‑density development. Neighbors said the bulk and engineering impacts merit close review at the permitting stage.

During the public hearing, nearby property owner Tom Delsart said the nine‑foot increase “does not seem like like a lot to me,” but added he wished the developer had spoken with nearby residents before mailing the city notice. Another resident, Thomas Michael Saharski, voiced concerns about the site’s low‑lying topography and past fires related to embers from nearby coal‑stack facilities, asking, “How's the city plan to adjust for such a large complex?”

Commissioners asked staff whether floodplain mapping and site grading would be reviewed with a building permit; staff replied that FEMA maps and erosion‑control, grading and site analyses occur at the building‑permit stage and that today’s decision is limited to height. One commissioner noted the project is substantially the same as a plan first reviewed in 2019 and that the earlier proposal shows no major design changes.

Action: Vice Chair Miller moved to approve the conditional use permit as recommended; Commissioner Ravinsky seconded. The commission voted in favor (voice vote), and the item was forwarded to the City Council with recommendation for approval on March 18.

Next steps: If the council adopts the commission’s recommendation the applicant will proceed to building‑permit review, where site‑level engineering (flood mitigation, grading, erosion control and stormwater) and final foundation/structural plans will be evaluated.

What was proposed: Staff and the developer described an integrated low‑density residential subdivision with a mix of single‑family homes, limited two‑family buildings, two multifamily clusters (totaling about 160 units) and a small commercial parcel. Staff’s summary of the proposal identified approximately 396 total dwelling units: 218 single‑family homes, nine two‑family buildings (18 units) and 160 multifamily units; about 29.5 acres (≈17.5%) would be preserved as permanent open space and stormwater features. Staff noted the proposed development is lower density than the maximum range in the 2022 comprehensive plan once environmental constraints are taken into account.

Why residents objected: More than 20 residents spoke at the hearing. Concerns focused on traffic and safety near Red Smith School and Sussex Road (drop‑off/pick‑up congestion), stormwater and flooding on downstream properties, potential loss of open space and the proximity of multifamily rental housing to established single‑family neighborhoods. Multiple residents asked whether the school district had been consulted about capacity; several urged limiting or eliminating the multifamily component.

Environmental and engineering points: Staff said the site contains significant wetlands and two navigable waterways that were not fully reflected in the 2022 comprehensive‑plan assumptions; that constraint, together with steep slopes up the Niagara Escarpment, reduced buildable acreage and lowered achievable density relative to some comp‑plan estimates. The developer said it had completed a topographic and wetland survey in the previous year and has sized on‑site stormwater ponds to handle the project’s runoff; developers also told the commission they had discussed partnering with the city to route additional upstream flow into the development’s stormwater system to slow discharge downstream.

Infrastructure matters: Several residents cited low potable‑water pressure in parts of the neighborhood. Developer representatives said they plan to install a dedicated water main and a pressure‑regulating valve to serve the new development; the developer mentioned the valve’s purchase cost as a material item required to raise pressure for the project. The developer said the project will be constructed in phases from south to north to build mains and services sequentially.

School capacity and timing: The developer said the school district’s enrollment trends indicated capacity would not be exceeded and that the project will be built over many years; residents disputed short‑term operational impacts at Red Smith School, especially during morning drop‑off and afternoon pickup.

Action and vote: Vice Chair Miller moved approval of the PUD as drafted; Commissioner Ryvinsky seconded. The Plan Commission voted in favor (voice vote) and forwarded the request to City Council for March 18.

Next steps and conditions: The PUD approval sets zoning and preliminary plan exceptions (lot frontage reductions, adjusted setbacks and higher impervious coverage thresholds for smaller lots). Detailed engineering, final platting and stormwater plans will be reviewed in subsequent subdivision and permit phases; any improvements to county roads would require county review and action.

City staff explained the property is zoned general commercial and that all secondhand‑goods or consignment stores in that zoning classification require a conditional use permit. The building — a roughly 20,000‑square‑foot former Planet Fitness vacant since 2021 — is currently configured in ways staff said are well suited for Saint Vincent de Paul’s operations; staff reported ongoing coordination about locating a loading dock, likely on the building’s north side.

Alderman Bill Morgan (District 3) spoke in favor of the reuse, saying the vacant building has been the target of trespass, break‑ins and littering and that re‑occupancy by a nonprofit consignment operator would be an asset to the neighborhood. No members of the public spoke in opposition during the hearing.

Action: Commissioner Darius Daniels moved to approve the conditional use permit; Vice Chair Miller seconded. The commission voted in favor and forwarded the request to City Council for the March 18 agenda.

Next steps: If council approves, the applicant will complete site‑specific work (loading‑dock design, building alterations and any required inspections) as part of the permit process.","The commission recommended approval of a conditional use permit to allow a secondhand/consignment store in an existing 20,000‑square‑foot former Planet Fitness building at 1831 Main Street.
