Commission approves recommendation to restore upper‑lower duplex at 643–645 S. Jefferson with permits and landmark approvals
Summary
The planning commission recommended approval of a conditional use permit to allow a two‑family upper‑lower duplex at 643–645 South Jefferson Street in the R‑1 district, subject to building permits, a certificate of appropriateness for the historic district and completion of required work by June 16, 2026.
The Green Bay Planning Commission on Sept. 8 recommended that city council approve a conditional use permit to allow a two‑family upper‑lower duplex at 643–645 South Jefferson Street in an R‑1 low‑density residential district in the Aster Historic District.
Staff said the property historically was used as a two‑family dwelling, was converted to single‑family use in 2012 and has seen unauthorized unit changes that were addressed through court action in 2024. The applicant submitted a site plan showing proposed improvements including a two‑stall garage and paved driveway; staff concluded the site can meet setback and parking requirements but noted that building plans for plumbing, electrical, fire protection, ingress/egress and other code items must be approved before conversion.
Staff recommended approval subject to conditions: obtain and maintain all required building permits for conversion to a two‑family dwelling; complete necessary building permit actions and approvals by June 16, 2026 (or the CUP may be revoked); and obtain required certificates of appropriateness from the Landmarks Commission for exterior changes in the Aster Historic District. Commissioners moved and seconded the recommendation; the motion carried and the item will go to city council on Sept. 16 for final action.
