Plan commission approves 41‑unit Planned Unit Development tied to NEW Community Shelter; goes to council April 15

The Green Bay Plan Commission voted to recommend approval of a planned unit development that would replace seven single‑family homes with a four‑story, 41‑unit multifamily building on parcels at 306 and 308 Mather Street, 709 Alma Street and 301–309 James Street. The commission approved the PUD on a voice vote and will forward the item to the Common Council for final action on April 15.

Staff said the project would combine seven parcels owned by NEW Community Shelter Inc. into a single development site and build a 41‑unit apartment building with parking on the north side of the site. City planning staff described the proposed building as a multifamily use that would be operated in connection with NEW’s existing supportive housing programs, but noted the units are individual apartments that could be sold or rented independently in the future.
