Council approves MOU with Scout Development GB LLC to guide rezoning of 500 Day Street
Summary
The Green Bay Common Council approved a memorandum of understanding with Scout Development GB LLC on July 15 to establish a framework for rezoning and redevelopment at 500 Day Street, with staff to accept a future PUD application expected in November.
The Green Bay Common Council voted July 15 to approve a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the city and Scout Development GB LLC that sets out a framework for collaborative review and a planned-unit development (PUD) application for 500 Day Street.
City planning staff told the council they had worked with the developer since the item was held at an earlier meeting to clarify how the proposed redevelopment would align with the comprehensive plan and rezoning procedures. Director Renier Wig told council members staff recommended executing the MOU and anticipated a formal PUD application in November.
Chester McDonald, who identified himself at the meeting as an available representative, thanked the council and staff and said meetings with the property owner (Georgia Pacific) and the developer had been constructive. Alders opened the floor to public comment and took questions; no objections were raised in the public testimony recorded at the meeting.
Council action included a motion to open the floor, followed by a motion to approve the MOU as presented with an instruction that final execution be subject to routine legal review. The council also voted to hold associated ordinance items tied to the MOU until Nov. 11 so the zoning package and related ordinance amendments could be considered together.
The MOU does not change zoning or approve development; it documents a process and schedule for the developer to submit a PUD application and for city staff to continue negotiating technical details. Council members said they supported moving the discussions toward a formal application and emphasized that any final rezoning would require a future public hearing and formal votes.
