Duplex residential development latest attempt to address Sturgeon Bay housing stock
Two weeks after the Sturgeon Bay Common Council approved two development agreements related to housing, it is poised to do it again on Tuesday. At its last meeting, the council approved development agreements for a 79-lot residential subdivision on Sturgeon Bay’s west side and a 76-unit apartment complex. At this meeting, the council will consider a development agreement with JPLS, LLC to build five duplexes on the west side of N. 15th Avenue. The developer would receive $15,000 per unit for a total of $150,000 as the units are constructed. The project is expected to be covered through tax increments, with the expectation that the new duplexes will generate $3.5 million in property value. In addition to the development agreement, the Sturgeon Bay Common Council will discuss new zoning code amendments for businesses that offer animal services when they meet on Tuesday at 6 p.m. inside Sturgeon Bay City Hall.
