When they meet on Tuesday, the Sturgeon Bay Common Council will be dealing with some cleaning up of its municipal code and ensuring the zoning matches up with the future land use stipulated in the city’s comprehensive plan.  Community Development Director Marty Olejniczak says a public hearing and a potential first reading for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) can be done in districts other than Residential-1 (R-1), single-family zoned areas.  He says the zoning code will be updated if approved, allowing it for permitted use instead of conditional use.

The Plan Commission recommended the text amendments for the ADUs and the Accessory Uses. They will help align the municipal codes with the 10-year Comprehensive Plan that the city established in 2020. The Sturgeon Bay Common Council will meet at 6 p.m. on Tuesday at City Hall.
