On the heels of Election Day, the Sturgeon Bay Common Council will tackle several items related to housing as part of its regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday.
After running through a consent agenda that includes an increase to tourist rooming house fees and improvements for the West Side Ballfield and Sunset Park pavilion, the council will discuss extending tax incremental district (TID) financing for TIDs 2 and 3.
According to the meeting agenda packet, both TIDs have fully recovered all of their project costs but have outstanding debt that can be called later this year, and they are eligible for extension for affordable housing for up to one year. If approved, the amount of tax increment revenue generated is estimated at more than $1.5 million for TID 2 and nearly $102,000 for TID 3.
The council will also weigh in on a development agreement for Heron Crossing. The preliminary plat approved in February covered a 27.5-acre site near North 8th Avenue and North 11th Place. The development is expected to include a mix of workforce housing, market-rate homes and duplexes.
Sturgeon Bay Mayor David Ward said at the time that the lots will be smaller than some in the area but believes Heron Crossing will help address the area’s housing shortage.
A planned unit development (PUD) ordinance for a housing project being developed by Spoerl Commercial LLC near Georgia Street and North 14th Avenue will also be on the agenda.
The Sturgeon Bay Common Council will meet upstairs at City Hall beginning at 6 p.m.
