The Sturgeon Bay Common Council will consider several housing-related items during its meeting Tuesday, with much of the discussion centered on Division Road.
After addressing the second reading of an ordinance affecting the city's historic preservation code and the purchase of a new vehicle, the council will turn its attention to two proposed developments.
First, the council will consider a Plan Commission recommendation to approve a zoning map amendment that would reclassify a parcel at 1259 Division Road from agricultural to two-family residential. The approval would pave the way for a new 55-lot subdivision featuring a mix of single-family homes and duplexes. Thirty of the 55 lots would be reserved for workforce housing.
The rezoning would also set the stage for a planned unit development proposed by DOCO Iron Gate LLC. The developer is seeking approval to build a condominium development featuring 34 storage units with optional living space on a portion of the property. The units would be similar to those built along South 18th Avenue and Utah Street near State Highway 42/57.
During last month's Plan Commission meeting, developer Jim Conard said he believes this type of housing is needed. While he expects many of the owners to be seasonal residents, he said the condominium association documents would prohibit the units from being used as short-term rentals.
The Sturgeon Bay Common Council will meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the council chambers at City Hall.
