Consideration with possible action of a request to amend the City of Green Bay’s Comprehensive Plan for property located in the 4000 Block of Champeau Road (Parcel No. 22-SC490) from commercial to light industry, submitted by Seth Lenss, ICS Properties, LLC, petitioner, on behalf of Joe Moore, agent for the property owners. Excerpt from Staff Report: The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment would allow for the future rezoning of the property for light manufacturing uses. Petitioners overall goal is to develop self-service storage/warehousing use. The Green Bay Smart Growth Comprehensive Plan recommends commercial land- use for the subject property as well as all adjoining lands. 1 The subject 10.8 acre parcel is located at the 4000 Block of Champeau Road adjacent on the east side of northbound State Trunk Highway 54/57. Wequiock Creek runs along the north end of the property. Lands located within the City of Green Bay to the north and northeast is the University Heights Commerce Center currently developed with a medical center. Lands located within the Town of Scott to the south include Tillman Wholesale and Nursery along the highway, a sign company, multi-tenant commercial and residential homes along the southwest corner of Maloney Road and Champeau Road. City and Town staff have evaluated the request and collectively believe the Comprehensive Plan land-use change from commercial to light industrial may create a detriment for the surrounding neighborhood as a “spot” land use change is not consistent with surrounding land uses and existing or future zoning. We would like to stress that the Joint Plan Commission should not simply consider just the proposed warehousing use but all the uses allowed in the district. The University Heights Commerce Center Light Manufacturing zoning permits much more intense land-uses than the Mixed-Use zoning and changing categories for this parcel isolates a light industrial use that is not consistent with the envisioned future development in this area of the University Heights Commerce Center. The proposed amendment is not consistent and does not provide a transition to existing and proposed uses. The roadway network (Maloney then Champeau) is not designed for higher volume or heavy truck traffic, which could be part of the various light manufacturing land-uses allowed. Additionally, the subject property is large enough to support a plethora of commercial or residential activities and has extremely high visibility with substantial highway frontage and staff feels that manufacturing/warehousing uses are not the highest and best uses of the property. Applicant: Seth Lenss & Joe Moore S. Lenss explained that he is proposing self-storage development. He explained: ~ That the 10 acre parcel change would not be significant impact on the area. ~ The Town had changed 2 of the parcels to Commercial. ~ His proposal would not create significant traffic. ~ The site has water available but does not have access to the sewer line, without significant cost. ~ His proposal of self-storage would not require sewer lines. In closing he is asking for the change in classification. Neighbor provided an e-mail comment: Hello, we are the neighbors to the East of the property and would be most affected by the project. We support the development! Sincerely, Frank and Doris Arcuri Joe Moore, (Realtor listing the property): Explained how, as the Real Estate Listing Agent there have been no willing buyers due to the cost of extending the sewer line. He provided other examples of developments in the area. Discussion by JPC: Rakers: Asked staff if they feel there is already too much commercial in the area, and what is the best future land use. Buck: Explained that the Comprehensive Plan will soon be updated and the land uses in the Joint Planning Area should also be updated. 2 Cerny: Explained the historic process of including the neighbors with the original planning maps and proposed uses. A change and re-visit to these plans should include the residents and the land owners. Dorff: Asked about stormwater management due to the large amount of proposed impervious surfaces. Buck: explained that it is a conceptual plan and that level of detail has not yet been developed. Rovinski: asked if the Town and the City had discussed how to improve the are with Sewer (and water) and he asked if there is Federal money that would be available. Buck: Explained that originally the City was going to improve the area thru the use of TIF monies. Cerny: The Town has been researching some of the same questions about Federal money and infrastructure improvements and is interested in further discussing. Dorff: Asked for clarification on the process; if this were approved would it go the the Plan Commission. Staff responded yes. A motion was made by E. Rakers and seconded by Rovinski to deny the request to amend the City of Green Bay’s Comprehensive Plan. Discussion: Moore addressed the JPC stating that a development like this would be a catalyst for future development, and provide an example of what land values should actually be priced at (being purchased for $35,000 per acre). Dorff: Started this meeting looking to have questions answered, which he felt were answered, he would be in favor of the request. Motion carried 3-1. INFORMATIONAL 1. Joint Plan Commission background discussion D. Buck and D. Cerny summarized the background of the Joint Plan Commission, its roles, and its duties. The formation of the Joint Plan Commission is tied to the Boundary Agreement between the City and the Town. That Agreement was approved by the City and the Town on March 3, 2003, and the Joint Plan Commission had their first meeting on October 1, 2003. Rakers: emphasizes that the Joint Planning Commission has had a good working relationship and the City and the Town has worked together throughout the parcel. ADJOURNMENT: A motion was made by Rovinski and seconded by Hroska to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried 4-0.

Staff Comments: Since the Joint Planning Committee (JPC) has not met since 2022 a Chair and Vice- Chair will need to be elected. It has been the past practice of the JPC to elect one position from each community and alternate with each election. Staff Recommendation: Since this meeting is occurring late in the calendar year the election can be for the rest of 2024 through 2025. This would be at the JPC’s discretion. Agenda Item #2 – Introductions and Joint Plan Commission background, duties, and responsibilities. Staff Comments: Since there are new members on the Joint Planning Committee and the Committee has met only periodically over the last several years, staff would like to summarize the history and purpose of the JPC. The formation of the Joint Planning Area (JPA) and the Joint Planning Committee (JPC) is tied to the Boundary Agreement between the City and the Town. That Agreement was approved by the City and the Town on March 3, 2003, and the JPC had their first meeting on October 1, 2003. The JPA is an area comprised of lands within both City’s and the Town’s jurisdiction. The JPA is to be developed with an overall Master Plan “…that will be a general guide that will describe the ‘look and feel’ of the area, with the intention that future land uses are determined by the ‘best-use’ of the land.” Management of the Plan: “A joint planning committee (JPC) should be established that would be responsible for the Plan and for reviewing proposals in the joint planning area.” Given the scope outlined in this agreement and the fact that this planning process began over 20 years ago there is a need to review concepts, plans, and land use recommendations. Future meetings can be focused on exploring these efforts in more detail. Agenda Item #3 – Review/Take Action on a request for a 2-lot Certified Survey Map (CSM) located at 4576 Church Rd. (Parcel SC-450-3). Janet and Wayne Harrig, applicants. Staff Comments: The request is for a 2-lot CSM, located on the south side of Church Rd., east of Craanen Rd.
