Green Bay Plan Commission - Oct 12, 2026
Seven parcels between existing auto uses would shift from C1 to C2, letting a former used car lot reopen without conditional use permits. It extends the established auto-commercial character of the corridor and improves conforming status for existing uses including a two-family home.

Green Bay Plan Commission - Jun 29, 2026
Three long-standing houses on Roy Avenue sit in a neighborhood commercial zone even though they've always been residential. The rezoning to low-density residential brings them into compliance — with no practical change for neighbors, as staff explained to one curious resident by email.
Improvement and Services Committee - Jun 10, 2026
Residents of nearby apartment complexes asked for a review of whether sidewalks are needed on Eastman Avenue. The committee referred the question (PC-26-11) to city staff for study.
