The Community Development Committee is meeting 07/09/2025 at 4:30PM.
They have two action items on the agenda.
The first (which has an associated public hearing) is a request to amend the 2021 Community Development Block grant action plan to allow the Appleton Housing Authority to use $37,000 it still has remaining on rental rehabilitation rather than homeownership assistance and homeowner rehabilitation. Per the memo from city staff, “During 2020, 2021, and 2022, due to low interest rates, AHA experienced a high volume of repayments from their clients. Due to the high volume of repayments, AHA was temporarily unable to spend their allocation from the City of Appleton and had to focus on spending program income. AHA has seen a reduction in the total number of sales and repayments in the last few years with higher interest rates, but the 2021 funds remain unspent.” This change would allow them to use up the money.
The second is a request to approve a variance to the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for the Northeast Business Park to allow a minimum setback of 8 feet instead of 15 feet to parking for a proposed medical facility and office building on the corner of Goodland Drive and Conkey Street. Per the memo from city staff, “With the proposed medical facility and medical office building use, a greater demand for staff, patient and visitor parking is required per ordinance vs. industrial use which requires additional space. Parking areas will be landscaped according to meet municipal zoning requirements. The proposed use for this parcel was approved back in November 2015, therefore, allowing the parking requirements to reflect the use is acceptable.”
