The City of Westminster Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on October 15, 2026, addressed subdivision and site-plan applications, a comprehensive plan amendment, and a continued work session on a proposed mixed-use development. The Commission conditionally approved final subdivision plat M24-027 for Meadow Branch Industrial Park, dividing 15.775 acres into three lots, subject to addressing outstanding comments. It also conditionally approved site development plan S24-015 for a proposed 15,000-square-foot office and storage building, with the applicant required to revise the building elevations in coordination with staff and return them to the Commission for final approval. No contract awards, bids, or other procurement actions were identified.
The Commission voted to introduce comprehensive plan amendment CPM 26-01 for a 60-day review process. The amendment would add two city-owned parcels—94.3 and 12.5 acres, purchased by the City in 2025—to the municipal growth area boundary as a step toward possible future annexation and public-works use; no purchase amount was stated. The Commission continued the work session on LMA 26-01, concerning a proposed 122-unit apartment development with about 9,100 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, to November 19 for further discussion of traffic impacts, density, and pedestrian access. Updates also covered county discussions on data-center zoning, a solar project proceeding to final site-plan review, and other county planning matters.
