City of Moorhead - Planning Commission Nov 02, 2026

The City of Moorhead Planning Commission meeting on November 2, 2026, considered land-use requests rather than procurement or contract awards. The commission recommended approval to the City Council of AT&T/New Singular Wireless PCS LLC’s conditional use permit for a permanent telecommunications tower at 1817 11th Street North, subject to eight conditions. Discussion addressed the tower’s relationship to a shared private sewer line; staff said the tower would not interfere with it. The commission also recommended approval of easement vacations in Prairie Parkway Second Addition, Prairie Parkway Third Addition, and Mallard Creek Second Addition. The Mallard Creek request would clear title issues affecting the development, including a pending building-permit application for a McDonald’s drive-through; no contract or spending amount was discussed.

The commission also discussed proposed 2027 meeting dates and moving the January application deadline one week earlier because of holiday staffing and leave. Staff identified December 6, 2026, as the new deadline, although the transcript does not clearly capture the related motion or vote. No procurement activity, vendor selection, or budget allocation was identified.
