Planning Commission 11/10/26 at 5:30 p.m.

The City of Minot Planning Commission met on November 10, 2026, and considered several land-use and development applications. The Commission voted to recommend City Council approval of preliminary plats and zoning changes for a small public-utility lot associated with an MDU project, four residential lots in Battlegrounds Second Addition, and residential rezoning and replats in North Ridge Village Fourth Addition. Conditions included dedicating 40 feet of right-of-way from the centerline of 55th Street and recording a second amendment or new developer’s agreement for North Ridge Village; the associated road is to become public. Commissioners also discussed a vacant foundation and site safety, while the applicant’s representative said individual builders or owners would likely develop the lots.

The Commission approved a renewed conditional use permit for a 195-foot wireless communications tower, subject to requirements including FAA approval, a licensed engineer’s fall-zone certification, accommodation for at least four carriers, and construction within one year. It also approved the 2027 meeting schedule. No contract awards, vendor selections, purchasing decisions, budget allocations, or other procurement activity were identified.
