The Eden Prairie Planning Commission meeting on March 25, 2024, focused primarily on a proposed comprehensive plan amendment and zoning change for a 60.91-acre property at 11840 Valley View Road. The Eden Prairie School District seeks to purchase the former UNFI building to house its Tassel transition program, which supports adults with special needs aged 18 to 22. The discussion highlighted the program's mission, community engagement plans, and the minimal tax impact of the acquisition. Staff and commissioners addressed environmental assessments, traffic studies, and potential future uses of the property, emphasizing the need for community input and phased development. Additionally, the commission considered a code amendment to increase allowable office use percentages in certain industrial zoning districts to support evolving business needs and economic development. The meeting concluded with acknowledgments of a departing commissioner and motions to approve the discussed amendments.
