Bellevue Planning Commission - February 26, 2026

The Bellevue Planning Commission held a meeting on February 26, 2026, focusing on two key public hearings related to land use and zoning. The first hearing involved a request to rezone and subdivide an 18-acre parcel into two 9-acre lots, with the city recommending approval based on compliance with zoning and subdivision regulations. The second hearing addressed a proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance to define and regulate agritourism activities, including retail farm stores, educational spaces, and commercial kitchens, while explicitly excluding camping and certain mechanical rides. The commission discussed the need for conditional use permits to manage site plans, parking, and building construction associated with agritourism. Both items were approved by the commission and scheduled for further public hearing at the city council level. The meeting emphasized regulatory compliance and the use of conditional permits to manage new agricultural-related commercial activities within the city.
