Planning Commission Meeting 3/19/26

The CTN Coon Rapids Planning Commission held a meeting on March 19, 2026, where they reviewed and recommended approval for a site plan and dimensional flexibility for Sweet Senior Living, a proposed 32-unit assisted living and memory care facility. Key procurement-related discussions included a reduction in required parking spaces from 38 to 24 based on the nature of the facility's residents, and conditions related to sidewalk construction and site security agreements. The commission also recommended approval of an ordinance amendment aligning subdivision variance standards with state statute, simplifying approval processes. Both cases will be forwarded to the city council for final approval on April 7, 2026. Additionally, the commission previewed upcoming agenda items, including a conditional use permit request for reopening an existing assisted living facility and proposed changes to sign disposal policies.
