Planning Commission - 06.04.26

The City of Minnetonka Planning Commission held a meeting on June 4, 2026, primarily focused on land use applications and concept plan reviews. A key procurement-related discussion involved a concept plan for an expanded senior residential development at 5900 Roland Road. The proposed project includes a 100 to 130 unit, 55-plus residential building with 133 parking stalls, requiring a comprehensive plan amendment and variances related to steep slope encroachments. Commissioners and public commenters discussed concerns about building height, traffic impact, environmental considerations, and tree preservation. While no formal votes were taken on the concept plan, commissioners generally supported the project's merit with recommendations to address density, height, and neighborhood impact in future reviews. The meeting also included approval of a variance for a detached garage at 3401 Morland Road and updates on zoning ordinance revisions and upcoming city tours.
