Planning Commission Meeting - April 28, 2026

The City of Rosemount Planning Commission held a meeting on April 28, 2026, addressing two primary agenda items related to land use and development. The first was a public hearing on a proposed zoning map amendment to rezone a subdivision from R1 low-density residential to R2 low to medium-density residential. This rezoning aimed to legalize existing non-conforming duplexes and allow rental licensing, which had been an issue for some properties. The commission heard concerns from residents about potential neighborhood changes, increased traffic, and property values. Staff recommended approval of the rezoning for the entire subdivision rather than individual parcels to bring uses into conformance with the zoning code. The second major item was a site plan review, rezoning, and conditional use permit request by Scannell Properties LLC to construct a 250,000 square foot warehouse and distribution facility. The commission discussed site access, parking, landscaping, lighting, and architectural details. While some conditions and revisions were still pending, staff and the applicant planned to finalize these before City Council approval. The commission considered motions to recommend approval of the zoning map amendment and site plan review, with some members expressing a preference to continue the site plan review to the next meeting for additional details. Public comments raised concerns about traffic, noise, and future road expansions. Overall, the meeting focused on land use changes, zoning compliance, and development approvals with attention to community impact and code adherence.
