Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting - November 12, 2025

The City of Dickinson Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on November 12, 2025, primarily addressing a zoning map amendment request to rezone approximately 1.13 acres from low-density residential (R1) to medium-density residential (R2). The rezoning would allow construction of three four-unit multifamily residential buildings, requiring a future replat of the property. Despite staff recommending approval, significant public opposition was expressed, citing concerns about decreased property values, increased traffic, and access issues for existing Quanset housing. The commission ultimately approved the rezoning by majority vote. Additionally, the commission discussed potential amendments to industrial off-street parking standards, focusing on surfacing materials to reduce dust and maintenance issues. Staff proposed requiring all-weather surfacing or chip sealing for industrial vehicle circulation areas, with possible compliance timelines for existing properties. The commission agreed to consider ordinance changes in future meetings.
