City of Faribault Live Stream - Planning Commission 5-4-2026

The City of Faribault Planning Commission held a meeting on May 4, 2026, primarily discussing a development project involving a second phase of multifamily housing. The applicant, Hamilton Real Estate, presented plans for a four-story building similar to the first phase, with some exterior color changes and a combination of tuck-under and separate garage buildings. Commissioners inquired about the project's phases, trail alignments, and land acquisition details, including whether the city sells land via RFPs or market price. The commission approved the project with a motion and second. Additionally, the commission discussed renaming an agenda item from "boards and commission updates" to "city council updates" to better reflect the content, which was also approved by vote. No specific contract awards or dollar amounts were mentioned during the meeting.
