Planning Commission - 08 Jun 2026

The City of Burnsville Planning Commission held a meeting on June 8, 2026, primarily to consider a conditional use permit (CUP) application from Blue Fire Brands LLC to operate a cannabis micro business at 12701 Sheridan Avenue South. The business plans to cultivate, manufacture, and potentially retail cannabis products within an 11,000 square foot space in an industrial park zoning district. The commission reviewed detailed operational plans, security measures, odor control, parking requirements, and compliance with state and local regulations. The CUP includes provisions for retail sales under the cannabis micro business license umbrella, though the applicant indicated a preference to delay retail operations at this site. The commission discussed the regulatory framework, parking, and transportation logistics, including the use of licensed cannabis transporters. After public testimony and discussion, the commission voted to approve the CUP with 13 conditions, including requirements for licensing, security, odor suppression, and screening of rooftop equipment and trash areas. Additionally, the commission received updates on zoning ordinance approvals and commissioner appointments. No specific contract awards or procurement actions were discussed during the meeting.
