8-20-26 Plan and Zoning Commission Meeting

The City of Des Moines Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on August 20, 2026, primarily to consider zoning and land use requests. Key procurement-related discussions focused on a rezoning request for two parcels at 1210 and 1220 Army Post Road by Tiger Knight, represented by Barry Nelson. The applicant sought to rezone the property from limited MX3 mixed use district to CX mixed use district to allow warehouse use and accommodate tenants such as a law firm needing document storage. Staff recommended approval of the rezoning with existing zoning conditions maintained, including prohibitions on certain uses and outdoor storage. The commission discussed zoning history, site plan compliance, and outdoor storage issues, particularly regarding trailers used by a lawn care tenant. The commission unanimously approved the staff recommendation to rezone the property to limited CX district with conditions. No direct contract awards or budget allocations were discussed, but the rezoning decision could impact future commercial leasing and property use in the area.
