Planning Commission Meeting - September 22, 2026

The City of Rosemount Planning Commission held a meeting on September 22, 2026, primarily to consider a variance request related to a property at 14997 Fisher Avenue. The applicant sought approval to construct an accessory building exceeding the 2,400 square foot maximum allowed in the A2 Agricultural Zoning District by 366 square feet. The commission discussed zoning classifications, the property's agricultural use, and comparisons with neighboring properties and other municipalities' regulations. After a public hearing and deliberation, the commission voted 4-3 to approve the variance, finding unique circumstances related to the property's history and surrounding uses. The decision can be appealed to the City Council within ten days. Additionally, the commission received an update on the upcoming comprehensive plan update, noting a professional services agreement with Stantec and anticipated kickoff meetings in late October or November.
