Stillwater Planning Commission 07/07/2026

The Stillwater Planning Commission held a meeting on July 7, 2026, primarily focused on zoning map amendments and an annexation request. Key procurement-related discussions involved rezoning properties to facilitate residential development, including a request to rezone 524 West 10th Avenue from multifamily to small lot single family residential, and a request to rezone 799 East Mercury Avenue from commercial and neighborhood transition zones to residential two-family to allow duplex construction. The commission addressed public concerns about traffic, drainage, flooding, and neighborhood impact, with assurances that these issues would be addressed during subsequent preliminary plat and drainage study reviews. Additionally, the commission considered annexing approximately 33.64 acres for small lot single family residential development, recommending approval to the city council. Motions to approve the map amendments and annexation passed unanimously, with staff emphasizing that detailed development plans and infrastructure improvements would be reviewed in future proceedings.
