The Mandan Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on July 27, 2026, primarily to discuss proposed revisions to the Mandan land use and zoning code, excluding the data center section which is reserved for future review. The commission reviewed the extensive update process that began in 2023, including audits, public input, and working sessions. Key changes proposed include updates to landscaping requirements, park dedication, access management, right-of-way widths, zoning districts, use types, administrative processes, and parking regulations. Public comments raised concerns about tree planting requirements, potential impacts of the upcoming data center ordinance, and environmental considerations related to wastewater treatment. The commission emphasized that no data center application had been submitted yet, and discussions on that topic would continue separately. The meeting concluded with a motion, passed unanimously, to recommend approval of the draft land use code sections 101 and 109 to the city commission, along with the repeal and reservation of section 105.
