# Rapid City Planning Commission 08-27-2026

The Rapid City Zoning Board of Adjustment and Planning Commission meeting on August 27, 2026, addressed zoning and land-use applications; no procurement activity, contract awards, or budget decisions were identified. The Zoning Board approved a variance for a 120-square-foot addition at 3119 Flint Drive to maintain an 8-foot side-yard setback, with fire sprinklers and fire-resistant materials required. It also approved a variance for a contractor storage yard and 12,000-square-foot warehouse expansion at 970 North Valley Drive, allowing gravel surfacing and a 6-foot chain-link fence, with annual dust suppressant application. Both motions passed.

The board approved a variance for a proposed Burger King at the former Wendy’s site to provide nine drive-through stacking spaces rather than the 14 required by code; the motion passed with one commissioner opposed. In the Planning Commission portion, consent items 1–3 were approved, item 4 was approved with staff-report stipulations including a floodplain development permit before construction, and another item was continued to September 10 at the applicant’s request. The commission also approved a conditional use permit for an oversized detached garage, subject to stipulations barring commercial use or use as a second residence.
