The City Plan Commission is meeting 09/14/2022 at 3:30 PM.

They will be voting on a Special Use Permit for a craft distillery with a tasting room on Lawrence Street next to Wells Fargo.

The Commission will also be voting on a request to amend the city’s Comprehensive Plan 2010-2030 regarding Soldier’s Square and the YMCA Parking Ramp. As laid out on the staff report, “On March 15, 2017, the Common Council approved/adopted the 5-year update to the Comprehensive Plan 2010-2030 and Future Land Use Map. This plan establishes a vision for future land use, physical development, and quality of life in the City and provides a comprehensive set of goals, policies, and initiatives to achieve that vision. Periodically, development proposals or changing circumstances within the City may trigger an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan 2010-2030.

“On June 1, 2022, the Council discussed and rejected Resolution #6-R-22 “Revitalization of Soldier’s Square”. However, the discussion indicated that Council supports this project as a philanthropic public[1]private collaboration and would like to see a fundraising component.”

Staff would like to update the text of the 2010-2030 Comprehensive Plan to more accurately reflect how the city currently views Soldier’s Square and the YMCA Parking Ramp.

Additionally, they will be voting to approve the final plat for a residential development.

Finally, as an information item, the commission will review the roles and responsibilities of the City Plan Commission.
