Planning Commission approves Jensen Capital's Lux Lockers business suites in Mitchell

The City of Mitchell Planning Commission convened on May 12, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including the approval of a new business development project and the scheduling of future meetings.

The meeting began with the approval of the agenda and the minutes from the previous meeting, both of which passed without opposition. The commission set the date for the next meeting on May 27, 2025, at noon, to be held in the same location.

A significant topic of discussion was the plan approval for Jensen Capital Development LLC, which aims to construct business suites and contractor storage yards at 1303 South Olin Street. The proposed development, named Lux Lockers, will consist of individual units intended for contractors. The project includes the establishment of a homeowners association (HOA) responsible for maintenance tasks such as snow removal and landscaping.

Mark, a representative for the project, outlined the general concept plan, noting that construction would begin on the eastern side of the property and progress westward. The development will also address drainage concerns in the area, with plans currently being coordinated with a site engineer.

Jeremy Jensen, the owner of Jensen Capital and Development, emphasized the project's strategic location near Interstate 90, which is expected to facilitate access for various businesses. He mentioned that the first building has already been presold to a business expanding in the Mitchell area.

The meeting concluded with an invitation for questions, but no further inquiries were raised regarding the development. The commission's approval of the project marks a step forward in enhancing local business infrastructure in Mitchell.
