Summary
The Brookings City Council adopted Ordinance 25-032 on a unanimous vote to rezone roughly 54 acres at 30 Fourth Avenue (the Annie Hansen property) from Agriculture to I-1 light industrial, following a unanimous planning commission recommendation and no public comment at the hearing.
The Brookings City Council voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance 25-032, rezoning about 54 acres of the Annie Hansen property near 30 Fourth Avenue from Agriculture to I-1 (light industrial). The action came during the council's public hearing and second-reading agenda item and followed a unanimous recommendation from the city planning commission.
Mike Strzok, community development director, presented the rezoning request and said, "The rezoning is consistent with our comprehensive plan as identified in this area for future business or industrial uses." Strzok told the council the property is approximately 54 acres and lies on the west half of the northwest quarter of Section 20, Township 110 North, Range 49 West.
The council opened the required public hearing on the ordinance, heard no public comment, then approved the ordinance. The city clerk called the roll: Council Member Hager, Council Member Becker, Council Member Tiltonburn, Deputy Mayor Nick Wendell, Council Member Avery and Council Member Norin all voted "aye." The motion passed and the ordinance was adopted.
Nut Graf: The rezoning will allow light industrial development on the Annie Hansen parcel and aligns with the city's comprehensive plan and the planning commission's unanimous recommendation. The council took no public testimony before voting to adopt the ordinance.
Background and key details: The item was presented as a second-reading/public-hearing action (Ordinance 25-032). The community development staff and the development review team supported the rezoning. No amendments or conditions were recorded in the hearing. The council did not identify a specific developer or project tied to the rezoning during the meeting.
