Planning commission approves minutes and multiple annexations, zoning and land‑use requests; routine items advance to council
Summary
The St. Cloud Planning Commission approved minutes and recommended approval of a batch of annexations, zoning map amendments and plan changes, forwarding the items to City Council for final action.
The St. Cloud Planning Commission handled a group of routine and quasi‑routine land‑use items and approved minutes before closing the meeting.
Minutes: Commissioners approved the previous meeting’s minutes by a 5‑0 vote.
City Electric Supply (CNU 24‑000003 / Resolution 2025‑031R): Staff recommended approval of a conditional use to allow screened outdoor storage at 1443 Belladonna Place in the Highway Business zoning district. The applicant proposed an opaque 8‑foot fence enclosing a 50‑by‑14‑foot area with a 20‑foot rolling gate; staff recommended conditions including utility‑access clearance and that no equipment be displayed outside the fenced area. The commission recommended approval (motion passed unanimously), advancing the resolution to City Council.
Friars Cove Lane (ZMA 24‑000014): Staff presented a zoning map amendment to change agricultural county zoning to R‑1 single‑family residential consistent with surrounding development; the commission recommended approval per staff findings.
Tavares Santiago (CPA 24‑000011 and ZMA 24‑000010): The commission recommended approval of a comprehensive‑plan amendment and zoning map amendment associated with an annexation the commission previously approved; staff said the request aligns the city future land use and zoning with the contiguous county property.
Puffin Road Commercial (Ordinances 2025‑21/22/23): The commission recommended approval of annexation, comprehensive plan amendment and highway‑business zoning for a commercial parcel along Ralph Miller Road corridor; staff said the request is contiguous, reasonable in shape and consistent with the joint planning agreement.
Anthem Ralph Miller Road (Ordinances 2025‑24/25/26): The commission recommended approval of annexation, future land use change to public‑institutional and open‑space/recreation zoning to allow a communications tower monopole (50‑foot monopole/tree design). Staff said the site is intended to provide needed coverage for existing and future residents.
All items listed above were recommended to City Council for final action; most passed unanimously or by routine roll call. Several items noted dependencies such as site development review, engineering approvals and state or agency permits (for example, SFWMD or FDOT) before construction or operational changes could occur.
