Minneapolis Planning Commission adopts four consent items, including two street renamings

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minneapolis Planning Commission adopted four consent-agenda items at its regular meeting on Oct. 20, 2025, approving two street-renaming requests and two property items by unanimous voice vote with no public testimony.

Chair Chris Meyer opened the meeting and called the roll before reading staff’s recommendation to place four items on the consent agenda. The commission voted to adopt the consent agenda after no members of the public came forward to speak for or against the recommendations.

The four items adopted on consent were: • Item 4 — Street renaming: Chi Zhong Memorial Way for a segment of Knox Avenue North (described in the meeting record as between 26th Avenue North and “20 Seventh”). • Item 5 — Street renaming: Kirk Washington Jr. Way for Logan Avenue North. • Item 6 — Property-related item: addresses listed as 201, 217 and 229 West Broadway Avenue (matter details not specified in the record). • Item 7 — Property-related item: 2933 Pleasant Avenue (matter details not specified in the record).

Commissioners present stated there were five members in attendance; the consent agenda was adopted by voice vote. The meeting record does not identify an individual roll-call vote for each commissioner; the chair announced the motion, a second was recorded, and commissioners responded "aye." There were no abstentions recorded in the proceeding.

There was no substantive discussion of the individual items on the public record, and no testimony was offered at the public-comment period for these items. The commission’s agenda noted the items were placed on consent at staff recommendation; Commissioners had the opportunity to pull items for discussion, but none did.

The commission concluded its business and announced its next regular meeting for Nov. 3, 2025.
