Commission recommends rezoning, preliminary plat for Eden Addition at edge of Minot ETJ
Summary
The commission approved a replat and rezoning from agricultural to rural residential for Eden Addition Lot 1 and recommended approval of a preliminary plat for the remainder unplatted acreage; no development plan was filed for the new vacant lot.
May 6, 2025 — The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of a zoning map amendment and preliminary plat that will split an agricultural parcel in Minot’s extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction (ETJ) into two lots and rezone the property from AG (agricultural) to RR (rural residential).
City staff explained the property lies inside the two-mile extraterritorial zoning boundary and that, if split, the lot would fall below the acreage threshold for agricultural zonings, thus triggering a rezone to rural residential. The proposed preliminary plat would create a 5.19-acre Lot 1 (Eden Addition); staff recommended approval of the rezoning and the preliminary plat without conditions.
Staff told the commission that one of the replatted lots contains an existing homestead; the applicant has not submitted a development plan for the adjacent new lot. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about jurisdiction and whether a replat requires a development plan; staff confirmed none is required to create a vacant lot with a new zoning designation.
No members of the public testified for or against the application. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval to City Council; the motion passed in a roll-call vote with 10 yes votes.
Next steps: the rezoning and preliminary plat recommendation will be forwarded to City Council for final action under the city’s zoning map amendment process.
