Council rezones parcels near South Front Street for light industrial use tied to proposed rail spur
Summary
The council approved rezoning parcels near South Front Street from heavy to light industrial to support logistics and storage related to a proposed railroad spur, citing anticipated distribution and farmer use of the spur.
Crookston’s council approved a rezoning to convert portions of two parcels near South Front Street from a heavier industrial classification to light industrial to accommodate logistics and storage uses tied to a proposed railroad spur.
City staff said the change reflects expected use as a distribution and storage area where farmers and local businesses could stage goods until rail service is available. Council discussion focused on allowable uses in the different industrial zones and the appropriateness of the light-industrial designation for logistics and transportation-related activities.
The resolution passed on roll call.
Next steps: staff will finalize zoning paperwork and update applicable land-use maps.
