At its regular meeting, the Dickinson City Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of several routine subdivision plats and rezonings intended to clean up lot lines, enable gifts or transfers and create additional parking.

DN Warner final minor subdivision (FLP 010 2025): City planner Natalie Burczyk said the roughly 40-acre final minor subdivision in the city’s extraterritorial zone would split the parcel into two lots so the applicant can gift the northern portion to a grandson; staff reported no public comment and recommended approval. The commission moved and carried a recommendation in favor of the plat.

Diamond First rezone and plat (REZ 009 2025 / FLP 011 2025): Staff described a small rezone from General Commercial to General Industrial for a portion of Lot 1A in the Energy Center 1st Subdivision (about 0.64 acres) to allow consolidation with the property to the south; FLP-011-2025 is a replat to combine the southern portion of Lot 1A with Lot 4 (approx. 5.93 acres). Both the rezone and the final plat were recommended for approval; hearings drew no public comment.

23rd Street Addition final minor plat (FLP 012 2025): The commission considered FLP-012-2025, a replat to combine multiple small lots to provide additional paved parking adjacent to three apartment buildings recently purchased by Abel Corporation. Andrew Strank/Schrank (Highlands Engineering) told the commission that prior resolution (Resolution 09-2014) vacated some north–south easements and that the applicant plans to pursue a variance to reduce the landscape buffer to add roughly 15–20 parking stalls. Staff recommended approval and the commission carried the motion.

Votes at a glance: The commission recommended approval of FLP 010 2025 (DN Warner), REZ 008 2025 (Saint Joe’s Plaza PUD amendment), REZ 009 2025 (Diamond First), FLP 011 2025 (Diamond 1st Subdivision), FLP 012 2025 (23rd Street Addition), REZ 010 2025 (Sachs Motor rezone) and FLP 013 2025 (Saks 2nd Subdivision). Most items attracted little or no public comment; one property owner raised parking/snow-removal concerns during the Saint Joe’s Plaza discussion.

What comes next: The recommendations will move to the appropriate final decision-making body for each item; staff noted some approvals are contingent on companion rezonings and that additional public hearings may be required for variances or future lot modifications.
