Minot planning commission backs rezoning of former Firestone site at 301 E. Central
Summary
At a Tuesday planning commission meeting, members unanimously recommended rezoning the former Firestone building at 301 East Central Avenue from M-2 (Heavy Industrial) to CBD (Central Business District) to allow renovation into commercial space; the recommendation now goes to city council.
The Minot Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend changing the zoning of the building at 301 East Central Avenue from M-2 (Heavy Industrial) to CBD (Central Business District), a move staff says would allow renovation of the property into commercial storefronts.
City staff presented maps and a written report outlining the request from Justin Ronick, who is representing CXL LLC, and noted a 300-foot notification area and the site's Downtown Fringe future land-use designation. "This is the old Firestone Building in case you're wondering," one staff presenter said while showing aerial views and nearby zoning. Staff "recommended that the planning commission adopt staff finding of fact and recommend approval to the city council for a zoning map amendment from M-2 Heavy Industrial District to Central Business District," the presenter added.
Chair (name not specified) opened the public hearing and, after no members of the public spoke, closed it. Commissioner Robert Kibler moved to approve the recommendation based on staff findings; Commissioner Ziegler seconded. A roll-call vote recorded support from the attending commissioners and the motion carried.
The commission's action is a recommendation to the Minot City Council; the council will make the final decision on the requested rezoning. The staff report provided the legal description for the property and additional maps; those materials were referenced during the presentation but not read into the record in full. The next procedural step is for city staff to prepare the planning commission recommendation packet for City Council consideration.
