Summary

The Planning Commission approved rezoning 1160 Fortune Avenue from agricultural-residence to I1 Light Industrial after owner Patrick Bartells said the change aligns with surrounding uses and may allow future shop construction; no opposition was recorded.

The Detroit Lakes Planning Commission approved a rezoning request for 1160 Fortune Avenue, moving the parcel from RA (agricultural/residence) to I1 (Light Industrial), aligning the site with adjacent industrial land uses.

Property owner Patrick Bartells of PJ's Properties told the commission he currently uses the site for storage and is seeking a zoning designation that would allow leasing and potential future construction of a shop with required permits. Bartells described the request as straightforward and consistent with the comprehensive plan, and no members of the public objected during the hearing.

Commissioners voted to recommend approval; the item will proceed to the Community Development Committee and City Council for final action. Bartells said any future construction would follow permitting processes.
