Council approves conditional use permit for 1115 Range Street hotel
Summary
The North Mankato City Council unanimously approved Conditional Use Permit CU‑1‑25 to allow a four‑story, 60‑foot hotel at 1115 Range Street, subject to design, trash enclosure, signage, and stormwater conditions set by the Planning Commission.
The North Mankato City Council approved Conditional Use Permit CU‑1‑25 on May 19 to allow construction of a four‑story, 60‑foot hotel at 1115 Range Street. Community Development Director Fischer told the council the B‑3 zoning district normally limits buildings to three stories or 45 feet, and the Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions on exterior design, an enclosed trash area, signage conforming to the City Sign Code, and stormwater management meeting state and local requirements. The motion to approve, moved by Council Member Steiner and seconded by Council Member Peterson, carried unanimously.
The permit allows the applicant to exceed standard height limits under the city's conditional‑use provisions; the council and Planning Commission determined the proposed height fits the character of the surrounding neighborhood if the listed conditions are met. Next steps include compliance review of final exterior plans, confirmation that the trash receptacle area is fully enclosed, and verification of stormwater measures during permitting and inspections.
