Planning Commission reviews broader code changes, shipping‑container ADUs and development updates

River Heights City Planning Commission · July 28, 2026

Summary

Commissioners reviewed upcoming code amendments including a Senior Citizen PUD and changes tied to the ADU ordinance, discussed whether to research shipping‑container ADUs, and received brief updates on the Cottage Creek developer and a Weston property under contract.

Commissioner Anna Lisa Davidson led a review of upcoming code changes July 28, including recommended adjustments to accommodate a Senior Citizen planned-unit development and the ADU ordinance. She raised the possibility of allowing ADUs built from shipping containers and asked staff to research standards and appearance guidelines for such units before the public hearing process.

Commissioners also discussed ongoing development items: Commissioner Keenan Ryan said he had reached out to developer Blaine Hamblin about the Cottage Creek project but had not received new information, and that the Weston property at 600 South 700 East was under contract until Aug. 10. The Commission announced plans to hold public hearings at the next meeting on three items: the code changes, the ADU ordinance, and proposed General Plan amendments.
