PUBLIC HEARING
1. 2024-02 – 9451 Excelsior Boulevard – Depot Coffeehouse – Zoning Map
Amendment
City Planner Krzos presented an overview of Planning & Zoning Report 2024-02. The
City on behalf of the property owner, the Metropolitan Council, requests a Zoning Map
Amendment (rezoning) for 9451 Excelsior Boulevard, the parcel containing the Depot
Coffeehouse that also contains a Regional Trailhead and parking for trail users. The site
does not have an assigned zoning classification. The request would assign the MX-S,
Mixed-Use Suburban Center zoning designation to the property. The amendment would
facilitate an update to the City’s permit to occupy the space for the Depot Coffeehouse
and allows for the current food service and entertainment use, as well as the
recreational trail use. No modifications to the site or use are proposed.
After general comments and clarification from the Commission, Chairperson Wright
opened the public hearing. No one from the public was in attendance.
Motion by Ilstrup. Second by Nur.
