West Fargo commission approves second-reading rezoning for 1202 Prairie Parkway (Meijer)

The West Fargo City Commission on Monday approved a second-reading ordinance to rezone a property at 1202 Prairie Parkway from R2 (limited multiple dwellings) to C (light commercial), advancing a request tied to the A25-23 Meijer filing.

Aaron Nelson, director of planning for the City of West Fargo, told commissioners the rezoning request "had been presented to the commission and approved after a public hearing at the January 5 meeting" and that "there have been no changes to the request since that time." Nelson said the requested action that evening was to approve the second reading of the rezoning ordinance.

Commissioner Olsen moved to approve the ordinance on second reading; Commissioner Anderson seconded. The commission voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously.

The record shows the rezoning request would change the official zoning classification for the parcel at 1202 Prairie Parkway from R2 to C; the ordinance and any implementing conditions were those presented in the packet. The staff presentation did not list an ordinance number or an effective date for the rezoning.

No public comments were recorded on the item at the meeting. Staff and commissioners did not raise or record changes to the application during the second-reading vote.

Next steps: the commission adopted the second reading as presented; any effective date or additional administrative steps were not specified during the discussion.
