Rezoning Proposal Spurs Debate on School and Office Compatibility in Grand Marais
- Meeting Overview:
Overview: The Grand Marais Planning and Zoning Commission meeting was dominated by discussions on a zoning request from the Great Expectations Foundation, which seeks to rezone its property to a Highway Mixed Use (HMU) district. The foundation aims to repurpose its expanded but underutilized school facilities for office use, a move that would require both a zoning map amendment and a change in allowable uses within the HMU district to include schools and daycare facilities.
