Moorhead Planning Commission Approves Conditional Use Permit for New College Digital Sign
- Meeting Overview:
The Moorhead Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit request by YHR Consulting for Minnesota State Community and Technical College to install a new digital display sign. The commission also approved a vacation of right-of-way and utility easements in the Prairie Parkway development, facilitating a redesign into its fourth edition.
The commission held a public hearing on the conditional use permit for the new digital sign at 1900 28th Avenue South. The proposed sign, which replaces an existing one, will include an on-premise dynamic display component. The approval was contingent on 13 conditions, with the sign meeting all relevant code requirements. The location is strategically more than 200 feet away from residential areas and screened by existing trees. No public comments were received regarding the installation, and the staff recommended the commission approve the request, which the commission did unanimously.
The second significant item addressed was the request by Lowry Engineering on behalf of Prairie Parkway 2 LLC to vacate a portion of 41st Avenue South and adjacent utility easements. This action supports the redesign of the Prairie Parkway development into its approved fourth edition. The vacated area will be transformed into green space with a stormwater pond serving the new lots. Staff recommended approval, and again, no public comments were recorded. The commission unanimously recommended the vacation to the city council, contingent on four conditions.
