Mandan Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Summary - September 28, 2026

The Mandan Planning and Zoning Commission met on September 28, 2026, at 5:30 PM. The main agenda item was a public hearing and vote on a zone change request for Octavia's Addition. The commission also approved the minutes from the August 24th meeting with corrections. The meeting concluded with no further business.

Consent Calendar

  • Minutes Approval: The commission approved the minutes from the August 24th, 2026 meeting with two corrections: on page 5, paragraph 4, "Commissioner Lang" was corrected to "Commissioner Hammond" regarding an inquiry about a half-mile measurement; on page 21, paragraph 1, "Commissioner Lang" was corrected to "Commissioner Hammond" regarding a comment about "kicking the can down the road." The motion to approve with corrections passed unanimously (9-0).

Public Comments & Testimony

  • No members of the public provided comments or testimony during the public hearing for the zone change.

Discussion Items

  • Zone Change and Minor Plat for Octavia's Addition: Staff Planner Jordan introduced the item, noting that the commission would only consider the zone change (from Agricultural to R7 Residential) that evening. The minor plat would be finalized before the city commission meeting. Dave (staff) presented the request: the property is located at 5406 Highland Place North within the Mandan ETZ, currently agricultural, and proposed to be rezoned to R7 (single-family residential) on a 6.96-acre lot. Adjacent properties to the north, east, and south are agricultural; the west is already R7. The future land use map designates this area as medium-density residential and indicates a future roadway alignment running east-west through the property. Staff noted that they would work with the MPO (Metropolitan Planning Organization) to address the roadway alignment issue. Commissioner Huber requested that staff explain R7 zoning: Dave responded that R7 is standard single-family residential, commonly used for new construction in Mandan. No other questions were raised.

Key Outcomes

  • Zone Change Recommendation: The commission voted unanimously (9-0) to recommend approval of the zone change from Agricultural to R7 for Octavia's Addition. The minor plat will be addressed separately before the city commission. The meeting was adjourned without further business.
