As part of that approval, numerous conditions were included, and the applicant was required to complete them by November I, 2025. The applicant is requesting an amendment to their approved CUP (CU 24-21) to extend the deadline from November I, 2025, to June I, 2026, to complete the outstanding conditions. The Ramsey City Council granted an extension to this date at their meeting on October 28, 2025. Other than the requested amended completion date, the applicant is not proposing anything different from the approved CU 24-21 CUP. Planning Commission During the public hearing, no one spoke for or against the request, and staff have not received any comments since the commission meeting. The Planning Commission had no questions or concerns about the request and unanimously recommended approval. Financial Impact None Mission/Policy/Goal Meet changing needs - agile. Page 253 of 447
