CONSENT AGENDA 3.1 Approve Minutes from June 1, 2026 Commission Member Ruppe moved, Commission Member Sattersten seconded a motion to approve the consent agenda. Motion carried 5-0. 4. PUBLIC HEARINGS 4.1 Consider Amendments to Section 125-84(i) related to Swimming Pools, Hot Tubs, and Spas. Staff Presentation. City Planner Alec Henderson summarized the proposed amendments to Section 125-84(i) of the Rogers Zoning Code, set forth in Ordinance No. 2026-13. The amendments bring the City’s standards into conformance with the Minnesota State Building Code and broaden the section to cover hot tubs and spas in addition to swimming pools. Barrier and gate standards are aligned to the building Page 3 of 62code, including the four-inch sphere opening limit, a maximum two-inch gap at the ground, and a twenty-inch minimum distance between the pool side of the barrier and the water’s edge. An automatic cover meeting ASTM F1346 may be used in place of a safety fence, and a hot tub or spa with a lockable hard cover meeting that standard is exempt from the fencing requirement. The setback is restated as a single five-foot standard from side and rear lot lines rather than five feet layered on top of other required yard setbacks, which had caused confusion in the field. Exceptions for above- ground and temporary pools and removable ladders are clarified, the maximum barrier height is reduced from eight feet to six feet to match the City’s general fence-height standard, equipment location and lighting standards are simplified, and duplicative provisions are consolidated and renumbered. Henderson characterized the changes as clarifying and conforming in nature. Commission Discussion. The Commission raised no questions or concerns regarding the proposed amendments. Acting Chair Hunt opened the public hearing at 7:05 PM. No members of the public appeared to speak. Commission Member Sattersten moved, Commission Member Kussman seconded a motion to close the public hearing. Motion carried 5-0. Commission Member Sattersten moved, Commission Member Ruppe seconded a motion to recommend approval of Ordinance 2026-13, Amending Sec. 125-84(i) Swimming Pools, Hot Tubs, and Spas, to the City Council. Motion carried 5-0. 5. NEW BUSINESS 5.1 Consider Site Plan Request to Convert a Single-Family Residence to an Assembly Use at 13620 Brockton Lane N. Staff Presentation. City Planner Alec Henderson presented the site plan application from MN Sikh, represented by Gurdeep Singh, to convert the existing single-family residence at 13620 Brockton Lane to an assembly use. The 4.28-acre parcel is zoned R3 (Medium Density Residential) and lies within the Grass Lake shoreland overlay district. The applicant proposes to remodel the interior of the existing home to accommodate one weekly service of approximately three hours on Sundays. Exterior improvements include a 25-stall parking area with three ADA-accessible stalls, an updated driveway connection to Brockton Lane meeting the 24-foot minimum width, an accessible ramp and route, and a biofiltration basin for stormwater management. The proposed improvements total approximately 18,034 square feet, which exceeds the ten percent minor amendment threshold and requires full site plan review under Sec. 125- 27, with Planning Commission review and City Council approval. Henderson explained that the remaining parking area is proposed to remain gravel on an interim basis, with paving phased through a Site Improvement Agreement, and that connection to Page 4 of 62municipal sanitary sewer and water is proposed in conjunction with the Hennepin County CSAH 13 (Brockton Lane) reconstruction project anticipated for 2027. Staff recommended approval subject to the conditions in draft Resolution 2026-65. Commission Discussion. Commissioners asked about the existing septic system. Staff explained that the existing system is non-compliant and that Hennepin County requires a timeline either to connect to municipal sanitary sewer and water where service is available or to replace the system. Because municipal service is available to this site, the applicant proposes connection in coordination with the 2027 CSAH 13 reconstruction project. Staff noted that absent municipal service, an assembly use of this type would require a commercial septic system. Commissioners asked about expected occupancy; staff indicated anticipated attendance of approximately 25 to 40 people, with parking provided for 25 vehicles. Regarding phasing, staff explained that the remaining parking area must be paved within one year of the certificate of occupancy, with the City Council able to grant an extension upon written request, and that interim dust control is required until paving is complete. Staff and the applicant anticipate a second phase involving a new construction building should the assembly use grow in demand, at which point more permanent site improvements would be brought forward. Commissioners also asked about turn lane requirements; staff reported that Hennepin County did not require a turn lane for this change of use, and that access would be evaluated again as development occurs to the south, including the possibility of a consolidated access point. Commission Member Hunt moved, Commission Member Sattersten seconded a motion to recommend approval of the site plan for MN Sikh at 13620 Brockton Lane, subject to the conditions identified in draft Resolution 2026-65. Motion carried 5-0. 6. CORRESPONDENCE AND REPORTS 6.1 Past Planning Commission Items Report Staff reported that the Twin City Hose site plan at 20615 Commerce Boulevard was approved by the City Council on June 9, 2026, and that construction is expected to begin in the coming months. On the community solar gardens text amendment, staff reported that the City Council discussed the item on June 9, 2026 and tabled it for a work session. At the June 23 work session, the Council indicated it is not in favor of amending the code at this time, citing concerns related to aesthetics, loss of agricultural production land, and screening. A resolution denying the request is anticipated on the July 14, 2026 Council agenda. Commissioners asked about the Council’s decision, and staff summarized the concerns raised, including subscriber and membership limitations associated with the community solar garden program. Staff also reported that Dave’s Hot Chicken plans to open on Friday, July 17, 2026, with a ribbon cutting that morning, and that Crisp & Green expects to open in late summer or Page 5 of 62early fall. No action was required. The item was informational. 7. ADJOURN Commission Member Ruppe moved, Commission Member Sattersten seconded a motion to motion to adjourn at 7:30 PM. Motion carried 5-0. Respectfully Submitted, Alec Henderson, City Planner Page 6 of 62 STAFF REPORT Meeting Date: August 3, 2026 ROGERS PLANNING Agenda Item: 4.1 COMMISSION Subject: 2050 Comprehensive Plan Discussion Prepared By: Brett Angell, Community Development Director Overview / Background / Analysis On a decennial basis, cities within the 7-county metropolitan area are required to complete a comprehensive plan. The comprehensive plan is a guiding document which sets the vision for the future development and growth in a community. The comprehensive plan includes sections and chapters on land use, housing, utilities, transportation, natural resources, and parks. The update process is guided by Minnesota State Statute and the Metropolitan Council through the adopted vision, Imagine 2050. In early 2026, the city selected a consultant team comprised of TC2 (primary), SRF, and Landform. Following the selection of the consultant team for the plan, work began on the plan update with the anticipation that the update would be completed by or near the end of 2027. Over the past couple of months, phase I of community engagement has been taking place. These engagement efforts have included an online survey and in-person pop-up events. The intention of these efforts is to aid in determining outstanding challenges and opportunities as well as set the themes and goals for the 2050 plan. Attached to this memorandum includes additional information on the feedback received to date. At the meeting, a presentation will be given providing an overview of early engagement findings and takeaways and leading into a conversation about the vision and guiding principles for the plan. The discussion will also help set the stage for the planned public open house, which is scheduled for August 26th from 5–7 PM at the Rogers Community Room. Staff Recommendation Receive a presentation from the city's consultant and staff and provide feedback and comments on related plan elements. Financial Impact: Not applicable.

Phase 1 Community Engagement Summary Page 8 of 62 x To: Brett Angell, AICP, EDFP, Community Development Director City of Rogers From: Lance Bernard, Director of Planning Transportation Collaborative & Consultants, LLC Date: July 27, 2026 2050 Rogers Comprehensive Plan Update - Subject: Phase 1 Community Engagement Summary SUMMARY Phase 1 engagement focused on understanding how residents, business owners, and other community members feel about Rogers today and how they would like to see the community evolve in the future. The findings from this phase will help inform updates to the Comprehensive Plan's vision, guiding principles, and community priorities, while also identifying key themes that should be addressed throughout the planning process. Engagement activities completed to date include: • Community Survey: The community survey was actively promoted between June 18 and July 21, 2026, and received responses from 251 participants. The survey was designed to gather feedback on community character, growth, housing, transportation, parks and recreation, economic development, and quality of life. This memorandum summarizes the survey findings, with the full survey questions and results attached for reference. • Promotional Materials: Project flyers and promotional materials were distributed throughout the community to raise awareness of the Comprehensive Plan update and encourage survey participation. Materials promoting the project website and survey were placed at a variety of community locations. Information was also displayed on restaurant tables at local establishments, including Sip Happens, Broadway Pizza, The Block, R Social, and Ripple Effect Brewing. Promotional efforts coincided with the Rockin' Rogers event series to increase project visibility and community outreach. • Pop-Up Events: Community pop-up events were held at Sip Happens (9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.) and Broadway Pizza (4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.). These events were promoted through social media and provided opportunities for informal conversations with residents about the future of Rogers. The pop-ups also helped increase awareness of the planning process and encouraged participation in the survey. • Community Open House: A community open house is tentatively scheduled for August 26, 2026. | www.transportationcollaborative.com | Page 9 of 62 COMMUNITY SURVEY & POP-UP FINDINGS While the survey results are not necessarily statistically representative of the entire Rogers population, they provide a meaningful sample of community perspectives and offer general guidance of how community members feel about living, working, and spending time in Rogers. The responses highlight recurring themes, priorities, concerns, and aspirations that can help inform the update of the Rogers Comprehensive Plan. Survey findings are also supplemented with input received during the pop-up events. Overall, respondents expressed a strong appreciation for Rogers' small-town character, safety, family- friendly environment, parks, trails, and quality of life. At the same time, many respondents raised concerns about the impacts of continued growth, particularly traffic congestion, infrastructure capacity, housing development patterns, and the potential loss of community character. These themes emerged consistently throughout the survey and provide valuable insight into the issues residents believe should shape Rogers' future over the next 10 to 20 years What Residents Value Most Responses indicate strong appreciation for the characteristics that have shaped Rogers as a community, including its safety, family-friendly environment, neighborhoods, and overall quality of life. • Quiet neighborhoods (62%) • Sense of safety (51%) • Convenient location and regional access (39%) • Family-friendly environment and schools (37%) • Parks, trails, and open spaces (34%) Residents also reported a strong sense of belonging in the community, with more than 80% indicating they feel welcome in Rogers. Connections with neighbors, social networks, schools, faith communities, and local events contribute to that sense of community. Growth and Development Concerns A common theme has been concerns about the pace of growth. When asked about future concerns, respondents most frequently identify: • Growth happening too fast (56%) • Traffic and congestion (56%) • Rising costs and affordability concerns (26%) Open-ended comments repeatedly referenced concerns that new residential development is occurring faster than roads, schools, utilities, and community services can keep pace. Many respondents expressed a desire to maintain Rogers' small-town feel and rural character while managing future development more carefully. Word cloud responses showed recurring references to "growth," "housing," "traffic," "schools," "infrastructure," and preserving community character. Residents are not uniformly opposed to growth, but many favor a more balanced and managed approach. Nearly half of respondents selected "a quiet suburban community that grows slowly" as their Page 10 of 62 preferred future vision, while another 30% preferred steady growth supported by strong local services over other options that focused on expended jobs and services. This was reaffirmed as part of conversations that occurred during the pop-up events. Transportation is a Priority Transportation issues emerged as a top priority. Key findings include: • Traffic congestion was identified as the biggest daily-life challenge by 55% of respondents, while 72% identified traffic congestion as primary transportation frustration followed by gaps in sidewalks and trails (25%). • 45% said congestion improvements would be the single most important transportation investment. • Transportation and infrastructure were the highest-rated priority for city leaders over the next 10 to 20 years (56%). • Trails and paths were the highest-rated priority for parks and recreation investments (71%). This was reaffirmed with some of the conventions at pop-up events, that focused on safer pedestrian/bicycle connections throughout the community. Parks, Trails, and Recreation Remain Important Residents place a high value on outdoor recreation and public spaces. • More than 60% use parks, trails, or public spaces weekly or daily. • Trails and walking paths were the most requested future amenity need (71%). • Natural areas, recreation facilities, and parks also ranked highly. • Conversations at pop-up events suggested more youth programming is needed. The results suggest strong support for continuing to expand trail connectivity, preserve open space, and invest in recreational amenities as the city grows. Housing Perspectives are Different Survey results indicate that housing is not viewed as an urgent challenge by most respondents, although opinions vary. • Nearly half found housing somewhat easy or very easy to obtain. • The largest response regarding future housing needs was "No additional housing needed" (50%). • For those who support additional housing, respondents more often favor larger family homes (25%), starter homes (21%), and senior housing (9%) rather than apartments or higher-density housing types (3%). Page 11 of 62 Comments frequently raised concerns about housing density, school capacity, and maintaining neighborhood character. These findings suggest that future housing discussions may need to carefully balance growth needs with residents' desire to preserve existing community character. It is important to note that discussions with Rogers Police and Fire staff identified a need for additional affordable and workforce housing options to help attract and retain full-time employees. Staff indicated that housing affordability has become an increasing challenge for recruitment and retention, particularly for employees seeking to live within or near the community they serve. Another theme that emerged from the pop-up conversations was a desire for stronger neighborhood identity and more variety in housing design. Participants expressed concern about large areas of similar-looking homes and neighborhoods. Many preferred a mix of housing styles, architectural designs, and neighborhood features that help different areas of Rogers develop their own character and create a stronger sense of place. Business and Economic Development Respondents generally believe Rogers needs more business and employment opportunities (43%), particularly those that improve local quality of life. The most requested additions were: • Restaurants and entertainment options (62%) • Retail and everyday services (47%) • Small local businesses (44%) Many comments suggested that residents would like more destinations within Rogers, so they do not have to travel to neighboring communities for dining, shopping, recreation, and services. Economic development is generally supported when it enhances community amenities and maintains local character. Pop-up conversations highlighted the importance of supporting local businesses and reinforced the community's appreciation for the City's efforts to foster locally owned establishments. Participants frequently noted that locally owned businesses contribute to Rogers' unique character and sense of community and expressed a desire for the City to continue supporting and attracting small businesses as part of its long-term economic development strategy. Sustainability and Future Vision When asked what a healthy and sustainable future means, respondents emphasized practical community priorities: • Well-maintained infrastructure (58%) • Responsible growth (53%) • Clean air and water (50%) • Access to nature and open space (38%) Page 12 of 62 Compared to other priorities, energy efficiency and environmental initiatives received less emphasis than growth management, infrastructure investment, and quality-of-life concerns. Respondents appear to define sustainability primarily through responsible development, preservation of natural resources, and ensuring infrastructure keeps pace with growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN To date, community engagement findings suggest several common themes that should inform the Rogers Comprehensive Plan update: • Manage growth thoroughly and strategically. Community members acknowledge ongoing growth and want it guided thoughtfully to ensure it supports infrastructure, maintains a high quality of life, and reinforces Rogers’ unique identity and character. • Address traffic and transportation challenges. Congestion, roadway capacity, intersection safety, and trail connectivity are the community's highest priorities. • Preserve and enhance community character. Residents strongly value Rogers' safety, quiet neighborhoods, open spaces, and small-town identity. More can be done to create distinct and unique neighborhoods (different housing styles and looks) • Expand parks, trails, and recreation opportunities. Trail connectivity and outdoor amenities are among the most widely supported investments. • Support business growth. Additional restaurants, retail, entertainment, and local businesses are desired community amenities. Participants appreciate that businesses are locally owned. • Diverse Housing Options: Housing affordability is a workforce issue identified by police and fire staff, but residents generally did not rank housing as a top concern and many expressed concerns about housing density. Page 13 of 62 STAFF REPORT Meeting Date: August 3, 2026 ROGERS PLANNING Agenda Item: 5.1 COMMISSION Subject: Consider Amendments to Chapter 125 and Chapter 10 – Keeping of Animals, Including Backyard Chickens Prepared By: Zachary Gatton, Community Development Intern Overview / Background / Analysis City Staff is proposing amendments to Chapter 125 and an amendment to Chapter 10 of the City of Rogers City Code to allow residents on smaller residential lots to keep backyard chickens and authorize the keeping of chickens as an approved accessory use. The City has received multiple requests from residents interested in keeping chickens on smaller residential lots. In 2025, Staff posted a resident survey to understand community opinions. The survey received 556 responses. The results of the survey found that 70% of respondents supported allowing backyard chickens. A similar percent supported implementing a minimum lot size requirement, with 0.20 acres being the most popular minimum lot size. Residents generally did not support keeping of other birds such as ducks or pigeons on small lots. In addition to the survey, staff researched cities in the region and presented this information to City Council during the June 23rd work session. Following the session, Council directed staff to draft an ordinance that would allow residents to keep backyard chickens. Summary of Proposed Changes General Administrative Text Changes – Sec. 10-21, Sec. 125-84,125-86,125-90, 125-95 125-102, Article IV Table 4. The major impact of this amendment would be the allowance of backyard chickens. To ensure City Code stayed consistent and easy to follow, various text amendments were necessary. These changes are largely administrative in nature and include the following: • Amending Sec. 10-21 to refer to the newly created Sec. 125-95 Keeping of Animals • Renumbering tables to maintain sequential order after relocating tables from 125-84. • Repealing and reserving 125-84 (c) and (d) and relocating them into 125-95. • Updating Article IV Table 4. to include Backyard Chickens as an accessory use Page 44 of 62 in all districts in the city. This was done because the backyard chicken use is tied to single family homes rather than specific districts. Staff feel this is the best way to handle any uncommon situations and future zoning district changes. The use remains limited to single-family detached dwellings under Sec. 125-95(f)(1); listing it in Table 4 does not extend chicken keeping to attached or multifamily dwellings, etc. • Updating language in 125-95(e) to exclude backyard chickens as a livestock operation. • Updating definitions in 125-102 to ensure clarity of terms used in 125-95 regarding backyard chickens. This includes an amendment to the definition of “Feedlot” to exclude backyard chicken operations as a feedlot. • Transition section: A section to clarify future legality for residents who are already legally keeping chickens and to clarify that residents who are currently illegally keeping chickens will be given 90 days from the effective date of this ordinance to come into compliance under new ordinance. Livestock and Feedlot Changes – Sec. 125-95(e), Table 26 • Animal unit equivalents in Table 26 are updated: one chicken increases from 0.01 to 0.02 animal units and one goose or duck from 0.02 to 0.04. This reduces the maximum permitted flock size on AG and R1 parcels regulated by animal units. Lawful operations exceeding the new equivalents on the effective date may continue as nonconforming uses under the transition section of the ordinance. • A new feedlot setback of 100 feet from a dwelling on an adjacent property is added, and the existing setbacks are clarified to apply to feedlots only, not pastures. • A new feedlot compliance provisions requires conformance with Minnesota Rules Chapter 7020 and MPCA registration requirements and prohibits new feedlots in shoreland areas (consistent with shoreland rules). Keeping Backyard Chickens Sec. 125-95(f) Number of Chickens Allowed and Minimum Lot Size: Based on other cities in the region, staff recommend regulating the number of chickens allowed based on lot size. The smallest lots will be allowed to keep 4 hens and that scales to larger lots being able to keep 25 hens or, for parcels in the AG and R1 districts, the number of poultry permitted as livestock under Sec. 125-95(e). Regarding minimum lot size, staff are currently recommending 0.20-acre minimum lot size, and this is based on results of the 2025 survey and early directions from City Council. The smallest single family detached lots in the city are 0.15 acres. Setting the minimum at 0.20 acres will exclude roughly 300 single family homes from being able to keep chickens. Staff do not recommend setting the minimum lot size more than 0.20 acres, such as 0.25 acres, as that would exclude nearly 730 single family detached Page 45 of 62homes, roughly 17% of all single-family detached homes in the city. Lot Size (Acres) # Of Chickens Allowed Less than 0.20 Chickens not allowed 0.20 to less than 0.30 4 0.30 to less than 0.50 6 0.50 to less than 1 10 1 to less than 2 15 2 to less than 3 25 Lots of 3 acres or more: 25 hens; or, for parcels in the AG and R1 districts, the number of poultry permitted as livestock under Sec. 125-95(e). Chicken Coops and Runs. To ensure health of birds, and prevent nuisance conditions, staff have drafted specific language and regulations regarding the coops that the chickens will be housed in, and the run area that they will be confined in. • Coops must be constructed with durable materials and must be winterized to protect the chickens. Size requirements to prevent overcrowding of the birds are also included. • Run areas must be enclosed on all sides, including from above with a roof or mesh, or hardware cloth to prevent predators and wild birds from entering, as well as confining the chickens so they cannot run loose. • The coop is subject to the maximum accessory structure heights of Sec. 125- 84(a). A coop with a footprint of 200 sq. ft or less does not require a building permit and does not count toward the number of permitted accessory structures; a larger coop must meet the accessory structure and building permit requirements of Sec. 125-84(a) and Chapter 105. A run covered only by mesh or netting is treated as a fence for those purposes, while a solid-roofed run counts as part of the coop footprint. Prevention of Nuisance Conditions to prevent chickens from becoming a nuisance to other residents, the ordinance includes the following: • Only hens are allowed. Roosters are prohibited unless kept as livestock in the AG and R1 districts under Sec. 125-95(e). • Chicken coops and run areas must be in the rear yard only. • Residents must keep chickens confined in the run or coop area from sunset to sunrise. During the day, chickens may be confined in a fully fenced rear yard. • Chicken coops and run areas must be set back 10’ from any property line and 30’ from any neighboring residential structure. The 30’ rule will likely make it impossible to legally locate coops and runs for a very small number of Page 46 of 62 properties. Staff are also considering coops and runs to be setback 20’ from any neighboring residential structure and is looking for Planning Commission feedback on that item. • Coops and runs may not be located in drainage and utility easements, regulated wetlands or wetland buffers, or shore or bluff impact zones. • Chicken coops and run areas must be screened from view of adjacent properties if within 30’ of side or rear lot lines. • Coops and run areas must be kept sanitary and clean to prevent smells. • Any feces, discarded feed, and bedding must be regularly collected and stored in a leakproof container until it can be disposed of. • All feed for chickens must be kept in a secure, rodent-proof container. • Slaughter of chickens is not allowed on lots less than 1.0 acre. On larger lots, slaughter may not occur outdoors within view of public right-of-way or adjacent property. • This ordinance does not allow the breeding of chickens for commercial purposes. Egg sales must comply with City code and Minnesota Department of Agriculture requirements. If nuisance conditions occur, a resident may be prohibited from keeping chickens. This ordinance does not override private covenants or homeowners association rules that prohibit or further restrict chickens. Backyard Chickens Permit or License: Per council’s request, the ordinance that staff has drafted will not require a permitting or licensing process for residents. Where screening is required under Sec. 125-95(f)(7), it may be met with a 6-foot privacy fence, which does not require a fence permit under Sec. 125-84(f) as amended by Ord. 2026-04, or with landscaping of equivalent opacity. • Staff research into permits and licensing found that roughly half of cities examined that allow chickens have a permit process. • Cities that do not have a permit process reported chickens running loose as the most common issue. • Staff do not feel that a permit process would substantially reduce the likelihood of chickens running loose and concurs with Council on not recommending a permit or licenses process at this time. Compliance will be addressed on a complaint basis through the City’s existing code enforcement process. Staff Recommendation This is a public hearing. Notice of the hearing was published in the paper. Staff recommend the Planning Commission hold the public hearing, discuss the proposed amendments, and recommend approval of the ordinance to City Council. The 0.20-acre minimum lot size and required setbacks for coops and runs from neighboring Page 47 of 62residential structures are the principal policy decisions before the Commission. Staff recommend 0.20 acres based on the 2025 survey and Council directions; a 0.15-acre minimum, which would extend eligibility to roughly 300 additional single-family lots, remains available as an alternative recommendation. Staff are recommending 30’ setbacks from neighboring residences to offer greater separation, but 20’ setbacks would ensure nearly all homes would be able to legally locate a coop and run area and is a possible alternative recommendation. Possible motion: Motion to recommend approval of Ordinance 2026-14, amending Chapter 125 of the City Code to establish Sec. 125-95 and to amend Sec. 10-21, Sec. 125-84, 125-86, 125-90, 125-102, and Article IV, Table 4.

Regularly collect manure and discarded feed and store it in a leak-proof container until it can be disposed of. . Keep all feed secured in a container to prevent attracting other animals. . Never let your chickens run onto a neighbor’s property, street, lake or public pond. Keep them secured on your property. . Put your chickens away in their coop from sundown to sunrise. This reduces noise and keeps your chickens safe from predators overnight. Things to Remember: . Roosters are not allowed except as livestock in the AG or R1 districts. Keep this in mind when buying chicks, as they grow up, you will need to rehome any roosters not initially identified. . The slaughter of chickens is not allowed on lots less than 1 acre and must not be conducted outdoors within view of public right of way or adjacent properties. . The sale of eggs must comply with city code and Minnesota Department of Agriculture requirements. .
