Eden Prairie Council Approves Prairie Bluff Commons Development with Townhomes and Single-Family Lots
The Eden Prairie City Council reviewed a proposal for the Prairie Bluff Commons development, which includes 90 owner-occupied townhomes and 16 single-family lots. The project involves demolishing a vacant office building (C.H. Robinson) and redeveloping the site. The proposal included a comprehensive plan amendment, planned unit development concept review, rezoning, and waivers for lot sizes and setbacks. The Planning Commission had recommended approval. A resident raised concerns about traffic impact on Leatris Lane. Staff presented a traffic study indicating the development would generate fewer vehicle trips than the previous office building proposal and that the intersections would operate at a high level of service. The council approved the comprehensive plan amendment, concept plan review, rezoning, preliminary plat, and findings of fact for park dedication fees, and directed staff to prepare a development agreement.

Eden Prairie Proposes New Zoning Regulations for Data Centers to Address Impacts and Ensure Sustainability
The Eden Prairie City Council conducted a first reading of an ordinance to add new language regulating data centers in the city's zoning code. Currently, the code does not define or regulate data centers. The proposed amendment aims to be proactive in addressing potential impacts, establishing appropriate locations, integrating with the city's climate action plan, and mitigating noise, water usage, and environmental concerns. The ordinance defines a data center as a facility whose primary function is the storage and management of digital data. It designates the i-General zoning district as the appropriate location and sets performance standards, including a 700-foot buffer from residential uses, mandatory connection to city water (with a closed-loop system requirement), and sustainability measures like on-site solar and Tier 4 generators. A resident expressed general opposition to data centers but had no specific comments on the ordinance. The council approved the first reading of the ordinance.
Eden Prairie Celebrates Citizens Academy Graduates, Highlighting Community Engagement and City Operations Understanding
The Eden Prairie City Council celebrated the graduation of participants from the Citizens Academy program. The program, which has been running for approximately eight years, aims to educate residents about city government and operations. Approximately 200 people have graduated over the years, with a waitlist for participation. The six-week program covers various city departments and includes mock council meetings. Graduates shared positive feedback, highlighting their increased appreciation for the city's operations and employees, with some mentioning unique experiences like driving a snowplow. The council members presented diplomas to the graduates. [cite: 13-18, 21-24, 31-33, 36-41, 54-66, 72-279]
