From the meeting

At the September 8, 2026 Planning Commission meeting, staff reviewed the site plan, conditional use permit, and variance for the Big Lake Public Safety Facility on Lot 1, Block 1, Smith Addition. The project was described as a 51,180 square foot public safety facility that will house the Big Lake City Hall, Police Department, City Council Chambers, and administrative offices. Jay Vogel of Bradbury Stamm Construction and Evan Larson of GLTArchitects presented the site plan.

The commission recommended approval, with updated design details such as the trash enclosure location still being incorporated.
