Approved Developments
Project Summary
General Mills originally developed 9000 Plymouth Ave in 1960 as a food research facility. The applicant proposed construction of Wing 18, a two-story addition to the primary building on the JFB campus. The Wing 18 addition will include two occupied floors and a fan loft to support pilot plant technical services, storage, and associated mechanical and electrical systems. The addition will be used as research and development space with associated supportive uses in a similar manner as the rest of the JFB campus. A below-grade utility tunnel will connect Wing 18 to the existing chiller plant, enhancing overall operational efficiency.
The proposed changes required a Major Amendment to the original Planned Unit Development, PUD No. 83. The Major PUD Amendment was brought before the Planning Commission June 23, 2025. The Commission unanimously recommended approval to the City Council and the amendment was presented at the July 15, 2025, City Council meeting, where it received final approval.
