- Meeting Date:

Agenda Item:
Resolution approving an amended Conditional Use Permit to allow the installation of one, 2,000-gallon HVO/diesel above-ground tank in the P-I, Planned Industrial District (304 Lundin Boulevard); by request of Rolls-Royce Solutions America, Inc.
Recommendation/Action(s):
Adoption of the attached resolution. At the August 26, 2026, meeting, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the amended conditional use permit.
Summary:
Rolls-Royce is requesting review of an amendment to the existing Conditional Use Permit. On October 14, 2025, the City Council approved the installation of an above-ground 1,000-gallon HVO/Diesel tank. The applicant has made a modification to the plans that increases the size of the tank to 2,000-gallon HVO/Diesel. All other previously approved site improvements and conditions of the Conditional Use Permit will remain unchanged.
Rolls-Royce Solutions America, Inc. plans to use the building for the assembly of low-power range (LPR) engine-generator sets. Three above-ground storage tanks are proposed for the site. An existing 1,000-pound liquid propane tank will remain in place. A 200-gallon diesel fuel tank will be relocated to the Southwest corner of the site near the new access drive, and a new 2,000-gallon split diesel/HVO tank with pump will be installed north of the building. The applicant has indicated that all tanks will be double-walled, self-contained units, thereby meeting Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and City requirements.
Notification of installation must be submitted to the MPCA. The applicant has also acknowledged that fire permits and any additional required permits will be obtained. If onsite fueling of vehicles occurs, the transfer area must comply with MPCA standards.
