A requested Northeast Rochester zoning change for a planned 66-apartment complex was approved Monday.
The Rochester City Council split 5-2 to approve a change that would allow the construction of the apartment complex on a vacant 2.5-acre property that sits behind the Kwik Trip at the intersection of East Circle Drive and 26th Street Northeast, as well as north of an existing strip mall.

A requested Northeast Rochester zoning change needed for a proposed 66-unit apartment complex was put on hold Monday.
The Rochester City Council unanimously opted to delay a decision until April 19, following a public hearing and discussion that took nearly two hours.
“I think it is the council getting our act together to have a motion that we have time to look at,” said council member Patrick Keane, adding that he doesn’t anticipate new information will be available but council members will have a better grasp of the issues.
Zone change for Rochester affordable housing project gets nod, despite neighborhood concerns
Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval on proposed change to make way for 66-unit complex, which still requires Rochester City Council approval. 9:05 pm, Mar. 10, 2021 ×
A zoning change to make way for a proposed 66-unit apartment complex received a recommendation from Rochester’s Planning and Zoning Commission on Wednesday, despite opposition from neighbors.
“People are going to end up having cars driving in and out 24 hours a day,” said Kevin Lucier, a neighbor of the proposed project for north of 26th Street Northeast, near East Circle Drive.
He said the existing commercial designation limits business hours, which includes the Kwik Trip convenience store next to the site, adding that other development with less traffic would be a better fit.
