DEVELOPMENT LAND, BENSON, MN
"The City of Parks" as Benson is known, is the county seat & home to some of Swift County's largest employers.
Options available from a zoning standpoint:
-remain in the county with urban development zoning;
-annex into the City for housing development or light industrial use.
With the growth in the City of Benson & Swift County's strategic plan for GROWTH, either option above would work well. The County's Urban Development zoning would allow farm usage; home occupations; car dealerships...
Conditional uses within the County's Urban Development district include non-farm dwellings; motels; truck rest-stops; gas stations; restaurants; commercial & industrial buildings; wind turbines; adult-use businesses; manufactured home parks.
Should you, as a buyer and developer, desire city utilities, annexation into the City of Benson is an option. The nearest utilities run on Montana Ave and Oregon Ave, located at the NW'ly corner of the subject parcel.
City utilities would support low and medium-density residential development (in the R-1 and R-2 districts) or light industrial use in the B-2 General Business District.
