Salvation Army Family Store and Warehouse
Description
A sketch-plan pitch to remodel an 18,000-square-foot vacant industrial building into a Salvation Army thrift store with a heated drive-through donation bay — a use not allowed in any Edina zoning district.
Impact summary
Would fill a long-vacant building with a community-serving thrift operation, but forces the city to decide whether to bend its zoning rules for one parcel or fix the rules more broadly.

Planning Commission - Jan 14, 2026
Sketch plan to remodel a vacant building into an 18,000-square-foot thrift store with a 9,000-square-foot warehouse and drive-through donations. Blocked by the 2,500-square-foot secondhand store limit and industrial zoning; would need rezoning, a code amendment, and a comp plan amendment.
