Notice: Pelican Point Environmental Assessment Worksheet
The Pelican Point (formerly Hansen’s Harbor) Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) is available via this link:
The Florence Township Planning Commission comments as well as Pelican Point's response is available in the below referenced folder.
On Oct 6, 2026, the Goodhue County Board deemed the EAW "complete" and that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was not warranted. The board also approved a county Conditional Use Permit (CUP) which affirms that Pelican Point is required to also obtain a CUP approval from Florence Township. This review and consideration process is now underway with the Florence Township Planning Commission.
Information regarding Pelican Point development may be found in the Select Permit/Zoning Application Staff Reports folder below.
