The Saint Paul City Council is inviting the public to have their say on the future of East Grand Avenue. A hearing will take place to discuss proposed amendments to the Zoning Code, specifically Section 67.600. These amendments are part of a larger Zoning Study designed to make the area more pedestrian-friendly and ensure new developments are in harmony with the existing surroundings. Notably, the changes aim to achieve these goals without imposing new limitations on building height and mass.
Scheduled for Wednesday, July 10, the hearing will start at 3:30 p.m. and will take place at the City Council Chambers, Room 300, located at 15 West Kellogg Boulevard in Saint Paul. Residents and stakeholders who wish to express their comments on the Zoning Study will have an opportunity to present in-person testimony. Further participation options are expected to be detailed in the meeting's agenda, which will be forthcoming on the city's legislative calendar website.
Written comments are also being accepted ahead of the public hearing. These should be addressed to the Office of the City Council at 310 City Hall, 15 Kellogg Boulevard West, Saint Paul, MN 55102, or via email at [email protected]. For those looking to dive into the specifics of the proposed amendments, the documents are available for review at this link.
Questions about the proposal can be directed to City Planner Spencer Miller-Johnson, via email at [email protected] or by calling 651-266-6093. The upcoming public hearing represents a pivotal moment for the residents of Saint Paul, as the amendments have the potential to shape the East Grand Avenue area for generations to come.
