The City of St. Louis Park is gearing up for the second phase of its Zoning Code Update, following the adoption of the residential zoning district changes earlier this year. As officials pivot to examining other areas of the local ordinance, including business zones, parks, and administrative procedures, they are calling on the community to weigh in.
Phase 2 will see an extensive review of some key aspects of the city's zoning laws, expanding the scope of revisions beyond the residential framework addressed in the initial phase. The revision covers the business districts as well as park district, with a focus also on performance standards and the processes by which zoning applications are reviewed and administered. Public engagement is pegged to begin in spring, extending into the autumn months.
As part of the outreach initiative, the city has launched a project webpage, offering residents a comprehensive hub for information related to the zoning updates. The webpage includes a survey specifically about the business districts, which city officials emphasize as a critical opportunity for public input. "Your input is needed and appreciated," reads the page, encouraging active participation from the citizenry.
Residents with questions or who wish to stay informed on the progress of the update are directed to contact Gary Morrison, the zoning administrator. Morrison can be reached at [email protected] for inquiries or further information regarding the Zoning Code Update. Additionally, those interested in the initiative can sign up on the project webpage for emailed updates that are specific to this project.
