Next Step in the New Design Guidelines for the St. Anthony Falls Historic District

A number of concerns and suggestions were voiced at the April 6 'Development of New Design Guidelines for the St. Anthony Falls Historic District' public meeting held at the Mill City Museum.

Below, Brian Schaffer, Senior City Planner for the City of Minneapolis Community Planning & Economic Development (CPED), conducted the meeting.

Historic District Design Guidelines are a local policy and regulatory tool used in decision-making to evaluate alterations and new development within the historic district.  The current Design Guidelines for the district were adopted by the Minneapolis Heritage Preservation Commission in 1980.  In the three decades since the existing guidelines were adopted, the district has seen dramatic change.  Access to and interaction with the falls and the river has evolved, infrastructure has been added, project plans have been developed and realized, and the understanding and knowledge of the historic resources in the district have increased.

Brian compiled the feedback given during the meeting, which he'll present at the April 25 Public Workshop (location TBD).   During the April 25 meeting, attendees will define and discuss topics and issues that the new Guidelines should address.   Anyone who would like to voice their opinions regarding development of the St. Anthony Falls Historic District is encouraged to attend the April 25 Workshop.

An added bonus (but unrelated) to attending the April 6 meeting was this unique view from the Mill City Museum's 6th Floor Conference Room:
