An ordinance (BL2024-648) was passed to authorize specific building material restrictions and requirements for a proposed Specific Plan Zoning property (BL2024-647) located at 1500 3rd Avenue North. This 1.01-acre site, currently zoned IR, is intended for a mixed-use development. The ordinance mandates that building facades be constructed from materials such as brick, brick veneer, stone, cast stone, cementitious siding, glass, or metal panel, unless otherwise approved through detailed building elevations included with the preliminary Specific Plan. The Metropolitan Council passed this on its third reading.
