An ordinance (BL2025-991) was proposed to authorize specific building material restrictions and requirements for a previously proposed Specific Plan (BL2025-990) at 800 North 5th Street. This 0.19-acre property is located at the northwest corner of Arrington Street and North 5th Street and is intended to permit three multi-family residential units. The ordinance specifically mandates that building facades be constructed of brick, brick veneer, stone, cast stone, cementitious siding, and glass, or substantially similar materials, unless otherwise approved with detailed building elevations in the preliminary Specific Plan. The Planning Commission approved the underlying Specific Plan (BL2025-990) with conditions on 6/26/2025. This ordinance (BL2025-991) passed on first reading by the Metropolitan Council on August 5, 2025. The ordinance is scheduled for a public hearing and further action on September 2, 2025. It will take effect immediately upon passage and publication.
