SUMMIT AVENUE MORATORIUM
An interim ordinance restricting certain forms of remodeling
and development along Sumnit Avenue pending completion of
studies of possible amendments to the City' s Comprehensive
Plan and zoning regulations, adopted pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 462.355, Subd.4.
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL DOES ORDAIN:
Section 1. Pursuant to Council Resolution No. 85-396 of March 19, 1985, the
Saint Paul Planning Commission is preparing a plan for Sumnit Avenue from the
Cathedral to the Mississippi River which will include guidelines for land use •
and transportation, historic preservation, and urban design. The Planning
Commission organized a Sumnit Avenue Planning Committee which has been meeting
twice a month since May. The new plan is expected to contain zoning text and
zoning policy recommendations designed to protect the neighborhood
environments and historic architecture along Surr�nit Avenue.
Section 2. This ordinance recognizes that the east end of Summit Avenue from
Selby Avenue to Dale Street is within the Historic Hill District. Exterior
changes in property within the Historic Hill District are subject to design
review by the Heritage Preservation Corrrnission. This detailed level of
regulatory control is the basis for distinctions between property located east
of Dale and property located west of Dale.

MAYOR
October 24, 1985
Council President Tedesco and
Members of the City Council

St. Paul , Minnesota 55102
Dear President Tedesco and Council Members:
The Surrani t Avenue P1 anni ng' Corr�ni ttee has requested that a moratori um be pl aced
on certain types of development activities along Summit Avenue while the
corrgnittee and Planning Commission finalize their recommendations for City
review and implementation. The corr�nittee is concerned that some undesirable
developments may slip through before new regulations become effective (just as
Milton Square and 0'Gara's Garage did without meeting the new commercial
parking requirements that came into effect last February). The comnittee's
interest in a moratorium was sparked at the end of July when a house was moved
onto Sumnit Avenue at Griggs Street with only a 13-foot sideyard as its
setback from Surr�nit Avenue.
The proposed moratorium is detailed so that it can block undesirable
developments while permitting most building projects, which are desirable, to
proceed. A chart attached to the moratorium surranarizes which development
activities are delayed by the language of the moratorium and which are not.
Projects that are already going through City review processes, such as the
executive retreat house at 266 Summit and the proposed William Mitchell
parking lot, are not delayed by the moratorium as drafted. The moratorium is
proposed to last for five months.
The Planning Division staff informs me that the new Surr�nit Avenue Plan cannot
be completed by the November 1 target date contained in the Council
Resolution, primarily because of unforeseen staff changes that left the
Planning Division spread thin. The staff now expects the plan to reach the
City Council by next February 15.
The proposed moratorium is attached. If you have any questions, please call
Peggy Reichert (phone: -4509) or Larry Soderholm (-7494, ext. 325).
Very truly yours,
����
