What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The St. Paul City Council voted 7-0 to deny an appeal concerning The Celia, an 87-unit luxury apartment building planned for Highland Parkway and Mississippi River Boulevard in St. Paul. City staff noted that the building’s site plan complied with zoning rules in effect a year ago when Paster Properties submitted the proposal. However, new zoning rules for the Mississippi River Corridor, which took effect in January, set a height limit of 35 feet.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The decision highlights the impact of updated zoning regulations on high-density residential construction. The Celia project, which was planned to be 50 feet tall, is subject to the new 35-foot height limit. This regulatory change affects how developers can plan and build luxury housing in the area.
