Interested in making a big impact on sustainable land use policy in St. Paul? Apply to join the St. Paul Planning Commission! The City is currently accepting applications for prospective Commissioners to fill five vacancies: if you live in Ward 2, 4, 5, or 6, consider applying!

St. Paul’s planning staff are proposing to eliminate petition requirements for housing developers to apply for permits from the city. These petition requirements make it more difficult to develop housing because they enable nearby neighbors to effectively block projects. Please join us in publicly voicing your support of these proposed changes to the Planning Commission!
