Saint Paul file RES 26-1397, before the Saint Paul City Council. Passed as of 2026-08-26.
Latest action: Passed
Stronger Sober House cannot build at 519 Farrington Street The organization loses its bid to convert the property into an 11-bed supportive housing facility for people in recovery.
Reduces available sober housing options in Saint Paul The denial removes one potential site for recovery housing and signals that zoning barriers remain difficult to overcome for similar projects.
Neighbors' zoning concerns outweigh housing supply needs The Board of Zoning Appeals sided with existing zoning rules rather than granting a variance, meaning the shortage of affordable recovery housing in that neighborhood persists.
