Saint Paul file RES 26-1727, before the Saint Paul City Council. Passed as of 2026-10-14.
Latest action: Passed
80 Cottage Avenue project doesn't need full green standards The SKD Auto development at 80 Cottage Avenue can move forward without meeting all of the city's Sustainable Building Ordinance rules, lowering construction costs and timelines for this specific project.
One-time waiver doesn't change city sustainability rules This waiver applies only to this one property and does not weaken the green building ordinance for future projects, which must still follow the standard requirements.
This project will have lower environmental standards than required The development will skip some energy efficiency, water conservation, or materials standards that other new buildings in St. Paul must meet, potentially using more resources than a fully compliant project would.
