City Council Study Session/EDA/Meeting

The St. Louis Park City Council meets, Monday, Nov. 7, at 5:30 p.m. for a study session to discuss managing change in residential neighborhoods, which continues the housing and neighborhood-oriented development system discussion. The first half of the Nov. 7 study session will conclude at 6:20 p.m. when the economic development authority meeting starts, followed by the regular city council meeting at 6:30 p.m. Immediately following the regular meeting, the study session will resume for the second half of the discussion about managing change in residential neighborhoods.

The housing and neighborhood-oriented development system discussion included topics at the Oct. 17 and 24 study sessions. Subsequent topics include:

  • Nov. 14 – Inclusionary housing policy
  • Nov. 28 – Limiting number of single-family rentals per block

About the systems discussion pilot project

In 2022, the city council began piloting an effort to group study session topics (called “systems discussions”) according to the city’s five strategic priorities. The project started with community engagement, environmental stewardship and infrastructure discussions. Race equity and inclusion will conclude the cycle of systems discussions for 2022, with the first discussion set for Dec. 12.
