The Dayton's Bluff Heritage Preservation District was created by the City Council in 1992 and includes the area roughly bounded by Mounds Boulevard on the south and west; Maple, Arcade and Hope streets on the east; Beech, Greenbrier, North streets and Bates Avenue on the north.

P12. Continue to support the programs and activities of the Heritage Preservation Commission as they affect the Dayton's Bluff Heritage Preservation District.

P13. Study the potential of establishing a conservation district(s) in District 4 outside the boundaries of the Dayton's Bluff Heritage Preservation District; criteria for said conservation districts shall be consistent with those established pursuant to policies in the Historic Preservation chapter of the adopted Comprehensive Plan.

H1. District 4 requests that higher density residential developments be designed consistent with the City's residential design standards and with parking strategies that encourage residents to use transit, including, but not limited to, reduction in the numbers of on-site parking spaces and creation of a parking management plan that prevents spillover parking in the neighborhoods and assists residents in using transit where adequate service is available. Public Works will work with the district council and the developer on issues related to on-street parking for the project and street design.

Neighborhood improvement and maintenance strategy

H2. Provide input from City code enforcement officials that District 4 can use to establish programs, such as the Good Neighbor Program, to address residential neighborhood problems.

H3. Identify problem properties and, in collaboration with District 4 and applicable neighborhood block clubs, develop strategies for addressing issues associated with them.

H4. Provide District 4 with information about Invest Saint Paul, the City's neighborhood improvement and maintenance strategy. This includes information about rehabilitation of vacant buildings and construction of new buildings on vacant sites, as well as the criteria used to determine whether vacant buildings should be rehabilitated or demolished. Seek input from District 4, as appropriate.

H5. Continue to provide District 4 with information about pending actions against vacant properties under the City's nuisance ordinance so that the district council may comment regarding proposed actions for the property.

H6. The District Council will work with developers to identify possible sites within the neighborhood to which a structure could be moved if the structure cannot be reused or cannot be incorporated into a proposed development. If demolition or rehabilitation of a structure is unavoidable, the District Council encourages “deconstruction” techniques to be used to salvage whatever materials possible for reuse.

H7. Prepare a study of residential districts within District 4 to determine if, and where, duplex districts should be rezoned to single family districts. Based on the conclusions of the study, work to rezone areas that are currently zoned for duplexes so that these housing units may be returned to their original use.
