Administrative preservation reviews, generally.
Minneapolis Code of Ordinances § 599.1020
in effect599.1020. - Administrative preservation reviews, generally.
(a) Purpose. Certain preservation decisions may be made, and preservation permits issued, following a review that does not involve a formal application form or process. However, based on the degree of complexity or city staff time involved in the review of certain uses, buildings, or structures, the planning director may develop administrative review processes and applications that lead to decisions about compliance with the heritage preservation ordinance and comprehensive plan. The heritage preservation ordinance does not list every such scope of work which may require an administrative application. Forms for preservation applications are provided by the planning director. Where a fee is charged, such fee is listed in Table 599-1, Fees.
(b) Procedures and decision-makers. Following submittal of information required by this ordinance and any applicable application forms, the planning director shall make decisions on administrative reviews and applications, subject to appeal to the heritage preservation commission as specified in section 599.400.
(c) Required findings or criteria. Unless specific findings or criteria are listed elsewhere in the heritage preservation ordinance or in the application form provided by the planning director, administrative reviews include a review for compliance with the applicable provisions of the heritage preservation ordinance and any applicable design guidelines or recommendations within the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation.
