Small Area Plans

Small Area Plans

Small area plans contain specific strategies that aim to preserve or improve designated areas within South St. Paul. These plans may address land use, zoning, transportation, economic development, and housing. The City values community engagement and collaborates with residents, businesses, and developers to chart a clear and practical path forward.

Concord/Grand Avenue Gateway Streetscape and Redevelopment Plan

The “Grand Avenue Gateway” connects the City’s riverfront business park and the residential neighborhoods on the bluff. The area is now emerging as a hub for mixed-use development. The City enhanced the area in 2024 through a full reconstruction of Concord Exchange and a new streetscape design.

Hardman Triangle Redevelopment Plan

Located at Grand Avenue and Concord Street, the Hardman Triangle is a 22-acre redevelopment priority. Positioned between the Mississippi River and residential neighborhoods, the site is key to future city growth and revitalization.

Southview Hill

Southview Boulevard is a walkable corridor that serves historic residential neighborhoods. The Southview Hill Plan, alongside the 2018 Street Reconstruction Project, strengthens the corridor’s vitality as South St. Paul’s economy grows and diversifies.

North Concord Corridor Vision

Since 2004, Concord Street North has been envisioned as a future mixed-use redevelopment area. Its 2021 reconstruction initiated planning for a formal vision, culminating in the creation of the MMM—Mixed Markets and Makers zoning district with four implementation subdistricts.
