Burnsville HOC Framework Update

The Burnsville Heart of the City design framework update seeks to capitalize on a renaissance of new development in the area through incorporating best practices in mobility planning, stormwater management, placemaking and public space design. Updating the HOC Design Framework provided an opportunity to reengage with community stakeholders, evaluate existing conditions and policies in the district, and update the vision, policies, and guidelines to better reflect community values and support goals of the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The resulting recommendations and design guidelines are intended be used to establish minimum expectations that the City’s staff, commissions, and elected officials can use to inform decisions on the approval of public space improvements in the Heart of the City District.
