About the Commission
What we do
The Minneapolis Heritage Preservation Commission generally meets twice a month and is charged with hearing and deciding applications for preservation reviews, including certificates of appropriateness, historic variances, demolitions of historic resources, proposed nominations of landmarks and historic districts, and other matters related to preservation. Please see section 599.100 of the Code of Ordinances for the Heritage Preservation Commission’s powers and duties.
See Heritage Preservation page for more information about preservation and the City’s designated Minneapolis landmarks and historic districts.
Committee of the Whole
Every two months, a joint Planning Commission and Heritage Preservation Commission Committee of the Whole meeting is held. This meeting is designed to give City staff and applicants the chance to discuss proposals with both commissions in an official forum outside of the public hearing process. For project reviews, staff and applicants present information related to an upcoming public hearing item for both Heritage Preservation Commission and Planning Commission discussion.
