Historic designation would saddle a public school with the obligation to spend taxpayer dollars designated for education to preserve a religious structure. This is simply wrong.

Yesterday, the Zoning Committee of the St. Paul Planning Commission voted to extend the timeline for review of the school's site plan and the related variances. They cited the need to get the staff report on the school's traffic study.

Commissioners said they did not want to designate a structure as historic without the owner’s consent, and pointed to aspects of the city’s comprehensive plan: working with educational institutions, need for jobs and economic development.
