Paisley Park can be permanent

CHANHASSEN, Minn. — A Minnesota city council voted Monday to rezone Prince’s Paisley Park recording studio and home, allowing it to open as a permanent museum.

The Chanhassen City Council signed off on the rezoning request, but also will require a traffic study to address concerns from council members and residents about pedestrian safety, traffic and parking.

Earlier this month, the council tabled the request by the trust company overseeing the late superstar’s estate, a move that nearly delayed the museum’s Oct. 6 opening before a temporary operating permit was granted.

Mayor Denny Laufenburger said that he was pleased with the city council’s decision, calling it a “big benefit for the community.”
