OHDS Intent
Original Hastings Design Standards (OHDS) preserve and enhance traditional
neighborhood design by reflecting the general characteristics of buildings dating from
1845 to 1940, which is the predominate era for building construction within the OHDS
District. OHDS regulations ensure traditional neighborhood design by incorporating
design features such as alleys, carriage houses, front porches, period sensitive
housing design, sidewalks, and traditional street lighting. Design standards create and
enhance the character of older neighborhoods by establishing regulation to guide
property development and rehabilitation consistent with the unique historic character of
the neighborhood. The OHDS are derived from the Design Guidelines for Original
Hastings, adopted in 2003 by the City Council as part of the Heart of Hastings Master
Plan. OHDS regulations are located found in Chapter 10.14, Subd. 4 of the Hastings
City Code.
