OHDS REVIEW
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 155.23, Subd. D of the Hastings City Code.
Materials
The applicant is proposing to use vinyl siding on the front porch area of the home. Per the
OHDS guidelines, this type of siding is acceptable provided there is a maximum of 5 inches
exposed. In addition, the applicant proposes to use asphalt shingles on the roof. The deck floor
will be constructed of composite decking.
