Chanhassen city council just approved rezoning Paisley Park as a museum. Days of operation right now will be Thursday thru Sunday 9am to 9pm. A number of business owners/chamber of commerce members got up and spoke in favor saying it will be good for the city and they've already seen an increase in business.

Awright, that's what I called getting down to business...so happy...Prince would be happy for all the work and years he put into PP. I think it was his plan from the beginning for the fans. By the way, did you realize that the foyer of PP resembles the inside of a guitar? It's amazing...what a genius...

Now, that's the best news I've heard in a while.

Watching this city council meeting is so frustrating. I swear these council members (and some residents) just like the sound of their own voice.

Thanks for sparing us the suffering and letting us know that the rezoning was approved.

Complaining about Uber and Lyft...geez if they're that worried about just tell them to drop off and pick up at the parking ramp and let people bus to the site. Graceland can provide this info to both companies so they can update their GPS systems. Not complicated! Plus Graceland said uber and lyft traffic was less than 1% of ticket buyers. Good grief.

Sounds like some of the local city council meetings. If I were at the Chanhassen meeting in the mood I am today, I would have spouted off.

I really want to go there this year but it may have to be next Spring. I am glad to hear this news! Thanks local rogifan for your posts! Have you had a chance to get out there? I

I hear you. I have sat through many of these meetings and wanted to jump out of the nearest window.

This is great news but the next time these yahoos have an urgent agenda item maybe they'll address it in a tmely fashion. It's not like they have a whole lot else going on there.

Nope I'm waiting a while until the kinks have been worked out and it's a well oiled machine, so to speak.

Yeah I hear ya. I really want to see the Lovesexy room for that is my favorite era of our man Prince.

I am feeling the Spring 2017 may be it for me, I am from Southern California so it's hard for me to get out there. You are so blessed rogifan to live out there! Again thanks to ya for your informational posts, they are great!

Great news indeed! Especially for those who missed out due to the cancellations, or simply couldn't go for whatever reason. Hopefully you will now be able to buy tickets and schedule your trip with confidence!

It is! That means it will still be there when those of us will be able to go in time.

Happy to hear that everyone's concerns were addressed and they passed it.

Yay!! That's good news.

I tried telling everyone it would be good for the business', and was told that it was just a sleeper community.

Thank you City of Chanhassen!

My prayers have been answered. Prince would have loved this! So happy to hear such good news.

Paisley museum gets approved

Paisley Park is a permanent museum.

.

The Chanhassen City Council voted unanimously Monday to rezone the property at Highway 5 and Audubon Road to allow Prince's iconic studio to open to tourists on an ongoing basis.

For the past month the facility has been open on a temporary basis while concerns about traffic and pedestrian safety were reviewed.

Wow that is a lot of people in just the few days it was open. My anxiety level would shoot up if I came across crowds.
