The museum was scheduled to open to the public on Thursday (October 6).

The opening of Prince’s Paisley Park museum has been delayed.

On Monday (October 3), the Chanhassen City Council voted to delay a zoning request that would allow the late singer’s Paisley Park estate and studio to reopen to the public as a museum, reports Minneapolis’s Star Tribune. Attendees and Council members apparently discussed the issue for over three hours before arriving at a decision.

The request has been delayed because council members reportedly want more time to study the museum’s impact on traffic, parking, public safety and pedestrian safety. The Star Tribune reports that council member Bethany Tjornhom said the community needs time to consider whether it wants to become a “tourist town” and host an anticipated 600,000 visitors a year.

Paisley Park tours were scheduled to begin on Thursday and it’s not clear when the council will decide on the rezoning request. However, according to the Chanhassen Villager, the city now has until December 23 to act on the rezoning request. If no action is taken, then the request will be approved.

Back in September, it was confirmed that Prince’s legendary home of Paisley Park would be turned into a museum and opened to the public, much like Elvis Presley’s Graceland.

The museum, which covers 12 rooms on the compound’s first floor, is actually Prince’s design – the late singer left behind “detailed guidelines” of how his museum should be arranged, a source told Rolling Stone, including the suggestions of “a wall-mounted timeline of his life through the mid-1990s and messages and texts sent to friends that specify how he wanted fans to walk through Paisley Park.”
