Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to local government; limiting municipal powers to require planned unit developments; regulating planned unit development agreements; proposing coding for new law in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 462.
AI Summary
This bill introduces new limitations on how municipalities in Minnesota can regulate planned unit developments (PUDs), which are special land development projects that allow more flexible zoning and design standards. Specifically, the bill prevents cities from requiring a PUD agreement for a residential development that already meets existing zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, or qualifies as a conditional use. The bill also mandates transparency by requiring municipalities to publicly post any proposed PUD agreement on their website at least seven days before review, with an alternative provision for cities without websites to make the agreement available for review at city hall. Additionally, once a PUD agreement is approved, the bill stipulates that it cannot be modified without the consent of all parties involved. These provisions aim to streamline residential development processes and increase transparency in local government land use decision-making, potentially making it easier for developers to create new housing while ensuring public access to development agreements.
