Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to local government; prohibiting minimum parking mandates; proposing coding for new law in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 462.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits local governments (political subdivisions) in Minnesota from imposing minimum parking mandates for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. The legislation defines a "minimum parking mandate" as any law or ordinance that requires a specific number of off-street motor vehicle parking spaces, with an important exception that allows additional disability parking spaces to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. While local governments cannot mandate a minimum number of parking spaces, they are still permitted to provide non-binding recommendations about parking and can continue to regulate disability parking spaces under existing law. The bill aims to provide more flexibility for property owners in determining their parking needs, potentially reducing development costs and allowing for more efficient land use by eliminating blanket parking requirements that might not align with specific property characteristics or local transportation patterns.
