SF225 (Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026))

Municipal planned units development requirements limitations

Related bill: HF933

AI Generated Summary

This legislative bill, introduced in Minnesota, aims to restrict the powers of municipalities concerning planned unit developments (PUDs). Specifically, it states that:

  1. Local governments cannot require a PUD agreement if the proposed residential development already adheres to current city zoning or subdivision rules, or if it qualifies as a conditional use.

  2. The PUD agreement must be publicly accessible: it should be posted on the municipality's website at least seven days before it is reviewed by the governing body. If the municipality does not have a website, the agreement should be available at the city hall.

  3. Once a PUD agreement is approved, it cannot be changed unless all parties involved in the agreement agree to the changes.

This bill is intended to simplify and clarify the process of getting approval for residential developments that meet existing rules, and to enhance transparency and public involvement in the approval process of PUDs.
