Minneapolis Code of Ordinances § 580.20
in effect580.20. - Findings and purpose.
The city council is concerned about the underdevelopment and underutilization of properties as well as the lack of pedestrian oriented developments in the area bounded by Nicollet Avenue (east to west, alley to alley) from Franklin Avenue to the Midtown/Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority (HCRRA) right-of-way and has enacted an interim ordinance in order to allow for the completion of a study to inform future development in the area bounded by Nicollet Avenue (east to west, alley to alley) from Franklin Avenue to the Midtown Greenway/Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority (HCRRA) right-of-way. The Pedestrian Oriented Overlay District and Development Guidelines Study, along with appropriate revisions to the city's official controls can ensure that activity in the area will not undermine the future orderly development of the area. The city finds that this interim ordinance should be adopted to protect this planning process and the health, safety and welfare of the citizens. (2006-Or-110, § 1, 10-6-06)
