Minneapolis Code of Ordinances § 585.20
in effect585.20. - Findings and purpose.
The city council is concerned that rapid changes in the residential areas surrounding the University of Minnesota may affect community livability. The city council is concerned that continued residential demolition and construction of single and two-family residential dwellings and multiple-family residential dwellings having three (3) or four (4) dwelling units could substantially alter the character and livability of the study area. The city council is interested in protecting the livability of the study area by examining issues such as parking, density, and whether the existing pattern of zoning districts within the study area is consistent with the policies of the comprehensive plan. As a result of the important land use and zoning issues cited above, the city, through its planning division, will conduct studies to consider possible amendments to the official zoning controls. The city council finds that this interim ordinance should be adopted to protect the planning process and the public health, safety, aesthetics, economic viability, and general welfare of the city.
