Minneapolis Code of Ordinances § 596.20
in effect596.20. - Findings and purpose.
The city council is concerned about certain types of industrial use and the potential adverse environmental, health, and equity impacts that these uses can generate. The city has already held a public hearing to consider amendment of its official controls related to implementation of the land use policies of the comprehensive plan, including policies pertaining to industrial uses. Those amendments will proceed to the city council for further deliberation and final adoption. In order to protect the integrity and ongoing validity of this legislative process before final adoption, it is both reasonable and necessary for the city council to adopt an interim ordinance related to certain high impact industrial uses. The city council finds that this interim ordinance should be adopted to protect the public health, safety, neighboring properties, economic viability, public assets, and general welfare of the city. (Ord. No. 2023-030, § 1, 5-25-23)
