Certain cities enactment of zoning changes related to residential density and permitted uses requirement provision and certain written instruments relating to real estate prohibition provision

This bill requires Minnesota cities with populations of 10,000 or more to adopt zoning changes by June 30, 2026. It mandates that such cities allow duplexes as a permitted use in at least 33% of all residential zones (including single-family zones) and triplexes, fourplexes, or townhouses in at least 25% of residential zones. The bill also requires cities to permit at least one accessory dwelling unit on any lot with a single-family home, following state building standards. These provisions aim to increase housing density options without restricting existing single-family homes. The bill directly affects all qualifying cities through their zoning ordinances.
