Minnesota HF1356 allows certain municipalities to extend zoning authority to unincorporated territory within two miles of their limits.

Minnesota HF1356 amends state statutes to allow municipalities to extend their zoning and subdivision regulations to unincorporated territory within two miles of their limits. This extension does not apply to areas within towns that have already adopted subdivision regulations. If multiple noncontiguous municipalities are less than four miles apart, each can control the zoning or subdivision of land equidistant from their boundaries, unless a town or county in the area has adopted regulations.
