Minnesota HF3895 limits local zoning authority over certain housing types, requiring municipalities to allow mixed housing and accessory dwelling.

Minnesota HF3895 mandates that municipalities allow mixed housing, including duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes, as a permitted use in at least 33% of areas zoned for single-family homes. Accessory dwelling units must also be permitted on any residential lot containing a single-family home, regardless of lot size. The bill prohibits municipalities from imposing certain restrictions on these housing types, such as minimum lot sizes larger than one-eighth of an acre, minimum residential setback requirements, and maximum height limitations.
