<br />Executive Order 79 -19
<br />Current Standards & Guidelines
<br />(Currently in effect; all local plans and ordinances must
<br />be consistent with these standards and guidelines.)
<br />C.Z. Each LG and state agency shall prepare plans and regulations to

<br />pro ide for the following considerations
<br />a. Site Plans. Site plans shall meet the following guidelines
<br />1 ew de elopment and expansion shall be permitted only after
<br />the appro al of site plans which adequately assess and
<br />minimize ad erse effects and maximize beneficial effects.
<br />2 Site plans shall be required for all de elopments for which a
<br />de elopment permit is required, except for the modification of
<br />an existing single - family residential structure or the
<br />construction of one single- family residence.
<br />3 Site plans shah include, but not be limited to, the submission of
<br />an adequate and detailed description of the project, including
<br />acti (ties undertaken to ensure consistency with the objecti es
<br />of the Designation rder maps which specify soil types,
<br />topography, and the expected physical changes in the site as
<br />the result of the de elopment the measures which address
<br />ad erse en ironrnenta
<br />dude effects.
<br />4 Site plans shall include standards to ensure that structure,
<br />road, screening, landscaping, construction placement,
<br />maintenance, and storm water runoff are compatible with the
<br />character and use of the ri er corridor in that district.
<br />5 Site plans shall pro ide opportunities for open space
<br />establishment and for public iewing of the ri er corridor
<br />whene er applicable, and shall contain specific conditions with
<br />regard to buffering, landscaping, and re- egetation.
<br />b. Structures. Structure site and location shall be regulated to ensure
<br />that ri erbanks, bluffs and scenic o erlooks remain in their natural
<br />state, and to minimize interference with iews of and from the
<br />ri er, except for specific uses requiring ri er access.
<br />d. Access Routes. Commercial and industrial de elopments adjacent to
<br />roadways shall be required to pro ide off - street parking, ser ice
<br />roads and limited controlled access points to highways. Except in
<br />cases of extreme hardship, highway access for any de elopment
<br />within 250 of a bridge or bridge ramp shall be prohibited.
<br />Interim Development Regulations (IDR)
<br />(EO 79 -19 provided the IDRS as temporary standards until local MRCCA
<br />ordinances were approved by the EQe. Hastings, Brooklyn Center, and a small
<br />area in Hennepin County are still subject to the /DRs because they do not have
<br />approved MRCCA ordinances. The DNR used some of the IDRS in drafting new
<br />MRCCA rules, and some LGUs have used portions of the IDRS in their current
<br />ordinances. The /085 are provided here for reference. Local ordinances, which
<br />vary widely, will contain the current effective standards in any given community.)
<br />F. Dimensional standards and criteria.
<br />7. Line of Sight
