Stat. § 462.358, <br />subd. 2b. <br />Minn. Stat. § 462.353, <br />subd. 4. <br />D. Violations of the zoning ordinance: <br />conditional use permit revocation <br />Where a conditional use permit has been issued, a city may have an <br />additional method of compelling compliance with city zoning ordinances. <br />Conditional use permits may be revoked if the permit holder violates the <br />conditions of the permit. For example, if the permit requires the installation <br />traffic calming measures, but the permit holder fails to do so. <br />However, it is important to emphasize that conditional use permits, once <br />granted, are a property right. A city seeking to revoke a conditional use <br />permit should provide the permit holder with due process, an opportunity to <br />be heard and respond to allegations, prior to permit revocation. Procedures <br />for revocation should be established in the zoning ordinance. <br />VII. Conclusion: other land use <br />controls available to cities <br />It is important to emphasize that zoning is merely one of the tools available <br />to a city to assist in creating a well -planned, even thriving community. A city <br />may also use its subdivision ordinance, building and housing codes, nuisance <br />ordinance, capital improvement programs and official map in conjunction <br />with its zoning ordinance to achieve its planning goals and assure the social, <br />economic and cultural future of the community. <br />A. Subdivision ordinances <br />Municipalities have the authority to regulate subdivisions of land for many <br />reasons including but not limited to encouraging orderly development and <br />planning for necessities such as streets, parks and open spaces. Cities have <br />the authority to adopt a subdivision ordinance setting out the standards, <br />requirements and procedures to review, approve or disapprove an application <br />to subdivide tracts of land in the city. <br />Cities have the authority to require, as part of the subdivision regulations, <br />that a reasonable portion of buildable land in any proposed subdivision be <br />dedicated to the public or preserved for public use as some or all of the <br />following: <br />• Streets, roads. <br />ZONING GUIDE FOR CITIES 51 <br />
