Stat. § 462.355, subd. <br />1. <br />Minn. Stat. § 103G.005, subd. <br />10b. <br />• Overlay districts: A district that is developed to be imposed over or <br />"overlay" one or more existing zoning districts, which impose additional <br />zoning requirements. Overlay districts may be developed with a specific <br />land area in mind or they may be developed to "float" until they are <br />anchored to a suitable development proposal. In some cities, overlay <br />districts may be structured as conditional uses. <br />5. Natural resource protection and flood plain <br />provisions <br />In cities that contain certain natural resources such as lakes and rivers, or are <br />located in a floodplain, the zoning ordinance may also contain the following: <br />• Floodplain requirements: Floodplain management ordinances are <br />required by state law. Flood plain ordinances regulate the use of land in <br />the floodplain in order to preserve the capacity of the floodplain to carry <br />and discharge regional floods and minimize flood hazards. <br />• Wild and scenic rivers development requirements: Wild and Scenic <br />Rivers development ordinances are required by state law for cities that <br />have shore land located within the Minnesota Wild and Scenic Rivers <br />System. These ordinances must comply with state standards set by the <br />Commissioner of Natural Resources. <br />• Shoreland development requirements: For cities that contain shore land, <br />these zoning regulations control the use and development of its <br />shorelands. City shore land regulations must be at least as restrictive as <br />State standards and are subject to the review of the Commissioner of <br />Natural Resources. <br />• President Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Bill to Preserve Agricultural, <br />Forest, Wildlife, and Open Space Land. Non - metropolitan cities subject <br />to the T. Roosevelt Memorial Preservation Act when adopting or <br />amending a zoning ordinance, must consider restricting new residential, <br />commercial, and industrial development in a manner consistent with the <br />Act's goal of preserving land from development sprawl. Cities are not <br />required to adopt zoning practices consistent with the T. Roosevelt <br />Memorial Preservation Act, but must demonstrate (possibly through <br />findings of fact), that their decision process considered the Act's stated <br />goals. <br />League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 9/10/2012 <br />Zoning Guide for Cities Page 7 <br />
