<br />D. Regional development commissions and
<br />comprehensive planning activities
<br />Regional development commissions are separate entities from regional
<br />development boards discussed above. Regional development commissions
<br />are created by state statute to provide a means of pooling the resources of
<br />local governments to approach common problems related to urban and rural
<br />growth and development.
<br />Development regions are set by state statute and are numbered as follows:
<br />Region 1: Kittson, Roseau, Marshall, Pennington, Red Lake, Polk, and
<br />Norman.
<br />Region 2: Lake of the Woods, Beltrami, Mahnomen, Clearwater, and
<br />Hubbard.
<br />Region 3: Koochiching, Itasca, St. Louis, Lake, Cook, Aitkin, and Carlton.
<br />Region 4: Clay, Becker, Wilkin, Otter Tail, Grant, Douglas, Traverse,
<br />Stevens, and Pope.
<br />Region 5: Cass, Wadena, Crow Wing, Todd, and Morrison.
<br />Region 6E: Kandiyohi, Meeker, Renville, and McLeod.
<br />Region 6W: Big Stone, Swift, Chippewa, Lac qui Parle, and Yellow
<br />Medicine.
<br />Region 7E: Mille Lacs, Kanabec, Pine, Isanti, and Chisago.
<br />Region 8: Lincoln, Lyon, Redwood, Pipestone, Murray, Cottonwood, Rock,
<br />Nobles, and Jackson.
<br />Region 9: Sibley, Nicollet, LeSueur, Brown, Blue Earth, Waseca,
<br />Watonwan, Martin, and Faribault.
<br />Region 10: Rice, Goodhue, Wabasha, Steele, Dodge, Olmsted, Winona,
<br />Freeborn, Mower, Fillmore, and Houston.
<br />Region 11: Anoka, Hennepin, Ramsey, Washington, Carver, Scott, and
<br />Dakota.
<br />The creation of a regional development commission does not affect the
<br />rights of counties or cities to conduct their own planning activities. Instead,
<br />regional development commissions are designed to support planning for
<br />cities. Cities may request that a regional commission review, comment, and
<br />provide advisory recommendations on local plans or development proposals.
