The proposed bill aims to limit regulations imposed by municipalities on certain residential developments in Minnesota. It introduces new legal language under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 462, specifically section 462.3575, which includes several key provisions. Firstly, municipalities are prohibited from conditioning the approval of building permits, subdivision developments, or planned unit developments on the use of specific materials, designs, or other aesthetic requirements that exceed those mandated by the State Building Code. Secondly, the bill establishes that municipalities cannot impose minimum square footage requirements for residential developments.

Additionally, the bill includes an exception stating that these limitations do not apply to residential developments that are initiated by the municipality itself. The provisions outlined in this bill are set to take effect the day following its final enactment, thereby allowing for immediate implementation of these regulatory limitations on residential development.
