RELEVANT LINKS: <br />League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 8/3/2018 <br />Planning Commission Guide Page 14 <br /> The planning commission has 45 days to report on the proposal, unless the <br />city council designates a shorter or longer period for review. If the planning <br />commission does not report within the required timeline, this statutory <br />provision is considered waived by the commission. <br /> A city council may by resolution adopted by two-thirds vote dispense with <br />this requirement when in its judgment it finds that the proposed capital <br />improvement has no relationship to the comprehensive municipal plan. <br /> <br />Lerner v. City of <br />Minneapolis, 284 Minn. 46, <br />169 N.W.2d 380 (Minn. <br />1969). A.G. Op. 161-b (Aug. <br />8, 1966). <br />In submitting comments and review, the planning commission serves in a <br />strictly advisory role. The city council ultimately decides on capital <br />improvements for the city and is not bound by planning commission <br />recommendations. <br /> G. Role in zoning ordinance adoption and <br />amendment <br /> 1. Zoning ordinance adoption <br />Minn. Stat. § 462.357, subd <br />2. <br />Minn.

If a city adopts only a land use plan, the plan must provide <br />guidelines for the timing and sequence of the adoption of official controls to <br />ensure planned, orderly, and staged development and redevelopment <br />consistent with the land use plan. <br /> Note: The Municipal Planning Act has specific provisions related to local <br />zoning of the following uses, which impact zoning ordinances: <br />Minn.
