771 ,_ a'". .ate • ./41 North Metro Mayors Association \(74/ .1-0% <100440 dr/0 Principles for State Land Use Impacts On Infrastructure, Schools And Environment NMMA Board of Directors Adopted on April 16, 1997 J The State of Minnesota should establish a policy on the compact, efficient, orderly, development and re-development of land that: 1) Contains new residential, industrial and commercial development in incorporated cities, and only where actually served by organized water and sewer service meeting PCA criteria. 2) Implements such containment developing incentive and disincentive policies and/or by requiring a minimum of 40+ acres per dwelling unit for development beyond incorporated cities. • 3) Minimizes mandates on local governments to engage expensive experts and processes. That is, the State either: • draws the lines or • sets the criteria for such cities as identified in #1 4) Recognizes that the State must establish, through actual substantive regulations, adopted in partnership with cities and other affected parties, how and under what circumstances development may occur. 5) Reviews and uses best practices found in Minnesota, other states and countries so as to accurately predict the impacts of regulations on development. This would be accomplished by a commission/task force studying the issue and reviewing past practices, available studies and information from all other pertinent resources. The intended purpose would be to identify predictable outcomes and true costs of development based on the implementation of a statewide comprehensive land use policy. 6) Development of vacant land should capture its true public costs for infrastructure needs, e.g., schools, highways, treatment plants through impact fees on development. • *Re-development refers not only to razing an existing structure, but also renovation and rehabilitation.
