Stat. § 462.357, <br />be given to certain persons or to be published depends on the contents of <br />subd. 3. <br />the code. Published notice is generally not required for statutory cities to <br />Hearing Notice on <br />adopt a code unless the code contains a zoning ordinance or amendments to <br />Adopting City Ordinance <br />a zoning ordinance, or if the code includes a new ordinance or major <br />Code, LMC Model Form. <br />revisions to an existing ordinance, which, if adopted as a separate ordinance <br />or as an amendment to a separate ordinance, would require published <br />notice. Some city charters require a notice of hearing regarding adoption of <br />a code to be published. <br />Minn. Stat. § 462.357, <br />Mailed, written notice is required in at least two circumstances. First, if a <br />subd. 3. <br />code contains an amendment from a previous ordinance that changes <br />zoning -district boundaries affecting an area of five acres or less, written <br />mailed notice must be given to each owner of affected property and <br />property situated wholly or partly within 350 feet of the property to which <br />Minn. Stat. § 461.19. <br />the amendment relates at least 10 days before the day of the hearing. <br />Second, if the code contains amendments to a previous ordinance relating <br />to the sale of tobacco, or if it adopts the League's model tobacco ordinance, <br />written notice must be mailed to all licensed tobacco retailers in the city at <br />least 30 days before the meeting at which the ordinance or amendments to <br />the ordinance will be considered. <br />Minn. Stat. § 412.191, <br />Once the ordinance adopting the code has been passed, the ordinance must <br />subd. 4. <br />be published in the manner required by law for statutory cities or by the city <br />charter if applicable. For statutory cities, the ordinance takes effect on the <br />date of publication unless otherwise specified in the ordinance. <br />In some codes, provision is made for all fees to be adopted in a fee schedule <br />adopted by a new ordinance that is not codified. This makes it possible to <br />amend the fee schedule periodically without the need to make changes in <br />the code. <br />Notice of hearing on the ordinance establishing a fee schedule need not be <br />given if the fees in the schedule are the same as they were under the <br />ordinances that are being codified. <br />If the fee increases are to be included in the ordinance establishing or <br />Minn. Stat. § 340A.408, <br />amending the fee schedule, written notice of the hearing should be mailed <br />subd. 3a. <br />at least 30 days before the hearing at which the ordinance is to be <br />considered, to all persons who hold business licenses in the city whose <br />license fees are to be increased. <br />League of Minnesota Cities Handbook for Minnesota Cities 8/30/2022 <br />Meetings, Motions, Resolutions, and Ordinances Chapter 7 1 Page 53 <br />
