Hennepin County anchors the Minneapolis metropolitan area, where the landmark Minneapolis 2040 comprehensive plan eliminated single-family-only zoning citywide and enabled up to three units on every residential lot. Transit corridor development along the Blue Line and Green Line light rail drives significant rezoning and PUD activity, with station-area plans guiding density increases. Suburban cities like Eden Prairie, Bloomington, and Plymouth also see active zoning changes as they respond to Met Council housing allocation targets. Tracking Hennepin County Board, Minneapolis City Council, and Planning Commission decisions is essential for developers operating in this rapidly evolving market.
