Board of Hennepin County Commissioners - 2026-04-28
Rezoning decisions delivered same-day. 7-day free trial, cancel anytime.
Hennepin County Board, Minneapolis City Council, Planning Commission, and Board of Adjustment handle comprehensive plan amendments, rezonings, PUDs, and conditional use permits across the county. The Minneapolis 2040 plan eliminated single-family-only zoning citywide, enabling up to three units on every residential lot. Transit corridor rezoning and PUD activity concentrates along Blue Line and Green Line light rail stations, where station-area plans guide density increases. Suburban cities like Eden Prairie, Bloomington, and Plymouth process their own zoning changes, often driven by Met Council housing allocation targets. Site plan review applications provide early visibility into project specifics.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Hennepin County Board, Minneapolis City Council, and the Planning Commission are all tracked by ZoneWire for conditional use permits, PUDs, site plan reviews, rezonings, and comprehensive plan amendments across Hennepin County.
Minneapolis City Council meets weekly, with the Planning Commission holding hearings twice per month. The Hennepin County Board also meets biweekly. Combined, this generates a high volume of zoning-related meetings each month.
Minneapolis 2040 is the city's comprehensive plan that eliminated single-family-only zoning citywide, allowing duplexes and triplexes in all residential areas. This landmark policy drives frequent CUP and site plan review filings as properties are redeveloped under the new framework along transit corridors.
Key zoning terms for Hennepin County include CUP (Conditional Use Permit), PUD (Planned Unit Development), site plan review, rezoning, comprehensive plan amendment, variance, interim use permit, and Minneapolis 2040.
