Planning and Zoning - Introduction
• Land Use Planning is an activity permitted to local governments by
the State - MN Stat 462 governs planning and zoning.
• Prior to our current zoning process, land use was regulated by
nuisance law.
• Nuisances are infringements on property rights by another person.
• Property rights include the right to use one's property for one's
own benefit, and not to be unreasonably interfered with by
others.

Introduction,
cont'd
• Nuisance law is notoriously difficult to
manage - expensive, uncertain,
inconsistent from place to place.
• Public zoning took the place of private
nuisance lawsuits in the early 1900s. The
theory was that a consistent set of land
use expectations could be written and
defended, and people could make more
predictable investments in real estate,
under a public scheme.
• Public land use regulation acknowledges
that the public has a stake in how
property is developed, since the public
will be asked to maintain the
infrastructure and public safety to
preserve it - the "police powers".

Comprehensive Plan
• The fundamental planning document - required in the 7 -County
metro area, highly recommended regardless.
• In Monticello (and all 80 non -metro counties), the Zoning
Ordinance is actually the dominant document in cases of conflict
with the Comp Plan.
• Most recognizable portion - the Future Land Use Plan. The most
critical - statement of Goals and Policies.
• Everything done as a part of land use regulation should relate to
the City's land use goals and policies.
