Find out how your block could change with the Minneapolis 2040 plan
Parcel by parcel, compare the current zoning with what city planners envision over the next 20 years.
The plan approved by the Minneapolis City Council on Dec. 7 upzones the city to allow for triplexes in all neighborhoods, even those now reserved for single-family homes, and 3-to-6 story buildings along some transit corridors. The plan offers guidance on how to keep Minneapolis affordable, environmentally friendly and racially equitable as the population grows over the next two decades.
Since its release this spring, the plan has sparked a vigorous debate on whether the proposed changes will adequately accomplish this ambitious vision for the future, or if such rapid change all at once will invite developers to destroy the city’s characters in the name of profitable multi-unit housing. The City Council made numerous changes to the proposal, which will now be submitted to the Metropolitan Council.
