Minneapolis 2040 Plan designates Transit 30 and Transit 20 zones along Metro Transit BRT (A, C, D Lines) and LRT corridors, allowing taller buildings, no parking minimums, and mixed-use development by right.
Title 20 implements 2040 future land-use categories that scale density along high-frequency transit. Within roughly a quarter-mile of arterial BRT stops and LRT stations, projects may build 4-6 stories by right, with additional bonuses through inclusionary zoning. Citywide parking minimums were eliminated in 2021, particularly impactful in transit areas. Pedestrian-oriented design standards apply at the street wall. The Metropolitan Council coordinates regional transit and station-area planning with the city through corridor task forces.
Non-compliant development is subject to CPED stop-work orders and zoning enforcement; pedestrian-design failures must be remedied before occupancy.
