Purpose

  • Change the official land-use designation for a specific area in the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area within St. Paul Park, redesignating it from a rural and open space district (CAROS) to a river neighborhood district (CARN).

Main Provisions

  • Redesignation target: area in St. Paul Park currently designated as CAROS, located in Sections 12, 13, and 24, Township 27 North, Range 22 West, lying west of 3rd Street and County Road 75.
  • Authority override: the redesignation is allowed “notwithstanding” Minnesota Rules chapter 6106.
  • Map update: the commissioner of natural resources must amend the map maintained under Minnesota Rules part 6106.0100, subpart 9 to reflect the redesignation.
  • Rulemaking exemption: the map amendment is exempt from the rulemaking requirements of Minnesota Statutes chapter 14, and Minnesota Statutes section 14.386 does not apply.

Implementation and Changes to Law

  • Deliverable: updated map showing the area redesignated from CAROS to CARN.

Significance
