Subp. 2. Designation of zoning districts. Local governments with adopted land use zoning districts in effect on the date of adoption of parts 6120.2500 to 6120.3900 may continue to use the districts until revisions are proposed. When amendments to zoning districts on lakes are considered, local governments, at least for all the shoreland wichin the community of the public water involved and preferably for all shoreland areas within the community, must revise existing zoning district and use provisions to make them substantially compatible with the framework in subpart 4. On a river, zoning districts and use provisions for all shoreland on both sides within the same class in the community must be revised to make them substantially compatible with the framework in subpart 5. If the same r’ver class is contiguous for more than a five-mile segment, onl^ vhe shoreland for a distance of 2.5 miles up and down stream or to the class boundary, if closer, need be evaluated. When an interpretation question arises about whether a specific land use fits within a category in subpart 4 or 5, the question must be resolved through procedures in local government official controls and state statutes. Subp. 3. Land use district descriptions. Land use district descriptions are as follows: A. A special protection district is intended to be used for two basic purposes. The first purpose is to limit and properly manage development in areas that are generally unsuitable for development or uses due to flooding, erosion, limiting soil conditions, steep slopes, or other major physical constraints. A second purpose is to manage and preserve areas with special historical, natural, or biological characteristics. B. A residential district is primarily intended to allow low to medium density seasonal and year-rour.d residential uses on lands suitable for such uses. It is also intended to prevent establishment of various commercial, industrial, and other uses in these areas that cause conflicts or problems for residential uses* Some nonresidential uses with minimal impacts on residential uses are allowed if properly managed under A-1.14 ilM
