<br /> 462.357 Official controls: zoning ordinance.
<br /> Subdivision l. Authority for zoning. For the purpose
<br /> of promoting the public health, safety, morals, and general
<br /> welfare, a municipality may by ordinance regulate on the earth's
<br /> surface, in the air space above the surface, and in subsurface
<br /> areas, the location, height, width, bulk, type of foundation,
<br /> � number of stories, size of buildings and other structures, the
<br /> percentage of lot which may be occupied, the size of yards and
<br /> other open spaces, the density and distribution of population,
<br /> the uses of buildings and structures for trade, industry,
<br /> residence, recreation, public activities, or other purposes, and
<br /> the uses of land for trade, industry, residence, recreation,
<br /> agriculture, forestry, soil conservation, water supply
<br /> conservation, conservation of shorelands, as defined in sections
<br /> 103F.201 to 103F.221, access to direct sunlight for solar energy
<br /> systems as defined in section 216C.06, flood control or other
<br /> purposes, and may establish standards and procedures regulating
<br /> such uses. To accomplish these purposes, official controls may
<br /> include provision for purchase of development rights by the
<br /> ' governing body in the form of conservation easements under
<br /> chapter 84C in areas where the governing body considers
<br /> preservation desirable and the transfer of development rights
<br /> from those areas to areas the governing body considers more
<br /> appropriate for development. No regulation may prohibit earth
<br /> sheltered construction as defined in section 216C.06,
<br /> subdivision 14, relocated residential buildings, or manufactured
<br /> homes built in cont'ormance with sections 327.31 to 327.35 that
<br /> comply with all other zoning ordinances promulgated pursuant to
<br /> this section. The regulations may divide the surface, above
<br /> surface, and subsurface areas of the municipality into districts
<br /> or zones of suitable numbers, shape, and area. The regulations
<br /> shall. be uniform for each class or kind of buildings,
<br /> structures, or land and for each class or kind of use throughout
<br /> such district, but the regulations in one district may differ
<br /> from those in other districts. The ordinance embodying"these
<br /> regulations shall be known as the zoning ordinance and shall
<br /> consist of text and maps. A city may by ordinance extend the
<br /> application of its zoning regulations to unincorporated
<br /> territory located within two miles of its limits in any
<br /> direction, but not in a county or town which has adopted zoning
<br /> regulations; provided that where two or more noncontiquous
<br /> municipalities have boundaries less than four miles apart, each
<br /> is authorized to control the zoning of land on its side of a
<br /> line equidistant between the two noncontiguous municipalities
<br /> unless a town or county in the affected area has adopted zoning
<br /> regulations. Any city may thereafter enforce such regulations
<br /> in the area to the same extent as if such property were situated
<br /> within its corporate limits, until the county or town board
<br /> adopts a'comprehensive zoning regulation which includes the area.
