#HF2013
In Minnesota these are called aesthetic mandates. And in addition to making strange looking buildings, they also add unnecessary costs.

#HF2013 / #SF2836 is in the #MNleg this session to help address rules like these that block homes and make them more expensive. #YesToHomes
This is an example of how Objective Design Standards, which are part of zoning, make buildings look like patchwork. Dublin (which does do a good job of building housing) has 42 pages of ODS www.dublin.ca.gov/DocumentCent...

66% of Minnesotans support limiting how much city governments can control aesthetics of homes, which the #YesToHomes Homeowner Freedom Act (#HF2013) addresses. #MNleg

#HF2013 allows for individuals to choose what kinds of aesthetics they want for their home rather than the city deciding to have a singular allowed look or style.

Jill Hutmacher - testifying for Cities (from Eagan) - cities continue to be concerned about local control.

#HF2013 Rep. Igo - removes prescriptive requirements which increase home prices by $1000 and prices 4000 people out of the home.

Rep. Igo asking Rep. Nash to bring #HF2013, as amended, in negotiation with League of Minnesota Cities (LMC). Bill dials down aesthetic mandates which require excessive requirements.

Rep. Igo "Every parent wants their kids to live in or around where they live. My kids cannot live in Waconia."
