Minnesota Administrative Rules
Agency 156 - Metropolitan Council
Chapter 5800 - MATTERS OF METROPOLITAN SIGNIFICANCE
Part 5800.0010 - PURPOSE
Minnesota Statutes, section 473.173, requires that the Metropolitan Council adopt and put into effect rules establishing standards, guidelines, and procedures for determining whether any proposed project is of metropolitan significance. This chapter will be used in the review of all such projects. The purpose of this chapter is to assure that the total effect of a proposed project alleged to be of metropolitan significance is considered and the orderly and economic development of the area is promoted. It is not the council's intent to use this chapter to stop development, but rather to work out differences among parties and arrive at consensus.
