This bill proposes limiting municipal regulations on residential development in Minnesota. Specifically:

1. Limitation on Aesthetic Mandates: Municipalities cannot require specific materials, designs, or other aesthetic conditions for building permit approvals, subdivisions, or planned unit developments unless mandated by the State Building Code.

2. Limitation on Square Footage: Municipalities cannot impose a minimum square footage requirement for residential developments.

3. Exception: These limitations do not apply to residential developments undertaken by the municipality itself.

The bill aims to reduce local regulatory restrictions to encourage housing development.
