Some six months ago the MN Supreme Court changed land use decisions for cities by narrowly construing the ability of a city to offer a "variance" for a technically non-conforming building. This was a huge blow especially to the remodel/renovation industry as virtually all of those projects require a variance for the job to proceed.
So, no surprise that this was a hot item before the legislature during this session. And, the result--the opinion of the Supreme Court was changed by legislative action. Good news, I think, especially in an economy where I think more people are likely to renovate to build new...and shouldn't we be promoting that, anyway?
