Corcoran City Zoning Code

Subd. 1. Purpose. The Development Rights Map reflects the number of development rights remaining on properties zoned Urban Reserve, Rural Residential, Rural Commercial, and Transitional Rural Commercial. It is intended to show the maximum number of residential and non-residential lots that may be developed per individual property.

Subd. 2. Non-Transferable. Development rights cannot be transferred, except as allowed by Section 940.050, Subd. 1(8)(5) as part of an Open Space & Preservation Plat. Development rights can be reassigned as part of a lot consolidation, lot line adjustment, or subdivision application.

Subd. 3. Maintenance. The number of development rights shown on the map shall be revised to reflect the number of remaining development rights on property following subdivision of the land. It shall be the duty of the Zoning Administrator to maintain the map as required.

Subd. 4. Appeals. Should an objection to the number of development rights remaining on a particular property arise, the property owner may file an appeal to be heard by the City Council. All appeals should be submitted in writing to the Zoning Administrator and should state the calculation error or provide evidence of a record keeping error justifying the objection. The Council may decide the matter at any regularly scheduled meeting. A property owner may only file a second appeal for the same property if the justification has changed.
