Land Use & Zoning

A Minnesota city wants to allow a restaurant in a residential zone temporarily while permanent zoning changes are being processed. The city would grant a:

AVariance
BRezoning
CConditional use permit
DTemporary use permit✓ Correct

Explanation

A temporary use permit allows a non-conforming use for a limited time period. This differs from a conditional use permit (which is more permanent) or a variance (which is a deviation from dimensional standards). Minnesota cities use temporary use permits for time-limited situations while permanent solutions are arranged.
