     462.356 Procedure to effect plan:  generally. 


    Subdivision 1.    Recommendations for plan execution.  
 Upon the recommendation by the planning agency of the 
 comprehensive municipal plan or sections thereof, the planning 
 agency shall study and propose to the governing body reasonable 
 and practicable means for putting the plan or section of the 
 plan into effect.  Subject to the limitations of the following 
 sections, such means include, but are not limited to, zoning 
 regulations, regulations for the subdivision of land, an 
 official map, a program for coordination of the normal public 
 improvements and services of the municipality, urban renewal and 
 a capital improvements program.  


    Subd. 2.    Compliance with plan.  After a 
 comprehensive municipal plan or section thereof has been 
 recommended by the planning agency and a copy filed with the 
 governing body, no publicly owned interest in real property 
 within the municipality shall be acquired or disposed of, nor 
 shall any capital improvement be authorized by the municipality 
 or special district or agency thereof or any other political 
 subdivision having jurisdiction within the municipality until 
 after the planning agency has reviewed the proposed acquisition, 
 disposal, or capital improvement and reported in writing to the 
 governing body or other special district or agency or political 
 subdivision concerned, its findings as to compliance of the 
 proposed acquisition, disposal or improvement with the 
 comprehensive municipal plan.  Failure of the planning agency to 
 report on the proposal within 45 days after such a reference, or 
 such other period as may be designated by the governing body 
 shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this 
 subdivision.  The governing body may, by resolution adopted by 
 two-thirds vote dispense with the requirements of this 
 subdivision when in its judgment it finds that the proposed 
 acquisition or disposal of real property or capital improvement 
 has no relationship to the comprehensive municipal plan.
