Parking Ordinance

The Minnetonka City Council adopted the parking ordinance May 1, 2023.

The City of Minnetonka is proposing a new parking ordinance. The existing parking ordinance was adopted in 1986 and reflects the national suburban development trends of that time. However, based on the number of parking variances applied for and granted in recent years, the existing ordinance and its underlying assumptions no longer reflect average parking demand or community goals.

The amended ordinance aims to:

• Ensure the average parking demand associated with new and existing land uses can be reasonably met.
• Provide flexibility in parking regulations in support of city goals related to community aesthetics, environmental protection and economic sustainability.

Prior to drafting a final ordinance for the city council, the city is open to community feedback and information regarding the proposed ordinance. You can share your feedback and ask questions in the spaces provided below.
