Intentional Community Cluster Developments as conceived by Minneapolis

On 2018 December 7 councilmembers Cam Gordon, Jeremy Schroeder, and Jeremiah Ellison introduced an ordinance to the Minneapolis City Council to amend regulations related to intentional community cluster developments. The amendment allowed a configuration of small dwelling units or rooming units and a common house on a lot. The noted intent is to provide an affordable housing option for residents who are unhoused or housing unstable.

Department of Community Planning and Economic Development staff prepared a report for the City Planning Commission and presented it on 2019 October 21 supporting the implementation of intentional community cluster developments.
