I believe the ordinance to ban new gun shops passed.

It's in 471.635.

471.633 FIREARMS.
The legislature preempts all authority of a home rule charter or statutory city including a city of the first class, county, town, municipal corporation, or other governmental subdivision, or any of their instrumentalities, to regulate firearms, ammunition, or their respective components to the complete exclusion of any order, ordinance or regulation by them except that:

(a) a governmental subdivision may regulate the discharge of firearms; and

(b) a governmental subdivision may adopt regulations identical to state law.

Local regulation inconsistent with this section is void


But...

471.635 ZONING ORDINANCES.
Notwithstanding section 471.633, a governmental subdivision may regulate by reasonable, nondiscriminatory, and nonarbitrary zoning ordinances, the location of businesses where firearms are sold by a firearms dealer. For the purposes of this section, a firearms dealer is a person who is federally licensed to sell firearms and a governmental subdivision is an entity described in sections 471.633 and 471.634.

Yes I get the zoning game like Minneapolis plays but how can they outright ban?

They didn't ban, they just imposed a "temporary" moratorium.

The ban passed 3-1.

Expect litigation.

Saint Louis Park has blatantly stated that they pass other regulation in violation of state preemption and fight it out in the courts.

EP based their ordinance by looking at St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Bloomington.
