7.C.1.


Shakopee City Council
July 5, 2017

FROM:Michael Kerski, Director of Planning and Development
TO:Mayor and Council
Subject:
Text Amendment to allow residential in the Major Recreation Zones as part of a PUD.
Policy/Action Requested:
Approve Ordinance No. 966 to allow residential in the Major Recreation Zone as part of a PUD.
Recommendation:

Approve Ordinance No. 966 to allow residential in the Major Recreation Zone as part of a PUD.

Discussion:

There are three Major Recreation Zones in the City including Canterbury Park, Valley Fair and The Landing (Three Rivers).  Canterbury Park is working on a PUD Amendment to make the 300 plus acres into a mixed use community..

This would allow residential uses in the Major Recreation Zone (MR) through a PUD Amendment process.  Since the two likely locations, Canterbury and Valley Fair both have large structures, it would be appropriate to allow larger, higher density developments.  Canterbury Park is currently contemplating a development that would require structured parking.

Planning Commission held a Public Hearing and then voted 6-0 to approve the change.
