Background

Following the adoption of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, parcels from time-to-time will need to rezoned to be consistent with the land use plan. The city has previously approved a 2040 Comprehensive Plan amendment to change the land use of the parcel to mixed residential, which matches the properties to the south. 

The city of Shakopee has submitted an application to rezone property located at Vierling Drive West and Lincoln Street (PID: 27-473003-0) from High Density Residential Zone (R-4) to Multiple Family Residential District (R-3). This change would reduce the allowed maximum density and remain in conformance with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. 

This property is currently owned by the EDA and is under contract to a developer for a townhome project. 

Next Steps 

Following a positive recommendation by the Planning Commission to the City Council and their subsequent approval, the item would be rezoned to R-3 and the zoning map would be updated.
