| | | | | | | | Discussion:
The City of Shakopee is proposing to amend Figure 4.60 - Planned Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The amendment would expand the 2020-2030 MUSA boundary to include 42 parcels in an area surrounding Maras St. and Hansen Ave (see exhibits A and B).
A number of factors make this area a top priority for being added to the regional wastewater system: it is an environmentally sensitive area, there are aging and failing septic systems, and the road is due for reconstruction, which makes this an ideal time for installing utilities. This area is currently a CIP project being executed by Public Works to install sewer services.
The following are the criteria evaluated in the granting of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The City Council may grant a Comprehensive Plan Amendment when it finds that one or more of the following criteria exists:
Criteria #1 The original zoning ordinance is in error.
Finding #1 The original zoning ordinance was in error. The parcels should have been included in the 2020-2030 MUSA boundary. This amendment remedies this error.
Criteria #2 Significant changes in community goals and policies have taken place.
Finding #2 Significant changes in community goals and policies that affect these properties have not taken place.
Criteria #3 Significant changes in development patterns have occurred.
Finding #3 Significant changes in development patterns have not occurred for the subject properties.
Criteria #4 The Comprehensive Plan requires a different provision.
Finding #4 The Comprehensive Plan does not require a different provision.
Staff finds that the amendment meets 1 of the 4 criteria; one or more are necessary to be approved by the City Council. | | |
