Shakopee City Council

FROM:Michael Kerski, Planning/Development Director
TO:Mayor and Council Members
Subject:
Adoption of Ordinance O2024-001 creating an Entertainment Overlay Zone
Policy/Action Requested:
Adopt Ordinance O2024-001 creating an Entertainment Overlay District specifically for the Amphitheater area and the area to the south per the included map.
Recommendation:
Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the Ordinance.
Discussion:

This Overlay allows for flexibility in signage and hours of operation for the amphitheater and the areas largely south that will be built out over the next several years with complimentary and supportive uses that could include restaurants, multifamily, retail, plazas, and other smaller entertainment venues.

 

Parking for the district has already been accommodated in the large parking scheme so the intent is to make this a more urban area for nightlife and entertainment.

 

Similar zones to this have been created in areas like Nashville that have a predominant entertainment factor, similar to the amphitheater.  

Budget Impact:
N/A
