Shakopee Planning Commission Meeting
May 3, 2018

FROM: Michael Kerski, Director of Planning and Development 
TO:Planning Commission
Subject:
PUBLIC HEARING: Zoning Text Amendment to Replace the Planned Unit Development Section of the Land Development Code
Policy/Action Requested:
A recommendation  to the City Council to adopt the text amendment to replace the existing PUD Overlay section with a PUD Zoning section.
Recommendation:
Open public hearing.  Take comment.  Close public hearing.  Recommend to the City Council to adopt the text amendment to replace the existing PUD Overlay section with a PUD Zoning section.
Discussion:

Currently the city has been using a Planning Unit Development (PUD) Overlay District where the underlying zoning still prevails.  Most cities in Minnesota have been moving to an actual PUD Zoning where the underlying zoning is the actual PUD and what is allowed and requires specificity in use and design.  This is a higher standard but also allows more flexibility in layout, uses and design. 

 

Existing PUD Overlays would still use the PUD Amendment Process however newly created PUDs would now show as an actual zoning layer.
