TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kyle Sobota, Senior Planner
DATE: 12/15/2015
SUBJECT: Zoning Text Amendment Creating the R-4, High Density Residential
Zoning District
Action Sought
Approve the proposed text amendment that creates the R-4, High Density
Residential District.
Introduction:
Sand Companies has applied to create a new zoning district, R-4, High Density
Residential District to allow for higher density residential development. Sand
Companies has also submitted a rezoning request to rezone property in Southbridge
Crossings East, adjacent to River Valley Church and Southbridge Transit Station to
this new zoning district.
Background
The City has recently received applications and concept plans from developers
proposing multiple family housing developments. At this time there is one available
10.7 acre outlot parcel that is zoned R-3, Multiple Family Residential. That property
is located on Sarazin Street, directly east of Target. Approximately 3.9 acres of this
parcel is available for building, due to the easement corridor for the Xcel Energy
transmission lines adjacent to US 169 which restricts the use of the remainder of the
lot. The current R-3 zoning regulations allow for a maximum of 12 units per acre,
with a bonus to 14 units / acre for a Planned Unit Development.
Sand Companies approached the City with a concept plan for an apartment
development, however the current zoning does not permit residential uses as a sole
use of a property. The project would need to be a mixed use project within the B-1
zoning ordinance and approved by the City Council. Staff views this site as a
potentially attractive site for attached housing because of the proximity
to Southbridge transit station and the surrounding roadway network.
Discussion:
Prior to 2001, the permitted density in the R-3 zone was 18 units per acre, but the
density was reduced after the City Council approved the Addison Apartments and
Garden Lane. The density of recent attached housing projects within Shakopee are
as follows:
•Addison Apartments: 18 units per acre
•Garden Lane Apartments: 18 units per acre
•Northridge Court: 46 units per acre
•The Henderson: 41 units per acre
•All Saints Senior Housing: 26 units per acre
Planning staff reviewed several suburban zoning ordinances from the cities of
Apple Valley, Chaska, Chanhassen, Eden Prairie, Plymouth, Rosemount, and
Savage. Allowable densities in these communities ranged from 18 units per acre
(Chaska) to 40 units per acre (Rosemount) and greater than 60 units per acre in
Eden Prairie.
The applicant provided the City of Plymouth's RMF-4 zoning ordinance as a
reference, which permits 20 units per acre and structures 45' in height. Concept
plans provided by the applicant are 300 units, which equates to 24 units per acre.
Several of the ordinances reviewed by staff allow densities greater than the
maximum density with the use of a PUD.
Planning staff believes there is a need for additional multiple family housing
development within the City to provide additional housing options for residents
near commercial and employment areas and also to provide a way to take advantage
of existing and future transit service. The applicant has provided staff with two
concepts, one with four 75-unit buildings and one with five 60-unit buildings, both
concepts contemplate buildings that have enclosed parking and three levels of living
space. The concepts are not under review at this time, they are strictly a reference to
depict how the site could develop at a certain density.
Staff considered Shakopee's current R-3 language and portions of other city codes
when drafting proposed R-4 regulations. Staff has drafted 3 different sets of
regulations for the R-4 zone to take different areas of the community into account.
One is the base zoning for R-4, R-4T is for lots in close proximity to public transit
stations, and R-4D for lots near the downtown and riverfront area. A map depicting
areas eligible for the R-4D requirements is attached.
Notable differences between the three categories are the allowance for greater
density near transit and the downtown area. The regulations for the downtown area
allow for smaller lot sizes, reduced setbacks, reduced required parking and greater
maximum impervious surface allowance due to the size of existing lots and the
existing development patterns in the area. The downtown area is generally
described as the area north of 3rd Avenue, northeast of the intersection of 3rd
Avenue and CSAH 69, and west of Sarazin Street (Memorial Park).
The draft R-4 language also allows for density bonuses for developments near
public park and open space areas and developments that provide a larger amount of
amenities for residents, as well as a reduction in off-street parking requirements for
sites near transit facilities. The draft ordinance also has reduced off-street parking
requirements for developments near the downtown and riverfront that are on
smaller existing lots and are on streets with available on-street parking.
Planning Commission Recommendation:
At the December 3rd meeting, the Planning Commission voted 6-i to give the
proposed text amendment a positive recommendation as presented. Concerns from
the dissenting commissioner were in regard to the proposed densities and structure
height.
Action Sought:
Approve Ordinance No. 925, the creation of the R-4, High Density Residential
District and move its adoption.

Section 2. The City Council adopts the following findings of fact relating to the request to add
the language in the City's zoning ordinance that creates the R-4, High Density Residential
District.
Criteria#1 That the original zoning ordinance is in error;
Finding#1 The original zoning ordinance is not in error, there is not a provision for higher
density residential housing in the community than 14 units/acre.
Criteria#2 That significant changes in community goals and policies have taken place;
Finding#2 Significant changes in community goals and policies have taken place. The
demand for multiple family housing in both the Twin Cities and Shakopee has
increased. The City has placed greater emphasis on finding new areas for
multiple family housing because of the lack of available properties for multiple
family residential and the increased market demand.
Finding#3 The proposed R-4 district allows for more efficient utilization of land when
infrastructure and surrounding development support high density residential
development.
Finding#4 The proposed R-4 district also allows for the potential redevelopment of areas
near the downtown and riverfront area, which has been a goal of the City.
Criteria#3 That significant changes in City-wide or neighborhood development patterns have
occurred;
Finding#5 Significant changes in development patterns have not occurred.
Criteria#4 That the Comprehensive Plan requires a different provision;
Finding#6 The Comprehensive Plan does not require a different provision.
Section 3. Effective Date. This ordinance shall be in effect from and after the date of its
passage and publication.
Adopted in session of the City Council of the City of Shakopee, Minnesota held
this day of , 2015.

Published in the Shakopee Valley News on the day of , 2015.
Applicant Narrative:
The rezoning of Southbridge Crossings to R-4 provides great opportunity for the City to follow
Smart Growth principals as it promotes high density growth in an established compact, walkable
urban center. The Southbridge Crossing development will also be a transit-orientated and
walkable center with mixed used development that will offer a range of housing choices and
many employment opportunities. The site also has great access to major transit corridors and
will promote housing opportunities which will assist the community to meet the housing needs
for the growing employment which is vital for employers.
As the growth of Shakopee continues, multifamily housing will be an important need for the
