Michael Leek, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Tour Moratorium Chronology Draft Ordinances Draft of Commercial Zoning District Regulations MEETING DATE: July 27, 1999 INTRODUCTION: Tour: The joint meeting is scheduled to begin at 5:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. Attendees will board the tour bus at 5:30 p.m. in front of City Hall. The tour route will include new commercial and industrial developments, as well as recent residential projects. At the end of the tour, the bus will, of course, return to City Hall. Moratorium Chronology: With half of the moratorium period having passed, it is appropriate to review what has occurred to date. Accompanying this memo is a chronology, including possible future meeting dates and topics, for the Council and Commission's information. Draft Ordinances: Also accompanying this memorandum are copies of the materials provided at the last workshop. There will be about one half hour before the scheduled tour for the Council and Commission to share with staff any comments they may have on the proposed text amendments and commercial district texts. Draft of Commercial District Regulations: During the moratorium study process, the Council has directed that staff prepare proposed regulations for additional commercial zoning districts. The intent is create a variety of districts that more accurately reflect the Comprehensive Plan's intent in establishing commercial guiding. A copy of draft regulations is attached for the Council's and Commission's information, consideration, and discussion. In discussing the proposed district regulations, the Council should consider where in the City it would be appropriate to establish such zones. The difficulty is that there are significant areas nearby in adjacent communities that are guided for commercial uses. Staff will have a map available at the meeting which will help visualize where these areas are. In the chronology accompanying this memo, staff has suggested that future workshop topics would include a discussion of standards for conditional uses in the districts and the actual identification of areas to be guided for the new districts. ACTION REQUESTED: Provide staff with any additional direction that the Council and Commission feel is appropriate regarding the items detailed above.

CITY OF SHAKOPEE Memorandum TO: Mayor and City Council Planning Commission/Board of Adjustments and Appeals Mark McNeill, City Administrator FROM: R. Michael Leek, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Draft of Action Strategies from the May 26, 1999 Joint Meeting MEETING DATE: June 22, 1999 INTRODUCTION: At the May 26, 1999 meeting direction was provided to staff regarding the general action strategies that were identified. Following are further developed proposals and/or language for the Council and Commission's review and further reaction and input. Transitions to and from single family zoning districts/Physical Buffering: These items are described in more detail in Julie Klima's memorandum. Commercial Districts: Staff is continuing to work on the development of additional district regulations, but a full draft was not complete and available for this meeting. More PUD Control: The PUD issue is addressed in Julie Klima's memo, a copy of which is attached for the Council's and Commission's review. Accompanying this memorandum is a proposed revision to City Code Sec. 11.85 regarding the process for granting site plan approval. In addition, the "Conditional Use" sections of each of the zoning districts would be re-titled, as well as Secs. 11.86 to 11.88 pertaining to conditional use standards for each of the use categories. Finally, Sec. 11.84. Board of Adjustment and Appeals, Subd. l.A. would need to be revised or deleted. Commission/Board Streamlining: At the last session staff proposed combining the functions of the Planning Commission and Board of Adjustments and Appeals into a single Planning Commission. Staff suggested combining the bodies could result in a number of procedural efficiencies. Staff's analysis of the advantages and disadvantages (which you may have already received) is provided below. Pros Cons The Board *One, rather than two agendas *Less opportunity to serve as chair of a board *Easier to schedule related items *If site plan review is also together on an evening's agenda implemented, board is advisory instead of the initial decider of some items *Potentially easier to keep discussions focused between types of applications Staff *Agendas and reports simplified *None *Easier to schedule items that are related Citizens *Less confusion about what board hears*None which items *Scheduling of related items together should lessen the time commitment for persons wishing to testify City Council *If site plan review is also implemented, *None Council given review which it now only has on appeal Staff's further review of both state statute and the City Code suggests that no formal action in the form of City Code amendments is required to accomplish this streamlining. Minnesota statute gives the Council the authority to create a"planning agency," which may take the form of a planning commission. (Minn.Stat. 462.354, 1991) That same section requires any city having a zoning ordinance to establish a "board of adjustments and appeals," and further provides that a planning commission may serve as the board of adjustments and appeals. (Minn.Stat. 462.354, Subd. 2, 1991) Shakopee City Code Sec. 2.52 establishes a planning commission. City Code Sec. 2.53 provides that "The Board of Adjustments and Appeals shall be the Planning Commission." A copy of these sections is attached for the Council's and Commission's information. The City Code does not in any way require that there be 2 separate boards that convene at separate times. Staff's belief is that all that may be required that is agreement to institute the change, and perhaps motions by the respective bodies to implement the change. DRAFT SEC. 11.85.

CITY OF SHAKOPEE Memorandum TO: Shakopee City Council Shakopee Planning Commission FROM: Julie Klima, Planner II SUBJECT: Proposed Amendments to Zoning Ordinance DATE: June 22, 1999 INTRODUCTION As part of a previous worksession, the Council and Commission identified issues, that if implemented, would require amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. The areas of concerns were identified as follows: 1. requiring buffering by residential uses when abutting higher density or conflicting land uses and/or high capacity roadways; 2. allowing mixed uses (such as residential/commercial) as part of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) overlay zone and providing more specific guidelines for mixed use residential developments; 3. clarifying the differences between single family detached and single family attached residential structures; 4. addition and/or revision of commercial zoning districts to distinguish between neighborhood/community/regional commercial uses; 5. addition of minimum open space requirements for residential developments which are allowed to develop with densities within the medium and high ranges. DISCUSSION In an attempt to address the concerns identified above, staff is proposing the following changes to the City Code. Language which is underlined is proposed for addition, language which is stt kthrough is proposed for deletion. ISSUE NO. 1 Section 11.60, (Performance Standards) Subd. 7 (Screening) H. Residential properties which adjoin existing or proposed residential densities higher than themselves, commercial, industrial or abut collector and/or arterial roadway shall provide berming at a minimum height of 4 feet with overstory deciduous and coniferous landscaping units. This requirement shall also apply to residential properties which are separated only by a roadway(s) from the previously noted uses. ISSUE NO. 2 Section 11.50 (Planned Unit Development District) of the City Code does currently allow for the development of mixed use PUD's. In order to make that point more clear to the development community, staff is proposing that the individual applicable zoning districts be amended to include in its list of Permitted Uses the following item: Single and Mixed Use Developments which comply with Section 11.50 and have received approval as such from the City Council. It is recommended that the proposed language be incorporated into the following zoning districts: • Low Density Residential (R-1A) Zone; • Urban Residential (R-1B)Zone; • Old Shakopee Residential (R-1C) Zone; • Medium Density Residential (R2) Zone; • High Density Residential (R3) Zone; • Highway Business (B1) Zone; • Office Business (B2) Zone; • Central Business (B3)Zone; • Light Industrial (I1)Zone; • Heavy Industrial (12) Zone; • Major Recreation (MR) Zone; and • Business Park (BP) Zone. With regard to more specific guidelines for residential mixed use developments, staff is requesting that the Council/Commission provide further direction on the desired approach(es). ISSUE NO. 3 Both the Council and Commission have dedicated significant discussion to single family and multiple family development. In an effort to more clearly define those uses and utilize practices consistent with the Metropolitan Council, staff is proposing that definitions for Single Family Detached Dwelling and Single Family Attached Dwelling be provided in the Zoning Ordinance, as follows. Section 11.02 (Definitions) Single Family Attached Dwelling - a dwelling sharing one or more common walls with an adjoining dwelling unit, which is designed for and occupied exclusively by one family. Single Family Detached Dwelling - a dwelling unit which has open space on all sides and is designed for and occupied exclusively by one family. Multiple Family Dwelling - a dwelling unit which shares one or more common walls, as well, as common ceiling and/or floor with adjoining dwelling unit(s), which is designed for and occupied exclusively by one family. If these definitions were to be adopted as written, twin home and townhouse units would be classified as single family attached dwelling units. Structures such as apartment buildings would be classified as multiple family dwellings. The individual zoning districts would then need to be amended to allow for the revised language. Staff would suggest that Single Family detached dwelling units be allowed as a permitted use in the following zones: • Agricultural Preservation (AG) Zone; • Rural Residential (RR)Zone; • Low Density Residential (R-1A) Zone; • Urban Residential (R-1B)Zone; • Old Shakopee Residential (R-1C) Zone; • Medium Density Residential (R2)Zone; and • High Density Residential (R3) Zone. Staff would further suggest that single family attached units be allowed as permitted uses as follows: • Structures containing two attached dwelling units in the Old Shakopee Residential (R- 1C) Zone, Medium Density Residential (R2)Zone; and High Density Residential (R3) Zone. • Structures containing two to four attached dwelling units in the Medium Density Residential (R2) Zone; and High Density Residential (R3) Zone. • Structures containing more than four attached dwelling units in the High Density Residential (R3) Zone. Multiple family dwellings could then be allowed as a permitted use in the High Density Residential (R3)Zone. ISSUE NO. 4 The evaluation of the current commercial zoning districts and requested revisions will require additional staff time and will be brought back to the Council and Commission at a later date. ISSUE NO. 5 Staff would recommend adding minimum open space requirements to the Design Standards of the Medium Density(R2) and High Density (R3)Zones. The Council and Commission should discuss the specific amount of open space it wishes to require. As a point of reference, the PUD process requires 15% of the gross project area to be designated for open space purposes. The Council and Commission should also discuss if it is preferable to allow one requirement for both zones or if a higher open space requirement should be utilized for higher density projects. ACTION REQUESTED Discuss and provide staff with direction on the preferred alternatives.
