Mayor of the City of Shakopee ATTEST: City Clerk G:\CC\2004\08-17\RESN06102compplan.doc Historic Commercial Districts Riverfront/First A venue District MIXED USE A mixed land use is proposed on both north and south of First Avenue. This land use classification is reflective of existing uses in the area and provides the City with some flexibility in evaluating its future redevelopment options. The area along First Avenue has an eclectic land use pattern that includes both residential and commercial land uses. The mixed land use classification will allow these existing uses to continue as conforming uses. The future range of uses proposed within this mixed use area will be commercial land uses as well a variety of residential housing types designed in a manner that accomplishes the City's streetscape and design intentions. Within the area, there exists a number of older homes that have historic architectural value that may offer opportunities for renovation and continued uses of residential homes or reuse as commercial or office land uses in the future. Through the establishment of the mixed use land use classification and subsequently change in zoning that will reflect the mixed use intentions, existing homes that are currently non-conforming under the commercial zoning classifications will be allowed as permitted uses, thus permitting the property owners opportunities for reinvestment of their homes and maintenance of their structures beyond means of retaining value and promoting a more desirable residential neighborhood. lOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL The Riverfront/First Avenue District includes a number of low density single family areas. The following strategies address the low density land uses: 1. With a mixed land use classification, the City has the intention of allowing for a range of residential and commercial land uses within the same area. Within the mixed use zoning classification, performance standards will be established to ensure compatible land use relationships between the different uses. 2. The City will amend its zoning to allow single family homes as a use within the mixed use area designated within the Riverfront/First Avenue District. Existing single-family homes will no longer be non-conforming and may be maintained and expanded as a means of retaining value and promoting reinvestment in these neighborhoods. City of Shakopee Comprehensive Plan Update 119 GROWTH STAGING PLAN/METROPOLlT AN URBAN SERVICE AREA The amount and pace of future urban growth will be directly related to the supply of buildable land and utility service availability. Shakopee is reliant on regional sanitary sewer and the allocation of Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) from the Metropolitan Council. Most of Shakopee has been placed in the region's illustrative 2020 MUSA according to Metropolitan Council's Regional Blueprint. In this respect, expanded urban growth within Shakopee is. consistent with regional policy. The City Wide Land Use Map illustrates the proposed phased expansion of the City's MUSA. This phasing plan is based on an analysis of the City's ability to extend sanitary sewer and storm sewer utilities to various geographic areas of the City, as well as other factors such as roadway development and proximity of development. Infill of the existing MUSA will be a City priority with phased expansions being undertaken based on land use, transportation and utility infrastructure priorities. The phased approach contained in the City Wide Land Use Plan map may be varied from if the City makes specific. affirmative findinos relative to the followino ooals and policies. 1. Growth and expansion of that portion of Shakopee served by public services shall be controlled and focused to. maintain the City's fiscal soundness consistent with other community-wide ooals. Policies: a. New areas will be added to MUSA only when that desionation is consistent with Goal 1 above. b. Areas to be added to MUSA shall be located where utilities and community facilities can be efficiently located or extended. c. Desionation of MUSA areas will be timed to enhance the City's ability to plan for, develop. and/or acquire new utilities and public facilities. d. The addition of new MUSA areas shall either be timed to coincide with the availability of utilities and community facilities. or be coordinated with plans to provided utilities and community facilities. e. The City will find that new MUSA areas will be suitable for development within the timeframe beino considered. f. Desionation of new MUSA areas shall be undertaken to better react to the marketplace and to serve the community as a whole. Goal 2. Any future annexation shall be undertaken in an orderly. fiscally sound manner. Property in annexed areas shall be treated fairly relative to taxes and the provision of service. Policies: a. New areas will be added to MUSA only when that desionation is consistent with Goal 1 above. b. Areas to be added to MUSA shall be located where utilities and community facilities can be efficiently located or extended. c. Desionation of MUSA areas will be timed to enhance the City's ability to plan for, develop. and/or acouire new utilities and public facilities. d. The addition of new MUSA areas shall either be timed to coincide with the availability of utilities and community facilities, or be coordinated with plans to provided utilities and community facilities. e. The City will find that new MUSA areas will be suitable for development within the timeframe beino considered. f. Desionation of new MUSA areas shall be undertaken to better react to the marketplace and to serve the community as a whole. CITY OF SHAKOPEE Memorandum TO: Shakopee Planning Commission FROM: R.

Michael Leek, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Update MEETING DATE: May 6, 2004 INTRODUCTION: Staff submits the accompanying Comprehensive Plan Update (the Update) to the Planning Commission for public hearing, review and consideration. DISCUSSION: The Comprehensive Plan Update draft dated January 4, 2004 is submitted for public hearing and consideration by the Planning Commission and the City Council. By way of introduction, it is important to keep in mind those things which the Update is; . It is an addendum to the 1999 Comprehensive Plan; . It is an attempt to identify "end land uses" for the balance of the City and a portion of Jackson Township, with which the City has an orderly annexation agreement; . It is an attempt to identify phasing areas for the extension of Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA, i.e. those areas that may be served by sanitary sewer service; . It is an attempt to provide specific goals and objectives to help make sure that key areas of the older portion of the community remain vital, i.e.. Downtown, Riverfront/First Avene, and the Marschall Road area; . It is an attempt to develop a basic policy framework for the use and preservation of important natural resource areas identified in the City's Natural Resource Inventory (NRl); . It is an attempt to identify a general framework for the development of greenway connections in the community. It is equally important to keep in mind those things that the Update is not, i.e.; . The Update is not a complete and detailed update ofthe individual chapters ofthe 1999 Comprehensive Plan (transportation, storm water management, parks and open space, etc.); . The Update is not a blueprint for the actual development ofland in the City, but rather a guide to what types of land uses. should be located in which locations. Public Process to Date: G:\BOAA-PC\2004\05-06\CompPlanUpdate.doc 1 The first step in the process of developing this Update was to hold a series of open houses and interviews with community leaders before developing any concepts. The purpose of this. step was to elicit ideas from the community. Once the first step was completed, Northwest Associated Consultants (NAC) and city staff developed a summary of the input that had been received, and the first draft document. Once the draft had been prepared, a second round of open houses was held to elicit reaction to the concepts contained in the draft Update. A number of changes were made to the draft in response to comments received in these open houses. The revised draft was then sent to reviewing agencies, as required by the Metropolitan Land Planning Act (MLP A). Copies of the comments received during that 60-day review and comment period are attached for the Commission's information. For this public hearing, staff sent about 300 individual notices, primarily to persons and businesses in the Riverfront/First Avenue area. Key Elements of the Draft Update: Some of the most important concepts contained in the draft Update are the following; . End land use classifications for the balance ofthe City and a portion of Jackson Township, the majority of which is single-family residential (intended to mean densities up to 5 dwelling units per acre). The exception is an area north of proposed 17th Avenue and west ofCSAH 79, which bears a guiding of medium density residential. . Ageneral phased approach to allocating MUSA, i.e. 4 geographic areas where MUSA would be located in succession; . Goals and policies intended insure the continued success and vitality of the following areas; Downtown, Riverfront/First A venue, Marschall Road, and the West End; . A framework for Greenway development and natural resource use, preservation, and or enhancement. ALTERNATIVES: 1.

G:\BOAA-PC\2004\05-06\CompPlanUpdate.doc 2 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Depending on the type of testimony received, and discussion held by the Commission, staff recommends either Alternatives 1 and 2 (approval with or without revisions) or Alternative 4 (continuance for other information) ACTION REQUESTED: Offer a motion consistent with the Commission's wishes. R. Michael Leek Community Development Director G:\BOAA-PC\2004\05-06\CompP1anUpdate.doc 3 COMMENTS RECEIVED FROM ADJOINING JURISDICTIONS: Environmental Advisory Committee: Shakopee Public Utilities Commission: 1. The population forecasts in the 2004 Comprehensive Plan for 2010 and 2020 are unchanged from those used in the 2001 Comprehensive Water Plan (page 5). 2. The Scott County Proposed Land Use Plan for Jackson and Louisville Townships shows 9,359 acres identified as urban expansion area, commercial reserve or commercial industrial land (page 15). The proximity ofthis area to Shakopee makes the City the most likely municipal jurisdiction to provide utilities, services, and administration (page 19). This would likely included providing municipal water. 3. The phased expansion of the City's MUSA on page 25 shows Phase I to be the Jackson Township area south of 169 and west of County Road 79 and also the area west of County Road 69. The Phase IT area is the area south of County Road 16 in southeast Shakopee. No schedule is provided for MUSA expansion. 4. The strategies for managing the pace of growth and the City's investment in public infrastructure are listed on pages 31 through 34. These include an adequate well supply to service new development. 5. The west end/Jackson Township proposed land use is shown on page 73. The 2004 Comprehensive Plan recommends the City continue to work with Jackson Township through orderly annexation to bring this area into Shakopee (page 79). 6. "The township area in Phase I of2075 acres is 22 percent of the 9359-acre township area identified for urban expansion in the Scott County Proposed Land Use Plan for Jackson and Louisville Townships, which could ultimately be added to Shakopee." 7. "A preliminary plan shows the trunk water system's additions required to service the tonwhsip area in Phase 1. The major items are: 1. Six additional wells. ii. Booster pumping station for the 2- HES District. iii. Booster pumping station for the I-HES District. iv. Elevated storage tank for the 2-HES District. G:\BOAA-PC\2004\05-06\CompPlanUpdate.doc 4 v. Trunkwatermain loop from NES to area south of Highway 169 and to area west of County Road 69. vi. Normal trunk watermain extensions. vii. Possible water treatment plants. 8. "The water supply from the Jordan aquifer should be studied in detail for future annexation considerations. " 8. "The township areas should be charged the standard SPUC water trunk and water connection charges." 9. Prior Lake - Spring Lake Watershed District: 1. "The District encourages the City to incorporate these techniques [ low-impact development, open space preservation, infiltration, and alternative storm water management] into its Storm Water Management Plan whenever possible." 2. "The District encourages the formal selection ofthe [Prior Lake] Outlet Channel as a greenway corridor and the development and implementation of a plan to create the greenway." 3. "Finally, the District encourages the City to pursue its plans to require vegetative buffers along water features, as identified in item 1 (e) under the Environmental section of the Implementation Plan." 4. "In addition, the District suggests that the City consider including in its wetland mitigation policies an approach that emphasizes mitigating wetland losses with the immediate watershed. " City of Chanhassen: 1. The pn?posed interchange at County Road 69/169 and possible river crossing at said location is a concern because of the impacts to the Seminary Fen in Chanhassen. 2. Any proposed river crossing at the 69/169 interchange should avoid the fen in Chanhassen. i:\commdev\cc\2000\0418\FPBoldtAcres,doc G:\BOAA-PC\2004\05-06\CompPlanUpdate.doc 5 J' '(" ~ .,A' ~ (j,~ / ....'.
