Review Draft Comprehensive Plan
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City is required to update its Comprehensive Plan every ten years. As part of
the update process, the City must submit the draft Comprehensive Plan to all
adjacent governmental units for a review period of up to six months. Prior to
distributing the Comprehensive Plan for jurisdictional review, staff is presenting
the draft elements to City Council for an initial review. Because of the size of the
packet, the plan will not be in an electronic format but rather a hard copy.
City Council reviewed the Housing, Historic Preservation, Natural Resources,
Parks and Open Space and Transportation elements at the September 10th City
Council meeting. The following elements will now be reviewed: Introduction,
Land Use, Sewer, Water and Capital Improvements. After review of the elements
by the City Council, any changes will be made and the plan will be put into a
publishing style format for distribution.
Introduction
The introduction provides a general overview and framework for the City of
Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan.
Land Use
The land use plan identifies appropriate locations for all types of uses and
provides for the orderly expansion of municipal services through the Metropolitan
Urban Service Area (MUS A) phasing plan. The land use plan provides the
framework for the way the land is used. The plan deals with the following issues:
. Development influences on the City.
. The estimated consumption of land in five-year increments.
. Comparison of the 2020 Land Use Plan and the 2030 Land Use Plan (a
separate sheet reviews the list of proposed changes to the land use map).
. Discussion of each of the land use designations. An extensive section of
the proposed commercial districts resulting from the Chanhassen Retail
Market Study is included.
The City 01 Chanhassen · A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play,

. MUSA staging. It should be noted that the land use element incorporates two MUSA
stages, 2010 and 2015. The Sewer Element contains three stages: 2010,2015 and 2020.
. Goals and Policies. Sanitary Sewer
The Sanitary Sewer Comprehensive plan covers the future extensions of municipal service to
future development areas. The plan deals with the following issues:
. Organized and cost-effective plan to extend sewer service to development areas of the
community
o Plan is based on anticipated land use, population growth and anticipated growth
corridors
· Maintenance and upkeep of the existing sanitary sewer infrastructure
. Reduction efforts for Inflow and Infiltration
. Capital Improvements Plan
Water
The Water Comprehensive plan covers the future extensions of municipal service to future
development areas. The plan deals with the following issues:
. Organized and cost-effective plan to extend water service to development areas of the
community
o Plan is based on anticipated land use, population growth, anticipated growth corridors,
and estimated future water demand
. Future needs for wells, storage and treatment facilities
. Maintenance and upkeep of the existing water infrastructure
. Capital Improvements Plan
Capital Improvements
This element contains a summary of the capital improvements that are estimated to implement
the Comprehensi ve Plan for the next ten years. It pulls together the recommendations of the
various elements to provide an overview of the capital costs. The Capital Improvement element
is designed to show the magnitude and timing for the construction of public improvements and
provide a guide for future capital budgeting in the community. However, the City will adopt a
separate, five-year capital improvement program annually.
RECOMMENDA TION
Staff requests that City Council review the elements and provide comments and direction for any
changes to the elements. Staff requests that City Council authorize the distribution of the
Comprehensive Plan for jurisdictional review.
