MEMORANDUM
TO:
Todd Gerhardt, City Manger
FROM:
DATE:
Bob Generous, Senior Planner
November 24, 2003
SUB J:
Adoption of Ordinance, Chapter 15 Chanhassen City Code,
Planning and Development; Approval of Summary Ordinance for
Publication Purposes
ACTION REQUIRED
A simple majority vote of City Council members present is required to adopt the
amendment; however, a 4/5ths vote is required for approval of the summary
ordinance for publication purposes.
BACKGROUND
Over the past two years, the city has been reviewing proposed changes to City
Code. Our overall intent is to try to make the code easier to understand and use
by addressing problems, overlapping code requirements, clarifying ordinance
language, procedures or processes, and consolidation. The proposed changes to
Chapter 15 have been reviewed previously by the Chanhassen Planning
Commission and City Council.
SUMMARY
This chapter deals with the Planning Commission and official maps. Changes
are proposed to correctly cite state statutes and delete unnecessary language.
The Planning Commission structure is being consolidated in Chapter 15.
Staff believes that these changes are primarily administrative, rather than
substantive, in nature and is recommending approval of the amendment.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance for
Chapter 15 of the Chanhassen City Code; and approve the summary ordinance
for publication purposes.

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 15
CHANHASSEN CITY CODE,
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA ORDAINS:
Section 1. Chapter 15, Article II of the City Code, City of Chanhassen, Minnesota, is
hereby repealed.
Section 2. Section 15-20 of the City Code, City of Chanhassen, Minnesota, is hereby
amended to read as follows:
Land that is needed for future street purposes and as sites for other necessary public
facilities and services is frequently diverted to nonpublic uses which would have been
located on other lands without hardship or inconvenience to the owners. When this
happens, public uses of land may be denied or may be obtained only at prohibitive cost or
at the expense of dislocating the owners and occupants of the land. Identification on an
official map of land needed for future public uses permits both the public and private
property owners to adjust their building plans equitably and conveniently before
investments are made which will make such adjustments difficult to accomplish. It is the
purpose of this article to provide a uniform procedure for the proper use of official maps
as authorized by the Minnesota Municipal Planning Act, Minnesota Statutes, sections
462.351 to 462.364.
Section 3. Chapter 15, Article III, Section 15-29 of the City Code, City of Chanhassen,
Minnesota, is hereby repealed.
Section 4. This ordinance shall be effective immediately upon its passage and
publication.
