MEMORANDUM
TO:
Scott Botcher, City Manager
FROM:
Bob Generous, Senior Planner
DATE: June 23, 1998
SUB J:
Interpretation of Development Design Standards, Arboretum
Business Park
REQUEST
Steiner Development has requested that the City Council make an interpretation
of the Development Design Standards for Arboretum Business Park to determine
if New Christian Fellowship could occupy a building within the development.
The developer interprets the proposed use as office and assembly which they
believe is permitted by the design standards.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of the Arboretum Business Park Planned Unit Development (PUD) is
to create a light industrial/office park.
The design standards for Arboretum Business Park under review are as follows:
b. Permitted Uses
The permitted uses in this zone should be limited to light industrial, warehousing,
and office as defined below. The uses shall be limited to those defined herein. If
there is a question as to whether or not a use meets the definition, the City Council
shall make that interpretation ....
Office - Professional and business office.
DISCUSSION
While churches are a permitted interim use in Industrial Office Park, IOP, districts
within the city, they are listed as a distinct use from office. The church assembly
use requested by the proposed tenant requires separate fire and building code,
parking, and zoning review, than is required for an office user. If the church only
proposed occupying the building for office uses, then they would have been
permitted in the development.
Cio., of Chanhassen. A growing communi~/ with clean lakes, qua/icy schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play.

Had the developer and the city intended to include churches as a use within the Arboretum
Business Park PUD, churches could have been designated as a permitted or ancillary use as part
of the PUD. Churches are a listed use in all other zoning districts in the city, either as a
permitted, conditional, or interim use. A church use within the Arboretum Business Park PUD is
a discretionary decision for the city to decide.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council not interpret the church assembly use as an approved use
within the Arboretum Business Park PUD.

Dear Kate:
Steiner Development has negotiated a 4,400 SF lease with the New Life Christian Fellowship for office and
assembly space in the Arboretum Business Park Building 2. As documented in Arboretum Business Park
Development Contract/PUD Agreement the assembly use must be approved by the City Council.
We request that the City formally review this matter as soon as possible.
The New Life Christian Fellowship is presently located at the Chanhassen Elementary school. The Reverend
Don Finger is the Pastor and the church has approximately sixty members of which 25 reside in Chanhassen.
Thank you for considering this matter.
Sincerely,
4/22/97
