Regional/Lifestyle Center Commercial - Preference Survey
SUMMARY
Staff is looking to the Planning Commission to provide direction on the
development of the Regional/Lifestyle Center Commercial District regulations.
Staff intends to develop some guiding principles and ideas prior to the actual
development of this area. Our desire is to be proactive in the development of this
future gateway to the community, rather than reacting to future development
proposals. Additionally, some of the information received from this exercise may
be useful in amending the City Code and be applicable in other areas of the City,
e.g., Commercial or Multi-Family Design Standards. Staff has prepared a
PowerPoint presentation and a survey to solicit the Planning Commission's input
regarding the development of this center.
BACKGROUND
On November 10, 2008, the Chanhassen City Council adopted the 2030 Comprehensive
Plan. One component of that plan was the creation of the regional/lifestyle center.
The City must adopt this new district as required by the land planning act.
2.7.4 Regional/Lifestyle Center Commercial
A mixed-commercial district with retail and entertainment uses of a scale and
function that serves a regional market. The physical environment emphasizes an
attractive comfortable walking experience for shoppers and visitors and is
designed to serve trail users and mass transit as well as automobile traffic.
Centers of this type have at least two major retail anchors and are characterized by
the diversity and mix of retail and service uses within their boundaries. Uses
within this district should complement existing retail users in the other
commercial districts.
Development of these centers shall be planned as a group of organized uses and
structures to accommodate a sensitive transition between commercial activities
such as loading, parking of automobiles, lighting and trash collection and
surrounding residential uses. Such centers shall be designed with one theme, with
similar architectural style, similar exterior building materials, and a coordinated
landscaping theme.

A new zoning district RC (Regional/Lifestyle Center
Commercial) will be created in the City Code to
implement this land use. The City has given a dual
land use of the 160 acres at the southeast comer of
Powers and Lyman Boulevards to accommodate this
use.
The 2030 Land Use Plan guides this area for
commercial and/or office.

DISCUSSION
The development of this regional/lifestyle center could occur through the use of existing zoning
including the Office and Institutional District, 01, the existing commercial zoning districts, the
creation of a Planned Unit Development District, PUD, or the adoption of a new zoning district,
Regional/Lifestyle Center Commercial, RC.
OFFICE
While the City envisions this area developing as a mixed-use area, it could develop as a strictly
office district. Should that occur, the use of the 01 district would constrain the type and intensity
of development.
"01" Office and Institutional District
The intent of the "01" District is to provide for public or quasi-public nonprofit uses and
professional business and administrative offices.
Limitations: Uses are very limited and lean toward public or institutional. Setbacks may not
permit the creation of street walls or public realm spaces. Building height is limited to two
stories, which would not permit intensive use of the land.
COMMERCIAL
Should this area develop as commercial, then, depending on the City's preference, the Business
and Highway Services District, BH, or Central Business District, CBD, may be appropriate
zoning categories
"BH" Highway and Business Services District
The intent of the "BH" District is to provide for highway oriented commercial development
restricted to a low building profile.
Limitations: This zoning district is oriented to the automobile. Setbacks may not permit the
creation of street walls or public realm spaces. Building height is limited to two stories, which
would not permit intensive uses of the land. This district is, generally, not conducive to an
attractive, comfortable walking experience.
"CBD" Central Business District
The intent of the "CBD" District is to provide for downtown business development supporting a
strong central business district while enhancing the overall character of the community in
conformance with downtown redevelopment plan, goals and objectives.
Limitations: This zoning may not lead to the overall design and layout that the City wants for
the area and it would not assure that the center be designed with one theme and with similar

architectural style. Further, the use of this zoning district may not provide sufficient ability to
complement existing commercial uses.
MIXED USE
Should the area develop with mixed commercial, office and, potentially, residential uses, then a
Planned Unit Development may be an appropriate zoning category. The PUD requires extensive
negotiation. However, if the City has established its preferences, these negotiations could be
better controlled by the City.
PUD, Planned Unit Development
Planned unit developments offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of
most normal zoning district standards. The use of the PUD zoning also allows for a greater
variety of uses, internal transfers of density, construction phasing and a potential for lower
development costs. In exchange for this enhanced flexibility, the City has the expectation that
the development plan will result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal
than would have been the case with the use of other, more standard zoning districts. It will be
the applicant's responsibility to demonstrate that the City's expectation is to be realized as
evaluated against the following criteria. Planned unit developments are to encourage the
following:
(1) Preservation of desirable site characteristics and open space and protection of sensitive
environmental features, including steep slopes, mature trees, creeks, wetlands, lakes and
scemc VIews.
(2) More efficient and effective use of land, open space and public facilities through mixing of
land uses and assembly and development of land in larger parcels.
(3) High quality of design and design compatible with surrounding land uses, including both
existing and planned. Site planning, landscaping and building architecture should reflect
higher quality design than is found elsewhere in the community.
(4) Sensitive development in transitional areas located between different land uses and along
significant corridors within the city.
(5) Development which is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
(6) Parks and open space. The creation of public open space may be required by the city. Such
park and open space shall be consistent with the comprehensive park plan and overall trail
plan.
(7) Provision of housing affordable to all income groups if appropriate within the PUD.
(8) Energy conservation through the use of more efficient building designs and sightings and the
clustering of buildings and land uses.
(9) Use of traffic management and design techniques including the provision of transit and
pedestrian linkages to reduce the potential for traffic conflicts. Improvements to area roads
and intersections may be required as appropriate. Where appropriate, the use of
transportation demand management strategies may be required within a project.
