SUB J: Use Clarification
As part of the Chapter 20 revision, staff is working to clarify the uses permitted in
each zoning district. Staff has formulated a matrix to simplify the process of
determining what uses are permitted uses, conditional uses, accessory uses, and
interim uses in each district. Staff used the Standard Industrial Classification
(SIC) Manual when classifying each use, in order to clarify and consolidate uses
that are considered similar.
Attached is the matrix which combines some uses into a single category for
clarification purposes. This process of combining uses was based both on
similarity of use as well as the SIC Manual.
We will be discussing these items related to Use Clarification at the Planning
Commission meeting, July 1, 2003. The intent of the discUssion is to give staff
direction and clarification on uses and zoning districts. -
Staff is recommending the attached changes to Chapter 20. 'Staff is looking to the
Planning Commission to review the following recommendations and provide
comments, suggestions, and any other input for additional changes. Staff is also
requesting that the Planning CommisSion review the listed uses in the districts to
determine if uses should be added or deleted.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at
(952) 227-1131.
The City of 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.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Combine under "Public Parks/Open Space"(See definition) *P-A2, P-RR,
P-RSF, P-R4, P-R8, P-R12, P-R16, P-BF, P-OI

b. Open Space P-A2, P-RR, P-RSF, P-R4, P-R8, P-R12, P-R26
c. Public Recreational Facility P-OI
*By combining Public Parks and Open Space Public Parks would be added as a
permitted use in the RSF, OI districts. While Open Space would be added as a
permitted use in the OI district. Public Recreational Facilities would be
permitted in A2, RR, RSF, R4, R8, R12, R16, and BF districts. Public Parks and
Open Space are currently located in Single Family Residential districts as well as
in Office and Institutional district as schools are permitted in that district,
currently they are nonconforming uses.

IOP
a. Auto Service Center C-BH
b. Body Shop, P-IOP
c. Major Auto Repair and Body Shop, C-BG
*The above uses conduct essentially the same services and could reduce confusion
when applicants are applying/or use permits. All three individual uses are
covered under a single SIC code classification. By combining the uses as one
classification Automotive Service Center would be added as a conditional use in
the BG district and permitted in the IOP district, Body Shop would be added as
a conditional use in the BH and BG districts. Major Auto. Repair and Body Shop
would be added as a conditional use in the BH district and permitted in the IOP
district.

c. Retail Shops P-BH, P-CBD

*All o/the above individUal uses can be classified under a single use. Staff does
not feel that any one use should be excluded/rom any o/the above districts. By

be classified separately from the "Specialty Retail" classification, even though it is
classified under the same SIC group number 59.

individual uses are permitted in the same district, however, Offices are permitted
in more districts, Staff feels that Professional Offices and Professional Bossiness
and Admin Offices could be located in more districts. Staff also feels that Offices
could be a permitted use in the BN and OI districts. By combining the above uses
under "Offices" Professional Offices would be added as a permitted use in the
BN, BH, CBD, BG, and IOP districts, Professional Business and Admin Offices
would be added as permitted uses in the BN, BH, CBD, BG, and IOP districts.

b. Boat Sales P-BG, P-BF
c. Recreational Vehicle Sales P-BG
d. Truck Sales P-BG, P-BF
*Staff feels that all of the above uses are types of automotive dealers and that they
could be classified as one use. By combining the above individual uses under
"Automotive Dealers" Recreational Vehicle Sales would be added as a conditional
use in the BF district. This would make all "Automotive Dealers" a conditional
use.

c. Self-Service Laundry P-BN

Combining under "Temporary Outdoor Sales" See Sec. 20-290 A-BN, A-
BH, A-CBD, A-BG, A-BF, A-OI
a. Temporary Outdoor Display not in any district-Criteria in CUP
section.
*Staff feels that a Temporary Outdoor Display is a type of outdoor sale, therefore
it could be classified as such. By combining, Temporary Outdoor Display would
be an accessory use in BN, BH, CBD, BG, BF, and OI districts. Staff would like
discussion regarding whether these uses should be classified together or
separately.
10. Community Center would include Senior Center
*Staff feels that the senior center should be included in the use classification ora
community center. By definition a Community Center includes a Senior Center.
11. Change Mobile Home to Manufactured Home
*Staff feels that Manufactured Home is a more correct term than mobile home.
Changes in technology and the manufacturing processes have increased the
quality and durability of manufactured homes.
12. Motor Fuel Station add C-BN district remove C-BF district
