Land Use Plan Amendment
February 20, 2001

PROPOSAL SUMMARY
As required by the 1995 amendment to the Metropolitan Land Planning Act, the city is required
to bring zoning into compliance with land use. As part of the review of the Walnut Grove
development, the city stated that the Hennessey property should be developed as a townhouse
project. However, at that time, the property owner was not a party t6 the development proposal.
Currently, the extreme southern portion of the site is guided for residential - medium density.
The southern portion of the site is also encumbered with the Bluff Creek Overlay primary zone.
The site contains approximately three acres of land. Of this amount, approximately one-third of
the site is within the Bluff Creek primary zone, including the creek and the ravine and woodlands
adjacent to it. As part of any development proposal, the developer would be required to show
what type of development would have been possible if not for the overlay district restrictions.
The developer would then be permitted to transfer these units to other portions of the project. If
this were not possible, the developer would need a variance to permit use of this portion of the
property that would be developable if not for the overlay district restrictions. Areas that are not
developable such as bluffs, streams, or wetlands are not eligible for density calculations.
The land use amendment is consistent with city approvals of the development of the surrounding
property and the use of the site for townhouses would be compatible with the Walnut Grove
development. An isolated residential - low density site is not a prefen'ed development option for
the property.
BACKGROUND
Staff is processing amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning map to ensure they are
consistent and this will be one of the changes that will be processed. The recommendation is to
re-guide the property from low density residential to medium density residential. The zoning
would remain Agricultural Estate District, A2, until such time as the property was proposed for
development. Appropriate zoning of medium density residential land is R4, Mixed Low Density
Residential, at a maximum density of 4 units per acre, R8, Mixed Medium Density Residential,
at a maximum density of 8 units per acre, or PUD-R, Planned Unit Development Residential, at a
maxinmm density of 8 units per acre.

DISCUSSION
The Hmmessey parcels are isolated Residential - Low Density parcels surrounded by and in the
future accessed ttn'ough medium density residential land. A portion of the property is currently
guided for Residential - Medium Density. Additionally, the southern third of the property is
impacted by the Bluff Creek Overlay district, precluding developmenf unless a density transfer is
approved or requiring that a variance be provided. Approval of the Land Use gnnendment from
Residential - Low Density to Residential - Medium Density is consistent with the past approval of
the development of the SmTounding property as a townhouse development. The Walnut Grove
development was developed at a net density of 5.77 units per acre. The property directly to the
south of the parcel is guided for Commercial, Residential -Medium Density, and Parks and Open
Space. The property south of these parcels will most likely develop as neighborhood conm~ercial.
The Plam~ing Staff held an open house at the Chanhassen Recreation Center on Tuesday, January
23. 2001. to discuss land use and zoning inconsistencies. This property was one of the properties
that were discussed as being up for change. The property owner is vm5' supportive of the idea.
This amendment v¢ill make the Land Use designation of the property the same as the surrounding
property. It would also permit the density transfer permitted within the Bluff Creek Overlay
district.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Plarming Commission adopt the following motion:
"The Plmming Connnission recommends approval the land use map amendment of the propmty at
7305 Galpin Boulevard from Residential - Low Density to Residential - Medium Density."
