LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION - MAKING:
The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving rezonings, PUDs and amendments
to PUDs because the City is acting in its legislative or policy - making capacity. A rezoning or
PUD, and amendment thereto, must be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Except as modified by the specific Planned Unit Development — Residential ordinance, the
property shall comply with the requirements of the City of Chanhassen City Code.

June 5, 2012
Page 2 of 4
BACKGROUND
PUD # 77 -01, Saratoga 1 St and 2 nd Additions (formerly Western Hills PUD)
November 7, 1977, the City approved a development contract as the regulating document for this
development. The final development includes 29 single - family and 6 two - family homes.
Lots 1 and 2 of Block 3, Lot 5, Block 2, and Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 1, Saratoga 1 St Addition may
be improved by the erection of two - family residential structures on each lot.
PUD zoning was used because property was previously rezoned to PUD as part of the Western
Hills subdivision.
REZONING
The City is requesting to rezone approximately 20 acres to Planned Unit Development -
Residential (PUD -R) to incorporate the unique development standards and referencing the Mixed
Low Density Residential District (R -4). The project consists of 35 units. The review criteria are
taken from the intent section of the PUD Ordinance.
Section 20 -501. Intent
Planned unit developments offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of
most normal zoning district standards. The use of the PUD in this instance is to permit single -
family detached and two unit structures. 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 other more standard zoning districts.
The proposed development provides a compatible development with the surrounding
development.
The proposed amendment and rezoning assist in the furtherance of the following land use goals
of the City of Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan:
• Development will be encouraged within the MUSA line.
• The plan should seek to establish sufficient land to provide a full range of housing
opportunities.
• The city will seek opportunities to provide transitions between different uses of different
types.
• Development should be phased in accordance with the ability of the city to provide services.
The proposed amendment and rezoning assist in the furtherance of the following housing goals
of the City of Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan:
Planning Commission
Saratoga 1" and 2 " Additions PUD Amendment & Rezoning
June 5, 2012
Page 3 of 4
• A balanced housing supply with housing available for people of all income levels.
• A variety of housing types for people in all stages of the life- cycle.
• Housing development that respects the natural environment of the community while striving
to accommodate the need for a variety of housing types and costs.
Staff is proposing the following development standards regulating the development of the
property:

architectural standards and site design. Ancillary uses may be permitted once a primary use has
occupied the site. Except as modified by the Saratoga 1 St Addition and Saratoga 2 " d Addition
PUD ordinance, the development shall comply with the requirements of the Mixed Low Density
Residential District (R -4).
b. Permitted Uses
The permitted uses in this zone shall be single - family detached and two -unit attached dwellings and
their ancillary uses. If there is a question as to whether or not a use meets the definition, the
Planning Director shall make that interpretation.
C. Lot Requirements and Setbacks
