LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION - MAKING:
The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving rezonings, PUBIS 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.

Triple Crown Estates PUD Amendment & Rezoning
June 5, 2012
Page 2 of 3
BACKGROUND
The City approved a development contract as the regulating document for this development. The
final development includes up to 55 single family lots.
Triple Crown Estates — PUD 85 -2 (Chaparral 4 th Addition)
1985 — Approved 55 Lots and an Outlot for a park.
Lot size 11,700 square feet — 20,000 square feet Average = 12,967 square feet
The City is requesting to rezone approximately 25 acres to Planned Unit Development - Residential
(PUD -R) to incorporate the unique development standards and referencing the Single - Family
Residential District (RSF). The project consists of 55 single - family detached units and a public
park. 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 55 single - family
homes and open space. 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:
• 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.
