Springfield/Summerfield Open House Postcard MailingCITY OF CHANHASSEN RESIDENTIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD -R) OPEN HOUSE Springfield /Summerfield Thursday, June 21, 2012, 6 -7 pm Lotus Lake Room — Chanhassen Recreation Center 2310 Coulter Boulevard Dear Property Owner City staff would like to invite you to an open house to discuss a proposed amendment to the zoning on your property. Over the past year, staff has been investigating the approximately 50 Residential Planned Unit Developments (PUD -R) throughout the City. Staff has discovered the following after researching the different projects: • The more recent ordinances reference the underlying zoning districts, however, they may not adequately reference the Chanhassen City Code. • The PUD subdivisions created in the 1980's and early 1990's reference the Design Standards as part of the Development Contract, rather than with the adoption of the Design Standards in the PUD Ordinance. • Prior to 1980 no design standards or development contracts exist. Rather the project references a development plan. • During the 1970's, any Residential Single - Family development exceeding 25 lots was required to be processed as a Planned Residential Development, even if the development complied with all requirements of the standard zoning regulations. The goal of the proposed amendments is to codify the developments as they exist today and to provide clarity as to the standards for your neighborhood. The purpose of the open house is to allow you an opportunity to discuss the proposed changes with City staff prior to this item going forward for the public hearing which is tentatively scheduled for July 17, 2012. City Council review and approval is tentatively scheduled for August 13, 2012. Your comments will be greatly appreciated. Additional information can be found on the City's web site at www .ci.chanhassen.mn.us /12 -04 -5. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Bob Generous, Senior Planner, at (952) 227 -1131 or by email at bgenerous(Lbci. chan hassen. m n. us.
