SUBJ:Continued Discussion on
Use Plan for the City the Development of an Updated Land
PURPOSE:
At the August 30 meeting, several sets of development forecastswere presented.. The forecasts were derived from two sources, thefirst set. being prepared by the Metropolitan Council based upontsheir regional growth model, the second set prepared by theCityrs consultant based upon somewhat greater but sti11 conser-vative growth rates that were developed for the Hwy. 212 study.This data \,ra s extrapolated into an analysis of land consumptionto allow a comparision bethreen devetopable land currently locatedwithin the MUSA Line and additional land that must be incor-porated if the development scenario is to be realized.
During the course of the discussion there was a consensus ofopinion that time should be taken t.o step back and re-examine theCityrs development goals and gain an understanding of outsidefactors that help to shape development in Chanhassen. The growthscenarios that were reviewed were essentially derived based uponexternal factors and did not orovide for any substantial input bythe City to influence the process. The fundamental questions of
whaE sort of development. is in the best interest of the community
was unresolved. A communitiesr land use plan shoulil representit's goals for whaE the City is to become and staff was directedto provide sufficient information t.o promote the discussion ofthese goals- Opportunities and constraints on development withinthe City would also be examined. The goal of Ehe process is t.ogain sufficient understanding and direction to prepare an
updated land use plan thaE adequately reflects these findings.

discussion purposes at the next meeting, additional projections
have been compleled. The ne$, projections assume nunconstrained"
growth. Specifically, they assume an annual growth rate of 6.3*
which has been Chanhassen I s average rate of growth over the past
10 years. Additionally, a set of projections has been prepared
at an annual rate of 10t which approximat,es the growth rates for
1987, 1988 and probably 1989.

NATIONAL AND REGIONAL PERSPECTIVE
The Tlrin Cities metropolitan area and the nation as a whole areaffected by factors and trends that are often well beyond localcontrol, but never the less, will have a significant impact uponfuture development. in Chanhassen.
At a national 1evel some of the more direct factors include:

LOCAL GROWTH FACTORS
Chanhassen's growth over the past ten years as well as during thenext ten years is a product of a number of factors. Certainly,Iocal city policies significantly influence developmet. Markettrends and the regional economy also play major roles.
In order t.o discuss some of the factors influencingfuture growth, a large scale map will be availablemeeting. The map will- identify influencing factorsas well as in the surrounding conmunities. Some ofinclude the following:
Chanhassenrsat wednesdayr sin Chanhassenthe facEors
1 Const.ruction of new TH 2L2 - According to !1nDOT, TU 212 is
IIgw prograruned for completion up to Lyman Boulevard,/TH 101 by1997 or 1998. Recent press acccounts identifying a 1994-1995timeframe referred to Ietting dat.es and r.vere not represen-tative of final construction.
The section west of Lyman,/TH 10I is currenlly scheduled for apossible 1996-1997 letEing which wilI result in a completedfacility by 1999 or 2000.
Continued improvemenE of TH 5 - By L992, TH 5 is scheduled tobe completed as a four lane t.hrough Chanhassen to CSAH 17.At the present time, the section irest of CSAH 17 is notprogrammed for improvement. It was submitted but notapproved for a 1994-1995 programming (letting). It may beadded to Ehe program for a Letting in 1996-1997 which wouldresult in complelion by 1998 or I999.
Exiension of Townline Road (Crosstsohrn) - The extension ofTownline Road to TH 10I in the extreme northeastern section ofChanhassen is scheduled for 1992. As currently proposed,Townline Road will be a four lane facility.

Light RaiI Transit - The rail line bisecting southern
Chanhassen has been identified and partially acquired as afuture LRT 1ine. It is unlikely that a LRT line serving theCity would be constructed in a timeframe that would influence
development in Chanhassen in the foreseeable future.
Land Development in Eden Prairie - The available supply ofvacant land in Eden Prairie will be a major influence on thetiming of Chanhassenrs future growth.
Lack of Available Land !o the North - Communities north of
Chanhassen do not have large quantities of land available forfuture development. Ir{innetonka is nearing fu11 development.
Area Employment - The 494 corridor along with areas of EdenPrairie and Minnetonka are centers of significant employment.Continued employment growth in these areas has an impact on
Chanhassenrs future employment and residential growth.
MUSA Line - The positioning of the MUSA Line in Eden prairie
and Chanhassen will influence Chanhassenrs future growth.
Commercial Land Use - Continued development of commercialuses in and around Eden Prairie and Chanhassen are importanLin charting Chanhassenrs fut.ure commercial growt.h potent.ial.
River Crossings - The river crossings at County Road 18 (169)
in Bloominglon/Eden Prairie, at TH ICL/212 in Chanhassen andat TH 4l- in Chaska have an impact on Chanhassen, particularlyin light of the enterEainment complexes on the south side ofthe river.

businesses.

each demonstrated that we are tireiess campaigneri. I think it is iimefor us to hit the.campaign trail to acquirl c6nrnuni ty imput rathe; aha;votes. I have attached a survey that i think courd -heip'ttrat
frJceii.
As,we begin.the budgeting plocess it is particularily important that weunderstand the prior.ities of the conmunity. I have ittathed asuggested survey that will increase our ability to develop a budgetthat reflects the interests of the entire conmunity.
Because surveys usually recieve. a very lor response rate, I suggestthat we consider distributing this suivey in an non-traditionai-manner.I would like the council to iarget neigh6orhoods for personii-d"iire.y-of the survey by each of us. I see seieral advantages to this app.oaih:
Ic would give each of us a chance to reinforce the importance r,f theirsurvey res pon se.
lJe would be conrnitting to seeking voter contact without the burden ofalso seeking their votes.
It wouid be an opportunity for us to demonstrate our ability to work asa team.
I have field tested the survey with 20 households and recieved a sixtvpercent response. I would like you to consider this idea and thespecific survey questions so that vre could make a dicision about
whether to follow through on this idea at the next councj I meeting.

The city,s attitude on g;5*th asrefl ected -by the goals and_p_or icies inc luded elsewhere in inii ptanis one of advocating well planned growth. This posiiion isconsistent with chanhassen's physical iocat i on in the iouthwesternportion of the Tvrin city lletropolitan Area which has been i iead.inggrowth area for the past 15 years.
POPULATIOI{ OVERYIEI
Chanhassen came into being as a city in 1967. At thatmerger took place between the old -town of Chanhassensurrounding township. This merger increased the areacommunity from 2 square miles to over ZZ square miles.
t i me , aand theof the
Chanhassen Township was organjzed in !,lay of lg5g and by 1g90, thetownship's popu-iation was listed at 68 j. After the li67 me ige r,the city's population was est i mat ed at 4,112 peop ) e. By 1970,-thetotal^number of pe_op1e Iiving in chanhasien nad i^isen t6 4,879 andby 1980, the population had increased to 6,359.
1980 CEXSUS
The mo st recent census for the City of Chanhassen occurred in 1980.
The data avai Iable th rou gh the 1980 census presents comprehensive
demographic information, however, unfortunately this informationis norr dated and only valuable in providing a base for theprojecti on of exi st ing conditi ons and the ext rapo I at i on of fu tu retrends.
Accordi ng to the l9 80 data, Chanhassen had 6,359 residents; 3,279
males and 3,080 females. l{inority population constituted ol1y 1.21of the total popu lat i on. An analysis of the age statistics revea I s
th at the Chanhassen popu 1at i on is you ng with a median age of 28.5years with 367 of the population under the age of 20. Age
breakdowns are important in the provision of community services,particularly for items such as park facilities where providedfaciiities need to match the desires of specific age groups. A
breakdown of the 1980 population by age groups (cohorts) can befound on the chart entit led 1980 Age Distribution.
Since 1980 Chanhassen has undergone significant gro}, th. llost of
Chanhassen's growth is attributable to in-migration. The communityis a desirable place to Iive and the residential market hasresponded by offering consumers a choice of numerous housingdevelopments. C o r r e s p o n d i n g 1 y , res idential growth as measured by
new housing starts reached record amounts in the I ate 1980's.
The iletropolitan Council compiles annual estimates of localpopulations. According to their estimates, Chanhassen had anestimated population in Apri l of 1988 of 9,225. In reviexing
bu i Iding permi t data for the balance of 1988, Chanhassen estimatesit's year end l9 88 population at 10,100 assumi ng a 5Z vacancy rate.
REGIOIIAL ATD COUI{TY PROJECTIOI{S
The most recent regional projections for municipalities andcounties are found in the lletropolitan Council's t{etropolitan
Deve I opment I nvestment Framerork ( l,l0I F) as adopted September 26 ,1986. The tIDIF identifies a metropol itan area 1980 population oiI ,985,873 and 1990 and 2000 est imates of 2,204,000 and 2,310,000respectiveiy. Carver County's 1980 population rras 37,046 with a1990 estimate of 44,600 and a 2000 estimate of 48,290. From 1980to 1988, Chanhassen's population expanded at a rate of 59U. This
compares to the 1980 to 1990 l,lDIF projected growth rates for CarverCounty and the metropol itan area of 20I and llZ respectively.
cllAIHAsSEil PRoJECTIoilS
Population forecasts for Chanhassen have been compiled by severalsources. The ilDI F projections prepared .in 1986 identified a 1990pr oje cted population of 9,000 and a 2000 popu 1at i on of 10,000. Bythe l,letropolitan Council's own estirnates, both the 1990 and 2000projecti ons y{ere surpassed in the mid to l ate 1980's.

correspond-ingly, the,l'retropolitan council's demographers revisedtheir estimates in 1988 as a part of the review of the base'information being assembled for the preparation of the TH Zl?Environmental Impact Statement. The reviied estimates call for a2000 population of 15,000 and a 2005 population of 17,500.
In 1986, chanhassen comp l et ed a report ent itled year z0o0 Lan d lJseand rransportation study ana lyz ing transportation in and arou ndit's downtor.ln area. That report Contained a methodology for thepreparation of population projections that is being appl.l eO to ttrisplan update. The methodology used in the transpoitadion and landuse report assumed that chanhassen's households wil l experience anet increase of approxim.ately 4.75i per year from 1997 th'rough 2000and a 5.5% annua l net increase after 2000. The increase i,n theaverage annual net household i ncrease after 2000 is indicative ofthe tightening su pp 1y of vacant available Iand in E den prairie.For referen ce, the folloning chart outlines Chanhassen,s rate ofhousehold growth from 1980 - l98g as measured by 1oca1 build.ingperm i t i ssuance and unit construction.

Population projections for the City of Chanhassen are derived from
hou seho ld projections. Utilizing -an occupancy of 2.7 persons per
un it, total households are converied to total population. ApplyingChanhassen's methodology and inc)uding a 5X vacancy rate, it iiconversion results in a 2000 population of 16,850- and i ZOOS
Pgpulation of 22,000. Eoth of theie estimates are somewhat higherthan the estimates prepared by the lletropol itan Counci l.
Uhen Chanhassen -prepared its 1980. Comprehensive plan, the Cityprepared population projections that weie higher than those of th6lletropol itan Council. In retrospect, the 1990 estimates preparedby the lletropol itan Council were iow and the 1990 eitimatesprepared by Chanhassen were high. Recent history has shown thata mid-range estimate incorporating both of the 1990 estimates wouldhave been very close to the population increases that Chanhassenactual ly experienced. Chanhassen is capable of growing to apopulation of 22,000 by the year 2005 providing thai the 6veral leconomy remains strong and the residential buitding climate remainsstable.

HOUSEHOLDS
0 ver the pa st 20 years, the composition of Chanhassen's househo ldshas fo l l owed nat i ona l and regional trends. Thes e trends haveresulted in a s ign ificant e xpans i on of what was once characteri zedas non-traditional households su ch as those headed by singleparents and those involving unrelated individuals. Accordi ng to
lletropol itan Council estimates prepared in 1988, non-traditional
households account for almost 70 percent of the regional nelr
household growth. Single parent fami I i es are expected to accountfor 19 percent of the new household growth from 1985 to 2000.
In Chanhassen, househol d size is decreas i ng in response to changesin household composition. In 1970, Chanhassen had an average of3.59 persons per household. By 1980, the number of people per
household had fallen to 3.04. In 1988, it is estimated that the
household population has decreased to ?.7 people per unit.
Household population is expected to remain at about 2.7 to 2.75
peop'l e per unit through 2000.
Household projections, consistent with population projections arepresented utilizing two sources, the l{etropolitan Counci l and
estimates by the City of Chanhassen. The methodology for the local
estimates Has summarized in the population section.

Employment growth in Chanhassen has parallelled population growth.In 1970, the city had a total emp loyment of 985.' By 1980, total
employment had risen to 1,300 which represents a 32X increase.
Employment from 1980 to 1988 has increased dramatically. Accordingto a survey conducted by the City, employment in 1988 is estimatedat 2,800 which represents a 115 Z increase over the 8 year peri od.

For projection purposes, an averagegross density of 4.6 dwelling units per acre is used for thisclassification.
l{arket conditions constitute one of the strongest individualinfluences on housing type. Energy costs, financing costs,material costs, i and pri ces and inflation have significant inpactson buyer preferences. In order to forecast a reasonabl e future
housing composition, density class ifications must be defined.
Since housing types are difficult to forecast, the Chanhassen landuse pl an wiI'l focus on density rather than specifying housingtypes. This is i nt ended to prov i de flexibil ity in the developmentprocess to accommodate changes in housing styles.
Large lot residential developments are subject to a mi n imum lotsize of 2.5 acres wi th an overa I I dens ity limitation of one unitper ten acres. New large lot residential subdivisions proliferatedin 1987 immediate ly prior to enactnent of a one unit per ten acre

RESIDEIITIAL LA[D SUPPLY
At the end of 1988, the City of Chanhassen estimated that the total
va ca nt residential Iand Hithin the confines of the existing ilU SAline was 723 acres. This supply is insufficient to accommodaie the2000 and 2005 residential growth projected by the City. By theyear 2000 , a shortfa l l of 460 acres exi sts and by 2005 , a iota 1shortage of 1,294 acres exi sts. In order to accommodate projectedgrowth, the IIUSA line will ne ed to be expanded commens u rate withthe fi gures cited above.

Commercial growth in Chanhassen has historically lagged behind
popu 1at i on growth. The City establ ished a tax increment districtin the downtown area in the mid 1970's to enhance commercialdevelopment. In 1988, the City completed a project to upgrademajor portions of the Iocai street network supporting the doirntownarea. Extensive landscaping improvements accompanied the streetproject.

Expansion of commercial businesses in this area presents two major
i ssues, en v i ronme nt al concerns and h i ghrtay access. Because of the'Iack of avai lable sanitary sewer and major circulation probl ems inthe area, th is comprehensive plan acknowledges the existence ofthese uses, however, adopted pol icies discourage their expansion.
Downtown Commerc i a I
A majority of Chanhassen's recent commercial developnent hasoccurred in the dountolrn area. Land use p lans and zoning
requirements for the district establ ish various types of commercialareas serving highway users, establ ish ing office areas andproviding a range of commercial goods and services. Downtown
businesses emphas ize intensive commercial uses that provide high
emp l oyment jevel s.
Vacant, developable land still exi sts in the dow nt ow n area. ilostremaining parcels are smaller tracts of land suitable for
freestand ing bus i ness entities.
N e i qh borhood Commerc i a l
Neighborhood commercial developments exist in the northern sectionof Chanhassen and immediately south of the downtown area.
Neighborhood commercial uses involve convenience grocery stores,
day ca re facilities, et c. In the future, ne i gh borhood commerciaiareas are expected to expand commensurate with the development of
new res idential nei ghborhoods, particularly those that are removedfrom the downtown commercial core.
Lafgq Scale Commercial
At the present time, Chanhassen rs vacant commercial land supply cannot accommodate a l arge scale commercial user. Su ch users mayinclude mid-size sh opp i ng centers, l arge r freestanding spec ialtystores, discount depa rtme nt stores, lumber yards, auto dea lerships,etc. As Chanhassen's population continues to grow, requests for'locations for su ch uses are expected to increase. Large scaleusers can on 1y be ac commod ate d th rou gh an expan s i on of the existing

COXIIERCIAL LAI{D DEIIAIIO
Quantifying estimates of Chanhassen's commercial land demand is adifficu lt task due to a lack of relevant historical data. Inprojecting future commercial land requirements, two major factors
need to be considered. First, Chanhassen's supp 1y of Iand in thedowntown area is sufficient to permit cont i nu ed expansion of
The second item of importance relates to large scale users. At thepresent time, chanhassen does not have commercial sites suitablefor l a rger scale users. The market is current ly exerting iir.itedpressure for the establ i shment of sites that aie approp i.i ate f orlarger scale operations.

I IIDUSTRI At
Chanhassen 's industrial growth began in earnest in 1980. F rom 19g0to 1988, the Cjty experienced significant industrial expansion.From 1980 to 1988, the city estimates that employment giew from1,300 to 2,800 , a 1157 increase. In 1987 and l9il8, thi rate ofindustrial' gror'tth increased even mo re dramatically-with a tota labsorpt i on approaching 150 acres ove r the tHo year period.
At the end of 1988, Chanhassen had 229 acres of vacant industrial
l and within the confi nes of the existing IiUSA l ine. Of this total,development proposals current ly undei review are projected t6absorb approximately 80 acres resulting in a net suppiy of 149acres. At current level s of de ve I opme nt, this represenls a twoyear supply.

chanhassen has had a 1ong. standing pol icy of supporting a balancedblend of land uses throughout the cbmmunity. thbustrrit areas andemployment centers are important componenti of this blernd. tr tnisba lance is to be maintained in the 'future, additional industr.ialIand wi)1 be required. since the supply 6f rana within the r,rusA1i ne may be as little as 149 acres, addiiionat inoustrrit luno .unonly be created through the e xpans i on of the l{uSA Iine.
Similar to chanhassen's commercial situation, future industrialland is difficult to q.uantify since the cityis growth ii-i veryrecent phenomena. It. is .cl e-ar,. -h.owever, thaI the existino supptyis. inad_equate. In order to facilitate bi I anced i ndustrial -gro;Itn,
this plan recommends that an addit.ional supply of 400 aires b6des i gnated on the future Iand use plan. Tijs'will i ncrea se thetotal available supply of vacant iniustrial land to approximately550 acres.
SUTHARY OF IAXD USE REQUIRE'IETITS
This pian has focused on the residential, commercial and industrialcomponents of chanhassen's land use and independently concludedthat each--w-i-l I require expansion to serve th6 community,s needsprior to 2000 or 2005. Expansion in each of these categtries canonly.be accomp_1 ished through the modification of the pres-ent limitsof the l,lUSA line. According to the projections tited in thissection, a total of almost 1,900 acrei oi land will need to beadded to the IIUSA line prior to 2005. If even increment growth is
as sumed for each of th.e th ree categori es, a 1,600 acre dxpans i onwill be warranted by the year 2000.
