RE:
City of Chanhassen, Pioneer Pass Amendment - Waiver
Metropolitan Council Review File No. 16500-12
Metropolitan Council Dis~ct 4 (Julius Smith, 952-443-2430)
,
Dear Mr. Generous:
The Metropolitan Council received the City's Pioneer Pass plan amendment on May 3,2006.
The amendment proposes to change the land use designation for approximately 42 acres located
north of Pioneer Trail at future highway 312 from Medium Density Residential and
OfficelIndustrial to Low Density Residential. The net density of the project is 2.88. City's
average density since 2000 has been 5.1. As the parcel is less than 80 acres and under 100 units
proposed, the amendment meets the administrative review waiver guidelines.
Council staff finds that the amendment is in conformance with metropolitan system plans,
consistent with the Regional Development Framework, and has no impact on the plans of other
units of loc'al government.. Council staff also fmds that this amendment meets the Comprehensive
Plan Am~1idmentAdmiflistrative Review Guidelines adopted by the Council on May 1-1,2005.
Therefore, the Council waives further action onthis review and the City may place this
amendment into effect immediately.
The amendment, explanatory materials supplied and the information submission form will be
appended to the City's Plan in the Council's files. If you have any questions about this review,
please contact Tom Caswell, Principal Reviewer, at 651-602-1319.
