2040 Comprehensive Plan: Envision Shakopee

EXISTING AVIATION CONDITIONS There currently is no airport located within the City of Shakopee. The major airport in the region is Mineapolis-St. Paul Airport (MSP), which is connected to Shakopee via the regional freeway network and approximately 10 miles northeast from the city. The closest airport in the region is Flying Cloud Regional Airport (FCM) which is owned and operated by the Metropolitan Airports Commision. The airport has three runways with varying lengths, these lengths are; 5,000 feet, 3,900 feet and 2,691 feet. FCM is approximately 1.5 miles north of Shakopee. This reletive proximity of the airport puts Shakopee within the airport's "Influence Area". This influence area is shared with the cities of Eden Praire and Chanhassen. Flying Cloud Airport does not pose noticable noise impacts to the residents of Shakopee and is not envisioned to do so in the future. The airport is a reliever airport which mainly handles smaller crafts in support of the more significant MSP. On account of this influence area; The Metropolitan Airports Commision, and the cities of Shakopee, Eden Prairie and Chanhassen have ented into the Flying Cloud Airport Joint Zoning Board. This Board has establised a Flying Cloud Airport Zoning Ordinance for parcels within the 3 cities which fall wholey or partially within a defined airspace zoning limit. The parcels within Shakopee affected by this zoning overlay can be found on the following page. This established zoning ordinance limits the heights of natural or artificial structures within the airspace zoning limit and sets standards and procedures to appeal this ordinance with the Flying Cloud Joint Airport Zoning Board. The Board is the body which notifies and interacts with the Federal Aviation Administration in the case that an appeal or issue is brought before it. This ordinance can be found in the appendix as item B.5.
