SUBDIVISION CODE

Mining Overlay Zone (MN)

Provide an area for mining the City’s sand and gravel deposits while recognizing and providing for the long-term use of the land. The Mining Overlay Zone allows for the use of naturally occurring resources but requires that care be taken to leave the land ready for immediate or eventual reuse consistent with the comprehensive plan. Provide an area for the continuation of existing commercial development and development of existing lots in the older business areas for uses fronting on or with immediate access to arterial and collector streets. The combination of small lots is encouraged. Provide areas for the development of high density residential uses that are in close proximity to collector and arterial roadways or transit. The High Density Residential zoning district allows for the development of multiple-family housing from 14.01 units per acre to 40 units per acre, and provides increased housing choices and affordability in the community. Increased density also allows for the clustering of units near environmentally sensitive areas and the downtown and riverfront area.

The subdivision code establishes the regulations, requirements and procedures for platting of land within the city. Much like the zoning code, the subdivision code is intended to protect the health, safety and well-being of the community. The subdivision code outlines the city’s design standards for new development, including standards for grading, erosion control, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, utilities, street lights, streets and alleys, sidewalks and trails, lots and blocks, and parks and landscaping. In conjunction with study and review of the zoning code, the city will explore necessary changes and updates to the subdivision code. The City Code outlines rules, regulations and procedures related to water and infrastructure. The city will update the code as necessary to implement the goals of Envision Shakopee. » » Sanitary Sewer : Chapter 52 of the City Code outlines rules, regulations and procedures related to the city’s sewer system » » Stormwater: Chapter 53 of the City Code outlines rules, regulations and procedures related to the city’s stormwater sewer system » » Water Resources: Chapter 54 of the City Code outlines rules, regulations and procedures related to the city’s stormwater management, wetland management, and erosion and sediment control.
