SUBURBAN SHAKOPEE PLANNING DISTRICT With the construction of the U.S. Highway 169 bypass in the mid- 1990s significant amounts of land were made accessible for freeway- oriented suburban development to the south of Old Shakopee and Valley Green. This includes a number of established and emerging interchange-oriented commercial centers and surrounding residential neighborhoods. Suburban Shakopee is within the Metropolitan Urban Service Areas (MUSA) and is served by a centralized sewer which has allowed for relatively compact residential development patterns. Near to many households with school-aged children, all but one of Shakopee’s schools are located within this area. Likewise, neighborhood and community parks as well as trails are well dispersed throughout the residential subdivisions. New residential development will continue to occur in this area as Shakopee continues growing.

RECOMMENDATIONS » Update zoning requirements for new subdivisions to ensure street connectivity, pedestrian/trail connectivity, and open space provision » Create design standards for how new subdivisions relate to the surrounding roadway network. Where possible, backs of homes should not face the roadway, or should be buffered with a coordinated landscape treatment
