Chaska’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan is meant to guide the direction of the City in several major areas: land use, transportation, environment, parks and trails, and public facilities. Each of these areas is examined in a comprehensive manner, in order to take advantage of opportunities, avoid problems, and work toward building a stronger community.

This Comprehensive Plan is a general policy document. It reflects Chaska’s value system and philosophy, and acts as an overall framework for the future. As a guiding tool, it provides a system for measuring progress, gives direction for both everyday and more complex decisions, and helps set financial priorities.

Chaska’s Comprehensive Plan is intended to be flexible and responsive to changing conditions. It needs to be continually referenced, updated, and used as a guide. It functions as an overall course or path, and is intended to provide direction, rather than dictating specific activities or precise decision-making. The Plan helps city leaders in developing policies, programs, ordinances, capital improvement plans, and budgets. These more specific implementation tools will take into account current circumstances and financial priorities, along with the long-range outlook and goals of the Comprehensive Plan.

The draft of the 2030 Chaska Comprehensive Plan is now available for review. There will be an open house to discuss the draft plan on Wednesday, March 11th from 5pm to 6:30pm in the Council Chambers at the Chaska City Hall. The Planning Commission will then hold a Public Hearing regarding the plan at 7pm on Wednesday, March 11th in the Council Chambers at the Chaska City Hall. The City Council is scheduled to hear the recommendation of the Planning Commission at their meeting on Monday, March 16th at 7pm in the Council Chambers at the Chaska City Hall.

The City encourages and welcomes comments regarding the draft of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan.  If you are unable to attend the meetings, or if you have general questions regarding the plan, please contact Kevin Ringwald, Director of Planning and Development at 952-228-9200 or kringwald@chaskamn.com.
