Zoning Map

The red boundary indicates the intended Super Target site. The Holiday property is currently designated for "Industrial" use by the Comprehensive Plan, and zoned "IP Industrial Park". Both of these land use controls would have to be amended by the City Council in order for the Super Target development to proceed. The City has generally not approved retail use applications in the Industrial Park in the past.

Public Meetings

The City Council will conduct the public hearing for the SuperTarget application (properties located at 5401-5501 West Old Shakopee Road and 10800 Normandale Boulevard) on October 27. The City Council meeting starts at 7 p.m. The meeting will be held at Bloomington Civic Plaza, 1800 West Old Shakopee Road. Staff is working with the City Council to prepare guidelines for the meeting procedures.

On July 24, 2008, the Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing and recommended to the City Council:

  • Denial of the proposed Land Use Plan amendment (4 yeas, 2 nays),
  • Denial of the rezoning (5 yeas, 1 nay), and
  • Denial of the remaining applications (6 yeas, 0 nays).
