Summary

At Monday's Chanhassen City Council meeting, council members reviewed updated sketch plans for Avienda's retail area, described by the meeting presenter as a more traditional, walkable layout anchored by a grocery store and centered around a public gathering space.
The presenter said the developer plans to refine the proposal and submit a formal application in early April. No formal action or vote on the sketch plan was recorded in the meeting transcript; the item was presented as a plan review and next steps were limited to application filing.
Why it matters: a formal application will trigger the city's review process for land-use approvals and public hearings. The sketch emphasizes a grocery anchor and a central public space, design elements that can shape sidewalk access, parking demands and neighborhood connectivity if and when the project proceeds to formal review.
The council did not provide specific dates for any public hearings or a planning commission schedule during the portion of the meeting recorded in the transcript. The exact date for the formal application was described only as "early April."
