A formal application will be subject to <br />the full review process, including a public hearing with Planning Commission and City Council <br />review. <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />Heartland Gun Club and Range is a commercial indoor gun range operator with an existing <br />facility in Chanhassen (Stock & Barrel).
