Regular Meeting of the
Golden Valley Planning Commission
June 11, 2018
A regular meeting of the Planning Commission was held at the Golden Valley City Hall,
Council Chambers, 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota, on Monday,
June 11, 2018. Vice Chair Johnson called the meeting to order at 7 pm.
Those present were Planning Commissioners Angell, Blum, Brookins, Johnson, Pockl,
and Segelbaum. Also present was Planning Manager Jason Zimmerm�n and
Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman. Commissioners Baker and Black were abs�nt.
1. Approval of Minutes
May 30, 2018, Regular Planning Commission Meeting
MOVED by Segelbaum, seconded by Pockl and motic�n car�ied unanimously to approve
the May 30, 2018, minutes as submitted.
2. Review Chapter 11 (Zoning Code) R�:�odification Qraft
Zimmerman stated that the City is going through a recodification process in order to
clean up outdated language and creat� consistency in'references and between
sections. He noted that this proc�ss will require public hearings before the Planning
Commission and the City Councif and showed fhe Commission an example of a city that
uses Municode for their city cod� information. Segelbaum asked if there will be public
hearings for each section of the �ode or for the entire City Code at once. Zimmerman
explained that Chapter 11 (Zoning Code) of the City Code requires public hearings, but
the other sections af fhe City Code require two readings by the City Council. Segelbaum
asked how the public will k�e notified. Zimmerman said there will be information on the
City's website and in the City's newsletter.
Zimmerman explained that there are six areas of the Zoning Code where slightly more
significant changes ar� being proposed. The first area he discussed was the proposed
changes to how Conditional Use Permits (CUPs) are managed. He explained that the
current Zoning Code lacks any regulation to trigger an expiration of a CUP if it goes
unused;for an extended length of time. The proposed new language would cause an
unused CUP to expire after 12 consecutive months. In addition, the proposed changes
allow for the ability for a CUP to be amended if changes are requested.
Johnson asked how CUPs are enforced and how staff would know if a CUP is in use.
Zimmerman said staff is generous in its interpretation, but can check advertising and
usually knows when a building has been vacated. Johnson asked about grandfathering
in existing CUPs. Zimmerman stated that the proposed new code language would only
apply to uses going forward.
Segelbaum gave an example of a CUP to allow for a drive-thru window and asked if the
restaurant closed if the CUP for the drive-thru would still be in effect. Zimmerman said
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
June 11, 2018
Page 2
the CUP would be valid for 12 months. After that, the existing CUP would expire and the
process would start over.
The next proposed change Zimmerman discussed was Tax Parcel Divisions. He
explained that there are several properties in the City where a house was built over the
middle of two lots then the house gets torn down and the property owner wants to
uncombine the two lots and build two new houses. He stated that the City doesn't have
the right to not let property owners use their lots however the proposed new code
language requires that non-conforming setbacks or non-buildable lots aren't created. He
added that the proposed new code language also requires that property own�r� within
250 feet of the subject site are notified of a Tax Parcel Division. Blum asked how many
of these types of properties are in the City. Zimmerman said he didn't know the exact
number but explained that some of the old original plats in a few areas have bt� that
were combined and could be pulled apart. He noted that there are sc�me on Meadow
Avenue North by Theodore Wirth Park, north of Highway 55, sc�me by Sumter and
Rhode Island near Brookview, and some near the area north of the Cour�try Club.
Segelbaum asked if some cities require residents to combine the lots into one if they
want to build a house across both lots. Zimmerman said Gt�lden Valley requires that
now, but there are some properties that weren't done that way in the past. Blum asked if
the uncombined situation of these lots is factored in when people ask for variances.
Zimmerman stated that these lots have been treated as if they are one lot until they are
pulled apart.
Segelbaum asked why the neighborhood notification isn't given to neighbors within 500
feet as is typical with other p�anning applications. Zimmerman stated that the City
Council thought that 250 feet was reasonable and added that the state statute
requirement is 250 feet for all planning applications.
Johnson referred to subdivision A. in the tax parcel division language and questioned
why it states that lot divisians or combinations by Hennepin County "shall be" enforced
when everything is already enforced. Zimmerman said he would review the language.
Blum referred to subdivisio'n A in the tax parcel division language and suggested the
word "strueturat" be replaced with the word "any" in regard to nonconformities.
Zimmerman asked the Commissioners to send any recommendations they have to him
and he would review them.
Zimmerman.stated that the next change being proposed is the addition of density caps
in the R-3 and R-4 Zoning Districts. He explained that no density limits currently exist for
senior and disability housing in the R-3 Zoning District or for any uses in the R-4 Zoning
District. He added that establishing maximum densities would be consistent with the
residential densities proposed in the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Blum asked for an
explanation of the numbers listed in the second paragraph of the density section of the
staff report. Zimmerman explained that the different numbers have to do with densities
allowed by right versus densities allowed with a Conditional Use Permit. He added that
he would separate the two in order to make it clearer.

The next item Zimmerman discussed was modifications to the public amenity provisions
for PUDs. He explained that staff is recommending taking out the amenity regarding
underground parking because most big developments will already include underground
parking. He stated that staff is also recommending removing enhanced exterior lighting
and informational/interpretive displays from the amenity list. He added that language
regarding quantifying the number of electric vehicle charging stations at a rate of five
percent of the required parking is also being recommended. Segelbaum asked if any of
the amenity point values are changing. Zimmerman said no, and stated that there hasn't
been a PUD application submitted yet using the public amenity provisions. Pockl asked
about the significance of five percent in regard to charging stations. Zimmerman stated
that staff talked to developers and other cities and that the demand for charging stations
just isn't there yet and they are very expensive so staff is trying ta manage what the
demand might be.
Zimmerman stated that another proposed change in the PUD section of th� Zoning
Code is being proposed that states an "increase" rather than "any chan�e" in gross floor
area will be considered a minor PUD amendment because taking away'density doesn't
need the same kind of review that adding density does.
Zimmerman stated that the next proposed change is to the language regarding the
height of flat roofs and accessory structures. He explained that currently, the maximum
height of pitched and flat roofs in residential zoning districts differed by type of roof. With
the addition of the "tent-shaped" building env�;lope, the difference in height limits is no
longer needed. He added that for now, the one foot limit on an increase in the average
grade for a new structure has been left in place. Blum questioned how grade and height
are determined on corner lots and lots that have low grades in the back yard.
Zimmerman stated that h�ight is not lirnited in a back yard and that it is only measured
using the front of the house.
Zimmerman stated that the last significant proposed change is regarding outdoor
storage. He explained that the new language does the following things: moves
regulations about outdoor storage from each zoning district into one section of the
Zoning Code, along with fencing and screening requirements; helps to clarify language
around where and how outdoor storage can take place in the front, side, and rear yards
of residential properties;`establishes a limit of 30 days for landscaping or construction
materials in the front yards of residential properties; establishes screening standards for
stor�ge in side and rear yards; allows the storage of automobile dealership inventory in
Light In'dustrial and Industrial Zoning Districts with a Conditional Use Permit, and in
parking ramps; and strengths language around screening of inechanical equipment in
all Zoning Districts.
Segelbaum asked if items stored on a driveway have to be located five feet from the
side yard property line. Zimmerman stated that driveways are allowed to be three feet
from the property line so if an item is on a driveway it can be located three feet from the
property line as well.

Blum suggested that electric, collector, restored, and reconstructed vehicles be added
to the list of things that may be stored in a front yard. Segelbaum asked why those
would need to be called out if the Code already says "vehictes." Blum stated that they
are a different class of vehicle per state statute. He said he would also like to add
language about not allowing storage of an unregistered or inoperable vehicle.
Zimmerman noted that unregistered and inoperable vehicles are addressed in a
different section of the City Code. Brookins suggested referencing that section in this
section of the Zoning Code.
Blum said he envisions people storing their items in the street and moving them once in
a while to get around the rule. Zimmerman said that hasn't been an issue so he is not
overly concerned about that.
Segelbaum noted that the language allows trailers to be park�d in front yards �nd
questioned if that means empty trailers or a trailer with items on it such as snowmobiles,
etc. Zimmerman stated that items stored in a front yard have ta be on a trailer. Blum
suggested adding language about debris being stored on a'trailer. Zimmerman stated
that the Property Maintenance Code addresses rnany of concerns about debris and
garbage.
Blum asked if the regulations about garden structures have been removed. Zimmerman
said they are addressed in the accessory structure sectior� of the Zoning Code.
Pockl referred to the language regarding screening and noted that in subdivision g. it
talks about vegetation of not less than six feet in height, but it doesn't say anything
about the height of vegetation in subdivision h. Brookins suggested using the word
"screening" instead of sayir�g`"wall, fence, or vegetation."
Segelbaum asked if there are:sign provisions in the residential zoning districts.
Zimmerman said yes and stated that new sign regulations will address the size of signs
and the time allowed, b,ut not content.
Blum referred to the pro�Qsed future changes to the Zoning Code regarding trailer parks
and asked Zimm�rman to explain. Zimmerman stated that there is legislation that
requires cities to address them, so proposed changes to the Zoning Code will be
coming in the future.

Subject: Material and Architectural Standards Discussion
Summary
Planning staff has been directed to research the guidelines of comparable cities that regulate
exterior building materials and provide architectural standards in their zoning codes. These
standards are usually adopted in order to establish minimum acceptable levels of design or to
ensure a minimum level of quality in materials. Depending on feedback from the Planning
Commission and the City Council, amendments to the City's Zoning Code may be recommended
for targeted Zoning Districts.
Background
Development is typically subject to up to three types of aesthetic controls. The first is site design,
which regulates where site elements (structures, access points, parking, landscaping, etc.) can be
located on a property. Golden Valley controls some elements of site design through setbacks and
limitations on the location of accessory structures, driveways, etc. More extensive site planning
regulations are in place in the I-394 Mixed Use Zoning District.
The second type of aesthetic control is architectural standards. These usually dictate building
elements that must be included (or may be prohibited) in the design of new buildings, such as
variations in wall depth,the presence of windows, doors, and other openings, or massing and
screening standards. Historically, Golden Valley has not provided much oversight of architectural
features. In the R-1 and R-2 Zoning Districts, the side wall articulation requirement is one of the
only architectural controls. The I-394 Mixed Use Zoning District does establish standards for
building design, transparency, and building colors.
Finally, the type and amount of various exterior materials used in construction may be regulated
by a third type of architectural control. The current City Code does provide some minimal
protection from exterior building materials which "tend to rapidly deteriorate or which for any
reason are, or tend to quickly become, unsightly." In addition, the I-394 Mixed Use Zoning District
requires exterior walls to be faced with "glass, exterior cement plaster (stucco), natural stone,
brick, architectural concrete, non-corrugated metal, or an equivalent or better." At least 20
percent of the fa�ade facing a primary street must be faced with Kasota stone or other
indigenous dolomitic limestone, and up to 15 percent of the exterior wall surface may be wood,
metal, EIFS, or other equivalent materials.
As Golden Valley continues to face redevelopment pressure, the question should be asked if
additional architectural or material standards should be developed for targeted Zoning Districts.
Research
Staff gathered information from 15 neighboring cities— Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Coon
Rapids, Crystal, Edina, Hopkins, Minneapolis, Minnetonka, New Hope, Plymouth, Richfield,
Robbinsdale, Roseville, St. Louis Park, and Woodbury. Of these 15 cities, 13 have material
standards—some more explicit than others. Three utilize massing (architectural) standards.

Massing standards dictate architectural design elements such as height, building articulations,
rhythm of openings, etc.
Material class systems break down building materials into different categories—often
categorized as Class I, Class II, and Class III. Class I is the highest quality and Class III is the lowest.
2
Material percentages dictate how much of a fa�ade must include a specific material or materials.
This can be done with both a materials class system as well as with a list of acceptable materials.
These percentages may be altered for different zoning districts to meet the desired aesthetic
quality.
Attached are excerpts of the Zoning Code from each of the surrounding cities that have
architectural and material design standards. These sections lay out specifically what each city
requires and also provides an overview of different ways in which this information may be
presented.
The majority of cities compile these requirements in one section of their Zoning Code which can
then be applied to each zoning district. However, Coon Rapids lays out these standards in each
zoning district within its zoning code.
Through conversations with other cities regarding their standards, it is important to note that
material standards should focus primarily on material aesthetics rather than the durability and
the structural nature of materials as this moves from a zoning code concern to a building code
issue.
Also attached is a portion of the draft Minneapolis 2040 Comprehensive Plan that outlines a
policy to ensure high visual quality of new development.
Discussion Questions
• What does the City want to regulate? (i.e. material aesthetics, massing, architectural
details, etc.)
• Should the City use a materials class system OR list acceptable materials?
• How specific and/or flexible does the City want to be in regards to architectural standards?
• How involved does the City want to be in approving and regulating architectural
standards?
• What zoning districts should these regulations apply to?

Sec. 36-366.Architectural design.
(a) Purpose.The purpose of this section is to serve the public interest by promoting a high standard of
development in the city.Through a comprehensive review of both functional and aesthetic aspects of
new or intensified developments,the city seeks to accomplish the following:
(1) Implement the comprehensive plan;
(2) Preserve the character of neighborhoods, commercial and industrial areas;
(3) Reasonably maintain and improve the city tax base;
(4) Reduce the adverse impacts of dissimilar land uses;
(5) Promote orderly and safe flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic;
(6) Discourage the development of identical and similar building facades which detract from the
character and appearance of the neighborhood;
(7) Preserve the natural and built environment; and
(8) Minimize adverse impacts on adjacent properties from buildings which are or may become
unsightly.
(b) Standards.
(1) Building Design.
a.Architectural design elements that will be considered in the review of building and site plans
include building materials,color and texture, building bulk, general massing, roof treatment,
proportion of openings, facade design elements and variation,window and openings.Site plan
design elements that will be considered in the determination as to whether site plan design is
superior include quantity,quality,variation, compatibility and size of plant materials,
landscape berms and screening walls.Also considered will be the overall order,symmetry and
proportion of the various elements within the site and within the larger context of the area or
corridor.
b.The height, bulk,general massing, roof treatment, materials, colors,textures, major divisions,
and proportions of a new or remodeled building shall be compatible with that of other
buildings on the site and on adjacent sites.
c. Building wall deviations are required where the unbroken building wall length to wall height
ratio meets or exceeds 2:1.The minimum depth of each building wall deviation at the 2:1 ratio
shall be two feet.The unbroken wall length to wall height ratio may be increased to 3:1 if the
depth of the building wall deviations is increased to three feet.The unbroken wall length to
wall height ratio may be increased to 4:1 if the depth of the building wall deviations is
1
increased to four feet.The building wall deviations must extend from the grade to the roof, or
top of the parapet.
d. No building may display more than five percent of any elevation surface in bright, pure accent
colors.
e.The development must locate the noise-producing portions of the development, such as
loading docks,outside storage and outside activity away from adjacent residential areas.
f.All exterior finishes for one-and two-family dwellings and accessory structures shall be
installed within one year from the issuance of the building permit.
g. All developments shall consider the effect of sun angles and shade patterns on other
buildings. All new multiple-family and nonresidential buildings and additions thereto shall be
located so that the structure does not cast a shadow that covers more than 50 percent of
another building wall for a period greater than two hours between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.for
more than 60 days of the year.This section will not prohibit shading of buildings in an
industrial use district, or as approved for buildings covered by the same PUD, CUP, or Special
Permit. Shading of existing public spaces and outdoor employee break areas shall be
minimized to the extent reasonable and possible.
h. Interior and exterior bars,grills, mesh or similar obstructions, whether permanently or
temporarily affixed, shall not cover any exterior door or more than ten percent of any
individual window or contiguous window area. (Ord. No. 2358-08, 8-14-08)
(2) Building Materials. Exterior surface materials of buildings shall be installed in accordance with the
adopted building code and the manufacturer's specifications, and shall be subject to the following
regulations:
a. Classes of materials. Materials shall be divided into class I, class II and class III categories as
follows:
1. Class I. Brick, marble,granite or other natural stone,textured cement stucco, copper,
porcelain and glass are class I exterior building materials on buildings other than those
used as dwellings which contain four or fewer dwelling units. Wood,vinyl siding,fiber-
reinforced cement board and prefinished metal are class I materials on residential
buildings containing four or fewer dwelling units in addition to the other class I
materials listed in this subsection. Wood is a class I material on park buildings under
3,000 square feet. If a minimum of two other Class I materials are in use, clapboard
and shake-style fiber reinforced cement board with a minimum thickness of%inch
may be used as a Class I material for up to 10 percent of the fa�ade on residential
buildings with more than four(4) units. "Smooth"finish fiber-reinforced cement
board is not permitted as a Class I material.
2. Class II. Exposed aggregate concrete panels, burnished concrete block, integral
colored split face (rock face) and exposed aggregate concrete block, cast-in-place
concrete, artificial stucco (E.I.F.S., Drivit), artificial stone,fiber reinforced cement
board siding with a minimum thickness of%inch, and prefinished metal.
2
3. Class III. Unpainted or surface painted concrete block(scored or unscored), unpainted
or surface painted plain or ribbed concrete panels, and unfinished or surface painted
metal.
b. Minimum class I materials.At least 60 percent of each building face visible from off the site
must be of class I materials except as permitted by subsection (b)(6)c. of this section. Not
more than 10 percent of each building face visible from off the site may be of class III
materials. Portions of buildings not visible from off the site may be constructed of greater
percentages of class II or class III materials if the structure otherwise conforms to all city
ordinances.The mixture of building materials must be compatible and integrated.
c. Buildings in I-G and I-P districts.
1. Not on major streets and not near residential. For buildings in the I-G and I-P districts
which are not located on a principal arterial, minor arterial, major collector,or
adjacent to or across from any residentially zoned property, class I materials may be
reduced to a minimum of 25 percent provided that the remaining materials are
functionally and durably equal to a class I material as certified by the architect or
manufacturer.
2. On major streets or near residential. For building walls in the I-G and I-P districts
facing on a principal arterial, minor arterial or major collector, or adjacent to or across
from any residentially-zoned property, class I materials may be reduced to a minimum
of 25 percent provided that the remaining materials are functionally and durably
equal to a class I material as certified by the architect or manufacturer and that the
architectural design and site plan are superior quality as determined by the zoning
administrator.The architecture and site plan shall meet the following minimum
criteria to be considered superior quality:
i.The exposed height of the building wall shall not exceed 15 feet.
ii.The number of required plant units shall be increased by 20 percent or the
size of 20 percent of the overstory trees installed shall be increased to 3 %z
caliper inches.
iii.A minimum of ten percent of the building facade must be windows or glass
spandrels.
(3) Additions and accessory structures.The exterior wall surface materials, roof treatment, colors,
textures, major divisions, proportion, rhythm of openings, and general architectural character, including
horizontal or vertical emphasis, scale, stylistic features of additions, exterior alterations, and new
accessory buildings shall address and respect the original architectural design and general appearance of
the principal buildings on the site and shall comply with the requirements of this section.
(4) Screening.
a.The visual impact of rooftop equipment shall be minimized using one of the following
methods. Where rooftop equipment is located on buildings and is visible within 400 feet from property
in an R district, only the items listed in subsections 1 and 2 shall be used.
3
1.A parapet wall.
2.A fence the height of which extends at least one foot above the top of the rooftop
equipment and incorporates the architectural features of the building.
3.The rooftop equipment shall be painted to match the roof or the sky,whichever is
most effective.
b. Utility service structures(such as utility meters, utility lines,transformers, aboveground
tanks); refuse handling; loading docks; maintenance structures; and other ancillary equipment
must be inside a building or be entirely screened from off-site views utilizing a privacy fence or
wall that is at least six feet in height.A chain link fence with slats shall not be accepted as
screening.
c.All utility services shall be underground except as provided elsewhere in this chapter.
(5) Parking ramps. All new parking ramps shall meet the following design standards:
a. Parking ramp facades that are visible from off the site shall display an integration of building
materials, building form,textures, architectural motif,and building colors with the principal
building.
b. No signs other than directional signs shall be permitted on parking ramp facades.
c. If the parking ramp is located within 20 feet of a street right-of-way or recreational trail,the
facade facing the street shall be subject to the same requirements for exterior surface
materials as for buildings.

Institutiona! and Commercial Buildin� Materials.The exterior of institutional and commercial
buildings, excluding city park structures, must include a variation in building materials and colors,
which are to be distributed throughout the building facades and coordinated into the architectural
design of the structure.
1. Acceptable exterior building materials include the following:
a. Brick or similar custom masonry unit having brick like appearance.
b. Natural or cementitious stone.
c. Architectural glass (i.e., curtain wall).
d. Architectural, single skin roll formed profiles metal panel, minimum 22 gauge.
e. Masonry stucco, or EFIS in conformance with ICC ES report.
f. Integrally colored split face (rock face), burnished or glazed concrete masonry units.
g. Integrally colored architecturally precast concrete panels having an exposed aggregate, light
sandblast, acid etch, form liner, natural stone veneer, brick face and/or cas#stone type finish
(excluding single-T or double-T panels, plain, uncolored, or raked finish).
2. 7he City Council may approve alternative materials or mix of materials provided the applicant
demanstrates the modification results in a better integration af the building with the
surrounding area.
3. Front facades and side and rear facades visible from a public right-of-way, parks and adjacent
residential uses must be compased of not more than 35 percent of any one acceptable material.
Brick with a distinctively different color may be considered a second material. Side and rear
facades not visible from a public right-of-way, parks and adjacent residential uses may use any
combination of acceptable material. Other materials may be used as accents if found they are
compatible with the listed materials and provided it does no# cover more than 15 percent of a
building face.
Moderate Density Residential
l. Buildin�Character.The design of buildings must have a comparable, compatible and
complementary relationship to surrounding land uses. Buildings must be designed with varied
exterior materials, setbacks and architectural features and details.
2. Development Guidelines. Developments must satisfy the following guidelines. Deterrnination
of whether these guidelines are satisfied will be made by the Planning Commission or by the City
Council after receiving a recommendation from the Planning Commission.
a. Buildin� Massin�. Articulate buifding massing, using methods including, but not limited to,
staggering building components, adding columns, recessing doorways, creating interesting
shapes and short, or uneven facades. Buildings facing each other across public or private
streets must have similar scale, massing and articulation.
5
b. Facades. Articulate building facades of both individual housing units and attached housing
groups or buildings through the use of staggering, arcades, porches, balconies, special window
treatments, ornamentation and unique details. Face entries to public and private streets and
orient garage doors away from public and private streets.
c. Varied Roof Shapes. Provide a variety af roof shapes, including, but not limited to pitched
roofs, dormers, chimneys,gable or hip roaf accents, and detailed parapets and cornices
creating interesting roof profiles.
d. Focal Features. Provide focal features to add interest or distinction to attached housing
graups or buildings using techniques such as elevating parts of buildings towers, or
emphasizing a prominent part of the building such as a corner or main entry or by using
features such as canopies, porticaes, overhangs, arcades, facade recesses and projections and
peaked roofs or raised parapets above doors or windaws.
e. Townhome Buildin� Materials. The exterior of tawnhome dwelling units must include a
variatian in building materials, which are to be distributed throughout the building facades
and coordinated into the architectural design af the structure. Exterior building materials

Minnetonka
The city has determined that development located in the planned i-394 district requires a high degree of
design quality. The high visibility of properties from the interstate frontage and the proximity of
development sites to single family residential neighborhoods dictate sensitive design
considerations. This section is intended to serve the public interest, maintain and enhance property
values and mitigate the impacts between adjacent land uses of different intensity through appropriate
design standards.
a) Architectural and site standards:
1) Building setbacks:the setback for all buildings within the planned I-394 district from any
bordering or abutting street shall be 35 feet for local and neighborhood collector streets and 50
feet from all other street classifications except that in no case shall the setback be less than the
height of a building up to a maximum of 100 feet. Building setbacks from internal public or
private streets shall be determined by the city based on the characteristics of a specific planned
I-394 district master development plan.
Building setbacks from lot lines on the exterior of a proposed development and not abutting a
public street or low density residential property shall be the height of a building up to a
maximum of 100 feet, but not less than SO feet. Building setbacks from lot lines on the exterior
of a proposed development and abutting lands designated for low density residential
development in the comprehensive plan shall be a minimum of two times the building height
unless unique circumstances are found which may allow the city to reduce the setback
requirement. Unique circumstances include substantial differences in site elevation, separation
by natural features such as wetlands or large stands of mature trees, or substantial visual
screening of a development by berms with landscaping. In no case shall the setback be less than
50 feet.
2) Building height: building height within the planned I-394 district is regulated by the
combination of building setback, floor area ratio and hardsurface coverage requirements established in
paragraph 1 above and in subdivision 4 of this section.Additionally,the city may establish stricter height
restrictions based on the characteristics of a specific planned I-394 district project. Stricter height
restrictions may be established if the following criteria are not met:
a. use of compact building footprints to de-emphasize height;
15
b. use of stepped buiiding heights to provide a visual transition towards areas
dominated by low buildings. This applies to both multiple building projects and
individual buildings;
c. clustering of taller buildings at areas in proximity to interchanges; or
d. location of taller buildings on natural lower base elevations.
3) Building height studies:for all structures exceeding three stories in height,the city may
require the following:
a. view-shed analysis: site sections and building views from all sides of a project and
from the directions most likely to impact nearby properties.This includes elevational
representation of building heights and topographic elevations within 1,000 feet of a
development; and
b. sun-shadow studies: shadow cast studies which project hourly shadows of a
proposed structure between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.on December
21st. Buildings which adversely impact light availability to nearby properties will not be
permitted.
4) Building materials:The Interstate-394 corridor is a highly visible regional corridor with high
levels of property investments and evolving redevelopment opportunities. Building materials in
the planned I-394 district must reflect this property investment and be generally consistent and
compatible with the architectural character of the district,which is defined by structures which
incorporate fa�ade materials of brick, dimension natural or man-made stone,glass, and
architectural-grade metal panels and a limited use of stucco and exterior insulated finishing
systems.
5) Parking: parking requirements contained in section 300.28, subd. 12, shall apply to all
development within the planned I-394 district.Additionally,the following shall apply:
a. structured parking required: all office or service commercial projects exceeding
100,000 square feet gross floor area shall include deck or ramp parking. The percentage
of required parking spaces to be included in structured parking shall be determined by
the city based on specific characteristics of the master development plan. The city may
16
require structured parking for retail development exceeding 200,000 square feet based
on specific characteristics of a master development plan;
b. surface parking lot setbacks: 20 feet from public streets and exterior project lot lines,
50 feet from exterior lot lines abutting an area designated as low density residential in
the comprehensive plan unless unique circumstances are found which may allow the
city to reduce the setback requirement. Unique circumstances include substantial
differences in site elevation, separation by natural features such as wetlands or large
stands of mature trees, or substantial visual screening the parking by berms and
landscaping. In no case shall the setback be less than 20 feet;
c. parking structure setbacks:the setback for parking structures including decks and
ramps shall be 35 feet from local streets and 50 feet from all other street classifications
except that in no case shall the setback be less than the height of the structure. Parking
structure setbacks from external lot lines shall be 50 feet or the height of the structure,
whichever is greater when adjacent to residential properties; 35 feet when adjacent to
non-residential properties. Parking structure setbacks from internal public or private
streets shall be determined by the city based on specific characteristics of a planned I-
394 district master development plan;
d. location of parking facilities:surface parking lots and parking structures shall be
located so that views from residential neighborhoods are screened. Parking structures
shall be located away from service road frontages unless they are given architectural
treatment equal to the building served by the parking structure and are buffered from
public views; and
e. parking structure exterior materials: exterior facades of parking structures shall be of
materials compatible with exterior materials of the principal building served by the
parking structure.
6) Signs: for development with approved master development plans, signs shall be restricted to
those which are permitted in a sign plan approved by the city, shall be regulated by permanent
covenants which can be enforced by the city, and shall be subject to city review and permit. For
existing properties without approved master development plans, signs shall be regulated
according to section 300.30 of this code by using the zoning designation of the property in effect
on the day prior to the effective date of this section.
17
7) Accessory equipment: all mechanica) and heating,ventilation, air conditioning equipment
shall be incorporated into the architecture of a building so as not to be visible from public views
or audible from residential neighborhoods.
8) Refuse storage and recycling: all master development plans shall designate refuse storage
sites. Exterior refuse locations shall be screened with a masonry enclosure of materials
compatible with the principal building. All buildings shall be designed to accommodate a refuse
recycling program and operated under a refuse recycling program as approved by the city.
b) Landscaping: in addition to the landscape plan requirements contained in section
300.27, subd. 14, the following requirements shall be met:
1) Master development plans shall undertake all efforts to preserve existing
natural features including wetlands/floodplain,trees and areas of steep slope
conditions.
2) All development other than single family residential development shall be
buffered from nearby single family neighborhoods. Buffering may be
accomplished through the preservation of existing slopes and trees. In cases
where natural buffers are absent, earthen berms with new landscape materials
shall be installed.
3) Landscape berms and buffers intended to screen development projects from
single family residential areas shall be installed with the commencement of
construction activity if determined appropriate by the city.
4) A minimum landscape plan investment of 2 percent of total project value is
required.
5) All new landscape trees and shrubs must meet the American Standard for
Nursery Stock and American National Standard relating to planting guidelines,
quality of stock and appropriate sizing of the root ball. Landscape trees must be
balled and burlapped or moved from the growing site by tree spade. Deciduous
trees will be not less than two inches but not more than four inches caliper for
balled and burlapped trees, and not less than four inches but not more than
eight inches caliper for spade-moved trees. Coniferous trees will not be less
than six feet in height but no more than eight feet for balled and burlapped
18
trees, and not less than eight feet in height but not more than fourteen feet for
spade-moved coniferous trees.
The city may ailow larger balled and burlapped or spade moved trees if these
trees are accompanied with a three year guarantee.
6) Surface parking lots shall be buffered with surrounding berms and
coniferous tree plantings.
7) Enhancement of the I-394 frontage shall be achieved by a mixture of a
variety of species and sizes of boulevard plantings.
c) Environmental protection: protection and enhancement of environmental elements
is determined to have a direct benefit on the quality of life and image of the I-394
corridor. All master development plans shall include the following:
1) Lighting plans: in addition to the requirements contained in section 300.28,
subd. 2 of this code, lighting plans shall include the following:
a. Building lighting plans. Accent lighting of buildings may be
� permitted subject to lighting plan review by the city. Floodlighting of
buildings shall be limited to building facades which are not in direct view
from residential areas.
b. Site lighting plans. Luminaires are to be located in recessed or boxed
fixtures to eliminate off-site direct views of the luminaire.
2) Wetlands/floodplain:wetlands and floodplain areas as identified on official
city maps shall be protected by the dedication of permanent conservation
easements.Alternatively,the protected lands may be dedicated to the city.
3) Drainage: drainage studies and calculations shall be required for review and
approval by the city and other appropriate review jurisdictions. Drainage plans
shall comply with the city water resources management plan.
4) Utility lines: master development plans shall include provisions for
underground utility lines wherever physically and economically feasible.
19
5) Noise: noise levels originating in the I-394 system require design sensitivity
and mitigative measures. Master development plans shall be designed with
attention to the following:
a. preservation of natural sound buffers;
b. installation of new sound buffers created by berming and
landscaping, particularly when residential development is included;
c. siting of non-residential buildings to function as sound barriers; and
d. exterior public address or speaker systems are not
permitted, unless specifically allowed for certain uses by this section.

Sec. 24-235. -Architecture, nanresidential buildings.
(a) Purpose. The purpose of this section is to establish minimum standards for exterior
architecture of commercial, affice, industrial, institutional and warehouse buildings and to
ensure a high quality of development, redevelopment and compatibility with evolving
architectural or planning themes that contribute to a cammunity image of quality, visual
aesthetics, permanence and stability which are in the best interest of the citizens of the city.
These standards are intended to prevent use of materials that are unsightly, deteriorate
rapidly, contribute to depreciation of area property values, or cause urban blight.
These standards are further intended to ensure coordinated design of building exteriors,
additions and accessory structure exteriors in order to prevent visual disharmony, minimize
adverse impacts on adjacent properties from buildings which are or may become unsightly,
and buildings that detract from the character and appearance of the area. It is not the intent
of this division to unduly restrict design freedam when reviewing and approving project
architecture in relationship to the proposed land use, site characteristics and interior building
layout. However, modifications to the exterior design may be required to promote
compatibility with the desired architecture in the immediate vicinity and/or the general
architectura{ character of the area and the city in general.
(1) Genera/design concept. Building and/or project designs may be required to
modify building materials, colors, details, site plan, landscape plantings, or other
features ta meet the intent of these architectural standards.
(2) Modifications. Projects may be required to utilize building ornamentation
features, including but not limited to: columns, arches, parapets, cornices, friezes,
canopies, moldings, dentils, corbels, quoins, rustication, vaults, domes, and cupolas.
(3) Corporate identity. The intent and purpose of the architectural standards
supersede corporate identity designs. When a corporate identity design does not
meet the intent and purpose of the architectural standards, the corporate identity
design shall be limited to the area immediately adjacent to the main entry and may
require modification to meet the intent of the ordinance.
26
(b)Applicability and review. This section shall apply to all commercial, office, institutional
and industrial buildings, additions, exterior remodeling and accessory structures, unless
different exterior materials are specifically approved.The review and approval process shall
