AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 850 OF THE CODE BY PROVIDING NEW
FLOOR AREA RATIO, SETBACK AND BUILDING HEIGHT STANDARDS FOR
PROPERTIES IN THE PLANNED COMMERCIAL DISTRICT — 3; REQUIRING THE
ISSUANCE OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS FOR CERTAIN USES IN THE
PLANNED COMMERCIAL DISTRICT —3; AND PROVIDING NEW SPECIAL
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE PLANNED
COMMERCIAL DISTRICT-3
Section 1. It is the purpose and intent of this ordinance to update the requirements and
standards of the City Code with respect to the development of properties in the PCD-3
subdistrict. The PCD-3 subdistrict was originally established, in part, for the purpose of
accommodating department stores or shopping centers of regional significance which, due to
their size, did not fit into the PCD-1 or PCD-2 subdistricts which provide for commercial uses
in a neighborhood and community setting respectively. The PCD-3 subdistrict is presently
confined to that part of the City bounded by West 66'' Street, Valley View Road and France
Avenue, Gallagher Drive extended and the east City limits
The City Council, based in part upon the findings of the Greater Southdale Area Land Use and
Transportation Study dated December 2005, finds that:
A. The present standards and requirements of the PCD-3 subdistrict as contained in
Section 850 of the City Code no longer reflect appropriate development intensities
given the regional significance of the Greater Southdale Area as a shopping
destination.
B. The present standards and requirements of the PCD-3 subdistrict impose
restrictions on properties such that development densities are significantly less than
standards imposed by Section 850 on other planned commercial districts in the City
and less than standards imposed on other properties in the Greater Southdale Area
zoned Regional Medical District and Mixed Development District.
C. The imposition of the aforementioned standards may have the effect of chilling the
development and redevelopment potential in the PCD-3 subdistrict to the detriment
of the entire City.
D. The provision of a mixture of uses within the Planned Commercial District is
desirable and contributes to the continued viability of the Greater Southdale Area.
Section 2. Subsection 850.01 of the City Code is amended by adding a new penultimate
paragraph as follows:
"The Council also finds that the Greater Southdale area, especially that portion
contained within the Planned Commercial District is of vital interest to the welfare of
the entire City and, therefore, the Council hereby adopts the following additional
objectives with respect to this area:
A. To contribute to maintaining and enhancing the Greater Southdale Area as a
unique and vibrant regional retail destination.
B. To encourage a range of housing types within the Greater Southdale Area.
1
C. To encourage a mixed use shopping, living and working environment that
meets the needs of residents and visitors and helps mitigate the effects of traffic
by reducing vehicle trips and miles by allowing residences in close proximity to
employment and services..
D. To increase the allowed density of development in the PCD-3 subdistrict to be
more comparable with other planned commercial districts in the City and other
zoning districts in the Greater Southdale Area and to permit a level of
development intensity appropriate for the area.
E. To reduce setback requirements from public street rights of way in order to
encourage and permit a closer relationship between storefronts and streetscapes.
F. To ensure that residential development in the PCD-3 subdistrict is compatible
with non-residential uses.
G. To more efficiently utilize public infrastructure by taking advantage of peak
demand variations among land uses.
H. To allow a density of development that improves the feasibility of mass transit
services utilized by residents, shoppers and employees of the Greater Southdale
Area.
I. To provide incentives to encourage affordable and life cycle housing.
J. To encourage development of an active pedestrian environment and pedestrian
accessibility to and among developments.
K. To encourage the inclusion of green spaces, open space, locations for public
art, landscape buffers, parks, plazas, fountains, water retention areas and other
similar spaces for the use and enjoyment of residents, visitors and employees
and to enhance the quality of the human and physical environment.

"O. Standards for Residential Dwelling Units.
1. No part of any dwelling unit shall be located in a basement or on the first
story of a building in the PCD-1 or the PCD-2 subdistricts.
2. In the PCD-1 and the PCD-2 subdistricts, the floor area of that portion of a
building used for multi-residential purposes shall not be included for the
purpose of calculating the maximum floor area ratio allowed by Paragraph
A of Subd. 11 of this Subsection.
3. In the PCD-3 subdistrict, the floor area of buildings or portions thereof
used for multi- residential purposes shall be included for the purpose of
calculating the maximum floor area ratio allowed by Paragraph A of Subd.
11 of this Subsection.
4. In the PCD-3 subdistrict, the maximum floor area ratio allowed by
Paragraph A of Subd. 11 of this Subsection may be increased by .25 by
including the floor areas of dwelling units classified as affordable housing

Section 11. Paragraph BB of Subd. 1 of Subsection 850.08 is amended by adding a new
subparagraph 3 as follows:
"3. Multi-Residential Uses. One fully-enclosed parking space for each
dwelling unit, except that dwelling units with a floor area in excess of 1,500
square feet must provide 1.50 fully-enclosed parking spaces per dwelling unit.
Such parking spaces must be designed for the exclusive use of residents of the
dwelling units and their guests. The Council may require the provision of
exposed parking spaces in addition to the required enclosed spaces as a
condition to the issuance of a conditional use permit.
Section 12. Subd. 12 of Subsection 850.16 is amended by inserting new paragraphs C, D, E
and F as follows and renumbering existing paragraphs C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N, and O as
G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R and S respectively.
"C. Setbacks for PCD-3. The minimum building setback required by
Paragraph B of Subd. 11 of this subsection shall be increased as follows:
1. In the area bounded by France Avenue on the west , York Avenue on
the east and W. 70' Street on the south, the minimum building setback
shall be increased by 1/3 foot for each foot that the building exceeds 50
feet in building height. For purposes hereof, only those portions of
buildings which exceeds 50 feet in building height need provide the
additional setbacks required by this paragraph.
4
2. In all other areas, the minimum building setback shall be equal to the
building height for buildings taller than 50 feet.
Notwithstanding the requirement of this subsection, the City encourages i)
ground level retail and service uses that create an active pedestrian and
streetscape environment and ii) pedestrian connections by way of skyways and
tunnels and, therefore, the City Council will consider exceptions to setback
requirements for these purposes.
D. Maximum Building Height in PCD-3. Maximum building height in the
PCD-3 subdistrict shall be as follows:
1. In the area bounded by France Avenue on the west, York Avenue
on the east and W. 70`' Street on the south, the maximum building

required setback.
E. Travel Demand Management. Final development plans for any office
use in the PCD-3 subdistrict which requires the issuance of a conditional use
permit shall include a travel demand management (TDM) plan prepared by an
independent TDM professional. The plan must document TDM measures and
performance measures to be implemented. Approval of the TDM plan by the
City shall be a condition of the issuance of the conditional use permit.
F. On Site Sanitary Sewerage Retention System. This paragraph applies
to properties served by Metropolitan Sewer Interceptor No. I-RF-491 Final
development plans for any new buildings or uses in the PCD-3 subdistrict that
require the issuance of a conditional use permit shall include plans for storage
tanks and other facilities designed to retain on site sanitary sewer discharges
during peak flow conditions that would otherwise enter the City's sanitary
sewer system. Such plans must be prepared by a registered professional
engineer acceptable to the City. The plans must provide for facilities designed
to prevent discharges to the sanitary sewer system during peak flow conditions,
as defined by the City Engineer, in amounts and volumes that exceed
discharges that existed prior to construction of the buildings and uses proposed
by the final development plans. Approval of the sanitary sewer retention
system shall be a condition of the conditional use permit and shall be approved
by the City Engineer.

"Parking ramps shall comply with the requirements of Paragraph G of Subd 5 of this
Subsection 850.08.

5
"G. Parking Ramps. In addition to the general requirements described in Subsection
850.07, the following special requirements shall apply to parking ramps:
1. The front street and side street setback shall be not less than 20 feet and the
interior side yard and rear yard shall be not less than 10 feet. The minimum
setbacks shall be increased by one foot for every foot that the parking ramp
exceeds 20 feet in height. No parking ramp or any part thereof, shall be located
within 50 feet of the nearest lot line of any property in an R-1 District used for
residential purposes.
2. The front street or side street setback for parking ramps and garages, and other
structures, shall be increased to 50 feet when the ramp, garage or structure is
located across the street from a property in an R-1 District used for residential
purposes.
3. All exterior wall finishes of a parking ramp shall be of materials that
architecturally complement the building or buildings that the parking ramp serves
through the use of exterior materials, architectural elements and colors and shall be
one or a combination of the following:
a. Face brick.
b. Natural stone.
c. Specially designed precast concrete units if the surfaces have been
integrally treated with an applied decorative material or texture.
4. Parking ramps must include architectural elements that enhance the structure,
reduce its perceived mass and complement the building or buildings that it serves.
Architectural elements shall include decorative pilasters, banding, reveals, accents,
wall plane articulation, facade treatments, and ornamental grillwork as
appropriate.
5. Parking ramps must include screening or other appropriate design elements to
screen the visibility of vehicle headlights from outside of the parking ramp.
6. The City encourages parking ramp designs that include ground floor retail,
service and other uses, allowed by the zoning district in which the parking ramp is
located. Such uses which are integrated into the parking ramp structure need not
maintain front street and side street setbacks greater than that required for the
parking ramp.
Section 15. Subsection 850.07 is amended by adding a new Subd 24 as follows:
"Subd 24 Sidewalks, Trails, Bicycle Facilities. In order to promote and provide safe and
effective sidewalks and trails in the City and encourage the use of bicycles for recreation
and transportation, the following improvements are required, as a condition of approval,
on developments requiring the approval of a Final Development Plan or the issuance of a
conditional use permit pursuant to Subsection 850.04. The expense of such improvements
shall be borne by the applicant.
6
A. It is the policy of the City to require the construction of sidewalks and trails
wherever feasible so as to encourage pedestrian and bicycle connectivity
throughout the City. Therefore, developments shall provide sidewalks and trails
which adjoin the applicant's property i) in locations shown on the City's sidewalk
and trail plan and ii) in other locations where the Council finds that the provision
of such sidewalks and trails enhance public access to mass transit facilities or
connections to other existing or planned sidewalks, trails or public facilities.
B. Developments shall provide sidewalks between building entrances and sidewalks or
trails which exist or which will be constructed pursuant to this Subd.
C. Developments shall provide direct sidewalk and trail connections with adjoining
properties where appropriate.
D. Developments must provide direct sidewalk and trail connections to transit stations
or transit stops adjoining the property.
E. Design standards for sidewalks and trails shall be prescribed by the Engineer.
F. Non-residential developments having an off-street automobile parking requirement
of 20 or more spaces must provide off-street bicycle parking spaces where bicycles
may be parked and secured from theft by their owners. The minimum number of
bicycle parking spaces required shall be five percent of the automobile parking
space requirement. The design and placement of bicycle parking spaces and
bicycle racks used to secure bicycles shall be subject to the approval of the
Engineer. Whenever possible, bicycle parking spaces shall be located within 50
feet of a public entrance to a principal building.
Section 16. This ordinance shall be in full and effect upon passage and publication.
