Location: 16540 Beverly Drive
Request for:
Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-13.5 on 5.35 acres
Preliminary Plat of 5.35 acres into 10 lots, 3 outlots and road right of way on
5.35 acres
Mike Suel, developer and builder for the property owner, presented the proposal.
He said they would like to build 10 lots on 5 acres of land. This is a continuation
Planning Commission Minutes
January 26, 2015
Page 2
of a proposal from last year. Mr. Suel stated they have been in agreement with
the City Staff on everything except for the outlots and will work more with the
City on that.
Chair Stoltz asked Klima to review the staff report. Klima said on the golden rod
annotated agenda there is a change. The motion has been modified and staff
recommendation is for approval based on the conditions listed in the staff report.
Egan asked if the motion should include some different language than what is
listed. Klima said the golden rod annotated agenda includes the appropriate
language.
Frank asked what the pluses and minuses would be if the outlots are acquired by
the City. Klima explained using the overhead projector. She showed the two
outlots of concern; outlots B and C. The intent of outlot C to be deeded to the
City would be to ensure that it is included with future adjacent development in the
future. Outlot B would be utilized for a future connection to Prospect Road.
Chair Stoltz asked Mr. Suel what his point of view was on this issue. Mr. Suel
said with outlot B they have purchased this property and if it is not going to be
needed for the connection to Prospect Road they would like to add it in to the
adjacent lots. With outlot C it should stay with the land to the south. Mr. Suel
said he wanted to make sure the Commission and City were aware of their
concerns.
Egan asked if the motion should include the issue that both of these outlots are
still under consideration. Klima said they could be addressed in the motion.
Chair Stoltz opened the meeting up for public input. There was no input.
MOTION by Higgins, seconded by Egan, to close the public hearing. Motion
carried 6-0.
MOTION by Higgins, seconded by Frank, to recommend approval of the Zoning
District Change from Rural to R1-13.5 on 5.35 acres; Preliminary Plat of 5.35
acres into 10 lots, 3 outlots and road right of way on 5.35 acres based on the
preliminary grading alternate connection plan prepared November 14, 2014, plan
set prepared December 2, 2014, and the information included in the staff report
dated January 26, 2015; noting that condition number 2C may be revised as the
project proponent and City Staff work at revising issues related to the outlots.
B. VARIANCE #2014-08 by Gary Aulik
Location: 10625 Mount Curve Road
Request to:
Permit a front yard setback for the parking lot of 14.8 feet at its closest point,
City Code requires a 35 foot front yard setback.
To permit 24 foot drive aisles for the parking lot, City Code requires 25 feet.
Planning Commission Minutes
January 26, 2015
Page 3
To permit 10 parking spaces to be 8 feet wide, City Code requires 9 feet.
Gary Aulik, representing Olympic Hills Golf Course, presented the proposal. He
started out by stating they have exhausted all possibilities in regards to parking.
They have 172 spaces and there is no storm water run-off. He stated they would
like narrow driver aisles than are required by City Code. They have been working
closely with the City Staff and are coming here tonight with three requests.
Chair Stoltz asked Klima to review the staff report. Klima said there are three
variances requested tonight and staff recommends approval based on the staff
report.
Wuttke stated they are at the minimal allowable size, but need more parking.
Egan said there was a private residence that may be impacted by the change and
asked if they were in agreement with the request. Mr. Aulik said they had a
meeting a few weeks ago, inviting all of the residents in the area. There were 25
residents in attendance but not the specific residence Egan referred to. Mr. Aulik
said the view of the wall will be broken up from the street. There will be an
abundance of planting that will take place.
Pieper asked if more trees will be planted. Mr. Aulik said yes, there would be
more trees planted, along with plantings and shrubs. He stated they have done
their best to provide for rain water drainage and landscaping.
Chair Stoltz opened the meeting up for public input.
Edward Getsch, who stated he lives directly across the street from the parking lot,
said what bothers him the most is changing the landscaping. He stated they are
going to be removing old evergreen trees to move the parking lot. The wall will
be 8 feet high and will stick out like a sore thumb. Mr. Getsch said if the project
proponent would remove the islands in the parking lot, there would be plenty of
room and they would not have to do anything.
Chair Stoltz asked Klima if the islands could be removed. Klima said removing
the islands would require a different variance request. Staff did communicate to
Mr. Aulik that a certain amount of parking space would have to include island
areas.
Chair Stoltz asked Mr. Aulik about removing the islands. Mr. Aulik said they
wanted more green space so that is why the islands were included. He said they
could remove them but it would require a lot of reconfiguration. Egan said if the
islands could not be removed then could construction be eliminated on the wall.
Mr. Aulik said that would not be possible. He also stated the golf course does
have a right to build a retaining wall. They will make sure it is beautiful because
they do not want to create an eye sore for the golf course.
Planning Commission Minutes
January 26, 2015

Frank said the purpose of the parking islands is to bring green space to the
parking lot. Mr. Aulik concurred that is correct. Frank said if he was a neighbor
and his visual was to go from natural to artificial, he would not like that. Frank
asked if there would be any way to keep it more natural. Mr. Aulik said they have
worked with many alternatives with the City and this is what they came up with.
He stated that a retaining wall is definitely needed. Mr. Aulik utilized the
overhead projector to show what this area would look like. He showed the
setback areas and said without the green spaces in the parking lot they could
manipulate the corner and move the retaining wall back just a bit, but then they
are dealing with the storm water issues. In order to raise the grade of the parking
lot, they would have to include the retaining wall in the plan. Frank asked if they
could do a better job of masking the retaining wall.
David Patton, landscape architect for the project, said the existing trees taken out
are Blue Spruce. The ones they would be planting would look more new and
appealing. They are taking out 5 evergreens and putting much more in. Mr.
Patton showed where the trees would be located and prefaced they would provide
screening. Frank asked if there could be more screening by the neighbors’ views.
Mr. Patton said they could accommodate that request and plan to plant numerous
plantings in the area. The retaining wall will be covered with vines. He reiterated
that they will work with the neighbors’ concerns. Chair Stoltz asked what percent
of the retaining wall would be seen. Mr. Patton said it would be between 20-25%
visible.
Mr. Getsch said it makes him mad because they are talking about making the
parking lot green, but then they are going to put up a retaining wall. He stated he
was not concerned with the light, but is concerned with the wall and how close it
is to the street. He asked why they cannot make more space for parking by going
south into the golf course area.
Mr. Aulik said there really are not any more alternatives for parking. He stated
they have to make sure all spots are ADA accessible. He pointed out they are
trying to make this project more visually pleasing.
Pieper asked if the islands were taken out, would the retaining wall still need to be
built. Mr. Aulik said the wall would still need to be constructed.
Klima reiterated the requests to be considered tonight are the three variances.
Pieper asked if the Planning Commission would ever review the request to build a
retaining wall. Klima stated the retaining walls are reviewed administratively.
Chair Stoltz asked Rue if there was another alternative besides a retaining wall.
Rue said because of the grade difference in the parking lot, he does not see
another alternative.
Wuttke said it looks like there had been considerable effort by the City and Mr.
Aulik to adequately screen the area. The only question would be what type and
amounts of plantings would be in the setback area. Mr. Aulik said it would be
Planning Commission Minutes
January 26, 2015
Page 5
predominately grass. To break up the wall, it would be a lot of plantings around
the area itself and stated there will be a lot of large plantings in the area. Wuttke
said natural grasses would help with rain water. Mr. Patton showed a visual of
the plantings that would go into the area. He stated the intent is to mask or
balance the wall and plantings.
MOTION by Wuttke, seconded by Egan, to close the public hearing. Motion
carried 6-0.
MOTION by Wuttke, seconded by Mary, to recommend approval of the Final
Order 2014-008 based on plans stamp dated January 20, 2015 and the information
included in the staff report dated January 26, 2015. Motion carried 6-0.
C. PUD AMENDMENT FOR THE APARTMENTS AT CITY WEST by City
of Eden Prairie
Location: City West Parkway
Request for:
Planned Unit Development Amendment with waivers on 13.5 acres
Zoning District Amendment on 13.5 acres
Julie Klima presented this proposal. She said the City West apartments received
approval back in 1985. As a result of Shady Oak Trail, this may impact a loss of
5 stalls on the site. They are asking the City to amend the PUD.
Wuttke asked in the future could we have another discussion about parking stalls.
Klima said 7 stalls have been impacted and 2 have already been relocated. The
property owner has not expressed concern with losing the 5 stalls; they want to
make sure they have the proper City approvals.
Chair Stoltz opened the meeting up for public input. There was no input.
MOTION by Wuttke, seconded by Egan, to close the public hearing. Motion
carried 6-0.
MOTION by Wuttke, seconded by Frank, to recommend approval of the Planned
Unit Development Amendment with waivers on 13.5 acres and Zoning District
Amendment on 13.5 acres based on plans dated April 22, 2014, and the
information included in the staff report dated January 26, 2015. Motion carried

STAFF REPORT
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Regina Rojas, Senior Planner
DATE: February 9, 2015
SUBJECT: Transit Oriented Development Ordinance
SYNOPSIS
Staff will present a PowerPoint presentation including a comparison of the Town Center
ordinance and will identify the next steps including additional public outreach, Comprehensive
Guide Plan changes, and ordinance adoption. The Commission will have the opportunity to
provide additional input on the draft ordinance and implementation strategy as staff prepares for
next steps.
BACKGROUND
With Metropolitan Council LCDA TOD grant funds the City hired consultant, HKGi, to prepare
a draft TOD Zoning District Ordinance applicable to all 5 proposed light rail stations within
Eden Prairie including: City West, Golden Triangle, Town Center, Southwest and Mitchell Road.
In 2014, through discussion of the proposed ordinance with the City Council, Planning
Commission, Conservation Commission, Chamber of Commerce Government Committee, City
staff and other stakeholders a working draft of the TOD Ordinance was completed.
The draft ordinance includes the following topics: the Purpose, Applicability, Development
Standards, Building Standards, Off Street Vehicle Parking Standards, On-Site Pedestrian/Bike
Facility Standards, Landscaping and Open Space Standards, and a requirement for Supplemental
Analysis or Study.
REQUESTED COMMISSION ACTION
The Planning Commission should be prepared to provide feedback on the following
considerations:
Should the TOD ordinance limit height and density?
Should the TOD ordinance incorporate a higher design standard?
Should the TOD ordinance provide flexibility to developer’s incorporating features above
and beyond the minimum requirements?
Should the TOD ordinance apply to the general areas described in the draft ordinance?
Discussion of utilization of the TOD ordinance or the Town Center Zoning in the Town
Center area.
Discussion of potential exemptions to the standards or tiered application of TOD
standards.
Any additional questions or ideas that Planning Commission members wish to share.

SECTION 11.__. TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT (TOD) ORDINANCE
Subd. 1. Purposes.
The intent of the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) zoning ordinance is to provide for
development of attractive, compact, pedestrian-friendly, high density, environmentally and
economically sustainable, transit-oriented areas which allow a complementary mix of land uses.
A TOD land use pattern supports transit system investments, optimizes development
opportunities, and helps achieve many goals and policies outlined in the Eden Prairie
Comprehensive Plan. To support the intent of Transit Oriented Development (TOD), the specific
purposes of the TOD zoning districts are to:
A. Promote high density development within convenient walking and biking distance of a transit
station, including increased residential densities, employee densities, and non-residential
floor area ratios (FARs);
B. Accommodate a complementary mix of market-supportive land uses including residential,
office, public (buildings, plazas, open spaces), light industrial, and where appropriate, select
commercial uses;
C. Ensure building and site design is oriented to public spaces – streets, sidewalks, plazas,
open spaces, and the transit station – and emphasizes a pedestrian-friendly environment;
D. Support an urban design pattern that encourages active living and healthy mobility choices,
including walking, biking, riding scooters, and rollerblading, and includes accommodations
for persons with disabilities to connect to transit;
E. Promote strategies and designs that decrease parking needs and requirements, including
compact/mixed-use development patterns, on-street parking, joint use parking, structured
parking, access to transit and shuttle services, bike sharing, and car sharing;
F. Incorporate public amenities such as parks and plazas, civic spaces, public art, landscaped
streetscapes, benches, and sidewalks/trails that provide connections between development
sites, transit, and the City’s overall sidewalk/trail network;
G. Incorporate urban design principles that promote the safety and comfort of residents,
employees, visitors, and transit riders;
H. Promote high quality and attractive building forms that contribute to a positive City image
and sense of place, and enhance the streetscape environment for pedestrians, bicyclists,
transit riders, and vehicular drivers; and
I. Incorporate sustainability principles relating to building lifespan, reuse and recycling of
materials, energy and water efficiency, storm water management, and economic resilience
through lower operating costs.

There are three (3) Transit Oriented Development (TOD) zoning districts:
A. The TOD-Mixed Use (TOD-MU) district encourages high-density, mixed-use, and
pedestrian-oriented development that supports transit usage. The TOD MU district would
generally be applied closest to the transit station.
B. The TOD-Residential (TOD-R) district allows for moderate- to high-density residential
development with some allowance for select commercial uses. The TOD-R district would
generally be applied farther out from the transit station and provide more latitude in density
and street frontage requirements while still promoting transit-supportive densities and
pedestrian-oriented urban design
C. The TOD-Employment (TOD-E) district allows for moderate- to high-density office, light
industrial, and institutional development with some allowance for select commercial uses.
The TOD-E district would generally be applied farther out from the transit station and
provide more latitude in density and street frontage requirements while still promoting
transit-supportive densities and pedestrian-oriented urban design
The individual TOD district standards are described in Subdivision 3.
Subd. 2. Applicability.
The Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) districts may be applied to lands designated on the
Comprehensive Plan land use map and generally within the 10-minute walkshed (the area
within a 10-minute walking distance, or roughly a half-mile) of an existing or planned commuter
bus or light rail transit station. Beyond the 10-minute walkshed areas, the TOD Districts may
also be applicable, yet it is discretionary.
All land uses and development including, but not limited to: buildings, major building additions,
private drives and access roads, parking areas, landscaping, open spaces, and
pedestrian/bicycle ways designated to be within the TOD District, shall be located and
developed in accordance with the provisions in this ordinance.
The standards of the TOD District shall not apply to development for which approval was
granted prior to the adoption of these regulations and for development for which the City has
issued building permits prior to adoption of these regulations. Minor building additions and
rehabilitation/reuse of existing buildings will be reviewed.
Subd. 3. District Development Standards.
The following tables and diagrams include development standards for each of the three TOD
zoning districts and are intended to illustrate the desired character, form, and scale of
development within each district. Additional standards and required conditions that apply across
all of the TOD zoning districts are addressed in Subdivisions 4 through 8 of this section.
Draft - Eden Prairie TOD Ordinance
February 9, 2015 Planning Commission Meeting

A. Development Standards: Transit Oriented Development - Mixed Use (TOD-MU)
The TOD-Mixed Use (TOD-MU) district encourages high-density, mixed-use, and pedestrian-
oriented development that supports transit usage. The TOD-MU district would generally be
applied closest to the transit station. Buildings are mid- to high-rise structures with active ground
floor uses. A mix of office, residential, hotel, and institutional uses, along with ground floor
shops, services, and restaurants encourage activity throughout the day, and provide residents,
visitors, transit riders, and employees with amenities and services that support their day-to-day
needs within convenient walking distance.
The TOD MU district features a high-density development pattern with stacked mixed-use buildings.
Requirements for street-fronted architecture, minimial setbacks, and active ground floor uses contribute to a
more safe and walkable street environment. To that end, on-site surface parking is prohibited and parking
ramps with street frontage must be lined with active uses at the ground level and screened on upper floors.

B. Development Standards: Transit Oriented Development - Residential (TOD-R)
The Transit Oriented Development – Residential (TOD-R) district allows for a mix moderate to
high-density housing, including stacked and attached residential building types, as well as
limited mixed-use development. Land uses in the TOD-R district are predominantly residential
with a small amount of select commercial uses (ground floor retail, services, and restaurants)
that support the day-to-day needs of residents.The TOD-R district would generally be applied
farther out from the transit station and provide more latitude in density and street frontage
requirements while still promoting transit-supportive densities and pedestrian-oriented urban
design.
The TOD-R district features stacked and attached residential building types, as well as mixed-use building with
active ground-floor uses. Requirements for street-fronted architecture and structured parking contribute to a
more safe and walkable street environment. Slightly deeper setbacks allow for additional landscaping, gardens,
and small front or side yards. Street-facing architectural details such as porches, stoops, and balconies
encourage social interaction and contribute to the safety and comfort of the public realm.

C. Development Standards: Transit Oriented Development - Employment (TOD-E)
The Transit Oriented Development – Employment (TOD-E) district allows for a mix of moderate-
to high-density office, light industrial, and institutional development with some allowance for
select commercial uses. The TOD-E district will feature stacked office and mixed use buildings
as well as multi-story flex buildings that can accommodate a range of living wage employment
opportunities at higher densities. Retail, services, and showrooms are allowed in the district but
limited to smaller scale businesses that support the needs of district employees or complement
existing light industrial or office uses. The TOD-E district would generally be applied farther out
from the transit station and provide more latitude in density and street frontage requirements
while still promoting transit-supportive densities and pedestrian-oriented urban design.
The TOD-E district features stacked office and mixed use buildings, as well as multistory flex buildings.
Requirements for street-fronted architecture contribute to a more safe and walkable street environment.Slightly
deeper setbacks allow for additional landscaping, plazas, and other types of open space. Street-adjacent
features such as a canopy, awnings, plazas, and courtyards create a safe and welcoming environment.

Subd. 4. Building Standards.
All new buildings shall provide pedestrian-oriented design features along streets, sidewalks,
pedestrian ways, and pedestrian areas. Buildings and developments shall comply with the
following standards for building design and pedestrian orientation:
A. Buildings shall have a primary entrance facing a public sidewalk or public open space.
Building entrances must be provided at least every sixty (60) feet along the street-facing
side of the building. Building entrances may include doors to individual businesses, lobby
entrances, and entrances to plazas or courtyards. Building entrances shall be open to the
public during all business hours.
B. Primary building entrances shall be architecturally emphasized and highly visible from the
street, sidewalk, or pedestrian way, utilizing design features such as protruding or recessed
entryways, awnings, canopies, pillars, unique building materials and/or architectural details.
Residential buildings shall incorporate elements such as porches, stoops, and balconies that
enhance the safety and comfort of the public realm.
C. Large buildings are required to incorporate articulation in street-facing façades. Articulation
can create the impression that one building is two or more buildings, improve the building’s
overall composition and aesthetic, and contribute to a more visually interesting and walkable
street environment. Articulation includes recesses in the building façade, material changes,
or other methods of building articulation that break down the perceived scale of the building
or create visual interest.
D. For mixed-use and non-residential buildings, windows on street-facing ground floor façades
shall be 100 percent clear in order to allow views of indoor non-residential space or product
display areas and contribute positively to a more active and vibrant street environment. See
tables and diagrams in Subdivision 3 for street frontage transparency requirements specific
to each district.
Subd. 5. Off-Street Vehicle Parking Standards
In general, the intent is for developments to provide a reduced number of off-street parking
spaces to account for availability of joint use parking, parking efficiencies resulting from a
compact mixed-use development pattern, on-street parking, transit, walking, and bicycling.
Specific minimum and maximum off-street vehicle parking standards for uses within the TOD
ordinance are established for each district in Subdivision 3
A. The location and quantity of off-street parking will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis as
part of the development review process. On-site parking requirements can be reduced if the
applicant can demonstrate meeting the requirement through joint use, district, off-site, or on-
street parking.
B. Off-street surface parking is prohibited in front of buildings (i.e. between the building and the
street). Parking shall be provided to the rear or side of buildings. For properties that abut
multiple streets (i.e. corner lots), surface parking is prohibited between the building and the
primary street, but may be permitted between the building and the secondary street (primary
and secondary street designations are determined through the site plan review process).
C. For new development occurring within the TOD Districts, on-street parking along the use’s
lot frontage shall count towards the parking requirements for uses on the lot set forth within
the regulations of this District. This count shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.
D. All parking structures must be designed to be adaptable for non-parking reuses in the future.
Draft - Eden Prairie TOD Ordinance
February 9, 2015 Planning Commission Meeting
13
E. Parking structure facades visible from public streets and public space, must architecturally
complement the building or buildings the parking structure serves through the use of exterior
materials, architectural elements, and color. Parking structures must include architectural
elements that enhance the structure, break up its mass, and complement the building or
buildings the parking structure serves. Examples of specific architectural elements that may
assist in meeting this requirement include decorative piers and pilasters, banding, reveals,
architectural accents, wall plane articulation, decorative artwork, ornamental grillwork,
recessed window openings, façade treatment variations, and locating tenant signs on the
side of parking ramps.
F. Parking structures may also incorporate liner buildings that screen the parking structure
with active street-level uses. Liner building may include upper floor uses, or may utilize
appropriate architectural elements as described above.
Subd. 6. On-Site Pedestrian/Bike Facility Standards.
A. An on-site sidewalk or multi-use trail shall be provided that connects the front door of the
building to adjacent public sidewalks or trails that are either existing or part of an approved
city trail plan or CIP.
B. Bicycle parking shall be provided on-site at the following ratios
1. Office - 1 space per 3,000 square feet of office gross floor area, minimum;
2. Commercial - 1 space per 5,000 square feet of gross floor area, minimum
3. Light Industrial - 1 space per 5,000 square feet of gross floor area, minimum;
4. Residential - 1 space per 2 dwelling units, minimum.
C. Secured. Bike lockers and racks shall be securely anchored to the ground and on a hard
surface.
D. Location. Bicycle parking shall be located within 50 feet of the primary building entrance.
E. Covered secure spaces. If twenty (20) or more bicycle spaces are required, then at least fifty
(50) percent of the required bicycle spaces shall be covered. Coverage may be provided
under roof overhangs or awnings, in bicycle lockers, within adjacent or accessory parking
structures or under underground parking structures.
Subd. 7. Landscaping and Open Space Standards.
A. All sites and buildings within the TOD district shall comply with Screening and Landscaping
standards established in Section 11.03 Subd 3(G) of Chapter 11 of the City Code, except for
Items 4.(a). Minimum Size Requirements for Plantings and 4. (b) Total Caliper Inches
Required. The following standards apply within the TOD district in lieu of said Items 4.(a)
and 4.(b):
1. Minimum Size Requirements for Plantings: Deciduous overstory plantings shall be a
minimum of three (3) caliper inches; deciduous understory trees shall be a minimum
of two (2) caliper inches; and coniferous trees shall be a minimum of eight (8) feet in
height.
2. Total Caliper Inches Required: A minimum of three (3) caliper inches of trees shall
be provided for every 500 square feet of on-site pervious surface area or portion
thereof.
B. Due to the urban character of the TOD District, less landscaping space will be available
typically than in other zoning districts. Therefore a higher level of landscaping design detail
Draft - Eden Prairie TOD Ordinance
February 9, 2015 Planning Commission Meeting

is required for the concentrated open space, pervious surface areas, plazas, planters,
screening areas and streetscape areas. Rooftop gardens and green roofs are encouraged.
A detailed landscape plan prepared by a landscape architect shall be submitted with the
development application. Other public realm amenities are encouraged, such as plazas,
courtyards, fountains, outdoor art, roof top gardens and green roofs, and other decorative
elements.
C. The following open space forms are permitted to meet the requirements for usable outdoor
open space:
Pocket park: An open space available for passive recreation. A pocket park may be
spatially defined by landscaping rather than building frontages and may be linear in form or
shape. A pocket park shall consist of a landscaped and maintained lawn, trees, and seating
areas that are naturalistically disposed. The minimum size shall be approximately 0.5 acres.
Square: An open space available for passive recreation and civic purposes. A square is
spatially defined by building frontages. Its landscape shall consist of paths, lawns, trees,
hardscape, and public art formally disposed. Squares shall be located at the intersection of
important main streets. There shall be no minimum size for a square.
Plaza: An open space available for public use, community events, and/or commercial
activities. A plaza shall be spatially defined by building frontages. Its landscape shall consist
primarily of hardscape, plantings, public art, and trees. There shall be no minimum size for a
plaza.
Play area: An open space designed and equipped for the recreation of children. A play area
shall be fenced and may include an open shelter. Play areas shall be interspersed within
residential or mixed use areas and may be placed within a block. Play areas may be
included within parks and greens. There shall be no minimum or maximum size.
Pedestrian way: Natural or landscaped walking paths and running trails.
Landscape strips or enlargements/enhancements of landscaping areas adjacent to the
sidewalk; shrubs, flowers and other low profile landscaping around buildings, sidewalks and
parking areas; required minimum building setback areas; yards associated with private
dwellings; or outdoor areas that prohibit public or resident access during normal business
hours for the area shall not constitute usable outdoor open space.
Subd. 8. Supplemental Analysis or Study.
A. All development and zoning requests in the TOD District must include a trip generation
analysis that indicates the traffic impacts on the overall area and demonstrates that the
proposed development is not in conflict with the area’s traffic and transportation
infrastructure.
B. All new development plans for office and light industrial uses must include a travel demand
management (TDM) plan prepared by an independent TDM professional under the
supervision of the City and paid for by the applicant. The plan shall document TDM
measures to be implemented, performance criteria, and compliance enforcement measures.
TDM strategies to be considered in the TDM plan include guaranteed ride home program,
employer vehicle fleet, ridematching assistance for carpools/vanpools, vanpool coordination,
preferential location of carpool/vanpool parking, transit circulator, joint use parking, district
parking, telecommuting, on-site bicycle and pedestrian facilities and employer subsidized
transit passes. An Irrevocable Letter of Credit shall be opened by the developer in favor of
the City as part of a Development Agreement.
