INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS ABRA AUTO BODY& GLASS Location: 13045, 13075 & 13105 Pioneer Trail Request for: Guide Plan Change from Community Commercial to Industrial on 2.98 acres Zoning District Change from C-COM to I-2 on 2.98 acres Site Plan Review on 2.98 acres Preliminary Plat of three lots into one lot on 2.98 acres PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES July 23, 2018 Page 2 Klima presented the preliminary staff report for the informational meeting, held due to a change in publication timelines related to the July 4th holiday, which prevented a public hearing to be publicized with sufficient notice per City Code. Commission members were allowed to ask questions only, and then would be able to weigh in and hear public testimony at the August 13 meeting. Also, any residents choosing to speak at the July 23 meeting would have their comments carried forward to the August 13 public hearing. The property is currently zoned Community Commercial (C-COM), and the application requested the property be reguided to Industrial, as was the case in 2004 before the subsequent reguiding and rezoning for two approved developments that were never constructed. The draft 2040 land use plan would guide this property for Flex Service which supports the proposed use for the site. The application proposed the development of an approximately 18,000 square foot Abra Auto Body building exceeding the building material requirements per façade for 75% Class I and 25% Class II materials, and including a combination of materials (glass, brick, and architectural precast). The architecture of the building would include varied roof lines and building wall deviations. The required landscaping proposed a combination of coniferous, deciduous and ornamental trees dispersed throughout the site, with additional shrubbery,perennials, and grasses in excess of the City Code requirements. Staff recommended a revision to the landscaping plan to include landscaping materials in all parking islands, as well as adding grasses, shrubs and/or perennials along the fencing to soften the visual impact from the right of way and adjacent properties. Staff would continue to work with the applicant to determine the appropriate timeline for construction of the pedestrian connection on the Abra property to Pioneer Trail. Since the site also provides an access connection to the property to the south currently owned by Metropolitan Airports Commission(MAC) that is zoned Airport-Commercial, staff recommends a revision including a radius for the proposed connection to the MAC property. The property owner would be required to provide a cross access easement for this connection, and to show on the plans a pedestrian connection: a 10-foot easement due to the future redevelopment of Pioneer Trail. No waivers or PUD and the plan was compliant with City requirements. The plan also includes sustainability features and improved efficiency building designs. No formal action was requested of the commission at this time. Paul Tucci of Oppidan Incorporated presented a PowerPoint and detailed the application. He directed the commission members' attention to the existing facility and explained the fence for the prototype, required to secure the cars to repair, was typically 8 foot high, but would be lowered to be in compliance. He explained the new prototype rollout using a combination of materials for the edifice, and the drop-off/pick-up parking concept. The lighting would be less intense than usual retail and commercial sites, and the majority of the work, with small exceptions, would be contained within the building. Tucci estimated construction to take between five-and-a-half to six months. There would be 12-20 benefited employees and the average rate of charge was $2,200.00 per car. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES July 23, 2018 Page 3 DeSanctis asked what provisions there were for mitigating and storing hazardous wastes. Tucci explained there were oil-water separators to collect hazardous materials, and mechanical work takes priority over bodywork. He displayed the paint booth and the mix/storage rooms and explained trained staff would handle all paints and solvents. No paint is transported through the shop. A service would handle empty paint cans. Farr asked for exterior materials and elevations. Tucci displayed the elevations and explained the locations of the brick-block, glass, and EFIS materials and the metal doors. Farr asked if the north rooftop and Pioneer Trail view of the HVAC would be screened. Tucci replied the HVAC would typically be placed in the middle of the roof to prevent it being visible, but perimeter rooftop screening would also be considered. Farr suggested providing a cross-section to illustrate this. Farr asked if cars would drive through the site, and Tucci displayed the floor plan and explained the movement would only be in and out through the east elevation. He showed the location of the fence. Farr asked the reason for the asphalt along the north wall, and Tucci replied it was for the circulation of the wreckers and for Fire Department access. All would be contained within the fence. Pieper asked if there had been any community engagement on the part of the applicant. Tucci replied there had not been. Klima replied she had received and answered one phone call from a concerned resident in response to the notification of this meeting, and there would be another public hearing notice sent out for the August 13 meeting (which would meet the notice specifications). Mette asked for a closer look at the materials, and asked Klima for clarification on the plans for the site to the south. Klima replied the property south of this owned by Metropolitan Airport Commission(MAC)was zoned as airport commercial and had no specific site plan, but when development opportunities arose it would move forward through the formal City site plan and/or PUD approval process. Mette asked how many stories such a zoning would allow; Klima estimated the height restriction at around 30 feet, and offered to include the exact restriction in the next staff report. Higgins asked what kind of irrigation system was planned and if similar ones had been included in other Abra locations. Tucci replied Abra had never designed an irrigation system without rain sensors, which most communities now required, in it. Farr asked what was planned for snow removal and suggested the fence be extended to allow snow to be plowed onsite instead of hauled offsite. Tucci replied the applicant was reviewing that and may pile snow in the stalls near the trash enclosure, or haul it outside the fence to deposit on the landscaped areas, minimizing the use of salt. Farr recommended taking the shrubbery out of the fenced-in area and place them outside along the perimeter to benefit the public. He observed a Conditional Use Permit might have been easier than the rezoning and re-guiding process to allow a different use in a commercial district and might have been more proactive; however, there was no provision for a Conditional Use Permit. Klima replied within the last nine months or year, the City brought forward a text amendment to automotive repair, separating minor and PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES July 23, 2018 Page 4 major repair, with body work qualifying as major work only allowed in industrial districts. The re-guiding and rezoning was necessary in order for this plan to be consistent with new language recently adopted and came under the new Flex Service land use designation in the draft Comprehensive Plan, which aimed to define and find areas that do not come under the traditional industrial/commercial divide. Farr asked if the applicant was ensuring a flow of traffic considering the proximity of the MAC property to the south. Klima replied the applicant did provide trip generation report and traffic flow would be part of the site development and the plan review should the MAC site be developed in the future. Pieper summarized the needs of the commission members: a sectional view of the unscreened roof/parapet or a cross-sectional view with the screening; the adjacent land height requirements; the irrigation plan; the fence line design; the landscaping design along the outside perimeter of the fence. Mette also requested the elevations, and Klima replied she would get those. The concept behind requiring landscaped islands within the fencing was to facilitate a pleasant view surrounding the new use should Abra leave and the perimeter fence come down. Klima would review the Code on this. DeSanctis noted there would be a 24-hour illumination LED system and asked if there were residential properties within sight of this development. He asked if dense evergreens could be used to block ambient light. Klima replied a photometric plan was provided as a part of the application meeting the City's requirements (half one foot-candle light leakage, and the plan actually had zero foot-candle leakage) and staff would work with the applicant to provide exterior landscaping to break up the views of long stretches of fence. VI. PUBLIC MEETINGS VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS VIII. PLANNERS' REPORT A. ASPIRE 2040 UPDATE SPECIAL STUDY AREAS Klima presented a PowerPoint and explained in this chapter the City decided to look at areas in Eden Prairie 1) going through a transformation on their own, or 2) areas, which had not changed or gained much attention for some time. The first location was the Martin Drive Study Area,bounded on the south by Highway 5, on the east by Mitchell Road, and the regional bike trail on the northwest. The Venture Lane property within this area is excess MnDOT right of way, which MnDOT may wish to sell. The City of Eden Prairie has right of first refusal on that property. There would be an RFP (Request for Proposals) going out in the PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES July 23, 2018 Page 5 next couple of months. Key considerations were market realities and demand for use, appropriate use (which was not necessarily the same for the same zoned properties, leading to the Flex Service model), land use compatibility and development flexibility, limited development and redevelopment opportunities, and not detracting from or competing with surrounding retail and service districts. Recommended improvements were both high-level (such as zoning flexibility) and site-specific, and included site-specific pedestrian connections,providing some type of gathering spot such as a seating area for employees and a trail, screening of the power substations, transit opportunities, and ensuring the Venture Lane intersection is safe. Mette expressed support for the Flex Service concept and listed the Abra application as a prime example of why it was needed. Klima stated the Mitchell Road frontage area if redeveloped could provide a prime opportunity for additional residential and first-floor retail that would augment, not compete with, the area commercial services. She displayed massing and scale modeling graphics. Higgins noted there was a lot of multi-family housing in this area, underscoring the need to commercial services as described by the Flex Service approach. Farr asked if there were adjacent influences, such as in the northwest single- family residential area, about noise, etc. Klima replied there was outreach done to all property owners within all the special area studies and some along the trail. There was some discussion through focus groups to prevent negative impacts, but the City did not receive complaints about the uses in this area; the idea was to promote and enhance what was there, not completely change the area. Farr asked about any concerns with rezoning from the south side of Highway 5. Klima replied there would be no change in zoning at this time and the City was engaging in a high-level overview of the site in creating a new land use category. Concerns could be aired at a later discussion if such a zoning change were to be made. DeSanctis asked if this was an opportunity to put in a solar farm. Klima replied the RFP going out at the end of August asked for a workforce housing and innovation center. While sustainability was a feature for the site, the overall idea was to integrate workforce housing and perhaps some co-location opportunities and commercial/retail synergistic uses such as a taproom or a coffee shop. Mette stated she lived in the neighborhood to the northwest of this area and the trail was twenty feet higher than the surrounding land, providing a barrier between her neighborhood and the area. Development would likely not affect that residential area. Farr noted the area was visible on Highway 212 entering Eden Prairie from the west and could have a gateway feeling. Klima replied the area was roughly around five acres,but only four acres would become available. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES July 23, 2018 Page 6 The second area of interest was the Crosstown Industrial Area. It was not going through the same transformation but was developed some time ago and is relatively secluded. It required no immediate attention, but the City wished to be proactive in terms of potential development. This study area was bounded by Highway 62 along Carlson and Industrial Drives. It too was divided into three functional areas. Key considerations were again market realities, the necessity and desirability for industrial uses, limiting incompatibility issues via buffering, limited incremental transition opportunities, and limited redevelopment opportunities. Recommendations for improvement included, again, zoning flexibility, providing connectivity for pedestrians, improving the trail, which runs through the area, screening the area along Highway 62, and opportunities for development along Carlson Drive and the MPCA plant site. Farr asked if the trail could be shifted to create larger parcels of land. Bourne replied the trail ran along a railroad line and conversations with the Three Rivers District had explored paving it, but shifting and a parcel combination it would be a future conversation. The trail crossed Eden Prairie Road. ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS David Lindahl, Economic Development Manager, displayed a PowerPoint and gave an overview of the chapter. Economic competitiveness involved maintaining quality businesses that delivered services in an environment where people want to work, live, and play. The chapter outlined maintaining a diverse economy by retaining and attracting businesses, increase Eden Prairie's competitive advantage in the region, create a better sense of community, and identify opportunity markets. A key focus for development was ensuring there was adequate infrastructure. The chapter, like most in the Plan, included sustainability features. Pieper asked if this entailed creating economic development zones. Lindahl replied it probably did not; aside from small grants, there was no direct funding for residents to fund startups and the emphasis was on creating a place to support small business and entrepreneurs. DeSantis remarked Wayzata was undergoing a development boom and was subsequently enhancing pedestrian crossings and lowering traffic speeds, and he suggested this be done in Eden Prairie. Lindahl replied bridges and tunnels were options for Prairie Center Road, though many people did not prefer them. There had been improvements to pedestrian crossings such as giving longer pedestrian crossing times, but he agreed there needed to be more options to improve the pedestrian experience in Eden Prairie. Mette noted the title implied a measurement, and asked for metrics. Lindahl replied there would be no quantity analysis with other cities, but decent mobility and accessibility was a key component and a simple formula along with a low PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES July 23, 2018 Page 7 crime rate, safety and security, vacancy rates,parks and schools, a variety of housing options, and retention of businesses. Lindahl was not sure if a set of criteria would be formulated in comparison to other cities. Mette in reply gave examples such as housing-to-office ratios, etc. Klima replied this chapter was one of the new requirements by the Metropolitan Council and may not be defined as the competitiveness of individual cities but an overall regional competitiveness involving cities learning to address regional competitiveness and collaborating with one another. IX. MEMBERS' REPORTS X. CONTINUING BUSINESS XI. NEW BUSINESS XII. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Higgins to adjourn the Planning Commission meeting. MOTION CARRIED 5-0. Chair Pieper adjourned the meeting at 8:36 p.m. STAFF REPORT TO: Planning Commission FROM: Julie Klima, City Planner DATE: August 9, 2018 PROJECT: Abra Auto Body LOCATION: 13045, 13075, 13105 Pioneer Trail APPLICANT: Oppidan, Inc. OWNERS: Kal Stay, LLC 120 DAY REVIEW: Expires October 26, 2018 REQUEST: 1. Guide Plan Change from Community Commercial to Industrial on 2.98 acres 2. Zoning District Change from C-COM to I2 on 2.98 acres 3. Site Plan Review on 2.98 acres 4. Preliminary Plat of 3 lots into one lot on 2.98 acres INFORMATIONAL MEETING REVIEW The Planning Commission held an informational meeting on this item at the July 23, 2018 meeting due to notification requirements for a public hearing. During that discussion, staff and the applicant presented the request and answered questions of the Commission members. No public testimony was given during this meeting. Notices of public hearing have been published and mailed to property owners compliant with City Code and State Statute requirements for the August 13 meeting. Questions raised during this discussion included: 1) a review of the building elevations; 2) discussion of the cross-section view of rooftop mechanical equipment if not located behind a screen; 3) revisions to the landscaping plan to enhance landscaping on the outside of the fence line; 4) allowable building heights on the adjacent property zoned Airport-Commercial; and 5) rain sensors being included with any irrigation system on site. In response to these questions: 1) the proposed building elevations for the project have been provided to the Planning Commission members for their review; 2) the applicant has communicated that the rooftop mechanical equipment will be not be visible from the sidewalk; additionally, standard language in the City's Development Agreement requires installation of screening, if after construction, the City determines that mechanical equipment is visible; 3) the applicant is continuing to revise the landscaping plan consistent with the staff recommendation in this report and will be provided prior to City Council review; 4)the maximum building height Staff Report—Abra Auto Body August 9, 2018 Page 2 allowed in the Airport-Commercial zoning district is 30 feet; and 5)the applicant confirmed at the July 23 meeting that any irrigation system would include rain sensors. BACKGROUND The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates the property for Community Commercial land use. The property is zoned Community Commercial (C-COM). The applicant is requesting that the property be reguided to Industrial. Prior to 2004, the subject properties were guided and zoned for industrial use. In 2004, a request to reguide and rezone the properties for commercial uses was approved. Since that time, two commercial development proposals have been approved by the City but neither have been constructed. This application includes a request to revert the guiding and zoning back to Industrial. The draft 2040 land use plan guides this property for Flex Service which supports the proposed use for the site. Surrounding land uses are guided Public,Neighborhood Commercial, Medium Density Residential, Low Density Residential and Industrial. Surrounding properties are zoned Highway Commercial, RM-6.5, R1-13.5, 12, Public and Rural. SITE PLAN The site plan shows the construction and site development of an approximate 18,000 square foot Abra Auto Body building. The overall structure exceeds the building material requirements per facade for 75% Class I and 25% Class II materials. A combination of materials are proposed that include glass, brick, and architectural precast. The architecture of the building includes varied roof lines and building wall deviations. The required landscaping proposed on site is a combination of coniferous, deciduous and ornamental trees dispersed throughout the site. The additional landscaping provided in excess of the City Code requirements includes shrubbery, perennials, and grasses. These landscaping materials will provide a variety of texture and color to the site throughout the year. The proposed tree replacement plan is compliant with City Code. Staff recommends that the landscaping plan be revised prior to City Council review to include landscaping materials in all parking islands (one island does not currently include landscaping materials) and that grasses, shrubs and/or perennials be added along the fencing to soften the visual impact from the right of way and adjacent properties. MAC has commented that consideration should be given to the installation of low growth, non-fruit bearing tree species that do not exceed the height of the permanent structure when fully grown. The plan includes a pedestrian connection to Pioneer Trail to allow connection to the broader community trail system. Currently, there is not a sidewalk or trail to connect to on either side of Pioneer Trail. Because broader pedestrian connections are yet to be determined in this area with roadway reconstruction and future development projects, staff will be recommending that a 10 foot sidewalk easement is provided along Pioneer Trail on the Abra property in order to preserve pedestrian connection opportunities. Staff will continue to work with the applicant to determine the appropriate timeline for construction of the pedestrian connection on the Abra property to Staff Report—Abra Auto Body August 9, 2018 Page 3 Pioneer Trail. The site also provides an access connection to the property to the south currently owned by Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) that is zoned Airport-Commercial. Staff is recommending that prior to City Council review that the plan be revised to include a radius for the proposed connection to the MAC property. The property owner will be required to provide a cross access easement for this connection. The plan complies with the off street parking requirements for the proposed use. SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES The proposed development includes several sustainability features listed below: 1. LED parking lot lighting; 2. Bike rack installation; 3. Native plants to reduce irrigation required for the site; 4. Irrigation system that includes rain sensors; 5. LED lighting in offices and shop area; and 6. Building design elements that promote efficiencies such as air curtains and exterior glazing. SIGNS All sign permits will require review and approval through the sign permit process. SITE LIGHTING The photometric plan that is compliant with City Code including the 0.5 footcandle requirement. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Recommend approval of the following request: 1. Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 4.61 acres 2. Zoning District Amendment within the Office Zoning District on 4.61 acres 3.

OWNER: CSM Equities III, LLC LOCATION: 6810 Shady Oak Road REQUEST: Variance to allow a parking setback of 21' feet along Shady Oak Road BACKGROUND The subject property is located at _ 6810 Shady Oak Road and it is .. A currently zoned Industrial (I-2). - r There is an approximately 68,000 .iir— square foot building on the property �. ► - f' that is currently vacant and the - ;�s .... i" owner is trying to lease it. The syr existing parking is located on the _ '0 sides and rear of the building. The .. main entrances to the building are in so, ' front facingShadyOak Road. N • • _ 4 It- ems' r The owner has identified the lack of .- f, --N. , ••- parking near the main entrances as __ . .- , an issue making it difficult to lease i ri the building. Therefore, the owner - would like to provide parking in 7front of the building. However, the Subject k - parking and building setback is 50 Property T feet and the front of the building sits - ,e, 0 -right at the setback line. r ir.Z NO On June 11, 2018, the Planning 1 t.iii%' Commission denied a variance - - request by the applicant to allow a 10' parking setback. Since that time, the applicant has prepared a revised plan showing parallel parking in front of the building versus the angled parking proposed on the previous plan. Although the parallel parking layout results in a reduction in the number of parking stalls from 24 to 14, it does provide an increased setback of between 21' and 26' versus 10' as previously proposed. Staff Report—Variance #2018-03 August 8, 2018 Page 2 The City has identified a need for 10' Existing Condition ) '� No Previous Plan-Denied of additional right-of-way at some • 4 future date to reconstruct Old Shady " - —tt, Oak Road. The 21' setback allows ^ ' � �^�° .E room for landscape screening along 4 _, \. the parking lot and keeping the 10' `""' - .- 1 .4 future right-of-way unencumbered. . > = ' ..�) •e.•.y, . ', q' ‘l EVALUATING VARIANCES r `_ % ' «`, AGAINST STATUTORY ' a a. — , —. CRITERIA - Local governments must consider each criterion on its own merit and make findings and conclusions based on the following considerations: CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN The requested variance is consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan. The Plan recommends 4pc s$ sy the improvement of Shady Oak Road to a 3-lane o-R�OH roadway with an 8' trail. As proposed, the 21' - - ' A.- b N setback would keep the 10' of future right-of-way - - free of landscaping and other encumbrances so the '% .,; _ -.%=h / xymr City can effectively design and construct future �, � -'' roadway improvements. The proposed landscaping s . - ; �� ' is located at the future right-of-way line. This may - i+ ;{ ..t - pose problems for constructing the future roadway =' °,,4- N improvements; therefore, staff is recommending the , �'- N\ • plantings be pulled back toward the parking lot. g"°" �" Y • aas • r .... -. \, :474,,,a- Nt-4.8 _. ..,_ , IN HARMONY WITH THE PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THE ORDINANCE The requested variance is in harmony with the - t �. r purpose and intent of the ordinance. The ordinance / Bui`°` o��b ,ly ` rrs // requires parking lot screening. The plan provides /� mm between 11' and 16' for landscape screening. All of Proposed Parallel '� & ; the proposed improvements are located outside of : Parking Layout Y. '` the 10' drainage and utility easement along the front - property line. UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES Unique circumstance, meaning the problem is due to circumstances unique to the property not caused by the current land owner. The property is a pie shape lot, which presents difficulties for expanding parking. In addition, the lot is not a corner lot. On a corner lot, City Code allows one of the setbacks along one of the street frontages to be reduced by to 25'. Other properties in the area have parking lots as close as 25' to the street. This proposal is consistent with other properties. Staff Report—Variance #2018-03 August 8, 2018 Page 3 REASONABLE USE OF THE PROPERTY Another review criteria is that the property cannot be put to a reasonable use without the variance. This means that a landowner would like to use the property in a particular way but cannot do so under the rules of the ordinance. It does not mean that the land cannot be put to any reasonable use without the variance. Parking is a reasonable use on the property and in front of the building. ALTERATION OF THE ESSENTIAL CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD Granting the variance will not alter the character of the neighborhood. The proposed 21' to 26' setback is in character with some of the surrounding properties. Some of the properties have parking lots in front of the building with a 25' setback. The proposed setbacks maintains the green corridor along Shady Oak Road. STAFF RECOMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the request based on staff report dated August 8, 2018 and the plans stamp dated 08-03-18 and the following conditions: A. Revise the Landscaping Plan by moving the plantings between the parking lot and the property line to the edge of the parking lot. The plantings are currently right on the future right-of-way line, which could cause problems with reconstructing the street in the future. B. Revise the Total Tree Provided in the Landscape Requirements to read as follows: 5 trees @ 3" caliper, 4 trees @ 6' height, and 4 @ 2" caliper. C. Revise the Landscape Schedule so the key for Prairie Dropseed is PDS. D. Review of the stormwater management system is ongoing, comments from the Engineering Memorandum dated July 18, 2018 need to be addressed prior to release of a Land Alteration Permit. REQUESTED COMMISSION ACTION The Commission may wish to choose from one of the following actions: 1. Approve Final Order#2018-03. 2. Approve Final Order#2018-03 with modifications. 3. Continue Variance Request#2018-03 for additional information. 4. Deny Final Order#2018-03. VARIANCE#2018-03 CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE PLANNING COMMISSION FINAL ORDER 2018-03 APPLICANT: Alliant Engineering, Inc. OWNER: CSM Equities III, LLC ADDRESS: 6810 Shady Oak Road, Eden Prairie, MN OTHER DESCRIPTION: VARIANCE REQUEST: To allow a parking setback of 21 feet along Shady Oak Road The Board of Adjustments and Appeals for the City of Eden Prairie at a regular meeting thereof duly considered the above petition and after hearing and examining all of the evidence presented and the file therein does hereby find and order as follows: 1. All procedural requirements necessary for the review of said variance have been met. (Yes X No N/A). 2. Variance 2018-03 is: granted modified denied 3. Findings and conditions are attached as Exhibit A. 4. This order shall be effective fifteen days after the decision of the Board of Adjustment and Appeals or on August 13, 2018,however,this variance shall expire one year after the date of the approval unless the applicant has commenced the authorized improvements or use or has received an extension of the time period as provided below. The applicant may submit a request for a one-time extension of up to one year from the original expiration date. Said extension shall be requested in writing to the City Planner at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the approval. The requested extension shall be reviewed by the City Planner. If the facts and circumstances under which the original variance was granted have not materially changed,the City Planner may approve the extension. If there has been a material change in circumstance since the granting of the variance,the City Planner shall submit the request for review and consideration by the Board. 5. All Board of Adjustments and Appeals actions are subject to City Council Review. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND APPEALS N/A=Not Applicable BY: Ed Farr—Vice-Chair Date: 08-13-18 EXHIBIT A—FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS FINDINGS A. The granting of the variance is not consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan. • The State law requires that variances be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The Plan recommends the improvement of Shady Oak Road to a 3-lane roadway with an 8 foot trail. As proposed, the 21 foot setback provides the City's with the ability to effectively design and construct future road improvements. B. The granting of the variance is in harmony with intent and general purposes of the ordinance and the terms of the variance are not consistent with the comprehensive plan. • The requested variance is in harmony with the goals and intent of parking lot screening. A 21-26 foot setback does provide adequate space for landscaping while staying outside of the 10 foot utility easement along the front property line. • The requested variance does support the implementation of the transportation recommendations in the Comprehensive Plan. The Plan provides room for the street reconstruction and additional right-of-way in the future. C. The plight of the landowner is not due to circumstances unique to the property. The property is a pie shape lot,which presents difficulties for expanding parking. In addition,the lot is not a corner lot. On a corner lot, City Code allows one of the setbacks along one of the street frontages to be reduced by to 25'. Other properties in the area have parking lots as close as 25' to the street. This proposal is consistent with other properties. D. Parking in front of the building is a reasonable use on the property. The 21 foot setback is reasonable for the following reasons: • It provides for adequate screening. • It provides room for the future street reconstruction. • It does not impact the 10 foot utility easement. E. The variance, if granted, will alter the essential character of the locality. • The proposed 21 foot setback is in character with surrounding properties. Some of the surrounding properties have parking in front of the building with a 25' setback. The proposed setback will maintain the green corridor along Shady Oak Road. CONDITION: Approval is contingent upon the following changes being made to the Plans dated 08-03-18: A. Revise the Landscaping Plan by moving the plantings between the parking lot and the property line to the edge of the parking lot. The plantings are currently right on the future right-of-way line, which could cause problems with reconstructing the street in the future. B. Revise the Total Tree Provided in the Landscape Requirements to read as follows: 5 trees @ 3" caliper, 4 trees @ 6' height, and 4 @ 2" caliper. C. Revise the Landscape Schedule so the key for Prairie Dropseed is PDS. D. Review of the stormwater management system is ongoing, comments from the Engineering Memorandum dated July 18, 2018 need to be addressed prior to release of a Land Alteration Permit.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING Existing Zoning • Zone to Rural from _ The Comprehensive Plan designates -- Rezone from Rural to right-of-way this property as Neighborhood Rural Highway Commercial Commercial. In 2014,areas adjacent to the property and the right of way were Rezone from Highway '"Nril reguided in anticipation of the road Commercial to Rural realignment and the proposed improvements. Due to the final layout Highway of the improvements, the proposed lot • Commercial 441 configuration has changed slightly. As a result, there is a request for some Propo ed ' ' , ..+_ minor modifications to the guiding. Property Line I YM --.. -- _ - • Ci U1;1 Lj; ,,1 Since the reguiding associated with this • • project involves minor adjustments to Zone to Highway Commercial the 2014 approval and the City is in the from right-of-way process of updating the Comprehensive Plan,the Metropolitan Council has advised City staff that the reguiding does not need formal approval by the MetCouncil. 2 Staff Report—Lion's Tap Site Improvements August 8, 2018 Page 3 The Planned Unit Development Concept Plan was approved in 2014.The proposed project is consistent with that concept. The property is zoned Highway Commercial.The rezoning associated with this project will result in all of the area within the proposed property line of proposed Lot 1, Block 1 being zoned Highway Commercial. SITE PLAN The new vestibule is proposed to be added to the Flying Cloud entrance to the building. The parking will continue to be located to the north,northwest,and west of the building,but reconfigured. With the realignment of Spring Road,the existing building is much further from the intersection. Access to the site will be off of Spring Road only. There are significant slopes west and northwest of the building. The applicant is proposing numerous retaining walls including a living retaining wall. The Hennepin County highway improvements will include a sidewalk along the north side of Flying Cloud Drive and Lion's Tap site improvements provide a connection to the public sidewalk. The restaurant requires 100 +a parking stalls to comply with City Code requirements. The R - - = _-- __ site currently includes 70 parking stalls and the expansion of the parking will v = �r ' provide 112 parking stalls, ti" which makes the site 4 conforming with regard to " 1 the number of parking stalls. w " m The site improvements include landscaped islands in / r{ Proposed Vestibule r ' the parking lot. The islands n Addition N •�� / ,. meet the size and percentage 4 Vso., 7, requirements. Each of the islands will include plantings. PRELIMINARY PLAT The applicant is proposing a preliminary plat,which includes both the Lion's Tap property and the lot to the northwest. The lot to the northwest is currently a platted lot and it is zoned Rural. The applicant is proposing to create this area an outlot with this preliminary plat. Development is not allowed on the outlot without future approval by the City. In addition to potentially considering a future rezoning,this future proposal gives the City some level of review before development can occur on the property. 3 Staff Report—Lion's Tap Site Improvements August 8, 2018 Page 4 Staff asked the applicant to investigate the presence of burial mounds on the proposed outlot. Since there may be future development of the outlot, this investigation would be necessary as a part of any development proposed on the outlot. PARKING LOT CONFIGURATION The site appears to have an excess of pavement due in part by the parking stall size and the configuration of the parking lot. Staff recommended that the applicant reduce the amount of pavement proposed on the site. This could be accomplished through multiple options such as narrowing the parking stall width from 10'to 9' or reconfiguring parts of the parking lot.The applicant has chosen to move forward with the plan as proposed. The City Code requires parking lot screening from the public street. The Planting Plan does not include screening of the parking lots along either Spring Road or Flying Cloud Drive.The layout of the parking does not leave much room to use plantings as a screen, but a decorative fence can be used to provide screening. Staff recommends that prior to the public hearing at Council,the applicant provide staff with a plan that includes City Code compliant screening of the parking areas. SIGNS The applicant is proposing to relocate the entry sign and potentially install a new monument sign. All the changes to the signs on the property must be in conformance with the City Code and requires a separate permit. BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS The building is currently nonconforming with regard to building materials. The west, north and northwest facades are primarily stucco,which does not meet the current standards. The south and east facades are brick and meet the standards. Staff has not seen detail drawings of the new vestibule and therefore,cannot confirm that it complies with the building material standards. Staff recommends that prior to the public hearing at Council,the applicant provide staff with building elevations that include City Code compliant building material. The applicant has not submitted details of the trash enclosure. Staff recommends that prior to the public hearing at Council,the applicant provide staff with detail drawings that includes a City Code compliant trash enclosure. SUSTAINABLE FEATURES The project includes a connection to the sidewalk along the north site of Flying Cloud Drive and the applicant is providing a bike rack. The retaining walls along the west and a portion of the northwest property line are living walls. Plant material is placed into the wall giving it a different character and appearance than a block wall. The proposed parking lot lighting is LED. The overall landscaping 4 Staff Report—Lion's Tap Site Improvements August 8, 2018 Page 5 proposed on the site includes native plants. TREE REPLACEMENT AND LANSCAPING The tree replacement requirement for the property is 126 caliper inches. The proposed trees used to meet this requirement are intended to compensate for the loss of significant trees due to grading and construction on the site. The Planting Plan includes 127 caliper inches of trees for tree replacement. All of the proposed trees on the Planting Plan are being counted toward tree replacement. There is also a landscaping requirement for the building of 16 caliper inches. The applicant has 84 shrubs and 72 perennials counted toward this requirement, but City Code only allows 25% of the required caliper inches to be shrubs and/or perennial beds. The applicant must add some trees to the Planting Plan to fulfill the caliper inch requirements beyond the 25%that can be shrubs and/or perennial beds. LIGHTING The proposed site lighting plan meets City Code requirements and will be confirmed at the time of building permit issuance. DRAINAGE The applicant is proposing to construct an underground infiltration system to meet the post construction stormwater requirements of the City of Eden Prairie and the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District. The underground system will be designed to provide water quality treatment, rate control and volume reduction for the newly created building and parking lot impervious surfaces. UTILITIES The property currently has a well and septic systems. However, sanitary sewer and water are being installed with the road improvement project. This project will include connecting to the municipal services. The septic system will be abandon and the well will be used for irrigation. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS The purpose of a Planned Unit Development(PUD)as stated in the City Code is to provide for a more creative and efficient approach to the use of land within the City; to allow variety in the types of environment available to people and distribution of overall density of population and intensity of land use where desirable and feasible; and provide for greater creativity and flexibility in environmental design. The applicant is requesting the following waivers: 1. Front Setback to the building of 10.48'along Flying Cloud Drive. City Code requires 35'. The front setback requirement to the building is 35'. The existing building is currently located within that setback. The front setback of the building is currently as close as approximately 5 Staff Report—Lion's Tap Site Improvements August 8, 2018 Page 6 2.5'to the Spring Road right-of-way. With the realignment of Spring Road, the building is proposed at approximately 130' from the Spring Road property line. The front setback of the building from the Flying Cloud Drive right-of-way is currently 14'. With the addition of the vestibule, the building is proposed at approximately 10.48' from the Flying Cloud Drive property line. The proposal brings the front setback to the building along Spring Road into conformance. Although the front setback along Flying Cloud Drive has been reduced,the setback is the result of additional right-of-way needs. 2. Front Setback to the parking lot of 6.7' along Spring Road. City Code requires 35'. Front Setback to the parking lot of 4.83'along Flying Cloud Drive.City Code requires 35'. The front setback requirement to a parking lot is 35'. The current parking area along Flying Cloud Drive has a zero foot setback because it extends into the right-of-way. The proposed setback is 4.83'. The current parking area along Spring Road has a 15' setback. With the reconfiguration of the parking for the project, the proposed parking lot will be 6.7'. Currently the site does not meet parking requirements,which necessitates off-site parking.The proposed site improvements will bring the number of parking stalls into conformance and provide all of the required parking on site.

FLYING CLOUD • Allik 0 87.5 175 . r. .:350 Feet STAFF REPORT TO: Planning Commission FROM: Angie Perera, Planner 1 DATE: August 8, 2018 SUBJECT: Code Amendment—Transit Oriented Development(TOD)/Town Center(TC) BACKGROUND: The City Code regulations for the Town Center(TC) district were adopted in 2007 and the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) district regulations were adopted in 2016. Both zoning districts are very similar. Both incorporate public amenities such as parks & plazas, art, landscaped streets, benches, sidewalks,trails, &connectivity.Both zoning districts are focused on enhancing people's experience with the streetscape and their surroundings. Although both zoning districts are very similar, they are intended to have their own identity with unique features. For instance, TOD is intended to be located closer to transit stations with uses that are similar but perhaps more intense than the uses permitted in the TC district. While, the TC district is intended to be more dense and have more of an urban feel with buildings located in closer proximity to each other and to the street. Due to the gap in timeframe from when these two codes were originally adopted,staff has reviewed and compared both ordinances and is recommending amendments to both zoning districts. The general purpose of the code amendment is to provide clarification and consistency where appropriate between the two zoning districts. The proposed amendments in the TOD zoning district are primarily housekeeping items and provide more clarity with the current regulations.Amendments proposed in the TOD zoning district include minor modifications to definitions included within the code. In the TC zoning district,more substantive amendments are being proposed including the addition of regulations for supplemental analysis or studies that may be required to address traffic impacts, traffic demand management,and parking as deemed necessary. Other proposed amendments to the TC zoning district include the addition of regulations for pedestrian and off-street bicycle facilities standards, and revisions to the landscaping regulations to provide clarity and consistency with the TOD district where appropriate. DISCUSSION: A summary of the proposed code amendments to the TOD and the TC zoning districts are include below. Staff Report—Code Amendment—Transit Oriented Development(TOD)/Town Center(TC) 8/8/18 Page 2 TOD & TC zoning districts: 1) Include minor edits and modifications to grammar,format,and renumbering,and additional language within various sections to clean-up housekeeping items and to provide clarification as appropriate in both zoning districts. 2) Change"Usable Open Space"to "Usable Outdoor Open Space"to provide clarification. TOD zoning district: 3) Revise the definitions for "Building Break", "Neighborhood Commercial, & "Visitor Parking",and include a definition for"Ground Floor Height"to provide consistency with the TC district and to provide clarity since these terms are used within the code. 4) Include "clinics" as a permitted use in the TOD-R, TOD-MU, & TOD-E sub-districts. 5) Amend the Development Standards in the TOD-E district—changing the minimum ground floor height from"10 ft."to "12 ft." TC zoning district: 6) Revise the definition of"Joint Use Parking"and add definitions for"Ground Floor Height", "Public Open Space", and"Visitor Parking"in the TC district to provide consistency with the TOD district and to provide clarity since these terms are used within the code. 7) Include "Public Infrastructure" as a permitted use in the TC-R sub-district. 8) Include a front-yard setback reduction option for consideration if outdoor dining or usable open space is proposed as part of a Planned Unit Development, consistent with the TOD district. 9) Proposed amendments to parking regulations include the following: a) Revise the maximum number of permitted parking spaces for Restaurants from"1/2" to "1/2.5" seats in the TC-C sub-district. b) Revise the maximum number of parking spaces permitted for Multiple-Family Residential uses from"1.25"to "1"in the TC-R sub-district. c) Revise the minimum number of parking spaces required for Retail Stores&Services from "4/1,000" to "3/1,000" and the maximum permitted from "6/1,000" to "5/1,000" in the TC-C sub-district. d) Add"NA"to the maximum number of parking spaces permitted for Hotel use in the TC-C sub-district. e) Add Visitor parking regulations consistent with the TOD district. 10)Include the following additional regulations to provide consistency with the TOD district: a) Include Supplemental Analysis or Studies that maybe required as deemed necessary to include traffic impact, traffic demand management, and parking. b) Include regulations for Pedestrian and Off-Street Bicycle Facility Standards,since the TC district does not currently include regulations for these items and revised regulations to provide claritfication for Landscaping. 2 Staff Report—Code Amendment—Transit Oriented Development(TOD)/Town Center(TC) 8/8/18 Page 3 OUTREACH: Staff conducted outreach to the representatives of the Liberty Property Trust and the Evine Live properties since both representatives spoke during the public hearing process for the TOD ordinance in 2016. Staff recently provided both representatives draft copies of the proposed code amendments. In response, staff has received a comment letter dated 8/6/18 from Richard Weiblen, representing Liberty Property Trust. The letter is included for reference as an attachment with this staff report. Most of the comments included in the letter reflect existing city code regulations and are not in direct response to the proposed code amendments. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the following Code amendments attached as a redlined copy with the Planning Commission staff report dated 8/8/18. 3 SECTION 11.26.TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT(TOD) Source: Ordinance No. 15-2016 Effective Date: 8-25-2016 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—the integration of physical activity into daily routines and healthy mobility choices,including walking,biking,riding scooters,and rollerblading,and other forms of pedestrian travel and includes accommodations for persons with disabilities to connect to transit; E. Promote strategies and designs that decrease-the need for parkin ,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 aesthetically attractive building forms that contribute to a positive City image,help to identify the unique characteristics of the location,and enhance the streetscape environment for pedestrians, bicyclists,transit riders,and vehicular drivers;and I. Incorporate sustainability practices relating to building lifespan such as 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. B. The TOD-Residential (TOD-R) district allows for moderate- to high-density residential development with some allowance for limited commercial uses. 11-14 C. The TOD-Employment (TOD-E) district allows for moderate- to high-density office, light industrial and institutional development with some allowance for limited commercial uses. The individual TOD district standards are described in Subdivision 4. Subd.2.Definitions. A. Transit Oriented Development(TOD)is commonly described as a community or development that mixes residential, office, commercial and open space, and allows for convenient or direct access to public transportation. The design of TOD is specifically influenced by transit and focuses on walkability and connections to other sites as well as transit. B. 10-Minute Walkshed is the area surrounding each of an existing or planned commuter bus or light rail transit station that is accessible by walking within a 10-minute timeframe. C. Commercial Ready — a space constructed to meet a minimum ground floor height that accommodates retail/commercial use as established by City Code Chapter 11. The intent of Commercial Ready standard is to provide the flexibility to occupy ground floor space in accordance with market demand while allowing a future transition to retail/commercial uses as the market dictates. D. Pilaster is a shallow rectangular column placed on a building façade,typically as a decorative architectural element to provide articulation of the building façade. E. Ornamental grillwork is a decorative metal grate placed on a building façade to provide screening and architectural interest along a street front facade. F. Stacked Building is a multi-level structure comprised of single-floor or multi-floor units that are stacked vertically and connected with one or more shared entries. This building type is typically designed for residential,hospitality,or office uses. G. Attached Building is an individual structure on a parcel consisting of multiple similar units arranged side by side where each unit shares a common wall with the adjacent unit. All building entries are located at the ground level facing the primary street or facing a courtyard that is open to the street. H. Flex Building is a building designed to be versatile and may be used in combination with office, research and development,sales/showroom,industrial processing,distribution/warehousing,or high tech. I. Liner Building is a building designed to line the outside of a parking structure along a public street frontage with an active ground floor use.A liner building may also include active upper floors. J. Building Break—Include 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. Building breaks create the impression that one building is two or more buildings and improve the building's overall composition and aesthetic.A recess in the building facade that provides facade articulation, creates the impression that one building is two or more buildings,incorporates a unique building element,and improves the building's overall composition and aesthetic.Minimum requirements for a building break are a depth of two(2)feet and a width of four(4)feet. K. Building Stepback—A setback of a building's upper floor(s)in order to reduce the building's bulk,articulate the base of the building, ensure a more comfortable street environment, and provide light and air at street level. 11-15 L. Building Street Frontage—The proportion of a lot's frontage on a public street that is occupied by a building as measured at the required maximum front yard setback.Corner lots must meet maximum front yard setback requirements for both public street frontages. M. Building Transparency—Openings in the street-facing façade of a building which are transparent,including windows and doors that enable increased physical and/or visual interaction between street/sidewalk/plaza activities and a building's interior uses and activities. N. Drive-Thru Facilities—Facilities that accommodate automobiles and from which the occupants of the automobiles may make purchases or transact business, including the stacking spaces needed for waiting vehicles. Examples of drive-thru facilities include,but are not limited to, drive-up windows, menu boards, order boards or boxes,drive-in restaurants and drive-up banks. O. Joint Use Parking-A parking facility shared by two or more uses,tenants,or properties. P. Mixed-Use Building—A multi-story building that contains allowed retail and services on the ground floor and allowed residential and/or office uses on the upper floors. Q. Neighborhood Commercial—Small scale retail stores and personal services primarily serving residential defined in the Comprehensive Plan. Small-scale retail stores and personal services primarily serving nearby residential areas and nearby businesses and their employees and small-scale specialty shops and services that contribute to the are unique ness to the Transit Oriented Development District and draw customers and vibrancy of the Transit Oriented Development District that may attract from a larger trade area.No individual tenant space shall exceed 10,000 sq. ft. in area with the exception of grocery stores, which shall not exceed 25,000 sq.ft.in area.Drive-through facilities are prohibited as a neighborhood commercial use. R. Flex Space: A use providing its occupants the flexibility of utilizing the space. Usually provides a configuration allowing a flexible amount of office or showroom space in combination with manufacturing, laboratory,warehouse distribution,etc. S. Visitor Parking:An off street,surface parking areas for motor vehicles that will be parked for short periods of time,and visiting within the Transit Oriented Development district.Visitor parking does not include long term or all day employee parking or parking of delivery vehicles engaged in loading or unloading goods. T. Public Open Space: An area designated for use by the public such as a park,trail,sidewalk or plaza. U. Ground Floor Height:Measurement taken from floor to floor. Subd.3.Applicability. A Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) district shall apply to property zoned under this Section. Any provisions contained in this Section 11.26, which are inconsistent with or are in conflict with any other provision of the City Code,shall supersede such other provisions. Such properties will generally be within a 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 consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan. Nonconformities are governed under Minnesota Statutes 462.357,Subdivision 1.e. as the same may be amended. Development proposals will be reviewed as part of the Site Plan and Architectural Design Review and Planned Unit Development process set out in City Code Chapter 11. 11-16 Subd.4.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 5 through 9 of this section. A. Development Standards: Transit Oriented Development-Mixed Use(TOD-MU). STATEMENT OF POLICY: The TOD-Mixed Use(TOD-MU)district encourages high-density,mixed-use, and pedestrian-oriented development that supports transit usage. The TOD-MU district is intended to 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 specific permitted uses are set forth below in the chart titled Permitted Uses-TOD-MU District.

Development Standards: Transit Oriented Development-Residential(TOD-R). STATEMENT OF POLICY: 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 shall be residential with a small amount commercial uses(ground floor retail, services, and restaurants) that support the day-to-day needs of residents. The TOD-R district shall generally be applied farther out from the transit station and provides more latitude in density and street frontage requirements while still promoting transit-supportive densities and pedestrian-oriented urban design. The specific permitted uses are set forth below in the chart titled Permitted Uses-TOD-R District. The diagrams set out below are intended to illustrate the application of the above statement of policy.

Due to the more urban pedestrian oriented character of the Town Center area, the location and quantity of off-street parking spaces will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis as part of the development review process. In general,the intent is for developments to provide a reduced number of off-street parking spaces to account for availability of joint and shared-use parking, parking efficiencies resulting from a compact mixed-use development pattern, on-street parking,transit,walking and bicycling. Off-street parking facilities shall be provided as established in Table 4 or as determined through the development review process,recognizing the potential for district, shared and public parking. Table 4 establishes minimum and maximum off-street parking standards for uses within the Town Center district.

Parking.All zoning and development projects in the TC District require documentation of the parking plan for the project site including the number of requireds parking spaces,the number of provided parking spaces and any proposed use of proof of parking. The location and quantity of parking will be reviewed on a case- by-case basis as part of the development review process. Based on the specifics of the parking plan for the project site a formal Parking Study may be required.The City Planner should be contacted prior to application and early in the project to review the parking plan for the project and to determine if a formal Parking Study is required.

Minimum Size Requirements for Plantings and 4. (b) Total Caliper Inches Required. The following standards apply within the TC district in lieu of said Item 4.(a): 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 one (3) caliper inches of trees shall provided for every 500 square feet of on site pervious surface area or portion thereof.Total Caliper Inches Required: Sites up to up to 5 acres of on-site pervious area require a minimum of three (3) caliper inches of trees for every 500 square feet of the on-site pervious surface area. Sites with 5 acres or greater of on-site pervious area require a minimum of three (3) caliper inches of trees for every 750 square feet of the on-site 11-42 pervious area.Pervious pavement areas,green roofs,and undevelopable areas including but not limited to: wetlands, floodways, archeological resource areas, and water bodies are excluded from the on-site pervious surface area calculation. 3.

B. Landscaping shall be in substantial conformance with the Town Center Design Guidelines. Due to the urban character of the Town Center District, less landscape space will be available than in other zoning districts. Therefore a higher level of design detail and level of landscaping 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. Subd.4 15.Signage.

Source: Ordinance No.28-2007 Effective Date: 12-27-2007 11-43 p LIBERTY - PROPERTY JT TRUST August 6, 2018 Julie Klima, City Planner City of Eden Prairie 8080 Mitchel Road Eden Prairie MN, 5344 SUBJECT: Code Amendment—Transit Oriented Development(TOD) Dear Julie, Upon review of the proposed ordinance amendments we received from Angie Perera of your office, we have the following comments and concerns. Page 11-30, (i)the proposed amendment is changing the ground floor height from 10 feet to 12 feet. This change has several ramifications. 1. The TOD-E district requires the ground floor in all buildings shall be commercial ready along the primary transit street (11-28(1)).The 12-foot height does not appear to be compatible with this standard. 2. The TOD-E district Statement of Policy(11-26) states that the district will have limited commercial use.There is conflict here in the sense that there is limited retail use yet all of the ground floors have to be commercial ready.This conflict creates a significant expense which is likely not economically feasible or practical for the remaining building structure. 3. Commercial tenant spaces are limited to 10,000 sq.ft. or 25,000 for grocery.Since commercial is going to be limited in the TOD-E district, it seems unnecessary to be so specifically defined. Due to the limited use of retail and cost of 10 or 12-foot ceilings,the TOD-E District should allow flexibility in commercial tenant size. Other items that we continue to have concerns about regarding the current and future business operations in the TOD-E district,that we wish to see resolved with any amendment to the TOD—E ordinance language, include; 1. Visitor Parking is only allowed for short-term parking and only to the rear of the building. (11-29 (1)). Having no customer surface parking and all visitor parking away from the front door does not make practical or economic sense for an Employment District. Having all parking within structures and no front-door visitor parking may be suitable for the Mixed Use or Residential TOD but not for the Employment District. FYI—our mixed use consultants,who design large projects nationwide, are adamant that convenience parking is critical to the success of all high density projects. 2. This issue is compounded with the recent notice that the SWLRT will be removing 126 surface parking stalls at the Station Area.The potential lack of parking stalls within the Employment 10301 W. 70th Street, Eden Prairie, MN 55344 1952.947.1100 libertyproperty.com District, as a result of increased LRT parking demand is not a business-friendly approach to our customers or employees. 3. The setback from the Rail Corridor(11-29) should be defined. 4. Residential uses should be allowed in the TOD-E District. Currently,the last sentence of the TOD- E ordinance (11-30(B)) notes that residential buildings are allowed in the TOD-E district and provides the relevant standards. However, residential uses are not listed as a permitted use except for Live/work space such as artist lofts. (11-28) With the Golden Triangle station located in the heart of this area, more flexibility for residential uses should be allowed to ensure the commercial businesses have sustainable demand. 5. As an employment district that currently consists of warehousing and manufacturing businesses and employs hundreds of people in full time, long term, high paying careers,we continue to have concerns regarding the limited use of warehouse/distribution space (15%) in the future; it is noted only as an accessory use. Warehousing and manufacturing are critical components of the technology industries that are fueling the future of our economy and the success of the Golden Triangle. 6. One of our largest concerns with the TOD ordinance was that it was unclear how the TOD ordinance would apply to existing buildings/developments. City Staff stated that the Comprehensive Plan would address"triggers"for when re-zoning of sites for new projects or updates to current businesses should be changed. We want to make sure that these "triggers" are adequately addressed in the updated comprehensive plan so as not to create unfavorable conditions for Liberty Property Trust or our tenants and their employees. Liberty Property Trust is a partner with the City of Eden Prairie in supporting the SWLRT and the benefits light rail will bring to the community and the Golden Triangle area.We are a large stakeholder in ensuring the success of light rail and the development around the station area and will continue to work with the city to provide our business insight during the creation and adoption of TOD ordinances that can successfully support the City,SWLRT, property owners and local businesses (current and future) while defining the bigger picture for the Golden Triangle Transit Area.
