City Code Issue Paper
BACKGROUND
This is a continuation of the proposed update of the City Code to coincide with
the adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Staff has continued to review the
City Code and discovered issues, shortfalls, and general updates, and prepared
pertinent additions that are warranted by the adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive
Plan.
Staff will be focusing on issues related to Signage; Conditional and Interim Use
Permits; pre-application meeting prior to formal submittal of an application;
Planned Unit Development setback requirements; and commercial zoning
districts, including the proposed addition of the Community and Regional
Commercial districts. In some cases, staff has offered a potential change to a
specific section as a general update or known issue.
Staff is requesting input and guidance with regard to the identified issues before
we proceed with the public hearings. Based on that feedback, the public hearing
for the code amendments and recommendations will be scheduled.
Staff has prepared a strike-through (delete) and bold (add) format to review the
proposed changes.
ANA YLSIS
SIGNAGE
Staff has conducted a survey of sign companies that have worked in the
community, the Chanhassen Chamber of Commerce and several communities, via
the Minnesota APA Chapter, and received 18 responses from cities as well as
consulting firms. From the feedback produced by the survey, staff has developed
the following issues and proposed recommendations for the Sign Ordinance.
Permanent Signs
1. ISSUE: The current ordinance states that signage shall use individual dimension
letters, at least one-half inch in depth. Staff's intent was to require all wall

signage to maintain these standards. However, the literal translation of the current design
standards for signage requires all lettering to be individual dimension, a minimum Y2-inch deep.
This includes monument signs and multi-tenant panel signs. Typically, the panel on a multi-
tenant sign is v,;-inch thick. To comply with the Y2-inch depth, this requires push-through letters.
Such lettering is more costly to the applicant, than routing out the letters in the panel. The
dimension lettering is less visible at a distance on a monument sign than it is on a wall sign due
to the scale of the sign. Staff proposes requiring dimension letters on a monument sign for the
name of the center or development only.

2. ISSUE: Individual dimension lettering is
required for all wall signs. Should a
business choose to advertise their
Registered Trademark or service as a
small cabinet sign secondary to the
overall wall sign display area, a variance
would be required. Staff is proposing to
limit the size of a cabinet for wall
signage, to allow the business reasonable
opportunity to advertise their name and
servIce.

3. ISSUE: The current sign ordinance allows 15% of the total sign display area to be occupied by a
logo. A business would be required to request variance approval should the logo of the sign
exceed 15% of the sign area.

Planning Commission

Page 3
All 18 responses (from the conducted survey) promote a content neutral sign ordinance and limit
the sign display area of the sign and not the content. Based on this feedback, staff is proposing
to increase the percentage a logo that may occupy of the total sign display area to 30%, to allow
a business a reasonable opportunity to advertise their name, registered trademark, and service.
PROPOSED CHANGE: Amend Sec. 20-1267 as shown below.
Sec. 20-1267. Uniformity of construction, design, etc.
All permanent signs shall be designed and constructed in a uniform manner and, to the extent
possible, as an integral part ofthe building's architecture. Multi-tenant commercial and industrial
buildings shall have uniform signage. When buildings or developments are presented for site
plan review, proposed signs for the development should shall be presented concurrently for staff
review. All planned centers and multi-tenant buildings shall submit a comprehensive sign plan
for approval by the Planning Commission and City Council.
a. All wall signage and center or development name on a monument sign shall use
individual dimensional letters, at least one-half inch in depth deep. -ana Registered
trademarks with letters 6 inches tall or less and 30 percent or less of the total sign
display area as well as logos may be exempt from this requirement.
b. Wall signs shall be backlit if a wall sign is illuminated, and be architecturally compatible
with the building and other signage if in a multi-tenant building. Company symbols, display
messages, pictorial presentations, illustrations, or decorations (anything other than wording)
c. Company logos shall not occupy more than~ 30 percent of the sign display area.
4. ISSUE: The current ordinance allows signage on buildings where an individual entrance does
not front on a public street for multi-tenant buildings only. Staffs intent is to allow for signage on
buildings where individual entrances do not front on a public street for single and multi-tenant
buildings.
The current ordinance prohibits wall signs adjoining a residential district unless there is an
intervening public street. Staff proposes that in circumstances where an intervening building
would serve as a screen for the signage to the residential properties, wall signage would be
permitted. This is true for all commercial and industrial zoning districts.
PROPOSED CHANGE: Amend Sections 20-1302 to 20-1304 as shown below.
(1) Wall business signs. One wall business sign shall be permitted on the street frontage for each
business occupant within a building. In multi tenant buildings where individual entrances do not
front on a public street, a wall sign may be permitted on the entrance facade consistent with the
approved comprehensive sign plan.
The sign may contain the name and logo ofthe business only and shall have a sign display area
that is in compliance with the district standards. Wall business signs shall not be mounted upon
3
Planning Commission
June 3, 2008
Page 4
the wall of any building which faces any adjoining residential district without an intervening
building or f*lblie street. The total of all wall mounted sign display areas for each business shall
not exceed the square footage established in the following table:
5. ISSUE: The section pertaining to signs allowed in specific commercial districts only permits a
monument sign per street frontage in the lOP district.
DISCUSSION: Should one monument per street frontage be allowed for all commercial
districts? The intent is to allow reasonable and equitable opportunity to advertise without
creating a cluttered environment.
The language from the lOP district is below:
Sec. 20-1304. Industrial office park signs.
(2) Ground low profile business signs. One ground low profile business sign shall be permitted
per site for each street frontage. Such sign' shall not exceed 64 square feet, except on a state
highway, in display area nor be greater than eight feet in height. Such sign shall be located at
least ten feet from any property line. A ground low profile on a state highway may not exceed 80
square feet and eight feet in height. Such sign shall be located at least ten feet from any property
line.
PROPOSED CHANGE: Amend Sections 20-1302 to 20-1303 as shown below.
Sec. 20-1302. Neighborhood business, fringe business, and office and institutional districts.
The following signs shall be allowed by permit in any 01, BF, or BN districts:
(1) Ground low profile business signs. One ground low profile business or institutional sign not
exceeding 24 square feet of sign display area shall be permitted per street frontage. Such sign
shall be located at least ten feet from any property line and shall not exceed five feet in height.
Sec. 20-1303. Highway, general business districts and central business districts.
(3) Ground low profile business signs. One ground low profile business sign shall be permitted
per street frontage per eaeh outlot or separate building pad that has street frontage. The height
and square footage of the sign shall be based on the table above. Such signs shall be located at
least 300 feet from any other pylon or ground sign on the parcel and at least ten feet from any
property line.
6. ISSUE: Discuss signage along the new Highway 312/212. Currently the ordinance permits
pylon signs on parcels that abut a Highway for commercial and industrial properties. Many of
the parcels along Highway 312/212 are Planned Unit Developments and near residential
neighborhoods. Where and when pylon signs should be permitted. What about the regional
mall?

Temporary Signs
1. ISSUE: Due to the upcoming November Election, campaign signs will soon be erected around
the city. According to State Statue campaign signs are of noncommercial nature, therefore, they
may not be regulated and are allowed without a permit. However, often campaign signs are put
up too early; placed in the right of way or site triangle; do not meet the required setback from a
polling place, or; are place on private property without permission. Staff has reviewed the City's
current campaign sign ordinance, Minnesota State Statutes 212B.045 and 212B.11, and queried
other cities. Based on that research staff is proposing changes to the Campaign Sign ordinance
that reflect Minnesota State Statues and the integrity of the community.
State Statute
211B.045 NONCOMMERCIAL SIGNS EXEMPTION.
In any municipality, whether or not the municipality has an ordinance that regulates the size or
number of noncommercial signs, all noncommercial signs of any size may be posted in any
number from August 1 in a state general election year until ten days following the state general
election.
211B.ll
This section forbids erection of campaign sign before Election Day for display on Election Day
within 100 feet of polling place.
PROPOSED CHANGE: Amend Section 20-1255 as shown below.
City of Chanhassen
(1) Political campaign signs: Temporary political campaign signs are permitted according to the
following:
a. Shall comply with the fair campaign practices act contained the M.S. ch. 211B.045
b. Permitted from August 1 in a state general election year until 10 days following the
state general election and thirteen (13) weeks prior to any special election until ten (10)
days following the special election.
c. No such sign shall be located within one hundred (100) feet from any polling site.
d. The sign must contain the name of the person responsible for such sign, and that person shall
be responsible for its removal.
e. Sign shall be located on private property with permission of the property owner.
f. Signs are not permitted in the public right-of-way, or within the site triangle.
g. The city shall have the right to remove and destroy signs not conforming to this subsection.

2. ISSUE: It is staff's intent to allow a 30-day banner or portable sign display period to coincide
with a grand opening in addition to the three ten-day display periods per calendar year. The
current ordinance states that a business may have a banner or portable sign for 30 days to
coincide with a grand opening or three occasions per year with a maximum ten-day display
period. This does not benefit a new business opening in the community as they must choose to
have either a grand opening sign or to advertise their business/sale on three separate occasions
throughout the year. Staff proposes clarification of the original intent.
3. ISSUE: The intent ofthe temporary sign ordinance is to allow tenants equal opportunity to
advertise their name and service. However, in a multi-tenant building, when all of the tenants
apply for temporary signs at the same time, it can cause visual clutter on the site and be a
distraction to motorist. Staff is proposing to limit the number of portable and detached banner
signs for a multi-tenant building to one per major entrance into the site.
4. ISSUE: The height of detached banners must also be addressed as some detached banners
exceed the height of the building. Staff is proposing to limit the display area and height of
detached banners to similar to the requirements as portable signs.
DISCUSSION: The intent of the sign ordinance is to allow business an equal opportunity to
advertise without creating a cluttered environment? Do you think this has been achieved or what
changes do you feel must be made? Should an increased monument sign be permitted if it is in
combination with changeable copy, in lieu of temporary signs? Currently 25% of the total sign
display area is allowed to be comprised of changeable copy, should this be increased if it is
taking the place of temporary signs?
PROPOSED CHANGE: Amend Sec 20-1256 (1) as shown below.
Sec. 20-1256. Permit for temporary signs, searchlights, banners, etc.
Temporary signs are permitted as follows:
1. Banners attached to the principal structure shall not exceed 140 square feet.
2. Detached banners shall not exceed 32 square feet and 5 feet in height.
3. and Portable signs shall not exceed 32 square feet and 6 feet in height.
4. and All temporary sign age shall meet the following standards:
a. A 30-day display period to coincide with the grand opening of a business or a new
development (business park or shopping center), or a business may display a bar.ner or
portable sign on three occasions per calendar year with a maximum ten day display
period for each occasion. which shall be in addition to Sec 20-1256 (4) (b) .
b. A business may display an attached or detached banner or portable sign on up to
three occasions per calendar year with a maximum ten-day display period for each
occasion.

dr-Messages must relate to on-premises products or services, or any noncommercial
message; and
d.e-:Banners must be located on the property affixed to a prinoipal structure which is owned
or leased by the business which the sign is advertising. Nonprofit and governmental event
banners are excluded from this provision.
e.4-Portable signs and detached banners shall not be located in the public right-of-way.
f. e,. In multi-tenant buildings:
1. Portable signs and detached banners are limited to the driveway entrance area;
2. No more than one portable sign or detached banner shall be permitted per entrance at
any given time.
g. Sign permit issued by City.
5. ISSUE: City Code allows electronic message centers with a Conditional Use Permit, however,
they may not flash or scroll. The messages on the electronic message centers that have been
approved change to depict the time, temperature, etc. Permitted sign include the American
Legion and Chapel Hill Academy.
DISCUSSION: Should there be a frequency requirement that a message must stay on the screen
before changing, i.e. 8 seconds per message?
CONDITONAL USE AND INTERIM USE PERMITS
1. ISSUE: There are some properties within the city that have obtained a Conditional Use or an
Interim Use Permit recorded against a property. In some cases the property is subdivided years
later. This poses several problems: there may be multiple owners for the subdivided properties
governed by the CUP/IUP; with the addition ofthe new lot lines, thus the site plan has changes
and the CUP lIUP may be in violation of the conditions of approval. It is difficult to maintain the
conditions of approval on a property that has been sold to new owners who mayor may not be
aware of the CUP IIUP.
Staff is proposing to add language to the Conditional Use and Interim use sections of the city
code that subdivion of the property shall deem the CUP or IUP null and void.
PROPOSED CHANGE: Amend Sec. 20-237 (a) as shown below:
Failure to comply with any condition set forth in a conditional use permit shall be a misdemeanor
or a subdivion of the parcel under the Conditional Use Permit that would materially affect
7
Planning Commission
June 3, 2008
Page 8
the approved CUP, including but not limited to reduction of lot size, hard surface cover,
etc., and shall alse constitute sufficient cause for the revocation of the conditional use permit by
the city council following a public hearing. The property owner shall be notified in advance of
the city council's review of the permit.
PROPOSED CHANGE: Amend Sec. 20-325 as shown below:
An interim use permit shall terminate on the happening of any of the following events, which
ever first occurs:
(1) The date stated in the permit;
(2) Upon violation of conditions under which the permit was issued;
(3) Upon subdivision of the parcel that would materially affect the approved IUP, including
but not limted to lot size, hard surface coverage, etc.;
(4) Upon change in the city's zoning regulations which renders the use nonconforming.
PRE-APPLICATION SUBMITTAL MEETING
Subdivision, Site Plan Review, Variance, Conditional Use and Interim Use
ISSUE: Staff would like to emphasize the pre-submittal meeting with developers, homeowners,
etc. prior to their formal application submittal. The intent is to identify, discuss and resolve any
issues and/or concerns before the application is submitted and brought before the Planning
Commission and City Council. This would help alleviate development review applications that
are incomplete or that have unresolved issues that lead the commission or council to table action
for resolution at a stafflevel, only to return at the next meeting.
This is currently a requirement for Planned Unit Developments. This should be common
practice for all application submittals, including Site Plan Review, Variances, Conditional Use
Permits, and Interim Use Permit applications. Staff is proposing using similar language to the
Planned Unit Development requirements.
Prior to filing an application for a [site plan review, variance, conditional use, interim use]
the applicant shall attend a conference with city staff. The primary purpose of the
conference shall be to provide the applicant with an opportunity to gather information and
obtain guidance on the general merits of the proposal and its conformity to the provisions
of this ordinance before incurring substantial expense.
PROPOSED CHANGE: Amend Sections. 20-109, 20-56, 20-231 & 20-323.

PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
ISSUE: There are issues with the mandatory setback and buffer requirements in the Planned
Unit Development section ofthe City Code. The buffer requirements are overly restrictive and
prevent implementation of other planning goals, e.g. street front retail. Staff proposes that these
setback standards be developed in conjunction with the design and approval of each project,
rather than a one-size-fits-all standard.
Sec. 20-501. Intent.
"Planned unit developments offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of
most normal zoning district standards. The use of the PUD zoning also allows for a greater
variety of uses, internal transfers of density, construction phasing and a potential for lower
development costs. In exchange for this enhanced flexibility, the City has the expectation that
the development plan will result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal
than would have been the case with the use of other, more standard zoning districts." (Emphasis
added)
The above paragraph discusses the enhanced flexibility; however, the imposition of the strict
standards is contradictory to the overall intent ofthe PUD.
In order to maintain a basis for negotiation for setback requirements, staff proposes reducing the
minimum setback standards to allow for more flexibility. Staff will be referencing the buffer
yard requirements to determine the minimum setback requirements within a PUD. The
minimum setback requirement is dependent on the adjacent land use.
Finally, staff would provide a basis or criteria for the City to either increase the required setbacks
or reduce the setbacks in order to implement community goals, e.g., affordable housing, street
front retail, enhanced public spaces, etc.
Sec. 20-505 Required General Standards
(f) The setback for all buildings within a PUD from any abutting street line shall be 30 feet f{)r
local streets and 50 feet from railroad lines or collector or arterial streets, as designated in the
comprehensive plan, except that in no case shall the setback be less than the height of the
building up to a maximum of 100 feet. The setbaok for all buildings from exterior PUD lot
lines not abutting a publio street shall be 30 feet except that in no case shall the setback be
less than the height of the building up to a maximum of 100 feet. Building and parking
setbacks from internal public streets shall be determined by the City based on characteristics
ofthe specific PUD. Parking lots and driving lanes shall be setback at least 20 feet from all
exterior lot lines of a PUD.
The setback f{)r parking structures including decks and ramps shall be 35 feet from local
streets and 50 feet from all other street olassifioations except that in no case shall the setback
be less than the height of the structure. Parking structure setbacks from external lot lines
9
Planning Commission
June 3, 2008
Page 10
shall be 50 feet or the height ofthe structure, v/hichever is greater where adjacent to
residential property; 35 feet when adjacent to nonresidential properties. Parking structures
setbacks from internal public or private streets shall be determined by the City based on
characteristics of the specific PUD.
Where industrial uses abut developed or platted single-family lots outside the PUD, greater
exterior building and parking setbacks may be required in order to provide effective
screening. The City Council shall make a determination regarding the adequacy of screening
proposed by the applicant. Screening may include the use of natural topography or earth
berming, existing and proposed plantings and other features such as roadways and wetlands
which provide separation of uses. PUD's must be developed in compliance with buffer yard
requirements established by the comprehensive plan and article XXV of the Chanhassen
City Code.
(m)Buffer yards. The City Comprehensiye Plan establishes a requirement for buffer yards.
Buffer yards are to be established in areas indicated on the plan where higher intensity uses
interface with lO'tv density uses. In these areas, a 50 foot buffer yard is to be provided v.here
the interface occurs along a public street, a 100 foot buffer yard is required .where the
interface occurs on intemallot lines.
The buffer yard is an additional setback requirement. It is to be cumulatiyely calculated with
the required setbacks outlined abo'/e. The full obligation to provide the buffer yard shall be
placed on the parcel containing the higher intensity use.
The buffer yard is intended to provide additional physical separation and screening for the
higher intensity use. As such, they will be required to be provided with a combination of
berming, landscaping and/or tree preservation to maximize the buffering potential. To the
extent deemed feasible by the City, new plantings shall be designed to require the minimum
of maintenance, hov/ever, such maintenance as may be required to maintain consistency \vith
the approved plan, shall be the obligation of the property owner.
Buffer yards shall be covered by a permanently recorded conservation easement running in
favor of the City.
In instances where existing topography and/or vegetation pro'{ide buffering satisfactory to
the City, or where quality site planning is achieved, the City may reduce buff-er yard
requirements by up to 50 percent. The applicant shall have the full burden of demonstrating
compliance with the standards herein.
PROPOSED CHANGE: Amend Sec. 20-505 (f) to read as follows: "Building and parking
setbacks from public streets shall be determined by the City based on characteristics of the
specific PUD.
Where industrial uses abut developed or platted single-family lots outside the PUD, greater
exterior building and parking setbacks may be required in order to provide effective screening.

separation of uses. PUD's must be developed in compliance with buffer yard requirements
established by the comprehensive plan and article XXV ofthe Chanhassen City Code."
And delete Section 20-505 (m).
COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS
ISSUE: Staff is in the process of reevaluating all commercial districts; this includes
consolidating, and creating two new districts, Regional and Community Commercial. This
corresponds with the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan discussion. Given the intent of each of
the districts, do you believe the specific uses reflect that intent?
See attached Commercial Zoning Use Matrixes
a) Reevaluate: Neighborhood, Central and Highway Business Districts.
Nei2:hborhood Business District
1. Banks in BN District:
Current ordinance requires a Conditional Use Permit to allow a drive-thru bank in the BN
District. Staff is proposing creating standards that would regulate the drive-thru facility. These
standards would apply to all drive-thru windows throughout the City. The facility will be
evaluated through the Site Plan Permit process. If an existing building is converted to a bank or
other use requiring a drive-thru, the conversion will be processed administratively subject to
compliance with the standards.
2. Buffer yards in commercial or industrial districts:
The current ordinance requires an excessive buffer yard in addition to a setback in all
commercial districts. The original criterion was created to buffer residential districts from
industrial sites. In 1993, the Planning Commission recommended to amend the ordinance in all
commercial districts as well as the industrial districts to increase the buffer. A buffer is intended
to provide a separation as well as visual protection from a higher use.
Staff has been encountering situations where this added buffer serves no practical purpose nor
does it serve its intent. This requirement leads to a variance request in which a hardship must
exist. There are other means in providing adequate buffering that can be much more efficient
and effective than a mandatory buffer area. For example, the City has a landscaping buffer yard
11
Planning Commission
June 3, 2008
Page 12
requirement under the landscaping section of the City Code which can be part of the required
setback area.
Staff is also proposing to increase the required setback for industrial uses abutting residential
from 50 feet to 100 feet.
PROPOSED CHANGE: Delete Sections 20-695 (8) e, 20-715 (8) e, 20-755 (7) e & 20-774 (7)
e, 20-815 (e).
Amend Section 20-815 (d) to read as follows: "The minimum setback is 100 feet when it abuts a
residential district without being separated from the residential district by a street or railroad
right-of-way.
In instances where existing topography and/or vegetation provide buffering satisfactory to the
city, or where quality site planning is achieved, the city may reduce buffer yard requirements by
up to 50 percent. The applicant shall have the full burden of demonstrating compliance with the
standards herein."
3. Drive-thru window:
The current ordinance does not address drive-thru windows for uses other than fast food and
banks. There are uses such as pharmacy, dry cleaning, etc. that utilize drive-thru windows. Staff
has been regulating them as an accessory use. Staff recommends creating specific standards to
address all drive-thrus within the Supplemental Regulations of the City Code.
4. BN District Height limitation:
The current ordinance limits building height in the BN district to one story. Staff is
recommending a three-story building and a maximum height of 3 5 feet may be permitted. These
are the same standards as the Residential Single Family District. The buffer yard requirements in
Article XXV ofthe Chanhassen City Code will apply within the required setbacks.

5. Uses in the BN District:
In the Neighborhood Business District all stand alone restaurants (either fast food or standard)
require a Conditional Use Permit. There are not any standard regulations in the City Code for
standard restaurants under the Conditional Use Permit Section. The standards for granting a site
plan permit adequately address all the concerns associated with restaurants, i.e. noise, odor,
compatibility with surrounding area, traffic, screening, etc.
The Conditional Use Permit requirement for fast food restaurants was intended when a drive-thru
was integrated into the use, to regulate the loud speaker system, etc. Staff is proposing
developing drive-thru window standards in the supplemental regulations. This would allow any
type of restaurant to be a permitted use in the BN district as well as to allow drive-thru windows
throughout the City. Should a restaurant request a drive-thru, the facility will be evaluated
through the Site Plan Permit process.
In addition, if an existing building is converted to a fast food restaurant, or other use requiring a
drive-thru, the conversion will be processed administratively subject to compliance with the
standards.

In the Central Business District all stand alone restaurants (fast food and standard restaurants)
require a Conditional Use Permit. There are not any standard regulations in the City Code for
standard restaurants under the Conditional Use Permit Section. The standards for granting a site
plan permit adequately address the all concerns associated with restaurants i.e. noise, odor,
compatibility with surrounding area, traffic, screening, etc.
The Conditional Use Permit requirement for fast food restaurants was intended when a drive-thru
was integrated into the use, to regulate the loud speaker system, etc. Staff is proposing
developing drive-thru window standards in the supplemental regulations. This would allow any
type of restaurant to be a permitted use in the CBD district as well as to allow drive-thru
windows throughout the City. Should a restaurant request a drive-thru, the facility will be
evaluated through the Site Plan Permit process.
In addition, if an existing building is converted to a fast food restaurant or other use requiring a
drive-thru, the conversion will be processed administratively subject to compliance with the
standards.
PROPOSED CHANGE: Delete Sec. 20-734 (2).
Freestanding fast f-ood restaurants.
a. Eliminate: The implications of eliminating the General Business (BG) district and rezoning
these properties to Central Business District (CBD).
See attached BG/CBD use matrix
b. Create: As stated in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan (Draft) the City has maintained a
longstanding policy of directing commercial development into the Central Business
District. Following are the new zoning districts, the City zoning ordinance will be amended
to create the development standards for these districts.
Staff has begun drafting the vision and intent statements ofthe Community and Regional
Commercial Zoning Districts. There are many aspects which require further discussion based on
the intent of the districts. Points of discussion include lot size, building size and height,
permitted uses, setbacks and parking location.
Community Commercial (HiS! Box Retailers)
The intent of the community commercial district is to provide for moderate to large sized
commercial development. These large-scale commercial and office users need high visibility
along arterial roads. While smaller scale ancillary commercial uses may be permitted integral to
the principal use, the primary use of a building shall be "big box" type users with a minimum
space of 20,000 square feet. The intent of the district is to accommodate larger uses. The
creation of multi-tenant, small user, strip centers is prohibited.

intersections with collector and arterial streets; moderate to large-sized sites; public water and
sewer service; environmental features such as soils and topography suitable for compact
development; and adequate buffering by physical features or adjacent uses to protect nearby
residential development.

Re2ional Commercial
This district is intended to provide for the development of regional and community scale
integrated retail, office, business services, personal services and services to the traveling public
near freeway interchanges. It shall strive to create a self-sustaining pattern ofland uses with
cultural, employment, entertainment, housing, shopping and social components.
The regional commercial district is a mixed commercial district with retail and entertainment
uses of a scale and function that serves a regional market. The physical environment emphasizes
an attractive, comfortable walking experience for shoppers and visitors. It shall be designed to
serve pedestrian and mass transit users as well as automobile traffic. Centers of this type,
generally, have at least two major retail anchors and are characterized by the diversity of mixed
retail and service uses. Uses within this district should complement existing retail users in the
other commercial districts.
Development of these centers shall be planned as a group of organized uses and structures to
accommodate a sensitive transition between commercial activities such as loading, parking of
automobiles, lighting and trash collection and surrounding residential uses. Such centers shall be
designed with one theme, with similar architectural style, similar exterior building materials, and
a coordinated landscaping theme, but shall avoid monotony in design and visual appearance.
Vehicle and pedestrian access is coordinated and logically linked to provide a comprehensive
circulation system.
Master Development Plan Required.
A master development plan which complies with the standards of this chapter and which has
been approved by the City shall be required for all property within the district. Property which is
