CHANHASSEN BUSINESS CENTER
(PUD 91-4)
Adopted 2/8/93
Amended 8/10/09
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
a. Intent
The purpose of this zone is to create a PUD light industrial/office park. The use of the PUD zone
is to allow for more flexible design standards while creating a higher quality and more sensitive
proposal. All utilities are required to be placed underground. Each lot proposed for development
shall proceed through site plan review based on the development standards outlined below.
Except as specifically provided herein, the subject property is subject to the requirements
of the lOP, Industrial Office Park District, zoning district, and the City Code supplemental
and off street parking requirements as may be amended. (8/10/09)
b. Permitted Uses
The permitted uses in this zone should be limited to light industrial, warehousing, and office as
defined below. The uses shall be limited to those as defined herein. If there is a question as to the
whether or not a use meets the definition, the City Council shall make that interpretation.
1. Light Industrial. The manufacturing, compounding, processing, assembling, packaging, or
testing of goods or equipment or research activities entirely within an enclosed structure, with
no outside storage. There shall be negligible impact upon the surrounding environment by
noise, vibration, smoke, dust or pollutants.
2. Warehousing. Means the commercial storage of merchandise and personal property.
3. Office. Professional and business office, non-retail activity.
c. Setbacks
In the PUD standards, there is the requirement for landscape buffering in addition to building and
parking setbacks. The landscape buffer on Audubon Road is 50 feet, south of Lake Drive and
100 feet along the southern property line. The PUD zone requires a building to be setback 50
feet from the required landscape buffer and public right-of-ways. There is no minimum
requirement for setbacks on interior lot lines.

The following setbacks shall apply:
Audubon Road Buffer & Setback 50' plus 50' 50' plus 10'
South Property Line & Setback 100" plus 50' 100' plus 10'
Front & Rear ROW on Lake Drive 25' 15'

Total 100% 603,500 sq. ft.
e. Building Materials and Design
1. The PUD requires that the development demonstrate a higher quality of architectural
standards and site design. All mechanical equipment shall be screened with material
compatible to the building.
2. All materials shall be of high quality and durable. Masonry material shall be used. Color shall
be introduced through colored block or panels and not painted block.
3. Brick may be used and must be approved to assure uniformity.
4. Block shall have a weathered face or be polished, fluted, or broken face.
5. Concrete may be poured in place, tilt-up or pre-cast, and shall be finished in stone, textured or
coated.
6. Metal siding will not be approved except as support material to one of the above materials or
curtain wall on office components or, as trim or as HV AC screen.
7. All accessory structures shall be designed to be compatible with the primary structure.
8. All roof mounted equipment shall be screened by walls of compatible appearing material.
Wood screen fences are prohibited. All exterior process machinery, tanks, etc., are to be fully
screened by compatible materials.
9. The use of large unadorned, prestressed concrete panels and concrete block shall be
prohibited. Acceptable materials will incorporate textured surfaces, exposed aggregate
and/or other patterning. All walls shall be given added architectural interest through building
design or appropriate landscaping.
10. Space for recycling shall be provided in the interior of all principal structures for all
developments in the Business Center.
4
f. Site Landscaping and Screening
1. All buffer landscaping, including boulevard landscaping, included in Phase I area to be
installed when the grading of the phase is completed. This may well result in landscaping
being required ahead of individual site plan approvals but we believe the buffer yard and
plantings, in particular, need to be established immediately. In addition, to adhere to the
higher quality of development as spelled out in the POD zone, all loading areas shall be
screened. Each lot for development shall submit a separate landscaping plan as a part of the
site plan review process.
2. All open spaces and non-parking lot surfaces shall be landscaped, rockscaped, or covered
with plantings and/or lawn material.
3. Storage of material outdoors is prohibited unless it has been approved under site plan review.
All approved outdoor storage must be screened with masonry fences and/or landscaping.
3. The master landscape plan for the CBC PUD shall be the design guide for all of the specific
site landscape developments. Each lot must present a landscape plan for approval with the
site plan review process.
4. Undulating or angular berms 3' to 4' in height, south of Lake Drive along Audubon Road shall
be sodded or seeded at the conclusion of Phase I grading and utility construction. The required
buffer landscaping may be installed incrementally, but it shall be required where it is deemed
necessary to screen any proposed development. All required boulevard landscaping shall be
sodded.
5. Loading areas shall be screened from public right-of-ways. Wing wall may be required where
deemed appropriate.
g. Signage
1. All freestanding signs be limited to monument signs. The sign shall not exceed eighty (80)
square feet in sign display area nor be greater than eight (8) feet in height. The sign treatment
is an element of the architecture and thus should reflect with the quality of the development.
The signs should be consistent in color, size, and material throughout the development. The
applicant should submit a sign package for staff review.
2. Each property shall be allowed one monument sign located near the driveway into the private
site. All signs require a separate permit.
3. The signage will have consistency throughout the development. A common theme will be
introduced at the development's entrance monument and will be used throughout.
4. Consistency in signage shall relate to color, size, materials, and heights.
5
h. Lighting
1. Lighting for the interior of the business center should be consistent throughout the
development. The applicant's proposal is consistent with the lighting standards for the PUD
ordinance. The plans do not provide for street lighting. As with previous industrial
parks/roadways, the City has required the developer to install street lights throughout the
street system. The street lights should be designed consistent with the existing lighting along
Audubon Road.
2. A decorative, shoe box fixture (high pressure sodium vapor lamps) with a square ornamental
pole shall be used throughout the development area for area lighting.
3. Lighting equipment similar to what is mounted in the public street right-of-ways shall be
used in the private areas.
4. All light fixtures shall be shielded. Light level for site lighting shall be no more than 1/2
candle at the property line. This does not apply to street lighting.
