Subject Ordinance 635: Amendment to Chanhassen Retail Center PUD to Allow Additional Signage for
Target
Section NEW BUSINESS Item No: I.2.
Prepared By MacKenzie Walters, Assistant Planner File No: PC 201815
PROPOSED MOTION
If the City Council decides to approve the amendment:
“The Chanhassen City Council approves the ordinance amending the Chanhassen Retail Center Planned Unit
Development, and adopts the attached Findings of Fact and Decision."
If the City Council decides to deny the amendment:
“The Chanhassen City Council denies the ordinance amending the Chanhassen Retail Center Planned Unit
Development, and adopts the attached Findings of Fact and Decision."
Approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
SUMMARY
Target is requesting an amendment to the Chanhassen Retail Center Planned Unit Development (PUD) to permit
signage along their building’s north façade at 851 West 78th Street. The PUD currently limits signage to two street
frontages and the building has existing signage along its western and southern frontages. Target recently added a liquor
section to the northwest corner of their store as part of extensive interior and exterior renovations and feels that
signage along the West 78 th Street frontage is needed to provide visibility for the new liquor section. Other buildings
within the PUD already have signage along three street frontages.
In reviewing the requested PUD amendment, staff examined the general sign code that would govern the property in
the absence of a PUD ordinance, other PUDs, and sign plans within the city, and the existing signage within the PUD.
Staff believes that amending the PUD to allow signage along each street frontage would be in line with the city’s
general sign code and the treatment of similar properties.
The Planning Commission has recommended approval of the proposed PUD amendment.

BACKGROUND
Chanhassen Retail Center PUD:
On October 26, 1992, the City Council gave final approval for the Chanhassen Retail Center PUD and Target project.
The PUD stipulated that wall signage was limited to a maximum of two street frontages.
On February 8, 2010, the City Council approved an amendment to the Chanhassen Retail Center PUD that allowed for
the use of LED lights and adopted the Central Business District standards for the PUD’s setbacks, height, landscape, lot
cover, and other standards not stipulated by the PUD.
On December 6, 2017, sign permits were issued for revised signage along Target's south and west elevations.
On December 28, 2017, a building permit was issued for an interior and exterior remodel of the Target store.
On February 12, 2018, the City Council approved an offsale intoxicating liquor license for Target.
On September 4, 2018, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed PUD amendment.
On September 10, 2018, the City Council discussed signage and Planned Unit Developments during the work
session.
DISCUSSION
During the Public Hearing, local business owner Michael Clausen expressed his opposition to the proposed
amendment. He noted that when he opened his business five years ago, he had expressed interest in having signage
along three sides of his building but had been told by city staff that it was only permitted along two sides. He
expressed his understanding that City Code limits signage to two sides per building. He did not feel it was fair to
change the rules for Target, and felt they should be held to the same standard as every other business.
Commissioner Madsen asked staff if they could address his comments. Staff replied that the city’s base sign ordinance
allows one sign per street frontage, but that different development’s PUDs and sign plans may restrict the number of
street frontages. Staff noted that eleven of the PUDs and sign plans surveyed limited their business to two street
frontages, and that if the speaker’s business was located in one of those, he would have been informed that he was
only allowed signage on two elevations.
Chairman Aller asked for clarification as to the potential impact of the proposed amendment. Staff clarified that it
would allow all businesses within the PUD to one wall sign per street frontage, as provided for in the base sign code.
Commissioner Madsen asked how many signs a business zoned Central Business District (CBD) is allowed if it is not
in a PUD. Staff responded that they would be entitled to signage along each street frontage.
The Commissioners expressed concern that businesses within the PUD and CBD all be treated fairly. They expressed
interest in keeping the PUD internally consistent and making sure that all businesses within it were governed by the
same provisions.
Commissioner Madsen questioned the need for additional signage on Target.
Chairman Aller expressed the opinion that the new liquor store was essentially a new service that may require
additional advertising.
Commissioner Tietz asked staff how this request related to the recently passed pick up/driveup sign ordinance. Staff
responded that the pickup/driveup signs change was citywide and fell under the category of directional signage.
Commissioner Undestad stated that retail is changing and that signage needs are changing with it. He expressed
support for changing it at the PUD level.

RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council approve the ordinance amending the
Chanhassen Retail Center Planned Unit Development.

PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
Target is requesting an amendment to the Chanhassen Retail Center Planned Unit Development
(PUD) to permit signage along their building’s north façade at 851 W. 78th Street. The PUD
currently limits signage to two street frontages and the building has existing signage along its
western and southern frontages. Target recently added a liquor section to the northwest corner of
their store as part of extensive interior and exterior renovations and feels that signage along the
W. 78th Street frontage is need to provide visibility for the new liquor section. Other buildings
within the PUD already have signage along three street frontages.
In reviewing the requested PUD amendment, staff examined the general sign code that would
govern the property in the absence of a PUD ordinance, other PUDs and sign plans within the
city, and the existing signage within the PUD. Staff believes that the requested PUD amendment
is in line with the city’s general sign code and the treatment of similar properties. Staff is
recommending approval of the proposed PUD amendment.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Chanhassen Retail Center Planned Unit Development Ordinance: Limits wall signs to two street
frontages per business, and a maximum of 15 percent (15%) total wall area.
Chapter 20, Article XXVI. – Signs: Limits wall signs in Central Business District (CBD) to one
sign per street frontage per business, and provides a sliding scale for maximum display area.
BACKGROUND
Chanhassen Retail Center PUD:
On October 26, 1992, the City Council gave final approval for the Chanhassen Retail Center PUD
and Target Project. The PUD stipulated that wall signage was limited to a maximum of two street
frontages.
On February 8, 2010, the City Council approved an amendment to the Chanhassen Retail Center
PUD that allowed for the use of LED lights and adopted the Central Business District standards for
the PUD’s setbacks, height, landscape, lot cover, and other standards not stipulated by the PUD.
Relevant Sign Variances:
2003-05: Allowed Giant Panda to place signs on three building elevations, sign plan limited
Highway 5 Centre to two elevations.
2017-03: Allowed Dominos to place sign on eastern façade, sign plan limited Colonial Square to
southern façade.

ANALYSIS
In regulating signage the city attempts to balance the advertising needs of businesses with the
potential visual nuisance/negative aesthetics that can be created by unrestricted signage. One of the
main ways that the city does this is by limiting which elevations can display wall signage. The city’s
general sign code allows businesses to display signage along each street frontage and allows signage
on the entrance façade in cases where the individual entrance does not front a public street. The city
also uses sign plans to further regulate the signage of planned centers and multi-tenant buildings.
These sign plans often designate the location of the building’s sign bands and can limit the number
and height of elevations where signage is permitted. PUDs often also have unique sign criteria that
can specify which elevations are allowed to display signage, and often establish design and style
criteria for the development.
Staff conducted a survey of 29 PUD ordinances and sign plans in order to determine what the
general trend for provisions regulating the maximum number of elevations were for these
developments. Almost half of these developments allow businesses to display signs on each street
elevation, with the next most
common limit being a maximum of
two elevations. Staff also found two
instances in which variances were
granted to allow businesses to
display signage along a façade
prohibited by their sign plan or development’s PUD.
The Chanhassen Retail Center PUD limits each
building’s wall signage to a maximum of two
street frontages, but does not specify which
frontages are allowed signage. As shown by the
table to the left, the various buildings have
signage facing all four potential directions and
two of the PUD’s five buildings already have
signage along three street frontages. The
building shared by Noodles and Jersey Mike’s
has signage along three frontages because the
interpretation was made that each business was
entitled to signage along two elevations. Staff
believes that Perkins was allowed signage along three elevations due to a permitting error.
In many cases where buildings are limited to specific number of elevations, the elevations are
specified (i.e. signage is only permitted on north and south elevations). These specific restrictions
tend to reflect the architectural design of the building or the nature of adjacent land uses. The intent
is typically to prevent unnecessary signage, signage that will detract from the aesthetics of the
building, or signage that will be highly visible to a residential neighborhood. The Chanhassen Retail
Center PUD is not located near any residential neighborhoods and is surrounded by commercial and
industrial uses. In this situation, the primary intent of the restriction is to prevent superfluous

signage as some of the buildings have street frontages where additional signage would not increase
the business’s visibility or would be redundant due to the presence of monument or pylon signs.
During the development’s September 16, 1992 Planning Commission meeting, commissioners
discussed concerns related to superfluous signage as it pertained to Target’s proposed pharmacy
sign; ultimately, they decided to support the presence of the pharmacy sign on the Target building
because it advertised a service not present at all Targets. As a separate issue, the Planning
Commission also discussed the fact that the Target would be allowed signage along W. 78th Street
under the general sign code, which was not being requested. One commissioner indicated that they
felt signage along W. 78th Street might make the development “friendlier” and help break up the
large expanse of wall; however, no action was taken on the comment as Target felt the proposed
signage was sufficient.
Target’s recent remodel has added a new liquor store section with a separate entrance in the
northeast corner of the store. Since this is a new service not found in many Targets and which, due
to the separate entrance, functions largely as a separate store, Target feels that additional signage is
necessary to market the liquor store. Locating a sign near the intersection providing access to
Target’s parking lot facing 78th Street West is the most effective location for the sign. Staff agrees
that the proposed signage is not redundant and that its proposed location is not problematic.
Target Proposed North Elevation
Since multiple buildings within the Chanhassen Retail Center PUD already have signage along
more than two elevations and signage within the development already faces north, south, east, and
west, it would be appropriate to remove the existing provision restricting signage to a maximum of
two street frontages. Amending the PUD to remove that provision would allow the PUD to be
governed by the city’s general sign code’s restrictions limiting signage to elevations where a
building has street frontage.
ALTERNATIVES
1) Remove the provision limiting wall signage within the Chanhassen Retail Center PUD to
two street frontages.
2) Amend the Chanhassen Retail Center PUD to limit signage to three street frontages.
3) Add a provision allowing Chanhassen Retail Center’s major tenant signage along three
street frontages.
4) Retain Chanhassen Retail Center’s existing two street frontage limit.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff believes that Alternative 1 would provide for equal treatment for all businesses within the
Chanhassen Retail Center PUD and would be consistent with the guidelines outlined within the
Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the following motion:
“The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the
Chanhassen Retail Center Planned Unit Development Amendment 2018-15, and adopts the
attached Findings of Fact and Recommendation.”
Should the Planning Commission recommend denial of the proposed PUD amendment, it is
recommended that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion:
“The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends that the City Council deny the Chanhassen
Retail Center Planned Unit Development Amendment 2018-15; and adopts of the attached
Findings of Fact and Recommendation.”
If adopted the amended portion of the Chanhassen Retail PUD would be amended as follows:
2. Wall signs are permitted on no more than 2 street frontages. The total of all wall
mounted sign display areas shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the total area of the
building wall upon which the signs are mounted

Re: Target (T-0862) Target PUD Amendment
851 W 78th St
Chanhassen, MN 55317
Dear Mr. Walters,
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. serves as the engineering consultant for Target, who is seeking a PUD
amendment of the Chanhassen Retail Center for the building at 851 W 78th Street, Chanhassen, MN. The
PUD amendment is being submitted to include a “Wine & Spirits” sign as a permitted exterior wall sign on
the north side of the building.
Target has recently remodeled the Chanhassen store with façade and signage improvements, which
included a new liquor section. Since Target completed the liquor section, they have found that the current
signage is not advertising the service very well to customers. The addition of the “Wine & Spirits” sign on
the north elevation will provide more visibility to the store and new liquor section from 78th Street, which is
the main street facing the store.
We respectfully request to be on your next Planning Commission agenda. Thank you for your time and
comments on the initial submittal. If you have any more questions or require any additional information,
please feel free to contact me at 763-251-1015 or Leila.bunge@kimley-horn.com.
Sincerely,
Leila Bunge
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.
