separate zoning districts and the plans and procedures established for
each Special District will continue in force. When a Special District
Ordinance does not specify the procedure or criteria to amend an
approved site development plan, the proposed amendment will be
reviewed under section 61.148. When a Special District Ordinance
requires a specific site/development plan review process, but does not
specify the criteria by which to review the site/development plan, the
development will be reviewed under section 61.148. When a Special
District Ordinance requires a two-phase review, the development will be
reviewed under section 61.146 and either section 62.708 (1) (for
preliminary plans) or section 62.708 (2) (for final plans).
Section 2. Clause B of Subdivision 2 of Section 64V.230 of the Rochester
Code of Ordinances is hereby amended and reenacted to read as follows:
B. Site Standards:
(1) Parking for the transient accommodation facility and
Building B on Lot 2, Block 1, shall be allowed in the
front of the facility and adjacent to the public street
th
frontage of 16 Street S.W., in accordance with the
Special District Plan dated August 17, 2016.
(2) Parking shall be on the side or to the rear of the
commercial uses with regard to the public street
1
frontage. On-street parking in front or on the side of
the lot shall count toward fulfilling the parking
requirements.
(3) Commercial building façade heights shall be based
upon the intended use with consideration given to
scale in respect to the neighboring residential uses
adjacent to the site. Commercial building facades
shall not exceed two stories in height or 26 feet above
the building’s primary entrance level excluding corner
entrance and/or corner signage elements when they
are not directly adjacent to neighboring residential
uses.
(4) The allowable building height for transient
accommodations shall not exceed 50 feet above the
ground level measured at the main entrance located
at the east side of the building.
(5) The Multi-Family Residential building façade shall not
exceed five stories or 58 feet above the building’s
primary entrance level. Each end of the multi-family
residential building shall be stepped to four stories
above the primary entrance level for a minimum of 12
feet from the common exterior wall below to reduce
overlooking.
(a) Rooftop community gathering spaces within
the Multi-Family Residential building shall be
located on the west end of the apartment
building with a minimum 400 feet setback from
the eastern property boundary and adjacent
residential use.
(6) Underground and surface parking shall be allowed.
(7) Minimum building setbacks shall be as follows:
(a) Commercial/Office/Retail uses shall provide a
minimum building setback of 40 feet from
eastern property line.
(b) Multi-Family Residential uses shall provide a
minimum building setback of 65 feet from
eastern property line.
2
(8) A minimum 30-foot wide natural buffer (as measured
from the property line to the canopy edge) shall be
established along the full length of the eastern
property line. This existing area along Parcel A’s
eastern boundary shall be managed for removal of
invasive species and specimens of poor quality.
Desirable deciduous overstory trees shall be
maintained that comply with City Forestry guidelines.
Suitable species to be used to provide additional
screening along the perimeters of the site include
Valley Forge and Princeton (disease-resistant)
American elm, hackberry, bur oak, black cherry
cranberry bush viburnum, dogwood, chokeberry,
serviceberry, elderberry and silver maple (Autumn
Blaze Maple), in order to blend in with the native
floodplain forest of the Zumbro River.
(a) The screening ability of this established buffer
along the eastern property line shall be
augmented by the addition of up to 8
evergreen tree species (Black Hills Spruce,
Colorado Blue Spruce, etc.) per 100 lineal feet
of property line. Exact placement and grouping
shall be determined after the initial grading and
clearing has taken place and before the
balance of the landscaping has been
completed on site.
(9) A centrally focused, pedestrian oriented “Town
Square” landscaped area contributes to the Town
Center design concept and helps to reduce the visual
impact required parking areas have. Pedestrian
scaled amenities could include seating areas,
sidewalk connections, small gathering areas, and/or
open space.
(10) Sidewalk connectivity throughout the site and
between buildings and exterior amenities is required.
Pedestrian access should be encouraged by
providing a system of sidewalks and paths to navigate
through the site encouraging people to walk and
