Ordinance 2010-012 <br /> 1. The arrangement, geometry and massing of individual buildings <br /> shall be responsive to the arrangement, geometry and massing of the <br /> whole of the GB District. <br /> 2. Exterior building treatment (wall surfaces) shall be of brick, stone, <br /> glass or any combination thereof, except trim and accessories may be <br /> metal. <br /> 3. Materials and colors selected for any individual building shall be <br /> compatible with other buildings in the GB District. <br /> 4. All service entrance areas, mechanical equipment and trash <br /> handling devices shall be screened from adjacent building and off-site <br /> visibility. <br /> 5. A "campus" plan arrangement is hereby encouraged and a <br /> "signature" building is considered desirable. <br /> E. Parking. Parking requirements contained in Section 1325.06 shall <br /> apply. However, these requirements may be adjusted by the City in the <br /> project review process if the changes will more effectively accomplish the <br /> stated purpose of the GB District. <br /> Surface parking shall maintain a fifty (50) foot landscape setback from all <br /> public streets and a twenty (20) foot landscaped area from exterior project <br /> property lines, except for access drives that may cross the setback area. <br /> Since the intent of this parking setback is to provide visual separation for <br /> large scale developments service stations with retail sales and services and <br /> with a car wash shall be exempt for this particular requirement and instead <br /> shall be required to meet the general parking setback requirements (a <br /> twenty (20) foot parking setback from any public street or right-of-way <br /> and a five (5) foot parking setback from any side or rear property lines) as <br /> stated in Section 1325.06. <br /> F. Traffic Impact Study. The City has determined that the traffic capacity <br /> of the interchange at I-35W and State Highway 96 will impose limitations <br /> on traffic generated within the GB District. In order to maintain the <br /> functional capacity of the area road system, both internal and external <br /> traffic and parking plans and traffic generation studies prepared by <br /> registered traffic engineers will be required for all project within the GB <br /> District. <br /> G. Signs. Signs will be regulated by the Arden Hills Sign Code subject to <br /> any modifications or additions contained herein.
