City of Arden Hills Chapter 13 Zoning Code <br /> 2. Special landscape enhancement of views from I-694 and I-35W will be <br /> required. <br /> D. Building Exteriors. The appearance of buildings is the most important <br /> component in land development. Accomplishing the stated purpose of the GB <br /> District requires particular concern for building design. <br /> 1. The arrangement, geometry and massing of individual buildings shall <br /> be responsive to the arrangement, geometry and massing of the whole of <br /> 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 handling <br /> devices shall be screened from adjacent building and off-site visibility. <br /> 5. A "campus" plan arrangement is hereby encouraged and a "signature" <br /> building is considered desirable. <br /> E. Parking. Parking requirements contained in Section 1325.06 shall apply. <br /> However, these requirements may be adjusted by the City in the project <br /> review process if the changes will more effectively accomplish the stated <br /> 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. Since <br /> the intent of this parking setback is to provide visual separation for large scale <br /> developments service stations with retail sales and services and with a car <br /> wash shall be exempt for this particular requirement and instead shall be <br /> required to meet the general parking setback requirements (a twenty (20) foot <br /> parking setback from any public street or right-of-way and a five (5) foot <br /> parking setback from any side or rear property lines) as stated in Section <br /> 1325.06. <br /> F. Traffic Impact Study. The City has determined that the traffic capacity of <br /> the interchange at I-35W and State Highway 96 will impose limitations on <br /> traffic generated within the GB District. In order to maintain the functional <br /> capacity of the area road system,both internal and external traffic and parking <br /> plans and traffic generation studies prepared by registered traffic engineers <br /> will be required for all project within the GB District. <br /> • <br /> Section 1320—District Provisions <br /> Adopted:November 13,2006 <br /> Page 29 of 37 <br />
