_____________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for April 5, 2017 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2017\PC 17-008 - Lexington Station - Master PUD Amendment and Final PUD Phase 2\Memos_Reports_17-008 Page 9 of 17 For the purpose of this review, staff calculated the parking requirement assuming all building space within the development would be used for retail uses. To develop a more conservative estimate, staff did not subtract any gross square footage for non-retail sales floor space (e.g. storage space, offices). Based on the total area of 65,313 square feet, 436 parking stalls would be needed. The plans indicate a total of 413 stalls. Staff also looked specifically at the number of parking stalls provided for Phases 1 and 2. At the completion of Phase 2, a total of 230 stalls would be in place. Using the same calculation that was used for the overall site, 216 stalls would be needed based on the total building areas of 32,262 square feet.

As a condition of approval for Phase 2, Roberts Management will be required to provide the City with a copy of the agreement that provides for shared parking between Phase 1 and Phase 2. 2. Design Standards – Section 1325.05 Subd. 8 The Phase 2 building was evaluated based on the additional design standards for the B-3 District included in the Zoning Code. While Phase 3 of the development will also have to meet these design standards, only Phase 2 is currently under review for Final PUD approval. Building Materials – Flexibility Requested The Zoning Code requires that at least 75 percent of the exterior building materials must be of brick or tile masonry, stone, decorative concrete plank, or transparent glass. Permitted trim materials include metal, wood, EIFS, and stucco. The east, north, and south façades of the Phase 2 building would be comprised of primarily brick masonry and transparent glass. The west façade would be constructed of rock face concrete masonry units (CMU). The building would 34 percent brick masonry, 23 percent glass, and 6 percent stone, for a total of 63 percent. Rock face CMU would comprise 32 percent of the total façade area.
