Staff proposed revising the front yard setback <br />requirement from 20 feet to 50 feet. Staff also recommended removing the requirement that at least <br />50 percent of the largest building on each site be constructed at the front setback line of 20 feet. <br />Council and staff agreed on removing the City code language below (Attachment A) and revising <br />the front yard building setback to 50 feet (Attachment B). <br /> <br />The following language is proposed to removed: <br />• 1325.05 Design Standards, Subd. 8, (F) (B): <br />o Twenty percent (20%) of all other first level building facades that are reasonably <br />visible from the public right of way shall be comprised of window or door openings. <br />Simulated or opaque windows may be used on service areas. <br />• 1325.05, Subd. 8, M. Parking (1) (2): <br />o Placing parking between the street right-of-way and a building shall be <br />discouraged. <br />o No more than 50 percent of the parking on a site may be between buildings or in <br />the side yards. <br /> <br />However, the Council did have additional concerns about building façade requirements. At its <br />August 12, 2019 and June 8, 2020 work sessions, the City Council and staff continued discussing <br />the façade transparency requirements on mechanical and storage areas in the B-2 and B-3 Districts.
