. corridor. A master development plan is required for any new development within the district and all property within the development must be under unified ownership or control. St. Louis Park utilizes a unique approach to zoning. The extent to which performance standards apply to any particular development is determined, in most cases, by how intensely the property is used. First, a Land Use Intensity Class rating is assigned to the proposed use based upon several factors such as the development's density, floor area ratio, building height, density, expected traffic generation, building area, and hours of operation. Following is a chart illustrating how a property's Land Use Intensity Class is calculated in St. Louis Park: e Use Density Max. Max Max Max. Gross Hours of Resultant (Units Impervious FAR Ht.

The difference between the Land Use Intensity Classes of two adjacent parcels detennines the amount of screeninglbuffering that is required between them. A Class 6 business that would like to locate adjacent to a Class 1 residence would be required to provide a Class E Bufferyard while a Class 5 business at the same location would only be required to provide a Class D Bufferyard. Land Use Intensity Class ratings can also be used by communities in establishing what uses to allow as either permitted or conditional uses in any particular zoning district. Developments in the City of Maple Grove's Freeway Frontage District, require the submittal and approval of a site plan for any lot measuring 5 acres or more. This includes a review of the proposed land use for compatibility with adjacent and nearby property. A landscape plan must also be submitted and approved. The plan must address buffering between non-residential and residential uses and screening ,of loading docks. . Roseville Shopping Center District Study Phase I Report Page ] 7
