RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the
following two motions:
Motion to recommend the City Council adopt a resolution approving a Planned Unit
Development (PUD) Master Development Plan with Rezoning and PUD Final Site and
Building Plan Applications for the City of Rosemount to allow replacement of the
existing dynamic sign at the Rosemount Community Center.
Motion to recommend the City Council adopt an ordinance rezoning the subject
property from P/I, Public Institutional to P/I PUD — Public Institutional Planned Unit
Development.
SUMMARY
Applicant&Property Owner(s): City of Rosemount Parks and Recreation Department
Location: 13885 South Robert Trail
Area in Acres: 13 Acres
Comp. Guide Plan Desig: P/I—Public and Institutional
Current Zoning: P/I—Public and Institutional
The applicant, the City of Rosemount Parks and Recreation Department,requests a Planned Unit
Development (PUD) Master Development Plan with rezoning and final site and building plan
application to allow replacement of the existing dynamic (electronic) pylon sign at the Rosemount
Community Center (13885 South Robert Trail). Should the City approve the request, the applicant
plans to replace the existing 98 square foot dynamic pylon sign with a new 182 square foot dynamic
ground sign. Industry wide,improvements in technology and more competitive prices have made
replacement of existing dynamic sign more cost effective. Providing wayfinding information to the
building as well as announcements,bulletins and messages for the community and the wide variety
of events that occur on site is central to the operation of this facility. Staff recommends approval of
this request.
BACKGROUND
The Rosemount Community Center was constructed in 1993-94 as a joint project between the City
and the Minnesota National Guard. The permit for the existing dynamic pylon sign (see attached
graphic) was approved in January 1998. The existing sign is 16' 10 1/4" high with a 7'by 14' (98
square foot) sign face. The electronic portion of the existing sign stopped functioning in 2009.
The 140,000 square foot building sits on a 13 acre site and contains offices for the Parks and
Recreation Department,ice arena,banquet facilities, classroom space and the National Guard. The
Armory portion of the building serves as the headquarters and main command post for the 34`h
Infantry Division of the Army National Guard, also known as the "Red Bulls." The community
center portion of the building contains an auditorium,banquet hall,gymnasium,ice arena and
several meeting rooms. Over the years the facility has hosted a wide variety of events including
tournaments, trade and retail shows, community and family celebrations, seminars, business and
public meetings, and countless weddings receptions.
Details of the proposed dynamic ground sign are provided in the attached plan set. The proposed
sign will be the same height (16' 10 1/4") and width (14' 3") as the existing sign but includes a larger
sign area. The sign face will include up to three sign panels totaling 182 square feet. The top panel
will be a 61 square foot internally illuminated cabinet identifying the Rosemount Community Center.
The middle panel will be a 78 square foot full color LED electronic reader board. The bottom panel
will be a 43 square foot internally illuminated cabinet which may identify the National Guard Training
Center. The proposed sign will be setback 11 feet from the site's eastern property line along South
Robert Trail and have a masonry base made of natural stone similar to those used for the City's entry
signs and at Fire Station 2.
Planned Unit Development (PUD) Master Development Plan &
Final Site and Building Plan
The purpose of a planned unit development is to allow flexibility from the City's traditional
development standards in return for a higher quality project. In this case, a PUD is necessary to
allow replacement of the Community Center's existing dynamic pylon sign. This facility is a unique
site with multiple tenants and entrances serving numerous activities and customers. As such, staff
recommends developing a separate sign plan as allowed under Section 11-8-4.C.15 of the Sign
Ordinance (PUD Sign Plans). The application of a PUD for the property is similar to what the City
recommended and approved at DCTC. The current sign ordinance does not have the flexibility to
recognize significant community developments which require additional signage and posting of
information for the public. A PUD allows flexibility without altering the entire zoning performance
standards which would impact all properties in the zoning category regardless of size or use.
Master Development Plan and Rezoning
All applications for a planned unit development (PUD) must include both a master development
plan with rezoning and final site and building plan. The Planning Commission and City Council
shall base their recommendations and actions regarding a PUD application on consideration of the
items listed below. The Planning Commission and City Council may attach such conditions to their
actions as they determine necessary or convenient to better accomplish the purposes of the PUD.
2
1. Compatibility of the proposed plan with PUD ordinance and the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Finding: Development of a PUD sign plan is consistent with both the PUD ordinance and the
goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. As mentioned above, Section 11-8-4.C.15 of the
Sign Ordinance (PUD Sign Plans) specifically outlines the use of a PUD to establish an overall
sign plan for larger and unique sites. In addition, the Community Facilities section of the
Comprehensive Plan includes the goals of"Providing community facilities for all age groups"
and "Providing municipal services that meet the needs of our growing population."
2. Effect of the proposed plan on the neighborhood in which it is to be located.
Finding: With the exception of the deviations noted below, the proposed sign will be required
to meet all other standards of the Sign Ordinance and should not have a negative impact on the
surrounding neighborhood.
3. Internal organization and adequacy of various uses or densities, circulation and parking facilities,
public facilities,recreation areas, open spaces, screening and landscaping.
Finding: One goal of this sign plan is to consolidate signage into a location that will be most
effective. This will result in improved messaging, organization, traffic circulation and way-
finding at the facility.
4. Consistency with the standards of section 11-10-3 of this chapter pertaining to site and building
plan review.
Finding: The proposed sign plan meets or exceeds many of the standards of section 11-10-3
(Site and Building Design Review). A detailed review of each of the applicable items can be
found in the Final Site and Building Plan review below.
All PUD master development plan applications must include a rezoning to a specific PUD district.
The Rosemount Community Center is located in the P/I—Public and Institutional district. Based
on the proposed project and the existing P/I—Public and Institutional zoning and land use
designation, the subject property should be rezoned to PI/PUD—Public and Institutional district
PUD.
Final Site and Building Plan
According to Section 11-10-6, the purpose of the final site and building plan review is to insure
compliance with the applicable sections of the City Code. Based on the review of these criteria
provided below, staff finds the final site and building plan in compliance the applicable standards of
the Sign Ordinance, subject to deviations allowed through the PUD.
With a few exceptions, the proposed ground sign complies with the City's standards for dynamic signs
in the Public and Institutional district (see table below). The proposed sign meets the location,height,
text size, display mode, display number and minimum display time standards. The proposed sign does
not comply with the total size and dynamic display size standards. In exchange for deviations from
the total size and dynamic display size standards, the applicant proposes a higher quality project
through an increased setback as well as a more substantial and decorative sign base. The new sign is
more consistent with the design elements found in the sign ordinance relating to shape (monument
versus pylon) and materials.

The sign ordinance requires a minimum 10 foot setback for ground signs in the P/I district and the
proposed sign will be located 11 feet from the eastern property line along South Robert Trail. In
addition, there is approximately 35' of right-of-way for South Robert Trail in front of the proposed
sign making the total perceived setback 46' feet from the street surface or almost three times the
height of the proposed sign.
The sign ordinance requires ground signs to have a masonry base equal to at least 50% of the sign
face. The proposed sign incorporates a natural stone base; 145% of the sign face or nearly three times
that required by the ordinance. This more extensive and ornamental base will be similar to those used
for the City's entry signs and at Fire Station 2.
CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) Master Development Plan with
Rezoning and the PUD Final Site and Building Plan applications to allow replacement of the existing
dynamic (electronic) pylon sign at the Rosemount Community Center (13885 South Robert Trail).
The replacement sign would meet or exceed the City standards for dynamic ground signs with the
exception of the total size and dynamic display size standards. In exchange for deviations from the
total size and dynamic display size standards, the applicant proposes a higher quality project through
an increased setback and a more substantial and decorative sign base. The City has approved similar
PUD sign plans for other location including the Celtic Crossings shopping center and Dakota County
Technical College. This recommendation is based on the plan submitted by the applicant and the
findings made in this report. The rezoning does not alter or affect the present development on the site
in terms of the buildings and activities conducted.
