APPROVED BY:
CHANGES; DISTRICT MAPS; CURRENT
ORDINANCE
Over the past few months the Community Development Department has been working on revisions to the
commercial zoning ordinance. At this point staff has begun to write draffts for each commercial district As part
of this process, ordinances from cities throughout the metropolitan area have been researched. Some of the
ordinances examined include cities such as Anoka, Hastings, Oakdale, Plymouth, Richfield, Shakopee,
Stillwater, and Woodbury, ` Attached are summaries of the changes made to each commercial district along with
a table illustrating how the districts have been modified. The proposed revisions expand the scope of some
districts, further restrict or define other districts, and add some additional design. standards to all districts.
Before going ahead further staff would like Council's input, vision and direction on how to proceed with the
commercial ordinance revisions.
RECOMMENDED ACTION/ NOTES:
C -1: CONVENIENCE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT
Summary:
There are currently three C -1 sites in Rosemount (MAP 1). The purpose of the C -1 district is to provide convenience shopping to
surrounding residential neighborhoods. It is intended to serve a small market area, specifically residents within walking distance and not
to serve the entire community. Staff is proposing to expand the uses allowed in the C -1 district, thus legitimizing the existing
neighborhood businesses located in this district. The proposed changes would make Topps Pizza and a laundromat conforming uses and
would allow additional neighborhood business to move into the vacant site. Under the current ordinance the only permitted use would be
a convenience store or gas station. Table 1 illustrates the proposed changes to the ordinance. In addition to broadening the permitted
uses, conditional uses have been added to this district thus allowing the city the ability to impose additional design criteria to specific
uses. Staff is proposing to increase the minimum lot area from 15,000 sq. ft. to 20,000 sq. ft. to correct an error in setback measurements.
Currently, the ordinance has a minimum width of 150 sq. ft. and depth 125 sq. ft. Together these figures equal a lot area of 18,750 sq. ft.,
which is greater than the current standard. Landscaping, building and design standards have been added to increase the quality of
building spaces.

C -2: DOWNTOWN COMMERCIAL DISTRICT
Summary:
Rosemount's traditional downtown area along the Highway 3 and 145`x' Street corridors make up the C -2 district (MAP 2). Historically,
this district has been the commercial core of Rosemount offering diverse commercial and civic opportunities. Staff is proposing changes
that improve the quality of buildings and public spaces, enhance the appearance of downtown, and allow for wide variety of specialty
business, both commercial and institutional. The intention is to strengthen the small town character of Rosemount and also to achieve a
higher level of design quality. For example, hotels, membership organizations, museums and parks have been added as permitted uses.
Many of these promote increased civic interaction. To accommodate non -auto oriented uses, all automotive parts, retail services and
sales have been restricted, except when the parts sales are a small percentage of existing store revenue or floor space. Staff is proposing
to add a farmers market or seasonal market that could provide a way to strengthen Rosemount's commercial viability and community
interaction. Suggested design requirements include adding a 5 foot green space between parking lots and sidewalks, a concrete sidewalk
along all streets, and exterior design standards to buildings.

C -3: HIGHWAY SERVICE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT
Summary:
The C -3 district consists of individual parcels distributed along Highway 3 (MAP 3). The purpose of this district is to provide areas for businesses
that rely on a large amount of outdoor storage or passing motorists. In the past, Rosemount has used this district as away to legitimize existing uses.
The ordinance revision process has provided an opportunity to examine this district. There is very little of C -3 mapped and there is no vacant land to
map additional C -3 commercial uses. Options for this district are to leave the mapped C -3 as is, or to expand the district Staff is proposing to
expand the uses in this district to provided for a greater variety of commercial businesses.

C -4 GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT
Summary:
The C -4 District is located south of Highway 42 and west of Highway 3 (MAP 4). The purpose of this district is to accommodate a broad
range of retail goods and services for the entire community. This is a general district, which has the most inclusive list of permitted and
conditional uses of any commercial district. The main change staff is proposing is to tighten standards. Higher architectural and
landscape standards would work to increase the quality of buildings and spaces. Newer commercial development is found along the
County 42 corridor. Increased building standards, and design elements such as sidewalks and decorative lighting could be used to tie this
area into the traditional downtown. Additional landscaping requirements would further enhance the quality of commercial development
and could also work to screen conflicting uses.
