L
On November 9, 1993 the Planning Commission recommended approval of
the attached zoning ordinance text amendment to include Business
Park District in Ordinance B - City of Rosemount Zoning Ordinance.
This ordinance replaces the current Industrial Park (IP) District
with a newly created Business Park (BP) District. The Planning
Commission also recommended the scheduling of the public hearing.
The proposed Business Park District encompasses a much larger list
of permitted uses than the current Industrial Park District. This
larger area has been broken down into four "overlay" districts that
respond to the variety of characteristics found across the total
area designated Business Park. This "overlay" method provides the
flexibility requested by members of the Port Authority at a Special
Planning Commission Workshop held in October.
The list of permitted uses is distributed throughout the overlay
districts with intentional overlap for flexibility, but performance
standards are based upon existing Commercial and Industrial Park
standards that result from access or exposure to arterial streets,
location, and contiguous land uses.
Recommended Action: MOTION to adopt Ordinance B-34 AN ORDINANCE
AMENDING ORDINANCE B - CITY OF ROSEMOUNT ZONING ORDINANCE
providing for the addition of a Business Park District with
associated definitions and minimum development standards.

4A. BusINEss PARK TExr AMENDMENT DISCUSSION CONTINUED
On October 12, 1993, the Planning Commission reviewed the concept of the Business Park
."overlay zones" thus providing Planning Staff with direction needed to assemble Zoning Text
Amendments.
Among the concerns discussed at the meeting was a need to further define and regulate
manufacturing with the intent of ensuring that the negative aspects of typically general
industrial uses would not impact the Business Park.
The current Industrial Park District (IP) which is to be replaced by the Business Park permits
custom manufacturing, manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, processing, packaging,
assembly, compounding and accessory uses.
As stated in the Purpose and Intent section:
"This district is intended to accommodate new, modern, high performance, light
industrial uses which are planned as a unit and include an internal circulation
system. Tills district is located within the MUSA and is intended to be served by
the public utility systems. Uses shall be conducted completely within structures
(excepted as provided for herein). "
The Zoning Ordinance defines custom manufacturing as "The production and sale on the
premises of hand manufactured products involving only the use of hand tools and domestic
mechanical equipment. "
The ordinance suggests a distinction between "light industrial uses" as referred to above and
"heavier industries which require large sites -and outdoor storage" as permitted in the General
Industrial District. There is no definition of either light industrial uses, or heavier industries
in the ordinance.
The City of Woodbury City Code has definitions which may be useful:
MANUFACTURING. GENERAL - means all manufacture, compounding, processing, packaging,
treatment, or assembly of products and materials that may emit objectionable and offensive
influences beyond the lot on which the use is located. Such uses include but are not limited

generate offensive odors, glare, smoke, dust, noise, vibrations or other objectionable
influences that extend beyond the lot on which the use is located. Generally, these are
industries dependent upon raw materials refined elsewhere. Such uses include, but are not
limited to, lumber yards, machine shops, products assembly, sheet metal shops, plastics,
electronics, general nonalcoholic beverages, signs and displays, printing, publishing, fabricated
metal parts, appliances, clothing, textiles, and used auto parts.

Rosemount, MN 55068
Dear Mayor McMenomy:
Muller Family Theatres has requested that our firm, Dahlgren, Shardlow, and Uban, Inc., a
co ti� planning and landscape architecture firm, review the first phase development concept for
th Busutesa Park urrently owned by the Rosemount Port Authority. At the onset of
our review, it was our understanding that the current Industrial Park District is to be replaced by the
Business Park District, therefore, our review is based on the zoning classification of the Business
Park District for the above mentioned property. In order to establish background for our review, it
was important for us to first visit the language that makes the intent of this District clear. The
Business Park District's purpose and intent definition states that:
"This district is intended to accommodate new, modem, high performance, limited industrial
uses and accessory retail and service uses. Overlay zones with locational criteria will also
allow entertainment and service oriented commercial uses, office/showroom and other
uses with high performance standards that will provide a transition to residential uses."
One such overlay zone, as mentioned within the Purpose and Intent Section is the Business Park - 2
Overlay Zone. This district states:
"This zone permits destination, entertainment or service related commercial, office or
planned industrial uses including all uses allowed in the Business Park - Overlay Zone. The
zone is adjacent to General Commercial uses or has proximity to major or minor arterial
streets. No outdoor storage is allowed."
Given the purpose and intent of this type of a business park and of the overlay district, the proposed
theater is an appropriate permitted use within this zone.
Our research has, however, extended beyond the determination of whether or not a theater is simply
a permitted and appropriate use within the Business Park District. We have also conducted research
into similar multi -use type business parks that contain movie theaters as a permitted use, in order to
investigate the wisdom and practical first-hand experience of such developments. A number of such
developments do exist throughout the metropolitan area.
Mayor McMenomy 6 December 1993 Page 2
Of the the many theaters that exist in a multi -use type development, three such developments were
selected for our research. These are all very similar in concept to the development proposed for the
Rosemount Business Park. The three we would like to review include Shelard Park Development,
Centennial Lakes Development, and Maple Grove Business Development.
First, Shelard Park Cinemas 5, which is part of the Shelard Park Development, is located in St.
Louis Park and is in an area zoned as C-2 General Commercial. Upon reviewing the purpose of this
ordinance, its intent states it is "to provide space for community facilities and institutions that
appropriately may be located in commercial areas; to provide adequate space to meet the needs of
modern commercial development". Some examples of permitted uses within this district include, but
are not limited to, medical and dental offices, business and trade schools, service facilities,
transition stations, appliance and small engine repair and private entertainment.
Shelard Park developed in about 1969 and made use of a master plan concept to guide their
development. The Shelard Park Cinemas were approved and added as a feature to Shelard Park in
the mid 1970's. The business park today includes four total office buildings ranging from six to
nineteen stories, six different housing projects, a hotel, fitness club and the theater complex. In a
conversation with a city planner for the City of St. Louis Park, the uses work well together in a
number of key ways. This includes the shared parking that many of the businesses have. For
example, the office and business peak hours are very different from that of the theaters and nearby
restaurants, which helps to extend the hours that the business development is used on a daily basis
and to take advantage of shared parking. A second theater, the Willow Creek Theater, was
constructed north of the Shelard Park development a short time ago, and also enjoys much success.
The second such theater positioned in a business park is the Centennial Lakes Cinemas 8 which is
part of the Centennial Lakes development. The Centennial Lakes development is located in Edina
and is zoned Mixed Development District 6. The types of permitted uses within the Mixed
Development District 6 include buildings not containing fewer than ten dwelling units, publicly
owned or operated civic or cultural institutions, offices including business and professional offices,
hotels, and all principal uses in their PCD -1 and PCD -2 subdistricts (with a few exceptions). The
PCD -1 and PCD -2 includes an additional 90 -plus uses, including recreation establishments, service,
retail and office uses, and movie theaters. The overall concept of the Centennial Lakes development
is clearly for a spectrum of mixed uses. Based on a telephone conversation with a planner from the
City of Edina, the uses that are in existence have worked very well together. Centennial Lakes
began development in 1989 with Phase I. Phase I included office and medical, retail, housing and
the Centennial Lake Cinemas. The cinema was an integral part of the formula and was strategically
placed toward the front of the development on a major roadway (it fronts France Avenue).
The visibility of the theater helps perform a critical element of commerce generation for the
Centennial Lakes development. The Centennial Lakes Cinemas also use the concept of shared
parking with the complimentary uses adjacent to it. It was also reported by the same city planner,
that while the Yorktown Theaters are less than a half mile away, this was not an issue at the time of
the development of Centennial Lakes Cinemas and that the City has not received negative comments
regarding the proximity of the two theaters.
The third and final theater and multi -use development researched was the Maple Grove Cinema 8,
which is part of a business development. The development is located within the City of Maple
Grove and it in an area zoned as a Business District. This district is, as stated within the Maple
Grove Ordinance Code, "to permit retail sales and personal service business". While this is a fairly
broad statement, some of the existing uses include medical and dental clinics, a 102,000 square -foot
super market, financial institutions, business offices, an auto. service garage, and a newly
constructed real estate office, which is adjacent to the theaters. The theaters located in this multi -use
business district front a major roadway (Interstate 94) indicating that their visibility is also seen as a
Mayor McMenomy 6 December 1993 Page 3
business district front a major roadway (Interstate 94) indicating that their visibility is also seen as a
key to generating activity and commerce into the business park, hence, contributing greatly to its
viability and overall success. Demonstrative of the success of the theater itself, is the 1993 addition
of two more screens to the existing eight.
Through our research, we have reviewed a number of multi -use developments that include movie
theaters as a key component. Our research and experience provides documentation that the theater is
a compatible use within the Business Park District. The location of theaters in multi -use business
parks is important in their ability to provide the visibility needed for the entire business park. They
are traditionally located toward a collector street and serve as a landmark for the business parks,
which generate traffic. They also make efficient use of the land by their ability to share parking with
complementary noncompeting uses. Excellent examples of this include the Centennial Lakes
Development, Shelard Park, and the Maple Grove Business District Development. A map is
enclosed which locates the previously discussed theaters, as well as some others that are part of
multi -use developments.
Adhering to the purpose and intent of the Business Park District zone for the Rosemount Business
Park will result in a full range of services which will serve to draw traffic, people and additional
businesses. With the right mix of business and good planning, the effect can be more than
co -existence. The development of the business park will serve as a positive influence to the City of
Rosemount and will:
■ provide the stepping stone to a thriving business park with complementary uses that
makes effective use of the land and,
■ provide visibility and site identification necessary to help the site be identified as a
regional location which will in turn help to attract many other businesses and,
■ draw people and additional businesses to Rosemount.
Rosemount is putting into place today a good strategy by incorporating the theater in phase one of
the development.
Sincerely,
DAHLGREN, SHARDLOW, AND UBAN, INC.

Re: ygpsits Prk/Iovie Theatre Project
Dear Mayor McMenomy:
Muller Family Theatres is pleased to support the Planning Commission of the City of Rosemount
and the Rosemount Port Authority in their requests for a text change to the Rosemount zoning
code for the purposes of establishing the Business Park zoning classification in the City of
Rosemount.
Since August 3, 1993, when the Port Authority chose us as the developer for the movie theatre
complex to be located within the first phase and as the first developer within the City's Business
Park, we have been working closely with the Port Authority, and the Planning Department staff,
have prepared development documents, negotiated the terms of the purchase agreement of the
property and anticipated a marketing strategy for the theatre project and the Business Park, all
in anticipation of the approval by the City Council of the Business Park zoning.
We have anticipated this change in the context of challenge from our movie theatre competitor,
GTI, who is apparently proceeding to construct another movie theatre in your City. With regard
to this competitive environment, the City stated its desire to maintain a "level playing field".
Whether the City has maintained the level playing field that it had desired to create it remains
to be seen whether or not the City's attempt not to favor one developer over another has
succeeded.
In anticipation of the public hearing in connection with the approval of the text amendment
change, we would like you to consider certain information which we feel is relevant.
The Honorable Edward B. McMenomy
December 7, 1993
Page Two
First, we believe that the City's vote tonight is a confirmation of a process which was begun
over one year ago and most recently on August 3, 1993 when the Port Authority requested and
the Council approved the acquisition of the Abbott property which is now the Business Park
property.
Approximately one month ago, after issuing the general obligation bonds necessary to acquire
the Abbott property, the Port Authority closed on the property and now owns this property.
Well in advance of the Abbott acquisition, the City approved the designation of this land under
the comprehensive guide plan which was recently reaffirmed and ratified and amended last
month on November 8, 1993 by the City Council.
Your planning commission considered all of the options available to it, including the issue of the
desirability or appropriateness of the inclusion of a movie theatre in the uses permitted by right
and determined that such a use was compatible and, in fact, encouraged.
To support this position, we retained the services of Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban to study the
question of the desirability of inclusion of the theatre within the Business Park and to identify
complexes within other municipalities. I have attached a copy of that letter which is addressed
to you.
In numerous communications and appearances before the Port Authority, we have ratified our
intention to construct the movie theatre on our designated parcel within the Business Park. We
once again emphasize to you that it is our intention to build this theatre complex even if our
competitor proceeds as well.
We have contacted our lender, First American Bank, who has indicated to us that they are ready
to proceed to a closing and that they are willing to fund our project even if there is another
theatre located within the City of Rosemount, as is currently anticipated.
The only thing which stands in the way of the development of our theatre would be a no vote
rejecting the text amendment change. This change breaths life into the Business Park. We have
relied upon what we had anticipated to be the certainty of the creation of this Business Park.
It is in all respects consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan, the actions of the City
Council, the actions of the Rosemount Port Authority and the actions of the Rosemount Planning
Commission. We have invested a considerable amount of time, effort and monetary resources
in this project from the day the City and City officials asked us to consider Rosemount as the
site of our next theatre.
The Honorable Edward B. McMenomy
December 7, 1993
Page Three
In addition, we also want you to know that this site and the Rosemount Business Park are unique
sites for the Theatre. A denial of the text amendment will essentially preclude us from
competing within this trade area. Truly, while we wish that we would be able to service
Rosemount without the challenges imposed upon us by our competitor, quite frankly we look
forward to this competition. It is somewhat ironic perhaps that our competitors, until several
weeks ago, would have been standing astride us requesting the adoption of this Business Park
text amendment change. It is only because of the City's affirmative vote removing the
competitor's property from the Business Park that they too are not here arguing the case of the
text amendment change. The City's personal efforts to maintain a level playing field will rest
in your decision for now.
We hope that the City Council makes the right vote this evening. That vote is to affirm and
ratify a decision which it had put in place many months ago. We respectfully request affirmative
vote to support the zoning text change and create the Business Park designation for the
betterment of Rosemount and for the commerce it will create for the citizens and taxpayers of
Rosemount.
We look forward to serving this community in fine tradition as we have other communities.
Sincerely yours,

Re: 'Budims Park/MSvie Theatre Project
Dear Mr. Miller and Chairman Dunn:
VIA - MESSENGER
We understand that there is an agenda item for the Rosemount Port Authority meeting scheduled
for December 7. We would like to have you consider during the discussion certain things that
we think are important to discuss as this time.
First, we would like to have you discuss the timing on the closing of the property. Since last
spring when we contacted you and you invited us to consider Rosemount as the site of a new
theatre complex, we have been waiting for the Port Authority and the City to select and make
ready the property you agreed to sell to us which would anchor the Business Park and provide
us a site to build our movie theatre. We understand through Dave Simons that the ten acre
parcel purchasing from the Port Authority will be known as Lot 1, Block 1, Rosemount Business
Park. The evening of December 7, 1993, we anticipate that the City Council will approve the
preliminary plat for the Business Park and with that we should get a legal description of the
property. Our attorney, Dan Tyson, and your attorney, Mike Miles, have negotiated the
majority of the provisions of a purchase agreement and we would like to have discussion on
when the signing could occur. In fact, we would like to have the purchase agreement completely
negotiated, approved and signed at the next Port Authority meeting.
Mr. John Miller
Mr. Ed Dunn
December 7, 1993
Page Two
Second, we would like to work very closely with your marketing committee to develop a plan
to market the Business Park and, of course, the theatre. We have worked with and helped other
municipalities in joint marketing efforts and look forward to working with you in that regard.
Third, I would like for the Port Authority to discuss and to identify which of your members will
be a spokesperson for the Port Authority at the City Council meeting tonight when the text
amendment vote is taken with regard to the Business Park text amendment. We think that the
Port Authority is the party with the greatest amount of interest in seeing that the Business Park
zoning text amendment passes. To that end, we encourage you by a Port Authority resolution,
to support the passage of the text amendment change.
It is our hope that the Port Authority address the last point. As we have stated time and time
again, we are very pleased to have been chosen as your developer for this movie theatre
complex. We know how important passage of this text amendment is to you as its director and
chairperson, respectively. You also know how extremely important it is to us. Without this text
amendment change, there will be no Business Park. Without the Business Park, your promise
to us as your developer cannot be fulfilled. We will stand by and support the Port Authority's
resolution of support of the text change, as now before the Council, as your developer and also
as the first developer in the Business Park.
You should also know, as we have said before, that we intend to build a movie theatre in
Rosemount. We intend to take all steps necessary to make that happen. We are not concerned
that GTI is also apparently on the same track for development. We believe that our product,
our management, and our commitment to the community will serve Rosemount well. Our
company and our lender are firmly behind us in our goal to operate a theatre in Rosemount.
The movie theatre industry is a competitive environment and we are very successful competitors.
As always, we look forward to working with you in this project.
Sincerely yours,

ROSEMOUNT PORT AUTHORITY COMMISSION
Business Park Promotional Subcommittee
3rd Meeting - November 29, 1993
The third meeting of the Business Park Promotional Subcommittee was
called to order at approximately 2:05 p.m. on November 29, 1993 at
the Rosemount City Hall. Economic Development Coordinator John
Miller and Subcommittee members Ed Dunn, Joan Anderson and Kevin
Carroll were present.
1. Interns
Joan Anderson reported on her progress in obtaining information
regarding the possibility of obtaining assistance from education
institutions. Dakota County Technical College may be able to help
in two ways. First, Mr. Tom Trutna, who is involved with the Small
Business Development Center at the College, agreed to send us a
packet of information regarding the Center's activities, and he may
be able to refer businesses to us that are interested in locating
in Rosemount. Second, the College has a faculty member who has
experience that may be useful to us. Ms. Joanne Simmons is a
business marketing instructor at the College, but in the past she
has apparently served as a consultant for private businesses with
respect to promotional and marketing activities. Joan agreed to
contact her in order to determine whether she would be interested
in meeting with the Subcommittee, possibly after the Port Authority
meeting that is currently scheduled for Tuesday, December 7, 1993.
Joan Anderson also reported that the University of St. Thomas has
internship programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Students in the undergraduate internship programs must apparently
complete up to eighty hours of work during their internship, and
the internship would not result in any expense to the City, other
than whatever time Mr. Miller would have to devote to supervising
or directing the intern's work. The next internship period would
begin in January, and December 3, 1993 may be the City's deadline
for contacting the school to express an interest in becoming
involved in the internship program. Mr. Miller agreed to contact
the school to obtain more information about the program and, if
necessary, to prepare and submit whatever information the school
may require regarding the work that the intern could or would be
doing for the City.
Finally, Joan Anderson indicated a willingness to obtain
information from other education institutions, including Rasmussen
Business College, Inver Hills Community College, or Carlson School
of Management, but the Subcommittee agreed that the possibilities
referred to in the preceding paragraphs should be pursued before
we begin working with any additional schools.
2. 1994 Commercial Real Estate Exhibition
Kevin Carroll conveyed the information that he had obtained
regarding the Fourth Annual Twin Cities Commercial Real Estate
Exhibition. It will be held at the Minneapolis Convention Center
on Wednesday, April 13, 1994, from 3:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. It is
sponsored by the Commercial/ Industrial Division of the Minneapolis
Association of Realtors. The Exhibitors at last year's Exhibition
included the following municipalities: Anoka, Burnsville, Chaska,
Cottage Grove, Farmington, Hopkins, Maple Grove, New Brighton,
Oakdale and Woodbury, along with the St. Paul Port Authority and
various privately -owned business parks.
The City of Rosemount could get an 81x10' booth at the Exhibition
for $325.00 if arrangements are made

whether to become involved
Joan Anderson also mentioned that her business had a booth or some
display material that the City could use at the Exhibition, and it
was also mentioned that we could possibly use items from the
Exhibit that the City has used at the Annual Dakota County Expo at
the Technical College.
3. Professional Consultants/Realtors
Kevin Carroll conveyed the information that he had obtained
regarding the availability of mailing lists, which could possibly
be obtained and used when the Subcommittee or the Port Authority
is ready to begin distributing written promotional material
regarding the business park. The Minneapolis Association of
Realtors has 4700 members on its mailing list, and the cost would
be $275.00 plus tax. That organization has a subdivision known as
the Organization of Commercial Realtors (OCR), which has
approximately 500 members on its mailing list. That list could be
obtained for $100.00 plus tax. The lists can be organized
alphabetically or by zip code.
The St. Paul area Association of Realtors has a subdivision known
as the "CIMLS" (Commerical/Industrial MLS). There are about 100
members on this mailing list, and the cost would be $30.00 plus
tax. Next to Minneapolis and St. Paul, the next largest groups of
realtors are apparently the Anoka County and Dakota County
organizations, and Kevin agreed to obtain information regarding the
cost and availability of mailing lists from those organizations.
4. Economic Development Coordinator's Report
Mr. Miller provided the Subcommittee with a report on the Sensible
Land Use Coalition meeting that he at Among other things,
the speakers were apparently in agreement that private developers
are no longer interested in initiating large-scale business park
projects, and that municipalities have therefore taken the lead in
initiating and pursuing such projects.
Mr. Miller also provided the Subcommittee members with copies of
brochures that have been prepared and distributed to promote the
Park Ridge Business Park in Champlin and the Cannon Falls
Industrial Park. Mr. Miller pointed out that the Cannon Falls
publication was jointly funded by Contel, Dakota Electric
Association, Northern States Power and Peoples Natural Gas.
LaDonna Riste at Peoples Natural Gas has indicated to Mr. Miller
that their company would consider contributing to a similar
publication regarding the Rosemount Business Park. Mr. Miller
agreed to make preliminary contacts with Dakota Electric, NSP,
Koch, USPCI or other organizations to determine their interest in
making similar contributions. Ed Dunn agreed to contact the Cannon
Falls Chamber of Commerce and/or the Cannon Falls EDA in order to
obtain more information regarding their business park promotional
activities.
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 3:10 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Kevin Carroll
