2. In 1922, all property on Manomin south of King was zoned "A" Residence along with
the entire neighborhood east of Manomin. Existing multi-family buildings within
this area became_ legal nonconforming uses. This was done to ensure that new
buildings would be in harmony with the prevailing single-family/duplex land use in
the area. This philosophy was continued in 1975, when all property on Manomin
south of Page was zoned R-4 One-Family Residential along with the neighborhood to
the east. Property on Manomin north of Page was zoned RT-1 Two-Family Residential .
There are no changing conditions in the area or mistakes in the existing zoning
which warrant the proposed rezoning to RM-2.
3. The proposed rezoning of this single lot from R-4 to RM-2 would be spot zoning.
The zoning of all of the property surrounding the lot is single-f amily residential
and land use is single-family and duplex residential . The proposed zoning change
would be merely to relieve a single lot of restrictions applying generally in the
area as a whole, and would not be beneficial to the surrounding community.
4. The proposed rezoning is not in accordance with the St. Paul Comprehensive Plan.
The District 3 and Land Use portions of the Comprehensive Plan recommend mixed use
comnercial/residential clusters (with higher density residential ) along Smith, and
low density residential on property fronting on Manomin. The Smith Avenue Task
Force Report makes specific recomnendations for changes in the mix of comnercial
and residential uses along Smith, based on stated goals and objectives for the
Avenue, and recomnends no changes in the zoning along Manomin.
5. This 7500 sq. ft. lot is too small for an apartment building. There is no room for
off-street parking. For this reason, the Zoning Code requires a minimum lot area
of 10,000 sq. ft. for multiple-family dwellings. If this lot were zoned RT-2, RM-
1, or RM-2, a lot area variance of 2500 sq. ft. would be needed in order to
construct a new apartment building.
6. In 1975, when areas zoned "A" Residence were rezoned to eather R-4 One-Family
Residential or RT-1 Two-Family Residential , areas where 80� or more of the
structures were single-f amily generally were zoned R-4. As a rule of thumb, areas
where 20q or more of the structures contained two or more units were zoned RT-1.
The four unit apartment on the northwest corner of Manomin and Sidney represents
25% of the structures in the R-4 zone on the block. The block is adjacent to the
RT-1 zone north of Page.
7. The 7500 sq. ft. lot at 735 Manomin is large enough for a duplex. The property
meets the Duplex Conversion Guidelines for rezonings to RT-1: a lot size of at
least 6000 sq. ft. with a frontage of at least 50 ft., and a location in a mixed
density or mixed use neighborhood rather than a homogeneous single-f amily area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Based on findings 1 through 7 above, staff recommends against the proposed rezoning
from R-4 to RM-2. Instead, staff recommends rezoning the R-4 zoned property on the
west side of Manomin between Page and Sidney to RT-1, in accordance with the following

MEMORANDl7M
DATE: October 4, 1984
T0: Zoning Committee
FROM: Allan Torstenson
RE: Smith Avenue 40 Acre Study Pu51ic Testimony/Rezoning of 735 Manomin from R-4 to
RM-2
BACKGROUND:
The only person to testify at the September 28, 1984 Planning Comnission public hearing
on the Smith Avenue 40 Acre Study was Dorothy Johnson, 2112 LaCrosse Avenue. Ms.
Johnson is the owner of the 4-plex at 735 Manomin. She asked that 735 Manomin, at the
northwest corner of Manomin and Sidn�y, be rezoned from R-4 to RM-2 as part of the
Smith Avenue 40 Acre Study.
PARCEL DESCRIPTION/SIZE:
Lot 10, Block 49, Banning and Oliver's Addition; 50' X 150' = 7,500 sq. ft.
EXISTING LAIVD USE:
Foiar unit apartment building
SURROUNDING LAND USE:
North: Single family residential (R-4)
East: Single f amily and duplex residential (R-4)
South: Single family residential (R-4)
West: Single f amily residential (R-4)
ZONING HISTORY:
The site was zoned "A" Residence between 1922 and 1975, under the old zoning code. "A"
Residence permitted duplexes on 60' lots; it would have permitted only a single f amily
home on this 50' lot. The site was zoned R-4 One-Family Residential under the new
zoning code in 1975.
FINDINGS:
1. The structure was built in 1917 as a four-plex, according to Division of Housing
and Building Code Enforcement records. It became a legal nonconforming use under
the City's first zoning code in 1922.

_________________________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________________
A. PURPOSE: To rezone property in accordance with the Distict 3 and Land Use
elements of the City's Comprehensive Plan and the more specific recomnendations of
the Smith Avenue Task Force Report.
B. STUDY-INITIATION: �On August 10, 1984, the Planning Corr�nission unanimously adopted
Reso ution - 8 to initiate this 40-Acre Study.
C. 40-ACRE STUDY: Minnesota Statutes Section 462.357, Subd. 5 permits St. Paul to
ame�it��ing Code without obtaining consent petitions when all of the following
conditions are met: -
1. The whole area of the city or an area of not less than 40 acres has been
surveyed.
2. The number of real estate descriptions affected by zoning changes and
alteration renders the obtaining of written consent impractical .
3. The Planning Commission reports in writing as to the proposals' relationship to
the overall needs of the community, to existing land use or to a plarr for
future land use.
4. A public hearing on the proposed ordinance, changes, or alterations is
conducted, with notice of the time, place and purpose of the hearing published
at least once a week for three successive weeks prior to the public hearing.
D. FINDINGS:
1. The area included in this 40-Acre Study is 60 acres.
2. A total of 46 real estate descriptions, scattered along a 3/4 mile stretch of
Smith Avenue, will be rezoned by this study. Therefore, it is impractical to
obtain written consent.
3. The Smith Avenue Task Force was set up jointly by the Smith-Dodd Business
Association and the West Side Citizens Organization to set out desirable long
range land use and design goals for Smith Avenue. The relationship of the
proposed rezonings to the overall needs� of the community, to existing land use,
and to the desired long range iand use direction for Smith Avenue is detailed
in the Smith Avenue Task Force Report.
4. The Smith Avenue Task Force Report recomnends that the lot at the northwest
corner of Smith, and Annapolis should be rezoned from B-1 to B-2 to allow for
shared use of a parking lot there by Anton Pharmacy and the Cherokee Sirloin
Room. The Zoning Administrator has since determined that the parking lot must
be zoned P-1 to be accessory to these businesses, which are outside of the St.
Paul city limits.
5. A rezoning overlooked by the Smith Avenue Task Force Report wouTd correct a
mistake on the zoning map. The lot at 722 S. Smith is in two zoning districts,
not consistent with intent of the Zoning Code. The zoning line mistakenly
follows a plat line rather than current lot lines. Rezoning the rear 50 feet
of the lot at 722 S. Smith from B-2 to RM-2, to be consistent with the existing
zoning of the front 100 feet of the lot, would correct this mistake.

RE: Recommendation to Adopt Smith Avenue Plan, Smith Avenue 40 Acre
Study Zoning Changes, and Smith Avenue Special District Sign Plan
Dear Council Members:
The Planning Corrmission recently adopted three resolutions pertaining to Smith
Avenue on unanimous votes. The first recommends adoption of the Smith Avenue
Task Force Report as an amendment to the District 3 Plan. The second
recommends a number of zoning changes along Smith Avenue between Cherokee and
Annapolis. The third recomnends adoption of a Special ��strict Sign Plan for
Smith Avenue as an amendment to the Zoning Code.
The proposed plans and rezonings have the strong support of the Smith-Dodd
Business Association, the West Side Citizens Organization, and the West Side
Development Corporation. Representatives of these neighborhood organizations
worked together to produce the Smith Avenue Task Force Report.
I am transmitting the Smith Avenue Task Force Report, the Smith Avenue 40 Acre
Study, and the Smith Avenue Special District Sign Plan at the request of the
Planning Commission with my recorrmendation for your review and approval .
Sincerely,
eo e Lat mer
Mayo

SMITH AVENUE TASK FORCE REPORT
�
PURPOSE This report represents a land use and design study of
� Smith Avenue from Cherokee Avenue to Dodd Road. It sets
out desirable long range land use and design goals for
� Smith Avenue. Lt makes specific recommendations to
achieve tfiose goals, and coordinates improvements to
� Smith Avenue with the design and replacement of the
High Bridge.
�. BACKGROUND The Smith Avenue Task Force represents both merchants and
residents. It was set up jointly by the Smith-Dodd
Business Association and the West Side Citizens Organi-
� zation to conduct the kind of study of Smith Avenue
recommended by the Land Use and District 3 elements of
the St. Paul Comprehensive Plan.
� MAIN POINTS 1 . A 40 ACRE STUDY of Smith Avenue from Cherokee Avenue
to Annapolis Street �should be initiated to rezone
property in accordance with the recommendations of
� the District 3 and Land Use elements of the St. Paul
Comprehensive Plan and the more specific recommend-
ations of this report.
� 2. OPPORTUNITY FOR COMMERCIAL GROWTH should be in the
existing commercial cluster areas at Smith/King
(Stevens to Baker) , Smith/Annapolis, and Smith/Dodd.
� The B-3 zoned property at the southwest corner of
Smith and George and from Stevens to just past Baker
(except for 612-616 Smith and 376 W. King) should be
I • rezoned to 6-2 to encourage the types of businesses
that support the neighborhood oriented businesses in
the area. The B-1 zoned vacant property at the
� northwest corner of Smith and Annapolis should be
rezoned to B-2 to allow a parking lot that would
serve businesses at the corner.
� 3. PREDOMINANTLY RESIDENTIAL AREAS should remain so. The
B-2 zoned residential property between Baker and
Morton, at 404 W. Curtice, and at 781 S. Smith should
� be rezoned to RM-2 to make the existing use conforming
and to discourage commercial expansion outside of
the commercial cluster areas.

�
�
�
4. A STRIKING GATEWAY TO SMITH AVENUE and the Cherokee
�
Heights neighborhood should be created through the
development of a pair of well designed apartment �
buildings on the southeast and southwest corners of
Smith and Cherokee. To encourage the development
of such apartrr�nt buildings, as well as to discourage �
the use of the property for high traffic volume
businesses that would increase traffic safety problems
at the corner, the 6-3 zoned property at the south- , �
east and southwest corners of Smith and Cherokee
should be rezoned to RM-2.
5. THE OVERHEAD POWER LINES on Smith should be moved �
to the alley line and decorative street lights should
be installed.
6. THE SMITH AVENUE ROADWAY between Stevens and Dodd �
should be reconstructed at a width of 43 feet (a
width of 44 feet is needed for the bridge approach
between Stevens and Cherokee), with six inch curbs, �
and with concrete bus pads to mark bus stops.
Sidewalks should be reconstructed as needed at a
width of 5 feet, leaving a boulevard width of 3 feet. �
7. COLUMNAR NORWAY MAPLES should uniformly line Smith
Avenue from Cherokee to Dodd. MnDOT should move '
existing trees to the center of the boulevard,
or replace them with 3 inch balled and burlapped
columnar Norway Maples, when the widening of the Mn149
roadway removes or harms existing trees. �
8. NEW CURBS should be constructed where needed along
cross streets in the comnercial cluster areas �
9. SHARED USE OF PARKING LOTS should be encouraged by
the Smith-Dodd Business Association for new and
underutilized existing parking lots. A shared use �
parking lot should be constructed at the northwest _
corner of Smith and Annapolis.
10. THE LOCATION OF PARKING LOTS should be at the side �
or rear of coromercial structures and have a minimum
number of curb cuts. Access to parking lots on �
corners should be from the side street. Existing
curb cuts within 30 feet of an intersection should be
closed.
�
�
�
� ������
�
�
11 . A COORDINATED DEISGN PLAN should be developed by an
� architect for each of the commercial cluster areas.
A memorable unified visual image should be developed
for each area'through the use of repetitious elements:
building materials, colors, awnings, the proportion
� of window openings, and sign locations.
12. SIGNS on Smith Avenue should provide clear identa-
� fication for the businesses on the Avenue, reinforce
a positive image of the Avenue, and reflect the
pride businesses take in the area.
�� 13. A SPECIAL DISTRICT SIGN PLAN, with provisions to
prohibit advertising signs (billboards) and business
signs which advertise a product in addition to the
� business on the premises, should be adopted for
Smith Avenue.

I . INTRODUCTION
�
� This report represents a land use and design study
of Smith Avenue from Cherokee Avenue to Dodd Road.
It sets out desirable long range land use and
� design goals for Smith Avenue. It makes specific
recomnendations to achieve those goals.
The Smith Avenue Task Force represents both
� merchants and residents. It was set up jointly by
the Smith-Dodd Susiness Association and the West
Side Citizens Organization. Their purpopse is to
� take maximum advantage of the replacement of the
High Bridge and future improvements to Minnesota
Highway 149 in their effort to revitalize Smith
Avenue.
� Although most of the study area is in St. Paul it
also includes a portion of Smith Avenue, from
� Annapolis Street to Dodd Road, in West St. Paul .
These boundaries correspond to the area represented
by the Smith-Dodd Business Association. They are
� more true to the way Smith Avenue functions than
cutting the study area off at the city boundary.
The study area includes the entire portion of Smith
Avenue south of the High Bridge that serves as
� Minnesota Highway 149.
This study of Smith Avenue is the kind of study
1 recommended by both the Land Use and District 3
elements of the St. Paul Comprehensive Plan.
� The City Land Use Plan states that site specific
planning is needed for comnercial strips. It
states that comnercial strips function best when
they contain a mix of comnercial and residential
� uses. But it cautions that for commercial and
residential expansion to take place in mixed use
strip areas without increasing land use conflicts,
� careful , site specific planning is necessary to
identify the locations and conditions under which
expansion is appropriate. The Land Use Plan says
that area merchants and residents should be
' directly involved in such planning, and states the
following as City policy:
�
�
r -1-
�
�
The City will encourage the development of
compatible mixed uses along existing com- �
mercial strips by: 1) developing specific
land use plans; 2) developing design and
performance controls; 3) continuing �
technical and financial assistance to small
businesses; and 4) modifying current land
use regulatory provisions to permit appro-
priate flexibility in the reuse of land and �
structures.
On Smith Avenue, most comnercial development is �
clustered between Stevens and Baker, at Smith/
Annapolis, and at Smith/Dodd. The areas in between
are almost entirely residential . This land use �
pattern helps to limit conflicts between adjoining
uses.
This pattern of comnercial development in three �
fairly defined commercical cluster areas is good
for business. Businesses that are close together,
particularly businesses that are complementary, �
generate customers for each other. A comnercial
cluster area can develop an identity known by f ar
more people than would know an individual business; '
it can develop an image of the area that people
remember. Such areas have a cumulative customer
draw much greater than if the businesses were not
clustered in an identifiable area. �
For example, Victoria Crossing on Grand Avenue is a
commercial cluster area that has developed a , �
memorable image and well known identity. It is
interesting and, with its shared parking lot,
convenient. Businesses there advertise together.
They would not be as successful if they were spread �
out all along the Avenue.
Another example is Muffaletta's, which lends image �
and identity to the St. Anthony Park commercial
cluster on Como. Because of the success of
� Muff aletta's Sunday brunch, peak sales at the �
neighboring bookstore are on Sunday afternoons.
The St. Paul Land Use Plan identifies Smith/King
and Smith/Annapolis as neighborhood level com- ,
mercial clusters. Smith/Dodd, in West St. Paul , is
another neighborhood level commercial cluster. The
District 3 Plan recommends reinforcing these neigh- '
borhod commercial clusters through commercial re-
vitalization, residential rehabilitation, public
improvements, and new development. �

The District 3 Plan also makes some fairly specific �
design recomnendations for Smith Avenue. It
suggests accenting Smith/Cherokee as a "neighbor-
hood gateway" and promoting Smith Avenue as a
positive environmental feature. It recomnends �
moving the overhead power lines off of Smith and
coordinating street improvements, landscape design,
and new lighting with the replacement of the High �
Bridge.
This study of Smith Avenue is intended to implement
the recommendations of both the District 3 Plan and �
the St. Paul Land Use Plan. It is intended to
guide development along Smith and improvements to
the street itself in order to revitalize �
businesses, provide a good residential environment,
and create a street that is a positive
environmental feature. �

II . GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
�
� GOAL:Smith Avenue should be an attractive and
functional mixed-use corrmmercial/residential
street.
� OBJECTIVES:
1. Reinforce a land use pattern of
� neighborhood commercial clusters at
Smith/King (Stevens to Baker),
Smith/Annapolis, and Smith/Dodd with
� residential land use in between.
2. Rezone corr�nercially zoned residential
property outside of the neighborhood
� comnercial cluster areas to RM-2
Multiple-Family Residential to make the
residential land use conforming.
� 3. Promote shared use of new and
underutilized existing parking lots in
� comnercial cluster areas.
4. Provide adequate buffers (fencing, land-
scaping, space) between conflicting
� residential and commercial land uses.
GOAL:The Smith Avenue commercial cluster areas
� should contain a good commercial mix that
provides for the basic convenience comnercial
needs of the local neighborhood.
� OBJECTIVES:
1. Promote the success of businesses that
� serve basic neighborhood convenience com-
mercial needs (e.g. , grocery, drug, hard-
ware) by encouraging clustering of
� complementary businesses to increase
their cumulative draw.
� 2. Rezone B-3 General Business zoned
property with land use not requiring B-3
zoning to B-2 Comnunity Business to
encourage the type of commercial
� development most appropriate on Smith.
3. Encourage local and occupant ownership of
� corrmerci al property.
� -5-
�
�
4. Promote a personal , friendly, service
oriented character for businesses on �
Smith.
GOAL: Smith Avenue should have a unifying design �
theme that gives the Avenue a strong image
as a special place, enhances safety, and �
creates an atmosphere that is desirable to
both residents and customers.
OBJECTIVES: �
1. Provide design guidelines that complement
the best architecture on Smith Avenue and �
that build on its neighborhood-oriented
character.
2. Pursue funding from State of Minnesota �
highway funds, Federal Aid to Urban
Systems funds, City Capital Improvement
Budget funds, and the St. Paul �
- Neighborhood Partnership Program to make
improvements to Smith Avenue and to
provide an incentive for private improve- �
ment and rehabilitation of commercial and
, residential property along the Avenue.
3. Repave Smith Avenue at a width of 43 feet �
and with concrete bus pads marking bus
stops.
4. Provide new curbs along Smith Avenue and �
along cross streets in the commercial
cluster areas.
5. Move power lines to the alleys and �
replace street lights mounted on power
poles with decorative lighting that �
complements the character of the
neighborhood and the design of the new
High Bridge. �
6. Use columnar Norway Maples to line
Smith Avenue boulevards for its entire �
length, providing a unifying design
element and giving the Avenue a stately
appearance.

� III .LAND USE/ZONING
� ZONING HISTORY
The first zoning code in St. Paul was adopted in
1922 and was in effect until 1975. During that time
� almost all of Smith Avenue was zoned "C" Com-
mercial , a category that allowed almost any kind of
comnercial or residential land use. There were
� only three blocks on Smith Avenue that were not
entirely zoned "C" Comnercial . Except for the
southeast and southwest corners of Smith and
Cherokee and the northwest corner of Smith and
� George, the block between Cherokee and George was
zoned "C" Residence, a multi-family residential
zone. Except for the southeast and southwest
� corners of Smith and Page, the two blocks between
Morton and Sidney were zoned "B" Residence, a
duplex residential zone.
iThe "C" Commercial zone was to allow comnercial
space, as well as multiple-f amily housing, to be
developed all along the street. Because of the low
, density of the neighborhoods along Smith, however,
there was simply not a market for that much com-
mercial space. Most of the commercial space that
� was developed is clustered at specific comnercial
corners. The land use in between those comnercial
corners is almost entirely residential .
� When the entire city was rezoned in 1975 under the
new zoning code, Smith Avenue was rezoned more
consistent with the way it had developed. Because
� of the conflict that can exist between residential
and commercial land use, it was determined that
commercial uses should not be allowed in areas
� that are primarily residential and that residential
structures should not be constructed in areas that
are primarily comnercial .
� Under the current zoning the areas that are
primarily residential are zoned RM-2, a multiple-
family residential zone. Commercial uses, which
� can impare the reasonable enjoyment of adjacent
residential property if allowed to randomly mix with
residential land use, are not allowed under RM-2
� zoning.
�
� -7-
�
�
The areas that are primarily corrmerical are now �
zoned B-1 (Local Business), 6-2 (Community
Business), or B-3 (General Business). Residential
structures may not be constructed in cor�nercial
zones. �
Limiting corrmercial zoning to fairly defined areas
tends to get businesses to cluster more and is good �
for business and the value of commercial property.
Businesses that are clustered at a commercial
corner generate customers for each other to a �
greater extent than if the businesses were spread
out all along the street. Businesses with
different peak hours can often share parking lots,
providing off-street parking at a lower cost by �
making more efficient use of the lots. The
clustering of businesses also tends to reduce the
potential of conflict between commercial and resi- �
dential property.
The zoning of the portion of Smith Avenue between �
Annapolis and Dodd, in West St. Paul , fairly ac-
curately reflects existing land uses. The block
south of Annapolis and the south half of the block
north of Dodd are zoned B-2 (Neighborhood Business) ,
with the area in between zoned residential .
The rezoning of most of the St. Paul portion of �
Smith Avenue from commercial to residential in 1975
was a fairly major change. In order to make sure
there would be plenty of space for commercial
growth, a substantial amount of residential �
property was zoned commercial . Currently, the
land use of 54X of the commercially zoned land on
Smith between Cherokee and Annapolis is �
residential . The use of fully 83% of the B-1 zoned
land is residential .
40 ACRE STUDY �
Recommendation
1. A 40 Acre Study of Smith Avenue from Cherokee �
Avenue to Annapolis Street should be initiated
to rezone property in accordance with the �
recommendations of the District 3 and Land Use
elements of the City's Comprehensive Plan and
the more specific recommendations of this
report. I

The State Municipal Planning Statutes Section �
462.357(5) allows cities of the first class, which
includes St. Paul , to inititate a study, conducted
through their Planning Commission, of the whole �
, city or of any area not less than 40 acres for the
purpose of recorr�nending that the City Council
rezone portions of the city.
Since zoning guides development and in- �
fluences future land use, the 40 acre study process
provides the City Planning Commission and the City �
Council with some control over development and
future land uses. This con��=o1 can be used to
resolve existing or potential land use conflicts. �
Since the 1975 rezoning of the Avenue, both the
District 3 and Land Use elements of the City's
Comprehensive Plan have been adopted. Zoning is a �
primary means of implementing recomnendations in
both. In order to implement recommendations in the
District 3 and Land Use elements of the �
Comprehensive Plan, and in order to achieve the
goals for Smith Avenue that are recommended in this
report, the City of Saint Paul should initiate a 40
Acre Study of Smith Avenue from Cherokee Avenue to �
Annapolis Street.
The 60 acre area to be included in the 40 Acre �
Study is indicated on the "Proposed Smith Avenue 40
Acre Study Area" map. The area is defined by
Cherokee Avenue on the north, Annapolis Street on �
the south, Manomin Avenue on the east, and Ottawa
Avenue on the west.

The vacant 6-3 zoned property at the southeast
corner of Smith and Cherokee is owned by the �
Minnesota Department of Transportation. The
property will be used as a staging area during the
construction of the new High Bridge. The southwest �
corner of Smith and Cherokee, also zoned 6-3, is
occupied by Metric Auto. A portion of the already
crowded Metric Auto parking lot will be taken for �
the new High Bridge approach.
There is a traffic safety problem at the corner of
Smith and Cherokee caused by a combination of high �
traffic volume, the curve in Smith right at the end
of the bridge, and the poor visibility between
Cherokee and Smith. Because of the traffic safety �
problem a business which generates substantial
traffic is a poor use for the property. When the
new High Bridge is built a center barrier will run
� through the intersection, cutting off cross traffic �
and left turns from Cherokee. The purpose of the
barrier is to improve traffic safety, but it will
also leave any business at the corner with poor �
access.
The southeast and southwest corners of Smith and �
Cherokee should be rezoned from 6-3 to RM-2 to
allow for the construction of a pair of apartment
buildings. Because of the fine view of the river
valley, downtown St. Paul , and the State Capitol �
Building from this site, it is an excellent
location for apartment buildings.
Metric Auto would be grandf athered in as a legal �
nonconforming use under RM-2 zoning, and could
remain. The property could also be reused for �
other commercial uses by obtaining a Change in Non-
conforming Use Permit from the Planning Commission.
However, nonconforming uses could not expand on the
site and RM-2 zoning would clearly encourage �
eventual reuse.of the site for an apartment
building.
The corner of Smith and Cherokee is really the �
"gateway" to Smith Avenue and the surrounding
, neighborhoods. Now, however, the "gateway" lends a
negative image to the Avenue, with a vacant lot on �
the southeast corner and cars zparked around an auto
repair garage on the southwest corner. A pair of
well designed apartment buildings here cou]d �
provide a striking "gateway" and a positive image
for the Avenue.
�

�
` Smith Avenue is directly on axis with the front of
the State Capitol Building. From the corner of
Smith and Cherokee, on the bluff above the
� Mississippi , the locational relationship between
the State Capitol Building, the St. Paul Cathedral ,
and the World Trade Center Building is clear. The
� view of this relationship, intended by Cass
Gilbert, is a classic. A pair of well designed
apartment buildings on the corner would frame and
enhance this view for northbound Smith Avenue
, traffic as it approaches the intersection.
In 1975 the B-1 zoned residential property between
� Baker and Morton was zoned cor►mercial to provide
plenty of space for comnercial growth. The only
comnercial use in the area, however, is in the
commercial structure on the northeast corner of
rSmith and Morton.
It is unlikely that any of the houses in the area
� would be converted to commercial use. Such a
conversion is undesirable. Commercial use in any
of the houses could have a negative effect on the
� use and value of the remaining residential
structures. This area is quite removed from the
Smith/King corrmercial cluster area. There is
plenty of room for comnercial expansion in the
� heart of the Smith/King comnercial cluster area,
and is better to encourage business expansion to
take place there.
� The 6-1 zoned residential property between Baker
and Morton (652-671 S. Smith and 377 W. Morton)
� should be rezoned to RM-2.
The B-2 zoned houses at 404 W. Curtice and at 781
S. Smith should be rezoned to RM-2. The property
� is f ar from the comnercial cluster areas and there
would not be adequate space for off-street parking
if the houses were converted to businesses.

� Recomnendations
5. The B-3 zoned property at the southeast
corner of Smith and George should be re-
� zoned to B-2.
6. The B-3 zoned property from Stevens to just
� past Baker, except for 612-616 S. Smith and
376 W.King, should be rezoned to B-2.
i -13-
. �
�
7. The B-1 zoned vacant property at the northwest �
corner of Smith and Annapolis should be re-
zoned to B-2.
The B-3 zoned property at the southeast corner �
of Smith and George is outside of the Smith/
King comnercical cluster area. Uses first allowed
under B-3 zoning, (e.g. , fast food restaurants, �
major auto repair, contractor's shops, wholesale
establishments, and auto sales) , are not
appropriate at this site. Such uses could have a
negative effect on the use and value of nearby �
residential property. They would do little to
support the neighborhood-oriented retail businesses
in the Smith/King commercial cluster. �
The structure on the southeast corner of Smith and
George was built as an auto service station. The �
business on the property now, Mixon Tire Company,
provides servicing and minor repair of automobiles.
Auto service stations, including servicing and
minor repair of automobiles, is allowed under B-2 �
zoning. The B-3 zoned property at the southeast
corner of Smith and George should be rezoned to
6-2.
�
The B-3 zoned property from Stevens to just past
Baker, except for 612-616 S. Smith and 376 W. �
King, should be rezoned to B-2. This comnercial
cluster area is primarily made up of neighborhood-
oriented retail , all of which is allowed under B-2
zoning. Uses first allowed under B-3 zoning do �
little to support the neighborhood-oriented retail
businesses and could have a negative effect on the
use and value of nearby residential property. �
ABC Auto Body at 59B S.Smith would be grandf athered
in as a legal nonconforming use under 6-2 zoning. �
ABC Auto Body could remain. The property could be
reused for other B-3 uses by obtaining a Change in
Nonconforming Use Permit from the Planning Commis-
sion. However, B-2 zoning would encourage eventual �
reuse of the property for the type of commercial
use most appropriate for this location.
Johnson-Peterson Funeral Home at 612 S. Smith ' �
requires B-3 zoning and should be left B-3. Both
616 S. Smith and 376 W. King are owned by the
funeral home and should also be left B-3. The �
funeral home could be grandfathered in the way it
is under B-2 zoning. However, B-3 zoning is needed
to provide for the development of additional off- �
street parking to serve the funeral home and for
possible expansion of the funeral home itself.
-14- ,
� � ������� .
�
� The B-1 zoned vacant property at the northwest
corner of Smith and Annapolis should be rezoned to
B-2. Anton Pharmacy and the Cherokee Serloin Room
have plans to develop a much needed shared parking
�1 lot there. Because restaurants are first allowed
in 6-2 zones,6-2 zoning would be needed for the
parking lot.

�
Rezonings to R-4 One-Family Residential
, Recomnendation
� 8. The western 17 feet of lots at 745-755
Manomin should be rezoned from RM-2 to
� R-4.
The lots at 745-755 Manomin are in two zoning
districts. This is a mistake on the zoning map and
� not consistent with the intent of the Zoning Code.
The zoning line mistakenly follows an original plat
line rather than the existing alley and lot lines.
� The zoning line should follow the alley all the way
between Sidney and Curtice. To correct this
mistake, the western 17 feet of lots at 745-755
� Manomin should be rezoned from RM-2 to R-4.

IV. DESIGN �
Design choices, whether deliberate or inadvertant,
have a lot to do with the quality of Smith Avenue �
as a place to live and the viability of the Avenue
as a place to do business.
Good design on Smith Avenue has a positive effect �
on more than just the value of property along the
Avenue. Because Smith Avenue is the most visible
and widely traveled street in the Cherokee Heights �
neighborhood, improvements to Smith enhance the
public image and economic value of a much wider
surrounding area. Smith Avenue design should build �
on and complement the image and identity of the
Cherokee Heights neighborhood. It should help to
provide structure, image, and pattern to the Avenue �
and the surrounding neighborhod.
Good design is good for business. It can help to
build an image of Smith Avenue as a special area �
and aid in advertising the Avenue as a whole. It
can help to build an identity for individual com-
mercial cluster areas that customers will remember �
and to create the desirable atmosphere and pleasant
surroundings that customers are drawn to.
The most important design feature of Smith Avenue �
is its relationship to the State Capitol Building.
Smith Avenue is directly on the front axis of the
Capitol Building, and is a very important element in �
Cass Gilbert's plan for the capitol approach.
Gilbert's plan for the capitol approach is formal �
and clear, with the St. Paul Cathedral at the end
of the mall 's southwestern arm and the heart of St.
Paul comnerce at the end of the mall 's southeastern
arm. His design clearly symbolizes the relation- �
ship of elements of a noble city: a regional center
of government, religion, and commerce. It
expresses Gilbert's high aspirations for the City �
of St. Paul .
Gilbert's plan also includes a grand boulevard on �
the capitol 's southern axis as the principal ap-
proach to the capitol . The plan shows a new High
Bridge realigned on a direct north-south axis so
that this grand capitol approach boulevard would �
run due south from the capitol steps, across the
High Bridge, and up Smith Avenue to the obelisk in
Albert Park at the corner of Smith and Dodd. �

Smith Avenue is at its highest point at Albert �
Park, about 325 feet above river level . The Avenue
constantly and gradually slopes down from there to
the corner of Smith and Cherokee, which is on top �
of the Mississippi bluff about 195 feet above the
river. Because of this height and slope, as one
travels north on Smith Avenue there is always a
full view of the dome and south f acade of the State �
Capitol Building. As one nears the High Bridge the
vista opens up to the classic view of the State
Capitol , the St. Paul Cathedral , and Downtown St. �
Paul that Gilbert intended. This is certainly the
best approach to the center of St. Paul , and pro-
vides a powerful image of what the City of St. Paul
is all about. �
Much of Cass Gilbert's plan for the capitol ap-
proach has materialized, and there is currently �
renewed comnitment to the plan. The Governor of
Minnesota has proposed susbstantial funding for
improvements to the capitol mall . The Minnesota ,
World Trade Center will be built on the end of the
mall 's southeastern arm. It will be the tallest
building in Downtown St. Paul , symbolize the im-
portance of world trade to the state as well as the I
relationship between state government and comnerce,
and occupy a location corresponding to that of the
St. Paul Cathedral in relation to the State Capitol ,
Building. Upcoming improvements to Smith Avenue
represent another opportunity to build on Cass
Gilbert's plan.
Its relationship to the capitol gives Smith Avenue �
a very special identity. It creates a sense of
interconnectedness, and provides Smith Avenue with �
a sense of place. That relationship should be
highlighted.
Not only places, but the names of places, can give �
identity and legibility to Smith Avenue. A name
such as Capitol Boulevard would identify the
Avenue's relationship to the capitol . . The use of i
neighborhood names, names such as Cherokee State
Bank, Cherokee Serloin Room, and Cherokee Service,
can make the location of comnercial areas clear to ,
potential customers. Through the use of �uch
names, neighborhoods can give identity to com-
mercial areas and, because of their visibility, ,
commercial areas give identity to neighborhoods.
The names serve to heighten a sense of place.
i
_20_ �
� �������
�
There is a symbiotic relationship between neighbor-
� hoods and neighborhood commercial areas. Well de-
signed and coordinated improvements to a neighbor-
hood commercial area can visibly define the flavor
� of the neighborhood as well as improve the business
climate of the commercial area.
� LIGHTING
Recommendation
� 9. Street lights mounted on 30 foot high
decorative poles should be spaced at about 150
feet (three per block) along Smith Avenue from
� Fort Road to Dodd Road, replacing the existing
street lights mounted on power poles. The style
of the poles should complement the design of the
I new High Bridge and the character of the neigh-
borhood.
a. The Minnesota Department of Transpor-
� tation, as part of the High Bridge pro-
ject, should install decorative street
lights on the new bridge and its
� approaches, from Fort Road to Stevens.
b. MnDOT, as part of the Minnesota High
� way 149 improvement project, should in-
stall decorative street lights along
Smith from Stevens to Dodd. If not
installed by MnDOT,the lights should be
� installed by the Cities of St. Paul and
West St. Paul using CIB funds.
� 10. The overhead power lines on Smith should be
moved to the alleys by either Mn00T or the
Cities.
� Unified form and pattern in street elements such as
lighting and trees can do a great deal to high-
light Smith Avenue's special relationship to the
� capitol . The importance of the Smith Avenue ap-
proach to the capitol in Cass Gilbert's formal plan
make Smith Avenue a top priarity for the instal-
� lation of new street lights.
The new High Bridge is a key design element for
� Smith Avenue. The style of the new decorative
lights should be chosen based on the design of the
High Bridge, The St. Paul Public Works Department
has suggested using the davit arm (curved arm)
�
� -21-
�
�
style pole typically used on St. Paul arterials. �
The design of the new bridge is only in a
preliminary stage, however, and it is too early to
specify davit arm style poles. Whatever style pole �
is chosen, it should complement the design of the
new High Bridge and the character of the
neighborhood. The same style should be used
consistently along Smith Avenue from Fort Road to �
Dodd Road. The poles should be either self-
weathering steel or painted S.O.M. #2 (dark bronze
color) . �
The overhead power lines on Smith really detract
from the appearance of the Avenue and the view of �
the capitol . Moving the power lines to the alleys
would do a lot to enhance the image and economic
value of the Avenue. With the importance of the
Smith Avenue approach to the capitol , removing this �
visual competition from the view of the capitol is
a top priority.
TREES �
Recomnendation �
11. Smith Avenue boulevards should be unif ormally
planted with columnar Norway Maples from
Cherokee to Dodd. ,
a. The Cities of St. Paul and West St. Paul
should plant columnar Norway Maples on ,
Smith Avenue as trees need to be re-
placed.
b. MnDOT should move existing trees to the �
center of the boulevard, or replace them
with 3 inch balled and burlapped columnar
Norway Maples, as deemed necessary by ,
the City when widening of the Mn149
roadway removes or harms existing trees.
Columnar Norway Maples are recommended for Smith t
between Cherokee and Annapolis by the City of St.
Paul Street Tree Master Plan. They should be
continued on to Dodd in West St. Paul . �
Columnar Norway Maples are tolerant of city
conditions and suitable for growing in limited �
space. For Smith Avenue, with its narrow
boulevards arid relatively high traffic volume, that :
is important.
�
-22- ,
1 � ��-���
�

More importantly, because they are "columnar" they
� will not block the view of the capitol . The Smith
Avenue roadway is just over 40 feet wide. Trees
with a large crown would arch right over the middle
, of the street, cutting off the view of the capitol .
Existing trees that cut off the view of the capitol
should be trimmed back.
� The visual rhythm and continuity provided by evenly
spaced decorative street lights and stately
rows of evenly spaced columnar Norway Maples will
� dramatize the view of the capitol . The trees will
screen out visual competition along the Avenue and
frame the view of the capitol .
� ROADWAY/SIDEWALKS
� Recomnendations
12. MnDOT should reconstruct Smith Avenue from
Stevens to Dodd Road at a width of 43 feet,
, with six inch curbs, and with concrete bus
pads to mark bus stops.
� a. MnDOT should apply for Federal Aid to
Urban Systems funds to reconstruct the
Smith Avenue portion of Mn149. If FAU
funds are not available, state highway
ifunds should be used.
13. The City should provide new curbs where needed
, along cross streets in the comnercial cluster
areas (King, Baker, and Annapolis Streets).
� 14. Sidewalks should be reconstructed, when
needed, at a width of five feet. When street
reconstruction leaves a boulevard width of
less than three feet, MnDOT should
, reconstruct the sections of sidewalk next to
trees so that there is a three foot boulevard
width at each tree.
� The approaches to the High Bridge, between the
north end of the High Bridge and Fort Road and
� between the south end of the bridge and Stevens,
will be reconstructed at a width of 44 feet with
six inch curbs. MnDOT is planning future
reconstruction of Minnesota Highway 149 from
� Stevens to Interstate 494.

The Smith Avenue right-of-way is 60 feet wide. The ,
existing roadway width is between 40 and 42 feet.
There is on-street parking on both sides of Smith
which serves existing commercial and residential �
development. With the need for on-street parking
and the relatively high traffic volume of 11-12,000
vehicles per day, the narrow Smith Avenue right-of- �
way presents some problems.
The roadway should be at least 44 feet wide to
accomodate a high traffic volume plus on-street �
parking on each side. The minimum boulevard width
needed for trees is 3 feet. A minimum of 5 feet is
needed for snow storage; a narrower boulevard means �
snow piled on sidewalks and on part of the parking
lane. Sidewalks are typically 5 feet wide, and
some older ones are 6 feet wide. A 44 foot wide �
roadway plus 5 foot wide sidewalks and 5 foot wide
boulevards equals 64 feet. Given a 60 foot wide
right-of-way, a balance has to be found between the
need for adequate boulevard width and the need for �
adequate on-street parking and safe parking and
driving lane widths.
On-street parking on both sides of the street is �
needed to serve existing corr�nercial and residential
development. It should not be removed. Boulevard
trees are especially important on Smith because of �
the view of the capitol . The roadway should be as
wide as possible while maintaining 5 foot wide
sidewalks and boulevards wide enough for trees. '
Hence, the roadway should be 43 feet wide with 6
inch curbs, and boulevards should be 3 feet wide.
Where sidewalks are 6 feet wide a 43 foot roadway ,
will leave 2 foot wide boulevards, not wide enough
for trees. In these locations MnDOT should re-
construct the sections of sidewalks next to trees at �
5 feet in width so that there is a 3 foot boulevard
width at each tree. When trees need to be moved
because of roadway widening that leaves existing �
trees too close to the curb, coordination with
street reconstruction scheduling is necessary.
Tree moving must be done when the adjacent curb and ,
sidewalk sections are out to provide adequate space
for the tree spade.
Mn00T has indicated a 43 foot wide roadway is �
adequate between Stevens and Dodd but that a full
44 feet is needed for the bridge approach between
Stevens and Cherokee. Where sidewalks are 5 feet ,
in width, this will leave boulevards only 2-1/2
-24- ,
� �r��'-���
I
, feet wide. MnDOT should reconstruct the sections
of sidewalk next to trees with semicircular cut-
� out areas to provide a 3 foot wide boulevard around
each tree. MnDOT should entirely reconstruct 6 foot
wide sidewalks in the bridge approach area to 5 feet
in width with cutout areas around trees. Because it
I is the gateway to Smith Avenue, street trees are
especially important in the High Bridge approach
area.
, Curbs are needed to make the most efficient and
safest use of on-street parking. MnDOT would in-
� stall new curbs as part of its street widening and
reconstruction pro�ect on Smith. Because cross
streets in comnercial cluster areas are used for
high turn over on-street comnercial parking, the
� City should make these streets a priority for
needed curb replacement.
, PARKING LOTS
� Recomnendations
15. Existing parking lots should be efficiently
used through shared use by businesses with
� different peak hours.
a. The Smith-Dodd Business Association
, should encourage businesses to work out
agreements for the shared use of park-
ing lots and aid in working out such
agreements.
, 16. Parking lots should be located to the side or
rear of commercial structures and have a
� minimum number of curb cuts. Access to
parking lots on corners should be from the
side street. Existing curb cuts within 30
' feet of an intersection should be closed.
These recomnendations should be enforced
through the city's site plan review process.
' 17. As a minimum, all parking lots should be
brought up to the landscaping standards of the
Zon i ng Code.
, : The availability of convenient, safe, and well
landscaped customer parking lots has a substantial
� effect on the image customers have of Smith Avenue
as a place to shop. Nearby, readily identifiable
parking is important for the success of businesses.
, -25-
,
�
The best way to provide sufficient and convenient �
off-street parking for businesses on Smith is
through the shared use of parking lots by
businesses with different peak hours. Such co- �
operation by businesses can ease parking congestion
without wasting valuable land and without large,
uninviting areas of pavement. Because the �
businesses have different peak hours, adequate
parking can be achieved with fewer parking spaces
than if each business had its own separate parking
lot. The most likely place for such shared use of '
parking to occur is where there is a cluster of
businesses.
The most desirable way to create shared-use parking �
lots is by simply making better use of existing
parking lots that are underutilized: parking lots �
that are only partially filled during the non-peak
hours of the businesses they serve. For example,
the Cherokee Bank parking lot, which is under-
utilized in the evening, could be shared by a ,
restaurant with its peak hours in the evening.
Although the peak hours of the Johnson-Peterson
Funeral Home lot are more unpredictable, the lot is ,
often underutilized and could be used as part of a
pool parking spaces shared by businesses in the
Smith/King commercial cluster area. ,
The other way to create shared use parking lots �s
by developing completely new parking lots on vacant
or underutilized parcels. The vacant property at '
the northwest corner of Smith and Annapolis could
be developed as a shared-use parking lot by Anton
Pharmacy and the Cherokee Serloin Room, businesses �
that have different peak hours.
The creation of shared-use parking lots, whether
through better use of existing parking lots or the �
development of new ones, is dependent on the co-
operation of the businesses involved. The benefit
of such cooperation for the general business �,
climate of an area as well as for individual
businesses is the kind of thing that can be
achieved by merchants working together to achieve
what is in their comnon interest. Businesses in a ,
commercial area are interdependent: they generate
customers for each other, the image of each
business reflects on the area as a whole, and the ,'
success of each business is important for the area
as a whole. Shared use of a parking lot means the
cost of the lot is also shared. Efficient use of �
each parking space means that adequate parking, so

,
important for the business success, can be provided '
on the lowest possible cost. It also means that
adequate parking can be provided on the smallest �
amount of land, making more land available for new
businesses and for the expansion of existing
businesses. ,
_ Parking lots can be of great benefit to the
businesses they serve and are often essential for
the success of those businesses. But parking lots '
are not without negative side effects. They tend
to be ugly, unpleasant places; they are\ in-
hospitable and dangerous for pedestrians; they �
break up the building line of the Avenue and can be
detrimental to its image. To provide adequate
parking without creating a "sea of cement", the
favored way of providing adequate parking is �
through maximum use of existing parking facilities.
The detrimental effects of parking lots can also be
minimized through care in their location and land- ,
scaping.
Parking should be located to the side or to the ,
rear of commercial buildings. Parking in front of
buildings disrupts the continuity of building
f acades; it makes the buildings and the businesses
in them less visible and leads to confusing pole ,
signs. Parking to the side of commercial
structures is preferable: the building can be
located up to the sidewalk, giving,the businesses '
good visibility and pedestrians good access; the
parking is also visible from the street, making it
feel safe and easy to identify with he busiesses it ,
serves.
For pedestrian and vehicular safety and to allow a
maximum of on-street parking, the number of curb �
cuts should be minimized. Access to parking lots
on corners should generally be from the side
street, where there is less conflicting vehicular �
and pedestrian traffic, and curb cuts should be
kept away from the corner. The zoning code
requires that curb cuts for new parking lots be at ,
least 30 feet from the point of intersection of
curb lines of two or more intersecting streets.
Some curb cuts for existing parking lots do not
conform to this requirement, however, and cause �
traffic safety problems. Such curb cuts should be
moved to at �least conform with the minimum re-
quirements of the zoning code or closed.
,
-28- '
i ��'�'-a��
1 �
� Service functions and access for such activities as
goods delivery and garbage removal should be
separated from the customer parking area. Garbage
� should be screened. Service access and employee
parking should ideally occur off of the alley.
For any new parking lot, the zoning code requires a
, minimum of one square foot of landscaped area for
each ten square feet of paving in order to reduce
the detrimental effect of the parking lot on
, adjacent property and the public right-of-way,
reduce the visual glare and heat effects of large
expanses of pavement, and provide areas for the re-
' tention and absorption of stormwater runoff. In
addition to perimeter landscaping, new parking lots
for more than 50 cars must contain planted islands.
Many existing parking lots do not conform to the
� landscaping standards of the Zoning code. As a
minimum, all parking lots should be brought up to
the landscaping standards of the zoning code.
� Parking lot landscaping has a tremendous impact on
the image and desirability of individual comnercial
� areas and the street as a whole. Shade trees are
the most important element for parking lot land-
scaping. They soften large paved areas, provide
cooling shade for customers and their cars, and
, help create the desirable atmosphere and pleasant
surroundings customers are drawn to. Trees be-
tween a parking lot and the street can help to
, maintain the continuity of the building facade
line. Shrubs, sod, and groundcover plants should
also be used in the landscaping areas.
,
BUILDING FACADES
' Recomnendation
, 18. A coordinated design plan should be developed
for each of the comnercial cluster areas. A
memorable unified visual image should be
developed for each area through the use of
, repetitious elements: building materials,
colors, awnings, the proportion of window
openings, and sign locations.
, Building facades are particularly important for the
image of the Avenue. They are landmarks and
� provide points of reference.

Smith Avenue is usually viewed from vehicles. Be-
, cause of the speed of travel , buildings are seen as
groups and individual f acades are less noticed.
However, most of Smith Avenue is a chaotic, un-
� differentiated mix of design that provides no
clear, memorable image or pattern. The development
of coordinated design motifs with readily under-
standable patterns would make each business more
, visible and give Smith Avenue a much stronger
image.
, Creating the kind of coordinated, harmonious com-
mercial area design recommended here takes the co-
ordinated, harmonious action of the merchants in
' the area. Merchants working together to achieve
what is in their comnon interest can create a
business climate much better than if they are un-
coordinated, sometimes conflicting actors each
, pursuing his individual interest. In the wider
view, the comnon interest is the individual
interest. That is reflected in the effect of
, design on the success of comnercial areas.
A coordinated design plan should be developed by an
� architect f or each of the three comnercial cluster
areas on Smith Avenue. The design motif at each
commercial cluster area should be based on the best
architectural motifs of existing buildings there.
, A memorable unified visual image can be developed
for individual commercial areas and the Avenue as a
whole through the use of repetitious elements:
� building materials, colors, awnings, the proportion
of window openings, and sign locations. General
guidelines for each of these elements should be
, consistently followed along the entire Avenue.
More specific guidelines for signs, colors,
architectural styles, cornices, building materials,
and other physical details should be developed as
' part of each individual comnercial area design
plan.
� Building materials have a considerable influence
over the qua�ity of comnercial areas. As a general
rule, it is best to stick with the original design
and materials of each building rather than
� attempting to change them and to highlight the
original individuality of each building. Generally,
there is a fairly cormnon set of original building
, materials in a corrmercial area. When additions to
buildings are made, building materials that match
or complement those of the existing building should
' be used. Sheet metal and other materials of a
temporary look should always be avoided.
, -31-
. '
,
Color can be used effectively to tie together a '
num�er of building shapes. Architectural schemes
are most effective when they contain only one or
two real colors. Neutral colors (whites, greys, and
blacks) tend to emphasize building form more than �
real colors. Strong or bright colors should be
reserved for significant detail , entryways, and
doors. ,
Roll-u canvas awnin s should be used as a
un� ying e ement in t e major comnercial areas. '
Awnings provide other benefits as well : they can
allow sunlight into a building in the winters and
block it in the summer, and they can provide shoppers
protection from rain when needed, making the area a '
more pleasant place to shop.
Buildin s should face the Avenue, with windows �
0o ing out onto t e Avenue for view and display,
and buildings should not be set back from the
Avenue to provide parking in front of the building. ,
Entryways, which are remembered by customers and
too often poorly treated in remodeling, should be
recessed from the facade and receive special color
and lighting accent. The traditional pattern of ,
window openings in comnercial buildings creates
continuity in comnercial areas and should be
followed. First floor windows f acing the street ,
should be large and continuous and should not be
covered up. Upper floor windows should be smaller,
with a more dotted rhythm.
Si ns oriented to vehicular traffic should be '
ocated on the sign bands of building facades. The
heights of signs should be matched, and they should ,
not cover up architectural trim and detail .
Building addresses should be consistently located
above entry doors; if that is not possible, they ,
should be on the entry door itself.
In order to achieve the kind of quality comnercial
area design proposed here, the Smith-Dodd Business '
Association must play a management and coordinating
role. The Smith-Dodd Business Association should
play a role in promoting the Avenue as a whole to '
customers, in mediating disputes among businessmen,
in getting all merchants along the Avenue involved
in making improvements to implement a coordinated '
design plan, and in exercising a degree of control
over how merchants handle sensitive problems, such
as unattractive signs.

, SIGNS
Recomnendations
, 19. Signs on Smith Avenue should provide clear id-
entification for the businesses on the Avenue,
reinforce a positive image of the Avenue, and
, reflect the pride businesses take in the area.
20. A special district sign plan, with provisions
, to prohibit advertising signs (billboards) and
business signs which advertise a product in
addition to the business on the premises,should
be adopted for Smith Avenue.
, Signs are a highly visible and very important part
of any comnercial street. They play an important
' role in informing customers about the types and
location of businesses in comnercial areas.
Because of their high visibility, they have a very
� significant influence on the visual quality of
commercial streets. Poor signage can do a great
deal of harm to a commercial area, but it is also
relatively easy to change. Compared with other
' improvements, signage improvements are fairly
inexpensive and yet can have a major impact on the
appearance of an area. Signs on Smith Avenue
, should provide clear identification for the
businesses on the Avenue, reinforce a positive
image of the Avenue, and reflect the pride
' businesses take in the area.
Signs on Smith Avenue are usually viewed from
vehicles. Because the person doing the viewing is
, moving and looking at more than just the signs,
about one sign per second can be spotted and read.
At 20-30 miles per hour, this means about one sign
' for each 40 foot lot on one side of the street. If
the signs are randomly located, unclear, or hard to
read, fewer will be read.
' Studies have shown that the most important
information on a business sign is simply the name
of the business. Extra information tends to reduce
, the impact of the sign. Extra signs in a com- ,
mercial area, signs advertising things other than
the businesses in the area, also reduce the impact
� : of the business signs. They make it less likely
' that the signs advertising the businesses in the
area will be seen and remembered.

, A person who is just driving down the Avenue, not
looking for a specific location, will probably see
as much with his subconscious mind as conscious
mind. The signs in this case become reminders:
' visual images of services offered on the Avenue.
The stronger and more concise the message, the more
the driver will remember.
, The information that signs on Smith Avenue should
clearly and concisely provide is identification of
the businesses there. The clutter and chaotic
, diversity often created by signage in commercial
areas detracts from the effectiveness of signs in
providing that information.
' Advertising signs, signs advertising things other
than the business on the premises, compete with
, signs that identify businesses in commercial areas.
Because of that, as well as because of the
significance of the view of the State Capitol
Building from Smith Avenue, advertising signs
� (billboards) should not be allowed on Smith Avenue.
Business signs should simply direct attention to
, the business on the premises; they should not
advertise a product. Signs which advertise a
product and include the name of the business on
the premises are often provided by product
' suppliers. Such signs f ail to highlight the
important information (the business name), add
clutter to the street, and should not be allowed on
' Smith Avenue.
Business signs should be located at a uniform
' height and location on buildings to make it easier
for them to be found and read, and graphics should
be simple and clear. Signs oriented to vehicular
' traffic should be located on the sign bands of
building facades, and they should not cover up
architectural trim and detail . Because wall signs
are almost always seen from an angle, extended
, typef aces should be used. Roof signs tend to be
out of scale with signs on Smith Avenue and should
only be used to match roof lines and unify
' sign bands of adjacent buildings. Projecting signs
(signs which project from a wall of a building)
tend to obstruct the view of other signs and are,
together with pole signs, a major source of sign
' clutter. Wall signs are preferred over both pro-
jecting signs and pole signs. No more than one

, projecting sign or pole sign per 40 foot lot should
be allowed. Signs more than 20 feet above the
ground are out of the viewer's normal range of
' vision and are of little value. The highest point
on any business sign should be permitted to be no
more than 20 feet above grade.
, In general , words and symbols should take up no
more than 40 percent of the total area of a sign.
Signs with light letters on a dark background are
' easier to spot on a busy street. Colors used in
signs should be compatible with the building and
surrounding environment. To maximize the effect of
, the graphics, the number of colors should be
minimal . Lighting of signs should be carefully
considered; indirect and subdued lighting is pre-
� ferred.
Clear, easily found building addresses are im-
portant for customers to easily find businesses.
, Building addresses should be consistently located
above entry doors; if that is not possible they
should be located on the entry door itself. All
, address signs should be numerical instead of
written and should be clearly visible. Attention
should be paid to the contrast of the numbers to
the background in order to achieve the most legible
' and harmonious effect. When the numbers are placed
on glass, numbers with bright color or gold are
seen best whatever the lighting conditions are
, inside and outside.
The location of all signs oriented to vehicular
, traffic (business signs, addresses, and public
information signs) should be coordinated to make
them easier to find and to increase their
legibility. Business signs should be located at
, the highest level : the level of the sign bands of
building facades. Addresses should be located at a
middle level . Public information signs, such as
, those for parking and loading zones, should be
located at a lower level .
Public signs should be located on the fewest
,' possible number of poles. As much as possible,
they should be limited to light poles, with no more
than two signs per pole. Unnecessary public
', signage should be removed. Al1 street light poles,
sign poles, .traffic signals, etc., should be
painted S.O.M.#2 (dark bronze color) as repainting
� is necessary.

� The Zoning Code includes basic sign regulations
governing such things as the type, size and height
of signs allowed in the various zoning districts
, � and the setback of signs from street and property
lines. It also provides for the creation of
special district sign plans which may include
regulations for signs more or less restrictive than
, those specified in the Zoning Code. The intent
behind that provision is to encourage specific
areas in the city to develop sign controls that
' build on the unique character and identity of those
areas. To help develop a more desirable and
memorable image for Smith Avenue and Smith Avenue
' businesses, and especially because of the
importance of the Smith Avenue approach to the
capitol, such a special district sign plan should
be adopted for Smith Avenue.
� The Smith Avenue Special District Sign Plan should
prohibit advertising signs (b�llboards) and
' business signs which advertise a product in
addition to the business on the premises (signs
which lawfully existed before adoption of the plan
would be allowed to remain) . It should allow only
� one projecting or pole sign per 40 foot lot, and
permit the highest point on any business sign to be
no more than 20 feet above grade.
