SAINT PAUL CITY COUNCIL
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
The Saint Paul City Council will hold a public hearing on an ordinance amending Chapters

City Council Chambers - 300 City Hall
15 West Kellogg Boulevard, Saint Paul

An Executive Summary of the proposed amendments is attached. A copy of the proposed
amendments is available by e-mail or by calling Allan Torstenson at 651-266-6579.
Proposed Traditional Neighborhood Districts and Zoning Code Reformatting
Executive Summary
Draft proposed urban village zoning districts allow a broader range of land uses than existing zoning
districts,and provide opportunities for higher-density pedestrian-oriented mixed housing and commercial
development on major transit streets, along with design standards to help ensure that such development
is of high quality and protects the character of existing neighborhoods.
Development of these new zoning districts has been pushed by housing advocates for many years, and
it is a key recommendation in the Saint Paul Housing Action Plan as well as the Land Use and Housing
chapters of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan. The design standards are a tool for supporting quality
redevelopment that a number of our district councils have called for in recent years, without the
proliferation of individual overlay districts, each with their own unique set of design standards, that can
result in administrative inefficiency and enforcement difficulty. The proposed TN Traditional
Neighborhood Districts are a key to achieving a high number of housing units and quality urban village
redevelopment for most of the major development sites within the city.
The draft urban village districts were developed with the following functional objectives and constraints:
• Provide for a greater mix of uses and more urban design guidance and without creating new
administrative and plan review burdens for staff already stretched too thin.
• Function simply,clearly and efficiently,in a way that is easy for the public as well as zoning staff to
use and understand.
• Fit seamlessly into the existing zoning code, not make zoning regulations more complex.
Traditional Neighborhood Districts
The Planning Commission recommends the creation of three new TN Traditional Neighborhood zoning
districts that would cover all types of mixed-use urban village sites, from small commercial nodes in
existing neighborhoods to the largest redevelopment sites. In tandem with the new TN districts, a set of
design standards is included to provide the type of design direction for new development the City and
district councils have long been advocating. The design standards are intended to foster new development
that sustains its quality and increases its value over the long term. The features of each proposed TN
Traditional Neighborhood District would be as follows:
• TN1: This district is based on the OS-1 Local Office-Service District and provides for a variety of
residential, office and service uses to serve neighborhood needs. It would function mainly as a
transitional zone between higher-intensity commercial districts such as University Avenue and
adjacent residential neighborhoods. It would also likely be used on the"edges"of large urban village
sites where a transition to a lower-density neighborhood or other district is needed.
• TN2: This district would allow a mix of residential uses along with the types of commercial uses
allowed in the existing B-2 Community Business District,with additional standards for building and
parking placement and design. It could be used at pedestrian- and transit-oriented nodes such as
Phalen Village where a diversity of land uses and some intensification of use would be appropriate.
The district might also be useful along pedestrian-oriented shopping streets, and is currently
recommended by the Arcade Street Task Force for most of Arcade.
• TN3: The most intense district,it is designed for development of large sites such as Koch-Mobil and
the West Side Flats,where a site-specific master plan, minimum densities and diversity in land use
and housing types, common open space and an interconnected street pattern are required. It is also
designed as a tool for achieving high-quality,higher-density mixed-use development on smaller sites
such as at University-Emerald and the University-Raymond area,where there is already a mix of uses
or the comprehensive plan has identified potential for urban village development.
4
The TN3 district will replace the OS-2 district since that district was intended as an interim mixed-use
district for the larger urban village sites.Affected OS-2 sites are the Upper Landing and West Side Flats.
The Planning Commission has recommended the changes from OS-2 to TN3 occur when the TN
ordinance text is adopted. No rezoning of other sites is recommended as part of TN text adoption. Any
future rezoning to TN would follow normal rezoning processes.
Additional Code Amendments
In addition to the new TN districts,the Planning Commission recommends some new general standards
for site plan review citywide, similar to standards recently adopted as part of special overlay zones for
White Bear Avenue and the Shepard-Davern area. They are the kind of standards that have been called
for by district councils through small area plans such as the Phalen Village Plan,the Concord-Robert Plan
and others, but have not yet been implemented. The Commission also recommends amendments to
provide for a broader range of housing options as called for in the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan, and
remove barriers to traditional neighborhood development.
• Site Plan Review. Additional basic standards for building entries, contextual design, screening of
mechanical equipment and garage location.
• Parking Facilities. Additional basic standards for screening, design and lighting.
• Sign Regulations. Additional guidelines for multi-tenant buildings and signs within TN districts.
• Secondary and Live-work Dwellings. Permit secondary dwellings,such as"carriage house dwellings"
and"mother-in-law apartments," and live-work dwellings in certain circumstances.
• Subdivision Ordinance. Additional language that encourages interconnected street patterns,
traditional block sizes, and alleys.
Code Reformatting and Streamlining
Finally,the Planning Commission recommends basic reformatting of the whole zoning code in order to
streamline, simplify, and generally make it more user friendly. A major proposed reformatting feature
is to replace dozens of fairly random lists of land uses and conditions for uses,redundant and inconsistent
language, and a confusing web of references to other zoning districts with a simple, logically organized
table of permitted and conditional uses for each general zoning category, and land use standards and
conditions logically organized by land use category. The advantage of this approach, found in the new
Minneapolis ordinance and other recent zoning codes, is that it avoids either listing all uses within each
district or cross referencing previous districts. It also allows the reader to easily compare uses across all
districts within a given category. Specific recommendations for streamlining the code include:
• Zoning permits valid for two years instead of one.
• Planning Commission may grant variances related to rezoning, avoiding redundant public hearings.
• Residential garages can be rebuilt on existing garage pad even if nonconforming.
• Open, covered porches may project six feet into a required front yard.
• Signs permitted to project four feet over sidewalk in downtown, avoiding numerous variances.
• Cluster housing maybe detached as well as attached,allowing single-family houses on small lots with
townhouse-style maintenance agreements.
• Incorporate all permitted industrial uses into main part of code, eliminating appendices.
• Replace complex room count formula for determining residential density with simple,clear minimum
lot area per unit figures in a table.
• Increase maximum height allowance for one-family structures from 30 to 35 feet to avoid need for
variances that are almost always granted.
• Increase maximum lot coverage for principal structures in residential districts from 30% to 35% to
reduce need for numerous variances always granted.

Dear Saint Paul Citizen:
Re: Planning Commission public hearings the Sun Ray-Suburban Small Area Plan and 40-Acre Study
Sun Ray-Suburban, on the city's East Side, is a commercial area developed in the 1960's and 1970's that is
bisected by the I-94 highway. It is characterized by a suburban-style retail development pattern. The
commercial area thrived in those decades, but its influence has waned as housing and newer retail centers have
been developed east of the city.
The goal of the Sun Ray-Suburban Small Area Plan is implementation of a three-fold vision that includes a
revitalized retail center focused on community-oriented retail; a mix of land uses that includes housing; and a
connected,pedestrian-oriented community.
Work on the Sun Ray-Suburban Small Area Plan began in February 2003,with a task force appointed by the
Planning Commission that included residents and representatives of businesses and community organizations
began meeting to assess the issues. The public hearing draft,prepared by the task force with input from City
staff and the Design Center, includes 52 strategies intended to address these issues. The strategies are focused
on movement(transportation); land use; public spaces; urban design; and, stormwater management. The plan
envisions three nodes, including a highway-access retail area at I-94 and White Bear;the Sun Ray center, at
McKnight and Old Hudson Roads; and a Village Center, on both sides of Suburban Avenue between Ruth and
White Bear Avenues.
The Planning Commission invites you to review and comment on the draft plan. Comments may be offered in
two ways—by speaking at the public hearings and by sending a letter. The public hearing is scheduled for
Friday,December 5,2003,beginning at 8:30 a.m. The hearing is at the City Hall Conference Center.
A copy of the complete hearing notice and a map of proposed zone changes is on the reverse side of this letter.
Sincerely,
Gladys Morton
