INI'PIATING PROBLEM, ISSUE, OPPOR'PTJNITY (R`6o, W hay When, W here, W hy):
The Mississippi River Corridor Plan calls for replacing the RCR-1, RCC-1 and RCI-1 zoning districts as they are
ineffective, and in some cases, inconsistent with the City's vision (as stated in the Land Use Plan and the Saint Paul
on the Mississippi Development Framework) for xnixed-use urban villages along the downtown river&ont.
Rezoning the Upper Landing site will prepaze it for redevelopment. Beyond the Upper Landing, there are other
sites along the City's downtown riverfront that would benefit from having a zoning classification that is mare
consistent with existing and proposed uses, such as Harriet Island Regional Park. In response, the Plauiung
Commission initiated a 40-Acre Study in March, 2001 to recommend Zoning Code amendments in two area:
1) map amendments (rezonings) to facilitate redevelopment of the Upper Landing, and rezone other riverfront
parcels currendy zoned RCR-1, RCC-1, or RCI-1 to make zoning mare consistent with existing and proposed uses,
and 2) text amendments to reduce the maa�unum structure height in the OS-2 zoning district from 100 to 90 feet.
ADVANTAGESIFAPPROVEA�
The Upper Landing will be appropriately zoned to be redeveloped as a medium-density mixed-use neighborhood.
DISADVANTAGESIFAPPROVED:
Nane
DISADVANTAGES IF NOT APPROVED: ��
The Upper Landing will not be rezoned for redevelopment. ��, �!�

the proposed amendments are related to the overall needs of e community, to existing land use or to plans
for future land use, as stated in the River Corridor Plan and and Use Plan chapters of the Ciry's
Comprehensive Plan, and the Saint Paul on the Mississip t Development Framework; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a pubfic earing on the "Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Zoning
Study" on April 13, 2001 and, after considering pu ic testimony, 1) found the "Downtown Riverfront 40-
Acre Zoning Study consistent with the Saint Paul omprehensive Plan, and the Saint Paul on the Mississippi
Development Framework; and 2) recommended n Apri127, 2001 that the Zoning Code be amended as per
the 40-Acre Study; and

Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Zoning Study
I am attaching for your consideration the Planning Commission's recommendations regarding
the Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Zoning Study. A copy of the memo the Chair o£the
Commission sent to me is attached for your information and background. I think this memo very
clearly explains the impetus behind the 40-Acre Study, the key recommendations of the study
and their relationship ta the Saint Pau1 Comprehensive Plan, and the Saint Paul on the
Mississippi Development Framework.
I concur with the Planning Commission's findings and recommendations, and encourage the City
Council to adopt the recommendations of the Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Zoning Study.
Thank you.

Downtown River&ont 40-Acre Zoning Study

O� -3a�
Te[ephone: 65Z-266-6565
Facsimile: 651-128-3314
The Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Study has three goals: 1) to implement the Mississippi
River Corridor Plan, the Land Use Plan, and the Saint Paul on the Mississippi Development
Framework; 2} to prepare the Upper Landing site for redevelopment; and 3) to make zoning
more consistent with existing and proposed land uses along the City's riverfront.
The recently adopted Mississippi River Corridor Plan states that the RCR-1, RCC-1 and
RCI-1 zoning districts aze ineffective, and in some cases, inconsistent with the City's vision
(as stated in the Land Use Plan and the Saint Paul on the Mississippi Development
Framework) for mixed-use urban villages along the downtown Mississippi riverfront. No
changes are being proposed in this 40-Acre Study to the river corridor overlay adopted to
comply with the State's Critical Area requirements.
The Upper Landing site is currently zoned RCR-1. While this zoning category would allow
the type of residenual development envisioned in the Upper Landing Urban Design Master
Plan, it does not allow commercial uses. The intent of the zoning changes proposed for the
Upper Landing is to facilitate a finer-grained mix of uses within one large development site.
Beyond the Upper Landing, there are other sites along the City's downtown riverfront that
would benefit from having a zoning classification that is more consistent with existing and
proposed uses, such as Harriet Island Regional Pazk. It is the intent in this 40-Acre Study to
recommend rezoning these parcels to other zoning classifications that allow existing uses, so
that no non-confornung uses will be created. Far example, where there aze industrial uses on
land zoned RCI-1, rezoning to I-1 is generally recommended. One exception is the area
immediately south of Harriet Island (currently zoned RCR-1 and RCI-1), which is part of a
larger area that has been selected by the Metropolitan Council as a Smart Growth Twin Cities
Opportunity Site. With the study currently underway, rezoning this area would be premature
at this time.

For all of these reasons, on January 26, 2001, the Saint Paul Planning Commission initiated
the Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Zoning Study. Minnesota State Statutes allow Saint Paul
to amend its Zoning Code (text and map) without the otherwise-required written consent of
the owners of two-thirds of the real estate within 100 feet of the affected parcels if two
conditions are met: 1) the azea to be considered for rezoning is at least 40 acres in size; and
2) the number of pazcel descriptions affected by the changes renders the obtaining of written
consent impractical. The Planning Commission determined that these two conditions were
met for those parceis currently zoned RCR-1, RCC-1 or RCI-1.
THE 40-ACRE STUDY
The Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Zoning Study proposes changes to the both the text and the
map o£the Zoning Code. The proposed map changes (i.e. rezonings) are attached and include:
Rezoning of most parcels currently zoned RCR-1, RCGl, or RCI-1 to reflect the
draft Mississippi River Corridor Plan, the Land Use Plan, and the Saint Paul on the
Misszssippi Development Framework.
NORTH BANK
Recommendation #1: Rezone the Upper Landing development site and other
parcels along Shepard Road (except Xcel Energy
property) to OS-2.
Recommendation #2:
Recommendation #3:
Rationale: Removes RCR-1 and RCI-1; allows new
development that matches the City's vision
for the Upper Landing.
Rezone Xcel Energy property to I-1.
Rationale: Removes RCI-1; rezones to allow the non-
developed portion of Xcel's property to continue
to have an industrial zoning designation.
Rezone parcels east of Chestnut south of Shepard
Road to R-4.
Rationale:
Removes RCR-1; allows development of new
Upper Landing Park and puts R-4 zoning in place
for a11 riverfront park space.

Rezone Raspberry Island to R-4.
Rarionale: Removes RCR-1 and RCC-1; rezones to allow
eacisting uses to remain as permitted uses.
Rezone Harriet Island to R-4.
Rationale: Removes RCR-1; rezones to a11ow existing
uses to remain as permitted uses.
Rezone former Department of Revenue site to OS-2.
Rationale:
The proposed text changes are attached and include:
Removes RCC-1; rezones to allow new
development compatible with the West Side
Flats urban village; allows housing at river's
edge.
2. Amending the height limits in OS-2 to reduce permitted building heights.
This recommendation acknowledges neighborhood concerns raised about the Upper
Landing, and the desire to preserve public views of the river. Similar concerns were
expressed by the West Side Citizens Organization at the time OS-2 was cxeated to apply
to the West Side Flats. Indeed, transitions between OS-2 and adjacent zoning districts
will be important anywhere in the city. The 40-Acre Study recommends that the
maximum building height allowed in the OS-2 district be lowered from 100 feet to 90
feet. The height aY which a Special Condition Use Permit would be required would
remain at 65 feet.
A draft set of recommendations was released by the Planning Commission on Mazch 9, 2001. A
wmmunity meeting sponsored by the West Side Citizens Organization (WSCO) was held on
February 13, 2001 to discuss the proposed Zoning Code changes, answer questions and receive
comments. Ciry staff also met with representatives of the Irvine Park neighborhood and the West
7`�/Fort Road Federation for the same purpose. The Planning Commission held its public hearing
on April 13, 2001 at which Irvine Pazk and Centex Muiti-Family Communities, L.P. spoke, and
WSCO submitted a resolution. We believe the 40-Acre Study recommendafions being

dune 6, 2001
Members of the Saint Paul City Council:
T'hank you for the oppoztunity to gzesent tfie testimony ofthe H'istaric Irvine Park Association
and the West SeventhlFort Road Federation. We are here today to ask the City Council to take
the advice oPthe City's planners and amend the proposed OS-2 wzring regviations to provide that
Special Conditional Use Pennits bc required for all buildiags taller than 45 feet in height. In
additioq we ask that 4he zoning code be amended to reflect more precise requirements €or vzew
impa� analysis and that the Plaaning Commission be required to make speci&c findings iegarding
a SCiJ� apglicant's compliance with the code.
While this issue is befora the Council in connection with the Ugper Landing project, be certain
that ttus ia a city-wide issue of great importance. The issue be£ore you today is what is the best
way to impiement the City's new "urban vii(age" zoauig regulations and how to balance the City's
desire for medium-dansiiy mixed use development with the sometimes competing interests of
estai>&shed, traditional neighhorhoods. The new OS-2 zone cvili not be limiied to the Upper
Landing or the West Side Flats. This is a zomng ctassification tk�at wlll likely be impiemented at
sites tYuoughout the city.
Our neighborhood groups suppozt the concept of mixed-use zoning dassif'icarions. Mix�d uses
aza impoitant to a vihrazrt community. Muced uses — when properly balanced — help make St.
Paul's neighborhoods great plac,�s to live. When this matter initially cazne to the Planning
Commissioq skaff recotnmended lowering the maximum height withouY a Special Coaditioual Use
Pezmit from 65 feet to 45 feet in tbe OS-2 zoning regulations. Following ths pubfic hearing and
in advance of the Planning Comaussion Neig6borhoods' Committee, staff raised its
recommendation to 55 feet. Both of these spproaches were rejectad by the Planning Comarission,
which mted to retain the 65-foot ttueshold.
We supp�rted — and continue to support — the initial reco�endation of PED in this matter,
lowerir�g the mxxirnum building height without a Speciai Condirional Use Pern�it from 65 feet to
45 feet. These aznendments make sense not only for the Upper Landing but also for the eutire
City because OS-2 by its nature will be used in plsces whece commercial, medium-density, and
high-density residentiai and cammercial devetopment adjoin traditional St. Paul neighborhoods.
QS-2 has been refened to as the "Urbmn V�lage" zoning classification_ The intenY of the OS-2
mmng district is "to provide £or developme.nt of compact, pedestrian-oriented urban villages ...
locaxed within a quarter mile of firgh-frequency transit service." OS-2 zaning may be appropriata

aIong Utaiversity Avenue at Dale (Pan-Asian Village), Lexington (fiome Depot �s housizag),
SnelSing and I-94; the Fra�:lin-University-Raymond area north of I-94 and on both s3des of
Ii'ighway 280; sates along Robert Street such as the West Side Flats; and sites along West Severnh
from Aavem to East Seventh at Arcade. OS-2 might have been the choice for Shepard-Davern if
it had been on the books at the time planning took place for the area OS-2 couId be used if an
urban village approach is deemed apprapriate £or the Hanun's Brewery area.
Whetber it is the West Side Flats, the Upper Landing, or the proposed Pan Asian Village,
buildings taller tkaan 45 feet warrant special consideratioq pazticulazly when they are adjacent to
traditional residential nei�iborhoods. As an e�mple, the four-story build'angs currenfly under
consttuction just blocks away from City �Iall in the North Quadrant ara 44-£eet fall and would not
require a SCITP under our proposal. The changes we urge are only triggered when buildiz�s are
taller than 45 feet. The only added requirement to the SCiTP process recommended by staff is
that a developer provides a view analysis as part of the application. Whi1e the views to and from
ttze bluf£neighborhoods are certainly preczous, the viecvs of the Capitol or the CathedraI also
command special consideration. Placing a 65-�oot building in close proximity to a traditional
neighborhood of story azzd a half, two-story and three-story buildin�s could result in the new
developmem negatively impactu�g the existing neighborhood. The zequized view analysis we urge
could result in modifications to building placement and design that malce the new neighborhoods a
better fit with the old.
The usefulness of requixin� a view analysis as part o£the SCUP application has been mixed. On
the Upper Landing, most ofthe energy and attention given to the subject focused on whether the
applicant had submitted enough informarion to comply with the code, rather than on the impact o£
the proposed bui(dings which require a SCITP. Very few of the renderings aztached to the
application accurately parttayed the impact on views. �ey vie�*�s and vistas were not identified.
To prevent problems like this froni recurring, the code should be changed to provide; Applicants
shall submit decailed plans of the proposed building(s), and included an the application shall be any
proposed cY�ange in grade &om existing grade (measured in feet); heights and widths of the
buildings, including the heights of all roof structures and any rooftop structures (measured in
feet); and the heights of signi6cant landmarks or geographic features (measured in feet). The
applicant should be required to provide before and after renderings of tbe site and should have to
demonsttate the imgact on views and vistas of any portion of the building tbat exceeds the SCUP
threshold.
By inctuding these requirements, the discussion can focus on whether a proposed development
blends with the suirounding neighborhoods or whether it is too disniptive. Applicants should be
required to identify l�ey pubtic views and vistas in concezt witfi the planning sta�' (and the
impaded neighborhnods). The Planning Conunission should be required to malang 5ndings

Dear ivls. Thompson:
Re: J 0 River Park Plaza (Comer of Robert and Pilimore)
This letter is �vritten in response to the Downtown Rivezfront 40-Acze Study. In general,
wa have certain rights regarding development of our above zeferenced property that were
negotiated just a few years ago. We expect that these wiil not change. In addition, we
have the following general concerns regarding the draft of the study we received on May
18, 2001:
1. Building heights. There aze structures in the area that aze of significant height.
2. "The seale, massing and materials of buildings sha116Q compatible with adjacent
sti�uctures in the disb�ict. Tlse base, middle and top of buildings shall be
architecturally delineated. " These are restrictive and �vill hinder development.
"The exterior surface of buildings slsa/l be articulated with vertical elements.
Windows, doors and other building openings shal! be square or vertical in
proportion. The firstfloor shaZl be articulated with windows, entrances, etc that
relate to the scale of a pedestrian at street level " These are restrictive and wili
hinder development.
4. "Parking shall be provided underground (below-grade) or to the rear of
buildings. Access to parking shall be at the rear or interior of the lot to the
gr•eatest extent possible. Garage doors for underground parking may face the
street. But shall be as unobbusive and pedestrian friendly as possible. " These
aze restrictive and will hinder development.
We appreciate your consideration of our concerns as the plan moves toward finalization.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: Clarification of terms used in ordinance adopting Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre
Study
To assist in your review of the Substitute Ordinance offered by Councilmember Coleman on
June 6, 2001 regarding the Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Study, I am providing a brief
definition of several terms used in Section 60.524(2).
View: what is seen from the view station point to the view terminus. Typically a narrower view
shed than that seen in a"vista."
Vista: a wider-angle view from a view station point. With a vista, the view terminus is not a
point or narrow "slice," but a wider full-horizon view.
View station point: where you are standing to study the view or vista; the "beginning" of the
view or vista.
View terminus: the end point of the view or vista; what you are looking at.
Landmazk: a structure (building, sign, public artwork, eta) that has historic, azchitectural,
social, cultural and/or neighborhood identity significance. In this definition, a
landmazk does not have to be officially designated as a heritage preservation site
by the Saint Paul Heritage Preservation Commission, but it may. It may simply
be a landmark that neighborhood residents identify as significant in its history,
identity, sense of place, etc.
Geographical feature: a physical feature (such as a blufF, Indian mound or watenvay) that defines
a development site, or is a prominent feature within or adjacent to a
development site.

use, as stated in the River Comdor Plan and Land Use Pian chapters of the City's Comprehensive Plan, and
the Saint Paul on the Mississippi Development Framework; and
WFIEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the "Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre
Zoning Study" on April 13, 2001 and, after considering public testimony, 1) found the "Downtown Riverfront
40-Acre Zoning Stud}� consistent with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Pian, and the Saint Paul on the
Mississippi Development Framework; and 2) recommended on April 27, 2001 ihat the Zoning Code be

INI'PIATING PROBLEM, ISSUE, OPPOR'PTJNITY (R`6o, W hay When, W here, W hy):
The Mississippi River Corridor Plan calls for replacing the RCR-1, RCC-1 and RCI-1 zoning districts as they are
ineffective, and in some cases, inconsistent with the City's vision (as stated in the Land Use Plan and the Saint Paul
on the Mississippi Development Framework) for xnixed-use urban villages along the downtown river&ont.
Rezoning the Upper Landing site will prepaze it for redevelopment. Beyond the Upper Landing, there are other
sites along the City's downtown riverfront that would benefit from having a zoning classification that is mare
consistent with existing and proposed uses, such as Harriet Island Regional Park. In response, the Plauiung
Commission initiated a 40-Acre Study in March, 2001 to recommend Zoning Code amendments in two area:
1) map amendments (rezonings) to facilitate redevelopment of the Upper Landing, and rezone other riverfront
parcels currendy zoned RCR-1, RCC-1, or RCI-1 to make zoning mare consistent with existing and proposed uses,
and 2) text amendments to reduce the maa�unum structure height in the OS-2 zoning district from 100 to 90 feet.
ADVANTAGESIFAPPROVEA�
The Upper Landing will be appropriately zoned to be redeveloped as a medium-density mixed-use neighborhood.
DISADVANTAGESIFAPPROVED:
Nane
DISADVANTAGES IF NOT APPROVED: ��
The Upper Landing will not be rezoned for redevelopment. ��, �!�

Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Zoning Study
I am attaching for your consideration the Planning Commission's recommendations regarding
the Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Zoning Study. A copy of the memo the Chair o£the
Commission sent to me is attached for your information and background. I think this memo very
clearly explains the impetus behind the 40-Acre Study, the key recommendations of the study
and their relationship ta the Saint Pau1 Comprehensive Plan, and the Saint Paul on the
Mississippi Development Framework.
I concur with the Planning Commission's findings and recommendations, and encourage the City
Council to adopt the recommendations of the Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Zoning Study.
Thank you.

Downtown River&ont 40-Acre Zoning Study
C� :1 lll
O� -3a�
Te[ephone: 65Z-266-6565
Facsimile: 651-128-3314
The Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Study has three goals: 1) to implement the Mississippi
River Corridor Plan, the Land Use Plan, and the Saint Paul on the Mississippi Development
Framework; 2} to prepare the Upper Landing site for redevelopment; and 3) to make zoning
more consistent with existing and proposed land uses along the City's riverfront.
The recently adopted Mississippi River Corridor Plan states that the RCR-1, RCC-1 and
RCI-1 zoning districts aze ineffective, and in some cases, inconsistent with the City's vision
(as stated in the Land Use Plan and the Saint Paul on the Mississippi Development
Framework) for mixed-use urban villages along the downtown Mississippi riverfront. No
changes are being proposed in this 40-Acre Study to the river corridor overlay adopted to
comply with the State's Critical Area requirements.
The Upper Landing site is currently zoned RCR-1. While this zoning category would allow
the type of residenual development envisioned in the Upper Landing Urban Design Master
Plan, it does not allow commercial uses. The intent of the zoning changes proposed for the
Upper Landing is to facilitate a finer-grained mix of uses within one large development site.
Beyond the Upper Landing, there are other sites along the City's downtown riverfront that
would benefit from having a zoning classification that is more consistent with existing and
proposed uses, such as Harriet Island Regional Pazk. It is the intent in this 40-Acre Study to
recommend rezoning these parcels to other zoning classifications that allow existing uses, so
that no non-confornung uses will be created. Far example, where there aze industrial uses on
land zoned RCI-1, rezoning to I-1 is generally recommended. One exception is the area
immediately south of Harriet Island (currently zoned RCR-1 and RCI-1), which is part of a
larger area that has been selected by the Metropolitan Council as a Smart Growth Twin Cities
Opportunity Site. With the study currently underway, rezoning this area would be premature
at this time.
o�-.s
Mayor Norm Coleman

For all of these reasons, on January 26, 2001, the Saint Paul Planning Commission initiated
the Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Zoning Study. Minnesota State Statutes allow Saint Paul
to amend its Zoning Code (text and map) without the otherwise-required written consent of
the owners of two-thirds of the real estate within 100 feet of the affected parcels if two
conditions are met: 1) the azea to be considered for rezoning is at least 40 acres in size; and
2) the number of pazcel descriptions affected by the changes renders the obtaining of written
consent impractical. The Planning Commission determined that these two conditions were
met for those parceis currently zoned RCR-1, RCC-1 or RCI-1.
THE 40-ACRE STUDY
The Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Zoning Study proposes changes to the both the text and the
map o£the Zoning Code. The proposed map changes (i.e. rezonings) are attached and include:
Rezoning of most parcels currently zoned RCR-1, RCGl, or RCI-1 to reflect the
draft Mississippi River Corridor Plan, the Land Use Plan, and the Saint Paul on the
Misszssippi Development Framework.
NORTH BANK
Recommendation #1: Rezone the Upper Landing development site and other
parcels along Shepard Road (except Xcel Energy
property) to OS-2.
Recommendation #2:
Recommendation #3:
Rationale: Removes RCR-1 and RCI-1; allows new
development that matches the City's vision
for the Upper Landing.
Rezone Xcel Energy property to I-1.
Rationale: Removes RCI-1; rezones to allow the non-
developed portion of Xcel's property to continue
to have an industrial zoning designation.
Rezone parcels east of Chestnut south of Shepard
Road to R-4.
Rationale:
Removes RCR-1; allows development of new
Upper Landing Park and puts R-4 zoning in place
for a11 riverfront park space.

Recommendation #6
Rezone Raspberry Island to R-4.
Rarionale: Removes RCR-1 and RCC-1; rezones to allow
eacisting uses to remain as permitted uses.
Rezone Harriet Island to R-4.
Rationale: Removes RCR-1; rezones to a11ow existing
uses to remain as permitted uses.
Rezone former Department of Revenue site to OS-2.
Rationale:
The proposed text changes are attached and include:
Removes RCC-1; rezones to allow new
development compatible with the West Side
Flats urban village; allows housing at river's
edge.
2. Amending the height limits in OS-2 to reduce permitted building heights.
This recommendation acknowledges neighborhood concerns raised about the Upper
Landing, and the desire to preserve public views of the river. Similar concerns were
expressed by the West Side Citizens Organization at the time OS-2 was cxeated to apply
to the West Side Flats. Indeed, transitions between OS-2 and adjacent zoning districts
will be important anywhere in the city. The 40-Acre Study recommends that the
maximum building height allowed in the OS-2 district be lowered from 100 feet to 90
feet. The height aY which a Special Condition Use Permit would be required would
remain at 65 feet.
A draft set of recommendations was released by the Planning Commission on Mazch 9, 2001. A
wmmunity meeting sponsored by the West Side Citizens Organization (WSCO) was held on
February 13, 2001 to discuss the proposed Zoning Code changes, answer questions and receive
comments. Ciry staff also met with representatives of the Irvine Park neighborhood and the West
7`�/Fort Road Federation for the same purpose. The Planning Commission held its public hearing
on April 13, 2001 at which Irvine Pazk and Centex Muiti-Family Communities, L.P. spoke, and
WSCO submitted a resolution. We believe the 40-Acre Study recommendafions being

dune 6, 2001
Members of the Saint Paul City Council:
T'hank you for the oppoztunity to gzesent tfie testimony ofthe H'istaric Irvine Park Association
and the West SeventhlFort Road Federation. We are here today to ask the City Council to take
the advice oPthe City's planners and amend the proposed OS-2 wzring regviations to provide that
Special Conditional Use Pennits bc required for all buildiags taller than 45 feet in height. In
additioq we ask that 4he zoning code be amended to reflect more precise requirements €or vzew
impa� analysis and that the Plaaning Commission be required to make speci&c findings iegarding
a SCiJ� apglicant's compliance with the code.
While this issue is befora the Council in connection with the Ugper Landing project, be certain
that ttus ia a city-wide issue of great importance. The issue be£ore you today is what is the best
way to impiement the City's new "urban vii(age" zoauig regulations and how to balance the City's
desire for medium-dansiiy mixed use development with the sometimes competing interests of
estai>&shed, traditional neighhorhoods. The new OS-2 zone cvili not be limiied to the Upper
Landing or the West Side Flats. This is a zomng ctassification tk�at wlll likely be impiemented at
sites tYuoughout the city.
Our neighborhood groups suppozt the concept of mixed-use zoning dassif'icarions. Mix�d uses
aza impoitant to a vihrazrt community. Muced uses — when properly balanced — help make St.
Paul's neighborhoods great plac,�s to live. When this matter initially cazne to the Planning
Commissioq skaff recotnmended lowering the maximum height withouY a Special Coaditioual Use
Pezmit from 65 feet to 45 feet in tbe OS-2 zoning regulations. Following ths pubfic hearing and
in advance of the Planning Comaussion Neig6borhoods' Committee, staff raised its
recommendation to 55 feet. Both of these spproaches were rejectad by the Planning Comarission,
which mted to retain the 65-foot ttueshold.
We supp�rted — and continue to support — the initial reco�endation of PED in this matter,
lowerir�g the mxxirnum building height without a Speciai Condirional Use Pern�it from 65 feet to
45 feet. These aznendments make sense not only for the Upper Landing but also for the eutire
City because OS-2 by its nature will be used in plsces whece commercial, medium-density, and
high-density residentiai and cammercial devetopment adjoin traditional St. Paul neighborhoods.
QS-2 has been refened to as the "Urbmn V�lage" zoning classification_ The intenY of the OS-2
mmng district is "to provide £or developme.nt of compact, pedestrian-oriented urban villages ...
locaxed within a quarter mile of firgh-frequency transit service." OS-2 zaning may be appropriata
ViZ 'd 6DIE'oN �1tlS0�C lOOZ '8 •un�

for sites in and azound t'3owntow� sucn as tne upper i.anding and 2cie iiorth:�ua6raru; si�es
aIong Utaiversity Avenue at Dale (Pan-Asian Village), Lexington (fiome Depot �s housizag),
SnelSing and I-94; the Fra�:lin-University-Raymond area north of I-94 and on both s3des of
Ii'ighway 280; sates along Robert Street such as the West Side Flats; and sites along West Severnh
from Aavem to East Seventh at Arcade. OS-2 might have been the choice for Shepard-Davern if
it had been on the books at the time planning took place for the area OS-2 couId be used if an
urban village approach is deemed apprapriate £or the Hanun's Brewery area.
Whetber it is the West Side Flats, the Upper Landing, or the proposed Pan Asian Village,
buildings taller tkaan 45 feet warrant special consideratioq pazticulazly when they are adjacent to
traditional residential nei�iborhoods. As an e�mple, the four-story build'angs currenfly under
consttuction just blocks away from City �Iall in the North Quadrant ara 44-£eet fall and would not
require a SCITP under our proposal. The changes we urge are only triggered when buildiz�s are
taller than 45 feet. The only added requirement to the SCiTP process recommended by staff is
that a developer provides a view analysis as part of the application. Whi1e the views to and from
ttze bluf£neighborhoods are certainly preczous, the viecvs of the Capitol or the CathedraI also
command special consideration. Placing a 65-�oot building in close proximity to a traditional
neighborhood of story azzd a half, two-story and three-story buildin�s could result in the new
developmem negatively impactu�g the existing neighborhood. The zequized view analysis we urge
could result in modifications to building placement and design that malce the new neighborhoods a
better fit with the old.
The usefulness of requixin� a view analysis as part o£the SCUP application has been mixed. On
the Upper Landing, most ofthe energy and attention given to the subject focused on whether the
applicant had submitted enough informarion to comply with the code, rather than on the impact o£
the proposed bui(dings which require a SCITP. Very few of the renderings aztached to the
application accurately parttayed the impact on views. �ey vie�*�s and vistas were not identified.
To prevent problems like this froni recurring, the code should be changed to provide; Applicants
shall submit decailed plans of the proposed building(s), and included an the application shall be any
proposed cY�ange in grade &om existing grade (measured in feet); heights and widths of the
buildings, including the heights of all roof structures and any rooftop structures (measured in
feet); and the heights of signi6cant landmarks or geographic features (measured in feet). The
applicant should be required to provide before and after renderings of tbe site and should have to
demonsttate the imgact on views and vistas of any portion of the building tbat exceeds the SCUP
threshold.
By inctuding these requirements, the discussion can focus on whether a proposed development
blends with the suirounding neighborhoods or whether it is too disniptive. Applicants should be
required to identify l�ey pubtic views and vistas in concezt witfi the planning sta�' (and the
impaded neighborhnods). The Planning Conunission should be required to malang 5ndings

recommend the SCITi'threshold be 45 feet and that the additional requ'uements outlined above be
incotporated iato the OS-2 zomqg code as part of the Upper Landing 40-Acre Study.
T'harilc you for your consideration and for the opportunity to be heard.

Dear ivls. Thompson:
Re: J 0 River Park Plaza (Comer of Robert and Pilimore)
This letter is �vritten in response to the Downtown Rivezfront 40-Acze Study. In general,
wa have certain rights regarding development of our above zeferenced property that were
negotiated just a few years ago. We expect that these wiil not change. In addition, we
have the following general concerns regarding the draft of the study we received on May
18, 2001:
1. Building heights. There aze structures in the area that aze of significant height.
2. "The seale, massing and materials of buildings sha116Q compatible with adjacent
sti�uctures in the disb�ict. Tlse base, middle and top of buildings shall be
architecturally delineated. " These are restrictive and �vill hinder development.
"The exterior surface of buildings slsa/l be articulated with vertical elements.
Windows, doors and other building openings shal! be square or vertical in
proportion. The firstfloor shaZl be articulated with windows, entrances, etc that
relate to the scale of a pedestrian at street level " These are restrictive and wili
hinder development.
4. "Parking shall be provided underground (below-grade) or to the rear of
buildings. Access to parking shall be at the rear or interior of the lot to the
gr•eatest extent possible. Garage doors for underground parking may face the
street. But shall be as unobbusive and pedestrian friendly as possible. " These
aze restrictive and will hinder development.
We appreciate your consideration of our concerns as the plan moves toward finalization.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: Clarification of terms used in ordinance adopting Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre
Study
To assist in your review of the Substitute Ordinance offered by Councilmember Coleman on
June 6, 2001 regarding the Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Study, I am providing a brief
definition of several terms used in Section 60.524(2).
View: what is seen from the view station point to the view terminus. Typically a narrower view
shed than that seen in a"vista."
Vista: a wider-angle view from a view station point. With a vista, the view terminus is not a
point or narrow "slice," but a wider full-horizon view.
View station point: where you are standing to study the view or vista; the "beginning" of the
view or vista.
View terminus: the end point of the view or vista; what you are looking at.
Landmazk: a structure (building, sign, public artwork, eta) that has historic, azchitectural,
social, cultural and/or neighborhood identity significance. In this definition, a
landmazk does not have to be officially designated as a heritage preservation site
by the Saint Paul Heritage Preservation Commission, but it may. It may simply
be a landmark that neighborhood residents identify as significant in its history,
identity, sense of place, etc.
Geographical feature: a physical feature (such as a blufF, Indian mound or watenvay) that defines
a development site, or is a prominent feature within or adjacent to a
development site.

INI'PIATING PROBLEM, ISSUE, OPPOR'PTJNITY (R`6o, W hay When, W here, W hy):
The Mississippi River Corridor Plan calls for replacing the RCR-1, RCC-1 and RCI-1 zoning districts as they are
ineffective, and in some cases, inconsistent with the City's vision (as stated in the Land Use Plan and the Saint Paul
on the Mississippi Development Framework) for xnixed-use urban villages along the downtown river&ont.
Rezoning the Upper Landing site will prepaze it for redevelopment. Beyond the Upper Landing, there are other
sites along the City's downtown riverfront that would benefit from having a zoning classification that is mare
consistent with existing and proposed uses, such as Harriet Island Regional Park. In response, the Plauiung
Commission initiated a 40-Acre Study in March, 2001 to recommend Zoning Code amendments in two area:
1) map amendments (rezonings) to facilitate redevelopment of the Upper Landing, and rezone other riverfront
parcels currendy zoned RCR-1, RCC-1, or RCI-1 to make zoning mare consistent with existing and proposed uses,
and 2) text amendments to reduce the maa�unum structure height in the OS-2 zoning district from 100 to 90 feet.
ADVANTAGESIFAPPROVEA�
The Upper Landing will be appropriately zoned to be redeveloped as a medium-density mixed-use neighborhood.
DISADVANTAGESIFAPPROVED:
Nane
DISADVANTAGES IF NOT APPROVED: ��
The Upper Landing will not be rezoned for redevelopment. ��, �!�

for future land use, as stated in the River Corridor Plan and and Use Plan chapters of the Ciry's
Comprehensive Plan, and the Saint Paul on the Mississip t Development Framework; and

Acre Zoning Study consistent with the Saint Paul omprehensive Plan, and the Saint Paul on the Mississippi
Development Framework; and 2) recommended n Apri127, 2001 that the Zoning Code be amended as per
the 40-Acre Study; and

Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Zoning Study
I am attaching for your consideration the Planning Commission's recommendations regarding
the Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Zoning Study. A copy of the memo the Chair o£the
Commission sent to me is attached for your information and background. I think this memo very
clearly explains the impetus behind the 40-Acre Study, the key recommendations of the study
and their relationship ta the Saint Pau1 Comprehensive Plan, and the Saint Paul on the
Mississippi Development Framework.
I concur with the Planning Commission's findings and recommendations, and encourage the City
Council to adopt the recommendations of the Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Zoning Study.
Thank you.

Downtown River&ont 40-Acre Zoning Study
C� :1 lll
O� -3a�
Te[ephone: 65Z-266-6565
Facsimile: 651-128-3314
The Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Study has three goals: 1) to implement the Mississippi
River Corridor Plan, the Land Use Plan, and the Saint Paul on the Mississippi Development
Framework; 2} to prepare the Upper Landing site for redevelopment; and 3) to make zoning
more consistent with existing and proposed land uses along the City's riverfront.
The recently adopted Mississippi River Corridor Plan states that the RCR-1, RCC-1 and
RCI-1 zoning districts aze ineffective, and in some cases, inconsistent with the City's vision
(as stated in the Land Use Plan and the Saint Paul on the Mississippi Development
Framework) for mixed-use urban villages along the downtown Mississippi riverfront. No
changes are being proposed in this 40-Acre Study to the river corridor overlay adopted to
comply with the State's Critical Area requirements.
The Upper Landing site is currently zoned RCR-1. While this zoning category would allow
the type of residenual development envisioned in the Upper Landing Urban Design Master
Plan, it does not allow commercial uses. The intent of the zoning changes proposed for the
Upper Landing is to facilitate a finer-grained mix of uses within one large development site.
Beyond the Upper Landing, there are other sites along the City's downtown riverfront that
would benefit from having a zoning classification that is more consistent with existing and
proposed uses, such as Harriet Island Regional Pazk. It is the intent in this 40-Acre Study to
recommend rezoning these parcels to other zoning classifications that allow existing uses, so
that no non-confornung uses will be created. Far example, where there aze industrial uses on
land zoned RCI-1, rezoning to I-1 is generally recommended. One exception is the area
immediately south of Harriet Island (currently zoned RCR-1 and RCI-1), which is part of a
larger area that has been selected by the Metropolitan Council as a Smart Growth Twin Cities
Opportunity Site. With the study currently underway, rezoning this area would be premature
at this time.

For all of these reasons, on January 26, 2001, the Saint Paul Planning Commission initiated
the Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Zoning Study. Minnesota State Statutes allow Saint Paul
to amend its Zoning Code (text and map) without the otherwise-required written consent of
the owners of two-thirds of the real estate within 100 feet of the affected parcels if two
conditions are met: 1) the azea to be considered for rezoning is at least 40 acres in size; and
2) the number of pazcel descriptions affected by the changes renders the obtaining of written
consent impractical. The Planning Commission determined that these two conditions were
met for those parceis currently zoned RCR-1, RCC-1 or RCI-1.
THE 40-ACRE STUDY
The Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Zoning Study proposes changes to the both the text and the
map o£the Zoning Code. The proposed map changes (i.e. rezonings) are attached and include:
Rezoning of most parcels currently zoned RCR-1, RCGl, or RCI-1 to reflect the
draft Mississippi River Corridor Plan, the Land Use Plan, and the Saint Paul on the
Misszssippi Development Framework.

Recommendation #1: Rezone the Upper Landing development site and other
parcels along Shepard Road (except Xcel Energy
property) to OS-2.
Recommendation #2:
Recommendation #3:
Rationale: Removes RCR-1 and RCI-1; allows new
development that matches the City's vision
for the Upper Landing.
Rezone Xcel Energy property to I-1.
Rationale: Removes RCI-1; rezones to allow the non-
developed portion of Xcel's property to continue
to have an industrial zoning designation.
Rezone parcels east of Chestnut south of Shepard
Road to R-4.
Rationale:
Removes RCR-1; allows development of new
Upper Landing Park and puts R-4 zoning in place
for a11 riverfront park space.

Recommendation #4:
Recommendation #5:
Recommendation #6
Rezone Raspberry Island to R-4.
Rarionale: Removes RCR-1 and RCC-1; rezones to allow
eacisting uses to remain as permitted uses.
Rezone Harriet Island to R-4.
Rationale: Removes RCR-1; rezones to a11ow existing
uses to remain as permitted uses.
Rezone former Department of Revenue site to OS-2.
Rationale:
The proposed text changes are attached and include:
Removes RCC-1; rezones to allow new
development compatible with the West Side
Flats urban village; allows housing at river's
edge.
2. Amending the height limits in OS-2 to reduce permitted building heights.
This recommendation acknowledges neighborhood concerns raised about the Upper
Landing, and the desire to preserve public views of the river. Similar concerns were
expressed by the West Side Citizens Organization at the time OS-2 was cxeated to apply
to the West Side Flats. Indeed, transitions between OS-2 and adjacent zoning districts
will be important anywhere in the city. The 40-Acre Study recommends that the
maximum building height allowed in the OS-2 district be lowered from 100 feet to 90
feet. The height aY which a Special Condition Use Permit would be required would
remain at 65 feet.
A draft set of recommendations was released by the Planning Commission on Mazch 9, 2001. A
wmmunity meeting sponsored by the West Side Citizens Organization (WSCO) was held on
February 13, 2001 to discuss the proposed Zoning Code changes, answer questions and receive
comments. Ciry staff also met with representatives of the Irvine Park neighborhood and the West
7`�/Fort Road Federation for the same purpose. The Planning Commission held its public hearing
on April 13, 2001 at which Irvine Pazk and Centex Muiti-Family Communities, L.P. spoke, and
WSCO submitted a resolution. We believe the 40-Acre Study recommendafions being

Members of the Saint Paul City Council:
T'hank you for the oppoztunity to gzesent tfie testimony ofthe H'istaric Irvine Park Association
and the West SeventhlFort Road Federation. We are here today to ask the City Council to take
the advice oPthe City's planners and amend the proposed OS-2 wzring regviations to provide that
Special Conditional Use Pennits bc required for all buildiags taller than 45 feet in height. In
additioq we ask that 4he zoning code be amended to reflect more precise requirements €or vzew
impa� analysis and that the Plaaning Commission be required to make speci&c findings iegarding
a SCiJ� apglicant's compliance with the code.
While this issue is befora the Council in connection with the Ugper Landing project, be certain
that ttus ia a city-wide issue of great importance. The issue be£ore you today is what is the best
way to impiement the City's new "urban vii(age" zoauig regulations and how to balance the City's
desire for medium-dansiiy mixed use development with the sometimes competing interests of
estai>&shed, traditional neighhorhoods. The new OS-2 zone cvili not be limiied to the Upper
Landing or the West Side Flats. This is a zomng ctassification tk�at wlll likely be impiemented at
sites tYuoughout the city.
Our neighborhood groups suppozt the concept of mixed-use zoning dassif'icarions. Mix�d uses
aza impoitant to a vihrazrt community. Muced uses — when properly balanced — help make St.
Paul's neighborhoods great plac,�s to live. When this matter initially cazne to the Planning
Commissioq skaff recotnmended lowering the maximum height withouY a Special Coaditioual Use
Pezmit from 65 feet to 45 feet in tbe OS-2 zoning regulations. Following ths pubfic hearing and
in advance of the Planning Comaussion Neig6borhoods' Committee, staff raised its
recommendation to 55 feet. Both of these spproaches were rejectad by the Planning Comarission,
which mted to retain the 65-foot ttueshold.
We supp�rted — and continue to support — the initial reco�endation of PED in this matter,
lowerir�g the mxxirnum building height without a Speciai Condirional Use Pern�it from 65 feet to
45 feet. These aznendments make sense not only for the Upper Landing but also for the eutire
City because OS-2 by its nature will be used in plsces whece commercial, medium-density, and
high-density residentiai and cammercial devetopment adjoin traditional St. Paul neighborhoods.
QS-2 has been refened to as the "Urbmn V�lage" zoning classification_ The intenY of the OS-2
mmng district is "to provide £or developme.nt of compact, pedestrian-oriented urban villages ...
locaxed within a quarter mile of firgh-frequency transit service." OS-2 zaning may be appropriata
ViZ 'd 6DIE'oN �1tlS0�C lOOZ '8 •un�

for sites in and azound t'3owntow� sucn as tne upper i.anding and 2cie iiorth:�ua6raru; si�es
aIong Utaiversity Avenue at Dale (Pan-Asian Village), Lexington (fiome Depot �s housizag),
SnelSing and I-94; the Fra�:lin-University-Raymond area north of I-94 and on both s3des of
Ii'ighway 280; sates along Robert Street such as the West Side Flats; and sites along West Severnh
from Aavem to East Seventh at Arcade. OS-2 might have been the choice for Shepard-Davern if
it had been on the books at the time planning took place for the area OS-2 couId be used if an
urban village approach is deemed apprapriate £or the Hanun's Brewery area.
Whetber it is the West Side Flats, the Upper Landing, or the proposed Pan Asian Village,
buildings taller tkaan 45 feet warrant special consideratioq pazticulazly when they are adjacent to
traditional residential nei�iborhoods. As an e�mple, the four-story build'angs currenfly under
consttuction just blocks away from City �Iall in the North Quadrant ara 44-£eet fall and would not
require a SCITP under our proposal. The changes we urge are only triggered when buildiz�s are
taller than 45 feet. The only added requirement to the SCiTP process recommended by staff is
that a developer provides a view analysis as part of the application. Whi1e the views to and from
ttze bluf£neighborhoods are certainly preczous, the viecvs of the Capitol or the CathedraI also
command special consideration. Placing a 65-�oot building in close proximity to a traditional
neighborhood of story azzd a half, two-story and three-story buildin�s could result in the new
developmem negatively impactu�g the existing neighborhood. The zequized view analysis we urge
could result in modifications to building placement and design that malce the new neighborhoods a
better fit with the old.
The usefulness of requixin� a view analysis as part o£the SCUP application has been mixed. On
the Upper Landing, most ofthe energy and attention given to the subject focused on whether the
applicant had submitted enough informarion to comply with the code, rather than on the impact o£
the proposed bui(dings which require a SCITP. Very few of the renderings aztached to the
application accurately parttayed the impact on views. �ey vie�*�s and vistas were not identified.
To prevent problems like this froni recurring, the code should be changed to provide; Applicants
shall submit decailed plans of the proposed building(s), and included an the application shall be any
proposed cY�ange in grade &om existing grade (measured in feet); heights and widths of the
buildings, including the heights of all roof structures and any rooftop structures (measured in
feet); and the heights of signi6cant landmarks or geographic features (measured in feet). The
applicant should be required to provide before and after renderings of tbe site and should have to
demonsttate the imgact on views and vistas of any portion of the building tbat exceeds the SCUP
threshold.
By inctuding these requirements, the discussion can focus on whether a proposed development
blends with the suirounding neighborhoods or whether it is too disniptive. Applicants should be
required to identify l�ey pubtic views and vistas in concezt witfi the planning sta�' (and the
impaded neighborhnods). The Planning Conunission should be required to malang 5ndings

Reducing the threshol3 height from 65 feet to 45 feret for a SCUI' w�l pzotect ea+astin$

Defining whst is required in a view anatysis wiU stceamline the process and allow the Planning
Commission to focus on the impact of the proposed bwlding heights. For these reasons, we
recommend the SCITi'threshold be 45 feet and that the additional requ'uements outlined above be
incotporated iato the OS-2 zomqg code as part of the Upper Landing 40-Acre Study.
T'harilc you for your consideration and for the opportunity to be heard.

Dear ivls. Thompson:
Re: J 0 River Park Plaza (Comer of Robert and Pilimore)
This letter is �vritten in response to the Downtown Rivezfront 40-Acze Study. In general,
wa have certain rights regarding development of our above zeferenced property that were
negotiated just a few years ago. We expect that these wiil not change. In addition, we
have the following general concerns regarding the draft of the study we received on May
18, 2001:
1. Building heights. There aze structures in the area that aze of significant height.
2. "The seale, massing and materials of buildings sha116Q compatible with adjacent
sti�uctures in the disb�ict. Tlse base, middle and top of buildings shall be
architecturally delineated. " These are restrictive and �vill hinder development.
"The exterior surface of buildings slsa/l be articulated with vertical elements.
Windows, doors and other building openings shal! be square or vertical in
proportion. The firstfloor shaZl be articulated with windows, entrances, etc that
relate to the scale of a pedestrian at street level " These are restrictive and wili
hinder development.
4. "Parking shall be provided underground (below-grade) or to the rear of
buildings. Access to parking shall be at the rear or interior of the lot to the
gr•eatest extent possible. Garage doors for underground parking may face the
street. But shall be as unobbusive and pedestrian friendly as possible. " These
aze restrictive and will hinder development.
We appreciate your consideration of our concerns as the plan moves toward finalization.

SUBJECT: Clarification of terms used in ordinance adopting Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre
Study
To assist in your review of the Substitute Ordinance offered by Councilmember Coleman on
June 6, 2001 regarding the Downtown Riverfront 40-Acre Study, I am providing a brief
definition of several terms used in Section 60.524(2).
View: what is seen from the view station point to the view terminus. Typically a narrower view
shed than that seen in a"vista."
Vista: a wider-angle view from a view station point. With a vista, the view terminus is not a
point or narrow "slice," but a wider full-horizon view.
View station point: where you are standing to study the view or vista; the "beginning" of the
view or vista.
View terminus: the end point of the view or vista; what you are looking at.
Landmazk: a structure (building, sign, public artwork, eta) that has historic, azchitectural,
social, cultural and/or neighborhood identity significance. In this definition, a
landmazk does not have to be officially designated as a heritage preservation site
by the Saint Paul Heritage Preservation Commission, but it may. It may simply
be a landmark that neighborhood residents identify as significant in its history,
identity, sense of place, etc.
Geographical feature: a physical feature (such as a blufF, Indian mound or watenvay) that defines
a development site, or is a prominent feature within or adjacent to a
development site.
