comprehensive review of both functional and aesthetic aspects of new or intensified developments,
the City needs to accomplish all of the following objectives:
Implement the goals and policies set out in its Comprehensive Plan;

Phone 952.447.9800 / Fax 952.447.4245 / www.cityofpriorlake.com
Discourage the development of identical and similar building facades which detract from
the character and appearance of the neighborhood;
Preserve the natural and built environment; and
Minimize adverse impacts on adjacent properties from buildings which are or may
become unsightly.
1107.2202 Standards. The provisions in Subsection 1107.2202 apply to commercial, industrial,
multi-family residential (projects of 3 or more dwelling units per building), public and institutional uses.
These provisions apply to all new buildings. Additions to existing buildings that exceed 50%
expansion of the existing building area, shall require that the existing building and the addition both
meet the provisions of Subsection 1107.2202(6). When only the building’s exterior is being
renovated, the renovations may replace existing materials with new like-materials, or with permitted
exterior materials identified in (6) of this Subsection. Buildings located within the Town Center (TC)
Use District shall follow design standards identified in Subsection 1102.809.
(1) Roofs that are exposed or an integral part of the building aesthetics shall be constructed only of
commercial grade asphalt shingles, wood shingles, standing seam prefinished metal, concrete, slate,
tile or copper. The visual impact of rooftop equipment shall be minimized using one of the following
methods:
A parapet wall.
A fence or screen, the height of which extends at least 1 foot above the top of the rooftop
equipment and incorporates the architectural features of the building.
The rooftop equipment shall be painted to match the roof facing material of building.
(2) The development must locate the noise-producing portions of the development, such as loading
docks, outside storage and outside activity away from adjacent residential areas.
(3) All outside storage areas shall be screened to minimize off-site views using a buffer yard type "C" or
greater, as defined by Subsection 1107.2005.
(4) Utility service structures such as utility meters, utility lines, transformers, generators, above ground
tanks, fuel canisters, refuse handling, loading docks, maintenance structures, and other ancillary
equipment must be inside a building or be entirely screened from off-site views.
(5) All utility services shall be underground except as provided elsewhere in this Ordinance.
(6) Exterior surface materials of buildings shall be subject to the following regulations:
a. Permitted Exterior Materials: The following materials shall be allowed as exterior finishes
for all buildings:
Brick, stone, stucco or EIFS synthetic stucco (provided that the material shall not be allowed
within 4 feet from grade) architectural concrete precast panels, color impregnated decorative
block, and glass. Architectural precast panels may be painted to the manufacturer’s painting
specifications.
Wood, cement siding or prefinished metal are allowed, provided that no more than 25% of
any individual exterior wall shall consist of this material. For any individual exterior wall not
permanently visible from off the site, including accessory structures, no more than 75% may
be constructed of these materials. Masonry materials such as brick, stone and block may
be used as face or veneer, adhered or anchored, as long as the exterior finish remains
durable with equal high architectural quality.
b. Prohibited Exterior Materials. The following materials shall not be allowed as exterior
finishes for all buildings:
Unadorned pre-stressed concrete panels, non-decorative concrete block, sheet metal,
corrugated or unfinished metal (except copper or other metal specifically engineered for
exterior architectural use).
c. Long Walls: No wall shall exceed 100 feet in length without visual relief, defined as the
incorporation of design features such as large doors, windows, horizontal and vertical
patterns, contrasting materials, or varying wall depths.
d. Use of Non-Listed Materials. The Zoning Administrator may permit an exterior surface
material not identified in Subsection 1107.2200(6), provided the material is a result of new
technology and/or the material is equal to or better in quality, appearance and durability than
those materials identified. The applicant must submit the manufacturer’s warranty of the non-
listed material. This subsection does not intend to reduce the percentage of required
materials.
(7) Pole buildings shall not be permitted in all Commercial Use Districts. Pole buildings may be permitted
in an Industrial Use District by Conditional Use Permit. Pole buildings are defined as post frame
construction in which poles or timbers are typically inserted into the ground vertically and typically
spaced 6-10 feet apart with lateral supports that provide the primary roof support system and
structure foundation. Additions to existing pole buildings are permitted, not to exceed 50% of the
existing building area.
Typical Pole Building Design
(8) Building design shall include a minimum of two of the following design elements:
a. At least two contrasting, yet complementary exterior building colors, accent materials, or
material textures;
b. At least 25% window coverage on each building wall facing a street;
c. A combination of horizontal and vertical design features;
d. Irregular building or wall shapes; and/or
e. Other unique architectural features in the overall building design.
(9) In any instance where the Zoning Administrator denies a permit or a request for approval of building
materials or building design, the applicant may submit an appeal of the interpretation, based upon
the plans and other papers on file in the office of the Zoning Administrator, to the Board of Adjustment
without payment of additional fees of any kind. Appeals shall be considered according to the
procedure outlined in Subsection 1109.300.
This ordinance shall become effective from and after its passage and publication.
