AGENDA ITEM: DISCUSS THE APPLICATION OF NEW ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
STANDARDS IN THE GENERAL INDUSTRIAL (I-1) USE DISTRICT.
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to discuss the first possible application of
the newly amended Architectural Design standards in City Code as it pertains
to pole buildings in the General Industrial Use District (I-1) by a conditional use
permit.
History
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 99.02 on February 16, 1999, whereby
it repealed certain City Codes, including Section 4-7-4 regarding the approv-
al/use of “Pole Buildings”. However, staff is not certain as to why past devel-
opers in Deerfield were not able to construct pole-type building construction, if
in fact, Section 4-7-4 had been repealed. In other words, if the existing owners
of the Condo industrial building at 17178 Adelmann Street said that they had
previously wanted to build a pole building structure, staff is assuming that a
previous interpretation of the city’s design standards was based on building
construction material versus only “exterior surface materials”, which is the cur-
rent ordinance language (Subsection 1107.2202(6)).
Then, on June 22, 2015, the City Council approved amendments to Subsec-
tions 1102.1403 and 1107.2200 (see Attachments 1 and 2). The Planning
Commission recommended amendments after a public hearing on November
4, 2014, which were subsequently modified by the Council on June 22.
Current Circumstances
The city has not yet “tested the waters” with the newly revised Architectural
Design standards. An owner of property within the Deerfield Business Park is
asking for preliminary input on a proposed project to be located on a 7-acre
site, which is zoned General Industrial (I-1), as shown in Attachment 3.
Newly adopted conditions within amended Subsection 1102.1403 relate to a
Pole Building in the I-1 District:
a. The pole building will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood
or district.
b. At least sixty (60) percent of the use of the pole building will be designed
for large space uses, including but not limited to warehouse, large vehicle
or equipment repair and building materials.
2
c. The pole building will be designed to be durable for industrial uses.
d. Pole buildings are not eligible to receive City public financing assistance
related to economic development.
Assuming the building meets conditions b, c and d, the Planning Commission
is being asked to provide input on condition “a” related to the “essential charac-
ter” of the Deerfield Business Park. Here is a summary of information that may
help evaluate the area in order lead to a conclusion:
• The industrial (I-1) land area is 26.9 acres, and the business park (C-3)
land area is 16.8 acres.
• Industrial and business park developed parcels total 15.2 acres (35%)
compared to vacant parcels that total 28.5 acres (65%).
• The developed industrial parcels total 10.1 acres (38%) compared to
the vacant industrial parcels that total 16.8 acres (62%).
• The developed business park parcels total 5.1 acres (30%) compared
to the vacant business park parcels that total 11.7 acres (70%).
• The proposed pole building development on Parcel A has a county es-
timated market value for land-only of $539,100, or about $77,000 per
acre.
• The only industrial pole building in Deerfield is on Parcel C (Allied Ex-
cavating), which has a county estimated market value of $350,000 for
land and building, or about $291,650 per acre.
• The adjacent developed industrial property southeast of Parcel A has a
county estimated market value of $1,325,000 for land and building, or
about $378,570 per acre (picture shown in Attachment 4).
• Adjacent industrial Parcel B to the northwest has been approved by the
city for an 8,000 square feet industrial building for a contractor (Stanley
& Wencl) that will be constructed of precast concrete panels as shown
in Attachment 4. Construction is anticipated in 2016.
Conclusion
Since the condition related to altering the essential character of the neighbor-
hood or district is somewhat subjective, the Planning Commission is being
asked to provide their input on this proposal. The building would likely look
similar to the Allied Excavating building as well as one recently built on Wel-
come Avenue (see Attachment 4). The property owner would appreciate input
before he expends money on plans and the required CUP review process.
The owner/developer would also like the Commission’s input on Subsection
1107.2202(6)(a) related to “Permitted Exterior Materials”. A provision states
that any individual wall not permanently visible from off the site may allow only
25% (versus 75%) to be brick, stone, stucco/EIFS, concrete panels, decorative
block or glass. The side of the property facing southwesterly toward the exist-
ing townhomes has woods established along the property line. Does this con-
stitute a visual impediment that would allow the 25% material allowance?
ISSUES: During the public hearing process back in November of 2014, the Planning
Commission received testimony from existing business in Deerfield that did not
3
want more pole buildings near them. At least one vacant property owner ex-
pressed support for less costly forms of construction for industrial buildings,
such as a pole building. Overall, architectural design standards are typically
approved in order to promote higher quality buildings that equate to higher
market values established by the county. This generally results in higher prop-
erty taxes and city revenue. On the other hand, restricting the type of building
may further delay building construction on vacant industrial lots.

development in the City to meet certain minimum architectural design standards.
Through a 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;
Preserve the character of residential neighborhoods and the City's
commercial and industrial areas;
Maintain and improve the City tax base;
Reduce the impacts of dissimilar land uses;

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
bufferyard 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. Classes of Permitted Exterior Materials: The following materials shall
be allowed as exterior finishes for all buildings: For the purpose of this
subsection, materials shall be divided into Class I, Class II and Class III
categories as follows:
Class I: Brick, natural stone, stucco or EIFS synthetic stucco (provided
that the material shall not be allowed within 4 feet from grade) or EIFS,
Zoning Ordinance
City of Prior Lake
June 1, 2009 1107/p3
copper, exposed aggregate architectural concrete precast panels,
burnished concrete block, integral colored impregnated decorative split
face (rock face) block, exposed aggregate concrete 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. are Class I
exterior building materials on buildings other than those used as
dwellings which contain eight or fewer dwelling units. Synthetic stucco or
EIFS shall be installed a minimum of four feet above the foundation of the
building. Wood, fiber cement, higher impact rated vinyl siding (at least
.044 inches in thickness) and prefinished metal are Class I materials on
residential buildings containing eight or fewer dwelling units in addition to
the other Class I materials listed in this subsection. Cast-in-place, precast
concrete panels, provided the surfaces have been integrally treated with
an applied decorative material or texture are considered Class I materials
in the I-1 and C-3 district in addition to the other Class I materials listed in
this subsection.
Class II: Cast-in-place or precast concrete panels, provided the surfaces
have been integrally treated with an applied decorative material or
texture, artificial stone, prefinished metal and fiber cement siding.
Class III: Unpainted or surface painted concrete block (scored or
unscored), unpainted or surface painted plain or ribbed concrete panels,
wood and unfinished or surface painted metal.
b. Minimum Use of Class I Prohibited Exterior Materials Required. The
following materials shall not be allowed as exterior finishes for all
buildings: At least 60% of each building face visible from off-site must be
constructed with Class I materials, except as permitted by subsection
1107.2202(6,d).
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. Maximum Use of Class III Materials Permitted
Not more than 10% of each building face visible from off-site may be of
Class III materials. Portions of buildings not visible from off the site may
be constructed of greater percentages of Class II or Class III materials if
the structure otherwise conforms to all City ordinances. The mixture of
building materials must be compatibly integrated.
c.d. Buildings in the General Industrial Use District Long Walls: No wall
shall exceed 100 feet in length without visual relief, defined as the
Zoning Ordinance
City of Prior Lake
June 1, 2009 1107/p4
incorporation of design features such as large doors, windows, horizontal
and vertical patterns, contrasting materials, or varying wall depths. Class
I materials may be reduced to a minimum of 25% for building walls in the
I-1 Use District which are not facing or located on a principal arterial,
minor arterial, major collector, or adjacent to or across from any "R" Use
District, provided that the remaining materials are functionally and durably
equal to a Class I material as certified by the developer's architect or the
manufacturer and the architectural design and site plan meet the
following minimum criteria:
The exposed height of the building wall shall not exceed 15 feet.
The number of required plants shall be increased by 20% and the
size of 20% of the ornamental trees installed shall be increased to 3
1/2 caliper inches.
A minimum of 15% of the building facade must be windows or glass
spandrels.
d.e. 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. In addition to the minimum criteria, the
following additional architectural design elements may be considered in
determining whether to permit the reduced use of Class I materials: building
bulk, general massing, roof treatment, proportion of openings, facade design
elements and variation, fenestration, compatibility of materials, color, and
texture. Site plan design elements which will be considered in determining
whether to reduce the Class I building material requirement include quantity,
quality, variation, compatibility, and size of plant materials, landscape berms and
screening walls. Also considered will be the overall harmony and unity of the
various elements of the architectural design and site plan within the site and also
within the larger context of the area or corridor.
