RE: Oak Park Heights Design Guidelines Update
FILE NO: 802
Gear Erie:
As you are aware, the city Council has requested that our office and the Planning
Commission review and update the Design Guidelines for Oak Park Heights. The
Design Guidelines were created in 1995 and have guided commercial and industrial
development projects throughout the community. Most of the development of the
commercial areas along Highway 36 and the business /warehousing area west of
Highway 5 have been influenced by these guidelines. While these guidelines have
served the City well, it has been recognized that they are difficult to apply, especially as
it relates to the architectural materials section. Additionally, they do not provide enough
flexibility or encourage more innovative building styles and materials that may be
desired in the community. Overall, the guidelines should be updated to reflect a
community that is almost developed and emphasize requirements for redevelopment as
opposed to new development.
We propose that the Planning Commission work with NAC staff at their regular
meetings in reviewing and completing a new draft. we would proposed the following
work program:
First Meeting: Review existing Design Guidelines. Review guidelines and
standards from other cities.
Second Meeting: Review draft [design Guidelines. Make changes and revisions.
Third fleeting: Review final draft Design Guidelines at a workshop with city
Council.
Fourth fleeting: Public Hearing and recommendation to city council.
Fifth Meeting: city Council approval.

the taking less the amount of the taking. A minimum setback for primary and accessary
structures shall be ten feet (10'). A minimum setback for parking shall be trve feet (5').
3. Maximum reduction in required green area for the total land area considered by a,
variance shall be the percent required by section 10-30A -8 of this title at the time of the taking,
less the percent removed as a result of the taking. Nlinimurn required green area shall not be less
than ten percent (10 %) of the total lot area after taking.
4. Maximum reduction in required parking spaces considered by a variance shall be only the
spaces eliminated as a direct result of the taking. If a property has an approved proof of parking
plan with spaces not yet utilized as parking at the time of the taking, the owner shall install such

P urpose and Backg round In general, buildings within New Hope should provide interest at the street level, create distinct street corners,
demonstrate the use of high quality materials, g q � al 3 and enhance the overall pedestrian experience on the street.
The New Hope Design Guidelines serve three primary functions:
1) To guide developers or property owners proposing expansions, renovations, or new construction of buildings
or parking in commercial, industrial, and multifamily residential areas.
2) To facilitate dialog between the city and developers /property owners to achieve creative design solutions.
3) To assist city officials commissioners, and staff in reviewing development proposals.
The guidelines, by definition, are a set of recommended design goals for new and existing buildings and sites. The
guidelines set forth the genera! desired character for commercial, industrial, and multifamily residential properties,
suggesting ov=erall character without dictating specific design requirements.
The primary purpose of the guidelines is to
o reinforce the community's vision for development
* Foster high quality architecture and site planning
* Encourage creativity in accomplishing design goals
e Protect public and private investment in buildings and infrastructure
2 ....... ..... ... March 24, 2008
................
........... ............................... .
Purpose and Background Implementation
The guidelines wilI be linked to New Hope's Comprehensive Flan and Zoning Ordinance. Compliance with the guidelines
w i l l be determined through the city's design review process.
Applicabilit
The guidelines apply to all commercial, industrial mixed -use, and /or multifamily residential buildings with 3 or more
units and to the following activities:
® New construction
Any exterior changes
in Any development or expansion of parking areas that would result in a lot with more than 4 parking
spaces
If New Hope City Code does not require review by the Planning Commission anchor approval by the City Council for a
given alteration, such as repainting, facade changes, or expansions of no significant size (less than 25 percent building),
the alternation may be handled administratively, as determined by the city manager or designee. The administrative
review process might involve review by the city's design and review committee. The guidelines apply only to the buildings
or site elements being developed or altered.
The guidelines are mandator however, it is understood there will often be many ways to achieve the intent of the
guidelines. The city may permit alternative approaches that, in its determination, meet the objectives of the design
guidelines. The city may also waive any guideline when specific physical conditions of the site or building would make
compliance difficult or inappropriate.

Bass Lake road, 36th Avenue, and Medicine Lake road.
4) The industrial District includes all industrial properties in the city. Most of the industrial uses are concentrated
in three areas: 1) Science Industry Park located in the nortNtiest portion of the city around Science Center Drive;
21 along the C.P rail line running east and west across the city's northern portion; and 3 along the C.P rail line
running north and south across the city's eastern portion.

Abuiiding's mofline can establish its individuality and interest within the context of commercial or industrial areas and variety
in rooflines from building to building can add visual interest to mixed-use and residential areas. Some suggested techniques
that add interest include varying heights and cornices within an otherwise unified design scheme, using roofline changes to �
note entrances or commercial baya, and establishing contrasting rocfl|nooat street corners.

Streets serge as the stage where people interact with the public realm. The way in which a street is designed often
determines the level and quality of this interaction. The streets located within the commercial and industrial areas in
New Hope establish the city's identity and open space framework.
Each street in the city has a different type of stre tscape to establish the character of the street and assist in navigation.
The term "streetscape" refers to an area's physical setting, which is shaped by the relationships and design of build-
ings, parking lotsIstructures, streets, sidewalks and landscaping, as well as street furniture such as lamps, benches,
planters. klosks bus shelters, and public art. A hlelrarchv of str etscape treatments will highlight and respond to the

S ormwat r Treatments Objective: To promote . tormw t r systems designed as amenities that serve as attractive
enh ancements for the common �4 svil ile achieving the city's water quality standards.
I nnovatWe star mwater m2nagement strategies are strongly encouraged. S evera11nnovative technologies are available to
improve storm%iater quality, while offer* benefits such as i��� }��ring peak flow elocity and volume, lessening possi�iii�ies
of erosion, filtering pollutants, silt, phosphorous and nitrogen, and reusing water for irrigating parrs and gardens rather
than installing expensive systems. Stormwater treatment strategies should also serve other purpose; such as creating
community amenities that enhance common spaces, supporting blodi ersity and reducing the capital costs for municipal
infrastructure. Ali storm water strategies employed in the city must meet the vifater quality standards of the New Hope
Surface ', later Management Plan.
\A/hen designing a storm water system for properties in New Hope the following site planning principles should be con -
sidered.
M i n mime Tota I I m pe ry i o us area- l mpervious areas prevent i nfiltration of rai nfall and act as poi luta nt collectors
between storms, while =vegetated surfaces tend to treat or uptake pollutants. T otal innpervious surface should be reduced
by locating parking areas beneath buildings minimizing building footprints by adding stories, and by using porous paving
materials rather than traditional asphalt and concrete for parking lots, roads, sidesvvalks, and driveways.
Minimize Direct Connection Between Impervious Surfaces connected impervious surfaces result in
rapid stormvi ater flows. Drivevifays sidewalks, and streets may be sloped so that runoff drains first to lawns or vegetated
Plant Mo re Trees- Trees and shrubs can capture as much as 35 percent of the annual rainfall through absorption
or evaporation. roots provide a path for increased water infiltration as well.
Tease referto pendl:� B for additional guidelines and recommendations for the design of stormvvater treatment systems

CITY of NEW HOPE PREFERRED TREE LISA`
P referred Tree List The following tree list has been compiled by the New Hope city forester to aid residents and businesses in the selection
of gees that are acceptable in the city of New Hope. There are a number of important considerations when selecting
trees. These include:
Hardiness
Mature size and gro habit
Salt tolerance
Pest /disease resistance
Cleanliness /litter problems
Rooting habits
Maintenance requirements
Soil compatibility
Based upon these considerations, the following plant materials are deemed suitable for planting in New Hope. Those
trees recommended for planting within the public right-of-way are indicated with an "R ". Those trees prohibited from
the right -of -gray have the post script 'X. The planting of understory deciduous trees and coniferous
trees (overstory and understor ) are prohibited within the public right -of -way unless
approved by the city forester. The plant materials that have been noted with an asterisk are identified as
less desirable species for planting in New Hope. Those trees that are nature to Minnesota are indicated with an r: n :,

by 50 percent or more; b) combine lots to create a large commercial parcel, and c) raze the
existing buildings to accommodate a new development. The following development goals and
strategies shall be applied:
1. Encourage commercial buildings to be located toward the public street with landscaped
front yards and building elfliancements oriented to the street.
2. Promote high quality building architecture that establishes the building as an aesthetic
component of the public street streetscape through the use of the following architectural
guidelines
a. Use of high quality, durable exterior wall materials.
Preferred materials include:
Brick.
Natural stone or replicas
Precast concrete units, concrete block., cast in place or tip up concrete
panels provided the surfaces are molded, serrated or treated with a
textured material in order to give the wall surface a three- dimensional
clia acter
Stucco
Wood, lap siding, vertical siding, or wood shales; surfaces must be
painted
Synthetic wood (fiber cement) siding resembling horizontal lap siding and
similar neat- erials

Architectural metal roof may be permitted.
Prohibited materials:
Unadorned plain or painted concrete block
Aluminum, Vinyl, fiberglass, asphalt or fiberboard (masonite) siding
Unfinished Metal panels or metal panels that are finished with paint only.
b. At least two complementary exterior colors are used are on each facade with no
color exceeding 70 percent of the total wall.

intended to improve on existing conditions and establish the City's long range commercial vision
