Subd. 12. Special
Requirements. In addition to the general requirements described in
Subsection 850.07, the following special requirements shall apply:
A. Established Average
Front Street Setback for PCD-1 and PCD-2. When more than 25 percent of
the frontage on one side of the street between intersections is occupied by
buildings having front street setbacks of greater or lesser distances than
hereafter required, then the average setback of the existing buildings shall
be maintained by all new or relocated buildings on the same side of that
street and between the intersections. If a building is to be built or
relocated where there is an established average setback, and there are
existing buildings on only one side of the building or relocated building, the
front street setback of the new or relocated building need be no greater than
that of the nearest adjoining principal building. If a building is to be built
or relocated where there is an established average setback and there are
existing buildings on both sides of the new or relocated building, the front
street setback need be no greater than that which would be established by
connecting a line parallel with the front line connecting the most forward
portion of the adjacent principal building on each side.
B. Interior Side Yard
and Rear Yard Setbacks. Interior side yard and rear yard setbacks including
parking setbacks and loading facility setbacks apply only when the side or
rear lot line is a Planned Commercial District boundary.
C. Setbacks for PCD-3. The minimum building setback
required by Paragraph B of Subd. 11 of this subsection shall be
increased as follows:
1. In the area bounded by France Avenue on the west,
York Avenue on the east and West 70th Street on the south, the
minimum building setback shall be increased by 1/3 foot for each
foot that the building exceeds 50 feet in building height. For
purposes hereof, only those portions of buildings which exceeds
50 feet in building height need provide the additional setbacks
required by this paragraph.
2. In all other areas, the minimum building setback
shall be equal to the building height for buildings taller than
50 feet.
Notwithstanding the requirement of this subsection, the City
encourages i) ground level retail and service uses that create an
active pedestrian and streetscape environment and ii) pedestrian
connections by way of skyways and tunnels and, therefore, the City
Council will consider exceptions to setback requirements for these
purposes.
D. Maximum Building Height in PCD-3. Maximum building height in
the PCD-3 subdistrict shall be as follows:
1. In the area bounded by France Avenue on the west,
York Avenue on the east and West 70th Street on the south, the
maximum building height shall be 18 stories or 225 feet,
whichever is less.
2. In the area located west of France Avenue and the
area located east of York Avenue, the maximum building height
shall be four stories or 50 feet, whichever is less.
3. In all other cases, the maximum building height
shall be equal to the required setbacks.
E. Travel Demand Management. Final development plans for
any office use in the PCD-3 subdistrict which requires the issuance
of a conditional use permit shall include a travel demand management
(TDM) plan prepared by an independent TDM professional. The plan
must document TDM measures and performance measures to be
implemented. Approval of the TDM plan by the City shall be a
condition of the issuance of the conditional use permit.
F. On Site Sanitary Sewage Retention System. This
paragraph applies to properties served by Metropolitan Sewer
Interceptor No. 1-RF-491. Final development plans for any new
buildings or uses in the PCD-3 subdistrict that require the issuance
of a conditional use permit shall include plans for storage tanks
and other facilities designed to retain on-site sanitary sewer
discharges during peak flow conditions that would otherwise enter
the City's sanitary sewer system. Such plans must be prepared by a
licensed professional engineer acceptable to the City. The plans
must provide for facilities designed to prevent discharges to the
sanitary sewer system during peak flow conditions, in amounts and
volumes that exceed discharges that existed prior to construction of
the buildings and uses proposed by the final development plans.
Approval of the sanitary sewer retention system shall be a condition
of the conditional use permit. In lieu of constructing a storage
tank, a cash fee equal to the cost of constructing the storage tank
may be paid to the city. The fee shall be placed in a dedicated fund
to pay for the cost of reducing inflow and infiltration into the
sanitary sewer system. A credit against the fee shall be given for
any expenditures made to reduced inflow and infiltration on-site.
Section 850.16, subd. 12, paragraph F of the Edina City Code is
repealed effective the day that the capacity of Metropolitan Sewer
Interceptor No. 1-RF-491 is improved to increase its capacity by at
least +/- 69%.
G. Proximity to R-1
District. The following minimum distance shall exist between buildings in the
Planned Commercial District and the nearest lot line of an R-1 District lot
used for residential purposes:
| Building Height |
Distance to R-1 District |
| 5 - 6 stories |
Twice the building height of the building in the Planned
Commercial District. |
| 7 - 8 stories |
Four times the building height of the building in the
Planned Commercial District. |
| 9 or more stories |
Six times the building height of the building in the
Planned Commercial District. |
H. Storage. All
materials, supplies, merchandise and other similar materials not on display
for direct sale, rental or lease to the ultimate consumer shall be stored
within a completely enclosed building or within the confines of a completely
opaque wall or fence capable of completely screening all the materials from
adjoining properties. The wall or fence under no circumstances shall be less
than five feet in height.
I. Displays.
Merchandise which is offered for sale may be displayed outside of buildings in
the PCD-1, PCD-2 and PCD-3 subdistricts, provided the area occupied by the
display shall not exceed ten percent of the gross floor area of the building
or portion thereof housing the principal use. No displays shall be permitted
within that half of the required front street or side street setback nearest
the street, nor within any required side yard or rear yard setback. Agencies
selling automobiles or boats, as permitted by this Section, may display
automobiles or boats outside of a building if the area used for the displays
shall comply with all the standards for a parking lot including construction,
setbacks, landscaping and screening as contained in this Section.
J. Minimum Building
Size. The minimum size for any building housing one or more principal uses in
the PCD-1, PCD-2 or PCD-3 subdistricts shall be 1,000 square feet of gross

and the use of drive-through facilities permitted by this Section, all sales
of products and merchandise, and dispensing of services, shall be conducted
from within the confines of a permanent building totally enclosed by four
walls and a roof. The sale of products and merchandise, and the dispensing of
services, from a motor vehicle, trailer, tent or other temporary structure or
