Residential density is based on the net area of the parcel in question for parcels.In the event that public open space that is not dedicated to the City is developed independently of any particular residential project,the land area of the open space shall be divided equally among those abutting projects for purposes of density calculations. 2. Build to line shall be measured from building front to edge of right-of-way,or edge of sidewalk easement as defined by the City and said sidewalk must be encumbered by a sidewalk easement recorded with the office of the Anoka County Recorder. 3. The City may approve up to a 60-foot setback if it finds that topography or other factors require that a building be set back further to achieve acceptable grades or buffer between the street,the site entrance and the building. 4. In order to address vision clearance standards on higher speed roadways,parcels that are located at an intersection with an arterial roadway are allowed a build-to line of 35 feet from both streets. A. Where commercial buildings are planned, at least sixty(60%) percent of street frontage of any lot shall be occupied by building facades meeting this build-to-line. On lots with more than one (1) street frontage,the build to line shall apply on each side fronting a street. An enclosed open area plaza space or outdoor seating with a decorative wall with a minimum height of three feet (3') and a maximum of four and one-half feet(4%') can be used to meet the sixty(60%) percent street frontage requirement. B. Screening Of Parking Areas: Wherever a surface parking area faces a street frontage, such frontage shall be screened with a decorative wall, railing, hedge, or a combination of these elements, to a minimum height of three feet (3') and a maximum height of four and one-half feet (41/2') above the level of the parking lot, at the build-to line. This screening may be broken into sections along the street edge provided it meets the sixty(60%) percent required. Design Framework-The COR Page 61 February 28, 2012
