AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE LAKE ELMO CITY CODE BY
ADDING THE VILLAGE MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT AND THE VILLAGE HIGH
DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Lake Elmo hereby ordains that Title 105 Zoning; Chapter 105:
Article XIII Village Mixed -Use District is hereby amended by changing the following sections (Proposed
language is underlined, deleted language is shown with strife g r):
Article XIII Village Districts
105.12.770 Purpose And District Description
Purpose. The village districts encompass the Lake Elmo Village Planning Area. The village districts provide for an
area of compact development including a mix of uses made mutually corupatible through a combination of careful
planning and urban design and coordinated public and private investment. The mixture of uses and level of density
and intensity is intended to support the level of public infrastructure planned for the area.
O V-LDR Village Low Density Residential. The purpose of the V-LDR zoning district is to provide opportunity
for lower density residential development within the Village Planning Area and to create a transition and
connectivity between the heart of the Old Village and surrounding rural areas. Appropriate housing types in
this area may include single-family detached housing. Residential development within areas zoned V-LDR
will occur at a density of 1.5 to 3.0 units per acre. The purpose of the V LDR zoo district is t id �_ p;;r;,w., .,. zoning .,.��a.vrz-.rcvprv�zavopportunity f6f lower density residential developmepA v6"n the Old A411age and efeate a transition
Cbj
and amenities. Appropriate housing types in this area may include single-family detached, duplexes and
townhomes/villa housing types. Residential development within areas zoned V-MDR will occur at a density
of 3.01 to 8 units per acre.
(c) V-HDR Village High Density Residential. The purpose of the V-HDR is to provide an area for a variety of
higher density housing types in the Village Planning Area and to bring a higher concentration of people
closer to Old Village destinations and amenities. This area is intended to provide for opportunities for more
housing at a wider range of price points and to provide lifecycle housing in Lake Elmo. Appropriate housing
types in this area may include multi -family dwellings. First floor non-residential uses may be appropriate.
Residential development within areas zoned V-HDR will occur at a density of 8.01 to 12 units per acre.
VMX Village Mixed -Use District. This district is intended to continue the traditional mixed -use development
that has occurred in the Old Village by allowing retail, service, office, civic and public uses as well as
residential units. The mixture of land uses within the district is essential to establishing the level of vitalit
and intensity needed to support retail and service uses. Development within areas zoned VMX will occur at
a density of 5 - 10 units per acre. Senior congregate care facilities may exceed this density maximum with a
range not to exceed a total of 16 units per acre, provided the facility can satisfy all zoning and ap licable
conditional use permit review criteria The placement of building edges and treatment of building asking
landscaping, and pedestrian spaces is essential to creating the pedestrian friendly environment envisioned
for the VMX district. The purpose of the NLN4X dis4 iet is to provide e a area for e, r--o mixed iisd&velopment made miitually eempatible through a eombination of earefii! planning and urban design
eaerdinated public and private investment. This distriet is Wended to continue the traditional mixed tis
development that has eeetirred in the �Mlage area by allowing retail, seMee, effiee, eivie and piklio uses as
wah as msidentW units. The mixtufe of land iises v4thin the distriet is essential to establishing the le�,,el o
vitality and ifAensib, needed to siipport retail and seFN4ee uses. DevelopmepA within areas zoned V?4X wil
oeour at a density of six to ten uni"eT- aefe. Senior congregate eare f4eilities may exeead this densi
maxiffmm with a range not to e�Eeeed a total of 16 units per aefe, pfei4ded the ffteilitY call satisfy Ed! ZoRi
and applivable conditional use permit rei4ew eriteria. The plaeoment of building edges and tT-eatmant o
building, parking, landscaping, and pedestrian spaees is essefftial to creating the pedestrian 4iendl
em4ronmanl em4sioned for the VN4X distfiet. The standards in this Ghapter are intended to implemetit an
effeetuate the principles and relationships established in thevillage master plan, whieh m4ll be eaffied oiit
through speeific standards related to site plam-Ang, signage, architeetme, building materials, and4andseapint.

setback of 50 feet.
105.12.800 Dimensional Requirements and Preservation Of Open Space
(a) Averaging of lot area. When lots are clustered within a development to provide common open space, the
open space may be used to calculate an average density per lot to determine compliance with the individual
lot area requirements.
(b) Lot dimension reductions. Other reductions in dimensional standards may be considered as part of a planned
unit development if these reductions provide for common open space within a development.
105.12.810 General Site & Building Design Considerations; Village Districts
