MEMORANDUM
Date: 7/9/2024
To: City Council, City of Lake Elmo
From: Nathan Fuerst, Consulting Planner
Subject: Village Area Vision – Workshop Discussion
Overview
In recognition of the significance of the Old Village area to Lake Elmo’s economic vitality and overall
identity, the City of Lake Elmo initiated a visioning study to ensure future development aligns with the
City’s objectives.
At its workshop on July 9, 2024, Bolton and Menk staff will walk the Lake Elmo City Council through the
following topics:
• Overview of Village Area Vision Study
• Public Engagement Update
• Policy Review Update
• Discussion – City Council vision for the Lake Elmo Village Area
Public Engagement to Date:
Public engagement creates an opportunity to understand concerns from community members and
eventually serves as an important data point when making policy decisions. Over the past month, City
Staff and Bolton and Menk staff have worked closely to conduct public engagement. This started with a
survey published on the City’s website. Bolton and Menk and City staff held two public open house
events at City Hall. Those events saw strong attendance and were advertised on the City’s website,
social media channels, on flyers sent to businesses and Village Area HOA’s and with postcards mailed to
residents in the village area not in an HOA. Data on the quantitative questions are appended to this
report, while staff are still reviewing and summarizing the qualitative responses.
Policy Review to Date:
Staff have reviewed the applicable plans and policies guiding land use and development in Lake Elmo’s
Village area. A Policy Review Memo is appended to this report which summarizes the tools currently
employed by the City to manage the Village Area.

Subject: City of Lake Elmo, Village Area Policy Review
Overview
In recognition of the significance of the Old Village area to Lake Elmo’s economic vitality and overall
identity, the City of Lake Elmo initiated a visioning study to ensure future development aligns with the
City’s objectives. This memo is intended to summarize existing policies or plans that guide development
and redevelopment in the Village Area. Considerations are provided that address the stated goals of the
City and how these policies can better work together towards that vision.
The Village Area
The “Village Area” is
delineated by different
boundaries depending on
which City policy
document one might be
reviewing. For the purpose
of this policy review, the
area in the image to the
right generally defines the
Village Area.

The Zoning Code
Purpose: To provide zoning regulations and be a tool for implementing the Comprehensive Plan and
other guiding documents.
Regulatory Impact: Zoning ordinances are laws created and passed by the City to regulate land uses and
development within the City’s boundaries. Minnesota Cities are granted authority by State Statute and
federal case law to control land use through zoning. The Zoning Ordinance regulates the specific land
uses as well as lot provisions such as lot area, setbacks, and lot coverage. The ordinance also addresses
site elements such as building design and materials, landscaping and screening, parking, and signage.
Zoning and the Village Area: The Zoning Code calls for 4 different Village land uses:
• V-LDR is low density residential 1.5 – 3.0 u/acre, meant for perimeter and buffer to adjacent low
density uses
• V-MDR is medium density residential 3.01-8.0 u/acre, meant to bring people closer to Old
Village amenities
• V-HDR is high density residential 8.01 u/acre -12 u/acre, meant to bring higher density and life
cycle housing choose to Old Village Area. Non-residential uses on 1st floor.
• VMX is mixed use with commercial and public uses combined with higher density residential, 5-
10 u/a, senior up to 16 u/acre, meant to establish vitality and intensity to support retail and
service uses in the Old Village. Placement of buildings and pedestrian amenities are essential.
In addition, there is a significant amount of other zoning districts in the Village area:
• RS- Rural Single Family, are only for lots patted prior to 2005. No new lots can be created. The
district allows for single family residential, parks and a variety of accessory uses.
• PF- Public Facilities are for parcels with parks, schools, or public facilities (city Hall and Fire
Station sites).
• LDR- Low Density Residential is considered typical single family zoning district with city sewer
and water. A large portion of the village area contains this land use.
• Commercial and Convenience Commercial and Medium Density Residential are in the NE corner
of the area, just north of Stillwater Blvd which is currently the Holiday gas station and future
Bridgewater Village commercial and medium density residential development.
The uses for the residential districts are straightforward, however the allowed or conditionally allowed
uses of the Mixed-Use Village district may permit for undesirable uses. The district allows the following
type of uses:
• Residential
• Public and Civic
• Commercial and Personal Service
• Food Service
Village Area Policy Review Memo
Page: 3
• Retail Sales
• Auto type uses
• Recreation Uses
Most uses are conditional, including residential, while personal and business service type uses are
permitted. Most accessory uses are also permitted. Several of the uses could have an outdoor
component such as outdoor recreation, drive-up, or outdoor sales and storage lots.
The Zoning Ordinance does reference the Village Districts and has the following emphasis:
• Refence to the Design Guidelines
• Circulation and limited access on CSAH 14
• Screening of existing residential structures
• Sidewalk and trail connections, esp. from cul-de-sacs to nearest through streets
• Theming Study (2013) to be incorporated.
Other Zoning Considerations:
• The Shoreland Overlay covers approximately the westerly 1,000 feet of the area and is all zoned
residential. Limits on development and impervious surface are a consideration.
• The Airport Overlay covers a the eastern part of the area. The airport is on the east side of
Manning, outside the city limits. The overlay zoning and impacts are on the west side of
Manning Avenue within the city limits. There are noise considerations and height limits in this
area.
Considerations:
• Consolidating districts in the village area may streamline the zoning review process and could
reduce confusion about land uses or performance standards in the Village Area.
• ADU’s and mixed uses could be permitted where Rural Single Family is now the zoning district.
Existing housing and uses could continue to be preserved.
• Consider defining the Village Area within the City Code or adopting a zoning map with that area
delineated.
• The City would benefit from more review or discussion in the following areas:
o Land uses permitted or conditionally permitted in the Village Area.
o Review and consideration of whether additional uses should be permitted
o Understand existing performance standards in the districts affecting the Village area,
and how they relate to the City’s vision, comprehensive plan goals, or adopted Design
Standards Manual.
o Determine if the Theming Study remains relevant or should be removed from the code

Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan
Purpose: This document provides long-term guidance on land uses to ensure the efficient provision of
public infrastructure in the City. In the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, municipalities are required to
adopt comprehensive use plans every decade which guide development of land and public
infrastructure. Metro area comprehensive plans must contain specific elements including land use,
housing, transportation, water management, parks, etc. The planning horizon for Lake Elmo’s 2040
Comprehensive Plan (hereafter the “2040 Plan”) is from 2020 to 2040. The 2040 Plan was approved and
adopted in November of 2019 after a considerable planning and community engagement process.
Regulatory Impact: The 2040 Comprehensive Plan is a legal document which, as required by state
statute, is the guiding document for all development in Lake Elmo. Any development or redevelopment
must comply with the Comp Plan. The City’s zoning requirements must be consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan’s Land Use Chapter.
Comp Plan and the Village Area: This review is broken down by certain elements of the City’s 2040
Comprehensive Plan:
Future Land Uses (Chapter 3) - Future Land Uses (see map on page 7) allowed in the Village Area
include:
• Rural Single Family Sewered (0.1-2.0 du/acre ) – previously unsewered but currently single-
family land uses located within the Village Planning Area.
• Village Low Density Residential (1.5 – 3 du/acre) – single-family detached housing
development
• Village Medium Density Residential (3.01 – 8 du/acre) – single-family detached, duplexes,
and townhomes/villa housing types.
• Village High Density Residential (8.01 – 12 du/acre) – apartment buildings and multi-family
dwellings.
• Village Mixed Use (5 – 10 du/acre) – Integrated commercial/business and residential uses
provide development types that benefit from proximity to each other.
• Commercial – retail and service businesses primarily located in the MUSA. This excludes
residential and industrial uses.
• Institutional - Schools, religious institutions, City hall, municipal buildings, libraries, and
other institutional uses
• Public/Semi-Public - generally owned by the City or other agency, whose primary purpose is
to support adjacent developments with stormwater management and other utilities.
MUSA Staging (Chapter 3) – The Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary provides an
indication of where sewered development can occur. This is broken down into phases by decade. Only
two areas of the Village are in MUSA staging areas beyond the current decade. One area is the
remaining Schiltgen farmstead parcel south of North Star, the other is just north of Easton Village. Those
Village Area Policy Review Memo
Page: 6
areas would require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to develop sooner than 2035. (See Map on page
8)
Subdistricts (Chapters 2 & 3) – Chapter 3 of the 2040 Plan created the following subdistricts for the
Village area:
• Civic District – area north of Stillwater Boulevard N.
• Old Village District – core of old village area centered around Lake Elmo Ave N.
• Elmo Station District – area East of Layton Ave N. and containing primarily undeveloped
land.
There is no narrative in the 2040 Plan to provide a description of the subdistricts, but goals are
articulated in Chapter 2, which envision the creation of specific zoning overlays to support or require
certain types of development in each area. Land Use Goals 4 – 6 discuss the subdistricts.
Parks and Trails (Chapter 6) – The 2040 Plan contains guidance for the development of park and
recreation facilities in the City.
• Park Search Areas (Map 6-7) – contains a search area for a Community Park over the Village
Planning Area. A community park in this area is defined as a park an area of 10-15 acres that
would serve as a community gathering place and landmark.
• Trail Search Areas (Map 6-8) – contains existing facilities and search areas for new ones. A
regional search corridor runs along Lake Elmo Ave. N. and Stillwater Blvd. N. for creation of a
county facility. The map also contains search areas for local connections to/through the Village
area and surrounding residential development. Village Parkway would contain a road and trail
connection through undeveloped parcels to Easton Village.
Transportation (Chapter 7) – The 2040 Plan contains guidance on planned functional classifications for
roadways serving or running through the Village planning area. Designations for Stillwater Boulevard
North, Lake Elmo Avenue North, 39th Street North, and the future Village Parkway all impact the way
those roadways function. The classification may impact ROW width needs, access spacing, alignment
and traffic speeds, etc.
Considerations:
• Consider removing PSP Designation until development is complete north of UP RR Tracks.
• Reconsider split guidance of land north of Easton Village
• MUSA staging should be consistent across Village East to allow master planning.
• Reconsider Subdistricts and associated goals to realign with potential future development or
redevelopment.
• Small Area Plan is needed to effectively plan land use guidance.

Lake Elmo Design Guidelines
Purpose: To ensure development of the Village area is high
quality and meets the goals and principles of the City.
Specifically, high quality site design and building materials,
promote open space to support the existing character of the
city, accommodate vehicles that respect pedestrian
environment, utilize natural ecosystems (stormwater) in
development, cohesion of development into the neighborhood
and community, and to foster connections through theming to
create unique community identity. The Design Guidelines and
Standards were last revised in February 2022.
Regulatory Impact: The Design Guidelines are intended to influence how sites are developed. They
cover the Village Area as well as the I-94 Corridor Area and is for parcels within the MUSA public utility
service area. Sites are reviewed for compliance at the final stage of development review or building
permit review. The guidelines terminology are primarily recommendations and not requirements. They
are written with lots of “recommendations”, “may”, “should” verbiage opposed to “must” and “shall”.
There are some required elements such as sidewalks, lighting, and signage. However, some of this
language is subjective rather than prescriptive.
Design Guidelines and the Village Area: Only applies to high density residential, commercial, business
park and mixed uses. The Zoning Ordinance references the design guidelines in the Village Districts in
general, Mixed Use, Commercial, and Public/Quasi-Public districts (commercial uses). The guidelines
address suggestions for:
• building placement
• streetscaping
• landscaping
• parking & delivery areas
• building design, mass/scale, roof, entries
• building materials
• lighting
• signage
Considerations:
• Identify the purpose of the design guidelines to ensure they still align with city goals.
• Certain sections or requirements may be seen as higher or lower priority. Issues directly tied to
City goals could be codified in the zoning ordinance.
• Not all projects will reasonably meet all requirements in the design guidelines. Discussion is
needed on the process for good projects to receive flexibility.
• Projects receiving PUD’s could be required to comply with some or all design requirements.

2007 Lake Elmo Village Area Master Plan
Purpose: This plan was created in 2007. The intent of the City’s Village Area Master Plan (hereafter
“2007 Master Plan”) is to guide development of private land, and public infrastructure, along with
revisions to applicable City Land Use guidance to allow the vision to materialize. The 2007 Master Plan
created 13 principals to guide development and a conceptual vision for future development in the areas
surrounding the “heart” of the Village.
Regulatory Impact: For Small Area or Master Plans to have regulatory impacts, they must be
incorporated into the City’s Comprehensive Plan or Zoning Ordinance. While the 2007 Master Plan may
have influenced land use policies in both the City’s adopted 2040 Plan and Zoning Ordinance, there are
no references to this planning document. Therefore, it does not have a legally binding impact on
development. The City’s 2040 Plan has created subdistricts and associated Land Use goals which don’t
appear to either conflict with, or support, the 2007 Master Plan’s vision.
The 2007 Village Area Master Plan Elements: The plan is generally broken down into the following
elements:
1. Background – which discusses guiding principles and a framework
2. The Master Plan – a layout of the vision, with focus on the different aspects such as parks and
trails, public and green space, streets, blocks & parcels, land uses, housing types, and densities.
3. Master Plan Components – discusses higher level components of the plan such as the Stillwater
Blvd. corridor, Lake Elmo Avenue corridor, Public Facilities, Greenbelt, Existing Development,
and planned housing.
4. Village Character – discusses case studies from, Detroit Lakes, Litchfield, Cannon Falls, and
Redwood Falls, MN, Cedarburg, WI, and Zeeland, MI. Nearly all examples are of rural town
centers as opposed to town centers in metropolitan areas.
5. Utilities and other Infrastructure – discusses Sewer and water utilities, stormwater systems, and
a street network with example road typologies.
6. Planning Process and Planning Tools – this section is incomplete in the version reviewed by staff.
Considerations:
• The location of roadway connections and alignment of key corridors such as Lake Elmo Avenue
and the Village Parkway have changed since the 2007 Master Plan was created.
• County Access spacing requirements and planning along Stillwater Boulevard likely mean that
the roadway connections envisioned by this plan are infeasible.
• Nearly all of the single family residential developments envisioned in the Village Area has now
occurred. This means local roads, sidewalks, and trail connections are set in a variety of areas.
• Future Land Use guidance in the City’s 2040 Plan is inconsistent with the development, primarily
east of the existing Village Area’s core.
• Park needs across the community have been evaluated and may have changed since 2007.

2021 Village Area Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR)
Purpose: The purpose of an AUAR is to evaluate the potential environmental impacts within a large
planning area and to ensure mitigation plans are effectively managed and implemented as development
occurs. The Village Area Alternative Urban Areawide Review (2009 Village Area AUAR) comprises
approximately 1,275 acres surrounding the City of Lake Elmo’s historic downtown. This 2021 Update is
prepared as an update and progress report to the 2009 Village Area AUAR and the subsequent 2016
Update. The analysis and information contained in this report provides an inventory of development to-
date within the AUAR area and an update to relevant items or sections as needed and/or affected since
the 2016 Update
Regulatory Impact: Per Minnesota Rules 4410.3610 Subpart 7, the City is required to update the 2009
Village AUAR every 5 years. The most recent update was in 2021. Until the Village Area is fully
developed, the City will need to update the AUAR to ensure that the review and mitigation plans are
consistent with the known and planned development within the AUAR area. If the AUAR becomes
expired prior to the complete buildout of the Village area, individual projects may be required to receive
a formal environmental review under statutory thresholds. This would cause delays and expense for
development to occur, and reviews would be completed on a piecemeal basis.
The 2021 Village Area AUAR: The update provided an opportunity to revisit the original 2009 document
and subsequent 2016 update. Many areas of the review had no change from the 2009 AUAR and 2016
update. Areas of additional review included the following:
• Review of development scenarios
• Development timeline update
• Land use guidance updates
• Land cover type updates
• Water use
• Water quality – surface water runoff
• Water quality – wastewater
• Traffic
• Compatibility with plans
Considerations:
• The City should plan to update the AUAR in 2026 in order to allow the AUAR to remain in effect
until the complete buildout of the Village area. Several large parcel developments may
otherwise trigger the need to complete environmental review.

2013 Lake Elmo Branding and Theming Study
Purpose: The Lake Elmo Branding and Theming Study seeks to establish a kit of parts that will create a
strong visual identity for the gateways, streets, sidewalks and open spaces of Lake Elmo that reinforces
the unique agricultural and open space heritage of the community.
Design Principles:
• Elements and furnishings will reflect a connection to the land through material and form.
• Elements and furnishings will be detailed and placed with a simplicity of purpose and function
that pays tribute to the Lake Elmo agrarian heritage.
• Landscapes will reflect the native prairie, lakes and big woods that help define Lake Elmo as a
special community within a metropolitan area.
• Elements and furnishings will be comfortable and functional.
• The Kit of Parts must have an authenticity that creates a memorable and lasting impression for
visitors, residents and business owners.
Regulatory Impact: The City’s Zoning Ordinance currently contains a reference that requires elements of
the Lake Elmo Theming Study must be incorporated in to developments within the village districts
where applicable. The City has design standards for the Village Parkway which will connect existing areas
of the Village and with the current terminus in Easton Village. Buildout will be required with future
development.
The 2013 Theming Study: The 2013 Theming study primarily focuses on the public right of way, and
streetscape improvements that the City can implement, or require to be implemented, in existing or
newly platted areas of the Village. The Theming Study generally touches on the following areas:
• Placement and Pattern in the Streetscape
o Placement of lighting and trees in the streetscape
o Creating a pattern in the streetscape
o Maintenance and community commitment
• Streetscape requirements
o Sidewalks
o Parking
o Corners and intersections
• Streetscape Components
• Street Furniture
• Implementation
Considerations:
• This document is not available online, it is recommended that it be added to the list of design
standards on the City’s website.
• The City should conduct plan reviews, particularly for newly proposed developments on the
undeveloped east side of the current Village Area with this theming study in mind.
• A discussion by the City as to the relevancy and priority of theming may be helpful. Is this
document still valid?

Heritage Preservation Commission
The City Code establishes a Heritage Preservation Commission to “engage in a comprehensive program
of historic preservation and to preserve and promote the city's historic resources”. This commission is
tasked with several things. Specifically related to land use and interest in the Village Area, their causes is
as follows:
1. To survey and recommend to the council the designation of districts, sites, buildings, structures,
and objects that are of historical, architectural, archaeological, engineering, or cultural
significance;
2. To recommend to the council rules governing construction, alteration, demolition, and use,
including the review of building permits, and the adoption of other measures appropriate for the
preservation, protection, and perpetuation of designated properties and areas;
3. To recommend to the council the acquisition by purchase, gift, or bequest of a fee or lesser
interest, including preservation restrictions, in designated properties and adjacent or associated
lands which are important for the preservations and use of the designated properties;
4. To recommend to the council the use of its powers of eminent domain to maintain or preserve
designated properties and adjacent or associated lands;
5. To recommend to the council the granting of use variances to the zoning ordinance for the
purpose of promoting historical preservation or continuity;
6. To participate in the conduct of land use planning processes by the review and comment on
documents or actions relating to designated areas and on comprehensive plans; and
7. To recommend to the council the removal of blighting influences in designated areas, including
signs, unsightly structures, and debris incompatible with the physical well-being of the areas.
There is currently no established commission. The commission stopped meeting with the onset of
COVID restrictions in 2020 and has not been re-established.
Considerations:
• This commission could provide insights and recommendations on the Village Area. Is the
Heritage Preservation Commission something that should be re-established to support the
Village Area goals?
• Could this commission provide value in supporting the village area and uses and the experience
while engaging residents serving on the commission? Or would this commission add a layer of
bureaucracy, whose objectives could be addressed administratively or through other processes?
Village Area Policy Review Memo

Next Steps
Concurrent with this work, and in partnership with City Staff, public engagement efforts have resulted in
hundreds of responses to the online survey and many conversations with residents at three different
public events. Staff are in the process of gathering and reflecting upon the feedback provided from the
community, which will help to inform next steps.
We appreciate the opportunity to conduct this review. After a discussion with the City Council at its July
9, 2024 workshop, we will refine the considerations found in this memo to create a list of policy
recommendations.
