ORDINANCE NO. 08-167
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE LAKE ELMO CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES BY
CREATING A GOLF COURSE COMMUNITY ZONING DISTRICT
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Lake Elmo hereby ordains that Article
XII; of Chapter 154: Zoning Code; of Title XV: Land Usage; of the Lake Elmo City
Code of Ordinances, is hereby amended as follows:
URBAN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS
5 154.450 PURPOSE AND DISTRICT DESCRIPTIONS.
The urban residential districts are established to provide areas for residential
development that are served by public sewer and water services in accordance with
the city's Comprehensive Plan. The objectives of these districts are to preserve and
enhance the quality of living in residential neighborhoods, to regulate structures and
uses which may affect the character or desirability of residential areas, to encourage
a variety of dwelling types and locations and a range of population densities
consistent with the city's Comprehensive Plan, and to ensure adequate light, air,
privacy and open space. The residential districts and their purposes are as follows:
A. GCC Golf Course Community District. The GCC district is intended to permit
urban residential developments in conjunction with a golf course and its
accessory uses. Development in this district will be enhanced by coordinated
site planning; open space and environmental resources; and provision of a safe
and efficient system for pedestrian and vehicle traffic. The GCC district is
intended to provide areas for densities lower than other Urban Residential
Districts, ranging from 1.4 to 1.65 units per acre, with adequate open space
buffers to provide a transition between denser, sewered development and
rural areas. Residential development within the GCC district will consist of an
environment of predominantly single-family dwellings with lots slightly larger
on average than those in most Urban Residential Districts.
B. LDR Urban Low Density Residential District. The LDR district provides an
environment of predominantly single-family dwellings on moderately sized
lots, and is designed to be the most restrictive of the urban residential
districts. The LDR district is intended to provide areas for lower density
residential development within the city's planned sewered development
1
areas, and may be used to provide a transition between rural development
areas and the city's urban development and districts. Densities shall range
from two 2 to 4 units per acre; however, the overall density for a specific
development area must be consistent with the net densities specified in the
Comprehensive Plan. The lot size and other district standards allow for the
creation of smaller lots with the expectation that common open space will be
provided within developments that exceed the base densities (at low end of
the land use density range) within the Comprehensive Plan.
C. MDR Urban Medium Density Residential District. The MDR district is
established to provide for a diversity of housing types in those areas where
such development is consistent with the medium density residential
designation of the comprehensive plan and compatible with the development
pattern of the surrounding area. Clustering of buildings to permit more orderly
development and to preserve open space within new developments is
encouraged. Development within the district shall occur at densities in the
range of 4 to 7 dwelling units per acre, with two-family dwellings and
townhouses permitted. The city will determine the allowed density for a piece
of property at the time of the development application, and this
determination will be based upon the site-specific characteristics of the
property and the requested development. Factors to be considered in
increasing or decreasing the allowed density include the existing
environmental conditions such as wetlands, floodplains, steep slopes,
significant trees; the specific site plan; the amount of open space preserved,
and the type of housing units proposed, including whether greater density is
desirable because the development contains housing that is consistent with
the city's housing goals. The burden of establishing the appropriateness of the
high end of the density range will be on the applicant.
D. HDR Urban High Density Residential District. The HDR district is established to
provide for an environment of moderate to high-density attached and multi-
family housing, designed to present an attractive appearance to neighboring
streets and adjacent uses, to include sufficient private and semi-private
outdoor space, and to be well integrated into their surroundings. Small office
and service businesses of limited size and extent may be allowed as
conditional uses. The HDR district is appropriate as a transition between
commercial or industrial districts and surrounding neighborhoods, and in
already developed higher-density areas. Development within the district may
occur at densities in excess of 7 dwelling units per acre, provided the overall
densities for within a development area are consistent with the net densities
specified in the Comprehensive Plan and that a density analysis is used
consistent with the purpose statement for the MDR district.

Notes to Urban Residential Districts Table
a. Common open space areas may be used in the determining whether or not the minimum lot areas
within a development are met, when provided as part of an overall development plan.
b. Two-family units may be side-by-side with a party wall between them ("twin") or located on
separate floors in a building on a single lot ("duplex"). The per-unit measurements in this table apply
7
to "twin" units, whether on a single lot or separate lots. The standards for single-family detached
dwelling shall apply to a "duplex" containing two vertically-separated units on a single lot.
c. In the case of single-family attached dwellings that are not situated on individual lots, minimum lot
size shall be applied to each unit as a measure of density; i.e. 1 unit per 2,500 square feet. This
standard is also used for multifamily dwellings.
d. Single family dwellings (both attached and detached) and two-family dwellings may use the side
yard setbacks within MDR zoning districts.
e. In a block where the majority of the block face has been developed with the same or similar
setbacks, the front setback for the remaining lots on that block face shall fall within the range
established by the existing setbacks.
f. In situations where a garage or accessory building is set back less than 7 feet from a side property
line, the maximum permitted encroachment for anything attached to said building (including eaves,
overhangs, steps,chimneys, and other appurtenances as described in Section 154.081)will be two (2)
feet.
g. Side yards setbacks shall apply to the ends of attached or two-family dwellings.
h. Corner properties: The side facade of a corner building adjoining a public street shall maintain the
front setback of the adjacent property fronting upon the same public street, or the required front
yard setback, whichever is less. If no structure exists on the adjacent property, the setback shall be as
shown in the table.
§ 154.453 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.
C. Lots Adjacent to Public Greenway Corridors. On any lot that abuts a public
greenway as depicted in the Comprehensive Plan the minimum setback for all
structures, including accessory buildings, shall be the required rear yard
setback for the district in which said structure is located.
5 154.454 SITE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.
Development of land within the urban residential districts shall follow established
standards for traffic circulation, landscape design, parking, signs and other
considerations as specified in Articles 7, 8 and 9. The following standards apply to

as a single-family detached dwelling, above a detached garage, or within
separate detached structure.
2. There shall be no more than one secondary dwelling unit on the zoning lot.
3. At least one dwelling unit on the zoning lot shall be owner-occupied.

two-family or higher density development is permitted once this threshold
is reached. Lineal frontage shall be measured around the entire perimeter
of the block.

townhouse units, and no further townhouse, two-family or higher-density
development is permitted once this threshold is reached.

establishments, home crafts which are typically considered accessory to a
dwelling unit, or limited retailing (by appointment only) associated with
