Summary:
The applicant is requesting rezoning of the subject 615.7 acres in order to replace the existing
unorganized zoning pattern with a Planned Development District. The applicant is proposing the
change in zoning to permit a master planned community comprising single-family residential
neighborhoods of varied densities, multifamily residential apartments, retail uses, institutional
uses, and public parks and open spaces as well as floodplain.
Public Comment Forms were mailed to seventy-seven (77) property owners within 200 feet of
this request. One Comment Form in favor and three in opposition have been received.
00-13, Birmingham Park PD
Background:
The current zoning on the subject property was initially established by a Planned Development
District (PD 86-1) under the project name of Birmingham Farms. PD 86-1 was under
consideration by the City when the current Zoning Ordinance was adopted in May of 1985, and
the distribution of zoning districts reflected on the current Official Zoning Map reflects the pattern
of that PD. The current zoning includes nine separate districts which allow a variety of potential
uses, including several residential densities and building types as well as retail and business uses as
well as recreational open space and floodplain. No development has resulted from PD-86-1.
Rezoning of the property to a Planned Development District was requested in 1995 as the
Birmingham Park project. The 1995 request included single-family residential lots of 5,000,
6,000 and 7,500 square feet, multi-family residential and business uses as well as public park land
and thoroughfare corridors. This request was considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission
and City Council in several meetings during August and was ultimately withdrawn.
Rezoning was again requested in 1998 as the Birmingham Farms project. The 1998 request was
for a broadly mixed-use Planned Development District, included single-family residential lots of
6,000 to 7,200 square feet, multi-family residential and retail uses as well public park land and
thoroughfare corridors. On July 20, 1998, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
unanimously that that request be denied. The City Council tabled that request on August 11,
1998 in order to allow the applicant to formulated a more acceptable land use plan and
development conditions. Major concerns to be addressed included residential lots smaller than
those recommended by the Comprehensive Plan, floodplain limitations on the park land
dedication, and conflicts with recommendations of the Thoroughfare Plan. No later version of
that request has been considered since that request was tabled.
Three Preliminary Plats have been approved to initiate development of the subject property.
Phase 1 of the Birmingham Farms Addition (62.3 acres, including 219 SF-3 residential lots and
7.06 acres of public park) was approved by the City Council on June 22, 1999. Phase 2 of the
Birmingham Farms Addition (88.9 acres, 227 SF-3 residential lots, 64 2F/Duplex residential lots,
5.3 acres of public park land and a drainage channel) was approved by the City Council on July
13, 1999. Phase 3 of the Birmingham Farms Addition(112.8 acres, including 54 SF-1 residential
lots, 304 SF-2 residential lots and 3.23 acres of public park land) was approved by the City
Council on July 13, 1999. An additional 180-day extension of the 180-day time limit between
Preliminary Plat approval and submittal of a Final Plat (as required by Section 4.05 G. of the
Subdivision Regulations) was requested and allowed for Phase 1. No Final Plats have been
submitted on any of the subject property.
00-13, Birmingham Park PD
SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES:
The property to the north is vacant and zoned for SF-2 (Single Family) uses and is developing as
the Quail Meadow Addition. The properties to the southeast are zoned and developed as SF-2
and SF-3 (Single-Family Residential) uses and an Birmingham Elementary school. The property
to the south is zoned A(Agricultural) and partially developed with a nursery. The property to the
southwest is zoned A (Agricultural) and is undeveloped, and B-2 (Business) which is developed
with an existing business. The property to the west is partially zoned and developed as SF-1
(Single-Family Residential) uses. The property to the northeast is within the City of St. Paul.
Considerations:
1. The current request proposes a mix of land uses, including Single-Family Residential lots of
5,500, 7,200 and 9,000 square feet, as well as Multi-Family Residential, Retail/Institutional
uses and park/open space with amenity centers. The proposal restricts single-family
residential uses to a maximum of 1,661 total residential units (exclusive of residential uses
within the Institutional District) and proposes an overall average residential lot size of 7,200
square feet with a minimum of 100 lots to be 10,000 square feet or larger. The request
further proposes that house sizes for the 5,500 square feet lots range in size from 1,400 to
1,700 square feet, houses for the 7,200 square feet lots range from 1,600 to 1,900 square feet
and houses for the 9,000 square feet lots be a minimum of 1,800 square feet. Multi-Family
Residential uses would allow a maximum density of 18 units per acre. See the Zoning Exhibit
and Planned Development Standards.
2. The current Comprehensive Plan recommends that the subject property accommodate a
variety of uses within the Village Center concept. This concept focuses residential uses
around a central commercial/institutional core. Higher-density residences, including smaller-
lot single-family detached dwellings and attached or multi-family dwellings, are to be located
nearest to the nonresidential Village Center to encourage pedestrian access. Lower-density
residential uses are to radiate outward from this central core, decreasing in density as distance
from the Village Center increases. The Comprehensive Plan recommends a nonresidential
Village Center on the northwest of the subject tract to the east side of Country Club Road
(F.M. 1378) at the intersection of McMillen Road, which is to be surrounded by limited
Village Center Residential uses (small-lot single-family homes, attached dwellings and
apartments). Beyond this central cluster are to be Suburban Residential uses (single-family
lots ranging in size from 8,500 square feet to one acre). A second Village Center is
recommended just off the southeast corner of the subject tract at the existing school, with the
higher-density Village Residential uses surrounding the school site within the tract and
Suburban Residential uses recommended for the eastern portion of the subject tract. Low-
density Country Residential uses, single-family lots of one acre minimum size on rural streets
with no curbs or gutters, are recommended for the central area of the tract surrounding the
floodplain corridors.
00-13, Birmingham Park PD
3. The Comprehensive Plan under which the original PD 86-1 zoning was approved was adopted
in June of 1980, and that Plan recommended that the subject property be developed for Low-
Density Residential uses served by the historic downtown area as the principal retail center.
The Comprehensive Plan under which the 1995 PD application was considered and withdrawn
was adopted in April of 1995 and recommended Single-Family Residential uses for the tract,
served by a retail center at Country Club and McMillen Roads.
4. The Major Thoroughfare Plan recommends the future extension of McMillen Road (C.R. 298)
eastward through the subject property to connect with Ballard Avenue (F.M. 2514). Sanden
Boulevard is recommended to be extended northward across Brown Street to intersect with
this McMillen extension. Westgate Way is recommended to be extended northward to
intersect with this McMillen extension. Dedication and construction of these thoroughfares
will be the responsibility of the adjoining properties as each develops.
5. The current proposal is sufficiently similar to the request which was tabled by the City Council
in 1998, and is, therefore, legally subject to the regulations of the Zoning Ordinance which
were in place at that time (prior to adoption of revised Residential Districts Provisions). The
current application proposes several modifications to regulations of Zoning Ordinance which
were in affect in 1998.
6. The applicant is proposing to develop 172.8 acres of 5,500 square feet single-family
residential lots. The Zoning Ordinance has no provision for 5,500 square feet lots, which
represent 38.9 percent of the proposed single-family residential allocation of the proposed
Planned Development District. The PD request proposes to generally apply the requirements
of the SF-3 single-family district to the 5,500 sq. ft. lots. Specifically proposed modifications
to the SF-3 requirements include the following:
Development Proposed Required for SF-3
Condition Requirement (Current Minimum Size)
Lot Area 5,500 sq. ft. 7,200 sq. ft.
Lot Width 50 ft. 60 ft.
Lot Depth 110 ft. 100 ft.

00-13, Birmingham Park PD
7. The PD request proposes 190 acres (or 42.9% of the total single-family residential lots),of
7,200 sq. ft. residential lots. Requirements of the SF-3 single-family district are to generally
apply to the 7,200 sq. ft. lots. Specifically proposed modifications from the SF-3 single-family
requirements include the following:
Development Proposed SF-3 District
Condition Requirement Requirements
Lot Area 7,200 sq. ft. 7,200 sq. ft.
Lot Width 60 ft. 60 ft.

Exterior Wall Material 80%masonry,incl. Brick,stone 75%masonry,limited to brick ro
stucco or hardiplank stone
Height 36 ft.or 3 stories 2 stories
8. The PD proposes 79.8 acres of 9,000 sq. ft. lots. This represents 18 percent of the total
single-family residential lot request. The 9,000 sq. ft. lots are to comply with the SF-2
regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. Specific modifications to the SF-2 single-family
residential requirements include the following:
Development Proposed SF-2 District
Condition Requirement Requirement
Lot Area 9,000 sq. ft. 8,500 sq. ft.
Lot Width 70 ft. 60 ft.
Lot Depth 115 ft. 100 ft.

Exterior Wall Material 80%masonry,incl.brick,stone 75%masonry,limited to brick ro
stucco or hardiplank stone
Height 36 ft. or 3 stories 2 stories
9. The requested PD proposes that a minimum of 100 lots will be 10,000 sq. ft. or larger. No
specific development standards are proposed for these lots. The locations of these lots have
not been identified.
10. Fences and walls within residential areas shall be constructed of masonry, wood or wrought
iron. Chain link fencing is specifically prohibited within residential areas.
00-13, Birmingham Park PD
11. The applicant is proposing 24.8 acres for multi-family residential uses. The Planned
Development Standards propose to comply with all requirements of the MF district of the
Zoning Ordinance with the exception that the maximum allowed density is proposed to be 18
units per acre rather than 15 units per acre.
12. The applicant is proposing 28.2 acres of retail uses. The Planned Development Standards
propose to comply with all requirements of the Retail district (Section 17) of the Zoning
Ordinance.
13. The applicant is proposing 18.6 acres of institutional uses. This district will generally comply
with the development requirements of the Office district (Section 16) of the Zoning
Ordinance, except that only the following uses will be permitted:
• Retirement center with possible medical and food service
• Townhomes(minimum 4,000 sq. ft.)
• Church, synagogue or rectory
• School, public or private
• Clinic, medical or dental
• Veterinarian office with hospital
• Other uses as approved by City Council
The Zoning Ordinance does not currently permit residential uses such as the Townhomes
within the Office district. Specific variances proposed for residential uses within the Office
regulations include the following:

boats and similar equipment throughout the Planned Development District.
16. Landscaping shall be provided at primary entrances and subdivision entrances, medians and

of the Planned Development Standards and illustrated on Exhibits A and B. All landscaping
within common areas and public rights-of-way shall be maintained by the mandatory
Homeowners Association.
17. The proposed Planned Development District includes the dedication of 71.8 acres as public
park land. Several public park spaces are also indicated to be dedicated within the earlier
approved plats. The Planned Development District shall also be provided with a minimum of
three amenity centers, as generally located on the Zoning Exhibit. A swimming pool shall be
provided at each amenity center, and one pool shall be sized to Junior Olympic standards.
18. The applicant is aware that, if the Planned Development District is approved, a Detailed Site
Plan must be approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the property must be
platted prior to the issuance of any building permits on any portion of the area within the
proposed Planned Development District.
Staff Recommendation:
Denial of the requested rezoning for the following reasons:
1. The proposed smaller residential lots and subsequent higher densities do not comply with the
recommendations of the current Comprehensive Plan nor of its three predecessors that the
area be developed to lower-density Country Residential or Suburban Residential standards.
2. Much of the proposed park land dedication is occupied by floodplain or electric transmission
lines, rendering it unusable for public recreation functions. Article IV, Section 78-111 of the
Code of Ordinances states that such lands are unsuitable for park dedication.
The Departments of Development Services, Public Works and Fire concur with this
recommendation.
