BACKGROUND
SITE DESCRIPTION AND PRESENT USE. The Calhoun Square shopping center occupies the
block on the southeast corner of Hennepin Avenue South and West Lake Street. The associated parking
ramp is located just east of vacated Girard Avenue South. The parking ramp occupies the eastern half of
that block.
SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND NEIGHBORHOOD. The site is surrounded by
commercial businesses and residential properties of varying densities. The site is located in the CARAG
neighborhood and is adjacent to the East Calhoun, East Isles and Lowry Hill neighborhoods.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION. The applicant is proposing to make building modifications to the Calhoun
Square shopping center. The changes are concentrated at the corner of Hennepin Avenue South and
West Lake Street. Specifically, the applicant is proposing to move the shopping center entrance from the
corner of the building to West Lake Street. The new shopping center entrance will be identified with
two double doors, an awning and signage. A new commercial tenant space will be added in place of the
existing entrance. This tenant space will have an entrance on the corner of the building.
RELATED APPROVALS. In December of 2005, February of 2008, February of 2010 and November
of 2010 the Planning Commission approved a number of land use applications to allow for the
redevelopment of the existing Calhoun Square shopping center and additional new construction on the
site. The Planned Unit Development was first established in December of 2005 and has been modified
several times since.
PUBLIC COMMENTS. No comments have been submitted in regards to this application. Any
correspondence received prior to the public meeting will be forwarded on to the City Planning
Commission for consideration.
ANALYSIS

SITE PLAN REVIEW

The Department of Community Planning and Economic Development has analyzed the application based
on the required findings and applicable standards in the site plan review chapter:
1. Conformance to all applicable standards of Chapter 530, Site Plan Review.
Building Placement and Design Meets requirements

The building reinforces the street wall, maximizes natural surveillance and visibility and facilitates
pedestrian access and circulation. Currently, the shopping center entrance is recessed under the
building. As part of the proposed modifications, the entrance will be moved to West Lake Street
and where the entrance is now a new commercial tenant space will be added. The tenant space
will have an entrance on the corner of the building and large storefront windows.
The building is located up to the front property line along Hennepin Avenue South and the
corner side property line along West Lake Street.
There are several principal entrances leading into the shopping center. As part of the proposed
ground floor modifications, the existing entrance that is located on the corner of the building
will be moved to the West Lake Street side of the building.

Department of Community Planning and Economic Development

BZZ-7092

There is a parking ramp located on the east side of the shopping center. No modifications will
be made to the parking ramp.
There are no areas of the building impacted by the proposed modifications that are over 25 feet
in length and void of windows, entries, recesses or projections, or other architectural elements.
The primary exterior building materials that will be used include brick, rockface block and glass.
These materials are similar to the existing materials on the building.
Plain face concrete block is not being proposed as an exterior building material.
New vertically aligned windows will be added in between the existing columns. The additional
windows will add to the total amount of transparency on the ground floor of the building.
One hundred percent of the proposed ground floor modifications will contain active functions.
The principal roof line of the building is flat.

Access and Circulation Meets requirements

The proposed entries into the building will be directly connected to the public sidewalk.
The existing integrated transit shelter along Hennepin Avenue South will remain after the
modifications have been made to the building; however, the size of the transit shelter will be
reduced in size from 93 square feet to 52 square feet. The existing lights and heat source will
remain.
The proposed modifications will not impact the vehicular access and circulation patterns on site.
There will be no increase in the amount of impervious surface on the site.

Landscaping and Screening Not applicable

The proposed modifications to the building will not impact any existing landscaping on the site.

Additional Standards Meets requirements

The proposed modifications will not impact the existing parking ramp.
The proposed modifications will not block views of landmark buildings, significant open spaces
or water bodies.
The proposed modifications will not shadow public spaces or adjacent residential properties.
The proposed modifications will not generate wind currents at the ground level.
The proposed modifications will comply with crime prevention through environmental design
guidelines as the entrances will be located up to the property lines and there will be large
storefront windows that maximize the opportunities for people to observe adjacent spaces and
the public sidewalks.
The site is neither locally designated nor located in a historic district.

2. Conformance with all applicable regulations of the zoning ordinance.

The proposed use is conditional in the C3A District.
Off-street Parking and Loading Meets requirements

There are a total of 731 parking spaces in the parking ramp and seven surface parking spaces
near the south end of the site. The net increase in gross floor area of the shopping center is 400
square feet. The additional gross floor area will not require that additional parking spaces be
provided.

Department of Community Planning and Economic Development

BZZ-7092

There are a total of two large loading spaces on the site. The net increase in gross floor area of
the shopping center is 400 square feet. The additional gross floor area will not require that
additional loading spaces be provided.

Yard Requirements Meets requirements

The site is located in the C3A zoning district. All of the yard requirements are being met.

Signs Meets requirements

In February of 2010, the Planning Commission approved an amendment to the PUD to allow a
certain amount of signage on each faade of the building. CPED has been tracking all of the sign
permits against the total amount of signage allowed on the building. The applicant is not
proposing any specific signage as part of this application. Any new signage will need to be
reviewed by CPED staff.

Department of Community Planning and Economic Development

BZZ-7092

Refuse Screening Meets requirements

There are two enclosed trash areas on the site.

Screening of Mechanical Equipment Not applicable

No new mechanical equipment will be added to the site as part of the proposed modifications.

Lighting Meets requirements with Conditions of Approval

The applicant has not provided a lighting plan at this time. CPED is recommending that a lighting
plan that meets the requirements of Chapter 535 of the Zoning Code be provided.

Impervious Surface Area Not applicable

There will be no increase in the amount of impervious surface on the site.

Specific Development Standards Meets requirements

The specific development standards for a shopping center are:

1. Only uses allowed in the zoning district in which the shopping center is located shall be
allowed in the shopping center.
2. Uses which require a conditional use permit, site plan review or other land use approval
shall comply with all review and approval requirements of this zoning ordinance.
3. The premises, all adjacent streets, sidewalks and alleys, and all sidewalks and alleys within
one hundred (100) feet shall be inspected regularly for purposes of removing any litter
found thereon.

PO Overlay District Standards Meets requirements

The site is located in the PO Pedestrian Oriented Overlay District. All of the standards of the
overlay district are being met.

3. Conformance with the applicable policies of The Minneapolis Plan for Sustainable Growth.
The Minneapolis Plan for Sustainable Growth identifies the site as mixed use on the future land use map.
The proposed development is consistent with the following principles and policies outlined in the
comprehensive plan:
Policy 10.9: Support urban design standards that emphasize traditional urban form
with pedestrian scale design features at the street level in mixed-use and transitoriented development.
10.9.1
Encourage both mixed-use buildings and a mix of uses in separate buildings where
appropriate.
10.9.2

Promote building and site design that delineates between public and private spaces.

10.9.3
Provide safe, accessible, convenient, and lighted access and way finding to transit stops
and transit stations along the Primary Transit Network bus and rail corridors.
10.9.4
Coordinate site designs and public right-of-way improvements to provide adequate
sidewalk space for pedestrian movement, street trees, landscaping, street furniture, sidewalk
cafes and other elements of active pedestrian areas.

Department of Community Planning and Economic Development

BZZ-7092

Policy 10.10: Support urban design standards that emphasize a traditional urban form
in commercial areas.
10.10.1 Enhance the city's commercial districts by encouraging appropriate building forms and
designs, historic preservation objectives, site plans that enhance the pedestrian environment,
and by maintaining high quality four season public spaces and infrastructure.
10.10.2 Identify commercial areas in the city that reflect, or used to reflect, traditional urban
form and develop appropriate standards and preservation or restoration objectives for these
areas.
10.10.3 Enhance pedestrian and transit-oriented commercial districts with street furniture,
street plantings, plazas, water features, public art and improved transit and pedestrian and
bicycle amenities.
10.10.4 Orient new buildings to the street to foster safe and successful commercial nodes and
corridors.
10.10.5

Limit the visual impact of existing billboards in neighborhood commercial areas.

10.10.6 Require storefront window transparency to assure both natural surveillance and an
inviting pedestrian experience.
10.10.7

Encourage the renovation of existing commercial buildings.

4. Conformance with applicable development plans or objectives adopted by the City

Council.
The Uptown Small Area Plan was adopted by the Minneapolis City Council in February of 2008. The site is
located in the Activity Center character area. The Activity Center should be mixed-use, containing
entertainment, hotels, restaurants, shopping, and destination uses, as well as retailers on the ground
floor of all buildings. The Plan says that Calhoun Square should remain the anchor for Uptown and that
the 100 percent corner of Hennepin Avenue and Lake Street remain active around the clock.
5. Alternative compliance.
The Planning Commission or zoning administrator may approve alternatives to any site plan review
requirement upon finding that the project meets one of three criteria required for alternative
compliance.
Alternative compliance is not required for this project.

Calhoun Square Entry Relocation

Statement of Purpose and Description of Project
March 19, 2015
Project Purpose and Description
Calhoun Square is an urban retail destination shopping center located in the heart of Uptowns vibrant
commercial activity center district. Uptown is known for its unique and eclectic mix of retail, restaurant
and entertainment offerings. It is also one of the metro areas most attractive urban residential due to its
proximity to downtown Minneapolis, the chain of lakes, and the surrounding commercial amenities.
Calhoun Square is a hub of neighborhood activity and a local icon.
The proposed amendment to the site plan for Calhoun Square will allow the entry to the shopping center
that is currently at the corner of Lake Street and Hennepin Avenue to be moved approximately 20 feet to
the east. The existing shopping center entry area will be built out from its current recessed design to create
a new, 957 square foot, street front retail space. The new retail space will have a glass store front with a
door at the corner. The proposed changes will add points of access and interaction with the pedestrian
realm.
The relocation of the shopping center entry will also reduce the area of the restaurant space east of the
entry (previously known as Prime Bar) from 6,457 square feet to 5,900, which creates a much more
economical space, as the restaurant market in Uptown continues to become more and more competitive.
The new entry facing Lake Street will complement the other designated access points to Calhoun Square
from Hennepin Avenue and the Girard plaza and parking ramp. The new entry will be demarcated with an
awning and signage that will make it stand out as a primary entrance to the shopping center more than the
current design. The proposed corner tenant space and relocated shopping center entry is in keeping with
the character of the Hennepin and Lake intersection. The entry to the corner retail tenant of the Rainbow
Building (MAC) is roughly 50 feet from the corner to the west along Lake Street. The entry to Victoria
Secret is approximately 20 feet from the corner.
Currently the entry on Lake and Hennepin is recessed into the building which creates a dark and uninviting
space. It also creates safety issues because of poor visibility due to the recessed entry. The relocated entry
will be flush with the building exterior, providing a more inviting entry into the shopping center and
creating a safer waiting area for the public and mall staff.
The existing transit shelter facing Hennepin south of the building corner will remain but will be reduced in
area from 93 square feet to 52 square feet. All other aspects of the shelter will remain, including heat
lamps and lighting.
Overall changes to the shopping center are minimal. The changes add 400 square feet to the overall tenant
square footage, result in no increase to the gross floor area of the shopping center, and enhance retail
activity and vibrancy at the intersection of Lake Street and Hennepin Ave.

Council Member Lisa Bender

On behalf of the owner of Calhoun Square, located at 3001 Hennepin Avenue, I am writing to inform you that
we are submitting an application to amend the site plan for the shopping center to relocate the existing entry
at the corner of Hennepin and Lake approximately 20 feet to the east on the Lake Street. I have attached a
project description that more fully explains the changes and reasons we are pursuing this improvement. I
have also attached a floor plan of the proposed entry and corner tenant area and a concept rendering of the
new entry location with a canopy over the doors to the center. I am the project manager and Carol Lansing is
our representative for submission of the site plan amendment application. Our contact information is
below. Please feel free to contact either of us if you have questions about the proposal or if you would like us
to meet with the CARAG or LHENA neighborhood organizations about the project.
Thank You,
