The provisions of this section shall apply to all new streets as well as streetscape
improvements to existing streets.
a. Sidewalks or shared use trails shall be provided on both sides of all new streets and
improved existing streets. Where sufficient public right-of-way width does not exist,
and cannot be obtained to accommodate sidewalks or shared use trails on both sides,
an easement shall be required, unless approved otherwise by the community
development director, within a property line adjacent to a right of way to accommodate
the minimum width of a sidewalk clear walkway zone or a shared use trail, as required
by the appropriate Street Type.
b. All sidewalks shall provide a clear walkway zone and a boulevard or street life zone, as
shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5. Illustration of Sidewalk Zones
i. A clear walkway zone shall be a minimum of 6 feet in width, or wider as

delineates the clear walkway zone from the roadway. This zone consists of
street trees, stormwater planting areas, and street furniture, such as benches,
trash cans, bicycle racks, street lighting and street signage.

j. Trees shall be planted in contiguous open planting areas. Where continuous planting
is interrupted by curb cuts, use of a modular suspended pavement system (such as
Silva Cells) is required.
(3) Street Design Standards by Street Type.
The provisions of this section shall apply to all street types as shown on the North End District
Street Network and Types (Figure 3); any private Neighborhood Internal streets shall meet the
same minimum design standards as public Neighborhood Internal streets. All newly

(4) Open Space Standards.
a. Public open space. For each new subdivision, a minimum of 10% of the lot area shall
be dedicated, designed, and accessible as public open space in alignment with the
North End District Open Space Network and Types Regulating Plan (Figure 4) in Sec.
44-691.
i. This public open space requirement supersedes the requirements of Chapter
26 (Parks and Recreation) and the city’s Park Accessibility Charge (PAC).
ii. The standards in Table 4 shall apply to all land dedicated and deeded as public
open spaces. The property owner or developer shall be responsible for making
certain improvements to land dedicated, including, but not limited to, finish
grading, ground cover, construction of trails and clearly identifying park and trail
boundaries with city-approved markers.
iii. If a development site’s location does not coincide with the North End District
Open Space Network and Types (Section 44-691 Figure 4), the city council, at
its discretion, may require a developer to pay to the city cash fees in lieu of
dedication of land for park, recreational, and open space purposes. The cash
contribution in lieu of land dedication must be provided prior to the city
releasing the final subdivision. The amount of any cash in lieu contribution shall
be equivalent to the average fair market value of the 10% of land that would
otherwise be required to be dedicated. For purposes of this section, “fair
market value” means the value of land as determined based on tax valuation or
other relevant data, or as set forth in the city’s fee schedule. If the applicant
disputes the amount of the proposed cash contribution in lieu of the land
dedication, the applicant, at their own expense, may obtain an appraisal of the
property. The appraisal shall be made by approved members of the MAI, or
equivalent real estate appraisal societies. If the city disputes such appraisal the
city may, at the applicant’s expense, obtain an appraisal of the property by a
qualified real estate appraisal. This appraisal shall be conclusive evidence of
the fair market value of the land.

WHEREAS, the City Council believes that the following summary would clearly inform

that the City Clerk shall cause the following summary of Ordinance No. 1026 to be published

Public Notice
The Maplewood City Council has adopted Ordinance No. 1026, creating the North End
Zoning District and establishing sign standards for the new zoning district. The North End
District will be different than other city zoning districts in that it focuses on building placement
and form first, with land use secondary. Thus, the North End form-based zoning district
provides clear standards for how future buildings need to be placed on a site and how a
building’s form needs to relate to the adjacent streets and public spaces. The establishment of
the North End District does necessitate a change to the City’s sign regulations. Moving
forward, the North End District and the M-U Mixed Use District will have the same sign
regulations. Allowable types of signs in both districts will include wall, projecting, window,
awning/canopy and monument.
