Executive summary
Title: Authorization of Metropolitan Council grant application- Texa Tonka Apartments
Recommended action: **Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, this item is considered
essential business and is categorized as Time-Sensitive**
•Motion to adopt EDA Resolution authorizing the submission of a Livable Communities
Demonstration Account (LCDA) grant application to the Metropolitan Council for the
proposed Texa-Tonka apartment project.
Policy consideration: Does the EDA support the submission of a grant application to the
Metropolitan Council LCDA program to facilitate the proposed Texa-Tonka apartment project?
Summary: As noted in the June 22, 2020 study session staff report, Paster Development has a
purchase agreement for the property at the NE corner of Texas Ave and Minnetonka Blvd. In
January, Paster Development indicated it would like to redevelop the site and build a three to
five-story, 95-unit apartment building and two 2-story townhouse buildings with a total of 11
units. The developer is currently drafting plan revisions, conducting environmental
investigations and gathering input from neighborhood leaders. Paster Development anticipates
submitting applications seeking city approvals in July 2020.
Paster Development recently requested that the EDA apply on its behalf to the Metropolitan
Council for its Livable Communities Demonstration Account (LCDA) grant for approximately
$480,000. If awarded, this grant would be used for stormwater, utilities, pedestrian
connections, decorative lighting, and rain gardens. LCDA grant applications are due July 31,
2020, and require a resolution authorizing the grant application from the governing body of the
city where the project is located.
The LCDA grant is only offered once a year and funding awards will be made later this year. The
proposed resolution of support for this grant application does not commit the EDA to any of the
upcoming planning or TIF approvals requested by the developer.
Financial or budget considerations: The LCDA grant request is for $480,000. There is no match
requirement for LCDA Development grants. The EDA would simply serve as the conduit for the
grant funds.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of
housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Resolution authorizing an application
to the Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Demonstration Account
on behalf of Texa-Tonka Residential
Whereas, the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority (“EDA”) is a participant in
the Livable Communities Act (“LCA”) Housing Incentives Program for 2020 as determined by the
Metropolitan Council, and is therefore eligible to apply for Livable Communities Demonstration
Account (LCDA) funds; and
Whereas, the EDA has identified a proposed project within the city that meets the
Demonstration Account’s purposes and criteria and is consistent with and promotes the
purposes of the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act and the policies of the Metropolitan
Council’s adopted metropolitan development guide; and
Whereas, the EDA has the institutional, managerial and financial capability to ensure
adequately project administration; and
Whereas, the EDA certifies that it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations as
stated in the grant agreement; and
Whereas, the EDA acknowledges LCDA grants are intended to fund projects or project
components that can serve as models, examples or prototypes for development or
redevelopment elsewhere in the region, and therefore represents that the proposed project or
key components of the proposed project can be replicated in other metropolitan-area
communities; and
Whereas, only a limited amount of grant funding is available through the Metropolitan
Council’s Livable Communities Demonstration Account during each funding cycle and the
Metropolitan Council has determined it is appropriate to allocate those scarce grant funds only
to eligible projects that would not occur without the availability of Demonstration Account
grant funding.
Now therefore be it resolved that, the St. Louis Park EDA authorizes its Executive Director
to submit an application for Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Demonstration Account
grant funds on behalf of Texa-Tonka Residential for the project component(s) identified in the
application, and to execute such agreements as may be necessary to implement the project on
behalf of the St. Louis Park EDA, where the project is located.

Title: Metropolitan Council and Minnesota Brownfields grant applications - Prince of Peace
Recommended action: **Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, this item is considered
essential business and is categorized as Time-Sensitive**
•Motion to adopt EDA Resolution authorizing the submission of a Livable Communities
Demonstration Account (LCDA) grant application to the Metropolitan Council for the
proposed Prince of Peace apartment project; and
•Motion to adopt EDA Resolution in support of an application by Prince of Peace Apartments
for the Hennepin County Minnesota Brownfields Gap Financing Program.
Policy consideration: Does the EDA support the submission of grant applications to the
Metropolitan Council LCDA program and to the Hennepin County Minnesota Brownfields
program to facilitate the proposed Prince of Peace affordable housing project?
Summary: As noted in the June 22,2020 study session staff report, CommonBond has a
purchase agreement for the Prince of Peace church located at 8115 Highway 7. In January,
CommonBond indicated it would like to redevelop the site and build a four story, 120-unit
apartment building that would be 100% affordable and include an affordable childcare center.
The developer is currently working on plan revisions, conducting environmental investigations
and pursuing financing. CommonBond anticipates submitting applications seeking city
approvals this fall or winter 2021. As part of its financing, CommonBond recently requested
that the EDA apply on its behalf to the Metropolitan Council for its Livable Communities
Demonstration Account (LCDA) grant for approximately $1.6 million. If awarded, this grant
would be used for property acquisition, stormwater management, rain garden and a public
sidewalk. LCDA grant applications are due July 31, 2020 and require a resolution authorizing the
grant application from the governing body of the city where the project is located.
In addition, CommonBond has applied to Hennepin County for its Minnesota Brownfields Gap
Financing program which provides small grants to nonprofits for environmental assessments
and cleanup. The developer applied for $11,000 for investigation to determine any potential
site contamination. This program also requires a city resolution in support of their application.
The LCDA grant is only offered once a year and awards will not be determined until later this
year. The proposed resolutions of support for these grant applications do not commit the EDA
to any of the upcoming planning or TIF approvals that will be requested by the developer.
Financial or budget considerations: The LCDA grant request will be for approximately $1.6 million.
There is no match requirement for the LCDA Development grant. The EDA would simply serve as
the conduit for the grant funds. CommonBond is the grant applicant for the Minnesota
Brownfields grant and will work directly with Hennepin County to administer the grant.

Summary: Project for Pride in Living (PPL) has a purchase agreement to acquire 6027 37th St W
part of 3700 Alabama Ave S from the Union Congregational Church. PPL is seeking city approvals
to construct a three-story, 60-unit apartment building that is 100% affordable at 30% to 80%
AMI. The 2nd reading of the PUD for Union Park Flats is scheduled to be presented to council on
July 6, 2020. PPL requested that the EDA apply on its behalf to the Metropolitan Council for a
LCDA Transit Oriented Development (TOD) grant for $1 million. PPL is requesting this grant be
used for demolition, stormwater, solar panels, sidewalks, bike racks, pedestrian lighting, and rain
gardens. LCDA-TOD grant applications are due July 1st and require a resolution authorizing the
grant application from the governing body of the city where the project is located.
PPL also requested the EDA approve a resolution for its application for funding through the
Minnesota Brownfields Gap Funding Program. This funding would be used to conduct a Phase II
environmental investigation to determine if any contamination exists on the Union Park site. PPL has

Whereas, the Brownfield Gap Financing Program provides small grants to nonprofits for
environmental assessment and clean-up of property in Hennepin County through funding from
Hennepin County’s Environmental Response Fund from Hennepin County Department of
Environmental Services; and
Whereas, Minnesota Brownfields, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, is the administrator
of the Brownfield Gap Financing Program; and
Whereas, Brownfield Gap Financing Program projects benefit the community through the
development or clean-up of greenspace, recreation centers, affordable housing, education
centers, community centers, and neighborhood level economic development opportunities.
Now therefore be it resolved that, the St. Louis Park EDA supports the Union Park Flats
project’s application to Minnesota Brownfields for funding through the Brownfields Gap Funding
Program. This application was submitted to Minnesota Brownfields
on May 29, 2020, by Project for Pride in Living.
I certify that the above resolution was adopted by the St. Louis Park Economic
Development Authority on, July 6, 2020.

Executive summary
Title: Resolution of support for tax increment financing assistance - Union Park Flats
Recommended action: **Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, this item is considered
essential business and is categorized as a Required Action**
• Motion to Adopt EDA Resolution supporting the provision of tax increment financing
assistance for Project for Pride in Living’s proposed Union Park Flats development in an
amount not to exceed $600,000.
Policy consideration: Is the EDA willing to approve a resolution of financial support for tax
increment financing assistance in an amount not to exceed $600,000 to support Project for
Pride in Living’s application for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits with the Minnesota Housing
Finance Authority and other public funders?
Summary: As indicated in the June 22, 2020 study session staff report, Project for Pride in Living
(PPL) is seeking financing from a number of public agencies for its proposed Union Park Flats
affordable housing development. Despite these sources, PPL’s project proforma exhibits a
funding gap. Consequently, PPL applied for tax increment financing (TIF) assistance to address
the remaining gap. Ehlers, the EDA’s financial consultant, and staff reviewed the project’s
proforma and determined that approximately $370,000 in TIF assistance is warranted to enable
the affordable multifamily housing development to become financially feasible and proceed. To
support its July applications to the Minnesota Housing Finance Authority (“MHFA”) and other
public financing agencies, PPL recently requested the EDA adopt a resolution of support for tax
increment financing assistance in an amount not to exceed $600,000, should it subsequently be
proven necessary. This would allow for an increase in the TIF assistance in the event of a funding
shortfall which would need to be confirmed by Ehlers. According to PPL, such a commitment of
TIF assistance would help make the development more competitive when applying for public
financing, as most funders count other public funding sources as leverage which results in a
higher score and consequently would make the project more likely to be funded.
Financial or budget considerations: The attached resolution states that the EDA supports
providing tax increment assistance to reimburse certain costs incurred in connection with the
construction of the Union Park Flats development in an amount not to exceed $600,000. Such
assistance would be provided through a pay-as-you-go note over a period of approximately 10
years. The final TIF amount is contingent upon verification of financial need based on the
project’s final proforma, as well as other requirements of the TIF Act. Once PPL receives
commitments from MHFA and other funders, and its need for financial assistance is further
confirmed by Ehlers, staff will work with PPL to prepare business terms for the formal provision
of the TIF assistance for subsequent EDA review and approval.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of
housing and neighborhood oriented development.

EDA Resolution No. 20 - ____
Resolution expressing support for the proposed use of tax increment financing
for a multifamily housing development by Project for Pride in Living
Whereas, the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority (the “Authority”) and the
City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota (the “City”) have received a request to assist an entity to be
formed by Project for Pride in Living (the “Developer”) with certain costs of construction of an
approximately 60-unit affordable multifamily rental housing development in the City, to be
known as Union Park Flats (the “Project”); and
Whereas, a stated goal of the City’s Inclusionary Housing Policy is the creation of diverse
and affordable housing options for the community; and
Whereas, the success of the Developer’s application for low-income housing tax credits
from Minnesota Housing Finance Authority (“MHFA”) in connection with the Project is
predicated on local support of the proposal; and
Whereas, the Developer has requested that the Authority indicate its support of the use
of tax increment for the Project; and
Whereas, Authority staff has reviewed the proposal and recommends that the Board of
Commissioners support the use of tax increment financing assistance for the Project in an
amount not to exceed $600,000 should it be proven financially necessary in the event of a
subsequent funding shortfall confirmed by the City’s municipal advisor. Such assistance would
be provided through a pay-as-you-go note over a period of approximately 10 years.
Now therefore be it resolved that the Board of Commissioners supports the Project and
the use of tax increment financing for the Project; provided, however, that authorization of tax
increment financing for the Project is solely within the discretion of the City and of the Board of
Commissioners following all legally required proceedings pursuant to Minnesota Statutes,
Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, as amended, including (i) a public hearing and approval by the
City Council of the City; (ii) a determination, based on an analysis performed by the City’s
municipal advisor, that tax increment financing assistance is necessary for the Project; (iii)
verification of development financing need, based on an analysis performed by the City’s
municipal advisor, that substantiates that “but for” the use of tax increment financing, the
Project would be unable to proceed; and (iv) the negotiation of a development agreement
including (among other things) the conditions under which the City or the Authority will provide
financial assistance.
It is further resolved that the Board of Commissioners supports the Developer’s
application to MHFA for tax credits for the Project.

St. Louis Park, Minnesota
May 26, 2020
The meeting convened at 6:30 p.m.
Councilmembers present: Mayor Jake Spano, Tim Brausen, Rachel Harris, Larry Kraft, Anne
Mavity, Nadia Mohamed, and Margaret Rog.
Councilmembers absent: none.
Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), CIO (Mr. Pires), Director of Operations and
Recreation (Ms. Walsh), Senior Planner (Ms. Monson), Building and Energy Director (Mr.
Hoffman), Deputy City Manager/Human Resources Director (Ms. Deno), Sustainability Manager
(Mr. Ziring), Senior Management Analyst (Ms. Solano), and Recording Secretary (Ms. Pappas).
Guests: Stacy Kvilvang & Liz Diaz, Ehlers
1. 2021 Budget
Ms. Kvilvang presented an overview. She noted the city’s budget priorities support core
services, including public safety, recreation, public facilities, utilities, streets, infrastructure and
administration. Additionally, budget priorities include the city’s strategic priorities of
sustainability and racial equity, including the community needs of residents and businesses.
Ms. Kvilvang pointed out in her presentation that if the city does not increase the levy, there
will need to be budget reductions. Likewise, if utility fees which support water, sewer and solid
waste, are not increased, there will either need to be larger increases or the elimination of
capital expenditures, in the future. Additionally, if franchise fees are not increased, the city will
have to hold off on pavement management projects as well.
Councilmember Kraft asked about using taxes for pavement management instead of franchise
fees. Mr. Harmening explained the council made a decision in the early 2000s to use franchise
fees to fund pavement management instead of assessing property owners for street
improvements, but noted the council could decide to instead do a property tax levy or special
assessment to fund.
Councilmember Harris asked how the levy was set in 2008-10 when there were budget
shortfalls. Mr. Harmening stated he will have staff research this and bring those numbers to the
council.
Mr. Harmening noted capital projects are always a good expenditure that can be put off to a
later date but added this will catch up with the city later and then it’s harder to finance these
projects.
City council meeting of July 6, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Page 2
Title: Study session minutes of May 26, 2020
Councilmember Harris stated she is leaning toward a very modest tax increase, if any.
Councilmember Mavity agreed with Mr. Harmening, stating the city will need to be cautious
about stepping back too far on essential services fees, adding when this was done in the past,
there was push back from residents. She stated the city will need to fund core services with
some minimum fees, adding increases are important, as well as looking at program costs. She
stated she would be comfortable up to 3%.
Councilmember Mavity stated if the economy is in a 20-25% downturn, this will continue for 1-
3 years before it shifts back, so the city will want to look at the long view and make sure it’s
sustainable, if there is a deeper downturn.
Councilmember Brausen stated he approves of franchise fees in order to avoid special
assessments and spread costs to all, adding it’s a good way to fund street improvements, by
having everyone pay for the roads they use. He added they should also keep to proposed
increases on utility rates as well, to provide the essentials and maintain adequate reserves for
capital improvement projects, which can be more expensive if held off to the future.
Councilmember Brausen added the city will want to continue to pursue its goals of affordable
housing. He noted he would approve up to a 3% levy increase; however, adding this increase
does not contemplate any new staffing. He noted the impact on the average homeowner won’t
be significant and will be less for apartment dwellers.
Councilmember Rog stated she hopes the city can leverage what has been learned from this
time and create a true new normal. She stated she will not want to pull back on racial equity
work or sustainability and going forward the city should become bolder on these issues
preparing for the future. She stated she is not sure what 3% means, but in order to make an
informed decision, she will need to know more about what the outcomes will be. She stated
the city can be smarter going forward.
Councilmember Mohamed added the city needs to look at creative ways to set the budget,
noting many have lost jobs, and we don’t want to add to their costs. She stated if the city needs
to tighten its belt, she is comfortable with that decision and looks forward to further discussion
on this and minimal increase.
Councilmember Kraft stated he wants to see how projects like Dakota Bridge and others are
affected in the future by this debt. He is not sure what’s right about utility fees, adding he
would not want to get behind. He stated if we are going into a recession or depression, he
would expect the city to be very stringent with requirements put on residents and budget
should be flat or flattish. He added this is a unique time with COVID and racial equity issues,
along with climate change, and the council needs to be financial stewards, while making
progress on these key areas.
Mayor Spano noted the timeline is appropriate and he is not interested in changing franchise or
utility fees. He appreciates the use of these fees as a tool for the city’s infrastructure. He added
he will be letting cost benefit analysis define city spending and ask staff ongoing where the city
can get their best bang for the buck on strategic priorities. He added they may want to look at
City council meeting of July 6, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Page 3
Title: Study session minutes of May 26, 2020
stretching out projects such as Connect the Park from 5 years to 8 or 9 years, in order to defer
expenses. He stated although there was confusion and anxiety from the community on local
option sales tax, he thinks staff and the council need to think about this more broadly and
creatively. Mayor Spano stated he is more interested in a low-end increase between 0-3%.
Councilmember Mavity asked about reserve funds and if they can help mitigate financial
pressures. Mr. Harmening stated the council has reserves, adding that $600,000 has been set
aside for COVID-related expenses, and $400,000 for an infusion of cash, so there are no
reserves right now to rely on. He added if the COVID expenses are not needed, then reserves
would be available.
Councilmember Mavity asked if 40% in reserves would be appropriate. Ms. Kvilvang stated in
order for the city to keep its AAA bond rating, the government financial recommendation is 40-
50%.
Councilmember Mavity asked if they might explore 43 or 44% in reserves, instead of 45%. She
asked also about union contracts and if they have been negotiated. Ms. Deno stated the
contracts are open, except for safety dispatch which was settled at 3%.
Councilmember Mavity stated she agrees with Councilmember Rog on strategic priorities,
adding these priorities should be deeply embedded in how the city does business, and this is
not a time to step back. She added the council does receive clarity from staff on the way
financial planning is provided, and noted she feels confident the city is getting good outcomes.
Mr. Harmening responded to Councilmember Harris’ earlier question on tax rates in 2008-10,
and noted the following increases:
• 2008 - 5.86%
• 2009 - 5.80%
• 2010 - 2.98%
Councilmember Mavity pointed out that property values also went down during that
timeframe.
It was the consensus of the council that maintaining city infrastructure is important, as well as
keeping utility plans. Staff to make recommendation on franchise fees or spreading projects out
over time, look forward several years and modest tax levy increases up to 3%.
Mr. Harmening stated staff will develop a strategy and come back to council with various
scenarios for review.
2. Climate action in time of COVID
Ms. Ziring presented to the council. She noted work on the city’s planned Climate Champions
program which will recognize property owners who commit to undergoing an energy
assessment and making energy improvements using loan or rebate programs. Ms. Ziring stated
the Climate Champions program offerings will include:
• Energy efficient home rebates
City council meeting of July 6, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Page 4
Title: Study session minutes of May 26, 2020
• Commercial business refrigeration match
• City of SLP Green building energy match
• Building operator certification training match
• Thermostat rebates
• Solar programs
Ms. Ziring stated the total costs for her 2021 budget request is $100,000, which is the same
amount requested for the 2020 budget.
Mr. Hoffman gave an overview of RECs, noting it is a unit of renewable energy traded on a
market. He stated they are mentioned in the city’s Climate Action Plan, but it is a council policy
decision on how RECs are used.
Councilmember Kraft agreed with the comments and presentation, noting the COVID crisis is a
dress rehearsal for climate crisis, which kills 100s of thousands of people around the world.
Councilmember Rog added the city has 10 to 25 years to meet the goals of Paris, stating there
are no do-overs here, and every year lost will never be back. Because of COVID and business
concerns at this time, Councilmember Rog stated she agrees with a shift to focus on residential
energy programs now and is interested in staff’s thoughts on this. She asked how many
households are needed to participate in order to meet goals and stated she would like to have
metrics and answers for residents who ask how the city is doing on the Climate Action Plan.
Councilmember Rog stated as a city we know what it looks like to respond to a crisis and use
resources we didn’t know we had. She noted this will be the barometer that can be used for the
climate crisis as well. She asked if there are other short-term things that can be done that will
benefit lower income households, such as carports, creating temporary bike areas, shutting
down roads and making it easier to encourage people not to use cars and increase pedestrian
and bike use.
Councilmember Brausen stated he is generally supportive of the new plan; however, added it
will cost money and we will need to spend less in 2021. He asked about RECs and if they can be
traded, or sold, or are they just for bragging rights. Ms. Ziring stated it is not about bragging
rights, but that the city is not required to have RECs. She noted RECs are suggested within the
Climate Action Plan, and those who wrote the plan originally thought they would be vital to be
retained. She added retaining RECs allows the city to make renewable energy claims legally,
such as being carbon neutral.
Councilmember Brausen stated the focus should be on getting solar energy throughout St.
Louis Park, and then RECs can be given to Xcel. He added he agrees with Councilmember Kraft
that this is the biggest crisis we are facing for long-term survival of the species, and he would be
fine with moving the Climate Champions program to 2021. Councilmember Brausen added he is
less comfortable with slowing the greenhouse gases inventory, adding those metrics will need
to be established as this moves ahead.
City council meeting of July 6, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Page 5
Title: Study session minutes of May 26, 2020
Councilmember Harris asked about RECs being traded, and if there is an entity who holds them
as a certain amount of renewable power. Ms. Ziring stated RECs are a measure of greenness,
and a certificate which proves that the renewable energy cannot be counted twice.
Councilmember Harris asked about air quality, especially with more apartments being built
near busy streets. She asked what the workplan envisions for improving air quality and
emissions. Ms. Ziring stated air quality will be dependent on roads, adding they are looking at
ways to get people out of single occupancy vehicles. She stated they are studying other cities
and can look at MPCA air quality data.
Ms. Ziring stated that closing roads to car traffic can help with emissions and city engineering is
monitoring this option, however, she noted that density in St. Louis Park is lower than in
Minneapolis and that engineering did not yet identify a suitable street with the vehicle volumes
to warrant closing it for walking and biking.
Councilmember Mohamed stated she is happy with the plan and in agreement with it.
Councilmember Rog added she is supportive of the 10-month work plan and the staff
recommendation on RECs. She noted she is not supportive of postponing the greenhouse gas
emissions inventory and would like to see the $30,000 spent as planned. She stated she wants
to see metrics for conversation at home and would like to know how many are needed to
participate in order to make this a meaningful change. She would like to look at larger scale
projects including solar. Councilmember Rog stated she has concerns about backward
movement related to single occupancy vehicles and added she would like to see collaboration
with engineering on street closings for creating more space for biking, walking and scooters.
She asked where the scooters are for this year in St. Louis Park.
Mr. Harmening stated the scooter program was not workable for the city and the scooter
company was going to charge the city a large amount of money to participate in the program,
which made it unrealistic.
Councilmember Mavity stated RECs are very creative and a great strategy, but she cautioned
she would like to see better green standards on housing. She noted, however, costs could also
be higher and added the city will need to be cautious as it might be a disincentive for folks to
come in and provide affordable housing.
Mayor Spano stated he is curious about LEED certification, and asked if there is a cost
associated. Ms. Ziring stated yes, the costs are higher because of requirements from the US
Green Building Council.
Mayor Spano stated RECs seem similar to LEED certification – a badge of honor. Ms. Ziring
stated the city could pay less for power if relinquishing RECs, through discounts. She added the
tradeoff would be showing a building is powered by renewable energy.
Mayor Spano added he would like to see a focus on the actual creation of renewable energy. He
stated he is agreeable with the work plan.
City council meeting of July 6, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Page 6
Title: Study session minutes of May 26, 2020
Councilmember Kraft stated he was involved in helping to write the Climate Action Plan, and at
that time, renewable energy credits were a secondary goal. He stated the goal was how to stop
greenhouse gases and added RECs were not as well understood at that time. He stated the
council will need to come back to this for further discussion.
Councilmember Kraft added he would like to see more metrics, transit, biking, and pedestrians
all working in sync. He asked if the city or staff is really treating climate action as a crisis, and
requested staff think outside the box. He stated he will leave this to Mr. Harmening and Mr.
Hoffman to make sure this is happening.
Councilmember Kraft added, if the city is not developing new buildings with a long-term green
building policy, the can is only being kicked down the road, and ultimately others will be forced
to spend the money.
Ms. Ziring stated the city’s green building policy has been in existence since 2010 but noted
staff will look at other ways to modernize the policy and look at other cities in order to create
one policy for a cohort of cities to work on together. She stated a larger solar project that staff
has been working on is at the Rec Center, adding that funding and financing are being
discussed.
Councilmember Kraft stated he would like Ms. Ziring to present to the council again in one
month, with the conservation in the park goal tied to the Climate Action Plan, green building
codes, pedestrians and bike corridors.
3. Future study session agenda planning and prioritization
Mr. Harmening noted the crime free work group discussion will be held at the June 8 study
session.
Councilmembers Mavity and Kraft agreed it would be helpful to see crime rates data during this
presentation, especially since the ordinance has been on moratorium for 1 year.
Councilmember Mavity added it would be helpful to compare this data over the last 10 years as
well, with neighboring communities.
Councilmember Rog stated, however, the council needs to recall we are not studying the issue
but listening to the information gathered by the work group. She added the council is not
asking for new data to be produced, as that was the work group’s job.
Mr. Harmening noted written item #4 related to temporary expanded outdoor customer
service areas. He stated the city is working to help businesses survive, noting this will require
flexibility and judgement on the part of staff. He stated this should begin, and then course
corrections can be made along the way if needed.
Mr. Harmening stated this policy will also be a large time saver in that the city manager will
have authority to approve temporary liquor licenses, without council approval. If businesses
abuse temporary licenses, the city manager can revoke them quickly as well.
City council meeting of July 6, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Page 7
Title: Study session minutes of May 26, 2020
It was the consensus of the council to support this policy of temporarily expanded outdoor
customer service areas.
The council also discussed recent events related to the death of George Floyd, and noted he
was a St. Louis Park resident.
The meeting adjourned at 9:39 p.m.

Onsuma, Karl Gamradt, Liz Schroeder, and Joey Dobson, Housing Attorney advising the group.
1. Crime/drug-free rental housing ordinance – discussion with workgroup
Mr. Berg, lead workgroup member, presented options A and B to the council.
Councilmember Harris asked for a quick overview of the items to be repealed in the ordinance
in sections 8331, 8332, and the ordinance revision in section 8333. Mr. Berg explained that
8331 deals with definitions, procedure, uses, and criminal and drug activity. He noted if the
police issue a criminal or drug activity, the landlord is required to proceed with eviction. He
stated in option B, this entire section would be repealed. Additionally, in 8332, if a landlord fails
to end the lease when required to do so, the landlord is fined. He stated in option B, this also
would be repealed. With section 8333, this would be a revision to the ordinance because there
is a cross reference here to section 8331. There would no longer be a lease provision for
landlords if 8331 is repealed.
Councilmember Kraft asked if the provisional license is subjective or if there are specific
objectives being recommended. Ms. Schnitker stated the suggested language under 8333
involves changes on the provisional license that are there to not dissuade anyone from calling
police if help is needed but noted the language can be subjective as well.
Councilmember Mavity stated this ordinance was adopted prior to her time on the council, and
its original goal was to deal with a few landlords the city was having problems with. The
ordinance did not exist before that time and one of its key challenges is that it now feels
misdirected and the entire focus and impact of it is now on tenants, instead of landlords.
City council meeting of July 6, 2020 (Item No. 3b) Page 2
Title: Study session minutes of June 8, 2020
Councilmember Mavity added she is strongly in favor of a full repeal of this ordinance because
of the many reasons that have surfaced within the work group. She stated every human being
deserves kindness and respect and in housing, the disparities are huge. She added if the city
had looked at this ordinance through the lens of racial equity, it never would have been
adopted.
Councilmember Mavity stated today we must ask what the role of police in our community is.
She stated she is very proud of the city’s police department and proud that St. Louis Park does
community policing, but the police do not have a role in housing. She added we have asked the
police to do too much, and while they are wonderful people, they do not have expertise in
housing, and yet their decisions can impact a person’s housing for decades. She stated this is
seen more clearly today.
Councilmember Mavity stated it doesn’t work, it’s ineffective, and we have not had this
ordinance in effect for 1.5 years, adding she has not heard of any changes in the city’s crime
rate because of it. She stated this ordinance has had enormous negative impacts on people’s
housing and lives. She stated the ordinance does not align with the city’s race equity work and
it needs to end now.
Chief Harcey explained the impact most noted by police without the ordinance being in place is
the lack of being able to create a strong partnership with landlords and building owners due to
the lack of free flow of information.
Councilmember Mavity stated she appreciated that, but the city’s relationship with residents is
more important than with landlords and everyone else, and residents need to be prioritized.
Chief Harcey stated the system had been in place for many years and owners and managers
relied on the data of what was going on in their buildings.
Councilmember Rog appreciated the work of this group and staff, the challenges faced, and is
sorry for that, but added the group rose to the occasion. She stated she hoped they learned
from each other. She stated there is no question in her mind this is not an ordinance the city
would enact today, stating it flies in the face of the city’s racial equity work and strategic goals.
Councilmember Rog added eliminating police involvement in housing is the direction the city
needs to take, and she will support option B.
Councilmember Rog asked what the rationale is for tenants involved in an appeal of a
provisional license decision. Ms. Dobson stated the provisional license has an impact on the
individual living in that home and if someone is visiting a tenant and there is an issue, the
tenant would have an interest in preserving the roof over their head, so sometimes the tenant
and landlord are on the same page.
Ms. Schroeder stated her property manager lives onsite and is there to support tenants if
needed. If there are issues, she works to correct them, and works with tenants while letting
them know their rights.
City council meeting of July 6, 2020 (Item No. 3b) Page 3
Title: Study session minutes of June 8, 2020
Councilmember Rog stated training will be important for property managers and landlords,
including tenants’ rights and mediation process. She noted it will be a challenge for property
managers, but it’s time to reshape the process, and not default to police, as clearly, they are
not the experts.
Ms. Schroeder added her property manager cares about everyone personally and cares about
folks. She stated landlords and property managers need to care about people and cannot
separate business aspects from people. She added her property manager has invested in
human beings and in the underserved and she hopes every property manager can be like this.
Councilmember Rog thanked Ms. Schroeder for her comments and stated the council would
never implement an ordinance like this today. She stated housing should not be used as a tool
to punish people. Councilmember Rog also noted there are statutes in place that don’t infringe
on fair housing within the city. She quoted from the article provided by Ms. Dobson and added
this ordinance does not work for this community. She stated more data is needed from the
police department in order to justify how much is included in the annual budget for police.
Councilmember Harris stated the ordinance was rooted in improving the quality of life and
keeping crime to a minimum in rental units. She continued that social norms are now different.
She asked the workgroup to comment on the thinking of property managers on the workgroup
who were in favor of option A. Mr. Berg stated none of the property managers or landlords that
served on the workgroup are at tonight’s meeting, and he will not speak for them.
Chief Harcey stated the property managers have looked to the ordinance to have police provide
accurate information on what is going on inside the buildings, and if a tenant is creating a
quality of life issue within a building.
Ms. Schnitker agreed with Chief Harcey, stating the property managers liked getting police
reports in order to know about activity within buildings, but most landlords did agree there
needs to be changes in the ordinance. She added landlords appreciated the information from
police and the relationship with police as well.
Councilmember Harris stated the flow of information from police seems to be a loss for
property managers and landlords. She asked if there is another mechanism for this information
to be conveyed to them. Chief Harcey stated the current ordinance prescribes when police
provide information to landlords, so he would need to know what the community expects of
the police on this issue, and when police should provide information if it is not prescribed by
the ordinance.
Councilmember Harris stated this is an opportunity to recognize what level of service the city
wants police to respond to and what level of interaction police should take in order to create a
peaceful society. She feels it is time to shift from asking police to help with renter disputes.
Ms. Schnitker explained the provisional license provides a tool for the city to address properties
where there are some challenges. She stated the provisional license has only been applied one
time in the city and because of the relationship with the community liaison officer, situations
did not rise to that level.
City council meeting of July 6, 2020 (Item No. 3b) Page 4
Title: Study session minutes of June 8, 2020
Councilmember Harris noted that Richfield has a nuisance fine for rentals and owner-occupied
issues and asked if that could be included in the provisional license process. Ms. Schnitker
stated this could be explored in a future ordinance.
Councilmember Mohamed asked why tenants were not involved when the ordinance was
developed. Mayor Spano stated he spoke to some who were involved in the creation of the
ordinance and no renters were part of the discussion as it was put together in response to an
intransigent property owner, and they were working to get this under control.
Councilmember Mohamed stated last week the council discussed systemic racism and
unintended consequences, and this policy seems to be the epitome of that. She continued to
state it affects renters, which are disproportionately people of color. Councilmember Mohamed
stated this ordinance does not give tenants the right to appeal and she emphasized she is
against having this ordinance in St. Louis Park as it is not racially equitable. It needs to be
changed and dismantled, especially considering all that is currently going on. She continued,
stating this needs to be a private agreement between renter and owner and should not fall
under the purview of the police. Councilmember Mohamed stated St. Louis Park is an inclusive
and safe city and should provide for residents on an equitable level. She stated she will support
option B.
Councilmember Kraft also noted the article from the American Constitutional Society provided
by Ms. Dobson. He stated the point about our criminal justice system has racism in it and then
to tie the housing system into the criminal justice system is not appropriate and does not make
sense. Councilmember Kraft stated, however, this is not to say he does not appreciate the work
of Chief Harcey and the police but noted there are fundamental flaws in the larger system, and
Chief Harcey is aware of this. He added in speaking with some folks involved with problem
landlords, hearing of problems, and of some positives that happened, he challenged staff to
look at what outcomes are wanted here, and to reimagine this relationship between the city
and landlords. He appreciates also the recommendations on the provisional licenses and asked
that more be done here also to get to the outcomes wanted – safe and equitable housing. He
added the positives that happened should be looked at and set up within the framework of the
new system.
Councilmember Brausen stated he appreciates all the thoughts on this difficult topic, adding his
wife is a landlord in the city. He believes housing is a fundamental right for everyone, and that
safe, decent housing is what this ordinance tried to create, but it did not work, had unintended
consequences, and contributed to racial systemic issues. He stated he is in favor of option B and
would like to have landlords trained to recognize mental health issues, criminal activity, when
to call police, along with racial equity training around housing.
Councilmember Rog asked how staff sees training being modified going forward. Ms. Schnitker
stated staff will expand training to cover additional areas that have not been part of training in
the past, and would work to have collaboration between police, housing staff, and building and
energy and racial equity staff to create a comprehensive training program.
City council meeting of July 6, 2020 (Item No. 3b) Page 5
Title: Study session minutes of June 8, 2020
Councilmember Rog added that Minnesota legal aid and other housing experts would be of
great value to the training. She suggested staff also look at the provisional license and apply it
to all rental properties, not just multi-family. Councilmember Rog added the conditions
property managers previously relied on should be put into their rental agreements, and the city
should require that all landlords have a written lease.
Ms. Dobson stated these are all great ideas to consider and highly recommended.
Mayor Spano stated staff will need to investigate training around mental illness for landlords.
He noted the origin of the ordinance was because 1 or 2 property owners were not addressing
criminal activities on their properties, but now this feels like it’s become a regular part of our
housing policy, with no renter input. Mayor Spano stated the power of police is dependent on
the public, and while the police are not perfect, it feels like this policy was formed without the
input of those who were subjected to it. He stated the city puts many demands on the police
department, but they are not mental health professionals. He stated he was supportive of
option B.
Mayor Spano invited the workgroup members to make final comments.
Ms. Schroeder stated again her property manager cares about each tenant, and if there is an
issue at her building, they do not call police first – they call the property manager. She stated
she prefers, if a building has 20 or more units, there should be a property manager that resides
onsite so they can keep an eye on the property and validate if police need to be involved.
Ms. Albright thanked everyone for their comments, adding renters need to lift their voices,
noting that as much as a policy can be created with dignity and value, renters can still feel lower
and denigrated. She continued by stating that everyone must be mindful of this and work to
bring more dignity as these are the renters’ homes.
Mr. Gamradt stated there is racism within policing, and we must be mindful there is also racism
in the community and police still need to respond to calls even if they are not the source. He
stated the city does not have required leases, but this must be put in place, along with requiring
them to have a notification exception for domestic violence or public safety issues. He stated if
this is required, and if there are a certain number of contacts on the building, police can then
let landlords know how many are happening in their buildings. He added renters should be put
on notice and know their rights.
Ms. Onsuma stated she is an immigrant from Kenya, adding it was very hard moving from her
home and making another place feel like home. She stated St. Louis Park is welcoming, but if
someone feels threatened, this is a problem. She stated everyone needs a place to call home,
and if law enforcement is called on a renter, it is scary and makes life hard and unbearable. She
continued this ordinance makes renters feel like this is not home, and it creates stress and
mental issues. She stated she would love to see help for these renters, instead of kicking them
out, and this ordinance has kicked out renters for things someone else did. She added she has
been happy to be a part of this group, to review the ordinance, and help work on good
interaction between tenant and landlord.
City council meeting of July 6, 2020 (Item No. 3b) Page 6
Title: Study session minutes of June 8, 2020
It was the consensus of the council to support option B as presented by the workgroup. The
ordinance will be repealed, and the provisional license portion will be kept in place for now, and
staff will come back with recommendations on that.
2. Future study session agenda planning and prioritization
Ms. Deno noted for the June 15, 2020 meeting, Dave Moll from Redpath will be presenting the
yearly audit results. She added at the June 22, 2020 meeting, there will be updates on COVID,
city financials, and capital debt.
Councilmember Mavity asked about the yearly stormwater plan and if this will be discussed
soon at one of the June meetings seeing the report is due on June 30, 2020. Ms. Deno stated
she will follow up on this and get back to council.
Councilmember Mavity added considering tonight’s conversation, it might be a good time to
revisit city policing practices and data. Ms. Deno stated staff is looking into this and is not
waiting for the state to move ahead on this topic. She noted this will be on the agenda again
soon.
Councilmember Harris asked if it might be helpful to partner with Discover St. Louis Park and
request that city businesses require masks be worn, especially for those with underlying health
conditions or those over 65 years old. She stated this would be a proactive approach and asked
staff to research this. Councilmember Harris stated she would encourage health and human
services enforce this vs. police. Ms. Deno stated she will have staff look into this.
Councilmember Rog stated she would like an update on city engineering projects.
Mayor Spano stated he would like a broader policing discussion and whole new conversations
on this soon. He added he asked Mr. Harmening to set up a tour for council at the now almost
completed Westwood Hills Nature Center. Ms. Deno stated staff will follow up and figure out
how to do a tour following government restrictions related to public gatherings.
Councilmembers Kraft and Mohamed stated they will be proposing a couple items for study
sessions regarding policing issues in the next few days. Councilmember Kraft stated they want
to discuss efficiencies and outcomes-based information.
Councilmember Brausen stated he would not want to go through another 10-hour policing
policy discussion and asked if staff can assist the new councilmembers with their questions and
concerns.
Councilmember Brausen added today was supposed to be the ribbon cutting ceremony for the
new nature center. He stated an email from staff on the status of the construction and when
the center might be open to the public would be helpful, along with when the old structure is
set to be torn down.
Councilmember Brausen referenced the written report about the billboard ordinance and
stated he is not interested and is against electronic billboards.
City council meeting of July 6, 2020 (Item No. 3b) Page 7
Title: Study session minutes of June 8, 2020
Councilmember Rog agreed and stated changing the ordinance and allowing more billboards
does not seem to be in the public interest at all.
Mayor Spano agreed stating at some point he hopes billboards will not be a good source of
advertising.
Councilmember Kraft agreed, but stated he has seen some billboards turned into solar power
which helped put solar power back into the grid.
The meeting adjourned at 9:12 p.m.

Executive summary
Title: Resolution appointing election judges for the 2020 state primary election
Recommended action: **Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, this item is considered
essential business and is categorized as a Required Action**
• Motion to adopt Resolution appointing election judges for the August 11, 2020 state
primary election.
Policy consideration: None – the city council is required to formally appoint election judges
under Minnesota election law.
Summary: MN Statute 204B.21, Subd. 2 and St. Louis Park Home Rule Charter section 4.03
provide that election judges for precincts shall be appointed by the governing body of the
municipality at least 25 days before the election at which the judges will serve. Election judges
are assigned to precincts based on availability, statutory party balance requirements, and the
number required for each location to adequately serve voters. Some election judges work full
day shifts while other opt to work half-day shifts. Election judges can serve without affiliation to
a major political party but may be exempt from performing certain tasks at the precinct. The
resolution contains the names of those individuals who have been assigned to work at a precinct
on August 11, 2020. All judges are required to complete at least two hours of training under
state law. In St. Louis Park, many election judges attend two training sessions, one focused on
equipment and one focused on Election Day administrative procedures, for a total of
approximately four hours of training. Students from St. Louis Park High School will also be
working as judges in our precincts on Election Day. Student judges serve without party affiliation.
Every effort is being made to ensure we are adequately staffed and prepared to provide
excellent service to voters who choose to visit a polling place on Election Day. Increased health
and safety protocols have been implemented in accordance with guidelines from the CDC and
Minnesota Department of Health. We are fortunate to have a very dedicated group of election
judges who are ready to work and committed to providing this vital service to the community.
We also have emergency backup plans in place should we encounter a shortage of workers
prior to Election Day. Elections staff is working closely with each polling place and our
operations team to plan for safety and security, and to address concerns related to COVID-19.
Financial or budget considerations: The 2020 budget includes the funds required to hire and
train election judges
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to creating opportunities to build
social capital through community engagement.

members of the St. Louis Park absentee ballot board; and
Be it further resolved that the city clerk is authorized to make any substitutions or
additions as deemed necessary.

Title: Amendment for Dakota-Edgewood trail bridge consultant contract – project no. 4019-2000
Recommended action: **Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, this item is considered
essential business and is categorized as a Required Action**
•Motion to authorize execution of an amendment to the professional services contract with
SRF Consulting Group, Inc. in the amount of $89,749.82 for the final design of the Dakota-
Edgewood trail bridge project (4019-2000).
Policy consideration: Does the city council wish to continue with the final design and bidding of
the Dakota-Edgewood trail bridge?
Summary: The city entered into contract No. 76-18 with SRF Consulting Group, Inc. in June of
2018 to complete the preliminary and final design for the Dakota-Edgewood trail bridge from
26th Street to Cedar Lake Road. As the project has progressed through the final design phase,
there were changes to the project that were not originally scoped or exceeded the original
estimated scope. Amendment 3 is necessary to address the additional time and resources that
were needed to produce the final design and receive state and federal approval for the plan
set. The project has received federal funding and will be out to bid in early July.
Original contract $499,309.00
Amendment 1 (approved by City Manager) $ 37,854.00
Amendment 2 $163,248.61
Amendment 3 $ 89,749.82
Contract total $790,161.43
Financial or budget considerations: This project is included in the city’s Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) for 2019. The estimate for the entire project is $9,142,207. The project is
proposed to be funded using general obligation bonds as part of the Connect the Park. The
federal funding in the amount of $2,918,400 will be used to offset a portion of the construction
costs.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a variety of options for
people to make their way around the city comfortably, safely and reliably.

Title: Amendment for Dakota-Edgewood trail bridge consultant contract – project no. 4019-2000
Discussion
Background: The city entered into contract 76-18 with SRF Consulting Group Inc. in June of
2018 to complete the preliminary and final design for the Dakota Avenue bridge and bikeway
from 26th Street to Cedar Lake Road.
Amendments 1 and 2 focused on design elements as the project transitioned from preliminary
design into final design. The major expenditures in amendment 3 were needed to finalize the
design and achieve approval. The major items related to this amendment include:
•Coordination with regulatory agencies.
•Project management due to the four-month extension of the project development.
•Design and insertion into the plans for the stair tower on the north side of the BNSF
railroad right of way that was added during the March 16, 2020 council approval.
•Modifications to the final plan set to remove the art and associated infrastructure from
the bridge as directed at the March 16, 2020 council meeting.
•Permit fees for Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.
•Tree inventory and assessment for tree replacement consistent with city practices.
•Land purchase instead of permanent trail easement for approximately half of parcel 1.
Schedule: The following is the proposed project schedule:

Title: TS 729 – Authorize permit parking at 3715 Quebec Avenue
Recommended action: **Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, this item is considered
essential business and is categorized as a Required Action**
•Motion to adopt Resolution authorizing installation of permit parking restrictions in front of
3715 Quebec Avenue.
Policy consideration: This authorization of parking restrictions is allowed per the city’s special
parking permit policy (Sec. 30-160).
Summary: In June 2020, staff received a request from a resident at 3715 Quebec Avenue for a
medical needs parking permit. The resident requires curbside access to vehicles adjacent to
their property due to mobility concerns.
The city’s code (Sec. 30-160) and past practice allow for permit parking in these types of
situations. It has been the city’s practice to use permit parking, which can be removed when the
individual needing access no longer resides there or no longer needs the access.
Staff considers the request to be valid and supports the installation of permit parking at 3715
Quebec Avenue. This recommendation is based on the following:
•A resident of the household has limited mobility and is eligible for a parking permit.
•Conflicting parking tendencies with neighbors will be mitigated.
Financial or budget considerations: The cost of enacting these controls is $300 and will come
out of the general operating budget. Parking signs can last on the street for roughly 10 years.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a variety of options for
people to make their way around the city comfortably, safely and reliably.

•Motion to approve second reading and adopt Ordinance adding Section 36-268-PUD 17 to
the zoning code and amending the zoning map from R-3 two-family residence to PUD 17 and
approve the Summary Ordinance for publication.
Policy consideration: Does the proposed redevelopment meet the city’s affordable housing and
neighborhood development goals? Does council approve waiving the 2-acre minimum
requirement for a planned unit development (PUD)?
Summary: Project for Pride in Living (PPL) requests the city amend the zoning map and zoning
text in order to construct a new 60-unit, 100% affordable apartment development on property
located at 3700 Alabama Avenue and 6027 West 37th Street. As part of the developer’s request,
council is asked to waive the 2-acre minimum requirement for a PUD
The planning commission held a public hearing on June 3, 2020, and the commission
unanimously recommended approval of all applications.
On June 15, 2020, city council unanimously approved a resolution amending the
Comprehensive Plan 2040 Land Use Map for 3700 Alabama Avenue South and 6027 37th Street
West from civic (CIV) to high density residential (RH), a resolution for a preliminary and final
plat, a resolution rescinding previous special permits on the project site and approved the first
reading of the ordinance for a preliminary and final planned unit development (PUD).
Staff provided additional information in the report responding to some of the discussion
councilmembers had regarding distribution of affordable housing in the city, questions about
certain architectural features, and regarding future traffic.
Financial or budget considerations: The developer applied for tax increment financing (TIF)
assistance in the amount of $500,000 to defray a portion of its extraordinary expenses. The
economic development authority will consider the application on July 6, 2020.
Strategic priority considerations:
•St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in racial equity and inclusion in order to create
a more just and inclusive community for all.
•St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood
oriented development.

Discussion
Background: Union Congregational Church currently owns and operates the subject property.
The site is three blocks from the Wooddale Avenue light rail transit station that is currently
under construction and will begin operations in 2023. The church will sell a portion of their
property to an affiliate of PPL; this affiliate would then own and manage this new housing for
the long term. The northern portion of the existing church building, as well as the surface
parking lot on the west side of the site, will be demolished in order to allow construction of the
new apartment building.

PUD planned unit development
Inclusionary housing policy. The development would provide affordable housing for families,
with units ranging from studios to three-bedrooms. It is proposed that all units in the building
be affordable to households at or below 80% of the area median income (AMI). The
development will function as an income averaging development, in which the units would be
considered affordable to households at incomes ranging from 30% AMI to 80% of AMI with a
building average income of 50-60% AMI. This level of affordability exceeds the city’s
Inclusionary Housing Policy requirements.
Green building policy. The proposed Union Park Flats will comply with the city's green building
policy by meeting SB2030 goals and following the Enterprise Green Communities Criteria
('GCC'). The project has a goal of obtaining over 105 points through the GCC, compared to 35
points for a typical GCC project. Some of the project's specific sustainable include a new
underground stormwater management system, high efficiency building systems, construction
waste recycling, and a solar photovoltaic array.
Present considerations: The applicant requests that the city amend the zoning map and zoning
text to rezone the subject properties from R-3 two-family residence to PUD planned unit
development.
Zoning Analysis: A PUD is a rezoning and zoning text amendment that establishes the
regulations for a specific property.
The site does not meet the 2-acre minimum for a PUD request; however, the city council may
waive this requirement. Staff and planning commission support the use of a PUD zoning for this
property as it allows for conditions and requirements that fit the context and character of the
individual site and advances the city’s climate action and inclusionary housing goals.
The next page shows a map with the area of interest from the city zoning map and proposed
change.

Building and site design analysis. Union Park Flats meets the PUD ordinance goals for building
and site design. The quality of building and site design proposed will substantially enhance
aesthetics of the site and implement relevant goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
The design creates a unified environment within project boundaries by ensuring architectural
compatibility of all structures, efficient vehicular and pedestrian circulation, aesthetically
pleasing landscape and site features, and design and efficient use of utilities.
The design achieves compatibility of the project with surrounding land uses, both existing and
proposed, and minimizes the potential adverse impacts of the PUD on surrounding land uses
and the potential adverse effects of the surrounding land uses on the PUD.
The project will comply with the city’s green building and inclusionary housing policies.
Zoning analysis. The following table provides the development metrics. The property will be
rezoned to a planned unit development (PUD). The proposed performance and development
standards, as indicated in the development plans, establish the development requirements for
this property if approved.

Title: Union Park Flats redevelopment
Public engagement process. All property owners within 500 feet of the proposed development
were notified by mail of both neighborhood meetings, the final revisions to the project to be
submitted to planning commission for review, and the public hearing. Legal notices were
published in the official newspaper regarding the public hearing. Information was shared
through NextDoor and the city website. A “proposed development” sign with contact
information was posted on the property. Notifications regarding the proposal met State Statute
and city code requirements and included additional efforts beyond those minimum
requirements.
Large neighborhood meetings: The developer held two large neighborhood meetings on
January 7, 2020 and March 10, 2020. The first meeting had approximately 50 attendees and the
second meeting had approximately 125 attendees.
Small neighborhood group meetings: City staff, PPL and church leaders met a few times with a
small group of neighborhood leaders over the course of the project. All of these meetings were
held via web conference due to the current health pandemic. This neighborhood leaders group
shared their guiding principles for the Elmwood neighborhood and their areas of concern and
priority. These are shared in the public correspondence exhibits attached to this report.
Additional public feedback: All letters and emails staff have received were included in the June
15 staff report to city council.
Public hearing. Planning commission held a public hearing via videoconference on June 3, 2020.
About 23 people gave testimony via telephone, both in support and opposed to the project for
similar reasons given in the large and small neighborhood meetings. The planning commission
unanimously recommended approval of all applications.
City council meeting. On June 15, 2020 city council approved a resolution amending the
Comprehensive Plan 2040 Land Use Map for the subject properties from civic (CIV) to high
density residential (RH), approved a resolution for a preliminary and final plat, approved a
resolution rescinding previous approvals on the subject properties, and approved the first
reading of the ordinance for a preliminary and final planned unit development.
Council discussion regarding the application covered several topics, including concentration of
affordable housing in any one part of the city, elements of the architectural design, and future
traffic levels especially on Alabama Avenue. Below is some information that was gathered in
order to respond to some of these issues.
Concentration of affordable housing. The city’s inclusionary housing policy focuses on new
development, so areas with more development since adoption of the policy will also likely see
more new affordable units. The two maps below show the latest available information
regarding housing affordability in the city. One map shows the locations of affordable owner-
occupied housing affordable to households making 80% of AMI, and the neighborhood
boundaries. The other focuses on renter occupied properties. It shows the affordability of
apartment buildings built before 2018 and buildings approved, under construction, or opened
since 2018. The number of new units and affordability levels of the new units are shown in the
table and listed by neighborhood.

Title: Union Park Flats redevelopment
Building design. The applicant does not propose further changes to the building design.
Regarding the roof design, PPL indicated the flat roof works better for this project for a few
reasons. It better accommodates the planned 40 kW solar array and the solar array would be
less visible to neighbors on a flat roof than mounted on the south-facing side of a sloped roof.
The flat roof design also has space to accommodate a potential future expansion of the solar
array and a system up to 200kW, which a sloped roof could not accommodate. An expanded
system could provide much more sustainable energy and more environmental benefit.
Presently, 40 kW is the largest system that Xcel will permit a private property owner to
construct and still tie into the grid. PPL will continue to investigate this issue in order to pursue
possible expansion of the solar array in the future. Second, without the partial 4th floor tucked
into the pitched roof, the appearance of the building was quite bland; the expanse of the roof
was large and uninterrupted and the dominant material visible was asphalt shingle. Third, a flat
roofed building is shorter. While PPL heard both aesthetic concerns about a flat roof and
concerns about height from neighbors, height seems to be dominant concern.
Regarding softening the building approach to Brunswick Avenue, PPL noted that the artist
rendering showing the view from Brunswick Avenue excludes most of the trees, shrubs and
plantings proposed in the landscape plan, so the building would be more visible in the image.
The landscaping planned for the area will further soften the transition between the building
and the public sidewalk. Also, the private sidewalks from the first-floor walkouts connect to the
public sidewalk on Brunswick.
PPL doesn’t typically provide balconies on their buildings because they add to up-front costs
and ongoing maintenance costs. The first-floor walkout units included in the current design for
this building are somewhat unusual for a PPL project. Adding to the project costs would raise
PPL’s concern about the project viability.
Additional traffic study. The comprehensive plan mobility chapter included analysis of the
projected growth of each area of city and the projected traffic upon the road network. Alabama
Avenue in the Elmwood neighborhood is within city transportation analysis zone (TAZ) number
65, which includes land south of Hwy 7, west of Wooddale Avenue, north of Excelsior Boulevard
and east of the Canadian Pacific railroad tracks. Growth projected in TAZ 65:
• Population will grow from 1,300 to 1,525 in 2030 and to 1,732 in 2040.
• Households will grow from 682 to 800 in 2030 and to 866 in 2040.
• Employment will grow from 531 to 844 in 2030 and to 990 in 2040.
The mobility plan makes traffic projections based on the estimated population, household and
employments changes from contributing areas. In 2013 Alabama Avenue had 2,600-2,700
annual average daily trips (AADT). The city forecasts traffic will be 3,000-3,100 in 2040. This is
well within the design capacity of Alabama Avenue which is a municipal state aid road.
The Union Park Flats development will generate fewer trips than the existing daycare use and
will have fewer trips during the peak traffic periods when system impacts at intersections are
most pronounced.
Based on the above information, staff find additional traffic study is not warranted at this time.
