Executive summary
Title: Administrative modification to the tax increment financing plan for Shoreham TIF District
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 approving the modification of the tax increment financing
plan for the Shoreham TIF District to allow for additional pooling for eligible rental housing.
Policy consideration: Does the EDA support pooling an additional 10% within the Shoreham TIF
District to use for eligible rental housing?
Summary: As stated in the Annual TIF District Management Review & Analysis, prepared by
Ehlers and presented at the November 12, 2019 study session, the Minnesota TIF Act allows for
the EDA/City to pool up to an additional 10% of tax increment above the standard allowable
limit for rental housing that meets low-income housing tax credit requirements. The projects
need to be tax credit eligible, meaning that they are both rent- and income-restricted. The rent
and income guidelines are defined as rental housing with 20% of the units occupied by
households at 50% of area median income (AMI) or 40% of the units occupied by households at
60% of AMI, and rents for all the income-restricted units must not exceed 30% of the applicable
income limit. Eligible uses include acquisition and site preparation, construction, rehabilitation
and public improvements directly related to the housing, as long as these costs were not
funded through tax credits. The funds can be spent anywhere within the city and do not need
to be located within a specific project area.
The remaining principal balance on the Shoreham TIF Note after the August 1, 2020 payment
was made is $124,608.63 and the note is expected to be paid off on February 1, 2021. Once the
final payment on the note obligation is made, the district must either be decertified or the TIF
plan modified. With this TIF plan modification, 35% of the increment can be retained annually
through the required decertification date of 2043 for eligible affordable housing costs. The
remaining 65% of the increment would be returned to the county each year for redistribution
to the city, county and school district as general property taxes. Pooled funds will need to
remain in the TIF district until eligible affordable housing expenses are incurred.
Financial or budget considerations: It is estimated there could be approximately $4.5 million
available for pooling for affordable housing through 2043 from the Shoreham TIF District.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of
housing and neighborhood oriented development.

EDA Resolution No. 20 -____
Resolution approving a modification to tax increment financing
plans for the Shoreham Tax Increment Financing District in
connection with pooling for affordable housing
Whereas, the City of St. Louis Park (the “City”) previously established Redevelopment
Project No. 1 (the “Project Area”) and adopted a Redevelopment Plan therefor, as amended
(the “Redevelopment Plan”). The City and the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority
(the “Authority”) have also established the Shoreham Tax Increment Financing District (the “TIF
District”), a redevelopment TIF District, within the Project Area, and adopted a Tax Increment
Financing Plan for the TIF District (the “TIF Plan”), pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections
469.174 to 469.1794, as amended (the “TIF Act”);
Whereas, in connection with making an election to authorize certain expenditures for
affordable housing pursuant to Section 469.1763, Subdivision 2(d) of the TIF Act, the Authority
desires to amend the TIF Plan for the TIF District to provide for administrative changes to the
budgets set forth therein (the “Amendments”);
Whereas, the Amendments do not increase the total estimated tax increment
expenditures, amount of bonded indebtedness, or capitalized interest, or make any other
changes that would require a new public hearing pursuant to Section 469.175, subd. 4 of the
TIF Act.
Now, therefore, be it resolved as follows:
1. Findings for the adoption of the amendments. The Board of Commissioners
finds that the Amendments are intended to carry out the objectives of the Redevelopment Plan
for the Project Area, to create an impetus for the construction of decent, safe and sanitary
housing for persons of low and moderate income by better utilizing blighted, polluted and
underutilized land and enhancing the tax base of the City, and to otherwise promote certain
public purposes and accomplish certain objectives as specified in the Redevelopment Plan, as
modified, and in the Amendments.
The Board of Commissioners hereby ratifies and confirms the findings made in
connection with the establishment of the TIF District.
2. Election to authorize certain expenditures for affordable housing. In
accordance with Section 469.1763, Subdivision 2(d) of the TIF Act, the City and Authority may
elect to increase by up to 10% the permitted amount of expenditures for activities located
outside the geographic area of any tax increment financing district, provided that the
expenditures (a) be used exclusively to assist housing that meets the requirement for a
qualified low-income building, as that term is used in section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code;
(b) not exceed the qualified basis of the housing, as defined under section 42(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code, less the amount of any credit allowed under section 42 of the Internal Revenue
Code; and (c) be used to: (i) acquire and prepare the site of the housing; (ii) acquire, construct,
or rehabilitate the housing; or (iii) make public improvements directly related to the housing.

is needed around the purpose and goals of the program. The goals have been to
develop an interconnected network of bike and pedestrian routes linked to transit
systems. The network is the end. Success is being measured based on the number of
miles of bikeways and sidewalks that have been built. During the Wooddale discussion
engineering stated this was not necessarily the best option. In order to complete this
segment, because the network is the goal, he stated he would like to see goals shifted to
be more explicitly tied to outcomes. Specifically, he proposed the goals to be safely and
equitably maximizing the trips within St. Louis Park that don’t use cars. He added in
changing the purpose and goals…”

8a. Bid tab for Dakota-Edgewood Trail Bridge – project 4019-2000
Mr. Sullivan presented the report.
Councilmember Harris noted 135 students of all races attending schools north of the
trail and this bridge would provide access to Peter Hobart school as well as access the
community gardens, dog park, basketball court, and baseball fields. She stated one of
the elements of the climate action plan focuses on reducing vehicle miles traveled in the
community. Connecting the north and south sides will provide a safer infrastructure and
she is grateful for the pause on this discussion so more neighbors could weigh in. She
stated she received letters both in favor of the project and in opposition as well, and
noted the financial discussion was helpful.
Councilmember Harris asked about the financial impact related to the project and what
the annual tax burden might be for residents if the project had the 20-year bonding. Ms.
Lammers stated the tax impact in 2021-22 from the bridge project would involve a tax
impact of $26 per year increase to the average homeowner. This relates to the bridge as
well as other projects. The bridge impact will be less than this.
Councilmember Harris stated the benefit for students will be for the Peter Hobart
students. She added the benefits will also encourage folks to walk and bike vs. using cars
for transportation, and this bridge will contribute to this. She stated this is also a
regional connector to bike trails and SWLRT. She stated she is supportive of the project.
Councilmember Rog stated she valued the pause also and took the last few weeks to
learn more from staff, learn the options, and engage with residents. She will support the
bridge project as well.
Councilmember Rog noted she supports the 20-year bonds as an investment that will
last a long time, as well as the annual impact and she appreciates the reduction on tax
payers. She does also empathize with residents on taxes and will keep a sharp eye on
this project and others. She added the bridge project is a good investment and critical
infrastructure that supports the goals of the city. She stated it is the right choice to
support this project despite the impact on the levy.
Councilmember Rog added the location of the bridge was made years ago and the final
design and location does represent a 2-year community process which involved
neighbors and schools, as well as safety and environmental consideration, adding there
is process in place, although the process might be imperfect. She added this location has
great connections to Peter Hobart, the high school, Walker Lake, Wooddale station,
ward 4 businesses, and the West End, and she will support it.
City council meeting of October 5, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Page 5
Title: City council meeting minutes of Sept. 8, 2020
Councilmember Rog noted several social media discussions related to this project and
the city’s racial equity commitment. She appreciates the commitment to racial equity
within the community but added she does not see this project and the city’s racial
equity commitment as mutually exclusive. She added the city is approaching racial
equity slowly, such as investment in bipoc home ownership. She hopes the city can do
more down the road, but added an investment in STEP is not an investment in racial
equity per se. Councilmember Rog stated this is still in the early stages and cancelling
this project or postponing it because it hurts bipoc groups is not something she is
hearing or knows to be true. She stated when the council knows what outcomes they
are aiming for and why, they will be able to address this issue better. She added
transportation options are a form of equity as well.
Councilmember Kraft appreciated the pause also. He asked about the $2.9 million of
federal funding, how the city got this amount. Mr. Sullivan stated the city applied for
this funding years ago but were unsuccessful and submitted again two years later. He
noted how prices have escalated over time, so the dollars were divided between
projects based on estimates and how much is available in order to spread the wealth
around.
Councilmember Kraft asked about contingencies and if at this point there is less of a
chance of going over. Mr. Sullivan stated contingencies start high and then reduce over
time.
Councilmember Kraft stated he struggled with this project’s costs, but he does believe
more north-south routes are needed for trips without cars, which makes the community
stronger and also helps it reach critical climate action goals.
Councilmember Kraft asked at what cost does a project become not so good. He said he
heard cost increases are typical, but stated the city needs to become atypical. He said
this is a $5.5 million decision, but added the city needs better pedestrian and bike
models, and he appreciated the models staff provided with students at Peter Hobart.
Councilmember Kraft stated he was concerned with the impact on the levy and
appreciated staff’s work around this. He agrees with the 20-year bonding process and is
open to looking at how to use franchise fees in the future. He added he supports the
bridge project and would like to learn from the process and do a debrief to include the
contingency process, which feels too low. He noted he would like to not include
contingency in the estimates going forward, and just include it in the range. He stated
staff should think about what the range looks like.
Councilmember Brausen stated he continues to support this important north-south
system for transit. He added bikes and walking now are only at the JCC, on Louisiana
Avenue, and at the Virginia underpass, so this is a crucial route to add. He noted in this
area there are more diverse populations, and this will assist them in moving around the
city.
City council meeting of October 5, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Page 6
Title: City council meeting minutes of Sept. 8, 2020
Councilmember Brausen stated the council needs to look at the cost of not doing this,
stating if we don’t do it, the city will lose over a decade of planning, and years of
community participation. He added if the project is not done, the city will possibly lose
the $2.9 million and a generation of bikers that will bike to Peter Hobart. He added
everyone he talked to in the city said it really matters to create this connection and
many told him the city needs to take on the expense and burden of this because it’s
important. He stated he will support this project.
Councilmember Mohamed stated she will support this project because after talking with
residents, she learned why the bridge is important to many. She stated the price was
hard to swallow, but it is important to have this connection, as well as having more
pedestrian and bike-friendly routes. She stated, however, she wants the council to think
about where their city investments are going and who is benefitting from these
investments, adding she wants to keep the same energy going to invest in racial equity
projects going forward.
Councilmember Mavity stated she continues to support this project for all the reasons
mentioned, adding she does not take the costs lightly. She stated people made the
decision to invest in infrastructure and created a community all benefit from. She stated
the council needs to take the long view and know they are making decisions for many
years and for many people to benefit from.
Mayor Spano added this community has always been very forward thinking and the
council has supported that. He stated the council has always supported ways to move
folks around town without cars, and kudos to those that have done so.
Mayor Spano stated 50 years from now, folks will appreciate the decisions the council
made on this project. He thanked staff for their work on the financial estimates related
to the project. He also thanked the council for their considerations on the project, and
stated he will support it.
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Mavity, to
designate Redstone Construction, LLC the lowest responsible bidder and authorize a
contract with the firm in the amount of $7,340,684.26 for Dakota-Edgewood Trail Bridge
project 4019-2000 and to approve the construction administration services contract with
SRF Consulting Group, Inc. in the amount of $836,973.
The motion passed 7-0.
8b. Council ward 2 seat resignation and vacancy Resolution No. 20-124
Councilmember Mavity stated she and her husband will be moving into Minneapolis and
she will be submitting her resignation as of October 31, 2020. She noted she will miss
her colleagues and the city, and that a process will now be developed by the council to
find her replacement, adding she looks forward to the council appointing someone
fabulous from ward 2.

8c. Adopt Resolution authorizing expenditures of Coronavirus relief funds by the
city and the St. Louis Park economic development authority Resolution No. 20-
125
Councilmember Rog noted $3.6 million has been awarded to St. Louis Park by the CARES
Act, and she stated funding has been allocated to STEP for $108,000 and to Discover St.
Louis Park for a $35,000 grant, as well as grants in the amount of $425,000 to many
small businesses in the city. She added she is pleased about the decisions made about
where to direct these resources.

Mavity, Nadia Mohamed, and Margaret Rog
Councilmembers absent: none
Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), Engineering Director (Ms. Heiser), CFO (Ms.

Guests: Stacy Kvilvang, Ehlers
1. Dakota Edgewood trail bridge
Mr. Harmening stated staff answered several questions and concerns of council about the trail
bridge, adding that the report reflects these answers.
Ms. Kvilvang discussed financial impacts of the project. She noted goals for the discussion will
include the bridge discussion, 2021 capital plan, and 2021 tax revenue/levy. She noted
franchise fees will cover pavement management projects as per council policy. Ms. Kvilvang
pointed out over the next 10 years the city will bond for capital costs at 34%. She noted the levy
increase is 1.2% with average yearly debt levy of $318,000.
Ms. Kvilvang added the average home levy increase will be $26 annually, which is $2 per
month. She pointed out the total levy increase would be about 6%, which covers the general
fund, including staff increases. She noted it’s best to set the levy higher and then work to
decrease if possible.
Councilmember Mavity noted last year was 4.96% tax increase, which was a $73 per year
increase. She added the 6% for 2021 increase is actually less and asked if this is correct. Ms.
Kvilvang stated yes, that is correct.
Councilmember Harris asked if the bridge project is included in the capital improvement plan.
Ms. Kvilvang stated yes as well as all the other capital projects discussed earlier.
Councilmember Rog asked if the increase of 6% reflects the Nature Center costs coming on.
Ms. Kvilvang stated this is already included as well as the debt service increases, such as the
trail bridge.
City council meeting of October 5, 2020 (Item No. 3b) Page 2
Title: Study session minutes of Sept. 8, 2020
Councilmember Mohamed stated the tax increase is 6.11% and last year it was $73. She asked
for clarification here. Ms. Kvilvang provided clarification and stated because the overall
valuation of homse has increased, this allows for a lower tax increase.
Councilmember Kraft asked about 6.11% tax increase and stated the council was aiming for that
to be 3% or less. He asked about the future capital needs, debt information, the 2021 pavement
management being $30 million, and bonding at $5 million. He asked for clarification. Ms.
Kvilvang explained that 3 sources pay for pavement management: franchise fees, tax levy, and
MSA funds. She stated bonds are only used when needed.
Councilmember Kraft stated $20 million seems to be unaccounted for here and he would like
more detail. Mr. Harmening stated staff can provide more of a breakdown on the numbers for
the council at next week’s meeting.
Councilmember Brausen stated the 2022 projected increase shows $105 noting this includes
the pedestrian bike bridge debt that will be paid for and asked if that’s correct. Ms. Kvilvang
stated yes, adding the biggest portion comes in 2022.
Mayor Spano asked about the 2021 levy at 6.11% at $37 per year increase. He asked if this gets
down to 3%, what the cost would be to the homeowner. Ms. Kvilvang stated it would be a tax
decrease.
Councilmember Mavity stated setting the levy higher in September and bringing it down later
has happened every year she has been on council. She added she is comfortable with the $37
increase and then going lower.
Councilmember Rog asked if the typical staff COLA increase is 3%. Mr. Harmening stated it is
typically around 3%, but given we are in the midst of Covid, the recommendation has been to
go to 1%.
Councilmember Rog asked about the new positions and the fire position being an expense vs. a
decrease. Mr. Harmening stated this all nets out as there will be a savings in the fire
department.
Councilmember Rog asked about the 20-year vs. 10-year bonds and what the additional costs
are if the timeframe is doubled and spread out over 20 years.
Councilmember Rog referenced the franchise fees issue and how we collect $4 million each
year for pavement management. She is interested in exploring whether a portion of these fees
should be used to reduce the debt service on the bridge, provide more fluidity and flexibility
going forward, in terms of it aligning with the city’s commitment to non-vehicle travel. She
asked also what the trade-off is with storm water fees. Ms. Kvilvang stated the difference
would be approximately $300,000 from a 20-year to a 10-year bond.
Mayor Spano stated if we are making a policy change here, this should be a robust and stand-
alone discussion at a different time, although it is a creative idea.
City council meeting of October 5, 2020 (Item No. 3b) Page 3
Title: Study session minutes of Sept. 8, 2020
Councilmember Rog agreed with Mayor Spano, adding at the appropriate time it would be
helpful to see what the possibilities are.
Mr. Harmening stated pavement management revenue sources are broken out by the
improvements being done, and then funding would come from that particular area of the
budget.
Councilmember Harris stated the levy and debt load is a big picture look at how the Dakota
Bridge fits into the budget. She noted the 20-year bonding and asked if this is the lowest cost
option for the community in terms of bonding. Ms. Kvilvang explained that 20-year bonding
makes this project more affordable over time vs. 10 years, which would impact homeowners
and residents more.
Councilmember Kraft asked if the bridge project expenses will come in 2021 or 2022. Ms.
Kvilvang stated in 2022.
Councilmember Kraft asked of the 7.22% increase in 2022, if 1.2% is for the bridge. Ms. Kvilvang
stated yes.
Councilmember Brausen stated the increase of the general levy by 3% and the impact of the tax
burden on residents goes down because of redistribution around industrial and commercial.
Ms. Kvilvang agreed and added redistribution around rental property also.
Councilmember Brausen commented on the 20-year vs 10-year bonding. He stated the 20 year
is a basic fairness argument and a project that will last 100 years. He added to give the burden
to tax payers in 10 years does not seem fair, and stated it does not work here to pay it off early.
Here the project will be paid off over a longer period of time and also spread to future residents
as well to pay for it. He stated he is supportive of the staff recommendation for 20-year
bonding.
Mr. Harmening stated any decision on the bridge project tonight by council is not related to the
tax levy or the 20-year vs. 10-year bond financing. He stated staff will come back to council with
more discussion on these items at a future meeting.
Councilmember Kraft asked what the timing would be if council wanted to review the
pavement management plan and policy and franchise fees. Mr. Harmening stated this
discussion can be part of the overall financial management plan.
The meeting adjourned at 6:31 p.m.

Title: Administrative modification to the tax increment financing plan for Shoreham TIF District
Recommended action: **Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, this item is considered
essential business and is categorized as Time Sensitive**
•Motion to adopt Resolution approving the modification of the tax increment financing plan
for the Shoreham TIF District to allow for additional pooling for eligible rental housing.
Policy consideration: Does council support pooling an additional 10% within the Shoreham TIF
District to use for eligible rental housing?
Summary: As stated in the Annual TIF District Management Review & Analysis, prepared by
Ehlers and presented at the November 12, 2019 study session, the Minnesota TIF Act allows for
the EDA/City to pool up to an additional 10% of tax increment above the standard allowable
limit for rental housing that meets low-income housing tax credit requirements. The projects
need to be tax credit eligible, meaning that they are both rent- and income-restricted. The rent
and income guidelines are defined as rental housing with 20% of the units occupied by
households at 50% of area median income (AMI) or 40% of the units occupied by households at
60% of AMI, and rents for all the income-restricted units must not exceed 30% of the applicable
income limit. Eligible uses include acquisition and site preparation, construction, rehabilitation
and public improvements directly related to the housing, as long as these costs were not
funded through tax credits. The funds can be spent anywhere within the city and do not need
to be located within a specific project area.
The remaining principal balance on the Shoreham TIF note after the August 1, 2020 payment is
$124,608.63 and the note is expected to be paid off on February 1, 2021. Once the final
payment on the note obligation is made, the district must either be decertified or the TIF plan
modified. With this TIF plan modification, 35% of the increment can be retained annually
through the required decertification date of 2043 for eligible affordable housing costs. The
remaining 65% of the increment would be returned to the county each year for redistribution
to the city, county and school district as general property taxes. Pooled funds will need to
remain in the TIF district until eligible affordable housing expenses are incurred.
Financial or budget considerations: It is estimated there could be approximately $4.5 million
available for pooling for affordable housing through 2043 from the Shoreham TIF District.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of
housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Title: Administrative modification to the tax increment financing plan for Shoreham TIF District
Resolution No. 20 -____
Resolution approving a modification to tax increment financing
plans for the Shoreham Tax Increment Financing District in
connection with pooling for affordable housing
Whereas, the City of St. Louis Park (the “City”) previously established Redevelopment
Project No. 1 (the “Project Area”) and adopted a Redevelopment Plan therefor, as amended
(the “Redevelopment Plan”). The City and the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority
(the “Authority”) have also established the Shoreham Tax Increment Financing District (the “TIF
District”), a redevelopment TIF District, within the Project Area, and adopted a Tax Increment
Financing Plan for the TIF District (the “TIF Plan”), pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections
469.174 to 469.1794, as amended (the “TIF Act”);
Whereas, in connection with making an election to authorize certain expenditures for
affordable housing pursuant to Section 469.1763, Subdivision 2(d) of the TIF Act, the City
desires to amend the TIF Plan for the TIF District to provide for administrative changes to the
budgets set forth therein (the “Amendments”);
Whereas, the Amendments do not increase the total estimated tax increment
expenditures, amount of bonded indebtedness, or capitalized interest, or make any other
changes that would require a new public hearing pursuant to Section 469.175, subd. 4 of the
TIF Act.
Now, therefore, be it resolved as follows:
1.Findings for the adoption of the amendments. The Council finds that the
Amendments are intended to carry out the objectives of the Redevelopment Plan for the
Project Area, to create an impetus for the construction of decent, safe and sanitary housing for
persons of low and moderate income by better utilizing blighted, polluted and underutilized
land and enhancing the tax base of the City, and to otherwise promote certain public purposes
and accomplish certain objectives as specified in the Redevelopment Plan, as modified, and in
the Amendments.
The Council hereby ratifies and confirms the findings made in connection with the
establishment of the TIF District.
2.Election to authorize certain expenditures for affordable housing. In
accordance with Section 469.1763, Subdivision 2(d) of the TIF Act, the City and Authority may
elect to increase by up to 10% the permitted amount of expenditures for activities located
outside the geographic area of any tax increment financing district, provided that the
expenditures (a) be used exclusively to assist housing that meets the requirement for a
qualified low-income building, as that term is used in section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code;
(b) not exceed the qualified basis of the housing, as defined under section 42(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code, less the amount of any credit allowed under section 42 of the Internal Revenue
Code; and (c) be used to: (i) acquire and prepare the site of the housing; (ii) acquire, construct,
or rehabilitate the housing; or (iii) make public improvements directly related to the housing.
The Council hereby elects to authorize utilizing up to 35% of the tax increment from the TIF

Title: Administrative modification to the tax increment financing plan for Shoreham TIF District
District, less any amount utilized for administrative expenses, for such housing expenditures as

attached as Exhibit A.
3. Approval of the amendments. The Amendments are hereby approved in
substantially the form presented to the City and on file in the office of the Economic
Development Coordinator. City staff, advisors and legal counsel are authorized and directed to
proceed with the implementation of the Amendments. City staff is hereby directed to file a
copy of this resolution and the Amendments with the Taxpayer Services Division of Hennepin
County, the Office of the State Auditor and the Commissioner of Revenue.

Resolution No. 20 -____
Resolution approving a modification to tax increment financing
plans for the Eliot Park Tax Increment Financing District in
connection with pooling for affordable housing
Whereas, the City of St. Louis Park (the “City”) previously established Redevelopment
Project No. 1 (the “Project Area”) and adopted a Redevelopment Plan therefor, as amended
(the “Redevelopment Plan”). The City and the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority
(the “Authority”) have also established the Eliot Park Tax Increment Financing District (the “TIF
District”), a redevelopment TIF District, within the Project Area, and adopted a Tax Increment
Financing Plan for the TIF District (the “TIF Plan”), pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections
469.174 to 469.1794, as amended (the “TIF Act”);
Whereas, in connection with making an election to authorize certain expenditures for
affordable housing pursuant to Section 469.1763, Subdivision 2(d) of the TIF Act, the City
desires to amend the TIF Plan for the TIF District to provide for administrative changes to the
budgets set forth therein (the “Amendments”);
Whereas, the Amendments do not increase the total estimated tax increment
expenditures, amount of bonded indebtedness, or capitalized interest, or make any other
changes that would require a new public hearing pursuant to Section 469.175, subd. 4 of the
TIF Act.
Now, therefore, be it resolved as follows:
1. Findings for the adoption of the amendments. The Council finds that the
Amendments are intended to carry out the objectives of the Redevelopment Plan for the
Project Area, to create an impetus for the construction of decent, safe and sanitary housing for
persons of low and moderate income by better utilizing blighted, polluted and underutilized
land and enhancing the tax base of the City, and to otherwise promote certain public purposes
and accomplish certain objectives as specified in the Redevelopment Plan, as modified, and in
the Amendments.
The Council hereby ratifies and confirms the findings made in connection with the
establishment of the TIF District.
2. Election to authorize certain expenditures for affordable housing. In
accordance with Section 469.1763, Subdivision 2(d) of the TIF Act, the City and Authority may
elect to increase by up to 10% the permitted amount of expenditures for activities located
outside the geographic area of any tax increment financing district, provided that the
expenditures (a) be used exclusively to assist housing that meets the requirement for a
qualified low-income building, as that term is used in section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code;
(b) not exceed the qualified basis of the housing, as defined under section 42(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code, less the amount of any credit allowed under section 42 of the Internal Revenue
Code; and (c) be used to: (i) acquire and prepare the site of the housing; (ii) acquire, construct,
or rehabilitate the housing; or (iii) make public improvements directly related to the housing.

attached as Exhibit A.
3. Approval of the amendments. The Amendments are hereby approved in
substantially the form presented to the City and on file in the office of the Economic
Development Coordinator. City staff, advisors and legal counsel are authorized and directed to
proceed with the implementation of the Amendments. City staff is hereby directed to file a
copy of this resolution and the Amendments with the Taxpayer Services Division of Hennepin
County, the Office of the State Auditor and the Commissioner of Revenue.

Title: Amendment to contract for Monterey Dr-Beltline Blvd-36th St Bikeway – projs. 4020-1101
and 4021-2000
Recommended action: **Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, this item is considered
essential business and is categorized as Time Sensitive**
•Motion to authorize an amendment of the professional services contract 144-18 with SRF
Consulting Group, Inc. in the amount of $178,610 for the final design of the Monterey
Drive-Beltline Blvd-36th Street bikeway and street improvements projects nos. 4020-1101
and 4021-2000.
Policy consideration: Does the city council wish to continue to pursue the second phase of
street rehabilitation, as identified in this report?
Summary: In October of 2018, the city entered into an agreement with SRF Consulting Group,
Inc. for the concept layout for the Monterey Drive, Beltline Boulevard and 36th Street bikeway
and street improvements. This contract also included the preliminary and final design for
Monterey Drive up to, and including, the roundabout at Beltline Boulevard in 2020.
During the preliminary design process in 2019, it was recommended that the Monterey Drive
segment would be split into two phases. Monterey Drive from Excelsior Boulevard to Park Commons
Drive would be built in 2020 to coincide with the construction of Bridgewater Bank (Phase 1). The
remainder of Monterey Drive up to Beltline Boulevard would be constructed in 2021 (Phase 2).
While shifting Phase 2 to 2021, it made sense to include the improvements along Beltline
Boulevard from Monterey Drive to Park Glen Road and 36th Street from Beltline Boulevard to
the northbound Highway 100 ramps. Splitting Monterey Drive into two phases and adding the
segments of bikeway on Beltline Boulevard and 36th Street were not part of the original
contract with SRF Consulting Group. Amendment #1 is needed to complete the final design for
this addition to the project scope.
SRF Contract 144-18 (October 2018) $263,529
Amendment #1 $178,610
Total $442,139
Financial or budget considerations: This project is included in the city’s Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) for 2020 and 2021. The funding will be provided by a combination of MSA, Utility,
and General Obligation Bonds. The initial contract and Amendment #1 are within budget of the
expenditures estimated in the CIP.
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 to contract for Monterey Dr-Beltline Blvd-36th St Bikeway – projs. 4020-1101 and 4021-2000
Discussion
Background: Construction of Monterey Drive Phase 1 was completed in the summer of 2020.
Work occurred from the intersection of Excelsior Boulevard to just north of Park Commons
Drive to coincide with the redevelopment of Bridgewater Bank. The work consisted of
modifications to the intersection of Monterey Drive and Park Commons Drive, dedicated space
for on-street bike lanes (to be signed with Phase 2) and additional width for sidewalk along the
east side of Monterey Drive. The improvements to this segment are consistent with the
improvements envisioned for the remainder of the corridor as outlined in the council approved
preliminary layout from October of 2019.
Phase 2 will include the following three segments:
• Monterey Drive from Park Commons Drive through the intersection of Beltline
Boulevard/36th Street – Rehabilitation of the roadway to add on-street bike facilities to
the corridor that includes:
o Replacing the traffic signal at the intersection of Monterey Drive, Beltline
Boulevard and 36th Street with a roundabout.
Full access to the Rec Center from this intersection.
The roundabout will have solar-powered rectangular rapid flashing
beacons (RRFBs) at all 4 legs of the roundabout to enhance pedestrian
crossing safety.
In addition to the RRFBs there are center refuge medians and a reduced
number of travel lanes that significantly decrease the crossing distance
for any pedestrian. The current signalized intersection has the longest
crossing distance at approximately 85 feet and four lanes of traffic. The
longest pedestrian crossing at the proposed roundabout is 26 feet and
two lanes of traffic, with most of the crossings at 14 feet and one lane of
traffic.
o Restricting the intersection of Melrose Center and Monterey Drive to a right in/
right out.
o A reduction from 4 lanes of traffic to 3 lanes.
o Improvements to the sanitary sewer forcemain.
o Rehabilitation of the existing pavement.
o Installing a center median with low maintenance vegetation where feasible to
improve aesthetics and minimize stormwater impacts.
This median will require annual long-term maintenance by the city.
o Enhancing the existing RRFB at the intersection of 36th 1/2 Street and Monterey
Drive.
o No changes to the existing parking restrictions.
• Beltline Boulevard from 36th Street to Park Glen Road – Rehabilitation of the roadway
to add on-street bike facilities to the corridor that includes:
o Installing on-street bike lanes that connect with the SWLRT project work
occurring north of Park Glen Road and the Beltline Boulevard Station.
o A reduction from 4 lanes of traffic to 3 lanes.
o No changes to the existing parking restrictions.
o Improvements to the pedestrian crossing at 35th Street.

Title: Special assessment – sewer service line repair at 1600 Hampshire Avenue South
Recommended action: **Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, this item is considered
essential business and is categorized as Time Sensitive**
• Motion to adopt Resolution authorizing the special assessment for the repair of the sewer
service line at 1600 Hampshire Avenue South, St. Louis Park, MN. P.I.D. 05-117-21-43-0004.
Policy consideration: The proposed action is consistent with policy previously established by
the city council.
Summary: Matthew Heinrichs and Tara Walker, owners of the single-family residence at
1600 Hampshire Avenue South have requested the city authorize the repair of the sewer
service line for their home and assess the cost against the property in accordance with the city’s
special assessment policy.
The city requires the repair of service lines to promote the general public health, safety and welfare
within the community. The special assessment policy for the repair or replacement of water or
sewer service lines for existing homes was adopted by the city council in 1996. This program was put
into place because sometimes property owners face financial hardships when emergency repairs like
this are unexpectedly required. Plans and permits for this service line repair work were completed,
submitted, and approved by city staff. The property owner hired a contractor and repaired the sewer
service line in compliance with current codes and regulations. Based on the completed work, this
repair qualifies for the city’s special assessment program. The property owners have petitioned the
city to authorize the sewer service line repair and special assess the cost of the repair. The total
eligible cost of the repair has been determined to be $ 4,380.00.
Financial or budget considerations: The city has funds in place to finance the cost of this special
assessment.
Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

Title: Resolution appointing election judges for the 2020 state general 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 Nov. 3, 2020 state general 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 others opt to work half-day shifts. Election judges are required to declare a party
affiliation with one of Minnesota’s four major political parties or declare that they will serve
without affiliation. Those who serve without affiliation to a major political party are exempt from
performing certain tasks at the precinct that are required by law to be performed by judges of
differing major political parties. The resolution identifies individuals assigned to work at a
precinct on Nov. 3, 2020 as well as individuals who serve on the city’s absentee ballot board. All
judges are required to complete at least two hours of training under state law. In St. Louis Park,
many election judges attend multiple training sessions (total 4-6 hours of training) because they
serve in a leadership or other specialized role on Election Day or they assist with other elections
activities such as absentee voting or health care facility voting. Students from St. Louis Park High
School will also be working in our precincts on Election Day and 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 people
who are ready to work and committed to providing this vital service to the community. We also
have over 130 individuals available as alternates who are trained, and available on-call should
we encounter a shortage of workers on or immediately prior to Election Day. Elections staff is
working closely with each polling place, our election workers, and our operations team to plan
for safety and security and 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.

1.Call to Order – Roll Call
2.Approval of Minutes of June 3, 2020
Commissioner Dumalag made a motion to approve the minutes. Commissioner Erwin
seconded the motion, and the motion passed on a vote of 7-0.
3.Public Hearings
A.Approvals for a new medical office building at 6009 Wayzata Blvd.
Applicant: Patrick J. Giordana on behalf of The Davis Group
Case Nos: 20-09-S, 20-10-VAR, 20-11-CUP
Ms. Monson presented the staff report. She stated Mr. Giordana on behalf of The Davis
Group requests a preliminary and final plat to combine four parcels into one, a
conditional use permit to remove more than 400 cubic yards of fill, and a variance of 25
parking spaces in order to redevelop the site and construct a 77,500 square foot, 3-story
medical office building at 6009 Wayzata Blvd.
Ms. Monson stated the applicant seeks approval to construct a 77,500 square foot, 3-
story medical office building with 324 surface parking space, 51 underground spaces,
and proof of parking for 20 spaces for a total of 324 parking spaces.
Ms. Monson added there are many sustainable features included with this building.
Ms. Monson stated city council is scheduled to hold a public hearing regarding the
vacation application for the proposed vacation of a portion of 14th Street and to review
the preliminary and final plat, conditional use permit, and variance applications on
August 17, 2020. She noted staff finds all conditions have been met and recommends
City council meeting of October 5, 2020 (Item No. 4h) Page 2 Title: Planning commission meeting minutes August 5, 2020
the preliminary and final plan, variance and conditional use permit be approved as
outlined in the staff report.
Commissioner Erwin asked if the new development will require any no parking signs.
Ms. Monson stated yes, it will be striped for no parking on Wayzata Avenue.
Commissioner Dumalag stated she has a conflict of interest and will recuse herself from
the discussion and vote.
Commissioner Beneke asked about expansion and applying for another variance at a
later date. He also asked about the dead-end, and about the parkland fee and paying on
the non-plated part.
Ms. Monson stated the variance conditions are specific to the use being requested and
parking is calculated based on use. Any additions would increase the parking requirement
and they would need to request an additional variance for further parking reductions.
Regarding the dead end, Ms. Monson noted it was vacated in the 1950s and the applicant
is requesting the city vacate an additional portion of the right of way so as to add a little
more space for parking. She stated there is no public purpose for this right of way, and
added council will approve this vacation.
Ms. Monson stated the developer has already paid the parkland fees and fees are
typically paid in advance. The majority of the property has already been plated, and the
additional portion will be paid for, as it has not been previously plated.
Commissioner Weber asked about the current policy on medical office parking and how
it compares to other cities like Richfield and Bloomington. He wondered if the council
may revisit the parking requirement and if it is germane that the commission asks the
council to revisit parking requirements for medical offices.
Ms. Monson stated the council has not looked at this currently, but staff has discussed
looking at this especially as things move forward with Covid and social distancing. She
stated it is in the commission’s purview to ask the council this question.
Chair Kraft opened the public hearing.
The applicant stated they are excited about the project and have been waiting for a long
time to develop this property with a medical office building. He stated he is appreciative
of the commission viewing the plans tonight and is available for any questions.
Commissioner Weber asked if the developer will have the proof of parking but will not
park and if they had a need to build parking spots out later.
Mr. Davis stated they have had proof of that in the past, but have not built it out, as
many do not want as much parking any longer today. He stated the bigger push today is
to reduce the asphalt and leave more room for landscaping. He added they have not
City council meeting of October 5, 2020 (Item No. 4h) Page 3 Title: Planning commission meeting minutes August 5, 2020
had a problem in their other buildings and do not anticipate in the short term they
would need any additional parking.
There were no callers on the line for this item.
Chair Kraft closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Beneke made a motion, Commissioner Weber seconded, and
recommending approval of the PPL, CUP and Variance, all subject to conditions
recommended by staff.
The motion passed on a vote of 6-0-1 (Commissioner Dumalag abstained).
B.2400 Edgewood – excavation for pedestrian bridge
Applicant: City of St. Louis Park
Case Nos: 20-13-CUP
Gary Morrison, presented the staff report. He noted the bridge is part of Connect the
Park to include a north/south bikeway connection, along with pedestrian crossing.
Chair Kraft opened the public hearing.
There were no callers on the line for this item.
Chair Kraft closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Weber made a motion, Commissioner Dumalag seconded,
recommending approval of the CUP for excavation at 2400 Edgewood for a pedestrian
bridge, subject to conditions recommended by staff.
The motion passed on a vote of 7-0.
4.Other Business – none
5.Communications
Mr. Walther noted on the second public hearing the project has been on the cities list
since 1978, so it is exciting to have this moving forward.
Mr. Walther noted the next meeting will be held on August 19 and will be a study
session only by video conference. He noted the public will be able to join by audio.
Mr. Walther noted the US Census has been underway since March and non-response in-
person follow up begins tomorrow. He encouraged all to complete the 2020 census, and
stated the city is at a 78% response rate, which is better than the state response as a whole.

STUDY SESSION
The study session commenced at 6:17 p.m.
1.Accessory dwelling units (ADUs)
Ms. Trapp explained ADU’s and noted they can expand housing and allow for more affordable
housing units. She noted they come in many different shapes and forms and the city is looking
to develop a definition, to comply with the MN state building code, including internal, attached
or detached.
Ms. Trapp added they will be allowed on only single-family lots, in R1, R2 or R3 zoning areas. An
ADU that’s detached needs to be at least 6 feet away from the primary unit.
ADU’s can also be in the side or back yard.
Mr. Walther explained about roof pitch and considerations to be reviewed for the ordinance. He
stated at some point the commission will need to provide feedback to help in writing the rule.
Ms. Trapp discussed set back and height as well as parking. She stated the recommendation is
to not have additional parking for an ADU as it is being treated as a single-family home.
Prohibition of sale of the ADU is also recommended, and that the property all be treated as
one. Prohibition on short-term rentals is city code and Ms. Trapp stated this is the time to make
that clear within the ordinance.
Commissioner Beneke asked if basements are allowed, second stories on homes as ADUs and
second stories on garages.
Ms. Trapp stated the second story is allowed depending on if it would be part of the dwelling or
a separate dwelling unit. If separate then fire walls would be needed. She added this is fairly
City council meeting of October 5, 2020 (Item No. 4i) Page 2 Title: Planning commission meeting minutes August 19, 2020
limited depending on the slope. She stated it the ADU is to be completely separate from the
primary unit, then a fire barrier would be needed.
Chair Kraft asked about the detached unit and the setbacks and how the 5-9 foot was arrived
at. She asked about smaller back yards in St. Louis Park where it would be difficult to build
these units.
Mr. Trapp stated earlier 5 feet was discussed, but added it might vary from district to district
and also that it will be on a lot by lot basis also. Mr. Walther added today you can build a
detached garage in a side yard, but it needs to meet the setbacks required within the districts. If
the detached unit is in the backyard, it can then be in the back yard.
Commissioner Beneke asked about allowing parking in driveways. Mr. Walther stated the
restrictions are only related to parking on the street, and if there is on-street parking available,
then parking is allowed there.
Commissioner Dagane asked about the structure of an ADU. Mr. Walther stated if staying
within a 15-foot height, materials just need to stay compatible, but do not have to be the same.
If taller at 24-foot pitch, then at least one of the house materials must be incorporated into the
detached ADU.
Commissioner Erwin asked about owner occupied ADUs. She stated she would not be in favor
of non-owner occupied ADUs. She said she would be concerned that people would increase
maximum uses.
Ms. Trapp stated if a rental license that is managed through the city, there will be less concern
about this because the city would be tracking. Mr. Walther stated if there is concern about
using ADUs for short term rental, then the code will be clarified and enforcement will become
important.
Commissioner Eckholm stated the way rental laws will be applied here will help with any
potential abuses. He added it won’t work to make it owner occupied unless the ADU can be
sold separately, and then there would be more flexibility. He added if the goal is more housing,
it may be a difficult way to get there.
Chair Kraft stated she likes the way the ordinance is written now, with the owner not needed to
be on site. She stated rental agreements work on other properties and this can work for folk’s
flexibility and incentive for people to add ADUs to their property.
Commissioner Dumalag added if this eliminates other barriers to housing, then she is for it.
Commissioner Erwin stated the solution to create more affordable housing is creating more
multi-family apartments and increasing the affordable units within them. Her concerns with
increasing rental properties within single-family areas, is pricing out younger families to
purchase single-family homes.
Commissioner Beneke added home in St. Louis Park are already becoming more expensive and
he also is concerned about pricing out folks to purchase single-family homes.
City council meeting of October 5, 2020 (Item No. 4i) Page 3 Title: Planning commission meeting minutes August 19, 2020
Commissioner Eckholm stated he is worried about giant, corporations coming in and buying
multiple houses and renting them out within owned property areas.
Mr. Walther stated regarding affordability, if someone is going to build a stand-alone ADU, the
costs involved are the same as building a house, so this is not that affordable. However, he
added, folks have said the cost of caring for a family member on a homeowner property can be
less expensive than a nursing home.
Mr. Walther stated he will propose to maintain the ordinance as it is, and not requiring owner-
occupied property. He added if the planning commission wants to change it back at the public
meeting that can happen at that time. He added the council is wanting to create more housing,
so allowing this to be all rental vs. owner occupied may appeal to the council, so he suggested
keeping it not be all owner occupied.
Commissioner Beneke stated he is comfortable with how it is currently and asked also for some
varied language if the commission decides to go with owner-occupied instead.
Mr. Walther stated staff will provide alternative language related to owner-occupied options.
Commissioner Eckholm added he would not want to include ADUs to be sold separately from
the primary home. Mr. Walther agreed.
Commissioner Erwin asked how many commissioners are needed to pass the ordinance. Mr.
Walther stated a majority of 4 commissioners would be needed.
Commissioner Eckholm asked how a home occupation affects the ordinance. Mr. Walther
stated it would not prevent someone from residing in the ADU from having a home occupation.
He stated this would refer to a home-based business in the ADU.
Commissioner Erwin asked if property taxes would increase if an ADU is included on a property.
Mr. Walther stated he will ask the city accessor about this. Ms. Trapp stated it would be an
improvement to the property, so there would be value changes. She stated she can also follow
up on that question.
The commissioners noted they did not have any issues with the roof pitch guidance.
The public hearing for this issue will be at the September 2nd planning commission meeting.
2. Historic Walker Lake mixed-use zoning district
Laurie Chamberlain, HGKI, gave an update on the district and an overview of the area design
guidelines. She explained the area has retail and slight industrial uses. Input from residents,
businesses owners in the area, as well as the planning commission and city council was used for
the guidance.
Chair Kraft asked about the allowable uses and additional uses. She asked how many non-
conforming uses will be allowed in the district.
City council meeting of October 5, 2020 (Item No. 4i) Page 4 Title: Planning commission meeting minutes August 19, 2020
Ms. Monson stated auto-repair stations will be a non-conforming use, as long as they continue
to operate, they will be allowed. She noted Ready Rents is also non-conforming. She added all
C2 uses are now all allowed also and will be non-conforming.
Additionally, some set-backs may be non-conforming also as they relate to the high school
being so close.
Mr. Walther stated there will still be liquor license restrictions at 1000 feet restriction from the
high school.
Ms. Chamberlain noted some of the elements of what can be done to properties in the district.
She noted one main feature of the design should follow the historic examples, however this
doesn’t mean they need to have a replicated historic look. She stated innovation is encouraged
in the architectural details. Other elements include canopies and signage, which can help
businesses distinguish themselves within the district and encourage interaction at the
pedestrian level. She also noted open spaces and adaptable spaces that can be utilized for
sitting and/or other uses to activate sites such as the use of food trucks or activities/events.
Additionally, raised planters and street levels come together to convey the feeling of the
Historic Walker Lake district.
Commissioner Beneke asked about landscaping and if this is done by the businesses or by the
city. Ms. Monson stated all landscaping will be done by the individual property or business
owners. If the city did this, there would need to be a special service district with a contract over
10 years. She continued within this district there are smaller businesses, so there was no
interest by the businesses to pay for a special service district.
Mr. Walther added the city is doing some improvements within the district such as sidewalks
and seating, but there are things being suggested over and above this. In the special service
district, the items over and above would be paid for by the merchants.
Commissioner Ekholm stated the images shown convey the district very well.
Chair Kraft added she liked the mix of showing the actual district as well as areas around the
country, along with the text.
Commissioner Dumalag added the images are great that were shown. She stated license
numbers should be blackened out as well as campaign signage that is shown.
Mr. Walther stated the commissioners can email him with any further questions about the
presentation on the district.

STUDY SESSION

1.2020 Work Plan revisited (priorities, revised timelines, COVID, Racial Equity)
Mr. Walther presented background and the staff report to the commission. He stated the
report gives context to the discussion regarding city council and comp plan strategic direction,
adding that these items will be tied back to the strategic priorities.
Mr. Walther stated the discussion will focus on council’s priorities, including accessory dwelling
units, home occupation rules, approaches and general direction.
Commissioner Eckholm stated home occupation is a good item to focus on, as well as single-
family building scale limits. Mr. Walther agreed adding the council is set to discuss this as well
and give direction.
Commissioner Beneke stated he is interested in owner occupancy as well, and more affordable
housing ideas. He added reviewing the ADU concept every few months might be worthwhile as
well.
Commissioner Erwin stated she is interested in housing initiative and affordable housing
discussions as well. She said she is interested in discussion the percentages of allowable units in
family-housing development.
Commissioner Dumalag agreed adding she would like to also discuss housing analysis and the
direction of affordable housing in the community as well.
Mr. Walther stated housing staff can be brought in to assist with housing discussions.
Commissioner Eckholm added he would like to discuss housing analysis and affordable housing
and looking at this without ratio of ownership vs. rental threshold, stating he could see public
support issues unfolding if a ratio is mandated in the city.
City council meeting of October 5, 2020 (Item No. 4j) Page 2 Title: Planning commission meeting minutes September 2, 2020
Commissioner Erwin agreed with this adding it’s difficult to create policy that can be so fluid
and abstract, if rental thresholds are enforced.
Chair Kraft stated in light of Covid with home occupation issues, transit-oriented development and
other topics like industrial zoning topics might be best to shift to early next year for discussion.
Commissioner Beneke added he hears comments from folks about there not being enough
single-family housing in St. Louis Park adding he would be interested still in discussing the
owner vs. rental ratio.
Commissioner Weber asked if the council is interested in looking at codes as they relate to
Covid moving forward. He asked about more forced social distancing in interiors of public
places, for example.
Mr. Walther stated he is not aware of any conversations with council on this. Typically, code
discussions relate to the exterior of buildings vs. the interiors.
Chair Kraft stated it is not the role of the planning commission to discuss this level of detail in
development.
Commissioner Eckholm asked about strongly suggesting to architects about interior design as it
relates to Covid.
Commissioner Dumalag asked about COVID and the interior of buildings.
Chair Kraft stated the planning commission should not be dictating this type of detail into the code.
Mr. Walther the transit-oriented development and industrial topics could be moved from the
priorities list and discussed in the future.
Commissioner Eckholm agreed TOD can be held off to the end of the year or next year for
discussion, and a focus on home occupation and neighborhood items would be more
appropriate discussion items now, in light of folks working from home.
2.Architectural design zoning code text amendment
Mr. Morrison presented the zoning amendment information. He reviewed the staff report and
stated this involves restructuring building materials in class 1.
Commissioner Eckholm asked about costs of class 1 materials as it relates to affordable
housing. He asked if there are specific materials that are more suitable for affordable housing.
Mr. Morrison stated he has not seen materials being a hurdle in the past.
Mr. Walther stated he has heard that some materials can contribute to higher cost in class 1.
He pointed out as buildings get taller, materials can become a weight issue as well. Also,
City council meeting of October 5, 2020 (Item No. 4j) Page 3 Title: Planning commission meeting minutes September 2, 2020
questions about glazing and transparency at ground level have become environmental issues as
well. However, he did state materials only do not contribute totally to affordability issues.
Commissioner Erwin asked for clarification about fiber reinforcement siding vs. board as class 1
vs. 2 building materials.
Mr. Walther stated this was an addition to the code based on approvals for PUD in the city. He
stated this was related to approvals from the city council on projects, and then was added to
the code.
Commissioner Erwin stated there should be some clarification here for siding. She noted the
siding styles are confusing within the class 1 and 2.
Mr. Walther stated staff can work on this clarification.
Mr. Walther noted colors used on buildings and a variance that was requested. He asked if the
commission wanted to consider exceptions to architectural standards on colors going forward,
or just deal with them on a one by one basis.
Chair Kraft stated it is difficult to change this, and how it would be based, and noted that
murals also present accent colors and asked if variances are allowed under the code.
Commissioner Eckholm added he understands this regulation within the ordinance but
wondered if the variance is the best way to handle exceptions.
Commissioner Eckholm asked the commissioners thoughts on the articles and the parking garages.
Commissioner Erwin stated she is supportive of adaptability with parking garages.
Mr. Walther stated two articles were provided to commissioners on adaptable parking garages,
adding staff agrees with more adaptability and resilience in these structures.
Commissioner Weber asked if parking garages are owned by the city or are private.
Mr. Walther stated the city does not own any parking garages within the city, however there
are several exceptions within the city.
Commissioner Eckholm stated the least appropriate place for a giant new parking structure is
next to a light rail transit station, but added if it has to be there, it should be able to be turned
into something more useful in the future.
Commissioner Dumalag asked if there will need to be requirements for adaptable parking
structures, especially when thinking long-term.
3.Painted sign zoning code text amendment
Mr. Morrison stated this item came out of a complaint, when a sign was painted on the side of
a building without permission. He stated this was being reviewed and considering striking this
from the ordinance. He stated also if the business is sold, or moves, the owner is then
responsible for covering up or removing the sign on the building when leaving.
City council meeting of October 5, 2020 (Item No. 4j) Page 4 Title: Planning commission meeting minutes September 2, 2020
Mr. Morrison asked the commissioners for feedback before this moves forward.
Commissioner Weber supported the proposed change and asked if there is any difference
between a sign and a mural, and if a mural would be allowed as well as a sign in the code.
Mr. Morrison stated the mural would be a super-graphic and has a separate definition from the
painted sign. He added it could not include a logo or brand name within it if it’s a mural or a
super-graphic. He noted if a sign was incorporated into the mural, it would be allowed. Mr.
Walther stated an imaginary box would be drawn around the logo portion and then be allowed.
Commissioner Weber stated he appreciates the willingness to be as open as possible to the
approval of both sign and murals as one, so the creative side can be exhibited.
Chair Kraft asked about if the business left and returning the sign to the original state, and what
would be expected here.
Mr. Morrison stated it could be sand blasted or the new tenant could paint over it.
Commissioner Eckholm asked if a new tenant moved in, how long the city would allow before
the sign is painted over or removed.
Mr. Morrison stated the city could work with the owner on this, but the sign would need to be
removed promptly and should be addressed in the code related to timeframe.
Mr. Walther added if it becomes a maintenance issue, then the city would step in.
Commissioner Dumalag stated it will be important to include a timeframe.
Mr. Morrison stated the property owner would be responsible ultimately.
Commissioner Eckholm added he would hate to see it be too stringent, adding it should be a
nice balance, as these signs do add character to neighborhoods and they should be encouraged.
Commissioner Weber added he is happy about this and it addresses equity issues for future
business owners as well.
Additional topics
Mr. Walther noted Councilmember Mavity will be leaving the City of St. Louis Park and
therefore will be resigning from the city council effective October 31, 2020. A new
councilmember will be appointed by the city council.
Mr. Walther also noted SWLRT will have some road closures over Labor Day weekend to
relocate a bridge into the rail corridor and provide a trail bridge as well.

Executive summary
Title: Beltline Blvd. SWLRT pedestrian improvements
Recommended action: **Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, this item is considered
essential business and is categorized as a Required Action**
•Mayor to open public hearing, take public testimony, and close the public hearing. Council
will be asked to take final action on this project at the Oct. 19, 2020 meeting.
Policy consideration: Does the city council wish to pursue the installation of sidewalks and trails
included in the Beltline Blvd SWLRT Pedestrian Improvements project?
Summary: Connect the Park is the city’s capital improvement plan (CIP) to install additional
bikeways, sidewalks, and trails throughout the community. The primary goal of Connect the
Park is to develop a comprehensive, city-wide network of bikeways, sidewalks, and trails that
provide local and regional connectivity, improve safety and accessibility, and enhance overall
community livability.
This project focuses on improving pedestrian connections in the Beltline Blvd SWLRT station
area, specifically Ottawa Avenue and Lynn Avenue in the Triangle neighborhood, Beltline
Boulevard, and the south frontage road of County Road 25.
The engineering department has been working on the preliminary design and associated public
engagement process for more safe and comfortable connections to the future Beltline Blvd
SWLRT station using $560,000 in federal funds. To do this, staff recommends a new multi-use
trail on Beltline Boulevard, a new multi-use trail on Ottawa Avenue, a new sidewalk on the east
side of Lynn Avenue, and a widened sidewalk on the west side of Lynn Avenue.
Financial or budget considerations: This project is included in the city’s 2021 Capital
Improvement Plan and will be paid for using federal funds and general obligation bonds. The
total cost estimate for the project is $2.04 million. The federal funding in the amount of
$560,000 will be used to offset a portion of the construction costs. Additional information on
the breakdown of the funding can be found later in this report.
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: Beltline Blvd. SWLRT pedestrian improvements
Discussion
Purpose: The purpose of the Beltline Blvd SWLRT Pedestrian Improvements project is to
complete gaps in the pedestrian network in order to provide safer and more comfortable
connections to the Beltline Blvd LRT station. The street segments (Beltline Boulevard, Ottawa
Avenue, Lynn Avenue) are within comfortable walking/rolling distance of the Beltline station.
The project also intends to either remove or mitigate barriers to access the pedestrian network.
The largest barrier in accessing the station area is County Road 25, a four-lane highway that
expands to six lanes at Beltline Blvd. Additional barriers include utility poles obstructing
sidewalks, and lack of separation between vehicle and pedestrian users.
Background: A report (attached) was delivered to city council at the Sept. 29 study session
explaining the project in detail. The report explains the city policies that helped inform the
design process, the regional solicitation for federal funds, the community engagement process,
and the design concepts.
Recommended design concepts:
•Ottawa Avenue – Multi-use trail
o Remove west sidewalk and install a multi-use trail, narrowing Ottawa Avenue
o Fix any sections of the existing sidewalks to meet ADA requirements
o Remove on-street parking
o Narrow west approach of 31st Street
o Narrow west approach of CR 25 frontage road
o Surmountable curbs
•Lynn Avenue – One-way southbound with wider sidewalks
o Retain on-street parking
o Narrow Lynn Avenue to accommodate sidewalks
o Complete east sidewalk
o Widen west sidewalk to account for utility poles
o Install curb extension at CR 25 frontage road
o Install pedestrian connection to cross CR 25 at future signal
o Surmountable curbs
•Beltline Boulevard – Multi-use trail
o Install multi-use trail on the west side with boulevard and trees
o Pedestrian crossing at 35th Street in coordination with Beltline Boulevard
restriping project
Public hearing comments: Attached are the comments community members submitted for the
public hearing record up to Sept. 30, 2020. Comments received afterward will be included in
the council decision report packet.
Financial considerations: As discussed above, this project leverages $560,000 in federal funding
to help offset construction costs. The construction cost estimate includes a 20% contingency as
more work needs to be done to understand soil conditions, water runoff requirements, and
other project conditions.

General Obligation bonds $1,064,187 $1,485,085
Total $1,624,187 $2,045,085
The engineering and administration cost for this project is greater than estimated in the CIP.
This is due to the following:
• The federal funding for this project was originally fiscal year (FY) 2020. Which meant the
project would have had to start construction in 2020. Due to delays in the SWLRT
construction project, Beltline redevelopment project coordination/ delays, and staff
workload, we would have been unable to meet this timeline. As a result, we applied for
an extension to FY 2021. This added $19,805 to the cost.
• This is the first project that we have completed public engagement on since the
beginning of the pandemic. To ensure that we were able to conduct a thorough public
process, we had the consultant conduct additional outreach. This added about $10,000
to the project engineering cost.
• The cost includes using a consultant for contract administration. This additional cost,
$150,000, would be reduced to around $50,000 if the work was done by city staff.
However, at our existing staffing level and workload, we would be unable to assign staff
to this work in 2021. Adding a position to lower costs was included in the reports to the
council on the 2021 budget and the city’s future capital plan. More discussion is
forthcoming on this.
• The CIP did not include right of way costs. During the development of the preliminary
plans, it was determined that to build the Beltline trail with a grass boulevard separating
the trail from the street, additional permanent right of way would need to be acquired.
This separation allows for room to plant trees and greater separation from the street,
providing better user experience. In addition, temporary easements are needed to
address the steeper slopes near Park Glen Road.
Operation and maintenance costs: This project creates new city infrastructure. With new
infrastructure, there will be operation and maintenance costs. Annual operational costs include
snow removal, pavement sweeping, and general upkeep. In addition, there are long-term costs
associated with the replacement of sidewalks and trails. As final plans are developed, staff will
work on identifying the new incremental costs and will present them when this project is
presented to council for final plan approval and authorization for bids.
Schedule: The project schedule is as follows:
Study council written report Sept. 29, 2020
Public hearing Oct. 5, 2020
Approve preliminary layout and authorize final plans Oct. 19, 2020

Hello,
I was not able to make the ZOOM, but the proposal looks great. I'm a homeowner on the
other side of 100 and either run or bike through this area nearly every day. I love the work the
city is doing to meet a 2040 carbon target and the Connect the Park Projects are awesome.
Keep it up!

Hello,
I would like to voice my support for the proposed Beltline Boulevard Pedestrian Improvements..
The multi-use trails along both sides of Beltline Boulevard and the westside of Ottawa Avenue S will
provide needed facilities for accessing the Green Line Station.by foot or bike.
The additions of a crosswalk at W 35th Street and smaller-radius corner on the west side of the
service road highlight the city's prioritization to slow cars and improve pedestrian safety. I wish
Hennepin County would act similarly and remove the slip-lanes at Hwy 7. But, that's for another
time.
Best regards,

Action agenda item: 8a
Executive summary
Title: First reading of ordinance allowing accessory dwelling units
Recommended action: **Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, this item is considered
essential business and is categorized as Time Sensitive**
•Motion to approve first reading of Ordinance amending Chapter 36 of the City Code to
allow accessory dwelling units and set second reading for October 19, 2020.
Policy consideration: Should the city allow and regulate accessory dwelling units?
Summary: In January 2019, the city council began discussions on accessory dwelling units
(ADUs). Developing ADU regulations was also a high priority in the planning commission’s work
plan. The 2040 comprehensive plan indicates ADUs will be allowed in the city. An ADU is a
permanent, self-contained residential unit with its own living space, kitchen and bathroom.
ADUs may be located inside the principal building or may be in a detached accessory building
on the same parcel. This housing is designed to be flexible for evolving family circumstances
and could generate rental income for the property owners. A draft ordinance has been
prepared which would allow ADUs on single-family properties which meet minimum standards.
The ordinance establishes conditions intended to minimize impacts on surrounding properties
such as limitations on size, height, and setbacks. A report was submitted to the council on
September 14, 2020. The planning commission conducted a public hearing on the draft
ordinance on September 16, 2020. No members of the public spoke at the public hearing. The
planning commission’s discussion focused on an occupancy requirement for the property
owner to have an ADU. The commission unanimously recommended adoption of the ordinance,
including a requirement that the initial construction of an ADU be limited to a property that is
occupied by the property owner as their legal residence. This provision is intended to deter a
developer from purchasing multiple properties at a time for the purpose of creating ADUs for
rent. Staff also made a clarifying revision since the planning commission meeting regarding the
number of people that may reside on a single-family property with an ADU, without changing
the intended meaning. This revision clarifies that the limit is one family plus up to two people
that are boarders, roomers or residents of one of the two dwellings.
Financial or budget considerations: None at this time. It is possible as the number of ADUs
increases, increased staff time and potentially added staff may be necessary to handle licensing
and ensure compliance with city codes.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of
housing and neighborhood oriented development.
Supporting documents: Discussion; Ordinance; Zoning map showing areas of the city zoned R-1,
R-2 and R-3 Note that the map excludes properties that are not in single-family residential use (i.e.
churches, schools).

Title: First reading of ordinance allowing accessory dwelling units
Discussion
Background: An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a self-contained residential unit that meets
the requirements of the Minnesota State Building Code. ADUs are permanent installations that
are legally part of a larger property that includes a standard single-family house. ADUs can
sometimes be referred to as: carriage or coach houses, accessory apartments, backyard
cottages, secondary dwelling units, granny flats, mother-in-law suites, second suites or garden
apartments. The ADU may be part of the principal building or it may be in a detached accessory
building on the same property.
Policy Direction: ADUs meet some of St. Louis Park’s housing and land use goals in the 2040
comprehensive plan. Permitting ADUs in the city also helps fulfill the following city council
strategic priority: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and
neighborhood-oriented development. Below is an excerpt from the 2040 comprehensive plan
housing chapter. Several strategies that relate to the ADU discussion are emphasized in bold
text.
Goal 1. The City of St. Louis Park will promote and facilitate a balanced and enduring
housing stock that offers a continuum of diverse lifecycle housing choices suitable for
households of all income levels including, but not limited to affordable, senior, multi-
generational, supportive and mixed income housing, disbursed throughout the city.
Strategies
A.Create a broad range of housing types to provide more diverse and creative
housing choices to meet the needs of current and future residents.
B.Review existing policies, programs and regulations to remove barriers to
innovative and creative housing options.
C.Ensure new housing policies promote fair and equitable housing choices.
D.Use data and research to guide and evaluate housing priorities, policies, and
programs.
E.Use infill and redevelopment opportunities to assist in meeting housing goals.
F.Create policies, tools and strategies to promote the goals of the city’s Climate
Action Plan, encouraging energy efficiency and reducing energy consumption in
residential properties.
G.Create senior housing opportunities: both market rate and affordable,
homeownership and rental, and active and supportive.
Goal 2. Single-family homes: The city is committed to creating, preserving, and
improving the city’s single-family housing stock.
Strategies
A.Promote the creation of family-sized, owner occupied, single-family homes that
meet the needs and desires of current and future residents through the expansion
of existing homes and through construction of new homes.
City council meeting of October 5, 2020 (Item No. 8a) Page 3
Title: First reading of ordinance allowing accessory dwelling units
B.Proactively address substandard housing properties through code enforcement and
public or private redevelopment activities such as acquisition, demolition and
housing replacement.
C.Promote high-quality architectural design standards of homes through the use of
good design practices which are complementary and compatible with the
neighborhood, utilizing quality materials and superior construction.
D.Allow for Accessory Housing Units (AHUs) in all low-density residential areas.
E.Allow for two-family dwelling units (twin homes and duplexes) on appropriately
sized lots in low density residential areas.
Types of ADUs:
Ordinance Direction: The following summarizes what is included in the included in the draft
ordinance:
•Allow internal, attached and detached ADUs as described in the background above. This
provides flexibility to meet different property owner needs and unique property
situations.
•Allow ADUs in the R-1, R-2 and R-3 zoning districts on single-family lots. Limiting ADUs to
single-family lots has been recommended as an appropriate first step in allowing a new
use in the community. In addition, the Minnesota State Building Code requires any
building with three or more units to meet additional regulations such a sprinkling the
entire building. As the addition of an accessory dwelling unit to a duplex would result in
these added regulations, staff recommends that the initial ordinance amendments be
focused on single-family homes.
•Allow ADUs on all buildable single-family lots without restrictions relating to a minimum
lot size. Thus, if a lot can have a single-family home, then it would also be allowed to
have an ADU. This allows a greater number of lots to qualify to have an ADU and more
equitable opportunities throughout the low-density residential areas of the city.
City council meeting of October 5, 2020 (Item No. 8a) Page 4
Title: First reading of ordinance allowing accessory dwelling units
•Limit ADUs to one (1) per lot.
•Require all ADUs to be at least 300 square feet in area. The potential for allowing a
smaller size of ADUs was an item of discussion previously with the city council. Staff
notes that this minimum size was proposed based on staff’s review of Family Housing
Fund’s research of Twin Cities metropolitan area ADUs and ADU regulations. That
research reviewed several cities’ requirements and included a research sample of 20
existing ADUs in the Twin Cities. The units in their sample ranged in size from 400 to
1,200 square feet with the average being 657 square feet and the median being 645
square feet. Staff also reviewed the 2018 Maxfield Housing Study Update to understand
the sizes of apartment units in our community for comparison. The Maxfield research
found that the average size of a studio unit was 519 square feet (with the smallest being
300 square feet) and the average size of a one-bedroom unit was 750 square feet (with
the smallest being 500 square feet).
Staff still recommends a minimum of 300 square feet. If through the process the city
chooses to allow ADUs that are less than 300 square feet, staff suggests the minimum
size should be more than 200 square feet. Staff note that many “tiny houses” that are
150-200 square feet in area are classified as recreational vehicles and built on chassis
with wheels and are considered seasonal, rather than year-round dwellings. The intent
of the ADU ordinance is to allow permanent year-round, not seasonal, ADUs.
•Limit the size of internal ADUs, which are within or attached to the principal dwelling, to
40% of the gross floor area of the principal single-family dwelling in order to ensure that
ADUs are accessory to the principal dwellings.
•Limit detached ADUs to no more than 800 square feet or 25% of the back yard. Allow
detached ADUs that are up to 576 square feet in area even if they exceed 25% of the
back yard. These regulations are consistent with the current size restrictions for
detached accessory buildings today, except ADUs would now be allowed.
•Prohibit sale of the ADU independent of the principal building and lot. It must remain an
accessory use to the principal building and all on one lot.
•Prohibit short-term vacation rental of the ADU or the principal residence, as currently
enforced by the city. Define short-term vacation rentals as leasing properties for a term
of less than one month.
•Allow ADUs without requiring more off-street parking. It is not recommended that
additional parking be required for an ADU. However, it is recommended that the city
maintain the limit of vehicles that can be parked outside on a lot. City code currently
limits single-family properties to three vehicles, or a up to five vehicles if there are more
licensed drivers residing on the property. It should be noted that this requirement does
not preclude property owners from adding additional, enclosed parking to their
property. In addition, on-street parking also may be used where public street parking is
allowed.
City council meeting of October 5, 2020 (Item No. 8a) Page 5
Title: First reading of ordinance allowing accessory dwelling units
• Regulate the location of ADUs like other structures on a site. Limit principal building
heights, setbacks, and footprints the same as they are regulated today, whether the
principal building includes an internal ADU or not. Also, generally apply the same
detached accessory structure standards to ADUs. This approach will best integrate ADUs
more seamlessly to the character of the existing neighborhoods, because the buildings
will be similar in size and location as other structures that could be built under the city’s
rules today. Two exceptions for detached ADUs are described below:
1) Require larger side and rear yards for a detached ADU than required for a detached
garage. Currently, detached garages may be two feet from a side or rear property
line. In order to have openings, such as doors and windows, ADUs will need to be
five feet from a side or rear property line under the building code.
2) It was felt by planning commission that more space should be provided from a rear
property line when it abuts another residential property, so a rear yard of 15 feet
was recommended.
Most detached garages are built slab on grade and do not have frost footings
required by the building code for occupied dwellings; therefore, it is not likely
existing garages would be repurposed with an ADU. Instead, it would in nearly all
cases require demolishing the existing detached garage to build an ADU in its place.
• The ordinance, as recommended by the planning commission, includes a provision that
requires the property owner to reside on the property as their primary residence in
order to initially build and establish an ADU. Once the ADU is constructed then there will
no longer be an owner occupancy requirement. This requirement helps addresses the
planning commission’s concern that multiple properties may be purchased by a
developer to build ADUs and convert them to rental properties. It also addresses many
of staff’s about an ongoing owner occupancy requirement as it does not require tracking
City council meeting of October 5, 2020 (Item No. 8a) Page 6
Title: First reading of ordinance allowing accessory dwelling units
and monitoring owner occupancy for the long-term and would not result in renters
losing their homes or ADUs having to be removed if the owner was not able to meet
occupancy requirements.
•The ordinance also addresses how many individuals can reside on the single-family
property. The intent is to limit it to one family and up to two persons that are boarders,
roomers or residents of one of the dwellings on the lot. This would be the same as
allowed today. In response to questions from city council members, staff reworded this
provision in the ordinance to add clarity without changing the intended meaning.
Next steps: If city council approves the first reading of the ordinance, this item will be placed on
the October 19, 2020, meeting agenda for the second reading and adoption of the ordinance,
as well as approval of a summary of the ordinance for publication.

Title: First reading of ordinance pertaining to painted signs
Recommended action: **Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, this item is considered
essential business and is categorized as a Required Action**
•Motion to approve the first reading of Ordinance amending Section 36-362 pertaining to
painted signs and set second reading for October 19, 2020.
Policy consideration: Does the council wish to amend Section 36-362 to allow signs to be
painted directly on buildings. This ordinance is number 12 on the council’s list of priority topics.
Summary: The ordinance was prepared at the request of city council to consider allowing signs
to be painted directly onto buildings. A report on this item was submitted to the council on
September 14, 2020.
Background: The purpose of the sign code is to establish standards for the size, placement and
maintenance of signs. It is also intended to permit a safe, efficient, effective and aesthetic
means of communication which recognizes the need to maintain an attractive and appealing
appearance of property and community.
City code prohibits signs from being painted directly on a building [section 36-362(e)(9)]. In
2019, a business painted a sign on their building without receiving a permit. As a result, staff
began enforcing the above regulation and required the sign to be removed. The ward
councilperson initiated a discussion in council study session to allow painted signs.
Present considerations: In summary, the attached ordinance proposes:
1.Section 36-362(d)(3) requires a permit for supergraphics. A supergraphic is a mural or
other depiction that does not include advertising.
2.Section 36-362(e)(9) removing painted signs from the list of prohibited signs. This change
allows businesses to begin painting signs directly on their buildings. Painted signs will be
regulated in the same manner as wall signs, which includes size, area and lighting.
3.Section 36-362(f)(16) language was added to require the building surface to be refinished
to match the surrounding surface. As a result, when the painted sign is removed, then
the portion of the wall where the sign existed must be refinished to match the
surrounding wall surface.
The planning commission discussed the ordinance in a study session on September 2, 2020 and
conducted a public hearing on September 16, 2020. No comments were received from the
public, and planning commission recommended approval.
Financial or budget considerations: None.

Title: First reading of ordinance pertaining to architectural materials
Recommended action: **Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, this item is considered
essential business and is categorized as a Required Action**
•Motion to approve the first reading of Ordinance amending Section 36-366 pertaining to
architectural design and set second reading for October 19, 2020.
Policy consideration: Does the council wish to amend Section 36-366 to modify the list of
exterior materials approved for use in St. Louis Park?
Summary: Section 36-366 of the city code regulates architectural design of buildings in St.
Louis Park. The purpose of the architectural design standards is to promote a high standard of
development in the city that is consistent with the comprehensive plan, preserves the character
of the city, and reduces the adverse impacts resulting from dissimilar land uses. Among the
ways to help accomplish this, the zoning code regulates building design and materials.
Present considerations: Below is a summary of the changes proposed in the attached ordinance:
1.The existing ordinance includes a list of materials allowed to be used on building exteriors.
The list is divided into three categories. Class 1 materials are required to cover at least 60%
of each building elevation. Class 2 can cover up to 40% of each elevation. Class 3 can cover
up to 10% of each elevation. A complete list of the materials can be viewed in the attached
draft ordinance. The proposed ordinance adds additional materials to the class 1 list. These
materials were previously deemed class 2. After meeting with architects and builders, staff
agreed that certain materials that meet aesthetic and durability considerations could be
reallocated to class 1, resulting in more flexibility.
2.The existing ordinance includes a provision that allows an applicant to appeal staff’s
interpretation of the architectural ordinance to the city council. Staff proposes to amend
the appeal process to allow the board of zoning appeals to review staff’s determination or
interpretation using the same process followed for an appeal of any other zoning
interpretation or determination. This request would be heard by the BOZA, whose decision
would be final, unless it is appealed to the city council.
3.The proposed ordinance includes some minor clarifications.
The planning commission discussed the ordinance in a study session on September 2, 2020 and
conducted a public hearing on September 16, 2020. No comments were received from the
public, and planning commission recommended approval.

Title: First reading of ordinance pertaining to architectural materials
Discussion
Background: Section 36-366 of the city code regulates architectural design of buildings in St.
Louis Park. The purpose of the architectural design standards is to serve the public interest by
promoting a high standard of development in the city. The city reviews both functional and
aesthetic aspects of new or intensified developments and seeks to implement the
comprehensive plan, preserve the character of the city, reasonably maintain and improve the
tax base, reduce the adverse impacts resulting from dissimilar land uses, promote orderly flow
of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, discourage development of identical and similar building
facades which detract from the character and appearance of the neighborhood, preserve the
natural environment and minimize adverse impacts on adjacent properties from buildings which
are or may become unsightly, while being cognizant of cost impacts and affordability. Among the
ways to help accomplish this, the zoning code regulates building design and materials.
Present considerations: The city places materials into three categories. Class 1 materials are
promoted. Class 2 materials are acceptable. Class 3 materials are limited. Materials that are not
listed are not allowed. The list of permitted materials has remained, for the most part, unchanged
since 1990. The selection and quality of exterior materials, however, has changed considerably
since 1990 resulting in more available varieties to consider adding to our materials list. New
materials should be on the market and in use for enough time so we can be confident that they
will withstand the effects of weather in Minnesota without compromising their aesthetics.
Every year staff takes note of the materials requested by architects on projects submitted for
review and construction. There are some products that continue to be requested and have
been used with success around the nation and state for many years. Also, there are materials
that the city has allowed on a case by case basis routinely. Therefore, the city would like to
consider adding them to the list or recategorizing them. Our process for review includes
allowing some materials that are not on our approved list on a building in a limited capacity.
This gives us the ability to see if they retain their appearance of quality and aesthetics over the
years. We also had discussions with a few architects and builders about new materials. These
discussions were had when they were not representing a project going through an approval
process in St. Louis Park, so we were able to get detailed opinions resulting from their expertise
and experience.
Materials for consideration: The ordinance includes a list of materials allowed to be used on
building exteriors. The list includes three categories, class 1, class 2 and class 3. Class 1
materials are required to cover at least 60% of each building elevation. Class 2 can cover up to
40% of each elevation. Class 3 can cover up to 10% of each elevation. A complete list of the
materials can be viewed in the attached draft ordinance. Staff requests adding the following
materials to the approved materials list:
1.Integral colored cast stone. This product is currently allowed as a class 2 (artificial stone),
staff proposes allowing it as a class 1 material. This is a manufactured product that has the
appearance of stone. It is important that this material not be surface treated for color to
look like stone, but instead have the color integral and throughout the product. That way if
it gets chipped, it will still have the appearance of the stone color. Additionally, the color
shouldn’t fade or wear over time. It appears that the industry standard term for this
product is integral colored.
City council meeting of October 5, 2020 (Item No. 8c) Page 3
Title: First reading of ordinance pertaining to architectural materials
2.Architectural wall cladding. This product is currently allowed as a class 2, staff proposes
allowing it as a class 1 material. This includes name brand products such as Nichiha or
Equitone. It is a manufactured material that is applied to the surface of the building. There
is a wide variety of styles available. Information about available products and styles
available can be viewed at Nichiha.com or Equitone.com. Styles available include stone,
brick, stucco and wood. They also include a variety of textures. The city has allowed the use
of this material on several recent developments when the thickness of the material is at
least 7 millimeters on a few recent planned unit developments, including Via Sol, The
Quentin, Bridgewater and Parkway Residences.
3.Integrally colored concrete panels, except smooth finished, as a class 2 product. This is a
large wall panel that is colored throughout the product and has a textured exterior. It is
good for large buildings, typically industrial, but can also be used for commercial buildings.
It is commonly used on a building elevation that has limited visibility. This change would
allow 10% to 40% of an exterior wall to be clad in this material.
4.Smooth finished concrete panels as a class 3. This is not a commonly used product as it is
not aesthetically appealing when used in a large scale. Therefore, it is limited to 10% of a
building elevation where it may be used to create architectural interest as a detail material.
5.Surface painted brick, stone or integral colored cast stone. This category is added as a class
3 material to protect the aesthetics of class 1 materials. Periodically, the city receives a
request to paint a brick or stone building. This is contrary to the intent of the ordinance and
the natural finish of these materials should be preserved. Staff also notes that painted
materials can add interest to a building as a minor detail. Listing this as a class 3 material
allows for some flexibility.
