Policy consideration: Does the EDA wish to approve the proposed Contract for Private Development with Project for Pride in Living (PPL) to facilitate the proposed Union Park Flats development? Summary: Nonprofit Redeveloper, Project for Pride in Living (PPL) (“Redeveloper”), has a purchase agreement to acquire the northern half of the block at 3700 Alabama Ave, which is owned and occupied by Union Congregational Church. PPL’s proposed plans call for the removal of the church’s education building and adjacent parking lot and construction of a three-story apartment building providing 60 units of affordable multi -family housing. The proposed $28.5 million project includes a mix of studios, one- two- three- and four-bedroom units. All units would be affordable to households between 30% of the area median income (AMI) and 60% AMI, exceeding the city's Inclusionary Housing Policy requirements. The development includes 16 deeply affordable units at 30% AMI and 15 family -sized units. In addition, PPL has agreed to provide a longer term of affordability, with at least 40% of the units at 60% AMI or less for 50 years. Financial or budget considerations: Under the proposed Contract for Private Development, the Redeveloper agrees to construct the proposed Union Park Flats development as specified under the PUD, and the EDA agrees to provide a $450,000 deferred loan from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF) to reimburse the Redeveloper for specified public redevelopment and affordable housing costs in connection with the project. PPL would repay the outstanding balance in full, plus interest at the earlier of 40 years, upon sale, or upon refinance or re- syndication of the project. If the Minnesota legislature approves a lower property tax rate for affordable housing properties, repayment would begin sooner. Key business terms of the proposed contracts were provided in the April 3, 2023 staff report. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.

PPL’s proposed plans call for the removal of the church’s education building and adjacent parking lot and construction of a three story, 60-unit apartment building called Union Park Flats. Walk-up units with covered porches would be located along the public streets. Pedestrian walkways, a pl ay area, and an educational stormwater pollinator garden would be located on the building’s southside. Structured parking would be provided below grade and would be accessed from Alabama Avenue. The development will also provide a meeting room available for use by the community, located on the first floor along 37th Avenue. An affiliate of PPL would own and manage the new housing for the long term. Union Congregational intends to utilize the land sale proceeds to preserve and renovate the church’s sanctuary to make it more welcoming and accommodating. Rendering of proposed Union Park Flats The Redeveloper has been working on the proposed Union Park Flats development since 2020. A summary of all previous actions is provided in the following t able. More specific details on the various actions are provided below the table. Previous actions Governing body Date Approved an amendment to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map and approved a preliminary and final plat. City council June 15, 2020 EDA approved a resolution of support for TIF assistance not to exceed $600,000. EDA July 6, 2020 Approved the 2nd Reading of the preliminary and final planned unit development ordinance. City Council July 6, 2020 PPL applied to MHFA for tax credits and were not selected. PPL Summer 2020/ January 2021 PPL applied to MHFA for tax credits. PPL Summer 2021 Economic development authority meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 6a) Page 3 Title: Contract for private redevelopment with Project for Pride in Living (Ward 2) MHFA awarded tax credits to PPL’s Union Park Flats development. MHFA January 2022 Ehlers, the EDA’s financial consultant, reexamined PPL’s request for TIF, and recommended changing the city’s financial assistance from TIF to AHTF. Ehlers/EDA January 2022 EDA approved a resolution of support for AHTF assistance not to exceed $450,000. EDA April 2022 PPL submitted another application to MHFA for additional tax credits due to rising interest rates and construction costs, taking into account adjustment to the city’s financial assistance from TIF to AHTF. PPL Summer 2022 MHFA awarded additional tax credits to Union Park Flats. MHFA Fall 2022 The EDA received a report outlining PPL’s request for financial assistance along with a recommended level of assistance that allows the development to move forward. EDA January 23, 2023 The EDA received a report outlining the key business terms associated with providing a loan from the AHTF. EDA April 3, 2023 PPL submitted a building permit application and construction plans for staff review. PPL April 13, 2023 Detailed summary of past actions: On July 6, 2020, the EDA approved a resolution of support for tax increment financing assistance (TIF) in an amount not to exceed $600,000 to support PPL’s proposed all-affordable housing development. The city council also approved a comprehensive plan amendment, a preliminary and final plat and approved the zoning for the development via a preliminary and final planned unit development. In January 2022, PPL was awarded tax credits from MHFA, however several factors, including tax classification changes, interest rate increases, and rising construction costs required them to apply for additional tax credits. Ehlers, the EDA’s financial consultant, then reexamined PPL’s financial request and recommended altering the city’s financial assistance. Rather than establishing a new TIF district for the project, Ehlers recommended providin g assistance via the Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF). Per Ehlers, providing funding through the AHTF, rather than TIF, would be more cost effective for the project and would help lower the project’s total development costs. On April 4, 2022, the EDA approved a resolution of support for PPL’s second application to MHFA and pledged to provide up to $450,000 in financial assistance through the AHTF. In fall 2022, PPL was awarded additional tax credits from a rollover of unused funds from previous years. PPL is now requesting the EDA/city council formally resume the process of providing financial assistance to the proposed project. Below is an analysis of PPL’s financial request utilizing the city’s updated TIF policy criteria (adopted Fall 2021). The EDA/city council received a staff report detailing the Redeveloper’s request for financial assistance on January 23, 2023, along with a recommendation of financial assistance to enable Economic development authority meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 6a) Page 4 Title: Contract for private redevelopment with Project for Pride in Living (Ward 2) the Union Park Flats development to move forward. The EDA received a staff report outlining the key business terms associated with providing a loan from the AHTF on April 3, 2023. PPL submitted a building permit application and construction plans for review on April 13, 2023. Staff is currently reviewing the plans in anticipation of issuing a building permit. Present considerations: Union Park Flats will be a single-phase, all-affordable residential development and will include a combination of studio, one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom units, including 16 deeply affordable units at 30% area median income. There are 15 units designed for larger families including ten three-bedroom units and five four-bedroom units. Unit Type 30% AMI 50% AMI 60% AMI Total units Studio 10 0 0 10 One-bedroom 4 1 0 5 Two-bedroom 1 21 8 30 Three-bedroom 1 2 7 10 Four-bedroom 0 3 2 5 Total 16 27 17 60 Upon closing on its financing, the development team plans to commence construction in spring 2023 and complete construction by summer 2024. Project for Pride in Living would own and manage the development for the long term. Inclusionary housing: The redevelopment’s focus is to provide affordable housing for families, with units ranging from studios to four-bedrooms. The units would be considered affordable to households at incomes ranging from 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI) (or $35,190 for a household of four) to 60% of AMI (or $70,380 for a household of four). This level of affordability exceeds the city’s Inclusionary Housing Policy requirements. Additionally, PPL has agreed to provide a longer term of affordability, with at least 40% (24 units) of the units at 60% AMI or less for 50 years. Climate Action Plan: The proposed Union Park Flats will exceed with the city's Green Building Policy (as amended in 2018) by meeting SB2030 goals and following the Enterprise Green Communities Criteria. Some of the project's specific sustainable elements are explained below. • Reuse of a likely brownfield site (former parking lot with possible contamination and buried debris from decades-old demolition). • Access to bus and light transit at the Wooddale Avenue LRT Station approximately three blocks away. This frequent transit service reduces the need for single -occupancy vehicles and vehicle miles traveled to reduce vehicle emissions. • Access to bike lanes (i.e. along Alabama Avenue) and regional trails. • A new, advanced stormwater management system will replace the highly impervious parking lot that covers much of the site currently. Stormwater will be held on site for re - use in irrigation, preserving potable water for domestic use with a goal of 50% of irrigation needs covered by re-used stormwater. • The project will meet SB 2030 requirements. Exactly how the project will achieve the required performance standard will be determined through energy modeling and Economic development authority meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 6a) Page 5 Title: Contract for private redevelopment with Project for Pride in Living (Ward 2) building design, but areas that will be considered as part of the energy design package will include: mechanical systems; electrical systems and controls; building envelope, including insulation, roof and windows. • Water Sense labeled toilets, showerheads, and faucets. • Low volatile organic compound and asthmagen-free interior finish materials. • Construction waste recycling. • The building has been sited to take advantage of a “high spot” along 37th Avenue for the primary first-floor building entrance, and a “low spot” along Alabama Avenue for the vehicular access to lower-level parking. PPL has allowed for a low-slope garage entrance ramp that does not need to be heated for safety reasons - to melt winter snow and ice – which would save energy. • The project received grant funding from the Metropolitan Council which will be funding a solar photovoltaic array. Racial equity and inclusion: PPL predominantly serves people disproportionately affected by systemic inequities. 88% of PPL’s residents are Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC). Knowing that Minnesota has some of the highest racial disparities in the U.S. in various measures of life, PPL has been on a deliberate journey to advance race equity since 2015. PPL’s strategic plan recognizes the importance of diversit y, equity, and inclusion. Since 2016, PPL has invested in assessments and training to make the hard conversations about race part of their everyday culture. They used the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) to understand their cultural competence and created development plans for each employee. Their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion staff committee, along with a director of equity and engagement, have created a robust training and dialogue process to continue this growth. In 2018 they adopted an equity statement that says “PPL strives to be an equitable and inclusive organization committed to elevating the voices of the communities we serve that are disproportionately affected by systemic inequities.” PPL’s strategic DEI goals include: • Continue to define what we mean by DEI and racial equity • Leverage assessment tools to boost cultural competency • Grow partnerships • Adopt a DEI/racial equity framework and strengthen the internal equity culture At the end of 2020, 59% of PPL staff were BIPOC, 30% of PPL leadership staff were BIPOC, and 36% of PPL’s Board were BIPOC. PPL is beginning to see an organic shift as staff across the organization leverage their learning to improve PPL’s practices and implement equity-advancing strategies. Due to the submission timing of this development’s planning applications (2020), the EDA’s DEI Policy is not in effect for this development. However, the Redeveloper has agreed to the inclusion of business enterprise and workforce participation goals for women and black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) in the construction of the development. Economic development authority meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 6a) Page 6 Title: Contract for private redevelopment with Project for Pride in Living (Ward 2) Redeveloper’s request for public financing assistance: Due to decreased rental income from 100% of the units over 26 years, and the extraordinary site preparation costs outlined above, there is insufficient cash flow to provide a market rate of return, pay ongoing operating expenses, and service the outstanding debt on the property. This leaves a gap in the funding for the project and makes this housing development financially infeasible without additional public financial assistance. To offset this gap, the Redeveloper applied to the EDA for tax increment financing (TIF) assistance. Ehlers, the EDA’s financial consultant, examined the development’s pro forma to determine what, if any, level of financial assistance was necessary for it to become financially feasible. The EDA received a staff report detailing the TIF Application at the January 23, 2023 study session along with a recommendation for financial assistance for which there was consensus support. Level and type of financial assistance: The recommended level of assistance for the project was determined by analyzing private sources of financing, the project’s extraordinary site development costs, construction costs, required energy and sustainability improvements, and comparison to other tax credit projects. Ehlers concluded that AHTF assistance in the amount of $450,000 is necessary to enable the proposed development to become financially feasible. This level of assistance would sufficiently close the remaining financial gap to allow the proposed development to proceed. The Redeveloper has indicated the recommended level of assistance is acceptable. AHTF Deferred Loan: It is proposed that a deferred loan in the amount of $450,000 be provided to PPL for the construction of Union Park Flats. PPL would repay the outstanding balance in full, plus interest at the earlier of 40 years, at sale, or at refinance or re -syndication of the project. The Minnesota legislature is currently considering a reduction in the property tax rate classification of low-income, multi-family rental housing which would likely reduce the project’s financial gap. Should that occur, the Redeveloper shall make annual payments to repay the deferred loan in the lesser of 1/3 of the amount of the tax reduction or $13,654. Clean-up grants: To help off-set clean-up costs for Union Park Flats, the EDA was also awarded a Tax Base Revitalization grant from the Met Council in the amount of $236,800 and a Transit Oriented Development grant in the amount of $1,900,000. The Metropolitan Council all ows the EDA to structure grant assistance to the Redeveloper as a loan so it can take advantage of federal and state low-income housing tax credit programs for affordable housing. As the grant recipient, the EDA is asked to approve this change. Converting the grant to a loan will not change the way the grant funds are distributed. The EDA will continue to serve as a pass through for the funds and the funds may only be used for grant -eligible activities. Proposed contract for private redevelopment: Key business terms for providing the proposed AHTF financial assistance were provided in the staff report for the April 3, 2023 study session. The proposed contract for private redevelopment specifies the mutual obligations between the EDA, city, and Project for Pride in Living (“Redeveloper”) as well as the terms and conditions of the financial assistance to be provided. The following is a summary of the proposed key Economic development authority meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 6a) Page 7 Title: Contract for private redevelopment with Project for Pride in Living (Ward 2) business terms consistent with EDA Policy, AHTF policy, past practices , and previous discussions with the EDA/city council. The Redevelopment Property consists of the property highlighted in the aerial photo below. Proposed redevelopment site for Union Park Flats 1. The Redeveloper agrees to construct an all-affordable multifamily rental housing development on the Redevelopment Property, as specified in the approved PUD, consisting of a 60-unit apartment building with approximately ten surface parking stalls and 69 underground parking stalls. The Development shall include a mix of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and four-bedroom units (the “Minimum Improvements”). 2. The EDA agrees to reimburse the Redeveloper for a portion of its Public Redevelopment Costs incurred during construction of the all-affordable Development through a $450,000, 40-year deferred loan from the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF). • The Redeveloper shall repay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan plus interest at the rate of 1.00% upon the earlier of (i) 40 years, (ii) refinancing/re- syndication of the Minimum Improvements, (iii) sale or transfer of the Minimum Improvements, or (iv) in the event of certain uncured defaults under the Contract (the “Repayment Obligation”). Site information: Project site Oxford Street West 37th Street Church site Economic development authority meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 6a) Page 8 Title: Contract for private redevelopment with Project for Pride in Living (Ward 2) • The Minnesota legislature is currently considering a reduction in the property tax rate classification of low-income, multi-family rental housing which would likely reduce the project’s financial gap. Should that occur, the Redeveloper shall make annual payments in the lesser of 1/3 of the amount of the tax reduction or $13,654. 3. Redeveloper agrees to commence construction of the Development by July 31, 2023 and substantially complete it by July 31, 2025. 4. Redeveloper agrees to construct the Development as specified in the approved PUD and maintain it in good condition until the Contract terminates. 5. Redeveloper will comply with the City’s Inclusionary Housing Policy in effect at the time of its planning applications (September 2019) as to income limitations. The Redeveloper agrees to a 26-year covenant beginning on the date a certificate of occupancy is issued providing that (i) at least 17 of the units will be affordable to households at or below 60% AMI; (ii) at least 27 units will be affordable to households at or below 50% AMI; and (iii) at least 16 units will be affordable to households at or below 30% AMI. In addition, the Redeveloper agrees to make at least 40% of the units affordable to households at or below 60% AMI for a term of 50 years. The unit mix for the housing units shall be as follows: 30% AMI 50% AMI 60% AMI Total Studio 10 0 0 10 One-bedroom 4 1 0 5 Two-bedroom 1 21 8 30 Three-bedroom 1 2 7 10 Four-bedroom 0 3 2 5 TOTAL 16 27 17 60 6. Redeveloper agrees to use reasonable efforts to meet the following business enterprise and workforce participation goals for women and black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) in conjunction with construction of the Development: Participation Goals Women BIPOC Business Enterprises 6% 13% Workforce 20% 32% Participation goals would be applied to the Development as a whole and pertain to the total amount of construction and related contracts. Redeveloper agrees to provide and use reasonable efforts to cause its contractors/subcontractors to provide certain information and resources to prospective contractors/subcontractors before bidding; to implement procedures designed to notify women and people of color about contracting opportunities; to document steps taken to comply with participation goals and the results of actions taken; and to provide compliance report(s), all as more particularly set Economic development authority meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 6a) Page 9 Title: Contract for private redevelopment with Project for Pride in Living (Ward 2) forth in the Contract. Failure to achieve these goals would not constitute a breach or default by Redeveloper. 7. Redeveloper agrees to comply with the City’s Green Building Policy in place at the time of submittal for planning application (as amended in 2018) and shall use Enterprise Green Communities as its design rating system to meet the requirements of the pol icy. Among the sustainability features to be included are: • Reuse of a likely brownfield site • A rooftop solar array • Increased efficiency in building envelope, heating and cooling equipment, plumbing and light fixtures • On site stormwater retention system • Charging stations for electric vehicles including: o Nine level 1 EV stations o Two level 2 EV stations o Conduit for 14 EV stations • Construction waste recycling • Low volatile organic compound and asthmagen-free interior finishes • Water sense toilets, showerheads and faucets 8. Redeveloper agrees not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, sex, or national origin in the construction, maintenance, sale, lease, or rental of the Redevelopment Property or Minimum Improvements. 9. Redeveloper agrees to certify that the Minimum Improvements have been constructed in accordance with the Redevelopment Contract and all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations (including but not limited to environmental, zoning, building code, labor, including fair labor/wage protection, and public health laws and regulations). Additionally, all costs related to the Minimum Improvements and the development of the Redevelopment Property, including payments to all contractors, subcontractors, and project laborers, have been paid prior to the date of the Redeveloper’s request for the Certificate of Completion and written lien waivers have been provided from each contractor for all work done and for all materials furnished by it for construction or installation of the Minimum Improvements. 10. Redeveloper agrees to pay reasonable administrative costs incurred by the EDA, including consultant and attorney fees, in connection with the Development. 11. If Redeveloper defaults under the Contract, the EDA may (among other things) terminate the Contract and require the Redeveloper to repay the deferred loan plus interest. 12. The Contract will terminate upon the earliest of the final payment of principal and interest on the Deferred Loan or an uncured Event of Default under the Contract. Economic development authority meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 6a) Page 10 Title: Contract for private redevelopment with Project for Pride in Living (Ward 2) A copy of the redevelopment contract is avail able for review in the community development department. Summary: As indicated in the January 23, 2023 study session staff report, the proposed $28.5 million Union Park Flats development has a verified financial gap and is not financially feasible but for the provision of financial assistance from the EDA and city. To offset this gap, it is proposed that the EDA provide $450,000 in financial assistance from the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF) in the form of a 40-year deferred loan. PPL would repay the outstanding balance in full, plus interest at the earlier of 40 years, at sale, or at refinance or re- syndication of the project. If the Minnesota legislature approves a lower tax rate for affordable housing properties, repayment would begin sooner. Providing financial assistance to the proposed Union Park Flats development provides numerous public benefits and makes it possible to: • further diversify the city’s housing stock with a new, modern, multi-family apartment offering consistent with the city’s strategic priorities and Comprehensive Plan. • provide the community with 60 additional affordable housing units for 30 years at or below 60% AMI including: 16 units affordable to households at 30% AMI, 27 units affordable at 50% AMI, and 17 units affordable to households at 60% AMI. • Provides at least 24 units affordable at 60% AMI for 50 years. • provide the community with affordable family-sized units including ten affordable three-bedroom units and five affordable four-bedroom units. • facilitate $28.5 million of new investment in the city. • further the city’s sustainability goals by developing a building to Enterprise Green Community standards and providing a rooftop solar array. • provide additional residential density near the Metro Greenline Extension (formerly SWLRT) Wooddale Avenue Station. • redevelop environmentally impacted property. • construct quality buildings (e.g., sound architectural design, quality construction and materials) with underground parking, public features, and sustainable elements. • provide evidence to the State of Minnesota Legislature regarding the benefits provided to affordable housing projects by utilizing pooled TIF funds to help fund the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund. Project for Pride in Living’s proposed Union Park Flats development meets requirements of the city’s AHTF Policy for utilization of those funds. The proposed amount of financial assistance is substantially less than other developments the EDA has previously provided for other all- affordable housing developments. Recommendation: Staff supports approval of the proposed contract for private redevelopment with Project for Pride in Living as outlined above to advance the Union Park Flats development. The attached resolution of approval allows for modifications to the contract that do not alter the substance of the transaction without bringing the contract back to the EDA for amendment.

REI policy and definitions update Ms. Guess presented the report related to REI policy and definitions. The question she posed to the council is “Does council support staff’s approach in developing a race, equity, and inclusion policy, with corresponding definitions?” Councilmember Budd asked what the next steps could look like. Ms. Guess stated it could be a conversation or a focus group, or discussion on language and incorporating terminology from other policies. She added she would like to hear suggestions from the council. Councilmember Rog asked how to bring the rest of the community along on this journey. She noted there are folks that might not understand, or have misconceptions or push back. Ms. Guess pointed to an event held in January for the National Day of Racial Healing, which over 100 people attended. She noted that showed her the community wants to be part of this, and once the policy is in place, there are many opportunities to do outreach and engagement with the community to bring them along . She noted this is for the city as well as governance, and the city will grow with this work. Councilmember Rog stated she can see where the policy may direct the city in a different way than residents may want to go. Ms. Keller stated staff will work to meet people where they are and point to the policy which is established for the entire city. Ms. Guess added this helps to center equity and allows amplification of what the policy is, especially once it is defined. City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 4b) Page 2 Title: City council workshop minutes of March 9-10, 2023 Councilmember Dumalag noted this reminds her of Vision 3.0 and the non-traditional ways the community showed up at school festivals, or homes, as opposed to city hall. She added there was a steering committee and people who talked to groups, and perhaps there can be a similar process for this policy development also. Ms. Guess added she does see multiple opportunities for stakeholder feedback and creating those opportunities for various groups both internal and external and looking at the language used in the policy. Mayor Spano stated the different way the city gathered feedback for the visioning process was engaging. He added he is interested in learning more and coming up with language early on about “who the city is” and thinking about how we define all groups, including residents, students, city staff, and those who work in the city also. Councilmember Mohamed stated she is supportive of this and it is a good step forward. Councilmember Farris added she also supports this work and would like to learn more . Councilmember Brausen also voiced his support. Ms. Keller stated the goal is to come back to council in the fall with a policy draft to review. Councilmember Rog asked if this is ready to let folks know we are now working on this . She asked if she could include this in her ward newsletter. Ms. Guess stated yes, that’s perfect and if folks want more information they can sign up and provide ideas and contact REI staff for more information, at this point. 2. Connected infrastructure system introduction Ms. Heiser presented the report. Councilmember Mohamed asked about formalizing winter restrictions and what that may entail. Ms. Heiser stated it could be “no parking” between certain dates, or it could be meeting certain criteria for parking and off-street parking like other communities around St. Louis Park. Councilmember Mohamed asked what staff is working on to deal with these issues . Ms. Heiser stated the staff is working on various recommendations for council consideration. Councilmember Rog asked if we had already come up with recommendations. Ms. Heiser stated in 2019 there was discussion with council, but the ordinance amendments were never brought forward due to the pandemic. She stated this is a review of these issues and recommendations. City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 4b) Page 3 Title: City council workshop minutes of March 9-10, 2023 Councilmember Brausen stated he is hopeful these will be staff recommendations that come forward for approval. Ms. Heiser stated yes, there will be reports and discussions prior to the ordinances being brought forward. Councilmember Rog asked how this will impact the budget for 2024. Ms. Heiser stated there will be a review of capital projects with the council as well as the budget review and public process. She noted there will also be review of proposed code updates, and public streetlights also.

Councilmember Mohamed noted her experiences in meeting with other regional police chiefs, being involved in hiring of police, and the conversations around this. She asked if there is a minimum asked for new hires to work in the department. Chief Kruelle st ated they ask for a minimum of 2 years, but it’s not strictly enforced. Councilmember Mohamed added it seems most officers are entering through Pathways, and she is supportive of the 2024 budget proposals and looks forward to hearing more. Councilmember Dumalag added she is generally supportive of these strategies and asked if the Pathways to Policing program is a career shift for people who have an undergraduate degree and then just need practical experience from recruitment to being on the force. Chief Kruelle stated yes, and for those who have not yet started a career as well, noting it can vary. Councilmember Dumalag asked about competing for candidates with other cities surrounding St. Louis Park. She also asked if there is tension and if the city has a fair shot with candidates. Chief Kruelle agreed there is competition and there is opportunity then to make the program attractive, but added it is a challenge. Deputy Chief Nadem noted it also goes back to the recruitment process as well. Councilmember Rog asked if the city provides the HR function for all the partners. Chief Kruelle stated yes, adding there needs to be a lead for this function, and coordinate City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 4d) Page 2 Title: Special study session minutes of March 20, 2023 activities. Councilmember Rog noted the city then absorbs the cost of this, and asked if there is opportunity for cost share or seek funding through the state. Chief Kruelle stated that can be looked at and noted he is meeting with the Post Board tomorrow on Pathways to Policing and he is hopeful this will be one avenue to move this forward to the state level and for funding. He added he is optimistic, and there will be more to come as there is lots of interest. Councilmember Rog noted that of 20 applicants, 19 were not qualified, and asked for more detail on this. Deputy Chief Nadem stated even with 20 applicants, there might only be 13 that show up for the interview, adding they can come in person, or virtually, and we really don’t know why they don’t show up. Councilmember Rog noted she thought the police force was fully staffed and ask ed if that is correct. Chief Kruelle stated the force is 5-10% understaffed at this time. He noted retirements also play into this number, adding it’s not unusual. He added he is optimistic that in 2-5 years there will be a rebound through the school syste ms to find traditional candidates, which is severely depleted right now. He added they need to do a better job also of marketing for policing careers. Councilmember Rog asked about civilianization and looking at this as a cost -savings measure, which allows non-sworn civilians to go out on calls that do not require actual police officers. She also asked if St. Louis Park police are looking at this concept that is being tested in various other cities around the country. Chief Kruelle stated CSO’s do offer t hat, and there’s always opportunities that can be looked into, adding he agrees we do need to look at ways to be more cost effective. Councilmember Budd stated this is all encouraging information. She asked if candidates that come into the pool program are then tied to the city. Deputy Chief Nadem confirmed that was correct. Councilmember Budd asked if the two-year degree must be in policing or can it be in any field of study. Deputy Chief Nadem stated it can be in any area of study and Pathway to Policing will shore it up to make sure requirements and standards are met. Councilmember Budd asked if no convictions was a prior requireme nt, and if it is still in place. Deputy Chief Nadem stated within state law there can be prior convictions but the applicant cannot be a felon and there are also other various convictions such as domestic assault, where a person cannot be hired. Councilmember Brausen stated back in 2017, this program was pitched to the council to find a more diverse pool of candidates and now it seems to be a necessity to continue to get quality candidates. He added he is supportive of this effort. He asked what the prosp ects at the state level are to possibly get additional funding. Chief Kruelle stated he has not heard much on this other than resources are working on that issue. He stated they only get funding for the first half-year of training right now, and he would push for a full first year of funding or other options. City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 4d) Page 3 Title: Special study session minutes of March 20, 2023 Councilmember Farris stated she was also part of the hiring process and being a civilian, it was helpful to be able to have a say in who is policing your community. She added she supports this program and noted St. Louis Park is different from Minneapolis or St. Paul, and this needs to be communicated to folks who have concerns. Councilmember Mohamed asked about retention strategies. Chief Kruelle stated wellness is a huge strategic initiative, along with culture, and training, noting this all needs to be communicated in the hiring process. Mayor Spano stated this was a good conversation. He added the program was designed to get a better pipeline of candidates and to get a more diverse group of candidates. He asked if it was ok if this program pushes the city to get a few more qualified candidates and increases the force to higher numbers. Chief Kruelle stated yes, that would be ok because it all about finding good people to bring into the profession. 2. 2023 Market value update Mr. Bultema and Ms. Nathanson presented the report. Councilmember Brausen asked how the 7 hotels within the city are valued. Ms. Nathanson stated hotels are coming back slowly as businesses are not coming back as quickly as the recreational sector. She added value of hotels is looked at per key and not per square foot. She noted those that struggled the most during the pandemic were those with convention or gathering spaces, so they went down in value. Councilmember Rog asked about starter homes not selling fast. Mr. Bultema stated the city’s housing stock is smaller than typical and that stock did not move as fast as the larger homes during the pandemic. The reason for that is people were working from home and needed more space, so space became a premium. Councilmember Rog asked if Class C properties are selling and being renovated. Ms. Nathanson stated in the beginning of 2022 there was a lot of activity around this, before the interest rates increased. She added at the end of 2022, there was not as much activity. Councilmember Rog asked about investors buying these Class C buildings. Ms. Nathanson stated generally it is smaller, more local investors that buy the Class C buildings. 3. Winter parking restrictions Ms. Heiser and Mr. Hall presented the staff report. The policy question for the council is do they want formal parking restrictions in place during the winter months, to promote climate resilience. If the council is interested, Ms. Heiser proposed that staff study this issue further and come back with recommendations for council review. City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 4d) Page 4 Title: Special study session minutes of March 20, 2023 Councilmember Rog asked how many streets this involves. Ms. Heiser stated she is not certain, but the majority of streets where parking restrictions were in place this year were less than 27 feet wide. Councilmember Rog asked if there might be consideration of maintaining one side parking on streets that are 26 feet wide or smaller. Ms. Heiser stated they had not received that request, but if they did, the traffic committee would consider that. Councilmember Rog noted she is supportive of this and shared she did hear from many residents this winter how much they appreciated the work of staff related to one -sided parking. Mayor Spano stated he is also supportive. Councilmembers Brausen and Mohamed indicated they were also supportive. Councilmember Rog asked how many times the city has implemented these parking restrictions. Mr. Stevens, Public Works Superintendent, stated this has been done four (4) times in the last 12 years. He added it is dependent on the volume of sn ow and when it is in the 60-foot range, restrictions need to be applied. Councilmember Budd asked if the rain and ice have affected this. Mr. Stevens stated it is unique, but it does cause issues especially when the rain freezes over. Communications/meeting check-in (verbal) The meeting adjourned at 8:41 p.m. Written Reports 4.

Policy consideration: Does the city council wish to approve the proposed Contract for Private Development with Project for Pride in Living (PPL) to facilitate the proposed Union Park Flats development? Summary: Nonprofit Redeveloper, Project for Pride in Living (PPL) (“Redeveloper”), has a purchase agreement to acquire the northern half of the block at 3700 Alabama Ave, which is owned and occupied by Union Congregational Church. PPL’s proposed plans call for the removal of the church’s education building and adjacent parking lot and construction of a three-story apartment building providing 60 units of affordable multi -family housing. The proposed $28.5 million project includes a mix of studios, one- two- three- and four-bedroom units. All units would be affordable to households with between 30% of the area median income (AMI) and 60% AMI, exceeding the city's Inclusionary Housing Policy requirements. The development includes 16 deeply affordable units at 30% AMI and 15 family -sized units. In addition, PPL has agreed to provide a longer term of affordability, with at least 40% of the units at 60% AMI or less for 50 years. Financial or budget considerations: Under the proposed Contract for Private Development, the Redeveloper agrees to construct the proposed Union Park Flats development as specified under the PUD, and the city agrees to provide a $450,000 deferred loan from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF) to reimburse the Redeveloper for specified public redevelopment and affordable housing costs in connection with the project. PPL would repay the outstanding balance in full, plus interest at the earlier of 40 years, upon sale, or upon refinance or re- syndication of the project. If the Minnesota legislature approves a lower property tax rate for affordable housing properties, repayment would begin sooner. Key business terms of the proposed contracts were provided in the April 3, 2023 staff report. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.

PPL’s proposed plans call for the removal of the church’s education building and adjacent parking lot and construction of a three story, 60-unit apartment building called Union Park Flats. Walk-up units with covered porches would be located along the public streets. Pedestrian walkways, a play area, and an educational stormwater pollinator garden would be located on the building’s southside. Structured parking would be provided below grade and would be accessed from Alabama Avenue. The development will also provide a meeting room available for use by the community, located on the first floor along 37th Avenue. An affiliate of PPL would own and manage the new housing for the long term. Union Congregational intends to utilize the land sale proceeds to preserve and renovate the church’s sanctuary to make it more welcoming and accommodating . Rendering of proposed Union Park Flats The Redeveloper has been working on the proposed Union Park Flats development since 2020. A summary of all previous actions is provided in the following table. More specific details on the various actions are provided below the table. Previous actions Governing body Date Approved an amendment to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map and approved a preliminary and final plat. City council June 15, 2020 EDA approved a resolution of support for TIF assistance not to exceed $600,000. EDA July 6, 2020 Approved the 2nd Reading of the preliminary and final planned unit development ordinance. City Council July 6, 2020 PPL applied to MHFA for tax credits and were not selected. PPL Summer 2020/ January 2021 PPL applied to MHFA for tax credits. PPL Summer 2021 City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 5b) Page 3 Title: Contract for private redevelopment with Project for Pride in Living (Ward 2) MHFA awarded tax credits to PPL’s Union Park Flats development. MHFA January 2022 Ehlers, the EDA’s financial consultant, reexamined PPL’s request for TIF, and recommended changing the city’s financial assistance from TIF to AHTF. Ehlers/EDA January 2022 EDA approved a resolution of support for AHTF assistance not to exceed $450,000. EDA April 2022 PPL submitted another application to MHFA for additional tax credits due to rising interest rates and construction costs, taking into account adjustment to the city’s financial assistance from TIF to AHTF. PPL Summer 2022 MHFA awarded additional tax credits to Union Park Flats. MHFA Fall 2022 The EDA received a report outlining PPL’s request for financial assistance along with a recommended level of assistance that allows the development to move forward. EDA January 23, 2023 The EDA received a report outlining the key business terms associated with providing a loan from the AHTF. EDA April 3, 2023 PPL submitted a building permit application and construction plans for staff review. PPL April 13, 2023 Detailed summary of past actions: On July 6, 2020, the EDA approved a resolution of support for tax increment financing assistance (TIF) in an amount not to exceed $600,000 to support PPL’s proposed all-affordable housing development. The city council also approved a comprehensive plan amendment, a preliminary and final plat and approved the zoning for the development via a preliminary and final planned unit development. In January 2022, PPL was awarded tax credits from MHFA, however several factors, including tax classification changes, interest rate increases, and rising construction costs required them to apply for additional tax credits. Ehlers, the EDA’s financial consultant, then reexamined PPL’s financial request and recommended altering the city’s financial assistance. Rather than establishing a new TIF district for the project, Ehlers recommended providin g assistance via the Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF). Per Ehlers, providing funding through the AHTF, rather than TIF, would be more cost effective for the project and would help lower the project’s total development costs. On April 4, 2022, the EDA approved a resolution of support for PPL’s second application to MHFA and pledged to provide up to $450,000 in financial assistance through the AHTF. In fall 2022, PPL was awarded additional tax credits from a rollover of unused funds from previous years. PPL is now requesting the EDA/city council formal ly resume the process of providing financial assistance to the proposed project. Below is an analysis of PPL’s financial request utilizing the city’s updated TIF policy criteria (adopted Fall 2021). The EDA/city council received a staff report detailing the Redeveloper’s request for financial assistance on January 23, 2023, along with a recommendation of financial assistance to enable City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 5b) Page 4 Title: Contract for private redevelopment with Project for Pride in Living (Ward 2) the Union Park Flats development to move forward. The EDA received a staff report outlining the key business terms associated with providing a loan from the AHTF on April 3, 2023. PPL submitted a building permit application and construction plans for review on April 13, 2023. Staff is currently reviewing the plans in anticipation of issuing a building permit. Present considerations: Union Park Flats will be a single-phase, all-affordable residential development and will include a combination of studio, one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom units, including 16 deeply affordable units at 30% area median income. There are 15 units designed for larger families including ten three-bedroom units and five four-bedroom units. Unit Type 30% AMI 50% AMI 60% AMI Total units Studio 10 0 0 10 One-bedroom 4 1 0 5 Two-bedroom 1 21 8 30 Three-bedroom 1 2 7 10 Four-bedroom 0 3 2 5 Total 16 27 17 60 Upon closing on its financing, the development team plans to commence construction in spring 2023 and complete construction by summer 2024. Project for Pride in Living would own and manage the development for the long term. Inclusionary housing: The redevelopment’s focus is to provide affordable housing for families, with units ranging from studios to four-bedrooms. The units would be considered affordable to households at incomes ranging from 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI) (or $35,190 for a household of four) to 60% of AMI (or $70,380 for a household of four). This level of affordability exceeds the city’s Inclusionary Housing Policy requirements. Additionally, PPL has agreed to provide a longer term of affordability, with at least 40% (24 units) of the units at 60% AMI or less for 50 years. Climate Action Plan: The proposed Union Park Flats will exceed with the city's Green Buil ding Policy (as amended in 2018) by meeting SB2030 goals and following the Enterprise Green Communities Criteria. Some of the project's specific sustainable elements are explained below. • Reuse of a likely brownfield site (former parking lot with possible contamination and buried debris from decades-old demolition). • Access to bus and light transit at the Wooddale Avenue LRT Station approximately three blocks away. This frequent transit service reduces the need for single -occupancy vehicles and vehicle miles traveled to reduce vehicle emissions. • Access to bike lanes (i.e. along Alabama Avenue) and regional trails. • A new, advanced stormwater management system will replace the highly impervious parking lot that covers much of the site currently. Stormwater will be held on site for re- use in irrigation, preserving potable water for domestic use with a goal of 50% of irrigation needs covered by re-used stormwater. • The project will meet SB 2030 requirements. Exactly how the project will achieve the required performance standard will be determined through energy modeling and City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 5b) Page 5 Title: Contract for private redevelopment with Project for Pride in Living (Ward 2) building design, but areas that will be considered as part of the energy design package will include: mechanical systems; electrical systems and controls; building envelope, including insulation, roof and windows. • Water Sense labeled toilets, showerheads, and faucets. • Low volatile organic compound and asthmagen-free interior finish materials. • Construction waste recycling. • The building has been sited to take advantage of a “high spot” along 37th Avenue for the primary first-floor building entrance, and a “low spot” along Alabama Avenue for the vehicular access to lower-level parking. PPL has allowed for a low-slope garage entrance ramp that does not need to be heated for safety reasons - to melt winter snow and ice – which would save energy. • The project received grant funding from the Metropolitan Council which will be funding a solar photovoltaic array. Racial equity and inclusion: PPL predominantly serves people disproportionately affected by systemic inequities. 88% of PPL’s residents are Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC). Knowing that Minnesota has some of the highest racial disparities in the U.S. in various measures of life, PPL has been on a deliberate journey to advance race equity since 2015. PPL’s strategic plan recognizes the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Since 2016, PPL has invested in assessments and training to make the hard conversations about race part of their everyday culture. They used the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) to understand their cultural competence and created development plans for each employee. Their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion staff committee, along with a director of equity and engagement, have created a robust training and dialogue process to continue this growth. In 2018 they adopted an equity statement that says “PPL strives to be an equitable and inclusive organization committed to elevating the voices of the communities we serve that are disproportionately affected by systemic inequities.” PPL’s strategic DEI goals include: • Continue to define what we mean by DEI and racial equity • Leverage assessment tools to boost cultural competency • Grow partnerships • Adopt a DEI/racial equity framework and strengthen the internal equity culture At the end of 2020, 59% of PPL staff were BIPOC, 30% of PPL leadership staff were BIPOC, and 36% of PPL’s Board were BIPOC. PPL is beginning to see an organic shift as staff across the organization leverage their learning to improv e PPL’s practices and implement equity-advancing strategies. Due to the submission timing of this development’s planning applications (2020), the city’s DEI Policy is not in effect for this development. However, the Redeveloper has agreed to the inclusion of business enterprise and workforce participation goals for women and black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) in the construction of the development. City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 5b) Page 6 Title: Contract for private redevelopment with Project for Pride in Living (Ward 2) Redeveloper’s request for public financing assistance: Due to decreased rental income from 100% of the units over 26 years, and the extraordinary site preparation costs outlined above, there is insufficient cash flow to provide a market rate of return, pay ongoing operating expenses, and service the outstanding debt on the property. This leaves a gap in the funding for the project and makes this housing development financially infeasible without additional public financial assistance. To offset this gap, the Redeveloper applied to the EDA for tax increment fi nancing (TIF) assistance. Ehlers, the EDA’s financial consultant, examined the development’s pro forma to determine what, if any, level of financial assistance was necessary for it to become financially feasible. The EDA received a staff report detailing the TIF Application at the January 23, 2023 study session along with a recommendation for financial assistance for which there was consensus support. Level and type of financial assistance: The recommended level of assistance for the project was determined by analyzing private sources of financing, the project’s extraordinary site development costs, construction costs, required energy and sustainability improvements, and comparison to other tax credit projects. Ehlers concluded that AHTF assistance in the amount of $450,000 is necessary to enable the proposed development to become financially feasible. This level of assistance would sufficiently close the remaining financial gap to allow the proposed development to proceed. The Redeveloper has indicated the recommended level of assistance is acceptable. AHTF deferred loan: It is proposed that a deferred loan in the amount of $450,000 be provided to PPL for the construction of Union Park Flats. PPL would repay the outstanding balance in full, plus interest at the earlier of 40 years, at sale, or at refinance or re -syndication of the project. The Minnesota legislature is currently considering a reduction in the property tax rate classification of low-income, multi-family rental housing which would likely reduce the project’s financial gap. Should that occur, the Redeveloper shall make annual payme nts in the lesser of 1/3 of the amount of the tax reduction or $13,654. Clean-up grants: To help off-set clean-up costs for Union Park Flats, the EDA was also awarded a Tax Base Revitalization grant from the Met Council in the amount of $236,800 and a Transit Oriented Development grant in the amount of $1,900,000. The Metropolitan Council allows the EDA to structure grant assistance to the Redeveloper as a loan so it can take advantage of federal and state low-income housing tax credit programs for affordable housing. As the grant recipient, the EDA is asked to approve this change. Converting the grant to a loan will not change the way the grant funds are distributed. The EDA will continue to serve as a pass through for the funds and the funds may only be used for grant-eligible activities. Proposed contract for private redevelopment: Key business terms for providing the proposed AHTF financial assistance were provided in the staff report for the April 3, 2023 study session. The proposed contract for private redevelopment specifies the mutual obligations between the EDA, city, and Project for Pride in Living (“Redeveloper”) as well as the terms and conditions of the financial assistance to be provided. The following is a summary of the proposed key City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 5b) Page 7 Title: Contract for private redevelopment with Project for Pride in Living (Ward 2) business terms consistent with EDA Policy, AHTF policy, past practices , and previous discussions with the EDA/city council. The Redevelopment Property consists of the property highlighted in the aerial photo below. Proposed redevelopment site for Union Park Flats 1. The Redeveloper agrees to construct an all-affordable multifamily rental housing development on the Redevelopment Property, as specified in the approved PUD, consisting of a 60-unit apartment building with approximately ten surface parking stalls and 69 underground parking stalls. The Development shall include a mix of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and four-bedroom units (the “Minimum Improvements”). 2. The city agrees to reimburse the Redeveloper for a portion of its Public Redevelopment Costs incurred during construction of the all-affordable Development through a $450,000, 40-year deferred loan from the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF). • The Redeveloper shall repay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan plus interest at the rate of 1.00% upon the earlier of (i) 40 years, (ii) refinancing/re- syndication of the Minimum Improvements, (iii) sale or transfer of the Minimum Improvements, or (iv) in the event of certain uncured defaults under the Contract (the “Repayment Obligation”). Site information: Project site Oxford Street West 37th Street Church site City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 5b) Page 8 Title: Contract for private redevelopment with Project for Pride in Living (Ward 2) • The Minnesota legislature is currently considering a reduction in the property tax rate classification of low-income, multi-family rental housing which would likely reduce the project’s financial gap. Should that occur, the Redeveloper shall make annual payments in the lesser of 1/3 of the amount of the tax reduction or $13,654. 3. Redeveloper agrees to commence construction of the Development by July 31, 2023, and substantially complete it by July 31, 2025. 4. Redeveloper agrees to construct the Development as specified in the approved PUD and maintain it in good condition until the Contract terminates. 5. Redeveloper will comply with the city’s Inclusionary Housing Policy in effect at the time of its planning applications (September 2019) as to income limitations. The Redeveloper agrees to a 26-year covenant beginning on the date a certificate of occupancy is issued providing that (i) at least 17 of the units will be affordable to households at or below 60% AMI; (ii) at least 27 units will be affordable to households at or below 50% AMI; and (iii) at least 16 units will be affordable to households at or below 30% AMI. In addition, the Redeveloper agrees to make at least 40% of the units affordable to households at or below 60% AMI for a term of 50 years. The uni t mix for the housing units shall be as follows: 30% AMI 50% AMI 60% AMI Total Studio 10 0 0 10 One-bedroom 4 1 0 5 Two-bedroom 1 21 8 30 Three-bedroom 1 2 7 10 Four-bedroom 0 3 2 5 TOTAL 16 27 17 60 6. Redeveloper agrees to use reasonable efforts to meet the following business enterprise and workforce participation goals for women and black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) in conjunction with construction of the Development: Participation Goals Women BIPOC Business Enterprises 6% 13% Workforce 20% 32% Participation goals would be applied to the Development as a whole and pertain to the total amount of construction and related contracts. Redeveloper agrees to provide and use reasonable efforts to cause its contractors/subcontractors to provide certain information and resources to prospective contractors/subcontractors before bidding; to implement procedures designed to notify women and people of color about contracting opportunities; to document steps taken to comply with participation goals and the results of actions taken; and to provide compliance report(s), all as more particularly set City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 5b) Page 9 Title: Contract for private redevelopment with Project for Pride in Living (Ward 2) forth in the Contract. Failure to achieve these goals would not constitute a breach or default by Redeveloper. 7. Redeveloper agrees to comply with the city’s Green Building Policy in place at the time of submittal for planning application (as amended in 2018) and shall use Enterprise Green Communities as its design rating system to meet the requirements of the pol icy. Among the sustainability features to be included are: • Reuse of a likely brownfield site • A rooftop solar array • Increased efficiency in building envelope, heating and cooling equipment, plumbing and light fixtures • On site stormwater retention system • Charging stations for electric vehicles including: o Nine level 1 EV stations o Two level 2 EV stations o Conduit for 14 EV stations • Construction waste recycling • Low volatile organic compound and asthmagen-free interior finishes • Water sense toilets, showerheads, and faucets 8. Redeveloper agrees not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, sex, or national origin in the construction, maintenance, sale, lease, or rental of the Redevelopment Property or Minimum Improvements. 9. Redeveloper agrees to certify that the Minimum Improvements have been constructed in accordance with the Redevelopment Contract and all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations (including but not limited to environmental, zoning, building code, labor, including fair labor/wage protection, and public health laws and regulations). Additionally, all costs related to the Minimum Improvements and the development of the Redevelopment Property, including payments to all contractors, subcontractors, and project laborers, have been paid prior to the date of the Redeveloper’s request for the Certificate of Completion and written lien waivers have been provided from each contractor for all work done and for all materi als furnished by it for construction or installation of the Minimum Improvements. 10. Redeveloper agrees to pay reasonable administrative costs incurred by the EDA /city, including consultant and attorney fees, in connection with the Development. 11. If Redeveloper defaults under the Contract, the city may (among other things) terminate the Contract and require the Redeveloper to repay the deferred loan plus interest. 12. The Contract will terminate upon the earliest of the final payment of principal and interest on the Deferred Loan or an uncured Event of Default under the Contract. City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 5b) Page 10 Title: Contract for private redevelopment with Project for Pride in Living (Ward 2) A copy of the redevelopment contract is available for review in the community development department. Summary: As indicated in the January 23, 2023 study session staff report, the proposed $28.5 million Union Park Flats development has a verified financial gap and is not financially feasible but for the provision of financial assistance from the EDA and city. To offset this gap, it is proposed that the EDA/city provide $450,000 in financial assistance from the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF) in the form of a 40-year deferred loan. PPL would repay the outstanding balance in full, plus interest at the earlier of 40 years, at sale, or at refinance or re- syndication of the project. If the Minnesota legislature approves a lower tax rate for affordable housing properties, repayment would begin sooner. Providing financial assistance to the proposed Union Park Flats development provides numerous public benefits and makes it possible to: • further diversify the city’s housing stock with a new, modern, multi-family apartment offering consistent with the city’s strategic priorities and Comprehensive Plan. • provide the community with 60 additional affordable housing units for 30 years at or below 60% AMI including: 16 units affordable to households at 30% AMI, 27 units affordable at 50% AMI, and 17 units affordable to households at 60% AMI. • Provides at least 24 units affordable at 60% AMI for 50 years. • provide the community with affordable family-sized units including ten affordable three-bedroom units and five affordable four-bedroom units. • facilitate $28.5 million of new investment in the city. • further the city’s sustainability goals by developing a building to Enterprise Green Community standards and providing a rooftop solar array. • provide additional residential density near the Metro Greenline Extension (formerly SWLRT) Wooddale Avenue Station. • redevelop environmentally impacted property. • construct quality buildings (e.g., sound architectural design, quality construction and materials) with underground parking, public features, and sustainable elements. • provide evidence to the State of Minnesota Legislature regarding the benefits provided to affordable housing projects by utilizing pooled TIF funds to help fund the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund. Project for Pride in Living’s proposed Union Park Flats development meets requirements of the city’s AHTF Policy for utilization of those funds. The proposed amount of financial assistance is substantially less than other developments the city has previously provided for other all- affordable housing developments. Recommendation: Staff supports approval of the proposed contract for private redevelopment with Project for Pride in Living as outlined above to advance the Union Park Flats development. The attached resolution of ap proval allows for modifications to the contract that do not alter the substance of the transaction without bringing the contract back to the city for amendment. Next steps: Upon execution of the redevelopment contract, the Redeveloper plans to close on its project financing in June 2023 and commence construction shortly thereafter.

Policy consideration: Does the proposal meet the conditional use permit requirements? Summary: Bob Schaffer, on behalf of Foundation Architects, applied for a conditional use permit (CUP) for building expansion and site improvements of the Family Orthodontics building at 5804 Excelsior Boulevard. The project will add a 1,000-square-foot addition onto the south side of the building and will include interior building renovations and upgraded site landscaping. Present considerations: The dental office is in the C-1 zoning district and requires a CUP, in this case, because the impervious surface will increase to 83%. The planning commission and city staff find that the application meets all the specific conditions for the district and the general requirements for any CUP. The planning commission held a public hearing on the application on April 12, 2023, and recommended approval of the CUP. No one spoke at the meeting. One resident shared written comments supporting the project and business. Financial or budget considerations: None Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.

A building addition is proposed along the south side of the building to increase the number of treatment chairs by two and expand the business’s abil ity to serve the surrounding community. Present considerations: Medical/dental offices in the C-1 district are not allowed to exceed intensity classification 4 unless they obtain a CUP (see Table 36-115C for intensity class measures). With an impervious surface coverage of 79%, the existing site is considered an intensity classification 5. As this is an existing condition that predated the requirement, there is no CUP on file for this property. Foundation Architects proposes a 985-square-foot addition onto the south end of the Family City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 5c ) Page 3 Title: Conditional use permit - Family Orthodontics, 5804 Excelsior Boulevard (Ward 2) Orthodontics building. The addition would increase the impervious surface coverage of the site from 79% to 83% and increases the site’s intensity classification from class 5 to class 6. Therefore, a CUP is required. Zoning analysis: A table summarizing the zoning requirements for this project is below. Further details on some of the requirements are provided after the table. Factor Required Proposed Met? Use Dental office No change Yes Height 3 stories/35 feet 20 feet Yes Building Materials Minimum of 60% class 1; maximum 10% class 3 Majority of new elevations are stucco and glass which are class 1 materials Yes Off-Street Parking 1 space/200 square feet floor area = 15 spaces 22 (no change) Yes Bicycle Parking 4 4 (2 existing) Yes EVSE Parking None required – no change to parking lot Setbacks – Front/Rear 5 feet 20 feet 5 feet 64.7 feet Yes Setbacks – Side/Side 5 feet 20 feet W: 21.9 feet E: 5 feet Yes Floor Area Ratio 1.2 0.21 Yes Landscaping 10 trees 60 shrubs 10 significant canopy trees, 60 shrubs Yes Tree Replacement Calculation No replacement required (12 inches of significant trees to be removed; 149 inches on site; 5 inches to be planted) Yes Front setback. The building addition is proposed to be located on the south side of the building adjacent to Excelsior Boulevard. The existing building is 20.5 feet from the south property line. The proposed addition is 15 feet deep, which still meets the minimum five feet front yard in the C-1 district. Off-street parking. The zoning ordinance requires one parking space for every 200 square feet of dental office floor area. With the proposed building addition, the building area is 3,098 square feet. This means that 15.5 parking spaces would be required. Additionally, the project site is within a quarter mile of regular bus service and therefore qualifies for a 10% reduction in the minimum parking requirement, per Section 26 -361(e)(1)c. 22 parking spaces exist on the site today, therefore, no additional parking spaces are necessary. Building materials. In the C-1 district, buildings are required to be constructed with a minimum of 60% Class 1 and maximum of 10% Class 3 building materials. The plans submitted show tha t the majority of the new facades will be made up of stucco and glass which are Class 1 materials. City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 5c ) Page 4 Title: Conditional use permit - Family Orthodontics, 5804 Excelsior Boulevard (Ward 2) Landscaping. The applicant proposes to remove one significant tree on the site. Two new overstory trees will be planted on the east side of the site to mai ntain the required landscaping counts. The applicant proposes planting 60 shrubs around the east, west and south sides of the proposed addition which meets zoning code requirements. Conditional use permit amendment: The planning commission and city staff find the application meets the general requirements for conditional use permits listed in city code section 36-33(b) and the C-1 zoning district requirements for conditional use permits listed in city code section 36-193(d)(2) to exceed classification 4. The findings in support of the application and the recommended conditions of approval are listed in the attached resolution. Public outreach: Public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within 350 feet of the site; project information was posted to the city website; and a sign announcing the public hearing was posted on the property. Staff received one public comment supporting the application; please see the attached letter. Planning commission: The commission held a public hearing on April 12, 2023, and no public comments were made. The commission discussed the intensity classification of the site and the proposed landscaping. The commission recommended approval of the CUP. Next steps: If the city council approves the CUP, staff and the applicant will prepare and execute any agreements required, and the applicant will apply for building permits with the intention of starting construction in late spring or early summer 2023.

Policy consideration: None. Summary: The city council approved Hennepin County's preliminary layout for the upcoming reconstruction of Minnetonka Boulevard from Highway 100 to County Road 25. Hennepin County requires an updated no-parking resolution for Minnetonka Boulevard from Highway 100 to County Road 25 that restricts parking along both sides of the reconstructed roadway. Rescinding Ordinance 641 was a necessary first step to allow a new resolution prohibiting all parking on Minnetonka Boulevard from Highway 100 to County Road 25. Additional information regarding the original ordinance can be found in the council report from Feb. 21, 2023. There are five additional overlapping and outdated resolutions that regulate parking on Minnetonka Boulevard from Highway 169 to County Road 25. Many of these resolutions have language that also restricts parking on side streets. As a housekeeping measure, staff is recommending rescinding all these resolutions and creating separate resolutions that are specific to each existing parking restriction. This will clean up the overlapping parking restrictions on Minnetonka Boulevard, provide the county with the no parking resolution for the upcoming reconstruction project and keep the parking restrictions on the side streets in place as separate resolutions. Financial or budget considerations: There is minimal cost associated with rescinding the resolutions. Updated no parking signage will be installed as part of the County's roadway reconstruction project in 2024. Signage on the side streets will remain in place. Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

These restrictions were enacted to meet the needs of the roadway and adjacent land uses. Over time, parking restrictions on individual segments were adjusted t o include parking prohibition, time-of-day restrictions, and time-limited parking. On Dec. 5, 2022, the city council approved Hennepin County's preliminary layout for the reconstruction of Minnetonka Boulevard from Highway 100 to County Road 25. This project is planned for construction in 2024 and 2025. As a part of project approval, Hennepin County requires an updated no-parking resolution for Minnetonka Boulevard from Highway 100 to County Road 25 that restricts parking along both sides of the recons tructed roadway. Parking restrictions on county roads are approved by the city. On Feb. 21, 2023, the city council approved the second reading of the ordinance to complete the rescinding of Ordinance 641. Now that Ordinance 641 has been rescinded, the remaining resolutions that restrict parking on Minnetonka Boulevard can be addressed. There are five overlapping and outdated resolutions that regulate parking on Minnetonka Boulevard from Hightway 169 to County Road 25 and on adjacent side streets. Many of these resolutions have language that restricts parking on Minnetonka Boulevard but also includes restrictions on adjacent side streets. Past practice was to write a single resolution to restrict parking near an intersection by including multiple street segments. That practice has created complexity when changes to parking restrictions are required for just one roadway segment within the resolution. Staff favors creating separate resolutions for each street to make it easier to make modifications in the future. Present considerations Staff is recommending rescinding all the existing resolutions and creating separate resolutions for each street segment to maintain existing parking restrictions. This will clean up the overlapping parking restrictions on Minnetonka Boulevard, provide the county with the no parking resolution for the upcoming reconstruction project and keep the parking restrictions on the side streets in place. The following is a description of each recommended council action: 1. Adopt resolution 23-045: This will rescind resolutions 2244, 5645, 03-053, 07-139, and 18-115 that restrict parking along Minnetonka Boulevard from Highway 169 to County Road 25. This includes several side street restrictions that are embedded in these resolutions. 2. Adopt resolution 23-046: This will establish no parking on both sides of Minnetonka Boulevard from Highway 100 to Country Road 25. This will meet the requirements of the Minnetonka Boulevard reconstruction project scheduled for 2024 and 2025. 3. Adopt resolution 23-047: This will reestablish no parking on both sides of Minnetonka Boulevard from Highway 169 to Highway 100. 4. Adopt resolutions 23-048, 23-049, 23-050, 23-051, 23-052, 23-053, 23-054, and 24-055: These resolutions will reestablish individual street segment parking restrictions on the side streets adjacent to Minnetonka Avenue. This will result in no changes to parking restrictions along these roadways.

Next steps The actions taken by these resolutions will not change any parking a long any of the side streets or along Minnetonka Boulevard west of Highway 100. The new parking restrictions along Minnetonka Boulevard between Highway 100 and CSAH 25 will take effect with the County 's construction project scheduled for 2024 and 2025.

Policy consideration: Does the city want to accept the offers and acquire the properties? Summary: MnDOT officially offered to convey two parcels of land in the 2800 block of Toledo Avenue along Highway 100 to the city. Both parcels, totaling 1.69 acres, are offered as-is and where-is, and with no warranties. The south parcel is 0.88 acres and includes the remnants of a retaining wall and rock landscaping of a former wayside rest that MnDOT had on the site (Conveyance 2021-0067 on the attached map). The land has been referred to as “Rock Island” and “Rock Garden.” MnDOT is offering to give the land to the city for zero dollars. MnDOT would require the city use it for park purposes and require a reversionary clause in the deed if the city were to utilize the property in a manner that is inconsistent with park purposes. The north parcel is 0.81 acres (Conveyance 2021-0066 on the attached map). MnDOT is offering to sell the north parcel to the city for fair market value of $187,000 dollars. The offer letter does not appear to include any restrictions on the use. The city has until May 22, 2023, to acknowledge the conditions, accept the offer in writing, and pay for the land. Financial or budget considerations: In addition to the $187,000 cost to acquire the north parcel from MnDOT, the city would incur administrative costs and costs to maintain the property. The source of funds for the purchase will come from the development fund. Strategic priority consideration: • St. Louis Park is committed to continue to lead in environmental stewardship. • St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood- oriented development.

The two parcels are in the 2800 block of Toledo Avenue along Highway 100 and total 1.69 acres. Both parcels are offered as-is and where-is, and with no warranties. The south parcel is 0.88 acres and includes the remnants of a retaining wall and rock landscaping of a former wayside rest that MnDOT had on the site (Conveyance 2021-0067 on the attached map).

The north parcel is 0.81 acres (Conveyance 2021-0066 on the attached map). MnDOT is offering to sell the north parcel to the city for fair market value of $187,000 dollars. The offer letter does not include any restrictions on the use. City council previously received staff reports regarding this matter. A report on November 22, 2021 (report, minutes) provided history regarding the site and past city activities. Other reports on February 7, 2022 (report), December 12, 2022 (report, minutes on page six) and February 27, 2023 (report on pages 10-14) provided context for council discussion or status updates. Also, city council held a closed session on April 17, 2023, to discuss the details of the offers. Present considerations: The city needs to acknowledge the conditions, accept the offers in writing, and make payment on or before May 22, 2023, for one or both parcels. Since the last council update, city staff and the city attorney reviewed title commitments for these two parcels and the environmental information provided by M nDOT. These did not raise any concerns or warrant further investigation. Next steps: If approved, the city will contact MnDOT and make payment before MnDOT’s deadline. After the city controls the south parcel, staff propose to initiate comprehensive plan and zoning map amendments to designate the parcel as park and open space (passive/open space use). After the city controls the north parcel, staff anticipate the land will be maintained as-is until there is public process with the community and council direction on the appropriate land use. The details regarding the process and timing have not been determined but will be incorporated into future work plans.

Policy consideration: None. Summary: On April 18, 2022, the city council adopted Ordinance No. 2645-22, granting preliminary and final planned unit development approval to Arbor House Apartments on Wooddale Avenue. As part of the development agreement, the developer was directed to construct a left-turn lane on the southbound off-ramp of Highway 100 at Wooddale Avenue. Because this construction will occur within MnDOT right-of-way and the city was currently undertaking a construction project along Wooddale Avenue, the city took on the role of the project manager to get MnDOT’s approval for the turn lane. The engineering firm of Bolton and Menk, who had designed the city’s 2022 36th Street and Wooddale Avenue Improvements project, was hired to design the new turn lane and obtain MnDOT approval. This agreement allows the city to reconfigure the center median of Wooddale Avenue for the construction of a left-turn lane. The owners of the Arbor House have established a cash escrow account to cover the expense of the turn lane construction. All costs associated with this project will be covered by this account. The engineer’s estimate for construction of this project is $125,418.95. Since this estimate is less than $175,000 so the contract will be awarded by the city manager. The city is currently soliciting bids for this project from qualified contractors. Construction is anticipated to occur this summer in coordination with Metro Green Line work at Wooddale station. Financial or budget considerations: All costs associated with this project will be covered by the escrow account established by the owners of the Arbor House. 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.

Policy consideration: This authorization of parking restrictions is allowed per the city code. Summary: In April 2023, staff received a request from a resident at 3116 Nevada Avenue for a medical needs parking permit. The resident requires curbside access to vehicles adjacent to their property due to mobility concerns. It has been the city’s practice to use permit parking in these types of situations, which can be removed when the individual needing access no longer resides there or no longer needs the access. Staff considers the request to be valid and supports the installation of permit parking at 3116 Nevada Avenue. This recommendation is based on the following: • A resident of the household has limited mobility and is eligible for a parking permit. • Installing permit parking will mitigate conflicting parking tendencies with neighbors. • Parking is allowed on this block of Nevada Avenue. A review of the city code revealed that these requests do not require council approval. Due to this, staff recommends that moving forward, these requests will be approved administratively and not brought to council for action. Financial or budget considerations: The cost of enacting these controls is approximately $300 and will come out of the general operating budget. Parking signs can last on the street for roughly ten years. Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

P.I.D. 17-117-21-33-0109. Policy consideration: The proposed action is consistent with the policy previously established by the city council. Summary: Rachel Rodenborg aka Holdgrafer and Nancy Holdgrafer, owners of the single-family residence at 7716 Division Street, 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 public health, safety and welfare within the community. The special assessment policy for the repair or replacement of water and/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 owners 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 $16,590. Financial or budget considerations: The city has funds in place to finance the cost of this special assessment.

Policy consideration: Does the city council wish to support Project for Pride in Living’s requests for Pandemic Recovery Funds and Affordable Housing Incentive Funds from Hennepin County in connection with its Union Park Flats development? Summary: Nonprofit Redeveloper, Project for Pride in Living (PPL) (“Redeveloper”), has a purchase agreement to acquire the northern half of the block at 3700 Alabama Ave, which is owned and occupied by Union Congregational Church. PPL’s proposed plans call for the construction of a three-story apartment building providing 60 units of affordable multi-family housing. The proposed $28.5 million project includes a mix of studios, one- two- three- and four-bedroom units. All units would be affordable to households with between 30% of the area median income (AMI) and 60% AMI. The development includes 16 deeply affordable units at 30% AMI and 15 family-sized units. In addition, PPL has agreed to provide a longer term of affordability, with at least 40% of the units at 60% AMI or less for 50 years. PPL applied to Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HCHRA) for utilization of pandemic relief and affordable housing funding to help offset increased costs incurred by the development related to the COVID-19 pandemic. PPL received funding allocations from HCHRA from its Pandemic Recovery Fund and Affordable Housing Incentive Fund to assist with the construction of the all-affordable Union Park Flats. State Statute Section 383B.77, Subdivision 3, requires approval of the local governing body where the project is located for utilization of these funds. Financial or budget considerations: Not applicable. The resolution of support for Hennepin County’s HCHRA funding does not obligate the EDA or city to provide financial assistance to the development. However, PPL has applied for financial assistance from the EDA and city. Key business terms of the proposed contracts were provided in the staff report on April 3, 2023. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Recitals. 1.01. The Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (the “HCHRA”) has allocated funds from its Pandemic Recovery Fund and Affordable Housing Incentive Fund to assist PPL Union Park Community Limited Partnership, a Minnesota limited partnership, or another affiliate of or entity related to Project for Pride in Living, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation, with the development of an approximately 60-unit multifamily rental housing facility to be located in the city (the “project”). 1.02.

Policy consideration: Does the city council want to continue with the implementation of a mobility sharing program for 2023? Summary: For the past two summers, the scooter company Bird Rides, Inc. has provided mobility sharing services in the city, whose operations went from late May to early November. Last year approximately 1,300 trips were taken during this time, with an average of 13 trips per day by 660 unique users. There were few complaints raised to staff, as well as no reported injuries or crashes attributed to the scooters. In an effort to expand the mobility sharing coverage area, staff undertook a collaborative multi- jurisdictional request for proposal (RFP) with the cities of Hopkins and Golden Valley to ensure that all communities could be covered by the same provider for the 2023 season. This was due in large part to ensure that programs in each community were bolstered by users being able to travel between communities. In the spring of 2023, a joint West Metro Micromobility Sharing RFP was issued and met with proposal responses from Bird Rides, Lime and Spin. Staff from the three communities met and evaluated the proposal and ultimately recommended Spin as the provider. While Spin would be the exclusive provider in Hopkins and Golden Valley, St. Louis Park will have two additional licenses available should additional vendors show interest in deploying in the city. Financial or budget considerations: The vendor will pay a $500 license fee and a flat fee of $75.00 per scooter or $5,625 to deploy 75 scooters for the 2023 season. This will help cover staff time and infrastructure costs. Any other costs related to this policy are negligible and would come from the general operating budget. 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.

The ordinance also establishes up to three permits available to operate mobility sharing (bikes, low-power vehicles (scooters), or vehicle sharing). The ordinance took effect on May 10, 2019, and Spin was the first mobility sharing service to operate in the city. 2022 was the third year a shared mobility company operated scooters in St. Louis Park. Ridership in 2022, averaging 13 rides per day, was higher than the 2021 average of eight (8) rides per day but well short of the ridership of 2019, which was 50 rides per day. No mobility sharing companies operated in the city in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In partnering with Hopkins and Golden Valley, the city hoped to attract more vendors and possibly bike services, which are available in Minneapolis, to the western suburbs. While unsuccessful with bike share vendors, the process attracted three (3) scooter companies with competitive proposals. Below are some of the reasons Spin stood out amongst the proposals: • Spin utilizes full-time employees who are paid a living wage starting at over $16 per hour, rather than sub-contractors, for scooter rebalancing and local questions and concerns; • Spin offers a wide range of adaptive devices for those with mobility issues, which can be delivered on demand; • Spin commits to co-hosting one monthly community safety and engagement event per month, in collaboration with local businesses and groups; and • Spin offered a comprehensive approach to equity through free and reduced pricing programs. A maximum of 250 devices, split among all licensees, will be authorized by the city. The city will evaluate the performance of the program during its length and can increase or decrease the maximum number of devices allowed based on performance metrics and ordinance compliance. The city has received no responses from bike or vehicle-sharing companies. However, there are two additional licenses available, and the city will accept additional service requests. Should additional vendors show interest in deploying in the city, staff will update the council. Next steps If approved, Spin will operate under a similar license agreement as they signed in 2022. The agreement lays out the structure of the program, which has not had any major changes since 2019. A full explanation of the city’s mobility sharing program structure is in the March 25, 2019 study session report. If approved, the mobility sharing license would be valid through Nov. 1, 2023. City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 5k) Page 3 Title: Approve mobility sharing license for Tier Mobility dba Spin Resolution No. 23-____ Resolution approving a mobility sharing services license agreement with Tier Mobility, dba Spin Whereas, city code sections 30-212 to 30-258 regulate mobility sharing operations within the City of St. Louis Park; and, Whereas, the goal of the shared mobility program is to decrease the use of personal vehicles, increase access to public transit, increase the use of active transportation, ensure safe and equitable access to emerging transportation technologies, and ensure alignment with the work of the city’s strategic priorities; and, Whereas, the city has reviewed the RFP submittal provided by Tier Mobility D/B/A Spin and recommend their approval for a mobility sharing license; and, Whereas, St. Louis Park is committed to providing a variety of options for people to make their way around the city comfortably, safely, and reliably; and, Now therefore be it resolved by the city council of the City of St. Louis Park that Tier Mobility dba Spin is hereby approved for a mobility sharing license valid through November 1, 2023.

Call to order – roll call 2. Approval of minutes of July 6, 2022 – the minutes were approved unanimously as presented (Commissioner Youngquist absent). 3. Hearings 3a. Requester for side yard variance at 2830 Inglewood Ave. S. Applicant: Nick Stastny Case No: 22-25-VAR Mr. Morrison presented the report. He noted two letters were entered into the record- one from a physician and one from a physical therapist. He stated they were presented by the applicant at the time of application to explain the need for the side yard variance. Mr. Morrison stated staff recommends approval with conditions noted in the staff report. Chair Beneke asked if the applicant is grandfathered in with the wall. Mr. Morrison stated the minimum set back is six feet. The existing three-foot, 10-inch side yard is legal, but the wall is more than 40 feet long. Mr. Morrison stated the variance will make the existing and proposed setback, as proposed and approved, legal and remove any question of legal non-conformity. He added the additional setback required by the length of the wall will use the existing setback as the starting point, not the six-foot setback required by code. Commissioner Weber asked if this property is so unique that a variance for mobility will be a very rare occurrence, or if code will need to be reviewed further. Mr. Morrison stated he has seen two other requests for variances in the past 20 years, noting it does not come up often, and with a variance, the approval can be customized to both meet their needs and minimize the impact on adjacent properties. Chair Beneke opened the public hearing. Wendy Runge, 2808 Inglewood Ave. S., stated she lives a few houses away from the applicant. She stated it was built as an event center for the community, noting the Orthodox Jewish community has three synagogues within this building. She stated there is no gathering place, so this was made into an event center. She stated when the home City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 8a) Page 2 Title: Board of Zoning Appeals meeting minutes of October 12, 2022 was purchased it was to be used as an event center for family and friends. This helped their family to be close and gave the opportunity to host events from the synagogue. Ms. Runge added the applicant wants to give back to the community, and allow for her physical limitations, so she can be part of the events hosted there. She asked for the BOZA to approve this and empower the applicant’s family to give back to the community. Harriet Fogarty, 2237 Fairmount Ave. S, St. Paul, and grew up at 2824 Huntington Ave. and still owns the home, in St. Louis Park. She stated she was a registered nurse, and she is very sympathetic of people who need care. She stated the previous residents were not good neighbors, and she is not in favor of the variance and the codes are fair for all. She stated the property lines on both sides have been destroyed. She stated she did not know this was happening and was not notified of this issue by the city, and this public hearing was the first she heard of it. She stated she will put up a fence to prevent anyone from gaining entrance to her property. Farrel Braunstein has lived on Joppa Ave., noting she is no longer able to walk to her synagogue. She stated there is plenty of room to walk between the houses noting she just wants to be able to get into the house in the winter. She said they will not build onto the house, and only want to put an elevator and a ramp in the house. Commissioner Weber asked if the applicant owns another home in the area and for clarification on this home. Ms. Einstein stated yes, they own another home on Huntington Ave and this home as well. Commissioner Salzer asked if there is enough room for Ms. Einstein to get into the vehicle. She stated there is enough room for her to slide out and added she just wants to live in St. Louis Park and close to her house of worship. Chair Beneke closed the public hearing. Commissioner Youngquist asked for clarification on Ms. Fogarty’s earlier comments. Ms. Fogarty stated she opposes the variance as there is not enough room between the house and property line. She owns the home next door and is in the process of selling it, but she wants to preserve what the buyer sees, including the privacy. Commissioner Kraft stated this seems like a reasonable request being able to stay in a home and the distance will not be any different between the homes. She stated it seems like a very modest addition to make a big impact in the family’s life, so she would be in favor of granting the variance. Commissioner Salzer added he is also in favor and was only concerned about the width of the area between the garage and house, noting there will be some work. City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 8a) Page 3 Title: Board of Zoning Appeals meeting minutes of October 12, 2022 Commissioner Youngquist stated she has sympathy for the issue as she has had spinal surgery herself. She stated she is also the owner of a house with a one car garage and cannot imagine navigating that with mobility issues. She is supportive and agrees with the staff recommendation to keep the addition at one story to reduce the impact on the adjoining properties. Commission Weber made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Eckholm to approve the variance as recommended by staff. The motion passed unanimously. 4. Other Business - none 5. Communications - none 6.

The motion passed unanimously. 3. Hearings 3a. St. Louis Park High School conditional use permit amendment Applicant: St. Louis Park School District Case No: 22-28-CUP Ms. Kramer presented the report. Commissioner Weber asked what is new and what was previously approved. Ms. Kramer stated all the additions on the building were previously approved. She added she is not sure if the basement storm shelter is new. She stated the parking lots were all previously approved and the parking along Idaho Ave will be built with the project, rather than the previous proposal of proof-of-parking. The track and field work has been added to the project scope. Mr. Tom Bravo, St. Louis Park School District, stated the track and field will be accomplished at the same time as the rest of the project and the storm water management system is also above and beyond the original 2018 plan. Commissioner Salzer asked if the track and field will be open to the public. Mr. Bravo stated the school district has not discussed accessibility yet, and right now it is fenced. He added if rented out, it will need to meet the school district’s needs. Ms. Kramer added the athletic fields will meet the needs of the school and parents or anyone that attends events, and thus may qualify as alternative landscaping features. City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 8b) Page 2 Title: Planning Commission meeting minutes of January 18, 2023 The alternative landscaping features option is not a variance but is allowed in the zoning code with the staff’s approval. Commissioner Salzer noted it is not general access then, and Ms. Kramer agreed, that is correct. Commissioner Divecha asked for an explanation of the performance guarantee and cash escrow. Ms. Kramer stated this is a condition that is standard on most city projects. She explained the city takes a cash escrow or letter of credit that covers the cost of landscaping installation, so in a year the city can inspect to be sure all the landscaping lived and then the funds are released. Commissioner Salzer asked about the new on-street parking and how it is configured. Ms. Kramer stated it is on Idaho Ave. and will be head-in parking partially in the right-of- way and on school property. She added sidewalks will be installed around the new spaces and new landscaping will be planted to screen the school from the street. Commissioner Salzer asked who is responsible for snow removal in the parking lot. Ms. Kramer stated it is an ongoing discussion to be finalized in the contracts signed with the school. Commissioner Youngquist asked if the parking along Idaho Ave. is because students are driving to school and does the district do anything to disincentive students from driving to school. Mr. Bravo stated it was done because there were requirements that needed to be met. He noted this type of parking works well near Library Lane, and this design of parking was included. St. Louis Park School Superintendent Osei stated students are not disincentivized to drive to school, but students do have access with busing and also students driving to school must go through a process to obtain a parking permit to park at the school. Commissioner Divecha asked if the feedback from the bus driver was going to be incorporated to level the bus drop-off at Library Lane. Ms. Kramer stated she was not sure and there had not been time to share this with the applicant. Mr. Bravo stated the parking will be all leveled off, like the middle school drop off. Mr. Bravo also noted this location was outside the current project area. Commissioner Salzer asked how many spots will be in the new parking lot, adding it looks very tight, and asked if there is a variance. Ms. Kramer stated the design meets all driveway width and parking standards of the city as well as parking count requirements. Commissioner Salzer asked if there will be handicapped parking in the new area. Ms. Kramer stated there will be 3 handicapped spots there on the north side, near the entrance. Chair Beneke opened the public hearing. There were no speakers present. City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 8b) Page 3 Title: Planning Commission meeting minutes of January 18, 2023 Chair Beneke closed the public hearing. Commissioner Weber made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Eckholm, to approve the CUP as presented by staff. The motion passed unanimously. 4. Other Business – Mr. Walther stated Chair and Vice Chair positions need to be nominated today. Commissioner Weber volunteered to be Chair. Commissioner Divecha volunteered to be Vice Chair. Commissioner Salzer made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Youngquist to approve Commissioner Weber as 2023 Planning Commission Chair, and Commissioner Divecha be 2023 Planning Commission Vice Chair. The motion passed unanimously. 5. Communications – Mr. Walther noted the study session will follow this meeting. He noted items on the study session agenda that will be discussed. Mr. Walther stated the Feb 1, 2023, meeting is cancelled, and the next meeting will be Feb. 15, 2023. He added Katie Martin is the new commissioner appointed in December to replace Commissioner Kraft’s vacant seat. 6.

He noted more details are coming about the proposal and timing and schedule of the SW light rail plans. He stated proposals are expected to be received tomorrow and the goal is to complete the project in 9 – 10 months and the consultant will be selected before the next commission meeting on Feb. 15, and schedule and timing will be forthcoming. Commissioner Youngquist asked if the station areas are ½ mile in radius around the station. Mr. Walther stated yes. Commissioner Beneke asked if these areas are zoned separately now. Mr. Walther stated the districts have been adjusted around the station from industrial to business park, and some moved to mixed use as well. He added the Sam’s club site was also rezoning to business park, so there is potential for some new developments there also. Mr. Walther stated the comprehensive plan could be amended going forward. He noted the Micro Center site could also be redeveloped at some point also. Commissioner Weber asked if the development will be affected during the zoning changes. Mr. Walther stated every year there are minor changes that are made. He added on the work plan, the review of residential districts will also be part of the work of the commission. Mr. Walther noted the timing on this will go into 4th quarter and the zoning regulations will be in place very soon as well. Mr. Walther noted the city has a new racial equity director, and noted the training for boards and commissions will be discussed as this moves forward. Commissioner Youngquist asked about holding meetings in different locations. Mr. Walther stated in the past meetings have been held at different facilities in the city, adding that one study session was held in the Walker Lake Historic District in the past. Commissioner Weber asked if a meeting might be held at the high school during the school day and so to also recruit a student for the commission. Mr. Walther asked the commissioners about their availability. They noted if it is planned well in advance, it could work. City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 8c) Page 2 Title: Planning Commission study session minutes of January 18, 2023 Mr. Walther noted that timing for appointments of student members is in August. Commissioner Divecha asked about the analysis of distribution of projects. Mr. Walther stated this just shows the activity, applications and trends of projects that come through the planning commission to give an idea of the workload and trends. Commissioner Youngquist asked about items in the parking lot. Mr. Walther stated several requests were made in the industrial districts, where there have been changes and others came from commissioner ideas, noting those items were prioritized or put on hold, or being done through other work. Commissioner Beneke asked if there is anyway to get more owner occupied vs. rentals. Mr. Walther stated the council is looking more action with affordable home ownership. He added the city has had much success with 50-60% AMI and now is looking to shift to 30% AMI, while the council is also interested in affordable home ownership. Mr. Walther asked if the items in the parking lot items should remain there. The commissioners noted the parking lot items can remain as they are. 2. Miscellaneous zoning code amendments Mr. Morrison presented the report and noted each item in detail. Commissioner Youngquist asked why the temporary structures was changed from 6 months to 2 weeks. Mr. Morrison stated there was a more permanent tennis facility set up at a fitness center that utilized a temporary roof during the winter. The code was changed to 14 days after that facility was replaced with a permanent building. Covid reintroduced utilizing temporary structures during the winter for activities like outdoor dining. Mr. Walther also noted there were concerns with outdoor dining and heaters as it relates to the city’s climate action plan. The commission agreed to eliminate the option to increase the maximum number of cars parked on the driveway depending upon the number of licensed drivers living in the house. Commissioner Divecha noted the recommended maximum number is three but asked if it should be increased. The commission discussed this, but decided to stay with three, noting it could be increased if it becomes apparent that three is too low. Commissioner Divecha asked if the cars could be kept at 3 allowed and then an exception if there is a snow emergency. Mr. Walther said from staff perspective that is fine. With regards to eliminating the required 25-foot setback for food service adjacent to residential properties, Commissioner Youngquist asked where C1 is in the city. Mr. Morrison stated primarily commercial properties along Minnetonka Blvd and Excelsior Blvd are C1. The commissioners discussed painting brick facades. Mr. Walther noted the community is not opposed to brick painting, citing a previous example where the BOZA required paint to be removed from a building, but seemed open to allowing painted buildings if the code City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 8c) Page 3 Title: Planning Commission study session minutes of January 18, 2023 were changed. He also reviewed other examples of when brick is painted, which includes murals and signs. Mr. Morrison stated new construction must meet the minimum required class 1 materials, which includes unpainted brick, stone and other unpainted materials. Existing buildings, however, would be free to paint the brick and other class 1 materials. Mr. Walther noted that it is so difficult to stop buildings from being painted because a permit is not required, so the city typically finds out after the fact. Commissioner Beneke asked about the hemp derived products and if the council had already approved this. Mr. Walther stated this was approved by the state, but the city still can regulate this. He stated the city will be looking at the rules and there will be more to come on this. 3.

Commissioner Eckholm made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Youngquist, to approve the miscellaneous code amendments to the zoning ordinance. The motion passed unanimously. 4. Other Business 5. Communications 5a. Update on TOD station area planning. Mr. Walther gave an update. He noted a project is getting underway to update the city’s three station area plans for the areas around the light rail METRO Green Line Extension as well as creating a plan for the Excelsior Boulevard corridor west of Highway 100. He noted staff is recruiting for a steering committee which will provide input on the scope, community engagement process, and the plans. This will be a full year process with several opportunities for the community to engage with the city. City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 8d) Page 2 Title: Planning Commission meeting minutes of February 15, 2023 Commissioner Youngquist asked if there will be any touchpoints with the planning commission and how the commission will be involved. Mr. Walther stated yes and added that city staff will update and get feedback from the commission throughout the process. He stated it is also likely this final plan and any comprehensive plan amendments or zoning code changes to implement the plan would come to the commission first for recommendations and potential adoption by the city council. Chair Weber asked if the station area plans with Excelsior Blvd will be considered one plan. Mr. Walther stated each of the four areas will likely have its own character and goals within the context of the city’s strategic priorities and comprehensive plan, but the structure of the document will have similar components, such as how it is organized and the metrics and themes that will be reviewed and determined and later tracked to measure progress. 5b.

Residential districts zoning code update The discussion involved housing types, including single-family, duplex, 3 and 4 plex’s, townhomes, cluster housing, mid and high-rise, live/work units, rowhouses, courtyard cottages and detached units. They also discussed entrance types and lot sizes. Commissioner Beneke asked where condominiums fit in. Mr. Walther stated this is generally related to how the ownership of a property is divided versus a housing type. Commissioner Weber asked if some of these housing types are already present in St. Louis Park. Mr. Walther stated a spectrum of examples of each of these housing types are already present in the city and were developed under different rules than the city has today. Most of them fall under the broad definition of multifamily or cluster housing in the zoning code and are not well distinguished in the code. Commissioner Weber stated if the city zoning code would allow rowhouses, would the city have to know ahead of time if all rowhouses need to sit on one big lot, or multiple lots. Ms. Trapp stated no, this would just need to be included in the code language with minimum lot size included, so both scenarios are accommodated. She added typically for rowhouses the minimum lot size for a unit is 22 feet wide, and noted right now the code does not include this, and if added it would help the code be clearer about how they are allowed. Commissioner Beneke asked if a builder could combine lots for building. Ms. Trapp stated lots can be assembled and combined into a larger lot. Mr. Morrison stated lots can be combined and re-subdivided to result in smaller lots also. Two adjacent properties that are not large enough to split on their own might be large enough to subdivide into three lots if they are first combined or developed jointly. Commissioner Weber asked if the council has indicated whether it wants the planning commission to help reshape the zoning code to prevent developers from combining lots to build a mega structure, or to be developed in more unique ways. City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 8e) Page 2 Title: Planning Commission meeting minutes of March 1, 2023 Mr. Walther stated the council did several workshops last fall related to managing change in low density residential neighborhoods. He stated, in general, the city council is interested in more housing, more affordable housing, a greater variety of housing types, and they want to be able to provide for multi-generational households and meet different housing needs for a variety of household types. He added the council wasn’t as clear or achieve consensus about what constitutes appropriate scale, but they have wrestled multiple times with the question of how to prevent houses that are too large and when and if that is a problem. Commissioner Weber stated then the commission should not feel restricted because staff is bringing the ideas to the commission for consideration that council is generally interested in exploring. Mr. Walther agreed and noted these policy changes were supported in the adopted 2040 comprehensive plan. He added there will also need to be public engagement on these issues and the details of how the changes are made will be important to the outcomes. Commissioner Eckholm added a major cost of housing is also the cost of the land itself. He noted if only certain types of homes can be certain lots, that will bring challenges. He added dividing up the land the city has will allow more people to have access to it. Commissioner Weber asked if regulations are included in the zoning code today, related to shadows cast by buildings. Mr. Walther stated yes, it is. However, they only apply to the development of new multifamily and commercial buildings. Commissioner Weber asked about when residents are concerned about issues in their neighborhoods with housing, for example in a college area, if those concerns usually are about the home ownership type or residents that live in these homes. Ms. Trapp stated it’s usually concerns about both, noting that oftentimes it’s about having more renters in a neighborhood, and transitions from single-family to rental, and scale of building as well. Commissioner Divecha noted sometimes people use zoning to regulate things like pollution or noise. Zoning, however, may not always be the best tool to do that. The city has other more effective ordinances and tools to regulate these things. Commissioner Divecha asked about parking, and its impacts, and noted several articles she’s read where some cities are removing all parking requirements within a city. She asked if parking will be discussed. Ms. Trapp stated yes this will be discussed within the zoning code. Commissioner Beneke stated he hopes the main goal of this be creating affordable ownership opportunities. Commissioner Eckholm stated he would like to see smaller lots and row houses as a result from the code changes. A big part of the cost of housing it the price of the land. He added it is all a matter of what will be allowed where though. City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 8e) Page 3 Title: Planning Commission meeting minutes of March 1, 2023 Commissioner Merten commented that all housing types have the potential to become rentals, especially distressed properties that can be fixed up and flipped or rented. Commissioner Eckholm stated that is part of the risk of trying to lock the community in amber to remain as it is for all time. It will invite disinvestment and may attract institutional buyers to buy multiple properties. Commissioner Merten stated that may be a concern that adding these other housing types will result in developers building these for rental instead of for sale. Commissioner Weber responded that a concern is not about allowing courtyard cottage developments, for example, but that the site design of the developments does not result in the preserved and shared green space and walking paths the city envisions. He added he is supportive of allowing high-rise apartments, but he understands they don’t belong in all neighborhoods. He asked how we can produce the ideal, instead of resulting in too large parking lots or an attractive building design, and that they meet the standards. He included the example Commissioner Youngquist mentioned of a very garage forward design with a very wide driveway shown in an earlier example photo. Ms. Trapp mentioned that the minimum standards may help prevent the design the community does not want, and perhaps lead to the designs the community favors. Mr. Walther commented that zoning is a limited and relatively blunt instrument and tool. It does not result in good design. It provides the constraints within which people design. Those designs can meet the rules and still look great or terrible. Commissioner Weber asked what’s to keep the commission from agreeing to all types of housing for the city. Mr. Miller shared an example from Grand Marais where they have a severe housing shortage and they changed from having two housing districts, single family and multifamily, to only one residential district. In that district the types of housing you can build are determined by the lot size. The site design standards change based on the size of the lot. Commissioner Divecha asked about the live work units. Mr. Walther stated these have a commercial front. He noted home-based business are allowed across all the city districts, but generally they don’t have a commercial storefront. Commissioner Eckholm commented on a specific picture of a duplex that was shown, and he noted that he does not like the look of it because it tries to disguise it by making it look like one large house. It is too much massing from the street. Mr. Morrison noted its worth looking at the two years of experience Minneapolis has with their new ordinances to allow duplexes throughout single-family districts. It’s an opportunity for us to learn from their experiences. Articles are starting to appear summarizing their experiences and offering suggestions. Commissioner Eckholm added the triplex idea didn’t take off in Minneapolis like everyone thought overnight. He stated it will be a slow and gradual process until it takes hold and feels like natural development in the community. City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 8e) Page 4 Title: Planning Commission meeting minutes of March 1, 2023 Commissioner Weber noted the origins of zoning was not only to exclude uses, but also to exclude certain people. He stated the city has the opportunity now to rethink and change zoning rules to create the most benefit for an area, not necessarily the biggest, but the most benefit. The zoning should provide the most opportunity for that to occur, so the zoning does not undersell the promise of a neighborhood. He added he likes this as a guiding principle to help make St. Louis Park a great city. This is a way to exorcise the history of zoning as an exclusion tool, and instead we are trying to rethink it to be inclusive and provide the most benefit. He also stated the city already has many of these types of houses as noted in the report blended in our neighborhoods, so no one should be overly concerned about expanding those types of housing within their neighborhood. The commission also discussed housing types and where they would be allowed. Commissioner Youngquist asked about what was meant by multi-modal corridors and if that meant having bike lanes. Mr. Walther stated this will include all forms of modality present within the corridors, but yes, on the map they seem to coincide with the city’s community bikeway and sidewalk planned networks. Commissioner Eckholm noted a high-rise near the light rail makes sense, but not within a neighborhood. Mr. Walther referenced the land use and zoning maps, but asked the commission to consider if these maps should remain the same, and if adjustments need to be made to the zoning code for the future. Commissioner Youngquist noted housing types in the light rail station areas, and explained there are expectations from the Met Council on density of walking distance with the light rail station, so single family homes there would not be appropriate. Mr. Walther agreed in part. He added there is an average minimum of 50 units per acre in this area, but existing single family and smaller lot single family can still be part of the mix provided the average density of new development in the vicinity of the stations meet those minimum standards. Commissioner Eckholm stated the mid-rise building would be preferred close to the light rail corridor. He added on Excelsior there are areas where mid-rise housing might be appropriate and other areas where it may not be. Commissioner Eckholm also noted the intersection of Minnetonka and Louisiana needs more businesses to walk to vs. drive to. The parking lot is an opportunity to add to those amenities. Commissioner Divecha asked about limits to development in certain areas, and where the city should be more aggressive about forcing minimum density. City council meeting of May 1, 2023 (Item No. 8e) Page 5 Title: Planning Commission meeting minutes of March 1, 2023 Commissioner Weber added that Texa-Tonka is also a nice experiment right now, with some great stuff happening there, noting it could be a nice example for other areas in the city. Commissioner Youngquist noted at Louisiana and Cedar Lake Road the area seems ripe for redevelopment at some point, and she struggles talking only about residential without the context of where commercial and mixed-use areas will be located. Mr. Walther stated the planning commission will meet again in April with another study session regarding this ongoing topic of zoning code updates. Mr. Morrison encouraged the commissioners to get familiar with the comprehensive plan and zoning codes of the city. 2.
