5. Informal Public Hearing – Zoning Map Amendments for Properties at Harold Ave / Winnetka Ave N /
Highway 55
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager, started with a summary of his presentation, the group would
revisit a proposal to rezone 10 properties in the SE quadrant of the Winnetka Avenue North and
Highway 55 intersection. The first consideration for this amendment was in 2020, but Council
requested more information of staff after Planning Commission recommended approval. This
rezoning would align the City’s Zoning Map with the Future Land Use Map from the 2040
Comprehensive Plan. Staff added that there are no development proposals pending with the City at
this location.

The properties were guided for Medium Density Residential in the 2030 Plan which was adopted in
2010, then rezoned R‐1 to R‐3 in 2011. Council denied rezoning and the Comp Plan was amended to
reflect Low Density Residential use again.
Properties designated as Medium Density Residential in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and rezoning
from R‐1 to R‐3 was considered in 2020, but pending changes to the R‐3 zoning district caused a
delay. The Planning Commission eventually recommended denial (5‐1) due to resident concerns and
City Council tabled the rezoning and asked staff to revisit it with the Planning Commission when
additional information became available.
Staff analyzed three areas for this rezoning:
Downtown Traffic Study (2022)
o Townhomes generated the greatest number of trips
o Trip distribution showed negligible impacts on traffic congestion
No impacts to Level of Service during peak hours
Only 1 second of delay per vehicle during that time
o Utilized worst case scenario – eventual redevelopment may be less
Pedestrian infrastructure improvements (current)
o New signal installed for pedestrians crossing Winnetka near Harold
o Includes ADA compliant pedestrian median to provide refuge mid‐way across Winnetka
o Operational in early 2023
Hwy 55 BRT Study (still pending)
o No clear timing for start of the feasibility study so staff relied on Metro Transit target
densities for station areas
o At this point, the target location doesn’t meet the target Metro Transit densities
Building height
o Vallee d’Or – 2 ½ stories
o Valley Square Corporate Center – 3 stories
o Valley Creek Office Park – 4 stories + on a hill
o Calvary Apartments – 10 to 11 stories
o Proposed multifamily development within the downtown – 6 stories
Staff reviewed the zoning requirements for a Medium Density Residential (R‐3) Zoning District,
permitted uses, conditional uses, the density range, and building heights.
Staff reviewed community feedback received prior to the meeting as well as questions posed.

Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval of an amendment to the Zoning Map to rezone the ten properties in
question from Single‐Family Residential (R‐1) to Medium Density Residential (R‐3).
Commissioner Segelbaum mentioned the change in the zoning map and asked if staff had a map of
continuous properties to understand zoning of areas around the area for discussion today.
Staff responded the areas to the south are R‐2 and areas to the north are higher density residential,
commercial, and office. The only R‐1 area is along Rhode Island, however the lots are narrow and
built as if they’re zoned R‐2.
Segelbaum mentioned the comments about more cut throughs on Harold, noted the patterns of
folks going through the neighborhood to enter Winnetka. He asked what can be done to reduce the
speed of the traffic though that area. Engineering staff would need to be consulted but aside from
adding stop signs, speed bumps can be added or road narrowing could occur. Staff needs to consult
engineers and public works to determine steps in this process.
Commissioner Ginis mentioned the park land surrounding the area being discussed, she asked if
Brookview was in a timetable for federal money to pay back if the area changes. Staff will discuss
with the Parks and Rec division.
Chair Pockl asked why the Rhode Island properties aren’t included. Staff responded the homes were
build in 2011 and are on 50ft lots and thus meet the density goal for the City.
Chair Pockl opened the public forum at 7:08pm.
Chair Pockl noted the comments received via Golden Valley Speaks and are on record.
Ruth Paradise
8515 Duluth St
I attend many public hearings, the noise from highways is often a problem and I think having single
family homes along a highway is problematic. I support the feasibility study and development of a
new downtown area, I view this project as being a part of that. If you were to build a building for
senior citizens, those folks are generally retired and don’t often add to high traffic times. I drove
along Harold to see buildings, the row houses that face Harold are the back. The front of the
buildings are in the parking lot and are 3 stories high. I’m not sure how that impacts neighbors. I just
wanted to note in the single‐family area, 3 story buildings are already present. Rezoning and adding a
building for senior citizens is an economically sound decision.
Laurie Levin
240 Brunswick
I support changing the zoning, it’s clear that there’s a housing challenge and this provides Golden
Valley with an opportunity for housing. I understand the people directly impacted may be upset but
if you look at the city as a whole, this change can only be to our benefit and really help folks who
need housing.

Theresa Belden
2937 Orchard Ave N
I support the rezoning to R‐3, the plans for the City and our city goals are for more affordable and
diverse housing. I support those changes. I support adding rapid transit and this is an important step
to those goals.
Kathy Waldhauser
3220 Orchard
I support this rezoning and I recall the conversations over the last 15 years. I understand the traffic
concerns as I also don’t like to cross 55 at Winnetka. I hope things can be done to improve that. I
would encourage the City to put more pressure on Met Council and the County to do something to
reconfigure the roads. This area is ripe for more density and their road configuration isn’t helping. I
would like to see more housing variety on the south side of Golden Valley. Highway 55 has created
an economic division, school district division, a property tax division, and a services division. I would
like to see more variety of housing and that includes affordable and family housing in the south side
of 55. I don’t think that will happen without this project.
Mark Boemer
7529 Harold in the Vallee D’or Complex
I oppose this rezoning and I want to understand the use of the city property. I’d like to understand
the use of city property. I recall a conversation about the community center and hotel going there,
I’m confused why we’re now concerned about the watershed when that was all restricted the to golf
course. We consistently use the term “affordable housing”, when the Rhode Island development
occurred, that was supposed to offer a percentage of affordable housing. Eight years ago, when that
complex was built, the least expensive home sold there was $650k. We need to be careful when we
use the term “affordable housing”. Numerous housing options were placed on Xenia, why wasn’t
affordable housing included there? When the liberty property was built with tax increment financing,
under the guise that there would be affordable housing. From what I understand, there’s not a single
“affordable housing” unit in that complex. To say we want to rezone to R‐3 so as to include
affordable housing, we know a developer will come in and there won’t be actually affordable housing
options. Regarding downtown and the rapid bus transit, I think we’re building these words to present
a grandiose picture. Our downtown consists of two blocks, this isn’t a real downtown area. When you
discuss this complex and folks walking from there to downtown, I’m sure some will a few times but
what will be the actual use? Will all 200 people parade across 55, multiple times per day? BRT hasn’t
been approved and we found out with the light rail, that can be moved at any time. I’m sure they’d
update 394’s BRT before adding a whole new line along 55. If everything south and east is R‐2, why
disrupt the whole neighborhood with R‐3 and not maintain consistency.
Martha Johnson
7647 Harold Ave
My concern is with the BRT, it’s speculative. To rezone based on speculation seems not adequate.
There is a bus stop, have we studied that usage. If folks don’t use that, why do we think a new bus
line is needed.

Bev Weinberg
7523 Harold
Regarding housing for seniors, if they’re living in that new complex, they’re unlikely to cross
Winnetka to use the downtown area. Seniors may not drive as much, however families, staff,
vendors, and all other folks to support seniors living in that complex will be using those roads.
Mark Friederichs
7501 Western Ave
I’ve been around long enough to see the Vatican Council, Kennedy assassination, Vietnam War, and
about 50 of these traffic studies. The staff that keeps recommending to change the zoning, it’s folks
outside of our neighborhood. We are the most welcoming neighborhood in the city already. We have
Brookview, the gold course, Lion’s Club – we welcome folks in constantly. Maybe the City should
leave the composition of out neighborhood. Instead of a study, staff should canvass the neighbors
and do what they say.
Tina Prokosh
7601 Harold
I live in a corner complex of the Vallee and this rezoning and project would ruin my view of treetops
from my living room and bedroom. I would instead look at a building and a parking lot, I bought my
unit because of the neighborhood feel and this change would remove that.
Marty Micks
90 Louisiana
This project doesn’t impact me directly but it seems the traffic study was done during covid. (staff
chimed in that the study was done at the end of 2022). Golden Valley Speaks wasn’t accessible today
(staff added that GV Speaks window closes 24 hours in advance of the meeting so staff and
commissioners have time to review). This property has been looked at by developers since the 90’s
and since that time, Harold has been narrowed, the road is less welcoming than before to more
housing. The Xenia has about 300 units with hardly any rented out. New construction costs more so
we are often removing older houses to build new that cost more. We need more creative solutions to
create housing affordable to the average person.
Adam Moench
7710 Harold
I just bought my house and I’ve been working on the house to return it to what it used to be. We
have huge oak trees on our land, we cherish that there was an opportunity for us to be first time
homeowners in this area. There’s a lot of weight to the other comments about affordability and the
rezoning impacts that for us.
Mary Munsterteiger
My daughter is Adams partner and I was their realtor. They are excited for their new home and the
neighborhood. Please consider how this impacts current homeowners.

Brian Li
406 Rhode Island
I am against this rezoning. I have a 3‐year‐old and crossing Harold can even be dangerous. We have
16 grade school kids in the area and we need to coordinate to make sure it’s safe for them to cross
the street. I’m concerned that even now the road is hard to cross and this would make that worse. Is
the traffic study public? Are there height restrictions in case the R‐3 is approved.
Aaron Matuseski
407 Rhode Island
I’m a new resident to Golden Valley and I’m also concerned about my son crossing Harold. I would
imagine the development would increase traffic and I suppose it would go to whatever economically
benefits the neighborhood the most. That could be a high rise instead of senior living. My question is
if there has been analysis on meeting the desired density by parceling out the lots similar to how
Rhode Island was done to meet R‐2?
Mike Pikus
7724 Harold
I’m part of the affected rezoning, I’ve lived here since 1991. My question is, once this is rezoned,
what controls if this parcel is developed as one unit or is parceled out individually? The property next
to me is owned by one of the original developers and divides the map in half. What is stopping an
apartment building from being placed in a similar fashion and removing any other possibilities.
Andy Johnson
7645 Harold
The comp plan was a massive document that discussed the general vision for the city. Since then,
many changes have occurred and that’s our City’s plan. It was submitted to Met Council but that
doesn’t mean it can’t change, it’s been changed several times. The Comp Plan envisions many things
working together, this R‐3 is predicated on things that haven’t occurred. The Golden Valley Mall will
not change as long as the current owner is there, it’s documented. The east side of 55 may or may
not change, it’s up for debate. With an R‐3 and a CUP, which only requires 8 items are met, they
could have a 5‐story building. The parking lot will remain, the SW corner will remain, the trees to the
north side of the buildings will be replaced by a structure that could be 5‐stories tall; that’s the one
thing that will change. The bus route is predicated by Met Council and is a guess, they’re also 1million
dollars over budget on the light rail. To have a structure on that corner, there is no viable way to get
over 55 except for the bridge. I live there, I don’t see a lot of traffic there, it’s not a viable option. The
seniors in Calvary don’t even like to go to McDonalds because crossing is too hard in the winter.
Finally, we shouldn’t treat the Comp Plan like a software program where you put an algorithm in and
it spits out an answer. This is our community and we have a right to think about how we want it and
make changes. My last pitch is that we are potentially putting folks out of their homes in the name of
greater density. How can we make these renters move and force them to find an affordable place to
live when they already have one? I don’t think that’s the spirit of Golden Valley.

130 Louisiana Ave N
This is the 3rd time since I’ve lived here, 2010, 2020, and now that we’ve had to organize the
neighborhood. It’s disappointing we have to continue organize the neighborhood to get City Council
to listen to us. Last time we had a petition with over 150 signatures opposing this rezoning. No one
can support the traffic here. We haven’t seen the full impact of traffic yet from Xenia and our areas is
a cut though when Glenwood backs up. We’ve asked for speedbumps near Lion’s park, the City said
before we couldn’t because of the plows so why is it an option now when the rezoning is on the
table. Nothing adjacent has an r‐3 density, downtown isn’t even that dense. Most of the high‐density
buildings are along the corridor where it’s mixed zoning already. Creating this zoning doesn’t make
the bus come through and it doesn’t create a change for downtown. Once this is rezoned, the city
loses control over all development that meets r‐3. It could be 5 stories, it could be dense, it doesn’t
match the neighborhood and it’ll ruin the new houses that were built as well as the townhomes on
Harold. Let’s propose R‐2 for this land, it’ll promote development that matches the neighborhood
and attract folks that would use the park. My final comment is that we were told by the City that
nobody would develop the Rhode Island area and the Harold area but it was because we were sitting
on this rezoning decision that we wouldn’t make. When it was decided, 8 new houses were built. The
same thing will happen now.
Chair Pockl closed the public comment portion at 7:50pm
Staff and commissioners addressed questions from the comment period.
Traffic Study
o The pages of the traffic study, related to this project are in the agenda packet. There
was a larger report done and you may reach out to planning staff and they will provide
that.
o R‐2 traffic study was not included in the traffic study, the number of trips generated is
different.
R‐3 Designation
o R‐3 governs what uses can be there, multi‐family, townhomes, both senior/non‐senior
builds, 4‐story height is by right, for a senior building 5 stories are allowed with a CUP.
o If this were rezoned, how it’s developed, depends on who owns the property and do
the proposals meet the minimum standards. A smaller single‐family lot is not sufficient
for an apartment building. If all 6.2 acres were purchased, 1‐2 multi‐family buildings
could go there. Most of the existing properties are too small to meet the threshold.
Watershed
o There are restrictions related to the water conservation funding and there isn’t
interest in turning Brookview Park into a developed area.
Bus
City of Golden Valley Planning Commission Regular Meeting
February 13, 2023 – 6:30 pm

o There is probably ridership data for the bus routes along Winnetka. However, Highway
BRT is very different than standard bus routes or even limited stop buses. It does not
include separate lanes but the pull over on the shoulder and you get on at a station
that resembles a light rail station. It would attract a user from downtown and the
suburbs.
Affordable Housing
o The City cannot zone for affordable housing however it can be part of a proposal if a
developer wanted to include it.
o When the Xenia and Liberty Townhomes were built, the City didn’t have the authority
to require affordable units and maintain them over time. The City does now have a
mixed income policy to make this a requirement for a private developer requesting a
zoning change.
Commissioner Brookins stated that in the past he has supported zoning this lot R‐3, he still supports
that zoning. He can’t predict what will go there but believes it’s best for the City if the area is zoned
R‐3 and what may come because of that. Prior to joining the Planning Commission, I too approached
the group about traffic concerns. In the 30 or so years I’ve lived here, traffic hasn’t changed much
outside of the area around Meadowbrook and that’s a school. I don’t think traffic will be a concern
with a R‐3 zoning. If it doesn’t go to R‐3, I would prefer it stay R‐1 and if someone approaches the
group with a PUD then that can be a conversation later.
Commissioner Ginis echoed many of Brookins’ comments. This rezoning matches the long‐term
vision for the city and pedestrian safety should continue to be prioritized. Ginis added she plans to
stay in Golden Valley forever and would like to live in an accessible facility in her senior years. No
downtown won’t change overnight, but planning/redevelopment around downtown will then
support uses in downtown as they change. Golden Valley should be intentional about transit in the
City an I am an active transit user and living in Golden Valley without a car is not possible. Access to
amenities via transit and aging in place is viable when transit is accessible. Tonight, we’re talking
about one parcel but overall we’re looking at an overall plan and a vision.
Commissioner Ruby stated the 55 corridor cuts off a residential area and it’s a shopping area, not a
downtown. He added he doesn’t see the benefit of re‐zoning the parcel to an R‐3 with the hope it’ll
attract a bus line and other businesses. This parcel should either be a R‐2 or a R‐1 with a PUD.
Commissioner Brenna stated the Comp Plan is important and the City should stick with their plan
and goals. Staff has done a good job following through on the extra items asked of them by council
and addressing concerns from residents. She added that she agrees the trees are beautiful but it’s
also private property and the City can’t control what’s done there. As a forester, she understands
that once old growth trees are gone, they don’t just come back. Additionally, the cut throughs
concerns are valid and usually speedbumps aren’t approved, especially in Minnesota. Brenna asked
staff about the 1.68‐acre parcel and the odds of an apartment complex being built. Staff added the
owners have been there for 10 years and have made no inquiries about rezoning but should there be
momentum, maybe a buyer would be interested in buying multiple properties. Brenna added that
City of Golden Valley Planning Commission Regular Meeting

she recommends R‐3 be approved with the caveat that extra remediations are done with Harold
traffic.
Commissioner Segelbaum acknowledged this topic has been addressed numerous times; he added
it’s a difficult issue for council. Most areas surrounding this parcel are R‐2, even though Rhode Island
is R‐1, it was built on as R‐2. This parcel should be at least R‐2 however it’s different from the
adjacent lots. It’s across the street from Brookview and it could support R‐3. It’s speculative to
consider BRT or assume that folks would walk to the downtown area. This area is heavily utilized and
the traffic is a concern but given the property’s proximity to Brookview and the long‐term goals, it
makes sense for this are to be re‐zoned R‐3. However, the residents here are saying they have no
intention of selling their home and they want to continue to live here. He added that he hopes
people continue to invest in their homes but if one day it becomes economically unfeasible, then
maybe that will lead to a redevelopment. Segelbaum added that he would like to see traffic calming
opportunities explored and if there are large pieces of information put together before, the
homeowners shouldn’t have to do that again.
Chair Pockl added she struggled with the decision last time It came before the Planning Commission.
There needs to be a balance between what would give Golden Valley a vibrant downtown and the
people directly impacted by this rezoning. The Comp Plan proposal to make this R‐3 was due to the
proximity to Downtown, the downtown study, and the ability to have BRT on 55. These reasons are
too hypothetical to support changing this zoning at this time.
Commissioner Ruby added that the traffic study says there won’t be a traffic concern so in the event
R‐3 is approved, there will be no other recourse to amend traffic or the road because this part of the
data has been collected. This is counter to what the residents are already saying is an issue.
Commissioner Ginis stated the concerns related to pedestrian safety are existing conditions. If the
concern is that highway 55 is too difficult to cross now and prevents folks from walking to the
downtown area that is a block away, that should be an issue City Council is fixing regardless of the
rezoning. If the Harold is a major cut through now and folks don’t feel safe, that should be remedied
regardless of the rezoning. Pedestrian safety is a concern but it’s not a concern related to the
rezoning. If the concern is some factors are too hypothetical, this will continue to come before the
group.
Staff chimed in that the traffic study at this stage is high level and reviews volume. Regardless of how
it’s zoned, there’s another layer of detail analysis that occurs when a development project is
proposed.
MOTION made by Commissioner Ginis, seconded by Commissioner Brenna, to recommend approval
of an amendment to the Zoning Map to rezone the ten properties in question from Single‐Family
Residential (R‐1) to Medium Density Residential (R‐3).
Commissioner Segelbaum commented that he encourages further study of traffic calming and to
forward information previously submitted by residents. Commissioner Ginis supported this
suggestion.

6. Discussion – TPT Video: Jim Crow of the North
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager, provided time for an informal discussion among
Commissioners regarding their recent viewing of the TPT documentary “Jim Crow of the North.”
General observations were that the racist actions of the past continue to have ripple effects today
and that while urban planning has always been intentional, it is clear that it has predominantly
benefited one group. It was noted that seeing data mapped was very powerful. Commissioners
agreed that issues of equity should be discussed when considering future applications, as
appropriate.

Summary of Request
Sentinel Management Company is proposing three planning actions to allow for the redevelopment
of two properties bounded by Golden Valley Road, Wisconsin Avenue North, and Golden Valley
Drive. They are requesting a change in the guided land use, a change in the zoning designation, and
a revised plat that modifies the sizes of the two existing parcels. The proposed project would result
in a 302-unit multifamily building wrapped around a 450 space parking ramp, as well as a new
single-story Wells Fargo branch bank.
Existing Conditions
8200 Golden Valley Road is a 2.74 acre property containing a single -story Wells Fargo bank with
five drive-thru lanes built in 1974. Access to the large 100-stall surface parking lot is currently
provided from the north and northeast, while the exit from the drive -thru lanes happens at Golden
Valley Drive to the south. A free-standing drive-up ATM is also located within the parking lot.
8240 Golden Valley Drive is a 1.06 acre property that has a 1966 single-story office building which
until a few years ago housed a Park Nicollet medical clinic. The building is currently vacant. It is
surrounded by approximately 65 parking stalls and has access to both Wisconsin Avenue and
Golden Valley Drive.
To the north of the site, the Wesley Commons townhomes line Golden Valley Road. To the west are
the three office buildings of the Valley Creek Office Park. To the south, All S trings Attached, the
Lighting Outlet Center, and the western portion of the Golden Valley Shopping Center provide a
buffer to Olson Memorial Highway.
The high point of the site is in the northwest corner and the topography generally drops in
elevation by approximately 10 feet moving to the south and east property lines.
The intersection of Wisconsin Ave and Golden Valley Road is controlled by a four-way stop. Golden
Valley Road is constructed with a center median that provides limited turning movements. G olden
Valley Drive is accessed from Golden Valley Road but does not continue through to Wisconsin due
to the close proximity of that previous access point to Hwy 55.
Proposal
The applicant has been working closely with City staff for over a year to develo p a site plan that
provides new housing within the downtown area while also downsizing the footprint of the existing
Wells Fargo branch.
Proposed plans show a 302-unit multifamily building that wraps around and conceals a five-story
parking ramp on the north half of the site, with wings that extend south and shelter an outdoor
amenity area facing Golden Valley Drive. The building would be five to six stories in height and the
ground level units would be walk-ups with direct individual access to the sidewalk encircling the
site. Access to the parking ramp would be on Golden Valley Road opposite an existing driveway into
the Wesley Common townhome development, and to the west on Wisconsin Avenue opposite the
existing entrance to the Valley Creek Office Park.
3
The smaller parcel in the southwest corner would contain a new one -story Wells Fargo branch
building with a surface parking lot and access from Wisconsin and a newly create cul -de-sac on
Golden Valley Drive. It would include a two-lane drive-thru to the east of the building.
Space would be provided for new off-street bicycle/pedestrian trails along the east side of
Wisconsin Ave and the south side of Golden Valley Road, consistent with the City’s Bicycle and
Pedestrian Plan and eventually connecting the Luce Line Regional Trail to the north with a future
Bus Rapid Transit station at Winnetka and Hwy 55.
A project narrative provided by the applicant is attached and describes the project in more detail.
Both properties are currently guided for Neighborhood Mixed Use on the Future Land Use Map in
the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan. This was a change from the Commercial designation in the
2030 Comp Plan, and the site is still zoned Commercial. In order to provide the density needed to
make the project feasible, the applicant is proposing to increase the intensity by amending the land
use to reflect a Community Mixed Use designation and rezoning the two parcels accordingly. A
modification to the internal shared property lines via a new plat would also be necessary to better
address the space needs of the two new buildings.
Consistent with the City’s Mixed-Income Housing Policy, the change in land use and zoning will
require that a minimum of 46 units within the building be preserved at the 60% AMI level for at
least 20 years. Details on the unit plans are forthcoming.
Staff will note, as in previous land use and zoning change requests, that while a current proposal is
being put forward, if the land use and zoning changes are approved they are not tied to this
developer or to this project and could change in the future. Even the proposed use could change
should this specific proposal not move forward.
Draft architectural and civil/site development plans have been provided by the applicant and are
attached, but staff emphasizes that the approvals for land use and zoning should be reviewed
independent of these, as those decisions are mostly unrelated to the proposed building.
Consideration of the minor subdivision in a subsequent staff memos will take the proposed site
plans into account more directly.
Neighborhood Notification and Public Comments
As required under the City’s Neighborhood Notification Policy, a neighborhood mailing was sent on
February 15. Information was also posted on the Golden Valley Speaks website. Staff will
summarize any comments and responses at the meeting on February 27.
Required Process
Support from the Planning Commission and City Council for this proposal would also necessitate
review and approval from the Metropolitan Council for the change in land use, requiring a brief
delay in the final vote on the rezoning and subdivision. Staff have confirmed this would be an
administrative review and approval by the Met Council, meaning a fairly quick turnaround.

Staff Review
The City Code does not set specific standards for changing a future land use designation, and the
City Council – with the input of the Planning Commission – has a great deal of latitude in deciding if
the request is consistent with the overall direction and vision of the Comprehensive Plan. In making
a determination, the City should take into account the land use descriptions outlined in the Comp
Plan as well as any potential impacts on the character of the area.
For reference, it is important to understand what both the existing and proposed land use s entail
and the expectations placed on those land uses in the Comprehensive Plan. The 2040 Comp Plan
has the following description of the Neighborhood Mixed Use designation:
This category includes a mix of uses including medium-density residential and neighborhood-
serving commercial, office, and institutional uses at a scale compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood they are intended to serve, which is typically a small, moderate, or medium scale.
These areas allow for both vertical and horizontal mixed use and does not require a mix of uses
within every building.
The Community Mixed Use designation is described as follows:
This category includes a mix of uses including high-density residential, commercial, office,
institutional, and light industrial uses that serve the local market area and support the
community. These areas include freestanding businesses, shopping areas, employment centers,
and housing that promotes community orientation and scale. Envisioned as compact urban
development areas that serve as a gateway to the city and as an activity center for the
community, these areas allow for both vertical and horizontal mixed use and do not require a
mix of uses within every building.
The medium-density range targeted by the Neighborhood Mixed Use designation is 8 to 30 units
per acre. Community Mixed Use targets a high-density range of 20 to 100 units per acre. At 3.8
acres, the site could theoretically accommodate up to 380 units.
The City’s Downtown Redevelopment Framework Plan recommended modifying the existing land
use map from the guided Neighborhood Mixed Use to Community Mixed Use, as it being proposed,
in order to support activity in the downtown with increased residential density.
Residential Demand
The City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan, with significant input from the 201 7 Maxfield Housing Needs
Analysis and its subsequent 2023 update, acknowledges a need for additional housing in Golden
Valley, especially for affordable units. As proposed, the development would address both of these
areas by providing 302 new units of housing – at least 46 of those would be made affordable at
60% AMI for a minimum of 20 years.
Traffic
Engineering staff have evaluated the likely traffic resulting from this proposed land use as part of
the Downtown Redevelopment Traffic Study conducted late in 2022. The purpose of this study was
to review the planning and policy work that the City has completed to evaluate the impact
5
proposed redevelopment sites may have to the traffic and operations on the surrounding street
network as well as identify any recommended mitigations to address the expected traffic demands.
The intersection at Wisconsin and Golden Valley Road was evaluated to determine if full
redevelopment of the downtown’s southwest quadrant would negatively impact the Level of
Service (LOS) at this location. While currently functioning at LOS A in both the AM and PM peak
hours, with full redevelopment of the Wells Fargo / Park Nicollet site as well as the Golden Valley
Shopping Center site, the modeled LOS for the AM peak hour would remain at LOS A while the PM
peak hour could slip to LOS B. A mini roundabout was examined for this location and could help
maintain the PM peak hour at LOS A if desired, saving approximately 5 seconds of delay per vehicle.
Context
The current land uses in proximity to the site are a complementary mix to the use being proposed.
Future Land Use Map – existing conditions
The site is surrounded to the north and east by medium density housing. To the south, the Golden
Valley Shopping Center and its outbuildings provide retail uses. Three professional office buildings
are located directly to the west. Institutional - Civic uses are within walking distance at the City Hall
Campus, and Brookview Park provides open space south of Olson Memorial Highway.
6
Other Community Mixed Use properties in Golden Valley are located adjacent to Hwy 55 and/or
Hwy 169 or else in the I-394 corridor. Reguiding this area would not be inconsistent with the
adopted land use pattern.
Finally, the height allowed for the use being proposed (six stories) is greater than the height
allowed for any surrounding uses, and two stories taller than the height allowed under the current
guided land use.
Comprehensive Plan Consistency
Finally, staff reviewed the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan to help determin e if this
proposed change in land use was following the intent of the City’s central guiding document. Based
on the application materials, staff found the following goals and policies to support the reguiding of
the site for Community Mixed Use.
Land Use
• Goal 1: Create a Complete Community – Strive for a diverse and balanced community that
contains a variety of residential areas, major employers, retail, service, institutions, and
parks and open spaces.
Objective 2.1 – Support the downtown area at Winnetka Ave and Hwy 55 and other
neighborhood commercial nodes.
Objective 4.2 – Incorporate new mixed use zoning, when possible, into development
plans.
• Goal 6: Support Opportunities for Multi-Modal Transportation – Integrate land use and
transportation planning principles to provide a balanced system of transportation
alternatives.
Objective 1.1 – Continue to create and enforce standards for building placement and
site design to create a pedestrian-friendly environment.
Objective 1.2 – Focus redevelopment efforts near high-frequency transit service, and
implement transit-oriented development policies in these areas.
Objective 2.1 – Improve the bicycle and pedestrian environment in the downtown area
to ensure it is a safe and enjoyable place to walk.
Objective 2.4 – Seek opportunities to provide a variety of housing options near high-
frequency transit service, along prominent routes within the bicycle network, and in
pedestrian-friendly areas of the city.
Housing
• Goal 3: Increase Housing Affordability – Increase housing opportunities at a cost that low-
and moderate-income households can afford without compromising their ability to pay for
other essential needs.
Objective 3 – Support the production of new, high-quality, affordable housing in the
City.
Staff Findings
In order to provide support for the recommendation below, staff is offering the following findings
of fact related to reguiding the proposed parcels to a Community Mixed Use designation:
7
1. The city’s downtown would benefit from the additional residential density allowed as a
result of the change in land use.
2. The city would benefit from the number of affordable units that would be required as a
result of the requested change in land use.
3. The proposed use of this site for high-density residential with a smaller commercial
component fits with a number of the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan .
4. The site is currently in an area with a variety of land use designations, complementing the
businesses and activities in the downtown.
5. Engineering staff have concluded that the amount of traffic generated by the use would be
able to be absorbed by the existing roadway infrastructure without a negative impact on
the Level of Service at Wisconsin Ave and Golden Valley Road.
6. A specific project has been proposed in association with the change in land use, but there is
no guarantee a different proposal would not emerge that would be allowed once a
Community Mixed Use designation was established. However, in general, any of the uses
allowed under this land use designation would be complementary and support the
downtown overall.
Recommended Action
Based on the findings above, staff recommends approval of the requested amendment to the
Future Land Use Map, changing the guided land use for 8200 Golden Valley Road and 8240 Golden
Valley Drive from Neighborhood Mixed Use to Community Mixed Use.

January 23, 202338200 GOLDEN VALLEY ROADGolden Valley, MNPROJECT NARRATIVEPRINCIPLES AND GUIDANCEThe key design objec! ve of this redevelopment is the transforma! on of a func! onally outdated suburban offi ce site with signifi cant surface parking into a 300-unit residen! al community and a 4,500 SF branch bank at this downtown Golden Valley loca! on. The project will downsize the current banking use into a smaller branch bank facility with two drive-through lanes instead of the current seven lanes. While the project is applying for a change in land use, the proposed development is consistent with the key goals of the Golden Valley Comprehensive Plan and the vision of the Downtown Redevelopment Framework Plan (October 2021). Guiding principles include:• The Comprehensive Plan designates this parcel as a mixed-use redevelopment site (page 2:20), recommending walk-up apartments on Golden Valley Road, commercial use oriented to the south and limited auto oriented uses. It also notes that an expanded right-of-way for future off -street bike lanes should be included. The project incorporates or plans for these func! ons in the proposed development.• The project supports the guiding principles of the Downtown Redevelopment Framework Plan (October 2021). These principles include strengthening downtown’s connec! vity to adjacent recrea! onal ameni! es, add new housing, improve circula! on for vehicles and weave together all quadrants of downtown with a more desirable walking and biking environment.• The Downtown Redevelopment Framework Plan supports changing the site’s designa! on from Mixed-Use Neighborhood to Mixed-Use Community. • Within the Mixed-Use Community (MU-C) zoning designa! on, the project is well below the height allowance of six stories (90 feet max). The setbacks conform to code and are designed to reinforce the street edge and provide an a% rac! ve pedestrian experience.• The Downtown Redevelopment Framework Plan recommends the following guidelines for the SW Quadrant (which the site is within) that the proposed project incorporates: o Land uses should be a mix of commercial and residen! al, including horizontal mixed use. o Residen! al use should be primarily oriented to Golden Valley Road and Wisconsin Avenue. o A new connec! on between Wisconsin Avenue and Golden Valley Road should be provided, with full access on Wisconsin Ave. o Golden Valley Road should be widened to accommodate street improvements, including an off -street walk/bike trail and planted boulevard. The project accommodates the space for these future improvements.KEY DESIGN FEATURES• Full integra! on of the buildings into the exis! ng streetscape infrastructure• The setback along Golden Valley Road is adjusted to accommodate future street improvements, including an off -street walk/bike trail and planted boulevards separa! ng this trail from the street.• A future off -street walk/bike trail will be accommodated along the east side of Wisconsin Avenue within an adjusted property line.• The bank and residen! al buildings will be set closer to the street edges and include enhanced landscaping in front yards to provide a more a% rac! ve pedestrian environment.• Walk up style units with sidewalks, front porches and entries will ground the building and facilitate an ac! ve streetscape environment.• Vehicle circula! on through the site relocates the entrance along Wisconsin Avenue opposite the curb cut on the west side of the street. Secondary access is located opposite Basse% Creek Boulevard as allowed per the street confi gura! on and comments from Public Works.• Almost all the vehicle parking will be concealed within an enclosed parking ramp with only a small, screened 29 space parking lot visible from the street. • The residen! al south facing amenity courtyard is on grade, allowing for generous landscaping with full sized trees since parking is not located beneath this space.• Stormwater deten! on and fi ltra! on will occur below grade and will greatly improve the current condi! on. o An off -street walk/bike trail should be added to the east side of Wisconsin Avenue. The project accommodates the space for this future improvement by giving 10’ of the property back to the public right of way. o Parking areas should be designed as a combina! on of smaller surface lots, rather than one large lot. The proposed surface parking area provides 29 parking spaces for mostly bank use. The primary parking for the residen! al project is in a fully enclosed parking structure that is wrapped with housing.• The project will meet the requirements of the city’s aff ordable housing policy.
January 23, 202348200 GOLDEN VALLEY ROADGolden Valley, MNPROJECT NARRATIVEPARKING STRATEGYThe primary vehicle parking for the residen! al building will be concealed within an above grade enclosed parking ramp that is “wrapped” with residen! al units on all sides. All required residen! al parking spaces will be in this facility. A small surface parking lot with approximately 29 spaces will serve the new branch bank as well and will include several spaces for prospec! ve residents and visitors. The main visitor parking spaces for the residen! al building will be located within the parking ramp. PROJECT DESCRIPTION• The proposed project consists of a fi ve and six-story market rate apartment building with approximately 302 dwelling units. The mul! family building wraps a fi ve-level parking structure on all sides, and two wings of the building embrace the south facing amenity courtyard.• The exis! ng Wells Fargo bank will relocate into a smaller branch bank facility of approximately 4,500 SF at the southwest corner of the site. Two drive up ATMs will be provided adjacent to the bank, and the bank will u! lize 23 surface parking spaces adja-cent to the bank entrance.• The residen! al building lobby is located adjacent to the parking lot with a vehicle drop off and six outdoor visitor parking spaces. The lobby and leasing spaces open directly to a full complement of interior ameni! es as well as the amenity courtyard. • Service func! ons such and move-in and trash pick-up will be located at a screened ser-vice bay at the east side of the site.• Ample dedicated bike parking will be provided within the building to support and encourage bicycling. • A number of electric vehicle parking spaces will be provided in the parking garage.BUILDING DESIGN• The building uses a design strategy of base-middle-top in a contemporary manner. The pale$ e consists of a limited number of materials and colors to provide a cohesive appearance. The base of the building largely uses masonry materials while lighter weight materials are used on the fl oors above. • The building has two heights, which helps break up the massing. The por! on that surrounds the parking ramp is fi ve stories in height, while the por! on that embraces the amenity courtyard to the south is six stories in height. • Almost all the units have balconies. The project uses a combina! on of recessed and protruding balconies. Many balcony stacks provide massing and material breaks in the building. • An eff ort has been made to conceal many of the mechanical grilles on balcony side walls, so they are not as prevalent on the street eleva! ons. • To ground the building, the fi rst-fl oor units are treated, where possible, as walk-up style units with front porches and sidewalks connec! ng to the public sidewalks. • Exterior materials include cast stone, metal panel, true three-coat cemen! ! ous stucco and painted fi ber cement paneling crea! ng an integrated pale$ e that will complement the intensive landscaping of the site.

The significant delays experienced on the side streets are comparable to the 2022 existing
conditions and are primarily attributed to the longer cycle lengths set by MnDOT along TH 55,
which prioritize vehicle throughput on the mainline. As development occurs in Area 5, it is
recommended that the accesses on Winnetka Avenue be removed, and all accesses be located
on Harold Avenue to minimize conflict and offer additional northbound storage room for queues.

5.5 Golden Valley Road at Wisconsin Avenue Intersection Analysis
5.5.1 Single Lane Roundabout
Although the intersection of Golden Valley Road at Wisconsin Avenue does not indicate existing
safety concerns or future operational issues with the redevelopment traffic demand, the City
requested a review of the operations of a roundabout at the intersection. The intersection
currently operates as an all-way stop controlled intersection. The roundabout-controlled
intersection could be implemented as a traffic calming strategy for the corridor, be a gateway
feature into the City’s downtown area, or alleviate any future safety or operational concerns.
The roundabout analysis was performed using the Highway Capacity Software (HCS7), which
implements the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) calculations. The all-way stop analysis was
also performed using HCS7 for a direct comparison between the control options. Table 16
summarizes the operations for the intersection under the existing all-way stop control and the
roundabout control. The two control types show similar operations during the AM peak period,
showing LOS A for the intersection and for all approaches with minimal queueing. During the PM
GOLDEN VALLEY DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT TRAFFIC STUDY GOLDV 166095
Page 37
peak hour, the roundabout control reduces the overall intersection delay by 5.3 seconds per
vehicle.
Figure 13 shows a concept level drawing of a single-lane roundabout with a 120 ft diameter and
truck apron. Not including right-of-way, the construction cost estimate for this concept is $1.2-
$1.6 million.

5.5.2 Mini Roundabout
Currently, there is not a standard traffic operations analysis tool to evaluate a mini roundabout;
there are only guidelines for the expected operational capacity of the intersection. A mini
roundabout is expected to have less capacity than any single-lane roundabout examined in this
section. FHWA guidance suggests a total entering demand for a mini roundabout to be less than
1,600 vehicles per hour. The 2042 full build volumes estimate a volume demand less than 500
vehicles per hour during the AM peak hour and less 700 vehicles per hour during the PM peak
hour. Therefore, a mini roundabout is expected to operate acceptably at this intersection.
An example of a functioning mini roundabout in the City of New Prague, Minnesota is shown
below.
Mini roundabout on Main Street in New Prague, Minnesota
GOLDEN VALLEY DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT TRAFFIC STUDY GOLDV 166095
Page 38
Figure 14 shows a concept level drawing of a mini roundabout at the Wisconsin Avenue and
Golden Valley Road intersection with an 85 ft diameter and mountable median. Not including
righto-of-way, the construction cost estimate for this concept is $0.6-$1.0 million. The mini
roundabout is expected to have significantly less impact to right-of-way at the corners compared
to the single-lane roundabout.
A signal-controlled intersection was not analyzed at this intersection since it was assumed that
the estimated build volumes would not meet signal warrants and since the existing and
roundabout-controlled scenarios perform acceptably.

Community Development Department
Date: February 27, 2023
To: Golden Valley Planning Commission
From: Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Subject: Informal Public Hearing – Zoning Map Amendment for 8200 Golden Valley Road and
8240 Golden Valley Drive
Summary of Request
Sentinel Management Company is proposing three planning actions to allow for the redevelopment
of two properties bounded by Golden Valley Road, Wisconsin Avenue North, and Golden Valley
Drive. They are requesting a change in the guided land use, a change in the zoning designation, and
a revised plat that modifies the sizes of the two existing parcels. The proposed project would result
in a 302-unit multifamily building wrapped around a 450 space parking ramp, as well as a new
single-story Wells Fargo branch bank.
Existing Conditions
For details on the background of this rezoning request and the existing conditions of the site itself,
please refer to the accompanying memo on the proposed change in guided land use.
Proposal
The zoning request would change the designated zoning from Commercial to Community Mixed
Use (MU-C).
Required Process
Support from the Planning Commission and City Council for this proposal would also necessitate
review and approval from the Metropolitan Council for the change in land use, requiring a brief
delay in the final vote on the rezoning and subdivision. Staff have confirmed this would be an
administrative review and approval by the Met Council, meaning a fairly quick turnaround.
Staff Review
The City Code does not set specific standards for changing a zoning designation, and the City
Council – with the input of the Planning Commission – has a great deal of latitude in deciding if the
request is consistent with the broader zoning map for the city. In making a determination, the C ity
should take into account the purpose of zoning as outlined in the City code, which is “to regulate
land use within the City, including the location, size, use, and height of buildings, the arrangement
2
of buildings on lots, and the density of population within the City for the purpose of promoting the
health, safety, order, convenience, and general welfare of all citizens of the City.” (Sec. 113 -2)
The rezoning request seeks to change the site’s zoning from Commercial to Community Mixed Use
(MU-C). The purpose statements for both districts follow:
Commercial Zoning
The purpose of the Commercial Zoning District is to provide for the establishment of
commercial and service activities which draw from and serve customers in the community
and are located in areas which are well served by collector and arterial streets. The district
and its regulations should encourage business activity and vitality in support of the City's
Economic Competitiveness goals and policies.
Mixed Use Zoning
The purpose of the Mixed Use Zoning District is to implement the following principles:
(1) Implement the policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
(2) Enable appropriate locations within the City to evolve towards a diverse mix of
compatible uses.
(3) Maximize integration rather than separation of uses.
(4) Improve connectivity for all modes of transportation.
(5) Provide a context suitable for high-frequency transit.
(6) Foster neighborhood-serving retail and service uses.
The district includes specific standards for building form, height, bulk, and placement in
order to encourage development that enhances walkability, frames the public realm, and
seamlessly transitions to adjacent development.
The Community Mixed Use subdistrict is further defined as follows:
This subdistrict allows a mix of uses including high-density residential and commercial,
office, and institutional uses. Properties zoned for Community Mixed Use typically sit
adjacent to State Highways or Interstates and are accessible through frequent transit
service. Target markets encompass the surrounding neighborhoods, the broader
community, and even the wider region. The built environment could include freestanding
businesses, shopping areas, employment centers, and apartment buildings. Envisioned as
compact urban development areas that serve as gateways to the city and as activity centers
for the community, they allow for both vertical and horizontal mixed use and do not require
a mix of uses within every building.
Allowed Uses
The Commercial district allows a wide variety of retail, service, care, office, and automotive uses
while generally prohibiting manufacturing and other warehouse uses. Many of these are permitted
– or by-right – while other require a conditional use permit.

The Community Mixed Use district also allows most commercial uses (with some restrictions, such
as prohibiting gasoline sales or auto repair), while also expanding the range of options to include
dense residential developments and institutional uses. Community Mixed Use targets a high-
density range of 20 to 100 units per acre. At 3.8 acres, the site could theoretically accommodate up
to 380 units.
The City’s Downtown Redevelopment Framework Plan recommended modifying the existing zoning
map from Commercial to Community Mixed Use, as it being proposed, in order to support activity
in the downtown with increased residential density.
Traffic
As described in the land use memo, traffic associated with the proposed zoning can be
accommodated by the existing infrastructure.
Context
The current zoning in proximity to the site is a complementary mix to the zoning being proposed.
Zoning Map – existing conditions
The site is surrounded to the north and east by Medium Density Residential (R-3) housing. To the
south, the Golden Valley Shopping Center and its outbuildings are zoned Commercial and provide
retail uses. Three professional office buildings are located directly to the west (zoned Office).
4
Institutional - Civic uses are within walking distance at the City Hall Campus, and Brookview Park
provides open space (Institutional - Parks & Natural Areas) south of Olson Memorial Highway.
Other properties zoned Community Mixed Use in Golden Valley are located adjacent to Hwy 55
and/or Hwy 169 or else in the I-394 corridor. Rezoning this area would not be inconsistent with the
existing pattern of zoning.
Setback Requirements and Height Requirements. In Mixed Use zoning districts, setbacks have been
designed to push buildings closer to the street, providing an enhanced pedestrian environment and
requiring parking lots be screened or located out of sight. Community Mixed Use buildings are
allowed to be constructed to six stories or 90 ninety feet, with stepbacks on the upper three stories
if adjacent rights-of-way are less than 70 feet wide. This is two stories taller than what would be
allowed in a Neighborhood Mixed Use subdistrict.
Staff Findings
In order to provide support for the recommendation below, staff is offering the following findings
of fact related to rezoning the proposed parcels to a Community Mixed Use designation:
1. The city’s downtown would benefit from the additional residential density allowed as a
result of the change in zoning.
2. The city would benefit from the number of affordable units that would be required as a
result of the requested change in zoning.
3. The proposed use of this site for high-density residential with a smaller commercial
component fits with a number of the Guiding Principles and Design Guidelines from the
Phase III Downtown Study final report.
4. The site is currently in an area with a variety of zoning designations, complementing the
businesses and activities in the downtown.
5. Engineering staff have concluded that the amount of traffic generated from the zoning
district would be able to be absorbed by the existing roadway infrastructure without a
negative impact on the Level of Service at Wisconsin Ave and Golden Valley Road.
6. A specific project has been proposed in association with the change in zoning, but there is
no guarantee a different proposal would not emerge that would be allowed once a
Community Mixed Use designation was established. However, in general, any of the uses
allowed under this zoning designation would be complementary and support the downtown
overall.
Recommended Action
Based on the findings above, staff recommends approval of the requested amendment to the
Zoning Map, changing the zoning for 8200 Golden Valley Road and 8240 Golden Valley Drive from
Commercial to Community Mixed Use (MU-C).

Community Development Department
Date: February 27, 2023
To: Golden Valley Planning Commission
From: Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Subject: Informal Public Hearing – Preliminary Plan for 8200 Golden Valley Road and 8240
Golden Valley Drive
Summary of Request
Sentinel Management Company is proposing three planning actions to allow for the redevelopment
of two properties bounded by Golden Valley Road, Wisconsin Avenue North, and Golden Valley
Drive. They are requesting a change in the guided land use, a change in the zoning designation, and
a revised plat that modifies the sizes of the two existing parcels. The proposed project would result
in a 302-unit multifamily building wrapped around a 450 space parking ramp, as well as a new
single-story Wells Fargo branch bank.
Existing Conditions
For details on the background of this subdivision request and the existing conditions of the site
itself, please refer to the accompanying memo on the proposed change in guided land use.
Proposal
The proposed platting action would modify the existing internal property lines of the two parcels
and also expand the area slightly by incorporating a portion of ROW within Golden Valley Drive that
would be vacated by the City. Adjustments to accommodate a cul-de-sac at the end of Golden
Valley Drive are also planned.
Required Process
Support from the Planning Commission and City Council for this proposal would also necessitate
review and approval from the Metropolitan Council for the change in land use, requiring a brief
delay in the final vote on the rezoning and subdivision. Staff have confirmed this would be an
administrative review and approval by the Met Council, meaning a fairly quick turnaround.
Staff Review
Lot Requirements
Unlike other zoning districts, the City’s Mixed Use subdistricts have no minimum lot size or lot
width requirements. Therefore, the two parcels being modified meet the platting standards and
2
are found to be acceptable. All yard setbacks and building height limits are addressed through the
zoning regulations and are evaluated at the time of site plan review.
Staff worked with the applicant to reserve sufficient space for drainage and utility easements along
the perimeter of the site to accommodate existing and future utilities along Golden Valley Road
and Golden Valley Drive. Land along both Golden Valley Road and Wisconsin Avenue is being
dedicated as right-of-way in order to provide space for future off-street bicycle and pedestrian
trails. These accommodations will help the City realize the routes in its approved Bicycle and
Pedestrian Plan.
Additional Department Review
Engineering staff have reviewed the preliminary plat and have offered the following comments:
• The applicant must update the cul-de-sac design on Golden Valley Drive based on concepts
and comments provide January 23, 2023. This may also require dedication of additional right-
of-way to accommodate the design.
• Staff need to evaluate the intersection of Golden Valley Road and Wisconsin Avenue to
determine if any additional right-of-way is needed for a potential future mini-roundabout, or if
any additional land must be dedicated for easements for a trail. Adjustments to the plat may
be necessary.
The Fire Department has reviewed the application and has no comments or concerns.
Qualification Governing Approval of a Minor Platting Action
According to Section 109-121 of the City’s Platting Regulations, the following govern approval of
minor platting actions with staff comments related to this request:
Factor/Finding
1. A minor platting action shall be denied if the proposed lots do not meet the minimum area
and dimensional requirements for the Zoning District in which they are located, or if vehicular
access is not provided from an abutting improved street.
Standard met. The revised lots would continue to meet the standards of the Mixed Use Zoning
District. Vehicular access to both lots is provided from multiple improved streets.
2. A minor platting action may be denied upon the City’s determination that a resulting new
lot is encumbered by steep slopes or excessive wetness.
Standard met. There are no steep slopes or excessive wetness present that would encumber
the lots.
3. A minor platting action may be denied if sewer and water connections are not directly
accessible by each proposed lot.
3
Standard met. Established sewer and water connections exist. Modifications to accommodate
future redevelopment are anticipated, but would not require public investment.
4. Approval shall be conditioned on the granting of easements for necessary public purposes.
Standard conditionally met. New drainage and utility easements have been proposed as a part
of the preliminary plat. Final adjustments may be necessary in order to accommodate the
required cul-de-sac or the future mini roundabout. These must be included on the final plat.
5. Approval may be conditioned on the requirements of outside public agencies with
jurisdiction.
Not applicable.
6. Approval shall be conditioned on the resolution of any title issues raised by the City
Attorney.
Standard conditionally met. The City Attorney will determine if such a title review is necessary
prior to approval of the final plat.
7. Minor platting actions of nonresidential parcels may be denied if new development will
cause undo strain on adjacent roads or on public utilities or will adversely affect adjacent
uses.
Standard met. Engineering staff have determined that traffic and public utility usage generated
by the proposed development on the two lots can be accommodated and would not cause
strain on adjacent roads or adversely affect adjacent uses.
8. Approval shall be conditioned on the payment of a park dedication fee, sewer and water
access charge, and pending or levied deferred assessments.
Standard conditionally met. A park dedication fee of 6% of the land value shall be required prior
to the release of the final plat. City SAC and WAC fees for proposed redevelopment will be
determined in conjunction with the Metropolitan Council and included as part of any building
permit fees. There are no pending or levied deferred assessments.
9. The conditions spelled out shall provide the only basis for denial of a minor platting action.
Approval will be granted to any application that meets the established conditions.

2022 Overview
In 2022, the Golden Valley Planning Commission worked closely with staff to review proposals for
private development as well as to develop new zoning regulations that expanded the variety of
housing types available to residents. Other language in the Zoning Chapter was amended in an effort
to continue to modernize the City Code and improve accessibility for the public.
The Commission provided review for major amendments to three existing Planned Unit
Developments (PUDs) – Meadowbrook Elementary, Central Park West, and the McDonald’s on
Winnetka Avenue. Two new conditional use permits were approved – one for a credit union and the
other for a Tesla dealership – and a proposed amendment to a third conditional use permit was
denied. The Commission recommended approval of a residential subdivision and a lot combination
that involved vacated City right‐of‐way. Finally, rules authorizing a new outdoor service area use were
drafted that allowed Schuller’s Tavern to obtain a permit to establish a seasonal outdoor patio.
A small number of rezonings and land use changes were completed as the alignment of the zoning
map with the future land use map in the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan was realized. Zoning text
amendments were researched and advanced to the City Council for consideration, including revisions
to the regulations and permitting processes around mobile vending and improved requirements for
screening and outdoor storage. The Commission spent a considerable amount of time carefully
developing new zoning language that would allow Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) to be constructed
while drafting restrictions that would limit potential impacts to adjacent properties. The Commission
also began the investigation of needed updates to the off‐street parking section of code.
In 2023, the Commission will look to complete its work on off‐street parking and recommend new
language for the City Council to consider. Other agenda items include modernizing the
telecommunication rules for small cell antennas, changing how site plan review is carried out for
development projects, and proposing improvements to the public amenity point system for Planned
Unit Developments. Staff will continue to conduct education and training for Commissioners around
racial equity in planning and zoning in coordination with the state planning chapter.

Purpose, Mission, And Prescribed Duties
The Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) hears requests for variances from the requirements of the Zoning
Code, which is Chapter 113 of the Golden Valley City Code. The BZA consists of five members that
meet once a month if there are any petitions pending for action. A Planning Commissioner serves as
the fifth member of the BZA.
Criteria for Analysis
A variance may be granted when the petitioner for the variance establishes that there are practical
difficulties in complying with this Chapter. “Practical difficulties,” as used in connection with the
granting of a variance, means:
the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by
this Chapter
the plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created
by the property owner
the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality
Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Practical difficulties include,
but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. The BZA may not
grant a variance that would allow any use not allowed for property in the Zoning District where the
affected person’s land is located. The BZA may impose conditions in the granting of variances. A
condition must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by
the variance.

Purpose, Mission, And Prescribed Duties
The Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) hears requests for variances from the requirements of the Zoning
Code, which is Chapter 113 of the Golden Valley City Code. The BZA consists of five members that
meet once a month if there are any petitions pending for action. A Planning Commissioner serves as
the fifth member of the BZA.
Criteria for Analysis
A variance may be granted when the petitioner for the variance establishes that there are practical
difficulties in complying with this Chapter. “Practical difficulties,” as used in connection with the
granting of a variance, means:
the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by
this Chapter
the plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created
by the property owner
the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality
Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Practical difficulties include,
but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. The BZA may not
grant a variance that would allow any use not allowed for property in the Zoning District where the
affected person’s land is located. The BZA may impose conditions in the granting of variances. A
condition must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by
the variance.
