SPECIAL HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
March 8, 2011
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a special meeting of the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Hennepin County, Minnesota, was
held at 7800 Golden Valley Road in said City on March 8, 2011 at 6:30 pm, in the Council

Director Thomas Burt, Assistant HRA Director Jeanne Andre, Finance Director Sue Virnig,
and City Planner Joe Hogeboom.
Housing Task Force � N.
Chair Pentel opened the meeting with a brief description of a plan to create la short term
Housing Task Force. The Housing Task Force would involve citizens advising the-HRA on
ways to meet the City's life-cycle housing needs as identified in the Comprehensive Plan.
Pentel presented the Commissioners with a handout listing some ideas about theTask
Force. Pentel indicated that a Housing Task Force could assist the Council when rezoning
to match the Comprehensive Plan, by identifying future housing needs. The Task Force
could present its findings to the HRA and Council and providefor input from a spectrum of
citizens.
Commissioner Loomis asked how the Housing Task Forces would blend with the City
Council's request for a neighborhood discussion in those housing areas impacted by the
proposed rezoning.
stated there would still bed need for public outreach and a Public Hearing related to
fl
the rezoning. She recommended°that the Task Force give input to the HRA prior to the City
Council Public Hearings.
Freiberg asked if the purpose of the Task Force would be to consider whether or not areas
should be rezoned to match the Comprehensive Plan.
Loomis stated her concern withat the Task Force recommendations would not take into
account traffic studies theuncil has directed staff to undertake prior to the rezoning
hearings.
kAtkr
HRA Director Thomas Burt stated staff had been directed to do a traffic study at the area
along Winnetka north of Harold and south of Highway 55, but staff had not been directed to
do any traffic studies of the other areas being considered for rezoning.
Freiberg asked if there was a deadline for the Zoning Code to be in compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan and Burt responded that the process should be completed by early
fall.
Shaffer stated that if a Housing Task Force is to be created, one of its goals should be to
suggest ways the City could meet the Metropolitan Council's density guidelines.

Loomis stated her concern that a Housing Task Force might delay the direction the City
Council had already given to staff to have neighborhood discussions about the proposed
rezoning. She suggested that a moratorium be placed on some of the properties until after
neighborhood discussions. Burt stated the HRA could advise the City Council to consider
placing a moratorium on rezoning while studying the appropriate density. Pentel stated she
was opposed to a moratorium and doesn't want the consideration Of the Housing Task
Force to be a deterrent to new development or business in the City.
Freiberg made a motion to direct staff to put the motion for creating a Housing Task Force
on the agenda for the April HRA meeting for further discu.ssson, seconded by Shaffer and
motion carried.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:03 pm.

6. Housing Task Force
Prepared By
Jeanne Andre, Assistant Director
Summary
At a Special HRA Meeting on March 8 the Commissioners discussed the idea of establishing
a housing task force. Two major issues that arose during the discussion are intertwined.
The first involves the benefits that would accrue from such a task force and concerns about
its creation, mission and timeline. In other words, whether or not to establish the task force.
The second issue is how the work and schedule of such a task force, if created, would relate
to rezonings currently under discussion by the City Council. Discussion of the process to
consider the proposed rezoning is on an upcoming Council/Manager Meeting Agenda.
It appears that the HRA should first determine if it wants to establish a Housing Task Force. If
this question is decided affirmatively, the HRA should determine if the schedule and work of
the task force should be in some way integrated with the proposed schedule for consideration
of rezonings needed to conform to the Comp Plan. City staff has recommended that the
rezoning process be completed by the end of the summer.
The HRA could expedite its Task Force schedule to coincide with the Council's schedule for
rezoning, it could ask the City Council to slow the rezoning process to coincide with the
schedule established for the Task Force, or each could proceed independently.
Recommended Action
Direct staff on whether to draft a resolution establishing a Housing Task Force and whether to
seek to coordinate the schedule of such a task force with rezonings under consideration by
the City Council.

7. 1-394 Corridor Redevelopment Area Plan
Prepared By
Jeanne Andre, Assistant Director
Summary
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) held a hearing on the proposed 1-394
Corridor Redevelopment Area Plan on January 11, 2010. After the public hearing the
Commissioners recommended a number of changes to the Plan, so final consideration was
delayed to allow staff to make the requested changes to the Plan.
Since the HRA discussion last year developments related to the 3.9.4 project have caused
staff to reconsider parts of the Plan related to the East Area. If access and sewer issues
related to the development of the Minnesota Department of Transportation parcel at 1-394
and Truck Highway 100 cannot be worked out, staff may recommend reconsidering land use
proposed for this area. Staff recommends restarting the consideration of the 1-394 Corridor
Redevelopment Area Plan when information on access and sewer options necessary for
various land uses is available.
Recommended Action
Affirm the staff recommendation not to consider the 1-394 Corridor Redevelopment Area Plan
at this time and to restart the process in the future.
