Summary
In advance of work on the Housing Chapter of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, Golden Valley hired
Maxfield Research and Consulting to conduct a Comprehensive Housing Market Study. This study
has examined demographic and economic factors, looked at current housing market conditions,
and has determined the market potential for developing additional housing products. The final
report will provide detailed recommendations (number of units/lots; unit mix and sizes;
price/rent; housing features and amenities, etc.) for the housing types identified as being needed
in the short-and long-term.
Matt Mullins, Vice President of Maxfield,will attend the meeting to share the study's preliminary
findings with the City Council and to help set the stage for the second agenda item on mixed-
income housing policies and tools.

2. Presentation by Grounded Solutions Network- Mixed-Income Housing Policy and Tools
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer
Summary
The City of Golden Valley is one of three recipients of free technical assistance from the Urban
Land Institute of Minnesota's Regional Council of Mayors and the Family Housing Fund. The
assistance includes research on mixed-income housing policies and financial tools. Mixed income
housing development is the term often used to describe apartments or condominiums that
include a portion of units available only to families or individuals earning low to moderate
incomes. Mixed-income developments have many community benefits when compared to
developments that are entirely market-rate or entirely affordable. The Urban Land Institute has
recognized the difficulty in building mixed-income housing, so this technical assistance is part of a
larger effort:the Minneapolis-St. Paul Regional Mixed-Income Housing Feasibility Education and
Action Project.
Grounded Solutions Network is a national nonprofit organization that was selected to conduct
research and collaborate with City staff to identify strategies that could be considered for
adoption in the Comprehensive Plan. As part of this technical assistance, Grounded Solutions has
prepared a presentation that introduces a range of mixed-income housing policies and financial
tools for consideration by the City. The presentation reviews such concepts as mandatory mixed
income housing policy, mixed income housing linked to zoning changes, public subsidy policy,
affordability expectations in PUDs, mixed income housing zoning incentives (e.g., density
bonuses, parking minimum reductions, and building setback reductions), financial incentives (e.g.
tax abatements, development fee waivers or reductions, and public improvement cost
reductions), and affordable housing land trusts.
This technical assistance to the City will culminate in a report analyzing the appropriateness of
tools such as these for the City of Golden Valley. Based on discussion with City Council, some
policies may be selected for further assessment and presented to Planning Commission and City
Council in April 2017 for continued discussion during Comprehensive Plan conversations.

Agenda Item
3. Teen Committee
Prepared By
John W. Stutzman CPRP, Recreation Supervisor
Rick Birno CPRP, Parks & Recreation Director
Summary
At the October 13, 2016 Council/Manager meeting, staff inet with the City Council to discuss the
present state of the Teen Committee and initiate a discussion regarding more extensive youth
involvement and representation in the political process in Golden Valley. After reviewing the
challenges facing the current Teen Committee and exploring alternative options,the City Council
directed staff to research the feasibility of youth residents' participation on city committees and
commissions and inquire with surrounding municipalities as to what systems currently exist for
teens to become involved with the political process. Staff contacted 24 communities from around
the state asking questions to determine current practices of youth involvement in local
government. Twenty responses were received and recorded (summary attached).
Of the communities contacted only the City of Waseca has an active youth advisory committee.
The City of Plymouth noted it had implemented a similar model to the Golden Valley Teen
Committee however it was cancelled two years ago due to lack of participation. Nine of the
twenty communities contacted have youth representation on current commissions as noted in
the attached summary.
Based on the data collected from other communities, staff recommends the discontinuation of
the Golden Valley Teen Committee and in its place implement one voting youth representative
on the Open Space & Recreation Commission, Environmental Commission and the Human
Services Fund.
The Human Rights Commission currently has two youth voting members and staff recommends
this continues.
Additionally, staff recommends that one non-voting (ex-officio)youth representative be
appointed to the Planning Commission and the Board of Zoning Appeals.
Potential youth representatives would be required to live or attend school in Golden Valley, be in
grades 9- 12 and serve one year terms with a second year automatically approved if the youth
representative would like to serve a second year. Youth representatives would apply and be
interviewed for appointment similar to the process for all potential commission members.
Staff recognizes that new and unique marketing tools may be needed to communicate the new
commission opportunities for youth in Golden Valley and that additional public government
education opportunities may be included for youth participants.
