Executive Summary Golden Valley Council/Manager Meeting March 13, 2018 Agenda Item 2. Golden Valley Fire Relief Association By-Law Amendment Prepared By Sue Virnig, Finance Director John Crelly, Fire Chief Summary In February, 2017 the Fire Relief Association made the request for the City to approve an increase in their pension amount from $7,750 to $8,000. Much discussion was held on the timing of the requests before council. The Council did approve the increase in February 2017 and also directed staff to work with the Fire Relief Association streamlining this process increase in the future. Since that time, staff has worked with the fire relief association on the following: • Set their internal policies so that the funding level (assets over liabilities) has to be at least 120% to make a request before council. This percentage allows less volatility with the markets and less likely for a municipal contribution (levy) when an increase is approved to the yearly pension. • Change timing to review in March instead of December/January with their members. This would allow the audit to be completed and the use of actual numbers instead of estimates for the funding level. • All requests for increases will need to be approved by Council before an increase is effective. If the benefit is increased without ratification and a municipal contribution should subsequently become required, the benefit level is no longer effective without ratification and any future benefits can only be paid using the ratified benefit level (the relief association must drop its benefit level to the last ratified level). Dominique Guzman, President of the Fire Relief Association, will be in attendance at this meeting. Staff was at the meeting when the Fire Relief approved the items and feels confident in recommending the increase from $8,000 to $8,300. This increase would lower the funding level to an estimated 126%. If directed by council, this item will be on the March 20 Council Meeting for consideration.

City-Owned Vacant Parcels Prepared By Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer Summary Staff has identified eight City-owned vacant parcels that are currently underutilized. An attached map and summary table provides general information about each parcel. The table also includes staff’s recommended land use designation in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and Zoning designation for each parcel. The update to the Comprehensive Plan provides an opportunity to guide these properties for a higher and better use. Staff first considered whether parks, open space, or natural areas would be appropriate. None of the parcels have been planned as nature area or open space in the Natural Resources Management Plan (adopted in 2015) or the Parks Plan (recently updated by the Open Space and Recreation Commission in 2017 for the 2040 Comp Plan) since they are generally small, sporadic pieces of land with few (if any) unique environmental qualities to preserve. Since all of the parcels are located in single-family residential neighborhoods, staff recommends that they be guided for residential use in the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is expected to be adopted later in 2018. The parcels would then be zoned for residential use in 2019. Staff is recommending that six of the eight parcels be guided for R-1 Low Density Residential development. The two remaining parcels could be appropriate for R-2 or R-3 densities. Staff is seeking feedback from the Council on an appropriate density for these parcels, the preferred process for their development (if at all), and whether special neighborhood meetings should be conducted prior to the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. 2415 Douglas Drive A single-family home was located on this property prior to the reconstruction of Douglas Drive. The City acquired the property during that process at the request of the property owner. At that time, the City assumed that the land could be used as a parking lot for Sandburg Athletic Facility since there were parking issues in the area. Since then, the parking problem has been addressed. The significant capital investment required for the construction of a parking lot is probably no longer warranted, especially if a lot can be built in the future utilizing land already within the boundaries of the Sandburg Athletic Facility. A developer that specializes in transitional residential facilities has approached the City. Their facilities provide housing with services for those recovering from major surgeries or undergoing long-term, in-home medical care. The developer owns the property to the north (2429 Douglas Drive) and would like to build a two-phase development if the City is willing to sell the parcel. The Planning Commission supports R-2 Moderate Density Residential for this parcel and it is shown that way on the Draft 2040 Future Land Use Plan (see attached). Staff would like direction from Council on the future of this lot. 300 Turners Crossroad This property was formerly known as Blazer Park along the historic Lilac Way (now Highway 100). Park structures were removed many years ago. It is staff’s understanding that discussions about the future of this property took place with the Open Space and Recreation Commission several years ago with the past Parks Director. It was not specifically discussed with the Commission during the update to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. This is a large parcel that could accommodate several new homes if it is determined that a park use is not desired. The number of homes that could fit would depend on whether it was guided for R-1, R-2, or R-3, and whether the City would find it appropriate to approve a PUD to accommodate a unique lot configuration. Staff suggests that if a PUD is utilized for housing development that 100% of the units be made affordable to families earning 60% Area Median Income or less. This can be achieved by partnering with a developer that specializes in this type of work, such as Habitat for Humanity. This parcel could also be appropriate for senior housing options. Staff would like direction from Council on the appropriate use and density for this parcel and the preferred process for development and community engagement. 208 Meander Road This property is Hennepin County Tax-Forfeited Land that is zoned for I-4 Institutional use (which allows parks, playgrounds, city offices, golf courses, child day care, and adult day care). It is surrounded by single-family homes. The Canadian-Pacific railway runs along the rear yard of the property (east side). A variance to the front and/or rear yard setback would be necessary for it to be buildable in a practical way. Staff would like direction from Council on whether to reguide and rezone this from I-4 Institutional to R-1 Residential and the preferred process for development (if at all).

Implementation of 2040 Comprehensive Plan Prepared By Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer Summary With the first drafts of each of the Comprehensive Plan chapters complete, staff has assembled a consolidated list of all of the Implementation Actions proposed in the plan. As the chapters were being written, the action items around each topic were compiled separately; this is the first time they have been combined into a master list. The list is impressive in its breadth and ambition, and it begins to suggest a future work plan for staff and the elements of future Capital Improvement Programs (CIPs). The attached list of actions has been sorted by estimated timeframe. Ongoing items are expected to continue throughout the 20 year planning horizon of the document. Short-term items are expected to be addressed within the first five years. Medium-term items would be addressed between years five and 10, while long-term items would likely wait until after year 10 to be initiated. While the timing of these actions is not fixed and the initiation of any individual item could be adjusted depending on conditions and budget, it does provide a general guide to prioritization and the necessary staging of related actions. Staff is recommending a five year check-in on the progress of completion for all Implementation Actions, which would allow for adjustments. A secondary ordering of the list by relative cost provides additional information to the City Council when it considers budgeting. One dollar sign ($) is meant to indicate action taken by staff without needing to incur additional expenses—tasks such as conducting research, developing policy, or working with other agencies. Two dollar signs ($$) suggests that the action would require additional investment for training, materials, or outside expertise, such as working with a traffic engineer or other consultant. Three dollar signs ($$$) are imagined to be a capital improvement item which would be included in the CIP. Examining the list as a whole, three things stand out. First, looking at the distribution of actions across the various chapter topics of the plan, it should be noted that areas in which the City has had a long standing interest (land use, transportation, parks), there are relatively fewer tasks, while for those topics that are new or in which the City has historically invested less time (sustainability, housing) there are more items on the list. Second, there are a significant number of actions included in the ongoing category and those targeted for completion within the first five years. Given the large number of actions that could be initiated in the short term, the Council may wish to shift some to the medium term or at least to identify those areas of highest priority for attention in the short term. Third, upon reading the consolidated list, it is more evident that there are a fair number of Implementation Actions that are linked to education of the public around various topics. While some basic education has been and will continue to be carried out by staff through cable segments, website posts, and newsletter articles, the number and intensity of the initiatives included as Implementation Actions highlights the need for the City to increasingly turn to partnerships with other agencies and outside experts to both disseminate messages and to provide the resources to reach the public effectively. Staff welcomes feedback from the Council on specific items or on the list as a whole as it has been conceptualized.

Agenda Item 3. c. Downtown Golden Valley Planning Study Prepared By Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer Summary Through the Comprehensive Plan process, the 2040 Future Land Use Plan identifies Downtown Golden Valley as one of four Planning Districts for population growth and redevelopment. The geographic boundaries of this Planning District are shown on the attached map. Staff has identified the need to do additional planning in this area as part of the Comprehensive Plan process. Staff recommends that further study be completed in three short phases. The first is to collect more data about the existing conditions of the area in order to conduct an analysis of issues to resolve and opportunities to pursue. Phase I - Data Collection and Issue/Opportunity Assessment This phase can be completed by City staff in spring and early summer of 2018. Staff will gather data on the age, condition, and general features of each building in this area. A description of the types of businesses in the area will be provided as well as whether there are any building vacancies. It may also be helpful to track property values, particularly the difference between land and building values. The existing and planned bicycle, pedestrian, roadway, and transit facilities within the study boundary will also be summarized. Staff will use this and other data to assess whether there are opportunity sites or projects that can help the City realize its vision for the Downtown area. A vision statement has not yet been created for this area, but the vision will most likely focus on commerce, community gathering, historical and authentic charm, walkable, bikeable, and friendly for all ages. Staff will also assess whether there are outstanding issues within the area that may act as a barrier to realizing this vision for the area. Phase II - Gain Insight on Market Realities from Experts This phase would best be completed by partnering with the Urban Land Institute, who provide the opportunity for public sector leaders to collaborate and learn from leaders in the private sector. ULI’s Advisory Services program provides strategies that can position a city government to attract the highest quality redevelopment projects. Golden Valley completed the introductory workshop, called Navigating your Competitive Future (NCF), in 2012 and 2017. Experts in commercial real estate, residential real estate, real estate finance, and city planning suggested that the City find ways to capitalize on existing assets in the Downtown area and aim for authenticity and uniqueness in its planning efforts for the area. Staff is recommending that the Golden Valley City Council, Planning Commission, and City leadership participate in a more in-depth workshop on this topic in the form of a Technical Assistance Panel (TAP), which is conducted in a full-day workshop format (whereas the NCF session was 2 hours) in the summer of 2018. Several experts would convene to learn about the Downtown area and provide detailed advice on how to solve the issues and seize the opportunities that were identified in the first phase of the study. The results of this phase would inform the third and final phase of study. Phase III - Small Area Plan Report including Schematic Designs The third phase would require that a planning and architectural consultant merge all of the information to develop specific guidance for City staff, including schematic designs for the redevelopment of specific sites. The guidance would be published in the form of a report. Staff would refer to the report as developers approach the City with proposals for redevelopment in the Downtown area. It would ideally be adopted into the Comprehensive Plan in late 2018, giving it additional weight and influence in the City’s decision-making process for development. The report would also provide a list of actions that the City should take in order to best position the area for success. Conclusion Staff would like to understand Council’s priorities for this study and the kind of questions that should be answered during this process. The attached map shows the boundaries of the Downtown Planning District. Staff would like feedback on whether the boundaries should be reduced for the purposes of this study.

We would be more than happy to recommend this program to other mayors/managers.” Mayor Nancy Tyra-Lukens, City of Eden Prairie “Truly, thank you for invitfng me to partfcipate. This was an incredible experience. The people, the process, the brainstorming. Such fun and so well organized. Once again ULI is impressive!! A delightiul tfme.” Patricia Gnetz, Senior Vice President, US Bank "With the assistance of the ULI MN TAP, the City has been able to move forward on a key redevelopment project that expands rental housing optfons for residents. The TAP provided immeasurable assistance and was vital in guiding the strategic directfons for the property." Mayor Sandra Martin, City of Shoreview “As a developer, it is great to have an opportunity to interact with city officials in such an open way. The reality is that we are more often negotfatfng from opposite sides of the table. In this environment, we are getting to know each other and developing a deeper sense of what is possible. I believe that this is an important investment on both sides” John Breitinger, Vice President – Realty Advisory Services, United Properties; ULI MN Chair For more information contact: Aubrey Austin, ULI Minnesota Aubrey.Austin@uli.org 612-338-1332 NAVIGATING YOUR COMPETITIVE FUTURE Navigatfng Your Competftfve Future (“NCF”) is a two-hour interactfve workshop with policy leaders and volunteer real estate professionals to focus on the current challenges of development and redevelopment.
