Zimmerman displayed the list of items reviewed at the June 8th meeting and reminded the group
that the meeting was continued to today was because of discussion around second story dormers;he
reviewed what is currently allowed and what the proposed changes are.
Second story dormers:
Currently allowed,but must be within building envelope
Proposed change:
o Allow second story dormers to extend outside of building envelope in limited
amounts
o (+)Breaks up the shading that falls on adjacent properties
o (+)Creates more interesting architectural features on new homes
o ()More complicated framing more expensive)
Zimmerman expanded on dormers by discussing shed dormers and gable dormers,as well as the
regulations when building them in to a second floor.Staff created a number of stills,mimicking
shadows on and around a property when dormers are in place.Of particular concern to
Commissioners was the amount of potential shade dormers would create,so staff showed
examples of three times in the year:Summer Solstice,Fall Equinox,and Winter Solstice,utilizing
actual location coordinates of a narrow lot and its neighbor.Displayed were examples of the
current regulations,then what the shading would look like with both types of dormers on the home
on the narrow lot.
Zimmerman moved on to address the previous meeting and the public hearing.He captured the
number of comments,those from folks who live on narrow lots and otherwise.He listed the
neighborhoods where most of the commenters live and their proximity to a narrow lot.He
reminded the group of the three phone calls that came in during the hearing and listed the top five
themes addressed in public comment.
Zimmerman ended by recapping the eight proposed changes and staff recommendation.
Commissioner Johnson asked staff if the shading models would become the standard for future
discussion around massing or density.Zimmerman responded that shading was just one of the
pieces considered when looking at topics like the one today.City Council specifically requested the
Commission and staff look at ways to reduce impacts of narrow lots and shading happened to be
one of those impact reduction items reviewed.
Commissioner Segelbaum asked how the sizes of the houses were determined in the shading
model.Zimmerman responded that they mimicked the two real homes,both on narrow lots,as
closely as possible.Myles Campbell,Planner,displayed a model showing the dormer options next
to current regulations.Baker pointed out two bungalows next to each other and noted the level of
shading in winter,adding that dormers do not drastically add to the shading at this particular time
of year.Commissioner Pockl asked to be reminded how much additional usable space is provided
on each dormer.Zimmerman stated there are a lot of variables but it’s somewhere between a half
and a full second story.Staff added that people tend to want a full second floor but there are
houses in Golden Valley that utilize dormers.Staff surmised that gable dormers tend to be used
less for added space and more for adding natural light.The conversation continued around
dormers,height options,split level homes,and other options to gain floors without adding height.

Baker apologized to the Commissioners and the public for addressing the dormers so late in this
process.He remains concerned that the approach to building on narrow lots may be flawed
because it assumes any new home must be of a certain square footage and must have a full second
floor.Baker said he remains convinced that houses of that assumed size may be beyond what’s
suitable for the smaller lots.He also said that the group should pass along to City Council that the
City should focus and build smaller starter homes on smaller lots,this will create housing equity.
Commissioner Sadeghi said the thinks the group was getting too specific on percentages of
building items and staff has done a great job finding the right balance for the city code.The real
issue at hand is the subdivision of lots and that should be where the focus is.He’s concerned that
the group may create too restrictive of a code and make it too hard for owners to either rebuild on
their property or to do renovations.Sadeghi added that he remains firm on the stance he had two
weeks ago on this issue.The conversation continued around reducing impact and harm to existing
homes and neighborhoods as a whole.
The discussion circled back to dormers and potentially changing the percentages or removing
dormers all together.When looking at the dormer plan as presented by staff,three Commissioners
stated they were opposed:Baker,Blum,Pockl.Brookins stated his support of staff
recommendation as did Johnson and Sadeghi.Johnson added that if moving the shed dormer
percentage from 50%to 40%would help the vote,he recommends the group change that
percentage amount in order to move the recommendation to Council.Commissioners continued
their discussion and included staff on clarifications and shading examples.
Chair Blum thanked the Commissioners for the long process and quality discussions on this item.
He added a thank you to everyone who had a public comment and contributed points that helped
the discussions occur.Baker added that he wants the Council to consider equity in housing as a
modifier.
MOTION made by Commissioner Baker and seconded by Commissioner Brookins to adopt the
recommendation made by staff with two conditions:shed dormers be limited to a 40%maximum
and that the Planning Commission ask Council to reconsider aspects of building for the future and
housing equity in addressing how the City’s few smallest lots should be developed.
Segelbaum asked that the housing equity recommendation be a second motion.
MOTION WITHDRAWN by Commissioner Baker
MOTION made by Commissioner Baker and seconded by Commissioner Brookins to adopt the
recommendation made by staff with the condition that a home have a shed dormer regulation of
40%maximum.
Staff took a roll call vote and it passed 5 2.

5. Council Liaison Report
Council Member Rosenquist updated the Commission on the City Council discussion around housing
and equity and reported that the HRA would be more active in the future.The Rising TIDES task force
had provided the Council with some recommendations and action on those recommendations would
be coming soon.The City would also be moving forward to hire an Equity,Inclusion,and Volunteer
Manager.She reported on the variance appeals that were heard at the June 16 City Council meeting
and that the DMV would be opening by appointment only.Also,staff had produced a CORR plan for
addressing safety during the pandemic.
Commissioner Segelbaum asked about the response to temporary outdoor dining.
6. Reports on Meetings of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority,City Council,Board of Zoning
Appeals,and other meetings
None.
7. Other Business
Zimmerman informed the Commissioners that the City Council,at its meeting reviewing the work of
the Board of Zoning Appeals,had suggested that they would like to explore having a set representative
or two from the Planning Commission that would handle all BZA meetings.This direction was intended
to create more consistency at BZA meetings and allow the representative Commissioner to develop a
greater background with the operations of the Board.Commissioners were hesitant to leave behind
the rotation method that had been adopted in recent years,as it helped balance the additional burden
of a third meeting each month.Commissioners Brookins and Sadeghi both volunteered to attend more
meetings if that was the direction from the Council.Zimmerman stated that he would go back to City
Council and let them know the first preference of the Commissioners was to keep the existing format
of rotating members.
8. Adjournment
MOTION made by Commissioner Pockl,seconded by Commissioner Brookins and the motion
carried unanimously to adjourn the meeting at 9:25 PM.

over 50% impervious surface coverage, many with multi-family
housing present.
h. The City has about 40% overall tree canopy coverage (30%-40% is
considered good and the City’s goal is to maintain over 40%):
i. Studies show a person’s quality of life, physical health, and
mental health are better with more trees and natural
vegetation.

inadequate tree cover (under 40%).
iii. Public trees have been inventoried within public Rights of
Way, parks, Brookview golf course, city campuses, and many

address inequities in the organization and the larger community.
vi. Where do we have vulnerable populations that are more susceptible to the
impacts of climate change?

plants in the pollinator plots being developed throughout the City. The commission
was supportive of the idea.
D. Program/Project Updates
i. Question on Narrow Lots and what exactly this means:
1. Single-family residential properties in Golden Valley come in a variety of
shapes and sizes. A vast majority of residential lots were created under
regulations that require at least 80 feet of width and at least 10,000 square
feet of area per lot. However, pockets of the city were planned (platted)
before those rules were in place, resulting in blocks of properties that are
only 60, 50, or even 40 feet wide and that may be as small as 5,000 square
feet.
2. Recent development pressures on these narrower lots concerned some
neighbors and prompted the City Council to take action. The City is
studying potential issues regarding narrow lots so the Council can consider
whether to make zoning code changes by spring 2020.
E. Council Updates
i. None
F. Other Business

3.E. 2. Purchase City-wide Camera System
Prepared By
Adam Knauer, IT Supervisor
Sue Virnig, Finance Director
Summary
Golden Valley City Council Meeting
August 4, 2020
The current locations of the security cameras need to be moved due to new needs in the building. The
pandemic has made social distancing required. In order to make sure social distancing is working, more
cameras need to be installed. The use of a scheduling system is needed too.
Two quotes were received from Aviligon and IDEACOM Mid-America. Aviligon's contract was for
$45,860. It included using existing cameras, a server that would need to be replaced in 5 years, no
maintenance, and no notification system for social distancing. The total cost using existing cameras and
a replacement of a server is $81,860. IDEACOM Mid-America's quote for Verkada was a system for 10
years, new cameras and mounts, social distancing notifications, and a scheduling system that can be
easily accessed with security built-in. The total package for Verkada is $82,091. Although the Verkada
system is slightly higher their quote includes new cameras.
Financial Or Budget Considerations
This camera system is desired during the pandemic. Staff recommends IDEACOM Mid-America's quote
for the amount of $82,091. The purchase will be paid for with CARES funds.
Recommended Action
Motion to approve contract from IDEACOM Mid-America for $82,091.

Executive Summary
Ideacom Mid-America thanks you for the opportunity to submit this proposal to City of Golden
Valley. We are committed to providing innovative, reliable products that are simple for your
entire staff to use. This solution offers a variety of cameras that are capable of being either
outdoor or indoor environments and are user friendly for non-technical personnel. We feel
this a great solution for the City of Golden Valley community. Each model of camera offers
high-definition video that work best in different environments, including low-light areas and
spots with low bandwidth. The system also includes a mobile command center in the form
of a Smartphone app or web base application, which allows users to monitor all feeds and
sends them alerts when cameras are triggered. Ideacom Mid-America supports this with
outstanding service, local support and integration expertise.
The pairing of the Verkada camera security system with installation, implementation and support
by local experts in this field makes this system the best value available anywhere. We believe
the success of the rapport between Ideacom Mid-America and City of Golden Valley will only
produce better results in years to come, and we look forward to a continued long relationship of
serving the staff of the City of Golden Valley with the very best in Video Surveillance technology.
Sincerely,
Haley Sheehy

City of Golden Valley | Scope & System Overview
Scope of Work:
For this project, Ideacom Mid-America would furnish 31 cameras for use at City Hall and Brookview Golf Course.
All cameras include a 10-year license, as well as 30 days of storage, except for two (2) cameras at Brookview,
which will have 90 (ninety) days of storage per client request. Cabling & Installation to be completed by client.
Based upon our Site Evaluation, Ideacom recommends the following placement:
Brookview Golf Course
For the Brookview Golf Course, we recommend replacing the current cameras with 25 cameras onsite, with plans
to replace the two license plate monitoring cameras in the future. To highlight, this would provide coverage for
the parking lot entrances, parking lot, exterior of the buildings, and interior of Brookview. It would also provide
coverage for public entrances and the ATM located on the first floor.
City Hall
At City Hall, we recommend to replace the current 5 cameras with 6 Verkada cameras, comprised of two (2) D80
cameras and four (4) CD61 cameras. This will provide full coverage for the lobby of the DMV, ATM, as well as the
public entrance into the DMV.
Verkada Viewing Station
To monitor the system, we recommend two (2) Verkada Viewing Stations, which will give better visibility and
insight to the client on what the Verkada camera system is seeing. One Viewing Station will be located at the City
of Golden Valley Police Department, with the other sitting at the Brookview Golf course.
Ideacom Block of Hours
This proposal also includes a block of 10 hours that may be used for on-site training, portal-to-portal, and/or
remote service during normal business hours.

3. G. Resolution Identifying the Need for Livable Communities Demonstration Account Funding and
Authorizing Application for Grant Funds
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Myles Campbell, Planner
Summary
The Metropolitan Council’s Livable Communities Demonstration Account (LCDA) funds innovative
redevelopment projects that efficiently link housing, jobs, services, and transit in an effort to create
inspiring and lasting communities. In 2020, the Met Council has set aside $8.5 million to distribute to
qualifying projects in the form of grants. All applications must be submitted by a municipality, county, or
other development authority and the applying local governmental unit must have adopted a Fair Housing
Policy.
Staff has been approached by a developer proposing to construct a mixed use project (tentatively called
Golden Gardens) at 9010 Olson Memorial Highway (the current location of the Chip & Putt building). The
site would be redeveloped into a six story mixed use building with office and commercial spaces on the
ground floor and affordable housing above (34 units at 60% of AMI and 34 units at 80% of AMI). A green
rooftop would offer stormwater management and provide gardening space for tenants.
The developer has submitted an application for Tax Increment Financing from the City and is pursuing a
number of other financial funding streams in order to acquire the site and begin work. Grant funding for
site acquisition and demolition of the existing structure is potentially available through the LCDA program.
While the project is still in the early stages of development, with a number of details to be resolved, the
concept being put forward by the developer is one that is consistent with both the broader goals of the
City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan as well as the purpose of the new Mixed Use zoning district. The project
would provide an integration of uses (housing as well as commercial and office space), add new affordable
housing, provide a context suitable for high-frequency transit, and foster neighborhood-serving retail and
service uses. The initial site and building concepts have been designed to fit the requirements of the Mixed
Use zoning district as well as the City’s architectural and material standards.
At the request of the developer, staff is asking the City Council to adopt a resolution of support for an
application for LCDA grant funding for this Golden Gardens project.

RESOLUTION IDENTIFYING THE NEED FOR LIVABLE COMMUNITIES
DEMONSTRATION ACCOUNT FUNDING AND AUTHORIZING APPLICATION
FOR GRANT FUNDS
WHEREAS the City of Golden Valley is a participant in the Livable Communities
Act's Local Housing Incentives Account Program for 2020 as determined by the
Metropolitan Council, and is therefore eligible to apply for Livable Communities
Demonstration Account funds; and
WHEREAS the City has identified a proposed project within the City that meets
the Demonstration Account's purposes and criteria and is consistent with and promotes
the purposes of the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act and the policies of the
Metropolitan Council's adopted metropolitan development guide; and
WHEREAS the City has the institutional, managerial and financial capability to
ensure adequate project administration; and
WHEREAS the City certifies that it will comply with all applicable laws and
regulations as stated in the grant agreement; and
WHEREAS the City agrees to act as legal sponsor for the project contained in
the grant application submitted on July 31, 2020; and
WHEREAS the City acknowledges Livable Communities Demonstration Account
grants are intended to fund projects or project components that can serve as models,
examples or prototypes for development or redevelopment projects elsewhere in the
region, and therefore represents that the proposed project or key components of the
proposed project can be replicated in other metropolitan-area communities; and
WHEREAS only a limited amount of grant funding is available through the
Metropolitan Council's Livable Communities Demonstration Account during each
funding cycle and the Metropolitan Council has determined it is appropriate to allocate
those scarce grant funds only to eligible projects that would not occur without the
availability of Demonstration Account grant funding.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, after appropriate examination and
due consideration, the City Council:
Finds that it is in the best interests of the City's development goals and priorities
for the proposed project to occur at this particular site and at this particular time.
Finds that the project components for which Livable Communities Demonstration
Account funding is sought:
Resolution No. 20-46 -2- August 4, 2020
Will not occur solely through private or other public investment within the
reasonably foreseeable future; and
Will occur within three years after a grant award only if Livable
Communities Demonstration Account funding is made available for this
project at this time.
Understands that mixed use and demonstration projects can be difficult to
finance and therefore supports seeking funding from multiple and non-conventional
sources to complete such projects in a timely and efficient manner.
Authorizes its Physical Development Department to submit on behalf of the City
an application for Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Demonstration Account
grant funds totaling $1,000,000 for the project components identified in the application
for Golden Gardens, and to execute such agreements as may be necessary to
implement the project on behalf of the City.
Adopted by the City Council of Golden Valley, Minnesota this 4th day of August, 2020.

4. A. Public Hearing – Amendments to the Zoning Map – Rezoning Properties to Achieve Conformance
with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
Staff is requesting that eight properties south of Olson Memorial Highway be rezoned in order to come
into conformance with the Future Land Use Map in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of these map amendments (6-0) at its meeting on July
13. Consideration of rezoning ten other properties was tabled for further discussion in August.
Background
State statute requires that all zoning designations be updated to be consistent with the land uses
identified in the Comprehensive Plan within nine months of adoption. The I-394 Corridor mixed use
properties were the first to be rezoned in February of 2020. The eight properties now under
consideration are the second group to be rezoned; at least two other groups of properties will follow
later in 2020.
Below is a summary of the process that was followed to approve and adopt the 2040 Comprehensive
Plan:
Meeting Date Action
November 13, 2018 Planning Commission reviewed the final draft of the City’s proposed
2040 Comprehensive Plan and unanimously recommended it be
approved
December 4, 2018 City Council held a public hearing and voted to approve the plan
January 2, 2019 City Council directed staff to submit the plan to the Metropolitan
Council for final review
January 22, 2020 Metropolitan Council approved Golden Valley’s plan
February 4, 2020 City Council adopted the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and approved the
rezoning of the I-394 Mixed Use properties

Analysis
The eight properties south of Olson Memorial Highway that are under consideration for rezoning
represent five different areas. Four of the areas to be rezoned are simply aligning the zoning
designations with the uses that are already established. One of the areas is actively directing future
changes in use based on the vision of the Future Land Use Map in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
Two of these areas, containing three parcels, are currently within a Planned Unit Development (PUD).
In these locations, the requirements of the PUD trump those of the underlying zoning district so no
impacts are anticipated even though the zoning designation will be modified.
No development proposals are pending with the City at any of these locations. More detailed
descriptions of these properties and their current uses are listed below:

Group 1
The General Mills Nature Preserve is a City-owned natural open space that sits in the southeast
quadrant of Hwy 169 and Hwy 55. It abuts Bassett Creek and is protected by conservation and
trail easements. The change in zoning would more closely align with the existing and future use
of this area.

Group 2
The property containing the General Mills campus was historically zoned for industrial use. The
PUD that was created in 2001 approved the office use that is there today, but given the purpose
of the Industrial Zoning District (manufacturing) the office designation is more appropriate.
Because the campus is within a PUD, the rules of that overlay take precedence and there are no
expected impacts from this change.

Group 3
These two properties at Glenwood Ave and Xenia Ave S, containing a duplex and a single-family
home, are surrounded by other higher density residential uses. They have been guided for
medium density use for decades but to date have not been rezoned to match. This change
would align the land use and the zoning designation and set the table for future residential
development at the intersection of two major roadways.

Given the evolution of the city’s High Density Residential (R-4) Zoning District, the actual density
of the South Wirth Apartments more closely aligns with the city’s Medium Density Residential
R-3) Zoning District.

Group 5
While the entirety of the Central Park West development is zoned for office use, this is a
remnant of a past vision for the area that is not consistent with some of the new uses that have
been established. A hotel along Wayzata Boulevard and an apartment that sits partially within
St. Louis Park should be rezoned to Commercial and High Density (R-4) Residential respectively
in order to better align with the existing uses. All associated properties sit within the Central
Park West PUD, so the zoning changes will have no impact on current operations.

1513 Utica Ave S Office R-4
Should the City chose not to rezone any of these properties, an amendment to the Future Land Use
Map would then be required with the Met Council – modifying the recently-adopted 2040
Comprehensive Plan – in order to maintain consistency between guided land use and zoning.

6. A. Consideration of a Moratorium on Pawnshops, Precious Metal Dealers, and Payday Lenders
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
In preparation for a review of the use tables contained in the Zoning Chapter of the City Code, and in
light of the ongoing Downtown Study approved by the City Council, staff has prepared a twelve-month
moratorium on the establishment of new pawnshops, precious metal dealers, or payday lenders in
order to allow time to study potential zoning regulations.
Specifically, the moratorium will prohibit new pawnshops, precious metal dealers, or payday lenders
from opening while staff conducts a study of issues including, but not limited to, a review of the
following:
1. Public health, safety, and welfare issues relating to pawnshops, precious metal dealers, and
payday lenders with specific emphasis on risks associated with stolen goods and other
criminal activity, demands places on law enforcement, risks to vulnerable individuals,
inappropriate or predatory lending activities, consumer protection issues, and the effect of
these businesses on surrounding properties and neighborhood vitality.
2. Whether it would be appropriate to make changes to the current regulations within specific
zoning districts within the City and, if so, which ones.
3. The experience of other cities that regulate these industries and the different regulatory
approaches used.
4. The experience and preference of law enforcement personnel regarding these industries.
5. Consideration of any other potential amendments to the current regulations that may be
appropriate for the City Code.
Pursuant to City Code § 2-42, this ordinance requires only one reading. The proposed moratorium
expires in twelve months; however, the Council may end the moratorium sooner by repealing the
ordinance.
Recommended Action
Motion to adopt Ordinance #686, imposing a Twelve Month Moratorium on Pawnshops, Precious Metal
Dealers, and Payday Lenders.

INTERIM ORDINANCE NO. 686
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE
IMPOSING A TWELVE MONTH MORATORIUM
ON PAWNSHOPS, PRECIOUS METAL DEALERS,
AND PAYDAY LENDERS
The City Council of the City of Golden Valley hereby ordains:
Section 1. Authority
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 462. 355, subd. 4, the City is authorized to
establish interim ordinances to regulate, restrict, or prohibit any use or development in all or a
part of the City while the City or its planning department is conducting studies, or has
authorized a study to be conducted, or has scheduled a hearing to consider adoption or
amendment of the comprehensive plan or official zoning controls. The City declares that this
interim ordinance is established pursuant to the aforementioned statute.
Section 2. Findings
The City Council is concerned about the location of pawnshops, precious metal
dealers, and payday lenders given the potential for the presence of stolen goods, as well as
the possibility of questionable lending practices. In addition, the City Council has concerns
regarding the potential for these businesses to develop into nuisance properties and create
problems for law enforcement. Moreover, the City Council is aware of various business
practices associated with pawnshops, precious metal dealers, and payday lenders that can
take advantage of individuals who are vulnerable. As a result of the important land use issues
cited above, the City has authorized a study to consider possible amendments to its official
controls, including the zoning code, and related policy and process improvements. The City
Council finds that this interim ordinance should be adopted to protect the planning process
and the public health, safety, neighboring properties, economic viability, public assets, and
general welfare of the City.
Section 3. Study Authorized
City staff is hereby directed to undertake a study, in coordination with the Planning
Commission, to evaluate the impact of pawnshops, precious metal dealers, and payday
lenders on communities citywide and to propose such amendments to the City’s official
controls and other regulatory devices that the staff deems necessary and advisable in
furtherance of the City’s policy objectives. The study area consists of the entire City.
Section 4. Moratorium Imposed
For a period of twelve (12) months from the effective date of this ordinance on August
13, 2020, throughout the City of Golden Valley:
1. No New Pawnshops, Precious Metal Dealers, or Payday Lenders. No zoning
approval, building permit, or license shall be allowed or granted by any City
department to establish a new pawnshop, precious metal dealer, or payday lender
in a location where one does not already exist.
Ordinance No. 686 -2- August 4, 2020
2. Exceptions: Subject to compliance with all applicable existing ordinances:
a. License renewals shall be allowed during the interim ordinance period.
b. License transfers from one business to another business overtaking the
same physical space shall be allowed during the interim ordinance period.
This Interim Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage and
publication as required by law. The Council may elect to take action to conclude the interim
ordinance prior to its scheduled expiration.
Adopted by the City Council this 4th day of August, 2020.
