5. Informal Public Hearing –Zoning Map Amendment
Applicant: Academy of Whole Learning
Address: 8810 10th Avenue North; 915 and 1021 Boone Avenue North
Purpose: To rezone the properties from Industrial to Institutional (I‐1)
Myles Campbell, Planner, listed that this request technically includes three addresses, 8810
10th, 915 Boone, and 1021 Boone but the former is the main address. A map and the location’s
relation to the neighborhood was displayed as well as street views of the property.
Campbell listed the lot’s existing conditions: the building was formally a warehouse and
manufacturing facility, 5.2 acres in combined acreage, principal structure is 20k sq/ft, and
there’s an accessory structure SW of the principle structure. Parking and parking access were
also reviewed.
Academy of Whole Learning (AOWL) is a non‐profit school requesting to amend the Future Land
Use Map to guide these properties for Assembly versus the current guidance as Industrial.
Additionally, AOWL would like to rezone from Industrial to Institutional. Both changes are
necessary for AOWL to use the site for school operations and for them to purchase the site.
Maps were shown to the Commission what the current zoning is and what the guided land use
in the 2040 Comp Plan is.
Campbell reviewed the staff analysis, reminding the Commission that City Code does not set
specific standards for amendments to either the zoning map or the future land use plan. City
Council and the Planning Commission are given the flexibility in determinations for a change in
either.
A majority of uses around the proposed property are zoned either industrial or light industrial;
staff notes that a majority of businesses are offices, services, or retail. Looking long‐term, some
surrounding properties may be explored for commercial or mixed‐use designations due to their
proximity to downtown.
City engineers noted that both Boone Ave N and 10th Ave N have the capacity for the site’s
traffic demands if rezoned since both roads are designed for industrial/office traffic. There are
some low‐density residential roads to the north and engineering is able to work with a future
user to ensure those areas wouldn’t be impacted. The site’s parking lot has multiple access
points from the road and there are areas to the south for turnaround alternatives. Assembly
land use was not a planned use for the site on adoption of the Comp Plan, but staff is interested
to see if other policies support the site’s re‐use as an institutional property.
Typically, cities do not have neighborhoods designed around the institutional zoning, and so the
question of “spot zoning” comes up. The City may choose to rezone a property in a manner that
does not conform to the Comprehensive Plan, even when the rezoning is inconsistent with
some of the surrounding uses, provided the decision is supported with a factual record that
shows the decision was not arbitrary and capricious and was reasonably related to the
promotion of public health, safety, morals, and general welfare. Campbell listed a number of
findings based on the previous analysis to support the recommendation.

Recommendation
City staff recommends approval of the requested amendment to the Future Land Use Map,
changing the guided land use for 8810 10th Ave N, 915 Boone Ave N, and 1021 Boone Ave N
from Industrial to Assembly.
City staff recommends approval of the requested amendment to the Zoning Map, changing the
zoning designation for 8810 10th Ave N, 915 Boone Ave N, and 1021 Boone Ave N from
Industrial to Institutional Sub‐district I‐1.
Commissioner Segelbaum asked about transitional land‐use areas and if there’s a typical area
an institutional zone is near. Campbell responded that the Meadowbrook/Breck location is a
good example, the co‐location minimizes traffic impacts in other areas; another is the City Hall
Campus, there are a collection of institutional uses. For this site, the main impacts will be at the
morning and afternoon drop off/pick up times. Commissioner Baker stated that while current
neighboring uses are not incompatible with a school, the neighboring uses could change and
become incompatible uses. Campbell responded that it’s a consideration to make but the
group should think about the actual possibility of those uses being sold on to a new owner and
having a different use; most of the buildings were built with a single use in mind. If an
incompatible use operates near AOWL, there isn’t liability on the City for that incompatibility.
Tobacco, firearm, and sexually oriented businesses wouldn’t be allowed as distance restrictions
are in place to prevent their proximity to a school.
Commissioner Johnson referenced the Spot Zoning memo by the City Attorney and the
references to morals, he asked how the Commission is supposed to interpret that within the
context of their decision. Campbell reiterated that the code does not define standards to be
met and there can be benefits to cities that offer spaces for people to congregate. There is
vagueness around the public health safety welfare consideration. Pockl stated that while the
applicant offered to take on the responsibility of the traffic study but asked where the
responsibility lies. Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager said the city traffic engineers will
review and if they feel road lanes need to be changed, they’d discuss with the applicant to
either hire a consultant or take a deposit to use the city on call traffic consultant.
Chair Blum invited the applicant to speak.
Wyayn Rasmussen, Applicant gave a brief presentation about Academy of Whole Learning,
their goals and mission, history of services, and population served. Rasmussen elaborated on
other sites reviewed for consideration and only one other, out of 50 properties reviewed,
seemed to meet the needs of the school. This location in Golden Valley meets the needs of the
school as well as provides opportunities for collaboration with other districts and businesses.
Since 2003, AOWL has moved 4 times to leased spaces and they’d like to offer a permanent
location to their students and families.
Johnson asked the applicant how many of the properties on the list of possibilities did not
require a land‐use zoning change. Rasmussen responded that one location was zoned for a
school however it was out of the 494 corridor and had limited green space. The Applicant

expanded on the rubric for scoring potential properties. 10‐12 properties met that rubric with a
score of 15 and only one besides this location scored higher. The other location was surrounded
by a lot of water and it didn’t feel like it was ideal for the school and their population.
Commissioner Pockl asked when the school would start operating and the applicant responded
that they are currently leasing and that expires in June 2022 and the goal is to open in Golden
Valley in Fall 2022. Johnson asked if AOWL was expecting any financial support from the city in
either the lot acquisition or their operations. The applicant responded that they had no such
plans or agreements with the City. Segelbaum asked if the school has after school activity
offerings and the applicant responded they offer clubs Monday‐Friday until 4:15 and once a
week that may go until 7. They don’t have offerings on weekends. Johnson asked how to
engage the Golden Valley community and continue that relationship. Applicant illustrated the
schools need and appreciation for volunteers for everything from hallway decorating to
classroom volunteering. The greatest potential for benefit and longevity in partnership is
through job coaching volunteers.
The Chair opened the public hearing at 8:12 PM
Johnson asked what happens if the purchase of this property doesn’t go through. The rezoning
can’t be conditional and the City will then have re‐purposed land in the Commercial district.
How can this risk be minimized for the City? Commissioner Brookins stated that this is a good
point but this school fills a hole in the current conditional‐use language. Brookins added that he
wants to see this facility and this need met in the community but it’s a matter of making sure
the process is done correctly and he’s not sure rezoning is the correct route. Zimmerman stated
there weren’t any alternatives to an I‐1 zoning in the City Code to allow this school to operate.
The conversation continued on specifics with the zoning code and why a rezoning is the only
option. Segelbaum added to this conversation and added what a benefit this school will be to
the students, community, and the City. Commissioner Sadeghi echoed Segelbaum’s statements
and added this is a forward way of thinking regarding buildings of this type. Chair Blum recalled
feedback at one point regarding the benefits of preserving Industrial and Light Industrial zoned
properties. Staff responded this conversation came from the idea of converting these buildings
to multifamily units. This has pros and cons but one of the cons is the reduction in jobs and job
growth in the city. Rezoning to Institutional isn’t as big of a change as it’s still a job producing
site. Blum followed up by asking if this rezoning sets a precedence for future rezonings.
Zimmerman stated that having this rezoning could be an example for this process but it also
depends on the vision of City Council.
The Chair closed the public hearing at 8:28 PM.
MOTION made by Commissioner Baker, seconded by Commissioner Sadeghi, to follow staff
recommendation and approve the amendment to the Future Land Use Map, changing the
guided land use for 8810 10th Ave N, 915 Boone Ave N, and 1021 Boone Ave N from Industrial
to Assembly.

Johnson stated it’s hard to see this type of school isn’t addressed in the code. Instead of
changing the code, he added, maybe that same logic can be used to change an ordinance or a
conditional use. Johnson acknowledged the added workload for staff but he feels there are too
many unknowns to amend existing code. Zimmerman asked if the suggestion was to amend the
zoning code as a conditional use instead of rezoning. It would require a determination that a
school is appropriate for this property but also for any property zoned industrial. There are
RLUPA considerations and what other zoning districts might allow Religious institutions and
Industrial isn’t one of them. A recommendation of denial would need to go to the City Council
with an addendum for them to direct Planning Commission to go this route instead. Johnson
said there may be an opportunity because AOWL is a particular type of school. Planning
Commission has ability to differentiate the type of school and students served in an amended
conditional use. Johnson recommended the motion be denied but proceed with identifying
schools akin to AOWL in a Light Industrial district. Brookins added that this is an opportunity to
clean the code and amend permitted or conditional use. The whole list of terms could be
revisited and approached in a way that doesn’t lead to spot zoning. Segelbaum asked why
there are concerns about rezoning to I‐1 and this use seems to fit in this particular location.
Johnson responded that this is a way to be consistent and this may be an opportunity to create
code clarity. Baker agreed that ordinances should be amended to support these uses but
doesn’t have concern with addressing the present need and allowing the AOWL project to
move forward. Baker reminded the Commission there was a motion on the table. Chair Blum
stated the findings of staff are credible and CUPs in the nearby area have diversified the area
and this proposed change contributes to the diversity consistent with growth in that area. The
applicant is seeking to offer increased services and will be doing other work as part of their
project that will be an asset to Golden Valley. Blum stated he has reservations on if this is the
perfect route to take but will vote yes on the motion.
Regarding the previous motion, staff took a roll call vote.

MOTION made by Commissioner Baker, seconded by Commissioner Pockl, to follow staff
recommendation and approve amendment to the Zoning Map, based on staff findings in the
memo presented to the Commission.
Johnson stated his opinion is regarding the process standpoint and not about the proposed
project purpose and meaning. Segelbaum agreed this is something to be reviewed closer, in the
future it would be an easier process for an applicant. He added that there is a need for this
particular project and there’s a benefit to Golden Valley. Baker echoed Segelbaum’s comment.

6. Informal Public Hearing – Amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 73
Applicant: Border Foods dba Taco Bell #2421
Address: 6620 Wayzata Boulevard
Purpose: To allow for an addition to an existing Class II Restaurant
Myles Campbell, Planner, started a presentation that began with the building’s location in the
city, the future land use map, the existing zoning, and then a map of the current parking lot.
Campbell went in to greater detail on the applicant’s request for an amendment, which is
required due to the loss in parking to accommodate a potential cold storage addition. The
applicant is also meeting with BZA tomorrow to request a variance related to the site’s
minimum parking requirement. Campbell included history on the original CUP and that Class II
Restaurants are a conditional use within the Commercial Zoning District. The applicant is
proposing the current trash enclosure would move east into what is currently parking in the
front of the building. A new cold storage area will be added to the building where the trash
enclosure is now, the addition is 240 sq. ft. Staff analyzed the proposed layout and given that
the proposed layout would be under the code requirements, staff considered requiring the
proof of parking be paved, but opted recommending against this course of action. City
Environmental Staff reviewed a hydrology assessment for the site, added impervious surface
would likely exceed the capacity of the catch basin and stormwater infrastructure on‐site.
Staff hasn’t heard of complaints relating to a lack of parking and have observed the drive‐
through absorbing most of the peak activity. Maintaining but not paving this proof of parking in
the CUP is a good middle ground, preserving the option in the future without creating
unnecessary hard surface. Campbell added 11 findings that came from staff evaluation and
noted other considerations from the Deputy Fire Chief.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 73, Amendment 1, allowing for an
addition to an existing Class II Restaurant at 6620 Wayzata Boulevard, subject to the following
conditions:
1. The site plan dated 7/6/98, prepared by Alliant Engineering, Inc., is a part of this permit.
2. The landscape plan dated 7/6/98, prepared by Alliant Engineering, Inc., is a part of this
permit.
3. As indicated on the site plan, there may be six “proof of parking” spaces. These spaces
must be constructed when, in the opinion of the City Manager or their designee, there is
a need for the spaces.
4. The requirements outlined in the memo dated 7/21/98 from Assistant City Engineer Jeff
Oliver shall become a part of this permit.
5. The building elevations prepared by Wirtanen Clark Larsen Architects Inc. shall become
a part of this permit.
6. The applicant will install an automatic sprinkler system consistent with the standards
established in the State Building Code.

The Commissioners discussed parking, the drive through, and how the two may be impacted by
the amendment.
The architect for the applicant spoke and added that the building is sprinkled and the current
system will be extended to the new building. Commissioner Baker asked about details of the
cold food storage addition. Applicant responded that it’s only for this location and it’s needed
to properly store a greater amount of food in the building.
The Chair opened the public hearing at 9:15pm.
Commissioners continued the discussion and touched on traffic considerations and the drive
through. They also discussed the property and when the current building was built, in 1998.
The Chair closed the public hearing at 9:20pm.
MOTION made by Commissioner Pockl, seconded by Commissioner Baker, to follow staff
recommendation and approve the amendment of Conditional Use Permit No. 73, Amendment
1, subject to the conditions laid out in the staff memo.
Staff took a roll call vote and the motion passed unanimously.
7. Introduction to Just Deeds Project – Presentation by City Attorney Maria Cisneros
Maria Cisneros, Golden Valley City Attorney, started her presentation of the Just Deeds Project,
started by City Council and the Human Rights Commission. This project was created to discuss the
issue of discriminatory covenants in Golden Valley. In 2019, it was ruled that homeowners could
discharge the discriminatory covenants on their property; the City Council and Human Rights
Coalition will be involved to help residents with that discharge process.
Cisneros played a video on this project.
Cisneros included language in her presentation of the covenant found on her property,
discussed her family, the impacts the covenants have had and would have had on her family at
the time the covenant was set in place. She cited minutes from two planning commission
meetings in 1938 that approved plats for West Tyrol Hills with discriminatory language in the
approval. Cisneros showed a map of Golden Valley with locations of the covenants displayed,
there are 1,600 discriminatory covenants in Golden Valley. She discussed patterns in covenant
locations and specifically the area that borders Minneapolis, as redlining was prevalent in
Minneapolis. The presentation elaborated on lasting impacts of these covenants as well as what
Commissioners can do moving forward. Commissioners asked questions and had a discussion
on process and particulars from the Legislative determination.

She updated the Commission on Council discussion regarding the width of streets for the Pavement
Management Program and the news that the Governor signed a bonding bill with money for DeCola
Ponds and the Douglas Drive and Olson Memorial Highway intersection and roundabout. Additionally,
Rosenquist noted that the Council looked at the existing Crime Free and Disorderly Conduct
Ordinances and recommended making changes to or eliminating those requirements.

To: Golden Valley Planning Commission
From: Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Subject: Informal Public Hearing – Rezone Properties to Achieve Conformance with the
2040 Comprehensive Plan
Summary
Staff is requesting that six properties be considered for rezoning in order to come into
conformance with the Future Land Use Map in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
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. A number of areas have
already been rezoned by the City Council. One area that remains under consideration is a handful
of properties located south of the Tennant Companies plant at 701 Lilac Drive North.
Analysis
The six properties under consideration represent an area that has been guided for Industrial use
since the adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, if not before. These properties currently
represent a patchwork of zoning designations, including Light Industrial, Office, Institutional (I‐3),
and Single‐Family Residential (R‐1). The 2040 Comprehensive Plan put forward the land use
designation again as part of the Future Land Use Map.
In addition to their main plant at 701 Lilac Dr N, Tennant operates two standalone buildings along
the frontage road (both part of the existing PUD). In 2015, Tennant purchased the vacant
property at 621 Lilac Dr N in anticipation of the development of a new office headquarters
building. A single‐family home at 5804 Olson Memorial Highway was also purchased and that
property was vacated. A second single‐family home at 5806 Olson Memorial Highway remains
and is accessed via a right‐of‐way parcel also owned by Tennant. Preliminary plans for the office
development were advanced to the City Council in 2018, but ultimately the project was
withdrawn. As a part of that process, a new Damascus Way facility was approved and recently
completed on an adjacent property zoned Medium Density Residential (R‐3). The vacated parcel
– now owned by Tennant – would be rezoned to Industrial.
2
With the withdrawal of the office proposal by Tennant, the properties being rezoned will be
available for other future development proposals. An Industrial zoning designation allows for a
range of manufacturing and warehouse uses, as well as offices. While this quadrant of the Hwy
100 and Olson Memorial Hwy interchange has good visibility from traffic passing by on Hwy
100, access to the site is complicated. The site is therefore not likely to be conducive to retail
and is more appropriate for manufacturing or service uses.

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.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval of an amendment to the Zoning Map to rezone the six properties
listed in the attachment from various zoning designations to Industrial.

the Planning Commission, it is the duty of the Commission to review major capital improvement
plans against the goals and objectives incorporated into the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and to
determine if they are consistent.
Beginning in 2019, the CIP was expanded from its previous five‐year timeframe to a ten‐year
timeframe. The current proposal was discussed at the Council/Manager meeting on September 8,
2020. Key initiatives in this plan, and the 2040 Comp Plan goals that are being addressed, are

The CIP only addresses infrastructure. Other Comp Plan goals and objectives such as those found
in the Land Use and Housing chapters are being advanced through policy decisions (e.g., various
Affordable Housing topics) and budget allocations (e.g., funding for a Housing and Economic
Development Manager).
Recommended Action
Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt a finding that the 2021‐2030 Capital
Improvement Program as it is consistent with the goals and objectives of Golden Valley’s 2040
Comprehensive Plan.

Improvement Program 2021-2030 Storm
Water Section This
section includes the storm water infrastructure improvements and the flood damage reduction program
for the next five years. Most of these improvements, which include both rate control and water
quality projects, coincide with the Pavement Management Program (see section on Streets) and
the Infrastructure Renewal Plan starting in 2025. Improvements
will be funded by user fees based on different types of property as to the volume of storm
water runoff from an acre of each type of land. The goal is to have enough reserves to account for
50% of the current revenues.

Capital Improvement Program 2021-2030
Water and Sanitary Sewer Utility Section
A ten-year projection of the Water and Sanitary Sewer Fund reveals some potential financial
challenges the City may have to address. The contract pricing with the City of Minneapolis and
Golden Valley -Crystal -New Hope Joint Water Commission was renewed in 2013. The Metropolitan
Council Environmental Services (MCES) surcharge program related to inflow and infiltration will have
a direct affect on rates as it requires the City to make improvements to the sanitary system that will
reduce the rate of inflow and infiltration into the system. In 2025, the Infrastructure Renewal Program
IRP) will begin.
Fees from the City's utility bill are the main source of revenue.

Program
2021-2030 Streets Section The
City of
Golden Valley has over 120 miles of streets. The city is responsible for 90 miles of local streets. Municipal State
Aid streets account for the remainder or 30 miles. As streets deteriorate, roads need to
be reconstructed or repaired. The City's
Pavement Management Program has outlined all roads to be reconstructed by the year 2024. The bond
payments on the debt will go until 2044. This plan has been included in the five year program. In 2025,
the
City will start the Infrastructure Renewal Program (IRP). This program will renew sections of the city
each year and cover a span of 40 years. The revenue sources
are city-wide street reconstruction debt levy, state aid debt, benefiting property owner assessments and
Municipal State Aid Allotments.
