2022 Housing and Economic Development
Overview
The priorities for 2021 and the proposed priorities for 2022 are based on the goals in the 2040
Comprehensive Plan, Housing and Redevelopment Authority 5 Year Housing Strategic Plan 2020-
2025, City Council legislative priorities, and the City’s organizational priorities including its diversity,
equity, and inclusion initiatives.
Housing
Providing a variety of housing choices allows people to find high-quality, affordable, environmentally
sustainable housing that meets their needs in the communities where they want to live. A full range
of housing types can help increase the resilience of a community as it experiences changing
demographic and economic conditions.
The Housing implementation actions identified in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan include:
• Maintain Housing Quality
• Expand the Variety of Housing Options
• Increase Housing Affordability
• Encourage Environmentally Sustainable Housing
• Advance Equity in Housing Practices and Policies
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority 5 Year Housing Strategic Plan 2020-2025 includes three
main priorities:
• Preserve Existing Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH) and Provide Tenant
Protections
• Develop New Affordable Housing to Increase and Diversify Housing Options and Opportunity
• Increase Diversity of Voices in Decision Making
Economic Development
As Golden Valley strives to create a climate for meaningful economic growth and provide a strong
economic base for its residents and employees, it also seeks to be competitive with other cities in the
metropolitan area. Because of its excellent proximity to downtown Minneapolis, access to major
highways and future transit, educated residents, and high-quality amenities, Golden Valley continues
to be a preferred location for businesses looking to locate or expand. At the same time the city faces
challenges, including limited space for development, aging buildings and infrastructure, increasing
highway congestion, and a shortage of affordable housing.
The Economic Competitiveness implementations actions identified in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan
include:
• Understand the Local Business Environment
• Develop Economic Partnerships
• Retain and Expand Existing Job Base
• Strengthen Link Between Land Use And Economy
• Promote Amenities To Attract Workers

Low-Income Homeowners and Renters
I.PRESERVE EXISTING HOUSING
Preservation of Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing
• Reviewed number of properties in the City that include Naturally Occurring Affordable
Housing (NOAH) units
• Developed a process to monitor the potential sale and transfer of ownership of NOAH
properties
• Met with non-profit affordable housing organizations to plan for a potential partnership if
necessary to support the acquisition of a NOAH property in the event of a sale to maintain
affordability
• Promoted the 4d Property Tax Abatement Program to existing owners of subsidized and
NOAH properties in the City to preserve long term affordability
• Participated in the NOAH Preservation Work Group along with ten other city governments
(Minneapolis, St. Paul, St. Louis Park, Edina, Eden Prairie, Bloomington, Richfield, Hopkins,
Brooklyn Center, and Brooklyn Park), Hennepin County, Minnesota Housing Finance Agency,
Metro HRA, Urban Land Institute, and Family Housing Fund. The work group meetings are
held to inform policy recommendations, share knowledge, and bring important stakeholders
to the conversations.
Tenant Protection
The Tenant Protection Ordinance provides a protected period of time following the sale of an
affordable housing building. The goal is to protect lower-income tenants in the city. Under the
ordinance, new owners of affordable housing buildings would be required to pay relocation benefits
to tenants if the owner increases the rent, re-screens existing residents or implements non-renewals
of leases without cause within a three-month period following the ownership transfer of the property
and the tenant chooses to move due to these actions.
• Developed a plan to identify a potential sale and change in ownership of a subsidized or
naturally occurring affordable housing property in the City
• Drafted communication tools for residents in the event of a sale and change in ownership
• Identified avenues for enforcement of remedies by tenants and the City
Housing Improvement Area (HIA)

affordable housing, cover application fees, build relationships with landlords, and keep
renters stable in the community
II.DEVELOP NEW MIXED INCOME HOUSING

Agenda Item
2. Golden Valley Affordable Homeownership Program Concept and Timeline Update
Prepared By
Cherie Shoquist, Housing and Economic Development Manager
Myles Campbell, Planner
Marc Nevinski, Physical Development Director
Summary
The City Council approved the Public Land Disposition Ordinance on December 21, 2021. The Housing
and Redevelopment Authority received and filed the City property inventory and recommendations on
March 15, 2022. Four properties were identified as available land for development of affordable
homeownership. The properties the HRA identified to move forward with single family or duplex
development are: 2415 Douglas Drive, 1605 Douglas Drive, 208 Meander Road, and 4707 Circle Down.
Before completion of the program policy and guidelines and the issuance of a Request for
Qualifications or Request for Proposals, staff will hold an information and engagement meeting with
potential developers. Developer’s input and expertise will be included in the program policy and
guidelines as well as the timeline for development that will be presented to the HRA for approval.
Program Concept
Purpose: Provide affordable, owner-occupied, single family housing in Golden Valley. The City of
Golden Valley, through its Public Land Disposition Policy, has prioritized the sale of city owned vacant
property for the purpose of developing opportunities for affordable homeownership. The City has
contemplated providing a land write down as an incentive for development of homes affordable at less
than 115% of Area Median Income, with a priority for affordability at 80% or 60% or Area Median
Income. The land write down would provide matching funds to leverage additional resources for
affordability or value gap assistance from Hennepin County, Metropolitan Council and/or Minnesota
Housing.
The City of Golden Valley and the HRA strongly support the development of affordable housing in our
city, throughout the Metro Area, and across the State. Providing both affordable rental and
homeownership opportunity is not only vital to providing all individuals and families with housing
choice, but also with access to stable housing that impacts their health, education, employment, and
ability to build wealth. The suburban metro will benefit from the economic impact of providing the
HRA Work Session Executive Summary

necessary supply of affordable housing in each of our communities and by providing affordable
housing for all Black, Indigenous, people of color, and lower income members of our communities.
Priority: Proposals from organizations that have demonstrated success in building relationships of
trust with Black, Indigenous and people of color and in serving first generation homebuyers.
To meet this priority, developers must demonstrate success building relationships of trust, marketing
to, and selling homes to Black, Indigenous and people of color and in serving first generation
homebuyers. The RFQ or RFO will request that developers provide the number of households served
by race and ethnicity in the past 2-5 years. Additionally, to provide the number of households served
at or below 60% of area median income, single headed households, or households who have one or
more household members with a disability.
The program policy and guidelines will set selection standards including project feasibility,
organizational capacity, community need, and other standards common to affordable homeownership
development.
Timeline
To achieve a level of affordability at 115% of Area Median Income, with a priority for affordability at
80% or 60% or Area Median Income, leveraged resources from Hennepin County, Metropolitan Council
and/or Minnesota Housing will be needed.
• The Minnesota Housing Super Request for Proposals is typically released in April, due mid-July,
awards are announced in December, and contracts are executed the following spring.
Developers must provide Minnesota Housing with a letter of pending commitment of funds and
site control by September 1.
• The Metropolitan Council expects to offer an affordable homeownership pilot program this fall.
Details are not yet available.
• Hennepin County typically issues a Request for Proposals in January, due in February, and
awarded in March.
Two draft timelines will be presented to housing developers for feedback. The timelines work
backwards from a spring 2023 or spring 2024 construction start, funding contingent.
Option 1 contemplates meeting the Minnesota Housing September 1, 2022 pending leverage
commitment requirement. This would necessitate a special meeting of the HRA in August.
Option 2 contemplates a longer timeline for the selection process. Note that if Minnesota Housing
Funds are needed construction would not begin until the spring of 2024, or at a later date contingent
on funding awards.
