the feedback was extremely positive.
Sweet Potato Comfort Pie
The Commission sponsored an honorarium at the Third Annual MLK Holiday of Service on
Sunday, January 15, 2017. Commissioner Martin reported that 100 people attended the event at
Calvary Lutheran Church. Dianne Moore, the HRC’s sponsored musician, sang an original song

essay at the Sweet Potato Comfort Pie MLK event at Brookview on January 14. He also
received a $50 cash prize. He received glowing feedback for not only his submission, but his
presentation at the event. The Sun Post requested to interview him for a story.

inspirational quotes about human rights, and placing them at Brookview and the Golden Valley
Hennepin County Library for distribution.

and prepare feedback on chapters of the comp plan alongside the other Commissions. The
Commission will continue to provide feedback as requested by the Planning department in early
2018.

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.

Executive Summary
Golden Valley Council/Manager Meeting
March 13, 2018
Agenda Item
3. a. 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).

Agenda Item
3. b. 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.

Executive Summary
Golden Valley Council/Manager Meeting
March 13, 2018
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.

The Urban Land Institute has a long
history of providing unbiased,
market-based solutions and best
practice advice on land use and
building resilient and competitive
communities.
At ULI Minnesota, we offer three
advisory service options to policy
leaders.
Each option engages ULI Minnesota
real estate professionals who
volunteer their time and talent to
contribute their wisdom and expertise.
The data, but especially the perspectfves of the panel, were very
helpful and stfmulated a great deal of discussion. Please let them
know how worthwhile this was for us as a city. 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”
