Budget For 2018, the City Council approved a budget of $3,500 for the HRC. The HRC expended $1,850 (53 percent) of its budget for professional fees for speaker honorariums; a cash prize for the literary contest winner; tickets to sponsor a table at the 2018 Martin Luther King, Jr Holiday Breakfast; hosting a booth at GV Pride festival; and hosting the Green Card Youth Voices exhibit. Meetings The HRC held 11 regular meetings and had an option to attend the joint board/commission/council meeting in February. 2018 Work Plan Accomplishments Beyond setting a work plan of specific activities and events, the HRC set three specific goals for the year: • Partner with other city human rights commissions and community service organizations on educational or outreach opportunities. • Explore opportunities to educate the community on voting rights. • Update and enhance communication strategies (including providing resources through the City website). The HRC successfully achieved all three of these goals in 2018. Golden Valley Human Rights Commission 2018 Annual Report 5 Quarter 1: Jan-Mar 28th Annual MLK Holiday Breakfast The HRC purchased one table (10 tickets) for the General Mills Foundation 28th Annual MLK Holiday Breakfast, and all 10 tickets were distributed. Sweet Potato Comfort Pie The HRC sponsored two speakers at the Annual Sweet Potato Comfort Pies event held at Brookview Jan 14, 2018. Several Commissioners also volunteered at the event as well. The winner of the 2018 MLK Literary Contest presented his submission and received great praise from event attendees. City Comprehensive Plan Commissioners all had an opportunity to provide feedback on all of the sections of the Comprehensive plan. Interview with Joseph Ramlet, winner of the MLK Literary Contest Golden Valley Human Rights Commission 2018 Annual Report 6 Welcome Statement The HRC created a Welcome Statement, at the request of the Council, to share the City’s commitment to welcoming all to live, work, play, and visit in Golden Valley. The Council adopted the Welcome statement, and it is used both internally and externally within the community. Quarter 2: Apr-Jun Bylaws Update The HRC reviewed its bylaws and voted on a change to the “goals” section to better reflect the intention of the Commission as it is stated in the City Code. At the same time, the Commission re- branded the “HRC Conversations” to “HRC Community Outreach,” to better capture all HRC efforts. Golden Valley Pride Festival The HRC participated in the Golden Valley Pride Festival June 12. At the booth, Commissioners distributed the originally- designed Golden Valley human rights magnet and distributed an updated HRC brochure. Updated HRC brochure City Of Golden Valley Welcome Statement The City of Golden Valley believes in and stands for the values of social equity, inclusion, and justice. We embrace diversity and recognize the rights of individuals to live their lives with dignity, free of discrimination, fear, violence, and hate. We welcome individuals to Golden Valley regardless of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, immigration status, gender, gender identity, marital status, age, disability, economic status, sexual orientation, familial status, or cultural background. We strive to provide fair and unbiased services and programs, giving opportunities for all. We are dedicated to being a supportive and united community, strengthened by the diversity of our residents and visitors. Golden Valley Human Rights Commission 2018 Annual Report 7 Quarter 3: Jul-Sep Co-Sponsored Voter Rights Event On Sept 13, 2018, the HRC collaborated with the League of Women Voters – Golden Valley chapter and the City of New Hope Human Rights Commission to host a discussion around restoring voting rights to Minnesotans convicted of felonies. The one-hour discussion was led by Jana Koreen and Elizer Darris, two members of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and was held in Council Chambers at Golden Valley City Hall. An estimated 25 individuals attended, and CCX Media recorded the discussion. Week Of Service The HRC chose to promote a “week of service” donation collection for PRISM during the week of Sept 11. Donation boxes were set up at City Hall, Brookview, and the Public Safety building for the week. It was promoted on social media and through CCX Media. Commissioners also attended the Golden Valley Arts & Music Festival Sept 15 to solicit donations. The results were overwhelmingly positive, garnering many donation items for PRISM. Several Commissioners also volunteered at PRISM Sept 11.

The exhibit featured 20 stories of youth in Minnesota whose families had immigrated here. Each poster also included a link to an online video of an interview with the featured young immigrant. For this event, the HRC partnered with Hennepin County Library in Golden Valley to promote the exhibit and highlight the topic of immigration. The library hosted and displayed a series of books on the topics of immigration and green cards, as well as linked to a podcast of two local businesspersons who interview “immigrants in America.” Bill Hobbs Award The HRC received three nominations for the Bill Hobbs Human Rights Award. After deliberation at the November meeting, the HRC selected local resident Rose McGee for her work with Sweet Potato Comfort Pie and promoting dialogue on race and inclusion within the community. McGee was presented the award at the Dec 18 City Council meeting. Green Card Voices brochure Presentation of Bill Hobbs Award.

Students were asked to submit written work (essay, song, or poetry) responding to one of two writing prompts under the theme of “Taking a Stand.” The HRC collected contacts at all of the schools within the districts Golden Valley serves. City staff created fliers and sample newsletter and social media posts for the schools to advertise the contest. The contest was also advertised on the City website and social media sites, as well as with in the SunPost. Commissioners Mitchell and Peck, along with a Golden Valley resident (and former teacher), judged the two received submissions and selected a winner. The winner received tickets to the General Mills- sponsored MLK Day event and a $50 cash prize. HRC Communications and Website Resources The HRC wanted to provide more opportunities for residents and visitors to find information on human rights, and potentially direct them to resources. Commissioners selected a number of other government/public websites with information on human rights to link on the City’s HRC webpage. The Commission also worked with the City’s Communications Department to make some changes to the HRC website to make it more user-friendly.

Executive Summary Golden Valley Council/Manager Meeting May 14, 2019 Agenda Item 2. Narrow Lots Prepared By Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager Summary The City Council has asked staff to prepare a summary of the regulations and issues surrounding “narrow lots” in the City (determined to be those less than 65 feet in width), especially as they relate to recent tax parcel divisions that have resulted in the construction of new homes on lots as narrow as 40 feet. Background In 2017, staff briefed the City Council on an emerging area of concern that had previously not been well-addressed in the City Code. At that time, a handful of properties had applied to Hennepin County to be assigned a second Property ID (PID) in order to utilize two platted lots where previously only one PID has existed. This action permitted new homes to be built on lots that were narrower than what current subdivision regulations allow and that were often of a different character than adjacent homes. Neighbors of these properties had approached staff and Council Members with questions and concerns that prompted a conversation with the City Attorney and the League of Minnesota Cities to understand what authority the City might have to regulate these tax parcel divisions. It was determined that since these divisions were administrative in nature (assigning new PIDs) and did not involve platting, the usual regulations regarding subdivisions did not apply and the City had no authority to prevent the utilization of these narrow lots as long as zoning regulations were being met – regulations such as setbacks, height, structure width, side wall articulation, etc. The lots now being separated were platted early in the City’s history as residential development began to occur in the mid to late 1910s after the Luce Line Railroad was constructed. The first zoning code in Golden Valley wasn’t adopted until 1938, which set the minimum lot width at 75 feet. Because of this delay, plats recorded in the preceding years resulted in lots of 60, 50, and even 40 feet in width – similar to what was being platted in the Minneapolis neighborhoods to the east. Many new property owners purchased two or even three of these lots and built one home across them, resulting in properties that appeared and acted as 80 or 100 foot lots even though the underlying property lines remained. It wasn’t until the structures on these lots began to age and it became economical to tear down a single home and sell the individual lots for new homes that this issue appeared on the radar of staff. The City Council, at the Council/Manager session in November of 2017, directed staff to develop language to include in the zoning code that would help manage these tax parcel divisions while not preventing them from occurring. Staff worked to include standards around obtaining surveys, removing non-conforming structures, and sending notices to neighbors, and then adopted these new regulations when the City Code was recodified in 2018. Recent activity around tax parcel divisions has once again drawn attention to the topic and prompted the City Council to think about how zoning regulations might be adjusted to manage structures on some narrow lots. Analysis Side Yard Setbacks One of the main concerns being expressed by residents who live next to or in the vicinity of narrow lots is the size of the side yard setbacks that are required. The City’s zoning code uses the width of the lot to determine the minimum width of side yard setbacks: City Code Sec. 113-88. (f)(1)(c) Lot Width Side Yard Setback Lots with width 100 feet or greater 15 feet Lots with width greater than 65 feet and less than 100 feet 12.5 feet Lots with width 65 feet or less North or west side yard setback 10% of the lot width South or east side yard setback 20% of the lot width For a lot that is 50 feet wide, these regulations would require a minimum side yard setback of 5 feet on one side and 10 feet on the other. For a lot that is 40 feet wide, they would require a minimum side yard setback of 4 feet on one side and 8 feet on the other. The zoning code adopted in 1955 appears to be the first version of the City Code to use variable widths to determine side yard setbacks and to assign different setbacks to the north/west side of the lot compared to the south/east side of the lot for lots less than 70 feet wide. On a block with a series of 40 foot lots, each taking advantage of the minimum side yard setback, this could result in a distance between homes of as little as 12 feet. In contrast, a block of 100 foot lots would require at least 30 feet between homes. As part of the research on this topic in 2017, staff analyzed the various recorded plats in the city to see where there were lots of record that were 65 feet or less – either standing alone or as part of “combined lots” with a common PID (see Figure 1). A. Lakeview Heights and Lakeview Heights 1st Addition: Mostly 61 and 62 foot lots that are almost entirely built out as separate lots (very few combined) B. Glenwood View: 50 and 60 foot lots built out as separate lots with a handful of 40 foot lots C. Winnetka: 60 foot lots often built out as separate lots, but with some properties consisting of 1 ½ or 2 combined lots D. Belmont: Mostly 50 foot lots with most properties consisting of 1 ½ or 2 combined lots E. Confer and Ericksons Boulevard Gardens: 50 foot lots with most properties consisting of 2 combined lots F. Golden Valley Gardens: 50 foot lots with most properties consisting of more than 1 but less than 2 combined lots G. Delphain Heights (First, Second, and Third Units): 50 foot lots with most properties consisting of more than 1 but less than 2 combined lots H. McNair Manor: 50 foot lots with some consisting of 2 combined lots I. Glenwood: 40 foot lots with many consisting of 1 ½ or 2 combined lots Figure 1: Recorded plats in Golden Valley Plats that have a large number of properties that could split fairly easily (because they consist of exactly two lots) represent the biggest perceived threat to neighbors and are shown in red (areas D, E, and I). Plats with properties that would be more difficult to split (because they include portions of lots and would require coordination with adjacent properties) are shown in green (areas F and G). Those plats in which most of the narrow lots have already been built on individually, and therefore represent the least amount of potential change, are shown in blue (areas A, B, C, and H). Staff used computer mapping software to identify the properties across the city that could split fairly easily or with more difficulty. These are shown as red or yellow parcels in Figure 2 below. Yellow parcels are clustered in the northeast portion of the city with additional concentrations in the north-central portion of the city. Red parcels are focused primarily in the Meadow/Sunnyridge neighborhood as well as the Sumter neighborhood with a fair number also present in the area north of the Golden Valley Country Club. Figure 2: Properties consisting of more than one lot Of the roughly 6,600 single-family properties in Golden Valley, 303 are shown as red parcels – or those with the most straight-forward ability to divide. 420 are shown as yellow parcels; these would require much more coordination by property owners because two or three lots would need to be ready to sell/redevelop at the same time. There are a number of narrow lots that have already been built on within the City and their locations closely align with the plats shown above (see Figure 3 or attached map). Approximately 600 homes have been built on lots that are less than 65 feet wide using existing zoning regulations (this does not include single-family homes that are within a PUD, such as those in Hidden Lakes). Roughly 370 are between 60 and 65 feet wide and another 195 are between 50 and 60 feet wide. There are only 40 lots with homes that are less than 50 feet wide; these are almost all located in the Glenwood View plat (east of the James Ford Bell Research Center) or the Glenwood plat (the Meadow/Sunnyridge neighborhood). Figure 3: Existing homes on narrow lots Height A second area of concern from neighbors is the height of new homes on narrow lots which appear exaggerated when compared to the typical single-story ramblers they abut. Regulations around height on lots narrower than 65 feet wide are no different than those on all other single-family lots in the city – the maximum height is 28 feet as measured from the average grade at the front (street) side of the home to the mid-point of the highest pitched roof. It is important to note that this allows the actual height of the peak of the roof to extend even higher than 28 feet. Massing Other than the side wall articulation requirement, the only other zoning regulation that limits massing is the tent-shaped building envelope that forces homes that build to the side yard setback line (a common occurrence on narrow lots) to step back as they rise above 15 feet in height. Unlike homes constructed on lots greater than 65 feet wide—which have a vertical:horizontal ratio of 2:1 for the step back—narrow lots have a vertical:horizontal ratio of 4:1 which allows for a steeper roofline and provides slightly less relief for adjacent properties. Other Regulations Additional concerns have been raised regarding water runoff, tree removal, solar access, and general “neighborhood character.” In all cases, the development regulations are no different from those applied to wider residential lots in the city. Next Steps In addition to an investigation of the current situation, the City Council is also looking to staff to offer thoughts on what, if anything, can or should be done to address the concerns of neighbors. As discussed with the Council in 2017, the League of Minnesota Cities has advised staff that there are limitations on the ability of cities to regulate lots of record that are buildable under the existing zoning requirements. Unlike true subdivisions, which allow cities to set certain standards that must be met before lots can be split (minimum area, minimum width, etc.), tax parcel divisions utilize lots that have already been approved and that need no quasi-judicial action in order to allow a new home to be constructed. Cities can, however, set guidelines in order to avoid the creation of nonconformities with existing structures (requiring homes or detached structures to be modified or even demolished, for example) prior to allowing the tax parcel division to move forward. Golden Valley followed this approach with the recodification of the City Code in 2018 and now requires a survey be completed so that an accurate evaluation of the site can take place before a new PID is issued. Accepting that the City cannot simply prohibit tax parcel divisions from taking place, there remains the possibility to adjust zoning requirements in order to address narrow lots and manage the potential impacts of new homes. Side Yard Setbacks There is some room to increase the minimum side yard setbacks for narrow lots. Golden Valley requires that no principal structure be less than 22 feet wide. Subtracting that width from a 40 foot wide lot leaves up to 18 feet of width available to apply to side yard setbacks. Current regulations only require 12 feet of side yard setbacks. Golden Valley Side Yard Setback Requirements (current) Lot width South/East side yard North/West side yard Total setback amount 40 feet 8 feet 4 feet 12 feet 50 feet 10 feet 5 feet 15 feet 60 feet 12 feet 6 feet 18 feet >65 feet 12.5 feet 12.5 feet 25 feet 100+ feet 15 feet 15 feet 30 feet If the City Council is interested in increasing the minimum amount of side yard setback, there are a number of ways it could be achieved. Two examples are shown below, but other variations could also be explored. Example #1 splits the total side setback amount and applies it equally to both sides of the lot, which has the effect of increasing side yard setbacks to the north/west compared to current regulations. Boxes shaded in yellow show changes compared to the existing requirements. Golden Valley Side Yard Setback Requirements (Example #1) Lot width South/East side yard North/West side yard Total setback amount 40 feet 8 feet 8 feet 16 feet 50 feet 10 feet 10 feet 20 feet 60 feet 12 feet 12 feet 24 feet >65 feet 12.5 feet 12.5 feet 25 feet 100+ feet 15 feet 15 feet 30 feet Example #2 holds the south/east side yard setback amount constant and allows the north/west side yard to shrink as the lot width decreases. This also increases the total side setback amount. Golden Valley Side Yard Setback Requirements (Example #2) Lot width South/East side yard North/West side yard Total setback amount 40 feet 12 feet 6 feet 18 feet 50 feet 12 feet 7.5 feet 19.5 feet 60 feet 12 feet 9 feet 21 feet >65 feet 12.5 feet 12.5 feet 25 feet 100+ feet 15 feet 15 feet 30 feet It is important to note that these changes would potentially create structural nonconformities for existing homes built on narrow lots. This would prevent homeowners from constructing any additions or expansions without going to the Board of Zoning Appeals to obtain a variance. Depending on which lot widths were targeted, up to 600 homes could potentially be made nonconforming (if the regulations for all lots less than 65 feet in width were modified). It is also possible to only address some narrow lots, such as those under 50 feet in width, in order to limit the impact to existing homes while still addressing the most critical situations. Height While the City certainly retains the ability to limit the height of structures on narrow lots and to set the maximum height at a different point than for homes on wider lots (preventing the construction of a second story, for example), staff cautions the Council to be careful of creating restrictions that are too far out of line with what the current housing market seeks. In the 50s and 60s when the current housing stock on these lots was constructed, a Cape Cod or Rambler was often preferred. Today, families are looking for more bedrooms and bathrooms which means constructing two story homes. Restricting height may not stop the lots from being divided, but could impact the quality of the homes that are constructed and/or the potential sale of the lots. Massing The side wall articulation requirement can exacerbate the small setbacks because it allows bay windows and chimney chases to extend up to two feet into the side yard setback in order to provide visual interest. This requirement could be modified or removed for narrow lots. Currently, the zoning code allows for a slightly steeper angle of building envelopes for lots less than 65 feet wide. This has a potentially small effect on adjacent properties compared to the envelopes allowed for homes on wider lots. It would be possible to make the angle of all building envelopes consistent, regardless of lot width. Other Regulations Recent changes to the tree and landscape requirements in 2015 tightened the rules regarding tree removal and mitigation. Staff does not believe these need to be revisited at this time. Issues involving water runoff, solar access, and others are applied similarly regardless of lot width. Any consideration of modifications to these regulations should be looked at holistically across all types of development. Staff Request Staff would like to hear from Council Members about if, and to what extent, narrow lots present a problem that should be addressed through regulation. If there is interest in modifying the zoning code to address the construction of homes on narrow lots, staff would work with the Planning Commission to examine: 1. Which narrow lots should be addressed? All lots 65 feet in width or less? Only lots under 50 feet in width? Other selections? 2. What elements of construction on narrow lots do Council Members feel need to be studied and/or addressed? Setbacks? Height? Massing? Others? 3. What are potential unintended consequences of increased regulation of narrow lots? How would existing homes on narrow lots be impacted by being assigned a nonconforming status? Based on an examination of all of the issues that have been raised around narrow lots, staff would feel comfortable moving forward with direction from the Council to look at adjustments to side yard setbacks, the building envelope, and articulation for lots under 50 feet in width. This would: a. Focus regulation on the size of lots that have generated the greatest amount of concern (those that are 40 feet wide – roughly 175 lots) b. Limit the number of existing homes on narrow lots that could be made nonconforming by changes to zoning regulations c.

Mixed Use Zoning District Update Prepared By Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager Emily Goellner, Senior Planner/Grant Writer Summary In the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the City identified four planning districts in which redevelopment pressures are likely to occur: Downtown West, the Douglas Drive Corridor, the Golden Valley Road Light Rail Station Area, and the I-394 Corridor. In each of these planning districts, several parcels were guided for Mixed Use development. The City intends to update the I-394 Mixed Use Zoning District to be applicable to these parcels. Background Instead of having an I-394 Mixed Use District with three subdistricts based on allowed height, staff is proposing that there be a new Mixed Use Zoning District with three subdistricts based on scale of development (Neighborhood or Community) and mix of uses (including residential or focused on employment only). In the Land Use Chapter of the 2040 Comp Plan, the Neighborhood Community Mixed Use designations are described as: Neighborhood Mixed Use This category includes a mix of uses including medium-density residential and neighborhood-serving commercial, office, and institutional uses at a scale compatible with the surrounding neighborhood they are intended to serve, which is typically a small, moderate, or medium scale. These areas allow for both vertical and horizontal mixed use and does not require a mix of uses within every building. Community Mixed Use This category includes a mix of uses including high-density residential, commercial, office, institutional, and light industrial uses that serve the local market area and support the community. These areas include freestanding businesses, shopping areas, employment centers, and housing that promotes community orientation and scale. Envisioned as compact urban development areas that serve as a gateway to the city and as an activity center for the community, these areas allow for both vertical and horizontal mixed use and do not require a mix of uses within every building. The attached map shows the future land uses assigned as part of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, including the locations of these parcels designated for mixed use. In the summer and fall of 2019, the City will rezone these parcels from their existing zoning districts to the Mixed Use Zoning District. The requirements of the new Mixed Use Zoning District must be completed prior to any rezoning so that property owners understand what their new regulations will be. Staff has begun this process with discussions with the Planning Commission and aims to hold a public hearing on this subject in the late spring or early summer of 2019. The planning consultant Perkins + Will was hired by Hennepin County in 2017 to lead the development of Transit Oriented Development zoning for the station areas along the proposed Bottineau light rail line. Each of the participant cities worked to tailor the regulations to its own specific needs. Golden Valley worked with the consultants to develop conceptual zoning that could be used throughout the city. The plan is to blend elements from the existing I-394 Mixed Use Zoning District with advice from the TOD zoning consultants for the new citywide Mixed Use Zoning District. A draft version of the new Mixed Use Zoning District text is attached. While it is still being revised through ongoing conversations with the Planning Commission, it provides some initial insight into the requirements of the new district. For comparison, the following is a link to the current I-394 Mixed Use Zoning District: https://library.municode.com/mn/golden_valley/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=PTIILADE_C H113ZO_ARTIIIZODI_DIV2SPZODI_S113-97I-MIUSZODI Request Staff will cover the highlights of the draft code language with the City Council and welcomes feedback about the intent and the requirements of the district.

Enable appropriate locations within the City to evolve towards a diverse mix of compatible uses. C. Maximize integration rather than separation of uses. D. Improve connectivity for all modes of transportation. E. Provide a context suitable for high-frequency transit. F. Foster neighborhood-serving retail and service uses. The district includes specific standards for building form, height, bulk, and placement in order to encourage development that enhances walkability, frames the public realm, and seamlessly transitions to adjacent development. 2. District Established Properties must be developed in the manner provided for in Section 113-29. The district and/or any subsequent changes to it shall be reflected in the Official Zoning Map of the City as provided in Section 113-56. 3. Subdistricts Subdistricts of the Mixed Use Zoning District reflect the character of the surrounding areas and support the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. Subdistrict A – This subdistrict includes a mix of uses including medium-density residential and neighborhood-serving commercial, office, and institutional uses at a scale compatible with the surrounding neighborhood they are intended to serve, which is typically a small, moderate, or medium scale. These areas allow for both vertical and horizontal mixed use and do not require a mix of uses within every building. Subdistrict B – This subdistrict includes a mix of uses including high-density residential, commercial, office, and institutional uses that serve the local market area and support the community. These areas include freestanding businesses, shopping areas, employment centers, and housing that promotes community orientation and scale. Envisioned as compact urban development areas that serve as a gateway to the city and as an activity center for the community, these areas allow for both vertical and horizontal mixed use and do not require a mix of uses within every building. Subdistrict C – This subdistrict is similar to Subdistrict B, but the focus is on employment in a variety of settings, including light industrial uses. No residential uses are allowed in these areas. 4. Building and Site Standards A. Front Yards. i. Building façades must be located within the minimum and maximum front yard setbacks. ii.
