Councilmember James stated that the City has a long tradition of involvement in the community and on Earth Day weekend, there were multiple organized clean-ups efforts, including the Lions Club clean up of University Avenue. Also, about 82 volunteers gathered for the Heights Next organization which partnered with other groups in order to clean up Central Avenue and five parks. She noted that they were able to gather 42 bags of trash off 7 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 22, 2024 City Council Meeting Page 3 Central Avenue. She stated that City staff had also participated in Earth Day clean up at LaBelle Park and encouraged people to spend additional time during April cleaning up their local areas. Councilmember Jacobs stated that she had participated in the very first Earth Day in Illinois and, at that time, had actually served a three-day suspension for ditching school. She stated she was thankful that what was started so many years ago was still a recognized day. Mayor Márquez Simula noted that she and her husband were picking up trash bags on Central Avenue, went over to University Avenue, and saw the Fire Department also picking up trash along a few blocks of University Avenue. D. Central Avenue Future Improvements. Interim City Manager Hansen provided an overview of MnDOT’s final report findings that is expected to be released in May. It will provide information and options on right-sizing Central Avenue, which includes fewer lanes of traffic near Minneapolis and more lanes near I-694, and talk about potentially adding bicycle facilities on Central Avenue. Interim City Manager Hanson described anticipated improvements for Central Avenue and reviewed next steps for implementing improvements and construction on Central Avenue. It was noted that MnDOT will be sharing concept designs to the public and collecting feedback with a goal of working towards a preferred design. Roadway design and outreach will continue through 2025 and into 2026. He encouraged anyone who had questions to contact the City. Mayor Márquez Simula noted there will be some public engagement this summer but noted MnDOT has been doing that for about the last five years and encouraged anyone interested to get involved and give their feedback. Councilmember Buesgens stated she was very excited about this and asked about the $2,000,000 grant the City had received for the 43rd to 47th safety improvements and if that was on top of the $25,000,000 MnDOT had set aside or if it would be incorporated into that amount. Interim City Manager Hansen stated they have not yet received the $2,000,000 and explained the grant award was part of the MnDOT safety improvement program called Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and the City would need to request that the money be reappropriated to the 2028 work. He stated they basically have to ask for those funds to be delayed until the 2028 program. Councilmember Buesgens thanked MnDOT for dedicating $25,000,000 for this project and reiterated her excitement about creating more safety on the streets. Mayor Márquez Simula noted that the reasons MnDOT has said they are doing this project was for safety and noted that their goal was zero deaths. 8 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 22, 2024 City Council Meeting Page 4 CONSENT AGENDA Mayor Márquez Simula asked if the Council could have a bit more information on items #6 and #8.

He explained that item #6 was to allocate the use of funds and authorize expenditures using 2023 Public Safety Aid. He noted that in 2023, the City had received funds from the State legislature for specific uses related to Police and Fire. He explained that this item had been reviewed with the Council at the April Work Session and this uses part of those funds for items listed within the packet, such as wages, wages adjustments, and needs for both Police and Fire. He noted that item #8 was related to a Professional Services For Development of Safe Streets For All Citywide Safety Action Plan related to engineering services. He noted this project was being funded through two grants the City had received, one from the Federal government for planning, which covered 80% of the costs and one through MnDOT for a supplemental grant that takes care of the City match, which was 20% of the costs.

PUBLIC HEARINGS 13. No Public Hearings. ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION Ordinances and Resolutions 14. Second reading of Ordinance 1695, Creating a Time of Sale requirement Within the City of Columbia Heights. Community Development Director Chirpich explained that Ordinance 1695 had its first reading at the April 8, 2024, City Council meeting, a public hearing was held for the ordinance, and written testimony was received from the local realtors association discussing the issue. After deliberation, the Council voted unanimously to move the ordinance for its second reading. He gave a brief overview on the goals of the Time of Sale requirement this would create in the City and noted if approved , it would go into effect 30 10 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 22, 2024 City Council Meeting Page 6 days from now, on May 22, 2024. He stated that staff recommends the City Council waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance 1695. Councilmember Jacobs stated that she recognizes the necessity of being able to identify the negligence and unpermitted repairs that have taken place within the older housing stock, but she has had dozens of calls from residents who are against this action. She explained their general feeling is that there may have been other methods that could have been investigated. For example, an independent sewer inspection rather than one done by someone who would benefit financially from this process, such as a real estate agent. She stated that she had seen the pictures of homes, the work that has been done, and acknowledges it is alarming that these things are happening and people are moving into unsafe homes. She explained that she has mixed feelings about how she will move forward on a vote, but if she votes against this ordinance, she wanted it to be clear that it was not because she did not recognize the need. Councilmember James stated that she has received two questions from residents. She was aware that the City had staffing for these inspections and asked about the general timeline for how long it would take to get an inspection and who would be doing them. She stated the other question was related to the sewer inspection and she wanted to clarify that there would not be corrective action required. Community Development Coordinator Forney explained that related to the timeline, right now, they could have an inspection scheduled for tomorrow morning with Ryan’s current schedule. He stated that, in general, he expects inspections to be completed within 24-48 hours, prior to adding another inspector, who will focus solely on this program along with some of the rental inspections. He stated Councilmember James was completely correct with regard to the sewer inspections and this would not be a ‘you have to fix this’ situation, but simply something that the buyer needs to be aware of. He noted that the sewer inspection program would be much more widely brought about within the Twin Cities area because the Met Council is starting to hammer down on the I&I coming in. Councilmember James stated she had heard concerns with the timeline but she knows the City is currently very quick with inspections and thinks that adding another inspector will mean the timeline will not be an issue. She stated that other cities she has talked to are also thinking about requiring the sewer inspections. She was excited for the City to have the opportunity to help the houses be better and understands that bringing things up to code comes at a financial cost but they do not want their residents living in unsafe situations. Councilmember Spriggs stated that he was in support of this program , excited for it, and believes it will be a big step forward for the health and safety of the community. He noted he had personal experience with this type of situation when he and his wife were looking at homes last year and their inspection showed multiple issues that would cost over $70,000 to address. 11 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 22, 2024 City Council Meeting Page 7 Councilmember Buesgens stated that in response to the comment by Councilmember Jacobs about there being other choices, if there had been other choices, she felt that they would have already surfaced. She feels that the City needed to work on keeping the homes safe for people who move into the City and it was the Council’s job to make sure their homes are safe. She was excited about this new program. Mayor Márquez Simula stated that has been discussed for a very long time and she trusts that City staff has brought forward the best plan of how to address these issues. She stated that she also supported this program. Motion by Councilmember Buesgens, seconded by Councilmember James, to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1695, there being ample copies available to the public. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0. Motion by Councilmember Buesgens, seconded by Councilmember James, to adopt Ordinance No. 1695, being an ordinance amending chapter 5a of the Columbia Heights City Code to establish the Certificate of Property Maintenance and its associated requirements, and amending parallel references to reflect the section change, and direct staff to send a summary of the ordinance as presented, for publication in the legal newspaper. 4 Ayes, 1 Nay. Motion Carried 4-1. Ayes: Buesgens, James, Spriggs, and Márquez Simula. Nay: Jacobs. 15. Consideration of a Rental License Exemption for 3806 Jackson Street NE. City Planner Boucher explained that on April 17, 2024, the owner of 3806 Jackson Street NE, reached out to the Community Development Department requesting an exemption from the single-family rental density cap. The property is located on Block 143 with six single-family rentals out of 38 total single-family units and an allotment of four single- family rentals. He stated that if approved, the City would grant a temporary rental license exemption to the homeowner with a few additional requirements. He noted that the applicant was available via Teams if the Council would like to speak to him. Mayor Márquez Simula noted that the Council had received the letter from Luke Schilmoeller to the City and asked if he had anything to add for their consideration. Mr. Schilmoeller explained he just wanted to reiterate points he made in his letter that when he purchased the home in October of 2023 it was his primary residence along with a few of his friends. He stated that he got married in January of 2024 and since his wife works in Stillwater, they moved closer to her job. He explained that he had not intended to cause a problem or not follow the rules. His goal had been to live in this property but life and circumstances changed. He clarified that he was asking the Council to work with him, noting he was not an investor or trying to flip the home and would like to continue to make the community better. He explained that he did not want to essentially be punished for his life circumstances changing and he would love for his home and the guys currently living in it to continue to be part of the community. 12 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 22, 2024 City Council Meeting Page 8 Councilmember Jacobs asked if there were currently six rentals on this block and if this home would be seven rentals. Community Development Director Chirpich stated there were currently five rentals on this block and this home would be a sixth rental, but noted that the next item on the agenda is also an exemption request on the same block. Assistant Fire Chief O’Brien provided the Council with a historical run down of the licensing for the property. He explained that Mr. Schilmoeller purchased the property in July of 2023 and at the time of sale, it was a rental property and licensed with the City. He stated that the sale was prior to the rental density cap, and the license could have been transferred to the new owner. He stated that Mr. Schilmoeller was going to live in the home, so the license was not transferred, but staff was not aware that it was no longer a rental property and had sent a renewal letter this spring, which is how this all came to light. Councilmember James asked if the home had passed inspections the last time it was licensed as a rental. Assistant Fire Chief O’Brien stated that the property had an exterior inspection for the license for this year and believes that it passed. He explained that the exterior inspections are automatic for them and reiterated they were not aware that it was no longer a rental. Councilmember James asked Mr. Schilmoeller if the intent was to continue to rent the property to the close friends who are currently there, but he was just no longer living there. Mr. Schilmoeller stated that was correct. Councilmember Spriggs stated that this item and the next on the agenda are examples of one of the main concerns he had about passing the last ordinance. He stated the City is aiming to prevent large corporations from coming in and buying up their single -family homes. But, now, there have been multiple situations like this where someone has run into some type of life situation where they need one year to rent the house and if the City denies that he did not see what they would be moving forward in the goal of preventing large corporations to come in. He explained that he would be voting in favor of both items on tonight’s agenda to be exempted. Councilmember Jacobs asked if Mr. Schilmoeller currently had renters in the home. Mr. Schilmoeller stated that he does have renters in the home and explained they ha d previously been his roommates before he moved out when he got married. Councilmember Jacobs stated that in response to Councilmember Spriggs, in part, the City wanted to limit the number of corporate landlords, but also wanted to create some kind of cap in order to provide a quality of life, maintain properties within the neighborhood, and 13 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 22, 2024 City Council Meeting Page 9 to make the properties available as affordable housing. She stated she would agree that corporate landlords are a big issue, but thinks the purpose for this was wider than that single goal. Councilmember Spriggs stated he would agree the City needs affordable housing for people to own and buy, but everyone is not at the place and time in their lives to buy. He felt that assuming someone who is renting a home rather than owning it would have a different quality of life is the wrong assumption. Councilmember Buesgens asked Mr. Schilmoeller if his former roommates were paying rent even though he had already moved out. Mayor Márquez Simula stated that Mr. Schilmoeller had already answered that question when Councilmember Jacobs had asked it. Councilmember Buesgens asked if Mr. Schilmoeller was aware that he could not collect rent until he has a rental license, if he is able to get one. Mr. Schilmoeller explained that was part of why he wanted to be part of this meeting so he could understand the situation and learn how he can abide by the rules. He stated that his goal was to honor the rules in getting a rental license for the home and noted that as a first-time home buyer he did not understand all of these details. He stated this house was previously a rental property and explained that his goal had originally been not to ever make it a rental property. But now that he has gotten married and moved closer to his wife’s job, his goal is to abide by the rules. He was hoping to get grandfathered in since this had previously been a registered rental property when he purchased it. He noted that he was happy to pay the fees and go through the necessary inspections and assured the Council that he was not trying to take advantage of the system. He stated he had just turned 24 and was excited to buy his first home, but life changed, and was now asking the City to extend him some grace in this situation and walk alongside him to help him to do it all correctly. Councilmember Buesgens stated the reason she had voted for this ordinance was to deal with corporate landlords but also to increase the housing stock for homebuyers. She understands that life circumstances can change, but she does not feel that Mr. Schilmoeller’s circumstances meet her standard for support of the request. Councilmember James stated in this specific case, this house was a rental in the past, had passed inspections, has people living in it that have already been part of the community, and the term is only for one year. She noted that part of the original goal was to look at the big picture and this would still be a house that would eventually be on the market in the City. She explained that in this specific instance, she was in favor of granting the exemption. She stated she would agree with Councilmember Buesgens that until a rental license is granted, Mr. Schilmoeller cannot receive rent. 14 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 22, 2024 City Council Meeting Page 10 Mayor Márquez Simula stated that she agreed with Councilmember James. Councilmember Jacobs stated her concern was that Ms. Schilmoeller has been collecting rent knowing that it was an unlicensed unit and the next item on the agenda is also in the same block and the cap for that area is four. She stated if this is approved, it would bring the number to six and if the next item is approved, that would bring it to seven which is almost double the cap that the City has set. Motion by Councilmember Spriggs, seconded by Councilmember Jacobs, to waive the reading of Resolution 2024-033, there being ample copies available to the public. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0. Motion by Councilmember Spriggs, seconded by Councilmember James, to adopt Resolution 2024-033, a resolution approving the single-family rental exemption request for the rental application at 3806 Jackson Street NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421. 3 Ayes, 2 Nays. Motion Carried 3-2. Ayes: Spriggs, James, and Márquez Simula. Nays: Buesgens and Jacobs. 16. Consideration of a Rental License Exemption for 3857 Quincy Street NE. City Planner Boucher explained that on April 17, 2024, the owner of 3857 Quincy Street NE, reached out to the Community Development Department requesting an exemption from the single-family rental density cap. The property is located on Block 143 with six single family rentals out of 38 total single-family units and an allotment of four single family rentals. He noted that this residence is located on the same block as the previous agenda item. He stated that if approved, the city would grant a temporary rental license exemption to the homeowner with a few additional requirements. He explained that the property owner was in attendance at the meeting. Absaar and Anum Hadi, applicants, stated they purchased this home about six weeks ago and were unaware of the ordinance related to a cap on rentals. He stated that during the contract process they signed a document saying that they would not live in the house for more than 14 days per year and their mortgage company also will not allow them to sell the house within a year of purchase. Councilmember Buesgens asked if Mr. Hadi could provide the City with documents that state, in writing, that the mortgage company will not allow them to sell the prope rty within the first year. Mr. Hadi confirmed that he can provide that documentation. Councilmember Buesgens stated she would need to see that before making a decision and noted that it was not included in the packet. Mayor Márquez Simula asked if that meant that Councilmember Buesgens wanted to table this item until they received this documentation. 15 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 22, 2024 City Council Meeting Page 11 Councilmember Buesgens stated that she would think so, depending on what the other Councilmembers felt. She stated she had worked as a closer in the past and everything should be in writing, noting their realtor should have informed them of this situation. But, Mr. Hadi also should have done his own homework before they purchased the investment property because various cities have different rules about rental properties. She clarified that the documentation is something she would have liked to see, but she did not need it. Councilmember Jacobs stated that she agreed with Councilmember Buesgens and would like to see the documentation that states that Mr. Hadi cannot sell the home for one year. She stated that related to the exemption just approved, she would see this situation as being far more qualifying than the previous item, but reiterated this would put the block at seven rental properties and the cap is four, which is prohibitive to her. She would also echo Councilmember Buesgens that their realtor should have informed them of this, but it was their responsibility to do the research and know the circumstances and rules for any type of business they may go into. She noted that she was empathetic to their situation but explained if this comes to a vote tonight, she could not vote in favor, even though she felt this had a greater need than the previous exemption had shown. Councilmember Spriggs stated that this was not how he thinks of ‘cracking down on’ in terms of applying for rental exemptions. He stated with the exemption they can apply for one year and then the house would be able to be sold back on the market so he was in favor of granting this exemption. Councilmember James asked what Mr. Hadi’s plan would be if the rental license exemption was approved and if the home was up to rental codes. Mr. Hadi explained that they do not have renters, but did have some interest. He stated they would be looking to sell the property as soon as their mortgage company would allow it, since they would not be able to renew the rental licensing. He stated that the property is currently up to rental code. Assistant Fire Chief O’Brien stated that the property was purchased in January 31, 2024 from a corporation, TRS, LLC, which is an affiliate of Progress Residential, which was formerly known as Havenbrook Homes. He stated it has been a rental property since it went through foreclosure in 2012 when it was purchased by a Havenbrook affiliate. Mayor Márquez Simula stated if this is approved, the rental license would only be valid for a year unless three of the other homes on their block sold and were no longer rentals. Councilmember Buesgens stated she understands there is a hardship, but feels this is different than the previous item because Mr. Hadi entered into this as a business and not a personal situation. She reiterated the importance of doing your homework as a business within the City. 16 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 22, 2024 City Council Meeting Page 12 Councilmember Jacobs asked if there would be any chance that they could re-negotiate the mortgage rather than having to wait a year to sell. Mr. Hadi stated the way it was explained to him by his lender, when you pull a mortgage and it is sold off, the company wants to have a certain amount of payments before they refinance or sell the home. Councilmember Buesgens asked if the Council wanted to table this item so they could see the document from the mortgage company. Councilmember Jacobs confirmed that she would be in favor of tabling until they could see this documentation, but clarified she was not sure if her decision would be different. Councilmember Buesgens stated she would also be open to that. Motion by Councilmember Jacobs , seconded by Councilmember Buesgens, to table Consideration of a Rental License Exemption for 3857 Quincy Street NE, until the applicant can provide documentation from the mortgage company about resale of the home. 3 Ayes, 2 Nays. Motion carried 3-2. Ayes: Jacobs, Buesgens, and Márquez Simula. Nays: Spriggs and James. 17. Consideration of Approval of Temporary One-year Rental License. Assistant Fire Chief O’Brien explained this consideration is for approval of a one-year temporary rental housing license application, which is the first ever presented to the Council, to operate a rental unit within the City of Columbia Heights for the property located at 4411 6th Street NE. He explained that following the revocation of the rental license for this property for non-renewal of the 2023 rental occupancy license the City in October 2023, the property was not eligible for a new rental license because it is in an area that exceed the City’s rental density limit for detached single-family properties. In January 2024, the property owner applied for an exemption which the Council and the property had also passed a zoning review and rental inspection earlier this month. He explained that the applicant had paid the application and reinstatement fees. He gave an overview of the process for renewal of a temporary rental license. Councilmember Buesgens asked if there were any extenuating circumstances behind the reason this was allowed to go through other than that they missed the timeline for the application. She also asked if there were any extenuating circumstances as to why they are not selling or taking care of this property and applying for a second year license. Assistant Fire Chief O’Brien stated he did not know of any extenuating circumstances behind the original reason this was allowed. He explained that once the Council approved this in January, the City sent a notice outlining what needed to happen. He noted if the Council approves the license this evening, they will, in January or February of 2025, send out a renewal notice and they will need to have everything completed by April 30, 2025. 17 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 22, 2024 City Council Meeting Page 13 Mayor Márquez Simula stated that the Council had just voted on this in January with the idea that they would then follow through with this action. Motion by Councilmember Jacobs, seconded by Councilmember James, to adopt Resolution Number 2024-035, being Resolution of the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights approving a one-year temporary rental housing license pursuant to City Code of the rental license listed. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0. CITY COUNCIL AND ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Report of the City Council Councilmember Buesgens attended the Sustainability Commission meeting and noted that they were in the final stages of finishing the Sustainable Purchasing Policy and are continuing work on the Complete Streets Policy. She thanked the volunteers who took time to clean up Central Avenue and noted that it looks great. She attended the swearing in for the City’s new Police Officer, Jennifer Cortez. She stated that volunteers helped her build a Hǘgelkultur in Blooming Sunshine Garden. She had also worked with the Council to interview two of the Captains who are vying for the Police Chief position. She attended the City Services Expo and had conversations with residents whom she had not met before. She attended the National Planning Conference with staff who had volunteered some of the City facilities for tours. She had also attended the art show, Pearl of the Mississippi, and stated that it was still in the entryway for anyone who was interested in viewing it. She worked with the Council on the City Manager search and had also recently attended a drum karaoke night at the new business across the street, called Clash Drum, which was really fun. She noted that Alice Cooper will be coming to Clash Drum in August. She stated that she also took her husband on an outing to The Golden Nuts shop on Central which was wonderful and encouraged people to go check them out. Councilmember James stated that she had attended the Charter Commission meeting, noted that there is an opening for a new member, and asked interested parties to apply by June 14, 2024. She stated since the last Council meeting, she met with some local leaders regarding the Public Safety aid and ways they could work to prevent violence in their cities. She attended the Council Work Session and the City Expo and thanked City staff that had attended. She noted there are still employment opportunities available on the City website if they were not able to make it to the Expo. She had also attended the Art Show and the City Manager interviews. She stated for the Earth Day clean up, she wanted to mention that one of the interesting things about the hands-on service was the implications for policy and noted that much of the trash was mini liquor bottles and cigarettes. She stated that this brought to mind how they may want to use the municipal liquor stores and possible ways to encourage businesses to provide trash receptacles. She had also signed on to two pieces of advocacy: the Housing Stability Act, HF #3640; and HF #4413. Councilmember Jacobs attended the swearing in of the new Police Officer and the meetings for the selection of the City Manager and Police Chief. She stated 27 residents had reached out to her on the ordinance discussed earlier on the agenda. She also wanted to bring up something that is a concern of hers. She explained that the Council Corner is a mechanism for 18 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 22, 2024 City Council Meeting Page 14 Councilmembers, not staff, to discuss non-business items. She explained that because of its failure as a monthly meeting, they placed it the end of a regular Work Session agenda. She stated that Council Corner has never been, nor should it be , a mechanism where any business item should ever be discussed. However, at the April Work Session, a proposed chicken ordinance was placed under the Council Corner, which would clearly not qualify for that place in the meeting. She stated after that meeting, she was frustrated that the appropriate policies were either being ignored or manipulated to accommodate potential desires of individual Councilmembers. She was not aware of any proposed ordinance or ordinance amendment ever being discussed in a non-business format and noted that business items deserve unbiased discussion, transparency, and for staff to make the appropriate presentation . She felt that what happened at the last Work Session violated the residents’ expectation that the business needs of the community were being fairly considered over the personal needs or desires of any single Councilmember. She explained that her intent was to see this ordinance proposal placed on the May Work Session agenda for the full presentation and discussion and that anything less would be an attempt to circumvent the process. Councilmember Spriggs stated he attended many of the same things already mentioned by the other Councilmembers such as the meetings regarding the City Manager and Police Chief interviews. He also attended the City Service Expo which seemed to have a good turn -out. He noted that he and Mayor Márquez Simula meet earlier today with a tenant’s group based in the City to discuss current concerns and possible actions moving forward. Mayor Márquez Simula stated that she would like to address the comments made by Councilmember Jacobs regarding the Work Session meeting. She explained at that meeting , the Council had discussed if the City should have a chicken ordinance and the consensus was that they could look into more data and that none of them had heard much about it from their constituents. She stated that following their discussion, she felt the Council had all agreed the Council would look at data and asked staff to bring them more information in the future. She stated that it was basically tabled to come back at some point in the future. She stated that she felt the way that Councilmember Jacobs had described the discussion was misleading. Councilmember Jacobs stated she wanted to be clear that she had not brought that idea to Council Corner. She stated it was submitted by somebody else and she would never have wanted that discussion to take place under Council Corner. She explained her overarching point is that she did not feel that discussion belonged under Council Corner and she hoped the Council would be willing to take it under consideration in an appropriate format, which would be on the main Work Session agenda. She noted staff in Community Development have worked on this for almost 18 months and other cities have this type of thing, so this would not be extraordinary. She felt it was something that the City should address because more and more people are having chickens than they did four or five years ago and it was being brought forward by individuals in the community. She stated that, at the very least, she would like the Community Development staff to be able to bring forward the work they have put into this topic. Mayor Márquez Simula asked if Councilmember Jacobs felt the correct way to make sure that staff had the option to bring this forward was to write a letter to the newspaper rather than just 19 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 22, 2024 City Council Meeting Page 15 discussing it with the Council and asking for it to be placed on the Work Session agenda. She felt that Councilmember Jacobs had written to the newspaper to imply that no one was listening to her ideas when everyone at the end of the discussion said that they wanted to see more data. Councilmember James stated she understood that the Council Corner was for non-business meeting items, but there was also a separate conversation that the Council would be able to bring up items for discussions at a future Work Sessions. She suggested that part of the problem may be that it is labeled Council Corner and is really just more ‘new’ items for discussion as brought forward by the Council. She did not remember them agreeing to have it named Council Corner on the Work Session agenda and thought that adding it to the end of the agenda was for things the Council had not yet directed staff to work on. She does not know how this item had been added to the agenda and agreed if it was something that staff was working on, it should not be listed under Council Corner. She thinks that many ideas get brought up and then they see if there is agreement before they move forward in working on them. Mayor Márquez Simula stated she agreed and the way she sees it is that many communities, during their Work Sessions, have an item, despite its name, that Council has an opportunity to bring information up. She noted that in the past, for example, Councilmember James had brought up tenant rights and asked if it could be something that they discuss. She stated that does not limit their discussion. She understands this was an item that Councilmember Jacobs had been working on with staff, but clarified that in no way was it intended to diminish the item by discussing it under Council Corner. She stated she felt the Council all gave it their full attention and had all said that they would like to see more data and asked staff to bring that back. She explained the Council had followed through with Councilmember Jacobs’ request. Councilmember Jacobs clarified that it was not her request. Mayor Márquez Simula stated she had been told that it was done at Councilmember Jacobs’ request. Councilmember Jacobs reiterated that it was not her request and explained that she had been told it would be on a Work Session agenda, which was a request that she had been making over the last year or so, but reiterated that she had not asked for it to be placed on Council Corner. Mayor Márquez Simula stated that sounded like it was a request because no one else on the Council had asked to talk about this topic. Councilmember Jacobs reiterated that she had not asked for it to be placed on Council Corner but had worked with staff on this issue. She stated she was told that it would be placed on an upcoming Work Session agenda, which is where she felt it should have been. Mayor Márquez Simula stated that it was discussed at a Work Session. Councilmember Jacobs stated that it was under Council Corner where the Council should not be taking care of business items. 20 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 22, 2024 City Council Meeting Page 16 Mayor Márquez Simula stated that everyone is welcome to come to a Work Session and everyone is able to talk about all of the items whether they are called ‘old business’, ‘new business’, or ‘staff directed items’. She felt Councilmember Jacobs implying that something was not addressed was both rude and disingenuous to the rest of the Council. Mayor Márquez Simula stated that she had attended the Sister Cities meeting, the Senior Consortium meeting, Rotary meeting, swearing in for Officer Jennifer Cortez, Youth Commission meeting, read books to 4th graders at Valley View Elementary, attended the City Services Expo, and toured and helped out at the new brewery that will be opening next month at Railworks. She had also attended the National Planning Conference and commended Assistant City Manager Chirpich for doing a fantastic job of talking with all of the attendees and answering questions about City Hall and the Ratio Apartments. She stated the City hosted an art exhibit for the Mississippi River Pearl, which is part of Art to Change the World and noted it will remain in the lobby at City Hall for the next three weeks and then it will move to the library. She noted that it is a public work of art that is designed to be touched and recommended people bring their kids and learn about how pollution impacts the world. She stated the Council held interviews for the City Manager and Police Chief positions and thanked the community for being part of that process through the on-line survey and helping with interviews. She had also attended the Earth Day clean-up event and stated that one trash item she saw reduced from the last few years was disposable masks. She stated that she and Councilmember Spriggs attended a meeting with The Legends and their rental tenant consortium. She also had a meeting with Commissioner Meisner to get an update on things happening within the County. She stated that also earlier today was the appeals meeting for taxes. She stated she has also gone to The Golden Nuts, which has amazing food. Mayor Márquez Simula noted that tonight is the Council’s last meeting with Police Chief Austin and read aloud a statement about how he had welcomed her with open arms when she became mayor. She stated that Police Chief Austin had a steadfast commitment to embedd ed social workers, officer wellness, and felt that improved community policing has marked his leadership in the City. She sincerely thanked him for his leadership, integrity, compassion and wished him well in his retirement. There was a round of applause and a standing ovation for Police Chief Austin. Police Chief Austin thanked Mayor Márquez Simula for the kind words and stated that he has been with the City a little over 29 years and has been in this line of work for almost 35 years. He stated that his 29 years in Columbia Heights have really flown by and he has been fortunate to have a job that he has enjoyed almost every single day. He stated the Department has done some really great things and has some really great officers but noted that things do n ot get done unless they have the support of the elected leaders. He was thankful that this has not been a struggle for them. He expressed his appreciation to the current and previous Councils for their support. 21 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 22, 2024 City Council Meeting Page 17 Report of the City Manager Interim City Manager Hansen stated one thing he will miss when Police Chief Austin retires is his sense of humor. He stated the Council had mentioned the volunteer efforts for Earth Day and noted that City web page had additional volunteer opportunities available on the Community Page. He stated nominations for Outstanding Citizen close next Monday and the two categories are for ages 14-18 and 18+. He stated the City-wide garage sale is coming up and noted if people want their sale registered so it will appear on the mapping system, they need to register beginning on May 1, 2024. He stated he had the opportunity meet with the Polish American Cultural Institute of Minnesota and discussed possible locations for where their artwork will go and noted that it is scheduled for September 21, 2024. COMMUNITY FORUM Laurel Deneen, City resident, noted that she also serves on the Planning Commission and explained that she would like to propose that the City consider revising its City Code to permit accessory dwelling units (ADU) on residential properties. She outlined area cities that have already made similar changes and outlined some of the benefits that ADUs could bring to the community. Ahmad stated that his cousin owns The Golden Nuts and was glad to hear that the Councilmembers had enjoyed it. Ed Higgins, City resident, stated he would like to bring up three things for Council consideration. The first would be tobacco licenses and the possibility of revisiting the number in the City. He noted that he was not a fan of tobacco and its carcinogens, but felt tobacco that does not have carcinogens and hookah is culturally important. He would like to ask the City to think about extending licenses for additional hookah or tobacco stores in the City. He also wanted to discuss food trucks and noted that he could not find anything on the City website that stated their policy as to how long a food truck can stay in one place. He noted he had clients in the City that told him they had been told they can only have one food truck in their parking lot for 30 days and then they have to move. He also wanted to bring up the possibility of a dog park in the City. Kathy Cooper, City resident, stated that she has been a resident of the City for 25 years and introduced her fiancé who has lived with her for the past two years. She has three issues she would like to bring to the Council’s attention. She explained that she has concerns that the Columbia Heights Police Department was not taking seriously her reports of crimes against vulnerable adults and they have not been helpful assisting those individuals to get the necessary protective orders in place. She stated a group of them met with the Police Department about a year ago and they refused to watch a video called Deception of Protection – Anatomy of an Involuntary Guardianship, which explains the rising crime of adult guardianship exploitation. She noted that right before the meeting tonight , she had received a return phone call from Captain Johnston and set up an appointment to meet with him later in the week. She stated her second item is that since November of 2020, Jessie Davies, the Refuse and Recycling Coordinator, has refused to honor her requests to make reasonable accommodations for her disabilities with regard to yard waste collection. She stated in 2017 or 2018 , a snow plow driver took down her mailbox and at that time the Public Works Department repaired it, but the repair has not 22 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 22, 2024 City Council Meeting Page 18 held up, so it is now very wobbly and unstable. She asked that the Council consider giving her some help with these issues, so she did not have to continue to spin her wheels. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Councilmember Buesgens, seconded by Councilmember Spriggs, to adjourn. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0. Meeting adjourned at 8:12 pm. Respectfully Submitted, ______________________________________ Sara Ion, City Clerk/Council Secretary 23 Item 1. PLANNING COMMISSION City Hall—Council Chambers, 590 40th Ave NE Wednesday, July 05, 2023 6:00 PM MINUTES CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL The meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm by Chair Sahnow. Commissioners Present: Laurel Deneen, John Gianoulis, Tom Kaiser, Mike Novitsky, Eric Sahnow, Mark Vargas, Clara Wolfe Staff Present: Aaron Chirpich, Assistant City Manager/Community Development Director; Andrew Boucher, City Planner; and Alicia Howe, Administrative Assistant; Tim Stone, Architect and representative of CUP applicants APPROVE MINUTES 1. Approve May 2, 2023 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes. Motion by Wolfe, seconded by Novitsky, to approve the Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of May 2, 2023. All ayes of present. MOTION PASSED. PUBLIC HEARINGS 2. Conditional Use Permit to allow a Banquet Hall at 2201 37th Avenue NE. Boucher stated Mohamed Abdulle and Abdul Salah have hired Tim Stone to represent them and requested approval of a conditional use permit to allow a banquet hall within a portion of an existing 42,000 square foot commercial building located at 2201 37th Avenue NE. The site, located north of 37th Avenue and west of McKinley Street, was previously occupied by the Unique Thrift Store. Boucher noted the banquet hall is intended to provide assembly space for graduation, celebrations, weddings, receptions and similar events. The proposal is consistent with the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan and uses allowed in the General Business (GB) District. Section 9.107(C)(54) imposes the following required conditions for a “banquet hall” use followed by Staff comments. Boucher added that the space is one of four tenant spaces including an office, storage, retail furniture, and retail market. Boucher displayed an image of the site layout and parking study to the Planning Commission. The two retail spaces will potentially change since they are speculative at the moment. The applicant has provided a parking study as one of the conditions of approval which showed the event center peak parking demand would occur at different peak parking demand times than the other uses. A total of 161 off-street parking spaces are 24 Item 2. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES July 05, 2023 Planning Commission Page 2 required of the five proposed uses. The parking study concludes that the existing parking supply will accommodate expected parking demand based on the uses having the diff erent peaks at different hours so long as the capacity of the banquet hall does not exceed the occupant load. The applicant will be required to post the max occupancy of 311 people within the banquet space. Boucher stated Staff is in agreement with the applicant that peak parking demands for the banquet hall will likely coincide with the lower parking demands for the other uses and believe the parking provided is sufficient. They expect the peak parking demand for the banquet hall to occur Fridays and Saturdays from 7:00 pm to 2:00 am while the retail stores will have peak parking demand during the work day. Boucher mentioned the banquet hall specific development standards which include:  New construction additions and exterior materials shall be compatible with those used in the immediate neighborhood. o The applicant is proposing no exterior building modifications at this time.  An appropriate transition area between the use and adjacent property shall be provided by landscaping, screening and other site improvements consistent with the character of the community. o There is existing fencing and some landscaping in between the multifamily residential areas that Staff believe is adequate at this time.  The facility shall meet all applicable building and fire codes, and shall be licensed as required by the state or county. Boucher added that there are no changes to the existing sites access locations, no exterior site modifications, parking meets City code and ADA requirements. The applicant will provides signs when the tenants and Staff have reviewed them administratively. Boucher noted trash, handling and loading, will occur on the north side of the building and no activities of those kind are going to be used in the drive -thru lane. The use will be required to adhere to performance standards for odors, and sounds. If sounds can be observed from the neighboring properties or the right of way, then it is grounds for revoking or re-reviewing the Conditional Use Permit. Staff have not received any comments from neighboring properties owners regarding the development proposal. Boucher stated the applicant was required to provide a transportation management plan to address off street parking, bus loading and unloading traffic control and the impact of the facility on the surrounding roadways. The applicant provided a parking study that was revised to be based on Columbia Heights City code. Staff is in agreement that the amount of parking provided is sufficient. Boucher explained that all sidewalks and alleys are within 100 feet of the use shall be inspected regularly and cleared of any litter found thereon. Hall music or amplified sound shall not be audible from adjacent residential uses and must meet the requirements of City ordinances to ensure consistent enforcement by the Police Department. 25 Item 2. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES July 05, 2023 Planning Commission Page 3 Boucher reviewed the floor plan and noted both section s are allowed to hold 311 people per the occupancy code which will be required to be posted within the facility. Fire and Police have the ability to go in and inspect it. Boucher explained the findings of facts which include:  The banquet hall use is specifically listed as a conditional use in the General Business District under Section 9.110(E)(3)(c). This requirement has been satisfied.  The proposed uses are permitted within the (GB) District and as conditioned, will being harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan guiding the subject site for commercial use.  The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties if conditions related to parking management and monitoring of performance standards are satisfied.  The use will no substantially diminish the use of property in the immediate vicinity as the area includes both commercial and multiple family residential uses are not expected to negatively impact properties in the immediate vicinity.  The proposed uses will occupy an existing building and with the likely exception of new site signage at some point, no exterior changes to the site and building design are proposed. Thus, the character of the neighborhood is not expected to change.  The site is presently serviced by adequate utilities and services. No changes to public services or facilities are proposed.  Adequate parking supply will be provided upon the subject site as required and described in the parking study. In this regard, steps are being taken to minimize potential traffic congestion on public streets which could result from overflow on - street parking.  The use will not cause a negative cumulative effect, when considered in conjunction with the cumulative effect of other uses in the immediate vicinity.  In review of the application materials and recognizing that the existing building setback along McKinley Street NE represents a legal nonconforming condition, the banquet hall and other uses comply (or will comply) with all other applicable GB, General Business District regulations. Boucher stated it is Staff’s recommendation for the Planning Commission to consider the following conditions of approval. 1. All new signage shall be subject to City review and approval. 2. Loading activities shall take place on the north side of the building and the former drive-up donation lane located south of the building shall not be used for loading activities. 3. All uses within the building shall comply with the standards governing the odor emissions as adopted and enforced by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and any applicable performance standards. 4. The applicant shall adhere to any and all recommendations provided by the Public Works Department. 26 Item 2. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES July 05, 2023 Planning Commission Page 4 5. The building shall meet all applicable building and fire codes. 6. The subject site and all adjacent streets and sidewalks within 100 feet of the site shall be inspected regularly for the purposes of removing any litter found thereon. 7. No music or amplified sounds which would be audible from adjacent residential uses shall be allowed on the subject site and the site will comply. 8. All required state and local codes, permits, licenses and inspections shall be met and be in full compliance; the use of the commercial kitchen is limited to licensed caterers and alcohol providers. 9. Music performance may be allowed as an accessory use to the banquet hall for a party, banquet, wedding, reception or other social events; music performances may not be the primary function. 10. Verify exterior lighting is in working order and appropriate for the site. 11. An emergency management plan is required and shall include on-site management; functioning security cameras with 30 days of digital storage and cover the parking lot, alley, main areas, and interior spaces; how the ingress/egress will be maintained; and parking lot management to ensure that odors, noise, and any on- site alcohol consumption does not occur outside of the building. Sahnow asked if any of the Commissioners had any questions. Kaiser asked why the property owner was not looking to make any exterior modifications or landscaping upgrades. He noted the applicant is ensuring that it fits with the neighborhood character but the neighborhood directly a djacent to the property is undergoing significant changes. Tim Stone, architect and representative of the CUP applicants, replied that the majority of the frontage is parking. At this point the owner has done landscap ing and re-striping and re-tarring of the existing parking lot area. He added he assumes the owner is planning on doing some painting. Sahnow asked if Staff had additional discussions with Mr. Stone and the applicants about increasing the amount of lighting since the event center is anticipating having people there late at night. Boucher replied there have not been discussions on increasing the lighting but have discussed ensuring the lighting is in working order and that is it appropriate for the uses surrounding it since there are residential areas adjacent to the property. Sahnow asked if a lighting report would be included as a final submittal to the City. Boucher stated it could be included and added as a condition. Sahnow proposed amending condition 10 to include that the lighting report is included with the submittal to the City. Sahnow opened the public hearing. 27 Item 2.

Boucher stated Pursuant to State Statue, Section 462.356, Subdivision 2, the Planning and Zoning Commission (the “Planning Commission”) in and for the City is required to review and ultimately determine that the proposed acquisition of real property by the City’s Economic Development Authority (EDA), conforms to the Comprehensive Plan of the City. Therefore, the EDA has requested that the Planning Commission review the acquisition of 941 44th Avenue NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421 (the “Subject Property”) to determine if its acquisition conforms to the Comprehensive Plan of the City. Boucher added that the EDA has a long-standing practice of acquiring blighted single-family homes to facilitate scattered site redevelopment, and the proposed acquisition of the Subject Property responds to several goals and policies adopted in the Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, in Chapter 3: Land Use. Below are the specific goals and policies from the Comprehensive Plan that directly and indirectly correlate to the conformity of the proposed acquisition. Boucher noted the land use and redevelopment goal is to p rovide mechanisms for successful redevelopment of vacant lands and targeted areas within the community. This includes: 1. Enhance the image and viability of the Central Avenue corridor while protecting and enhancing adjacent residential areas. 2. Encourage infill development that demonstrates compatibility with existing neighborhood characteristics in terms of quality, design, building height, placement, scale, and architectural quality. Kaiser asked if the intent is to eventually become commercial since it is adjacent to a residential area. Chirpich replied that it is commercially zoned. One of the EDA’s long standing initiatives is to acquire the commercially zoned single-family homes along the corridor. It would be a hold for future commercial use in order to try to coordinate a land assembly with some of 28 Item 2. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES July 05, 2023 Planning Commission Page 6 the other commercial property owners in the vicinity. Staff expects an increased redevelopment pressure on the corner once the Rainbow site redevelops. Deneen asked what was wrong with the home that brought it to the City’s attention. Chirpich replied that he believed a Councilmember had heard that it was going to be for sale because the owner recently passed away. It is in significant disrepair and a candidate for demolition. Motion by Kaiser, seconded by Novitsky, to waive the reading of Resolution 2023-PZ04, there being ample copies available to the public. All ayes of present. MOTION PASSED. Motion by Wolfe, seconded by Vargas, to adopt Resolution 2023-PZ04, a resolution finding that the acquisition of certain land for redevelopment purposes by the Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority is consistent with the City of Columbia Heights’ Comprehensive Plan.

PUBLIC HEARINGS 2. Zoning Ordinance Amendment to Allow Limited Retail Sales in the Light Industrial (I-1) and General Industrial (I-2) Districts Introduction: Boucher stated Timothy M. LaCroix of LaCroix Law, PLLC representing Southern Anoka Community Assistance, Inc. has made an application for a zoning text amendment and is proposing limited retail sales as permitted uses in the Light (I -1) and General Industrial (I-2) Zoning districts. It is subject to required findings for zoning amendments per 9.104(F). Boucher noted that Timothy M. LaCroix of LaCroix Law, PLLC representing Southern Anoka Community Assistance, Inc. (SACA), has requested approval of a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to accommodate the establishment of retail sales in the Light Industrial (I -1) and General Industrial (I-2) Districts. The applicant currently operates a food shelf (warehousing/distribution) upon a 6,825 square foot site located at 627 38th Avenue NE (at the intersection of 38th Avenue NE and Jefferson Street NE) and intends to relo cate to a new site at 3905 California Street NE (west of Main Street NE and north of 39th Avenue NE), both of which are zoned for Light Industrial (I-1). 31 Item 3. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES October 24, 2023 Planning Commission Page 2 Boucher stated retail sales have been limited, in the Industrial Districts, to motor vehicle part stores, pawnshops, and retail services where appointments are required (tattoos, body piercing, automobile repair). SACA previously operated a thrift store/retail component which was not a permitted use and has been discontinued. The applicant plans to relocate and repurpose an existing 24,500 square foot industrial building located on the site (previously occupied by “Lamott Properties LLC”) into a food shelf and thrift store. The proposed retail sales would be limited to products manufactured, processed, or delivered in bulk and repackaged for sale on the site, so long as the sales area does not exceed 20% of the gross floor area of the principal building and shall adhere to the performance standards set forth in Section 9.106. Boucher added that the subject site (3905 California Street NE) is bordered on the north and west by industrial uses, Lomanki Park on the south, and on the east by single family dwellings. The other subject site (627 38th Avenue NE) has industrial property to the north, park and open space to the east, and the remainder of the property is surrounded by residential. Boucher stated both sites are zoned I-1, Light Industrial which currently does not make an allowance for general retail sales; as a result, the approval of a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to allow “limited retail sales” in the I-1 and I-2 Districts (as a permitted use) is required for the operation of the thrift store component. To be noted is that the requested Zoning Ordinance change would apply to all properties located within I -1, Light Industrial and I2, General Industrial Zoning Districts. Boucher mentioned minor exterior modifications to the existing site and building entrance are proposed with the building entrance reconfigured for accessibility purposes from California Street to the northern end of the property through the parking lot. New signage should also be anticipated as part of the site redevelopment. Boucher reviewed the required findings as follows: (a) The amendment is consistent with the comprehensive plan. With general development standards imposed to endure compatibility, the amendment will be in harmony with the purpose of the Comprehensive Plan. a. Saca’s existing and future facilities are identified, the properties are zoned for Light (I-1) and General Industrial (I-2). (b) The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a single property owner. The addition of limited retail sales as a use is applicable to multiple industrially zoned properties and is not solely for the benefit of a single proper ty owner. a. The Industrial Districts include businesses such as Zuccaro’s Product (retail) Minneapolis Mark (manufacturing/retail service component), Ruff Love Dogs (kennel), Total Export Inc. (professional services), Columbia Heights Recycling (City service). 32 Item 3. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES October 24, 2023 Planning Commission Page 3 (c) Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, the existing use of the property and the zoning classification of property within the general area of the property in question are compatible with the proposed zoning classification. Retail services and sales are currently allowed in the Light and General Industrial Districts by way of pawnshops, motor vehicles parts stores, and brewer taprooms all of which are more intense uses generating more business activity and traffic than the proposed addition of limited retail sales. Additionally, the retail uses allowed in these districts are typically complimentary of the other uses allowed. (d) Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, there has been a change in the character or trend of development in the general area of the property in question, which has taken place since such property was placed in i ts current zoning classification. The amendment is not to change the zoning classification of a particular property, but to accommodate a use that is already allowed in different forms but for the same purpose of providing Boucher explained that the applicant is not proposing a zoning re -classification but an expansion to the uses allowed in the Industrial Districts and reflecting the uses that allow for retail sales or services in greater intensities than what is purposed. Boucher explained to accommodate the proposed use, the applicant has requested the processing of a Zoning Ordinance amendment which would allow “limited retail sales” as a permitted use in the I-1, Limited Industrial District, and I-2, General Industrial District. Boucher stated to be noted is that “retail sales” are presently allowed in all the City’s Commercial zoning districts as permitted uses in the General Business (GB) and Central Business District. “Limited retail sales” are also allowed in the Limited Business as a conditional use (but does not have specific development standards besides limiting the retail area square footage to 2,500 sq. ft.). Boucher stated it is the opinion of Staff that limited retail sales can compatibly exist within I-1 and I-2 Districts provided various precautions are taken to address potential adverse impacts. While the Zoning Ordinance presently includes performance standards, Staff recommends that such standards be expanded to address potential adverse impacts to the residential uses in a more comprehensive manner. In this regard, the following Zoning Ordinance modifications are recommended by Staff: 1. A new definition defining “limited retail sales” and to provide clarity regarding the scope and intensity of retail sales which read as follows (new/additional conditions recommended by Staff are in bold): RETAIL SALES, LIMITED (LIMITED RETAIL SALES). Retail sales of products manufactured, process, or delivered in bulk and repackaged for sale on the site, provided that the sales area does not exceed 20% of the gross floor area of the 33 Item 3. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES October 24, 2023 Planning Commission Page 4 principal building and must adhere to the performance standards set forth in section 9.106. 2. A new use, Retail Sales, Limited added to the list of Permitted uses described in Section 9.111(D) I-1, Light Industrial District (2) and (E) I-2, General Industrial District (2): (z) RETAIL SALES, LIMITED Recommendation: Approval of the Zoning Ordinance Amendment which makes an allowance for limited retail sales as defined as a permitted use in the City’s I-1, Light Industrial District, and I-2, General Industrial District. Questions/Comments from Members: Sahnow asked how the 20% the gross floor area of the building was determined. He also asked how rezoning compared to other neighboring cities on how they zone. Boucher replied that Staff have not looked to see what other cities are doing and instead looked at what retail uses were allowed and what densities they were allowed. Chirpich added that Staff looked at the City of New Hope and found that they applied a 20% threshold in their industrial district. Deneen asked about the parking situation for the existing SACA facility and whether the new site would be able to accommodate the increased traffic. Chirpich replied that there have been complaints on lack of parking on the site. The site will expand the parking considerably and do not plan to expand the thrift store operation. He added that it will work in a parking demand perspective. Boucher stated that the gross floor area is some of the gross horizontal areas of several floors measured to the outside of the exterior walls. The building footprint is how the gross floor area is determined. Boucher explained that the Planning Commission was not approving a development request but that it was a zoning text amendment. The applicant would still need to apply for building permits. Applicant Timothy LaCroix introduced Dave Rudolph. Mr. Rudolph stated most of the people coming to the thrift store are coming to the food shelf. Public Hearing Opened. Larene St. Gabriel-Dargay, City resident, stated surrounding neighbors do not use SACA. Many neighbors have expressed concerns to her about not wanting SACA moving into their neighborhood. She added that neighbors do not understand why SACA needs to move locations if it is working in the current location. She asked why the location needs to be 34 Item 3. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES October 24, 2023 Planning Commission Page 5 moved. She added that many neighbors believe that more crime is going to move into the area. Mr. LaCroix explained that the primary reason for moving is due to the increased need in the community. There is also an increased need for parking and space. He noted that the majority of people who use SACA services are working people who need supplement al help to make ends meet. There has not been a history of increased crime due to SACA . SACA is already planning on moving and that the zoning fits the current location. Boucher explained that Staff had a development review committee which included public works, community development, the fire department and the police department. Captain Markham reviewed the crime issues that are already present and believes there is more crime due to it not being a busy area and there is more cover for crime. Increasing activity in the area could actually lower the potential of crime. Chirpich added that they discussed ways they could activate the nearby park. Ms. St. Gabriel-Dargay expressed her concerns that neighbors were not being heard and that surrounding neighbors have voiced their concerns about crime. Polly Philblad, City resident, stated that SACA has influenced her life and she had an opportunity to volunteer there. She explained she also used the services at SACA and they helped her during a difficult time in life. Public Hearing Closed.

Vacation of Existing Utility Easement and Proposed Ordinance Vacating Roadway Easements Serving 1650 40th Avenue NE and 3987 Johnson Street NE Introduction: Boucher stated that the City of Columbia Heights has made application to vacate utility and roadway easements serving the properties, 1650 40th Avenue NE and 3987 Johnson Street NE. The City is vacating these easements because the current configuration does not accurately reflect the right-of-way constructed and proposing an ordinance to create new easements to serve these properties. This is subject to required findings for easement vacations per 9.104(J) and Section 111—Vacation of Streets of the City Chapter. Chirpich explained that Johnson Street curves to make a 90 degree turn and was platted to originally in that straight, angular configuration. Staff do not know the history on how that e volved. It is creating issues for the homeowners to expand their garage. Staff recognize that it is the City’s responsibility to clean up the right-of-way issues. Sahnow asked if the easements would be redrawn. Boucher replied that they would be redrawn. Chirpich added that portions of the existing easements would remain intact in their same location but would be described differently by a surveyor. Vargas asked if there was a process for reporting the vacations of the easements to the County surveyor. Boucher replied that as the applicant, the City would be required to file the easement vacations to the County. Boucher stated that there are eight easements serving 1650 40th Avenue NE and 3987 Johnson Street NE proposed for vacation described as follows with legal descriptions attached to the report: 1. Sanitary sewer easement per Document No. 177165 2. Roadway easement per Document No. 217982 3. Roadway easement per Document No. 727283 4. Undeveloped alley per Waltons 1st Subdivision of Reservoir Hills 5. Right-Of-Way Johnson Street NE per Anoka County Half Section Map 41 Item 4. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES February 06, 2024 Planning Commission Meeting Page 3 6. Roadway easement per Document NO. 727279, 727278, and 732576 Boucher explained that there are required findings of fact for easement vacation that the City Council has to make before vacating a street, alley or other public right-of-way: a) No private rights will be injured or endangered as a result of the vacation. (This is correct) b) The public will not suffer loss or inconvenience as a result of the vacation. (This is correct) Boucher stated Staff has coordinated with the City Engineer who has bene provided copies of the application materials and had no concerns with the easement vacation and proposed easeme nts. Questions/Comments from Members: Deneen asked if there were any worries about the garage being built in the area due to the sanitary sewer easement. Chirpich replied that engineering did a review of the home in order to verify that question and that none of the utilities are actually running through the footprint of the proposed garage. Vargas asked if the Met Council was the owner of the sanitary easement and if it was in relation to the force sanitary line. He asked if it had been previously proposed as a lift station. Chirpich replied that the engineer has reviewed the ownership and has determined that the City will continue to contain all of the space that is needed to operate the easement and utilities. He added that he is unable to answer the question about the lift station. Vargas expressed his concern that the sewer lines can shift due to the ground and the surveyors going off of old maps instead of being on site. Chirpich and Boucher explained that the surveyors were on site and have been analyzing the site. Chirpich stated that Staff believe that the property has been analyzed properly. Boucher stated that the City Attorney would review the proposed easements as well. Kaiser asked if there had been any feedback from the community. Boucher replied that he sent mailings to nearby residents within 350 feet of both properties and did not receive any comments. Sahnow asked if there was anyone on zoom. Chirpich noted that there was no questions on zoom. Public Hearing Opened. Wolfe opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Public Hearing Closed. Wolfe closed the public hearing.

Proposed Utility and Roadway Easements Serving 1650 40th Avenue NE and 3987 Johnson Street NE Introduction: Boucher stated the City of Columbia Heights has made application to propose utility and roadway easements service 1650 40th Avenue NE and 3987 Johnson Street NE. The City is vacating existing easements because the current configuration does not accurately reflect the right-of-way constructed and is creating new easements to serve these properties. Boucher explained that there are required findings of fact for easement vacation that the City Council has to make before vacating a street, alley or other public right-of-way: a) No private rights will be injured or endangered as a result of the vacation. (This is correct) b) The public will not suffer loss or inconvenience as a result of the vacation. (This is correct) Chirpich stated roadways and alleys are separated into two different categories. The road and alley easements have a higher standard of care and have to be vacated or established by ordinance rather than resolution. They are embedded into the City’s charter, whereas the vacation of easements, are vacated and established by a resolution. Boucher explained that the proposed Ordinance would be vacating all of the proposed legal descriptions for the easements and road vacations as described in exhibits A and B. Motion by Deneen, seconded by Vargas, to waive the reading of the draft Ordinance No. 1692, there being ample copies available to the public. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. Public Hearing Opened. There were no public comments. Public Hearing Closed. 43 Item 4. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES February 06, 2024 Planning Commission Meeting Page 5 Motion by Sahnow, seconded by Gianoulis, to close the public hearing. Motion by Sahnow, seconded by Kaiser, to recommend that the City Council approve Draft Ordinance No. 1692, establishing a new proposed roadway easement at 1650 40th Avenue NE and 3987 Johnson Street NE as presented. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. 5. Variance for Attached Garage in Residential Front Yard within Front Yard Setback Encroachments Introduction: Boucher stated at the beginning of 2023, the property owner of 1650 40th Avenue NE approached staff regarding the replacement of an existing attached garage with a larger garage which would abut or encroach within the front yard setback and upon an area of the site which lies within an existing utility easement. Upon further review, Staff determined that the applicant would require a Variance to accommodate the potential building addition. Boucher added that April Leaveck and Karen Thompson are requesting a Variance for a proposed attached garage to be located at 1650 40th Avenue NE. The applicant is proposing to construct an addition to the standard garage which measures out to 567 square feet in size on the east side of the home. The applicant seeks a variance for the following: 1. Variance to allow the attached garage to be constructed and located with a front yard setback less than 25 feet. City Code Section 9.109 (C) stipulates a 25-foot front yard setback for residential buildings. Boucher noted that the property is a corner lot abutting a diagonal street with unique setback requirements that apply to the subject property in relation to neighboring lots as the subject property does not have a conventional rear lot line. In consideration of corner lots, the City Code states that the lot line having shortest dimension of street frontage is considered the front lot line. However, at the time of construction in 1985, the street frontage along 40th Avenue NE w as considered the front lot line. Boucher stated thus, the site’s north lot line, along 40th Avenue NE is considered the front and subject to a minimum required building setback of 25 feet. The west lot line is subsequently considered a side lot line, from which a minimum 5-foot building setback is required. The required setback from Johnson Street NE is subject to a 10-foot setback along the same street. The attached garage is proposed to be located 20.4 feet from the north front property line, the same distance as the existing principal structure encroaches upon the front yard setback. The structure and proposed addition are within the principal structure building line in the front yard and does not increase the encroachment towards the setback beyond what the original structure does. Boucher explained that Staff has reviewed the variance materials and the building permit application submitted including floor plans, applicant narrative, and site plan illustrating the proposed size and location of the new garage and its relation to adjacent properties and structures as well as the existing and proposed easements described in the easement vacation associated with this property. The structure and proposed addition are within the principle structure building line in the front yard and does not increase the encroachment towards the setback beyond what the 44 Item 4. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES February 06, 2024 Planning Commission Meeting Page 6 original structure does. Boucher stated the City Council shall make each of the following findings before granting a variance: a. Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the provisions of this article would cause practical difficulties in conforming to the zoning ordinance. The applicant, however, is proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning ordinance. This is correct. The existing single-family home on the lot was built in a manner that utilized 40th Avenue NE as the front yard rather than Johnson Street NE. The current condition does not provide reasonable space for the construction of a standard two-stall garage that does not encroach into the front yard setback. This is an existing condition not caused by the current owner. The proposed garage would encroach five feet and five inches into the front yard setback, the same distance as the existing house encroaches, and will be served by the existing driveway accessed from 40th Avenue NE. b. The conditions upon which the variance is based are unique to the specific parcel of land involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification. This is correct. The subject site is unique as it is a triangul ar corner lot with three separate street frontages along all three sides of the property with setback requirements that differ from most lots on the block. c. The practical difficulties are caused by the provisions of this article and have not been created by any person currently having a legal interest in the property. This is correct. d. The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. This is correct. The Comprehensive plan calls for reinvestment, renovation, and modernization of the City’s single-family housing stock. e. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development or value of property or improvements in the vicinity. This is correct. The granting of this Variance will result in a new, functioning two car garage for the property that will enhance the overall functionality and aesthetic of the site. This will provide more adequate on-site parking and will 45 Item 4. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES February 06, 2024 Planning Commission Meeting Page 7 contribute to the improved value of the neighborhood. Questions/Comments from Members: Vargas asked if the dimensions of the 5’ 5” was a reflection of a survey. Boucher replied that it is a reflection of the current distance the house is from the property line. Public Hearing Opened. Chirpich noted that there were no online comments. Motion by Vargas, seconded by Kaiser, to waive the reading of the draft Resolution No. 2024-012, there being ample copies available to the public and close the public hearing. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. Motion by Wolfe, seconded by Sahnow, to recommend that the City Council approve Resolution No. 2024-012, a Variance allowing a five foot, five inch, encroachment into the front yard setback of 1650 40th Avenue NE. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. 6. Review and Authorization of an Amendment to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Introduction: Boucher stated in late 2022, staff were informed that Medtronic intended to vacate their Columbia Heights campus located at 800 53rd Avenue NE. The property was l isted for sale in December of 2022, and staff collaborated with the listing broker to provide guidance on potential parameters for redevelopment of the site. Currently, the entire 11.74 -acre site is fully within the Shoreland Overlay District and zoned GB-General Business which allows for a variety of commercial uses but does not include provisions to allow residential development. Given the large size of the property and its desirable location, staff believe that a variety of uses could be considered at th is location, including high-density residential. Despite the redevelopment potential for the site, there is no specific guidance in the City’s Comprehensive Plan to direct a different use of the property. The current plan simply guides the site for commercial use under the assumption that Medtronic will remain the primary user. Boucher mentioned following the listing of the property, staff received a handful of inquiries from redevelopers over the course of a few months. Staff advised interested developer s that the City viewed the site as a prime prospect for redevelopment, but specific guidance for the site has not been developed at this time. Therefore, additional planning must be undertaken to start creating parameters for the potential rezoning/re-guiding of the site before redevelopment can occur. HKGi, who prepared the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, was contracted to develop a design framework and conduct engagement activities including evaluating the redevelopment site and the neighborhood context, facilitating meetings and workshops with staff, City Council and Planning Commission, and the neighborhood to establish redevelopment goals with a focus on land use and design elements. Boucher explained initial work has included evaluating the redevelopment site and neighborhood context through internal staff meetings and workshops in the form of a Joint Session of the 46 Item 4. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES February 06, 2024 Planning Commission Meeting Page 8 Planning Commission and City Council on November 16, 2023. The Joint Session allowed for some consensus to be reached regarding the core land use and design elements that have been established thus far, these core elements include the following:  Scale high density residential towards Central Avenue and lower density housing such as townhomes near Sullivan Lake  Street designs that incorporate stormwater management features  Integrate public/private spaces  Focus on Sullivan Lake and expansion of Sullivan Lake Park as existing community assets  Improve Sullivan Lake water quality  Targeted residential density of 450-600 units  Limited commercial/retail development Boucher stated these land use and design frameworks were refined into two concepts which were presented to the public at an Open House engagement event held on January 9, 2024. The event was extremely well attended and served as the beginning of a two -week online public engagement period from January 9th through January 24th where community members provided feedback on the concepts presented. Boucher noted that HKGi has provided a summary report that documents the proposed changes to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The primary Changes that are proposed are as follows:  Transit Oriented Development (TOD) land use text description  Implementation chapter update to reflect the need for rezoning of the site  Adding to the Opportunity areas with an Area 5 section describing the new site and changing the site’s future land use designation from Commercial to TOD.  Technical tables will be adjusted based on projections changing and forecasts for additional population and housing units:  Regional Setting  Socioeconomic (Household and Employment)  Sewer  Transportation Analysis Zones  Transportation demand Boucher added that the amendment is now ready to be submitted to the Metropolitan Council for review and adoption. Prior to their acceptance of the plan, a resolution of the City Council approving the plan to be submitted, is required. The City’s Zoning Code gives the Planning Commission authority to review and hold public hearings, and prepare recommendations to the City Council regarding any changes to the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission must make a recommendation to the City Council on the draft amendment. Questions/Comments from Members: Vargas noted that it seemed weird that HKGi provided the same playbook as in Maple Grove but simply downsized it for the City. 47 Item 4. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES February 06, 2024 Planning Commission Meeting Page 9 Kaiser noted that it seemed like a reasonable update to the Comprehensive Plan in order to accommodate the redevelopment. He added that the Planning Commission is not approving all of the plans that were presented but would be allowing a way for the plans to be potentially possible. Sahnow noted that the Comprehensive Plan includes parameters around density, and number of housing. The Comprehensive Plan is a recommendation. He asked how the City would hold a developer to a certain density, housing type or specific amenities, such as park features. He added that the park features are outside of the property. Chirpich replied that through the redevelopment agreement, the City can demand a portion of land or an equivalent in cash. The City can keep developers accountable to the housing number of 25-65 +/-. He noted it would be a balance on what the City desires and what the developer needs. In the case of this development, it is expected that it would be rezoned into planned unit development. He explained that the zoning will be site specific and will have parameters included. Vargas asked if the 11.74-acre site within the Shoreland Overlay District was a function of the DNR or something independent. Chirpich replied that it was a City Ordinance overlay baked into the City’s Ordinance. It is derived from a lot of the DNR Shoreland standards. Deneen asked if there has been any thought to ask the developers to provide a number of affordable units and how that was being addressed. Chirpich replied that the affordability ratio has not been built yet but should be during the negotiations between the City EDA and the developer. He explained that a mixed income approach is looking favorable at the time. Public Hearing Opened. Dirk Schmitz, City resident, stated that he was not against residential in the area. He noted that he would like to see more owner occupied townhouses, and condos. He asked that since the Comprehensive Plan has changed, what stops other developers from coming in and putting in more residential rental units. He asked if there was a ratio of private and rental ownerships for the City. Gianoulis asked Staff to speak on traffic impacts. Chirpich replied that the traffic management plan would be more fully developed with a development prop osal. He added that Staff would need to continue to work the Engineering team to ensure there is a convenient layout. While traffic will increase, Staff believe they will be able to manage it. It will go through a traffic management and traffic study plan. Public Hearing Closed. Motion by Deneen, seconded by Wolfe, to waive the reading of the draft Resolution No. 2024-013, there being ample copies available to the public and close the public hearing. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. Motion by Vargas, seconded by Sahnow, to recommend that the City Council approve Resolution No. 2024-013, authorizing the amendment to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan to be submitted to the 48 Item 4. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES February 06, 2024 Planning Commission Meeting Page 10 Metropolitan Council. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. OTHER BUSINESS 7. Review Purchase of 675 37th Avenue NE Chirpich stated pursuant to State Statue, Section 462.356, Subdivision 2, the Planning and Zoning Commission (the “Planning Commission”) in and for the City is required to review and ultimately determine that the proposed acquisition of real property conforms to the Comprehensive Plan of the City. Therefore, staff has requested that the Planning Commission review the acquisition of 675 37th Avenue NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421 (the “Subject Property”) to determine if its acquisition conforms to the Comprehensive Plan of the City. Chirpich noted that the City has a long-standing practice of acquiring vacant and blighted properties for strategic redevelopment purposes. Given the location of the subject property and its proximity to the City’s Public Works facilities, the City desires to acquire the property for the potential future redevelopment of the Public Works campus. Therefore, the proposed acquisition of the Subject Property responds to several goals and policies adopted in the Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, in Chapter 3: Land Use. Below are the specific goals and policies from the Comprehensive Plan that directly and indirectly correlate to the conformity of the proposed acquisition. LAND USE AND REDEVELOPMENT Goal: Provide mechanisms for successful redevelopment of vacant lands and targeted areas within the community. 1. Encourage infill development that demonstrates compatibility with existing neighborhood characteristics in terms of quality, design, building height, placement, scale, a nd architectural quality. Goal: Strengthen the identity and image of the community as a desirable place to live, work and play. 1. Enhance the physical appearance of the community through clean-up initiatives, redevelopment opportunities, and housing renovation programs. Motion by Sahnow, seconded by Kaiser, to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2024-PZ01, there being ample copies available to the public. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. Motion by Wolfe, seconded by Deneen, to adopt Resolution 2024-PZ01, a resolution finding that the acquisition of certain land for redevelopment purposes by the City of Columbia Heights is consistent with the City of Columbia Heights’ Comprehensive Plan. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Wolfe, seconded by Vargas adjourned the meeting at 7:32 pm. Respectfully submitted, 49 Item 4.

MOTION PASSED. PUBLIC HEARINGS 5. Minor Subdivision (Lot Line Adjustment) 334 and 344 40th Avenue NE Introduction: Boucher explained that Michael Gondek, owner of Gondek Properties LLC, has requested approval of a Minor Subdivision, per City Code Section 9.104 (k), for abutting parcels of land located at 334 and 344 40th Avenue NE. The subject sites are both zoned GB -General Business. 334 40th is occupied by a small two-tenant commercial building, and 344 40th, is occupied by a single-family home. The properties are located near commercial uses to the west, northwest, and southwest. To the north and east of the subject sites there are single -family homes. The applicant is the owner of both properties, and they are requesting the lot line adjustment because some of the parking area for the commercial property at 334 40th is located on the single- family lot at 344 40th. This condition was created when the owner purchased the adjacent single- family home to provide more off-street parking for the commercial property. The proposed lot line adjustment will allow the commercial parking area to be fully located on the commercial parcel at 334 40th. To be noted, the applicant is also proposing to establish a 35’ X 16’ driveway easement, and 20’ X 20’ parking easement on the commercial property (post lot line adjustment) that will be in favor of the single-family parcel. These easements will allow future users/owners of the single- family residential property access and parking on the commercial property. The single-family residential property also has parking to the rear of the site that is accessible from the alley to the south. Should the easement be vacated in the future, the single-family property will still have adequate parking on-site. Boucher reviewed the issues and analysis: Lot Requirements. In consideration of the minor subdivision application, a determination should be made that the newly created lots meet the minimum lot area and width requirements of the applicable GB-General 38 Business zoning district. According to Section 9.110.C of the Zoning Ordinance, lots within GB Districts must have a minimum lot area of 6,000 square feet and a minimum width of 40 feet. Presently, the west parcel (334 40th Avenue) measures approximately 12,910 square feet in size and has a width of 105 feet. As a result of the proposed lot line adjustment, the parcel would be increased to 15,230 square feet in size and increased in width to 132 feet on the north end of the parcel (along 40th Avenue). Presently, the east parcel (344 40th Avenue), measures 8,610 square feet in size and has a width of 70 feet. As a result of the proposed lot line adjustment, the parcel would be decreased to 6,290 square feet in size and decreased in width to 43 feet on the north end of the parcel (along 40th Avenue). Both proposed lots meet the minimum area and lot width requirements of the GB District. 52 Item 5. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 02, 2024 Planning Commission Meeting Page 3 Setbacks. The proposed lot line adjustment will result in a change to side yard structure setbacks. According to Section 9.110.C of the Zoning Ordinance, lots within the GB District do not have side yard setback requirements, as structures can be placed right up to the side yard property line. As a result of the proposed lot line adjustment, part of the side yard structure setback for the commercial building on the west parcel will be increased from 1.3 feet to 28.3 feet while the side yard setback for the single-family home on the east parcel will be reduced from 35 feet to 8 feet. After the adjustment, both proposed lots will meet the minimum structure setback requirements of the GB District. The minimum side-yard parking setback in the GB District is 5 feet. The proposed lot line adjustment will bring the existing commercial parking area fully onto the commercial lot. The side yard setback for the parking area after the adjustment will result in a compliant 5 -foot setback. Easements. The submitted survey does not illustrate any drainage and utility easements upon the subject properties. Thus, it is not necessary to vacate an easement along the shared side lot line. As previously mentioned, the applicant is also proposing to establish a 35’ X 16’ driveway easement, and 20’ X 20’ parking easement on the commercial property (post lot line adjustment) that will be in favor of the single-family parcel. Recording. As a condition of minor subdivision approval, the applicant will be responsible for the filing the approved subdivision with the Anoka County Recorder’s Office. If the minor subdivision is not filed with the Anoka County recorder’s Office within one year of the date of City Council approval, it will become invalid. FINDINGS OF FACT Section 9.104 (K) of the Zoning Code outlines specific conditions in order for the City Council to approve a minor subdivision. They are as follows: 1. The proposed subdivision of land will not result in more than three lots. The proposed subdivision will result in two conforming lots. 2. The proposed subdivision of land does not involve the vacation of existing easements. No vacation of existing easements will occur as a result of the minor subdivision. 3. All lots to be created by the proposed subdivision conform to lot area and width requirements established for the zoning district in which the property is located. Both newly created lots will conform to the lot width and lot area requirements of the applicable GB-General Business zoning designation. 4. The proposed subdivision does not require the dedication of public rights-of-way for the purpose of gaining access to the property. The proposed subdivision does not require the dedication of public rights-of-way for the purpose of gaining access to the property. 5. The property has not previously been divided through the minor subdivision provisions of this article. The subject property has not previously been subdivided via a minor subdivision process. 6. The proposed subdivision does not hinder the conveyance of land. The proposed subdivision will not hinder the conveyance of land. 7. The proposed subdivision does not hinder the making of assessments or the keeping of records related to assessments. The proposed subdivision is not expected to hinder the making of assessments or the keeping of records related to assessments. 53 Item 5. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 02, 2024 Planning Commission Meeting Page 4 8. The proposed subdivision meets all the design standards specified in Section 9.115 . As a condition of minor subdivision approval, all applicable design standards of Section 9.115 of the Zoning ordinance must be satisfied. Recommendation: Staff review finds that the proposed Minor Subdivision (lot line adjustment) application meets the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. As a result, Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed Minor Subdivision for the properties located at 334 and 344 40th Avenue NE, subject to certain conditions. Questions/Comments from Members: Kaiser asked if the applicant intends to expand the parking lot of the commercial property and if that was part of the scope of work. Boucher replied that it is not the applicant’s intent and instead is trying to organize everything so that there would not be any nonconformities in case he would like to sell the commercial or the residential property in the future. There are no longer term plans for this. Deneen asked if it was a rental property or if the owner lived in the home. Boucher replied that he believed that the owner lived in the home currently. Sahnow noted that the nonconforming property in this case is the commercial property. Boucher explained that technically both properties were nonconforming. Sahnow asked if the pavement from the parking lot was taken off of the residential property, would the commercial property would still have enough parking to meet the Ordinance for that commercial property. Boucher replied that he did not look into that and would have to come back with the answer. Chirpich explained the history of the property and noted that it is incomplete but at some point the commercial property owner acquired the single property because he was getting parking. He added parking to the single family property without going through the motions of the lot line adjustment. A building permit is not needed for a driveway. Thankfully, the owner has the authority to make it right. Sahnow noted while the revised lot line meets the zoning requirements for minimum lot sizes, it seems to reduce the viability of the property if the owner would like to sell it. If the asphalt was removed and the current lot line was kept from the residential property, it would maintain a wide property line. Boucher agreed and also noted that if the parking lot was not removed it would still be nonconforming and would have a barrier. Kaiser asked if Chirpich replied that it is a functionally obsolete property and does not have a permit use itself and is legally nonconforming. The property was conforming at the time it was built. Boucher added that since it is legally nonconforming, the property owner would not be able to expand upon the use due to the zoning use not allowing it. 54 Item 5. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 02, 2024 Planning Commission Meeting Page 5 Moses asked if the recommendation was to move the lot line due to not enough parking spaces. Boucher replied it was due to parking setbacks. Moses asked if the proposal was to move the lot line to the residential property so that there would be enough of a setback. Boucher agreed. Deneen asked if the bituminous on the back of parcel A was a driveway going into a garage. Boucher replied that it was asphalt and a driveway. Public Hearing Opened. There were no public comments. Public Hearing Closed. Motion by Gianoulis, seconded by Moses, to waive the reading of the draft Resolution 2024-19, there being ample copies available to the public. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. Motion by Deneen, seconded by Sahnow, that the Planning Commission recommends to the City Council to approve Resolution 2024-19, approving a Minor Subdivision (lot line adjustment) for the properties located at 334 and 344 40th Avenue NE, within the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota, subject to certain conditions stated in the resolution. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. OTHER BUSINESS 6. Review Purchase of 4416 Central Avenue NE Introduction: Boucher stated pursuant to State Statue, Section 462.356, Subdivision 2, the Planning and Zoning Commission (the “Planning Commission”) in and for the City is required to review and ultimately determine that the proposed acquisition of real property by the City’s Economic Development Authority (EDA), conforms to the Comprehensive Plan of the City. Therefore, the EDA has requested that the Planning Commission review the acquisition of 4416 Central Avenue NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421 (the “Subject Property”) to determine if its acquisition conforms to the Comprehensive Plan of the City. Boucher noted The EDA has a long-standing practice of acquiring blighted single-family homes to facilitate scattered site redevelopment, and the proposed acquisition of the Subject Property responds to several goals and policies adopted in the Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, in Chapter 3: Land Use. Below are the specific goals and policies from the Comprehensive Plan that directly and indirectly correlate to the conformity of the proposed acquisition. LAND USE AND REDEVELOPMENT Goal: Provide mechanisms for successful redevelopment of vacant lands and targeted areas within the community. 1. Enhance the image and viability of the Central Avenue corridor while protecting and enhancing adjacent residential areas. 55 Item 5. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 02, 2024 Planning Commission Meeting Page 6 2. Encourage infill development that demonstrates compatibility with existing neighborhood characteristics in terms of quality, design, building height, placement, scale, and architectural quality. Questions/Comments from Members: Deneen asked what about the property would be considered blighted and how did it come to the attention of the City. Chirpich replied that it is not a blighted property or poor condition but is certainly functionally absent. He added that the City has a specific redevelopment program that targets properties such as the one being discussed. The property came to the attention of the City through the owner’s family since the occupant had passed away and the property got transferred to the siblings. The new owners were aware of the City’s imitative and contacted the City to make Staff aware of the property. He noted that the EDA has discussed that the depths of the lots are challenging on the corridor and it is a long term strategy of acquiring the properties to create deeper commercial lots. He added that it is likely that when the Comprehensive Plan is reviewed, Staff will identify blocks or areas that could be envisioned for larger redevelopment efforts. Buesgens explained that two Council’s ago, they voted to start to try to acquire the small houses on Central Avenue for redevelopment. There were 22 houses at the time and 3-5 homes have been acquired by the City since then. Ahmed asked if the house was ever put up for public sale. Chirpich replied that it was not. Deneen asked what the plan was for the lot and if they were going to decommission or demo the house. Chirpich replied that it will be a vacant lot and it is still being determined on how it will get to that point. Currently, the Fire Department is working on their training exercises. The EDA has engaged with Deconstruction Services Company and will continue to work with them to determine how much value can be extracted from some of the building materials. Buesgens noted that one of the advantages on purchasing the house is that it gives the City leverage so that it gives the City some control if a developer comes in. Kaiser expressed his gratitude for being so proactive. Deneen stated that she likes that the City is bringing in decommission agents because sustainability is important. Gianoulis agreed. Moses asked if Staff had received any feedback from surrounding neighbors on what they thought about the lot. Chirpich replied that Staff have engaged with the nearby multifamily property to let them know that it was coming. He added that the process with the current home owner has been well received. Motion by Kaiser, seconded by Gianoulis, to waive the reading of Resolution 2024-PZ02,, there being ample copies available to the public. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. Motion by Moses, seconded by Deneen, to adopt Resolution 2024-PZ02, a resolution finding that 56 Item 5.

SUSTAINABILITY COMMISSION City Hall—Shared Vision Room, 3989 Central Ave NE Tuesday, March 12, 2024 6:00 PM APPROVED MINUTES CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Ahmadvand at 6:02 p.m. Members present: Commissioners Ahmadvand, Finkelson, Groseth, Jensen Christen, LaPlante, Leoni-Helbacka, Kurek, Evenson Members absent: Commissioner Johnson Staff present: Sulmaan Khan, Interim City Engineer Liz Bushaw, Administrative Assistant Andrew Boucher, City Planner Staff absent: Liam Genter, Urban Forestry Specialist Council Liaison: Connie Buesgens (present) APPROVAL OF MINUTES Motion by Ahmadvand, seconded by LaPlante to approve the minutes of February 16, 2024 as presented. Motion passed unanimously. OLD BUSINESS 1. Sustainable Purchasing Policy Update Khan said that he did see some comments on the group’s Teams page that had been created. Ahmadvand asked what the cutoff should be to get feedback to Sulmaan – Sulmaan said that whenever the group is comfortable they can move on to next steps. Boucher said that if they have questions, he can run it past the MPCA resource he has. LaPlante suggested that we do that as our version of the policy is close to completed. Boucher said that most of the work has been done that would be needed for a City Council work session, and Khan stated that May is probably the soonest time that this could get on the agenda. Evenson suggested that the deadline for the commission to get in comments would be in two weeks so that we can have them in time for the May work session. 2. Complete Streets Policy Update Khan had included a draft of the policy in the packet , and went through the comments – many of them have to do with not having the information to report on certain things. Some 59 Item 6. City of Columbia Heights AGENDA March 12, 2024 Sustainability Commission Page 2 roadways were mentioned that are actually state roadways, so they become hard to prioritize. Finkelson brought up that we should include MNDOT and county roads as MNDOT had said they didn’t consider sidewalks to be their business. The trigger for the complete streets program would just be when the street is up for reconstruction. Boucher asked if the county or MNDOT have complete street design standards – Khan said that for sure the state does. Boucher asked if we could incorporate their language into our policy, and Khan replied that it is somewhat in the policy already. Boucher said that there is a complete streets evaluation tool – we can upload our policy and judge our policy based on the feedback. Khan said that the entire policy is in the Teams group and to please go in and make comments. LaPLante asked if we can add language about coordinating with other entities about the connected streets that would include a community engagement piece. Finkelson stated that there should be some language outlining the expectations for the city are such that our streets are “complete” streets. Khan asked for clarification about what “downtown” means – Boucher explained that we do have a central business district that could be considered downtown. Boucher asked if everyone could put their final comments in by the next meeting, and possibly this will go on the May work session for City Council. 3. Partners in Energy Update Khan stated that Columbia Heights has been approved for the Partners in Energy Program. Boucher explained a little more about the program and said that he has a couple of contacts there who can schedule a kickoff meeting for us in order to go over the process and plan what would be best for the community. We would put together an Energy Action Team that can include community members, city staff, businesses etc. Ahmadvand said that having this kickoff at the expo would be a good idea, and Boucher agreed. LePlante asked if a tabling event would get the message across, and Boucher said that he is open to ideas about that. Ahmadvand said it might be best to have a separate event if there is enough interest at the tabling event. Groseth suggested that we have the date and time of the stand-alone event available for folks who might be interested. Boucher said that he liked the engagement for the Medtronic project, and something similar might work well for this project. Having a landing page for the Sustainability Commission would be a good way to promote the commission in general. Khan introduced Grant who works for the CEE and would like to be involved in the PIE program. Grant gave a short explanation about what the CEE does. Ahmadvand asked what involvement would be needed from the schools, and Boucher said they could be a good resource for getting the word out and community engagement. Boucher also said that some feedback they got was to clarify goals: social equity, land use etc. 4. GreenCorps Host Site Update Boucher said that there is a companion program called ImpactCorps – they accept proposals as they get them, so it is a rolling application. There is also the ability to suggest a particular person for the role. GreenCorps is not a quarterly application – it is yearly. Leoni- Helbacka said that the subcommittee formed at the previous meetig is called the Sustainable Collaboration Committee – they will research and bring up other opportunities 60 Item 6. City of Columbia Heights AGENDA March 12, 2024 Sustainability Commission Page 3 for grants or internships. They can investigate this ImpactCorps and find where we might have a need for it. Boucher said that he would encourage the subcommittee to put their suggestions into a workplan. Jenson-Christen said that talking to city staff to identify where there might be needs in the city for an internship would be helpful. Kurek suggested that GIS maps might be a great project to get one of these interns started on. 5. Sustainability Commission Newsletter Submission LaPlante said that she came up with about 6 topic ideas for a submission. LaPlante went over what ideas that she came up with. They decided that xeriscaping would be the best topic to cover first for the newsletter, and compost and organics topics can be covered in the city Expo. Boucher brought up a new citywide Time of Sale policy that may include some energy audits. 6. Implementing Ban on Black Plastic To-Go Containers From Restaurants Kurek asked if we could get in contact with the Business Council – this might be a great topic to chat with them about. Leoni-Helbacka said that there is program called minimize that does a reusable takeaway program that some of our businesses might be interested in knowing about. 7. People Over Parking Act Finkelson mentioned withdrawing this until further notice. 8. City Representation Groseth said that she would like to have more representation at city events. We could have a couple of people at many events in the city and tailor the message to the event. NEW BUSINESS 9. Expo Ahmadvand asked how many people would want to go to the Expo, several members of the commission will be at the event. LaPlante asked to send ideas for handouts and print outs to our communications team. Ahmadvand asked about approving the materials that we will have at the table – the group can send over ideas for comments. Kurek asked about the PIE being included in the tabling event and whether or not we should have a GreenSteps City blurb as well. Ahmadvand asked if it would be possible to get the SC webpage up by the time the expo happens. 10. Round Robin 61 Item 6. City of Columbia Heights AGENDA March 12, 2024 Sustainability Commission Page 4 Connie shared that Fridley submitted a grant application for a hydraulic separator that would reduce pollutants to Sullivan Lake. Evenson brough up park system planning, and wanting to be included in some of that planning.

As part of this new program, the City needs to formally establish the fee for the inspections that cover the Time of Sale process.

Both rental and Time of Sale inspections cover similar scopes of work and take approximately 1 hour to complete. With the inspection fee, the applicant will receive one follow up inspection at no cos t. Any inspection after the first two will be charged in accordance with the current reinspection fee which is set at $65 for every reinspection thereafter.

ITEM: Annual declaration that the City of Columbia Heights does not waive the monetary limits on the Municipal Tort Liability under Minnesota Statues, Section 466.04. DEPARTMENT: Name of Department BY/DATE: Title of Person / Month, XX, 2023 CORE CITY STRATEGIES: (please indicate areas that apply by adding an “X” in front of the selected text below) _Healthy and Safe Community _Equitable, Diverse, Inclusive, and Friendly _Trusted and Engaged Leadership _Thriving and Vibrant Destination Community X Strong Infrastructure and Public Services X Sustainable BACKGROUND The City purchases its liability insurance from the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT). The LMCIT requires that member cities document annually whether they waive the tort liability limits established for municipalities by Minnesota Statutes, Section 466.04. With certain exceptions, the City’s general liability insurance provides up to $2 million per claim and up to $3 million in aggregate claims per year. In addition, the City carries coverage termed “excess liability” or “umbrella” coverage for up to an additional $1 million. Minnesota Statutes Section 466.04 however, limits a city’s liability for certain types of claims to less than this policy coverage. If the City does not waive these lower limits provided by statute, LMCIT will only pay out the (lower) statutory limit for any applicable claims. Consequently, the LMCIT prices its liability premiums lower for Cities that do not waive the statutory limits. The City’s insurance agent is aware of no MN cities that chose to waive these statutory limits. Staff estimates that the annual savings in premium costs for the City of Columbia Heights are roughly $18,000 by not waiving the statutory limits. SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS Staff is currently preparing the LMCIT insurance renewal application for the policy period June 1, 2024, through May 31, 2025.

ITEM: First Reading of Ordinance 1698, Creating a Housing Trust Fund Within the City of Columbia Heights, and Designating the EDA as the Fund’s Administrator. DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Mitchell Forney, 5-9-24 CORE CITY STRATEGIES: _Healthy and Safe Community _Equitable, Diverse, Inclusive, and Friendly _Trusted and Engaged Leadership X Thriving and Vibrant Destination Community _Strong Infrastructure and Public Services _Sustainable BACKGROUND During the 2023 legislative session, the Minnesota legislature passed an omnibus housing finance bill (HF2335/SF 2566). The bill earmarked millions of dollars for a variety of agencies and programs dedicated to the current issues in the housing market. Article 5 of the bill established the metropolitan region sales and use tax. This tax required the Metropolitan Council to impose a metro sales tax of 0.25% on sales made in the metropolitan counties or to a destination in the metropolitan counties. Funds received from the tax are distributed: 25% to the state’s rental assistance program, 25% to the metropolitan city aid account, and 50% to the metropolitan county aid account. The metropolitan city account disburses local affordable housing aid to cities via distribution factors. Calculations made as of June 30th 2023, expect Columbia Heights to receive $260,089 annually. These numbers are preliminary, and the City will not know how much it is set to receive until the funds are released in June or July. These funds must be used for affordable housing initiatives or projects and must qualify under the law. “Article 5, section 3, subd. 4 defines qualifying projects to include emergency rental assistance for households earning less than 80% of area median income, financial support to nonprofit hous ing providers, construction, acquisition, rehabilitation, permanent financing, interest rate reduction, refinancing, and gap financing of housing. Homeownership projects are limited to units affordable to those at 115% of greater of state or area median income and 80% of greater area of greater of state or area median income for rental housing projects.” (LMC 2023 Legislative Session Summary) State law also establishes that all funds must be spent on qualifying projects by December 31 of the third year after the aid was received. This requirement can be bypassed if: the city can prove that by no fault of its own it could not expend all the funds, the city places the received funds into a housing trust fund, and the funds used from the trust fund go to qualified projects. In speaking with other cities and our public finance consultants at Ehlers, all agree that the first step in responding to the new law is to establish a housing trust fund and, upon receipt of the funds, transfer them into the trust fund. As stated above this is a major step in proving the City has “spent” the funds. Which allows CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA SECTION PUBLIC HEARINGS MEETING DATE 05/13/2024 145 Item 15. City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2 the City more time to distribute the funds on qualifying projects. Cities are given the right to establish Housing Trust Funds in section 462C.16 of state statute. Ordinance 1698 establishes the framework for the City’s Local Housing Trust Fund which contains a set of rules and regulations regarding the administration of the fund. These rules are established in compliance with state law and the requirements set by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) for their Local Housing Trust Fund Grants. MHFA also received $4,800,000 money from 2023 legislative session for their Local Housing Trust Fund Grants. The Local Housing Trust Fund Grant program is stricter than the affordable housing sales tax funds, but staff see the local housing trust funds purpose as a tool to develop and maintain affordable housing. This also opens the fund for application to the Local Housing Trust Fund Grants. The EDA will discuss applying to the grant program after establishment of the fund. Ordinance 1698 also designates the EDA as the administrator of the fund. The City’s HRA has delegated its powers to the EDA making the EDA best suited to administer the p rograms and projects the fund will be used for. In the past the EDA has established and administered the City’s housing initiatives. RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): MOTION: Move to close the hearing and waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1698, there being ample copies available to the public. MOTION: Move to set the second reading of Ordinance No. 1698, being an ordinance establishing a Housing Trust Fund, and designating the Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority as the administrator of the fund, for May 28th, 2024, at approximately 6:00 p.m . in the Council Chambers. ATTACHMENT(S): 1. Ordinance 1698 2. Public Hearing Notice of Ordinance 1698 146 Item 15. Ordinance 1698 ORDINANCE NO. 1698 BEING AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A LOCAL HOUSING TRUST FUND AND DESIGNATING THE COLUMBIA HEIGHTS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AS THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE FUND The City of Columbia Heights does ordain: (a) Preamble. To provide the City of Columbia Heights (the “City”) with additional tools to support the rehabilitation and preservation of existing affordable housing within the City, and promote the development of additional affordable housing within the City, the City has determined to create a Local Housing Trust Fund. (b) Establishing a Local Housing Trust Fund.

The property is located on Block 143 with six (6) single family rentals out of 38 total single-family units and an allotment of four (4) single family rentals. Attached is the letter that staff received. Section 1 of Ordinance 1685, which established the single-family rental density cap, states that: “If the number of detached single-family dwellings rental properties meets or exceeds the permitted number of rental properties per defined block on the effective date of the ordinance from which this section is derived, a property owner may request a temporary license to allow an additional rental property for that block. The City Council may grant or deny a temporary license in its sole discretion. Persons requesting a temporary license must make an annual application to the City. No property owner shall hold a temporary rental license for the same property for more than two consecutive years.” As it is the homeowners’ right to appeal to the Council. Staff brought forth the appeal along with supporting documents for discussion and review. If approved, Resolution 2024-034 would grant a temporary rental license exemption to the homeowner with a few additional requirements. The homeowner is required to complete the license application process within 3 months from the passage of the resolution. This puts a limit on how long they can take to bring the house into rental compliance if needed. The temporary rental license will be valid for one year from the date that the license is approved. This provides the homeowner and tenant the ability to rent th e home for a full one-year lease. After the term of the temporary license, the persons requesting a temporary license must make an annual application to the City. No property owner shall hold a temporary rental license for the same property for more than two consecutive years.

Tree preservation ordinances were examined by peer-reviewing other cities such as Fridley, New Hope, Shakopee, St. Anthony’s Village, Maple Grove , and Minneapolis for key components. Fridley, St. Anthony’s Village, and Minneapolis do not have tree preservation ordinances. Additionally, staff have consulted with the League of Minnesota Cities and the City Forester for their guidance on what a model ordinance should include. The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in F.P. Development, LLC vs. Charter Township of Canton, Michigan found that, Canton’s ordinance classification of certain trees as “significant trees”, created permitting requirements, restricted tree removal, and required mitigation for removal. A property owner that removed trees was required to either pay into a town fund or replant trees; the town enforced action against a developer that removed 159 trees and argued that, under the ordinance, the developer had to replant trees or pay the town approximately $50,000. The 6th Circuit found that the ordinance violated the Fifth Amendment’s “unconstitutional conditions” doctrine, if a permit is conditioned on the waiver of constitutional rights, then the local government permitting may be found unconstitutional. 208 Item 21. Page 2 Local governments may choose whether and how a permit applicant mitigates developmental impacts, but they must establish an “essential nexus and rough proportionality to those impacts” and “make some sort of individualized determination that the required mitigation is related both in nature and extent to the impact of the proposed development.” ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT By using the most recent versions of the ANSI A300 and ISA Best Management Practices for tree management during construction as well as the MN DNR “Pocket Guide to Planting Trees”, the amendment to City Code (9.106 General Development Standards) to include tree preservation language and planting standards in the Landscaping and Screening section reflects industry and agency standards and best practices . The Planning Commission gave a positive recommendation (7-0) to draft Ordinance No. 1696, an Ordinance amending chapter 9.106 General Development Standards (M) of the City Code of 2005 to establish Tree Preservation and Planting Standards at the May 7, 2024 Planning Commission meeting. The following Zoning Ordinance modifications are recommended by Staff with the full draft ordinance attached to the staff report. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 1696, on first consideration: RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1696, there being ample copies available to the public. MOTION: Move to set the second reading of Ordinance Amendment No. 1696, an Ordinance amending chapter 9.106 General Development Standards (M) of the City Code of 2005 to establish Tree Preservation and Planting Standards, for May 28, 2024.

To the maximum extent possible, the landscape plan shall incorporate existing vegetative features on the site. 2. The overall composition and location of landscaped areas should complement the scale of the development and its surroundings. 3. The use of native species is preferred in all landscaping choices, and a minimum of 80% of all plants used shall be native to MN. 4. The City of Columbia Heights is committed to enhancing the diversity and resiliency of its urban forest. A variety of trees and shrubs shall be used to provide visual interest year-round and meet diversity requirements. No more than 25% of the required number of trees or shrubs may be comprised of any one species or genus. No less than 50% of the required number of trees shall be over-story deciduous trees and no less than 10% shall be coniferous. New trees and replacement trees shall be planted according to the standards set forth in the MN Department of Natural Resources publication “A Pocket Guide to Planting Trees”.

Exclusively refers to either uncompacted native soils (no greater than 80% Proctor), or amended soils meeting the Minnesota Department of Transportation standards for approved topsoil, that are not covered by hardscape or paved surfaces. Available open soil. The uncovered length by width of a planting bed, multiplied by depth of preparation up to 36 inches deep. Most unprepared urban subgrade is highly compacted and does not qualify as available. 214 Item 21. City of Columbia Heights - Ordinance Page 6 Covered soil. Soil volume provided below hardscape or paved surfaces in the form of suspended soil cells or structural soil. Only 25% of the volume of structural soils may be counted towards soil volume requirements. Shared soil. Soil media shared by more than one tree in a planting bed sharing open soil, or an individual tree in a planting bed that is connected to other open soils via Soil Cells or Structural Soil. Areas of shared soil must have a continuous root path that does not restrict to less than 4 feet wide or 2 feet deep. Isolated soil. Soil media in a tree well or small enclosed planting bed that is not connected to other prepared soil volumes and is totally isolated by hardscape such as driveways, sidewalks, or vaults. Connected soil. Two or more areas of open soil that are connected below hardscape with either soil cells or structural soil. These connected beds can now qualify as shared soil. The following standards and exceptions apply to calculating soil volumes: 1) The total soil volume provided for a tree shall be calculated in cubic feet by adding the available open soil volume to the available covered soil volume within a 50-foot radius of the tree. 2) When total soil volume consists of more than one planter bed or open soil area, those areas must be connected by continuous root paths at least 4 feet wide and 2 feet deep. 3) Soil volumes for covered soil shall be calculated by using only the space available to roots and may not include the components providing structure. 90% of the volume of cell -type hardscape suspension systems may be counted towards total soil volume; 25% of the volume of structural soils may be counted towards total soil volume. A maximum depth of 36” may be used when calculating total soil volume; depths beyond 36” may not be counted t owards soil volume requirements. (6) Landscaping requirements. Landscaping shall be provided in accordance with the following requirements: a. All required setbacks shall be landscaped with turf grass, native grasses, trees, shrubs, vines, perennial flowering plants, or other pervious ground cover. b. A minimum of one tree shall be planted for every 50 feet of street frontage or fraction thereof. The trees shall be planted within the front yard and may be arranged in a cluster or placed at regular intervals to best complement existing landscape design patterns in the area. c. A minimum of four trees shall be planted for every one acre of lot area covered by buildings, parking areas, loading areas, exterior storage areas and other impervious surfaces. d. Parking areas shall have a minimum of 100 square feet of landscape area and one over- story tree for each 20 spaces or, fraction thereof.

ITEM: Update to 9.106 General Development Standards to Include Tree Preservation DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Andrew Boucher, City Planner April 1, 2024 CORE CITY STRATEGIES: (please indicate areas that apply by adding an “X” in front of the selected text below) X Healthy and Safe Community _Equitable, Diverse, Inclusive, and Friendly _Trusted and Engaged Leadership _Thriving and Vibrant Destination Community _Strong Infrastructure and Public Services X Sustainable BACKGROUND: Tree preservation, landscaping, and the urban canopy have been identified by the City of Columbia Heights through 2040 Comprehensive Plan goals per Land Use and Redevelopment Goals and Policies to provide a natural buffer between uses and promote community health . However, the current Zoning Code does not specifically address tree preservation or planting standards and should include measures to ensure the long- term health and safety are maintained during the development process and so trees can mature in a way that they are productive and beneficial to the urban canopy. The City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan identifies community resilience, climate adaptation, public health, equity, and sustainability as Emerging Topics. One of the key land use goals identified in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan includes enhancing community gateways, prioritizing landscaping and other forms of buffering between uses, and continuing the City’s participation in Tree City USA. By using the most recent versions of the ANSI A300 and ISA Best Management Practices for tree management during construction as well as the MN DNR “Pocket Guide to Planting Trees”, the amendment to City Code (9.106 General Development Standards) to include tree preservation language and planting standards i n the Landscaping and Screening section would reflect industry and agency standards and best practices. Columbia Heights can maintain and enhance the urban canopy by: • Applying preservation, protection, and replacement standards of Protected Trees to all permits that require a survey and including the City Forester in the review process to approve tree inventory and protection plans as well as conducting inspections. • Establishing standards for the removal of protected and removable trees as well as newly planted and replacement trees to ensure diversity and resiliency of the canopy, soil volume requirements and formulas for calculating soil volume, and defining protected tree varieties. • Defining replacement requirements based on size and plantings in accordance with the standards set forth in the MN Department of Natural Resources publication “Pocket Guide to Planting Trees” • Adjusting the letter of credit or other security, as acceptable to the city, from 10% of the tree, landscaping, and screening estimated cost to an amount equal to the estimated cost. The letter of CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING AGENDA SECTION WORK SESSION ITEM MEETING DATE APRIL 1, 2024 221 Item 21. City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2 credit or other security as acceptable to the city, or portions, thereof, shall be forfeited to maintain and/or replace materials for a period of time to include at least two growing seasons. A portion of the letter of credit or other security as acceptable to the City may be released after one growing season; after two growing seasons, the security can be released minus costs incurred through damage or replacement. SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS: At the time, staff felt it was necessary to amend the existing ordinances to establish a process to include the City Forester in development review and adopt standards aligned with industry and agency best practices as well as reflecting the securities and letter of credit language that is seen across municipalities. The ordinance currently does not reflect the most up-to-date information, standards, or processes that ensure successfully mature tree canopies or preservation of the existing canopy. The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in F.P. Development, LLC vs. Charter Township of Canton, Michigan found that, Canton’s ordinance classification of certain trees as “significant trees”, created permitting requirements, restricted tree removal, and required mitigation for removal. A property owner that removed trees was required to either pay into a town fund or replant trees; the town enforced action against a developer that removed 159 trees and argued that, under the ordinance, the developer had to replant trees or pay the town approximately $50,000. The 6th Circuit found that the ordinance violated the Fifth Amendment’s “unconstitutional conditions” doctrine, if a permit is conditioned on the waiver of constitutional rights, then the local government permitting may be found unconstitutional. Local governments may choose whether and how a permit applicant mitigates developmental impacts, but they must establish an “essential nexus and rough proportionality to those impacts” and “make some sort of individualized determination that the required mitigation is related both in nature and extent to the impact of the proposed development.” Tree preservation ordinances were examined by peer-reviewing other cities such as Fridley, New Hope, Shakopee, St. Anthony’s Village, Maple Grove, and Minneapolis for key components. Fridley, St. Anthony’s Village, and Minneapolis do not have tree preservation ordinances. Additionally, staff has consulted with the League of Minnesota Cities and the City Forester for their guidance on what a model ordinance should include. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council direct staff on whether to pursue a tree preservation and planting standards ordinance and have the City Attorney review the proposed language for purposes of determining if the ordinance establishes an essential nexus and rough proportionality and documents an individualized determination process after applying the standards.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA SECTION ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION MEETING DATE MAY 13, 2024 ITEM: First Reading of Ordinance No. 1697, an Ordinance amending Chapter 9.107 Specific Development Standards (16) Day Care Centers DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Andrew Boucher, City Planner, May 9, 2024 CORE CITY STRATEGIES: (please indicate areas that apply by adding an “X” in front of the selected text below) X Healthy and Safe Community _Equitable, Diverse, Inclusive, and Friendly X Trusted and Engaged Leadership _Thriving and Vibrant Destination Community _Strong Infrastructure and Public Services _ Sustainable CASE NUMBER: 2024-PZ05 APPLICANT: JDA Design Architects, Inc. on behalf of Mohamed Abdulle (2201 37th Avenue NE) LOCATION: Citywide REQUEST: Zoning Ordinance Amendment PREPARED BY: Andrew Boucher, City Planner INTRODUCTION: JDA Design Architects, Inc. representing Mohamed Abdulle has requested approval of a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to amend Specific Development Standards in City Code 9.107 for Day Care Centers. The applicant is proposing to modify (16)(c): a requirement for child day care centers to provide at least 75 sq. ft. of ou tdoor play area for each child under care to allow for the submission of a written plan to use an adjacent public park to satisfy this requirement subject to approval by the City Manager or their designee. The proposed text amendment would make the City Code less restrictive and bring local requirements into alignment with MN State Statute 9502.0425 (Physical Environment) which allows day cares to use public parks if the on -site play areas are not sufficient. Staff have worked with the owner of 2201 37 th Avenue NE, a block south of Prestemon Park, on a proposed child day care center building permit application through administrative review under the current code requirements providing a 2,700 sq. ft. on-site play area as well as on the proposed zoning text amendment which would allow the applicant to serve a greater number of children. The proposed zoning text amendment changes the child day care outdoor play area language to reflect the standards that allow adult day care facilities to use an adjacent park subject to approval of a written plan reviewed by the City Manager or their designee. Staff has determined that the proposal is identical to a similar zoning text amendment the City processed and approved in 2017 allowing adult day care facilities use of an adjacent public park to satisfy outdoor play area 223 Item 22. Page 2 requirements. Staff recommended approval of the amendment so that an alternative approach to providing on-site outdoor space could be considered, which was approved by t he City Council. Staff examined existing day care facilities and their outdoor play areas, zoning districts that allow child and adult day care facilities as uses, and identifying parks that would be within the 1,500 -foot distance from any commercially zoned properties to better understand the impact of the proposed zoning text amendment. There are approximately 11 existing day care centers that the amendment would apply to, but each of these centers appears to provide on-site play areas or are on a site, such as a place of worship or school facility, that has those facilities readily available. Existing day care centers would be able to expand their operations if their occupancy is currently limited by the on-site play area, but this amendment would likely be more applicable to future day care centers. The proposed zoning text amendment would be applicable to only city parks that have a commercially zoned property within 1,500 feet of them where a future child day care center could propose a written plan for review to use the park. These parks are:  Edgemoor Park  Gauvitte Park  Huset Park  Labelle Park  Prestemon Park  Sullivan Lake Park The remaining parks are either outside the distance allowed for a day care to use the park or the parks do not have any commercial zones where a child day care center would be allowed. The property owners within 350 feet of each of these six parks were sent a Notice of Public Hearing regarding the zoning text amendment because staff determined it was appropriate, within the scop e of the zoning text amendment, to give the public ample notice of the application and provide time for adequate public comment. Staff has received multiple written comments which are included as part of the public record. Staff also examined the city code requirements of Andover, Big Lake, Maple Grove, Minneapolis, Minnetonka, Richfield, Roseville, and Saint Paul to better understand how cities are regulating day care facilities in relation to MN State Statute 9502.0425. Cities such as Andover, Richfield, and Roseville do not have specific development standards for day care centers and adhere to the state requirements. Big Lake, Maple Grove, and Saint Paul require play areas for day cares to be enclosed with a fence. Minneap olis allows for public parks to be used accessory to a childcare center. ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT It is the opinion of staff that the proposed zoning text amendment, as presented, is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and would bring city code requirements in alignment with MN State Statute 9502.0425 governing the physical environments of day care facilities. The proposed text amendment is identical to a previous zoning ordinance amendment from 2017 that was approved by City Council and the requirement of an approved written plan will benefit providers as well as the City to ensure that public access of the parks is not compromised. In this regard, the following Zoning Ordinance modification to City Code 9.107 Specific Development Standards is recommended by Staff and is highlighted in red: 1. The existing specific development standards for Day Care Centers shall be amended to include additional 224 Item 22. Page 3 language for “child day care facilities” that specifies that if a subject property does not have suffic ient outdoor play area on-site, then the property owner must submit a written proposal that demonstrates that recreational activities for adults under the facility’s care will be provided off-site subject to approval or denial by the City Manager or their designee. (C) Specific development standards. The following uses are subject to specific development standards: (16) Day care center (c) For child day care facilities, at least 75 square feet of outdoor play area shall be provided for each child under care. If there is not sufficient space for an outdoor play area on-site, then the property owner must submit a written proposal that demonstrates recreational activities for children under the facility’s care will be provided off -site within 1,500 feet of the facility. Staff Review The Public Works Department, Police Department, and Fire Department have been provided copies of the application materials and had no concerns regarding the amendment to allow child day care facilities to use a public park in lieu of an on-site play area. The City Attorney does not have any concerns regarding liability as these businesses are required to carry appropriate insurance to cover any potential damages. The City Building Official prepared a memorandum of understanding regarding the importance of accessible playground equipment at daycare facilities highlighting inclusivity, physical development, social interaction, legal compliance, and community engagement as reasons to consider maintaining the existing code, this me mo is included as an attachment. FINDINGS OF FACT Section 9.104 (F) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines certain findings of fact that must be met in order for the City to grant approval for a zoning amendment. The findings are as follows: (a) The amendment is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan identifies establishing and maintaining a strong sense of community, strengthening the identity and image of the community as a desirable place to live, work, and play, and promoting the safety of residents and ensure a safe environment for pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vulnerable roadway users as some of the land use goals and policies. (b) The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a single property owner. The amendment is in the public interest and not solely for the benefit of a single property owner as the property owner has demonstrated a willingness to comply with the current code requirements and this has been a barrier to entry for numerous perspective day care providers to the extent that a previous zoning text amendment was approved for adult day care facilities. The proposed amendment will allow for more child care capacity and remove a barrier to entry for future day care providers while also providing the City with greater understanding how public parks are being used. 225 Item 22.

My question are as follows: Would the addition of these day care centers be a burden to what I can assume are limited crews for maintenance and trash removal? As I stated to you, I live directly across from Huset Park and the children and parents leave an enormous amount of trash daily which I pick up so I am not ashamed of where I live. Are there monies designated for daily clean up in these parks? How many people will be supervising the children daily? We have had buses of children at Huset Park who took over the entire play area and other children would just leave the area. Also how will our residents be able to walk dogs or want to have picnics on the grounds at the same time? Will our Association be paying higher taxes for the centers?

There are approximately 11 day care centers in Columbia Heights that this would apply to, but from my analysis, the vast majority of these day care centers already have on-site play areas or other built in ameniƟes. Day care centers do not pay the city for licensure as they are licensed through the state, but they do pay city taxes.

The notice states the amendment relates to specific development standards for day care centers and would "allow for child day care centers to use an adjacent public park within 1,500 feet of the property in lieu of an on-site play area. While I am in full support of children and their right and need to play, I am do not support using public park space by day care centers, including private or public schools, for this purpose. These businesses should provide their own recreational facilities and equipment for use by the children they are paid to care for. Public parks are for the use of all residents and their individual children. To have access to recreational equipment (e.g., swings, slides, etc.) essentially obstructed by a day care center business for use by its customers is not an acceptable use of these public areas, facilities, and equipment. For the record, I have no objection to day care operated out of someone's individual home using a local public park for the benefit of the children in their care. Respectfully, Donna Conwell (Columbia Heights, MN, Labelle Park area resident) 246 Item 22. 1 Andrew Boucher From:Jennifer Kane <jekane32@gmail.com> Sent:Monday, April 22, 2024 11:28 AM To:Andrew Boucher Subject:Re: FW: Zoning Text Amendment Hi Andrew, QuesƟons I have: What degree of full park access will the daycare children have: will it be possible that the children approach fence lines in their play (and thereby potenƟally trigger unsupervised dogs in those back yards). I have a large dog. He is protec Ɵve of his yard and will charge and bark at unknown people who approach the backyard gate to my property. We have a Beware of Dog sign on the gate. What hours will daycare children be at play in the park. Will there be a predictable schedule that the daycare follows (that we can follow or be aware of also). Can property owners or community ciƟzens use the park at will (with dogs and children/grandchildren) while daycare children are there playing. Discussion of increase in discarded trash or forgoƩen clothing/toys if this moves ahead. A benefit of the proposal: this could result in the park maintenance schedule being aƩended to with more diligence. 1) the dandelions being sprayed; 2) the park being mowed regularly; 3) sƟcks and brush being raked and collected from the large sandbox area; 4) basketball hoops being repaired; and 5) the interior park fence lines being maintained and trimmed.
