Item A.
PROCLAMATION
Foster Care Awareness Month: May 2025
Foster Care Awareness Month raises visibility about the experiences of children and youth
in foster care, while honoring the individuals who support them—foster and biological
families, child welfare professionals, mentors, policymakers, and community members.
Each plays a vital role in helping young people find safety, stability, and connection.
Foster care provides a safe, temporary home for children and teens who cannot remain with
their families due to abuse, neglect, or other serious challenges. Whenever possible, the goal
is reunification with their biological families. When it is not, the focus becomes finding a
stable, permanent home through adoption or guardianship. Behind every placement is a
story of hardship—and hope.
As of 2025, nearly 390,000 children are in foster care in the United States. Each one enters
the system through no fault of their own, often carrying the weight of trauma, loss, and
uncertainty—but also the potential for healing and success when given the proper support.
The need for foster families has only grown since the pandemic. Foster parents come from
all walks of life—single, married, with or without children, grandparents, or individuals
hoping to adopt. What matters most is being at least 21, completing the licensure process,
and having a safe space, an open heart, and a willingness to walk with a child through their
healing journey. Successful foster parents support a child’s well-being, invest in their
future, accept their past, and work as part of a team.
This month, we express deep gratitude to the foster families who open their hearts and
homes, to biological parents striving for reunification, and to the professionals and
volunteers who walk beside foster youth every day. Most of all, we honor the incredible
strength and resilience of the children and youth in foster care, whose courage inspires us
all.
I, Amáda Márquez Simula, Mayor of Columbia Heights, proclaim May 2025 as Foster
Care Awareness Month in Columbia Heights and encourage all residents to support and
stand in solidarity with foster youth, their families, and those who care for them.

PROCLAMATION
Menstrual Hygiene Day: May 28, 2025
Menstrual Hygiene Day was established in 2014 as a global day of action on period
poverty and stigma.
Menstrual Hygiene Day is a day where citizens can come together to recognize the
effect of period poverty in our community and the impact of menstrual inequities on
those who experience a period while living in poverty.
The continued support at the local, regional, and national levels is helping break the
silence and build awareness about the fundamental role that good menstrual hygiene
management plays in the lives of people who menstruate.
During this challenging time and every day, let us aim to be conscious of the needs of
others, promote open dialogue to help counter taboos surrounding periods, learn new
and creative ways to manage menstrual health issues, and promote equitable access to
hygiene needs and products.
The Mayor and City of Columbia Heights support organizations and individuals
committed to raising awareness about the needs of the community through education
and support, to ensure the health and well-being of our communities are improved.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that I, Amáda Márquez Simula, Mayor of Columbia
Heights, do hereby proclaim May 28, 2025, to be Menstrual Hygiene Day in the City of
Columbia Heights, County of Anoka, State of Minnesota, U.S.A.

Mayor Márquez Simula led the group in an ice breaker topic.
2. Rainbow Site Development Update.
City Manger Chirpich introduced the topic as well as the team from Alatus to review the
status of the rainbow site redevelopment on Central Avenue. Additionally City Manager
Chirpich went over the recent challenges the project has faced including financial concerns
and the need for modifications to the loan agreement and bond refunding strategies.
Overall, this project has been negatively impacted by rising interest rates as well as the lack
of options for financing partnerships.
Tony Kuechle, Alatus indicated that Alatus has been moving forward with options for
funding the project, and the needed infrastructure for the project. There is ongoing work
related to the updated traffic study and finding a suitable grocery partner for the site.
Additionally, there is an ongoing examination of the site plan to identify financeable
portions that can be started immediately.
Barrett Corwin, Alatus also spoke to the interest rates and how the project has been
negatively impacted. Alatus is committed to the site plan and is looking at all options to get
the project moving forward.
Mayor Márquez Simula inquired what was needed from the council.

Item 3.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 05, 2025
City Council Work Session Page 2
City Manager Chirpich focused on the positives of the projects, and that this project will
move forward but that there will be additional loan modification documents that are
presented to the EDA and the council for approval at upcoming meetings.
Councilmember Deneen inquired about what was occurring with the underwriting staff to
move the project forward. Mr. Kuechle indicated that there will be multiple meetings
coming up regarding this topic and they hope to have more information for the Council
after these meetings.
Councilmember James asked where the project falls in the priority for Alatus. Mr. Kuechle
indicated that the project falls in the top three priorities for Alatus.
Councilmember Buesgens stated that she is concerned that there is not a market for a
grocery store in this space. She does not want to have the construction held up because of
the retail partners. She would also like to get the financing extended for three to five years,
due to the volatility in the market.
Mr. Kuechle and Mr. Corwin confirmed to the council that the grocer is not holding up the
project and elaborated on the financing options for this development with a fixed rate low
interest loan and that there is new legislation that updated the tax code to build work force
housing. They also offered for the Council to tour one of the recently completed Alatus
projects in St. Paul.
Chris Bower with MNDOT asked for the traffic study that is being completed by Alatus to be
sent to him as soon as it is available.
City Manager Chirpich indicated that moving forward there will be monthly updates for the
council related to this project.
3. MnDOT: Layout Recommendations for Central Avenue.
Public Works Director Kevin Hansen introduced Chris Bower with MNDOT for the
continued discussion regarding reconstruction that will occur on Central Avenue. The goal
of the conversation is to continue to build consensus on where the project is headed. There
are many areas where there is consensus, however there is continued discussion needed
related to single lane roundabouts (46th and 47th) and the number of northbound lanes
from 37th to 48th.
Mr. Bower is proposing that all changes on University Avenue in Columbia Heights are
postponed until at least 2030. He reviewed recent traffic studies and lane configuration
that could handle increased traffic that is shifted from Central Avenue.
Councilmember Deneen was supportive of waiting until 2030 related to improvements to
University Avenue.
29
Item 3.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 05, 2025
City Council Work Session Page 3
Mr. Bower stated that MNDOT heard from the community partners that there are concerns
related to the need for road and utility maintenance as well as a northbound bus lane. Mr.
Bower understands that there is a concern that the bus lane will lead to misuse, and there
would be the possibility of implementing a part-time bus line to mitigate the issue.
Councilmember Buesgens inquired about how many times there has been major work
completed on Central. She also asked about the number of accidents that have occurred .
She and Councilmember Deneen inquired about the conversion of bus lanes to parking if
needed in the future.
Public Works Director Hansen indicated that there will be watermain work that needs to be
done with or without this project. There is also sewer cleaning, street sweeping and misc.
repair work completed yearly.
Mr. Bower indicated that MNDOT will be making many of the design ideas available for the
public moving forward. MNDOT will not make any of the municipal consent items available
as that is something that is initiated by the council. MNDOT does feels strongly that there
should be a single lane northbound from 45 th to 49th as this is a critical area for safety.
Councilmember Buesgens stated that she feels strongly that the commuter traffic will
decrease on Central Avenue with the proposed improvements. Her top priority is that this
corridor is safer, and she would like there to be a single lane each way. She does not want a
bus lane, and she wants to have Central be pedestrian friendly. She wants this area to be
safer for pedestrians, and less convenient for commuters who do not live in the
community. She would like additional research related to road diets and their success.
Councilmember Deneen asked for data related to bus lanes misuse. Her concern is that
there will be a negative impact on traffic if there is not a bus line.
Councilmember James also stated that she does not want to lose the roundabouts from
45th North, she would like to have the extra bus lane to mirror what is being done in
Minneapolis.
Councilmember Spriggs wants to prioritize pedestrians and make the Central Business
District a priority.
Mayor Márquez Simula inquired what staff’s recommendations would be.
Director Hansen was concerned that road diets are not always successful and that there
really needs to be a compromise. He would like to focus on the safety / roundabouts in the
45th and 49th but also having the bus lane northbound because there seems to be more
traffic backup. Additionally, he added that traffic control component for road closure will
need to be contracted out and included in future budgets.
Mr. Bowers stated that there is not any data related to bus lane misuse, and that there are
very few cities that have undertaken a project of this magnitude. MNDOT wants to
30
Item 3.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 05, 2025
City Council Work Session Page 4
continue to provide space to bring forward conversations related to what options are most
viable for the community. There will be community meetings monthly moving forward , and
to give people time and space to work through what the best options are. MNDOT will start
designing for both options south of 45th and Mr. Bower will return for the June Work
Session Meeting.
4. Gould Ave NE and Peters Pl Parking Update.
Community Development Coordinator Emilie Voight provided an update on the parking
concerns that have been occurring on Gould Avenue and Peters Place. She reviewed the
effectiveness of the implementation of parking zones and the need for continued
enforcement in the commercial parking area.
Councilmember Buesgens inquired about contact with businesses. She would also like to
get information related to parking meters. Councilmember Spriggs would also like
additional information related to parking meters.
Councilmember James inquired about the residents’ requests for parking permits and if
that would be feasible.
Councilmember Deneen inquired about restricting overnight parking.
Community Development Director Forney indicated that they would come back with more
information related to parking meters and restricting overnight parking.
Coordinator Voight spoke to the parking permits not achieving the objective of making sure
that driveways would not be blocked. Permits would not restrict where a car could park, it
would be something that would be hard to enforce because neighborhood homeowners
and apartment residents would be able to apply for a parking permit in t hese zones and
not everyone could use them at the same time.
The consensus from the Council was that the current steps that have been put into place
are working, but there could be additional enforcement. Additionally, the Council would
like more information on parking meters and restricting overnight parking.
Paul Edner, City Resident, asked if the residents od Peters Place / Gould could address the
Council. Mayor Márquez Simula indicated that the residents could address the Council at
the upcoming City Council Meeting during the Community Forum.
5. Green Step Cities Progress Discussion.
City Planner Andrew Boucher provided an update to the progress the city has made
regarding the Green Step program, as well as planned updates / proposed projects.
Councilmember James stated her appreciation for the work that the Sustainability
Commission has done to complete this report, and that she looks forward to the ad ditional
items that are going to be implemented. She looks forward to additional information on

Mayor Márquez Simula echoed their appreciation as well.

Community Development Director Mitch Forney introduced an update to City Code that
would allow alcohol at City Events, and to remove the 3.2 malt liquor limitation. He
indicated that this item was brought forward by Communications Coordinator Will Rottler
to allow additional vendor participation with this exemption. Coordinator Rottler spoke
about the opportunities that will be created by amending the City Code.
Councilmember Deneen inquired about sampling events, and THC Beverages. Director
Forney indicated that he would seek additional clarity on THC Beverages.

Peterson presented the City Hall emergency action plan, detailing evacuation routes,
reassembly points and procedures for different types of emergencies.
Mayor Márquez Simula stated that she would like there to be a ramp on the side of the
Chambers Dias to make it more accessible. City Manager Chirpich indicated that he would
revisit the building code and the cost to see if this could be implemented.
8. Leadership Retreat – Executive Summary Review.
City Manager Chirpich reviewed the outcomes of the recent leadership retreat, including
the adoption of behavioral and operation norms, utilization of the True Colors assessment
program for council and staff and the ongoing efforts to implement the proposed changes
discussed during the retreat.
Councilmember James thanked the retreat planning team. She indicated that she would
like to see the norms posted in meeting rooms. Mayor Márquez Simula would like to have
the norms document included in the packet for meetings. She would like to address council
and staff by first name, and to utilize a “fist to five” method to get consensus on items that
are in the packet and to see if the council would like to immediately move forward with a
topic.
City Manager Chirpich informed the council that staff will continue to work on getting
meeting packets prepared by Thursday prior to a meeting. He asked for additional
clarification / feedback on the agenda topic proposal system that was discussed at the
retreat.
The consensus of the council was that they did not want to move forward with the agenda
topic proposal system. In addition to adding things to the planning spreadsheet the council
will also send an email to the City Manager / Mayor related to items to include on future
agendas.

recent updates that St. Anthony Village has made to their tobacco ordinance. Council
consensus was that Staff could prepare information on updates that could be made to the

Mayor Márquez Simula inquired about what was being done to promote the Youth

from the council as to how to proceed. The council consensus was to engage in a
conversation with the Lions related to allowing council to ride on city vehicles in the
parade.

participation. She would like to have subcommittees to review all the community groups

COMMUNITY FORUM
Rodney Seifert, City resident, mentioned he is a homeowner on Gould Avenue. He noted it was a
shame that the “consultant” who prepared the work session report was not at the meeting because
many residents had questions regarding parking on Gould Avenue.
Mayor Márquez Simula suggested that Mr. Seifert ask the questions he has, a nd the City Manager
would write the questions down in order to provide answers for him.
Mr. Seifert asked if there was a six-hour parking Ordinance in the City and mentioned that he had
received different answers in the past. He asked if there was a law about tabs on license plates, and
having updated tabs on license plates. He mentioned that there are many cars with expired tabs that
are parked outside his house. Mayor Márquez Simula replied that the best way to let the police know
about expired tabs is to call the Police Department. Mr. Seifert stated that he has been doing that. He
explained that people have been parking in front of his house, and he has not been able to load and
unload his walker or groceries. He added that he has a handicap sign in front of his house and has to
call the police three times in order to remove cars that are parked in his handicap parking spot. He
mentioned he had to wait 24 hours for the car to be towed. He stated he would like permit parking on
Gould Avenue. He asked why the consultant did not suggest permit parking for Gould Avenue . He
expressed his frustration with people constantly parking in front of his house.
Kathy Bennett, City resident, mentioned she had the same questions as Mr. Seifert. She added that she
has been calling the Police Department over the last three days about cars that have expired tabs. She
explained that the police would drive by the cars and not do anything about the tabs. She noted the
crime that has been occurring on Gould Avenue. She mentioned a woman parked three to four feet
over her neighbor's driveway, and when she confronted the woman, the woman yelled at her. Mayor
Márquez Simula asked Ms. Bennett if she could call the Police Department to report the incident. Ms.
Bennett explained that she went inside her house after the incident and was going to wait until the
next time the woman parked over someone's driveway so she could take a picture. She stated that
when Ratio Apartment was built, residents were told that they would have one parking spot per
resident. She added that it is not fair to the neighbors to have to absorb all of the parking from Ratio
Apartment tenants.

Mark Veronicas, City resident, asked why the 2:00 am to 6:00 am no parking was not relevant to the
study that the City conducted. He wondered if it was not relevant because it was not enforced in the
first place. He mentioned that the City noted “An unexpected observation over the past four months
has been intense use of commercial parking only, three-hour limit zone in the north and south frontage
of Gould Avenue between Central Avenue NE and Peters Place. Staff have observed this is often full
with bumper-to-bumper early in the morning to late in the evening.” He explained that residents are
paying the price. He added that the City mentioned that there were more citations in 2025, which
demonstrates that the City is enforcing compliance with the posted parking. He stated that he did not
know what that meant because the only time the Police Department did anything was when residents
called to complain. He explained that cars were not towed during snowstorms, and the Police
Department came out only once during the winter. He mentioned that City staff noted that parking on
both sides of Peters Place can create an extremely narrow drive lane in the winter and can create
challenges for snow plows. He wondered what happened with the plan of ticketing and towing cars
since it had not been happening. He asked if City staff have been reaching out to residents or if it has
just been residents reaching out to the City. He added that he has not received any information
regarding the plan from the City. He stated that he felt that there has not been transparency with the
City. He explained that the homeowners in the area have been invested since before the apartment
building was put in. He added that neighbors are scared to go outside due to the increase in crime and
emphasized that the issues came up when Ratio Apartment came in. He mentioned that he has some
comments he has gathered from his neighbors and asked if he could read the comments after the
other public comments. Mayor Márquez Simula replied that he could do that if the comments were
different than what he expressed.
Paul Edner, City resident, stated he would be reiterating some of the previous comments regarding
parking on Gould Avenue and Peters Place. Last year, the neighbors were promised a three-month
assessment after the parking signs were put up. During the last Council meeting, residents were told
that the assessment had not been done. During the last Council work session meeting, community
members were not allowed to contribute to the discussion. Last year, Councilmember Buesgens was in
support of the residents and had publicly stated that she would not accept the parking issues.
However, during the work session meeting, she only asked questions regarding how parking would
affect the businesses and wondered if the commercial parking could be extended. He noted that he
would like to have the residents' voices heard during a meeting regarding parking issues instead of
simply during the public forum portion of a meeting. He referenced section 502.3 of the Columbia
Heights Police Department Policy Manual, bullet point six, which reads “A motor vehicle should be
impounded if its license plates are more than 90 days past expiration.” He added that there have been
several cars that have had tabs that were expired. The homeowners have not noticed the police towing
cars based on expired license plate tabs. The six-hour parking rule is referenced in City Ordinance
1490- 7.205a, which says that no one may park in the same spot for more than six hours. The
Ordinance also says that owners of rental properties are to provide sufficient off -street parking for
tenants. He explained in his opinion, Ratio Apartment has not provided sufficient off-street parking for
tenants. He requested to have a meeting with Alatus, the community, and the Council in order to
resolve the issues. He mentioned that the neighbors try to get photos of illegal parking . The police will
tow cars if they are blocking driveways. He stated he would like to see cars towed for any illegal
parking.

Joe Macko, City resident, stated he is the president of the Columbia Heights Lions Club. He announced
that the Jamboree would start on Thursday, June 26, 2025. City Knights would play on Thursday Night.
The parade will be on Friday, June 27th, and there will be professional wrestling on Saturday, June 28th.
He noted that the carnival is $2 to get in.
Derek Lind, member of ACEIT, stated he would like to discuss election integrity. He mentioned the
City’s poll pads are used one day out of the year. Poll pad agreements came out in 2018, and he felt
that the County and City did not properly vote on it. He asked that the City look at the agreement. He
mentioned that the Ramsey attorney mentioned that “it is a lousy agreement for cities because it is a
good deal for the County but not the cities”. He added that he believed there could be some liability
and suggested that the City’s lawyers look at the agreement.
Mr. Veronicas read a comment from Tanya and Mike: “I appreciate everything you’re doing. I wish I
could be there this time. I just don’t think the City really cares. It doesn’t affect them. I really wish we
could get them to come out and see it for themselves, like on a weeknight and in the mornings on a
weekend. Also, after the movie theater is closed, to see what we are saying, but the police won’t even
do anything. If it were permit parking, they wouldn’t do anything anyway. People park in Ronny’s
handicap parking space in front of his house. I have never seen anything done about that.”
Mr. Veronicas read a comment from Alyssa: “My primary concern I have is enforcing the business
parking hours by Ratio. Additionally, I believe the City should consider implementing permit parking
due to the unusual activities occurring at night . It’s challenging to identify the cars involved. As
residents of our street, permit parking would provide assurances that people parking on our street are
residents. There have been instances where non -residents park on our street, playing loud music for
extended periods, and I can’t confirm their activities, but I’ve noticed the lighters flickering inside.
Personally, I feel uncomfortable confronting them. So, at the very least, some form of patrolling
enforcement behavior would be greatly appreciated. We’ve been patient with the City, but
unfortunately, the situation hasn’t improved in the past six months. Please consider enforcing permit
parking based on our persistence and the situation on Gould and Peters Place.”
Mr. Veronicas mentioned that his neighbor, had a comment about fixing the vent down the back of the
building. The vent was supposed to be fixed last year. The fan can still be heard, and he wondered if
something could be done about it. He mentioned that during the last Council meeting, City staff and
the Council were explaining that they could do permit parking in the area if the building were a
hospital because it would be a business instead of residential. He pointed out that the apartment is
both a business and residential. He feels that since it is a similar situation, it should not be difficult to
get permit parking for residents on Peters Place and Gould Avenue.
Mr. Seifer emphasized that he would like to know more about the six-hour parking rule in the City’s
Ordinance. He added that as a taxpayer, his tax money is going towards the “consultant”. He stated he
would like to speak with the consultant to understand what kind of facts and figures she used to come
up with her decisions. He wondered if the consultant could come up with an idea with the owners of
the apartment complex to either lower the cost of parking or work something out with the tenants.
Mayor Márquez Simula explained that the consultant is a City employee and is not a consultant. She
added the City would have answers during the next meeting. She noted that Council work sessions are

not the time for questions since the Council is working through business, but the Council does listen
during the appropriate time for comments. She expressed her appreciation for the comments.
Faith, City resident, explained she has lived in the City since 2005 in a safe neighborhood with low
crime. She mentioned that in 2019, her neighbor made a mechanic workshop and then upgraded it
into a larger area which has created a lot of noise. She explained that the police were unable to solve
the program. She added that her neighbor has about 70 people come to play volleyball, and it creates a
lot of noise in the neighborhood. She stated she left her bag out one day, and someone stole it. She
mentioned that she had called her neighbor to ask him to stop making so much noise, but nothing had
changed. She added that she has called the police many times, but nothing good has come out of it.
She emphasized that it is a residential zone and people need to live peacefully. She shared photos with
the Council. Mayor Márquez Simula stated that Community Development Director Forney would
provide her with his business card so that she could email the photos and he could follow up with her.
Faith explained that she came to America from a third-world country in order to have a better life. The
noise has made it difficult for her to sleep and live in a peaceful environment. She mentioned that the
crime has increased and that she has to have a camera in her backyard, otherwise everything would be
stolen.

ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
Ordinances and Resolutions
9. Consideration of Professional Services Agreement for the Development of Soccer Fi eld(s)
in Columbia Heights Park(s).
City Manager Chirpich stated that the item before the Council is a consideration of a
proposal for consultant engineering services with WSB, which is a firm that has worked
with the City’s park planning over the years. WSB has done a preliminary analysis of where
soccer fields might be cited in the City. Recently, the Council directed staff to put an
emphasis on the initiative to work with the City’s Park and Recreation Commission to begin
an engagement and planning effort around citing one or more soccer fields in the City. It
would include a look at several parks that have been identified as the most viable, and
engage with residents around those parks. Additionally, there would be engagement with
the stakeholders and users of the soccer fields. There would be meetings between the
Parks and Recreation Commission and the Council to discuss picking a location, having a
master plan, and having design work after the field is determined. The earliest construction
could begin would be spring 2026. WSB has provided an estimate of $36,250 to complete
the work. He added that staff are seeking a budget amendment for the Parks Capital
Improvement Fund 412 for $40,000 to allow a slight buffer for potential change orders.
Councilmember James expressed her appreciation for the project and added that she is
looking forward to the public meetings that will be coming up. She advocated for multiple
fields. She noted that the bid from the contractor was looking to have the final master plan
in October 2025 and asked to clarify the schedule. City Manager Chirpich agreed that the
final master plan would be completed in October. Councilmember James pointed out that
it would allow time to include the project in the budgeting plan for next year because the
$40,000 would be for the planning process, and the rest of the project would be included in
next year's budget.
Councilmember Spriggs expressed his excitement for the project and the community
outreach with the Parks and Recreation Commission, residents, and the Council. He added
that he is excited to see the initiative move forward. Mayor Márquez Simula agreed and
added that Councilmember Buesgens and Councilmember Deneen are in favor of moving
forward with creating the soccer fields.

Council has been following the parking issues on Gould Avenue and Peters Place and added that the
Community Development Department had prepared a report, which can be found in the work session
packet. She expressed her concern that cars have been parked in front of driveways and handicap
parking spaces since it is a safety issue. She noted that there are more police officers who have been
hired, which creates more opportunities for enforcement. She explained that the City relies on a
partnership with residents and encouraged residents to call and report issues in order for the City to
track concerns. She added that concerns can also be emailed or called into the City, and do not only
have to be shared during the Council meetings. Mayor Márquez Simula agreed and noted that the
Council reads all of the emails and will submit them as information in the A genda Packet.

BACKGROUND
At the May 5, 2025 Council Work Session, staff presented the staff letter below regarding Ordinance 1713. At
the May 12th City Council meeting the council conducted the first reading of Ordinance 1713, which would
allow city-sponsored events to serve alcohol. The ordinance also removes the outdated regulation limiting
alcohol in parks to only 3.2% malt liquor, instead allowing regular malt liquor. If approved, the ordinance will
go into effect on June 27.
May 5th Work Session Letter:
Earlier this year, the Communications Director observed that other communities were partnering with local
breweries to provide alcoholic beverages at city-sponsored events. This prompted a review of our current
ordinance regarding alcohol in parks, specifically Chapter 10.201, Section O, of the City Code. As it currently
stands, the ordinance prohibits the possession or consumption of intoxicating liquor or non -intoxicating malt
liquor in all city parks, parkways, and bathing beaches. However, the City Council may grant exceptions for
specific gatherings, including family events, employee-related events, and events hosted by non-profit, public
service, charitable, educational, or religious organizations within the community. Th ese exceptions only apply
to 3.2% malt liquor and are limited to the hours between 8:00 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. Alcohol consumption is not
permitted at public bathing beaches or within Silver Lake Beach Park. Additionally, the general prohibition
does not apply to Huset Park on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, or legal holidays between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00
nor does it apply to Murzyn Hall (Columbia Heights Fieldhouse) at any time.
With the goal of aligning with modern practices and supporting community engagement, s taff are proposing
an amendment to the ordinance. This ordinance change retains the city’s current framework for alcohol use in
parks but expands the allowance for the sale and consumption of malt liquor at city-sponsored events in city
parks. The proposal also includes removing the 3.2% malt liquor restriction, as this requirement inadvertently
limits the Columbia Heights Lions Club Beer Garden from operating on Thursdays, as the beverages served
typically exceed 3.2% alcohol content. The proposed revision modernizes our ordinance to reflect current City
standards and simplifies enforcement.
Ultimately, staff aim to increase participation in city events and enhance the overall experience for

attendees. Allowing malt liquor at designated city events can help foster a livelier and more engaging
atmosphere, encourage local partnerships (such as with breweries), and support economic and cultural
development. If any concerns or issues arise, city staff retain the authority to make administrative decisions
regarding when and where alcoholic beverages will be served at city events.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1713, there being ample copies available to the
public.
MOTION: Move to approve the second reading of Ordinance No. 1713, being an ordinance amending
chapter 10.201 of the Columbia Heights City code to allow the sale of alcohol at city sponsored events, and
to direct staff to send the summary ordinance for publication in the legal newspaper.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT
Chief Matt Markham
Columbia Heights Police Department
3989 Central Ave. NE
Columbia Heights, MN 55421
Dear Chief Markham:
An independent audit of Columbia Heights Police Department’s Portable Recording System (body-
worn cameras (BWCs)) was conducted on March 19, 2025. The objective of the audit was to verify
Columbia Heights Police Department’s compliance with Minnesota Statutes §§13.825 and
626.8473.
Data elements the audit includes:
Minnesota Statute §13.825
• Data Classification
• Retention of Data
• Access by Data Subjects
• Inventory of Portable Recording System Technology
• Use of Agency-Issued Portable Recording Systems
• Authorization to Access Data
• Sharing Among Agencies
Minnesota Statute §626.8473
• Public Comment
• Body-worn Camera Policy
Columbia Heights Police Department is located in Anoka County, Minnesota and is authorized for
thirty-one (31) peace officers. Columbia Heights Police Department utilizes Axon body-worn
cameras and Evidence.com cloud-based evidence management storage. The audit covers the period
March 1, 2023, through February 28, 2025.
Audit Requirement: Data Classification
Determine if the data collected by BWCs are appropriately classified.
Columbia Heights Police Department BWC data is presumptively private. All data collected during
the audit period is classified as private or nonpublic data. Columbia Heights Police Department had
no incidents of the discharge of a firearm by a peace officer, use of force that resulted in substantial
bodily harm, requests from data subjects for the data to be made accessible to the public, or court
orders directing the agency to release the BWC data to the public.
No discrepancies noted.
55
Item 8.
Audit Requirement: Retention of Data
Determine if the data collected by BWCs are appropriately retained and destroyed in accordance
with statutes.
Columbia Heights Police Department utilizes the General Records Retention Schedule for
Minnesota Cities and agency specified retention periods in Evidence.com. At the conclusion of a
BWC recording, metadata, including an Evidence.com category, is assigned via an interface with
the computer aided dispatch system. Each category has an associated retention period. Upon
reaching its retention date, evidence is systematically deleted. Deletion of the data is captured in the
audit trail.
A report consisting of all BWC data collected and deleted during the audit period was produced
from Evidence.com. Records from the Evidence Created Report were reviewed, and the date and
time the data was created was verified against the deletion date. Each of the records were deleted or
maintained in accordance with the record retention. Randomly selected audit trail reports were
verified against the Evidence Created Report, and each record was deleted or maintained in
accordance with the record retention.
Columbia Heights Police Department had received no requests from data subjects to retain BWC
data beyond the applicable retention period.
Supervisors monitor BWC data for proper categorization to ensure BWC data are appropriately
retained and destroyed.
No discrepancies noted.
Audit Requirement: Access by Data Subjects
Determine if individuals who are the subject of collected data have access to the data, and if the
data subject requests a copy of the data, other individuals who do not consent to its release must be
redacted.
BWC data is available to data subjects and access may be requested by submission of a Columbia
Heights Police Department Request for Information form. During the audit period, Columbia
Heights Police Department had received no requests to view BWC video but did receive and fulfill
requests for copies of BWC video from data subjects. Data subjects who had not consented to the
release of the data were redacted. A copy of the redacted video is stored in Evidence.com along
with the original copy. The request is documented in the Evidence.com audit trail and Sharing Audit
Report. Request for Information forms are retained in a folder.
No discrepancies noted.
56
Item 8.
Audit Requirement: Inventory of Portable Recording System Technology
Determine the total number of recording devices owned and maintained by the agency; a daily
record of the total number of recording devices actually deployed and used by officers, the policies
and procedures for use of portable recording systems by required by section 626.8473; and the
total amount of recorded audio and video collected by the portable recording system and
maintained by the agency, the agency’s retention schedule for the data, the agency’s procedures for
destruction of the data, and that the data are available to the public.
Columbia Heights Police Department’s BWC inventory consists of thirty-seven (37) devices. An
inventory report produced from Evidence.com detailed the number of recording devices owned and
maintained by the agency. The inventory included the device model, serial number, device name,
the officer assigned to the device, date of last upload, device status, error status, firmware version,
warranty date, date last docked, and camera status.
Columbia Heights Police Department BWC policy governs the use of portable recording systems by
peace officers while in the performance of their duties. The policy requires officers to ensure their
BWC is in good working order prior to going into service. Officers noting a malfunction at any time
are required to report the failure to his/her supervisor, submit an IT Help Desk ticket, and obtain a
functioning device as soon as reasonably practicable.
Peace officers were trained on the use of the BWCs during implementation. Newly hired officers
are trained as part of their field training program.
Randomly selected calls for service were verified against the Evidence Created Report and
confirmed that BWCs are being deployed, and officers are wearing and activating their BWCs. A
comparison between the total number of BWC videos created per quarter and calls for service
shows a consistent collection of BWC data.
Evidence.com queries and the Evidence Created Report detail the total amount of BWC data
created, stored/maintained, and deleted.
Columbia Heights Police Department utilizes the General Records Retention Schedule for
Minnesota Cities and agency specified retention periods in Evidence.com. BWC video is fully
deleted from Evidence.com upon reaching its scheduled deletion date. Metadata and audit trails are
maintained in Evidence.com after deletion of BWC audio and video. BWC data is available upon
request, and access may be requested by submission of a Columbia Heights Police Department
Request for Information form.
No discrepancies noted.
Audit Requirement: Use of Agency-Issued Portable Recording Systems
Determine if peace officers are only allowed to use portable recording systems issued and
maintained by the officer’s agency.
Columbia Heights Police Department’s BWC policy states that officers are prohibited from
57
Item 8.
using personally owned recording devices while on-duty without the express consent of the Shift
Sergeant.
No discrepancies noted.
Audit Requirement: Authorization to Access Data
Determine if the agency complies with sections 13.05, Subd. 5, and 13.055 in the operation of
portable recording systems and in maintaining portable recording system data.
Supervisors conduct monthly reviews of BWC data utilizing Axon Performance to ensure videos
are properly labeled and that BWCs are being utilized in compliance with policy.
Nonpublic BWC data is only available to persons whose work assignment reasonably requires
access to the data. User access is managed by the assignment of roles and permissions in
Evidence.com. Permissions are based on staff work assignments. Roles and Permissions are
administered by the Information Systems Specialist. Access to Evidence.com is password protected
and requires dual authentication.
The agency’s BWC policy and BWC procedures govern access to BWC data. Agency personnel
may access BWC data pursuant to lawful process and in accordance with policy, statute, and the
Minnesota Data Practices Act. User access to data is captured in the audit trail. The BWC policy
states that any member who accesses or releases recordings without authorization may be subject to
discipline.
When BWC data is deleted from Evidence.com, its contents cannot be determined. Columbia
Heights Police Department has had no security breaches. A BCA CJIS Security audit was
conducted in December of 2024.
No discrepancies noted.
Audit Requirement: Sharing Among Agencies
Determine if nonpublic BWC data is shared with other law enforcement agencies, government
entities, or federal agencies.
Columbia Heights Police Department’s BWC and Records Maintenance and Release policies
govern the sharing of BWC data. BWC data may be shared pursuant to lawful process and in
compliance with policy, statute, and the Minnesota Data Practices Act. Agencies seeking access to
BWC data are required to submit a written request. Sharing of data is captured in the audit trail. An
Evidence.com Sharing Audit Report provides documentation of shared data. Written requests are
retained.
No discrepancies noted.
58
Item 8.
Audit Requirement: Biennial Audit
Determine if the agency maintains records showing the date and time the portable recording system
data were collected, the applicable classification of the data, how the data are used, and whether
data are destroyed as required.
Evidence.com and the Evidence.com Evidence Created Report document the date and time portable
recording system data were collected and deleted. All BWC data collected during the audit period is
classified as private or nonpublic data. The Evidence.com audit trail document how the data are
used. The audit trail is maintained in Evidence.com after deletion of video.
No discrepancies noted.
Audit Requirement: Portable Recording System Vendor
Determine if portable recording system data stored in the cloud, is stored in accordance with
security requirements of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation Criminal Justice
Information Services Division Security Policy 5.4 or its successor version.
An Axon CJIS Compliance White paper outlines the specific security policies and practices for
Evidence.com and how they are compliant with the CJIS Security Policy. Axon has signed the
CJIS Security Addendum in all states and has performed statewide CJIS-related vendor
requirements in Minnesota. Axon has incorporated the CJIS Security Addendum by reference into
the Axon Master Services and Purchase Agreement. Axon maintains signed CJIS Security
Addendum certification pages for Axon personnel. Authorized Axon personnel are required to
complete Level 4 CJIS Security Training upon assignment and biennially thereafter.
No discrepancies noted.
Audit Requirement: Public Comment
Determine if the law enforcement agency provided an opportunity for public comment before it
purchased or implemented a portable recording system and if the governing body with jurisdiction
over the budget of the law enforcement agency provided an opportunity for public comment at a
regularly scheduled meeting.
Columbia Heights Police Department’s BWC system was purchased and implemented prior to the
requirement of Minn. Statute § 626.8473, Subd. 2.
No discrepancies noted.

ITEM: First Reading of Ordinance 1714, Amending the City’s Rental Density Cap

BACKGROUND
At the April 7 City Council work session, Community Development staff presented proposed edits to the City’s
rental density cap ordinance. Staff introduced several key decision points and provided a recommendation to
the Council, which is detailed in the attached staff letter from that meeting. Ultimately, the Council supported
staff’s recommendation, which is reflected in the updated ordinance language and the accompanying internal
policy for reviewing rental density cap exemption requests.
Ordinance 1714 shifts the administrative review of rental density cap exemptions to staff by outlining specific,
clearly defined examples of allowable exemptions. The ordinance is supported by an internal policy designed
to streamline the exemption process, establish clear expectations for the Council, and guide exemption
requests through a more consistent and transparent review and appeal process. This approach also helps
protect applicant privacy by reducing the need for public hearings where individuals might otherwise have to
disclose personal information.
Under this new process, staff will have the ability to approve exemptions when applications meet the criteria
and intent of the ordinance. For applicants who do not qualify, staff will clearly communicate the unlikelihood
of approval. In cases where applications fall outside the scope of the established criteria, staff will bring the
request to the City Council with a recommendation for approval or denial based on the in dividual
circumstances. Recommended approvals will be placed on the consent agenda. In cases where investors insist
on consideration despite not meeting the ordinance’s intent, staff will actively recommend denial. All
approved exemptions will be time-limited, with a maximum term of five years.
Staff recommend approval of Resolution 1714 and welcome any suggested edits to staffs internal policy draft.

ORDINANCE NO. 1714
BEING AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 5A ARTICLE IV OF THE COLUMBIA HEIGHTS CITY CODE TO
AMEND THE REGULATION OF RENTAL DENSITY FOR DETACHED SINGLE-FAMILY RENTAL DWELLINGS
The City of Columbia Heights does ordain:
Section 1
5A.401 of the Columbia Heights City Code is hereby amended to read as follows, to wit:
5A.401 OCCUPANCY LICENSE REQUIRED.
(A) No person, firm, government agency or corporation shall own a premises that is rented, leased, let, or
used for any type of occupancy in the City without having first obtained an occupancy license (license) as
hereinafter provided and outlined in the Property Maintenance Inspection Policy. Each such license shall
register annually with the City. If the license is denied, no occupancy of a premises, then vacant or which
become vacant, is permitted until a license has been issued. Apartment units within an unlicensed
apartment building for which a license application has been made and which units are in compliance with
this chapter may be occupied provided that the unlicensed units within the apartment building do not
create a hazard to the health and safety of persons in occupied units.
(B) Rental Density for Detached Single-Family Dwellings.
(1) In any zoning district, the quantity of detached single-family dwellings eligible to obtain a rental
occupancy license on any block shall not exceed the number prescribed in Table 1, unless a
temporary license is granted by the City Council as provided herein. Table 1 indicates how many
detached single-family dwellings per block are able to be licensed as a rental property based on
the number of detached single-family dwellings that exist in a block.
TABLE 1
Lots/Block Rental Units Allowed
1-14 1

35-44 4
45-54 5
55-64 6
65-74 7
75-84 8
85-94 9
(2) The following guidelines shall apply to determine eligible detached single-family dwellings, blocks
and lots:
(a) For the purposes of this section, a BLOCK shall be defined as an area of land enclosed
within the perimeter of streets, watercourses, public parks, municipally owned lots, and
City boundaries and further defined by an official map maintained by the City.
127
Item 12.
(b) This section shall apply to legally conforming lots of record and legally nonconforming lots
of record. For the purposes of this section, lots of record may also be referred to as
PROPERTIES, PROPERTY, or LOTS.
(c) If a block contains more than one type of residential dwelling, only lots that contain
detached single-family dwellings shall be included in the calculation of the total number
of lots per block.
(d) Two-family, town home, twinhome, multiple-family, commercial, public, institutional,
and industrial uses located in any zoning district shall not be included in the calculation of
the total number of lots per block.
(3) If the number of detached single-family rental dwellings 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, no additional detached single-family dwelling rental licenses shall be approved
for the block, unless a temporary license is granted by the City Council as provided herein. Existing
detached single-family dwelling rental licenses may be renewed; however, should a rental license
not be renewed, terminated due to the sale of a property by the current license holder, transfer
of property ownership occurs, or if the rental license is revoked or lapses, the rental license shall
not be reinstated unless it is in conformance with this section and other applicable sections of the
City Code.
(4) If the number of detached single-family dwelling 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.
(a) The Community Development Director or their designee shall conduct an administrative
review of the request in accordance with eligibility criteria and procedures established by
City policy.
(b) A temporary rental license may be granted administratively if the applicant demonstrates
that the request meets qualifying circumstances, including but not limited to:
i. Temporary job relocation with intent to return to the property;
ii. Military deployment or reassignment;
iii. Inheritance of the property with intent to transfer or return to single family use.
(c) A property owner who does not meet the eligibility criteria may appeal the administrative
decision to the City Council. The Council may review the appeal and grant or deny a
temporary license in its sole discretion.
(d) A temporary license granted under this section shall not exceed a maximum term not to
exceed five years.
(e) Persons requesting a temporary rental license must submit an annual application and
remain in compliance with all City rental regulations.
(C) Exception. Owner occupied Single-family home occupancies.

City of Columbia Heights
Internal Policy: Responding to Rental Density Cap Exemption Requests
I. Purpose
To establish a consistent, fair, and efficient internal procedure for reviewing, processing,
and responding to requests for exemptions to the rental density cap as established in
Ordinance 1685. The policy ensures that staff apply standardized criteria, protect
applicant privacy, and maintain the integrity of the City's rental housing goals.
II. General Guidelines
Staff will use an administrative review process for exemption requests that meet
established criteria.
Applicants must complete the Rental Density Cap Exemption Request Form and
submit supporting documentation.
Exemption requests will be reviewed and approved internally by the Community
Development Director or designee.
An appeals process is available for applicants who do not meet the criteria but
wish to be reviewed by the City Council.
III. Standard Eligibility Criteria
Staff may approve exemptions if all the following are met:
1. The applicant is the owner of the property.
2. The owner does not own multiple rental properties in Columbia Heights.
3. The reason for the exemption falls into one of the following categories:
o Temporary job relocation with intent to return.
o Military deployment or reassignment.
o Property was inherited and intended for transfer or sale to a family
member.
IV. Exemption Term Limits
130
Item 12.
Up to 5 years for qualifying cases such as military deployment or probate.
A property owner has six months from approval to obtain a rental license.
Renewals may be granted upon review and demonstrated continued eligibility.
V. Application Review Process
1. Initial Intake
o Staff logs the request in the Rental Cap Exemption Tracking System.
o Verify ownership and assess if property is within a capped area.
2. Document Review
o Confirm completeness of the application and supporting documentation.
o Assess exemption against eligibility criteria.
3. Administrative Decision
o If eligible, Community Development Director (or designee) approves the
request.
o If not eligible, staff will offer the applicant the option to appeal to City
Council while acknowledging to the applicant if staff will recommend
approval or denial of the application. Staff will also notify the applicant that
the council generally follows the staff recommendation making it unlikely
for the appeal to be seen as favorable without a positive staff
recommendation.
4. Notices Issued
o Staff will send written approval or denial within 10 business days of
receiving a complete application.
o Approved exemptions include:
Terms of exemption
License application deadline
Conditions for renewal or revocation
VI. Appeal Process
131
Item 12.
If the request does not meet standard criteria, the applicant may appeal to City Council:
Staff will prepare a recommendation memo, including:
o Summary of facts
o Reason for staff denial
o Explanation of any mitigating circumstances
The council will review at a regular meeting:
o Recommended approvals may be placed on the Consent Agenda.
o Recommended denials will be placed on the Regular Agenda for
discussion.
VII. Denial Criteria
Staff will recommend denial if:
Applicant owns multiple rental properties.
The exemption request clearly indicates a speculative or investment-driven
purchase.
Applicants have a history of rental noncompliance, other than initial illegal rental
situations, or unresolved code violations.
The request conflicts with the intent of preserving homeownership opportunities.

BACKGROUND:
At the February 2nd work session, the City Council discussed the intent to review the current rental density cap
regulations and exemption process. Staff have brought forward a few ideas that were discussed at the work
session as possible revisions to the cap.
In 2023, the City established a rental density cap via Ordinance 1685. The purpose of the cap being to prevent
an over-concentration of rental properties, promote a balanced residential housing stock, and preserve
homeownership opportunities. In general, staff believe that the cap continues to have a positive effect on
these overall goals. However, staff continuously receive calls and requests for rental licenses that do not meet
the cap. While a limited number of applicants request exemptions, those who qualify have been granted them.
Given that nearly two years have passed since the implementation of the program, staff agree that this is an
appropriate time to revisit the regulations and discuss possible adjustments.
In reviewing the data related to the cap, staff found that few of the approved exemptions have followed
through with obtaining a rental license. Of the 13 exemptions approved, only 5 have resulted in licensed
rentals. Additionally, most calls staff receive come from potential investors who are aware of the cap and are
inquiring whether a specific property can be licensed as a rental.

- Looking to rent the property while traveling for work.
- Purchased the property not knowing it could not be a rental.
- Received from a family passing would like to rent the property until other family can take over.
- Tenant issues caused a delay in moving in at the same time their Baby is due.
- Received from a family passing would like to rent the property until other family can take over.
- Moved out of the home which had roommates. This caused an illegal rental; the tenants are currently
under personal and financial duress and the owner will look to sell in the future.
- Looking to rent the property while traveling for work.
- Temporarily relocating for a job.
Over the past month, staff have heard feedback regarding the challenges with the current rental density cap
regulations and exemption process. The primary concerns include:
- The two-year exemption period may not accommodate certain life circumstances such as military
deployment, job relocation, or properties tied up in probate.
- Applicants are required to present personal financial or life circumstances in a public hearing, raising
concerns about privacy.
- Without clear, standardized criteria, decisions on exemptions may appear inconsistent.
- While providing exemptions, it is important not to undermine the intent of limiting rental conversions.
- Rental exemptions are taking up council and staff time.
The largest problem staff have identified is that there was no policy drafted with the creation of the density
cap. As part of the council’s decisions staff will develop a policy on the execution of the exemptions to ensure a
unified staff response.
Staff concur with the friction points highlighted above and have brought forth for discussion the following the
solutions to consider:
Shifting to an Administrative Review Process
Staff have identified two possible approaches, though we are open to further disc ussion with the council:
- Maintain City Council review and develop an exemption policy. Qualified exemptions would be placed
on the consent agenda. Exigent circumstances involving property owners who do not own other rental
properties would be presented to the Council with a letter. Applicants who own multiple properties and
purchased a home as a rental will be informed that staff will recommend against approval and that the
Council is strongly opposed to considering exemptions for landlords.
- Amend the ordinance to allow staff to handle qualified exemptions, with approvals based on qualifying
eligibility. An appeal process would be established for cases that do not meet the eligibility criteria but
align with the intent of the exemption process. Staff would provide recommendations for or against any
appeal. Appeals with a recommendation for could be added to consent, with those in opposition
brought to the council.
Defining Clear and Consistent Eligibility Criteria
134
Item 12.
City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 3
Creating an approved list of qualifying circumstances, such as military deployment, job relocation, and probate.
Examples below follow the current trends in exemption approval. Staff are open to recommendations or edits.
- The owner is relocating for work and intends to return to the property as their primary residence.
- The property was inherited, and the owner intends to transfer it to a family member.
- A documented personal or financial hardship (e.g., medical issues, pregnancy, or family emergencies)
has delayed the owner's ability to occupy the home as intended.
- The owner has been deployed or temporarily reassigned to a new military duty station.
Adjusting the Time Frame for Exemptions
- Consideration of longer exemptions for specific circumstances.
- Possible introduction of renewable exemptions contingent on compliance with rental regulations.
- Council approval of tailored exemption timelines.
Ultimately staff have developed the recommendation below as a starting point but are open to the results of
the council’s discussion. Staff recommend adopting Option 2 (administrative review). This approach prevents
homeowners from having to present personal information in a public hearing while maintaining transparency
and consistency. In situations where an applicant does not meet the standard exemption criteria, staff would
review the case and provide a recommendation for or against approval. If it pleases the council, exemptions
recommended for approval could be placed on the consent agenda. For investors seeking exemptions that do
not align with the intent of the ordinance, staff will recommend against approval. Additionally, staff
recommend increasing the compliance period from three months to six months to align with the expiration
timeline for building permits. This would also reduce the number of applicants needing to return for additional
approval. Staff do not recommend requiring a property owner to have lived in the home for one year before
qualifying for an exemption. This requirement could inadvertently disqualify applicants with genuine exigent
circumstances. Last but not least, staff are open to discussion but suggest a cap of five years for qualifying
cases.
SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS:
Staff are open to considering changes to the rental density cap processes and regulations and find the
ordinance highly effective at achieving the council’s goals.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff are looking for feedback before drafting an amendment to the ordinance and developing a related policy.

ITEM: Consideration of a Rental Density Cap Exemption for 2308 Maiden Ln

BACKGROUND
On May 14, 2025, the owner of 2308 Maiden Ln, reached out to the Community Development Department in
writing to request an exemption from the single-family rental density cap. The property is located on Block
184 with seven (7) single family rentals out of 50 total single-family units and an allotment of five (5) single
family rentals. The applicant is requesting permission to rent out their home as a long-term investment. The
owner does not own any other properties within Columbia Heights but resides within the city. The applicant
asks the City to consider their request. Attached is the application that staff received.
At the April 7, 2025, Council Work session, staff presented potential amendments to the Rental Density Cap
ordinance. While these changes have not yet been adopted, it is useful to understand how this exemption
would be evaluated under the proposed revisions. Under the draft policy, this request would not qualify for an
exemption, and the applicant would be notified of the denial. Should the applicant choose to appeal, staff
would provide guidance on the appeal process.
In such a scenario, staff would bring the appeal to the council and recommend denial b ased on the following
considerations:
1. The applicant has not proven exigent circumstances other than they would like to have a rental
license.
This section is informational, and the process described has no bearing on the current request but informs the
councils future discussion.
If approved, Resolution 2025-042 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 6
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 with the ability to rent the 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.

A RESOLUTION APPROVING SINGLE FAMILY RENTAL EXEMPTION REQUEST FOR THE RENTAL APPLICATION
AT 2308 MAIDEN LN, COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MN 55421
BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council (the “Council”) of the City of Columba Heights, Minnesota (the “City”) as
follows:
On August 14, 2023, the Council approved ordinance 1685 which established a rental density limit for detached
single-family rental dwellings by splitting the city into blocks and caping the number of rentals per that block;
and
Ordinance 1685 establishes that applicants that are not allowed to obtain a single-family rental license because
of the density limits will be able to request an exemption and the Council has sole discretion to grant the
exemption requests for a span of one year, if the situation lasts longer than a year, the applicant can re-apply
for the temporary license but a property owner is only allowed a temporary license for no more than two years;
and,
The City has received a request from the owner of 2308 Maiden LN, Columbia Heights, MN 55421 to make an
exception for the property and allow a new rental license to be issued.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the City does hereby approve the exemption request for 2308 Maiden LN,
