CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MINNESOTA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION APRIL 5, 2017 8:00 AM CITY HALL -- 1245 WEST HIGHWAY 96 1. CALL MEETING TO ORDER Chair Erickson called the meeting to order at 8:04 a.m. ROLL CALL Present: Chair Dan Erickson, Commissioners David Radziej, Kyle Lassen, Liz Johnson, and Rob Williams Also Present: Council Liaison Dave McClung, Senior Planner Matthew Bachler, and Deputy Clerk Jolene Trauba 2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA It was the consensus of the Commission to accept the agenda as presented. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES It was the consensus of the Commission to accept the March 1, 2017 meeting minutes as presented. 4. UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS A. Business Retention and Expansion Senior Planner Matthew Bachler stated that the Red Fox/Gray Fox business district will be the focus of the BRE visits this year. He noted that the priority business list and survey have been updated. He discussed the sample questions provided as guidelines. He suggested that one person be the coordinator for each business visit and that there be two Commissioners and/or staff at each visit. Chair Dan Erickson wondered if they were going to be meeting with all of the businesses on the list. Senior Planner Bachler said that the goal would be to visit all ten of the businesses on the list. EDC Minutes April 5, 2017 Page 2 of 3 Commissioner Liz Johnson suggested that when setting up the visits, the businesses should be told the topics that will be addressed. Discussion ensued regarding relationships with businesses on the list and it was determined who would be the lead Commissioner for each business visit. It was decided that the lead Commissioner will schedule the interview, then send an email to the rest of the Commission to see who would be available to participate in the visit. Senior Planner Bachler will send a list of the businesses and the corresponding lead Commissioner. Council Liaison Dave McClung stated that he would be available to go to any visit, but noted that it could change the dynamics of the meeting because he is a City Council member. B. State of the City Senior Planner Bachler reviewed the memorandum and said the purpose of the discussion was to discuss what was done in previous years at the State of the City event and begin to plan for the 2017 State of the City. Discussion ensued regarding costs of food and venue, and suggestions were made for possible new locations, including the Tavern Grill. Council Liaison McClung felt we should have a morning and evening event to reach businesses and residents. Commissioner Rob Williams wondered if the City could provide child care at the evening meeting. Chair Erickson suggested that the main focus for the morning meeting should be businesses and topics should include road construction and city projects/updates. He added that a representative from a local business could also be invited to present. Council Liaison McClung thought Land O’Lakes may be interested in coming to talk about their construction project. Commissioner David Radziej wondered if the City engineer could talk about work being done in the City instead of a representative from MNDOT. Chair Erickson noted that time set aside for business networking was essential at the morning meeting. Commissioner Williams suggested that someone from the Mounds View School District talk about how they are planning for the influx of new students from the TCAAP development. Consensus was that the morning event should focus on TCAAP and business issues, and the evening event should focus on housing and schools. EDC Minutes April 5, 2017 Page 3 of 3 5. UPDATES A. Commission Members None B. Council Liaison Council Liaison McClung stated that the Commissioners should have received an email regarding representation on the task force that will be discussing the civic property use on the TCAAP property. He suggested that the Chair be a part of the committee and one other Commissioner. He noted that the City is not a part of the Master Development Agreement discussion between Ramsey County and Alatus, but the Council is hoping for news in early May. He noted that the County Road I roundabout should be completed by the end of 2017. Chair Erickson inquired about the status of the joint meeting between the EDC and the City Council. Senior Planner Bachler said that meeting was scheduled for February but had been postponed. Council Liaison McClung noted that the Council has no issues with the Business Retention and Expansion visits going forward. C. Staff Comments The Oath of Office was given to Chair Erickson and Commissioner Lassen. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 9:22 a.m. __________________________ __________________________ _ Dan Erickson, Chair Jolene Trauba Deputy Clerk City of Arden Hills Economic Development Commission May 3, 2017 Page 1 of 1 DATE: May 3, 2017 EDC Agenda Item 5.A TO: Economic Development Commission Chair and Commissioners FROM: Matthew Bachler, Senior Planner SUBJECT: Higher Education Moratorium Study Background In October 2016, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2016-008 An Interim Ordinance Temporarily Prohibiting Land Use Applications and Reviews for Higher Education Uses in Residential, Business, Industrial, and Other Zones. The moratorium can last up to one year to prepare a study to determine the impacts and benefits from higher education land uses and provide recommendations for possible Zoning Code and/or Comprehensive Plan amendments regarding higher education uses. On February 13, 2017, the City Council approved a proposal from WSB & Associates to complete the planning and economic development study. The EDC will be asked to review and provide feedback on the following components of the study at upcoming meetings. EDC Meeting Topic May 3 Review typical emplo yment and economic activity from allowed commercial and employment uses June 7 Examine amount of land and building space available in commercial and employment zones Staff from WSB will be in attendance at the meeting on May 3 to present and solicit feedback from the EDC. A memo and supplemental attachments from WSB staff is included as an attachment.

The moratorium can last up to one year to prepare a study to determine the impacts and benefits from higher education land uses and provide recommendations for possible Zoning Code and/or Comprehensive Plan amendments regarding higher education uses. On February 13, 2017, the City Council approved a proposal from WSB & Associates to complete the planning and economic development study. The study is comprised of seven components: • Background gathering and analysis of the existing Campus Master Plans for the University of Northwestern and Bethel University. • Analysis of the Commercial and Employment Uses currently allowed in the various Commercial and Industrial Zones. • Analysis of the Employment and Economic Activity that results from the allowed Commercial and Employment Uses. • The regulation of Higher Education Uses within other communities. • Analysis of existing parcels and buildings within the Commercial and Industrial zones. • Preparation of a Final Report. • Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan Amendments based on the Report’s recommendations. Eric Zweber, WSB Senior Planner and Arden Hills Interim City Planner, will be leading the study efforts with the Economic Development Commission with assistance from Jim Gromberg, Economic Development Specialist. At their meeting on May 3, 2017, the Economic Development Commission will be reviewing the two economic development subjects of the study: Analysis of the Commercial and Employment Uses currently allowed in the various EDC – Arden Hills April 27, 2017 Page 2 P:\Admin\Committees & Commissions\Committees & Commissions\Economic Development Commission (EDC)\2017\05 03 17\Higher Ed Study\WSB Memo 04272017.docx Commercial and Industrial Zones; and Analysis of the Employment and Economic Activity that results from the allowed Commercial and Employment Uses. Commercial and Industrial Zones For the purposes of this study, all applicable land uses within the City were assigned a North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code. The NAICS is used by businesses and governments throughout North America, and is also used for industry information in the United States Census. It is being used for this study so that the land uses within districts correlate and can be evaluated in the same manner as employment and income by industry. The following discussion will center on the two tables below. The first table is an evaluation of the Purpose Statements for each individual district. The statements were grouped by topic to show the intended purpose or areas of emphasis of each zoning district. The complete list of each zoning district’s purpose statements are provided in Attachment A. The second table shows which industries (based on NAICS code) are currently allowed in each zoning district. The table breaks down whether the uses are permitted, accessory, conditional, conditional accessory or allowed by Planned Unit Development. The complete list of uses allowed in each zoning district is provided in Attachment B. To evaluate these tables, we have grouped two or three zoning districts together based on overall similarity. The discussion will focus on where the uses and purpose statements are similar between the districts, as well as where they are different. Group 1: Neighborhood Business (NB) & Limited Business (B-1) Purpose Topics: • Residential Transition: Both of these districts discuss residential transition in their purpose statements. Some characteristics of this purpose include: to be located at the edge of residential neighborhoods, to provide goods and services to adjacent residents, and to limit the type, size and intensity of use, so as not to be disruptive to residents nearby. • Pedestrian, Bicycle & Public Transport: This topic is discussed in the purpose statement for NB, but not B-1. Goals include making access safe and convenient to pedestrians and bicyclists, to have connected sidewalks, and access to public transportation. • Sense of Place: Again, this topic is included in the purpose statement for NB, but not B-1. The statement discusses having a public commons so people have a place to gather, as well as to comply with the City’s gateway requirements. Uses Allowed: The uses allowed in the NB and B-1 districts are generally very similar. There are ten industries that are allowed in both districts and only three industry codes that are allowed, in some form, in B-1 but not in NB. These industries include: Transportation and Warehousing, Educational Services, and Arts, Entertainment and Recreation. These three industries typically require larger development areas that would not necessarily fit well within a more residential setting. EDC – Arden Hills April 27, 2017 Page 3 P:\Admin\Committees & Commissions\Committees & Commissions\Economic Development Commission (EDC)\2017\05 03 17\Higher Ed Study\WSB Memo 04272017.docx Group 2: General Business (B-2), Service Business (B-3) and Retail Center District (B-4) Purpose Topics: • Mixed Use District: Of the three districts, only B-2 has encouraging mixed use development where people can live, work and play as a purpose • Pedestrian, Bicycle & Public Transport: Again, only B-2 has this emphasized in its purpose statement. • Sense of Place: A place to gather and socialize is in the purpose statement of only the B-2 district. • Architectural/Identity Elements: All three districts have this topic in their respective purpose statements. This shows that all districts are meant to be visually attractive, and in some cases, have a distinctive look. • Nuisances/Traffic: Again, all three districts include language in their purpose statements regarding preventing nuisances to neighboring properties and minimizing traffic. • Implementation of City Plans: The City has adopted a guiding plan for the B-2 district, and one of the purposes of the district is to implement that plan. The B-3 and B-4 districts do not have guiding plans. • Flexibility in Land Uses & Site Development Standards: The B-3 district promotes more flexibility in these areas than in other districts in order to achieve the ultimate goals of the district. • Grouping/Critical Mass: All three of these districts emphasize the importance of grouping similar and mutually supportive businesses together. • Business Prosperity: This topic is in the purpose statements of the B-3 and B-4 districts. • Redevelopment: Redevelopment is stated as a priority within the B-3 and B-4 districts. It discusses allowing transitional reuse of buildings until they can be redeveloped and prohibiting uses that would impede redevelopment. • Surrounding Communities: Allowing for uses that serve not only residents, but surrounding communities is a priority in the B-4 district. • Serving the Community and Motorists: Maintaining an adequate supply of different businesses to serve residents, and having businesses with easy access to arterial streets and highways is emphasized in the B-3 district. Uses Allowed: These three districts have fourteen industries that are allowed in all of them. The only industry that is not universally allowed is Real Estate and Rental Leasing, which is only allowed by Conditional Use Permit in B-3. Group 3: Gateway Business (GB) and I-FLEX Purpose Topics: • Architectural/Identity Elements: This topic is present in the purpose statement for the GB district. The GB district is an entry point to the City and highly visible to motorists passing through. EDC – Arden Hills April 27, 2017 Page 4 P:\Admin\Committees & Commissions\Committees & Commissions\Economic Development Commission (EDC)\2017\05 03 17\Higher Ed Study\WSB Memo 04272017.docx • Nuisances/Traffic: Both of the districts emphasize only allowing uses that will not create traffic issues on surrounding roads. • Natural Resources/Environmental Elements: A purpose of the GB district is to protect the site’s natural resources. • Implementation of City Plans: The City has adopted a Comprehensive Development Plan called the I-694/I-35W Plan that pertains to the GB area, and a purpose of the district is to implement that plan. • Flexibility in Land Uses & Site Development Standards: One purpose of the I-FLEX district is to allow flexibility in standards. This item is not present in the GB purpose statement. • Maintain Existing Character: This topic is repeated several times in the purpose statements for the I-FLEX district. The goal is to protect and enhance existing development, while also allowing for new development that fits with the existing character of the area. Uses Allowed: The uses allowed within these two districts are almost identical. The only industry that is allowed in GB and not in I-FLEX is Accommodation and Food Services. Group 4: Limited Industrial (I-1) and General Industrial (I-2) Purpose Topics: • Compatibility with Existing Development/Surrounding Uses: Both of these districts have this element in their purpose statements. This topic aims to mitigate the negative effects that can sometimes accompany industrial uses, and ensure that all the businesses in the district fit well together. • Provides an Area for Industrial Uses to Locate: o For the I-1 district, this refers to keeping the intensity of land utilization lower than in the I-2 district. o For the I-2 district, the intent is to provide an area where more intense industrial uses can locate. Uses Allowed: There are eleven industries that are permitted in both industrial districts. The only industry permitted in the I-1 district that is not permitted in the I-2 district is Arts, Entertainment and Recreation.

Due to their space irregularities and the context of Arden Hills the following industries have been excluded from this analysis: Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting; Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extractions; Utilities; Construction; Management of Companies; and Public Administration. The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development provided the average hourly wages for each of the fourteen (14) industries within the seven county metropolitan area. Wages were then multiplied by 2,080 hours to calculate the median gross salary for a full-time employee. As the table show, the Information industry has the highest median gross salary of $131,248 and the Accommodation and Food Services industries have the lowest of $19,760. The square foot per employee figures were derived from a similar study conducted in Reno, NV by Economic and Planning Systems Inc. who used national industry averages and norms. These numbers were compared with the UMore AUAR traffic study, a Kansas DOT Corridor Master Plan, the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual and architectural guidelines. These studies show that office based employment fields have the least space per employee (250 square feet) while Transportation and Warehousing and Wholesale Trade have the most space per employee (1,500 square feet). The salary per 1,000 square feet for each NAISC classification were calculated by dividing 1,000 by the square foot per employee and then multiplying that number by the median gross salary. A building with an Information industry has the highest median payroll of $524, 992 per 1,000 square feet while a building with Accommodation and Food Services industries has the lowest median payroll of $32,999 per 1,000 square feet. Reviewing these figures, the industries can be Category NAISC #NAISC Classification Median Wage Median Gross Salary (full-time) Sq. Ft. Per Employee Employees Per 1,000 Sq. Ft. Salary Per 1,000 Sq.

Category 1 industries are technical and professional industries that normally work in an office building. Category 2 industries do not have the same similarities. Manufacturing has a high median income ($114,941) but has an average of 1,000 square feet per employee, four times the amount of the area for the average office employee. Health Care and Social Assistance and Retail Trade have lower median incomes ($42,723 and $61,048 respectively) but require less area per employee (400 square feet per employee). Administrative and Support is an office based industry, but its median income ($38,730) is much lower than other office based industries. Category 3 industries are either low wage industries (Arts and Entertainment; Education; or Accommodations and Food Services) or better than average wage jobs requiring a larger area per employee (Transportation and Warehousing or Wholesale Trade). The disposable income figures were calculated by multiplying the salary per 1,000 square foot column by 9.8%, which according to Business Analyst 1 is what the average household spends on food away from home, alcoholic beverages, and entertainment and recreation. The disposable income figure can show potential economic impact on the community, but employees will only spend money in Arden Hills if there are businesses to spend that money in. In other words, Category 1 industries will have their greatest impact on the local economy when there are Category 3 businesses (Arts and Entertainment and Accommodations and Food Services) for those Category 1 employees to spend their disposable income at. Economic Impact of the Business and Industrial Zones The following tables illustrate some opportunities within the Arden Hills zoning code for each of the fourteen (14) industry sectors. As stated above, the industries in Category 1 are the most valuable for a local economy in terms of salary based on building square footage. In general, if a city chooses to attract Category 1 and Category 2 industries, Category 3 industries will generally follow based on market forces. 1 Business Analyst is a data processing servicer that used ESRI technologies and US Census data.
