Sustainability Design Guidelines
Last Revised: January 17, 2025
1. Purpose. The purpose of the Sustainability Design Guidelines (SDG) is to advance the TCAAP Joint
Development Authority’s (JDA’s) mission to advance sustainable development, reduce energy use and
carbon dioxide emissions, and thereby mitigate the impacts of climate change from the Rice Creek
Commons development. These guidelines establish the sustainability standards for development on
the site and serve to implement the Green Energy Vision and Clean Energy Policy, which has the goal
of an all‐electric, carbon‐free development. These guidelines also support the JDA’s pursuit of LEED
for Communities (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design v4.1 for Communities: Plan +
Design) certification. It is the goal of the JDA that each building and parcel in Rice Creek Commons
shall comply with the SDG. The JDA will apply these guidelines within the Rice Creek Commons
development through Development Agreements that are subject to JDA approval
2. Guidelines
2.1. Sustainability Certification. Each building and tenant improvement shall achieve LEED BD+C New
Construction certification at the silver level or above using the newest version available at the
time of registration. The LEED boundary for each improved parcel of land within the
Development shall be the same as the boundary of that parcel. Other certification systems will
be considered for one‐ to four‐unit residential buildings, including the DOE’s Zero Energy Ready
Home (ZERH) program and Phius Passive House standards.
2.2. Building Decarbonization.
2.2.1. Energy Efficiency. All buildings and tenant improvements shall achieve: 50% better energy
efficiency than the applicable Minnesota Energy Code, certification from the DOE’s Zero
Energy Ready Home (ZERH) program, or Phius CORE certification as a Passive House.
2.2.2. Electrification. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all buildings shall be all‐
electric and shall not use any fossil fuels. Any waivers of this provision will be restricted to
systems or devices for which an equivalent all‐electric system or design is unavailable,
impractical, or is determined to present an equity gap, as reasonably determined by JDA. In
the event of a waiver, buildings the JDA allows to use any fossil fuels must offset an
equivalent amount of carbon emissions each year.
2.2.3. Renewable Energy. All buildings in the Development must install photovoltaic (PV) systems
that either:
2.2.3.1. generate, on an annual basis, enough electricity to meet one hundred twenty
percent (120%) of the building's anticipated energy use; or
2.2.3.2. include a rooftop array with a rated capacity of not less than 10.75 watts per gross
square foot of roof area and a covered parking array for all parking lots containing
twenty or more parking spaces ‐‐ including the top level of multi‐level parking
structures – with a rated capacity of not less than 7.5 watts per gross square foot of
parking area.
Updated 1/17/2025
All panels used in PV systems must be rated as Tier 1 panels and, if applicable, qualify
under the Inflation Reduction Act for the Investment Tax Credit. Any renewable energy
credits certificates (RECs) generated from PV systems in the Development shall be
credited to the Development as a whole. Additionally, all purchased electricity must
come from a green power purchase program and include bundled RECs. Projects that
are not able to generate enough energy, on an annual basis, to meet one hundred
percent of their energy use, based on meeting this guideline, must purchase green
power for the remainder.
2.3. District Energy. If a District Energy System is available, all buildings shall connect to the District
Energy System for heating and cooling.
2.4. Embodied Carbon. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all buildings shall conduct a
whole building life‐cycle assessment and achieve at least a 10% reduction in global warming
potential, using the calculation methods established in LEED BD+C: New Construction. This
Section does not apply to single family homes or tenant improvements within commercial
buildings.
2.5. Electric Vehicle Infrastructure. The Development shall include infrastructure to support electric
vehicles (EV) – as defined by the International Building Code – as follows:
2.5.1. Provide electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) in a minimum of two percent (2%) of all
public parking spaces. Clearly identify and reserve these spaces for the sole use by plug‐in
electric vehicles.
2.5.1.2.5.2. For non‐residential parcels where four or more vehicle parking spaces are
provided, not less than 4% of the total number of parking spaces or not less than 8% of
designated employee‐only parking spaces shall be EV‐ ready spaces or EV‐installed EVSE
(Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) spaces. Not less than 30% of the total number of parking
spaces shall be EV‐ capable spaces, EV‐ ready spaces, or EV‐installedEVSE spaces.
2.5.3. For residential parcels, not less than 20% of the total number of parking spaces shall be EV‐
ready spaces or EV‐installedEVSE spaces. Not less than 75% of the total number of parking
spaces shall be EV‐ capable spaces, EV‐ ready spaces, or EV‐installedEVSE spaces.
2.5.4. All EVSE shall meet the following requirements: Provide a Level 2 charging capacity (208‐
240 volts) or greater. Comply with the relevant regional standard for electrical connectors,
such as: SAE Surface Vehicle Recommended Practice J1772. Be capable of responding to
time‐of‐use market signals (e.g., price).
2.5.5. Terminology guidance: Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE): The conductors, including
the ungrounded, grounded and equipment grounding conductors, and the EV connectors,
attachment plugs, and all other fittings, devices, power outlets, or apparatuses installed
specifically for the purpose of transferring energy between the premises wiring and the EV.
2.5.5.1. EV‐installed: A designated parking space that has all the infrastructure and a
charging station to charge an electric vehicle on the day the building permit is
approved. The EVSE shall be Level 2 or greater.
Updated 1/17/2025
2.5.5.2. EV‐ready: A designated parking space which is provided with a minimum 40‐amp,
208/240‐volt, dedicated branch circuit for future dedicated Level 2 EVSE servicing EVs.
The circuit shall terminate in a suitable point such as a receptacle, junction box, or an
EVSE, and be near the proposed location of the EV parking spaces. The circuit shall
have no other outlets. The service panel shall include an over‐current protective
device and provide sufficient capacity and space to accommodate the circuit and over‐
current protective device and be near the proposed location of the EV parking spaces.
For two adjacent EV‐capable spaces, a single branch circuit is permitted.
1.1.1.2.5.5.3. EV‐capable: A dedicated parking space which is provided with electrical
panel capacity and space to support a minimum 40‐amp, 208/240‐volt branch circuit
for each EV parking space, and the installation of raceways, both underground and
surface mounted, to support the EVSE. For two adjacent EV‐capable spaces, a single
branch circuit is permitted.
1.2.1.1. Reporting. On an annual basis, all owners shall report monthly whole‐building energy
consumption, on‐site energy generation, electrical demand, and water use to Energy Star
Portfolio Manager and ensure this information is accessible to the JDA. Owners shall provide
other building data upon the reasonable request of JDA.

Sustainability Guidelines Compliance Process
Sustainability Design Guidelines Kickoff
Development teams shall participate in an introductory meeting with the JDA’s Sustainability Consultant
(LHB) to review guideline requirements. At a minimum, project team attendees shall include the
developer, sustainability compliance lead, architect, & general contractor (if known).
Energy Design Assistance (EDA) Program Participation
Development teams shall apply to the free Xcel Energy Design Assistance program by filling out and
submitting the Energy Design Assistance Application. The EDA program provides energy and cost-saving
information that is critical to the JDA’s review and approval process.
JDA Approval Process
Once the Sustainability Consultant has a complete understanding of how the project will meet the SDG,
they will provide a summary memo of SDG compliance measures to the JDA’s staff. If a waiver is
requested, the waiver review process will be followed. This may require additional staff, consultant, and
JDA time to review and approve. JDA staff will then incorporate SDG compliance measures into
Development Agreement between JDA and Developer.
Submittals
Development teams shall submit all materials described in the Compliance Checklist to the Sustainability
Consultant upon completion of each of the phases below:
• Design Development
• Final Design/Construction Documents
• Construction Close-out
• Post-occupancy (within 12 months of occupancy)
Page | 6
Waivers
The requirements of these guidelines may be modified only for reasons of hardship and through approval
by the JDA. Hardship includes the inability to physically achieve the standard due to circumstances unique
to the property. Economic reasons alone do not constitute a hardship. Alternative strategies that show
demonstrable and quantifiable progress towards the Green Energy Vision may be considered as
alternative compliance.
Types of Acceptable Waivers
• Full Waiver – Programmatic: conflict with or not applicable to the intended use of the project
• Full Waiver – Technological: limitation of available technologies or methodologies
• Provisional Exemptions: Pass-through to the next phase for guidelines without enough
information to determine compliance
Examples of Not Acceptable Waivers
• Budgetary or project schedule constraints e.g., cost of chargers
• Requirements missed by the project team that cannot be addressed at later phases e.g., waste
management
• Not included in standard design and construction processes e.g., embodied carbon
• Small or irregular sites are not an automatic reason for a waiver
Waiver Review Process:
• Developer completes waiver request form, including justification for requested waivers.
• Sustainability consultant reviews waiver request form and determines whether sufficient
documentation and justification of alternative approach was provided and prepares memo for
staff. This memo includes discussion of the impacts of requested waivers on JDA sustainability
goals, such as greenhouse gas emissions and LEED for Communities certification, and the
reasonableness of the waiver request.
• Staff reviews waiver request memo and requests more information, approves/disapproves the
request, or presents the waiver request to the JDA.
• JDA reviews waiver request memo and approves, disapproves, or otherwise provides direction to
the Developer on waivers and/or alternative acceptable SDG compliance measures. Developer
may present to JDA on sustainability plans and waiver request.
• Sustainability consultant incorporates acceptable SDG compliance measures into summary
memo, for staff to incorporate into Development Agreement.

These guidelines establish the sustainability standards for development on the site and serve to implement the
Green Energy Vision and Clean Energy Policy, which has the goal of an all-electric, carbon-free development.
These guidelines also support the JDA’s pursuit of LEED for Communities (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design v4.1 for Communities: Plan + Design) certification. It is the goal of the JDA that each
building and parcel in Rice Creek Commons shall comply with the SDG. The JDA will apply these guidelines within
the Rice Creek Commons development through Development Agreements that are subject to JDA approval
2. Guidelines
2.1. Sustainability Certification. Each building and tenant improvement shall achieve LEED BD+C New
Construction certification at the silver level or above using the newest version available at the time of
registration. The LEED boundary for each improved parcel of land within the Development shall be the
same as the boundary of that parcel. Other certification systems will be considered for one- to four-unit
residential buildings, including the DOE’s Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH) program and Phius Passive
House standards.
2.2. Building Decarbonization.
2.2.1. Energy Efficiency. All buildings and tenant improvements shall achieve: 50% better energy efficiency
than the applicable Minnesota Energy Code, certification from the DOE’s Zero Energy Ready Home
(ZERH) program, or Phius CORE certification as a Passive House.
2.2.2. Electrification. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all buildings shall be all-electric and
shall not use any fossil fuels. Any waivers of this provision will be restricted to systems or devices for
which an equivalent all-electric system or design is unavailable, impractical, or is determined to
present an equity gap, as reasonably determined by JDA. In the event of a waiver, buildings the JDA
allows to use any fossil fuels must offset an equivalent amount of carbon emissions each year.
2.2.3. Renewable Energy. All buildings in the Development must install photovoltaic (PV) systems that
either:
2.2.3.1. generate, on an annual basis, enough electricity to meet one hundred twenty percent (120%)
of the building's anticipated energy use; or
2.2.3.2. include a rooftop array with a rated capacity of not less than 10.75 watts per gross square foot
of roof area and a covered parking array for all parking lots containing twenty or more parking
spaces -- including the top level of multi-level parking structures – with a rated capacity of not
less than 7.5 watts per gross square foot of parking area.
All panels used in PV systems must be rated as Tier 1 panels and, if applicable, qualify under
the Inflation Reduction Act for the Investment Tax Credit. Any renewable energy credits
generated from PV systems in the Development shall be credited to the Development as a
whole. Projects that are not able to generate enough energy, on an annual basis, to meet one
hundred percent of their energy use, based on meeting this guideline, must purchase green
Page | 15
power for the remainder.
2.3. District Energy. If a District Energy System is available, all buildings shall connect to the District Energy
System for heating and cooling.
2.4. Embodied Carbon. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all buildings shall conduct a whole
building life-cycle assessment and achieve at least a 10% reduction in global warming potential, using the
calculation methods established in LEED BD+C: New Construction. This Section does not apply to single
family homes or tenant improvements within commercial buildings.
2.5. Electric Vehicle Infrastructure. The Development shall include infrastructure to support electric vehicles
(EV) – as defined by the International Building Code – as follows:
2.5.1. For non-residential parcels where four or more vehicle parking spaces are provided, not less than 4%
of the total number of parking spaces or not less than 8% of designated employee-only parking spaces
shall be EV ready spaces or EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) EV-installed spaces. Not less
than 30% of the total number of parking spaces shall be EV capable spaces, EV ready spaces, or EVSE
spaces.
2.5.2. For residential parcels, not less than 20% of the total number of parking spaces shall be EV ready
spaces or EV-installed. Not less than 75% of the total number of parking spaces shall be EV capable
spaces, EV ready spaces, or EVSE spaces.
2.6. Reporting. On an annual basis, all owners shall report monthly whole-building energy consumption, on-
site energy generation, electrical demand, and water use to Energy Star Portfolio Manager and ensure this
information is accessible to the JDA. Owners shall provide other building data upon the reasonable request
of JDA.
3. Implementation and Compliance. Developers will comply with these guidelines by following the below approval
and documentation processes concurrent with all other JDA review processes.
3.1. Approval Process.
3.1.1. Developer reviews Sustainability Design Guidelines and participates in kickoff meeting with
sustainability consultant (LHB). Developer also participates in Energy Design Assistance (EDA)
Program, a free energy consulting service, to understand energy efficiency options for their
development and develop a whole building energy model (single-family homes exempted from EDA
program).
3.1.2. Following the kickoff meeting and additional meetings as necessary, sustainability consultant
provides summary memo of SDG compliance measures.
3.1.3. Upon agreement of the Developer and staff regarding compliance with the guidelines, or upon
agreement with the JDA regarding the terms of a waiver, Staff incorporates SDG compliance
measures into Development Agreement between JDA and Developer.
3.2. Waivers. If the Developer determines they cannot adhere to all items in the SDG, Developer must
complete the Waiver Request Process. The measures in these guidelines may be modified for individual
developments for reasons of hardship. Alternative strategies that show demonstrable and quantifiable
progress towards the Green Energy Vision may be considered as alternative compliance. Developers will
go through the following process to request waivers to the SDG.
Page | 16
3.2.1. Developer completes waiver request form, including justification for requested waivers.
3.2.2. Sustainability consultant reviews waiver request form and prepares memo for staff who will make a
recommendation to the JDA. This memo includes discussion of the impacts of requested waivers on
JDA sustainability goals, such as greenhouse gas emissions and LEED for Communities certification,
and the reasonableness of the waiver request.
3.2.3. JDA reviews waiver request memo and approves, disapproves, or otherwise provides direction to
the Developer on waivers and/or alternative acceptable SDG compliance measures. Developer may
present to JDA on sustainability plans and waiver request.
3.2.4. Sustainability consultant incorporates acceptable SDG compliance measures into summary memo,
for staff to incorporate into Development Agreement.

AGENDA ITEM 3c
MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 4, 2025
TO: Joint Development Authority Board of Commissioners
FROM: Directors Mitchell and Jagoe
SUBJECT: Discuss Development Solicitation Questions
What is the role and value of a developer?
Real estate developers are private partners who bring their vision, expertise, and relationships to a
project. Developers engage engineers, architects, landscape architects, contractors, and financial
partners to shape a vision for a community and turn it into reality. Often the term developer refers to
entities that engage in vertical development: managing the construction of buildings, from financing to
design to permitting to construction and beyond. These developers typically specialize in certain
products; for example, developers who build multifamily buildings do not often also build single-family
houses, and vice versa. There are also land developers that focus on horizontal development, including
site preparation and installation of infrastructure such as roads and utilities, and then sell the land to
other developers/builders to for vertical development.
For a project the size of Rice Creek Commons, there is often what is typically called a “master
developer” or lead developer. Because Rice Creek Commons includes zoning for mixed-use, multifamily,
single-family, commercial, civic, parks and other uses, it is expected that several developers with
expertise in each of these specialties will work on different parts of the site. A lead developer selects
and coordinates those sub-developers, assessing the market, determining the order and timing of
development, and negotiating agreements.
If the JDA works with a lead developer, the JDA would sign one overall development agreement
(sometimes called a “master development agreement’), which would include a template of a
development agreement that sub-developers would be required to agree to prior to each phase of
development. Ramsey County would concurrently negotiate a purchase and sale agreement with this
lead developer, who would purchase the property either in one transaction or in tranches and then sell
parcels to sub-developers. The lead developer takes on a greater portion of the risk in this arrangement
and in return may make a profit through these land sales and/or through developing portions of the site
Joint Development Authority

themselves. Examples of a lead private developer include Ryan Companies at Highland Bridge in St. Paul
or United Properties at Centennial Lakes in Edina.
The JDA could instead decide effectively to act as lead developer itself and work with Ramsey County to
seek developers/buyers for portions of the site. The JDA would need to coordinate with the City of
Arden Hills and Ramsey County to determine how to make this arrangement feasible. For example,
Ramsey County, as landowner, may need to lead some level of horizontal development, such as grading
and platting of parcels. Under this structure, the JDA, Ramsey County, and City of Arden Hills would take
the lead in determining timing of development and negotiate agreements for each parcel individually.
The public partners take on more of the risk in this arrangement, as the land would not be put on the tax
rolls until it is sold, but they also may be able to benefit from higher land sale proceeds. For example,
the St. Paul Port Authority (SPPA) is a non-profit governmental agency that acts as the lead developer
for The Heights and United Village developments in St. Paul.
What were the reasons for differences between the two RFPs?
The solicitations that the JDA released in 2016 and 2023 were different for a few reasons. First, the
solicitations were fundamentally different due to the size and readiness each site, and therefore the role
and expectations of a developer in each case. The 2016 solicitation for the entire 427-acre parcel sought
a developer who could oversee both horizontal and vertical development across multiple development
products. The 2023 solicitation for Outlot A sought a vertical developer to develop commercial buildings
on a development-ready site, with less site preparation or infrastructure necessary to start construction.
Second, they were each largely based on Ramsey County procurement department’s best practices for
competitive solicitations, which have changed over time. The JDA, unlike Ramsey County or the City of
Arden Hills, does not have the authority to convene in closed meeting about real estate transactions. In
2016 the JDA interviewed development teams at a regular JDA meeting. The proposals received in this
case focused on the vision, approach, and qualifications and did not include specific deal terms such as a
purchase price. In 2023, the JDA Advisory Committee reviewed high level information about the
proposals in a closed meeting and referred them to the JDA. The JDA then reviewed key information on
each of the proposals anonymously at a regular JDA meeting. The proposals were presented
anonymously at the JDA meeting to avoid potential bias about proposers and maintain objectivity in the
evaluation process. It also protected Ramsey County’s ability to negotiate the land sale price.
What has changed in the real estate market/industry since 2016?
In September 2023, the JDA received presentations from a panel of experts on changes in the real estate
market. Some highlights included demand for different types of housing options and particularly
Joint Development Authority

TCAAP Redevelopment Project
affordable housing, changes in office needs due to flexible work schedules post-pandemic, and a need
for flexible commercial/retail/industrial spaces.
There have also been changes in the funding landscape. At the local level, several new sources for
affordable housing such as Ramsey County’s Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA), Local
Affordable Housing Aid, and State Affordable Housing Aid have come available in the past few years. At
the federal level, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provided new incentives for clean energy and
sustainable development. Although some of these have recently been rolled back, ground
source/geothermal energy, which is planned to provide a large amount of the clean energy at Rice Creek
Commons, remains in place.
If the JDA wants to learn more about real estate market and industry trends, it could request more
research from staff or organize a panel presentation or developer round table. It could also release a
Request for Information (RFI) as a precursor to a competitive solicitation for a developer (e.g. Request
for Proposals (RFP) or Request for Qualifications (RFQ)). An RFI can be used to gauge interest from
developers and gather information for a solicitation on marketplace topics such as best practices,
industry standards, pricing, and technology options.
What has changed about the project since 2016?
The fundamentals of Rice Creek Commons, as laid out in the JDA’s vision statement, TCAAP
Redevelopment Code (TRC), and Regulating Plan, remain the same. The JDA’s vision statement was
lightly updated in February 2023 to read:
The Joint Development Authority’s (JDA) vision for the Rice Creek Commons site is to create
economic prosperity, build an inclusive economy, have a long-term sustainable development,
and develop an energy-forward community by providing much-needed housing at a variety of
income levels – including affordable housing – and creating well-paying jobs.
The JDA, Ramsey County, and the City of Arden Hills have made forward progress on a number of
specific efforts which have resulted in the site being more development-ready than it was in 2016:
• Land use: A TRC amendment to increase the housing density on the site was finalized in 2024.
• Sustainability: The JDA has clarified its sustainability goals through the creation of site
sustainability guidelines so that developers know what to expect when developing on the site.
• Environmental remediation: The site received a Certificate of Completion, the highest level of
liability assurance available under Minnesota law, verifying the successful completion of all soil
environmental remediation, from the MPCA in 2016. Subsequently the EPA and MPCA removed
soil and surface water from the federal Superfund list (National Priorities List) in 2019 and the
state Superfund list (Permanent List of Priorities) in 2020.

TCAAP Redevelopment Project

• Environmental impact: The City of Arden Hills updated the Alternative Urban Areawide Review
(AUAR) in 2024, and Ramsey County has begun implementing its wildlife mitigation strategies in
preparation for Spine Road construction.
• Public infrastructure: Road improvements surrounding the site, such as the County Road H
interchange, have been completed. Ramsey County has advanced the design and engineering of
the Spine Road and will have final plans complete by the end of 2025.
• Processes: The JDA approved the first development on the site, providing a case study for its
approval process for vertical development. Ryan Companies provided a memo outlining lessons
learned from this first development.
There have also been some changes to assumptions about site development. In 2016, Ramsey County
contemplated performing some site preparation in conjunction with the construction of the spine road.
In 2023, Ramsey County no longer was in a financial position to take on this cost, so they along with
project partners sought other options for financing and performing this work.
Does the JDA want to consider changing anything about the project? How might these changes impact
a developer solicitation?
When considering this question, it is important to clarify the types of changes that are under the JDA’s
control, compared with those that would need to be led by the City of Arden Hills, Ramsey County, or
other partners. The JDA can make requests or recommendations to these partners, however, the
timeline for changes would not be directly under the JDA’s control.
The JDA has the authority over the developer solicitation process and sustainability goals of the project.
The City of Arden Hills is the key decisionmaker on land use and zoning changes such as amendments to
the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC), Regulating Plan, Comprehensive Plan and city public
improvements (e.g. trunk utilities). The JDA requested and received feedback from Ryan Companies on
their first phase of development at Outlot A. They did find some aspects of the TRC inflexible. This is
partially by design – the TRC has narrow parameters so that any significant deviations must go through
the typical city approval processes.
Ramsey County is the lead on items such as county infrastructure (e.g. Spine Road) and the sale of land.
In addition, the City and County each have policy goals and requirements that will be incorporated into
agreements for the development.
As mentioned above, a Request for Interest (RFI) process could be a way to get feedback from interested
developers on challenges, opportunities, and questions they may have to inform a competitive
solicitation for proposals.
