COUNTY OF ANOKA ) The foregoing was acknowledged before me thisa day of September, 2007. by Mary Capra, Mayor and Teresa Bender, Clerk of the City of Centerville, a Minnesota municipal corporation, on behalf of the corporation and pursuant to authority granted by its City Council. .61 caUt • N Public 'ai KR1S SWEENEY 4 a NOTARY PUb'UC -MSOTA MY Commissbn Expires Jan. 31 2010 1 ® /4s Metropolitan Council June 25, 2010 Mr. Dallas Larson JUN City Administrator City of Centerville 1880 Main St Centerville MN 55038 Dear Mr. Larson: The City of Centerville previously elected to be a participant in the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act Local Housing Incentives Account (LCA LHIA). Participation in the voluntary LCA LHIA provides the City with the opportunity to compete for grants and loans to support activities that help the City meet its affordable and life cycle housing goals, clean up polluted sites, and support demonstration projects linking jobs, housing and transit. The City's previously adopted LCA LHIA affordable and life cycle housing goals were negotiated with the Metropolitan Council for the period 1996 — 2010. Those goals are indicated in Enclosure A. If the City elects to continue its participation in the LCA, it must establish new affordable and life -cycle housing goals for the next decade (2011 through 2020). As part of the City's recently submitted 2030 Comprehensive Plan Update, it acknowledged its fair share of the region's affordable housing need. For the City of Centerville the fair share number is 170 units over the next 10 years. Although the Council fully supports the need for this total number of new affordable units over the next decade, it also acknowledges the reality of limited funding available to create new affordable housing opportunities. For this reason, the Council asks the City establish its LCA affordable housing goal as a range of 111 to 170 units for the period 2011 to 2020 with the low end of the range representing the number of units that can be accomplished at currently available funding levels region -wide. Regarding the City's life -cycle housing goal to diversify the type and density of housing to meet residents' changing housing needs and preferences, the Council asks the City establish a goal range of 170 to 270 units over the next decade. The low end of the range represents the community's total share of the region's affordable housing need and the high end is the potential number of units permitted by the land use guiding in the City's 2030 Plan Update for medium, high, mixed use, redevelopment, TOD or similarly named residential development, or the total forecasted household growth for the community to 2020, whichever number is less. www.metrocouncil.org 390 Robert Street North • St. Paul, MN 55101 -1805 • (651) 602 -1000 • Fax (651) 602 -1550 • TTY (651) 291 -0904 An Equal Opportunity Employer City of Centerville, Cont. Enclosed with this letter is a listing of the grants awarded to the City of Centerville through the LCA and a list of projects the City applied for, but where funding was not awarded. See Enclosure B. To make official the City's decision to continue participation in the LCA, the Metropolitan Council is asking the City to adopt these new affordable and life -cycle housing goal ranges, by passing a resolution that incorporates the numbers described above. A sample resolution is enclosed; however, the City may craft the resolution in the manner that best meets its needs as long as the affordable and life -cycle goals are part of the resolution. The Council asks that the City pass a resolution and provide a copy to the Council no later than September 1, 2010. See Enclosure C. Additionally, before December 1, 2010 the City must develop a Housing Action Plan outlining the steps the City will take to help meet its LCA goals. Much, if not all of this Action Plan can be taken from the housing implementation section of the City's Comprehensive Plan Update. A checklist to assist in the development of the Housing Action Plan is attached as Enclosure D. We have also attached an information item about the LCA, (Enclosure E), and additional information is available on the Council's website at http: / /www.metrocouncil.org /planning /index.htm The LCA emphasizes cooperation and incentives to achieve goals. The Metropolitan Council looks forward to continuing to work with the City through its continued voluntary participation in the LCA to continue to meet the affordable and life -cycle housing needs of the City and the region.

In 1995 prior to the local comprehensive plan updates prepared for the period of 1998 and 2008 the Metropolitan Council created the Livable Communities Act (LCA). The goal of this program was to stimulate construction of affordable housing within the seven - county metropolitan region. Metro area communities were asked to participate voluntarily and Centerville has been a participant since its inception. Once they choose to participate, communities negotiate life -cycle housing goals with the Metropolitan Council. Various grant programs were established to assist local government in meeting their goals. Centerville's goals for the period of 1996 -2010 are shown in Table 27. Table 27 - Livable Communities Act Goal Distribution Years 1996 -2000 2001 -2005 2006 -2010 Multiple Family /Affordable 60/7 70/7 60/7 Senior Housing /Affordable 16/16 0/0 14/14 Single Family /Affordable 125/45 125/30 125/22 Additional Non - Single Family 30 30 20 Source: City of Centerville Housing Action Plan Since 1996, 47 affordable rental units and 130 owner - occupied homes have been constructed in Centerville. Rental units are affordable to households earning 50% or less of the regional median income. Owner - occupied units are affordable to households earning 80% or less of the regional median income. These rates match the Metropolitan Council's definition of affordability, which stipulate that units are affordable if a household does not spend more than 30 percent of its income on housing expenses. The Twin Cities metropolitan area median income is $54,304. 80 percent of this amount is $43,443 is, which translates into a $201,800 owner - occupied home. 2020 LCA Goals As mentioned above the benchmark and goals expire in 2010. As part of the 2030 Regional Development Framework, the Metropolitan Council estimates that approximately 50,000 additional affordable housing units will be needed in the region during the planning period of 2011 -2020. The Metropolitan Council will be working with communities to g adopt new agreements in 2011 for the next ten year cycle. In order to do this the Metropolitan Council conducted the study "Determining Affordable Housing Need in the Twin Cities 2011- 2020 ". With this new plan the Metropolitan Council has changed their definition of affordable housing from of 80% of area median income to 60% of area median income. The study then described an allocation method to all communities within the region based on the following four criteria: Draft Draft Draft 7/29/2010 • Household Growth Potential • Ratio of local low -wage jobs to low - wage workers • Current provision of affordable housing • Transit Service Based on their analysis, the Metropolitan Council's new affordable housing goal for Centerville is to create between 111 and 170 new affordable housing units between 2011 and 2020. The affordability limit is 60% of area median income for both owner and renter occupied. In addition, the City establishes the goal of 170 -270 Life -Cycle Housing units. The City has responded to this need and the need for additional housing in general by increasing areas to medium and high density at the same time they are working through the implementation of an aggressive downtown master plan that will bring over 300 units at densities at or above 8 units per acre. As shown on Table 18 there are 134 acres guided for residential densities at a range starting at 5 units an acre for Medium Density and up to 12 units an acre for High Density for a potential of 859 units. As the City is nearly fully developed, this acreage will be within MUSA prior to 2020 this land is considered available for development at a density that supports affordable housing prior to 2020. The City has also applied for LCA grants through the Met Council for construction of Chateau Goiffon, an affordable senior housing project that will include 40 units. This project may be completed before 2011, but the City wishes to count these 40 units towards their goal of 170 new units by 2020. While the City is doing their part in creating a regulatory land use plan to plan for areas of density greater then 5 du /acre for medium , 8 -12 du /acre for mixed use and 12 du /acre units where most affordable housing will occur. Barriers to development of affordable housing still exist in the region as well as in Centerville. Some of these barriers are beyond the City's control including: • Steady increases in land prices. • Increase in construction costs. When combined with land prices, it becomes more difficult to provide affordable units through new construction. • Physical limitations of land due to wetlands, poor access, poor soils that would increase the cost of land development or construction thus making it more difficult to build affordable units. • Limited amount of remaining developable land. • State, county and local tax structures. There are some significant barriers to construction of new affordable housing including the few named above. It is important that cities help in the effort to provide affordable housing. To assist in this effort, Centerville can use its Draft Draft Draft 7/29/2010 regulatory tools, including implementing land use and zoning regulations that do not impede the construction of affordable housing. Many of these tools can help developers by reducing setback and open space requirements, increasing density, or reducing fees all in the effort to support construction of affordable housing. The following Housing Action Plan outlines efforts Centerville will explore to maintain existing affordable housing and create new affordable housing in the next ten years. The items are listed by category, including regulatory, financial and other. A corresponding timeline is also provided to address current slower market conditions. Regulatory: Land Use Plan- provide sufficient land guided at densities greater then 6 du /acre, within redevelopment areas, close to jobs and transit.Short - term Regulatory: Zoning- study and make changes to the City's zoning and subdivision ordinance to remove impediments to affordable housing. The City will encourage increased use of planned unit developments (PUDs) to provide a choice of housing types within new developments. PUDs have proven to be an effective way of addressing the varied housing needs of the community. They can provide for the local townhouse, condominium and apartment market while avoiding many of the problems associated with concentrating new multifamily housing in one area. The City will review its existing PUD provisions in the Zoning Ordinance and consider changes to improve their effectiveness. Short -term. Enforcement: The City will consider adoption of a Housing Maintenance Code to help maintain existing housing. Long -term. Financial: Efforts for Existing Housing -The City will strengthen its efforts to actively promote first -time homebuyer programs to assist residents entering the market. The City will also market housing rehabilitation programs available through the County and State. This can be done via the City's website, newsletter and other methods. The City will actively encourage maintenance of existing homes. On- going. Financial: Efforts for New Affordable Housing- create City funds using Tax Increment Financing or other methods for the construction of affordable housing, help with acquisition, assist both non - profit and for - profit developers in pursuing grant funds. Ongoing. Long -term affordability: Utilize techniques such as land trusts to maintain long -term affordability of new housing. Ongoing. Other: Needs Assessment- assess needs for senior housing in rental, market rate and assisted living categories. Short -term. Draft Draft Draft 7/29/2010 Housing Condition- Evaluate existing housing stock in order to target code enforcement and rehabilitation assistance. Long -term. Livability of Housing and Neighborhoods- Create city programs promoting pride in the community. On- going. Rental Licensing- Continue to utilize Centerville's existing rental licensing program to promote safe rental housing. Long -term. Along with the Action Plan the City developed Residential Goals and Polices to further strengthen and support its efforts for providing opportunities for the development of life -cycle and affordable housing as well as meeting other residential goals. Program Assistance. It is anticipated that the City will utilize the assistance of a variety of housing development programs. The following are identified as most likely funding assistance sources. These programs are anticipated to help finance approximately 120 affordable family rental units. • Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Demonstration Account • Minnesota DEED Small Cities Development Program • Minnesota Housing Finance Agency Housing Tax Credit Program • Low and Moderate Income Rental Progam • Economic Development and Housing Challenge Program • Flexible Financing for Capital Costs • Community Development Block Grant Funds (Anoka County) Life -Cycle housing may use these sources but are very likely to use traditional private financing methods.

Zoning issues related to Comprehensive Plan. Staff prepared text for the proposed changes to the zoning code in an effort to get zoning district boundaries to conform to planned uses of the Comprehensive Plan. The first change would create a new R -3 zoning district for high density uses. All development in this district would be through a Planned Unit Development. The second change would allow existing industrial uses to continue as interim uses in the area proposed to change from I -1 to B -1. The next step will be to hold a public hearing on the proposed code changes. If these changes are incorporated into the Code, the following step would be to hold a public hearing on rezoning of specific parcels. The process will likely run several months to complete. Motion by Commissioner Wood, seconded by Commissioner Wekseth to call for a public hearing at the next meeting to consider the proposed amendments to Chapter 156, establishing interim uses in B -1 and creating a new R -3 zoning district. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. IV. NEW BUSINESS. Lot Split- 1988 & 1990 Main Street Mr. Todd Steffen, 1988 Main Street and 1990 Main Street, was present to explain and answer any questions the Commission may have regarding the proposed lot split submitted to them. Mr. Steffen explained that he desires to remove a portion (120' x 65') of property Page 2 of 3 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission July 13, 2010 from 1988 Main Street and add it to parcel 1990 Main Street allowing needed parking and turning space for delivery trucks to the commercial center. It was noted that City Code Chapter 153 provides an exception to the subdivision/platting requirement where land is removed from one parcel and added to the adjoining parcel. The text reads as follows: "Divisions of land where the division is to permit the adding of a parcel of land to an abutting lot and the newly created property line will not cause the land or any structure to be in violation of this chapter or the zoning chapter; and that the proposal would not have an adverse impact on the subject property or surrounding properties." Motion by Commissioner Wood, seconded by Commissioner Wekseth to determine that the proposed lot split meets the exception of Chapter 153 and recommend to Council to approve the lot split, provided that the owner immediately combine the newly created parcel with the strip center property in order that they become one tax parcel. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. V. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES Motion by Commissioner Wood, seconded by Commissioner Wekseth to approve minutes from June 8, 2010, meetings. All in favor.

Transcribed by: Dallas Larson, Administrator Page 3 of 3 CITY OF CENTERVILLE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION FINDINGS & CONCLUSIONS Whereas, the Planning and Zoning Commission is tasked to fulfill the goals of the Centerville Comprehensive Plan. Whereas, that Comprehensive Plan guided certain industrial zoned areas to be repurposed for commercial uses. (Hereinafter, " repurposed area. ") Whereas, prior to the formation of that Comprehensive Plan, the City created a tax increment financing district (hereinafter, "TIF district ") which successfully attracted businesses to locate in the repurposed area. Whereas, the existing and conforming businesses in the repurposed area (hereinafter, "businesses ") desire to build upon their investments and goodwill. Whereas, on July ##, 2010, the Commission held a public hearing to discuss changes to the repurposed area and Chapter 156.030 of the Centerville Code. As a result of that hearing the Commission makes the following findings of fact. Rezoning the repurposed area from industrial use (I -1) to commercial use (B -1) is in keeping with the guidance set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. The City can recover the maximum benefit from the TIF district in the repurposed area by maintaining high property values and retaining viable businesses. In order to do so these businesses must remain and flourish in the repurposed area. Businesses are likely to remain and flourish in the repurposed area if they can continue their current industrial uses, and maximize their investments and goodwill. This includes creating opportunities for these businesses to expand and grow in the future. Allowing these businesses to continue in the new commercial zone with interim industrial uses balances the need for business opportunities and investment growth while allowing for future conversion of the repurposed area from industrial to commercial uses. Based on these findings, the Commission concludes and proposed the attached amendments to Chapter 156.030 of the Centerville Code. The Commissioner recommends that the City Council adopt these findings and amendments to Chapter 156.030.
