(651)490-2931 (fax)
7. Site Location
The project area consists of 6.11 acres at 2819 Hamline Avenue N in the City of
Roseville just north of County Road C and East of Snelling Avenue. (Refer to
Roseville Location Map in attachment F). The adjacent land uses include Super
America Gas Station, multi-family housing, The Harnline House Condominiwn
primarily occupied by seniors, City Park, two churches and an office building. (Refer
to Site Map in Attachment F)
Roseville's vision for the Hamline Shopping/Commons Area within the
Comprehensive Plan is consistent with the Metropolitan Council's Livable
Communities Policies. The proposed project is in Planning District 3-2 and
implements the City's Comprehensive plan as noted in the 1998 update as follows.
Planning District site 3-2 is designated as Shopping Center Area and
is located within a single family and mixed multi-family residential
area. In 1994, the Planning Commission recommended changing the
designation to Medium Denrity Residential/Business. The City
Council took action to change the designation from Shopping Center
to Business, and concurred that if the shopping center redevelops, it
will redevelop as a mixed use development within Medium Density
Residential Uses and a smaller neighborhood shopping center.
Roseville 's policy has been to use site specific Planned Unit
Development Zones and Development contracts in redevelopment
areas with mixes of uses. Hamline Commons will be created as a
Planned Unit Development zone.
8. Threshold Criteria Measurement
a. Housing Densities- 21-30 units per acre
b. Mix of Uses includes re~idential, office, retail, restaurant,
entertainment, government/civic, and multipwpose and public space.
Page 2
c. Housing Mix and Integration - The project includes a total of 120
attached independent senior leasehold cooperative units. Up to 10
units will be designated as Hollman Units for populations over 55.
Future redevelopment in the area west of the project (city owned 14
acres) is likely to include a mix of assisted senior units, for sale
townhomes and affordable rental and for sale units within the next 5-
10 years.
d. Employment Proximity - The project is within one mile of a diverse
amount of employment opportunities such as technical office and
management positions, data center and telecommunication positions,
retail and restaurant positions, banking positions and government jobs.
It is estimated that there are several hundred jobs in the area and the
new development will include retail, housing and office positions.
e. Transit Improvements - The project includes adding a neighborhood
mini transit hub with a bus turnout and shelter integrated into the
common area promenade of the center. TIris mini hub will be served
by the Roseville Circulator which provides a direct link to existing
regional bus service.
f. Cluster Housing in Urban Reserve - does not apply to this category
9. History
The Hamline Shopping Center, which currently occupies the site, was constructed in
the early 60's. The strip mall, purchased by Kraus Anderson Company in the 80's has
been strnggling for several years since the vacation of a neighborhood grocery store
and deli, its main anchor tenant, and increased competition as the retail development
grew along Snelling Avenue and Fairview near Rosedale. This year, the Center also
lost its last anchor tenant Snyder Drug Store. The management was willing to keep
the tenant at little to no rent but the corporation felt that the store could no longer stay
profitable. Both of these spaces remain vacant today and contribute in large part to
the 50 percent vacancy rate in the Center. Management continues to actively search
for tenants for the space but, in cooperation with the City, is interested in
redevelopment as the future of the Center continues to remain weak.
Roseville has a high demand for senior housing as noted in its Senior Market
Feasibility Study conducted in 1998. According to the study, Roseville's current
senior housiitg is primarily 98 percent occupied with only 25 percent of those
occupant previous Roseville residents. The other 75 percent of the occupants come
from the S1. Paul area and northern suburbs. Roseville is attractive for seniors due to
its accessibility to services and the convenience provided by the Roseville Circulator
Page 3
-
. .
from senior housing to those services. Roseville and the 35W Corridor Coalition
Communities have seen a tremendous increase in senior population from 1990-1999.
(Refer to senior population map in Attachment F). According to the study and
supported by the most recent growth in senior population, there is a demand for
additional 1 ,100 units of senior housing.
With the large percentage of multifamily units in the area, the proposed project will
provide the basis for future redevelopment and a system of connections between
existing and new housing, essential services and employment through 1ransit linkages
and public pathways.
1 O. Project Elements
This proposal will:
1. Create 120 new senior market rate housing units, including 10
senior units reserved for Hollman applicants. The project is
cU1Tently structured as a leasehold cooperative which has been
an option that seniors are finding attractive.
2. Create 9,000.s.f. intergenerational neighborhood
center/community rooms and 3,500 s.f. private education
space.
. 3. Create 17,500 s.f. mixed use lease space (senior support
business, office, medical services and/or private educational
. .space).
4. Create 40,000 s.f. of neighborhood retail space.
5. Establish a neighborhood mini-transit hub supported by the
Roseville Circulator.
6. Provide an incentive for new young family ownership within
the community by providing up to 10 subsidized Itbuy down
and renovationlt packages for housing being sold by seniors.
7. Create a pedestrian friendly, new neighborhood pathways and
mixed use opportunity to reduce incidental trip generation
beyond the neighborhood.
Page 4
8. Introduce hi-tech commwrications through fiber optic cable to
assist in non-line" shopping and delivery, as well as medical
selVlceS.
9. Provide incentive to redevelop an existing tmder leased
shopping center and reduce impervious surtaces.
Hamline Commons will assist a first ring city (Roseville) to complete
redevelopment of an existing tmder performing (less than 500.10 leased) 40 year
old shopping center into a community asset. The project will add 120 housing
tmits with over 40,000 s.f. of new first floor neighborhood retail and
neighborhood office and educational services on approximately 6.0 acres. The
Hamline Commons will be transit and pedestrian fiiendly for the
neighborhood and will provide a central gathering place for visitors to the
center, seniors within the complex and the SUITOtmding residential
neighborhood.
The Hamline Commons will provide tmdergrotmd parking to minimize the
impervious SUIface and maximize density and green space as well as linkages
through improvements to the pathways and sidewalk systems to the adjoining
multifamily neighborhood sUITOtmding the project area.
The Hamline Commons area is part of an 85 acre campus of single family,
duplex, senior condominium, market rate apartments, 2 churches and 66,000
s.( of retail, 2 office buildings totaling over 50,000 s.(, and subsidized senior
and family housing. In addition. the city owns 14 acres of nearby recreation
land with a city recreation center (Arena Center) which is scheduled for
redevelopment to mixed use, intergenerational and multi level income housing
redevelopment within the next 2 years.
The Hamline Commons project is consistent with the City's Comprehensive
Plan (Section 4, Land Use, Planning District 3, page 3) which projects that the
existing shopping center, currently located within a mixed residential area,
could redevelop as a smaller neighborhood center accompanied by additional
multi-family structures. The property in currently designated on the
comprehensive plan for medium density housing and business uses. The
zoning on the site is "SC", a shopping center designation. A planned tmit
development will be created to accommodate the Hamline Commons project.
11. Special Features
Life Cycle Commercial DevelopllU!nt - The proposal includes both retail and
commercial space that will target the needs of the housing above and provide for
Page 5
services specific to the neighborhood and complement the mini transit hub and
. promenade area such as coffee shoplbakery, satellite medical and banking offices,
dentist, optometrist, hair salon, gift/card shop, florist, pizza parlor and dry cleaning.
Many of these services are those type of tenants that are left in the retail shopping
center and could remain once redeveloped.
Replicable - The proposal develops a framework to address the issues of aging retail
strip centers that were poorly designed for regional services with limited traffic to
support it. In addition, the proposal provides a mix of intergenerational users with
pedestrian oriented neighborhood gathering places and linkages to the existing single
family and multifamily units. This model can be replicated in many other first ring
suburban communities and will provide the framework and design features for future
redevelopment of the area.
Unique Affordable Housing Linkage - In partnership with the housing developer
the City will be able to identify senior tenants that will be selling their Roseville home.
The City will work with that homeowner and realtor to attract young families and will
provide a deferred loan to write down the purchase price of the home to an affordable
level plus provide city housing loan funds for proper renovation of the home prior to
occupancy. Repayment of these funds will go back to Roseville housing fund for
future affordable housing uses. In addition, the proposal provides an opportunity to
bring 10 Hollman applicants into a senior housing project.
Intergenerational Neighborhood Common Area - A sense of place will be
created by a cathedral style courtyard tucked between the retail and commercial users
with the transit hub integrated into the entryway. This common area will be designed
to provide intergenerational uses for all ages. The area will be heavily landscaped
with indoor vegetation and water features and will include quite nooks for small
gatherings and a central play area for children and perhaps a winter walking area for
seniors.
Technology Enhancement- The project area will include state of the art
technology to allow for the highest level of on-line service with fiber optic and digital
communications that can setve the aging population for in-home shopping and
medical service.
12. Linkages within the Proposed Development to
Adjacent Neighborhoods
Land Use, Pedestrian and Transit Connections. There are over 500 multifamily
housing units within a ~ mile radius of the Hamline Commons area. The increased
mix of uses on the site (neighborhood services and transit connections) will provide a
Page 6
more secure and vibrant commercial sector and will increase the livability of the
neighborhood. In general, the majority of the housing units are in good condition.
Tenure is long as owner occupants stay in the homes over nine years. The units are
affordable according to the LCD definition.
The project includes enhancing the pedestrian and transit connections that stabilizes
the retail tenant base and provides a level of market rate-senior rental housing not
existing in the neighborhood currently. The City will take responsibility to make
improvements to the infrastructure, ensuring safe pedestrian and auto transit from and
within the Hamline Commons to the neighborhood. In addition, the City will provide
adequate transit shelter that will connect the neighborhood to regional service in a
convenient and pleasant manner through the Roseville Circulator system. This public
investment for the redevelopment will result in new life to a Ie- focused neighborhood
commercial area and a housing element serving the growing senior needs of the
community as evidenced by the Roseville Senior Market Feasibility Report.
Surrounding Land Use. The Hamline Commons area is part of an 85 acre campus
of single family, duplex, senior condominium, market rate apartments, 2 churches and
66,OOOs.f. of retail, 2 office buildings totaling over 50,000 s.f., and subsidized senior
and family housing. In addition, the city owns 14 acres of nearby recreation land with a
city recreation center (Arona Center) which is scheduled for mixed use,
intergenerational and multi level income redevelopment within the next 2 years. The
main City Civic Center is less than ~ mile to the east which includes indoor/outdoor
ice complex, weight training rooms, exercise oval, indoor walking track, parks, police,
fire and general government services.
Redevelopment in Su"ounding Neighborhoods. There has been significant
redevelopment and reinvestment within one mile of the Hamline Commons over the
past several years. Most recently the Super America gas station was tom down and a
new building constructed to meet changing market demands, the apartment buildings to
the wet and south have completed essential improvements, the former NCR office
complex was completely renovated into a multi-tenant office complex and a new
restaurant was built. The strong redevelopment activity in the area shows a strong
market for new product. The Hamline Shopping Center is a donnant retail strip mall
that is competing with new and more accessible retail services. The Hamline
Commons project would bring a new market base to the area and would reconfigure the
retail and office space to serve the specific market needs of the neighborhood.
13. Housing, Employment and Transportation
Connections.
Relationsh~ to Regional Growth Strategy. The Hamline Commons project is
proposing 120 units of new housing. (See site plan in Attachment F). The housing
Page 7
would be designated as senior leasehold cooperative and would include 10 units for
seniors eligible under the Hollman Decree. There are approximately 500 units of
multifamily housing units within 14 mile of the site and provide senior ownership
condominiums and affordable multifamily apartments and duplexes. The new units
will serve as the entryway in both design and character for future renovation projects
in the area. A system of pathways connecting each multifamily housing property to
the mini transit hub will be established to ensure accessibility by a broader community
base.
Employment and Transportation Connections to Subregion and Region. The
mini transit hub is served by the Roseville Circulator Routes 101 and 102 which
connects to Rosedale in Roseville and the surrounding suburbs of Shoreview and
Arden Hills. The Roseda1e Hub provides direct connects to downtown St. Paul,
Minneapolis, and the Twin Cities Airport. The Hamline Commons project will
provide a year round, safe, climate controlled "mini-Hub" shelter for the Roseville
Circulator bus and for employment and housing drop off and pick up. This area will
provide a convenient and safe area for pedestrians to access the bus lines that serves
subregional and regional areas of the Twin Cities for employment, recreation and
shopping needs.
14.. Planning Process
. ~ '.' .
...
- . .
Tlie City is currently workllg with Presbyterian Homes, Kraus Anderson and KKE
.Arc~tects on the HamIlne Commons project. The redevelopment would go through
the Planned Unit Development.Process that includes sketch plan review and public .
concept hearings with the Planning COJrunission and City Council. . Residents within
350 feet of the property would be notified by mail of all public hearings and a notice
wiil also be published in the local paper. It is expected that the planning process will
be completed in early 2000 with construction by the summer of 2000 and completion
in 2001.
15. Project T earn
The project team for the Hamline Commons includes following:
. City of Roseville, Dennis Welsch and Cathy Bennett
. Presbyterian Homes, Dan Lindh
. KKE Architects, John Gould
. Kraus Anderson RealtylKA Construction
Page 8
16. Partnerships
The Harnline Commons will provide partnerships between the City, Presbyterian
Homes, retail tenants, private educationalldaycare providers, area churches, Metro
Transit and the existing neighborhoods and senior groups. The City will also work
with area banks and realtors to develop the "buy down and renovation" incentive
package to attract new families to the area. Public meetings will be held to discuss the
project with neighborhood residents as a requirement under the Planning Process.
17. Use{s) of Demonstration Account Funds
The Demonstration Account request of $600,000 would be used to fund the following
elements of the Hamline Commons Project. In addition, $250,000 is requested for the
transit related component of the project. Providing a link between each one of these
elements of the Hamline Commons is critical to the success of the overall project.
Redevelopment Acquisition Assistance: The requested funds of $400,000 will help
fund the redevelopment and acquisition assistance to acquire the shopping center and
leases and relocation costs, estimated at $1.8 million.
Affordable Housin~ "Buy Down" and Improvement Incentive Packa~e: The
requested $200,000 (estimate 10 homes) would be used to buy down the sales price of
ten single family homes to an affordable level based upon LCD benchmarks. The
funds would provide long tenn deferred loans to families for purchase of senior
homes. Repayment of the loans would be required upon resale of the home, or
beginning in the 10th year of ownership, to be used for other affordable housing
programs in Roseville. The city would match the buy-down funds with repair and
improvement funds. The homes would be improved with existing city housing
programs prior to occupancy.
Mini Transit HublPathway linkages: The requested funds of$250,000 would be
used to construct the mini transit hub and provide improvements to make sure there is
an adequate pathway system to join the project and multifamily neighborhoods
surrounding the site.
Metro Council Support for Hollman Units: The City and Developer estimate that
to provide 10 Hollman Units as part of the project a minimum of$877,200 from
Metro CounciJJHUD funds would be required.

5. PROJECT SUMMARY
In 150 words or less, summarize the project(s) you are proposing.
Since 1997, the North Metro I-35W Corridor Coalition has worked to create a subregional,
livable community framework for implementation of the Metropolitan Blueprint. To date,
Coalition efforts have focused on putting the information and implementation structures in place.
Among these efforts are: I) a subregional geographic information system accessible to all
Coalition cities; 2) Phase I urban design, housing condition, and transportation planning studies
and framework setting; and 3) testing of inter jurisdictional strategies such as housing inspections
and maintenance code adoption and enforcement. Simultaneously, several individual Coalition
cities have undertaken LCDA projects.
The North Metro 1-35W Corridor Coalition seeks support from the Metropolitan Council to bring
these investments into their next phase of implementation--completion of a subregional land use
and transportation build-out and implementation study with a transit corridor and linkage pre-
development component.
. Land Use and Transportation Build-out and Implementation Study. The process of
aggregating livable community demonstration projects and smart growth practices into a
livable region is a critical next step in implementing the Blueprint. This subr~gional study
would use a 20-year planning horizon to analyze newly updated comprehensive plans within
the context of regional and subregional trends; develop a preferred smart growth
development option for the subregion; and craft a s~t of policy, implementation, and
financing strategies for the local, subregional, and regional scales.
. Transit Corridor Component. The BNSF rail line with rail linkages throughout the
Coalition and to Hugo may be the first viable mass transit option for the subregion. Already
the Coalition has acted with other interested parties to enable the conversion of the rail line
into an alternative transportation corridor. This portion of the study would examine the
feasibility of an alternative transportation connection and investigate potential transit-
oriented land use changes along the route and linkage with other transit corridors in the
subregion. (See transit corridor map attached).

7. SITE LOCATION
Describe the location and size of the project area, include maps (as attachments; see Sec.
2 L) identifying the location and the adjacent land uses and development. Include
relevant excerpts from the city's comprehensive plan for the subject area.
The seven cities that make up the 1-35W Corridor Coalition-Arden Hills, Blaine, Circle Pines,
Mounds View, New Brighton, Roseville, and Shoreview-govern 83 square miles of land on
either side ofl-35W as it moves north out of Minneapolis. Although as a subregion the. Coalition
is almost equidistant to both central city downtowns, it lies at an edge of the metropolitan area
that is still largely undeveloped. As a result, the subregion faces two types of development
pressures. The pressure to redevelop and infill underutilized parcels is felt in the southern
portion of the Coalition that lies within heavily urbanized Ramsey County. To the north, the city
of Blaine is feeling the effects of accelerated metropolitan growth as it issues nearly 1,000 new
building permits annually.
2
Because of its size, scale, and location, the Coalition has significant influence on a wide range of
regional systems. Growth in the subregion over the next twenty-year period could easily range
between 60,000 t070,000 people, with 10,000 to 15,000 new or redeveloped housing units and
40,000 new jobs. '
Environment
Most of the land within the Coalition is situated in the bed of Glacial Lake Fridley. The northern
portion of the subregion is part of the Anoka Sand Plain and relatively flat terrain, wetlands, and
sandy soils characterize its topography. The southern portion contains glacial moraine known as
the North Ramsey Mounds and is characterized by pocket lakes and wetlands. Rice Creek runs
through the middle of the Coalition, providing a natural resource and habitat connection to the
Mississippi River.
The number of lakes and wetlands within the subregion create numerous opportunities to protect,
enhance, and celebrate the environment. City and county governments have set aside significant
park and recreational land-such as Tony Schmidt County Park-and established connections to
regional systems through Long Lake, Rice Creek, and Snail Lake Regional Parks.
The same natural features which provide these water amenities also present a challenge in terms
of environmental contamination and brownfield clean-up. The Twin Cities Army Ammunition
Plant (TCAAP) has been targeted for clean-up and transition to commercial and residential
development, as well as active and passive recreational open space. Similarly, old industrial
sites in Arden Hills, New Brighton, and Roseville are being cleaned and reclaimed for productive
use.
Transportation
The Coalition is cut by a number of major roads. The largest, 1-35W and 1-694, intersect in the
middle of the subregion at the border of Arden Hills and New Brighton. Additionally, Highway
36 runs through Roseville, Highway 65 runs through-Blaine, old Highway 10 bisects Mounds
View, and the new Highway 10 cuts through the corners of both Blaine and Mounds View. An
important network of county roads cover major portions of the Coalition geography, providing
critical secondary road system miles that both relieve the freeways and serves to connect
subregional centers.
With the high number of lakes, wetlands, and parks scattered throughout the subregion, Coalition
cities have made a concerted effort to link these amenities through an integrated trail system.
Some, like Blaine and Shoreview, have focused initially on linking trails within their own
communities; others-Arden Hills and New Brighton-have worked together to connect trail
systems between their individual cities.
A baseline study of major arterials through the subregion indicates that 35W experiences
directional congestion during peak hours, but has available capacity for additional traffic in off-
peak hours and in the non-peak direction. This implies that there is a jobs-housing imbalance
within the region and that there is potential to capture commuter trips during the weekdays.
Traffic volume growth north of the subregion, which is historically between4 and 6 percent
3
annually, as well as pressure from short term development within the Coalition, will increase
congestion on 35W and force some traffic to use alternative routes. Although the arterial
roadway system has some available capacity to absorb this increase in traffic in the short term,
limited capacity on the principal arterial system will soon spill over and limit this outlet.
A recent Metropolitan Council Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) Program grant
application states that the northeastern portion of the Twin Cities.is underservedby public
transit. Metropolitan Council figures indicate that the unmet transit market potential will be.
1,679 daily inbound trips in 2000, and as many as 1,748 by the year 2004. Recent grant awards
provide for the addition of park and ride facilities, high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, and
increased reverse commute service to local communities in the subregion. Currently, no light
rail or commuter rail routes through the subregion are under consideration by either the state or
regional agencies. However, the Coalition, in conjunction with Hennepin and Ramsey Counties,
is pursuing the acquisition of the BNSF rail right of way in order to secure it for future multi-
purpose corridor options.
Housing
Since a great deal of the residential development in the Coalition was carried out during the post-
WWIl boom, there is a significant amo~t of older housing stock that is now showing signs of
aging. Specifically, homeowners are often finding it difficult to deal with the changing needs of
today's families when working within the architectural parameters of the prominent Cape Cod
and Rambler styles found throughout the subregion.
The area's changing demographics are also impacting the housing situation. Beginning with
Roseville, recent demographics have shown an aging population (more seniors, fewer younger to
middle-aged parents and their children) spreading north throughout the subregion. As seniors
continue to be drawn to the southern portion of the Coalition, city coUncils are faced with
questions regarding the appropriate mix of housing within existing neighborhoods and the
numerous issues generated as recipients of one increasingly dominant type of housing.
Using $120,000 as the standard, 63 percent of the single family homes in the subregion are
affordable. Current concerns revolve around maintaining these affordable homes as pressures to
redevelop impact residential neighborhoods. In addition, many manufactured homes, which play
an important role in the affordable housing picture, are aging and may need to be replaced in the
short term. The Coalition communities must still deal with how and when this problem is
addressed.
Economic Development
In addition to local commercial, office, and industrial clusters, the Coalition also contains a
handful of significant regional and subregional economic centers. The largest of these is
Rosedale Shopping Center, located within Roseville just north of Highway 36. With a large
number of supporting commercial businesses nearby, this area serves as. a regional destination.
Farther north, the Coalition is home to other subregional employment centers such as North
. Town, a office and light industrial center surrounding the intersection of Lexington A venue and
694 in Arden Hills and Shoreview, and a number of industrial uses lining Old Highway 8 in New
Brighton. Other light industrial and commercial properties are scattered throughout south central

Blaine. A future economic center, housing regional commercial activity, is planned for a portion
of the TCAAP site in Arden Hills.
As redevelopment occurs on older, outdated parcels, a growing number of specialized medical
services are appearing along the 35W corridor in Roseville. The appearance of these services,
which support major hospitals in the core cities and at the University of Minnesota, and the
replacement of the trucking industry, signal a larger shift in the general economy of diminished
reliance on heavy industry. At the same time, major corporate restructuring is having an effect
on major employers such as Unisys and Deluxe Checking.

9. HISTORY OF PROJECT AREA (1-2 pages)
Describe the history and background of the project area, such as previous land uses and
activities, development or r~development history.
The 1-35W Corridor Coalition includes a mix of fIrst-ring and developing suburbs. Within each
city are parcels and sites suitable for redevelopment and infill mixed-use development as well as
sizable areas that have not yet been developed (the Twin Cities Anny Ammunition Plant in
Arden Hills and the northeast comer of Blaine). Coalition members agree that how each city
chooses to redevelop or develop these sites and areas will have signifIcant impacts at the local,
6
subregional, and regional levels. They also agree that individual cities, the subregion, and the
region, would be best served by long-range, collaborative actions that create a subregion of
livable communities linked to and supportive of a multi-modal transportation network.
Although frequently grouped together as first- and second-ring suburbs, there is considerable
diversity found between and within each Coalition community. For example, experience in
operating as a city ranges from 108 to 40 years and each city has an individual set of civic
traditions. Difference in development patterns can also be found: New Brighton has areas in the
second or third generation of redevelopment, while Blaine has agricultural land outside the
MUSA; Mounds View is largely residential, while Roseville has a balanced economic base;
Shoreview and Arden Hills have linear shapes, while Circle Pines is compact.
But when it comes to making their communities more livable, Coalition cities share common
issues and challenges that cross city boundaries and cannot be effectively addressed by isolated
city actions. These issues and challenges might best be framed in response to the program
objectives of the Livable Community Demonstration Account.
1. Interrelate development or redevelopment with transit.
Coalition cities are currently under-served by public transit services. Due partially to the auto-
oriented, low-density development of the 1950s to 1970s, single-use zoning practices, and a
discormected arterial network, it has been difficult to provide cost-efficient transit service to job
and economic centers in the subregion. This circumstance suggests that individual site
improvements using transit-oriented design principles alone are not enough to ensure that the bus
or LRT will come. It will take intetjurisdictional planning and phased implementation to build a
viable transit system to serve transit-oriented development sites. For example, Silver Lake Road
has potential to redevelop as a series of small- to medium-scale, transit-oriented developments
with connections to east-west routes.
2. Intensify land use through appropriate density and mixing of uses...
Suburban areas most appropriate for intensified land use are often located at the borders of cities
or at the junction of major and minor arterials. To effectively intensify redevelopment and
development areas to the levels supportive of transit, cities will need to develop
intetjurisdictional strategies supported by the Minnesota Department of Transportation, the
Metropolitan Council, and the counties. The commercial/office area that straddles the Lexington
Avenue border between Arden Hills and Shoreview at 694 provides a good example. Prime for
redevelopment because of aging structures and corporate restructuring, this area could become
anintensive, mixed-use activity center if infrastructure and transit systems were designed and
developed to support a transit-oriented development.
3. Connect housing and areas of employment growth.
Suburban communities developed after 1945 are highly dependent upon access to regional
systems to provide residents with the full complement of jobs, goods, and services normally
found in a free standing community. This assumed accessibility aUows cities to take single land
use zoning to its next level: the bedroom community, large-scale employment centers, and
uneven economic development. Recognizing this fundamental interdependency among
metropolitan cities, the Coalition approaches this smart growth challenge as a matter of filling
7
gaps in housing and employment systems. For example, Circle Pines is largely a bedroom
community with workers traveling throughout the region. Connecting housing and employment
in this case may be a matter of providing housing programs that maintain solid neighborhoods
and improving transit linkages within Circle Pines and within employment centers.
4. Provide integrated mix of housing types and price or rent ranges within a
development.
Fueling resistance to intensifying, mixing, and diversifying housing within developments are
community concerns about property values, developer concerns about financial risks and market
trends, and city reluctance to be the first suburban city to alter existing zoning codes, to impose
smart growth principles on the private sector, or to invest public funds to link to regional transit
networks that are not yet built. The Coalition seeks to break this deadlock inhibiting smart
growth by working subregionally to:
. remove concerns about property values by maintaining housing and adding amenities to
neighborhoods;
. better understand market trends through sophisticated, current, and small-scale analysis
of socioeconomic data;
. attract developers knowledgeable about successful implementation of mixed-use and
higher intensity projects in suburban communities;
. research and develop ways in which zoning modification can be made to enable smart
growth while protecting investments of existing property owners;
. adopt common policies, principles, and best practices to encourage and direct smart
growth in a cohesive manner; and
. undertake subregional smart growth planning in cooperation with other public and private
entities that deliver the systems that connect individuals and communities to regional
resources.
The LCDA objectives are invaluable first steps toward a livable region. The Coalition would
like to suggest that individual cities-and the region--can realize the benefits of these actions
quickly and effectively if they are enhanced by intermediate efforts at the subregional level to
defray real and perceived political and financial risks, to create common denominators that can
be connected into regional systems, and to build local capacity to effectively deliver regional
goals.
10. PROJECT ELEMENTS (3-5 pages)
Describe'project goals, concept, scope. Specify the types, qualities, locations and timing
or phasing of proposed uses.
Goal: City achievement of goals expressed in the Regional Blueprint and Regional Growth
Strategy through collaborative action on a subregional basis and in cooperation with state
departments and agencies, the Metropolitan Council and its divisions, and county and local
jurisdictions.
8
Concept: The study will use smart-growth principles to create a subregional network of livable
communities through phased development, redevelopment and revitalization strategies that align
land use patterns with multi-modal transportation network development and coordinate city
comprehensive plans at the subregional level.
Scope: The smart growth build-out study is a next step toward subregional redevelopment and
development into transit-oriented neighborhood comers, transportation-balanced town centers,
and mixed-use subregional activity centers. This multi-component study will involve seven
cities and seek to coordinate with other government units, nonprofit organizations and business
finns. It will assume a 20-year planning window with three- to five-year implementation
time frames. In addition to developing a preferred subregional built-out option, the study will
address land use and transportation policies and principles; public funding mechanisms,
processes, and timeframes; public-private financing mechanisms; and recommendations for a
strategically phased implementation plan.
The study will assume the subregion acts as an interrelated network of local economies, natural
resources, infrastructure systems, human development programs, and residential neighborhoods.
The elements of the subregional network will be analyzed as they relate to one another within the
context of the region. The study will seek to maximize benefit of public research funds by
conducting this pre-development activity in consultation with such studies as the S1. Croix
Valley Transportation and Land Use Study, the Transportation and Regional Growth Study, the
Transit-Oriented Development Handbook, the Transit Sector Service Study, and the Regional
Transportation and Growth Study supported by the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Further, the Coalition will coordinate its activities with other surrounding and/or linking transit
corridors and organizations, e.g., Rush Line Corridor and North Star Corridor.
The build-out study may include and will not be limited to the tasks listed below.
. Preparation of build-out options based on current city comprehensive plans and
zoning codes.
. Assessment of land use capacities within the corridor using livable community and
$mart growth principles. .
. Expansion and refinement of the Coalition's socioeconomic data base to support
study analysis, to provide a common data baseline for city comprehensive plans, to
help ensure accurate profilesoflower income households, to provide improved data
for use in regional modeling, and to better infonn decision-making.
. Development of a subregional, multi-modal transportation model that incorporates
current smart growth principles and modeling strategies.
. Subregional market analyses of livable community development types.
. Coordinated planning and programming of multi-modal transportation projects to
create movement networks that increase mobility.
. Development of a preferred build-out option the integrates regional planning goals
with local planning needs.
. Identification of development and transportation phasing and financing strategies that
will facilitate implementation of the preferred build-out option.
. with recommended ways in which these models can be adapted for implementation
in Minnesota at the subregional scale.
9
. Preparation of recommendations for development programs and financing
mechanisms that can be replicated or adapted at local, subregional, and regional
scales across the region.
. Dissemination of information, findings, and recommendations to the region.
The Transit Corridor component will investigate how the regional multi-modal network can be
expanded into the Coalition's subregion through acquisition and redevelopment of the BNSF
railroad line as an alternative transportation connection and link to other networks.
. Conduct baseline analysis of the existing transportation facility, given present and
future land uses ~d fiscal constraints and a range of transportation mode choices.
. Explore expansion options within the subregion to build an internal network linked to
the regional system.
. Engage communities served by the facility in a dialogue about future land use,
transportation, and development options.
. Develop a preferred development option and supporting implementation plan,
strategies, and tools.
Smart Growth I Livable Community Study Connections
Land Use
The study will generate a preferred buildout option using known land use patterns that support
transit: neighborhood comers~ompact transit-oriented development, redevelopment, or infill;
town centers~ompact development, redevelopment, or infill; subregional clusters-higher
density, mixed-use development and redevelopment. (See diagram for descriptions and possible
locations of different scaled urban patterns.)
The conceptual diagram is just one alternative for how the Coalition might prefer to develop over
the next twenty years. It uses future city comprehensive plans and data to identify areas that
have the potential to transition into one of the above transit-supportive development. The build-
out study would take this same data and put it through a rigorous analysis that would test the
viability of conventional build-out, as proposed by cities, and the ability of the transportation
network to service projected growth given existing transportation systems and policy constraints.
The second build-out option will use the same constraints and analysis, but apply smart growth
principles to current comprehensive plan projects to develop an alternative land use and
transportation plan. A Coalition preferred smart growth build-out option will be the final study
product. It will identify the best locations for different types of smart development and how
development should be phased and supported by socio-demographic analyses, housing and
development market studies, best practices in smart growth transportation modeling and
Coalition-wide input. Accompanying the options will be recommendations for:
1. a strategic phasing of development and of the necessary multi-modal transportation
responses to accommodate mobility needs;
2. land use and transportation policy changes;
3. long-range financing strategies to encourage implementation through public-private
partnerships; and
4. modifications to city comprehensive plans, zoning codes, maintenance codes, and plan
review procedures.
10
Affordable Housing
Maintaining affordable housing stock, creating lifecycle housing choices, and incorporating
housing into mixed-use development and buildings are stated goals of the Coalition. The
Coalition is also concerned with the subregional 'jobs-housing balance."
The Phase I housi"ng study took several steps first steps in toward these goals. The build-out
study would add to this work by using socio-demographic data (not available during the first
study) to conduct an analysis of housing needs analysis and of market potential for different
types of housing. This analysis would seek to:
] . understand the subtle patterns of demographic change that have dramatic impact at the
local level, e.g. small neighborhoods of seniors aging in place;
2. conduct a full-spectrum, market analysis of subregional housing needs;
3. identify opportunities to expand and mix housing options using smart growth strategies;
4. identify opportunities to enhance existing neighborhoods with trail connections, transit
amenities, and infrastructure improvements; and
5. assess which housing programs have the greatest capacity for ensuring continued
affordability of housing.
The build-out study would use findings from the housing analysis along with Livable
Community Act affordable housing goals approved for Coalition cities to inform how housing
needs might be best addressed under the preferred smart growth scenario.
Public Infrastructure Impacts
Determining the effects of smart growth land use changes on public infrastructure is a primary
purpose of the build-out study. Although transportation networks and services are specifically
identified, the Coalition realizes that the projected growth will have significant impacts on sewer
and water infrastructure, parks and open spaces, and urban forests. The Coalition anticipates that
the existing public infrastructure will lack sufficient capacity to accommodate every city's
development plans, if they follow conventional suburban patterns and, there may even be more
stress if smart growth principles are applied. .
The preferred smart growth option would seek to address these tensions through a variety of
strategies, including: enhancing existing infrastructure, reclaiming deteriorated natural
resoUrces, applying sustainable engineering designs, practicing smart growth site designs, and
strategic phasing of development and redevelopment activities to avoid unnecessary
infrastructure demands. The transit corridor component of this study represents one specific
example of the types of opportunities the Coalition wishes to explore to resolve the region's
growth pressures. Accompanying the options would be policy and financial recommendations for
implementing infrastructure changes. Like the physical strategies, the policy and fiscal
recommendations would seek to work with existing resources in new ways and under new
perfonnance measures.

11. SPECIAL FEATURES
List up to five innovative, creative or distinguishing features. Describe each in twenty
words or less.
The proposed build-out study and transit corridor component has the following innovative
features:
. It is approached on a subregional scale, by a joint powers Coalition of cities committed to
collaborative planning and project/program implementation.
. It will employ use of the first interjurisdictional data base developed for a subregion in
the Twin Cities region and generate software applications that support subregional
planning, implementation, and civic engagement.
. It bridges the policy and implementation gap between regional goals and local needs.
. It works to aggregate individual smart growth projects into a subregional network of
livable communities.
. It seeks to augment the capacity of the regional transportation network with the addition
of an alternative transportation corridor.
. It seeks to create new policies, best practices, and financing mechanisms for the delivery
of smart growth development throughout the region.
12. LINKAGE WITHIN THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, TO ADJACENT
NEIGHBORHOODS (1-2 pages)
Describe the land use, pedestrian, and transit connections within the development or
project area.
Subregional pattern is typical of suburban development between 1950 and 1975.
Commercial/Retail development is in the fonn of strip malls or medium to small-scale
shopping centers, setback from the street and surrounded by open, paved parking lots; there are
occasional county road intersections that have neighborhood scale retail buildings on small lots
and closer to the street.
Commercial/Office development occurs in "park settings" designed to be accessed by
automobile, frequently located on the edge of wetlands and with no connections to adjacent
residential neighborhoods.
Commercial/Industrial development is similar to commercial/office in its site design and
location although this development typically has direct access to freeways or the trunk highway
network.
Residential neighborhoods street patterns vary from the well-known grid network to the
disconnected cul-de-sacs with limited access to collectors; the slower transition from rural to
suburban has also left a number of small subdivisions with driveways off the minor arterial
12
network. Subdivisions of varying sizes with housing built during three- to five-year timeframe
, and now experiencing similar maintenance and remodeling issues.
Pedestrian and transit connections in these types of developments are poor. Pedestrians in retail
developments often must walk long distances across inhospitable parking lots; freestanding
commercial structures are frequently designed to discourage pedestrian movement between
buildings; and transit service facilities and amenities are typically Spartan, if they exist at all.
Most housing subdivisions lack sidewalks and have only a limited number of access points to
collectors. And transit services are limited due to low density development and a poorly
connected road network.
Coalition communities are beginning to address the lack of these connections through a variety
of strategies.
. Shoreview is developing an extensive internal trail system to link amenities and activity
centers.
. Roseville development and redevelopment requirements set aside funding for on-site
transit amenities.
. Circle Pines is planning the redevelopment of its town center with an emphasis on
pedestrian and bicycle movement.
. Mounds View is exploring how it can support its large residential base and reinvest in
residential areas in need of redevelopment while, at the same time, reconnecting and
enhancing its open space and parks systems and trails.
. Arden Hills and New Brighton are working cooperatively to convert a railroad bridge
over I-35W into a trail link between two regional parks.
13. HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT AND TRANSPORTATION CONNECTIONS (1 page
or less)
Describe transit connections from the proposed project to local or regional employment
centers. Describe how your project could improve connections with respect to housing,
employment and transportation between the project area and the subregion or region.
Listed below are several potential outcomes ITom a smart growth build-out study for inner-ring
and developing cities.
. Cooperate with Metropolitan Council to site and co-develop subregional! and regional
facilities.
Examples: Explore the feasibility of red~veloping CR 10 Triangle into mixed-use
center with transit facilities; facilitate the conversion of the BNSF rail line to a
transit corridor.
. Develop fine-grained connections that sustain the regional system.
Examples: Facilitate collaborative planning process for the revitalization of
County Road D and West Lake Johanna; develop a best environmental practices
handbook for industrial sites.
13
. Work with regional entities to phase build out strategies so they support economical
delivery of transit services.
Examples: Redevelopment of TOO neighborhoods along Silver Lake Road and
Lexington A venue; redevelopment of Rosedale area as mixed-use suburban
activity center.
. Improve quality-of-life and preserve residential areas by addressing congestion on county
arterials and design guidelines and set stage for neighborhood scale mixed-use
redevelopment, and infill.
Examples: Apply flexible design standards to CR 10 through Mounds View to
encourage establishing a town center or cluster ofTOD neighborhoods; apply
flexible design standards to Silver Lake Road and Lexington to facilitation .
evolution of TOC neighborhoods and walkable town centers.
14. PLANNING PROCESS (I page or less)
Describe the planning process for developing the proposal, including the process to date,
and future planning.
The build-out study described in this proposal is the outgrowth of two years of intensive work on
the part of the Coalition. A board of directors consisting of mayors and city managers of each
city governs the Coalition. A community development committee with staffrepre~entatives
from the seven cities meets at least once a month to share information, to oversee and coordinate
Coalition projects, t~ discuss emerging issues, and form recommendations for board action.
Members of the board and community development committee often taken on additional tasks on
an ad hoc basis in response to needs of the Coalition work plan; they also hold joint workshops
to discuss Coalition direction and work plans, and to set priorities.
The Design Center has worked collaboratively with the cities throughout the process leading the
Phase I Subregional Livable Community framework Study, linking the Coalition to resources
and educational opportunities focused on livable communities and/or smart growth, and
providing technical assistance.
The Coalition is an innovative concept for local governments. The idea of cities working
together in a non-competitive mariner is rarely practiced so there are few examples or models to
replicate or adapt for Coalition purposes. This necessitates a learning environment for everyone
and the Coalition is particularly sensitive to keep its member city councils and commissions
informed. Many cities make written or oral reports to councils and/or commissions on a monthly
basis. There are occasion workshops for individual councils and/or commissions on livable
community topics and on Coalition actions. City staffs are included in work sessions on special
or technical topics, such as housing inspection or use of the subregional GIS. In addition, the
Coalition's administrator makes an annual visit to each of the councils to update them about
accomplishments and to respond to questions.

Proposal Development
Phase I. Track I Comprehensive Livable Community Urban Design and Transportation
Study.
Completed in May of 1998, Phase I work linked the Coalition's vision statement and issues to
livable community principles. Three work areas were identified: building healthy
neighborhoods, redefining metropolitan competitiveness, and building metropolitan town. Each
work area takes basic issues of subregional concern, e.g. housing, natural resources reclamation,
traffic congestion, and economic development, and places them within the larger context of
livable community. The study also explored new strategies for transportation planning, use of
community outcomes and indicators in a subregional setting, and new approaches to economic
development. Final recommendations included refining the livable community framework and
undertaking focused studies in each of the Coalition's planning areas: environment, economy,
land use, transportation, housing, and socio-demographic trends plus further exploration into
feasibility of developing and adopting subregional outcomes and indicators. .
Phase I. Track 2 Comprehensive Livable Community Urban Design and Transportation
Study.
Track 2 work drew to a close in August of this year. A final report is in production. A baseline
housing inventory and conditions study was conducted and resulted in Coalition cities bringing
together their building inspectors to work toward subregional adoption of common housing
maintenance code standards and strategies for enforcement, as well as a recommendation to
establish a subregional "one stop" HousingResource Center™. A baseline transportation study
of the major arterials established current traffic patterns, congestion levels, and accessibility
issues on North 1-35W. Socio-demographic data was developed and tested. And, an outcomes
advisory group met and discussed the role of outcomes within the Coalition context and drafted a
set of outcomes for board discussion. Finally, the urban design and transportation framework
was refined using findings from these studies and additional research conducted by the Design
Center. (Final report will be submitted to the board for approval in November.)
This work has set the stage for a build-out study. Substantial subregional data sets are now
available through the Coalition's GIS warehouse. The urban design and planning layers arein
place for in-depth analysis and revision. An organizational framework to implement study
recommendations has been proposed and is ready for testing and refinement as the Coalition
move forward. And city councils, commissions, and staff are anticipating working with the
Coalition to implement subregional projects.
The Coalition will proceed with this study in a similar approach. City councils, commissions,
and staffwill be involved throughout to share infonnation and to provide input into critical
stages of the study. The study would include public workshops and, hopefully, an interactive
web component that would keep the public aware of progress and provide another venue for
engagement.
15
IS. PROJECT TEAM (1 page or less)
Identify the participants on the development and management team, including
owner/developer, manager, architect, consultants. . Describe the experience of principal
partici pants.
The North Metro I-35W Corridor Coalition in collaboration with the University of Minnesota
Design Center for American Urban Landscape will lead and coordinate this project. They have
been working in collaboration for nearly two years. Representatives of affected local, regional,
and state entities would be invited to advise and inform the study on a regular basis.
The Coalition has been in existence since December 1996 and has developed and launched a
subregional GIS and overseen several studies and projects supported with funding through
Minnesota State Legislature, the State of Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic
Development, The McKnight Foundation, the Metropolitan Council, Metro GIS Council,
Ramsey County, Anoka County, Northern States Power Company, Williams Energy Company,
and Minnesgasco.
The Design Center for American coordinated Tracks 1 and 2 of the Phase I Urban Design and
Transportation Study and currently is engaged in several urban design and policy applied
research projects that explore implementation of livable community strategies in suburban
communities and development of methods and tools for replication. This work is being done
under grants from the McKnight Foundation, the Surdna Foundation, and the University of
Minnesota Center for Transportation Studies.
A consultant team would be established. Member may include, but would not be limited to the
following individuals or firms. Consultants would be selected based upon their expertise and
experience in livable community or smart growth principles, knowledge and experience with
existing Coalition data and work, or expertise in a specialized field critical to the study.

16. PARTNERSHIPS (1 page or less)
Describe the type and nature of partnerships in the project among government, private,
for-profit and non-profit sectors.
As this project moves forward, the Coalition anticipates fonning partnerships in different phases
of pre-development and implementation. During the predevelopment phases it will seek to
coordinate and possibly cooperate with other entities and consultants engaged in related studies
throughout the region. The intent is to avoid duplication of costs, to share of information and
analysis, and to contribute to regional understanding of how "smart growth" principles might be
applied in all parts of the region. Simultaneously, the Coalition seeks to conduct collaborative
comprehensive planning among city members of the Coalition with the goal of submitting
updated comprehensive plans coordinated at the subregional scale by the year 2003. The
Coalition will seek to coordinate implementation of development, redevelopment, and infill
projects with appropriate jurisdictions and entities of the for-profit and non-profit sectors.

17. USE(S) OF DEMONSTRATION ACCOUNT FUNDS (1-2 pages)
What specific project components are you proposing to fund with a Demonstration
Account award? Describe the benefits or value to the project that Demonstration
Account funds will provide.
LCDA funds would be used to:
. retain the consultant expertise needed to add analytical depth to the build-out/transit corridor
study;
. enhance and expand existing data sets;
. add new data sets to the qIS warehouse;
. research and develop subregional planning models that serve as links between the regional
and the local;
. develop the preferred smart growth option and recommended transit corridor options;
. research and craft implementation strategies; and
. prepare reports.
Without LCDA funding, the Coalition would not be able to undertake the build-out/transit
corridor study. There are neither the internal resources nor other funding avenues available to
carry out an intensive, in-depth study of this nature.
