COUNCIL STAFF REPORT DATE: 5/20/2025 FROM: Jesse Struve, Director of Public Works / City Engineer TO: Mayor and City Council City Manager Adam R. Bell RE: Hennepin County Project Updates Background Hennepin County (HC) has been planning a project along Douglas Dr. for ADA improvements to reduce crossing distances, full depth reclamation, and the project is expected to result in additional green space at some locations in the corridor. As part of HC’s long term planning process, they also evaluated 42nd Ave. (CSAH 9) and West Broadway (CSAH 8) based on the following criteria: • Asset Condition • Safety • Equity • Additional Factors o Does this align with city priorities, coordination with other projects, and recent investments. Based on these criteria, HC has determined that 42nd Ave. should be included in the 5-year CIP, and both segments of West Broadway should be included in their 10-year work plan. City staff and Hennepin County will provide an update as to what this means, potential schedules, and are available to answer council questions. This update is a high-level update and will not go into depth about what the project final design will be. There will be a quick look at potential road configuration options that may be considered during the planning process. There will be future meetings to discuss any potential reconstruction for 42nd Ave. and West Broadway. Attachments 1.

July 16, 2025 Board Meeting At the annual meeting of the WMFRD Board of Directors Josh Kunde will be sworn in as fire chief. This will be Sarah Larson’s last day as WMFRD fire chief. ADMINISTRATION/COMMUNITY OUTREACH Retirement / Resignation Our full-time Fire Inspector, Lieutenant Jon Jaeger retired on March 3, 2025; he was with West Metro for nearly 12 years, just over 10 of those years were as a full-time inspector. Staffing We are currently at 11 full-time and 51 paid, on-call Firefighters (POC), of which, 4 are on Leave of Absence (LOA). Honor Guard We had Honor Guard members help with the funeral of the Goodview MN Fire Chief Jason Gruett on March 20, 2025. 3 In a partnership with the Minnesota Fallen Firefighters Memorial Association, we hosted a Funeral Operations Class and Honor Guard Clinic for fire departments and other public service entities around the region at Camp Ripley the weekend of March 28-30, 2025. We had attendees from Minnesota, Iowa & South Dakota attend. Hiring Due to Chief Larson retiring and Chief Kunde’s promotion to Fire Chief, we are in the process of hiring an administrative captain of logistics and technology management. We sent out a request for letters of interest to our POC staff to see if we had enough people with the right skillset to hold an internal hiring process for this position. We received eight letters and decided that we had enough qualified candidates to proceed with an internal hiring process. The application posting closed on April 7 and we received five applications. All five candidates interviewed with an outside panel and two moved on to a second interview with an internal panel. The next phase of the process is a leadership assessment with Martin McAllister. Firefighters Fighting Hunger Our 14th annual food drive was a success! We collected $4,072.57 in cash and about 1500 pounds of food. Historically we have given all of the proceeds to The Food Group; however due to some new partnerships we have developed with CEAP and their Meals on Wheels program, we decided to add CEAP and NEAR to our beneficiaries of the food drive. We split the proceeds amongst these 3 local organizations. 4 Community Outreach Below is a list of the outreach projects Jesus Soto has done in 2025: Activity Age Group Date Amount WM Explorers teens 1/2/2025 8 HSS 1 Adult 1/3/2025 1 Meeting with State Marshal 1 Adult 1/7/2025 1 HSS 2 Seniors 1/9/2025 2 Interview with CCX-SMART911 news 1/15/2025 1 WM Explorers teens 1/16/2025 8 HSS 2 Seniors 1/24/2025 2 Pub Ed Event-MG Adults 1/30/2025 30 HSS 2 Seniors 1/31/2025 2 HSS 2 Seniors 2/5/2025 2 HSS 1 Adult 2/5/2025 1 WM Explorers teens 2/6/2025 12 Pub Ed-SEA School kids 2/11/2025 150 Car Seat Clinic Adults 2/12/2025 17 Pub Ed-Calibre Chase Seniors 2/21/2025 20 WM Explorers teens 2/20/2025 7 Meals On Wheels Adults 2/25/2025 7 Station Tour Family 3/2/2025 15 CCX Interview-Food Drive news 3/6/2025 2 HSS/Fire evac drill Group Home 3/11/2025 5 HSS 1 Adult 3/12/2025 1 HSS 1 Adult 3/12/2025 1 Beacon Academy 3rd grade 3/18/2025 45 Beacon Academy 4th grade 3/19/2025 75 Beacon Academy 5th grade 3/20/2025 75 WM Explorers teens 3/20/2025 6 HSS 2 Seniors 3/25/2025 2 Home Safety Surveys So far in 2025 we have conducted 10 surveys our goal is 30.

The goal of the evening is to show our firefighter families what we do when we attend training nearly every Tuesday. We are expecting about 100 people to attend this event. 5 West Suburban Fire Academy The West Suburban Fire Academy is still in session, with all 38 recruits from the four respective departments continuing in their training. Captain Wheeler is meeting bi-weekly with the other three department leaders of the academy to plan and coordinate efforts throughout the academy. • Recruits have been training on numerous topics so far, including:  Fire Behavior  Incident Command Systems  Search & Rescue  Firefighter Survival  Hose Line Advancement  Vehicle Extrication  Firefighter Health & Safety  Training at the Braemar Training Facility in Edina, focusing on high-rise & apartment fire operations, scheduled for April 19, 2025.  Live Fire training at the ABLE Facility in Burnsville, scheduled for April 30, May 3, and May 4.  Firefighter I & Firefighter II Certification testing on April 26, 2025.  Hazardous Materials Operations began April 28, 2025, with state certification scheduled for June 7, 2025. Graduation is scheduled for Monday, June 9, 2025. Emergency Management UASI Grant Update – Captain Wheeler is continuing to work through the Minnesota HSEM Grant Portal and with HSEM Grant Administrators on requisite documentation to continue this process prior to grant disbursement. There has been no notifications of funding freezes or interruptions thus far; Captain Wheeler is monitoring the status of federal directives and will advise of any changes to the process. Plans to conduct an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) training and exercise are currently in the process of being scheduled. This training will include staff from West Metro Fire along with staff across departments from New Hope & Crystal. The focus of the training will include reviewing EOC standup procedures and exercising current plans. The training is tentatively being planned for early October of 2025. Captain Wheeler continues to meet with the North Suburban Emergency Management Planning Group (NSEMPG) every other month. LOGISTICS Facilities Staff is in the process of a capital needs assessment for all three stations. Research and Development We are collaborating with Hennepin County Emergency Management, Hennepin County Fire Chiefs Association, and eight Hennepin County fire departments on the future of the radiological emergency program, Life Safety Unit (LSU) participation, and firefighter rehabilitation initiatives. Training and Departmental Operations Captain Grimes and Lieutenant Nichols attended Pierce apparatus technical training in May. This was a week- long course on chassis electrical systems and multiplexing. 6 Vehicle and Fleet Management Staff is designing and quoting replacement light rescue trucks, board approval will be sought later this year. IT and Communications ImageTrend inspection software and hardware has been implemented, including mobile tablets. Initial feedback from the inspectors is positive, citing ease of use and time savings. We achieved the next goal with Echo Analytics, updating the internal dashboard to allow POC firefighters to log in and track their quarterly training requirements. PREVENTION Fire Permits Issued in February and March Crystal 16 New Hope 12 Personnel Changes and Training Updates On March 3, 2025, Jon Jaeger, our Full-Time Lieutenant/Inspector, retired. Ian Watson joined our team a week prior as the new full-time Lieutenant/Inspector. Before his retirement, Jon provided Ian with valuable training on the inspection process. Ian has been doing an excellent job and is picking things up very quickly, which is incredibly helpful. He's already handling some basic fire inspections, which is a huge assist. Our goal is to fast-track Ian’s training and certifications as much as possible. While some of this will take time, as there is a lot to cover, experience will be the key. Over the next year or two, I’ll be working closely with him to ensure he becomes fully equipped with all the knowledge a fire inspector needs.

Bell, City Manager (for May 20 Meeting) DATE: May 14, 2025 RE: Discuss a zoning moratorium in the TC and TC-PD districts A. BACKGROUND The City Council has recently discussed adopting an ordinance to establish a moratorium on development in the two Town Center districts – Town Center Core (TC) and Town Center – Planned Development (TC-PD). The following is further information about this moratorium. Purpose: The purpose of the moratorium is to pause major development in the town center districts while a study is conducted of the city’s Unified Development Code (UDC). From that study City Council may direct that changes be made to the UDC to create the type of development that the city desires to see in these districts. Scope: The moratorium only pauses Type 2 applications, which are those requiring a public hearing by the Planning Commission and a decision by the City Council. These applications are larger scale site plans, conditional use permits, subdivisions, rezonings, comprehensive plan amendments, variances and appeals. The moratorium would not pause applications for zoning certificates, smaller scale site plans, lot consolidations, adjacent parcel land conveyances, and easement vacations. Attachments: A. Proposed ordinance B. Location of TC and TC-PD districts B. REQUESTED ACTION This agenda item is for discussion by the City Council prior to the ir anticipated adoption of the proposed ordinance on June 3, 2025. COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Moratorium on Town Center Development 1 CR205\30\1019247.v2-3/27/25 ORDINANCE NO. ________ AN INTERIM ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM ON DEVELOPMENT IN THE TOWN CENTER CORE DISTRICT (TC) AND TOWN CENTER-PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (TC-PD) THE CITY OF CRYSTAL DOES ORDAIN: Section 1. Background. The City will be conducting a study (“Study”) relating to the appropriate land uses, development standards, and approval processes that should be allowed in the Town Center (TC) and Town Center – Planned Development (TC-PD) districts. The Study is being conducted in response to direction given by the City Council in early 2025. Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.355, subd. 4 allows the City to adopt an interim ordinance for the purpose of protecting the planning process and the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens. Section 2. Findings and Purpose. 2.01. The City Council finds that it is necessary to complete the Study to address the types of development and land uses that are appropriate in the TC and TC-PD districts, and to identify appropriate changes, if any, that should be made to the City’s official land use controls, including but not limited to the City’s Unified Development Code (UDC) and Comprehensive Plan, in order to avoid potential inconsistencies in the development and design guidelines applicable within the districts and to harmonize the process and character of future growth. 2.02. While the Study is being conducted, the City Council finds that there is a need to adopt a moratorium on new building construction and building expansion on the property described in the attached Exhibit A (the “Moratorium Area”). 2.03. To ensure that no new construction or expansion within the Moratorium Area occurs that might be inconsistent with any potential future changes in the City’s official controls resulting from the Study, the City Council finds that the moratorium established by this ordinance should apply to all development review applications for the construction of new buildings and for the expansion of existing buildings requiring a type 2 review, as described in the UDC, within the Moratorium Area. The City Council further finds that, except as otherwise provided in this ordinance, no new type 2 development review applications applicable to the Moratorium Area shall be reviewed by City staff after the effective date of this ordinance. Section 3. Study Authorized. The City will be initiating a Study to analyze the current development requirements in the Town Center Core (TC) and Town Center – Planned Development (TC-PD) districts. Section 4. Moratorium Imposed; Exceptions. Attachment A 2 CR205\30\1019247.v2-3/27/25 4.01. A moratorium is hereby established on the acceptance, processing, or issuance of development applications or approvals, including but not limited to preliminary plats, re-zonings, conditional use permits, site plans, pertaining to any property located within the Moratorium Area. The foregoing moratorium does not apply to any type 1 or type 3 approval as described in the UDC. Section 5. Enforcement. The City may enforce this ordinance by mandamus, injunction or any other appropriate civil remedy in any court of competent jurisdiction. Section 6. Separability. Every section, provision or part of this ordinance is declared separable from every other section, provision or part of this ordinance. If any section, provision or part of this ordinance is adjudged to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such judgment shall not invalidate any other section, provision or part of this ordinance. Section 7. Term. Unless repealed earlier by the City Council, this ordinance shall remain in effect for a period of one year after its effective date. This Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force from and after its adoption and publication, as provided by law. Adopted by the Crystal City Council this 3rd day of June, 2025. ____________________________ Julie Deshler, Mayor ATTEST: Chrissy Serres, City Clerk Location of Town Center Districts Attachment B Page 1 of 4 4141 Douglas Drive North • Crystal, Minnesota 55422-1696 Tel: (763) 531-1000 • Fax: (763) 531-1188 • www.crystalmn.gov Posted: May 16, 2025 City Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, May 20, 2025 7 p.m. Council Chambers/Zoom Meeting The city manager’s comments are bolded. 1.

Regular Agenda 5.1 The Council will consider civil penalties for violation of liquor license regulations by Charles R. Knaeble VFW Post #494, located at 5222 56th Ave. N. Following routine liquor license compliance checks late last year, an employee of VFW Post #494 was convicted of selling alcohol to a minor. The City Council may now impose civil administrative penalties against the license holder. This is the second liquor violation for VFW Post #494 within two years, and according to the City Code in effect at the time of the offense, the City Council may impose a penalty of a $1,500 fine and a three-day license suspension. Before acting on the civil penalties, the City Council should hear any comments from the representative(s) of VFW Post #494. Pursuant to the city ordinance and the penalty for a second violation, staff recommends that the City Council impose a three-day license suspension and a civil fine of $1,500. 5.2 The Council will consider civil penalties for violation of tobacco license regulations by Dark Horse Vapors, Inc. dba Dark Horse Vapery, located at 5522 West Broadway. Following routine tobacco license compliance checks late last year, an employee of Dark Horse Vapors was convicted of selling tobacco to a minor. The City Council may now impose civil administrative penalties against the license holder. This is the first tobacco violation for Dark Horse Vapors, and according to the City Code in effect at the time of the offense, the City Council may impose a penalty of a $750 fine and a one-day license suspension. Before acting on the civil penalties, the City Council should hear any comments from the representative(s) of Dark Horse Vapors. Pursuant to the city ordinance and the penalty for a first violation, staff recommends that the City Council impose a one-day license suspension and a civil fine of $750. 5.3 The Council will consider the first reading of a rezoning ordinance for redevelopment of 6000 56th Ave. N. Woda Cooper Companies is proposing to demolish the existing office building and construct a 4-story, 44-unit apartment building called Lotus Pointe. The units would range in size from 1-4 bedrooms with mixed affordability levels of 30%, 50%, and 80% of the area median income. Parking would be provided in a basement parking garage and surface parking lot. At its May 12 meeting, the Planning Commission held the public hearing and unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning from Commercial to Town Center- Planned Development, including the site and building plans for Lotus Pointe. Council approval of the first reading of the ordinance is requested. 5.4 The Council will consider the first reading of an ordinance creating a neighborhood commercial district and amending the zoning map. The proposed ordinance would create a new district, Neighborhood Commercial (NC), and amend the Official Zoning Map to change all commercial properties to NC, except those in the Town Center area (generally around Bass Lake Road and Broadway) and the Cub area (36th and Hwy 100). At its May 12 meeting, the Planning Commission held the public hearing and unanimously recommended approval of the proposed NC district and zoning map amendment. Council approval of the first reading of the ordinance is requested. Page 3 of 4 5.5 The Council will consider the first reading of an ordinance amending the Unified Development Code. The proposed ordinance addresses several zoning policy questions discussed at City Council and Planning Commission work sessions during the past few months, together with proposed ordinance clarifications and corrections. At its May 12 meeting, the Planning Commission held the public hearing and took separate votes on each policy issue, which are described in your packet. The attached ordinance represents changes that were supported by a majority of the Planning Commission. Council approval of the first reading of the ordinance is requested: • Option #1 - approve the ordinance as recommended by the Planning Commission. • Option #2 - approve the ordinance with additional changes. Please see the list of potential additional changes at the bottom of page 9 of the staff report, and include the desired additional changes in the motion to approve first reading. 5.6 The Council will consider a resolution authorizing an agreement to install a new basketball court in Welcome Park. The Welcome Park basketball court is scheduled for replacement in 2025. The park system master plan calls for moving the court to a new location to allow more room for a future soccer field. A public engagement process took place in 2024, and the process resulted in a recommendation of a smaller, youth-sized court located closer to the play area and fitness pod. The 2025 capital improvement plan includes $25,000 for a new basketball court and $40,000 for a connecting sidewalk in Welcome Park, for a total of $65,000. The low quote for concrete, bituminous, and related work was received from Odesa II for $44,980. Recommend approval of the attached resolution awarding the project to Odesa II, in the amount of $44,980, for concrete, bituminous, and related work at Welcome Park. 5.7 The Council will consider the second reading of an ordinance related to boulevard trees and a resolution approving language for summary publication. At its May 6 meeting, the council approved the first reading of a proposed ordinance language clarifying when trees can be planted in the right-of-way. These plantings must be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer/Public Works Director to make sure they are in an appropriate location. The proposed language also has updated language clarifying when a right-of-way permit for this type of planting is required. Recommend approval of the second reading and adoption of the proposed ordinance amending Chapter VIII, Section 800.07, amending the streets, alleys, and public ways regarding the planting of trees in the boulevard, and language for summary publication. 6.

Bell RE: Authorize Purchase of Utility/Crane Service Truck Background The 2025 Long Term Plan includes funding for the replacement of utility/crane Service truck #429. Funding is currently allocated for $200,000.00 for the acquisition of this truck. This vehicle will be purchased from Custom Truck One Source for the price of $183,350. The existing vehicle is 9 years old and has been used heavily by our Utility maintenance team. It currently has a vehicle condition index (VCI) of 23 and any score above 23 qualifies for replacement. The VCI takes factors in age, mileage, repair costs, reliability, and type of service. Staff evaluated the vehicle to determine if it could be extended but feel there is a strong likelihood of a significant failure resulting in high repair costs if extended longer. This utility/crane truck F-600 gets use daily and will be equipped with a 7526 crane other accessories utility key rack, built in air compressor and safety lighting. The vehicle needs to have a large GVWR to hold pulling duties like pulling the URT (utility response trailer) be able to haul a 1500 lbs and must be able to have adequate braking systems to stop safely with all that weight. When pulling it will allow us to handle all our requirements and allow us to safely pick up and drop down our Submersible Sewer/Storm Pump at a depths up to 30’. it is replacing an existing 1-ton utility/crane service truck with a older 3200 electric crane. The crane is no longer in production or parts These accessories will be purchased through Custom Truck One Source for the cost of $8,816. The total cost of this package is approximately $192,166 due to the tariff and lead times of 1 ½ yrs to order a vehicle from state contracts we explore elsewhere finding better pricing or like state contract with only 1-2 months of lead time for delivery exiting truck #429 will be sold on the State of Minnesota auction with an estimated value of $25,000. These funds will help offset the cost of the vehicle. 3.6 Requested City Council Action Staff recommend approval of purchase of this vehicle and its accessories. Attachments: • Resolution for approval 3.6 CITY OF CRYSTAL MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 2025 – ___ RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF A REPLACEMENT 1-TON TRUCK WITH SNOWPLOW AND ACCESORIES WHEREAS, utility/crane truck F-600 is used regularly for various maintenance activities, including pulling the utility response trailer and all maintenance operations year-round; and WHEREAS, the existing truck scored for replacement on the vehicle condition index; and WHEREAS, funds are allocated in the Fleet Maintenance Fund for this replacement purchase. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Crystal hereby approves the purchase of a utility/crane truck from Custom Truck One Source for $183,350 and truck accessories for $8,816, for a total of $192,166. BE IT FURTHRE RESOLVED, that the existing pickup truck #429 will be sold at auction this fall.

Bell RE: Award Contract to WSB to Inventory Trees in the Right-of-Way and Parks Background The City of Crystal owns and maintains all trees located within the right-of-way along roadways. The city does not have an accurate tree inventory to allow staff or the council to understand the number, condition, or risk associated with these trees. Furthermore, emerald ash borer (EAB) has dramatically altered the tree canopy in Crystal. The only way to get a complete understanding of the number of trees is to hire a company to complete a tree inventory. We contacted 3 different firms to provide estimates to do this work and is summarized as follows: •WSB Inc - $39,020 with other add-on items that could expand to $57,266. •Davey Resource Group - $42,173 with additional add-on items to $50,173 •Bolten and Menk - $63,000 If awarded the contract, WSB will collect the following data in the field: •Diameter •Tree Species •Location (GPS coordinates) •Condition rating including defects and overhead utility conflicts. This data will be incorporated directly into our GIS system and will allow us to continue to maintain the inventory moving forward. As part of this contract, WSB will also submit a ReLeaf Grant Application for the city. By having an updated Tree Inventory that is incorporated into our GIS system, it will allow staff to effectively manage this asset, determine areas with little to no tree coverage, direct the tree planting to areas in need, allow staff to maintain the tree inventory moving forward, and will help the city score higher on grant applications. Proposed Schedule 1.May 20, 2025 – Consider approving Tree inventory 2.June – August – Tree inventory is being completed 3.September - November – staff can provide an update back to council. 3.7 Requested City Council Action Staff recommend approval of the contract to WSB Inc in the amount of $39,020.

We are pleased to present this proposal to provide a public tree inventory, analysis with five-year maintenance plan, and grant writing for the City of Crystal. We understand you are seeking a full inventory of trees growing in maintained spaces in city owned properties, parks and rights-of-way. In addition, you would like an analysis of the inventory data with a five year maintenance plan, estimating costs to help guide the capital improvement plan process. Further details regarding the scope of work are detailed in the scope below. We look forward to talking with you more about our process and how we can help deliver a high quality and cost-effective product to the City of Crystal.

WSB will work with your staff to generate the most useful schema (attributes collected about each tree) and values so that you can generate reports, track tree removals, species diversity and more. After the GIS schema is finalized, WSB will create a GIS based field collection application that can be used in the future by your staff to keep the tree inventory current. 3.7 Scope of Work | 3Proposal for the City of Crystal - Tree Inventory Assessment Scope of Work TASK 1. Tree Inventory Collection Application WSB will create a tree inventory collection application using Esri’s Field Maps application, utilizing an EOS Arrow GPS unit with sub-meter accuracy. If greater accuracy is desired, WSB also has an EOS Arrow GPS with sub-foot accuracy. Environmental scientists from WSB’s natural resources division will collect the attributes as defined in the City of Crystal schema. Attributes planned for collection include: -Location of trees (X/Y coordinates) -Type Property (Park, Facility, Street/Boulevard or other useful categories) -Diameter (diameter at standard height formerly known as DBH) -Genus and species (for example, silver maple) TREE INVENTORY BY WSB STAFF The following document outlines the comprehensive process and deliverables for the Tree Inventory project conducted by WSB staff for the City of Crystal. This project aims to create an accurate and detailed inventory of trees within the city using advanced GIS technology and field data collection methods. The inventory will serve as a valuable resource for future tree management and planning efforts. Additionally, the document includes information on the MnDNR ReLeaf Grant application process, which seeks to secure funding for tree-related initiatives in the City. -Date collected -Injection date -Condition rating on a 4-point scale (dead, poor, fair, good) -Ability to attach photos The information that can be collected is customizable, and WSB will work closely with Crystal staff to determine what data is being collected in the field and most useful for future management. We can also help determine what future reporting is desired and build the schema backwards from that point. 3.7 Scope of Work | 4Proposal for the City of Crystal - Tree Inventory Assessment TASK 2. Data Collection in the Field It is typically faster and more efficient to start with a completely new data set versus pre-loading trees, especially in a park situation where mapped tree locations can deviate from their actual field locations. This is also the case if the inventory has not been updated as trees have been removed or planted. ArcGIS Online (AGOL) will be used as the common data environment; all applications and maps created for the tree inventory will use this data and also be hosted within AGOL. In addition to the tree inventory collection application, WSB will also create a browser-based web mapping application to view and edit the tree inventory from the office. WSB will need a Creator level account in the Crystal AGOL with a Publisher level role for the duration of this project to create the necessary application. TASK 4. Project Meetings and Coordination We anticipate the need for 1-2 meetings prior to starting the project to refine goals, determine the final schema, and establish location priorities. Additional time has been included for ongoing communication and up to 5 one-hour meetings throughout the project life cycle. If these meetings and coordination time with the City are not needed, the time will not be billed. TASK 3. Quality Control and Quality Assurance Process (QAQC) Ensuring data collection is accurate and complete is a priority for this project. The following procedures will be used in our QC/QA process: -Each day, environmental scientists will review their work in a desktop environment to scan for errors and omissions, which will be addressed the following field day. -Weekly, WSB staff will cross-check a sample of trees inventoried by the other staff member. The project manager will review data and provide both GIS quality control and on-site field support on a regular basis. 3.7 Scope of Work | 5Proposal for the City of Crystal - Tree Inventory Assessment TASK 5. Tree Inventory Analysis and Five-Year Maintenance Plan When the tree inventory is completed, WSB staff will analyze the data and organize it into a series of data tables and graphics that will summarize: -Diversity at the genera and species levels -Diameter/age class -Condition rating of ROW vs. Park/Open Space Trees -Ash tree quantity, condition rating and location -ROW vs. Park/Open Space Trees The analysis will also include park maps showing tree locations, and include a map of heat island areas within the City of Crystal (tree canopy vs. land surface temperature) to help prioritize planting zones. WSB GIS staff will also generate 2-3 additional maps determined to be most useful by the City of Crystal prior to starting the project. Once the analysis has been completed, WSB staff will draft a five-year maintenance plan with recommended tree work. Each maintenance task will be described and the benefits to each will be defined (planting, pruning, removal, risk assessment, etc.) Best practice timelines for each maintenance task will be indicated and future CIP costs will be generated by gathering contractor estimates. If desired, the tasks can be divided into boulevard/ROW vs. park/open space work. TASK 6. MnDNR ReLeaf Grant Writing In an effort to help the City obtain desired funding, WSB will meet with Crystal staff to discuss the MN DNR ReLeaf Grant application once it is released (likely summer 2025) and finalize focus areas. Initial project ideas are removing and replacing ash trees in high use areas of parks, fund a low-income private property tree removal/replacement program, and requesting additional funding to keep the trees watered and mulched during the grant and tree establishment period. The Forestry Program Manager will provide a draft to City of Crystal staff and will incorporate edits before sending the final documents. The scope of work also covers any MN DNR required edits to the grant application if they are not able to fund the entire grant request. Grant writing is not defined in the fee schedule, but Forestry Program Manager time spent on the project will not be billed and is included in the overall scope of the tree inventory project and contract. 3.7 Scope of Work | 6Proposal for the City of Crystal - Tree Inventory Assessment TASK 7. Deliverables Tree Inventory Deliverables: -Updated/refined schema and tree points represented by a point feature class within a file or personal geodatabase (*gdb or mdb) compatible with Esri’s ArcGIS Pro. -Point feature (tree) attributes matching the City of Crystal schema. Tree Inventory Analysis and Five-Year Maintenance Plan Deliverables: -Written analysis of Crystal’s tree inventory results -At least ten tables and graphics to analyze tree inventory results -Mapped locations of tree species at the park level for the 19 parks (neighborhood, community, destination) and a map depicting heat island areas in the city (canopy vs. land surface temperature). Two to three additional maps can be generated based on client interest. -Written five-year maintenance plan by task (planting, pruning, removals, risk assessment, etc.) indicating best practices and timelines -Cost estimates to guide CIP budget for five years MnDNR ReLeaf Grant Deliverables: - First draft and final grant application -MS Excel file with grant budget -Adobe PDF with 3-year maintenance plan -MS Excel tree species and stock list, if needed 3.7 Relevant Project Experience | 7Proposal for the City of Crystal - Tree Inventory Assessment Relevant Project Experience PROJECT ONE: Complete Tree Inventory at La Lake, Woodbury, MN -Data Collection via AGO Field Maps in wooded park prior to trail project -Accuracy/Precision Required: Sub-meter -Total Project Time: Less than one week PROJECT TWO: City-wide Public Ash Tree Inventory, Mahtomedi, MN -Data Collection to the species level, condition, removal priority via AGO Field Maps on public right- of-way and park properties -Accuracy/Precision Required: Sub-meter -Total Project Time: Approximately one month PROJECT THREE: City-Wide Public Ash Tree Assessment/ Inventory Update, Brooklyn Park, MN -Updating tree inventory attributes via AGO Field Maps on public right-of-way and park properties -Accuracy/Precision Required: Sub-meter -Total Project Time: Ongoing PROJECT FOUR: Grant Writing, Brooklyn Park, MN -Wrote and successfully awarded a $500,000 MnDNR Shade Tree Bonding Grant, 2023 -Wrote and awarded a $50,000 Hennepin County Healthy Canopy Grant, 2024 PROJECT FIVE: Grant Writing, Mahtomedi, MN -Wrote and successfully awarded a $125,000 MnDNR Shade Tree Bonding Grant, 2023 PROJECT SIX: Grant Writing, Wright County, MN -Wrote and successfully awarded a $500,000 MnDNR Shade Tree Bonding Grant, 2023 3.7 Project Team | 8Proposal for the City of Crystal - Tree Inventory Assessment Project Team City of Crystal Emily Ball PROJECT MANAGER | FORESTRY PROGRAM MANAGER ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTISTS Dustin Simonson Tim Paquin GIS Graphic Design TREE INVENTORY PROJECT RESOURCES With our professional staff and project experience, WSB can provide the appropriate expertise for all aspects of the project.

Bell, City Manager (for May 20 Meeting) DATE: May 14, 2025 RE: Consider first reading of an ordinance rezoning the property at 6000 – 56th Avenue to Town Center - Planned Development for a proposed apartment building A.INTRODUCTION Woda Cooper Development is proposing to purchase the property at 6000 – 56th Avenue N., demolish the existing office building, and then construct a new 4-story, 44-unit apartment building on the property. The property is currently zoned Commercial (C), but the applicant is proposing to rezone the property to Town Center – Planned Development (TC-PD). Apartment buildings are a permitted use in that zoning district. Notice of the May 12 public hearing was published in the Sun Post on May 1, mailed to owners, renters, and commercial tenants within 500 feet (attachment A) and posted to all neighborhoods on Nextdoor. A sign was also posted on the property. At the May 12th Planning Commission public hearing, the Commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning application. No one from the public provided comments on the request.

BACKGROUND Neighborhood open house The applicant held a neighborhood open house on March 31, 2025, which was attended by seven tenants in the existing office building, the mayor, two City Council members, two Planning Commission members, the city planner, and the community development director. No residents in the notice area attended the meeting. The purpose of the open house was to provide information on the proposed project to prop erty owners near the facility. Attendees asked questions about the timing of the construction. Existing Use The 1-acre (43,714 sq. ft) property contains an existing office building, constructed in 1981, and a parking lot. Adjacent uses The following are the existing land uses and zoning districts surrounding this property: • North. Vehicle sales (zoned Commercial), single-family homes zoned R-1 5.3 6000 – 56th AVENUE NORTH – REZONING T O TOWN CENTER - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 3 OF 9 • East. Single-family homes zoned R-1 • West. Vacant property owned by Hennepin County • South. Across 56th Ave. N, apartment buildings zoned High Density Residential (R-3) Conformance to Comprehensive Plan According to the city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the property is designed as mixed use on the planned land use map (attachment C), which is described as a vertical or side-by-side mixture of multiple family residential, institutional, commercial and industrial uses. The proposed density for this apartment building is 25 units per gross acre based on a gross acreage of approximately 76,640 sq. ft. This density is within the required density range of 16- 64 units for the TC-PD district. C. PROPOSED APARTMENT BUILDING The applicant is proposing to construct a four-story, 44-unit apartment building on the property to be known as “Lotus Pointe”. The building will contain a mixture of 1, 2, 3, and 4 bedroom units, with parking provided in a basement garage and the rest in a surface parking lot north of the building. A fitness room and administrative offices will be located on the first floor, “multi- rooms” (typically playrooms, library or study rooms) on the second through fourth floors, and a rooftop deck on the fourth floor. The building will continue to be addressed as 6000 – 56th Ave. N. Site Plan Elements The following are the notable site plan elements for the proposed building: • Building setbacks and frontages. Except for the corner side setback (see section D, below), the proposed building meets setback requirements in the proposed TC-PD district: ▪ Front (south) property line: 10’ (the maximum requirement is 10’) ▪ Corner (east) side property line: 50’ (maximum requirement is 12’) – See section D. ▪ Rear (north) property line: 58’ (minimum requirement is 5’) ▪ Interior (west) side property line: 60’ (minimum requirement is 0’) As allowed in the TC-PD district, the applicant is requesting flexibility to the city’s requirement that the primary building frontage facing 56 th Avenue N. occupy a minimum percentage of that street frontage (see section D). • Building height. The apartment building will be approximately 43’ (four stories) in height, with an elevator tower at a height of 52’. Due to its proximity to the Crystal Airport, the applicant has notified the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the proposed building construction. The building itself meets airport height requirements, but the FAA will require approval of the construction crane that will be needed. Staff 5.3 6000 – 56th AVENUE NORTH – REZONING T O TOWN CENTER - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 4 OF 9 recommends a condition of rezoning approval that the FAA give final approval prior to building permit issuance. The applicant has completed a shadow study (attachment I) that provides a visual graphic showing the shadow of the proposed building upon the residential neighborhoods to the north and east. The study shows the shadow effect on two different dates – June 21 and December 21. June 21. The study measures impacts at 9 and 10:30 AM, Noon, and 1:30 and 3 PM. ➢ There are no impacts to the residential neighborhoods to the north and east at any of these times. December 21. The study measures impacts at 9 and 10:30 AM, and Noon, 1:30 and 3 PM. ➢ At 9 AM, shadows shade one home on Brunswick Ave. N. but by 10:30 this shadow is well removed from that property, and do not impact any other homes until 3. ➢ At 3 PM, shadows shade one home on Adair Ave. N. Typically sundown occurs by 5 PM on that date. ➢ As spring arrives, the shadows are reduced so that they essentially stay within the limits of the property. • Parking. The applicant is providing 71 spaces which does not meet the city’s minimum number of 88 spaces. The underground garage will have 42 spaces and the surface parking lot will have 29. The parking space and drive aisle dimensions meet UDC requirements. The applicant is requesting flexibility for two requirements relating to site parking (see section D): ▪ Reduce number of parking spaces from 88 to 71. ▪ Reduce the setback to the property line for the surface parking lot. • Stormwater management and erosion control measures. The applicant has submitted a stormwater management plan, which provides for a storage tank under the proposed surface parking lot. Review and approval by the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission is required. The percentage of impervious surface on the property will decrease from 76% to 74% (the maximum coverage is 90% for the TC-PD district). During building construction the city will require erosion control techniques to be used on -site including silt fences, inlet protection, and rock construction entrances. • Utilities. The proposed building will connect with existing water and sanitary sewer mains. There are no existing overhead utilities on the property. New private utility services to the proposed building, such as Xcel Energy, Lumen (formerly Century Link) and Comcast, will be buried underground. 5.3 6000 – 56th AVENUE NORTH – REZONING T O TOWN CENTER - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 5 OF 9 The proposed building will not be located in a drainage or utility easement. A front entrance stoop (ADA compliant walkway) along 56th Avenue N will encroach into a drainage and utility easement but will not be attached to the building or constructed on footings. This encroachment is acceptable to Public Works staff. • Access and circulation. The city’s Public Works department has reviewed the traffic circulation plan for standard sized vehicles and found it adequate to meet vehicle movement into and within the site. On the site plan reviewed by the Planning Commission, the drive aisle width in the surface parking lot was 14’. Although this aisle width met UDC requirements, the West Metro Fire Rescue District staff was concerned that the width of the drive aisle would not be able to accommodate fire trucks. After the Commission meeting, the applicant submitted a revised site plan (attachment K) to increase the aisle width to 16’. The applicant also provided a fire truck turning radius plan (attachment K) that demonstrated to West Metro’s satisfaction that a fire truck could maneuver through the parking lot. After the Planning Commission meeting, the applicant submitted site plans (attachment K) which slightly altered the driveway radius off of Lakeland Ave. N. to conform to the future construction needs of the extension of the Blue Line LRT, but the driveway radius would still work if the Blue Line is not built. There is an existing street cul-de-sac easement on the southwest part of the property. This easement was dedicated to the city in 1989 but the cul-de-sac was never built. Since a cul-de-sac street is not needed or planned on this property, the applicant will request that the City Council vacate this easement. • Building elevations. The proposed major exterior building material is metal siding, with brick masonry as an accent material. These materials meet the city’s requirements. A rending of the proposed building is attachment K. The applicant is requesting flexibility to meet the percentage of glazing on the building’s east side (see section D). • Landscaping. There are currently 13 trees on the property. The plan calls for removal of five of these trees, and the planting of 18 new trees for a total of 26 trees on the property. These new trees are: “autumn brilliance serviceberry”, “maidenhair”, “swamp white oak”, and “boulevard linden”. The applicant proposes planting seven varieties of shrubs, including those that will screen the proposed building foundation and the surface parking lot from view. For those trees that will be planted in the right-of-way, the applicant will be asked to sign a maintenance and replacement agreement with the city. The submittal of this agreement for city signature is made a condition of rezoning approval. • Screening. Waste receptacles will be located within the building and rolled out for pick- up by the refuse hauler. The applicant has stated that no rooftop mechanical units will need to be screened. A transformer in the northwest area of the property will be screened by landscaping. 5.3 6000 – 56th AVENUE NORTH – REZONING T O TOWN CENTER - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 6 OF 9 • Exterior Lighting. There are three city-owned light poles in the adjacent street rights-of- way (two along 56th Ave. N. and one along Lakeland Ave. N.). On the private property, there are no existing light poles, but the site plan shows six new light poles. There will also be seven exterior lighting fixtures on the proposed building, as well as bollards illuminating the entrance stoop (ADA compliant walkway) along 56th Avenue N. This lighting does not meet the city’s footcandle requirements (see section D). • Pedestrian connections. There is an existing 7-foot wide sidewalk along 56th Avenue N. A private sidewalk is located along the north side of the building that will wind along the east side of the building to connect to the public sidewalk on 56th. • Signs. The applicant is proposing a monument sign in a similar location as the existing commercial monument sign that will be removed. The UDC requires the new monument sign to not exceed six feet in height. The applicant must receive sign permit approval before installing any signage. D. REZONING TO TOWN CENTER PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (TC - PD) The applicant is requesting that the property be rezoned to Planned Development – Town Center (TC - PD), which has requirements for site design elements such as building placement and façade treatments, but the TC-PD district allows for flexibility in these zoning requirements. Attachment D details the applicant’s rationale for requesting flexibility with the following requirements. a. Corner side setback. As noted earlier, the maximum corner setback is 12’, and the applicant is requesting to construct the building at a setback of 50’. The applicant’s rationale is that the building is set back from Adair Avenue N. due to the presence of a 30’ wide drainage and utility easement on that side of the property. Staff is supportive of this request. b. Primary building street frontage. The UDC requires at least 75% of the primary building street frontage along 56th Avenue N. to be occupied by the apartment building, but this may reduced to 60% if the applicant can demonstrate that the purpose of the town center district is still achieved. For this property the minimum building street frontage is 346’, but the applicant is requesting that this be reduced to 236’ (68% of lot frontage). With two 30’-wide drainage and utility easements on both the east and west sides of the property, the buildable area of the property is limited. The purpose of the town center districts is to create a walkable, urban-like environment. With the building close to 56th Avenue N. and parking located either within or behind the building, the site plan will still create a walkable, pedestrian-friendly environment. Staff is supportive of this request. c. Parking Requirements. The applicant is requesting flexibility for two requirements related to parking: 5.3 6000 – 56th AVENUE NORTH – REZONING T O TOWN CENTER - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 7 OF 9 ➢ Number of spaces. The UDC requires two spaces per dwelling unit, one of which must be enclosed in a garage. The minimum number of parking spaces for this building is 88 spaces, 44 of which must be enclosed. The site plan provides for 71 parking spaces – 42 in underground parking lot and 29 spaces in a surface parking lot. The city’s parking regulations allow a reduction in the number of enclosed spaces if the applicant provides information about why it is not feasible to construct the required number. The applicant’s parking study (attachment F) compares the Lotus Pointe development to eight other recent apartment developments in the Twin Cities area that have reduced parking. On May 2, 2025 city staff visited six of these developments (attachment G). Only three of the completed developments have adjacent single-family homes. The study also cites information from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) that recommends fewer number of parking spaces for this development based on parking demand. After the May 12th Planning Commission public hearing, the applicant provided a parking management plan (attachment H), the submission of which satisfies an earlier Planning Commission condition of rezoning approval. Woda Cooper will allocate a parking space or two for each apartment, depending on the size of the unit. Parking spaces will be set aside for visitors and if there are available spaces, some tenants may be able to register additional vehicles. Only registered vehicles will be allowed to park on the property. Vehicles may not park on public streets from 2- 5 a.m. City staff is supportive of this request for the following reasons: ➢ Woda Cooper has submitted a parking management plan that will only allow registered vehicles to park on the property. The administration of this plan by the applicant is made a condition of rezoning approval. ➢ The property is currently served by bus route 721 and is planned to be served by the extension of the Blue Line LRT. ➢ Tenants will be discouraged from parking on public streets due to the city’s ban on overnight parking. ➢ Parking lot setbacks. The required parking lot setback to the property line along Lakeland Avenue N. is four feet from the face of the curb and three feet from the back of the curb. The applicant is requesting that the back of the curb be 0.8 feet from the property line. With two 30’-wide drainage and utility easements on both the east and west sides of the property, the buildable area of the property is limited. The purpose of the setback is to provide suitable separation or screening of the parking lot to adjacent uses. The applicant’s landscape plan adequately screens the parking lot from the residential uses across Lakeland Avenue N. Staff is supportive of this request. 5.3 6000 – 56th AVENUE NORTH – REZONING T O TOWN CENTER - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 8 OF 9 d. Glazing. The minimum glazing requirement for building elevations facing street frontages is 30%. The building street frontages along both 56th and Lakeland Avenues N. meet this requirement. The applicant is requesting a reduction to 8% for the elevation facing Adair Avenue N. The site is located on three streets and has a smaller buildable area due to the presence of two large utility easements. The intent of the UDC’s requirement was to ensure that the primary and secondary façades meet the glazing requirements and did not anticipate sites fronting on more than two streets. Staff is supportive of this request. e. Exterior lighting. The applicant’s narrative (attachment D) provides detailed rationale for the exterior lighting’s noncompliance with the city’s footcandle requirements at the property line. The site’s narrow buildable area due to the presence of two large drainage and utility easements on the east and west sides mean that various site plan elements, such as the parking lot and ADA compliant front walkway, are closer to the property line than is typically the case. Those reduced setbacks make it difficult to meet the footcandle requirement at the property line while still providing safety and security for apartment residents through an adequately-lit environment. The narrative describes the applicant’s plan to install lighting fixtures that are full cutoff and rated as nighttime compliant to reduce glare and lighting spillover. Full cutoff lighting projects lighting downward. The International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) is recognized by many cities for its efforts to minimize glare and reduce light trespass by installing full cutoff fixtures. Staff is supportive of this request. E. REQUESTED ACTION At the May 12, 2025 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission recommended by a vote of 8 to 0 (one member was absent) to approve the rezoning to Town Center - Planned Development (TC - PD) for the construction of an apartment building at 6000 – 56th Ave. N, with the following conditions of approval: 1. Site Plan. The development shall be constructed according to the site plan in attachment K. Prior to issuance of the building permit, the applicant shall: a. Provide documentation that the cul-de-sac easement vacation has been recorded at Hennepin County. b. Receive approval from the Shingle Creek Watershed Commission of the stormwater management plan, and erosion and grading plans. c. Sign a site improvement agreement with the city and provide an escrow to guarantee installation of the surface parking lot, underground stormwater chamber, and landscaping plan. d. Provide a maintenance agreement for city approval for the stormwater infiltration tank which will be recorded against property. e. Provide a maintenance and replacement agreement for city approval for the trees planted in public street right-of-way which will be recorded against the property. 5.3 6000 – 56th AVENUE NORTH – REZONING T O TOWN CENTER - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 9 OF 9 f. Provide an approval letter from the Federal Aviation Administration to the city. 2. Parking management plan. The parking management plan (attachment H) shall be administered by Woda Cooper to prevent resident parking from becoming a nuisance to neighboring properties. 3. Overhead utilities. If utility lines are installed, relocated or extended, the lines shall be buried underground. New private utilities, such as Xcel Energy, Center Point Energy, or Comcast shall be buried underground. 4. Special provisions related to Town Center - Planned Development rezoning. At this time, the rezoning to TC-PD implements the following special provisions in place of the standard town center requirements. Upon submittal of additional information as described in section E, additional flexibility to the city’s zoning requirements may be approved. a. The corner side building setback along Adair Avenue N. is increased from the maximum requirement of 12 feet to 50 feet. b. The primary building street frontage requirement is reduced from 75% to 68% along 56th Avenue N. c. The number of parking spaces is reduced from 88 to 71 spaces. d. The parking lot setback is reduced along Lakeland Avenue N. from 3 feet to 0.8 feet from the back of curb. e. The minimum glazing requirement is reduced from 30% to 8% for the elevation facing Adair Avenue N. f. The footcandle requirements are altered according to the exterior lighting plan in attachment K. The applicant anticipates starting construction of the building in Fall 2025, with completion in late 2026. If the Council approves first reading, then second reading of the rezoning ordinance would be considered at the June 3rd Council meeting in which the cul-de-sac easement vacation request will also be considered. 5.3 Site Location and Neighborhood Public Hearing Notice Mailing Map 6000 – 56th Ave N 4141 Douglas Dr. N.

The existing zoning is C – Commercial. The existing use is office, consisting of 1 office building with surface lot parking. The proposed use is multifamily, consisting of a 44-unit four-story elevator building. The Planned Development (PD) does not meet the lot area requirement of 2 acres. However, the property is located in a transitional area between different land use categories, and it is located on an arterial street as defined in the comprehensive plan. First, the property is located between the TC and C districts, which consists of commercial and park uses, and R-1, which consists of single family uses. Additionally, the property is located along CSAH 10 (56th avenue/Bass Lake Rd), which is defined as a minor arterial street in the comprehensive plan. The development meets the purposes of the TC-PD overlay district, because multifamily is a permitted use, residential density is between 16 and 64 units per acre (44 units per acre), and the building has been designed to be in line with the site development standards of the TC-PD district. The development also meets the goal of providing housing affordable to all income groups. The parking shown in the site plan varies from standard zoning requirements. Instead of 2 parking spaces per unit with one of two enclosed, the development will provide 1.64 parking spaces per units, with 29 uncovered and 43 spaces covered. Please see the attached parking study which justifies the lessened parking ratio. The zoning requirements call for a parking lot setback of 3 feet from the back of the curb. Our plan shows a 0.8-foot setback. We are requesting flexibility on this requirement as we believe it is the only way to fit all improvements within the limited width of the site. Our building is pushed as far south as possible, and its width is very inflexible as we must have circulation in the underground parking garage. The improvements to the north of the building are as compressed as they can be, even going down to 45 degree angled parking. We believe a reduced setback is necessary and will have minimal impact on the community. The standard zoning requirements state that “At least 75 percent of the building street frontage shall be occupied by the principal building on a primary building façade” but that “The city may consider a reduction to 60 percent to the building street frontage requirement on a primary building façade based on the unique characteristics of the site, if the applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the city that the building and site design fulfills the purposes of the TC district.” There is 346 feet of street frontage on 56th Avenue, the primary building façade, so the 75% threshold would be 259.5 feet of building frontage. As proposed, the building occupies 236 feet, or 68% of the building street frontage on 56th Avenue. The site has large, unbuildable utility easements on both the West and East ends, which constitute a unique characteristic making it difficult to meet the 75% threshold. If the width of these easements were not counted towards the building street frontage, the project would Attachment D 5.3 Page 2 of 4 Woda Cooper Companies, Inc. easily meet the requirement by occupying 88% of the building street frontage. Therefore, we believe the proposed site plan meets the intention of the requirements, and the project as a whole will fulfill the purpose of the TC-PD district as discussed above. The standard zoning requirements call for a minimum of 30% glazing for residential floors at street frontages. We have a unique site where three sides of the building face public streets. While the main North and South façade meet this requirement, as proposed the narrow East façade facing towards Adair Ave N does not. We believe the way the site has a unique condition because of how the street wraps around the site, constraining its dimensions and making it an atypical corner property, and ask for flexibility on the glazing requirement for the East façade. There are a few areas along the property line where the proposed site plan does not meet the standard zoning requirement that “Exterior lighting which casts light on a public street shall not exceed one foot candle at the property line abutting the street.” We note that in all these areas, the light is being cast on public streets already illuminated by city street lights, not onto neighboring properties. Below we will discuss each area, and the constraints of the site and safety that lead us to design the exterior lighting plan as we have. Main Parking Lot: Below is a screenshot of the areas over 1.0FC at the property line at the main parking lot. In this instance, the property line is directly behind the parking curb of the pole, making it impossible to have less than 1.0FC at that line (as it is directly below the pole light). These fixtures specified are full cut-off, nighttime compliant, and each have house side shields, to minimize light trespass behind them. It should be noted that the light trespass at the curb to Lakeland Ave North, will be 0FC. If we went to a wall mounted fixture on the building, in lieu of poles, the lighting would not be able to extend beyond the row of parking stalls closest to the building, thus making the drive aisle and north parking stalls without lighting. This would pose a very serious safety risk. 5.3 Page 3 of 4 Woda Cooper Companies, Inc. Parking Lot Entrances/Exits: Below is a screenshot of areas that exceed 1.0FC at the main entrance/exit of the parking lot. Because the property line is so far inbound of the roadway, the lighting is exceeded in these locations. If we removed these fixtures, we would have very low, to almost no lighting at these entrances and exits, where it is critical people are able to see, as they navigate to and from the site. Again, its worth noting, that the lighting levels are under 1.0FC at the curb to Lakland Ave North, and these fixtures are full cut-off, nighttime compliant, and each have house side shields. ADA Sidewalk: Below is a screenshot of areas that exceed 1.0FC at the South ADA sidewalk/ramp. These fixtures are low level bollard lights, provided to safely illuminate the ADA sidewalk. These fixtures are also full cutoff, nighttime compliant fixtures. Because of the distance from the building façade to the property line, the levels exceed 1.0FC In summary, to safely illuminate this site, some locations of property lines will exceed the 1.0FC maximum. In order to help mitigate this, we have specified fixtures that are full cutoff, and rated as nighttime compliant to reduce the glare and lighting trespass. We have made every effort to comply 5.3 Page 4 of 4 Woda Cooper Companies, Inc. with the city requirements, but being under the property line maximum level, would create a dark and unsafe environment. Existing adjacent residential uses should not experience any adverse effects from the proposed development. The drive aisle will face away from residential uses and landscaping will buffer the parking lot, preventing headlights from being shone into the windows of nearby houses. The site will be well lit and monitored by cameras to prevent any loitering or crime. The site plan’s drive aisle is aligned to give vehicles exiting the parking lot unobstructed vision right and left when exiting on to Lakeland Avenue and Brunswick Avenue. Access on the corner of Adair Avenue and Lakeland Avenue will only be a point of ingress. Adequate sidewalk access will be provided to allow safe access for pedestrians accessing the building. There are no use-specific standards to address, because the sole multifamily use standard is not applicable for the TC-PD district. 5.3 Facing 56th Ave. N.

From: Lance Bernard, Director of Planning Transportation Collaborative & Consultants, LLC Date: March 28, 2025 Subject: Lotus Pointe Parking Study (Revised: 44 units/71 parking spaces) INTRODUCTION TC2 completed a parking study for the proposed residential development in the City of Crystal. The subject site, shown in Figure 1, is generally located in the northeast quadrant of the Bottineau Boulevard (CR 81) and Bass Lake Road (CR 10) intersection. The proposed development is a 44 affordable unit apartment building, which would replace the existing Bass Lake Center commercial building. The main objectives of the study are to estimate the parking demand for the proposed development and compare it to City Code requirements, as well as market conditions at similar sites. The following study assumptions, methodology, and findings are offered for consideration. Figure 1 Subject Site Zane Ave Subject Site Brunswick Ave Bass Lake Rd (CR 10) Lakeland Ave Adair Ave Attachment F 5.3 Lotus Pointe Parking Study March 28, 2025 Page 2 PARKING ASSESSMENT A total of 71 off-street parking spaces (29 surface and 42 enclosed) are planned for the proposed Lotus Pointe development. To understand if the proposed parking conditions are sufficient, City Code requirements were reviewed, along with developing an estimated parking demand and assessing similar developments. The following information outlines the parking assessment. City Code The purpose of the City of Crystal’s off-street parking requirements (City Code Section 520.15) is to alleviate or prevent congestion of the public right-of-way and to promote the safety and general welfare of the public, by establishing requirements for off-street parking of motor vehicles as a use that is accessory to the utilization of various parcels of land or structures. To determine the site’s parking requirements, the development assumes a rezoning of Commercial to Town Center Planned Development (TC-PD), which allows for a reduction in parking per City Code (515.13 Subd. 4.d. and 520.15 Subd. 8). The off-street parking requirement for the proposed development is based on the following criteria: •Dwellings, Multiple-Family: 2 spaces per dwelling unit, 1 of the 2 to be enclosed in a garage. As shown in Table 1, the City parking requirement for the proposed development is 88 parking spaces. Based on the proposed 71 parking spaces, there is a 17 parking space deficit based on City Code. Table 1 City Code Parking Summary Land Use City Requirement Size City Code Requirement Multiple-Family 2 spaces per unit, 1 of the 2 to be enclosed 44 units 44 spaces uncovered 44 spaces enclosed Total City Code Parking Requirement 88 spaces Proposed Development Surface Parking 29 spaces uncovered Enclosed Parking 42 spaces enclosed Total Parking Proposed 71 spaces Parking Surplus / (Deficit) Based on City Code (15)spaces uncovered (2)spaces enclosed Total Site Parking Surplus / (Deficit) Based on City Code (17) spaces 5.3 Lotus Pointe Parking Study March 28, 2025 Page 3 ITE Review Another approach to understanding whether parking is sufficient is to review the average and 85th percentile parking demand information published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Using this approach, which is summarized in Table 2, indicates that the parking demand for the proposed development is expected to range from 46 parking spaces up to 64 parking spaces, depending on weekday versus Saturday conditions and average versus 85th percentile rates. Based on this information, the proposed development provides sufficient off-street parking to meet the average and 85th percentile ITE parking demand for all conditions. Table 2 ITE Parking Summary Land Use (ITE Code) Rates (Average to 85th Percentile) Size ITE Parking Demand (Average to 85th Percentile) Weekday Multi-Family Residential (221) 1.23 to 1.45 spaces per unit 44 units 55 to 64 spaces Saturday Multi-Family Residential (221) 1.04 to 1.14 spaces per unit 44 units 46 to 51 spaces Total Parking Proposed 71 spaces Comparable Sites To provide additional context, a review of parking rates at comparable residential sites is provided in Table 3. This information indicates that parking ratios of recent projects have ranged from 0.88 to 1.54 spaces per unit, which can be an indication of market conditions. The proposed development has a residential parking ratio of 1.61 spaces per unit, which is at the high end of the comparable sites.

Those that pertain to this project under “Section 520.15. Off-street parking and loading” are outlined below. Subdivision 3. General provisions. (b) Parking spaces to be permanent. Each parking space shall be permanently available, marked, and maintained for parking purposes for the use which it is intended to serve. •The proposed parking will be clearly marked and designed to accommodate residents, visitors, and accessibility needs. Resident parking will be “bundled” with rent. While EV charging stations are not required by the City Code, this project will include five (5) underground EV charging stations, one (1) of which will be accessible. Additionally, bike parking will be provided throughout the site. Subd. 7. Disabled parking requirements. Parking spaces required for the disabled shall be provided in compliance with all applicable state and federal requirements. If practicable, spaces for the disabled shall be located so they provide easy access from the closest parking area to the major entrance of the use for which they are provided. •The proposed parking requirements comply with the State of Minnesota's 2020 MN Accessibility Code, which follows the International Building Code (IBC) for apartment buildings and requires two (2) accessible spaces for parking areas with 26 to 50 spaces. The development includes two (2)parking areas: a surface lot with 29 uncovered spaces and a parking garage with 42 enclosed spaces. Each parking area will provide two (2) accessible spaces, totaling four (4) accessible spaces. Subd. 8. Modification of parking requirements. (b) Providing fewer parking spaces. An applicant may request a reduction of up to ten percent of the minimum required spaces in Table 11, but shall be required to provide the information required in this paragraph. The request shall be reviewed according to a Type 1 review procedure and the decision of the zoning administrator is appealable according to the requirements in the Crystal city code, subsection 510.35. (1) Number of customers, patients, visitors, residents, or other patrons of the proposed use. Information shall also be included detailing the expected parking behavior of these people (i.e., how long a customer may be at the facility). (2) Number of full- time and part-time employees. (3) Number and approximate timing of deliveries. •The proposed parking space count is outside the ten (10) percent reduction. However, the proposed parking exceeds industry standards and market conditions at 1.61 spaces per unit. Additionally, the proposed development is adjacent to the Town Center Zoning District, which requires (Section 520.15. Subd.6.e.) residential developments to provide a minimum of 1 space per unit, plus one (1) space per ten (10) units for visitor parking. The proposed development would exceed this requirement by 22 spaces. Furthermore, as the development is exclusively residential, it will not attract customers. Parking behavior will primarily be influenced by residents, with occasional use by visitors and building management / maintenance staff. 5.3 Lotus Pointe Parking Study March 28, 2025 Page 5 Subd. 8. Modification of parking requirements. (c) Reducing the number of required enclosed parking spaces. An applicant may request a reduction of up to ten percent of the required number of enclosed spaces in Table 11 but shall be required to submit a description of why it is not feasible to construct the required number of enclosed spaces. The request shall be reviewed according to a Type 1 review procedure and the decision of the zoning administrator is appealable according to the requirements in the Crystal city code, subsection 510.35. •The proposed enclosed parking space count is within a ten (10) percent reduction (i.e., two (2) parking spaces). Expanding the building footprint or reconfiguring the parking garage to add two (2)more enclosed space is neither cost-effective nor feasible, particularly since the proposed enclosed parking supply falls within the allowed ten (10) percent reduction. Subd. 11. Parking design standards. Required parking areas shall be designed, constructed, and maintained in compliance with the requirements of this subsection. (4.b.i) Use of compact vehicle spaces. This paragraph provides for the establishment of compact vehicle spaces as an alternative to full sized spaces. Such spaces shall comply with the following: (i) A maximum of 20 percent of spaces in any single parking lot may be dedicated to compact parking spaces. •A total of two (2) compact spaces will be marked in the parking garage, accounting for less than one (1) percent of the total parking supply, which complies with this requirement. SUMMARY Although the proposed development is considered under-parked from a multifamily residential development City Code perspective, it provides sufficient off-street parking when compared to current ITE parking demand rates and market conditions. The study indicates that recent regional multifamily residential developments have had parking ratios between 0.88 to 1.54 spaces per unit, with an average of 1.25 spaces per unit. This information suggests that the proposed ratio of 1.61 spaces per unit is anticipated to be adequate. Note that while the total parking space count exceeds the ten (10) percent reduction requirement per City Code, the development is adjacent to the Town Center Zoning District’s. This requires one (1) space per unit plus one (1) visitor space per ten (10) units. Under this requirement, the proposed development offers a slightly higher parking supply than required, further confirming the proposed development’s capability to meet the anticipated parking demand. 5.3 Name of Development City Status of building construcƟon Single-family adjacent?

Crystal, MN 55422 Dear Mr. Olson, As part of the proposed rezoning of the property at 6000 56th Ave N, we are requesting a reduction in the required parking to 71 parking spaces. We have submitted a parking study to support the lower number of spaces and are committing to this parking management plan to ensure on-site parking will be sufficiently enforced and not overflow into parking in the surrounding neighborhood overnight. Before signing a lease, prospective residents will be informed that on-street parking is not permitted anywhere in Crystal between 2:00 AM and 5:00 AM. This information will also be included in the Parking Addendum to the lease attached to this letter. To ensure adequate parking for visitors and residents, 5 spaces will be designated for visitors and the remaining 66 spaces will be restricted to vehicles that residents have registered with the Property Manager. There will be no charge for registering vehicles, as parking is included with the unit, but the number of vehicles that a resident can register will be limited. Each of the one-bedroom and two-bedroom units will be entitled to register one vehicle, while each three-bedroom and four-bedroom units will be entitled to register two vehicles. 63 non-ADA resident spaces will be provided, so residents will be able to register additional vehicles unless the total capacity of 63 vehicles is reached. These additional vehicles slots will be allocated at the discretion of the Property Manager but will generally be on a first-come-first-served basis. Vehicle registration will be completed through the attached Parking Addendum as part of signing the lease. Vehicle information will be kept on file and used to identify and tow unauthorized vehicles parking on the property. The Parking Addendum will also inform residents about the property rules surrounding parking. Sincerely, Eric Wright Assistant Vice President of Development Attachment H 5.3 Woda Management & Real Estate, LLC ver. 05/12/2025 PARKING RULES AND REGULATIONS AND VEHICLE REGISTRATION Resident Name: Unit #: 1.All motor vehicles must have a current license plate sticker displayed at all times. 2.Motor vehicles must be parked "nose-in" with license plate facing out. 3.At no time may any motor vehicle park, stop or stand in areas that are designated fire lanes, or no-parking zones.

REVISIONS DATE 5.3 ADD REQUIREMENTS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT PAGE 1 OF 5 __________________________________________________________________________ FROM: Dan Olson, City Planner TO: Adam R. Bell, City Manager (for May 20 Meeting) DATE: May 14, 2025 RE: Consider first reading of ordinance amending the Unified Development Code to add requirements for a Neighborhood Commercial district __________________________________________________________________________ A.BACKGROUND The Planning Commission is recommending proposed amendments to the Unified Development Code (UDC) to create a neighborhood commercial (NC) district. Notice of the May 12 public hearing was published in the Sun Post on May 1, mailed to owners and renters whose properties are considered for rezoning (see pages 4 to 6) and posted to all neighborhoods on Nextdoor. At the May 12 Planning Commission public hearing, the Commission recommended approval of the proposed NC district regulations (attachment A) and zoning map changes (attachment B), with the following additional recommendation: •Add four properties (five parcels) at 60th and Lakeland Avenue N. to the NC district. These properties are: o Golden Gate Auto, 6048 Lakeland Ave. N. o Jack’s Auto Sales, 6030 Lakeland Ave. N. and 6043 Florida Ave. N. o Odam Clinic, 6014 Lakeland Ave. N. o North Star Inn & Suites, 6000 Lakeland Ave. N. Attachments: A.Ordinance B.Proposed official zoning map showing properties zoned NC COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Neighborhood Commercial District 5.4 ADD REQUIREMENTS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT PAGE 2 OF 5 B. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT Create a new neighborhood commercial (NC) district. Prior to 2018 the city had two commercial zoning districts: the General Commercial district (C-2) which drew customers from the entire community, and the Neighborhood Commercial district (C-1) which provided for limited commercial uses near established residential areas. The C-1 district was not included in the UDC when it was created in 2018, and its properties were included in the Commercial district. City Council has recently expressed interest in re -establishing this district to ensure compatibility between residential and commercial. a. Location of NC district. The NC district would include commercial properties near residential uses, but outside of the following areas of the city: • Main commercial area at West Broadway and 56th Ave. N. (Bass Lake Road) • Cub area at the southeast quadrant of 36th Ave N and Hwy. 100. Planning Commission Recommendation. In discussions in March and April, 2025, the Commission indicated that the properties at 60th Ave. N. and Lakeland should remain in the Commercial (C) district. However at the May 12th public hearing, the Commission reconsidered that discussion and recommended that these four properties (five parcels) be included in the NC district. Staff Response. These properties are now included in the proposed NC district. b. Development Standards. The following are recommended standards added to the NC district, with proposed language shown in attachment A. 1. Purpose Statement. The recommended purpose statement is in attachment A. 2. Listing of the permitted, conditional, accessory and temporary uses. Planning Commission Recommendation. Commissioners recommended certain uses that should be permitted, conditional or not allowed (see attachment A). The Commission recommends that multiple-family and one-family attached dwellings not be allowed (note: these developments can still occur through a Planned Development rezoning). Staff Response. Attachment A reflects the recommended uses. 3. Dimensional requirements. Recommended minimum lot areas, lot width, lot depths, building setbacks, and greenspace requirements are in attachment A. 4. Sign requirements. Recommended sign requirements are in attachment A. 5. Hours of operation. 5.4 ADD REQUIREMENTS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT PAGE 3 OF 5 Planning Commission Recommendation. Hours of operation for the NC district should be from 5 AM to 10 PM, but in some cases it may not be appropriate to require a specific use to adhere to these hours. The Commission had also previously discussed limiting hours of operation for non-residential uses in the R-1 and R-2 districts. Staff Response: Attachment A allows these operating hours to be altered during the conditional use permit (CUP) approval process. Since non-residential uses in the R-1 and R-2 districts would require a CUP, and hours of operation limits may be imposed under the general CUP criteria in 510.19 Subd. 4(d), no amendment is necessary. As with all new zoning regulations, existing businesses that operate outside of the new hours of operation will be defined as “legally nonconforming”. This means that they may continue to operate outside of the new hours of operation but any new business that replaces them shall adhere to the city’s new hours. Staff will document existing hours for these businesses during the period between adoption of the ordinance and its effective date. 6. Design standards. The recommended design standard is that new building construction would be subject to a shadow effects study, as required in the Town Center (TC) and Town Center – Planned Development (TC-PD) districts. c. Amend medium (R-2) and higher (R-3) density residential zoning districts). The R-2 and R-3 districts primarily contain residential uses. With the creation of the NC district, commercial uses in the R-2 and R-3 districts are deleted to encourage any future neighborhood commercial uses to be located in the NC district. d. Recommended addresses for rezoning. The following properties would be rezoned for the new neighborhood commercial (NC) district (see attachment B). Property Address Current Use 2960 Winnetka Ave N.

Official zoning map. The official zoning map together with all materials attached thereto is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this section. The official zoning map shall be on file with the city clerk. 515.03. Establishment of zoning districts. (a)Established. The zoning classifications and zoning districts specified in Table 2 are hereby established within the city to carry out the purposes of this UDC. Table 2: Zoning Districts Abbreviation District Name BASE ZONING DISTRICTS R1 Low Density Residential District R2 Medium Density Residential District R3 High Density Residential District NC Neighborhood Commercial District C Commercial District TC Town Center Core District I Industrial District AP Airport District OVERLAY ZONING DISTRICTS FP Floodplain Overlay District SL Shoreland Overlay District PD Planned Development Overlay District (b)Relationship of overlay districts to base districts. (1)Where land is classified into an overlay zoning district, the regulations governing development in the overlay district shall apply in addition to the regulations governing the underlying base district, unless otherwise noted. In the event of a conflict between the standards of the overlay district and the base district, the standards governing the overlay district shall control. (2)In some instances land may be classified into multiple overlay districts. In the event of a conflict between the standards of the multiple overlay districts, the most restrictive standards shall apply. (c)Zoning district boundaries. (1)Zoning district boundary lines follow lot lines, railroad right-of-way lines, the center of water courses or the corporate limit lines, all as they exist upon the effective date of this UDC. 5.4 51 (a)Purpose. The purpose of the R-3 High density residential district is to provide for multiple family buildings and directly related, complimentary uses, together with limited commercial uses as provided herein. In accordance with the comprehensive plan, densities are to be no less than 16 and no more than 40 dwellings per gross acre. As part of the approval process for a particular development, the city council may set the maximum density at a specific figure within the range established by the comprehensive plan, depending on the character of the surrounding area and the potential for negative impacts on the community. (b)Site development standards. Such standards shall be those provided in the Crystal city code, subsection 520.03 for the site development standards that apply to the R3 district. (c)Other development standards. In addition to the standards established for the R3 district in this section, all development shall be subject to all other applicable standards as provided in the Crystal city code, section 520. Subd. ____. NC Neighborhood Commercial district. (a) Purpose. The purpose of the NC Neighborhood Commercial district is to provide for offices, low intensity retail or service businesses and compatible limited residential uses. Neighborhood commercial uses typically provide goods and services on a limited community or neighborhood scale and are located at the edge of a residential area on a site adequately served by collector or arterial streets. Neighborhood commercial uses have little to no impact on adjacent residential uses. (b) Site development standards. Such standards shall be those provided in the Crystal city code, subsection 520.03 for the site development standards that apply to the Neighborhood Commercial district. (c) Other development standards. In addition to the standards established for the Neighborhood Commercial district in this section, all development shall be subject to all other applicable standards as provided in the Crystal city code, section 520. (d) Hours of operation. All principal uses shall not be open before 5:00 a.m. or after 10:00 p.m. For those uses listed as conditional uses in Table 3 of the Crystal city code section, 515.17, the city may, in its discretion, alter these required hours of operation during the approval of a conditional use permit if the applicant has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the city that different hours of operation are appropriate due to the unique circumstances of the use. (e) Shadow effects study. The applicant shall submit a shadow effects study to determine any negative shadow impacts to residential uses within 300 percent of the building height. If negative impacts are determined, the city may require design techniques to mitigate the impacts, such as reducing the height of the building, relocating or reorientating the building within the site, reducing building mass, or stepping-back a portion of the building. (f)Façade glazing. For non-residential uses, the ground floor shall allow views into and out of the building at eye level between four and seven feet above the adjacent grade. Signs, shelving, mechanical equipment, interior walls, or other similar elements shall not block views between these heights. 5.4 77 amount of activity, the type of customers or residents, how goods or services are sold or delivered, and site conditions. (2) Use types. The use categories are divided into specific use types. The use types identify the specific uses that are considered to fall within characteristics identified in the broader use category. For example, one-family or two-family are some of the specific use types that fall under the “household living” use category. (b) Symbols in table. The symbols used in Table 3 are defined as follows: (1) Permitted uses (P). A “P” in a cell indicates that a use type is allowed by-right in the respective zoning district subject to compliance with the use-specific standards set forth in the final “use-specific standards” column of Table 3. Permitted uses are subject to all other applicable standards of this UDC; (2) Conditional uses (C). A “C” in a cell indicates that a use type is allowed as a conditional use in the respective zoning district subject to compliance with the use-specific standards set forth in the final “use-specific standards” column of Table 3 and approval of a conditional use permit in accordance with the Crystal city code, subsection 510.19. Conditional uses are subject to all other applicable standards of this UDC. (3) Prohibited uses (--). A cell with a “--" indicates that the listed use type is prohibited in the respective zoning district. (4) Use-specific standards. The “use-specific standards” column of Table 3 cross-reference standards that are specific to an individual use type and are applicable to that use in all districts unless otherwise stated in the use-specific standards. (5) Unlisted uses. If an application is submitted for a use that is not listed in Table 3, the zoning administrator is authorized to classify the new or unlisted use, with consultation from appropriate city departments, into an existing use type that most closely fits the new or unlisted use. If no similar use determination can be made, the zoning administrator shall refer the use to the planning commission, who may initiate an amendment to the text of this UDC to clarify where and how the use should be permitted.

Bell, City Manager (for May 20 Meeting) DATE: May 14, 2025 RE: Consider first reading of ordinance for miscellaneous amendments to the Unified Development Code __________________________________________________________________________ A.BACKGROUND The Planning Commission is recommending miscellaneous amendments to the Unified Development Code (UDC) mostly corrections or clarifications brought about by things staff learned while administering the UDC’s requirements. Notice of the May 12 public hearing was published in the Sun Post on May 1 and posted to all neighborhoods on Nextdoor. At the May 12 Planning Commission public hearing, the Commission took the following actions: 1.Minimum lot width/area for two-family dwellings. No recommendation (tied 4-4), so no change to the current ordinance which requires 80 feet and 10,000 sq. ft. 2.Restrict auto-dependent uses in the TC-PD district. Voted 7-1 for the restrictions, except not prohibiting fueling stations. 3.Modify parking requirements. Voted 8-0 to reduce the restaurant parking requirement and keep the requirement for covered parking (garages) for one-and-two family residential. 4.ADUs for additional housing types and NC. Voted 6-2 to not allow ADUs for additional housing types and NC. This means the city would continue allowing ADUs only for single- family detached dwellings. 5.Clarifications and corrections. Voted 8-0 to recommend approval of the miscellaneous clarifications and corrections to the UDC in section C of this staff report. COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Miscellaneous UDC Amendments 5.5 MISCELLANEOUS UDC AMENDMENTS PAGE 2 OF 10 Attachments: A. Ordinance as recommended by the Planning Commission B. Map showing existing and proposed properties eligible for two-family dwellings C. Parking requirements for other cities D. Commercial development parking counts E. Location of potential ADUs B. PROPOSED POLICY CHANGES The following four issues involve a change of policy that require amendments to the UDC. 1. Reduce minimum lot width and area for two-family dwellings. To provide more housing opportunities, the amendment would reduce the minimum lot width for a two-family dwelling in the R-1 district from 80’ to 75’, and to reduce the minimum lot area from 10,000 to 9,000 sq. ft. Attachment B shows the location of lots zoned R-1 that are already eligible for a two-family dwelling, and those that would become eligible if the amendment was approved by the City Council. Planning Commission Recommendation. Commissioners were split 4-4 over whether to make no changes to the existing lot width and area requirements or reduce the lot area to 9,000 sq. ft. for both the R-1 and R-2 districts but leaving lot width at 80’ for those two districts. Staff Response. Attachment A shows no changes to lot width and area for the R-1 and R-2 districts. This is because there was no majority in support of any changes. 2. Restrict auto-dependent uses in the TC-PD district. City Council has expressed an interest in reducing the number of auto -dependent uses in the Town Center – Planned Development (TC-PD) area. These uses are currently allowed as either a permitted or conditional use along the West Broadway and Hwy 81 corridors, south of 56 th Ave N (Bass Lake Rd) and north of the railroad tracks. The map on page 4 shows the location of 20 businesses defined as auto-dependent uses. These uses are vehicle fuel stations; vehicle, boat and recreational vehicle sales or lease; car washes; vehicle repair; and vehicle impound lots. Since the TC-PD is an overlay district that a property owner can opt into, all 20 businesses could be continued under the Commercial or Industrial zoning classification. If the text amendment is approved by the City Council, 17 businesses would become legally nonconforming (the other three businesses in this list are already noted as legally nonconforming), meaning that these businesses could continue to operate but cannot expand, and if the use is discontinued for one year, then that location can no longer have an auto - dependent use. The 20 businesses are: 5.5 MISCELLANEOUS UDC AMENDMENTS PAGE 3 OF 10 Vehicle fuel stations (Note: The attached ordinance would not prohibit vehicle fuel stations so these two businesses would not become legally nonconforming. • Speedway, 5359 West Broadway • Holiday (with car wash), 5410 Lakeland Ave. N. Vehicle, boat or recreational vehicle sales or lease • Christy Motors, 5272 West Broadway • Vacant building, 5213-5215 West Broadway • RAV Motors, 5241 West Broadway • Tower Auto Mart, 5273 West Broadway • Car Hop auto sales, 5417 Lakeland Ave. N. • U-Haul, 5465 Lakeland Ave. N. • Cities Auto (already legally nonconforming), 5630 Lakeland Ave. N Car washes • Car Wash, 5301 Douglas Dr. N. Vehicle repair • Quizhpi Collision, 5115 Hanson Ct N • Asia Auto Center, 5264 West Broadway • Aamco Transmission, 5231 West Broadway • Source Auto, 5301 Douglas Dr N • TGK Automotive, 5337 Edgewood Ave. N. • Skip’s Auto Repair, 5343 Lakeland Ave. N. • Boss Auto Garage (already legally nonconforming), 5259 Douglas Dr. N. • ASI Automotive (already legally nonconforming), 5701 West Broadway Vehicle impound lots • Schmit Towing, 5246 Hanson Ct N. • Twin Cities Transport and Recovery, 5124-5128 Hanson Ct N Planning Commission Recommendation. Commissioners recommended 7-1 in favor of the restrictions on auto-dependent uses, except that fuel stations remain allowed in the TC-PD district. This would mean that 15 businesses would become legally nonconforming, instead of 17. Staff Response. Attachment A reflects this recommendation. 5.5 MISCELLANEOUS UDC AMENDMENTS PAGE 4 OF 10 Auto-dependent uses in the TC and TC-PD districts: 3. Modify parking requirements. a. Eliminate or modify minimum and/or maximum number of parking spaces. ➢ Eliminate minimum parking. Some cities, including Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth, have eliminated minimum required parking to let the market determine how much parking is needed, while still requiring a maximum number of spaces. Staff has not found a city similar to Crystal (first tier suburb fully built out in the immediate post World War II period) that has eliminated minimums, and we do not recommend doing so at this time. ➢ Requirements for other cities. Attachment C is a table providing minimum and maximum number of parking spaces in similar cities for the most common land uses. ➢ Some cities in the table allow applicants to submit a parking study and give staff the authority to administratively reduce minimum parking requirements rather than going through a variance approval process. 5.5 MISCELLANEOUS UDC AMENDMENTS PAGE 5 OF 10 ➢Commercial Development Parking Counts. Attachment D is a parking table for ten commercial developments in Crystal. The table shows existing number of spaces, the number of spaces required under current UDC regulations, existing number of spaces and the year with the largest number of parked vehicles for ten years from 2004-2024. From the 1960s to 1990s larger numbers of parking spaces were required for commercial developments, including the developments in attachment D (except the Crystal Medical Center). The table shows that many of these developments are overparked, but if these businesses were created under current UDC regulations, there would be far less required parking. With the exception of restaurants, staff recommends that no changes be made to the existing UDC commercial use parking space minimums. For restaurants, staff recommends that the minimum requirement be reduced according to the analysis for restaurant uses at 3537 Douglas Drive N. (attachment D). ➢Parking for multiple-family dwellings based on number of bedrooms. One Planning Commission member said that they liked Fridley’s requirement for multiple family dwellings being based on the number of bedrooms. Fridley requires 1.5 spaces for each 1-bedroom unit and 0.5 spaces for each additional bedroom per unit. The table below shows examples of an existing and proposed Crystal apartment building and the parking requirement based on Fridley’s regulations. Staff recommends not amending the parking requirements for multiple-family dwellings since there is a provision in the TC-PD district that allows for the number of parking spaces to be reduced based on a parking study submitted by a development applicant. Name and address of Apt. Development Number of bedrooms Parking spaces provided Required parking if based on Fridley regulations 5240 Apts (5240 W. Broadway) 128 (13 one bedrooms) 117 77 Lotus Pointe (6000 – 56th Ave. N.) 92 (11 one bedrooms) 72 57 Planning Commission Recommendation. The Commission 8-0 recommended that the parking requirement for restaurants be reduced from one space per 100 sq. ft. of gross floor area to one space per 250 sq. ft., but no other changes to the parking requirements. Staff Response. Attachment A reflects this recommendation. 5.5 MISCELLANEOUS UDC AMENDMENTS PAGE 6 OF 10 b. Delete the requirement for covered parking (garage) for one-and-two family residential. ➢ Currently a single or two-family dwelling is required to have two parking spaces per unit, one of which must be enclosed in a garage. ➢ To reduce housing costs for new construction, the proposed amendment would eliminate the need for a garage but still require that each unit have two parking spaces. Builders would most likely still construct a garage. ➢ Existing homes with an attached garage could repurpose that garage for productive living space, such as a rec room or ADU. ➢ Attachment C describes whether similar cities require a garage for single-family or two-family dwellings. New Brighton and Brooklyn Center do not require a garage for a single-family dwelling, but New Brighton requires a garage for a two-family dwelling. Planning Commission Recommendation. The Commission recommended 8-0 to keep the covered parking (garage) requirement. The Commission requested that additional research be completed on this issue before it is brought back for consideration at a future meeting. Staff Response. Attachment A reflects this recommendation. 4. Allow ADUs for additional housing types and NC. a. Single-family attached and two-family dwellings. ➢ Currently, only single-family detached dwellings may have an ADU. ➢ This amendment would allow properties with one-family attached dwellings and two-family dwellings (duplexes) to also have one ADU with similar requirements as single-family homes (see attachment E). o Example 1: An existing side-by-side duplex with a walkout basement would be able to have an ADU in the basement, meaning there could be a total of three dwelling units on the property. o Example 2: An attached single-family dwelling could build a detached ADU in the back yard. b. Neighborhood Commercial district. This amendment would allow ADUs in the proposed NC district, as allowed by the pre-UDC zoning code (under this zoning, City Council approved an apartment above the Hardwood Floor store at 4611 – 36th Ave N). This amendment will allow a limited number of residential apartments to be included as part of a commercial use, typically above the commercial use. Detached ADUs would not be allowed in the NC district. 5.5 MISCELLANEOUS UDC AMENDMENTS PAGE 7 OF 10 Planning Commission Recommendation. The Commission recommended 6-2 to not allow ADUs for additional housing types and NC. This means the city would continue allowing ADUs only for single-family detached dwellings. . Staff Response. Attachment A reflects this recommendation. C. CLARIFICATIONS AND CORRECTIONS The majority of proposed UDC amendments would not be policy changes , but instead clarifications and corrections to existing requirements. The following are the proposed amendments. Planning Commission Recommendation. The Commission recommended all of the proposed amendments in section C, including new amendments relating to dry cleaning establishments added at the public hearing (see #12, below). Staff Response. Attachment A reflects this recommendation. 1. Greenhouse, garden and landscaping sales (pages 13, 14, 78). The amendment clarifies the difference between landscaping retail sales and landscape contractors, which are allowed in the Industrial district as “industrial or commercial uses with outdoor storage of parts, products or fuels”. 2. Portable storage container (page 19). The definition would now include soft-sided storage containers (“bagsters”). 3. Subdivision regulations (pages 25, 166). Clarifies that a subdivision review by the city only includes Common Interest Community (CIC) plats that divide the land into two or more lots (not merely a division of ownership). 4. Type 1 review procedure (page 34). Clarifies that the zoning administrator may be assisted in application review by other city staff, as is done for type 2 and 3 procedures. 5. Timeline to complete site improvements (pages 38, 39, 41, 42, 46, and 47). Clarifies the time frames an applicant has to complete site plan improvements after approval of a zoning certificate, site plan, CUP, rezoning, or PD rezoning application. 6. Site plan review (page 38). Requires only a type 1 review procedure for a building replacement on the same footprint and height as the original building. In addition, construction of buildings at the airport only require s a type 1 review. 7. Glazing coverage (pages 52, 55, 56). The requirement for coverage of glazing in the town center area has been increased to 70% and the requirement moved to reflect it is an enforcement standard and not a construction standard. In the neighborhood commercial and commercial districts, a new requirement for such coverage is added. 8. Allow flexibility for town center site development standards (page 52). The amendment will allow city flexibility for site development standards in the town center districts to accommodate those unique characteristics of the site which make it difficult to meet specific standards. 9. Shadow effects study (page 54). The study requirement is amended to increase the radius of a proposed building to include more residential properties 5.5 MISCELLANEOUS UDC AMENDMENTS PAGE 8 OF 10 10. Private recreational use in a Planned Development (page 73). This requirement is removed since the city has adequate public parks within walking distance of any potential development site. 11. Specialized care facilities (page 78). The ability to have a specialized care facility with 6 or fewer residents in the commercial district is deleted since these facilities would primarily be located within a single-family dwelling and that use type is not allowed in the commercial district. 12. Notes in permitted use table (page 80, 81, 84). The amendment revises the notes section of the principal land use table as follows: ➢ Notes 2, 3, and 5 have (or are proposed to have) requirements within the use specific standards instead. A definition has been added for dry cleaning plant (page 11). ➢ Note 4 relates to a requirement deleted in 202 3 that limited the amount of floor space for on-sale liquor, wine or beer. 13. Building signage (page 81). Requires directional signage at the public street if the primary entry door for a multiple family dwelling is not visible from the street. 14. Building setbacks in TC district (page 95). This amendment corrects an internal conflict since buildings in the TC district have different setback requirements. 15. Garage and carport requirements (pages 96, 103). In addition to reorganizing requirements for garages and carports, the amendment is to ensure that a garage is large enough for a vehicle by setting a minimum standard for a garage size. 16. Micro unit dwellings (page 103). The requirements for micro unit dwellings are amended to include theses units in the density calculation for the property. 17. Noncommercial greenhouses (pages 104, 126). The amendment corrects internal conflicts to clarify that greenhouses are not allowed in the front yard and are subject to the same exterior material requirements as other detached accessory buildings. 18. Seasonal agricultural sales (page 110). The amendment clarifies weekend hours for seasonal agricultural sales. 19. Exterior materials requirements (page 130). This amendment exempts hangers at the Crystal Airport from the prohibition of a corrugated metal exterior. 20. Tree removal and replacement requirements (pages 136-137). The amendment clarifies the process for determining which trees need to be replaced if removed and which trees can be removed without replacement. 21. Ground mechanical equipment (page 141). Amendment provides an exemption for locating ground mechanical equipment between the building and the public street right - of-way if required by a private utility company. 22. Parking for ADUs (page 146). Clarifies that the requirement for parking is for each unit. 23. Parking lot setback (page 153). The amendment allows for the required minimum 10’ parking lot setback adjacent to residential properties to be reduced to 5’ if a permanent screen fence is installed. 24. Driveway and parking lot paver requirements (page 156). The city allows pavers for driveways and parking lots, but the UDC does not currently have any standards for approval. This amendment adds those standards. 25. Grading (page 173). The amendment adds a cross-reference to chapter 415 of the city code, which has requirements for grading. 26. Signs. 5.5 MISCELLANEOUS UDC AMENDMENTS PAGE 9 OF 10 ➢ Substitution clause for signs (pages 181, 188, 189). These amendments are to clarify the content neutrality sections of the sign code. ➢ Sign height (page 183). The amendment correct an internal conflict between the sigh height of 25’ and the sign height requirements for individual sign types. ➢ Electronic readerboard (page 185). The amendment clarifies how the sign area for an electronic readerboard is measured. ➢ Freestanding signs (page 186). Clarify that the 50’ setback is to an adjacent residential use, not district. ➢ Temporary signs (page 188). The amendment provides size requirements for temporary signs. D. REQUESTED ACTION City Council approval of first reading is requested. Option #1: Approve first reading of the attached ordinance which reflects the Planning Commission recommendation: 1. Minimum lot width/area for two-family dwellings. No recommendation (tied 4-4), so no change to the current ordinance which requires 80 feet and 10,000 sq. ft. 2.

Bell RE: Basketball Court and Sidewalk in Welcome Park Background The Welcome Park basketball court is scheduled for replacement in 2025. Moving the basketball court to a new location was proposed in the 2017 park system master plan, to allow more room for a future soccer field. A public engagement process took place in 2024 that presented two court size (youth vs. adult) and location concepts for the new court. These concepts were discussed at a public meeting in Welcome Park in June, shared online and regularly reviewed by the park and recreation commission. While the master plan had proposed an adult sized basketball court behind the outfield fence of the softball field, the public engagement process recommended a youth sized court closer to the play area and fitness pod. The smaller court near the playground is proposed here. The 2025 capital improvement plan (park improvements) includes $25,000 for a new basketball court and $40,000 for a connecting sidewalk in Welcome Park; for a total of $65,000. The low quote for concrete, bituminous and related work was received from Odesa II in the amount of $44,980. Additional costs include amenities such as a basketball goals and a bench; and up to 10% for contingencies. The four quotes received were from: Odesa II $ 44,980 Bituminous Roadways $ 54,110 KA Witt Construction $ 61,995 Sunram Construction Inc. $ 65,145 Requested City Council Action Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution, entering into an agreement with Odesa II, in the amount of $44,980; for concrete, bituminous and related work at Welcome Park. 5.6 CITY OF CRYSTAL MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 2025-xx RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF A NEW BASKETBALL COURT AND SIDEWALK IN WELCOME PARK WHEREAS, the City of Crystal owns and operates Welcome Park; and WHEREAS, the 2025 capital improvement plan (park improvements) includes funding for a new basketball court and connecting sidewalk in Welcome Park; and WHEREAS, A public engagement process took place in 2024 that included concepts being discussed at a meeting in the park in June, sharing plans online for public comment and regular review by the park and recreation commission; and WHEREAS, Four quotes were received for concrete, bituminous and related work in the park; and WHEREAS; the lowest quote was received from Odesa II in the amount of $44,980.

Bell RE: Consider second reading and adoption of an ordinance with changes to the Right-of-Way Code 800.07 Background Over the last 5 years, the emerald ash borer (EAB) has decimated the ash trees on both public and private property in Crystal. This has dramatically reduced the tree canopy within Crystal and many of these residents impacted are reluctant to plant new trees. The reduction of trees in the community can impact the community by: •The loss of mature trees can reduce property values. •Trees provide shade which help reduce heat islands and reduce watering of lawns. •Mature trees can prevent water from reaching the ground, helping to reduce the amount of runoff. The reduction of the tree canopy has been a point of concern for the council. The council directed staff to explore allowing the planting trees in the Blvd. to restore the tree canopy lost by the EAB. While the existing city code allows planting in the Blvd. through a permit process, it has been Public Works policy not to plant trees due to the on-going costs associated with owning and maintaining these trees. Staff are proposing we make changes to our current City Code to more clearly allow the city to undertake a tree planting project. Staff are recommending the following changes to the existing ordinance: 800.07. Right-of-way permit. Subd. 1. Required. It is unlawful for any person to do any of the following within a right - of-way without first obtaining a right-of-way permit from the director: (a) Obstruct, excavate, or place any facilities; (b) Lay, construct, move, or modify any sidewalk, driveway approach, curb, or curb and gutter; or (c) Plant or place any new trees, shrubs, or bushes. The placement of trees, shrubs, or bushes in the right -of-way will not be allowed, except when conducted or permitted by the city or under unique circumstances where the plantings are part of a development approved by the city. No plantings may occur unless 5.7 the director determines they will not interfere with safety or the maintenance of the right-of-way. Subd. 2. Exceptions. A right-of-way permit is not required for any of the following: (a) Work performed by the city or by a city contractor; and (b) For a property owner to plant or maintain boulevard plantings, other than trees, shrubs, or bushes, in the area of the right-of-way between their property and the street curb, provided such plantings comply in accordance with Crystal city code, subsection 800.49, subdivision 5. (c) A property owner can only plant a tree in the Blvd. by pulling a right of way permit (no fee) and with the approval of the location and species from the Director of Public Works. If a tree is planted without prior approval, it will be the responsibility of the property owner to maintain. Proposed Schedule 1. May 6, 2025 – First Reading 2. May 20, 2025 – Second Reading 3. May 29, 2025 – Publish the Summary of Ordinance 4.
