CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council/Financial Commission Joint Work Session was called to order by Mayor Pro Tem Ryan at 6:00 p.m. 2. ROLL CALL Mayor Pro Tem Mike Elliott and Councilmembers April Graves and Kris Lawrence-Anderson were present. Also present was Financial Commissioner Chair Taneshia Kragness and Commissioner Dean Van Der Werf. Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, City Clerk/Interim Assistant City Manager Barb Suciu, Director of Finance and Fiscal Services Angela Holm, Communications & Community Engagement Manager/Interim Assistant City Manager, and Police Chief Kellace McDaniel. 3. PURCHASING POLICY REVIEW 3a. PURCHASING POLICY 2019 City Manager Reggie Edwards summarized the item and introduced Director of Finance and Fiscal Services Angela Holm to continue the Staff presentation. Ms. Holm explained the policy is short and provides directions for City Staff regarding purchasing items, whether direct or contracted. The purpose of the policy is to ensure all purchases are made following local, State, and Federal laws, provide uniform purchasing procedures and provide City Manager with adequate control over purchasing functions. Ms. Holm added disbursements must be properly authorized, appropriately classified within the City’s Chart of Accounts, and accurately recorded in the financial system. Ms. Holm stated the policy includes a listing of procedures that guide City Staff regarding the application of the Policy to common purchasing activities. Appendix A provides a listing of all authorized purchasers by job title for the City. Appendix B describes the procedure for petty cash. 11/9/2022 Page 2 Ms. Holm showed a slide with a table detailing purchasing authorization by purchase amount. Purchases under $1,000 may be approved by an authorized purchaser. Purchases under $10,000 require the Department Head's approval of the invoice. Purchases under $25,000 require the Department Head's preapproval of purchases, two quotes or purchased through a cooperative purchasing program, and the Department Head's approval of the invoice. Purchases under $175,000 require the Department Head's preapproval of purchases, two quotes or purchased through a cooperative purchasing program, and the Department Head and City Manager's approval of the invoice. Lastly, purchases over $175,000 require a formal bidding process. Ms. Holm stated purchasing controls include required price quotations, approvals of purchases by certain Staff, formal bidding about a certain threshold, and the monitoring of budget concerns. Dr. Edwards noted purchases above a certain amount must also be reviewed and approved by Council through a resolution. Ms. Holm noted there are future related projects. Communication with comparable cities and industry groups will be completed for best practices. There will need to be ongoing updates to policies about technology advances. Also, the Staff is working on a Grant Management Policy with a similar purpose and procedural documents. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson suggested the Finance Commission take on some legwork to alleviate the time of Staff and also use their expertise. Dr. Edwards stated the Finance Commission has the opportunity to provide input at the current meeting. From there, it can be brought back to the Council to consider amendments. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated she would like the Finance Commission to review the document on its own as a formal advisory board. Finance Commission Chair Taneshia Kragness agreed she was under the impression the Finance Commission would have a separate opportunity to review the document and provide recommendations to the Council. Mayor Pro Tem Ryan noted there is at least one CPA on the Finance Commission. He asked for the date when the software package would be ready for use. Ms. Holm stated the software package is in use, but there isn’t full integration of the software process into the currently proposed purchasing policy. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson added she would hope no single person could go through the whole process without another person looking it over. Ms. Holm stated it would be possible, but the scenario is very unlikely. The entire trail would be tracked either way. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated she would like to see something in the policy to address the possibility of a single person doing an entire purchase process. Additionally, there should be certain triggers in the process that require an additional check based on the financial amount. The volunteered financial experts on the Commission should be utilized in the process. Dr. Edwards confirmed there are additional checks and balances at certain price points. The only way one person could purchase with no checks and balances is for a purchase of under $1,000. 11/9/2022 Page 3 Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson added the $175,000 portion should be lowered. The Finance Commission should have the opportunity to weigh in on all of the financial categories from the chart. Chair Kragness suggested there be a policy added that requires the person who works with the vendor to be separate from the person who oversees the payment portion. Ms. Holm stated there is a technician with the City who handles the invoicing process. The technician makes sure information is available to the relevant parties for the approval process to begin. Chair Kragness asked if there have been recommendations from the Audit Committee. Ms. Holm stated the Audit Committee reviews the process every couple of years, but there have been no major issues. Mayor Pro Tem Ryan added the auditor is aware of the implications of a smaller Staff sharing the functions. An auditor has recommended procedures to ensure the steps are completed by different Staff members. Finance Commissioner Dean Van Der Werf asked if there is a consideration if the purchase is within the budget. Ms. Holm stated it is the responsibility of the Department Head to ensure the purchase is within their Department’s budget. Dr. Edwards added Departments get monthly updates on their budgets so they are more aware of what has been spent. Chair Kragness asked what is done to ensure there is one request for $30,000 rather than three for $9,999. Ms. Holm stated that is the responsibility of the Department Heads to follow the procedures. It is also an issue of compliance that the auditor would pay attention to. Commissioner Kpaleh asked what the function of the Mayor is if everything is run through Staff. Dr. Edwards stated the Council and Mayor are in charge of policy. From there, the Council hires a City Manager to ensure the policies are executed. Councilmember Graves noted there are best-practices documents offered by the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE) that could be of use to Brooklyn Center. Mayor Pro Tem Ryan added the Minnesota League of Cities also has the expertise that could benefit the City. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated the Finance Commission could do the work finding comparable policies from GARE and the Minnesota League of Cities. Dr. Edwards stated Staff can coordinate a time for the Finance Commission to return to Staff with their recommendations based on their research. 4. AUDIT COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION 4a. AUDIT COMMITTEE SUMMARY City Manager Reggie Edwards introduced the item and invited Director of Finance and Fiscal Services Angela Holm to continue the Staff presentation. 11/9/2022 Page 4 Ms. Holm explained the item was on the Consent Agenda at the previous City Council meeting, but it was pulled for further discussion. The recommendation was to go with Abdo for the audit. The established schedule for professional Auditing services authorized by Resolution No. 2017- 97 is every six years, with an established review of services due in 2020. Due to the COVID pandemic and staffing turnover, the review was not performed as scheduled and the existing audit services contract was extended for one additional year. A new contract for continued audit services now needs to be executed for the next Fiscal Year beginning in 2022. Request for Proposals (RFP) for audit services was submitted to ten local CPA firms. Staff received proposals from five of these firms. Ms. Holm stated, as further stated in Section 2.80, audit service proposals are reviewed by a committee of City Council Members and Financial Commission Members appointed by the Mayor, in consultation with the Chair of the Financial Commission, and approved by the City Council. The committee also includes the City Manager and the Finance Director. Based on expressed interest, a committee was established of the following individuals: City Manager Dr. Reggie Edwards, Finance Director Angela Holm, Councilmember Lawrence Anderson, Chair Kragness, and Commissioner Dwapu. Ms. Holm noted an initial meeting of the committee was held on October 3, 2022, to discuss the Audit RFP and the submissions received from five interested audit firms. Committee members were asked to complete the evaluations for each firm and submit them to the Finance Director for tabulation. Committee members also discussed the next steps including interviews with the top two firms. Ms. Holm stated, based on the rankings submitted by Committee members, interviews were scheduled on October 18, 2022, with representatives from Eide Bailly and Abdo. Eide Bailly was unable to attend the interviews in person, and the representatives were not the individuals who would have been conducting the audit. On the other hand, Abdo’s interview included the auditors who would handle the audit. Based on these interviews, the Finance Director recommended entering into an audit engagement with the firm of Abdo. This was presented to Council at the regular business meeting on October 24, 2022. The Council subsequently recommended further discussion by the Committee and Finance Commission. Ms. Holm pointed out there is a deadline that must be considered during the deliberations to ensure there is a completed product before June 30, 2023. She offered to answer any questions or concerns. Commissioner Dwapu asked what is the issue that needs to be resolved. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated she wanted a further discussion on the item because she was not aware of the meeting on October 18, 2022. There was a mention of meeting with the top three auditors. Then on October 24, 2022, she hadn’t heard feedback from the other members of the Audit Committee or other Finance Commissioners, so she asked for the item to be pulled from the Consent Agenda. 11/9/2022 Page 5 Chair Kragness agreed to October 18, 2022, which was shared with them as a tentative date. No one on the Audit Committee was aware of the meeting on October 18, 2022. The next meeting the Committee was aware of included the recommendation from Staff. Ms. Holm apologized for the misunderstanding. Her perspective was that the October 18, 2022 meeting was considered an invitation and open meeting. She added the interview with EideBailly got into some political concerns which reflected a preconceived notion regarding Brooklyn Center. It was important to Staff to have an auditor that was comfortable working with Brooklyn Center and the City Council. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted her respect for Ms. Holm and her expertise. Her decision to pull the item is not a reflection of that. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson explained she is completely on board with the recommendation, and she believed it was important to hear more about the interviews. Commissioner Van Der Werf asked if the previous auditor was interviewed. Ms. Holm stated the previous firm was not one of the top-scoring firms. Some Staff has expressed that they didn’t believe the previous firm was giving the best product. Also, rotating auditors is beneficial for the City. The initial contract would be for three years, then there is an option to continue with the new auditor or restart the RFP process. Chair Kragness pointed out there were some unanswered questions in the RFPs, and she was under the impression Staff would follow up with the potential firms to complete the questions from the RFP. For example, there were questions for the previous auditor that stand. Mayor Pro Tem Ryan stated he is comfortable moving forward with the recommendation from Ms. Holm. Commissioner Dwapu commented in the future he would like to see small businesses considered for these services. Ms. Holm confirmed the item would be added to the Consent Agenda for the upcoming City Council meeting. 5. 2023 BUDGET DISCUSSION City Manager Reggie Edwards noted there was a request from Council to hear more about the budget allocations by Department, in particular to the Police Department. Dr. Edwards explained the budget included a three percent adjustment to salaries to promote livable wages. Other items in the budget reflected inflation costs. There is a desire to increase the measurement of outcomes, so that was included in the budget. Dr. Edwards pointed out that when the budget was passed in 2022, it was premised on the notion of freezing three positions in the Police Department. Then a labor study would be conducted to assess the need for those positions. There was also the intention to begin a pilot for alternative 11/9/2022 Page 6 police responses. However, those projects have not been completed. The Council and Staff are just recently receiving recommendations from the Implementation Committee regarding a pilot program. Dr. Edwards stated the Council has the option to un-freeze the positions in the Police Department, but that would have to be funded and reflected in the levy. When the first budget was presented, there was $100,000 set aside to unfreeze one of the three positions. The Council discussed the budget, and there was tension. Staff then proposed $150,000 in response to the three frozen positions. The Council then was interested in unfreezing all three positions. Dr. Edwards explained if the Council chooses to unfreeze the positions, Staff has found the money to fully fund the frozen positions. He explained there are some one-time projects in 2023 that are budgeted for and could be reallocated to the Police Department in 2024. There were also some other items moved around. Dr. Edwards concluded the current budget includes a 6.9 percent levy. It is the role of the Council to choose if the positions will remain frozen or not. Mayor Pro Tem Ryan noted he favors unfreezing the positions. Councilmember Graves stated as many Councilmembers as possible need to be present for a complete discussion. She added only two positions need funding as the third is a School Resource Officer that the school doesn’t want. Instead, the money could go towards other unfunded projects related to communications or community engagement. Police Chief Kellace McDaniel explained the school position helps build community and communication. However, there are more pressing issues with a lack of detectives. There are currently 40 officers, and there is an opportunity for up to 49 officers. Brooklyn Center has the highest call volume in the State, and the Chief himself is responding to calls. More officers are needed. As for the school officer, if the school is not interested in the partnership, the Police Department has the need for that 49th officer in another capacity. Mayor Pro Tem Ryan asked when the workforce study will be completed. Chief McDaniel stated it is a matter of making sure the report is right and that the City Manager receives the information. Mayor Pro Tem Ryan added the study may reveal the need for more police officers. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked if the Fire Inspector position is included in the current proposal. Dr. Edwards stated the position was not initially included, but it was added after the Council showed interest. The current budget does include it. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson commended Councilmember Graves for her compromise solution in the previous year’s budget discussion. 2022 has had an increase in time, so the best solution is to provide the funds to the Police Department for the Chief to determine its best use. She noted she had a recent conversation with Attorney General Keith Ellison, and he expressed concern about fentanyl and guns. The money could also be used to support hiring incentives or retention incentives. 11/9/2022 Page 7 Mayor Pro Tem Ryan noted his agreement with Councilmember Lawrence Anderson. He explained he would like to see the Police Department fully funded, as that is the desire and need of the community. If the Council desires to discuss the item with other Councilmembers, Councilmember Butler will return from maternity leave in December. Mayor Pro Tem Ryan stated he would prefer to have the discussion earlier, but her voice is also important. Councilmember Graves pointed out law enforcement is not the only crime deterrent. The Chief can find a way to use the extra $100,000. However, maybe there is a better alternative such as a partnership with the school or supporting jobs and internships for the community. Chief McDaniel agreed with Councilmember Graves. For example, playing sports with youth can make a big impact. Dr. Edwards explained Council passed an Act that directed Staff to create alternative community programs. There was no funding available to do that. It then became an issue framed as alternative strategies instead of law enforcement efforts. The staff has always had the desire to do both as they complement one another. Mayor Pro Tem Ryan noted his agreement with Dr. Edwards and stated there needs to be both a short-term response to “stop the bleeding” and a long-term approach to address systemic issues. Dr. Edwards added Brooklyn Center has the highest bond rating available to the City of its size. It shows the stability and instability of Brooklyn Center. Councilmember Graves asked how closely the City has been working with alternative response options through the County. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson agreed they cannot do it on their own. Dr. Edwards stated Staff has not been included or allowed to weigh in on that option yet. They are waiting for direction from the Council to seek out such options and fully engage in alternative offerings. Instead, the Council implemented a Committee to handle the task. Staff will come together to create a response with insights and perspectives once the alternative response strategies have been presented to the Council from the Implementation Committee. Mayor Pro Tem Ryan pointed out he would not have chosen such a long process. Also, it would be beneficial to collaborate with St. Paul for alternative response strategies. Councilmember Graves added she would like recommendations from the Implementation Committee, but it is beneficial for the Council to review as many options and as much information as possible. The Council needs to know what is possible to know where the gaps are. It would be beneficial for Staff to provide a presentation on the alternatives offered by the County or other cities. Dr. Edwards explained Staff hasn’t taken that on because they have not been directed. Also, they didn’t want to be in a position to be pitted against or work against the Implementation Committee. 11/9/2022 Page 8 Chief McDaniel noted he sits on several Committees, and he could also provide insight into the offerings. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated Brooklyn Center needs to know all of the options and get everyone at the table to discuss. Mayor Pro Tem Ryan stated the Council will decide on the budget at a City Council meeting. 6.

CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council met for a Special Meeting called to order by Mayor Mike Elliott at 6:04 p.m. 2. ROLL CALL Mayor Mike Elliott and Councilmembers April Graves, Kris Lawrence-Anderson, and Dan Ryan. Councilmember Marquita Butler was absent and excused. Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, City Clerk/Interim Assistant City Manager Barb Suciu, and City Attorney Jason Hill. 3. CANVASS THE RESULTS OF THE 2022 GENERAL ELECTION City Clerk & Interim Assistant City Manager Barb Suciu stated there were 88 election judges, 6 precincts, and 4 facilities. There were 8,551 votes, 5,508 of which were cast on election day. There was a 52 percent voter turnout for Brooklyn Center and the Statewide turnout was 60.6 percent. Ms. Suciu stated in the Mayoral race, April Graves received 4,321 votes at 54 percent and Mike Elliott received 3,646 votes at 45.56 percent. As for the Council results, Teneshia Kragness received 3,982 votes, which was 32.59 percent and Dan Jerzak received 3,614 votes, which was 29.58 percent of the votes. The elect candidates will take office on January 3, 2023. Ms. Suciu stated the three Charter questions needed to be approved by 51 percent of voters. The first question passed with a percentage of 62.28 percent. The second question failed with 50.24 percent, and the third question passed with 68.38 percent. There is the potential for a publicly funded recount for question two. That process would require signatures from 25 voters. Ms. Suciu thanked Staff and election judges for their work to support the election. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked for Ms. Suciu to summarize the role of election judges. Ms. Suciu explained election judges assist in the day of the election, be it a half- or full-day. Some help with absentee voting at the healthcare facilities. Other set up equipment to alleviate the burden on Staff. Election judges need to be trained every two years and must be a registered voter in the State of Minnesota. Mayor Elliott asked when election judges need to be trained. Ms. Suciu stated election judges need to be trained every two years. 11/14/22 -2- Mayor Elliott asked what qualifications someone must have to be an election judge. Ms. Suciu stated must be a registered voter in the State of Minnesota. Mayor Elliott asked why two precincts were hosted at the same location. Ms. Suciu explained that was partly due to the redistricting process where Brooklyn Center went from seven to six districts. Also, there was a goal to stay away from schools because of congestion. It worked well for two precincts to be combined at a precinct because of parking, availability of election judges, and accessibility. Mayor Elliott asked how many districts Brooklyn Center has. Ms. Suciu stated Brooklyn Center went from seven to six districts. Mayor Elliott asked if that was based on population. Ms. Suciu stated the change was based on school districts. Each precinct had one school district whereas previously there could have been three school districts represented at one precinct. It decreased errors in voting. Mayor Elliott asked which precincts did not have a polling location within their boundaries. Ms. Suciu stated districts 4 and 5 did not have polling places within their boundaries. Mayor Elliott asked if the same was true in previous election years. Ms. Suciu stated voting was completed at the Heritage Center to decrease COVID-19 issues in schools. In 2018, voting was in schools and Spiritual Life Church. However, the City was asked not to return to Spiritual Life Church. There are not very many facilities available in precincts 4 and 5. She asked a church in precinct 4 to host a polling place, but they were already committed to being a polling place for Brooklyn Park. Mayor Elliott asked which precinct had the school in 2018. Ms. Suciu stated Garden City hosted a polling place for precinct 5 in 2018. Spiritual Life was in the fourth precinct. Mayor Elliott asked if there was feedback from voters about the combined voting locations. Ms. Suciu stated she did not receive any feedback, and she also did not receive any feedback from the primary elections which used the same locations. Councilmember Ryan thanked Staff and the volunteers for their work with the election. Councilmember Graves moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to accept the results of the 2022 General Election. Motion passed unanimously. 4. ADJOURNMENT Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded adjournment of the City Council meeting at 6:21 p.m. 11/14/22 -3- Motion passed unanimously.

Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, Finance Director Angela Holm, Director of Public Works Liz Heyman, and City Clerk/Interim Assistant City Manager Barb Suciu. CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS City Manager Reggie Edwards asked for an item to be added to the Council Consideration Items related to tree removal at 7224 Morgan Avenue North and 6900 Quail Avenue North. Dr. Edwards clarified that the item is on the agenda, but the resolution was not included in the packet. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted the Consent Agenda is very long. One was to authorize the execution of professional service agreements. She explained she doesn’t have a conflict of interest with any firms, but she has had a personal experience with ash tree issues in Lakeville at her mother’s residence. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated she would like to provide a recommendation for Staff consideration. Councilmember Ryan asked if the City engages any public relations firms currently, about Consent Agenda Item 6h. Resolution Authorizing Execution of Professional Service Agreements with Qualifying Consulting Firms. Dr. Edwards noted the item refers to Public Works Department contracts. Mayor Elliott asked for Dr. Edwards to explain the process involved in Consent Agenda Item 6h. Resolution Authorizing Execution of Professional Service Agreements with Qualifying Consulting Firms. Dr. Edwards invited Director of Public Works Elizabeth Heyman to provide more information on the item. Ms. Heyman explained that consulting services for architectural, engineering, scientific, or other professional training are typically obtained on an individual project basis as needed by obtaining 11/14/22 -2- bids from several consultants. To streamline the process and to assist Public Works Staff in obtaining consulting services a pre-approved consulting pool is being provided for consideration. This consultant pool would exist for three years and would be drawn upon on a project-by-project basis to enter into professional services agreements for the needed services. The pool would not preclude Staff from contracting with other firms. Mayor Elliott asked how equity was considered in the process. Ms. Heyman stated six of the firms are certified as Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE). Staff will continue to expand the pool as new and equitable opportunities arise. Mayor Elliott asked where Staff is at with drafting a formal policy. Dr. Edwards stated the process is being led by the Finance Director, and the draft is underway. Ms. Heyman added the firms on the list are for engineering and design rather than labor services, to Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson’s point. Finance Director Angela Holm noted Staff has been working with Paddio since May 2022 on the purchasing policy. The first few months were dedicated to fact-finding. Most recently, Paddio has been hosting focus groups to deal directly with business owners of all sizes in Brooklyn Center. Paddio has had challenges getting participants for the groups. Ms. Holm added the initial response from Paddio was that a draft policy would be available to Brooklyn Center by May of 2023. Staff meets with them every two weeks or so to receive updates. Councilmember Graves asked how long it takes for folks to be paid after they completed the contract. She asked if businesses have to have the money upfront to do the contracted work and then are reimbursed by the City. Ms. Holm stated the City has 35 days to make payment after the goods or services are received. It can be a barrier for small businesses, and Staff is not doing anything to remedy that concern. MISCELLANEOUS GROUP HOMES IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS Councilmember Ryan noted there is an increasing number of group homes in residential areas of Brooklyn Center. Group homes can be a source of nuisances and friction in neighborhoods. They also may receive more calls for service and require more time from law enforcement than other homes. He encouraged the 2023 Council to ask Staff to look into the concern and provide information and potential options. Mayor Elliott asked what Councilmember Ryan meant by “nuisances.” Councilmember Ryan stated there are several concerns such as a lack of proper garbage receptacles and availability of on-street parking. Most of the group homes are operating out of single-family homes. There are several responsible group home operators, but there are also cases with problems that the City 11/14/22 -3- needs to address. Mayor Elliott stated the Implementation Committee has been sorting through calls for service and determining response alternatives to law enforcement. He agreed group homes have a higher number of calls for service than a single-family homes. EARLY START FOR THE NOVEMBER 28 WORK SESSION City Manager Reggie Edwards explained the Opportunity Site has some renderings. There is not currently a Public Arts Commission, so Staff was asking if Council could come in early to receive presentations on public art options. Mayor Elliott asked if that would work for everyone on the Council. No one disagreed. Mayor Elliott asked the City Clerk to ensure an invitation goes out to Council. ADJOURN STUDY SESSION TO INFORMAL OPEN FORUM WITH CITY COUNCIL Councilmember Graves moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the Study Session at 6:46 p.m. Motion passed unanimously.

City Clerk Mayor 11/14/22 -1- DRAFT MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA REGULAR SESSION NOVEMBER 14, 2022 CITY HALL – COUNCIL CHAMBERS 1. INFORMAL OPEN FORUM WITH THE CITY COUNCIL CALL TO ORDER INFORMAL OPEN FORUM The Brooklyn Center City Council met in an Informal Open Forum called to order by Mayor Mike Elliott at 6:47 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor Mike Elliott and Councilmembers April Graves, Kris Lawrence-Anderson, and Dan Ryan. Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, Finance Director Angela Holm, Assistant City Planner Olivia Boerschinger, Communication Coordinator Angel Smith, Clerk Barb Suciu, and City Attorney Jason Hill. Councilmember Marquita Butler was absent and excused. Mayor Mike Elliott opened the meeting with an Informal Open Forum. Roger C. stated the 2023 budget is $1.4 million more than it was in 2022. $389,000 is allotted for City vehicle replacement. All of the equipment he sees that is owned by the City looks to be in excellent condition, and $389,000 is excessive. He suggested a committee of citizens is established and scrutinize it before being voted on by the Council. Roger C. commented, regarding the Woodbine Street project, there was an article in the Star Tribune regarding similar projects. He provided copies of the article for members of the Council. The article questions if the assessment method for projects is legal. Some cities have been sued for their assessment practices. The article also details other methods of payment available to local governments. Alfreda D. stated she is disappointed to hear a Councilmember refer to community members with disabilities as a nuisance. She added she would like there to be a policy establishing guidelines for Councilmembers interacting with the public. Brooklyn Park recently enacted a similar policy. Alfreda D. offered to assist in drafting a policy. Mayor Elliott asked if Alfreda D. had ideas for the policy. Alfreda D. stated she would be happy to dedicate time to creating a policy as it isn’t a priority for the Council. It would be more than a conduct policy but also a policy with accountability measures. 11/14/22 -2- Councilmember Graves read a quote from an article regarding the Brooklyn Park Council conduct policy. She noted Brooklyn Center does have a Council conduct policy with some accountability measures included in the agenda. She stated she would be willing to discuss the topic further and review Brooklyn Park’s policy and its most recent changes. Councilmember Graves added she would also like to see more respectful discussions and interactions in the future. Alfreda D. stated she has been asking for the policy for over two years. She stated the Council needs to acknowledge the power they hold and how they act disrespectfully toward members of the community. There may be a code of conduct for the Council, but it doesn’t include any consequences. Alfreda D. pointed out she has had negative interactions with multiple Councilmembers, the City Attorney, and the former Police Chief. The comments made by Councilmember Graves are triggering and inconsiderate. There needs to be accountability. Councilmember Graves addressed the Mayor and stated she didn’t believe the Council allowed personal attacks during the Informal Open Forum. Alfreda D. stated they don’t allow for dialogue either. Mayor Elliott stated it was time to move on. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to close the Informal Open Forum at 7:00 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. Julie B. stated she has been unable to speak at the previous two meetings although her hand was raised. Mayor Elliott stated the Informal Open Forum is now closed and apologized for missing her hand. 2. INVOCATION Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted Thanksgiving is coming up. She shared a quote, “Thanksgiving is an emotional holiday. People travel thousands of miles to see family members once a year, only to find once a year is too often.” As they enter the holiday shopping season, she encouraged community members to be kind to and patient with the service providers and those around them. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson shared another quote, “Make it a habit to tell people to thank you, to express your appreciation sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you will soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you will find that you have more of it.” 3. CALL TO ORDER REGULAR BUSINESS MEETING 11/14/22 -3- The Brooklyn Center City Council met in a Regular Session called to order by Mayor Mike Elliott at 7:04 p.m. 4.

FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT JUDGE BARNETTE Fourth Judicial District Judge Barnette introduced himself and noted he is Chief Judge in Hennepin County. He noted the pandemic has pushed the County to provide remote hearing services, and their staff has done a great job setting up Zoom to allow for the hearings. There are over 500 employees, 11/14/22 -7- and there are 63 judges and 12 or 14 referees. Similar to private businesses, Hennepin County has also experienced a lot of turnovers. Chief Judge Barnette explained there are five different divisions within the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office. There are 10 judicial districts in the State, and Hennepin is the largest. Hennepin County handles anywhere from 25 percent to 33 percent of the cases in the entire State. Chief Judge added many members of Brooklyn Center have been called to jury duty, even throughout the pandemic, to keep the court system going. Chief Judge Barnette pointed out there is a backlog in the handling of housing and eviction cases due to the eviction moratorium. The courts are also behind on criminal proceedings due to the pandemic, but they are close to catching up. Chief Judge Barnette thanked the Council for the time to present and offered to answer any questions. Mayor Elliott thanked Chief Judge Barnette for the information. Mayor Elliott asked how far behind the courts are. Chief Judge Barnette stated the housing court is about three or four months behind schedule. He stated he hired another referee to help with the housing backlog. The number of hearings has increased and decreased the backlog. In January, there will be more in-person hearings; it takes more Staff power to host a remote hearing than an in-person hearing. Therefore, the backlog will decrease further at that time. Mayor Elliott noted several tenants in Brooklyn Center have reported their rent money was stolen and received eviction notices. He asked if the court handles multiple cases together for such a scenario. Chief Judge Barnette stated some similar cases have been taken, for example, the protesters on Highway 94. Parties can ask for their cases to be assigned to one judge or hearing, but he has not received that request for eviction issues in Brooklyn Center. Mayor Elliott noted the issue involves senior citizens. Mayor Elliott stated if someone misses a court date, a bench warrant is issued. He asked how the court is handling bench warrants and if they are allowing for discretion by the local law enforcement. Chief Judge Barnette explained during the peak of the pandemic, there was a collaboration amongst justice partners to ensure the jail wasn’t crowded to avoid COVID spreading. The change also eliminated transfers for minor offenses. In the last three years, there has always been a warrant helpline. The staff has certain authority to handle certain warrants and reset court dates. Chief Judge Barnette added if someone was summonsed for a misdemeanor, besides domestic assaults and DWIs, the court allows a sign and release. That allows for the court date to be set and communicated rather than for someone to be taken into custody or transported. There is a similar process called to book and release for people in custody. Mayor Elliott asked if there is a discussion around a public program for civil cases and legal representation. Chief Judge Barnette pointed out there are some organizations that provide legal representation such as the Volunteer Lawyer Network and Legal Aid. As for housing, Hennepin 11/14/22 -8- County provides Adult Representation Services (ARS) where lawyers are provided for the proceedings. The ARS programming has been going on for a year, and there is talk of expansion. Councilmember Graves asked for more information on the specialized treatment courts. Chief Judge Barnette stated treatment courts include criminal mental health court, drug court, DWI court, and veteran’s court. They are recognized Statewide. There are also restorative court options for misdemeanors and felonies. A person is referred to a specialized treatment court and then assessed by triage staff to determine which court would be the most beneficial for them. Chief Judge Barnette noted the specialized treatment courts have more intensive probation and require more in-person court appearances. Most participants are folks who are not first-time offenders. Therefore, the program is an alternative to a serious length of prison or workhouse sentencing. Chief Judge Barnette stated there is a social worker who attends the misdemeanor restorative court to connect participants with services. Felony restorative court is an alternative to a diversion program and that allows for expungement. The participants are primarily experiencing mental health or addiction issues. He added all alternative courts are optional. Councilmember Graves asked who is on the triage team. Chief Judge Barnette stated there are two judges, probation officers, a prosecutor, a defense attorney, treatment providers, and potentially other community members. Mayor Elliott noted he was part of a committee commissioned by the Minnesota Supreme Court considering alternative justice avenues. Minnesota has a variety of cultures that utilize culturally- specific justice methods. He asked if the court is trying to find ways to incorporate alternative justice practices. Chief Judge Barnette stated there is a group of judges and community members working to incorporate alternative justice practices. One effort is to streamline expungement for juveniles as it has been a difficult process for juveniles to navigate, which was a recommendation from that group. It isn’t necessarily an alternative justice practice, but the group is trying to be more responsive to the needs of the public. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson thanked Chief Judge Barnette for sharing information with the Council. Councilmember Graves moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to accept the presentation. Motion passed unanimously. 7b. RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS PROCLAMATION Mayor Elliott read in full a Proclamation declaring November 17, 2022, as Random Acts of Kindness Day. 11/14/22 -9- Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to adopt the Proclamation for Random Acts of Kindness and declare November 17, 2022, as Random Acts of Kindness Day. Motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Graves asked about the process for Random Acts of Kindness. Dr. Edwards stated there will be a celebration honoring recipients of Random Acts of Kindness at the Heritage Center soon on November 17. Dr. Edwards asked for the names of the nominees to be read. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted the Council has received the nominations in advance to review to learn more about the nominees. She asked for Staff to provide a copy of the nominations. Councilmember Graves stated Dr. Angel Smith may want to say something. Communications and Community Engagement Manager Dr. Angel Smith explained there was a change to provide more attention for the nominees and more time to acknowledge their efforts. Therefore, there is a celebration separate from the City Council meeting. The Council took turns reading the names of the following nominees: Julie Bourque Matt Branch Brooklyn Center Lions Club Paula Brown Melissa Carey Brooklyn Center Lady Lions Jan Cedarholm Victoria & Hassan Christian Tom Dahlstrom & Bobbi Hanson Alfreda Daniels Lisa Ellis Mayra & Jonathan Deras Free Bikes for Kidz Grace Green Tom Green James “Jimmy: Johnson Marsha Jones Jamar Hester, BC Cub Manager Chris Mahigan Matt Malwitz Nancy Mikulak Mpls Elk Lodge #44 Diane Sannes Diane & Darryl Sannes Carol Shetka Shoe Away Hunger John Solomon Andrew Splinter Richard Sund Cha Lee Yang 8. PUBLIC HEARINGS 8a. AN ORDINANCE NO. 2022-07; AMENDING THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL SALARIES FOR 2023 AND 2024 (SECOND READING) City Manager Reggie Edwards introduced the item and invited Finance Director Angela Holm to make the staff presentation. City Attorney Jason Hill recommended tabling the item. Per the Charter and Minnesota Statutes, changes in salaries cannot be implemented until after the next election, which is scheduled for 2024. The Council still needs to adopt an Ordinance for the 2023 salaries and can amend the proposed item or pass an entirely different Ordinance. 11/14/22 -10- Mayor Elliott stated the item should be passed to allow for a salary in 2023. After the meeting, there can be a conversation about an increase in salaries. Mayor Elliott moved to Approve Second Reading and Adopt an Ordinance Approving the Salaries for the Mayor and Council for 2023 and 2024. Motion failed for lack of a second. Mr. Hill stated there still needs to be a public hearing unless they choose to continue the public hearing. From there, the motion would be to adopt the Ordinance with an amendment. Councilmember Graves asked how the item ended up on the agenda if it isn’t supposed to be handled until 2024. The changes are not very significant anyways. She asked what the options are. Mr. Hill recommended the Council amend the proposed Ordinance with an amendment reflecting the previous salaries and reassess the increase in 2024 before the election. Councilmember Graves asked if there is an issue because the hearing wasn’t held before the election. Mr. Hill confirmed the item has to be handled before an election per Charter and Minnesota Statutes. Dr. Edwards apologized for the error in bringing it to the Council. He explained Staff was under the impression that because the process started before the election, it could be passed. Mr. Hill stated the item has to be fully adopted before the election to be in line with the Charter and State Statutes. Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to open the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Laurie M. asked if this was brought to the Council previously but was delayed due to Councilmembers or the Mayor being absent. Dr. Edwards stated that wasn’t the case. Laurie M. stated it was a faux pas then. Mayor Elliott asked what a faux pas is. Laurie M. asked if the Mayor didn’t know what a faux pas is. Mayor Elliott confirmed he doesn’t know what a faux pas is. Laurie M.asked Dr. Edwards if this was an oversight by Staff. Mayor Elliott stated Laurie M. needed to address him rather than Staff. Laurie M.stated she didn’t as she was asking Dr. Edwards. Mayor Elliott stated Laurie M.needed to address him directly as it is in their rules. Laurie M. stated she doesn’t need to address the Mayor. Laurie M.asked Dr. Edwards if this was an oversight by Staff. Dr. Edwards stated Staff followed the process completed in previous years without knowing previous practices were not appropriate. Laurie M.stated it is unfortunate that the 2023 Council and Mayor should have been able to reap the benefits of an increase. 11/14/22 -11- Councilmember Graves moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to approve Second Reading and adopt ORDINANCE NO. 2022-07; Maintaining the Current Salaries for the Mayor and Council for 2023 and 2024. Motion passed unanimously. 8b. AN ORDINANCE NO. 2022-08; ADOPTING A UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE AND AMENDING THE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES BY REPEALING CHAPTERS 15 AND 34 AND REPEALING AND REPLACING CHAPTER 35 (PUBLIC HEARING AND FIRST READING) City Manager Reggie Edwards introduced the item and invited Assistant City Planner Olivia Boerschinger to make the staff presentation. Assistant City Planner Olivia Boerschinger explained in 2019, the City adopted the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and embarked on a major overhaul of the City’s current zoning (Chapter 35), sign (Chapter 34), and platting (Chapter 15) codes with consultant Bolton & Menk. City Staff have worked with Bolton & Menk to merge the three chapters into one, unified document (Unified Development Ordinance). Mike Thompson, Bolton & Menk Senior Urban Planner, thanked the Council for their time. As part of adoption of a new UDO, many properties within the City will be rezoned to align with the new regulations and new zoning districts. In addition, some existing zoning districts will be updated with new, more modern, regulations. The UDO hasn’t had a major update since the 1960s. The intent of the updated UDO therefore is to be a robust living, breathing document that modernizes City land use policies, and can be further revised and evolve over time. Mr. Thompson noted the code is being updated to align the code with the city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan, bring the City zoning code into compliance with state law, reorganize the code so it is clearer and easier to use, modernize regulations to ensure they meet community needs and promote equity, and improve customer service and regional competitiveness. The overall goal is to create a strong Zoning Code for city adoption, with the understanding it is to be a living document to be revised over time. Mr. Thompson explained zoning and land use policies have historically contributed to systemic racism, and the legal separation of people and uses. Redlining, restrictive covenants, large lot sizes, and segregating land uses are all policy examples of how this has manifested. Brooklyn Center’s history is not as explicit in this regard, but its traditionally auto-oriented design patterns has created issues of job access and transportation equity. 11/14/22 -12- Mr. Thompson stated he Zoning Code is addressing steps outlined by the 2040 Comprehensive Plan including mixed-use districts, neighborhood commercial nodes, organize around transit, zoning flexibility in exchange for identified goals of sustainability, housing affordability, and affordable commercial spaces, multi-generational housing needs, home-based businesses, and supporting more housing options and more affordable home ownership, through strategies like ADU’s, Duplex’s, and mixed-use zoning. Mr. Thompson pointed out there has been a lot of community engagement efforts including info sheets, full drafts sections online, a taskforce, recorded webinars, online open houses, surveys, an interactive map, and online resources. Mr. Thompson showed a sign with a list of current districts in comparison to the proposed districts with corresponding colors. Mr. Thompson added the key updates include accessory dwelling units, single family home site standards, home occupations, clarified approval processes, land use definitions, and mixed-use and transit-oriented development districts. Ms. Boerschinger stated the UDO makes a number of changes that modernize the language and ensure that processes remain in compliance with State law. The process for review and adoption of planned unit developments (PUDs) has been amended to be processed as a conditional use permit (CUP) as opposed to a re-zoning of the particular parcel or parcels. Processing as a CUP eliminates the need for a re-zoning and an ordinance amending the Zoning Map, eliminates the City’s need to conduct a 1st and 2nd reading of an Ordinance, and other PUD requirements remain relatively unchanged. Ms. Boerschinger added the update and amendment of the Zoning Map and Code bring both into compliance with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, including the identification of permitted uses in various zoning districts, and will create non-confirming uses and structures in various locations. Very generally, non-conforming uses and structures are allowed to continue, but they cannot expand or intensify the use. The intention is that non-conforming uses will be brought into compliance over time. Ms. Boerschinger explained Staff mailed a postcard to every house that would be impacted by the Zoning Code change with a link to the interactive map on the website. Remote owners were also notified of the impact. Mr. Thompson showed the interactive map and how to use it. A public hearing notice was published in the Brooklyn Center Sun Post on November 3, 2022. Mayor Elliott asked if the change adversely impacts any current structures. Mr. Thompson confirmed any structures that are currently legal will remain legal but cannot expand or intensify. Mayor Elliott asked if the Mosque would experience any rezoning. Mr. Thompson stated that parcel’s uses were not impacted. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked if Chapters 15 and 34 are being repealed and is now being called Chapter 35. Ms. Boerschinger confirmed Chapters 15 and 34 would be repealed. Then Chapter 35 would be replaced with the proposed text. It will be called the Unified Development Ordinance. 11/14/22 -13- Councilmember Ryan asked what engagement was done with businesses and stakeholders. Mr. Thompson confirmed there was community engagement, but that occurred before his time with Bolton & Menk. He pointed out there was feedback gathered, but he would have to look up the specifics. Councilmember Ryan asked for the information to be provided before the second reading. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted she has spoken to community members about the revisions. She asked for another copy of the presentation be sent out to the Council as the link isn’t working. Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to open the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Mohamed D. stated some business owners are concerned about which locations were chosen to be rezoned. He asked if the adoption of the new Code would place existing structures out of compliance if there are relevant changes. Mr. Hill stated any structures that are currently legal will remain legal but cannot expand or intensify. Mayor Elliott stated the commenter is specifically asking about the Mosque. He asked if the property was rezoned. Mr. Hill there was a previous Code amendment to allow religious uses in the Mosque’s district, and there is a special use permit for the property. Ultimately, there aren’t any changes in the proposed draft that impact the Mosque’s parcel. Matt D. stated he is with Pop Car Wash and has questions about the new sign regulations. Multiple customers reach out to him due to weather or issues with the Car Wash. The City should allow digital message centers for businesses to better communicate with the public. Douglas B. noted he is encouraged with the progressiveness in the ordinances, and he looks forward to continue working with the City. Councilmember Graves moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Graves moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to approve a First Reading of an Ordinance No. 2022-08; regarding the adoption of the Unified Development Code and an amendment of the City Code of Ordinances by repealing Chapters 15 and 34 and repealing and replacing Chapter 35, and set the Second Reading for December 12, 2022. Motion passed unanimously. 9. PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS None. 11/14/22 -14- 10. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS 10a. RESOLUTION 2022-127; AWARDING THE SALE OF $4,670,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION IMPROVEMENT AND UTILITY REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 2022A FIXING THEIR FORM AND SPECIFICATIONS; DIRECTING THEIR EXECUTION AND DELIVERY; AND PROVIDING FOR THEIR PAYMENT Dr. Edwards introduced the item and invited Ms. Holm to make the Staff presentation. Finance Director Angela Holm stated on October 10, 2022 the City Council adopted a resolution setting the date for the competitive negotiated sale of $4,670,000 General Obligation Improvement and Utility Revenue Bonds. The bond proceeds will be used to finance the construction of Woodbine Area Improvements including street reconstruction and utility infrastructure improvements. She introduced Doug Green of Baker Tilly to continue the presentation. Doug Green, a director at Baker Tilly, stated the sale was very successful. The previous years have been a tough environment. He showed a slide depicting the interest rate environment in Brooklyn Center. The yields from November 2021 to present have more than doubled. Mr. Green stated there were six bidders, and they will award bonds based on the lowest True Interest Cost (TIC), which was Robert W. Baird of 3.38 percent. Likely buyers are Minnesota-based separately managed accounts (SMA) and mutual funds. Mr. Green showed a table with details on the past sales. The amount has been between four and eight million dollars. He showed a table with post-sale pricing summary. The offered par amount for the bond sale pricing was $4,670,000. Bidding parameters allow flexibility that meets City and bondholder needs. Premium pricing reduces par amount in exchange for higher coupons. The new par amount is $4,335,000. Mr. Green showed a table of repayment by source of revenue. Different portions would be repaid by property tax levy, assessments, and the three utility funds. He noted Brooklyn Center retained an AA with a stable outlook. The negative outlook was removed. Minnesota cities tend to have high debt levels, but Brooklyn Center has a manageable debt level. Debt service as a percent of governmental fund expenditures is 13 percent. Mayor Elliott stated Brooklyn Center cannot get an AAA rating because of its size. Mr. Green stated it is a number of factors such as size and wealth of a city. Councilmember Ryan asked if the resolution was passed, the City would quote the new par amount. Mr. Green stated that would work, but they don’t have to be that specific. Councilmember Ryan moved and Mayor Elliott seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2022-127; Awarding the Sale of General Obligation and Utility Revenue Bonds, Series 2022A fixing their form and specifications; directing their execution and deliver; and providing for their payment. 11/14/22 -15- Motion passed unanimously. 11. COUNCIL REPORT None. 12. ADJOURNMENT Mayor Elliott moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded adjournment of the City Council meeting at 8:36 p.m. Dr. Edwards asked to speak. Mayor Elliott stated he was entertaining a motion to adjourn. Councilmember Graves asked if she could share a Council report. Mayor Elliott stated they could share reports at the next meeting. Mayor Elliott asked Staff to include Council Report on the agenda. Motion passed unanimously. Mayor Elliott asked if there was anymore business before the Council. Ms. Suciu stated they were adjourned. STATE OF MINNESOTA) COUNTY OF HENNEPIN) ss.

CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council/Financial Commission Joint Work Session was called to order by Mayor Elliott at 6:10 p.m. 2. ROLL CALL Mayor Mike Elliott and Councilmembers April Graves and Dan Ryan were present. Councilmember Marquita Butler was absent and excused. Also present was Financial Commission Chair Taneshia Kragness. Commissioner Dean Van Der Werf was absent and excused. Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, City Clerk/Interim Assistant City Manager Barb Suciu, Director of Finance and Fiscal Services Angela Holm, Director of Public Works Elizabeth Heyman, and Deputy Director of Public Works Mike Marsh. 3. APPROVAL OF AGENDA There was a motion by Mayor Elliott and seconded by Councilmember Ryan to approve the agenda. Motion passed unanimously. 4. DISCUSSION ITEMS 4a. CENTRAL GARAGE City Manager Reggie Edwards introduced the item and invited Director of Public Works Elizabeth Heyman and Director of Finance Angela Holm to continue the presentation. Mayor Elliott noted he has to leave at a certain time, and Councilmember Ryan will take over at that time. Finance Director Angela Holm explained the Central Garage allows for more efficient management of the City vehicles. The Public Works Department has the goal to responsibly provide for the maintenance and operations of the City’s infrastructure and facilities in a quality, cost-effective matter. 11/21/2022 Page 2 Director of Public Works Elizabeth Heyman summarized the Staffing level of the Public Works Department. The fleet is maintained based on a set of policies. Ms. Holm added Public Works operates by planning to save up and better afford large equipment repairs or replacement. An inflation factor was also added more recently to take future inflation into account. There should have been a seven percent inflation increase in the fund, but three percent was the compromised number. Ms. Holm showed a slide depicting the cash flow of the Central Garage including the capital outlay, actual cash balance, and targeted cash balance. At any given time, there is a reserve to handle three months of operations. She added she is not concerned that the actual cash balance is not at the level of the targeted cash balance as it is very rare for Public Works to face a financial emergency. Mayor Elliott noted it would be interesting to see the average distance between the targeted cash balance and the capital outlay. Ms. Holm explained that is part of the evaluation process. Councilmember Graves asked what items were purchased in 2023 and where the information is in the line-item budget. She pointed out there are no items listed for 2023. Ms. Holm stated the headings are not updated, but the numbers are correct. The equipment purchases are under the total capital outlay for vehicles. Ms. Heyman added they try to stretch equipment as long as possible, so not all of the 2023 items may not be purchased. For example, there is one mower that needs to be replaced, but they may be able to stretch another mower. Councilmember Graves asked how many items are expected to be purchased in 2025, as that has a high capital outlay in the graph. Deputy Director of Public Works Mike Marsh stated there are trucks to retire in 2024 and 2025, which are very expensive. The Central Garage has about 144 pieces of equipment with a standard replacement schedule based on industry standards. When looking to replace something, Staff considers the cost of the replacement, the amount the item would resell for, and the status of the current equipment. Financial Commission Chair Taneshia Kragness asked if the spending slated for 2025 can be spread out between 2024 and 2026. Mr. Marsh stated Staff plans to assess the equipment and strategize how to spread out the spending more evenly. They hope to move around some of the smaller purchases, but it is difficult when replacing larger items such as a fire truck. Plus, the replacement costs go up significantly each year, and it is hard to catch up. Mayor Elliott asked if the cash balance is bearing interest. Ms. Holm stated a fair amount of the reserve cash in investments such as CDs and municipal bonds. Bonds are yielding between three and 3.5 percent whiles CDs are yielding 1.5 to two percent. Mayor Elliott asked if the interest and the three percent inflation adjustment bring the expenses in line with inflation. Ms. Holm stated it gets them closer to inflated prices. 11/21/2022 Page 3 4b. UTILITIES Ms. Holm stated Brooklyn Center provides water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, street light utility, and recycling utilities. The income from fees needs to cover expenses such as operational funds and maintenance. Brooklyn Center occasionally seeks out bonding to support the funds, and the fees still need to be set. Ms. Heyman noted the water utility includes 1.3 billion gallons each year supplied to customers from wells, water towers, and the water treatment plant. She showed a slide depicting Staffing levels for public utilities. There are approximately 13 total positions between part-time and full- time employees. Staff recommends adding more part-time positions to address new initiatives. Ms. Heyman explained the first goal is to meet or exceed safe drinking water standards of the State of Minnesota and manage stormwater runoff in an efficient and environmentally sensitive manner. Another goal is to initiate improved, streamlined management strategies and techniques through the use of refined methods and technologies. Ms. Heyman showed a slide with a table depicting utility performance measures. The goal was to do more than 990 miles of street sweeping, and Brooklyn Center completed almost 1500 miles of street sweeping. The goal is to televise, clean, root-saw, line, and replace piping one-fifth of the total piping each year, but they recently surpassed that number with 26 miles. Mr. Marsh noted the goal is one-fifth because of insurance purposes. There are 97.9 total miles of pipe in Brooklyn Center, and they have to be serviced every five years. Ms. Heyman pointed out there was one private sanitary sewer backup due to City system blockage. All drinking water requirements were met. Ms. Heyman stated key initiatives for the coming year include rain garden landscaping and maintenance, stocking light poles, lead and copper data collection, continuing lift station rehabilitations, 1-94 & Dupont 24" steel water main replacement, water treatment plant redundant water main connection, and Freeway and Highway utility crossing replacements. Ms. Heyman stated Brooklyn Center currently doesn’t have any backup light poles, and they take months to replace. Therefore, they are hoping to stock backups. The City has to send out notices if there is any lead in the water, so the City recommends two part-time positions to address any lead concerns. Councilmember Ryan asked if the lead and copper data collection is due to an unfunded federal mandate. Ms. Heyman confirmed the lead and copper data collection is due to an unfunded federal mandate. However, there is support at the State level. Councilmember Ryan noted most of Brooklyn Center was built in the 1960s. He asked how the rust would impact the data collection. Mr. Marsh stated the lining prevents issues with rust. 11/21/2022 Page 4 Councilmember Ryan asked when the 20-year loan on the water treatment plant would be paid off. Ms. Holm stated it is scheduled to be paid off in 2034. Councilmember Ryan pointed out that will relieve a lot of debt service. Ms. Holm stated there is around $1 million in principal paid by Brooklyn Center each year. Dr. Edwards noted the City has saved money through the loan process rather than contracting services from Minneapolis. Mayor Elliott stated the City has taken on the replacement of street lights with LED lights. Ms. Heyman stated the plan is for a policy review regarding street lights in 2023. Mayor Elliott asked if there is a policy about sources of energy for the fleet. Ms. Heyman stated as a vehicle comes up for replacement, they will continue to discuss alternative energy sources and determine the long-term impact of switching energy sources. Mr. Marsh stated there was a recent purchase of three hybrid cars with the plan to purchase four more. However, there were significant issues with the first three cars. They were constantly at the shop. Some of the vehicles were traded in. Mayor Elliott asked if fully electric cars are being considered. Mr. Marsh stated electric vehicles, especially for City Staff vehicles, are being discussed. There are grant and bonding opportunities available for electric vehicles. There is a hope that electric vehicles would be more reliable than hybrids. Councilmember Ryan asked which type of hybrid cars were used. Mr. Marsh stated it was a Ford hybrid. The gas usage decreased from about 10 gallons of gas needed per shift to three gallons. Councilmember Ryan noted the batteries for electric cars are much more expensive than gas cars. Mr. Marsh stated the cars they ordered included a 100,000-mile battery warranty. The squad cars are rarely used up to 100,000 miles, so there weren’t battery concerns. Ms. Holm stated the assumptions for cash flow and rate projections include capital outlay based on a 15-year CIP. Anticipated debt issues include water GO revenue bonds in 2024, 2025, and 2028, sanitary sewer GO revenue bonds in 2024, 2025, 2028, and 2030, and storm sewer GO revenue bonds in 2029 and 2030. Assumptions also include a three percent annual increase in personal services and a two percent annual increase in operating expenses. Ms. Holm noted Staff gets the most questions about water, in terms of utilities. She showed a slide with a table depicting the water utility rate and cash from 2021 and the projected amounts for 2022-2026. Ms. Holm then showed a chart with the water utility cash flow with the capital outlay, ending cash balance, and the minimum targeted balance. She pointed out the ending cash balance is lower than the targeted rate for several years. That may require a rate increase for residents. Staff would prefer to make minor increases than larger increases down the line. The ending cash balance will increase significantly in 2034 when they are done with the debt service. 11/21/2022 Page 5 Chair Kragness asked what the forecast is for the capital improvements. Ms. Heyman stated they do projections every year. Councilmember Graves asked what is coming up in 2024. Ms. Heyman stated the largest outlay is a large neighborhood improvement, and they are considering converting it into a two-year project. Councilmember Ryan noted some of the water lines in the City are very old. Mr. Marsh stated the water lines have been skipped in the past to focus on streets. The water mains will be addressed in the coming years. Ms. Holm showed a chart comparing the water utility rate for Brooklyn Center, White Bear Lake, Fridley, Shoreview, Richfield, Roseville, Maplewood, Golden Valley, Crystal, and New Hope. Brooklyn Center’s 2022 rate and 2023 rate are both on the lower end for the comparison cities. She noted the projections are for the cost of 18,000 gallons of water per quarter. The proposed increase would be $6. Dr. Edwards pointed out that the yellow bar is the increase for Brooklyn Center in 2023, but the rates for other cities are from 2022. Likely, the comparison cities will also increase in 2023, which would make Brooklyn Center even lower in comparison. Mr. Marsh noted the three most expensive cities are Golden Valley, Crystal, and New Hope, all of which contract with Minneapolis for water. Mayor Elliott added those cities claim to have better water quality. Mayor Elliott asked if there is anything the City can do to address the hardness of the water. Mr. Marsh stated there isn’t anything the City can do at the water treatment plant to decrease water hardness. Mayor Elliott asked what the cost would be for the City to address hardness in comparison to an individual resident to install something to improve the water. Mr. Marsh stated he doesn’t have the information in front of him. Mayor Elliott stated people pay $600-900 per month to soften their water. Dr. Edwards added it is important to consider only some households soften their water, which is something to consider when comparing costs. Mayor Elliott noted there is likely a portion of the residents who would like to soften their water but cannot afford to on their own. Councilmember Ryan pointed out the hardness of the water has decreased. Mr. Marsh stated the hardness hasn’t decreased very much because the calcium levels are the same. Councilmember Graves commented she doesn’t like how softened water feels. She asked if the complaints about the chlorine smell have decreased. Mr. Marsh stated he hasn’t heard complaints recently, but the water itself hasn’t changed. He hasn’t experienced the smell himself. There was an extensive water study completed when the treatment plant opened, and there weren’t any issues 11/21/2022 Page 6 with water quality. Dr. Edwards agreed there haven’t been complaints of chlorine lately, but the Staff is still aware of the concern. Ms. Holm showed a slide with a table for the sanitary sewer utility rate and cash flow from 2021 and the projected amounts for 2022-2026. She explained the fund is quite liquid and has healthy reserves. Ms. Holm then showed a chart with the sanitary sewer utility cash flow with the capital outlay, ending cash balance, and the minimum targeted balance. Ms. Holm showed a sanitary sewer utility rate comparison to several cities, and Brooklyn Center was on the mid-to low-end of the chart. The comparison cities included Roseville, Golden Valley, Maplewood, Shoreview, White Bear Lake, Richfield, Crystal, Fridley, and New Hope. She pointed out that the rates on the chart are from 2022 with the yellow bar depicting the 2023 Brooklyn Center rate. Ms. Holm showed a slide with a table for the stormwater utility rate and cash flow from 2021 and the projected amounts for 2022-2026. She explained the fund is also solid and stable, but some capital outlay projects need to be dealt with in the coming years. Ms. Holm then showed a chart with the stormwater utility cash flow with the capital outlay, ending cash balance, and the minimum targeted balance. Ms. Holm showed a storm sewer utility rate comparison to several cities, and Brooklyn Center was on the mid-to low-end of the chart. The comparison cities included Roseville, Golden Valley, Maplewood, Shoreview, White Bear Lake, Richfield, Crystal, Fridley, and New Hope. She pointed out that the rates on the chart are from 2022 with the yellow bar depicting the 2023 Brooklyn Center rate. Ms. Holm showed a table with the combined water, sewer, and storm utility bill would be in comparison to other cities. The comparison cities included Roseville, Golden Valley, Maplewood, Shoreview, White Bear Lake, Richfield, Crystal, Fridley, and New Hope. In 2022, Brooklyn Center was the second lowest rate. She then showed a visual graph of the same information and noted other cities will see an increase in 2023 that is not reflected in the current data. Ms. Holm showed a slide with a table for the street light utility rate and cash flow from 2021 and the projected amounts for 2022-2026. There is a low margin in 2026, and it needs to be handled appropriately in the coming years. Ms. Holm then showed a chart with the stormwater utility cash flow with the capital outlay, ending cash balance, and the minimum targeted balance. Staff hopes to increase the cash balance in the next couple of years to handle the planned capital outlay projects. There is a desire to introduce smooth, incremental increases. After 2029, there is a large increase in the cash balance. Mayor Elliott asked what they pay for the light bill. Ms. Holm stated Brooklyn Center pays around $225,000 per year for electricity. 11/21/2022 Page 7 Mayor Elliott asked how much the City pays for natural gas. Ms. Holm stated she doesn’t have the information in front of her because it doesn’t come out of this fund. Mayor Elliott asked how much the City pays for fuel at the Central Garage. Ms. Heyman stated there isn’t a simple total because it is split amongst Departments, but Staff would gather the data for Council. Ms. Holm showed a storm sewer utility rate comparison to several cities, and Brooklyn Center was on the mid-to-high-end of the chart. The comparison cities included Crystal, New Hope, Richfield, Golden Valley, and Shoreview. Not all cities charge for streetlights. She pointed out that the rates on the chart are from 2022 with the yellow bar depicting the 2023 Brooklyn Center rate. Ms. Holm showed a graph with the recycling utility rate and cash flow. Brooklyn Center has a relationship with two other cities that provide recycling services to its residents. The City charges a fee and pays it out to the contracted parties. There is a healthy cash balance that would slowly decrease until about 2030. There aren’t many administrative costs, and there is no capital outlay for the fund. Councilmember Graves stated she has had issues with her recycling being picked up. She asked if the City has received complaints about recycling. City Clerk/Interim Assistant City Manager Barb Suciu stated she has received complaints, and there have been issues staffing enough trucks. She noted residents have had success with residents calling the recycling entity directly to ask for them to pick it up. Ms. Holm showed a table with the recycling utility rate comparison, and Brooklyn Center is in the middle of the pack. The comparison cities include Roseville, Fridley, Crystal, New Hope, Maplewood, and Golden Valley. Councilmember Graves asked about the change in the fund balance. Ms. Holm stated the net change takes into account cash and appreciation. There are some weaknesses in how government accounting is presented as it needs to show appreciation and capital outlay among other things. It is ultimately an issue of presentation. 5. FUTURE MEETINGS 5a. BUDGET MEETING DECEMBER 5, 2022 Mayor Elliott noted the next budget meeting is December 5, 2022. Dr. Edwards noted Staff hasn’t had the opportunity to present on enterprise funds yet, so he will propose a date to address the golf course, Heritage Center, and liquor stores. Ms. Holm noted November 29, 2022 was proposed via email. Mayor Elliott noted he has a conflict that day, but the meeting can 11/21/2022 Page 8 6.

In 2019, the City adopted the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and embarked on a major overhaul of the City’s current zoning (Chapter 35), sign (Chapter 34), and platting (Chapter 15) codes with consultant Bolton & Menk, as these chapters present significant barriers, difficulties, and confusions in their ease of use and overall accessibility for not only City staff, but residents, business owners, and prospective developers as well. Further, these chapters are out of compliance with state law, opening the City up to legal risks. City staff have worked with Bolton & Menk to merge the three chapters into one, unified document (Unified Development Ordinance). Over the past three years, City staff have been working through a complete overhaul of the UDO, with the intent to: •Align the UDO with the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan; •Bring the UDO into compliance with state law, particularly with waterbody protections and development review requirements; •Reorganize the UDO so it is clearer and easier to use; •Modernize regulations to ensure they meet community needs and promote equity; and •Improve customer service and regional competitiveness City of Brooklyn Center | 6301 Shingle Creek Pkwy | Brooklyn Center, MN 55430-2199 | (763) 569-3330 | www.cityofbrooklyncenter.org The updated UDO consists of the following components: •Section 1: General Provisions •Section 2: Zoning Districts •Section 3: Overlay Districts •Section 4: Use Regulations •Section 5: Development Standards and Incentives •Section 6: Signs •Section 7: Administration •Section 8: Subdivisions and Planned Unit Developments •Section 9: Definitions Key changes to the updated UDO include: •The consolidation of zoning districts; •Clarifying and modernizing allowed uses within each zoning district; •Bringing environmental preservation policies into alignment with state law; and •Clarifying city land use approval and review policies to better support staffs’ ability to effectively administer the UDO City staff recognizes that no UDO is perfect, and that updating and writing land use policies is as much an “art” as it is a technical process. The intent of the updated UDO therefore is to be a robust living, breathing document that modernizes City land use policies, and can be further revised and evolve over time. UDO and Equity While drafting the UDO, City staff prioritized an equity-centered lens when considering impacts of new land use policies within the UDO. Staff recognizes the historic connections that zoning and land use policies have had on systemic racism and the legal separation of people and uses. Practices such as redlining, restrictive covenants, large lot sizes, and segregating land uses are all policy examples of how this has manifested throughout US history. While Brooklyn Center’s land use history is not as explicit in this regard, its traditionally auto-oriented design patterns have created issues related to job access, transportation equity, and flexibility regarding integrated land uses. The updated UDO therefore seeks to address equity-promotion as outlined by the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, and as suggested from community members in the following ways: x Creation of mixed-use districts; x Creation of neighborhood commercial nodes; x Organizing density around transit; x Permitting zoning flexibility in exchange for identified goals of sustainability, housing affordability, and affordable commercial spaces; x Supporting multi-generational housing needs; x Permitting and updating home-based businesses provisions; and x Supporting more housing options and more affordable home ownership through strategies like ADUs, duplexes, and mixed-use zoning Engagement to Date Public and targeted stakeholder engagement around the updated UDO have been among the most significant engagement efforts the City has undertaken to date. Careful attention was given towards City of Brooklyn Center | 6301 Shingle Creek Pkwy | Brooklyn Center, MN 55430-2199 | (763) 569-3330 | www.cityofbrooklyncenter.org ensuring the public and impacted stakeholders were provided multiple opportunities and formats for education on the UDO, and in providing feedback that would help craft the UDO’s formation. Key engagement efforts conducted include: • Dedicated UDO Project Website o A dedicated project website was created to be the clearing house for all public-facing information, outreach, and summary of project updates - https://clients.bolton-menk.com/brooklyncenter2019/zoning/ • Thematic One-Pager Info Sheets o Six info sheets hosted on the UDO project website, that cover topics related to housing, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), commercial standards, and waterbody protections. • Citizen Zoning Task Force o 14-member resident task force, that met four times with City staff and the consultant team. Task force members helped inform updates to residential and commercial standards, and vetted proposed district updates. • Sign Code Task Force o Local business owners met with City staff and consultant team to review draft sign code and offer feedback on updating standards and regulations. • Recorded Webinars o Three public overview webinars were recorded in winter 2021 to provide an overview of each draft section of the UDO. Each recorded webinar was uploaded to the UDO project website, and included a comment & question form link for public feedback. • Public Online Open Houses o Three virtual public meetings were hosted in summer 2021 to preview draft residential, commercial, and waterbody protections. Meetings were recorded and uploaded to the UDO project website. • Targeted Stakeholder Open House o Property owners and residents of properties that would be impacted by either the Shoreland or MRCCA ordinance provisions within the UDO were sent a mailer prior to a waterbody protection open house. The mailer included details about the open house and website where people could learn more information about proposed changes. • Surveys o Two surveys were uploaded to the UDO project website to collect feedback on residential standards, and commercial standards related to the new UDO. • Property Owner Mailers o As part of adoption of a new UDO, many properties within the City will be re-zoned to align with the new regulations, new zoning districts (refer to Exhibit A), and 2040 Comprehensive Plan. In addition, nearly all existing zoning districts will be updated with new, more modern, regulations. All properties in the City which are anticipated to experience a change in zoning designation have received a postcard in the mail directing them to an online interactive zoning map where they can get more information about the proposed changes and how it will affect their property. • Interactive Draft Zoning Map o An online interactive draft zoning map was created for the public to view properties’ current zoning and proposed future zoning, and gain more information on potential impacts of the change - https://bmi.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=e3b4a4e3bca1482faa 4deec8926dd82d • Hosting Full Draft Code Sections Online City of Brooklyn Center | 6301 Shingle Creek Pkwy | Brooklyn Center, MN 55430-2199 | (763) 569-3330 | www.cityofbrooklyncenter.org o Full versions of each draft section of the UDO were uploaded to the UDO project website for public review. Online comment forms were provided for the public to submit comments or questions. • Joint Planning and Housing Commission Updates o Four work sessions were held with members of the Planning and Housing Commissions, to provide updates on the UDO’s development, and to assess key questions related to residential and commercial standards, and environmental protections. • City Council Work Sessions o Three work sessions were held with the City Council, to provide updates on the UDO’s development, and to vet key questions related to residential and commercial standards, and land use approval processes. A public hearing notice regarding this comprehensive update and the recommended adoption of the Unified Development Ordinance was published in the Brooklyn Center Sun Post on November 3, 2022 and is attached. Mail notifications were sent to those residents and property owners whose properties are proposed for re-zoning. Key UDO Approval Questions & Answers: Q: How Will the New UDO Replace the Current UDO? A: Upon Council approval, the new UDO will “repeal and replace” corresponding sections within the current city code. The sections to be repealed within the current City Code include Chapter 15 (Platting) and Chapter 34 (Signs). Chapter 35, which is the City’s existing Zoning Code, would be repealed and replaced with said UDO. Q: When will the new UDO take effect? How will the public be able to view the new UDO content or zoning map? A: The new UDO will take effect 30 days after City Council adoption. Upon City approval, City staff will begin the process of digitizing the new UDO, and uploading it online for documentation and public access. Q: Will land uses or site design features become non-compliant if they’re within a zoning district that is guided to change? Will land owners have to make changes to bring their property into compliance? A: No, all current property within the city is “grandfathered” into the new UDO, and is considered “legally non-conforming”. Q: Will all properties in the city be re-zoned at once? When does that process occur? A: Upon City UDO approval process, the City will also be adopting a new Zoning Map. Upon adoption of the zoning map will change the zoning of all properties within the City of Brooklyn Center, as indicated in the zoning map.

Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, such listings are intended to be explanative without being exclusive or limited. The exception to this general rule of interpretation is the listing of uses allowed in a district, which is intended to be limited to only those uses and the uses the City Council finds to be substantially similar as provided in this Chapter. The Minnesota legislature has adopted various provisions by statute requiring local governments to treat certain uses as permitted or conditional uses within their respective jurisdictions for the purposes of zoning regulations. Notwithstanding the general prohibition contained herein of uses not expressly allowed by this Chapter, this Chapter shall be interpreted as allowing those uses the legislature expressly requires the City to allow. Such uses shall be classified as provided in the legislative mandate and shall only be allowed in those areas described in the applicable statute, and then only to the extent and scope as prescribed in the statute. For example, Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.357, subdivision 7 requires a licensed day care facility serving 12 or fewer persons to be considered a permitted single family residential use of property. As such, this Chapter shall be interpreted as allowing that Page 5 specific use as a permitted residential use, but only up to a capacity of 12 persons. A proposed use that exceeds the scope described in the statute shall not be allowed unless the expanded use is expressly permitted in the particular zoning district by this Chapter. Furthermore, if the statute indicates the use is to be allowed as a conditional use, the use may only occur upon the submission of an application and receipt of a conditional use permit from the City. All mandated uses shall obtain a land use permit and all other permits and permissions as required by this Chapter and all other applicable laws. 1.3.2 Supremacy When any condition imposed by any provision of this Unified Development Ordinance upon the use of land or buildings or upon the bulk of buildings is either more restrictive or less restrictive than similar conditions imposed by provisions of another City ordinance or resolution, the more restrictive condition shall prevail. This Unified Development Ordinance is not intended to abrogate any easements, covenants, or any other private agreement, providing that where the provisions of this Unified Development Ordinance are more restrictive than such easements, covenants, or other private agreements, the provisions of this Unified Development Ordinance shall prevail. 1.4 Transition from Prior Regulations 1.4.1 Prior Zoning Regulations This Chapter supersedes and replaces Brooklyn Center City City Code Chapters 15, 34 and 35, and all such provisions are hereby repealed. The repeal of the City’s previous zoning and subdivision chapters does not itself affect the status of any use, structure, or lot that was not in conformance with the earlier chapters. 1.5 Comprehensive Plan 1.5.1 General The City Council hereby undertakes to carry on comprehensive study and planning as a continuing guide for land use and development legislation within the municipality. For this purpose, the City Council has adopted a Comprehensive Guide Plan for the City of Brooklyn Center, and the City’s Planning Commission aids in such planning as the advisory planning agency. Comprehensive Plan Amendment procedures, criteria, and adoption are detailed in Section 7.12. 1.5.2 Coordination with Other Agencies In the performance of its planning activities, the Planning Commission shall consult with and coordinate the planning activities of other departments and agencies of the municipality to ensure conformity with and to assist in a development of the comprehensive municipal plan. Furthermore, the Planning Commission shall take due cognizance of the planning activities of adjacent units of government and other affected public agencies. Page 6 1.5.3 Relationship between Comprehensive Plan and this UDO Minnesota statutes require the Unified Development Ordinance be consistent with the approved Comprehensive Plan. 1.6 Other General Provisions 1.6.1 Applications. All applications must be on forms approved by the City Council. Any requests not submitted on an approved City form shall not be considered an application for the purposes of this UDO or Minnesota Statutes, Section 15.99, and shall be rejected. An application shall be immediately rejected if it is not accompanied by the required application fee. If an escrow is required, the applicant shall submit the required amount for escrow with the City within five days of the submission of the application or the application shall be deemed incomplete and will not be processed. 1.6.2 Enforcement. This Unified Development Ordinance shall be administered and enforced Zoning Administrator. The Zoning Administrator may authorize other employees or agents of the City to perform the various duties of the Zoning Administrator specified in Section 7.1. 1.6.3 Penalties. Violation of the provisions of this Unified Development Ordinance or failure to comply with any of its requirements (including violations of conditions and safeguards established in connection with grants of variances or conditional use permits) shall constitute a misdemeanor. Any person who violates this Unified Development Ordinance or fails to comply with any of its requirements shall, upon conviction thereof by lawful authority, be fined not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) or imprisoned for not more than ninety (90) days or both, and in addition, shall pay all costs and expenses of prosecution. Each day such violation continues shall be considered a separate offense. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the City of Brooklyn Center from taking such other lawful action as is necessary to prevent or remedy any violation. No provision of this Chapter designating the duties of any official or employee of the City shall be so construed as to make such official or employee liable for the penalty provided in this section for failure to perform such duty, unless the intention of the City Council to impose such penalty on such official or employee is specifically and clearly expressed in the section creating the duty. 1.6.4 Severability. Every section, provision, or part of this Unified Development Ordinance is declared separable from every other section, provision, or part to the extent that if any section, provision, or part of the Unified Development Ordinance shall be held invalid, it shall not invalidate any other section, provision, or part thereof.

Allowed uses are shown in Section 4.2 Allowed Use Table. Page 41 Overlay Districts 3.1 Overlay Districts. The following overlay districts are hereby established for the City: Overlay Districts FP Floodplain SL Shoreland CA Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area The boundaries of the overlay districts are shown on the Zoning Map. 3.1.1 FP – Floodplain (a)Statutory Authorization, Findings of Fact and Purpose (1)Statutory Authorization The legislature of the State of Minnesota has, in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 103F and Chapter 462, delegated the responsibility to local government units to adopt regulations designed to minimize flood losses. (A) Purpose. This Unified Development Ordinance regulates development in the flood hazard areas of the City. These flood hazard areas are subject to periodic inundation, which may result in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base. It is the purpose of this Unified Development Ordinance to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare by minimizing these losses and disruptions. (B) National Flood Insurance Program Compliance. This UDO is adopted to comply with the rules and regulations of the National Flood Insurance Program. (C) This UDO is also intended to preserve the natural characteristics and functions of watercourses and floodplains in order to moderate flood and stormwater impacts, improve water quality, reduce soil erosion, protect aquatic and riparian habitat, provide recreational opportunities, provide aesthetic benefits and enhance community and economic development. (b)General Provisions (1)How to Use This Section (A) This section adopts the floodplain maps applicable to the City of Brooklyn Center and includes three floodplain districts: Floodway, Flood Fringe, and General Floodplain. (B) Where Floodway and Flood Fringe districts are delineated on the floodplain maps, the standards in Sections 3.1.1(d) and 3.1.1(e) will apply, depending on the location of a property. Page 42 (C) Locations where Floodway and Flood Fringe districts are not delineated on the floodplain maps are considered to fall within the General Floodplain district. Within the General Floodplain district, the Floodway District standards in Section 3.1.1(d) apply unless the floodway boundary is determined, according to the process outlined in Section 3.1.1(f) Once the floodway boundary is determined, the Flood Fringe District standards in Section 3.1.1(e) may apply outside the floodway. (2)Lands to Which Section Applies (A) This section applies to all lands within the jurisdiction of the City of Brooklyn Center shown on the Official Zoning Map and/or the attachments to the map as being located within the boundaries of the Floodway, Flood Fringe, or General Floodplain Districts. (B) The Floodway, Flood Fringe and General Floodplain Districts are overlay districts that are superimposed on all existing zoning districts. The standards imposed in the overlay districts are in addition to any other requirements in this Unified Development Ordinance. In case of a conflict, the more restrictive standards will apply. (C) Persons contesting the location of the district boundaries will be given a reasonable opportunity to present their case to the Board of Adjustments and Appeals and to submit technical evidence. (3)Incorporation of Maps by Reference (A) The following maps together with all attached material are hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of the Official Zoning Map and this Unified Development Ordinance. The attached material includes the Flood Insurance Study for Hennepin County, Minnesota, and Incorporated Areas, dated November 4, 2016 and the Flood Insurance Rate Map panels enumerated below, dated November 4, 2016, all prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. These materials are on file in the offices of the Zoning Administrator and the City Clerk. (B) Effective Flood Insurance Rate Map panels numbers as follows: 27053C0203F; 27053C0204F; 27053C0208F; 27053C0209F; 27053C0212F; 27053C0216F. (4)Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation The regulatory flood protection elevation (RFPE) is an elevation no lower than one foot above the elevation of the regional flood plus any increases in flood elevation caused by encroachments on the floodplain that result from designation of a floodway. (5)Interpretation (A) The boundaries of the zoning districts are determined by scaling distances on the Flood Insurance Rate Map. (B) Where a conflict exists between the floodplain limits illustrated on the official zoning map and actual field conditions, the flood elevations shall be the governing factor. The Zoning Administrator must interpret the boundary location based on the ground elevations that existed on the site on the date of the first National Flood Insurance Program map showing the area within the regulatory floodplain, and other available technical data. (C) Persons contesting the location of the district boundaries will be given a reasonable opportunity to present their case to the Board of Adjustments and Appeals and to submit technical evidence. (6)Abrogation and Greater Restrictions Page 43 It is not intended by this section to repeal, abrogate, or impair any existing easements, covenants, or other private agreements. However, where this section imposes greater restrictions, the provisions of this Unified Development Ordinance prevail. All other sections inconsistent with this section are hereby repealed to the extent of the inconsistency only. (7)Warning and Disclaimer of Liability This Unified Development Ordinance does not imply that areas outside the floodplain districts or land uses permitted within such districts will be free from flooding or flood damages. This Unified Development Ordinance does not create liability on the part of the City of Brooklyn Center or its officers or employees for any flood damages that result from reliance on this Unified Development Ordinance or any administrative decision lawfully made hereunder. (8)Annexations The Flood Insurance Rate Map panels adopted by reference into Section 3.1.1(b)(3) above may include floodplain areas that lie outside of the corporate boundaries of the City of Brooklyn Center at the time of adoption of this Unified Development Ordinance. If any of these floodplain land areas are annexed into the City of Brooklyn Center after the date of adoption of this Unified Development Ordinance, the newly annexed floodplain lands will be subject to the provisions of this Unified Development Ordinance immediately upon the date of annexation. (9)Detachments The Flood Insurance Rate Map panels adopted by reference into Section 3.1.1(b)(3) above will include floodplain areas that lie inside the corporate boundaries of other municipalities at the time of adoption of this Unified Development Ordinance. If any of these floodplain land areas are detached from another municipality and come under the jurisdiction of the City of Brooklyn Center after the date of adoption of this Unified Development Ordinance, the newly detached floodplain lands will be subject to the provisions of this Unified Development Ordinance immediately upon the date of detachment. (c)Establishment of Zoning Districts (1)Districts (A) Floodway District The Floodway District includes those areas within Zones AE that have a floodway delineated as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Map adopted in Section 3.1.1(b)(3). For lakes, wetlands and other basins within Zones AE that do not have a floodway delineated, the Floodway District also includes those areas that are at or below the ordinary high water level as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 103G.005. (B) Flood Fringe District The Flood Fringe District includes areas within Zones AE that have a floodway delineated on the Flood Insurance Rate Map adopted in Section 3.1.1(b)(3), but are located outside of the floodway. For lakes, wetlands and other basins within Zones AE that do not have a floodway delineated, the Flood Fringe District also includes those areas below the one percent (1%) annual chance (100-year) flood elevation but above the ordinary high water level as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 103G.005. (C) General Floodplain District The General Floodplain District includes those areas within Zone A as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Map adopted in Section 3.1.1(b)(3). (2)Applicability Within the floodplain districts established in this Unified Development Ordinance, the use, size, type and location of development must comply with the terms of this ordinance and other applicable regulations. In no cases shall floodplain development adversely affect the efficiency or unduly Page 44 restrict the capacity of the channels or floodways of any tributaries to the mainstream, drainage ditches, or any other drainage facilities or systems. All uses not listed as permitted uses or conditional uses in Section 3.1.1(d), Section 3.1.1(e), and Section 3.1.1((f) noted herein are prohibited.

Page 45 (G) Levees or dikes intended to protect agricultural crops for a frequency flood event equal to or less than the 10-year frequency flood event. (4)Standards for Floodway Conditional Uses (A) Extractive uses and storage of materials require the completion of a site development and restoration plan, to be approved by the City Council. (B) Accessory structures. Structures accessory to the uses detailed in Section 3.1.1(d)(3) and Section 3.1.1(d)(1) must be constructed and placed so as to offer a minimal obstruction to the flow of flood waters, and are subject to the standards in Section 3.1.1(e)(B). (e)All Uses. A conditional use must not cause any increase in the stage of the 1% chance or regional flood or cause an increase in flood damages in the reach or reaches affected. (1)Fill; Storage of Materials and Equipment: (A) The storage or processing of materials that are, in time of flooding, flammable, explosive, or potentially injurious to human, animal, or plant life is prohibited. (B) Fill, dredge spoil, and other similar materials deposited or stored in the floodplain must be protected from erosion by vegetative cover, mulching, riprap or other acceptable method. Permanent sand and gravel operations and similar uses must be covered by a long-term site development plan. (C) Temporary placement of fill, other materials, or equipment which would cause an increase to the stage of the 1% percent chance or regional flood may only be allowed if the City has approved a plan that assures removal of the materials from the floodway based upon the flood warning time available. (2)Accessory Structures. Accessory structures, as identified in Section 3.1.1(d)(3)(A) above may be permitted, provided that: (A) Structures are not intended for human habitation; (B) Structures will have a low flood damage potential; (C) Structures will be constructed and placed so as to offer a minimal obstruction to the flow of flood waters; (D) Service utilities, such as electrical and heating equipment, within these structures must be elevated to or above the regulatory flood protection elevation or properly floodproofed; (E) Structures must be elevated on fill or structurally dry floodproofed in accordance with the FP1 or FP2 floodproofing classifications in the State Building Code. All floodproofed structures must be adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement and designed to equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls. (F) As an alternative, an accessory structure may be internally/wet floodproofed to the FP3 or FP4 floodproofing classifications in the State Building Code, provided the accessory structure constitutes a minimal investment and does not exceed 576 square feet in size. Designs for meeting this requirement must either be certified by a registered professional engineer or meet or exceed the following criteria: Page 46 i. To allow for the equalization of hydrostatic pressure, there must be a minimum of two “automatic” openings in the outside walls of the structure, with a total net area of not less than one square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding; and ii. There must be openings on at least two sides of the structure and the bottom of all openings must be no higher than one foot above the lowest adjacent grade to the structure. Using human intervention to open a garage door prior to flooding will not satisfy this requirement for automatic openings. (G) Structural works for flood control that will change the course, current or cross section of protected wetlands or public waters are subject to the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 103G.245. (H) A levee, dike or floodwall constructed in the floodway must not cause an increase to the 1% chance or regional flood. The technical analysis must assume equal conveyance or storage loss on both sides of a stream. (I) Floodway developments must not adversely affect the hydraulic capacity of the channel and adjoining floodplain of any tributary watercourse or drainage system. (f)Flood Fringe District (FF) (1)Permitted Uses Permitted uses are those uses of land or structures allowed in the underlying zoning district(s) that comply with the standards in Section 3.1.1(f)(2) below. If no pre-existing, underlying zoning districts exist, then any residential or nonresidential structure or use of a structure or land is a permitted use provided it does not constitute a public nuisance. (2)Standards for Flood Fringe Permitted Uses (A) All structures, including accessory structures, must be elevated on fill so that the lowest floor, as defined, is at or above the regulatory flood protection elevation. The finished fill elevation for structures must be no lower than one foot below the regulatory flood protection elevation and the fill must extend at the same elevation at least 15 feet beyond the outside limits of the structure. (B) Accessory Structures. As an alternative to the fill requirements of Section 3.1.1(e)(2)(A) noted above, structures accessory to the uses identified in Section 3.1.1(e)(1) above may be permitted to be internally/wet floodproofed to the FP3 or FP4 floodproofing classifications in the State Building Code, provided that: i. The accessory structure constitutes a minimal investment, does not exceed 576 square feet in size, and is only used for parking and storage. ii. All portions of floodproofed accessory structures below the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation must be: 1. adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement and designed to equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls; 2. be constructed with materials resistant to flood damage; and 3. must have all service utilities be water-tight or elevated to above the regulatory flood protection elevation. (C) Designs for meeting this requirement must either be certified by a registered professional engineer or meet or exceed the following criteria: Page 47 i. To allow for the equalization of hydrostatic pressure, there must be a minimum of two “automatic” openings in the outside walls of the structure, with a total net area of not less than one square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding; and ii. There must be openings on at least two sides of the structure and the bottom of all openings must be no higher than one foot above the lowest adjacent grade to the structure. Using human intervention to open a garage door prior to flooding will not satisfy this requirement for automatic openings. (D) The cumulative placement of fill or similar material on a parcel must not exceed 1,000 cubic yards, unless the fill is specifically intended to elevate a structure in accordance with Section 3.1.1(e)(2)(A) of this Unified Development Ordinance, or if allowed as a conditional use under Section 3.1.1(f)(3)(C) below. (E) The storage of any materials or equipment must be elevated on fill to the regulatory flood protection elevation. (F) All service utilities, including ductwork, must be elevated or water-tight to prevent infiltration of floodwaters. (G) The storage or processing of materials that are, in time of flooding, flammable, explosive, or potentially injurious to human, animal, or plant life is prohibited. (H) All fill must be properly compacted, and the slopes must be properly protected by the use of riprap, vegetative cover or other acceptable method. (I) All new principal structures must have vehicular access at or above an elevation not more than two feet below the regulatory flood protection elevation or must have a flood warning / emergency evacuation plan acceptable to the City. (J) Accessory uses such as yards, railroad tracks, and parking lots may be at an elevation lower than the regulatory flood protection elevation. However, any facilities used by employees or the general public must be designed with a flood warning system that provides adequate time for evacuation if the area is inundated to a depth and velocity such that the depth (in feet) multiplied by the velocity (in feet per second) would exceed a product of four upon occurrence of the regional (1% chance) flood. (K) Interference with normal manufacturing/industrial plant operations must be minimized, especially along streams having protracted flood durations. In considering permit applications, due consideration must be given to the needs of industries with operations that require a floodplain location. (L) Manufactured homes and recreational vehicles must meet the standards of Section 3.1.1(i) of this Unified Development Ordinance. (3)Conditional Uses The following uses and activities may be allowed as conditional uses, if allowed in the underlying zoning district(s) or any applicable overlay district, following the procedures in Section 3.1.1(j)(4) of this Unified Development Ordinance. (A) Any structure that is not elevated on fill or floodproofed in accordance with Section 3.1.1(e)(2)(A) and (2)(B) of this Unified Development Ordinance. (B) Storage of any material or equipment below the regulatory flood protection elevation.

Residential basement construction is not allowed below the regulatory flood protection elevation; and ii. Non-residential basements may be allowed below the regulatory flood protection elevation provided the basement is structurally dry floodproofed in accordance with the below Section 3.1.1(e)(4)(C) of this Unified Development Ordinance. iii. All areas of nonresidential structures, including basements, to be placed below the regulatory flood protection elevation must be floodproofed in accordance with the structurally dry floodproofing classifications in the State Building Code. Structurally dry floodproofing must meet the FP1 or FP2 floodproofing classification in the State Building Code, which requires making the structure watertight with the walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water and with structural components capable of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and the effects of buoyancy. iv. The placement of more than 1,000 cubic yards of fill or other similar material on a parcel (other than for the purpose of elevating a structure to the regulatory flood protection elevation) must comply with an approved erosion/sedimentation control plan. (C) The plan must clearly specify methods to be used to stabilize the fill on site for a flood event at a minimum of the regional (1% chance) flood event. (D) The plan must be prepared and certified by a registered professional engineer or other qualified individual acceptable to the City. (E) The plan may incorporate alternative procedures for removal of the material from the floodplain if adequate flood warning time exists. i. Storage of materials and equipment below the regulatory flood protection elevation must comply with an approved emergency plan providing for removal of such materials within the time available after a flood warning. ii. Alternative elevation methods other than the use of fill may be utilized to elevate a structure's lowest floor above the regulatory flood protection elevation. The base or floor of an enclosed area shall be considered above grade and not a structure’ s basement or lowest floor if: 1) the enclosed area is above-grade on at least one side of the structure; 2) it is designed to internally flood and is constructed with flood resistant materials; and 3) it is used solely for parking of vehicles, building access or storage. The above- noted alternative elevation methods are subject to the following additional standards: Page 49 4. Design and Certification – The structure’ s design and as-built condition must be certified by a registered professional engineer as being in compliance with the general design standards of the State Building Code and, specifically, that all electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing and air conditioning equipment and other service facilities must be at or above the regulatory flood protection elevation or be designed to prevent flood water from entering or accumulating within these components during times of flooding. 5. Specific Standards for Above-grade, Enclosed Areas - Above-grade, fully enclosed areas such as crawl spaces or tuck under garages must be designed to internally flood and the design plans must stipulate: I. The minimum area of openings in the walls where internal flooding is to be used as a floodproofing technique. There shall be a minimum of two openings on at least two sides of the structure and the bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one foot above grade. The automatic openings shall have a minimum net area of not less than one square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding unless a registered professional engineer or architect certifies that a smaller net area would suffice. The automatic openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, valves, or other coverings or devices provided that they permit the automatic entry and exit of flood waters without any form of human intervention; and II. That the enclosed area will be designed of flood resistant materials in accordance with the FP3 or FP4 classifications in the State Building Code and shall be used solely for building access, parking of vehicles or storage. (g)General Floodplain District (GF) (1)Permitted Uses (A) The uses listed in Section 3.1.1(d)(1) of this Unified Development Ordinance, Floodway District Permitted Uses, are permitted uses. (B) All other uses are subject to the floodway/flood fringe evaluation criteria specified in Section 3.1.1(g)(2) below. Section 3.1.1(d) applies if the proposed use is determined to be in the Floodway District. Section 3.1.1(e) applies if the proposed use is determined to be in the Flood Fringe District. (2)Procedures for Floodway and Flood Fringe Determinations (A) Upon receipt of an application for a permit or other approval within the General Floodplain District, the Zoning Administrator must obtain, review and reasonably utilize any regional flood elevation and floodway data available from a federal, state, or other source. (B) If regional flood elevation and floodway data are not readily available, the applicant must furnish additional information, as needed, to determine the regulatory flood protection elevation and whether the proposed use would fall within the Floodway or Flood Fringe District. Information must be consistent with accepted hydrological and hydraulic engineering standards and the standards in Section 3.1.1(f)(2)(C) below. (C) The determination of floodway and flood fringe must include the following components, as applicable: i. Estimate the peak discharge of the regional (1% chance) flood. Page 50 ii. Calculate the water surface profile of the regional flood based upon a hydraulic analysis of the stream channel and overbank areas. iii. Compute the floodway necessary to convey or store the regional flood without increasing flood stages more than one-half (0.5) foot. A lesser stage increase than 0.5 foot is required if, as a result of the stage increase, increased flood damages would result. An equal degree of encroachment on both sides of the stream within the reach must be assumed in computing floodway boundaries. (D) The Zoning Administrator will review the submitted information and assess the technical evaluation and the recommended Floodway and/or Flood Fringe District boundary. The assessment must include the cumulative effects of previous floodway encroachments. The Zoning Administrator may seek technical assistance from a designated engineer or other expert person or agency, including the Department of Natural Resources. Based on this assessment, the Zoning Administrator may approve or deny the application. (E) Once the Floodway and Flood Fringe District boundaries have been determined, the Zoning Administrator must process the permit application consistent with the applicable provisions of Sections 3.1.1(d) and 3.1.1(e) of this Unified Development Ordinance. (h)Land Development Standards (1)In General Recognizing that flood prone areas may exist outside of the designated floodplain districts, the requirements of this section apply to all land within the City of Brooklyn Center.

(C) All subdivisions must have road access both to the subdivision and to the individual building sites no lower than two feet below the regulatory flood protection elevation, unless a flood warning emergency plan for the safe evacuation of all vehicles and people during the regional (1% chance) flood has been approved by the City. The plan must be prepared by a registered engineer or other qualified individual, and must demonstrate that adequate time and personnel exist to carry out the evacuation. (D) For all subdivisions in the floodplain, the Floodway and Flood Fringe District boundaries, the regulatory flood protection elevation and the required elevation of all access roads must be clearly labeled on all required subdivision drawings and platting documents. (E) In the General Floodplain District, applicants must provide the information required in Section 3.1.1(f)(2) of this Unified Development Ordinance to determine the regional flood elevation, the Floodway and Flood Fringe District boundaries and the regulatory flood protection elevation for the subdivision site. Page 51 (F) If a subdivision proposal or other proposed new development is in a flood prone area, any such proposal must be reviewed to assure that: i. All such proposals are consistent with the need to minimize flood damage within the flood prone area; ii. All public utilities and facilities, such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems are located and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damage; and iii. Adequate drainage is provided to reduce exposure of flood hazard. (3)Building Sites If a proposed building site is in a flood prone area, all new construction and substantial improvements (including the placement of manufactured homes) must be: (A) Designed (or modified) and adequately anchored to prevent floatation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of buoyancy; (B) Constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage; (C) Constructed by methods and practices that minimize flood damage; and (D) Constructed with electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, and air conditioning equipment and other service facilities that are designed and/or located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding. (i)Public Utilities, Railroads, Roads, and Bridges (1)Public Utilities All public utilities and facilities such as gas, electrical, sewer, and water supply systems to be located in the floodplain must be floodproofed in accordance with the State Building Code or elevated to the regulatory flood protection elevation. (2)Public Transportation Facilities Railroad tracks, roads, and bridges to be located within the floodplain must comply with Sections 3.1.1(d) and 3.1.1(e) of this Unified Development Ordinance. These transportation facilities must be elevated to the regulatory flood protection elevation where failure or interruption of these facilities would result in danger to the public health or safety or where such facilities are essential to the orderly functioning of the area. Minor or auxiliary roads or railroads may be constructed at a lower elevation where failure or interruption of transportation services would not endanger the public health or safety. (3)On-site Water Supply and Sewage Treatment Systems Where public utilities are not provided: 1) On-site water supply systems must be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the systems and are subject to the provisions in Minnesota Rules Part 4725.4350, as amended; and 2) New or replacement on-site sewage treatment systems must be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the systems and discharges from the systems into flood waters, they must not be subject to impairment or contamination during times of flooding, and are subject to the provisions in Minnesota Rules Part 7080.2270, as amended. (4)Recreational Vehicles Page 52 (A) New recreational vehicle parks or campgrounds and expansions to existing recreational vehicle parks or campgrounds are prohibited in any floodplain district. Placement of recreational vehicles in existing recreational vehicle parks or campgrounds in the floodplain must meet the exemption criteria below or be treated as new structures meeting the requirements of this Unified Development Ordinance.

The Zoning Administrator must notify the applicant for a variance that: v. The issuance of a variance to construct a structure below the base flood level will result in increased premium rates for flood insurance up to amounts as high as $25 for $100 of insurance coverage; and vi. Such construction below the base or regional flood level increases risks to life and property. Such notification must be maintained with a record of all variance actions. vii. General Considerations. The community shall consider the following factors in granting variances and imposing conditions on variances and conditional uses in floodplains: viii. The potential danger to life and property due to increased flood heights or velocities caused by encroachments; ix. The danger that materials may be swept onto other lands or downstream to the injury of others; x. The proposed water supply and sanitation systems, if any, and the ability of these systems to minimize the potential for disease, contamination and unsanitary conditions;Page 55 xi. The susceptibility of any proposed use and its contents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the individual owner; xii. The importance of the services to be provided by the proposed use to the community; xiii.The requirements of the facility for a waterfront location; xiv. The availability of viable alternative locations for the proposed use that are not subject to flooding; xv.The compatibility of the proposed use with existing development and development anticipated in the foreseeable future; xvi. The relationship of the proposed use to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and floodplain management program for the area; xvii.

Page 82 (D)A master plan/site plan describing the project and showing floor plans for all commercial structures. (E)Additional documents necessary to explain how the PUD will be designed and will function. (5)Density Determination Proposed new or expansions to existing planned unit developments must be evaluated using the following procedures. (A)Step 1. Identify Density Analysis Tiers. Divide the project parcel into tiers by drawing one or more lines parallel to the ordinary high water level at the following intervals, proceeding landward: Tier Depth Classification Sewer (ft) General Development Lakes – 1st tier 200 General Development Lakes – all other tiers 200 Recreational Development Lakes 267 All Rivers 300 (B)Step 2. Calculate Suitable Area for Development. Calculate the suitable area within each tier by excluding all wetlands, bluffs, or land below the ordinary high water level of public waters. (C)Step 3. Determine Base Density: i.For residential PUDs, divide the suitable area within each tier by the minimum single residential lot area for lakes to determine the allowable number of dwelling units, or base density, for each tier. For rivers, if a minimum lot area is not specified, divide the tier width by the minimum single residential lot width. ii.For commercial PUDs: a. Determine the average area for each dwelling unit or dwelling site within each tier. Include both existing and proposed dwelling units and sites in the calculation. i. For dwelling units, determine the average inside living floor area of dwelling units in each tier. Do not include decks, patios, garages, or porches and basements, unless they are habitable space. ii. For dwelling sites (campgrounds), determine the area of each dwelling site as follows: For manufactured homes, use the area of the manufactured home, if known, otherwise use 1,000 sf. For recreational vehicles, campers or tents, use 400 sf. Page 83 iii. Select the appropriate floor area/dwelling site area ratio from the following table for the floor area or dwelling site area determined in Section 3.1.2(c)(ii)(A) above. iv. Multiply the suitable area within each tier determined in (B) above by the floor area or dwelling site area ratio to yield the total floor area or dwelling site area for each tier to be used for dwelling units or dwelling sites. v. Divide the total floor area or dwelling site area for each tier calculated in (C)(ii)(a), (iv) above by the average inside living floor area for dwelling units or dwelling site area determined in (C)(ii), (a)(i) above This yields the allowable number of dwelling units or dwelling sites, or base density, for each tier. b. Allowable densities may be transferred from any tier to any other tier further from the waterbody but must not be transferred to any tier closer to the waterbody. c.

The MRCCA within the City is divided into the following MRCCA Districts: (A)River Neighborhood (RN). i.Description. The RN District is characterized by primarily residential neighborhoods that are riparian or readily visible from the river or that abut riparian parkland. The district includes parks and open space, limited commercial development, marinas, and related land uses. ii.Management Purpose The RN District must be managed to maintain the character of the river corridor within the context of existing residential and related neighborhood development, and to protect and enhance habitat, parks and open space, public river corridor views, and scenic, natural, and historic areas. Minimizing erosion and the flow of untreated storm water into the river and enhancing habitat and shoreline vegetation are priorities in the district. (B)Separated from River (SR). i.Description. The SR District is characterized by its physical and visual distance from the Mississippi River. The district includes land separated from the river by distance, topography, development, or a transportation corridor. The land in this district is not readily visible from the Mississippi River. ii.Management purpose. The SR district provides flexibility in managing development without negatively affecting the key resources and features of the river corridor. Minimizing negative impacts to primary conservation areas and minimizing erosion and flow of untreated storm water into the Mississippi River are priorities in the district. The RTC district must be managed in a manner that allows continued growth and redevelopment in historic downtowns and more intensive redevelopment in limited areas at river crossings to accommodate compact walkable development patterns and connections to the river. Minimizing erosion and the flow of untreated storm water into the river, providing public access to and public views of the river, and restoring natural vegetation in riparian areas and tree canopy are priorities in the district. (4)MRCCA District Map The locations and boundaries of the MRCCA districts established by this Section are shown on the City Zoning Map which is incorporated herein by reference. The district boundary lines are intended to follow the center lines of rivers and streams, highways, streets, lot lines, and municipal boundaries, unless a boundary Page 93 line is otherwise indicated on the map. Where district boundaries cross unsubdivided property, the district boundary line is determined by use of dimensions or the scale appearing on the map. Special Land Use Provisions (1)Purpose To identify development standards and considerations for land uses that have potential to negatively impact primary conservation areas and public river corridor views.

The uses permitted in overlay districts shall be guided by the underlying base zoning district, but are controlled by applicable overlay district requirements. 4.1.2 Organization of table Table 4.2.1 organizes uses by use category, and use type. (a)Use categories. The use categories provide a systematic basis for assigning present and future land uses into broad general classifications (e.g., household living, commercial, etc.). . (b)Use types. The use categories are organized into specific use types based on common functional, product, or physical characteristics, such as the type and amount of activity, the type of customers or residents, how goods or services are sold or delivered, and site conditions.. 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. (c)Symbols in table. The symbols used in Table 4.2.1 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 4.2. Permitted uses are subject to all other applicable standards of this UDO. (2)Accessory uses (A). An “A” in a cell indicates that a use type is allowed as an accessory use in the respective zoning district. An accessory use is one that is incidental and subordinate to the principal use on the same lot. If a use is permitted in this Section as a principal use, it is also allowed as an accessory use. (3)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 4.2 and approval of a conditional use permit in accordance with the UDO. Conditional uses are subject to all other applicable standards of this UDO. Page 114 (4)Interim Uses (I). An “I” in a cell indicates that a use type is allowed as an interim 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 4.2 and approval of an Interim Use Permit in accordance with the UDO. Interim uses are subject to all other applicable standards of this UDO. (5)Prohibited uses ( ). A blank cell indicates that the listed use type is prohibited in the respective zoning district. (d)Use-specific standards. The “use-specific standards” column of Table 4.2 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. (e)Unlisted uses. If a use is not listed in Table 4.2, it shall be considered a Prohibited use, unless the City Council determines that the use is substantially similar in nature and potential impacts on the surrounding community as an existing use in the use table. (f)Uses allowed by statute or rule. If a provision in Minnesota statute or rule expressly requires a city to allow a certain use or facility as a permitted or conditional use within a residential district, the use or facility shall be allowed as provided in law up to the number of people indicated in the particular statute or rule, unless a larger number is allowed in the district under this UDO. 4.2 Allowed Use Table 4.2.1 Table

(e)Adult Uses (1)Findings and Purpose Studies conducted by the Minnesota Attorney General, the American Planning Association, and cities such as Saint Paul, Minnesota; Indianapolis, Indiana; Hopkins, Minnesota; Ramsey, Minnesota; Minnetonka, Minnesota; Rochester, Minnesota; Phoenix, Arizona; Los Angeles, California; and Seattle, Washington have studied the impacts that adult establishments (referred to in the UDO as adult uses) have in those communities. These studies have concluded that sexually oriented uses have adverse impacts on the surrounding neighborhoods. These impacts include increased crime rates, lower property values, increased transiency, neighborhood blight, and potential health risks. Based on these studies and findings, the City Council concludes: Page 132 (A) Adult uses and adult establishments are understood as defined in Section 9.2 of the UDO. (B) Adult uses have adverse secondary impacts of the types set forth above. (C) The adverse impacts caused by adult uses tend to diminish if such establishments are governed by geographic, licensing, and health requirements. (D) It is not the intent of the City Council to prohibit adult uses from having a reasonable opportunity to locate in the city. (E) Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.357, allows the City to adopt regulations to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare. (F) The public health, safety, and general welfare will be promoted by the City adopting regulations governing sexually oriented uses. (G) Adult establishments can contribute to an increase in criminal activity in the area in which such businesses are located, taxing city crime prevention programs and law enforcement services. (H) Adult establishments can be used as fronts for prostitution and other criminal activity. The experience of other cities indicates that the proper management and operation of such businesses can, however, minimize this risk, provided the owners and operators of such facilities are regulated by licensing or other procedures. (I) The risk of criminal activity and/or public health problems can be minimized through a regulatory scheme as prescribed herein. (2)Definitions. The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this Section, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 9.2, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning. (3)Adult establishments may be located only as allowed by Section 4.2 of this code, and with the following restrictions: (A) No adult use may be allowed within 500 ft of the R1, R2, or R3 district, as measured from the two nearest property lines.

(6)The property has not been subject to a minor subdivision in the last five (5) years. (7)Subdivisions not meeting the criteria for a minor subdivision, or where the proposed minor subdivision involves unusual elements or policy decisions that the Zoning Administrator determines require detailed review, shall be subject to the platting requirements and procedures in this Section. 8.1.2 Application (a)Applications for a minor subdivision or consolidation shall be made to the Community Development Department on forms provided by the City and shall include evidence of ownership interest. The application must be accompanied by the fee specified in the adopted fee schedule.

(3)Other exceptions as outlined in Minnesota State Statute 462.358, Subsection 4b. 8.2 Subdivision Design Standards 8.2.1 Purpose And Interpretation. Each new subdivision becomes a permanent unit in the basic physical structure of the future community, a unit to which the future community will of necessity be forced to adhere. Piecemeal planning of such subdivisions, without correlation to the City's plan, will bring a disastrous disconnected patchwork of plats and poor circulation of traffic. In order that new subdivisions will contribute toward an attractive, orderly, stable and wholesome community environment, adequate municipal services, and safe streets, all subdivisions hereafter platted within the incorporated limits of the City of Brooklyn Center shall in all respects fully comply with the regulations hereinafter set forth in this Unified Development Ordinance. In their interpretation and application the provisions of this Unified Development Ordinance shall be the minimum requirements adopted for the protection of the public health, safety and general welfare. 8.2.2 Scope Page 238 Except in the case of a resubdivision, this Unified Development Ordinance shall not apply to any lot or lots forming a part of subdivision plats recorded in the Office of the Hennepin County Recorder or Registrar of Titles prior to the effective date of this Unified Development Ordinance, nor is it intended by this Unified Development Ordinance to repeal, abrogate, annul or in any way impair or interfere with existing provisions of other laws or Unified Development Ordinances except those specifically repealed by, or in conflict with, this Unified Development Ordinance, or with private restrictions placed upon property by deed, covenant or other private agreement, or with restrictive covenants running with the land to which the City is a party. 8.2.3 Minimum Subdivision Design Standards (a)Conformance with Comprehensive Plan The proposed subdivision shall conform to the Comprehensive Plan. (b)Public Street Plan. (1)The arrangements, character, extent, width, grade and location of all streets shall conform to the Comprehensive Plan and shall be considered in their relation to existing and planned streets, to reasonable circulation of traffic, to topographical conditions, to runoff of storm water, to public convenience and safety, and in their appropriate relation to the proposed uses of the land to be served by such streets. (2)The arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall make provisions for the appropriate continuation of the existing streets in adjoining areas. (3)Where adjoining areas are not subdivided, the arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall make provision for the proper projection of streets. (4)When a new subdivision adjoins unsubdivided land susceptible of being subdivided, then the new streets shall be carried to the boundaries of the tract proposed to be subdivided. (c)Public Streets (1)Right-Of-Way Widths All right of way widths shall conform to the following minimum dimensions: Classification Minimum Width Minor Arterial 100 feet or as shown on the Comprehensive Plan Major Collector 80 feet Minor Collector 60 feet Local Street 60 feet (2)Street Deflections. When connecting street lines of the same street deflect from each other at any one point by more than ten degrees, they shall be connected by a curve with a radius adequate to ensure a sight distance of not less than 200 feet for local Page 239 streets, and of such greater distance as necessary to meet the Minnesota Department of Transportation Road Design Manual, latest revision, for minor arterial and collector streets. The City Council may require greater or lesser sight distances at the recommendation of the City Engineer. (3)Reverse Curves. A tangent of at least 50 feet shall be provided between reverse curves on local streets, and of at least 100 feet on minor arterial and collector streets. (4)Street Grades.

Local streets shall be so aligned that their use by through traffic will be discouraged. (7)Street Jogs. Proposed new intersections along one side of an existing street shall, wherever practicable, coincide with any existing intersections on the opposite side of such street. Street jogs shall have a centerline offset of at least 125 feet for local streets and 150 feet for minor arterial and major and minor collector streets. (8)Safe Intersections. Streets shall be laid out to intersect at right (90 degree) angles with a 50 foot minimum tangent from the radius return. The angle of an intersection may be varied in cases where topography or other factors justify a variation, but in no case shall a street intersect with another street at angle of less than 75 degrees. Intersections having more than four corners shall be prohibited. Minimum curb radius at the intersection of two local streets shall be at least 15 feet; and minimum curb radius at an intersection involving a collector street shall be at least 20 feet. (9)Alleys.

(13)Reserve Strips Reserve strips controlling access to streets shall be prohibited except under conditions approved by the council. (14)Railroad or Limited Access Highways Abutting Subdivision. Where a subdivision borders on or contains a railroad right of way or limited access highway right of way, the council may require a street approximately parallel to and on each side of such right of way at a distance suitable for the appropriate use of the intervening land, as for park purposes in residential districts or for commercial or industrial purposes in appropriate districts. Such distances shall also be determined with due regard for the requirements of approach grades and future grade separations. (15)Private Streets. With the exception of condominium single family attached dwelling unit subdivisions, private streets shall not be approved nor shall public improvements be approved for any private street. (16)Hardship to Owners of Adjoining Property Avoided. The street arrangements shall not be such as to cause hardship to owners of adjoining property in platting their own land and providing convenient access to it. (17)Street Interval. In general, provisions shall be made at intervals not exceeding one- half mile for through streets (streets running through the subdivision in a fairly direct manner.)

Inspection At Subdivider's Expense. All required land improvements to be installed under the provisions of this Unified Development Ordinance shall be inspected at the subdivider's expense during the course of construction. Such inspection shall be by the City Engineer or an inspector appointed by the City Council. 8.2.7 Building Permit. With the exception of condominium single family attached dwelling unit subdivisions, no building permits shall be issued by any governing official for the construction of any building, structure or improvement on any land required to be subdivided by this Unified Development Ordinance until all requirements of this Unified Development Ordinance have been fully complied with. 8.3 Planned Unit Developments 8.3.1 Purpose. The purpose of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) is to provide comprehensive procedures and standards intended to allow more creativity and flexibility in site plan design than would be possible under conventional zoning standards. Although planned unit developments may appear to deviate in certain aspects from a literal interpretation of the zoning and subdivision ordinance, the PUD is intended to allow flexibility in design in order to promote developments which will be an asset to the City by equaling or surpassing the quality of developments resulting from the application of more conventional zoning regulations. It is intended that PUDs address several of the following: (a)Provide for the establishment of a PUD in appropriate settings and situations to create or maintain a development pattern that is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan; Page 246 (b)Promote a more creative and efficient approach to land use within the City, while at the same time protecting and promoting the health, safety, comfort, aesthetics, economic viability and general welfare of the City; (c)Provide for variations to the strict application of the land use regulations in order to improve site design and operation, while at the same time incorporate design elements that exceed the City's standards to offset the effect of any variations. Desired design elements may include: pedestrian-oriented design, landscaping, sustainable design, greater utilization of new technologies in building design, special construction materials, stormwater management, or open space preservation; (d)Ensure high quality of design and design compatible with surrounding land uses, including both existing and planned; (e)Maintain or improve the efficiency of public streets and utilities; (f)Preserve and enhance site characteristics, including natural features, wetland protection, trees, open space, scenic views and screening; (g)Allow for mixing of land uses within a development; (h)Encourage a variety of housing types, including affordable housing; and (i)Ensure the establishment of appropriate transitions between differing land uses. 8.3.2 Relationship to Major Subdivision Platting. The City considers PUD’s through the conditional use permit process; however, the special characteristics of a PUD often result in the subdivision of land, requiring a concurrent Major Subdivision process. If a property is to be subdivided, the conditional use permit for a PUD shall be considered concurrently with the preliminary plat application, and both resolutions for approval shall require the approval of the other. As with any other subdivision, the applicant is encouraged to submit a sketch plan prior to applying for a simultaneous PUD and Major Subdivision-preliminary plat. 8.3.3 Procedure. (a)Preapplication Conference Prior to filing an application for a PUD, the applicant must arrange for and attend a conference with City staff. The primary purpose of the conference shall be to provide the applicant with an opportunity to gather information and obtain guidance as to the general suitability of the proposal for the area for which it is proposed and its conformity to the provisions of this UDO before incurring substantial expense in the preparation of plans, surveys and other data. the applicant will work with City staff to determine a package of amenities commensurate with the scope of the proposed project. The approach should address one or more of the following topics: Page 247 (1)Innovative environmental design. (2)Affordable housing. (3)Providing affordable commercial space. (4)Local business use. (b)Preapplication sketch plan review. (1)Prior to filing a PUD application, the applicant may submit a sketch plan of the project to the City. The submittal should include a statement providing justification for the PUD, including, but not limited to, the intended utilization of the items listed in the purpose, intent and criteria in this Section. (c)Planning commission and City Council review of sketch plan. (1)The Planning and Zoning Division shall refer the sketch plan to the Planning Commission and City Council for discussion, review and informal comment. Any opinions or comments provided to the applicant by the City Planner, Planning Commission and City Council shall be considered advisory only and shall not constitute a binding decision on the request. There shall be no official application made for a sketch plan. It is an informal review and comment by Planning Commission and City Council. (d)Application. In addition to the requirements of Section 7.4 of this UDO, a complete application shall include the following: Page 248 (1)A PUD Development Plan including the following: (A)Depiction and outline the proposed implementation of the sketch plan for the PUD; (B)Street and utility locations and sizes; (C)A drainage plan, including location and size of pipes and water storage areas; (D)A grading plan, including temporary and permanent erosion control provisions; (E)A landscape plan; (F)A lighting plan; (G)A plan for timing and phasing of the development; (H)Covenants or other restrictions proposed for the regulation of the development; (I)A site plan showing the location of all structures and parking areas; (J)Building renderings or elevation drawings of all sides of all buildings to be constructed in at least the first phase of development; and (K)Any additional information and documentation the City may deem necessary and relevant. (2)Written description of requested flexibility from zoning standards within the PUD. (e)Application distributed. When the Zoning Administrator determines the application to be complete, the Zoning Administrator shall distribute the application and exhibits to any applicable City Staff, officials, and other government agencies for review and comment. (f)Hearing on application, review and decision. The review of the application shall follow the procedures for conditional use permits, as set forth in Section 7.7 of this UDO. 8.3.4 PUD Criteria. In addition to the criteria set forth in Section 7.7.3 of this UDO for conditional use permits, the City Council shall base its decision upon the following additional criteria: (a)Compatibility of the development plan with the standards, purposes and intent of this Section; (b)Consistency of the development plan with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan; (c)The impact of the development plan on the neighborhood in which it is to be located; and Page 249 (d)The adequacy of internal site organization, uses, densities, circulation, parking facilities, public facilities, recreational areas, open spaces, and buffering and landscaping. 8.3.5 PUD approval. (a)All conditional use permits for PUD’s shall be issued pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 462.3595 as may be amended from time to time and a certified copy of any conditional use permit for a PUD shall be recorded with the Hennepin County Recorder or Registrar of Titles along with a legal description of the property subject to the conditional use permit. (b)No conveyance of property within the PUD shall take place until the property is platted in conformance with the City subdivision regulations and Minnesota Statutes, section 462.358. All bylaws, homeowners’ association articles of incorporation, and protective covenants must be approved by the City Attorney and filed with the record plat. (c)Prior to construction on any PUD site, the developer shall execute a development agreement in a form satisfactory to the City. (d)After approval, nothing shall be constructed on the site and no building permits shall be issued except in conformity with the approved plans. (e)If no building permits have been obtained within 12 months following approval by the City Council, or if no construction has commenced on the area approved for the PUD within 12 months after the issuance of building permits, the City Council may initiate revocation of the conditional use permit. 8.3.6 PUD amendments. Amendments to an approved PUD shall be administered as follows: (a)Minor amendment. An application to amend a conditional use permit for the following shall be considered a minor amendment: (1)Landscape changes; (2)Parking lot configuration changes (not change in number of spaces); (3)Less than a ten (10) percent change in floor area in any one (1) structure; (4)Less than a ten (10) percent change in the approved separation of buildings; (5)Less than five (5) percent change in the ground area covered by the project; (6)Less than a five (5) percent change in the number of residential units; or (7)Less than a five (5) percent change in the number of parking spaces. (b)Major amendment. An application to amend a conditional use permit for the following shall be considered a major amendment: Page 250 (1)Any decrease in the amount of approved open space; (2)Ten (10) percent or greater change in floor area in any one (1) structure; (3)Ten (10) percent or greater change in the approved separation of buildings; (4)Any change in the original approved setbacks from property lines; (5)Five (5) percent or greater change in the ground area covered by the project; (6)Five (5) percent or greater change in the number of parking spaces; or (7)The introduction of new uses not included in the PUD approval. (c)Review of minor amendments. Minor amendments to a PUD shall be reviewed for compliance and approval by the Zoning Administrator. Decisions of the Zoning Administrator may be appealed to the City Council. The Zoning Administrator may determine that a proposed “minor amendment” is in fact a “major amendment” and may refer such proposed amendments to the Planning Commission and City Council according to the procedure established in subsection (d) below. (d)Review of major amendments. Any major amendment to a PUD requires the applicant to go through the same process established in Section 8.3.3. above for a new PUD, including consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council.

The approximately 1,600-square foot tenant space under consideration within this application was most recently the home of USA Karate. SPECIAL USE PERMIT REVIEW Background on Adult Day Care Facility Use The C2 (Commerce) District does not acknowledge “adult daycare” uses as a permitted or Special Use, nor is the use mentioned anywhere in the City’s Zoning Code. Minnesota State Statute section 245A.02 defines “adult daycare center, adult day services center, or center” as, “a facility that provides adult day care or adult day services to functionally impaired adults on a regular basis for periods of less than 24 hours a day in a setting other than a participant’s home or the residence of the facility operator.” Further, Minnesota Statutes section 245A.02 (Definitions), subdivision 2a notes that “adult day care,” “adult day services,” and “family adult day services” mean a program,” that provides functionally impaired adults with an individualized and coordinated set of services including health services, social services, and nutritional services that are directed at maintaining and improving the participants’ capabilities for self- care. Adult day care, adult day services, and family adult day services do not include programs where adults gather or congregate primarily for purposes of socialization, education, supervision, caregiver respite, religious expression, exercise, or nutritious meals.” Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.02, subdivision 7, defines “functional impairment” as follows: Subd. 7. Functional impairment. For the purposes of adult day care, adult day services, family adult day services, or adult foster care, “functional impairment” means: (1) a condition that is characterized by substantial difficulty in carrying out one or more of the essential major activities of daily living, such as caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, working; or App. No. 2022-006 PC 11/10/2022 Page 3 (2) a disorder of thought or mood that significantly impairs judgment, behavior, capacity to recognize reality, or ability to cope with the ordinary demands of life and that requires support to maintain independence in the community. Again, adult day centers are center-based facilities directly licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) that provide adult day services to functionally impaired adults on a regular basis for periods of fewer than 24 hours during the day in a setting that is not a residence, and are regulated by Minnesota Rules, parts 9555.9600 to 9555.9730. These rule sets forth requirements governing: x The development of programming to respond to identified needs of the individual; x Rights of people receiving services; x Staff qualifications, orientation and training requirements; x Service expectations to ensure health and safety of people receiving services; and x Policy and procedure requirements of the program Special Use Permit Request The Applicant is requesting approval of a Special Use Permit to allow for an adult day care facility to locate into an existing multi-tenant strip mall building located at 6070 Shingle Creek Parkway, and within an approximately 1,600-square feet. According to Section 35-220 (Special Use Permits) of the City’s Zoning Ordinance, “Special uses are those which may be required for the public welfare in a given district but which are, in some respects, incompatible with the permitted uses in the district. Before a building or premises is devoted to any use classified as a special use by this ordinance, a special use permit must be granted by the City Council.” As “group day care facilities” have been identified as the most closely related use, Section 35-322 (C2 Commerce District), Subsection 3 (Special Uses), notes that: q. Group day care facilities provided that such developments, in each specific case, are demonstrated to be: 1) Compatible with existing adjacent land uses as well as with those uses permitted in the C2 district generally. 2) Complementary to existing adjacent land uses as well as those uses permitted in the C2 district generally. 3) Of comparable intensity to permitted C2 district land uses with respect to activity levels. 4) Planned and designed to assure that generated traffic will be within the capacity of available public facilities and will not have an adverse impact upon those facilities, the immediate neighborhood, or the community. 5) Traffic generated by other uses on the site will not pose a danger to children served by the daycare use. Furthermore, group day care facilities shall be subject to the special requirements set forth in Section 35-412. As indicated in the language above, the “group daycare facilities” use is typically geared toward the more App. No. 2022-006 PC 11/10/2022 Page 4 traditionally seen child daycare model. As was the case in the approval of the other adult day care facilities in Brooklyn Center, Kashia Adult Day Services (C1 District, approved in 2003), and 5615 Brooklyn Boulevard (C1 District, approved in 2018), the Applicant’s submittal is similar in that their clients would not be suffering from severe medical problems and would utilize the adult day care for socialization opportunities, peer support, nutritional health, and other social services. The Applicant notes in the application materials (Exhibit A), that the adult daycare facility would be open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Clients would be picked up from their homes and brought to the Subject Property. Per conversations with the Applicant, clients would be picked up and dropped off by company transport vans, which would be parked on-site. The pick-up and drop-off times would vary; however, it is anticipated that the majority of pickups would occur between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. and drop offs would occur between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. Clients would have access to activities, such as exercising, tabletop games, conversations, reading, movies, etc., and would be provided with meals and snacks throughout the day. During pre-application discussions with City staff, the Applicant anticipates the potential to service 40-50 clients at this location. The Applicant indicated in application materials the intent to have three (3) staff on site and one on-call staff. The official maximum occupancy is to be determined by the City Building Official and authorized occupancy through licensing by the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS). As the Subject Property consists of an approximately 1,600 square foot suite located within a multi- tenant commercial building, the Applicant will have to comply with staffing ratios and occupancy limits guided by state regulations, and as noted above. The Applicant notes that, as clients would be brought by transport van to the Subject Property, the parking requirements would be less than that needed in a typical retail or office setting. Assuming a total of four (4) staff, a total of two parking spaces would be required for staff, as well as additional parking spaces for the transport vans. Per the site and building plans approved under Planning Commission Application No. 85001, the parking requirements are sufficient to accommodate retail uses for the approximately 35,000 square foot multi-tenant building on the parcel.

App. No. 2022-006 PC 11/10/2022 Page 6 COMPLIANCE FOR STANDARDS FOR SPECIAL USE PERMITS Special Use Permit Criteria Per the Standards of Special Use Permits, a Special Use Permit may be granted by the City Council after demonstration by evidence that all of the following are met: 1. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will promote and enhance the general public welfare and will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, or comfort. The Applicant has noted that it is not his intent to endanger the public health, safety, morals, or comfort of his intended clients or the general public. As adult daycare uses are licensed through the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS), the use is conditional upon receiving approval from the State to operate at the Subject Property and ensuring all outstanding comments identified by City staff, including the City Building Official, Fire Inspector, and City Planner, are addressed. Prior to applying for the Special Use Permit, the Applicant contacted the City Building Official to discuss the potential use and provided preliminary plans to remodel the suite to accommodate the needs of the adult day care. Additional ADA compliant bathrooms will need to be constructed, as well as installation of a prep kitchen for client food needs (to be further addressed by the Hennepin County Health Department). As clients would not be driving to and from the Subject Property, safety is considered by having the clients picked up at their respective residences and dropped off at the front entry by a transport vehicle. Clients would be supervised throughout the day by staff and the facility would typically be open Monday through Friday during the daytime hours of 8a.m. to 5 p.m. The use is intended to provide functionally impaired adults with an individualized and coordinated set of services including health services, social services, and nutritional services that are directed at maintaining and improving the participants’ capabilities for self-care. The centralized location also allows clients a place to socialize on a regular basis rather than in a potentially more isolated setting at home. 2. The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. The special use is not intended to be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair the property values within the neighborhood. The multi-tenant building is currently occupied by a variety of businesses including restaurant uses, hair salons, a laundromat, and other retail uses. The Subject Property is directly adjacent to Cricket Wireless and Hero’s Barbershop LLC. The Subject Property is an individual suite within a greater multi-tenant strip mall building, allowing for some separation in uses. 3. The establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. App. No. 2022-006 PC 11/10/2022 Page 7 The establishment of the special use should not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding properties for uses permitted in the district. The Subject Property is currently surrounded by like-zoned C2 (Commerce) District properties, with C1 and C1A (Service/Office) District office and hotel properties located across Summit Drive on the north, and the Hennepin County Government Service Center and Brookdale Library located across Shingle Creek Parkway to the west. The proposed location of the adult daycare facility is within an existing building and the surrounding area is currently developed with other retail and office buildings. The Subject Property, and all properties directly adjacent to the Subject Property, are within the City’s Central Commerce Overlay District. 4. Adequate measurements have been or will be taken to provide ingress, egress, and parking so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. As previously mentioned, the Applicant contacted the City Building Official to discuss preliminary plans regarding the potential use of the suite. Formal architectural plans have not yet been submitted or reviewed. Building Official discussions provided information to the Applicant regarding potential modifications to provide sufficient ingress/egress through the addressing of door swings, door hardware, and exit signage. Additional approval from the Hennepin County Health Department is required for the proposed prep kitchen area. City Building permits may be required for any anticipated remodeling, including electrical, mechanical, and framing work. Parking for the Subject Property is part of a shared off-street parking lot for the entirety of the parcel consisting of the multi-tenant building it is located within. The parcel meets the parking requirements set forth for an approximately 32,400-square foot multi-tenant retail building. ADA compliant parking stalls are included in the shared parking lot. The Applicant anticipates three staff on site during operational hours, and one on-call staff, although these staffing ratios will need to be confirmed as part of their licensing. Clients of the adult day care facility will be picked up from their residences and dropped off at the front entrance, minimizing the need for parking during operational hours. 5. The special use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. Per the submitted preliminary plans, the Applicant has no intention to alter the exterior of the building in such a way to render the building or site non-conforming. With regard to the minimum parking requirements, and based on the intended operation of the adult daycare facility, staff is not concerned that sufficient parking will not be provided. However, the shared parking lot will need to be reviewed to ensure sufficient ADA parking required for this as a general City requirement, and City staff may request modified parking stalls to accommodate ADA needs if necessary. Based on staff findings, staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend City Council approval of the requested Special Use Permit for an adult daycare facility for the property located at 6070 Shingle Creek Parkway (Subject Property); subject to the Applicant complying with the comments outlined in the Approval Conditions noted below. APPROVAL CONDITIONS Staff recommends the following conditions be attached to any positive recommendation on the approval App. No. 2022-006 PC 11/10/2022 Page 8 of Application No. 2022-006 for the Subject Property: a.

The Applicant shall provide final plans and submit permit applications for any work to be conducted in the leased space. c. The Applicant shall adhere to the maximum occupancies outlined by City Staff and in accordance with any State licensing requirements for the adult daycare use. d.
