City Manager Curt Boganey extended his thanks to Officer Carlson for ajob well done. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2016-44 Expressing Recognition and Appreciation for the Dedicated Public Service of Officer Keith Carlson. Motion passed unanimously. 8.PUBLIC HEARINGS 8a. CONTINUED PROPOSED SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR WEED REMOVAL COSTS Mr. Boganey introduced the item, discussed the history, and stated the purpose of the proposed resolution. It was noted this item was first read on February 8, 2016; published in the official newspaper on February 18, 2016; offered Public Hearing on March 14, 2016; and is continued this evening. Deputy Director of Building and Community Standards Jesse Anderson summarized the special assessment process to recover unpaid costs through special assessments, and appeal process. He stated the appellant was advised staff would research the situation and provide that report to him and the City Council relating to the findings for 6225 Lee Avenue N. He explained the payment options, if imposed, remain the same. Mr. Anderson reviewed tonight's consideration and presented the appellant's appeal statement and activity summary. He displayed pictures of the subject property showing a condition of long grass as measured by a 12-inch ruler. Mayor Willson stated he sees no reason or mitigating circumstances why this cost should not be forwarded to the County for collection through property taxes. He asked if the appellant is present. Mr. Boganey stated the appellant has been notified so the hearing should be reopened. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to reopen the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. 03/28/16 -4- No one appeared to speak at the Public Hearing. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to close the Public Hearing. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated one of the biggest complaints of residents relates to Code enforcement and it is the responsibility of the City Council to enforce its ordinances and standards. Councilmember Graves asked if there is a requirement for the person filing the complaint to state their name or address so it can be determined whether they are filing excessive complaints. She felt this was a petty complaint of long grass and may have been made by someone who did not like their neighbor. Mr. Boganey stated when an individual files a complaint, staff typically notes the name and address if it is offered. However, if offered that is private data and not available to the general public. He stated there have been times in the past where there have been neighbor disputes, which can result in complaints being filed back and forth. If that is observed, staff typically has conversations with the neighbors and encourages a mediation process so the heart of the issue can be resolved. Motion passed unanimously. 1. RESOLUTION NO. 2016-45 CERTIFYING SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR WEED REMOVAL COSTS TO THE HENNEPIN COUNTY TAX ROLLS Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2016-45 Certifying Special Assessments for Weed Removal Costs to the Hennepin County Tax Rolls. Motion passed unanimously. 8b. MODIFICATION TO REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT NO. 1, ESTABLISHING TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 7 (REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT) THEREIN AND APPROVING A TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN THEREFOR (OPPORTUNITY SITE) Mr. Boganey introduced the item, discussed the history, and stated the purpose of the proposed redevelopment plan modification for Housing Development and Redevelopment Project No. 1 to establish Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District No. 7 relating to the Opportunity Site south of John Martin Drive. It was noted this item was first read on January 25, 2016; published in the official newspaper on March 17, 2016; and, is offered this evening for Public Hearing. Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel reviewed the City Council's past considerations relating to this parcel, noting it has been expanded to include the former Kohl's 03/28/16 -5- site. He presented the finding of the Planning Commission that the creation of a tax increment housing district associated with the planned residential development of the Opportunity Site was consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Eitel displayed a map of the subject site and provided an explanation of the past and intended use for each parcel. He stated this step is necessary for the City to realize the redevelopment potential for this site and listed the future actions that will be considered. Tom Denaway, Assistant Vice President, Springsted, Inc., provided an overview on what is being proposed, definition of TIF, types of TIF Districts, development scenario, boundaries, and how to qualify this area as a Redevelopment TIF District, types of eligible costs, public improvement costs related to redevelopment of the site that are allowed and not allowed, and ways to finance project costs (pay-as-you-go or general obligation tax increment bonds). He explained that tonight the consideration is to create a TIF District, noting decisions on the actual financing will be considered at a future meeting. Mr. Denaway explained the process to create a TIF District, which takes approximately 60 days. He described the Opportunity Site redevelopment project, project boundary, Redevelopment TIF District qualifications as dictated by State Statute and assumptions based on the preliminary development for 749 multi-family units valued at $100,000 per unit; 60 owner-occupied townhome units; and, 10,000 square feet of commercial/retail buildings. Mr. Denaway stated the TIF Plan includes a 2% market value inflation, 10% administrative retainage, and TIF eligible tax rate of 182.571%. It is expected the first receipt of increment will be received in 2019 based on 80% construction occurring in 2017. There would be 26 total receipts with the final receipt occurring in 2044. Mr. Denaway presented the budget authority that could potentially total $54,637.164. He again noted that the action tonight would establish the TIF District, not approve or authorize financing. Councilmember Ryan stated once the City's property is sold to the developer and goes back on line, it will provide immediate benefit. He noted that should there be one significant development in this area that goes above the certified value, there could be a substantial increment. Mr. Denaway explained the increment will be generated on the growth in market value. Once the project comes on completely, the base value will be increased and the future growth above and over the base creates the additional incremental revenue. Councilmember Ryan noted that will provide revenue that can then fund additional redevelopment activities. Councilmember Graves expressed concern with the high interest expenses and asked if there will be ways that cost can be lowered. Mr. Denaway stated the actual interest rate will be based on the type of financing used. Mayor Willson stated if bonds are sold, investors hold those bonds and will want a return on those dollars being borrowed to the City. Mr. Denaway stated they anticipate the bonds will be issued as tax exempt, allowing the City to enter the market at the lowest interest rate possible. Jenny Boulton, Kennedy and Graven, TIF consultant, indicated she is available to answer questions, if any. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to open the Public Hearing. 03/28/16 -6- Motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. 1. RESOLUTION NO. 2016-46 APPROVING MODIFICATION TO REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT NO. 1, ESTABLISHING TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 7 (REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT) THEREIN AND APPROVING A TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN THEREFOR (OPPORTUNI FY SITE) Councilmember Graves moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2016-46 Approving Modification to Redevelopment Plan for Housing Development and Redevelopment Project No. 1, Establishing Tax Increment Financing District No. 7 (Redevelopment District) Therein and Approving a Tax Increment Financing Plan Therefor (Opportunity Site). Motion passed unanimously. 8c. ORDINANCE NO 2016-02 AMENDING CHAPTER 12 OF THE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES RELATING TO LIMITING THE RESIDENCY LOCATION OF CERTAIN PREDATORY OFFENDERS Police Chief Gannon introduced the item, discussed the history, and stated the purpose of the proposed ordinance to limit residency locations for Level III predatory offenders. It was noted this item was first read on February 22, 2016; published in the official newspaper on March 3, 2016; and, is offered this evening for Public Hearing. Police Chief Gannon reviewed the number of notification meetings held by year, from 2008 to 2015. He explained there are typically one to two Level III PORs living in Brooklyn Center at any time. When Hennepin County Probation implemented a restrictive zip code policy that precluded Level III sex offenders on probation from living in areas of Minneapolis, it impacted five of the six current Level Ills living in Brooklyn Center, potentially quadrupling the number of Level III sex offenders in the City at one time. Police Chief Gannon reviewed the City's finding and intent that repeat predatory offenders present a threat to the public safety of the community as a whole, especially children. As the cost of predatory offender victimization to society at large is steep, the City has a compelling interest in promoting, protecting, and improving the health, safety, and general welfare of its citizens. He explained that this ordinance, if adopted, would allow the City to prohibit certain predatory offenders from establishing residency in certain locations where children are known to regularly congregate in concentrated numbers. He referenced several studies finding that areas 03/28/16 -7- where sexual offenders are registered to live results in a direct negative impact on property values in surrounding neighborhoods. Police Chief Gannon stated Brooklyn Center has received a disproportionate number of Level III predatory offenders as compared with other cities within Hennepin County. He read the definitions contained within the proposed ordinance and presented Option #1 making it unlawful for any designated predatory offender to establish residence within 2,000 feet of any school, child care facility, or public playground. Police Chief Gannon displayed a map depicting areas of exception for schools, parks, and day cares. Police Chief Gannon then presented Option #2, making it unlawful for any designated predatory offender to establish residence within 2,000 feet of any school, child care facility, public playground, or the permanent residence of another designated predatory offender. All the penalties and exceptions would apply to both options. Police Chief Gannon presented the executive summary of an Action Research Team Study completed in August of 2015 indicating: 'The team did not find evidence to support the notion that the Minnesota Department of Corrections (MnDOC), specifically 'places' offenders in concentrated communities or any other areas. Rather, this seems to be a by-product of current Statute, MnDOC policy, and housing market. Lack of intentionality does not lessen the potentially disparate impact of predatory offender concentration in neighborhoods with high rates of poverty and majority people of color.' Mayor Willson stated he is glad the Police Chief came across this and the background history that resulted in the City discovering a Level III sex offender living in Brooklyn Center that had not registered and then discovering the Minneapolis zip code restrictions and resulting impact on Brooklyn Center. Mayor Willson stated Brooklyn Center has an abundance of low-income housing, which exacerbates the situation. He stated this issue has been well researched and he is supportive of Option 2 as it is similar to the House and Senate Files. Councilmember Graves concurred, noting Option 1 leaves space in a neighborhood that already has four Level III sex offenders. However, with Option 2 that includes a restriction on proximity between Level III sex offenders, that neighborhood is no longer an option. Mayor Willson agreed it makes sense to look at proximity of Level III sex offenders to each other. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson described the distribution of Level III sex offenders within Hennepin County, noting the western side has zero Level III sex offenders. Currently, there are 154 Level III sex offenders in Hennepin County with 138 in Minneapolis and 16 in Hennepin County cities other than Minneapolis. She pointed out that if the Brooklyn Center moratorium had not been passed, the City would have had 8 of the current 16, or 50% of all offenders outside of Minneapolis living in Brooklyn Center. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated her support for Option 2 and commended Police Chief Gannon for his action, noting there is lack of equity of distribution throughout Hennepin County. Mayor Willson stated Brooklyn Center is a City of 30,000 people, or 4% of Hennepin County, not 50%, which is very telling as well. 03/28/16 -8- Councilmember Ryan stated he echoes the sentiments of his colleagues and believes it is a question of Brooklyn Center being dealt with fairly and equitably in relation to this issue. He stated the number of Level III sex offenders in Brooklyn Center is disproportionately large when considering the City's population in relation to Hennepin County. Councilmember Ryan referenced the executive summary of the Minneapolis study as read earlier by Police Chief Gannon that did a good job of summarizing the negative effect of excluding Level III sex offenders living in certain Minneapolis zip codes. He noted a survey of offenders indicated they determined Brooklyn Center was the next best choice. Councilmember Ryan read a finding statement of the Minneapolis study and asked Police Chief Gannon whether he was in agreement with those findings. Police Chief Gannon stated he would agree with that. Councilmember Ryan stated he supports Option 2. Mayor Willson stated the City has 80-85% of affordable housing and is also following up with a complaint on how affordable housing is distributed across the metro area, noting other first-ring suburbs have a very low number density of affordable housing. He stated this issue also comes into play with the disproportionate number and location of affordable housing. Mayor Willson stated the question is whether excluding certain zip codes is a strategy to push Level III sex offenders farther north into Brooklyn Center, which is an injustice to Brooklyn Center and the City Council plans to bring it to everyone's attention. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to open the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. No one appeared to speak at the Public Hearing. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. City Attorney Troy Gilchrist recommended updating the child care facility reference from 'Minnesota Department of Public Welfare' to 'Minnesota Department of Human Services.' Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 2016-02 Amending Chapter 12 of the City Code of Ordinances Relating to Limiting the Residency Location of Certain Predatory Offenders for Option 2 with correction to the State Department reference as recommended by City Attorney Gilchrist and referenced above. Motion passed unanimously. 9. PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS None. 03/28/16 -9- 10. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS lOa. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 12, SECTION 12-901, OF THE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES; LIMITING THE DENSITY OF RENTAL HOUSING IN THE CITY Mr. Boganey introduced the item, discussed the history, and recommended the City Council remove this item from the table, approve First Reading, and set Second Reading and Public Hearing for April 25, 2016. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to remove this item from the table. Motion passed unanimously. Mr. Anderson provided an overview of the ordinance to restrict density of rental properties in the City. He presented a summary of conditions relating to the number of single-family and rental housing units, police calls for service, and rental density using census blocks that would be affected by the proposed density requirement. Mr. Anderson presented a City map depicting the location of rental properties, pointing out areas of higher density. The ordinance would set a 30% density, define a neighborhood, set exceptions, and allow for a temporary one-year license in areas that exceed the density requirements. Mr. Anderson advised of the four cities that already have density requirements and described potential impacts, benefits, and costs. He then presented next steps should the City Council move this ordinance forward. Councilmember Graves asked about the thought process for the one-year temporary license. Mr. Boganey stated it is essentially because situations occur when a person, for some reason, needs to vacate their home. This allows the ability for that person to rent the property and have it occupied while they get their affairs in order and/or find a purchaser for the property. Councilmember Graves asked about a family member who wants to sell to another family member on a rent-to-own basis. Mayor Willson stated there is not an instrument for 'rental for deed' so that would be considered as a contract for deed. City Attorney Gilchrist stated there are a number of arrangements including contract for deed and life estates. Councilmember Ryan stated he is pleased to see a set of conditions to allow for temporary rental licenses that will give flexibility for the City Council to consider situations that could occur and keep the property occupied. Mayor Willson agreed, noting there are life events that occur and it would allow one year to work on the sale of the property. Councilmember Ryan asked if the ordinance allows the City Council discretion should the owner not be able to sell the home. City Attorney Gilchrist advised the temporary rental exception has criteria that must be met to be eligible to rent on a temporary basis. Mayor Willson stated there are a handful of issues he receives calls on and this is one of them. 03/28/16 -10- Residents who have lived in Brooklyn Center for years see what happens to rental properties on their block and are concerned with their own home values. Mayor Willson stated neighborhood groups have also gotten involved and take great pride in the appearance of their block. Councilmember Graves stated her support for this ordinance and noted she has heard from real estate agents about this regulation but not that there is a lack of rental properties. She supported providing options that are balanced. Councilmember Ryan agreed and stated the key notion is to support single-family home ownership in City neighborhoods, which is the bedrock of the community. He stated he has seen firsthand the negative impact resulting from lack of investment in rental properties, not maintaining properties to Code, and potential increase of petty crime due to irresponsible management by landlords. He noted that is reactive and stated it is essential Brooklyn Center be proactive and in front of these issues. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to approve First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 12, Section 12-901, of the City Code of Ordinances; Limiting the Density of Rental Housing in the City and set second reading and Public Hearing for April 25, 2016. Mayor Willson commented on the City's past action to remain 'ahead of the curve' to maintain the City's housing stock and create great neighborhoods. Councilmember Ryan stated should this ordinance be approved, it does not mean the City will not allow additional single-family homes as rentals. It just addresses the concentration of rentals within a neighborhood. The City Council discussed the importance of providing a variety of housing stock including affordable starter homes. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated there are currently no rentals on her block but when there was, they experienced illegal activity with many police calls. She agreed that blight brings blight and home improvement brings a cycle of additional home and property improvements. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated the improvement to the City's housing stock is a direct result of the City's diligence and she supports the ordinance. Mr. Boganey stated all are familiar with the disparities that exist between wealth, people of color, and others. In addition, all know the primary basis of wealth for most Americans is the home they own. So, to the extent possible in Brooklyn Center where there is a diverse population, preserving homes for ownership and transfer of wealth from parents to children makes a significant impact on that disparity in terms of wealth. Councilmember Graves stated her agreement and noted that is how she ended up in Brooklyn Center as she was able to purchase a home she could afford. Motion passed unanimously. 11.
