At this time, the request is to increase the-per-year-of-service benefit from $3,800 to $4,200, which is supported by a financial analysis performed by PERA. Council asked clarifying questions on the pension structure for all the City’s Firefighters and the benefit level. Council discussed and supported the request, and asked staff to bring to the next regular City Council meeting. Council was comfortable including the item on the Consent Agenda. Fund Balance Review: Finance Director Rueckert reviewed the staff presentation included a review of the City’s Fund Balance policy which established a framework for initially prioritizing fund balance transfers. Staff recommends maintaining a 47.5% target General Fund balance level and transferring $60,000 to the Park Improvement Fund and $45,950 to the Community Center Fund to support funding known replacements and maintenance items. Council supported the recommendation and a resolution to approve the transfers will be included in the agenda for the first meeting in December, 2023. Future Work Sessions: Next Work Session will be held on September 12th, 2023, at 5:45pm in the Council Chambers. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 6:31 p.m. Respectfully submitted by Charlie Yunker, City Manager. THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK MEMORANDUM To:Mayor Stille and St. Anthony Village City Council From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner Date:September 21, 2023 Meeting Date:Work Session September 26, 2023 RE:St. Anthony – Single Family Rental GC Project No.140.00 Background As a part of the City’s ongoing examination of rental residential property, and affordable housing goals overall, the City Council directed a further discussion of issues related to single family rental housing in St. Anthony as a part of its 2023 Goal Setting. This memorandum and materials is intended to support that discussion with the state of rental housing in the community, and options for further consideration. The intent of the Work Session is to focus the City’s consideration of, or additional research into, specific options for addressing rental housing regulations or policies. The following aspects of rental housing are explored: 1.Low Density housing (1-3 units) occupied by renters. 2.Single Family detached housing occupied by renters. 3.Low Density housing utilized for short term rental (defined as occupancies of less than 30 days). 4.Programs working toward affordability related to low-density housing, including Housing Trusts. Included with this material are two maps that identify (1) the location of parcels with rental housing licenses, and (2) the specific parcels that hold single family homes with rental licenses. Accompanying the maps is a summary of the license-holders and addresses for all rental residential properties – this list includes both detached and attached housing from 1 to 3 units and excludes any multi-family properties of 4 or more units. Work Session - September 26, 2023 Page 2 The materials and research from prior analyses showed that the City’s housing stock in this low- density category totals about 4 percent of that stock as rental. Existing Rental Housing. Currently, rental housing in St. Anthony is licensed. The purpose of the current licensing program is to ensure that residences held out for rent meet standard life- safety requirements. Licenses are required for any rental property, and include an annual inspection. The license fee is $150 for single family properties. For the most recent year, just over 90 owners held licenses to 113 individual units (not including multi-family buildings of 4 or more units, or mobile home rentals). More than 60 of those own and rent just one building in the City. Only a couple dozen individuals/entities own more than one unit, most of which own two, with the largest rental land holder currently renting 4 individual single family homes. This is from a single family housing stock of just under 2,100 single family homes. Specific to Single Family detached homes, the second map illustrates the single family licensees on the zoning map. A total of 54 single family detached homes are being rented of the 113 units totals. There are 3 instances of 2 adjoining single family homes being rented, and 1 instance where 3 contiguous parcels hold rental units. The remaining 45 units are spread throughout the community. In looking separately at where the owners of rental properties are located, about one-third of the owners are St. Anthony residents or entities, with another third of owners being located in adjoining and nearby communities, including Minneapolis, New Brighton, Fridley, Columbia Heights, and Roseville. The remaining third of owners are located elsewhere (mostly metro Twin Cities). Just five of the approximately 90 rental property owners are located out of state. Single Family Rental Regulation. In the general marketplace, there has been a trend in some areas in which larger companies buy up (or develop) larger numbers of single family homes and hold them for rentals. The concerns raised by this trend relate primarily to an erosion of home ownership, and concerns over widespread maintenance problems or tenancy turnover. Home ownership has long been a goal for many communities, as it has an extensive history of improving neighborhood stability, and a series of other benefits that lead to stronger citizenship and community strength. As a result, some communities have adopted regulations that limit the number of rental units in the community. In many of these examples, the regulations limit the number of rental units by geographic area. The idea behind these limitations is to avoid an over-concentration of rental housing in a particular area, with the goal being to ensure that ownership remains the dominant form of occupancy in any particular neighborhood. This approach to rental housing has been subject to legal challenges in a number of Minnesota communities. Most significantly, the City of Winona adopted an ordinance limiting the number Work Session - September 26, 2023 Page 3 of single family rental units that could occupy any block to a maximum of 30%. The City noted that the overconcentration of rental units had been observed to have a negative impact on housing maintenance, and other observable conditions in areas dominated by rental occupancy. Winona withstood a legal challenge, despite some sympathetic challengers. The case went to the Minnesota Court of Appeals, which ruled that because the City could identify specific benefits to protecting public health, safety, and welfare, the regulation was justifiable. Because this is the general standard of review for land use cases, the Court’s determination is likely to be applicable to other similar regulations. In the past, the generally applicable rule in land use was that a city could not discriminate between rental- and owner-occupied housing. The essential element was the land use and its density, not the identity of the residents. The Winona cases have turned this over in some ways. Because the State Supreme Court dismissed a subsequent appeal due to the original affected complainants no longer being in ownership by the time the case got to that Court, it is unclear if there is any further legal challenge to Winona’s approach. Thus, if St. Anthony wished to adopt limiting regulations as to the number of single family rentals, there is a path to creating those regulations. Because “owner-occupied” housing can take many forms, there are not likely to be other ways to distinguish between occupants. Corporate ownership occurs occasionally to allow owner-occupants to include their housing in estate planning options. This is same as trust-ownership or family-member ownership (both of which can qualify as “homestead” properties under Minnesota’s real estate tax policy. Large-Scale Single Family Rental Development. A related single family rental issue that get attention includes development-designed single family rental projects. This development style creates single family homes on a large, coordinated scale. These projects are designed to be rented and managed by a common owner. Woodbury and Albertville, for example, are two locations in the Twin Cities area where this development style has been proposed. Because this model is occurring on undeveloped lands, this development pattern is not likely applicable to St. Anthony. The issues are the same as other non-owner occupied housing however. Short-Term Single Family Rental (AirBnB, VRBO, etc.). A separate issue often raised in the SF Rental discussion is that of short-term (“Vacation”) rental. This is defined by the State of Minnesota as rental periods of less than 30 days. Short-term rental is not considered a residential use of property, but rather is technically a lodging use. While the State of Minnesota regulations commercial lodging, they are not currently enforcing their licensing provisions on short-term rental housing. Many local communities have chosen to separately regulate license short-term rental housing, with some communities prohibiting the use in residential zones. The latter approach is based Work Session - September 26, 2023 Page 4 on a determination that short-term rental is a commercial lodging use, rather than a residential use of property. In a search by staff, 3 homes were found on the most popular websites to be listed as St. Anthony locations, and 2 others listed rooms for rent (rather than the entire property). The City has not received complaints related to short term rental at this time. Roseville, on the other hand, recently acted to prohibit new applications for short-term rental units. A copy of Roseville’s “Short Term Rental Brochure” is attached to this report for information on that city’s licensing program for previously existing short term rental units. Roseville enacted its prohibition after a series of complaints about certain units being used as “party houses”, disrupting neighborhoods, and concerns over ongoing maintenance, trash, noise, and other issues. They continue to study the issue to identify ways that the City can amend its licensing and enforcement process to eliminate problems they have encountered. As a part of the decision to prohibit new licenses, Roseville agreed to continue licensing current operators, but additional regulation is expected. Housing Affordability – Housing Trusts. The Council previously indicated an interest in exploring options for affordable housing creation, including the use of a Housing Trust option. A Housing Trust is a non-profit organization that leverages its funding to create affordability in local housing through various policy approaches. Funding is generated through donations, grants, and community (usually HRA) property tax levies. A common approach is for the Housing Trust to purchase market-rate housing, then re-sell to qualified low-to-moderate income buyers, but retain the underlying land in trust. The resale price excludes the land value, and often reduces the sale price by 20% or sometimes more. Public Housing Trusts are described in the attached brochure from the Minnesota Housing Partnership. As the brochure highlights, 13 Minnesota cities and 7 counties have established these trusts as of this past spring. Hennepin County is included in this group. A related group “Homes Within Reach” – a program of the West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust includes a significant amount of information on its website, including a Frequently Asked Questions page at https://homeswithinreach.org/wp/faq-2/ The Housing/Land Trust concept addresses housing affordability and home ownership, rather than rental housing per se. The intent of these programs are to create or preserve affordability of housing, dependent on the focus and policies of the communities involved, which may vary widely. Work Session - September 26, 2023 Page 5 Summary The information provided in this memorandum is for discussion and direction to staff for follow-up. No specific action is requested at this time. The following specific questions may be helpful in identifying further follow-up. 1.Should the City research and consider regulation of single family (or low-density housing) units to limit total rentals in the community? 2.Should the City research and consider regulation of single family (or low-density housing) units in specific areas of the community? 3.Should the City research and consider regulation of short-term rentals through licensing, or possibly prohibition? 4.Should the City pursue participation in a Housing Land Trust option for affordable ownership, and if so, with what goals and objectives?

They are a consistent, flexible resource for housing within a local jurisdiction. Trust funds help communities leverage public and private resources and jumpstart projects that draw investment and jobs. LHTFs enable prioritizing developments that maximize benefit to the community. In 2017, the Minnesota Legislature defined a LHTF in law, providing clarity to assist local jurisdiction with housing investments. In 2021, to incentivize LHTFs, they authorized a state match fund of $1 million, providing a one-to-one match on the first $150,000 of new revenue invested in housing trust funds by cities and counties, and a one-to-two match on the next $150,000 of available funds. Since 2017, Minnesota has seen a steady increase in LHTFs, as 20 cities and counties across the state have adopted them, with more on the way. This report includes information from MHP’s third annual survey of cities and counties regarding LHTF. 1 Benefits of LHTFs Leverage private dollars Provide flexibility to meet local needs Encourage local contributions Establish dedicated sources of revenue February 2023 Local Housing Trust Funds by the numbers: 20 Number of LHTFs in MN 2023 2017 35 $75,000 $10,000,000+ Range of Fund Sizes Communities Interested in LHTFs From big to small, rural to metro, LHTFs can serve the housing needs of communities of all types and sizes.

The partnership came together after Mayor Larson and city staff, along with LISC Duluth, attended a National League of Cities’ training on housing and health equity. Upon his return, Mayor Larson established the Mayor’s Housing Task Force, which issued a 2020 report including recommendation for a housing trust fund. The partnership has resulted in a HTF established by the city, LISC Duluth, and other partners, with initial funds of $16 million: approximately $4 million to be administered by the city and $12 million administered by LISC Duluth. A committee appointed by Mayor Emily Larson and confirmed by the Duluth city council provides oversight and recommendations on HTF applications, both those administered by the City and those by LISC Duluth. Funds have already been allocated to several projects. The unique partnership between the City of Duluth and LISC Duluth has provided resources for a broader range of housing goals. The City and LISC Duluth have different purposes for their funds. City of Duluth funds primarily help projects get started, including options for revolving funds to provide construction financing to projects experiencing short-term funding gaps. LISC Duluth intends to focus funds it administers in big multifamily developments and other large projects. “Having unique objectives for the funds administered by the City and LISC is helpful, as there are so many important but competing priorities in housing. This approach allows funds to better support our significant housing needs in Duluth through multiple strategies focused on a range of housing types,” says Adam Fulton, Deputy Director, Planning and Economic Development Department, City of Duluth.

While the fund was initially created to provide rental assistance to households impacted by COVID-19, in 2021 the city received special legislation to transfer the existing balance of “pooled” tax increment, approximately $5 million, to its HTF for expanded affordable housing opportunity. The special legislation allowed the city to diversify the level of affordability beyond the requirements under TIF law. Currently, Minnetonka’s AHTF has approximately $7 million. Accomplishments to date include assisting 187 households with up to $1,500 in rental assistance, ensuring deeper affordability for more units in three large mixed-income rental properties, and providing emergency assistance to households at risk of homelessness. Plans for 2023 include expanding a down-payment assistance program. Chisago County Population: 57,469 “Having the Housing Trust Fund in our toolbox has been getting the attention of developers and we are optimistic to have projects underway in the near future.”— Nancy Hoffman, Chisago County HRA-EDA Photo: Multifamily housing building in Minnetonka, MN Chisago County adopted its HTF in 2021, with a focus on workforce housing for moderate, low and very low-income residents and households. The County designated the Chisago County HRA/EDA as the fund administrator, a good fit as the HRA/EDA brings extensive experience in developing, managing, and owning affordable properties. The HRA/EDA funded the HTF from its existing budget, with an initial fund of $150,000. It has now grown to $556,000, with funds added in 2022 and 2023 from HRA/EDA-owned housing that generates revenue. The HRA/EDA is also soliciting gifts, grants, and donations by corporations or individuals and may add proceeds from future sale of HRA/EDA parcels. According to Nancy Hoffman, Executive Director of the Chisago County HRA-EDA, “In our area (Chisago County) it can be difficult to attract affordable housing developers because we are just far enough out of the metro area that they cannot get the rents to make the project cash flow as they can just a few miles away.” Libby Murphy, Director of Policy, State Legislative Lead libby.murphy@mhponline.org : : 612-716-9703 Elizabeth Glidden, Deputy Executive Director elizabeth.glidden@mhponline.org : : 612-396-2288 MHP is an equal opportunity provider. mhponline.org. ©2023 Minnesota Housing Partnership CONTACT US Note: Sources and uses for LHTFs, and other details, are identified in this report to the best of our ability.
