A.June 9th, 2026, City Council Work Session Minutes Motion by Councilmember Randle, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve the City Council Work Session Minutes of June 9th, 2026, as presented. Motion carried 4-0. 2.Work Session Topics. A.2050 Comprehensive Plan Overview Assistant City Manager Morello noted that the Comprehensive Plan is updated every 10 years. She commented that this is a large undertaking, which they are beginning now. Assistant City Manager Morello highlighted that Sector Representative Turnquest will oversee the Metropolitan Council’s role, including its criteria and requirements. She informed the Council that they would end by discussing the next steps specifically for the Council. Sector Representative Turnquest stated that her role within the Met Council is as a Sector Representative and Planning Analyst within Local Planning Assistance in Community Development. She provided information about the Met Council’s role and noted that they coordinate planning for 181 townships and cities. She presented an overview of the 10-Year Regional Planning Cycle Chart. Sector Representative Turnquest shared the exact language of the statute establishing the Metropolitan Land Planning Act and noted that it emphasizes community-to-community compatibility. She discussed the plan's role, including setting the community vision, guiding growth and development, identifying key issues, and more. Sector Representative Turnquest informed the Council that all Comprehensive Plans must include the eight elements: Land Use, Housing, Transportation, Water Resources, Parks and Trails, Climate, Natural Systems, and Implementation. She provided a slide outlining the clear minimum requirements for these elements. She informed the Council that these requirements are supported by the Met Council, including the Local Planning Handbook and Local Planning Assistance Team, to help 3 June 23rd, 2026 Saint Anthony Council Work Session - 2 address them. She reviewed the Sector Representative Program and stated that she is the Sector Representative for St. Anthony. Mayor Webster expressed appreciation for Councilmember Jenson’s long service to the Council and his historical knowledge. She stated that Councilmember Jenson was present for the previous Comprehensive Plan update. She thanked Sector Representative Turnquest for the thorough presentation. Councilmember Randle asked if all municipalities are required to be a part of the Metropolitan Council. Sector Representative Turnquest stated that two communities in the Metro area are not included, one of which is Fort Snelling. Councilmember Jenson asked if the minimum plan requirement information is located on the Metropolitan Council website or the St. Anthony website. Sector Representative Turnquest stated that it is the Met Council website, but each page is tailored to each community, including St. Anthony. Councilmember Jenson noted that one “Role of the Plan” was to provide reasoning for public facilities plans and budgets. He asked whether this sets a requirement to provide a detailed account of why the Council would like to issue an action. Sector Representative Turnquest confirmed this is the case. Councilmember Jenson reminded the Council that their role as City leaders is to look for opportunities under the guidance of the Met Council. He commented that what they do will not make major changes to the state, but they must still look for every possible opportunity. He noted that it will be difficult not to be influenced by surrounding communities, but that he is looking forward to the development process of the Comprehensive Plan. Councilmember Doolan stated that she serves on the Land Use Advisory Commission for the Met Council. She expressed that this has improved her understanding of why the Met Council requests that cities undergo this process, which is partly to improve planning for sewer systems, which they help provide. She noted that her experience with the Met Council has given her a preview of some of the tools they use to analyze demographic data across cities. She thanked Sector Representative Turnquest and the Metropolitan Council for providing these tools. Councilmember Doolan asked what the differences between Sector Representative Turnquest’s role and Reva Chamblis’ role are. She stated that she believed Sector Representative Turnquest’s role would be to work with City Planners to answer their questions and guide them through the tool sets. Sector Representative Turnquest confirmed that this will be part of her role and that she would like to be their first point of contact for questions. She highlighted that she is prepared to leverage all of Met Council’s resources to assist Saint Anthony in this process. Assistant City Manager Morello noted that she and City Planner Grittman have previously met with Sector Representative Turnquest, and that this has been a longstanding and fruitful partnership. Councilmember Doolan noted that she held a role in the City during the previous Comprehensive Planning process. She expressed excitement for community engagement during this process. Councilmember Jenson stated that he was the Council Liaison during the last Comprehensive Plan. He highlighted that the previous Council provided many presentations outlining their progress on the Comprehensive Plan and allowed comments on them. He noted that many comments had been 4 June 23rd, 2026 Saint Anthony Council Work Session - 3 collected and encouraged the Council to focus on communicating with residents and emphasizing that the Council is listening to their feedback. Councilmember Doolan commented that she assumed St. Anthony would apply for the Met Council grant for smaller cities to help cover the expenses of the planning process. Assistant City Manager Morello stated that this is correct. Assistant City Manager Morello provided an overview of the cover memo provided to the Council. She noted that this was intended to break down the Comprehensive Plan's complex process into clearer next steps for the Council. She stated that there will be a joint Work Session next week with the Planning Commission and the Parks and Environmental Commission. Assistant City Manager Morello highlighted that this session will focus on community outreach for the Comprehensive Plan. She noted that Sector Representative Turnquest was present to discuss the technical aspects of the plan, whereas the next session will aim to balance this with community needs and desires. Assistant City Manager Morello informed the Council that St. Anthony will seek a consultant to assist with the Comprehensive Plan process, given the significant time and dedication required. She stated they will also have a Steering Committee, consisting of representatives from the Council, Planning Commission, and Parks and Environmental Commission, to guide the development of the Comprehensive Plan and work closely with the Consultant. Assistant City Manager Morello informed the Council that the cover memo contains information surrounding the Met Council timeline requirements. She advised the Council that there will be a Public Hearing on the final Comprehensive Plan and an opportunity to share the final draft with surrounding cities. Assistant City Manager Morello addressed Councilmember Doolan’s earlier point surrounding the Met Council Planning Assistance Grant and stated that Staff is preparing to apply for this grant. Councilmember Randle explained that he joined the Council when the previous Comprehensive Plan was drafted. He asked what would happen if they were not approved for the previously mentioned grant. Sector Representative Turnquest noted that these are non-competitive grants and that all applications are funded. Councilmember Jenson commented on the schedule. He clarified that the final draft is due December 2028, and that the rough draft, which needs to be reviewed, is due six months prior. Councilmember Doolan explained the Met Council's process for determining grant eligibility based on city classifications and noted that the Met Council has thoroughly detailed these criteria, so there is little risk of not being awarded a grant. Mayor Webster expressed her gratitude to the State and Met Council for their support during the arduous Comprehensive Planning process. She acknowledged the very short timeline for producing a rough draft, given the required community engagement processes. Councilmember Randle stated that he feels that the Metropolitan Council puts undue pressure on cities to carry out processes without providing information on how they will be funded. He noted that this process is difficult for small cities with little funding. He explained that he feels relieved given the explanation from Sector Representative Turnquest, but that his concerns are not gone. Councilmember Doolan highlighted that the Met Council provides a group of planners who directly assist small cities with fewer resources. Sector Representative Turnquest stated that this is correct and that these cities are a part of the Small Communities Planning Program. 5 June 23rd, 2026 Saint Anthony Council Work Session - 4 Mayor Webster expressed appreciation for the Metropolitan Council's provision of different levels of support to address varying needs across cities of different sizes. Assistant City Manager Morello noted that one purpose of this session was to inform the Council about resources the Met Council provides, such as the Local Planning Handbook. City Planner Grittman commented that he has been in a city planning role for several Comprehensive Plans. He noted that much of the data provided by the Metropolitan Council was previously collected independently by cities, and the new mapping and data they provide greatly aid cities, at least in the technical aspects. City Planner Grittman stated that, for planners, the Comprehensive Plan is a document that details the kind of community they would like to have; the rest of the document supports this and flows into the implementation and controls. He noted it is easy to lose track of the vision, but that the goal of the next few years should be to confirm the vision you set out with. He encouraged the Council not to lose sight of its original vision amid the technicalities and numbers. City Planner Grittman highlighted that the unique, in-depth goal-setting session that St. Anthony conducts annually provides a good jumping-off point for this aspect of planning. Mayor Webster thanked City Planner Grittman for the encouragement and noted the importance of seeking community feedback as they pursue their goals for the City. Councilmember Jenson noted that he recently attended a presentation from another Met Council employee, outlining the Comprehensive Planning process. He asked if Sector Representative Turnquest provided this presentation. She stated that she did not. Councilmember Doolan acknowledged the value of Councilmember Randle’s critiques of the regulations that the Metropolitan Council brings to cities. She noted that cities can push back against statistics published by the Met Council and that the Met Council's commissions are made up of representatives from surrounding communities, including small cities, who are sensitive to overregulation. She stated that she believed the Met Council provides a good avenue for pushback from communities that disagree with its regulations. She noted that within her own Land Use Commission, another member is a staunch advocate for reducing regulations. Councilmember Randle emphasized the importance of voicing his concerns and said he appreciated having a representative from the Metropolitan Council to whom he could direct questions. He noted that the Comprehensive Planning process is a large undertaking for most cities. He stated that St. Anthony can complete the process. Still, if someone is mandating that a task be completed, the individual enforcing the mandate should assist in completing the project. Mayor Webster concurred with City Planner Grittman’s earlier description of the planning process. She noted that this planning process helps the Met Council understand the future needs of the many cities it serves. Councilmember Doolan expressed hope that the tools that the Metropolitan Council provides will alleviate a significant burden from the City in the planning process. Councilmember Jenson thanked City Planner Grittman for complimenting the St. Anthony strategic plan process. He stated that the Council should aim to balance what they are capable of with attempting to do the most good possible for their community. 6 June 23rd, 2026 Saint Anthony Council Work Session - 5 Councilmember Doolan asked whether there are elements of the Comprehensive Plan that the Steering Committee will discuss before they go before the Planning Commission for full discussion. Assistant City Manager Morello noted that there could be checkpoints at which information is brought before the Planning Commission or City Council, but that this is at their discretion. Mayor Webster thanked the Staff and Sector Representative Turnquest for the information and for answering all of the questions from the Council. She thanked Sector Representative Turnquest directly for her personal assistance to their community. 3.Future Work Session Dates, Times, and Agenda Items A.Future Agenda Items Mayor Webster stated that the joint Work Session with the Planning Commission and the Parks and Environmental Commission will be on June 30th. 4.Adjournment Mayor Webster adjourned the meeting. The meeting adjourned at 6:18 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Samina Crabtree TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc. 7 CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY JOINT WORK SESSION MINUTES JUNE 30, 2026 ROLL CALL: Mayor & Council: Councilmembers Thomas Randle (Mayor Pro Tem), Jan Jenson, Nadia Elnagdy, Lona Doolan Absent: Mayor Wendy Webster Planning Commission: Commissioners Jeanette Fleming, Michael Corneille, Barbara Anderson, Minerva Hark, Mike Mayne Absent: Chair Meredith Socha, Commissioner Libby Christu Parks and Environmental Commission: Chair Natalie Warren, Commissioners Jill Carey, Yaacoub Hark, Joanne Cady, Kristen Peterson Absent: none Staff: City Manager Charlie Yunker Assistant City Manager Ashley Morello City Planner Steve Grittman Sustainability Coordinator Minette Saulog Sustainability Intern Fowzia Warsame CALL TO ORDER: Mayor Pro Tem Randle called the Work Session to order at 5:30 p.m. 1.Work Session Topics A.2050 Comprehensive Plan Planning The focus of the evening’s work session is to have a high-level discussion on the types of community engagement and outreach that the City should pursue as part of the 2050 Comprehensive Plan development process over the next several years. City Planner Grittman, City Manager Yunker and Assistant City Manager Morello provided contextual background and an overview of the comprehensive planning process and goals to set the stage for the discussion. The Metropolitan Council has provided initial materials to support the City in the early stages 8 of planning. This includes a 2025 System Statement, 2050 Minimum Requirements Checklist, and forecasting including maps and other projections. City staff have met with Metropolitan Council to review the content of these materials. Comprehensive Plans are active guidance documents that are used regularly by cities for routine decision-making. It provides insight into growth, development, and redevelopment in the city and is used on a regional scale for the seven-county Metro area. Comprehensive Plans must meet certain quality expectations and content requirements set by Met Council to fulfill their purpose as local plans within a regional network. Data and content are to be prepared using the same category groups. There are 10 required plan categories that will be the core chapters in the plan: land use, housing, transportation, wastewater, water supply, surface water, parks and trails, climate, natural systems, and implementation. The City drafts its own Comprehensive Plan, which is reviewed by the Met Council and neighboring communities to provide input before final adoption by the City. Met Council’s responsibility is to make comments regarding City alignment with the regional 2050 plan, and that expectations are within scope, but they are not the ones to approve or adopt the City’s plan. The City’s draft plan must be ready for community review by Summer 2028 and adopted by the end of 2028. It is common practice to utilize a consultant to draft Comprehensive Plans. The City previously used a consultant for the 2040 Plan development. Staff and consultants handle the writing and technical aspects of plan development, while a Steering Committee ensures the process stays on track and that consultants’ work remains aligned with the City’s goals. Staff are developing the Request for Proposals (RFP) to seek consultant services and will be open later this year. Attendees of this work session are being brought together to learn what types of community engagement should be incorporated with developing this plan. Some communities wish to include additional subject areas in their Plan beyond the required 10 elements required by Met Council, this may come from individual city priorities or feedback from community. There is a need to balance addressing the required chapters as well as including desired local priorities. The key to this is engagement through the community engagement efforts that the City undertakes. The consultant helps decide from the community feedback provided what is suitable for inclusion in the plan. A summary for each discussion topic/question follows. What type of events from the 2040 Comp Plan does the City want to consider for the 2050 Comp Plan? Overall, the group felt the events from the 2040 plan process had good variety and are advocating for similar mix of events. Municipal stores: Good outcomes and large numbers of participation, due to the volume of people going in and out. Meetings in person: For an event at City Hall participants need to show up, so numbers for participation may be lower. Going out in the community and being among the people (similar to Connect with the Council) shows participants being more actively engaged. Maintaining intentionality in efforts is important. Workshops or tabletop exercises from last time were very helpful and allowed for providing feedback. There were also several regional experts in attendance and allows City to incorporate some big picture 9 perspectives. Consider if this community visioning meeting was open to all and if done again, could it be open to all to allow anyone to participate? Online events: A no-brainer option that allows the City to meet people where they are, everyone has an opinion that they could provide. Good opportunity to capture the general population since this is a less- targeted outreach method. Recommend using a more widely utilized or user-friendly online platform. Focus groups: Ability to hold more specific discussions. Conduct interviews on areas such as affordable housing – renters and people who work in but can’t afford to live in Saint Anthony are examples, what would affordable housing look like for you and is there a role for the City to help that along? Schools: work with other student groups beyond specific ones (only Key Club was engaged in the last process), this will allow capturing responses from more kids. Tag along for tabling and sharing information at events at the school (example Wilshire Fun Fest). Parents often wait for kids’ activities to be done at the school, providing a captive audience the City can talk to. What additional engagement should the City consider? Any specific areas of the City or groups? The group values engaging community where they’re at, through online, and in structured forums. The City should leverage existing engagement and activities in town to cast a wide net for responses. Engagement should target several specific demographics and groups. Some that were mentioned include: -Parents with young children/families (ECFE playgroups, etc) -School-age children (sports games and meets) -Youth/adolescents (envisioning future-facing plans and how things could look for them) -Empty nesters/elderly -Immigrant population (previous outreach has been unsuccessful) -Affordable housing niche: businesses and employees who work here, what would they need to be able to afford to live here as well? -Faith communities (series of workshops held at Nativity during the last plan development) There are several resident-based groups in the city that consultants can engage with (Citizens for Sustainability, parent groups, etc). The City should also make efforts to involve regional partners in this process to provide subject matter expertise (Clean Energy Resource Teams, counties, etc). Audiences that the group felt were missing in 2040 plan engagement include: -People attending community-based gatherings -Connecting with black and brown communities that have been hard to reach at previous events, minority population emphasis. o Could there be a volunteer liaison or someone who can help with that? o Use language line resources to connect despite language barriers, have outreach materials in various languages or have translation services. -Facebook surveys and engagement through City’s own accounts, as well as collaborating with other existing social media accounts (e.g. SAV Police, SAV Fire, other partners) Consider balancing quantity vs. quality in seeking responses and during engagement. Ideas shared: 10 -Identify volunteers in the community to empower them to share information about the Comprehensive Plan planning process. The city is a relationship-based place, with many residents having wide networks. This could be structured like a volunteer cohort. -Hold focus groups that invite select residents to participate in a feedback session in a variety of locations, such as a specific apartment complex, or a gathering center frequented by many people in the area. City Manager Yunker mentioned that the City will inevitably receive input from the public which is outside of the Met Council requirements scope. Is there desire to ask the consultant to help manage that additional input? Or is it preferred to stick closely to the Met Council scope? -Comments emphasize that the City should not shut down input from people as it is a once-in-a- decade opportunity. Transparency is key to making it known on the front end that not every piece of feedback received will be part of the plan, and the development process will help manage out-of-scope comments and input. What should digital engagement look like for the 2050 Plan? What types of engagement (surveys, interactive mapping, etc)? Staff posed the question on whether the consultant should prioritize in-person engagement? (As in, digital engagement is for the purpose of directing people to visit/attend other forums.) There is a desire to have both online and in-person methods to provide feedback. Digital engagement is viewed as a supplement to in-person engagement, not a replacement. A mapping activity should be available online. In person, this can look like large map of the City and residents are given color-coded stickers to indicate destinations, areas they would like to see improved, etc. Consider combining non-digital communication with digital platforms, such as sending mailings to every address and household (i.e. Village Notes mailing list) directing and inviting engagement with an online map. Ideally, avoid introducing new apps to participate in providing feedback since this can be a huge barrier for accessibility/usability. An example is that no one in this group knew what “MySidewalk” from the 2040 Plan engagement is/was or looks like, maybe this platform has improved or there is a better platform available. It is also nice to have direct links or QR codes to online platforms, making it easier to promote and share. Additional questions raised by attendees What percentage of residents know about the Met Council and what they do? How do we talk to the public about this to raise awareness of important of the Comp Plan? -Regardless of whether residents understand who the Met Council is and their role, we still want to hear from people. This is where the local context for the plan comes from. Input is helpful even if they won’t be reading the plan cover to cover. -Keep identifying opportunities to get information out to the public about this process, such as in Village Notes. Can also work through volunteers who talk to neighbors and other community members to get the word out to a wider audience. 11 -People will be interested in how their input is being used and where it is going to end up. It may be easier to pose the public question to residents as “how do you envision a better City” and internally be able to categorize those comments in Met Council language. -It could be helpful to have engagement events categorized based on target audience. What is the process for selecting a consultant? -The Request for Proposal (RFP) will be released, inviting interested consultants to submit a proposal outlining their services. Staff will review submittals and conduct interviews with potential consultants. Staff would provide a recommendation to Council to enter an agreement with the recommended consultant. Other details are still to be determined, such as the scope of the process. The population forecast appears to be unchanged from 2040 to 2050, but employment forecast increased significantly. What obligation does the City have to put actionable activity towards making those goals a reality? -The City can challenge the Met Council about any forecast or projection that seems unattainable/unreasonable, and can request documentation supporting the source for that data. -There is no real penalty for not meeting the projections. The City is only responsible for the City Plan, projections outline what Met Council thinks will happen. -Comprehensive Plan updates address how the previous forecast played out, not if the City actually met them. Can staff speak more about the Steering Committee? Will Commission members be able to discuss with their Steering Committee representatives to pass along input? -City staff hope to identify a smaller consolidated group that includes 2 representatives from Council, and 2 representatives from each commission. Ideally this pair will consist of a newer member to provide a fresh perspective, and a more experienced member to provide a balanced perspective. -The Steering Committee helps staff guide the consultants throughout the process and ensures smooth progress, but does not write or veto anything on the Plan. -Regardless of Steering Committee membership, all Commission and Council members will have the opportunity to provide input for the plan. -The representatives will provide updates for the rest of the Commission or Council at meetings as an opportunity to share status of the process. -The Steering Committee membership structure changed since the last plan, which previously was composed of Planning Commission and Council representatives. This change was due to the scope of the Comprehensive Plan expanding from focus on land use to other additional topic areas. The process is now different than it was ten years ago. 2.Adjournment The meeting adjourned at 6:42 p.m. 12 MEMORANDUM To:Saint Anthony Village City Council From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner Date:July 14, 2026 Request: Review of Proposed Sustainable Building Ordinance BACKGROUND As part of the City’s Environmental Responsibility goal, the City has been working to implement the Climate Action Plan. In the Climate Plan, an identified action item under the Energy focus area is to “Consider adopting a sustainable building policy for all new and remodeled construction projects”. Last year, the City began exploring whether a sustainable building policy or ordinance is feasible for the City. In the spring of 2025, the Parks and Environmental Commission (PEC) met to consider high level parameters of a sustainable building policy. At the PEC work session, staff had shared best practices based on other agencies and requested feedback pertaining to the type of approach, priority impacts to consider for the Saint Anthony ordinance, as well as recommendation on type of applicable projects. The City Council then reviewed the PEC’s recommendations at a work session in the fall of 2025. Council, PEC and staff agreed that a mandatory approach via ordinance was the most effective approach, compared to suggestion or scoring approaches. The Council and staff reached consensus that the ordinance should be applicable to new and redevelopment projects impacting multi-family housing, commercial and industrial zones. The Council and PEC further agreed to include additional criteria to capture the City’s priorities or context sensitives. These criteria, referred to as Sustainable Standards in the draft ordinance, creates an expectation that all projects subject to the requirements of the ordinance, unless specifically exempted, are working towards consistent environmental goals. The PEC met in the spring 2026 to review the following staff research, and discuss the merits of a draft ordinance. After additional consideration by the City Council, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed ordinance on June 12, 2026. One person from the public spoke to the ordinance and other general aspects of local government. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended Council adoption of the ordinance as presented. STAFF RESEARCH As reported in prior memoranda, staff has reviewed a number of local agencies’ sustainable building efforts. The Center for Energy and Environment and Hennepin County developed a sustainable building policy guide in 2021, which the City used as a key framework to develop their approach and ordinance. Sustainable Building Policy Basics A policy can include compliance with a third-party rating system (i.e. LEED, B3, etc) to support standardization for sustainable building across the region. These rating systems are well-known in the construction industry and allow developer flexibility to meet policy requirements. 13 A policy can also include specific for a Saint Anthony Village overlay which are specific to the City and typically in addition to the third-party rating system. The City is pursuing a mandatory approach via an ordinance, ensuring compliance from a sustainability standpoint. More standardization helps with competition and cost control. Staff is mindful and heard feedback from the PEC and Council to avoid turning off developers who are considering new/redevelopment in the City. Staff anticipates that a mandatory approach will result in less confusion as having language in code will be clear for developers to follow, and if it is written into Code. Staff further recommends a mandatory approach for maximum impact, as this relates to City Climate Plan goals for reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Third Party Rating System Best practices recommend the use of a third-party rating system, along with a customized City overlay. This allows the city to customize its policy or ordinance, but provides flexibility for developers in how to meet sustainable building targets City benefits: lessens the need for specialized staff or extensive staff time in verifying project compliance, since third-party systems already use widely accepted sustainability standards. Other benefits: leveraging existing rating systems that are well-known in construction allows easier communication and more cost-effective implementation. Common examples: B3 Guidelines, LEED Recommended Sustainable Standards Criteria It is common practice for cities to identify additional criteria for their policy. The City is referring to these additional criteria as Sustainable Standards which are to be assessed in addition to the third-party rating system. Predicted and actual energy use Predicted and actual use of potable water Utilization of renewable energy EV charging capability (if parking is included) Diversion of construction waste from landfills and incinerators Stormwater management Ongoing monitoring of actual energy and water use (track impacts and ensure compliance) DRAFT ORDINANCE The attached draft ordinance is designed to create a format for review and comment, based on prior research and discussion at both PEC and City Council levels, as well as the Planning Commission’s public hearing in June. The ordinance relies on the direction provided by the PEC and staff, and incorporates elements of several of the local municipalities’ policy documents for its structure. Purpose The ordinance includes a general-purpose statement which is intended to encapsulate the many policy statements and direction that have led to the creation of the ordinance. Building Use and Size Thresholds The ordinance includes a listing of those properties that would be subject to the requirements of the ordinance. These include new Multiple Family developments of 5 or more units, expansions of existing multi-family projects of 5 or more units, renovations of any multi-family projects that require specific zoning approvals (such as Conditional Use Permits or Planned Unit Development). 14 Commercial and Industrial projects are included if they consist of new or expanded floor area of at least 10,000 square feet. The text proposes to exempt existing unaffected building area from the requirements of the code, applying the requirements to the new square footage only. For renovation projects of either residential or commercial/industrial use, the proposed language relies on valuation, using a threshold value of 50% of the existing value as the point at which a renovation project would be required to incorporate the ordinance standards. This standard is chosen as it reflects statutory limitations on requirements applicable to legal nonconforming structures. The draft ordinance would require that projects receiving City financial assistance would be held to the standards in the new ordinance. Included in this section is a note that applicants may seek relief by applying for a variance. Since the Sustainable Building Ordinance is a component of the zoning ordinance, the terms of the zoning variance process would apply to this section. Third Party Rating System The next section establishes a requirement to seek building certification through a third-party evaluator and rating system. Certification levels for the most common rating systems are outlined in the ordinance, but equivalent substitute rating systems may be considered by the City as time goes on. Sustainable Standards Criteria The proposed ordinance sets a series of Sustainable Standards that would apply to the buildings identified in the building threshold section. These include a reduction in energy use, a reduction in water use, modifications to incorporate renewable energy sources, compliance with the City’s EV charging requirements, a plan for diversion of construction waste from landfills and incinerators, and improvements that will address stormwater runoff from the site. Compliance and Monitoring Finally, this draft suggests a protocol for Compliance and Monitoring whereas evaluation by the City would occur at time of permit application and the one- and two-year anniversaries of the Certificate of Occupancy. This is intended to measure the impacts of both building compliance and ordinance effectiveness. RECOMMENDATION Staff asks the Council to review the draft ordinance to ensure that the proposed ordinance reflects the Council’s priorities. Both the PEC and Planning Commission recommended this draft, modified in a few places to add clarity and ensure consistency with the City’s Climate Plan objectives. For work session discussion, no action is required. Consensus is sought on ordinance language and possible modifications in anticipation of subsequent formal consideration of Ordinance adoption NEXT STEPS Following the Council’s discussion at this work session, the ordinance would be prepared for City Council for three ordinance readings, which is standard practice based on the City Code. ATTACHMENTS Draft Ordinance 2026-XX 15 1 CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY VILLAGE ORDINANCE 2026-0X AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SAINT ANTHONY CITY CODE, BY AMENDING SECTIONS OF THE CITY CODE RELATED TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF REGULATIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND BUILDING PRACTICES IN CITY CODE SECTION 154.170 THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY VILLAGE HEREBY ORDAINS: Section 1.Section §154 (Zoning Code) is hereby amended to add the following: 154.170 Sustainable Building Regulations (A) Purpose. Saint Anthony Village adopts these requirements in support of its commitment to achieving its goals relating to environmental responsibility, lessening impacts on near-term and long-term environmental quality, and promoting the objectives of its Climate Action Plan, Energy Action Plan, Comprehensive Plan and other sustainability initiatives. Per the objectives in these and other Plans, the City is working to reduce city-wide CO2 emissions and city facility CO2 emissions with the recognition that large buildings are a significant contributor of CO2. The standards in this Section are designed to help achieve those goals.

ADOPTED BY the City Council of Saint Anthony Village, Minnesota this ____ day of _____, 2026. ___________________________________ Mayor Webster ATTEST: ___________________________________ City Clerk AYES: NAYS: 18 MEMORANDUM To:Saint Anthony Village City Council From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner Date:July 14, 2026 Request: Review of Proposed Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance BACKGROUND The proposed ADU ordinance amendment arose from prior discussions of housing in Saint Anthony Village, and opportunities to add density, but in a way that was respectful of the Village’s neighborhood character. The ordinance proposes an allowance for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). The material is presented in a tabular format similar to the Council’s initial review. The ordinance text and accompanying staff comment is provided on each section, as well as a more formal ordinance form – the ordinance language is duplicated, but without the accompanying staff comments. The Planning Commission held a public hearing to review and make recommendations on the original draft at its regular meeting on June 16, 2026. PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING The following are a summation of the Planning Commissions comments: 1.Reanalyze the occupancy and definition of family – what is intent of the ordinance. The Commission debated the occupancy language, supporting a less restrictive limitation on the age of the occupants. Staff comment: The ADU draft is intended to allow limited additional occupancy – limits of two adults (relationship undefined) is the purpose. Allowance for minor dependent children is an acknowledgment of family realities but not intended to open up a small unit (by definition) to several adults – due to multiplicity of vehicles, need for open space, other subsequent impacts of multiple adults. 2.Discussion was held around the accessory building allowance for 1,000 square feet of major accessory building, compared to limitation of ADUs as attached structures only. Theoretically, a property owner could build a detached accessory garage, and then convert that structure to ADU. The Commission posed an allowance for a more expansive ordinance without many of the limitations in this draft. Staff comment: While this is partially the case, only the maximum area of 600 square feet could be converted to ADU space under the current draft. Opening up all lots to separate structures would benefit from a more comprehensive view of housing density. It would also implicate additional examinations of lot coverage, parking support, and other similar impacts. 3.600 square feet maximum. Should there be interest in allowance of ADU space up to the size of the principal dwelling? Staff comment: The point of ADU allowance is to be accessory in nature, not essentially equal to the principal dwelling – that would be a two-family residence/duplex. This would be a discussion that needs to be more extensively vetted as a part of the coming Comprehensive Plan update. 19 4.The Commission briefly discussed the ordinance’s counting of ADUs separately from total single- family rentals. No change was proposed. 5.The Commission questioned whether an ADU would be allowed to house a licensed group home. Staff comment: In further research, staff believe that a group home would not be eligible for group home occupancy. A licensed group home is a principal use of property, rather than an accessory use. This discussion, however, raises some potential challenges if the occupancy allowance is opened to more than the 2 adults as written. 6.The Commission further discussed the appropriate direction of the ADU ordinance and whether the draft is too restrictive, about right, or too accommodating? There was some opinion that the ordinance should be broadened to be a more effective “right” of property owners, rather than a limited accommodation. Although there was some variation in detail, the Commission generally agreed that opening up the code to ADU allowance was an appropriate step. There was interest in increasing the size allowance, however, that discussion implicated the Commission’s other interest in eliminating the restrictions on age. RECOMMENDATION In summary, the Commission generally approved of the ordinance, with removal of the occupancy language related to age or relationship. The increase in unit size beyond the 600 square foot size, if allowed, would reintroduce the age restrictions. As such, the Commission’s action was to formally recommend the Ordinance, striking the portion of Subp. (e) as follows: (a)Floor Area. ADUs shall contain no less than 400 square feet of habitable space, and a maximum of 600 square feet. Occupancies shall be limited to no more than 2 adult occupants of 19 years of age or greater, along with dependent minor children less than 19 years of age. All building codes shall apply to the ADU. In this regard, total occupancy may be no greater than one person for the first 150 square feet, one person per each additional 100 square feet. For the work session, no action is required. Consensus is sought on ordinance language and possible modifications in anticipation of subsequent formal consideration of Ordinance adoption. NEXT STEPS Following the Council’s discussion at this work session, the ordinance would be prepared for City Council for three ordinance readings, which is standard practice based on the City Code. ATTACHMENTS Draft Ordinance Language – Table Form Draft Ordinance 2026-XX 20 Section Text Staff Comments §154.007 DEFINITIONS (zoning) ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT (ADU). A secondary dwelling unit, subordinate to the principal dwelling on the parcel, occupied as a separate dwelling with its own kitchen, sanitation (bathroom), and sleeping area, along with a separate exterior entrance to the outdoors. §154.176 ACCESSORY BUILDINGS (I)Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)New Subsection (1)Purpose and Intent This Section establishes regulations relating to the establishment and operation of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) on properties occupied by a single family home. The purpose of these regulations is the accommodation of additional density in limited scope, and that are designed and operated in ways that have the least impacts on existing single family neighborhoods. ADUs shall only be permitted on parcels that meet all other land use regulations applicable to any particular property, and as expressly accessory uses, shall not be presumed to be allowed on any parcel which is not otherwise in full compliance with all other zoning, building, fire, and other requirements. General Information on the reason and initial factors for considering ADUs. (2)Administrative Requirements (a)ADUs may be located only on parcels occupied by one single family detached dwelling in an R-1 or R-1A zoning district. (b)Any ADU shall be required to be located on a parcel on which the principal dwelling is occupied by the owner of the property as the owner’s homestead. In the event an owner of property with an ADU sells to a new buyer who wishes to continue the ADU rental and tenant, the seller and buyer may request that the City transfers the ADU license to the new owner upon sale. Note that when an owner of property sells and converts the parcel to a licensed rental unit, a licensed ADU will need to have its rental license terminated. If the new buyer and ADU tenant wish to retain the status quo, the seller and buyer may arrange for a transfer of the ADU license. 21 (c)No parcel may contain more than one ADU per single family detached dwelling. (d)Any ADU occupied by a renter shall require a rental license, for which the City shall record as a second class of single family rental licenses. ADUs occupied by a relative of the owner will require an ADU license, notwithstanding the exemption to rental licensing for qualified relatives. The City will monitor total numbers of ADU rental licenses as a separate class of license. (e)An ADU shall not be included in the eligible number of single family dwelling rental licenses in the City’s maximum rental license caps, either for total or neighborhood-level totals. ADUs will not be subject to the overall rental cap – they do not infringe on the number of homes available for owner occupancy. (f)Short-term rentals shall not be allowed to occupy ADUs. This regulation furthers the City’s intent to severely limit STRs, since new ADUs are not able to meet the “pre- existing” STR license requirement in current code. (3)Operational Requirements (a)Structure Requirement. Any ADU shall be required to be part of, or attached to, an existing principal dwelling or a detached structure. No freestanding ADUs, nor any attachment to or occupancy of any other accessory building shall be allowed. This regulation is intended to limit lot coverage, and further avoid the propagation of additional accessory buildings on the City’s residential parcels. Staff notes that the current Accessory Building height limitation is 15 feet measured to the average height of the roof, and 20 feet to the peak. (b)Utility Connections. An ADU shall be connected to City sanitary sewer and water supplies through a connection to the principal dwelling. No separate connections to City sewer or water mains shall be permitted. This limitation avoids double metering on single family parcels at the recommendation of City public works staff. (c)Public Service Capacity. The City reserves the right to cap ADU licensing in the event public services (streets, sanitary sewer, water, parks, or Currently, there are no limitations to public utility capacities. Engineering staff notes that ADUs function 22 others) in any area of the City approach the City’s service capacities. essentially as additional bedrooms on single family homes, rather than full- capacity dwellings. (d)Parking. Any licensed ADU must demonstrate compliance with the City’s existing off-street parking requirements for the principal dwelling (2 spaces, at least one of which must be enclosed), plus one additional off-street parking space for the ADU. (e)Floor Area. ADUs shall contain no less than 400 square feet of habitable space, and a maximum of 600 square feet. Occupancies shall be limited to no more than 2 adult occupants of 19 years of age or greater, along with dependent minor children less than 19 years of age. This Section raised the primary change to the Planning Commission’s recommended ordinance draft, striking the sentence related to occupancies, highlighted above in yellow. All building codes shall apply to the ADU. In this regard, total occupancy may be no greater than one person for the first 150 square feet, one person per each additional 100 square feet. For reference, current code sets a minimum of 500sf for “efficiency” units in multi- family buildings, and 650sf for one-bedroom apartments. The code further sets a minimum of 750sf for 2-story single family homes, 900sf for 1-1/2 story single family homes, and 1,000sf for 1-story homes. The total occupancy citation is from the State Building Code. Thus, a 400 square foot dwelling may house 3 persons (two adults and one child), and a 600 square foot dwelling may house 5 persons (2 adults and 3 children). The current ordinance limits major accessory buildings to a maximum area of 1,000 square feet (a 4-car garage). The Council may wish to discuss whether this may be expanded for ADUs, or retain the 1,000sf maximum. (f)Accessibility and Egress. ADUs shall be provided with at least one exterior entrance from the outside to the living space, and one additional This clause addresses emergency escape and access, including an allowance for an exterior 23 access to the exterior (door or window) from any sleeping area in the unit. Exterior stairs may provide one access from upper-level units where such stairs are constructed of materials and colors similar to those of the structure to which the stairs are attached. The owner of an ADU shall provide and maintain access to the exterior entrance of the ADU, including a path at least 4 feet in width from the street to said entrance. The path shall be paved or surfaced with paving or patio stones. All access routes in this section shall be maintained and clear of debris, snow, ice, or other impediments. Fire officials shall have the authority to review and approve any proposed access plan prior to occupancy of the ADU. stairway. It further gives the Fire Dept. the ability to review and approve access to ensure safety both for residents and emergency personnel. The “paving or paver/patio stone” requirement is included to provide access to emergency medical personnel, particularly where a wheeled stretcher needs to be used. (g)Addressing. A separate address for the ADU shall be clearly depicted on the dwelling, visible from the street, complying with the requirements of Section 97.10, ADDRESS NUMBERS REQUIRED ON BUILDINGS. Staff proposed an address for any ADU as: “1234 Apt. A” (h)Trash Removal. An ADU shall utilize trash and recyclable bins and storage of the principal dwelling, and shall not utilize separate receptables. This is intended to limit collection issues on single family properties, including concerns over organized collection contracts. (i)Mailboxes. Mailbox locations for the ADU shall be mounted adjacent to the existing principal dwelling mailbox (if mail is delivered to the door), or attached to an existing post (if mail is delivered to a curbside mailbox). This is intended to limit visual clutter as well as avoid conflicts with on-street parking, etc. (j)Utility Boxes. The owner of property seeking to add an ADU shall make every attempt to work with private utilities (electric, cable, fiber, telephone, etc.) to place boxes in a clustered location with those serving the principal dwelling, or combine boxes where possible. Again, this language is intended to manage visual clutter, when possible. It is noted that regulation of private utilities is difficult, and this becomes a suggestion, not a requirement. 24 CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY VILLAGE ORDINANCE 2026-0X AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SAINT ANTHONY CITY CODE, BY AMENDING SECTIONS OF THE CITY CODE RELATING TO ACCESSORY BUILDINGS, INCLUDING SECTIONS 154.007 AND 154.176, ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS FOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS (ADUs) THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY VILLAGE HEREBY ORDAINS: Section 1.Section §154.007 (DEFINITIONS) is hereby amended to read as follows: ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT (ADU).
