Description
Minneapolis Economic Development & Regulatory Services Committee Meeting
A
Welcome
to
the
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
economic
development
and
regulatory
services
committee
for
today,
which
is
February,
19th
I've,
been
joined
by
councilmembers,
Cano,
Fletcher
and
Gordon
and
I'm
quite
sure,
councilmembers,
Allison
and
Cunningham
are
going
to
join
us
shortly.
We
will
start
with
our
public
hearing
agenda
after
we
moved
the
consent
agenda.
So
the
consent
agenda
is
items
3
through
7.
A
They
include
liquor,
license
approvals
of
gambling,
license
renewals
business,
license
operating
conditions
for
a
property
at
400,
1st
Avenue
north
our
pathways
grant
agreements
and
setting
a
public
hearing
for
interest
in
rental
dwelling
license
or
provisional
licenses
ordinances,
which
we
discussed
at
the
last
council
meeting.
Are
there
any
questions
on
items?
Three,
four,
five,
six
or
seven
that
anyone
would
like
to
bring
forward
councilmember
Fletcher.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Not
a
question
but
I
just
wanted
to
thank
regulatory
services,
staff
for
working
through
the
operating
conditions
for
400,
first
Avenue
North,
that's
obviously
a
property
that
we're
paying
a
lot
of
attention
to.
We
really
want
that
to
be
a
safe
and
successful
business
where
people
can
have
a
lot
of
fun
and
I
hope
that
these
operating
conditions
lay
the
groundwork
for
that
to
happen.
So
appreciate
the
careful
attention
to
this.
As
that
business
is
getting
started
and
we're
all
rooting
for
a
positive
outcome.
There
Thanks
and.
A
C
C
Nothing
of
their
operation
will
change
from
what
they've
previously
had,
except
for
they
are
requesting
in
their
outdoor
area
on
Thursdays,
when
they
host
a
farmers
market
to
have
non
amplified,
musicians
from
5:00
to
8:00
p.m.
so
what
are
their
hours
of
operation?
They
operate,
7:00
a.m.
to
12:00
p.m.
daily
12:00
a.m.
daily
and
then
Sunday
through
Thursday
in
the
exterior
they
operate.
7:00
a.m.
to
10:00
p.m.
and
then
Friday
and
Saturday
until
11:00
p.m.
C
on
the
exterior
their
business
plan
clearly
states
that
their
entertainment
that
they
are
going
to
be
providing
is
not
amplified
and
then
only
that
amp
not
amplified
entertainment
on
the
outdoor
areas
during
farmers
market.
A
public
hearing
is
required
for
this
application.
The
notice
was
sent
out
to
residents
within
600
feet
of
the
premises.
We
were
seized,
six
responses
and
of
those
responses.
There
were
concerns
about
amplified
music
and
parking,
and
so
at
this
time,
inspector
Lisa
smeller
is
making
a
recommendation
to
approve,
as
the
business
plan
indicates
and
we're
available.
D
Your
name
and
address
for
the
record
Anne
Sexton
I'm
here
on
behalf
a
tiny
diner
I,
just
wanted
to
address
the
concern
over
any
kind
of
amplified
music.
We
have
no
amplified
music
inside
or
outside,
and
we
only
want
to
have
the
acoustic
offerings
during
our
farmers
market
on
Thursdays
in
July
in
August.
Thank
you
thank.
A
A
C
You,
madam
chair,
the
item
number
2
is
from
Bowles
Horne
LLC,
it's
located
at
45,
63,
34th,
Avenue
South
again.
This
establishment
has
an
on
sale
line,
license
and
they're,
making
an
upgrade
to
full
liquor
with
Sunday
sales,
limited
entertainment.
In
this
case
there
is
no
change.
They
had
similar
entertainment
in
the
past
and
a
public
hearing
is
required
for
this.
Application
notices
were
sent
to
residents
and
property
owners
within
600
feet
of
the
premises
and
we've
received
for
response,
and
all
of
them
clearly
are
in
support
of
the
business.
A
There
any
questions
for
staff
on
item
number
2,
seeing
none.
This
is
a
public
hearing
and
item
number
2,
which
is
an
application
for
on
sale,
liquor
with
Sunday
sales
for
bull's
horn.
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
to
this
issue?
Is
there
anyone
here
from
bullhorn,
please
step
forward
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
F
Own
bull's
horn
we're
very
excited
at
the
opportunity.
We
really
don't
want
anything
to
change,
we're
very
happy
with
our
business,
the
family-friendly
atmosphere,
the
way
we've
been
embraced
by
the
neighborhood
and
we're
just
looking
to
respond
to
our
neighborhood
and
offer
a
couple
more
drinks
and
not
do
any
sort
of
fancy
program
either
so
keep
it
simple
and
keep
it
the
same.
A
A
Of
item
number
2
has
been
moved
further
comments
or
questions,
seeing
none
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
any
opposed.
That
item
is
approved,
then
we'll
move
on
to
our
last
remaining
item
on
the
agenda,
which
is
our
discussion
item
of
the
upper
harbor
terminal
concept
plan.
I
will
note
that
the
staff
will
do
a
presentation
for,
however
long
it
takes,
which
will
be
followed
by
a
discussion.
B
B
A
G
Chair
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
Eric
Hansen
I'm,
the
director
of
economic
policy
and
development
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
and
today
I'm
here
with
the
city's
CFO
Mark
ruff,
and
the
director
of
C
peds
David
Frank.
To
present
the
concept
plan
for
redevelopment
of
the
upper
harbour
terminal.
G
G
I
would
like
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
the
extensive
staff
team
that
has
worked
to
get
us
here,
including
staff
from
the
many
divisions
of
C
ped,
the
mini
up
its
Park
and
Recreation
Board,
the
City
Attorney's
Office,
the
public
or
the
Department
of
Public
Works
finance,
inter
government
relations,
the
mayor's
office
staff
from
wards,
1,
4,
5
and
I'm
assuming
I'm
missing.
A
few
comes
remember:
Ward,
fair
as
well.
I
want
to
especially
thank
Kate
lamar's,
who
has
been
the
project
manager
from
the
park
board.
G
G
The
upper
harbour
terminal
concept
plans
since
sets
general
land
uses
for
redevelopment
and
allows
the
project
team
to
begin
the
next
steps
of
planning
that
will
conclude
with
a
coordinated
plan.
The
coordinated
plan
will
include
specific
details
of
development,
types,
capital,
financing
plans
and
general
phasing
if
approved.
Today,
we
will
return
to
the
City
Council,
with
a
coordinated
plan
for
approval
in
about
one
year.
G
The
concept
plan
advances
a
vision
for
the
of
the
upper
harbour
terminal
derived
out
of
a
community
process
that
started
with
nine
characteristics
of
success
that
formed
the
basis
of
a
2016
City
and
Minneapolis
Park
Board
issued
request
for
qualifications.
These
nine
characteristics
that
you
see
on
the
screen
guided
our
work
over
the
past
two
years
and
the
concept
in
front
of
you
reflects
these
nine
characteristics
and
the
city
priorities
around
design,
equity
and
sustainability.
The.
G
Concept
plan
results
from
an
extensive
design
and
community
engagement
process,
identifying
a
basic
framework
for
a
multiple
multiple
phase.
Development
of
the
UHT
site,
including
land
use,
public
infrastructure
needs
park,
boundaries,
timing
and
implementation
strategies.
The
first
phase
of
this
development
is
the
creation
of
an
area
of
focus
of
development.
Around
Dowling,
Avenue
Washington
Avenue
in
the
river
activation
of
this
area
will
focus.
A
area
of
focus
requires
first
constructing
the
infrastructure,
such
as
roads,
sidewalks,
sewers
and
other
associated
the
infrastructure
to
access
and
support
the
development
in
this
site.
G
The
first
phase
of
development
on
this
plan
includes
many
community
benefits
that
we
will
work
towards
we're
finding
over
the
next
12
months
to
add
into
a
coordinated
plan
and
a
bench
and
eventually
into
redevelopment
contracts.
At
the
core
of
this
concept
plan
are
the
people
who
it
impacts
the
most
those
living
on
the
north
side
and
in
Northeast.
G
Throughout
this
project,
the
project
team
has
worked
with
the
community
to
put
a
plan
in
front
of
you
to
improve
access
to
the
greater
North
Side
and
provide
development
concepts
that
will
integrate
into
the
into
and
enhance
the
fabric
of
the
community.
At
the
base,
level
is
housing
phase.
One
of
the
concept
plan
proposes
about
three
to
five
hundred
units
of
housing.
G
We
are
mindful
that
this
concept,
we
are
mindful
in
this
concept
that
construction
of
new
housing
can
create
rents
or
sale
prices
that
exceed
the
prices
that
are
in
the
general
community,
including
the
McKinley
neighborhood.
Today,
we
are
sensitive
also
that
the
median
incomes
in
the
Camden
community
in
the
near
North
communities
are
lower
than
both
the
city
median
income
and
that
of
the
region.
These
incomes
have
have
dropped
over
time
and
the
renter
population
in
these
communities
have
risen.
G
The
first
phase
has
the
housing
in
the
first
phase
will
set
forty
percent
of
the
units
aside
for
affordable
housing,
but
the
definition
of
what
is
considered
affordable
can
sometimes
be
out
of
reach
for
the
families
that
are
currently
living
on
the
north
side.
So
we
will
work
with
the
project
team
and
the
community
to
find
ways
to
further
subsidized
units
so
that
the
rents
are
comparable
to
what
we
see
for
families
on
in
the
area.
G
Next
to
parks,
the
defining
characteristic
of
this
site
is
the
one
mile
of
river
shore
on
the
Mississippi
River
at
the
heart
of
this
plan
is
the
is
the
realization
of
a
planning
efforts
that
date
back
more
than
20
years
to
access
the
riverbank
on
both
the
north
and
northeast
side
from
the
city
limits
down
to
the
central
riverfront.
The
concept
plan
sets
aside
19.5
acres
of
land,
including
the
entire
one
mile
of
riverfront
for
parks,
trails
and
access
to
the
water.
G
The
plan
anticipates
that
the
city
will
deed
the
land
to
the
M,
to
the
Minneapolis
Park
Court,
at
no
cost
in
lieu
of
park,
dedications
fees,
the
park
board
will
develop
12
million
dollars
of
park
infrastructure
in
the
first
phase.
These
improvements
include
river
bank
stabilization
trails
and
the
development
of
two
parks
which
we
refer
to
as
Dowling
Plaza
and
the
relics
park
in
the
plan.
Planning
for
these
improvements
will
occur
over
the
next
year
in
a
separate
process
which
we'll
talk
about
in
a
minute.
G
The
range
of
the
range
and
the
concept
plan
for
commercial
uses
varies
from
40,000
to
85,000
square
feet
for
retail
and
commercial
space
for
shops,
services
and
restaurants.
You
can
see
in
the
illustration
images
the
white
sidewalks
along
Dowling
Avenue
to
the
river
parks,
which
would
front
this
space.
2
banners
understand
how
much
commercial
space
is
available.
Phase
one
can
could
accommodate
about
10
to
20
businesses
depending
on
space
needs.
G
The
concept
plan
establishes
the
goal
to
have
community
ownership
model
for
all
of
this
commercial
space
as
one
of
the
components
in
the
coordinated
plan
next
year
to
provide
for
local
owners,
entrepreneurship
opportunities
and
community
wealth.
Building
up
opportunities,
coupled
with
this
commercial
space
on
a
2
and
1/2
acre
parcel
to
the
south
of
the
Dowling
Avenue
focus
is
the
hub.
Another
proposed
can--you
community
owned
component
of
the
plan.
The
hub
will
range
from
about
a
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
to
two
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
square
feet
per
floor.
G
We're
still
working
on
how
many
floors
and
what
would
be
in
it,
and
it's
look.
It's
located
right
across
the
street
from
what
we
are
calling
relic
sparked
the
proposed
uses.
Support
uses
in
the
hub
would
be
supportive
of
urban
food
systems
and
community
access
to
such
uses.
During
the
next
phase
of
development,
the
project
team
will
work
with
the
community
and
the
community
planning
and
engagement
committee
for
the
upper
terminal
project
to
explore
a
mix
of
uses
that
complement
the
hub,
including
office
space
for
green
businesses
and
indoor/outdoor
marketplace.
G
Greenhouse
aquaponic,
hydroponic
growing
space
and
possibly
an
integrated
utility
hub.
The
integrated
utility
hub
is
a
closed-loop
system
that
transfers
solid
and
liquid
waste
into
energy
and
other
materials
for
community
use.
This
would
be
the
first
such
utility
hub
of
its
kind
in
the
nation
and
is
one
of
the
more
forward-leaning
components
of
the
sustainability
elements
in
this
plan.
As
a
baseline
for
this
plan,
all
of
the
buildings
will
meet
sustainability
goals
and.
G
Will
work
to
decrease
resilience
on
our
reliance
on
greenhouse
gases
and
explore
district
right
strategies
around
stormwater
management
and
energy
production
work
we'll
continue
to
evaluate
the
opportunities
we
have
to
incorporate
these
practices
into
the
redevelopment.
As
with
a
defined
strategy
in
the
coordinated
plan.
G
Complementing
the
above
uses
the
complementing
and
above
the
first
active
first
floor,
our
hospitality
and
offices.
As
you
can
see,
on
the
screen
in
the
red
circles,
the
concept
plan
does
not
fully
define
these
components
in
order
to
allow
for
flexibility
in
the
upcoming
planning
phase.
Financial
feasibility
of
these
components
depend
on
the
project
teams,
capacity
to
pros
developments
that
occurred,
that
attract
and
support
from
lenders
and
investors.
In
this,
in
the
case
of
the
office
project,
securing
a
tenant
or
multi
multiple
tenants
will
be
an
important
step
for
moving
the
process
forward.
G
Concurrently,
additional
work
will
commence
on
what
type
of
hospitality
uses
will
work
at
phase
one
these
pollutant,
an
evaluation
of
many
such
uses,
such
as
a
community
banquet
center,
a
hostel
or
hotel
that
both
serve
the
community
and
have
a
sound
financial
plan.
The
development
team
commits
to
owning
the
hospitality
use
and
commits
to
a
local
hiring
preference
for
those
jobs
in
the
in
in
the
hospital
in
the
hospital
use.
The
hospitality
industry
is
one
of
the
industries
that
have
been
working
together
through
the
Hennepin
workforce,
Leadership
Council,
to
identify
and
create
career
tracks.
G
The
outdoor
music
performance
venue
is
the
component
of
the
concept
plan
that
the
staff
team
has
received.
Most
feedback
about
this
use
provides
the
destination
facility
requested
in
the
original
request
for
qualifications.
As
you
can
see
in
these
three
slides,
there
are
a
few
designs
for
this
facility:
a
simple
land
form.
We
have
an
elevated
slope
concept
and
we
have
a
gantry
design.
G
The
specific
design
will
be
included
in
the
coordinated
plan
and
it'll
be
a
major
component
of
the
environmental
review
based
on
our
work
that
way,
we'll
continue
with
the
community.
These
draft
concepts
estimate
our
estimated
cost
around
twenty
six
to
forty
nine
million
and
one
action
before
use
to
authorize
staff
to
request
initial
planning
funds
from
the
state
legislature
in
the
amount
of
two
million
dollars.
G
If
there
is
a
if
there
is
a
bonding
bill
yet
this
year,
a
future
request
to
and
a
future
request
to
pursue,
eighteen
million
dollars
in
bonding
for
the
capital
costs
will
come
with
the
coordinated
plan
approval.
The
city
would
have
to
be
the
sponsor
of
this
request,
similar
to
our
partnerships
with
the
Guthrie
MacPhail
and
the
Kohl
Center.
We
will
develop
a
partnership
model
over
the
next
phase
of
planning
that
will
define
the
city's
role
in
this
facility.
The
music
performance
venue
plans
to
hold
50
ticket
events
to
each
year.
G
The
balance
of
the
year
of
the
facility
be
used
be
available
for
community
uses
for
the
remainder
of
the
year.
The
first
Avenue,
which
will
oversee
the
facility
operations,
has
pledged
to
collect
fees
on
tickets
to
fund
free
community
programming.
They
are
gonna,
provide
contracting
opportunities
for
Northside
businesses
for
everything,
from
food
and
service
beverage
services,
security,
textile
poster,
printing
and
operations
on
the
site.
It
also
has
a
commitment
to
increase
its
participation
in
the
step
up
program,
tire
as
many
as
70
interns
each
year
and
expose
them
to
careers
in
the
entertainment
field.
G
So,
who
are
we
going
to
do
this
with?
As
you
know,
the
city
is
not
a
developer.
We
will
continue
our
public/private
partnership
with
the
community
on
this
process.
As
you
know,
the
City
Council
in
the
park
board
selected
United
properties
as
the
master
developer
in
the
spring
of
2017.
United
properties
has
Thor
companies
and
first
Avenue
on
their
development
team.
G
That
will
be
the
developments
partner
of
the
project
and
will
continue
work
with
United
properties,
both
Robbie
Norman
and
his
business
partner
and
Thor
companies,
Richard
Copeland
our
important
business
leaders
in
the
community
and
deserve
the
benefit
of
the
doubt
during
the
restructuring,
and
we
admit
that
we
well
the
restructuring
is
happening.
We
have
imperfect
information
and
we
will
work
out
that
will
work
out
it,
as
as
it
will
work
itself
out
in
the
process.
So
we
commit
to
return
to
the
City
Council
no
later
than
July
31st
of
this
year.
G
To
give
you
an
update
on
how
how
that's
transpiring
complimenting
the
development
team
is
the
newly
formed
community
planning
and
engagement
committee
that
this
council
passed
two
weeks
ago.
This
is
a
15
member
body
that
will
fit
the
city
and
the
development
team
in
updating
and
executing
the
community
engagement
plan,
helping
to
broaden
the
audience
and
we're
nasaw
this
project
and
assist
in
the
creation
of
scoping
of
options
for
community
ownership
model.
The
hub
and
future
development
phases.
G
The
plan
for
the
balance
of
the
land
that
is
not
in
phase
one,
is
wide
open.
The
community
planning
engagement
committee
will
work
with
the
city
and
the
development
team
to
determine
the
additional
public
improvements
and
development
concepts
for
inclusion
in
the
coordinated
plan.
The
application
process
will
serve
on
this
committee
will
begin
after
the
passage
of
the
concept
plan
and,
if
it
all
goes
well,
we'll
have
that
committee
in
place
no
later
than
May
of
this
year.
G
Well,
David
well,
David
Frank
will
go
over
the
next
steps.
Later
in
this
presentation,
we
draw
your
attention
to
one
of
the
actions
in
front
of
you
that
separates
the
city
and
the
park
board
processes
to
come
to
the
coordinated
plan
and
then,
through
into
into
implementation,
the
staff
of
the
park
board
in
the
city
of
work
collectively
on
the
production
of
the
concept
plan
and
given
the
amount
of
work
that
we
will
need
to
complete
and
the
elements
in
front
of
the
city
and
in
front
of
the
park
board.
G
We
found
it
most
efficient
to
separate
that
path
and
the
diagram
on
the
screen
is
show
how
the
city
team
will
proceed
to
develop.
The
private,
the
coordinated
plan
and
the
Redevelopment
contract
for
the
private
components
and
the
park
board
will
proceed
with
the
public
improvements
to
the
park
in
and
their
planning
process.
H
Chair
members
of
the
committee
Marc
rough,
the
city's
chief
financial
officer,
our
staff
and
development
finance,
Marc
Michael,
Haig,
Matthew
Hendricks
have
been
involved
in
this
project
as
well
I'm
here
to
give
an
update
about
what
sea
resources
we
anticipate.
That
will
be
necessary
to
provide
the
infrastructure
for
the
private
development
to
happen,
and
we
talk
about
infrastructure.
It
is
largely
outlined
in
the
bowline,
so
I'm
going
to
talk
about
costs
that
are
within
the
city's
right-of-way
and
other
associated
overarching
costs.
That
will
make
the
private
redevelopment
happen.
H
Specifically,
the
estimates
that
we
have
in
front
of
us
today
are
both
City
costs
and
park
board
costs.
What's
in
front
of
you
right
now
is
only
the
city
costs.
The
park
board
has
another
12
million
dollars
of
costs,
who
can
again
the
city
and
the
park
board
were
awarded
a
state
bonding
grant
and
those
dollars
will
be
available
for
the
infrastructure
cost.
The
breakdown
between
the
grant
proceeds
is
nine
million
dollars
for
the
city.
H
That's
on
the
right-hand
side
of
state
bond
funds
and
six
million
dollars
for
the
park
board
so
park
board
and
with
that
grant
comes
up
a
match
requirement.
So
that's
how
we
get
to
12
million
dollars
for
park.
Improvements
is
six
million
dollars
from
the
state
six
million
dollars
from
local
sources.
H
The
city
has
a
nine
million
dollar
match,
but
our
costs
are
more
than
that
nine
million
dollar
match,
so
the
costs
that
we
do
anticipate
would
be
dowling
Avenue
improvements
and
the
1st
Avenue
Park
Way,
when
I
emphasize
that
darling
Avenue
important's
do
not
include
major
work
to
the
bridge
over
94.
We
anticipate
that
the
state
would
be
responsible
for
that.
We
do
have
basic
sewer
and
water
utilities
and
then
stormwater
costs,
which
are
a
very
important
component.
H
So
that's
how
we
get
to
the
18
million
dollars
of
bond
eligible
cost
and
the
match
that
is
attributable
to
that.
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
other
costs,
we
have
site
clearance,
costs
or
demolition.
We
also
have
the
relocation
of
the
Excel
powerline
important
to
emphasize
that
this
relocation
number
is
preliminary.
H
It
would
not
be
burying
the
powerlines
that
would
still
be
relocated
to
be
above
ground,
but
in
some
of
the
earlier
slides
you
saw
the
red
dotted
line
that
has
the
power
line
going
right
through
the
middle
of
the
developable
property
and
the
park
property,
and
so
that's
the
reason
for
actually
relocating
it.
So
the
overall
costs
of
the
public
infrastructure
from
the
city
again
within
the
right-of-way
25
million
dollars.
So
we
see
a
shortfall
here
or
a
gap
that's
listed
of
just
under
12
million
dollars
again.
H
Preliminary
numbers
is
to
give
you
a
sense
of
where
the
project
is
at.
The
city
does
have
funds
available
for
major
redevelopment
projects,
and
our
harbour
terminal
has
been
anticipated
to
need
some
gap
financing.
This
is
not
a
surprise
to
us
that
we
have
this
level
of
need,
and
so
the
city
does
have
available
redevelopment
dollars
that
could
cover
these
costs.
If
the
council
chooses
to
utilize
those
funds
for
those
costs,
there
are
other
costs
will
doubt
that.
H
A
A
Okay,
very
good,
mr.
Roffe.
Thank
you
if
this
is
a
presentation
from
our
pay
professional
staff
to
the
City
Council.
That
is
the
process.
Mr.
ruff,
please
continue,
and
if
mr.
Davis,
if
you
don't
want
to
sit
quietly,
we'll
just
ask
the
building
to
ask
you
to
stand
in
the
hall
and
watch
on
TV
mr.
ruff
thank.
H
These
gap
dollars
could
come
down
by
virtue
of
offset
of
costs
if
we
are
successful
with
legislation
to
allow
for
a
new
tax,
increment
financing,
district
upon
negotiation
of
exact
land
sale,
proceeds
or
this
gap
could
go
up
if
we
have
additional
costs
that
are
associated
with
some
of
these
estimates,
but
that
was
the
only
intent
of
this
part
of
the
presentation
was
give
the
council
a
sense
of
what
generally
we
are
committed
to
financially
with
this
step
in
the
process
as
mr.
Hanson
outlined
earlier.
H
There
is
nothing
that
you
were
actually
committing
to
until
you
sign
a
contract
with
the
development
team
and
I
will
also
say
that
we
certainly
have
talked
with
councilmember
Cunningham
about
other
dollars.
That
would
potentially
be
a
made
available
for
some
neighborhood
costs,
and
that
is
not
included
in
this
budget,
but
certainly
anticipated
and
would
be
brought
back
to
you
at
the
appropriate
time
of
approval
of
the
project.
Thank.
J
So
Eric
mentioned
the
affordable
housing
right,
the
city
standard
for
affordable
housing
when
we
sell
property
is
20%,
and
this
project
is
twice
that
at
the
moment,
40%
of
the
units
will
be
affordable
and
more
is,
of
course,
a
possibility.
But,
as
you
all
know
very
well,
that
means
more
money
to
achieve
either
more
affordability
or
deeper
targeting
of
affordability.
J
As
Eric
mentioned.
All
of
these
things,
19
and
a
half
acres
of
parkland,
provided
at
no
cost
to
the
Minneapolis
Park
and
Recreation
Board
restoration
of
habitats
and
about
one
mile
of
riverfront
access
currently
owned
by
the
by
the
public
by
us
and
not
really
available
to
the
public
to
enjoy.
So
that's
part
of
this
project.
We've
spent
a
lot
of
time
and
expect
to
spend
a
lot
more
time
on
community
ownership
and
entrepreneurial
opportunities
within
the
projects
all
throughout
the
project.
There's
the
idea
to
have
the
ground-floor
be
owned
by
the
community.
H
J
A
D
J
Certification
for
all
the
buildings
is
something
that
we
are
exploring:
district
stormwater
management
strategies,
restorative
or
closed-loop
utility
systems,
such
as
in
an
integrated
utility
hub
and
exploration
of
an
advanced
energy
plan.
So
it's
worth
saying
and
landing
for
you
hard
right.
This
is.
We
believe
this
is
the
city's
top
development
priority
and
we
expect
to
get
as
many
benefits
here
for
the
public
on
your
behalf
on
the
city's
behalf
as
we
can
so
I've
named
the
ones
that
are
top
of
mind
at
the
moment.
A
C
A
A
J
During
that
time,
we
in
the
Park
Board
will
divide
our
efforts
into
two
tracts,
the
city
tract
where
we
will
focus
on
the
private
development
and
city
infrastructure
and
the
park
board
will
focus
on
the
planning
for
its
parks.
We
will
establish
the
community
planning
and
engagement
committee
that
we've
spoken
about
with
you
in
the
past.
We
will
complete
the
environmental
review
for
the
project
or
the
AUA.
Are
the
alternative
urban
area
wide
review
to
evaluate
the
environmental
impacts
of
the
proposed
development?
J
It's
after
all,
that
actual
construction
on
the
site
might
begin
to
occur
as
soon
as
2021
or
2022.
Our
recommendation
in
front
of
you
now
is
to
approve
the
concept
plan
and
the
other
associated
actions
and
allow
us
to
continue
to
work
with
our
development
partners
with
the
community
and
with
all
of
you,
to
advance
this
project.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
K
J
K
J
Chair
council,
member
Gordon,
the
spirit
of
the
concept
plan
is
general
direction
right.
So
no
engineering
has
yet
taken
place
by
our
colleagues
and
public
works.
We
have
to
finish
identifying
the
all
of
the
costs
which
depend
on
the
location,
so
I
will
say.
The
engineering
has
not
yet
occurred
with
the
general
placement.
This
is
the
thinking
subject
to
identifying
issues
that
we
are
not
yet
aware
of.
There's.
J
K
The
are
we
approving
the
locations
of
the
buildings,
particularly
the
hospitality,
so
won't
necessarily
surprise.
My
colleagues
I
have
a
little
bit
of
a
concern
about
how
close
the
buildings
are
going
to
end
to
the
river
and
the
there's
buildings
between
the
parkway
and
the
river.
So
just
wanna,
since
it's
a
concept-
and
there
might
be
some
flexibility-
is
using
my
position
as
a
council
member
to
share
some
of
those
thoughts.
Are
we
also,
then
approving
the
location
of
the
buildings,
especially
the
theater
and
the
hospitality
element
that's
closest
to
the
river?
Madam.
J
Chair
councilmember
Gordon,
it
is
a
concept
plan
and
we
are
asking
your
approval
of
the
project
in
concept,
so
it
provides
general
direction
that
you
are
supportive
of
what
you
see
today's
subject
to
refinements,
as
you
might
suggest,
or
direct
and
based
on
presuming
your
approval
today.
The
team
would
proceed
in
this
general
direction,
together
with
community
stakeholders
and
the
development
team
and
the
designers
to
refine
the
concept.
But
yes,
we
would
expect
largely
where
you
see
the
buildings
today
and.
K
K
What
happens
right?
It
could
not
and
that's
not
necessarily
what
it
will
be
but
and
I'm
also
curious.
Well,
I
was
kind
of
interested.
We
talked
about
a
mile
of
river
that
we
could
get
access
to
and
just
I
don't
need
the
actual
footage
now,
but
I
was
wondering
what's
the
minimum
footage
of
River
that
we
get,
because
you
know
what
she's
supposedly
on
Cedar
Lake,
we
also
have
that
shoreline
and
if
you're
over
there,
you
can
see
that
it
doesn't
feel
that
way.
Much.
Madam.
J
Chair
customer
Gordon,
if
I,
might
respond
to
that
so
I
we
don't
mean
for
that
to
be
conceptual
in
nature,
so
we
own.
If
anybody
has
the
exact
number
they
can
tell
me
now.
Let's
say
it:
we
owe
in
exactly
one
mile
of
riverfront.
All
of
that
will
be
owned
by
the
park
board
after
we
complete
this
transfer
and
therefore
all
of
it
will
be
accessible
to
the
public.
It
might
have
a
wall,
it
might
have
some
steps,
but
all
of
the
frontage
of
the
riverfront
will
be
owned
by
the
park
board
and.
K
K
Thank
you
much
my
last
question
and
maybe
it's
too
hard
to
answer
now,
because
you
indicated
we
were
exploring
what
this
actually
means,
but
several
times
we
talked
about
community
owned
and
I.
Guess
it's
hard
to
know
what
community
actually
means
and
what
communities.
So
what
does
that
mean
roughly
and
if,
if
we
don't
know
yet
that's
okay
too,
madam.
J
Chair
council,
member
Gordon
short
version,
is
we
don't
know
yet,
but
we
have
heard
very
clearly
from
from
stakeholders
in
the
community,
as
well
as
from
council
members
and
on
our
own
team.
There's
a
real
interest
in
this
in
trying
to
figure
it
out.
So
we
don't
know,
but
we
are.
This
is
one
of
the
things
we
are
at
the
top
of
our
list
to
explore.
Presuming
that
the
concept
plan
passes
today.
J
A
E
Cano,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
to
all
the
community
members
and
staff
that
are
here
today
too
discuss
this
issue.
I
think
it's
a
very
important
that
folks
be
engaged
with
local
government
and
and
I
do
appreciate
the
not
that
that
this
gives
to
Co
governance,
which
is
one
of
the
issues
that
many
of
us
ran
on.
So
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
here
on
on
the
discussion.
Item
number
eight
here.
E
So
it's
my
understanding
that
typically,
the
city
of
Minneapolis
goes
through
a
process
of
ranking
projects
that
we
will
then
take
to
the
State
Capitol
to
lobby
for
this
very,
very
competitive
pool
of
resources
known
as
the
as
the
bonding
money
or
money
that
they
can
give
us
to
do
projects
that
we
want
to
do
so,
I'm
just
curious.
What's
the
current
ranking
now?
What's
item
number
one
number,
two
number
three
so
that
we
can
know
what
this
project
is
going
to
bump
off
or
bump
down.
E
J
Chair
councilmember
Cano,
we've
put,
we've
suggested
as
you
consider
this
piece
of
the
approval
in
consultation
with
our
IG,
our
intergovernmental
relations.
Colleagues,
that
this
piece
of
bonding,
if
there
is
a
bonding
bill
in
2019,
would
be
number
two
I
believe
I
understand
that
should
let's
say
you
say
yes
to
this,
and
this
passes
today
that
through
IG
are
in
the
near
future,
will
come
the
ranking
of
the
projects,
including
a
number
one
and
a
number
three
and
potentially
others
with
this
one
as
number
two
that
you'll
have
already
seen.
E
Just
to
respond
to
that
a
little
bit
I
used
to
sit
on
the
IGR
committee,
I,
don't
anymore
so
in
my
first
term
as
a
council
member
those
those
lists
didn't
change
very
much
from
year
to
year.
In
fact,
some
of
those
infrastructure
projects
are
there
for
anywhere
from
five
to
ten
years,
and
it's
things
like
you
know,
covering
the
reconstruction
costs
of
crumbling
bridges,
and
you
know,
for
example,
in
my
award
I
think
we
got
resources
to
put
a
new
fence
on
the
pioneering
soldier
cemetery.
E
A
Kosmic
honor,
my
understanding
is
the
number
one
item
on
our
list
and
it's
been
the
number
one
item
for
a
good
number
of
years
is
our
stormwater
system
and
the
resources
to
make
sure
we
can
maintain
the
realigning
and
resurfacing
of
our
stormwater
system.
I,
don't
believe
the
other
projects
on
the
list
are
actually
development
projects,
as
you
had
suggested.
There
are
almost
all
infrastructure
type
projects.
K
E
You
colleagues
I
appreciate
it.
I
just
think
it's
important
to
have
a
fill
in
the
gaps
here
as
we're
as
we're
having
this
discussion
and
what's
coming
through
that
bonding
request
list,
it
seems
like
a
heavy
lift
and
it's
going
to
be
an
important
conversation
for
us
to
figure
out
how
how
we
do
this.
E
So
my
question
on
that
is
really
about
the
fact
that
I
guess
I
feel
the
institution
should
already
have
this
and
should
already
apply,
should
be
able
to
apply
this
racial
equity
framework
on
all
the
development
projects
that
we
have.
So
let
me
start
by
asking:
does
the
CEPA
department
currently
still
have
a
departmental
level
policy
that
says
we
are
not
allowed
to
enter
into
community-based
agreements,
otherwise
known
as
CBA's
I?
E
E
A
J
Madam
chair
council,
member
Cano
point
of
information,
then
I
will
answer
your
question.
I
believe
what
you're
reading
from
is
is
an
amendment,
as
opposed
to
part
of
the
staff
recommendation.
Question
mark
the
answer
to
your
question
is
we
have
had
a
great
many
questions
on
the
topic
of
community
benefits
agreements,
and
we
have
realized
that
the
time
has
come
to
try
to
make
our
peace
with
this.
E
You
director
and
I
just
want
to
ask
folks
to
keep
a
conversation
respectful,
so
I
can
help
contextualize.
Some
of
the
questions
that
I
have
here.
This
is
by
no
means
an
attack
on
staff
or
trying
to
get
staff
to
feel
uncomfortable
with
this.
What
I'm,
trying
to
explain
here
is
that
we
have
struggled
with
how
to
make
our
developments
turn
a
racial
equity.
Our
city's
turn
racial
equity
goals
into
reality,
because
we
have
some
significant
barriers
within
the
institution
that
do
that.
E
What
vehicles,
what
resources
would
help
do
we
have
within
the
institution
to
complete
or
achieve
those
goals
and
there's
very
little,
so
one
of
the
things
was
that
at
the
time,
perhaps
this
is
changing
now
and
it's
good
that
it's
changing.
There
was
a
departmental
policy
at
the
C
ped
level
that
blocked
any
development
project
from
entering
into
a
community
benefits
agreement
conversation
back
then
there
was
no
political
will
to
address
that.
Hopefully,
there
is
more
of
that
now.
E
E
So
to
that
point,
I
think
I
want
to
be
able
to
work
on
on
this
item
of
how
do
we
develop
a
racial
equity
framework
for
the
development
projects
that
are
most
likely
to
have
a
displacement
or
gentrification
impact
in
communities
that
are
low-income,
rich
and
culture,
rich
and
language,
rich
and
diversity
below
on
capital?
And
so
I
appreciate
that
this
is
being
brought
forward
on
this
particular
project.
As
item
number
six
has
written
out
in
our
discussion,
so
I
do
want
to
say
that,
while
this
is
great
for
this
project,
we're
really
missing.
E
Perhaps
the
bigger
mark
here,
which
is
how
do
we
change
the
entire
system
and
codify
the
work
that
we
do
to
make
sure
that
all
of
the
development
projects
that
we
take
on
have
this
baked
into
them
and
not
having
having
it
be?
Something
that's
one-off,
which
which
is
kind
of
what
it
feels
like,
because
hey
I
love
this
language
and
I
would
love
to
see
this
be
a
part
of
the
expansion
of
the
Hiawatha
campus
site.
But
it
feels
like
we
each
kind
of
get
divided
into
like.
E
G
Councilmember
Goodman
kind
of
americano
I
can
answer
the
first
parts
around
the
15-member
panel.
We
will
promote
start
promoting
that,
after
the
approval
of
the
concept
plan
that
was
actually
approved
by
the
City
Council
two
weeks
ago,
said:
fifteen
members,
there's
neighborhood
residents,
there's
a
cultural
representation
and
then
a
member
from
the
business
community,
a
member
from
the
Afghan,
the
above
the
Falls
Community
Advisory
Committee,
and
the
environmental
justice
Coordinating
Committee.
So
those
are
the
the
10th,
oh
and
then
3.2
more
appointments
from
the
mayor.
G
L
Well,
I
mean
I'm
happy
to
explain
it,
so
the
idea
is
to
create
the
various
components
of
what
would
be
the
that
would
be
then
tested
by
the
development
team
and
invested
in
to
be
able
to
figure
out
what
is
the
most
reasonable
and
then
the
community
group
can
then
make
it
an
informed
decision
after
being
able
to
deliberate
with
the
most
information
possible.
So
that's
really.
E
Just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
my
colleague
for
answering
that
last
question.
Seven
point
two
I'd
be
happy
to
chat
with
you
further
about
the
intense
and
goal
of
that,
and
I
would
like
to
encourage
us
to
make
sure
that
the
the
upper
harbor
terminal
community
planning
an
engagement
committee
that
that
information
is
up
on
our
website
somewhere
just
so,
we
can
kind
of
connect
folks
to
that
conversation.
So
with
that,
madam
chair,
thank.
A
M
Madam
chair
I
just
wanted
to
briefly
say
I'm,
not
on
the
committee,
so
appreciate
being
able
to
sit
through
this
part.
I
do
have
to
leave
for
another
commitment,
so
I
really
just
wanted
to
thank
you,
but
also
particularly
council
members,
Cunningham
and
Ellison
for
all
of
the
work
that
has
gone
into
the
things
that
you'll
hear
next
and
I
wish.
I
could
speak
after,
but
and
I
just
want
to
say.
You
know.
I
was
here
last
term
and
we
have
two
new
council
members
who
have
been
in
office
for
one
year.
M
A
Thank
you
for
being
here:
Madam
President,
I'm
gonna
move
approval
of
the
staff
recommendation,
which
will
allow
council
members,
Cunningham
and
Alison
to
address
the
packet
of
amendments
with
regard
to
specific
amendments
and
then
the
issues
surrounding
displacement,
starting
with
mr.
councilmember
Cunningham.
Thank.
L
L
A
Right
so
we're
gonna
get
those
passed
out
and
so
folks
have
an
opportunity
to
maybe
share
if
there
aren't
enough
but
looks
like
there's
a
lot
of
them
and
councilmember
Cunningham.
Why
don't
you
begin
and
just
go
through
each
of
the
changes
you're
perusing
today
and
mr.
Frank
can
put
them
up
on
the
screen
as
well,
for
those
who
haven't
yet
gotten
a
copy
all.
L
Right,
thank
you.
So
much
I
also
am
happy
to
yield
at
any
time
with
the
chairs
permission
to
council
member
I'll.
Listen
to
add
any
additional
information
about
these
amendments,
and
as
mentioned,
he
will
be
bringing
forward
a
separate
staff
direction.
So
for
amendment
number,
one
at
the
start
of
our
community-based,
a
public
forum
council,
member
and
I
incurred
to
space
with
these
shared
values
between
us
as
council
members
in
the
community.
A
panelist
at
the
forum
responded
to
that
way.
That's
really
great
to
hear,
but
where
is
that
listed
in
the
concept
plan?
L
So
this
amendment
is
meant
to
create
a
new
page
three,
namely
these
shared
values.
To
address
that
these
values
are
foundational
commitments,
particularly
to
ensure
people
of
color
on
the
north
side
are
the
primary
beneficiaries
of
this
development
project.
The
amendment
reads:
values
recognizing
this
redevelopment
project
is
happening
and
within
a
vulnerable
community
and
represents
us
if
accan
opportunity
to
build
community
wealth
on
the
north
side,
the
city
and
pRb
and
the
development
team
are
doing
business
differently
by
bringing
the
following
values
to
the
upper
harbour
terminal
redevelopment
project,
disruption
of
gentrification
and
displacement.
L
Racial
equity
and
justice,
community
ownership,
environmental
justice
and
sustainability
and
affordable
housing
and
valuing
public
space
and
infrastructure.
Amendment
number
2
that's
being
brought
forward.
There
is
one
technical
amendment
correcting
the
upper
harbor
terminal
community
advisory
committee
to
by
deleting
advisory
and.
L
Replacing
it
with
planning
and
engagement,
to
reflect
the
amended
resolution
that
we
that
was
approved
as
well
as
more
accurately
capture
the
type
of
work
this
community
group
will
be
doing.
The
second
amendment
is
the
inclusion
of
an
analysis
of
options
for
the
land
being
held
remaining
in
public
trust
and
I
wanted
to
yield
to
councilmember
Allison
cuz
I
know
this.
Some
he's
excited
about.
Yes,.
I
Thank
you
all.
Also
I
I'll
be
chairing
the
committee
until
councilmember
Goodman
gets
back.
She
had
to
step
out
for
a
reason,
so
this
might
look
like
a
small
adjustment
to
the
plan.
The
city
will
explore
options
for
the
land
to
be
held
in
public
trust.
The,
but
I
actually
think
it's
a
really
big
deal
for
this
project.
I
You
know
this
is
this:
is
the
river
as
councilmember
Gordon
has
mentioned,
as
a
lot
of
community
members
have
mentioned,
we
currently
own
this
site,
and
while
we
want
to
see
this
site
activated-
and
we
want
folks,
we
want
the
development
team
to
make
sure
that
they
do
what's
in
the
public's
best
interest.
You
know
the
city
also
has
to
do
what's
in
the
public's
best
interest
and
I
think
they're,
having
real
options
to
explore
and
to
ultimately
making
it
a
priority
to
ensure
that
the
public
continues
to
own
the
land.
I
Underneath
the
development
is
really
the
intention
of
this
bullet
point
and
and
and
I
think
that's
a
big
deal.
You
know,
god
forbid,
that
one
of
these
building
slides
into
the
into
the
river
you
know
we
don't
want
to
see
that
parcel,
then
all
of
a
sudden,
privately-owned
and
out
of
out
of
the
public's
hands,
and
so
this
amendment
is
really
to
get
at
making
sure
that
we
could
still
have
amenities
on
the
river
while
making
sure
that
we're
committing
ourselves
and
and
and
in
maintaining
our
responsibilities
to
the
public.
So
thank
you.
I.
L
Think
he
comes
remember
Ellison,
so
then
amendment
number
three:
there
are
several
changes
within
it,
which
is
the
community
benefits
section
first,
community
voice
in
the
co-creation
process
and
benefit
community
and
a
community
benefits.
Agreement
has
been
embedded
in
the
first
paragraph
to
read.
In
addition
to
pursuing
the
sustainability
goals
noted
in
the
next
section,
the
development
team
and
the
upper
harbor
terminal,
Community
Planning
and
engagement
committee
will
be
exploring
and
researching
the
following
community
benefits
concepts
during
the
next
stage
of
planning
and
the
additional
there.
The
addition
of
the
community
benefits
community.
L
I
Yes,
just
wanted
to
add
to
that.
There's
this
question
of
CVS
and
I
and
community
benefits
agreements
and
I'm
glad
that
councilman
Baccano
sort
of
mentioned
it
and
force
the
issue,
it's
something
that
is
difficult
to
navigate,
for
instance,
if
if
the
city
has
this
agreement
with
a
developer,
who
is
the
third
party
right?
Who
is?
Who
is
the
the
community
party
and
the
reason
I
think
that
that
is
incredibly
important
is
for
two
reasons.
I
One
is
because
we
know
that
it's
difficult
for
community
organizations,
whether
it's
a
non-profit
or
a
neighborhood
group,
to
stand
firmly
and
say
you
know
hey
this
is
we
are
the
representative
of
the
community?
Furthermore,
I
think
that,
let's
say
and
I'm
not
making
any
comment
about
any
particular
developer.
But
let's
say
the
developer
decided
to
break
their
contract
of
the
seed
of
the
community
benefits
agreement.
I
Who
would
be
the
entity
to
litigate
right
and
would
that
entity
have
enough
backing
enough
support
enough
money,
for
instance,
to
make
sure
that
the
develop
to
hold
the
developer
accountable?
If,
in
the
instance
that
and
speaking
hypothetically
here
that
they
broke
a
community
benefits
agreement,
the
city?
I
Certainly
would
have
that
framework
to
to
to
force
that
kind
of
accountability,
and
so
that's
really
the
the
language
here,
although
to
councilmember
Connells
point,
you
know
if
there
is
a
real
desire
to
have
a
CBA
that
is
not
between
the
city
and
the
developer,
I'm
open
to
exploring
that,
but
but
as
of
right
now,
I
do
feel
like
we
haven't,
landed
on
a
solid
question
of
how.
How
would
that
that
tool
be,
have
any
accountability
to
it
and
who
would
be
the
the
entity
to
hold
the
developer
accountable?
That's
why
it's
worded
this
way.
L
Under
the
outdoor
peripheral
door,
music
performance
venue
section
of
the
community
benefits
section,
an
additional
item
has
been
added
to
read
a
potential
partnership
with
Minneapolis
Public
Schools,
promote
and
music
education
and
programming
opportunities.
Also
I
have
been
actively
working
with
the
city
CFO,
to
figure
out
a
way
to
leverage
this
development,
to
create
an
ongoing
fund
to
be
able
to
invest
in
anti
displacement
strategies
and
subsidizing
the
first-floor
businesses
so
that
they
can
remain
affordable
to
entrepreneurs,
Northside
entrepreneurs,
this
change.
This
change
is
meant
to
reflect
or
I'm
sorry.
This
change
reads.
L
Additionally,
the
city
will
explore
pathways
for
long-term
funding
of
displacement
mitigation
strategies
and
offsetting
costs
for
for
first
floor
commercial
spaces,
I'm
excited
about
the
product
of
progress
that
we've
had
in
these
discussions
and
that
we
are
going
to
be
able
to
figure
out
a
way
to
make
sure
that
that
there
aren't
just
recommendations
about
strategies.
Folks
would
like
to
see,
but
there's
actually
funding
behind
that
to
be
able
to
make
them
come
to
help
them
come
to
fruition.
L
The
housing
component
section
has
some
significant
changes
to
ensure
we
are
aligned
with
the
minneapolis
promise
zone
goal
of
promoting
stable
housing
innovative,
as
well
as
innovative
housing
strategies
and
deeper
affordability.
It
reads
in
addition
to
providing
additional
new
market
rate
housing
opportunities
to
community
residents.
The
phase
1
housing
component
will
provide
units
affordable
at
thirty
to
sixty
percent
of
the
area
median
income.
This
is
an
alignment
with
the
Minneapolis
promise
zone
goal
of
promoting
stable
housing.
L
Innovative
housing
strategies
such
as
intergenerational
multi-family
housing,
will
be
taken
into
consideration
by
the
development
team
and
the
upper
harbor
terminal,
Community
Planning
and
engagement
committee.
Then
we
have
struck
out
the
goal
struck
out
the
next
sentence,
followed
by
if
sufficient,
affordable,
housing
funding
resources
are
available.
The
goal
is
for
40%
of
the
units
to
be
affordable
at
least
60%
ami
and
secure
vouchers
and
additional
funding
for
deeply
affordable
units
at
30%
and
we
and
then
import.
K
L
Apologize
there's
30
pages,
so
the
hospitality
component
that
has
been
struck
originally.
So
what
has
been
struck
is
the
development
team
will
retain
ownership
of
the
hospitality
component
and
thus
will
be
able
to
work
with
the
man
with
the
management
company.
So
that
has
been
struck
and
what
has
been
put
into
its
place
is
community
input
will
inform
the
types
of
hospitality
use
is
preferred
and
the
size
of
the
general
design
of
the
building,
including
how
the
designs
of
the
river
and
dowling
applause
asides
relate
to
the
adjacent
part
part
face.
L
The
hospitality
element
should
seek
to
include,
but
not
be
limited
to
a
community
center
banquet
hall,
hostel
and
or
some
form
of
permanent
housing,
then
for
amendment
number
four
is
so
it
if
the
change
is
under
outdoor
music
performance
venue.
In
the
second
paragraph,
what
has
been
struck
is
from
the
first
sentence.
Community
input
will
help
shape
the
director
details
of
the
design
of
the
facility
and
community
programming
and
as
struck,
but
will
not
be
the
deciding
factor.
L
Whether
or
not
there
is
a
venue,
then
it
says,
community
input
can
also
inform
the
size
and
scale
if
it
is
within
a
seven
thousand
to
ten
thousand
person
capacity.
Council
approval
will
be
needed
if
the
scale
of
the
proposed
outdoor
music
venue
performance
venue
drops
below
seven
thousand
capacity
or
exceeds
ten
thousand
capacity.
Based
on
the
recommendations
of
the
upper
harbour
terminal,
Community,
Planning
and
engagement
committee
under
the
hub,
there
has
been
changes
for
it
to
now.
L
Read
that
uses
2bx
that
uses
to
be
explored
may
include
office
space
for
a
and
a
local,
innovative
food
and
green
businesses
and
I
will
just
add
real
quickly.
That
I
had
originally
wanted
to
propose
putting
a
legal
cannabis.
Business
incubator
but
I
couldn't
put
that
in
the
concept
plan.
I
could
put
it
in
there
so
and
then
adding
the
sentence
of
in
alignment
with
the
minneapolis
promise
zone
goal
to
build
an
inclusive
economy.
L
This
hub
is
been
to
create
green
jobs
and
careers
with
little
livable
wages
and
expand
north
side
entrepreneurship
under
next
state
steps
with
the
community
engagement.
This
is
where
we
are
able
to
get
a
little
bit
more
teeth
onto
what
exactly
the
work
will
look
like
for
the
community
engagement
planning
and
engagement
committee.
So
first
the
group
will
review
the
concept
plan
and
make
any
recommendations
for
improvements
on
it
within
the
first
60
days
after
the
first
convening
of
that
committee,
and
so
the
recommendations
will
then
be
we're.
Gonna
do
a
deep
dive
into
it.
L
This
is
what's
missing.
This
is
what
we
don't
like.
This
is
what
we
want
to
look
more
into
you,
and
then
that
is
going
to
be
taken,
then
moving
forward
to
the
court
data
plan,
because
that's
really
where
the
meat
of
it
is
then.
Second,
as
councilmember
Connell
brought
up
the
development
team,
the
city,
the
parks
and
then
the
committee
we're
all
going
to
work
together
to
develop
what
those
three
scenarios
that
are
going
to
be
run
through
for
financial
feasibility
and
environmental
impact.
L
So
that's
going
to
be
able
to
help
folks
get
a
lot
of
deep
information
about
what
are
the
trade-offs
in
comparison
to
community
impacts
and
so
like
what
is
if
we
know
that
this
is
going
to
cause.
This
is
that
a
decision
that
we
are
willing
to
make,
and
so
that
is
the
sort
of
deep
deliberations
that
this
group
will
be
working
on
and
then
also
to
support
this
community
to
lead
more
in
depth
in
long
term.
L
And
now
we
can
add
on
to
that
so
yeah
give
a
round
of
applause
and
Chuck.
Stick
is
always
happy
to
support
North,
Side,
kids
and
then
also
the
group
will
be
supported
in
the
committee's
participation
in
and
centering
of,
deliberative
democratic
strategies
and
something
that
has
been
frequently
requested
is
eco
district
protocols.
L
Following
that
strategies
emphasized
emphasizing
democratic
participation
and
co-creation
will
be
explored,
as
well
as
community
engagement
strategies
recommended
by
the
upper
harbor
terminal
community
planning
and
engagement
committee.
The
underlying
principles
of
the
strategies
employees
should
include
but
limited
to
transparency
and
decision-making,
including
the
consideration
and
clear
communication
of
multiple
options
based
on
desirability
and
feasibility
co-creation
between
community
members
and
the
development
team.
Through
each
step
of
the
process.
The
engagement
that
draws
in
new
participants
and
seeks
to
close
potential
knowledge
gaps
between
the
technical
experts
and
community
members
and
vice
versa.
L
I
Just
just
wanted
to
say
that
for
those
who
have
been
having
conversations
with
councilor,
Cunningham
and
I
in
the
last
two
weeks
month,
you're
gonna
recognize
some
of
that
language
as
your
own
language,
because
it
is
and
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
while
I
think
it
is
helpful
to
have
those
community
members
who
can
do
a
deep
dive
right.
As
with
the
the
CPEC
right,
it's
not
to
be
confused
with
the
CPAC.
I
There's,
but
nothing
could
no
formal
strategy
could
stand
in
place
of
continued
community
engagement.
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
you
know
you
know,
as
we
stepped
into
these
roles
and
inherited
this
project.
I
think
that
you
know
infusing
this
project
from
here
forward
and
making
sure
that
that
we
don't
sort
of
miss
the
mark.
I
I
want
to
say
that
everybody
involved
in
this
in
this
project
worked
really
hard,
I
think
to
make
sure
that
community
engagement
happened,
but
I
do
think
through
my
conversations
with
community
members
and
community
stakeholders
that
we
somehow
missed
the
mark
right
and
so
making
sure
that
these
principles
are
embedded
in
that
and
that
our
governing
philosophy,
as
the
new
council
members
in
wards
for
awards,
five
are
embedded
to
make
sure
that
this
that
this
group
gets
that
community
voices
in
this
process
get
broader
and
deeper
is
really
important.
Just
wanted
to
name
that.
L
L
So
just
wanted
to
write
that
very
clearly
in
there
that
there,
a
racial
equity
framework
is
essential
and
will
be
expected
as
a
part
of
this
project.
Additionally,
we
just
crossed
out
other,
because
we
have
addressed
that
in
other
areas,
all
right
and
then
thank
you,
everybody
for
being
super
patient.
So
then
the
final
amendment
is
amendment
number
five.
This
is
in
collaboration
with
councilmembers,
Ellison
and
Gordon.
L
So
I
just
wanted
to
add
I'll
just
read
through
what
the
first
paragraph
so
the
city,
MP
RB
and
development
team
shared
the
goal
of
implementing
a
redevelopment
project
that
is
sustainable
and
then
we
added
innovative
and
responds
to
community
interests,
as
well
as
city
goals
and
policies.
Environmental,
justice
and
sustainability
are
values.
Within
this
redevelopment
project.
Minneapolis
climate
action
plan
goals
will
be
named
in
the
coordinated
plan.
So
there
is
that
and
then
I
want
to
turn
it
over.
Actually,
the
council
member
Gordon
to
talk
about.
K
Well,
our
intention
there
was
to
raise
the
standards
a
little
bit
higher,
and
this
is
something
that
happens
throughout
the
state
and
also
in
st.
Paul.
So
the
st.
Paul
I
was
looking
at
what
the
they're
doing
in
their
redevelopment
at
the
Ford
plant
and
they
say
that
all
buildings
will
meet
the
state's
p3
standards.
L
This
would
include
ways
to
maximize
energy
efficiency
and
conservation,
renewable
energy
generation
and
use
district
heating
and
cooling
and
elimination
of
dependence
on
natural
gas.
These
options
are
to
be
prioritized
unless
it
is
determined
that
doing
so
would
would
significantly
impact
the
cost
of
the
project.
In
this
event,
the
City
Council
approval
is
required
for
further
action
and
then
the
last
component,
which
I
heard
very
loud
and
clear
with
green
zones,
we
make
sure
green
zones
are
a
part
of
of
this.
This
work-
it's
it's
within
it,
so
explicitly
named
here
within
the
sustainability
space.
L
So
here
it
reads:
green
zones,
the
northern
green
zone,
is
a
place-based
policy
initiative
aimed
at
improving
health
and
supporting
economic
development
using
environmentally
conscious
efforts
in
communities
that
face
the
cumulative
effects
of
environmental
pollution,
as
well
as
social,
political
and
economic
vulnerability.
Given
this
product
development
project
will
take
place
within
a
green
zone,
collaboration
with
the
northern
green
zone
committee
and
incorporating
the
twelve
green
zone
goals,
where
applicable
in
the
coordinated
plan.
So
with
that,
madam
chair
I
would
like
to
move
those
five
amendments
for
approval.
A
I
You,
madam
chair
I've,
had
a
lot
of
conversations
with
community
members
about
anti
displacement,
work
into
displacement
policy
work.
What's
the
city
doing
on
this,
and
and
certainly
terms
like
gentrification
and
policy
ideas
like
anti
displacement,
anti
gentrification,
those
terms
have
been
around
for
a
long
time,
but
cities
around
the
country
have
just
started
implementing
them
within
the
last
handful
of
years
in
Minneapolis
in
Minneapolis,
we're
looking
to
join
in
those
cities
who
are
who
are
taking
up
this
work
to
that
end
in
the
pack
for
the
past
year
or
so
council
members
are
council.
I
Vice-President
Andrea,
Jenkins
and
I
have
been
meeting
with
other
cities.
You
know
via
conference
call,
as
well
as
going
to
a
few
other
cities
to
talk
to
them
about
different
policies.
They've
been
engaging
in
to
to
make
anti
displacement
real
and
I
want
to
say
that
on
the
down
side,
those
places
have
been.
You
know,
places
like
Austin
in
Portland
and
San
Francisco.
The
good
thing
is
that
they're
doing
them.
I
The
downside
is
that
they
started
implementing
these
policies
at
a
time
where
they
reached
a
critical
point
with
displacement,
and
while
we
are
headed
towards
that
point,
we
have
not
yet
reached
that
same
critical
point.
That
cities
like
Portland
and
San,
Francisco
and
Austin
got
to
so
I
think
pushing
forward
and
getting
serious
about
anti
displacement.
Policies
now
could
put
us
in
a
better
position
and
so
I
have
a
staff
direction
too.
I
That
really
makes
that
really
solidifies
the
work
that
Andrew
Jenkins
and
I,
along
with
city
staff
and
community
members,
hope
community
and
the
Alliance
for
mr.
stability,
have
been
working
on
and
start
to
dig
deep
on
on
how
to
make
that
those
policy.
Research
real
here
at
the
city,
so
community
planning
and
economic
development
staff
is
directed
to
report
back
economic
development
and
regulatory
regulatory
services
committee
in
the
second
quarter
of
2019,
with
recommendations
as
follows.
I
Staff
will
recommend
how
to
build
on
the
work
of
the
anti
displacement
policy
network
using
the
upper
harbor
terminal
project
as
a
pilot
since
April
2018,
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
together
with
st.
Paul,
has
been
part
of
the
an
to
displacement
policy
network
which
is
hosted
by
policy
link
and
includes
ten
pier
cities
from
across
the
country.
Cities
have
shared
best
practices
and
strategies
for
preventing
displacement
and
improving
housing,
security
for
low-income
people,
indigenous
people,
marginalized
LGBTQ
people
and
people
of
color.
The
Minneapolis
st.
I
Paul
team
consists
of
policy
makers,
city
staff
and
representatives
from
community-based
organizations.
The
team
will
be
hosting
a
community
forum
this
spring
to
share
what
it
has
learned
through
participation
in
the
network
and
to
share
potential
policy
ideas
to
help
mitigate
displacement
staff
will
recommend
which
anti
displacement
policy
network
policy
ideas
should
be
considered
for
pilot
programs
and
how
the
pilot,
anti
displacement
strategies
should
be
aligned
with
the
development
of
the
coordinated
plan
for
upper
harbor
terminal
staff.
I
Recommendations
will
consider
city
of
authority
and
financial
and
market
feasibility
staff
will
also
recommend
that
group
that
what
group
should
work
on
exploring
the
viability
of
policy
ideas
and
developing
a
strategy
to
turn
the
policy
ideas
in
the
pilot
programs.
This
group
will
design
the
pilot
programs
make
recommendations
for
the
geographic
areas
in
which
they
should
be
operative
and
also
what
metrics
should
be
used
to
evaluate
the
social
impact
of
the
programs
and
so
by
having
this
work
run
concurrent
alongside
upper
harbour
terminal,
but
not
be
tied
to
up
our
harbor
terminal.
I
A
N
N
Upper
harbour
terminal
has
the
ability
to
be
a
transformational
project
for
quite
a
long
time.
There
has
been
very
intentional
disinvestment
from
a
community
that
is
deserving
from
a
community
that
is
talented
and
exceptional
in
every
single
way,
but
has
been
intentionally
separated
from
one
of
its
most
vital
assets,
which
is
that
riverfront
by
a
whole
lot
of
heavy
industrial,
followed
by
a
massive
highway
and
into
getting
to
a
yes
solution.
It
requires
a
whole
lot
of
community
engagement.
N
It
requires
difficult
conversations
and
it
requires
amendments
like
the
ones
that
we
just
saw
put
forward
by
councilmembers,
Cunningham
and
councilmembers.
Ellison
and
I
cannot
say.
Thank
you
enough.
The
the
work
that
you
did
highlighted
by
I
think
one
statement.
I,
don't
remember
who
made
it
where
you
said.
If
you
recognize
the
language
it
should,
because
you
wrote
it.
That
was
poignant.
That
was
powerful
and
that's
community
engagement
right.
N
Thank
you
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
and
councilmember
Cunningham
I
know
you've
had
to
navigate
a
difficult
process
and
you've
done
so
with
style,
chair
goodman.
Thank
you
as
well
for
helping
to
usher
the
the
project
through
even
through
difficulty.
I
could
thank
every
single
person
on
the
committee,
I'm
quite
certain
to
our
staff.
Thank
you.
N
And
while
we
are
only
a
concept
plan
at
this
stage,
I
think
we're
going
in
the
right
direction
and
working
with
community
towards
a
final
product
is
gonna,
be
essential
and
we're
gonna
be
doing
so
with
the
community.
And
thank
you
thank
you.
We're
going
to
be
doing
so
with
the
development
team
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
work
as
well.
N
This
this
requires
a
whole
lot
of
moving
parts
and
a
whole
lot
of
different
people
working
together,
and
you
know
what
I'm
proud
to
say
that
we're
getting
there
so
again,
thank
you
for
all
of
your
work.
I'm,
proud
to
be
a
part
of
it
and,
of
course,
I'm
for
the
the
concept
design
with
the
amendment
that
it's
bet
to
present
state.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I,
also
want
to
thank
the
council
members
who
have
been
leading
the
charge
on
this
issue,
particularly
councilmember
Philippe,
Cunningham
and
councilmember.
Ellison
I
do
have
a
question
and
a
friendly
amendment
to
the
staff
direction
that
comes
member
Ellison
just
put
forward
and
I'm
wondering
if
you
would
be
open
to
adding
two
pieces
of
language
here.
E
The
the
part
where
it
says
staff
will
recommend
how
to
build
on
the
work
of
the
anti
displacement
policy
network,
using
both
the
upper
harbour
terminal
project,
as
well
as
the
northern
and
southern
green
zones
as
a
pilot
as
well
as
lower.
In
the
same
paragraph
adding
the
word,
the
terms,
immigrant
families,
after
LGBTQ
people
and
before
people
of
color.
I
I'm
definitely
open
to
the
site
absolutely
with
the
Second
Amendment,
the
First
Amendment
on
the
the
network.
I
had
a
sort
of
vetted
UHT
with
the
network
and
I.
Have
it
vetted
the
green
zones
with
the
network
I'm
sure
they'd
be
open,
but
I
would
feel
a
little
bad
signing
them
up
for
work.
Would
they
have
all
right
cool,
then
I'm
open
to
the
moment.
As
long
as
can
we
have
you
chatted
that
down
so
I
can
have
that
already
yep.
E
A
K
O
Madam
chair
and
thanks
for
indulging
I'm
not
on
this
committee
but
I
have
been
on
the
steering
committee
for
some
time
and
I
think
we've
got
a
framework
here.
We
can
really
move
from
concept
to
plan
in
a
very
meaningful
way
in
a
very
valued
ribbon.
Wave
now,
I'll
give
one
example:
you
know
we
referenced
the
integrated
utility
hub
as
a
concept.
O
Well,
as
a
concept
is
kind
of
cool
kind
of
neat
for
people
who,
like
infrastructure
and
the
possibility
to
create
you,
know
good
water,
quality
and
good
energy
efficiency,
but
to
connect
that
to
the
economic
development
goals
in
concept,
but
to
do
it
as
a
plan
and
then
hopefully
a
reality.
That's
where
we
take
these
nuts
and
bolts
the
elements
of
our
infrastructure,
our
property
and
turned
it
into
value,
not
indirect
value,
but
direct
value.
O
This
inexpensive
water
and
inexpensive
electricity
hooked
up
to
the
economic
development
ideas
that
have
come
from
community
through
urban
AG,
etc.
Guess
what
they
need:
water
and
electricity.
Well,
it's
our
water,
our
electricity.
If
this
plan
is
done
right
and
I
know
the
departments
who
are
involved
in
some
of
them,
nuts
u-bolt
see
stuff,
not
the
stuff
that
makes
the
star
to
bear
in
headlines,
they're
committed
to
infusing
the
values
that
you
have
generated
with
your
leadership
here.
O
Those
values
can
become
their
guiding
principles
as
well,
and
it's
great
because
their
engineers
are
smart
people
and
they
bring
a
lot
of
resources.
The
table,
our
resources,
so
I'm
very
committed
to
that
work
will
continue
as
a
student
committee
as
a
colleague
to
my
northern
colleagues,
but
also
to
make
sure
that
the
unsexy
stuff
of
interest
structure
is
front
and
center
in
terms
of
being
in
economic
and
Community
Development
Goals.
So
thanks.
B
Thank
you
check
it.
Man
I
just
want
to
echo
the
comments
of
council
president
Pender
and
the
mayor
and
thinking
councilmember,
Cunningham
and
council
Morales
and
for
really
doing
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
on
this.
This
is
a
lot
of
change
to
a
concept
plan
and
you
know
I.
Reading
the
room
I
can
see
that
there
are
some
people
who
are
really
happy
with
these
changes.
I
can
see
that
there
are
some
people
who
will
still
not
view
this
as
a
victory.
B
You
know
to
see
voted,
but
but
I
think
it's
really
important
that
people
know
your
voices
were
heard
and
there's
a
lot
of
change
here.
That's
very
responsive
to
what
the
the
feedback
we've
all
been
getting.
There's
a
lot
to
feel
very
good
about,
and
I'm
excited
to
see
it
move
forward
under
both
of
your
leadership.
I
think
I've
really
appreciated
being
able
to
rely
on
your
work
and
and
your
good
instincts
for
community
engagement
as
we
move
this
project
forward.
So
thank
you.
Okay,.
A
L
L
L
There
has
not
been
a
history,
a
long
history
of
seeing
positive
investment
actually
from
an
institution
like
the
city
or
developers
to
really
see
that
being
invested
in
our
community
without
some
underlying
motive,
and
this
is
a
trust-building
process
as
well
as
a
system's
changing
process,
because
you
know
as
we're
changing
things
within
the
system.
It's
like.
We
have
to
be
changing
processes
and
that's.
L
We
ultimately
want
the
same
thing
and
I
just
asked
for
folks
to
stay
energized
and
remain
engaged
and
participate
in
the
process
as
we
move
towards
the
coordinated
plan,
because
that's
where
we
actually
get
into
the
details,
operationalize
Ecklie
and
get
the
work
done
so
I,
just
don't
want
folks
to
to
you,
know,
walk
out
when
it
comes
to
the
concept
plan
and
say
well,
dang
I
just
missed,
like
my
whole
opportunity.
That's
actually
just
the
beginning.
I,
like
the
concept
plan.
Approval
is
just
the
beginning
of
our
journey
together
and
I.
A
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
also
wanted
to
thank
Council.
Nora
Cunningham
I
know
that
there
were
points
in
this
entire
project
process
that
were
incredibly
frustrating
for
both
of
us,
right
and
and
and
and
getting
to
this
point
where
we
have
a
plan
where
community
voices
are
centered,
I
think
was
both
of
our
intention
and
I.
Think
we
I
think
we
met
that
intention
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
your
patience
with
me.
Anybody
who
knows
me
knows
that
I
can
be
a
little
bit
difficult.
I
I
I
I
will
have
stuck
my
teeth
into
this
project
and
into
engaging
with
you
to
the
point
where
you
you
know.
We
don't
have
this
many
concerns.
We
don't
have
this
many
questions.
There
aren't
so
many
unanswered
questions
about
what's
going
on
with
the
plan,
and
so
my
commitment
is
to
be
involved
in
this
planet
to
make
sure
that
your
voice
continues
to
be
centered
as
we
as
we
move
forward,
and
so
thank
you
all
for
being
here.
Thank
you
for
causing
a
bit
of
a
stir,
and-
and
thank
you
for
for
your
support
of
me.
A
The
motion
is
the
main
motion,
along
with
councilmember
Cunningham's
amendments
council,
member
Ellison
staff
direction,
as
amended
by
councilmember
Cano.
That's
what's
in
front
of
us
I'm,
pretty
clear.
The
clerk
understands
that
on
the
motion
to
approve
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
any
opposed.
That
item
is
approved,
seeing
no
further
business
before
us.
We
stand
adjourned.
