Description
Minneapolis Housing Policy & Development Committee Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov
A
A
We've
got
two
items
on
our
cent
agenda.
We
have
a
public
hearing
and
then
we
have
one
piece
of
unfinished
business:
I'd
like
to
take
up
the
consent
agenda.
First.
The
first
consent
item
is
release
of
notice
of
funding
availability
for
our
housing
stabilization
pilot
program,
and
the
second
is
referring
to
staff.
Subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amendment
related
to
the
summit
house,
housing
improvement
area.
A
Would
anyone
like
to
pull
any
of
those
for
discussion,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed,
say
no.
That
motion
carries
then
we'll
go
on
to
our
public
hearing
item.
This
is
a
land
sale
for
the
missing
middle
housing
pilot
program,
and
this
is
land
sales
I
guess
we
could
say,
and
we're
going
to
have
Kevin,
give
us
a
presentation
and
is
it
Kevin,
canacee
or
conocĂ
kinase
kinase.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
Thank
you.
Increasing
the
production
of
affordable
housing
and
creating
a
diversity
of
housing
options,
so
missing
middle
housing
types
tend
to
be
more
affordable
and
they
also
allow
people
with
varying
needs
to
have
housing
options
within
the
city
that
currently
don't
exist.
We're
also
able
to
leverage
the
funding
that
were
fighting
through
this
program
to
create
additional
units
within
the
developments.
B
Our
third
item
that
we're
looking
at
is
single-family
homes
being
less
dense,
we're
trying
to
increase
the
amount
of
density
that
we
have
so
45
percent
of
units
in
the
city
or
single-family
homes,
but
they
take
up
about
75
or
70
percent
of
the
Lots
that
actually
exist
with
in
the
city
and
when
we're
looking
at
proposing
missle
missing
middle
housing.
These
type
of
units
tend
to
be
kind
of
on
a
unit
by
unit
basis
having
smaller
footprints,
which
allows
us
to
increase
density
and
single
family
lots.
B
It
also
allows
for
more
residents
to
live
in
the
city,
which
then
those
residents
can
contribute
to
the
tax
base,
visit
local
businesses
and
then
also
spend
good
money
or
spend
money
on
goods
and
services
within
the
city.
And
then
our
final
goal
is
increasing
housing
that
has
features
that
meet
different
community
needs.
So,
looking
at
that,
we
incentivized
or
prioritized
developments
that
provide
more
bedrooms
so
like
three
plus
bedrooms.
B
Developments
that
have
sustainable
designs,
either
incorporating
the
sustainable
design
features
or
committing
to
do
green
certification
through
different
sustainable
programs
and
then
proposals
that
could
be
replicable
on
other
sites.
For
the
city,
so
we
looked
at
projects
that
could
serve
as
a
demonstration
for
future
city
sites.
B
So
the
program
is
to
applicable
program
income
limits,
depending
on,
if
it's
rental
or
homeownership,
so
on
the
rental
side,
we're
requiring
that
developments
that
are
funded,
serve
20%
of
or
the
units
that
they
have,
20%
of
which
would
be
serving
50%
ami
households.
So
for
a
family
of
four
that
would
be
a
household
making
at
or
below
50%
of
area
median
income
on
the
ownership
side.
We're
requiring
that
at
least
10%
of
units
serve
80%,
ami
households.
B
So
what
that
would
mean
is
a
family
of
four
has
to
make
at
or
below
seventy
five
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
and
what
that
looks
like
when
you're
looking
at
either
the
purchase
price
or
the
rents
that
are
being
charged
on
the
ownership
side.
That
would
mean
that
a
family
that
is
buying
a
home
would
be
buying
a
home.
B
That's
no
more
than
two
hundred
fifty
four
thousand
five
hundred
kind
of
with
some
general
assumptions
about
mortgage
rates
and
just
the
general
market,
and
then
what
that
would
translate
to
on
a
mortgage
that
they're
paying
on
a
monthly
basis,
would
be
about
fifteen
hundred
dollars
a
month
for
the
rental
side.
We're
looking
at
50%
ami
rents,
so
that
would
be
a
rent
between
eight
hundred
and
seventy
five
dollars
for
an
efficiency
or
studio
up
to
four
hundred.
B
The
pilot
is
providing
funding
based
on
demonstrated
need,
and
it's
only
to
the
applicable,
affordable
units.
So
our
program
would
provide
up
to
seventy
thousand
dollars
per
the
affordable
unit
that
we're
funding,
with
one
caveat
that
if
a
project
demonstrates
a
compelling
need
for
additional
subsidy,
that
there
would
be
an
eligibility
of
an
additional
$25,000
per
unit,
so
that'd
be
something
like
a
partnership
through
a
nonprofit
that
provides
specialized
services
or
that
incorporates
additional
green
features.
B
Well
beyond
our
requirements,
the
affordable
units
that
were
funding
have
to
remain
affordable
for
at
least
thirty
years
and
on
the
rental
side
that
would
be
secured
with
a
mortgage
and
and
then
I'm
in
the
homeownership
side.
That
would
be
secured
with
a
deed
covenant
of
restrictions,
and
the
benefit
is
that,
while
we're
funding
the
affordable
units
and
a
lot
of
the
proposals
that
we
received,
including
ones
that
were
recommending
today,
a
number
of
them
have
both
affordable
units
and
then
additional
units
that
were
not
funding.
B
So
that
was
something
that
was
also
great
to
see
from
this
and
as
a
result
of
the
RFP,
we
did
receive
a
couple
of
proposals
that,
while
they
met
the
requirements
of
missing
middle,
they
also
complied
with
our
Minneapolis
Homes
Development
Assistance
Program,
that
traditionally
funds
1
for
unit
proposals
and
because
they
did
meet
those
requirements.
We
move
forward
a
recommendation
to
City
Council
in
December
that
you
approved
for
two
projects.
B
B
We're
recommending
that
we
use
or
Minneapolis
homes
funding
to
fill
the
gap,
and
what
this
would
mean
is
that
the
City
Council
allocated
$500,000
to
the
program
which
exceeded
our
and
the
request
exceeds
our
original
Minneapolis
missing
middle
budget,
but
because
of
the
merits
of
these
projects
and
the
outcomes
of
affordable
units,
we're
recommending,
we
use
funding
allocated
to
our
existing
housing
programs
to
fill
that
need.
This
would
be
achieved
by
utilizing
the
home
in
Minneapolis
homes,
budgets.
Oh.
C
Thank
you,
I!
Don't
want
to
interrupt
so
you
can
see
this
question
now
or
at
the
end,
but
I
am
really
curious
about
all
of
the
other
applications
that
you
got
and
I
remember.
We
changed
the
criteria
of
this
program
to
only
allow
redevelopment
if
I
remember
correctly,
on
vacant
lots
not
on
places
if
there
are
existing
buildings
today,
so
I
just
I
still
have
questions
about
what
we're
missing,
potentially
from
that
from
that
policy
decision.
C
So
I'm
excited
to
hear
about
the
projects
are
recommending
and
I
know
it's
a
very
small
pool
of
money.
So
I
don't
doubt
that
these
are
great
projects
and
should
be
a
priority,
but
I
also
just
to
inform
kind
of
our
path
going
forward.
Maybe
at
the
end
would
welcome
a
little
more
information
about
one
of
the
other
applications
you
saw
or
what
were?
Did
you
hear
from
interesting
projects
that
don't
meet
the
current
criteria
that
we
could
continue
to
think
about
other
ways
to
support
if
they
do
meet
city
priorities?
Great.
B
Gordon
council
member
vendor,
so
we
did
actually
allow
for
proposals
that
were
on
sites
that
had
buildings
that
were
currently
on
them.
The
requirement
is
that
we
just
couldn't
have
a
loss
of
net
units.
We
didn't
receive
proposals
that
would
have
proposed
to
demolish
a
structure
and
rebuild
Unix,
except
for
one
other
thing
today.
A
B
Certainly
so
we
had
21
proposals,
a
mix
from
20
units
of
housing,
all
the
way
down
to
triplexes
and
throughout
the
city
on
both
privately
owned
sites
and
sinuan
sites.
We
were
really
excited
about
the
proposals.
It
was
just
that
there
was
a
limited
set
of
funding
that
was
available
and
that's
why
we're
moving
forward
with
recommendations
that
we
have
today.
B
So
with
that,
I
wanted
to
touch
on
your
recommendation.
So
the
first
one
that
we
have
is
the
leaf
townhome
project.
It's
a
privately
owned
site.
It
would
be
an
ownership
development,
that's
long-term,
affordable,
18
units
through
the
city
of
Lakes,
Community,
Land,
Trust
partnering,
with
Twin
Cities
Habitat
for
Humanity
and
the
requesting
$900,000.
B
Our
second
recommendation
is
Lindale
Terrace,
which
is
a
city-owned
project
site.
So
this
is
the
only
city
owned
site.
It
would
be
a
rental
and
townhome
development,
which
is
13
units
3,
which
would
be
long-term,
affordable
and
the
developer
is
proposing
to
do
an
MoU
partnership
with
either
about
our
futures,
Betty's
healing
home
or
similar
organization
and
they're
requesting
285,000,
and
our
final
recommendation
is
soleal
on
34th,
it's
a
privately
owned
site.
B
So
we
had
some
key
learnings
from
the
RFP,
which
I
think
might
answer
some
more
of
the
questions.
We
definitely
received
significant
community
interest
for
these
type
of
developments
and
interest
from
developers
and
community
in
partnering
with
the
city
to
see
them
happen.
Our
city
funding
is
really
what
makes
them
feasible
and
actually
able
her
and
our
subsidy
can
be
leveraged
to
help
create
more
additional
units.
D
I
just
wanted
to
hi
Roxanne
young
Kimball,
chair,
Gordon,
councilmember
bender
will
follow
up
with
a
summary
of
the
proposals
that
were
recommended
and
also
note
that
about
half
of
the
proposals
that
we
received
were
from
developers
that
didn't
really
demonstrate
readiness,
and
so
we
are
intending
to
work
with
those
developers
leading
up
to
a
future
RFP.
In
order
to
make
sure
that
they're
more
ready
and
more
able
to
participate.
C
You
mr.
chair
and
I'm
happy
to
follow
up
separately
too,
but
I
was
curious
if
there
are
other
funding
sources,
you're
thinking
about
potentially
matching
projects
with
or
other
ways
that
we
could
consider
trying
to
help
support
some
of
these
projects
in
the
future.
Mm-Hmm.
C
B
A
B
E
Afternoon,
chair,
Corbett,
good
excuse
me
Gordon
and
members
of
the
Commission.
My
name
is
Chad
Ditman
I'm,
a
project
manager
at
Twin,
Cities
Habitat
for
Humanity
I,
would
have
liked
to
have
had
our
president
mr.
Chris
Coleman
here,
but
he
was
otherwise
engaged
with
the
discussion
on
housing
and
diversity
with
Mayor
Carter
at
this
time
at
our
office,
but
at
habitat
we
are
all
extremely
excited
about
the
staffs
recommendation
for
our
project
overwhelmed
actually
with
their
appreciation
and
flexibility
in
bringing
additional
funds
into
the
missing
middle
program.
E
The
leaf
townhomes
project,
we
think,
is
a
extremely
significant
project.
It's
not
the
first,
but
it's
the
first
in
a
long
time:
partnership
with
City
Lakes,
Community,
Land
Trust
that
will
provide
permanent,
affordable
housing
in
Harrison
neighborhood,
which
is
subject
to
gentrification
pressure.
At
this
time
the
project
resides
at
the
northwest
corner
of
the
of
Wellington
management's
Bassett
Creek
Valley
redevelopment
plan.
So
it
is
on
the
forefront
of
a
massive
redevelopment
project
or
potential
for
a
project.
So
we're
happy
to
be
in
that
spot
at
this
time
and
turn
it
over
to
my
friend
here.
F
Thank
You
chair,
Gordon
councilmembers.
Likewise,
a
very
appreciative
of
the
recommendation.
We,
like
habitat
I,
think
we're
really
committed
to
serving
much
lower
incomes
than
the
cap
suggested
by
the
program.
We've
had
a
lot
of
intentional
conversation
with
the
neighborhood.
As
many
of
you
are
aware,
our
offices
are
located
just
just
blocks
away
from
the
subject
site
and,
as
we've
been
in
the
neighborhood
for
close
to
ten
years,
we've
seen
just
just
rapid
escalation
of
values,
a
lot
of
speculation
that
you
all
are
very
well
and
see.
A
Well,
thank
you
very
much
both
for
being
here
and
send
our
best
to
Chris,
and
let
him
know
that
we
aren't
gonna
be
slighted,
that
it
appears.
This
focuses
a
little
more
on
st.
Paul
today
than
I
Minneapolis,
but
we
were
a
great
partner
with
habitat
and
I,
really
like
the
land.
Trust
model
to
include
something
to
follow
up
on
is.
B
G
Afternoon,
council
members,
my
name
is
Nick
Hoover's
I'm
owner
of
Twin
Cities
home
rental,
which
is
a
property
management
and
development
company.
My
project
will
consist
of
a
three-story
19
unit
mixed-use,
with
just
under
2,000
square
feet
of
commercial
space
locations
at
5,200,
34th,
Avenue,
South,
seven
of
the
19
units
will
be
dedicated
as
affordable.
They
had
50%
ami
for
at
least
the
next
30
years.
G
I'm.
Also
a
Marine,
Corps,
veteran
and
I
will
be
partnering
with
Mack
V
for
those
7
units.
If
you're
not
familiar
a
organization
dedicated
to
help
a
veteran
homelessness,
the
project
is
also
near
the
VA,
which
I
think
will
be
very
beneficial
for
those
veterans.
You
know
I'd
like
to
thank
Kevin.
You
know,
I'm
extremely
excited
about
the
program
is
the
first
time
I've
ever
been
approved
for
any
type
of
grant
like
this,
and
my
project
frankly
wouldn't
build
up
a
move
forward
without
this
program.
A
Well,
thank
you
very
much.
I,
don't
see
any
questions,
but
really
appreciate
you
doing
this
and
coming
forward,
and
maybe
this
won't
be
the
last
time
that
you
come
to
work
with
the
city
on
a
project
like
this
and
I'm,
really
impressed
with
the
partnership
with
the
Veterans
Home
and
with
them.
Thank.
G
H
Afternoon,
I'm
Kyle
Walton,
president
of
classic
lake,
consulting
and
investments.
We
focus
on
economic
development
opportunities
in
black
and
brown
communities.
I'm,
a
native
Minnesotan,
North
Sider.
Our
project
on
24th
and
lyndale
is
really
focused
on
activating
urban
infill
sites,
with
a
replicatable
model
we're
looking
at
wraparound
services.
Hence
the
partnerships
with
organizations
like
better
futures
and
avenues
for
youth.
H
There
are
a
number
of
other
agencies
that
were
in
conversations
and
have
executed
MO
use
with,
but
the
desire
is
to
bring
forth
projects
sponsored
by
people
of
color
in
communities
of
color
that
demonstrate
that
developers
of
color
have
the
capacity
to
have
debated
in
these
communities.
As
you
know,
rental
rates
and
construction
prices
don't
match
so
similar
to
my
bredrin,
who
came
before
me.
I
want
to
thank
the
city
for
the
recommendation
of
the
funding.
H
A
I
have
a
question:
what's
the
role
better
futures
is
going
to
be
playing
and
they
is
that
they
going
to
be
using
this
for
housing
for
some
of
their
clients
or
yes,.
H
We
haven't
selected
final,
our
final
partner
when
we
responded
to
the
missing
middle
RFP.
We
actually
responded
with
a
few
different
sites,
and
so
we
submitted
mo
used
as
evidence
of
the
partnerships
that
we
will
potentially
bring
to
bear
and
now
we're
going
now
that
we
know
the
site
that
we'll
have.
We
will
be
going
through
some
analysis
to
look
at
which
programmatic
partners
are
best
for
the
site.
But
your
assumption
is
exactly
correct.
H
We
want
to
be
a
conduit
for
placement
for
folks
who
are
coming
through
and
receiving
services
with
better
futures
or
organizations
like
avenues.
The
site
plan
does
contemplate
a
small
space
for
program
partners
to
meet
folks
where
they
are
versus
having
to
require
folks
who
struggle
with
transportation
and
logistics
to
venture
out
of
the
community.
The
intention
is
to
provide
space
so
that
the
program
partners
can
come
and
meet
residents,
not
just
of
the
lindo
Terrace
project,
but
of
the
greater
community
in
the.
A
Community
fantastic
well,
thank
you
very
much
for
being
here.
Thank
you.
Don't
see
any
other
questions.
Is
there
anybody
else
who
would
like
to
comment
on
this
item,
seeing
none
that
out
close
to
public
hearing
move
approval,
councilmember
Goodman,
Thank.
I
You
mr.
chair
I,
just
really
think
this
is
a
great
result.
I
really
love
the
design
of
the
lyndale
Terrace
project
and
I
love
the
location
of
it.
I
just
think
it's
really
positive
thing:
I
love
the
retail
portion
and
the
partnership
with
Mack
V
on
the
project
in
the
12th
word
I.
Think
it's
really
impressive
and
it's
the
kind
of
thing
that
the
city
really
wants
to
see.
I've
been
most
involved
with
the
habitat
proposal,
primarily
because
it's
about
six
blocks
from
where
I
live.
I
Currently
in
the
Bryn
Mawr
neighborhood,
one
thing
I
will
say
about
the
gentrification
that's
happening
in
Harrison
is:
if
we
don't
do
something
big,
like
18
units
of
really
truly
affordable
homeownership,
the
area
will
be
taken
over
by
market
forces
in
a
fairly
short
time.
Art
spaces
project
is
affordable,
but
there
is
a
market
or
a
project
going
on
basically
across
the
street
that
will
displace
people
who
lived
in
single-family
homes.
I
To
get
to
this
point,
councilmember
Ellison
I
know
is
really
I
would
use
the
word
pumped
about
this
project
because
he's
been
in
meetings
with
us
and
habitat.
So
congratulations
to
everyone
who's
doing
this
great
work.
It's
really
really
helping
us
move
in
a
direction
that
fits
the
city's
overall
housing
goals.
A
J
J
J
It
happen,
just
kind
of
on
all
different
levels,
to
one
just
have
these
projects
that
really
fit
so
many
of
the
city
goals,
as
well
as
to
have
other
fun
that
you
know,
may
not
have
gotten
funding
this
year,
but
know
about
the
program
and
are
now
thinking
about
how
they
can
take
part
next
year.
So
yeah
I'm
just
very
excited
about
where
this
is
going.
J
A
Okay,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
any
opposed.
No,
that
motion
carries.
That
concludes
our
business
today.
So
thanks
everybody
for
being
here.
