The
business

is
324
sixth
avenue
north
located
in
ward

The
applicant
is
requesting
an
upgrade
to
on

liquor,
general
live
entertainment
and
sunday,
sales
from
an

Notices
were
also
sent
to
the
north
loop
neighborhood
association,
the
warehouse
district
business
association
and
council
member
fletcher.
We
have
received
two
comments
opposed
to
the
business.
The
comments
were
regarding
the
hours
of
operation
which
have
already
been
approved,
and
I
did
address
their
concerns
directly
explaining
the
current
hours
they
operate
in
the
license
for
public
hearing.
G
B
H
H
As
max
noted,
no
issues
were
a
poor,
your
own
tap
room
as
well
as
a
kitchen
with
a
restaurant
on
site.
This
change
for
us
is
very
minimal
right
now
we
do
strong
beer
wine
insider.
We
will
be
upgrading
to
liquor
to
do
some
batch
cocktails
on
tap
one
item.
That
is
very
important
to
note.
As
I
know,
we
had
a
couple
people
that
had
some
concerns
about
this
upgrade
our
hours.
Although
we
are
approved
to
be
open
very
late
at
night,
our
hours
will
not
be
changing.
H
B

You
thank
you,
council
committee
members,
I'm
a
resident
at
three
four,
five,
six,
seven
or
north
bookman
stacks
right
next
to
the
establishment.
I
agree
with
all
of
their
hours
and
stuff
like
that
and
and
really
want
them
to
succeed.
I
frequent
the
place
I
just
there.
There
has
been
issues
in
the
past
with
the
noise
level
after
certain
hours.

I
Satori
boutique
apartments
is
a
six-story
112
unit,
new
construction,
mixed
income
project
proposed
for
the
southwest
corner
of
west
broadway
and
bryant
avenues
north
in
the
near
north
neighborhood
of
ward
5..
The
project
will
feature
112,
1
and
2
bedroom
units,
23
of
which
will
be
affordable
to
households
at
or
below
50
percent.

The
developer,
jadt
development
llc
has
requested
up
to
three
million
eight
hundred
and
seventy
six
thousand
four
hundred
dollars
in
pay-as-you-go
tiff
assistance
from
the
city
to
pay
for
eligible
construction
costs.
The
satori
apartments
tax
increment
financing
plan
establishes
a
new
housing
tip
district
with
a
term
of
26
years.
I
I
In
addition
to
this
tax
increment
financing,
the
project
has
also
received
a
hennepin
county,
tod
grant
and
a
state
deed
grant.
This
request
for
tax
increment
financing
represents
the
final
piece
of
the
capital
stack
needed
to
bring
the
project
to
closing,
and
the
project
has
also
received
all
of
its
land
use
approvals.
I
The
increased
property
value
resulting
from
the
construction
of
this
project
will
not
be
included
in
the
city's
general
tax
base.
The
increase
in
property
value
will
be
applied
to
the
city's
general
tax
base
once
the
tip
district
is
decertified
which
is
anticipated
to
occur
in
about
26
years,
the
city
would
retain
10
percent
of
the
tax
increment
generated
each
year
for
payment
of
tiff
administrative
costs.
I
would
be
happy
to
stand
for
questions
if
there
are
any
are.
B
B
K
Well,
I'm
sorry,
I
was
on
mute
and
I
did
not
know
how
to
unmute,
but
I
will
let
you
I
will
support
the
staff
recommendation.
I
appreciate
all
of
the
the
expertise
from
cpad
staff,
including
tiffany,
glasper,
matthew,
hendricks,
angie,
skildum
and,
most
importantly,
andrea,
brennan
and
and
all
of
the
city,
council,
people
and
people
in
the
community
that
have
supported
this
effort.
I
am
here
for
questions
if
you
have
any
otherwise,
I
will
stand
in
advance.
B
Thank
you,
mr
baylor.
The
council,
member
ellison,
has
moved
approval,
and
I
am
just
simply
noting
that
this
has
been
a
long
time
coming
and
that
this
has
been
a
project.
Your
team
and
our
staff
have
been
working
on
for
the
better
part
of
five
years,
perhaps
longer,
and
also
want
to
thank
our
staff
for
the
good
work
here
on
council
member
ellison's
motion
to
approve
I'll.
Please
ask
the
staff
to
call
the
role.
D
D
F
B
That
item
is
approved,
and
I
will
note
then
another
successful
project
underway
on
west
broadway.
We'll
now
move
to
item
number
three,
which
is
a
public
hearing
on
the
consolidated
the
2021
hud
consolidated
action
plan.
This
will
be
receiving
public
comments,
as
well
as
directing
staff
to
submit
the
plan
to
the
u.s
department
of
housing
and
urban
development
on
may
17th,
including
any
public
comments
that
have
been
received
through
this
process
or
others.
I
will
currently
call
on
mr
bauer
for
his
report.
L
The
2021
action
plan
outlines
the
city's
housing
community
development
strategies
for
the
beneficiaries
of
these
funds,
who
are
low
and
moderate
income
residents
of
the
city.
The
action
plan
describes
the
city
priorities
and
projects
for
use
of
these
funds.
These
priorities
and
projects
were
approved
by
the
city
council
through
the
2021
budgeting
process.
L
A
requirement
of
the
action
plan
is
to
have
a
30-day
public
comment
period
and
public
hearing
prior
to
submitting
the
plan
to
hud.
All
comments
received
during
the
hearing
or
written
comments
received
during
the
comment
period
will
be
included
in
the
plan
to
date.
We
have
received
a
few
inquiries
on
the
plan,
but
no
submitted
comments.
B
Thank
you
for
your
report,
mr
bauer.
I'll
see
if
there
are
any
questions
for
mr
bauer
on
his
report,
seeing
none
I'm
going
to
proceed
to
open
the
public
hearing
and
ask
the
clerk.
If
there
are
any
speakers
in
queue
on
this
item,
does
not
look
like
there
are
any
speakers
in
queue
on
this
item.
I
will
see
if
there's
anyone
else
online
to
speak
to
this
issue,
seeing
none
I'm
going
to
close
the
public
hearing
and
call
on
council
member
gordon.

There
are
other
city
staff
members
on
the
call
today
who
will
be
here
for
the
question
and
the
answer
portion
of
this
discussion
next

Please,

the
proposed
hiawatha

located
at

The
city
determined
that
minnesota
rules-
chapter
4410
did
not
require
an
eew
to
be
performed
for
this
project.
However,
in
an
effort
to
continue
to
engage
the
east
phillips
community
and
continue
to
address
their
concerns,
the
city
elected
to
prepare
a
discretionary
eaw
next
slide.
Please
I
apologize
that
this
may
be
small
on
the
screen.
This
is
a
timeline
or
the
timeline
that
walks
us
through
the
comment
period
for
the
eaw.
So
this
was
the
eaw
was
published
on
february
9th
of
2021.
M
M
That
two-week
extension
was
noticed
in
the
eqb
monitor
again
in
march
on
march
16th,
and
then
on
march
25th.
The
public
public
comment
period
closed
on
april
5th.
The
rgu
did
postpone
the
decision
on
the
need
for
an
eis
for
this
project
due
to
an
unprecedented
amount
of
public
comment
that
was
received
next
slide.
Please.
M
We
also
received
comment
letters
from
six
non-profit
or
neighborhood
organizations,
east
phillips,
neighborhood
initiative,
the
minnesota
center
for
environmental
advocacy,
move
minnesota,
the
corker
neighborhood
organization,
university
of
minnesota,
environmental
and
energy
law
society
and
the
south

council.
We
also
received
1053

during
the
public

Any
potential
environmental
effects
are
mitigated
by
the
city's
development
review
process.
The
city
has
discretionary
authority
through
its
development
review
process
and
the
city
and
state
have
authority,
through
the
permit
approvals
required
for
this
project
to
address
mitigate
or
avoid
the
environmental
effects
identified
in
the
eaw
and
the
comment.
Letters.
M
The
city's
development
review
process
is
comprehensively
administered
by
city
staff
and
implemented
by
experienced
commissions
and
the
city
council
next
slide.
Please
criterion
4
extent
to
which
environmental
effects
can
be
anticipated
and
controlled
as
a
result
of
other
environmental
studies
undertaken
by
public
agencies
or
the
project
proposer,
including
other
eis's.
M

The
recommendation
today
before
you
is
to
approve
the
adequacy
of
the
environmental
assessment
worksheet
for
the
proposed
hiawatha
maintenance
facility
expansion
located
at
1911,
east
26th
street
1860,
east
28th
street
and
2717
longfellow
avenue
approved
the
determination
that
environmental
impact
statement
is
not
required
and
adopt.
The
findings
of
fact
is
prepared
by
the
department
of
community
community
planning
and
economic
development.
D
That
is
correct.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
that.
I
appreciate
the
report
and
the
worksheet
this
issue
actually
has
come
up
in
the
last
couple
weeks
at
the
council.
As
you
will
recall,
colleagues,
we
passed
a
staff
direction,
I'm
asking
for
some
work
to
be
done
and
a
report
back
to
come
on
august
5th.
D
I
have
had
an
opportunity
to
discuss
this
with
the
council
member
from
the
ward
with
some
community
members
also
with
the
city
attorney
and
staff
and
had
communication,
and
I
would
like
to
move
that.
We
postpone
this
so
that
we
can
line
it
up
with
the
work
that
we're
already
doing
around
this
project,
not
to
come
back
for
consideration
again
on
august
5th,.
B
F
E
F
J
Discuss
here,
madam
chair,
this
is
ken
taylor
from
the
clerk's
office,
I'm
just
looking
at
the
calendar
and
the
next.
The
first
biz
committee
in
august
is
august
10th,
and
I
believe
this
is
scheduled
to
come
back
to
committee
of
the
whole
on
august
5th.
So
I
just
maybe
for
for
clarity
of
the
record.
Do
you
want
it
to
happen
before
the
committee
the
whole
or
after.
B
B
E
Thank
you,
chair
goodman.
This
is
a
zoning
code
text,
amendment
addressing
off-street
parking
loading
and
travel
demand
management
regulations.
The
amendment
is
being
brought
forward
by
council
members,
gordon
and
fletcher.
I've
been
working
with
joe
bernard
on
the
amendment
who
has
really
been
leading
this
work
and
I'll
turn
this
over
to
him.
After
several
slides,
I
think,
to
sufficiently
cover
the
amendment
we
have
about
10,
maybe
15
minutes
of
presentation
for
you
today
next
slide.
E
Please
we
see
this
as
a
critical
step
in
the
implementation
of
minneapolis
2040
grounded
in
the
goals
that
include
eliminating
disparities,
access
to
affordable
housing
and
furthering
climate
change,
resilience
and
minneapolis
2040
does
have
pretty
clear
language
calling
for
the
elimination
of
minimum
off-street
parking
requirements,
which
is
a
key
part
of
this
amendment
next
slide.
Please
further
updating
our
standards
related
to
travel,
demand
management
and
is
an
important
part
of
this
effort.
Updating
tdm
standards
is
explicitly
called
for
in
both
minneapolis
2040
and
the
recently
adopted
travel
demand
management,
transportation
action
plan.
E
Next
slide,
please,
this
slide
just
is
a
little
bit
of
context
about
the
history
of
sort
of
what
has
led
us.
Partly
to
today
we
have
been
reforming
our
off
street
parking
regulations
in
one
form
or
another
for
the
past
20
plus
years,
that
has
included
targeted
reductions
or
eliminate
elimination
of
minimum
off
street
parking
requirements
in
some
parts
of
the
city,
and
it
has
also
addressed
things
like
design
of
parking
garages
or
or
minimizing
impacts
of
of
parking
on
the
surrounding
areas.
E
A
A
A
As
part
of
this
work,
we
also
propose
changing
existing
maximum
parking
requirements.
The
staff
proposal
is
to
move
from
our
current
two-tiered
approach,
which
distinguishes
downtown
from
the
rest
of
the
city
to
a
three-tiered
system
that
adds
a
new
category
of
mostly
areas
along
our
major
transit
corridors.
A
We're
noting
that
the
new
travel
demand
management
process
would
also
be
a
good
place
to
determine
some
flexibility
for
loading
requirements
if
needed
as
appropriate.
Next
slide,
please
for
bicycle
parking.
We
propose
increases
in
requirements
for
most
uses
city-wide.
Some
of
those
increases
are
modest
and
some
are
more
significant.
A
Next
slide,
please,
a
unique
byproduct
of
the
elimination
of
parking
requirements
is
that
some
changes
are
needed
to
our
university
area
overlay.
The
overlay
was
created
over
10
years
ago,
and
one
of
the
main
driving
forces
behind
its
creation
was
to
address
the
unique
parking
challenges
that
come
with
uses
located
near
the
university.
A
Ev
readiness
is
also
required
for
a
portion
of
the
remaining
spaces
that
are
not
required
to
have
chargers
in
those
larger
developments.
There
will
be
a
phase-in
period
for
these
requirements.
They
won't
kick
in
until
january
1st
of
2022
and
then
we'll
have
proposed
a
two-year
period
that
will
allow
for
developments
to
provide
additional
ev
readiness
in
lieu
of
installing
actual
charging
stations
next
slide.
Please.
A
A
A
New
to
this
ordinance
is
a
point
system
that
would
allow
most
development
to
administratively
comply
with
our
tdm
requirements
by
delivering
a
series
of
predetermined
strategies
that
we'll
go
over
briefly
in
one
of
the
next
slides
last.
We're
proposing
to
retain
a
discretionary,
tdm
process
that
we
have
today
for
use
is
known
to
have
particularly
challenging
transportation
impacts
and
for
development
occurring
in
locations
with
known
challenges.
A
The
proposed
point
system
draws
a
distinction
between
projects
based
on
size
and
use
which
we're
referring
to
as
major
versus
minor,
depending
upon
the
size
and
the
use
of
your
project
you'll
be
required
to
achieve
a
minimum
number
of
points
again
by
employing
those
predetermined
strategies
from
the
ordinance
that
will
have
points
values
attached
to
them.
In
addition
to
requiring
more
points
for
larger
projects,
those
major
tdms
will
still
be
required
to
to
perform
a
traffic
study,
whereas
the
smaller
minor
projects
will
not
next
slide.
Please.

The
points
are
structured
in
such
a
way
that,
in
most
cases,
doing
one
of
the
top
two
items
would
satisfy
your
requirement
and
if
those
are
too
heavy
of
a
lift,
you
can
select
from
any
number
of
these
strategies
to
get
to
your
required
points.
Total
ongoing
reporting
is
required
of
development
and
that's
something
that
will
be
administered
jointly
by
public
works
and
cped
next

Please.

Finally,
I
just
want
to
briefly
run
through
the
public
feedback
we
received
throughout
this
process.
Generally
you'll
see
positive
feedback
from
the
official
public
comment
that
is
included
in
the
packets
for
this
item.
We
attended
a
handful
of
city
boards
and
commissions
and
received
supportive
and
constructive
feedback
from
a
number
of
those
groups.
A
We
also
heard
some
concern
from
a
couple
of
business
support
organizations
about
potential
spillover
impact
to
on-street
parking
if,
in
the
long
run
residential
parking
supply
decreases,
we
also
convened
a
small
working
group
of
local
and
regional
transportation
experts
and
advocates
who
offered
some
constructive
feedback.
That
is
reflected
in
the
amendment
that
you're
seeing
today.
A
Finally,
I
want
to
acknowledge
some
really
helpful
feedback
we
received
from
our
colleagues
in
public
works.
They've
made
key
contributions,
in
particular
to
the
tdm
ordinance.
Metro.
Transit
was
really
helpful
in
getting
our
transit
pass
strategy
cleaned
up,
and
then
our
sustainability
staff
and
the
coordinator's
office
was
a
great
partner
in
in
developing
the
ev
charging
infrastructure
requirements
with
that.
That
concludes
our
staff
remarks.
Mr
wittenberg
and
I
are
here
to
support
your
work
and
discussion
as
needed.
B
D
D
You
know
I'm
delighted
to
be
a
co-author
and
to
give
council
member
fletcher
all
sorts
of
credit
in
my
own,
but
this
is
one
of
those
ordinances
where
the
work
was
really
done
by
staff
and
there
was
a
lot
of
work
involved.
Also.
It
was
taken
up
by
the
steering
committee
for
implementation
of
minneapolis
2040.,
so
there's
more
staff
involved
in
that
also
and
council
member
reich
was
very
involved,
as
we
got
reports
back
on
this
and
moved
through
the
process
and
the
planning
commission
was
engaged
in
so
many
people.
D
It's
a
pretty
significant
step
that
we're
taking
here
we
did
hear
in
the
report.
Some
concerns
were
raised
by
our
advisory
committee
on
people
with
disabilities
and
council.
Member
fletcher
mostly
has
worked
on
a
amendment,
and
I
think
the
clerk
should
have
this,
and
so
maybe
we
could
post
it
and
he's
not
on
the
committee,
but
so
I'm
moving
it
and
also
I'm
very
supportive
and
worked
on
it.
D
And
this
the
intention
here
is
this-
will
help
make
sure
that
there
are
some
off
street
or
loading
spaces
that
can
be
serviced
as
drop
off
and
pick
up
space
and
they
can
be
labeled
as
such,
and
this
will
help
make
sure
that
there
is
accessibility
for
those
folks
who
may
need
it
closer
to
the
building,
and
hopefully
that's
a
good
enough
presentation
on
this.
So
first,
I
guess
I'll
move
this
amendment
and
then
I'd
be
happy
to
move
the
entire
package.
B
B
Found
some
important
moves.
The
main
motion,
along
with
amendment
the
amendment
that
we
see
on
the
screen
are
there
discussions
about
the
main
motion
or
about
council
member
gordon's
amendment
anyone
everyone's
been
fully
briefed.
So
I'm
not
sure
that
there's
any
questions.
Anyone
else
like
to
comment.
F

B
B
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
didn't
have
any
discussion,
so
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
the
reason
for
doing
this
has
to
do
with
the
council
action
that
was
brought
forward
and
approved
by
the
council
last
friday.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
clear
and
give
everybody
the
chance
to
vote
on
this
again.
In
case
there
was
any
confusion,
so
I'm
going
to
with
that
explanation.
