MEETING
DATE: March 30, 2017
SUBJECT: Master Planning the Mixed Business Campus (MBC)
On Thursday, March 30 at 4:30 p.m., Rockport, LLC, the owner and developer of the area known as the
MBC, will attend and present in an informal setting on the master planning of the area. Kimley-Hom is
the land use consultant for the owner/developer and the following information is considered a City
prepared background to the information that will be shared by them. The presentation will be recorded
and available to refer to as both near term development, the role that tax increment resources may have in
the reclamation of the area and the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update is considered.
The MBC is located south of CSAH 42 to 157th Street and has a west boundary of Flagstaff Avenue
and east boundary of Pilot Knob Road.
The east side of Apple Valley, linked north to south by the Dakota County North Creek Greenway, is
becoming as connected as the Cedar Avenue Red Line Bus Rapid Transit corridor serves the
Downtown and west side of Apple Valley. From the Minnesota Zoo to the MBC is "a multi -billion
dollar string of pearls on an economic greenway" that includes the Eastview High School, Johnny
Cake Ridge Park - the central park for Freedom Days - new and expanding businesses in Abdallah
and Uponor, multiple neighborhoods for living, and the MBC potential as the last remaining location
for large scale commercial and industrial development in Apple Valley.
In the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the MBC is intended to be approximately 3 million square feet of
high quality settings for office, office with light industry, medical manufacturing, health care facilities
and supporting retail, commercial services, lodging and multi -unit housing. There are multiple
priorities toward its development:
- Business investment that advances science, technology, engineering and mathematics
- Intensive development, a gross floor area ratio of building density on a given parcel of land that
approaches .5 to .6 is encouraged.
- Highly energy efficient building systems through techniques, materials, building placements
and geothermal resources that makes this a sustainable, resilient location for all seasons.
- Job additions, now estimated by the Metropolitan Council to 2040, that forecasts 2,100 jobs to
be added in the City, a majority in the MBC.
- The range of total commercial, industrial or institutional gross floor area is forecasted in the
2016 Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) update as 3,321,000 square feet (with a
threshold of 1,948,912 square feet for financial planning).
- Multi -unit housing that offers buffers to nearby single family neighborhoods.
- A destination for working, recreating, and living that offers user experiences consistent with the
broader themes of a community for a lifetime.

Community Development Department
TO: Chairperson and Planning Commission Members
FROM: Thomas Lovelace, City Planner
DATE: March 23, 2017
SUBJECT: 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update
CASE NO.: PC 17-06-P
Attached for your review is information pertaining to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update. State
law requires that comprehensive plans be updated at least every 10 years, and align with the
Metropolitan Council's regional system plans related to highways, transit, airports, wastewater
services, parks and open space. Apple Valley's last major comprehensive plan update was completed
in 2009. The City is required to complete this comprehensive plan update, submit it to the
Metropolitan Council for review and approval, and adopt it by the end of 2018.
The City has retained several consultants to assist with the preparation of the comprehensive plan
update. They will review the current plan and make the necessary revisions to bring the plan in
conformance with forecasts for the city. SRF Consulting Group, Inc. will be the lead consultant and
will be responsible for the review and update of the vision, community context, land use, housing,
transportation and economic chapters of the plan. Barr Engineering Co. will be updating the surface
water management section and AE2S will be preparing the update to the water supply and sanitary
sewer sections of the utilities chapter. Finally, the Confluence consulting group will update the
plan's parks and active living chapter.
An additional component of the plan will be the establishment of policies on community livability
and vibrancy. This will address familiar City concepts such as vitalocity, and regional, national and
global connections; and Metropolitan Council's priorities of resilience, equity and healthy living.
The Community Development Department will be responsible for the facilitation, coordination, and
completion of the plan update. As was the case with previous comprehensive plan updates, the
Planning Commission will be lead advisory panel for this process.
Therefore, on March 30, staff and representatives from SRF will present the Commission with a work
plan and a timeline for the completion of the comprehensive plan update. Staff is also preparing a
notebook for distribution at the meeting that will be a resource to the Planning Commission
throughout the process.
Attachment A, Scope of Work
Project Approach & Community Outreach
Our project approach is described in tasks that are grouped within the four major work phases summarized above. As the project
progresses, these major task areas will sometimes overlap for example, work on Task 1 will overlap with data collection in Task 2.
Task 2—Project iDt[oduCtiOn/'`aDager0eDt
In this very important phase of the project, SRF will work with City staff and the Planning Commission to kick off the project, initiate
thepub|icen@agementpmcess,and^bnand^thepnojectforeesyrecognitionbythepub|icendstakeho|ders.Thistaska|soincudes
ongoing project management.
Taskl.l—PnojectKick+offyNeetinQvvithOtyStaff
SRF will meet with City Staff to discuss a public engagement plan and to discuss and document staff expectations regarding channels
of communication, project management, and staff/consultant roles and responsibilities, project approach, data provided by the City,
other sources of data, scheduling of upcoming staff and Planning Commission meetings and possible timing of public engagement
events.
Task 1.2 — Project Management
Our approach to project management is to establish a high level of communication with the City's designated project manager. We
will provide bi-weekly updates on project status. We will also participate in monthly staff meetings from February 2017 through
December 2018. We anticipate that additional coordination through e-mails, phone calls, Go -To -Meeting, and in-person meetings
will be important to maintain ongoing communication.
Project management also includes monitoring of the project budget and schedule, review of project invoices, management of
project files, and coordination of the team.
Task 1.3 — Planning Commission Meeting #1
This first meeting with the Planning Commission will be held to review the project scope with the Commission and get their feedback
on the draft materials for the project website, project graphics (i.e. the brand or image that will help the public and stakeholders
recognize project materials and notifications), and review the draft content of an on-line community survey. We will also ask the
Commission to begin thinking about and making note of key corridors, gateways, and redevelopment areas (relevant to later work).
A meeting summary will be provided to document major decisions and action items.
Public EngagementTask 1.5 — Website and SociaI Media
SRF will create a project website, which can be linked to the City's website. We create attractive, easy-to-use websites that share
alt project information with the public and stakeholders and provide links to interactive input opportunities such as surveys and
mapping exercises, which will be further described. For some projects, SRF creates a Facebook page and Twitter account. In the
case of Apple Valley, we suggest using the City's Facebook page, which already has nearly 1,500 followers, to disseminate project
information, rather than initiating a new Facebook page. Similarly, the City's Twitter page has over 1,300 followers. This allows us
to hit the ground running with the people who already follow the City. Facebook posts can be further spread through Facebook
shares by City Staff, Planning Commission members and citizens. The same approach is suggested with respect to Twitter.
Nextdoor is becoming a more activelyneighborhood i | network option,andcnn be used by the City to post a link

Public Engagement: Task 1.6 Visioning Workshop in the form of a Pop -Up Meeting at the Apple Valley Home and Garden
Show
SRF will prepare for and have staff present at the Apple Valley Home and Garden Show. Displays regarding the Comprehensive
plan Update will be provided. Laptops and/or tablets will be available at the event. Survey -type questions about various topic
areas will be available for participants to quickly provide their input about areas in which they are most interested.
Asummary ofall comments provided at the event willb h website, d provided to the Planning
Task 1.8 — Update Existng Goals and Objectives
Based on input gathered from early public engagement, combined w the data reviewed and analyzed in Task 2, SRF will update
existing goals and objectives. These will not be finalized during this phase, as we expect them to evolve and change throughout the
planning process.
Task 2 Where are we now?
Community Context
This task involves the review of existing and past planning documents, and review and analysis of Apple Valley data as provided on
the Metropolitan Council's Planit database. This material will be reviewed with City staff and, in some cases, supplemented with
additional or more recent data of a pertinent nature. The outcome of this phase of plan development is to document the current
characteristics of the City and show how it has changed, both physically and demographically. Data and mapping information
available through the use of the Planit website will be prepared to help illustrate the characteristics and contextof the community
and change over time. This task will result in an updated Community Context chapter.
Task 2.1 — Physical Data
Physical data about Apple Valley mapped, such as existing boundaries, land use, natural features, natural and man made barriers,
historic districts, and public facilities. Features such as transportation, parks, trails and utilities will be addressed by separate plan
sections, but will also be incorporated into or referenced in this section of the plan. All of this data will become the basis for future
land use alternatives in Task 3. A key component of this data will be the identification of undevelopable and undeveloped land inside
the existing city boundaries. This data will be critical in the development of future land use scenarios. Information will be mapped
and described in a community profile, which can be formatted as either a chapter or appendix of the plan.
Task 2.2 — City Services
Data about city water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer and other drainage features will be documented in the Water Resources
component of the Comprehensive Plan. SRF will reference and use the products of this plan component to inform the development
of the future land use plan. Public facilities such as government buildings, schools, libraries, community centers, and event centers
will be documented and mapped. City services such as trash collection, on-line services, police and fire protection will be
documented. This information will be gathered with the assistance of Community Development Department staff who will provide
information to SRF.
Task 2.3 — Demographic Data: Historical Trends, Existing Conditions, and Future Projections
Historical and existing demographic data provided in the Metropolitan Council's Planit database will be reviewed, analyzed and used
to prepare graphs and tables that demonstrate various types of information about the community's population, households, income
levels, and jobs. This information will also become part of the community profile.
Task 2.4 — Land Consumption
Based on existing density calculations and future growth projections, SRF will estimate approximate land consumption in 10 year
increments (2020, 2030 and 2040). At this stage of the planning process, it will be undetermined as to how much of that growth is
represented by infill, redevelopment, or fringe area development. The amount of land expected to be needed to accommodate
future growth will be described and mapped as a way of comparing it with the remaining undeveloped land. These estimates will be
refined and adjusted based on further analyses in Task 3.
Task 2.5 — Planning Commission Meeting #2
After the above information has been reviewed by City Staff and appropriately edited, the materials developed in Tasks 1 and 2 will
be presented to the Planning Comrnission for review, feedback, and direction. Materials will be provided at least one week in
advance of the meeting. The main focus of the meeting will be to review early public input, draft goals and objectives, community
profile, and land consumption analysis. We will also discuss the next step-1}identificationofkeyareas'getewaysand
redevelopment areas and 2) the approach to the land use plan alternatives relative to infill and redevelopment.
A meeting summary will be provided to document major decisions and action items.
'ask 3—How will vve grow and change?
This is perhaps the most intense phase of the planning process, where the data that has been collectedcombined with stakeholder
and public input, is ultimately reflected in each element ofthe plan.
Task 3.l—Review Land Use Categories for Density and Use Assumptions
SRF will coordinate with Apple Valley planners to review the various land use categories used in the 2030 land use plan. Ranges of
density assumptions will be reviewed, as well as opportunities offered by various land use categories to apply mixed use zoning
tools. It is important that we collectively understndthere|ationshipbetweenthe|anduseoategonesandthecit/szoningdistricts
prior to updating the land use plan. A summary of land use categories and the manner in which they are intended to be interpreted
will be prepared for review and comment by city planners.
Task 3.2 — Identify Characteristics of Alternative Land Use Scenarios
SRF will prepare descriptions for three alternative land use scenarios. Each scenario will include a targeted goal or threshold for infill
and redevelopment, average dwelling units per acre and floor area ratio (FAR) for infill, redevelopment and fringe area
development. The targeted goal will gradually increase in one or all aspects of development for the purpose of quantifying the
difference in land consumption with more infill, more redevelopment and/or a more intense pattern of fringe area growth. Guidance
gleaned from Task 3.1 will be incorporated into the draft land use plans.
The alternative land use scenarios will help determine the extent and pace of land consumption and will help guide decisions leading
to a prefrred 2040 land use plan.
Task 3.3 — Identify Desirable Design Features for Key Corridors, Gateways, Redevelopment and Infihl Growth Areas
This task is aimed at addressing features that heighten the City's identity, livability and vibrancy. SRF's landscape architects and
urban designers will compile a visual range of options for up to four key areas. These options will consist of materials, site features
and key design components. Each key corridor or area will vary given their characteristics and context.
Task 3.4 — Planning Commission Workshop #3
At this point in the process, it will be very important to convene the Planning Commission to review and discuss the products of
Tasks 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3. The Commission's input will help guide the land use categories and assumptions used in preparing the future
land use plan alternatives, as well as the Community Character and Design component of the plan.
As part of the workshop, the Planning Commission will also be asked to verify and prioritize sites where infill or redevelopment is
desirable. The workshop will utilize maps showing parcel based property value data that compares building value to total land value
(as a percentage), provided this data can be acquired from the City's GIS data. In most cases, a lower ratio of building value as
compared to total site value indicates either an underutilized site, or a deteriorating, dated building. This applies to both residential
and non-residential property. This data often confirms what people already know or suspect, but still serves as a valuable analytical
reference.
A meeting summary will be provided to document major decisions and action items.
Task 3.5 — Prepare Alternative Land Use Plans
Based on guidance from the stafand Planning Commission, SRF will prepare three land use alternatives that reflect the agreed upon
scenarios. Sketch maps will initially be prepared for review by the Planning Department. After review and discussion, to verify that
future land uses are not shown on undevelopable lands, and that the massing and sizes of different land uses are logical and
appropriately scaled, the three alternatives will be adjusted and prepared as digital maps in GIS. These maps will be reviewed with
the Planning Commission at the next meeting. Ultimately, a blending of various aspects of these three alternatives is likely to serve
as the final land use map. This process will include review of the proposed land use plan being prepared by consultants working for
the owners of the sand and gravel mine. The results of their planning proceswill be included in the future land use plan in a manner
agreeable to the City of Apple Valley.
Task 3.6 — Coordination with City Departments
During the development of the land use plan, it will be important to coordinate with other city departments — particularly those
departments that have been working with consultants to prepare other comprehensive plan components. This includes the Park and
Recreation Department and the Public Works Department. The purpose of this coordination is to ensure integration of these plan
components into the land use plan and other aspects of the comprehensive plan.
Public Task 3.7 — Focus Group Meetings with Key Stakeholder
As part of the development of the key components of the drafComprehensive Plan, SRF can meet with key members of four to
six relevant agencies or organizations. The purpose of these meetings will be to review the draft land use plan alternatives as
they pertain to that group's particular focus. These groups can include the ChambHousing
Authority, Senior Center leadership, and other local or regional entities.
Task 3.8 — Prepare Draft PIan Elements
While the future land use map is an important technical element of the plan, there are other key plan elements for which vision and
Future Land Use
The future land use component will consist of the future land use map and all of the supporting documentation that describes the
intent of different land use designations. This plan component can also describe the range of existing zoning districts that would be
appropriate in each land use category, and identify where a new or revised zoning district is needed in order to implement intent of
the land use plan.
Transportation
The transportation element is being prepared separately and will be refrenced for all other plan elements and integrated into the
overall comprehensive plan.
Water Resources
This plan element is being prepared separately and will be refrenced for the land use plan and all other relevant plan elements, and
will also be integrated into the overall comprehensive plan.
Parks, Trails and Open Spaces
This plan element isbeing prepared separately and will bereferenced foraUotherp|ane|ementsandintegratedintotheoveraU
plan
Housing
SRF will review the findings and recommendations of the Comprehensive Housing Needs Asessment for Dakota County. The
administrators of the housing assistance and improvement programs for the City of Apple Valley will be a source of information as to
the effectiveness of this program aimed at helping homeowners keep their homes in good condition. The current community profile
will also help provide information about housing trends. Based on that information, combined with Planning Commission input,
public and agency input, and information from the City about the extent to which the recommendations of the Housing Needs
Assessment have been implemented over the past three years, SRF will prepare a Housing element.
A critical element of this analysis is to make sure that the future land use plan contains land use categories that support the types of
housing needed in the community. Policies that support the development of needed and desired housing styles, levels of
affordability, and suitability for different age ranges are also important to ensuring the city has the tools in place to meet the
threshold of affordable housing identified by the Metropolitan Council.
Resilience
Apple Valley's ability to be resilient in the face of climate change extreme weaher or environmental considerations will be
considered throughout all plan elements. Specific goals, objectives and policies that relate to climate mitigation strategies will be
prepared for consideration by staff and the Planning Commission. City facilities and services, such different types of storm water
management, storm shelter facilities, walkability, bicycle facilities, emergency back-up systems for city services, back-up
communication systems for emergency services are all important features of dealing with climate related emergencies. Other city
regulations, policies and practices that affect climate such as landscaping requirements, development patterns, and open space
policies also relate to this plan element.
Economic Competitiveness
We will coordinate with the Planning Department and the Apple Valley Economic Development Authority to determine how the
comprehensive plan can best support Apple Valley's economic competitiveness. One approach is to ensure an up to date database
of available property for development or redevelopment. Another approach is to work with the EDA to understandtheneedsof
businesses and prospective employers who would like to locate and/or build facilities in Apple Valley. It is necessary to understand
how the land use plan, zoning districts, and subdivision regulations are either creating opportunities or eliminating opportunities for
businesses to locate within the city. This plan element will address steps the City can take to improve or maintain its economic
competitiveness In addition to identifying land for future commercial and industrial infill, redevelopment and fringe area
development, it is important that all other plan elements are prepared with the needs of economic development in mind. For
example, an aesthetically pleasing community with a vibrant downtown and a thorough park and trail system helps attract and
retain young families to the community, which helps provide workers and patrons for new businesses. Utilities and roadways must
be adequate to support commercial/industrial development. This element of the plan will identify economic development
opportunities and features of the community that are critical to continued business growth.
Mixed Business Campus Master Plan Option: Task 3.9
Under this optionSRF's landscape architects and planners, in consultation with our civil engineers / site development specialists,
will collaborate with Community Development staff and applicable stakeholders to prepare a mixed business campus master
plan for the 400 -acre sand and gravel mining property. The master plan would consist of a planning level concept that identifies
future land uses, collector and arterial roadways, storm water retention features, parks and trails, and a possible phasing
approach. Existing conditions, relationship to existing or planned utilities, surrounding land uses and other features of the area
will be used to prepare up to two sketch plans. Sketch plan alternatives will be reviewed by Community Development staff and
stakeholders. Based on comments, SRF will refine the master plan and prepare graphics using Adobe Creative Suite software.
Based on average density anfloor area ratio assumptions, estimated lling uncommercial square footage
will be calculated.
After Planning Commission review (see Task 3.11), the Master Plan will be revised based on their comments. The master plan
and supporting text will beincluded mthe comp p|��`o�!'!�'���`��`
Suburban Intensive Transit Oriented Development Near Station Areas Option: Task 3.10
SRF will apply its experience from the development of land use plans for other transit station areas and will apply this knowledge
to the station areas in Apple Valley. For each desired station area (to be prioritized and selected by the City), SRF will prepare a
very conceptual level sketch of station area development with a "suburban intensive" development pattern. Brief written
documentation will be prepared to identify the opportunities and challenges of each study area and the extent to which the
city's current zoning and subdivision tools support or do not support the development concept. After Planning Commission
review (see Task 3.11), the concept and write-up will be revised based on comments received.
Task 3.11 — Planning Commission Workshop #4
After completion of the draft alternative land use plans and compiling major components of the draft plan elements, it will be
important to convene the Planning Commission. Commission members will be asked to work in groups to review plan components
and provide feedback to the larger group on their reactions, thoughts, and comments.
A meeting summary will be provided to document major decisions and action items.
Task 3.12— Refine Draft Land Use Plan Alternatives
Based on feedback from the Planning Commission, the drafland use plan alternatives will be revised and refined.
Task 3.13 — Refine Draft Plan Elements
Based on feedback from the Planning Commission, the updated draft plan elements will also be revised and refined.
Task 3.14 — Prepare Draft lmplementation Plan Update
A draft implementation plan will be prepared, identifying actions that are needed for plan implementation, timing (short, medium,
or long range), and primary/secondary entities responsible for implementation.
Public Engagement: Task 3.15_Public Input the form of a Pop -Up ng at the 2018 Apple Valley
and Garden Show
This public input opportunity will ask the public to review and comment on draft plan components presented as exhibits about
different elements of the plan. SRF and Apple Valley Community Development staff, and members of the Planning Commission,
if they choose, would be present to respond to questions and comments. Laptops and/or tablets will be used to seek input from
participants.
SRF will compile comments from the event and make suggested changes to the planning products in response to public
comments.
Task 3.lG—Planning Commission Meeting #5
At this point, it will be important for the Planning Commission to reconvene to review the comments from the charrettes and any
suggested adjustments or modifications as a result of public input. We will also seek input from the Committee regarding up to four
areas where small area master plans will be prepared for the purpose of illustrating and demonstrating how important plan
components can be worked into a design for a new growth area, redevelopment area, or corridor.
A meeting summary will be provided to document major decisions and action items,
Task 4 Refine Plan and Prepare Strategies
Once the Planning Commission is satisfied that the public comments have been satisfactorily addressed and updated elements of
the plan have been adequately covered, we will prepare the drafplan.
Task 4.1—Refine Land Use Plan Map and Overall PIan Element
Final refinements will be made to the updated land use plan.
Task 4.2 — Prepare Draft PIan Document
The draft update of the Comprehensive Plan document will be prepared as the initial product for review by the Planning
Commission.
Task 4.3 — Planning Commission Review of Draft PIan and Optional Master PIan/TOD Station Area Elements
The final meeting of the Planning Commission will be convened to review and seek comment on the updated draftplan elements.
Opportunity to provide comments in advance of the meeting will allow our team to compile and digest comments in preparation for
the meeting.
A meeting summary will be provided to document major decisions and action items.
Task 4.4 — Refine Draft Plan, Prepare for Web-baseReview on Website
After Planning Commission review and comment on the updated draft plan, SRF will address comments and prepare the document
for online review by the public.
Task 4.5 — Public Engagement (Facebook, Website Input on Plan Components)
The draft Comprehensive Plan \n/11 be made available on the website for public review and comment. Notifications about the
availability of the draft plan will be made via social media.
Task 4.6 — Planning Commission Public Hearing
SRF will prepare and make a presentation to the Planning Commission regarding the Comprehensive PIan and the planning process.
Task 4.7 — City Council Public Hearing
SRF will prepare and make a presentation to the City Council regarding the Comprehensive Plan, the planning process, and the
recommendation of the Planning Commission.
5.0 Metropofltan Council and Neighboring Jurisdiction Review
