Planning Commission Minutes

Page 2 of 4
Planner Kathy Bodmer stated Five Guys restaurant at 14658 Cedar Avenue, Suite G, requests Site
Plan Review and Approval to create a 6' x 29' outdoor dining area for three tables with a total of 18
seats. The 6' tables are placed immediately adjacent to the building, which will maintain a 6' wide
sidewalk for pedestrian circulation around the shopping center. No alcohol is proposed to be served
in the outdoor dining area, which will help to reduce noise impacts to adjacent properties and
tenants. Fencing will not be required for this small outdoor area. One additional parking space
would be required for an 18 -seat outdoor dining area. A parking study confirms that there is
adequate parking available on the site to accommodate the requested outdoor dining area.
She added the applicant would like to reduce the sidewalk width requirement to 5'.
Commissioner Alwin commented he agrees with the change from 6' down to 5'.
Commissioner Scanlan inquired how the perimeter comes into play with the planting materials and
a fence.
Ms. Bodmer answered that when you have a liquor license there are standards and typically that is
when you see the fenced in area because they have to be able to delineate that specific area. It is not
needed at this location.
Commissioner Kurtz inquired if customers will be served outside or do they go get the food
themselves.
Ms. Bodmer answered that customers go to the counter inside and place the order and get their food
from the counter.
Chair Melander commented that it seems like a reasonable use to him and that outdoor dining is
becoming very popular in Minnesota and feel more requests will come forth as time goes along.
Commissioner Alwin commented that a previous restaurant in the area to the north had been
approved for outdoor dining and there had been a restriction on the music and noise because of the
nearby neighborhood.
Ms. Bodmer noted that had been because of the liquor license at that restaurant and the late night
activities. She added Five Guys closes at 10:00.
Commissioner Alwin inquired if there was intent to pipe outdoor music at the Five Guys restaurant.
Ms. Bodmer answered not that staff was aware of and that it could be added as a condition if the
Commission was concerned about that.
MOTION: Commissioner Alwin moved, seconded by Commissioner Burke, recommending
approval of the Site Plan/Building Permit Authorization for an outdoor dining area in

Proposed Action
Open the public hearing, receive comments and close the public hearing. It is the policy of the
Planning Commission not to act on a public hearing item the night of the public hearing. If no
public comments are received requiring additional study, staff is recommending the following:
1. Recommend approval of reduction of minimum lot width within zone 2 of Planned
Development No. 703 from 40 feet to 34 feet for lots located in Blocks 12 and 13 of the
Cobblestone Lake 3rd Addition, the Cobblestone Lake 6111 and 9th Additions.
2. Recommend approval of the Cobblestone Lake 9th Addition preliminary plat.
Project Summary/Issues
The applicant is requesting approval of a preliminary plat that will adjust common lot line of eight
existing lots of record. The proposed adjustments will involve the moving of four common lot lines
approximately five feet, which will create new lots that will vary size from 2,849 sq. ft. to 3,408 sq.
ft. and in width from 37 feet to 44 feet. The current planned development ordinance allows for lots
within zone 2 that have a minimum area of 2,800 sq. ft. and width of 40 feet. The lots will meet or
exceed the minimum lot area requirements, and four of the eight lots meet the minimum lot width
requirement.
Staff is proposing that the planned development ordinance be amended, which would reduce the
minimum lot in zone 2 from 40 feet to 34 feet for lots located in Blocks 12 and 13 of the Cobblestone
Lake 3rd Addition, the Cobblestone Lake 6th and 9th Additions.
Public utilities to serve the existing lots were installed as part of the public improvement project for
the Cobblestone Lake 3rd Addition. The adjustment of the interior lot lines of the existing lots with
the proposed preliminary plat, as well as the type and location of the proposed dwelling units on the
new lots, adjustment will require revisions to the existing lateral services in Duck Trail Lane.
The applicant is proposing to utilize existing services from public utilities located in Duck Trail Lane.
This will require significant bends to the services to Lots 2 and 4, Block 1; and Lots 1 and 4, Block 2.
The City's Civil Engineer has reviewed the utility plan and is recommending that the existing utility
services be removed back to the existing sanitary and water main and new utility services to the
properties be installed that will be perpendicular to the property. The removal and replacement of these
utility services shall be completed by the expense of the developer. The developer shall also be
responsible for the replacement of any sidewalk, curb and gutter, and bituminous pavement removed as
part of the realignment utility lines to serve the proposed lots.
Staff has reviewed the landscape plan and are recommending the following:
1. Redbud can be marginally hardy in open areas, it is recommended to keep it located as
planned in a somewhat protected space near the home on Lot 2, Block 1.
2. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources considers Norway maple and Amur
maple as terrestrial invasive plants due to heavy seed production. Other native options to
consider are red maple, sugar maple, or hackberry for the larger Norway maple; and
ironwood, highbush cranberry, other crabapple varieties for the Amur maple substitutions.

Location Map
Comprehensive Plan: The property is guided "LD" (Low Density Residential/0-6 units per acre).
The previous replat changed the dwelling unit type from two 4 -unit townhome buildings to four (4)
single family and four (4) twin -home dwelling units is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed request would not change the unit type, but will change the location of units on the
lots.
Comprehensive Plan Map
"LD" (Low Density Residential)
Livable Communities impact: The proposal will add a total of four (4) single-family and four (4)
twin -home dwelling units to the City's existing housing stock, which is consistent with the Livable
Communities Act.
Zoning: The lot sizes of the proposed preliminary plat will vary from 2,849 sq. ft. to 3,408 sq. ft.
and the lots vary in width from 37 feet to 44 feet. The current planned development ordinance
allows for lots within zone 2 that have a minimum area of 2,800 sq. ft. and width of 40 feet. The
lots will meet or exceed the minimum lot area requirements, and four of the eight lots meet the
minimum lot width requirement.
During our review of this request, it came to our attention that there are platted lots within Blocks
12 and 13 of the 3rd Addition do not currently meet the minimum lot width requirements. Several
of the lots have minimum lot widths of 34 feet. Dwellings have been constructed on all but two of
the 34 -foot wide lots and they have had no adverse impact on the overall development. Therefore,
staff is recommending that the minimum lot size in zone 2 be reduced to 34 feet for lots located in
Blocks 12 and 13 of the Cobblestone Lake 3rd Addition, the Cobblestone Lake 6th and 9th
Additions.
Zoning Map
"PD -703" (Planned Development)
Preliminary Plat: The subject lots were originally platted in 2003 as part of the Cobblestone Lake
3rd Addition. The 3rd Addition contained platted lots for single, two, and inmulti-family dwellings.
s.
The area the 3rd Addition where these lots are located were part of a townhome development that
would include 49 dwellings that would be constructed in two, three and four -unit buildings.
Thirty-five dwelling units were constructed on those 49 lots.
In 2009, applications were submitted for the replatting of the remaining lots. The applicant
requested and received approval of the Cobblestone Lake 5th and 6th Additions, which adjusted
common property lines for the purpose of constructing single and two-family dwelling units. No
construction occurred and the lots in the 5th Addition were sold to applicant and the lots in the 6th
Addition have been sold to another individual.
The applicant presented his building plans to the City and was informed that the placement of the
proposed dwellings would not meet the current building code and adjustments would need to be
made to the proposed building plans and/or lot configuration.
The applicant has submitted a preliminary plat that has adjusted the common lot lines that changes
the lot areas of six of the eight lots. The lot dimensions of Lot 1, Block 1 and Lot 4, Block 2 would
remain the same. The lot width of Lot 2, Block 1 and Lot 3, Block 2 would decrease by just over
five feet, with Lot 4, Block 1 and Lot 1, Block 2 would increase by approximately five feet. Lot 3,
Block 1 and Lot 2, Block 2 would have a slight lot width increase .2 and .3 feet.
Grading Plan: Minor revisions to the approved Cobblestone Lake 3rd Addition grading plan will
be needed to be made to accommodate the proposed single family and two-family dwelling units.
Availability of Municipal Utilities: Public utilities to serve the existing lots were installed as part
of the public improvement project for the Cobblestone Lake 3rd Addition. Because the replat will
be adjusting the interior lot lines of the existing lots, as well as the type and location of the
dwelling units on the lots, adjustment will need to be made to existing lateral services.
The City's Civil Engineer has reviewed the utility plan. He has indicated that the existing utility
services for Lots 2 and 4, Block; and Lots 1 and 4, Block 2 must be removed back to the existing
sanitary and water main and new utility services to the properties must be installed perpendicular
to the property at the expense of the property owner. No pipe bends will be allowed in utility
services.
The removal and installation of utility services will require cutting into Duck Trail Lane
roadway. All removal of sidewalk, curb and gutter, and bituminous pavement will have to be
replaced to match existing at the expense of the property owner.
Street Classifications/Accesses/Circulation: All public streets to serve the new lots have been
previously installed. No additional street connections will be required.
Garage access to the proposed dwellings will be via an existing private drive located in the rear
of the buildings.
Pedestrian Access: All the sidewalks to serve these lots have been installed with the Cobblestone
Lake 3rd Addition public improvement project.
Building Elevations: Although not required by city code, the petitioner has submitted elevations
for the proposed single and two-family dwelling units. The dwellings will have an exterior finish
consisting of lap, board and batten, and shake siding with columns at the front door that will have a
cultured stone base. The petitioner has indicated that they will use "LP Smartside" lap siding,
which is a wood composite material. They have not identified the type of material for the board
and batten and shake siding finishes. The planned development ordinance states that vinyl, steel,
aluminum, or similar material for the exterior finish is not allowed.
Landscape Plan: The petitioner has indicated the use of a wide variety of plant species on their
landscape plan. The City's Natural Resources Coordinator reviewed the landscape plan and they
have the following comments and recommendations:
1. Redbud can be marginally hardy in open areas, it is recommended to keep it located as
planned in a somewhat protected space near the home on Lot 2, Block 1.
2. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources considers Norway maple and Amur
maple as terrestrial invasive plants due to heavy seed production. Other native options to
consider are red maple, sugar maple, or hackberry for the larger Norway maple; and
ironwood, highbush cranberry, other crabapple varieties for the Amur maple
substitutions.
Public Hearing Comments: Open the public hearing, receive comments, and close the public
hearing. It is the policy of the Planning Commission not to act on a public hearing item the night
of the public hearing.

Proposed Action
Open the public hearing, receive comments and close the public hearing. It is the policy of the
Planning Commission not to act on a public hearing item the night of the public hearing.
Project Summary/Issues
The applicant is proposing to subdivide the existing outlot into two lots. Lot 1 will be 1.97 acres and
197.5 feet wide and Lot 2 will be .82 acres with a lot width of 137.53 feet. Both lots exceed the
minimum lot area and lot width requirements.
The site plan shows a single driveway off Emperor Avenue that will provide access to the two lots.
The driveway will be centered on the common lot line of the two proposed lots. The proposed
driveway and parking layout will require a cross access and parking easement that will need to be
recorded with the final plat. The proposed driveway is insufficiently offset from the driveways to the
properties along the west side of Emperor Avenue. Shifting the driveway north to align with the
Apple Valley Municipal Liquor store driveway may be problematic, as it will be located adjacent to
the beginning of the right turn /thru lane. Moving the driveway south to align with the Think Bank
driveway may be the better alternative.
Sanitary sewer and watermain connections are proposed to the building on Lot 1 from existing lines
in the Emperor Avenue. No proposed utility connections to Lot 2 are shown at this time.
The storm sewer design shows water being collected from Lot 1 and directed east and south via
underground pipe to Lot 2. The plan shows a pipe connection from Lot 2 to an existing storm pipe in
Cobblestone Lake Parkway. Because the storm sewer pipes traverse across the two properties, it will
be necessary to have a storm sewer management/maintenance agreement between the two properties.
The utility plan does not show any infiltration areas. City code requires on-site infiltration of the
first one-half inch of storm water resulting from any rainfall event.
The planned development ordinance calls for sidewalks into and throughout commercial areas,
between buildings and across parking areas where appropriate. Sidewalks will need to be installed
along the east side of Emperor Avenue and north side of 158tH Street West. Internal sidewalk
connections from sidewalks along those streets as well as between the two lots should be made as
part of any development on the two lots.

Location Map
Comprehensive Plan: The outlot is currently guided "MIX" (Mixed Use) Mixed use areas
contain a mix of retail and service business, office, institutional, medium and higher density
residential, public uses and/or park and recreation uses. The uses may be mixed vertically (in a
common structure) or horizontally (in a common site or area). Among the objectives for Mixed
Use areas are:
• Organize land use in a compact and walkable environment.
• Set standards for private development and public improvements that produce enduring
quality and enhance the character and identity of Apple Valley.
• Encourage parking strategies that support greater intensity of use.
• Integrate green/open space and trails into Mixed Use areas.
• Improve environmental conditions, such as water quality and energy use, through
development incentives.
• Connect Mixed Use areas to public facilities, including transit systems, and to the broader
community.
Mixed Use will be implemented through planned development zoning. The City will also use
design standards and other land use controls to achieve the desired outcomes. At the present
time, the Central Village, Apple Valley Transit Station, former Apple Valley Transit Station, and
a small portion of Cobblestone Lake are designated Mixed Use.
Any proposed use for this site will need to be consistent with the "MIX" designation by
providing uses within Cobblestone Lake that will serve the neighborhood.
Comprehensive Plan Map
"MIX" (Mixed Use)
Zoning: The property is zone Planned Development No. 703/zone 6. Identified uses in zone 6
include a wide variety of retail, restaurants, professional offices, educational tutoring services,
convenience stores, apartments, and continuum of care facilities. No use is proposed with this
application.
Zoning Map
"PD-703/zone 6" (Planned Development)
Preliminary Plat: The subject property is currently a 1.97 -acre outlot located at the southeast
comer of 157th Street West and Emperor Avenue. Direct access to the site is via Emperor Avenue
and 158th Street West, private streets located along the west and south sides of the property. The
east half of Emperor Avenue is in an existing 30 -foot wide drainage and utility easement located
along the west side of the outlot and the north half of 158th Street West is located in a 25 -foot wide
drainage and utility easement located along the south side of the outlot. An access restriction
easement is in place that restricts access from 157th Street West and Cobblestone Lake Parkway.
The applicant is proposing to subdivide the existing outlot into two lots. Lot 1 will be 1.97 acres
and 197.5 feet wide and Lot 2 will be .82 acres with a lot width of 137.53 feet. Both lots exceed
the minimum lot area and lot width requirements.
All existing drainage and utility easements and the access restriction easement will remain with the
split of the outlot.
Site Plan: The applicant is requesting site plan/building permit authorization at this time, but they
have submitted a site plan for City review. The plan shows a 7500 -sq. ft. building and 50 surface
parking spaces on Lot 1 and a 5500 -sq. ft. building and 37 surface parking spaces on Lot 2.
Access to the two lots will be from a driveway off Emperor Avenue. The driveway will be
centered on the common lot line of the two proposed lots. The proposed driveway and parking
layout will require a cross access and parking easement that will need to be recorded with the final
plat. The proposed driveway is insufficiently offset from the driveways to the properties along the
west side of Emperor Avenue. Shifting the driveway north to align with the Apple Valley
Municipal Liquor store driveway may be problematic, as it will be located adjacent to beginning of
the right tum /thru lane. Moving the driveway south to align with the Think Bank driveway may
be the better alternative.
The proposed number of parking spaces is sufficient to serve the proposed buildings.
Grading Plan: The site has been graded as part of the sand and gravel mining reclamation of the
site. Therefore, minimal grading to accommodate the proposed building and parking lot will be
needed prior to construction.
Availability of Municipal Utilities: The applicant is proposing to provide sanitary sewer and
watermain connections to the building on Lot 1 from existing lines in the Emperor Avenue
drainage and utility easement. No proposed utility connections to Lot 2 are shown at this time.
The storm sewer design shows water being collected from Lot 1 and directed east and south via
underground pipe to Lot 2. The plan shows a pipe connection from Lot 2 to an existing storm pipe
in Cobblestone Lake Parkway. Because the storm sewer pipes traverse across the two properties, it
will be necessary to have a storm sewer management/maintenance agreement between the two
properties.
The utility plan does not show any infiltration areas. City code requires on-site infiltration of the
first one-half inch of storm water resulting from any rainfall event.
Street Classifications/Accesses/Circulation: The subject property is located adjacent to 157th
Street West, a collector street with a design capacity of 5,000-15,000 vehicle trips per day; and
Cobblestone Lake Parkway, a local street with a design capacity of 3,000-5,000 vehicle trips per
day. No direct access from a public street to the site is proposed.
Two private streets, Emperor Avenue and 158th Street West, will provide direct access to the
property. The private streets are generally centered on property lines of abutting lots. To ensure
unfettered access to each other's section of the road, this configuration requires a cross access
easement and maintenance agreement between all the affected property owners, which has been
executed by the affected property owners along the two private streets. The petitioner will need to
provide the City with documentation that they are a party to the existing "Agreement for
Easements and Use Restrictions" prior to final plat approval.
Pedestrian Access: The planned development ordinance calls for sidewalks into and throughout
commercial areas, between buildings and across parking areas where appropriate. A sidewalk is
currently located along the west side of Emperor Avenue, on the east side of street to the south of
the site, and along 157th Street West and Cobblestone Lake Parkway. The petitioner isro osin
157th p p g
to make sidewalk connections from Lot 1 to sidewalks along 157 Street West and Cobblestone
Lake Parkway.
Sidewalks will need to be installed along the east side of Emperor Avenue and north side of 158th
Street West. Internal sidewalk connections from sidewalks along those streets and between the
two properties should be made as part of any development on the two lots.
Public Hearing Comments: Open the public hearing, receive comments and close the public
hearing. It is the policy of the Planning Commission not to act on a public hearing item the night
of the public hearing.

Project Summary/Issues
The petitioner, OneTwoOne Development, requests consideration of amendments to PD -739,
subdivision by preliminary plat, and site plan review/building permit authorization for construction
of a 58 -unit senior cooperative building on the southwest corner of Galaxie Avenue and 153rd
Street (commonly referred to as the "Triangle Property") at 7070 — 153rd St. W. The property is
located within PD -739 which implements the vision of the Central Village Plan. The zoning
performance standards are intended to create an integrated mixed use development in a compact,
pedestrian -friendly form adjacent to the City's existing downtown.
The Central Village Design Guidelines were adopted December 8, 2003 and since that time,
several different proposals have been reviewed for this parcel. The property is located within Zone
2 of the PD zoning district which allows multiple family development, but requires office and
commercial uses to be included in the building. The proposed development would include
multiple family development, but no commercial uses are proposed to be included in the residential
building. Instead, the petitioner seeks an amendment to Zone 2 that would allow mixed-use in a
horizontal, not vertical form.
The overall development plan shows that Zvago Apple Valley, a 58 -unit senior cooperative
building, would be located on the west side of the development site abutting the Founders Lane
round -about. Pads are shown on the east side of the site abutting Galaxie Avenue for construction
of 18,410 sq. ft. of single story retail and a 5,850 sq. ft. single story office building. The fact that
the property to the east is being platted as an outlot suggests that the commercial development will
occur in the future.
The petitioner modified the plans since the time of the public hearing by reducing the height of the
office building to a single -story structure. The Planned Development requires a two-story
appearance for one-story buildings. The corner of Galaxie Avenue and 153rd Street is a signature
corner that will need to have mass and prominence that matches the Galante building to the
northeast and the Shops on Galaxie to the east.
The City of Apple Valley was awarded a Livable Communities Demonstration Account grant of
S1,148,639 to assist with the purchase of the property. The funding will help to incentivize a
denser development form than is typically seen in Apple Valley. One of the conditions of the grant
is that the development must include residential and commercial development and both projects
must commence prior to December 31, 2017.
PD -739 does not have a provision that would allow for a reduction in the number of required
parking spaces for senior development. One hundred and thirty-six (136) parking spaces or 2.3
spaces per unit would be required; 98 spaces are provided which is 1.7 spaces per unit. In the
City's experience, senior developments tend to request parking ratios of 0.9 to 1.1 spaces/unit.
City staff believes this development will cater to more active seniors, so more parking spaces are
provided. In fact, the petitioner is providing additional underground parking to allow for parking
denser development form than is typically seen in Apple Valley. One of the conditions of the grant
is that the development must include residential and commercial development and both projects
must commence prior to December 31, 2017.

City staff believes this development will cater to more active seniors, so more parking spaces are
provided. In fact, the petitioner is providing additional underground parking to allow for parking
of two vehicles. The petitioner requests amendments to PD -739 to allow for fewer parking spaces
in developments restricted to seniors, in line with other senior developments that have been
approved in the City.
The preliminary plat shows the property is to be subdivided into two parcels. The location of the
lot line is odd because it essentially cuts off the west side of the parking lot. The proposal is to
create a lot for the senior cooperative and an outlot for the future commercial development. The
petitioner states that all of the parking will be shared and cross -parking and cross -access easement
will be executed between the senior coop building and the commercial lot.

Project Review
Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan guides the development of this property for
"MIX" (Mixed Uses). The overall Village Pointe Plaza plan shows that a 58 -unit senior
cooperative building, Zvago Apple Valley, would be constructed on the west side of the property
while commercial is planned to be constructed along Galaxie Ave. At this time, the overall site
plan is showing 18,410 sq. ft. of single -story retail and 5,850 sq. ft. of single story office on the
east side of the site.
Senior cooperative housing meets the City's goal of ensuring that a variety of housing types are
available for life -cycle housing in the community. A cooperative is a housing product where the
owners own shares in a corporation that owns the property; shareholders are then entitled to
exclusive use of a housing unit in the property.
Zoning: The property is located within a Planned Development zoning district, PD -739, Zone 2.
The zoning designation has specific design standards and requirements to create a more mixed-
use, compact and walkable neighborhood. Zone 2 allows multiple family residential
development only when part of a building containing commercial uses. Thep lan for the
development will be to create a horizontal mixed-use development rather than a vertical one.
This will require an amendment to PD -739, Zone 2 or a rezoning of the property to Zone 3.
Preliminary Plat: The preliminary plat of Village Pointe Plaza subdivides the 3.7-acrero ert
p p Y
into two lots. Lot 1 is located on the west side of the site and is the location of the Apple
o A le
Valley Senior Cooperative development. Oudot A is east of the cooperative building and is
planned to have commercial uses along Galaxie Avenue. The location of the property line on the
east side of the Lot 1 is odd given the proposed parking configuration. The property line splits
off one row of parking from the western parking lot. Cross parking and cross access easements
will be dedicated between the Zvago building and the commercial buildings to the east, but it
would be important for the cooperative site to meet its off-street parking requirements on its own
property. It would make more sense for the line to be located east of the existing location
between the two proposed parking lots rather than splitting off a row of parking spaces.
The fact that the property to the east is being platted as an outlot suggests that the commercial
development will occur in the future. The City of Apple Valley was awarded a Livable
Communities Demonstration Account grant of $1,148,639 in 2015 to help off -set the cost of this
development and to ensure a more compact and walkable development. One of the conditions of
the grant is that the development must include a mixed-use residential and commercial
development.
A 10' drainage and utility easement should be dedicated along all property lines abutting a public
street. The easement is not shown on the west corner of the site adjacent to Founders Circle.
Site Plan: The site plan shows that the building will be located on the west portion of the
triangle property. Access to the site will be taken on the north from 153rd Street West and on the
southwest from Founders Lane. The proposed access point on 153rd Street aligns with the alley
between Galaxie Commons and the Grandstay Hotel. Access to the undergroundarag
e is
g
shown on the northeast corner of the building.
The primary resident entrance to the building will be on the east side of the building. A "front"
entrance is shown to the community area on the west side of the building. An outdoor
community patio is shown on the west side of the building which is supported by a 2' retaining
wall and surrounded by a wrought -iron type fence.
The parking calculation for PD -739 is based upon the number of bedrooms in a unit. PD -739 has
no adjustment or allowance for reduced parking for a senior development. The PD-739arkin
p g
requirement for a general occupancy 58 -unit multiple residential building would be a minimum
of 58 garage spaces and 78 surface spaces for a total of 136 spaces or 2.3 spaces/unit. The
petitioner is showing 72 garage spaces, 22 surface spaces and 4 on -street spaces for a total of 98
spaces or 1.7 spaces/unit. The petitioner will provide additional information concerning typical
parking demand for senior cooperatives in other locations. The Summerhill Senior Cooperative
on Cedar Avenue and 140th Street W. has a parking ratio of 1.8 spaces/unit. The Seasons of
Apple Valley on the east side of Galaxie Avenue has a parking ratio of 1.0 spaces/unit. In the
City's experience, senior developments typically request a parking ratio of 0.9 to 1.1
spaces per
p
unit. So, although the proposed number of spaces is less than the PD requirement, it is quite a bit
higher than a typical senior development.
Grading Plan: The grading plan was reviewed by the City Engineer. He provided specific
technical comments related to the garage floor elevations and the nearby stormwater elevations.
Additional information is needed. Any approvals would be subject to final review and approval
of the grading plan by the City Engineer.
Elevation Drawings: The four-story buildings will have exterior building materials including
colored concrete block, brick, and cementitious fiberboard panels. The building is proposed to
be 48' tall which is well below the maximum allowed of 80'.
Landscape Plan: The value of the landscape planting (not including sod or hardscape including
edging, rock or mulch) must meet or exceed 2-1/2% of the value of the cost of construction of
the building based on Means Construction Data. Irrigation may count towards the landscape
budget. Also, permanent structures such as pergolas, trellises, planters and art may be included
in the landscape budget. The petitioner will be required to submit a nursery bid list at the time of
application of the building permit that confirms the value of the landscape plantings.
Availability of Municipal Utilities: Utilities are stubbed into the site and available. The utility
plan will be subject to final review and approval of the City Engineer.
Street Classifications/Accesses/Circulation:
• Galaxie Avenue - Major Collector — 105' Right of Way.
• 153rd Street — Minor Collector — 64' Right of Way.
• Founders Lane — Local Commercial Street — 64' Right of Way.
The subject site abuts westbound one-way 153rd Street on the north, southeast -bound one-way
Founders Lane on the west and Galaxie Avenue on the east. The Founders Circle roundabout is
located on the west side of the site. The one-way lanes were designed to allow easy pedestrian
crossing of the streets. No access is proposed from Galaxie Avenue. One access each is shown
from both 153rd Street and Founders Lane. The site access points exiting the site will need to be
designed so that the one-way street designation is clearly visible.
Pedestrian Access: The site is located within the Central Village area which is intended to be a
walkable neighborhood. The plans indicate that internal sidewalks and painted walkways are
provided to ensure safe pedestrian circulation through the site. A walkway on the east side of the
building traverses a landscaped lawn area with a trellis feature that will enhance the pedestrian
experience and clearly identify the main entrance to the building. Pedestrian access to the west
side of the site through the Founders Circle roundabout will need to be evaluated to ensure
visitors will be able to park north of 153rd Street and safely access the west side of the Zvago
building.
Public Safety Issues: None identified at this time.
Recreation Issues: The site is located less than 1/4 -mile from Kelley Park. A park dedication
of cash -in -lieu of land will be required for this development in connection with the subdivision of
the property.
Signs: A sign is shown constructed on the 2' tall retaining wall supporting the outdoor patio on
the west side of the site. No sign approvals are given at this time. No signs may be installed
prior to the issuance of a permit. A separate sign permit must be obtained prior to the installation
of any signs on the site or the building.
Public Hearing Comments: The public hearing was held on August 17, 2016. Below is a
summary of the questions asked along with staff responses.
1. What is the distance from the east line of the cooperative parcel to Galaxie Avenue?
Staff response: According to the preliminary plat, the east line of Lot 1 is 173' feet from
Galaxie Avenue.
2. Concern that a requirement of the building is that it needs to be limited to those 62 and
older. Staff response: The age limit is due to the HUD financing that is being used for
this development.
3. Concern about adding 30,000 sq. ft. of commercial when there are commercial vacancies
nearby. Staff response: Since the time of this comment (August 7, 2016) the economy
continues to improve. The City does not conduct market studies to confirm demand for a
certain development. Instead, the developer is responsible to ensure his/her development
will be marketable. The commercial element of the project is an important part of the
mixed-use development and is critical in order to receive the grant funding from the Met
Council.
4. Was the number of parking spaces the limiting factor in how many units will be
constructed in the building? Staff response: No. The decision to decrease the number of
units was due more to an interest in units with larger floor plans. Originally the
developer thought 78 units would be constructed on the site. After meeting with
interested potential buyers, the petitioner decided to modify the plans to better fit
customer demand and decreased the number of units to 58.

TO: Planning Commissioners
FROM: Thomas Lovelace, City Planner
MEETING
DATE: June 21, 2017
SUBJECT: 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update
ITEM NO.: 6A
MEMO
Community Development
At the June 21, Planning Commission meeting, you will receive an update and handouts about the
2040 Comprehensive Plan Update. Information expected to be presented:
1. A draft of the "Community Context chapter of the Plan.
2. Update on the City's citizen outreach process that will include responses from the 2040 Comp
Plan webpage and Parks and Recreation surveys, and other outreach efforts.
3. Update on Parks and Active Living, Transportation, and Utilities sections of the Plan.
Introduction
Planning for the future does not start on a clean
slate. The future will be built on the foundation of
Apple Valley, as it exists today. The Apple Valley of
today has evolved over time, shaped by a variety of
forces. A variety of factors will shape the future of
Apple Valley. A clear understanding of these influ-
ences provides the context for planning decisions.
It is impossible to plan for the future without a
careful examination of the physical, demographic,
social and economic characteristics of the com-
munity. What characteristics exist today and are
likely to be the same in 2040? How is the com-
munity changing and how might these trends in-
fluence the future? Do these characteristics point
to potential public actions through the Compre-
hensive Plan? The Community Context provides
information needed to answer these questions.
Historic Context
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan update is part of
an ongoing process of community planning in
Apple Valley. Land use management predates the
incorporation of Apple Valley in 1974. The Leba-
non Township Board adopted the first zoning or-
dinance in 1954 and formed the initial Planning
Commission in 1962. The first comprehensive
plan was prepared in 1972 and used a "new town"
concept of seven residential neighborhoods sup-
ported by village centers and the downtown area.
The 1979 Land Use Plan responded to the require-
ments of the 1976 Metropolitan Land Planning
Act. The 1979 Land Use Plan was originally estab-
lished as a flexible guide oriented towards a pat -

tern of development that emphasized the down-
town area. However, through the amendment
process, numerous land use designations were
created, especially in the business and institutional
categories, that ended to defeat the emphasis on
flexibility. The 1979 Plan was quite specific in de-
-ging the types of business planned for each par-
cel The specificity of the approach took on a reg-
ulatory approach rather than a planning approach.
Apple Valley is forecasted to add
14,000 residents by 2040.
The Comprehensive Plan was updated in 2000
(2020 Plan) and again in 2009 (2030 Plan). The
2030 Plan has served as the development guide
CITY OF APPLE VALLEY 12040 Comprehensive Plan Update
for Apple Valley since it was adopted in 2009.
Over the past fifty years, Apple Valley has trans-
formed from a rural township to a city of more
than 50,000 people. The remainder of this His-
toric Context section examines key trends, past
plans, and recent development that frame the
issues that must be considered in planning for
the next twenty years. Other sections of the
Community Context chapter provide more
detailed information about the demograph-
ic and physical characteristics of Apple Valley.
Population Growth
While Apple Valley has grown steadily over the
past fifty years, the amount of population growth
y::
Apple
Valley
3-1
dropped in each decade from 1970 to 2010. At
the 2010 Census, Apple Valley's population was
49,084, an increase of 3,557 from 2000. By 2020,
the population is forecasted to grow to 55,500,
an increase of 6,416 residents. The Metropol-
itan Council forecasts slower growth from 2020
to 2040, the planning horizon for this update
of the Comprehensive Plan. The population is
forecasted to grow to 63,600 by 2040, with an-
nual growth averaging around 400 residents per
year over the next two decades. (See Figure 3.1)
Housing Development Trends
Population growth and housing development
go hand-in-hand. Figure 3.2 shows annual
new housing starts, based on building permit
data from the State of the Cities Data Systems
(SOCDS) for the period 2006 to 2015. This
chart makes several important points about res-
idential development trends in Apple Valley:
• 1,214 new housing units were built from 2006
to 2015. The pace of development slowed
considerably from the previous period. (The
2030 Plan reported 7,994 new units from 19
to 2007.) The effect of the national housing
bubble and subsequent recession is evident
beginning in the late 2000s.
• 43% of the units were single family, 4% were
multi -family structures with 3-4 units, and
53% were multi -family structures with five or
more units.

• Similarly, single-family attached homes (town -
homes) represent 23% of total development
since 2000. However, nearly all townhome
construction occurred in the early 2000s. With
this initial burst of townhome supply, the lo-
cal housing market appears to have shifted
away from further townhome development.
CITY OF APPLE VALLEY 12040 Comprehensive Plan Update
While these trends do not determine future hous-
ing development, they lead to important questions.
What pace of new housing development can be ex-
pected in the short-term and the long-term? How
can Apple Valley best encourage an appropriate mix
of new housing options? How does housing influ-
ence the characteristics of the future population?
Commercial, Industrial, and
Institutional Development
Another means of describing recent develop-
ment trends comes from the value of new con-
struction reported by building permits. Figure 3.3
shows the reported value of all building permits
for commercial, industrial, and institutional from
2003 to 2015. Note that this chart does not ex-
press the number of establishments or the num-
ber/quality of jobs associated with investment.

Commercial, industrial, and institutional develop-
ment dipped in 2010 and ceased in 2011. Otherwise,
it occurred at a more even pace than residential de-
velopment, and rebounded quicker from the reces-
sion. Other key takeaways from the chart include:
• The permitted value for new commercial, in-
dustrial, and institutional development aver-
aged $16.7 million from 2003 to 2015, rang-
ing from a low of no development in 2011 to
$34.7 million in 2006.
• Commercial development, which includes
businesses that provide goods and/or ser-
vices, constituted 47% of the total investment
in non-residential development since 2003.
Commercial development occurred in every
year but 2011.
• Public and Institutional development consti-
tuted 34% of total investment in non-residen-
tial development. Public uses, such as schools,
parks, and public service facilities, are financed
with public dollars. Institutional uses, includ-
ed churches and hospitals, may not be. Th'
has been sustained investment in public an i
instructional facilities.
• Industrial development constituted 11 % the
total investment from 2003 to 2015. Indus-
trial development did not occur as regularly
as commercial or institutional development.
Nevertheless, industrial development is a vital
component of the local economy, and invest-
ment increased each year from 2013 to 2015,

2015, according to the Dakota County Asses-
sor, City property tax receipts totaled more
than $68 million. Approximately $50 million
was from residential (single-family and apart-
ments), $17 million was from commercial,
and just over $ 1 million was from industrial.

Apple Valley Property Values
Protecting property values is a key goal of urban
planning. Understandinglocalpropertyvalue trends
helps jurisdictions make informed decisions. For
example, areas with low or declining property values
may be opportunities for redevelopment — or they
may indicate locations of functioning affordable
housing that should be protected. Figures 3.4 and
3.5 illustrate property value trends in Apple Valley.
Figure 3.4 maps building value as a share of total
property value for the entire City, using the estimat-
ed values for taxes payable in 2015. This ratio is in-
tended to identify underutilized parcels that might
be opportunities for redevelopment. (White areas
on the map indicate parcels with suppressed data.)

erty value is lowest in the following situations:
• vacant lots
• lots with a high percentage of surface parking
• parks and open space
• lakes, wetlands, and stormwater ponds
• low-income housing
• other large parcels with small buildings
Some areas, such as parks and wetlands, provide
a valuable public function because they are un-
developed. Others, such as two mobile home
areas located east and west of Minnesota Trunk
Highway 77 (MN 77), provide affordable hous-
ing alternatives for low-income residents. Truly
vacant or underutilized areas should be consid-
ered for redevelopment. (Compare this map to
the map of existing land use on Figure 3.XX.)
Another way to visualize development efficien-
cy is to divide total taxable value (building value
plus lot value) by parcel area. Like the previous
metric, total taxable value/parcel area is contin-
gent on the use of the parcel, the total property
value, and the intensity of development. For ex-
ample, the downtown focus area shows a notiL
ably higher taxable value per square foot than the
surrounding residential area this is largely due to
the concentration of retail and related commer-
cial businesses in the area. However, some areas
within the downtown focus area perform better
than others from a tax -efficiency perspective.
Figure 3.5 maps total taxable value per square foot
of parcel area, for taxes payable in 2015, in the
downtown focus area. The commercial develop-
ment on Galaxie Avenue and 153rd Street West has
a taxable value greater than $3/square foot, as does
the adjacent property, Vivo Kitchen, and The Sea-
sons at Apple Valley, a senior housing facility. The
Wings Financial Credit Union on Glazier Avenue
is taxed at approximately $2.99/square foot. Mean-
while, the Super Target on Cedar Avenue is taxed at
$0.73/square foot; Best Buy at $0.91 /square foot.
From a parcel utilization standpoint, commercial
properties that are developed at highe• inten-
sities/densities perform better than properties
that are developed at lesser intensities/densities.
One critical variable that influer 'es tax of Pn-
cy (taxable value per square foot) is total prop,
ty value/square foot. Clearly, higher -value prop-
erties provide more total tax revenue. However,
the most efficient developments are those that
have a high property value per squa -e foot, and
therefore a higher ta7—ble value 1\ -r square foot.
Parcel size is also a critical determinant. Once par-
cels approach 4-5 acres (approximately 200,000
square feet), it is nearly impossible to achieve a
taxable return than $1 per square/foot. This is be-
cause a large percentage of "big -box" development
is devoterl to -king and internal vehicle circula-
tion. Also, large commercial buildings tend to be
ngle-story and permit only one use of the parcel.
20s4 Plan
The 2030 Comprehensive Plan was adopt-
ed in 2009. Figure 3.7 shows the pattern
of development and types of land use envi-
sioned at that time. The 2030 Plan provides
a frame of reference for viewing changes in
the community since that plan was adopted.

Recent Development
The previous sections show broad trends for
growth and development. It is useful to look in-
side these trends. Since 2000, a variety of actions
have laid the foundation for future development.
Cobblestone Lake
In 2002, Tradition Development began con-
struction of Cobblestone Lake. This 323 -acre
master -planned community lies in the southeast
portion of the South Central Planning Area. At
completion, Cobblestone Lake will contain over
2,000 homes with varying styles and densities.
The commercial element of Cobblestone Lake
took shape in 2007. The master plan for the com-
mercial area contained an 180,000 square foot
Super Target and four other buildings (26,400
square feet) . The Cobblestone Lake commer-
cial area is located on the east side of Pilot Knob
Road at 155th Street. This commercial dis-
trict represents the first major commercial area
not physically connected to the downtown area.
Central Village
In December 2003, the City Council approved
the "Central Village Plan". This plan established
the development principles for a 60 -acre area sur-
rounding the 153rd Street/Galaxie Avenue area.
Through 2007, the City approved the develop-
ment of 1,371 housing units, with a mix of town-
house, condominium, apartment, and senior only
dwelling units, and approximately 450,000 square
feet of commercial/retail/office space. The de-
velopment on the east side of Galaxie Avenue
includes the 105 -unit Legacy Square Townhous-
es, 16,000 square foot office building, a 14,000
square foot restaurant, and a 45,000 square foot

Cedar Avenue Improvements/BRT
More than ten years of study and planning laid
the foundation for upcoming improvements
to the form and function of Cedar Avenue. In
2008, Dakota County formally adopted a plan
for roadway and transit improvements on Ce-
dar Avenue in Apple Valley. The plan included:
• Construction of roadway improvements that
included the addition of a thru lane between
153rd and 160th Streets.
• Operation of a shoulder -running bus rapid
transit (BRT) system, which began operation
in 2013.
• Construction of two new transit stops in Ap-
ple Valley at 140th 147th Streets West.
Construction began in 2009 on the Apple Val-
ley Transit Station at the 155th Street/Ce-
dar Avenue intersection. The transit station
includes a parking deck, a northbound and
southbound shelter, and an overhead skyway.
Other roadway, intersection and transit improv,
ments should be anticipated over the life of this Plal

Location
Apple Valley lies in Dakota County in the outh-
ern portion of the seven -county Twin Cities
Metropolitan Area. Apple Valley enjoys the ben-
efits of a unique location in t1ie region. ,See
Figure 3.8.) It is located approximately 20
miles from downtown Saint Paul and 20 mile,
from downtown Minneapolis. Minneapolis -St.
Paul International Airport is located 13 miles
from Apple Valley. This location is ideal for res-
idents who want to enjoy the amenities of the
Twin Cities but prefer a more suburban lifestyle.
Two major regional highways, I -35E and Cedar Av-
enue/Minnesota Trunk Highway 77 (MNTH 77),
connect Apple Valley with employment centers
-Ind amenities throughout the metro region. These
highways also provide local businesses with excel-
lent access to customers, employees, and shipping.
Existing Land Use
Apple Valley's physical setting forms the foun-
dation of the Comprehensive Plan. Existing
land use patterns influence the type and loca-
tion of future development. Housing is the
largest land use and a defining characteristic.
Apple Valley contains 11,181 acres. The map
in Figure 3.9 shows a snapshot of land use in
CITY OF APPLE VALLEY 12040 Comprehensive Plan Update
2017. Table 3.1 contains the estimated area in
each land use category. The map uses an inter-
pretation of property tax data to determine ex-
isting land use. The purpose of this map is not
to precisely specify the use of each parcel, but
to illustrate the overall pattern of development.
• Low density residential is the dominant land use.
Single-family detached housing occupies ap-
proximately3 8% of AppleValley's totallandarea.
• Commercial uses, including retail, restau-
rants, and commercial offices/services
are primarily concentrated in the Down-
town Focus Area, along the Cedar Av-
enue and County Road 42 corridors.
• Parks and open spaces are located through-
out the community and include the Min-
nesota Zoo, Lebanon Hills Region-
al Park, and Valleywood Golf Course.
• The last large area of undeveloped land is
the gravel mining area located in south cen-
tral Apple Valley, which contains 413 acres.
Mining and reclamation will continue over the
next several years with development of the
reclaimed areas for a variety of uses over the
duration of this Plan's 2040 planning horizon.
Other physical characteristics influence the future
growth and development of Apple Valley. The
following elements are discussed in greater detail
in other chapters of the plan:
• Major street corridors are an important fac-

tor in organizing land uses. Most high-volume
commercial uses are located on higher classifi-
cation streets, such as arterials and collectors,
which ensure that they are highly visible to
customers and reduces through traffic on res-
idential streets. (Transportation - Chapter 8).
• The extension of a regional sanitary sewer in-
terceptor provides the capacity for land to be
developed in southern sections of Apple Val-
ley (see Utilities - Chapter 9).
• The municipal water system provides safe
drinking water and support for fire suppres-
sion. (Utilities - Chapter 9) .
• Stormwater management systems are required
to support development, but also become de-
fining physical features (storm water collection
ponds are among the more notable physical
features) (Utilities - Chapter 9).

location of identified aggregate resources. The
extraction of aggregate resources and the rec-
lamation of mining areas has been a defining
characteristic of Apple Valley. The last remaining
aggregate mining site in Apple Valley is Fisch-
er Sand and Aggregate mine located south of
County Road 42. The 2009 Comprehensive Plan
identified this site for redevelopment, with a fo-
cus on establishing new job opportunities on a
"mixed -business campus." Portions of this area
shown as a "Sand and Gravel" on the Existing
Land Use Map, is being reclaimed and redevelop-
ment planning is under way. Development of this
site will occur in stages as mining is phased out.
Housing
Housing comprises most of the land area in Apple
Valley, accounting for more than 48% of the exist-
ing land use. Housing shapes the form and char-
acter of the community. It influences who lives in
Apple Valley today and in the future. According to
the Census, there was net growth of 3,389 housing
units from 2000 to 2015, a 20% increase. Figure 3.9
illustrates this growth for different types of housing,
including single-family attached, single-family de-
tached, and multi -family buildings of various sizes.
Housing Types
Single-family detached housing is the most com-
mon type of housing in Apple Valley. Nearly 53%
of all existing housing in 2015 was single-family
detached housing. This type of housing is occupied
by a single family and is not physically connected to
any other housing unit. However, the housing sup-
ply is becoming more diverse, and the share of sin-
gle-family detached housing continues to decline
due to an increase in higher density multi -family
development. In 1990, 68% of the City's housing

stock consisted of single-family detached hous-
ing. In 2000, that share was 61%, and in 2015, it
was down to 52%. Single-family attached homes
(townhomes) and apartment structures/senior
housing with 10 or more units account for 94% of
the housing stock growth. (See Figure 3.2, Annu-
al Housing Units Permitted in Apple Valley.)
Most multi -family growth is attributed to apart-
ment facilities with 10 units or more. From 2000 to
2015, there was a net increase of 1,208 dwellings
in multi -family structures containing 10 or more
units. The share of this housing type increased

age. While larger homes are desirable today, it is
important to ensure a variety of home sizes and
floor plans to continue to improve the flexibility
and affordability of Apple Valley's housing stock.
Owner -occupied and Rental Housing
Most housing in Apple Valley is owner -occupied;
however, the share of renter -occupied housing
units is increasing. The 2000 Census reported that
87% occupied housing units were owner -occupied.
The 2015 ACS estimates that 78% of occupied
housing is owner -occupied. (See Figure 3.10.)This
represents a significant change and is consistent
with the increase in multiple family and attached
housing that took place between 2000 and 2015.
Rental housing is provided primarily by multi-
ple -family structures. More than 55% of rental
housing was in structures with 10 or more units.
Approximately 26% of rental housing was sin-
gle-family attached units. Approximately 10%
of rental units were single-family detached.
Since 2009, approximately 1,300 multi- fami-
ly dwelling units have been added to Apple Val-
ley's housing stock, which has increased the per-

The age of the housing stock is a useful planning
statistic. It is one indicator of historic growth pat-
terns. It is also a useful guide for future housing
maintenance needs. As housing ages, it requires
reinvestment to retain its value and integrity.
Figure 3.12 illustrates the age of Apple Valley's
housing stock by decade of construction. Over half
of all housing units are more than 30 years old. Ac -

cording to Dakota County property tax data, 52%
of all housing units (through 2016) were built pri-
or to 1987. These units are primarily single-family.
Metropolitan Council Forecasts
Growth trends and projections are critical ele-
ments of the Comprehensive Plan. Historic trends
describe how current conditions evolved and may
offer insights about future development. Looking
to 2040, Apple Valley will continue to grow as a
place to live, work and shop. Projections of fu-
ture development determine the demand for land,
the need for infrastructure and municipal services.
Future growth is a critical consideration in up-
dating Apple Valley's Comprehensive Plan. The
Comprehensive Plan relies on the most recent
forecasts made by the Metropolitan Council. Ta-
ble 3.2 contains population, household and em-
ployment forecasts for 2020, 2030 and 2040 with
comparisons to actual totals for 2000 and 2010.
These forecasts show Apple Valley's population
increasing by more than 13,000 people (30%)
from 2010 to 2040. Growth is anticipated to be
steady, ranging from 400 to 600 persons per year.
The Census data implies that average househol
size was 2.60 in 2010. The forecast assumes that
average household size will remain steady, declin-
ing slightly to 2.55 persons per household by 2040.
Metropolitan Council has revised its previous
forecast to project a slower rate of job growth in
Apple Valley. The updated forecast anticipates an
increase of 2,821 jobs from 2010 to 2040, or 20%
growth. This rate of job growth is slower than the
rate of population growth. In 2010, there were 0.29
jobs per person; that ratio is expected to decline

to 0.27 jobs per person in 2040. Most job growth
in Apple Valley is forecasted to occur by 2020.
This forecast may need to be revised following
refinement and approval of a development plan
for the Fischer Sand and Aggregate mining area.
Forecasting for any local jurisdiction is a challenge.

with the ' .;st a ilable data. One benefit of the

forecasts is that they are rooted in a regional socio-
economic model. Thus, they account for regional
economic factors that are anticipated to exercise
general effects throughout the metropolitan area.
The level of uncertainty associated with the fore-
casts for Apple Valley is tempered by geographical
constraints. The city is unlikely to grow dramati-
cally more than the forecasts given, simply because

Valley
it is running out of available land for development.
Future growth will be supported to some extent by
redevelopment. Population growth will be primar-
ily driven by migration. As the metropolitan area
grows outward, Apple Valley will have the advan-
tage of being a suburb that is closer to Minneapolis
and St. Paul than developing fringe cities, centrally
located within the southern suburbs. Therefore, it
may be more likely to retain and attract residents
who would prefer to avoid longer commute times.
Nevertheless, no forecast is perfect, and any num-
ber of uncertain macroeconomic factors could
cause deviation from these forecasts. Looking
ahead to 2040, a variety of factors will influence
actual growth outcomes, including the following:
• National economic and housing market con-
ditions.
• Local development of adequate housing, util-
ities, and other infrastructure to support the
forecasted growth.
• The cost and availability of energy.
• Changing climate conditions that make the
Twin Cities more or less favorable relative to
other regions in the United States.
• Competition from other communities, partic-
ularly other communities in the Twin Cities
metro, which encourages populations to "vote
with their feet."
• Redevelopment

their implications for the future of Apple Valley.
Housing Forecasts
A study of future housing needs in Dakota Coun-
ty provides insights on future development in
Apple Valley. In 2013, Maxfield Research Inc.
prepared a Comprehensive Housing Needs As-
sessment for the Dakota County Communi-
ty Development Agency. This study forecasts
housing demand in two stages, from 2010 to
2020 (where are the 2010-2020 forecasts?) and
from 2020 to 2030. The study breaks down de-
mand for rented and owner -occupied single-fam-
ily, multi -family, and senior housing. Table 3.3
summarizes the study's findings for Apple Valley.
The total forecasted demand for new units
ranges from 2,170 to 2,408. This forecast is
approximately 50% higher than Metropoli-
tan Council's forecasted household growth
for 2020-2030, which is 1,600 households.

Commercial -Industrial Forecasts
Two studies examined the capacity for future com-
mercial -industrial development in Apple Valley.
In 2006, the city commissioned a study of future
office and industrial development (Apple Val-
ley Office/Industrial Market Potential - Novem-
ber 2006, McComb Group, Ltd) . The McComb
study made several important findings about
the potential for future business development:
T' study estimated the long-term poten-
tial for 4,000,000 square feet of office, office
showroo 1 and office warehouse development.
• The study estimated future demand for
about 233 acres of office/business park land.
A 2007 Market Study for Commercial and In-
dustrial Space in Dakota County conducted by
Maxfield Research Inc. for the Dakota Coun-
ty Community Development Agency found:
• The projected demand from 2008 to 2030 for
commercial/retail space is 1,900,000 square
feet of building using 160 acres in land.
CITY OF APPLE VALLEY 12040 Comprehensive Plan Update
Apple
Valley
• The projected demand from 2008 to 2030 for
office space is 675,000 square feet of build-
ing using 60 acres in land. The study projects
6,430,000 square feet/545 acres of demand
for all of Dakota County over this period.
• The projected demand from 2008 to 2030
for industrial space is 350,000 square feet of
building using 35 acres in land. Countywide
demand is 8,075,000 square feet over 855 acres.
In the decade since Maxfield Research Group
completed the 2007 study, approximately 68 acres
were developed for commercial, office, and in-
dustrial use. A market for commercial -industri-
al development continues to exist, assuming the
projections of the 2006 and 2007 studies remain
relevant. The Comprehensive Plan plays a role in
determining how the City can capture this demand.
It should be noted that these projections may
NOT be as relevant now as they were in 2007,
given current macroeconomic conditions. For
example, the current retail bubble led to more
than 100 store closures each by J.C. Penney, Sears,
and Macy's in early 2017. Nevertheless, it is in -

Characteristics of the Population
A comprehensive plan focuses most closely on
the physical aspects of community - land use,
parks, streets, and utilities. Nevertheless, plan-
ning must recognize that the physical and social
aspects of community are intertwined. In fact,
one of the primary goals of city government is
to sustain/improve the health, safety, and wel-
fare of the citizens of the community. The land
use and built environment of a community in-
fluence a variety of social, cultural, and eco-
nomic characteristics, including the following:
• Household size and composition
• Housing affordability
• Availability of good local jobs
• Work/housing balance and commuting trends
• Access to commodities and services
• Places for interaction among residents
• Community diversity
In turn, the characteristics of the population influ-
ence many aspects of the community, including:
• Demands for goods
and services
• Demands for public services (public safe-
ty,
recreation, social services, education)
• Economic capacity to support both pri-
vate businesses and local government.

Age of Population
The characteristics of the Apple Valley's pop-
ulation are changing. The population has aged
consistently. In 1990, Apple Valley was a place
primarily made up of families with children.
Thirty-five percent (35%) of the 1990 popu-
lation was under age 18 and only 7% of Apple
CITY OF APPLE VALLEY 12040 Comprehensive Plan Update
.....
y::
Apple
Valley
Valley residents were 55 years of age or old-
er. By 2015, the proportion of residents age 18
or younger had fallen to 18% while the share of
residents aged 55 or over had grown to 26%.
Existing Age Cohort Composition
Figure 3.13 shows the existing composition of
3-17
Apple Valley's population, broken down by age
and sex. The distribution is consistent for chil-
dren through young adults. This shape corre-
sponds to steady, but not rapid, growth in Apple
Valley. There is a bulge for baby boomers fo-
cused around the age 50-54 cohort. This bulge
will move toward the top of the pyramid over
the timeline for this plan. There are more males
than females for every cohort under age 24.
Forecasted Age Composition
The aging of the population will be one of the
primary demographic trends over the life of
this Comprehensive Plan. The State Demogra-
pher provides detailed population forecasts for
each county, broken down by age cohort. These
forecasts can be used to supplement the fore-
casts from Metropolitan Council. Figure 3.14 il-
lustrates the change that is forecasted for each
cohort in Dakota County, from 2015 to 2040.
The State Demographer projects total population
growth of 70,514 for Dakota County. Growth in
the cohorts aged 70 or over account for more than
half of this increase. The largest net increase is for
the age 70-74 cohort, which is projected to grov
by 11,325. This increase is accompanied by a �.
cline in the number of individuals aged 45-54. (See
the preceding figure.) Little growth is anticipated
for the cohorts of children, youth, and teenagers.
Because this projection is for Dakota County (pop-
ulation 413,000), Apple Valley will experience only
a fraction of the growth depicted. Nevertheless,
the general trends for Dakota County are similar
for Apple Valley, and the City will experience sim-
ilar impacts as demand for goods and services re-
sponds to the needs of changing demographics.

While the overallp opulationwillgrow older, itis more
difficult to predict what this trend means for Apple
Valley. Several questions highlight the challenge of
forecasting the aging of Apple Valley's population:
• How long will current baby boom-
er residents of larger single-fami-
ly houses choose to stay in these homes?
CITY OF APPLE VALLEY 12040 Comprehensive Plan Update
• Will more seniors opt to live
alone, with family, or with peers?
• Will seniors have fewer financial resources?
If so, how does this affect the community?
• Will Apple Valley offer the housing op-
tions, physical characteristics, infrastruc-
ture and services that attract seniors?
Apple
Valley
3-18
These questions frame important elements of
the relationship between land use and the charac-
teristics of the people who live in Apple Valley.
Household Size
After decades of decline, the number of people liv-
ing in each home is leveling off. In 1960, the Cen-
sus reported that average household size in Apple
Valley was 5.27 people. Fifty years later, the average
The average household size has
steadily decreased since the 1960s.
household size was reduced to 2.58 persons. The
current estimate from the 2015 ACS is 2.56. (See
Figure 3.16.) The smaller household size is con-
sistent with societal trends toward smaller families.
Households
A household includes all the people who occupy
a housing unit as their usual place of residence.
Historical data shows that household size has de-
creased each decade for fifty years. The average
household size in Apple Valley is now similar to
the average household size for Dakota Coun-
ty as well as to the rest of the metro. There are
several explanations for this, including simple
regression toward the mean as Apple Valley has
grown; the general aging of Apple Valley's pop-
ulation, which has resulted in more households
without children under the age of 18; and soci-
etal trends toward fewer children. The share of
households with no children under age 18, for
example, increased from 27% to 37% in the last
25 years. This corresponds to a large decrease in
the share of married families with children, which
declined from 48% to 24% from 1990 to 2015.

Apple
Valley
Apple Valley's 2015 population is similar to that of
Dakota County, but less than the region as a whole.
An important factor in understanding race data is
the reporting of the Hispanic population. People
who identify their origin as Spanish, Hispanic, or
Latino are not classified as a separate racial cat-
egory. At the 2000 Census, 912 people were re-
ported as Hispanic or Latino (of any race). The
Racial Diversity is increasing.
2015 ACS estimates that 2,268 people are His-
panic or Latino. This represents 4.5% of the cur-
rent population, and an increase of nearly 150%
in the Hispanic/Latino population from 2000.
Income
Income influences many aspects of community.
Income provides the capacity to acquire housing
and to purchase goods and services from local
businesses. Higher incomes tend to correlate with
better public school systems. Figure 3.XX shows
median household incomes in Apple Valley, Dako-
ta County, and the Twin Cities metro. The values
in Figure 3.XX are reported in nominal terms —
they have not been adjusted for inflation. In 2015
inflation-adjusted dollars, median household in-
come in 2010 was $ 85,412, so real household in-
come has decreased $5,000 in the last five years.
The most important takeaway from the figure is
that household incomes in Apple Valley are con-
sistently higher than county and regional levels.
The distribution of incomes provides ad-
ditional information about the eco-
nomic standing of the community:
3-20
• 37.7% of households earn $100,000 or more.
• 7.1% of households earn $200,000 or more.
• 10.3% of households earn less than $25,000.
Poverty
To estimate the incidence of poverty, the Census
defines a set of income thresholds based on house-
hold characteristics. These thresholds vary by the
size of the household and the age of household
members, and are adjusted yearly for inflation. No
distinction is made for geography and cost of living.
Thus, it is misleading to compare the poverty rates
for areas with significantly different characteristics.
Likewise, it is misleading to isolate one poverty
statistic with no reference to trends over time. In-
stead, it is useful to review historical poverty data
to identify the extent to which poverty is increasing
or decreasing for a given community. It can also be
helpful to compare poverty rates within a region
if there is minimal variance in the cost of living.
Historically, Apple Valley has relatively low lev-
els of poverty, but poverty has increased in re-
cent years. In 2000, 2.1% of the population re-
ported incomes below the poverty level. In 2010,
the poverty rate was 5.2%. The current ACS e'
timate from 2015 shows that 7.5% of the pop-
ulation of Apple Valley is living below the pov-
erty level. This is similar to the poverty rate for
Dakota County (7.7%), but less than the pover-
ty rate for the Twin Cities metro area (10.3%).
Figure 3.19 shows poverty trends over time, in-
cluding the percent of the population below the
poverty level, as well as the as the percentage of
people earning 100-149% percent of the pov-
erty threshold, and the percentage earning 150-
185% of the poverty threshold. From 2010 to

2015, the poverty level increased while the per-
centage individuals earning 100-185% of the
poverty threshold decreased, a general indica-
tion that many individuals who were close to
the poverty level in 2010 have now fallen below.
Wage stagnation is one explanation for this trend.
Educational Attainment
The Census shows that Apple Valley residents are
increasingly well educated. From 1990 to 2015, the
percentage of the population aged 25 or older that

the population aged 25 or older had obtained a
bachelor's degree and another 14.4 percent had
obtained a graduate or professional degree, bring-
ing the total percentage of adults with bache-
lor's degrees and beyond to over 43.7 percent.

Employment
Employment touches many aspects of community
life. Jobs provide the income to pay for housing and
to purchase goods and services. The location of
jobs influences the amount of time that Apple Val-
ley residents are in the community each day. Com-
muting decisions affect transportation systems,
and the work -housing balance impacts local tax
revenue and expenditures. Apple Valley residents
who commute to another jurisdiction for work uti-
lize public services outside Apple Valley through-
out the day, which also contributes to the eco-
nomic vitality of the community where they work.
Industry Employment
The Quarterly Census of Employment and Wag-
es (QCEW) provide quarterly data on employ-
ment by industry for local geographies. Figure
3.21 shows a breakdown of employment by in-
dustry for Apple Valley residents for the second
quarter of 2015. Three industries employ more
than half of the workforce: Retail Trade, Ed-
ucational Services, and Accommodation and
Food Services. Health care, another major in-
dustry, employs 12 percent of the workforce.
Note that the majority of local jobs are fille
by individuals who live outside of Apple Valley.
Figure 3.22 illustrates growth and decline for the 9
industrial sectors. The largest gain is in Health Care
and Social Assistance, which added 344 jobs. Ac-
commodation and Food Services added 255 jobs.
Education lost 422 jobs, after strong growth the
previous decade. This may be the result of a school
district change. In general, Apple Valley's econ-
omy is becoming increasingly service-oriented. .

Plage of Employment
The Census tracks the location of work place for
the population. In 2014, only 11.4% of residents
in Apple Valley reported a place of employment
in Apple Valley; the other 89% of residents com-
muted outside the city. Approximately 37.7% of
Apple Valley residents work in Dakota Coun-
ty, while 39.5% travel to Hennepin County. The

Valley
City of Minneapolis employs a higher of share
of Apple Valley residents than Apple Valley itself.
In 2014, the Census recorded 16,327 jobs in Ap-
ple Valley. Of these, 13,312 (81.5%) were filled by
people living elsewhere, and 3,015 (18.5%) were
filled by the local workforce. Meanwhile, 23,367
workers commuted outside the city for work.
Therefore, Apple Valley is a net exporter of jobs.

This is reflected in its land use patterns, with rel-
atively more residential acreages than commer-
cial and industrial acreages. Workplace location
also affects daily commuting trends, with high
shares of workers commuting by personal vehicle.
Commuting
Travel -to -work data shows a strong dependence
on automobiles. The share of Apple Valley's
workforce that drives alone to work is 81.6%.
The workforce makes limited use of public
transportation, with 4.7% of commuters us-
ing that mode. However, use of public transit
has grown 1.6% since 2000. The percentage of
workers who work from home is increasing, con-
sistent with global trends. The 2015 Census re-
ported a mean commute time of 24.5 minutes.
These commuting patterns are reflective of Apple

Valley's suburban setting in the Twin Cities region.
The decision to live or work in Apple Valley will
continue to be influenced by the cost of travel,
which includes the cost of fuel (dollars/gallon X
mpg) and the cost of travel time, which reduces
worker productivity and/or workers' leisure time.
Over the timeline of this plan, these factors will
be influenced by emerging technologies such as
automated vehicles (AVs) and connected vehicles
(CVs), and changing economic conditions, such as
the scaled transition to renewable energy sources.
3-23
Implications for 2040
The Community Context chapter is more than sim-
ply gauging the existing conditions of Apple Val-
ley and gaining an understanding of various trends
affecting the community. Impactful issues can be
drawn out of the data that will inform plan policies
and strategies. These issues are outlined below.
An Aging Community
The age 70-74 cohort is projected to have the
largest net increase through 2040 of any age
cohort. The population above 65 years is pro-
jected to have significant increases in Ap-
ple Valley as baby boomers continue to age.
Potential Plan Considerations:
• If seniors are to be kept in the community,
housing policies and options will need to be
flexible for their needs.
• Parks and trails are not only important for
younger segments of the population. Public
recreational spaces can be designed to better
accommodate seniors.
• As the population as a whole becomes older,
the demand for health care will only increase.
Future land uses need to provide flexibility to
allow more clinics, medical offices, hospitals,
and related facilities.
Increasing Diversity
Race and ethnicity, as well as the types of households
(e.g. live alone, married with kids, non -family, etc.)
are becoming increasingly diverse in Apple Valley.
Potential Plan Considerations:
• Planning decisions need to be increasingly sen-
sitive to the needs of a diversifying population.
• Park and recreation facilities and community
events will become increasingly important as
areas that bring different races, ethnicities, age
groups, and others together as a community.
• Encourage new development and redevelop-
ment to provide a variety of household types
to better accommodate the changir , popula-
tion.
Place of Employment and Residence
Unbalance
Apple Valley imports its lower -wage work force.
The 4 top employers in Apple Valley by Industry
(Health Care and Social Assistance, Education-
al Services, Accommodation and Food Services,
and Retail Trade), representing over 65% of those
employed in Apple Valley, support average hourly
wages below the metro average. The majority of
these jobs are filled by people living outside of the
city. Conversely, 89% of those who live in Apple
Valley work elsewhere. The relative lack of high
wage job opportunities encourages residents to
commute to other cities for those types of jobs.
Potential Plan Considerations:
• Focus on attracting and accommodating more
development that caters to higher wage jobs,
such as commercial office, business parks, or
industrial parks.
• Reduce in -commuting of the lower wage
workforce by expanding housing options and
other pathways to increasing housing afford-
ability.
CITY OF APPLE VALLEY 12040 Comprehensive Plan Update
Apple
Valley
Growing Challenge to Affordability
The incidence of poverty is increasing. Further,
the majority of those who work in Apple Val-
ley earn less per hour than the metro average.
Potential Plan Considerations:
• Increase the supply and mix of housing types
to allow more opportunities for affordable
rents and mortgages.
• Consider housing proximity to below-average
wage industries in order to retain and grow
this workforce in Apple Valley and support as-
sociated industries.
• Continue and strengthen multimodal infra-
structure: pedestrian, bicycle, and transit op-
tions need to be made increasingly available.
Retail Bubble
The current nationwide retail bubble is a concern,
given the significant amount of retail space currently
available in Apply Valley. Moving forward, new re-
tail development opportunities have the potential to
add additional stress to existing retail development.
Potential Plan Considerations:
• The conventional formula of big box stores
and strip malls with significant retail square
footage is not the only way to provide retail
opportunities. Encourage the diversification
of the city's retail development. Consider in-
creased intensity of retail space, allowing for
smaller square footage retail space to increase
opportunities for small and medium sized
businesses, to reduce the city's reliance on
large chain retailers.
3-24
• For older, or more at -risk big box store and
strip mall locations, provide contingency plans
in the event such locations cannot attract re-
placement retail businesses. Envision what
post -retail uses might fit into targeted loca-
tions.
Limited Opportunities for New
Development
The Fischer Sand and Aggregate Mine
and the downtown village area represent
the last areas with significant opportuni-
ties for new development of significant scale.
Potential Plan Considerations:
• The city must leverage these coveted areas to
provide development that solves issues identi-
fied in the Community Context, primarily in-
cluding development that:
• Attracts a high -wage workforce
• Allows for medical services
• Provides a variety of housing options
• Provides multiple uses at a higher
intensity and density than how the
city has historically developed
• Ensure that these areas are well connected int,
the surrounding urban fabric through careful
development design and the consideration of
multimodal connections.

omm pity C!aracter I don't feel a strong sense of "hometown pride" in Apple Valley. I would like to feel when I
tell people that I live in Apple Valley, that they respond with "I love Apple Valley!!" Instead, I feel like we are known as
just another typical suburb.
