Gackstetter, City Clerk I T E M: 4.E. C O UNC I L ME E T I NG D AT E:December 27, 2018 S E C T I O N:Consent A genda Description: A pprove Updated P urchasing P olicy S taff Contact: Ron Hedberg, Finance Director Department / Division: Finance Department AC T I O N RE Q UE S T E D: Approve the updated Purchasing Policy. S UM M ARY: Staff is recommending updates to the C ity's existing purchasing policy. Over the past year new requirements have been issued for purchases using federal dollars. In addition, the State of Minnesota has made changes to the statutes that relate to the thresholds on when bids and quotes are required. We have also included a section for environmental preferable purchasing guidelines which address requirements to participate in the Greenstep program, of which the City is participating. T he attached updated purchasing policy addresses the procurement requirements of the federal Uniform G rant Guidance regulations, as well as more closely aligning the purchasing thresholds in use by the C ity with State Statute. T he C ity's purchasing policy remains more restrictive than the statutes in many areas. B AC K G RO UND: When the C ity receives federal dollars directly or indirectly, we must have policies in place to meet federal purchasing requirements. For example, currently the C ity is currently receiving federal dollars as a subrecipient from Dakota County for the Greenway C orridor project in that the C ounty is reimbursing the C ity for land purchases with federal dollars. Other examples include the C D BG funds expended on the C D A Housing and the Darts Senior C hores program. In the past the City has received federal grants for hiring Police Officers and more recently the Fire Training O fficer grant. Periodically departments apply for federal grants and if we were to ever be awarded one all these requirements would have to be in place prior to spending grant eligible dollars. As a subrecipient, we need to have policies in place to meet the federal requirements. T he purchasing policy was updated to address the federal procurement requirements. Many of these are also included in State Statutes and the C ity's Public Purpose Expenditure Policy, but have been added to the purchasing policy as well. T hese updates include; prohibition on gifts (2.2), the conflicts of interest section (2.4), the section of the policy for purchases using federal dollars (7.8). In addition, the bidding thresholds were aligned to meet the federal requirements as well as the statutes. T here is one section added that includes participation in rebates and promotional programs, section (2.3). T his section addresses rebates on C ity purchases and are considered a gift from whom the purchase was made and the rebate would remain the property of the City and to be used on future City purchases. One example of this is the 11% rebates on purchases made from Menards that should be turned into the C ity to be used on future purchases. Another example of this would include the credits earned by using a personal credit card to make purchases for city business. T he policy, and statute, consider these to be gifts and everything over an insignificant amount should be turned into the C ity or restricted so they can used on future City purchases. T here were changes made to the thresholds in which quotes and/or bids are required. For purchases up to $3,500, they can be made on the open market and quotes are recommended. Previous policy was at $400. Purchases $3,500 to $10,000 can be made following the receipt of competitive quotes. Previous policy was at $2,000. Purchases $10,000 and above require preapproval from the City Administrator and Finance Director. Previous policy was at $2,000. Unbudgeted purchases $25,000 and above require City C ouncil approval. Professional or service contracts over $25,000 require C ity Council approval. Previous policy was $10,000. Purchases over $175,000 require the sealed bid process. Previous policy was at $100,000 which matched the past statute. In 2018, the statutory limits were raised to $175,000 and the C ity policy is set to match this amount. T he City's policy remains more restrictive than the statutes provide. Statutes require quotes over $25,000 and the C ity policy is $3,500. Statutes were raised for the amount where sealed bids are required. T hat limit is now $175,000 and the C ity policy matches this threshold. T he invoice approval process is managed within the Tungsten electronic accounts payable system. Every invoice is required to have at least two approvals, and for invoices over $400, one of these approvers must be a Department Head (or authorized designee). Invoices over $3,500 also include approvals from the C ity Administrator and Finance Director.

procedures and best practices for obtaining goods and services under existing laws, statues, rules, and regulations in a deliberate, fair, and ethical manner. 1.1 PURPOSE OF THE PURCHASING POLICY • To provide guidelines for City staff to follow with regard to purchasing goods and services. • To provide staff authorized to make purchases with a clear understanding of their roles, responsibilities, objectives, and duties within the framework of the City’s organization. • To ensure expenditures from public funds are made responsibly and follow all applicable standards, Federal laws, state statutes, and local ordinances. • To assure vendors that impartial and equal treatment will be afforded to all who wish to do business with the City. • To receive maximum value for each public dollar spent. • To provide goods or services to the City departments in the most efficient and effective manner possible. • To encourage the use of environmentally preferred purchasing guideline whenever practicable. • To support internal controls. • To maintain appropriate documentation. 2 SECTION II GENERAL GUIDELINES These general guidelines should be adhered to as closely as possible by all departments in the procurement of goods and services. Based on the nature of the purchase, individual departments may use more stringent requirements to further protect the public good. 2.1 PUBLIC PURPOSE EXPENDITURES City employees are responsible for conserving and protecting City resources for the benefit of public interest. As good stewards of public funds, City employees must only use City funds for public purpose expenditures. Further, the expenditures must be authorized in accordance with the City’s annual budgeting process. The Minnesota Public Purpose Doctrine permits a governmental entity to expend public funds only when the primary purpose of the expenditure is public and the expenditure relates to the governmental purposes for which the entity was created. There must also be statutory authority allowing for the expenditure of such funds and there must be a benefit to the community. Proper documentation must be maintained by the City to establish that all expenditures serve a public purpose. 2.2 ETHICS AND ACCEPTANCE OF GIFTS Employees shall not be allowed to take advantage of special pricing offered to the City by vendors to make personal purchases. Employees may not take advantage of government discounts for non-business related purchases. The general rule to be applied is if a discount is not available to a member of the public, the employee should not take advantage of it. Gifts offered by vendors to staff responsible for making purchasing decisions shall not be accepted under any circumstances. 2.3 REBATES AND PROMOTIONAL PROGRAMS All rebates and other similar promotional programs that are offered and/or accrue as a result of City funded purchases are considered gifts and are the property of the City of Apple Valley and may not be credited or used to the benefit of any employee, groups of employees, or private individuals. Minn. Statute 471.895. Monetary awards must be treated as a cash receipt and processed along with the appropriate bank deposit. Purchasing card related rebate/points programs on City-issued purchasing cards, if any, will be tracked within the purchasing card system. Awards whereby credits accrue or are provided to a purchaser for future purchases with a vendor or other retail establishment shall be turned into the Department Head of the City department for which the purchase was made. The Department Head is responsible for ensuring credits and benefits of material amount are appropriately administered and used only toward future purchases of the City. 3 The use of City-issued purchasing cards are encouraged for use when conducting City business and any credits provided on City purchases must be turned into the City or used for future City purchases. If a personal credit card is used to conduct City business any credits/rebates over an insignificant amount must be retained in an account separate from that person’s own personal account to be used only toward future purchases on behalf of the City. The credits or benefits may be used for an individual’s own personal benefit if the person pays the City for their value or if they are of insignificant monetary value. 2.4 CONFLICTS OF INTEREST Per Minn. Stat. 471.87, a City employee authorized to take part in the making of a sale, lease, or contract shall not voluntarily have a personal financial interest in the transaction or personally benefit financially from it, either directly or through an immediate family member. Please review Minn. Stat. 471.88 for limited exceptions to this general prohibition. 2.5 LOCAL BUYING It is the desire of the City to purchase from Apple Valley vendors and Minnesota vendors when cost effective. This can be accomplished by ensuring that local and state vendors who have goods or services available are included in the competitive shopping process that precedes purchases. 2.6 PLANNING Planning for purchases should be done on both a short-term and long-term basis. Small orders and last minute purchases should be minimized thereby increasing the capability of each department to purchase its goods and services in larger quantities in order to obtain the maximum discounts possible. Planning will also cut down on the number of trips required to obtain materials and minimize the amount of clerical and supervisory time spent on documenting purchases. In planning it is critical that you begin the process by accurately estimating the total cost. Failure to follow this step could jeopardize the purchase. There are specified thresholds where different processes and procedures apply. In order to avoid violating these thresholds, if the estimated cost is close to one of the thresholds you should follow the requirements for the higher threshold. 2.7 PERSONAL PURCHASES No individual shall be allowed to make any purchases for personal use through the City, nor are they allowed to order through a City vendor as a City employee to obtain beneficial pricing which is not available to the public at large. 2.8 SALES TAX The City is exempt from state sales on most purchases, except purchases for the golf and liquor operations which are taxable. The City also must pay sales tax on unmarked public safety vehicles. The Finance Department can assist you in determining which purchases are taxable or non-taxable and provide the necessary exemption documents to vendors for non-taxable purchases. 4 2.9 BONDS AND INSURANCE Contractors entering into an agreement with the City in an amount of $ 25,000 or more involving labor, work or repair or construction shall provide evidence of workers compensation insurance and liability insurance coverage in the amount of $ 1,500,000. Contracts over $ 175,000 involving labor, work or repair or construction shall provide payment and performance bonds, contractor’s bonds, Minn. Stat. 574.26. The amount of the contractor’s bond needs to be equal to the contract price. If the contract price increases, for any reason, it shall require additional contractor’s bonds unless the change is considered a small change of 5 percent of the contract price. 2.10 WITHHOLDING AFFIDAVIT (IC134) Before the City makes the final payment to a contractor under a contract requiring the employment of employees for wages (labor), it must make sure the contractor and any subcontractors have complied with withholding tax laws. Contractor and subcontractors need to submit a certified IC134, “Withholding Affidavit for Contractors” to the City before final payment is made. 2.11 CONTRACT FORM The City has standardized contract forms for use when the purchase requires a contract. A contract should be used when there is significant labor involved for installation or on-site construction or where the City retains legal liability. Contracts up to $25,000 shall use the standard form which details the project, cost, payment, termination, and if needed bonding and insurance requirements. Any purchase over $25,000 requiring a contract shall use the City’s standard contract as prepared by the City Attorney’s office which shall detail the project, cost, payment, termination, bonding and insurance requirements. Contracts worth more than $175,000 shall be awarded through the use of sealed bids, solicited by public notice, awarded to the lowest responsible bidder and shall use the standard form or one prepared by the City Attorney’s office with award by the City Council. 2.12 SOLICITATION PROCESS The type of contract needed and the cost of the project or goods will determine the type of solicitation document used. The three most common types of solicitation document: Request for Bid, Request for Proposals, and Request for Quotes. Request for Bids are usually sent out or advertised as such in a competitive bidding process. The specifications are very precise, and essentially make up the final contract. All purchases over $ 175,000 shall be required to use Request for Bids, which shall be submitted for approval to the City Council. All contracts funded by special assessments under Minnesota Statutes, section 429.041, subdivision 1, also have specific publishing requirements. Request for Proposals are usually used for professional services where there is a level of expertise needed to complete a project, and where the Municipal Contracting law does not apply. These documents are generally used as a starting point for negotiating a contract. Approval will be based on the cost of the projects as detailed in section IV. 5 Request for Quotes usually used for purchases up to $175,000 and may not result in a binding agreement. Any purchase between $3,500 and $175,000 shall require obtaining quotes from at least two vendors. There are three main parts to a solicitation document: the introduction, the scope of work or project specifications, and directions to bidders. The document should clearly state the expectations of the City in terms of both the work to be completed and the level of service to be delivered. In addition solicitation documents should include: • A timeline and budget for the project • Qualification information, including references, approach, proposed personnel and their qualifications, equipment and its condition • Special request for information on certain key issues • Reporting and monitoring requirements • Where, when, and how bids/proposals/quotes are to be submitted • Format for bid/proposal/ quotes • Procedures for handling inquiries • Type and amount of any required bid guarantees • The standard of award (e.g., lowest responsible bidder) or, for requests for proposals, evaluation criteria and the scoring process • Anticipated schedule for contract award and notification • Information on payment, audits, termination, dispute resolution, penalties, bonding, and insurance requirements • Status of submitted documents vis-à-vis freedom of information legislation 2.13 COOPERATIVE PURCHASING Cooperative purchasing contracts provide the opportunity for the City to purchase goods and services at reduced costs. When available, the City should take advantage of cooperative purchasing agreements with other entities (e.g., Dakota County, school districts, other cities, etc.). The City of Apple Valley is a member in a number of cooperative purchasing programs. The intranet includes the list of current memberships under Cooperative Purchasing Procedures. For all contracts over $25,000 for the purchase of supplies, materials, or equipment, the City is required by state law to consider the availability, price and quality of supplies, materials, or equipment available through the state’s cooperative purchasing venture before purchasing through another source (Minn. Stat. 471.345, subd. 15). 2.14 CODING The financial business unit and object code to which expenditures are to be charged should be listed on the purchasing documents and included in the Tungsten System when approving transactions.

Contractor and subcontractors need to submit a certified IC-134, “Withholding Affidavit for Contractors” to the City before final payment is made. 4.4 PURCHASES $175,000 AND OVER When the cost is expected to be $175,000 or more, a formal sealed bid is required. City staff members are required by state law to consider the availability, price and quality of supplies, materials, or equipment available through the state’s cooperative purchasing venture before purchasing through another source (Minn. Stat. 471.345, subd. 15). The formal bid process is to be administered by the originating department and requires the following: • A published notice of the bid on the City’s website at least ten (10) days or three (3) weeks if it is a 429 special assessment project totaling over $350,000, in advance of the bid opening. The published notice must state where the plans and specifications can be obtained by bidders and specifically where the bid opening will be held. The notice may also be published in a recognized industry trade journal. • Bid tabulation showing the amount bid by each bidder for each pay item in the contract. • Contract awarded to the lowest responsible bidder using the City’s Standard Contract Form or as prepared by the City Attorney’s office which shall detail the project, cost, payment, termination, bonding and insurance requirements.

Additionally, City Council must grant final approval prior to purchasing. This means the authorized purchaser or Department Head must prepare an agenda item outlining the details of the purchase, funding and recommending approval. Best Value Procurement As an alternative to bids, the City is allowed to use best value procurement, which is a process based on competitive proposals that awards the contract to the vendor or contractor offering the best value, taking into account the specifications of the request for proposals, the price, and performance criteria as set forth in Minn. Stat. 16C.28 subd. 1(b) and described in the solicitation document. Before administering best value procurement procedures, personnel must be trained in the best value RFP process. 4.5 CONTRACT CHANGE ORDERS Any modification (change order) of the contract after work has commenced shall require prior approval. Change orders for contracts not approved by City Council shall require approval by the City Administrator. Change orders for contracts approved by City Council shall require approval by City Council. However, the City Administrator may authorize the project manager to approve a change order without prior Council approval when a delay in making a decision would result in the delay of construction or substantial increase in the cost. The project manager must submit the change order to the Council for approval at the next available meeting. Total change orders cannot exceed 25% of the original contract price. Change orders in excess of 25% of the original value of the contract will be considered separate procurements and will be supported by the appropriate competitive process. 11 SECTION V PURCHASING CARDS (PCARDS) According to Minnesota Statute 471.382, the City Council may authorize the use of a credit card by any City officer or employee otherwise authorized to make a purchase on behalf of the City. The purpose of this policy is to establish criteria for whom may be issued a credit card and the specific use of the credit card.

Benefits of the guidelines include: • Conserving natural resources • Minimizing environmental impacts such as pollution, water usage, and energy waste • Identifying environmentally preferable products and distribution systems • Achieving best practices in environmental purchasi ng as identified through the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's (MPCA) GreenStep Cities Program • Setting an example of environmental sustainability and energy conservation for residents and businesses in the City of Apple Valley • Lower overall costs to the City by addressing full life cycle cost (purchase, operation, maintenance, disposal, staff time, and labor) 6.2 DEFINITIONS Environmentally Preferable Products and Services as defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) means products and services that have a lesser or reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared to competing products and services that serve the same purpose. This applies to raw material acquisition, as well as product manufacturing, distribution, use, maintenance, and disposal. Energy Star means the US EPA’s energy efficiency product labeling program described at http://www.energystar.gov. "Energy Efficient Product" means a product that 1.) meets Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency criteria for use of the Energy Star® trademark label; or, is in the upper 25 percent of efficiency for all similar products as designated by the Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program-http://wwwl.eere.energy.gov. Financially Feasible means a product has lower costs over its entire lifecycle as determined by full cost accounting (purchase, operation, maintenance, disposal, staff time, and labor). Practicable means whenever possible and compatible with state and federal law, without reducing safety, quality, or effectiveness. Post-consumer Recycled Material refers to material that has served its intended use and has been discarded for disposal or recovery, having completed its life as a consumer item, and is used as a raw material for new products. 14 US EPA Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines are the most current policies established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for federal agency purchases- http://www.epa.gov Water-Saving Products are those that are in the upper 25% of water conservation for all similar products, or achieves a Water Sense label/certification. 6.3 ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES All City departments are to be fully aware of the City's guidelines on purchasing environmentally preferable goods and services, and all departments are responsible to: • Ensure that specifications do not discriminate against reusable, recycled, or environmentally preferable products without justification. • Evaluate environmentally preferable products to determine the extent, to which they may be used by the department and its contractors. • Review and revise specifications to maximize the specification of designated environmentally preferable products where practicable. • Facilitate data collection on purchases of designated environmentally preferable products by the department in order to assist in tracking the City's environmentally preferable purchasing efforts. The following guidelines are to be followed by the City of Apple Valley : 6.4 RECYCLED PAPER PRODUCTS Per subdivisions one (1) and two (2) of Minnesota Statute 16C.073 and per the Federal Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) requirements, the City of Apple Valley will endeavor to purchase paper products containing the highest post- consumer content practicable, but no less than minimum recycled content standards established by the EPA Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines: www.epa.gov. 6.5 ENERGY AND WATER SAVINGS • All appliances and products purchased by the City for which the US EPA Energy Star certification is available will meet Energy Star certification provided such products are available and financially feasible (www.energystar.gov). Typically, this would include lighting systems, exhaust fans, water heaters, computers, exit signs, and appliances such as refrigerators, dishwashers, and microwave ovens. When Energy Star labels are not available, appliances and products that are in the upper 25% of energy efficiency as designated by the Federal Energy Management Program shall be considered for purchase. • Water-saving products purchased by the City will meet the Water Sense certification when such products are available and financially feasible (http://www.epa.gov). This includes, but is not limited to, high-performing fixtures such as toilets, waterless urinals, low-flow faucets and aerators, and upgraded irrigation systems. 15 6.6 CLEANING PRODUCTS Cleaning products purchased by the City will meet Green Seal, EcoLogo, and/or U.S. EPA Design for the Environment cleaning product standards if such products are practicable, available, and perform to an acceptable standard. (http://www.greenseal.org, http://www.environmentalchoice.com, and http://www.epa.gov).

While cost is important, the competence and qualifications of a professional services consultant are generally more important in ensuring that the City receives maximum value and effective service from the consultant. If the City Council chooses to utilize a Request for Proposals process, it is recommended that two or more proposals be received. Contracts under $25,000 shall be authorized by the City Administrator. Contracts $25,000 and over shall be authorized by the City Council. Periodically, all on-going professional services agreements should be reviewed and a determination made whether to renew or request new proposals. 7.3 GENERAL PURCHASE REQUISTIONS AND PURCHASE ORDERS For purchases over $10,000 advance approval by the Department Head, Finance Director and City Administrator is required. A purchase requisition shall be prepared and submitted to the Department Head along with any quotes for approval. The purchase requisition is then routed to the Finance Director and City Administrator for advance approval. Once approved a purchase order is prepared and emailed to the requester, a copy is either faxed or emailed to the vendor as indicated on the purchase requisition. Copies of the purchase order and quotes are to be attached in the Tungsten automated accounts payable system. 7.4 STANDING PURCHASE ORDERS – FOR RESALE ITEMS Goods or services purchased for resale by Liquor, Golf, and Recreation that are scheduled to be purchased on a regular basis from one vendor can use a standing purchase order. The requisition must include estimated costs for the period of the PO and must be approved by the City Administrator. A listing of all standing purchase orders shall be approved by the City Council on an annual basis. These standing PO’s can be established with an open- 17 ended amount of time and continue in effect until the City discontinues buying from that vendor. 7.5 STANDING PURCHASE ORDERS – RECURRING (NON RESALE) ITEMS Standing purchase orders can be requested for non-resale items that are purchased multiple times per year and it is deemed to be more efficient for approval to occur at one time. The Purchasing Policy shall apply for the total amount expected to be purchased throughout the period.

Item or service possesses a unique function or capability critical in the use of the item or service and not available from any other sources. The purchase is for equipment associated with use of existing equipment where compatibility is essential for integrity of results. The purchase is for replacement parts needed for repair of existing equipment where compatibility with equipment from the original manufacturer is paramount. The purchase is for accessories sought for enhancement of existing equipment where compatibility with equipment from the original manufacturer is paramount. The purchase is for technical services associated with the assembly, installation, or servicing of equipment of a highly technical or specialized nature. 18 Additional item, service, or work required, but not known to have been needed when the original order was placed with vendor and it is not feasible or practicable to contract separately for the additional need. Documentation must be obtained to verify sole source and kept on file for at least one year. 7.8 UNBUDGETED PURCHASES Unbudgeted purchases under $25,000 must be approved by the City Administrator. Unbudgeted purchases $25,000 and over must be approved by the City Council. In both cases, budget amendments must be processed. 7.9 PURCHASES USING FEDERAL DOLLARS Additional rules apply if purchases are being made with Federal dollars. Please refer to each Federal grant’s specific requirements. Below are a few of the common rules that go above and beyond the rest of the City’s Purchasing Policy: 1. Suspension and Debarment When using Federal dollars, the City is prohibited from contracting with or making sub-awards to parties that are suspended or debarred. Before entering into a contract and before Federal dollars are spent, the City must verify that the entity is not suspended or debarred or otherwise excluded from participating in the transaction. This verification is accomplished by checking the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS) maintained by the General Services Administration (GSA) and available at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM. This website contains the names of parties debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded by agencies, as well as parties declared ineligible under statutory or regulatory authority. A screen shot or print out of the results of your EPLS search need to be kept on file for at least one year following the purchase. 2. When making purchases, where appropriate, an analysis will be made of lease versus purchase alternatives to determine the most economical approach. 3. Bonding Requirements – in addition to payment and performance bonds covering 100% of the contract price, construction contracts over the State Statute limit and Federal simplified acquisition threshold (currently $175,000) also require a bid guarantee (bid bond, certified check, etc.) from each bidder equivalent to five percent of the bid price. 4. Financial Management Requirements A. Financial Management. The City’s financial management systems, including records documenting compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award, must be sufficient to permit the preparation of 19 reports required by general and program-specific terms and conditions; and the tracing of funds to a level of expenditures adequate to establish that such funds have been used according to the federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award. B. Payment. The City may be paid in advance, provided it maintains or demonstrates the willingness to maintain both written procedures that minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds and disbursement between the City and the financial management systems that meet the standards for fund control. Advance payments to a City must be limited to the minimum amounts needed and timed to be in accordance with the actual, immediate cash requirements of the City in carrying out the purpose of the approved program or project. The timing and amount of advance payments must be as close as is administratively feasible to the actual disbursements by the non-federal entity for direct program or project costs and the proportionate share of any allowable indirect costs. The City must make timely payment to contractors in accordance with the contract provisions. C. Internal Controls. The City must establish and maintain effective internal control over the federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the City is managing the federal award in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award. The City must comply with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award. The City must also evaluate and monitor compliance with statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award. The City must also take prompt action when instances of noncompliance are identified, including noncompliance identified in audit findings. The City must take reasonable measures to safeguard protected personally identifiable information considered sensitive consistent with applicable federal and state laws regarding privacy and obligations of confidentiality. 5. Allowable use of Funds and Cost Principles A. Allowable Use of Funds. The City Administration and City Council will enforce appropriate procedures and penalties for program, compliance, and accounting staff responsible for the allocation of federal grant costs based on their allowability and their conformity with federal cost principles to determine the allowability of costs. 20 B. Definitions 1. “Allowable cost” means a cost that complies with all legal requirements that apply to a particular federal education program, including statutes, regulations, guidance, applications, and approved grant awards. 2. “Omni Circular” or “2 C.F.R. Part 200s” or “Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards” means federal cost principles that provide standards for determining whether costs may be charged to federal grants. 3. “Advance payment” means a payment that a federal awarding agency or passthrough entity makes by any appropriate payment mechanism, including a predetermined payment schedule, before the non-federal entity disburses the funds for program purposes. C. Allowable Costs. The following items are examples of costs that may be allowable under the 2 C.F.R. Part 200s under specific conditions: 1. Advisory councils; 2. Audit costs and related services; 3. Bonding costs; 4. Communication costs; 5. Compensation for personal services; 6. Depreciation and use allowances; 7. Employee morale, health, and welfare costs; 8. Equipment and other capital expenditures; 9. Gains and losses on disposition of depreciable property and other capital assets and substantial relocation of federal programs; 10. Insurance and indemnification; 11. Maintenance, operations, and repairs; 12. Materials and supplies costs; 13. Meetings and conferences; 14. Memberships, subscriptions, and professional activity costs; 15. Security costs; 16. Professional service costs; 17. Proposal costs; 18. Publication and printing costs; 19. Rearrangement and alteration costs; 20. Rental costs of building and equipment; 21. Training costs; and 22. Travel costs. D. Costs Forbidden by Federal Law. 2 CFR Part 200s and EDGAR identify certain costs that may never be paid with federal funds. The following list provides examples of such costs. If a cost is on this list, it may not be supported with federal funds. The fact that a cost is not on this list does not mean it is necessarily 21 permissible. Other important restrictions apply to federal funds, such as those items detailed in the 2 CFR Part 200s; thus, the following list is not exhaustive: 1. Advertising and public relations costs (with limited exceptions), including promotional items and memorabilia, models, gifts, and souvenirs; 2. Alcoholic beverages; 3. Bad debts; 4. Contingency provisions (with limited exceptions); 5. Fundraising and investment management costs (with limited exceptions); 6. Donations; 7. Contributions; 8. Entertainment (amusement, diversion, and social activities and any associated costs); 9. Fines and penalties; 10. General government expenses (with limited exceptions pertaining to Indian tribal governments and Councils of Government (COGs)); 11. Goods or services for personal use; 12. Interest, except interest specifically stated in 2 C.F.R. § 200.441 as allowable; 13. Religious use; 14. The acquisition of real property (unless specifically permitted by programmatic statute or regulations, which is very rare in federal education programs); 15. Construction (unless specifically permitted by programmatic statute or regulations, which is very rare in federal education programs); and 16. Tuition charged or fees collected from students applied toward meeting matching, cost sharing, or maintenance of effort requirements of a program. E. Program Allowability 1. Any cost paid with federal funds must be permissible under the federal program that would support the cost. 2. Many federal programs detail specific required and/or allowable uses of funds for that program. Issues such as eligibility, program beneficiaries, caps or restrictions on certain types of program expenses, other program expenses, and other program specific requirements must be considered when performing the programmatic analysis. F. Federal Cost Principles 1. The Omni Circular defines the parameters for the permissible uses of federal funds. While many requirements are contained in the Omni Circular, it includes five core principles that serve as an important guide for effective grant management. These core principles require all costs to be: a. Necessary for the proper and efficient performance or administration of the program. 22 b. Reasonable. An outside observer should clearly understand why a decision to spend money on a specific cost made sense in light of the cost, needs, and requirements of the program. c. Allocable to the federal program that paid for the cost. A program must benefit in proportion to the amount charged to the federal program. Recipients also need to be able to track items or services purchased with federal funds so they can prove they were used for federal program purposes. d. Authorized under state and local rules. All actions carried out with federal funds must be authorized and not prohibited by state and local laws and policies. e. Adequately documented. A recipient must maintain proper documentation so as to provide evidence to monitors, auditors, or other oversight entities of how the funds were spent over the lifecycle of the grant. G. Program Specific Fiscal Rules. The Omni Circular also contains specific rules on selected items of costs. Costs must comply with these rules in order to be paid with federal funds. 1. All federal programs have certain program specific fiscal rules that apply. Determining which rules apply depends on the program; however, rules such as supplement, not supplant, maintenance of effort, comparability, caps on certain uses of funds, etc., have an important impact when analyzing whether a particular cost is permissible. H. Approved Plans, Budgets, and Special Conditions 1. As required by the Omni Circular, all costs must be consistent with approved program plans and budgets. 2. Costs must also be consistent with all terms and conditions of federal awards, including any special conditions imposed on the City’s grants. 3. Monthly budget to actual comparison including each federal award. 23 SECTION VIII INVOICE AND PAYMENT PROCESS 8.1 CENTRALIZED INVOICE PROCESSING The City of Apple Valley uses an automated accounts payable system for processing and tracking invoices. Vendor invoices should be addressed and mailed to: City of Apple Valley Attn: Accounts Payable 7100 147th Street West Apple Valley, MN 55124 or emailed to accountspayable@cityofapplevalley.org. Each invoice will be stamped with the date received and forwarded via Tungsten to the appropriate department. Each authorized purchaser will review and approve all invoices pertaining to their department purchases. 8.2 AUTOMATED ACCOUNTS PAYABLE SYSTEM – TUNGSTEN INVOICE PROCESS 1. Upon receipt of the invoice in the finance department, the invoice will be scanned in to the Tungsten system. Each invoice should be scanned within one day of receipt and the Tungsten System date stamp will serve as the date received and forwarded to the appropriate user in each department. 2. Steps in the approval process: 1) The Tungsten System will send invoice to a responsible party (approver) within each department for “coding” which serves as the first approval step. This person should attach any quotes received, enter the account coding for accounting purposes and a description of the item and select ‘done” to complete that step. 2) Once coding is completed the item will go to the first approver’s supervisor for approval. 3) If the invoice total is $400 or more, the item will then go to the Department Head for their approval. The Department Head reviews the purchase details, the account coding and checks to see that quotes are attached for all items over $3,500. 4) If the invoice total is $3,500 or more the items will flow to the City Administrator and Finance Director for approval in the Tungsten System 5) Once all the required approvals have been obtained the item will receive a final review before it enters the JD Edwards system for payment.

T he 2019 budget proposes to use $10,000 of the fund balance from previous years to help achieve the proposed activities. Ed Kearney met with the C ity C ouncil on December 14, 2017 to discuss initiatives and receive feedback from the C ouncil. One of the concerns raised is finding ways to keep information about businesses updated as much as possible. T he C VB has invested in a digital strategy that uses data from Google to help identify when new businesses are opening in Apple Valley and when businesses are shutting down. T his cutting-edge technology should help keep the site information current. In addition, the C VB is partnering with the C ity in its efforts to celebrate the 50th Anniversary by sponsoring a bus wrap for two months. T he C VB will continue to look for ways to implement the ideas raised by the City. T he 2019 budget projects total expenditures of $99,652.16. T he annual administration expenses is at $18,000. T he remaining funds are for direct marketing activities. T he attached marketing plan prepared by Chamber President Ed Kearney explains in more detail why certain ad campaigns were postponed and the rationale for the proposed 2019 campaigns.

S UM M ARY: In December 2016 C ity staff applied for, and were awarded a Metropolitan C ouncil Transit Oriented Development (TO D) pre-development grant for $35,000. T he grant was intended to study the area around the C edar Ave Red Line 147th street station and required a $8,750 match. T he C ity intended to satisfy the matching funds requirement through a Station Area Planning grant from Dakota County that was evaluated but not awarded. Terms of the Metropolitan Council TO D grant require its use by December 31, 2018. As the City is unable to utilize this grant without matching funds, the action proposed by motion is to authorize release of the TO D grant to Metropolitan Council. B AC K G RO UND: In December 2016 City staff applied for the TO D pre-development grant to study housing, architectural design, place-making, and stormwater amenities in the "super block" area of Wings Financial, Bogarts, and the C ommons buildings. A plan was developed by some of the area property owners. T he study would help determine the best uses for redevelopment in these areas, and how the existing stormwater ponds could be improved and utilized as overall site amenities. Principles identified at 147th Street, with additional C ounty funding, could have been applied to the broader scope of TO D potential on the greater downtown C edar corridor segments. Ultimately market conditions changed and new owners purchased some of the buildings and invested in their renovation and rehabilitation, lessening the need for the study. B UD G E T I M PAC T: As grant funds were not utilized there is no impact to the budget. I T E M: 4.I .

S UM M ARY: Attached for C ity C ouncil consideration is a resolution restricting parking along a portion of Granite Avenue, south of 140th Street West. T his request is based on a concern that was brought before the City’s Traffic Safety Advisory Committee (T S A C ) last month. T SA C recommended the parking restrictions be implemented. Specifically, the area where parking is proposed to be restricted is: along the west side of Granite Avenue from 140th Street West to a point 490-feet to the south. B AC K G RO UND: At the November 14, 2018, T S A C meeting, the Committee reviewed citizen complaints from residents of the Summerhill C ooperative concerning parking on the west side of Granite Avenue. T he concerns about parking centered on the issue of cars parked along the west side of Granite Avenue obscuring the visibility of motorists leaving the Summerhill site. As cars stop at either of the driveway exits from Summerhill and motorists look to the north for on- coming traffic along Granite, their vision is obscured when cars are parked along the west side. Granite Avenue in this area is on a curve which also contributes to the reduced visibility. C ity staff reviewed this issue and found that there is reduced sight visibility along Granite Avenue when cars are parked along the west side. B UD G E T I M PAC T: Minor costs for staff time and materials necessary to install the additional signage.

S UM M ARY: Attached for consideration is Change Order No. 1 that addresses the changes to the construction documents. A brief description of the change order is as follows: Part A was an owner directed change to include an additional yard hydrant in the Southeast corner of the cemetery site. T he additional location will allow for a more efficient irrigation connection in the future, as well as an additional water source for patrons using the property. Protective bollards were added in front of all yard hydrant locations within the cemetery property. T his work was requested by the C ity and completed by McNamara in advance of the event for a quoted and approved cost of $18,932.00. Part B was for labor and materials needed to modify the existing city owned and maintained lighting fixtures and add additional lighting fixtures within the cemetery property due to construction of new roadways. Four (4) existing lighting fixtures were converted to LED to match the three (3) new lighting fixtures. Associated conduit, hand holes, metering and wiring are included in the pricing. T his work was requested by the C ity and completed by McNamara in advance of the event for a quoted and approved cost of $53,900.00. T his portion of the change order will be funded via electric franchise fee. Part C was an owner directed change to include additional 2-inch conduit installed behind the new curb and gutter sections throughout the cemetery property to accommodate a future security camera system to be installed at a later date. T his work was completed for a quoted and approved cost of $17,528.75. Part D was for including the construction of a single concrete footing for the future decorative fence that was required to be installed with the roadway work in order to prevent 2019 budgeted work from having to remove and replace the new roadway section. T he column footing is located in the center median of the new access driveway off of Embry Path. T his additional scope of work will result in a decrease in the required scope to the 2019 decorative fence project. T his work was completed in October 2018 at the request of the Engineer and the City for a quoted and approved cost of $7,900.00. B AC K G RO UND: On J une 14, 2018, the City Council awarded a construction contract to McNamara Contracting, Inc., in the amount of $373,990.60 for Project 2018-110, Lebanon C emetery Roadway and Infrastructure Improvements.

S UM M ARY: Attached for consideration is Change Order No. 1 that addresses the Owner requested changes to the construction documents. A brief description of the change order is as follows: Part 1 - Miscellaneous Quantity C hanges Miscellaneous quantity differences for the project – these increases or decreases in project quantities were based on work completed in the field to address issues found during normal project work (such as grading work of eastbound right turn lane to address pavement slope issues, additional pavement removal and replacement on all four corners of the intersection to address A D A concerns and provide a good finished product on each corner, and other items completed during construction) – total cost of $56,177.95. Part 2 - State Aid Submitted Change Orders Item 1 was required in order to have a new traffic signal mast arm pole street light extension be provided and installed for the northeast corner of the intersection. During construction and utility coordination, we learned there will be clearance issues with the existing street light extension on this corner for the relocated traffic signal mast arm pole and existing overhead power lines. T he clearance issue required the existing 30-foot tall street light extension be replaced with a 25-foot tall street light extension so this extension is at least 3-5 feet below the existing overhead power lines. It was originally thought that the existing street light extension would fit under the power lines, but construction elevations to meet A D A requirements were such that this extension would no longer fit under the power lines. We requested a price quote from the Contractor (McNamara C ontracting and their electrical subcontractor, Collins Electric), and their price quote of $3,452.46 was deemed reasonable and acceptable by the Engineer and the C ity of Apple Valley. T hus, we directed the Contractor to order these materials given there is a long lead time for fabrication and delivery.

The Contract provides for, among other things , construction of one (1) Revise Signal System , Turn Lane Construction , ·and Pedestrian Curb Ram·p lmprovemerits, atthe - intersection of 140th Street West and Ga laxie Avenue. In order to accommodate relocation of traffic signal mast arm poles on the NE and SW corners of the intersection , controller cabinet removal and replacement, traffic signal cable removal and replacement , and extension of existing conduits into new hand holes, the Contractor requested and received permission to de-energize the signal system for the week of September 10 -'.-14, 2(:)18 and have an all:.;way· Stop condition used·for traffic control. Given the significant amount of traffic present on each leg of the intersection , the City required that additional traffic control devices (portable changeable message signs) be furnished, installed, maintained , and removed at 5 area locations three days in advance of the proposed signal de-energization until the signal system was able to be made fully operational. These locations included two on southbound CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue) near CSAH 38 and also in advance of 140th Street, two on northbound CSAH 23 south of 147th Street and also in advance of 140th Street, and one on eastbound 140th Street in advance of Galaxie Avenue. These locations were chosen by the City due to heavy peak hour traffic volumes on eastbound 140th Street that were expected to back up past the CSAH 23 intersection and the desire to alert area traffic to use alternate routes while the signal system was not in operation. Portable changeable message signs were not specifically called out in the plans or special provisions and thus the furnishing and installing of these devices is considered an extra service. A price quote of $110 per sign per calendar day was quoted by the Contractor in order to install, set up , maintain, and remove these signs for a total of 8 calendar days (from September 6 through September 13 , 2018). The signal system was able to be made operational on September 13, 2018 and the portable changeable message signs were removed late in the day on September 13 , 2018. Overall , a price quote of $4;400.00 ($550 per unit day for 8 calendar days ' use of 5 portable changeable message signs, plus allowable Contractor mark-up) for furnishing all labor and materials along with all required traffic control needed to accommodate the work was received by the Engineer from the Contractor on October 22, 2018. This price quote was accepted by the Engineer and the City of Apple Valley on October 26, 2018. Pa ge 1 of 2 · ffl STATE AID FOR LOCAL TRANSPORTATION ,;~.•,'::,~~.~-CHANGE ORDER Rev.

Hold public hearing to consider vacation of 2,600 sq. ft. portion of Pennock Lane right- of-way adjacent to Lot 1, Block 1, Apple Valley Square 2nd Addition. 2. Adopt resolution denying request for vacation of right-of-way. S UM M ARY: T he petitioners, Hy-Vee, Inc., and the property owner, J ava C apital Partners, request consideration of a vacation of a portion of the Pennock Lane right-of-way abutting the parcel located at 7668 - 150th Street W. on the southeast corner of Pennock Lane and Dakota County State A id Highway No. 42 (C SA H 42/150th Street W.). Hy-Vee, Inc. has submitted an application for land use actions that would allow them to redevelop the former Liberty Credit building site for a convenience store with motor fuel sales. T he petitioners would like to acquire approximately 2,600 sq. ft. of right-of-way that is no longer being used for the Pennock Lane roadbed. A public hearing to consider the overall redevelopment project to construct a 4,400 sq. ft. convenience store with gasoline sales was held at the December 5, 2018, Planning C ommission meeting. T he Planning C ommission is scheduled to review the item again in J anuary. When considering a vacation request, the C ity must determine whether it is in the public interest to vacate the easement or right-of-way. T he City Engineer, Brandon Anderson, is analyzing expected future needs for street improvements in the area. He states that some of the Pennock Lane right-of-way may be excess and could be vacated, but at this time, he would not support a vacation of the full 2,582 sq. ft. portion of RO W currently depicted on the plat drawing. He has determined that the intersection of C SA H 42 and Pennock Lane will need to be widened in the near future, likely requiring duel left turn lanes on the north and south sides of Pennock Avenue/Lane. T his configuration is expected to require the use of most of the right-of-way currently outside of the Pennock Lane roadbed. T he City Engineer's memo is attached. B AC K G RO UND: History of P ennock Lane Alignment A review of the history of Pennock Lane indicates that Pennock Lane was moved west in 1975 and then realigned in 1992. In 1975, the C ity acquired an easement from Grace Lutheran C hurch, 7800 - 150th Street W., to shift the location of Pennock Lane on the south side of 150th Street 83' to the west to align with Pennock Ave on the north. Following that, in 1992, the City acquired additional easements from Grace Lutheran C hurch to provide a straighter street alignment approaching the intersection. Both times Grace Lutheran received compensation for the land that was acquired by the City. Utility Company Responses Utility companies have been notified of the public hearing and to date, the C ity has received correspondence from CenterPoint Energy and Dakota Electric. CenterPoint Energy stated they had no objection to the vacation request. Dakota Electric, on the other hand, states that they have primary cable, secondary cable and related equipment within the right-of-way area. Dakota Electric, at this time, requests denial of the vacation request unless suitable easements or relocation costs can be obtained to ensure uninterrupted service to the area. Utility company correspondence is attached.

Dakota County GIS PENNOCK LANE VACATION REQUEST μ LOCATION MAP ^ CITY OF MEMO Public Works TO: Kathy Bodmer, Planner FROM: Brandon S. Anderson, PE, City Engineer DATE: December 18, 2018 SUBJECT: Request for Right of Way Vacation Hy-Vee at Pennock Center (7668 150th Street West). It is not recommended by Staff to vacate the existing right of way as proposed. It is anticipated that the Pennock Lane and 150th Street (CR 42) intersection will need additional turn lanes and right of way to address traffic concerns both north and south of 150th Street (CR 42) along Pennock Avenue by year 2040. Any future redevelopment of the Apple Valley Square site would require that the existing full access driveway entrance to Pennock be relocated further south to accommodate the need for additional turn lanes. The existing driveway entrance from the Apple Valley Square site would need to be evaluated further to be converted to a Right-in Right out (RIRO) access only. See attached memo from Bolton & Menk regarding the Traffic Study Review and Future Forecast Analysis. The Right-of-Way Needs figure attached was based on Dakota County GIS property lines and aerial photography, so in the future we’ll have to do more detailed survey to determine the specific dimensions for right-of-way acquisition and turn back needs. H:\APVA\_General\2018\Hy-Vee Fast and Fresh Traffic Review\2018-12-12_Hy-Vee Fast and Fresh Traffic Forecast Review.docx MEMORANDUM Date: December 12, 2018 To: City of Apple Valley, MN From: Bryan T. Nemeth, P.E., PTOE Michael Boex, P.E. Subject: Traffic Study Review – Future Forecasts Analysis Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh Apple Valley, MN I hereby certify that this report was prepared by me or under my direct supervision and that I am a duly Registered Professional Engineer under the laws of the State of Minnesota. 43354 December 12, 2018 Bryan T. Nemeth, P.E., PTOE Reg. No. Date Introduction The Traffic Impact Study (TIS) for Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh (Oct 4, 2018), Apple Valley Hy-Vee C-Store – Review of 75th Percentile Queue Lengths (Oct. 29, 2018), the Hy-Vee Apple Valley C-Store Preliminary Civil Plans (18-11-07 City Submittal) and the PM Dual Lanes Analysis and Queue Comparison figure (Dec 4, 2018) were reviewed to determine if and how the development impacts the traveling public. The review submitted on December 5, 2018 noted that the studies did not consider any traffic growth beyond Opening Year (2020) and recommended that space for dual left turn lanes be provided on Pennock Lane at CSAH 42. This analysis provides the future forecasts analysis beyond 2020 and identifies the needed future mitigation along Pennock Lane. Future Forecasts 2030 traffic forecasts for CSAH 42 were obtained from Dakota County. Due to changes in the 2040 forecasts on a region wide basis, the forecasts for 2030 are assumed to be equivalent to the 2040 forecasts. These volumes result in an annual growth rate of 1.5%. Based on the historical traffic trends and review of the City of Apple Valley 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the annual traffic growth rate along Pennock Lane is anticipated to be around 0.5%. This is lower than the growth rate from the 2030 City Comprehensive Plan due the anticipated growth patterns and to account for the empty Rainbow Foods property. ITE Trip Generation was completed for the empty Rainbow Foods property to account for that traffic in the area assuming the property is occupied. 2040 traffic forecasts are provided on the attached map. Name: Traffic Impact Study Future Forecasts Analysis: Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh Date: December 12, 2018 Page: 2 Public Roadway System Impacts Traffic analysis was completed to determine the impact of the 2040 traffic growth to the roadway system, specifically Pennock Lane. Results indicate an overall acceptable service level but unacceptable service levels for all northbound and southbound movements and failing service levels for the northbound left, southbound thru and westbound left. Additionally, the northbound queue extends past Driveway A at 284 feet. Due to this queue, the westbound queue on Driveway A extends 362 feet, drastically impacting the access into and out of the driveways at the Hy-Vee Fast and Fresh location. Mitigation Mitigation considers two options: 1. Extend the northbound left turn lane at Pennock Lane and CSAH 42 2. Modify the north approach with dual left turn lanes at Pennock Lane and CSAH 42 Both options will necessitate that a median be constructed along Pennock Lane and the southbound left turns into Driveway A be relocated to a new access point to the south. The new access point will include a dedicated southbound left turn lane. Option 1: Extended left turn lane Based on the analysis, a left turn lane of 420 to 490 feet would be necessary to handle all of the traffic coming toward CSAH 42 from the south. Overall service level would remain acceptable with the same unacceptable and failing movements as the single left turn lane as it is today. A turn lane over 420 feet would extend the turn lane with taper past Grace Lutheran Church, which would result in the new access being pushed further to the south and no southbound left turn lane into the new access. Option 2: Dual left turn lanes Based on the analysis, dual left turn lanes would provide improved service levels. The northbound right and southbound right improve to LOS D, while the northbound left, southbound left and eastbound left improve to LOS E. Dual left turn lanes to be 190 feet, matching the current length. This enables a new access to be aligned with the Grace Lutheran Church access and a southbound left turn lane to be provided. Recommendations Based on the analysis, the following recommendations are proposed for the future needs along Pennock Lane. 1. Maintain and expand the right-of-way along Pennock Lane at CSAH 42 for potential expansion of the northbound and southbound approaches to include the dual left turn lanes. Figure attached showing the dual left turn lane configuration. Due to the location of Grace Lutheran Church building, most of the expansion will have to be to the east. 2. Plan for a median along Pennock Lane. Driveway A to be revised to a right-in/right-out as traffic increases and the median is constructed. A new full movement access across from Grace Lutheran Church should be considered. This access to include a southbound left turn lane.

Adopt resolution vacating a driveway access easement on Lot 1, Block 1, Levine Subdivision No. 2. S UM M ARY: T he petitioners, Interstate D evelopment Partners, LLC, and the property owner, Time Square Shopping Center II LLP, request consideration of a vacation of a portion of a driveway access easement from G lenda Drive to Granada Ave. Interstate Development has submitted an application for land use actions that would allow them to redevelop the southern portion of the Time Square site with the demolition of 14,500 sq. ft of the existing structure, retention of 9,700 sq. ft. of the western portion of the building, and construction of a 8,300 sq. ft. C lass III restaurant for Portillo's. A public hearing to consider the overall redevelopment project on the Time Square property and a conditional use permit for a drive-through for Portillo's was held at the December 19, 2018, Planning C ommission meeting. T he Planning C ommission will take action on the item following the City C ouncil review of the vacation request. When considering a vacation request, the C ity must determine whether it is in the public interest to vacate the easement or right-of-way. In this case, the driveway access easement was granted to the C ity to allow vehicular access from Glenda Drive to Granada Ave across the Time Square and McDonalds sites to ensure access to the former location of the City liquor store, where Westwood Sports is located currently. Recommended Action: 1. Hold public hearing to consider vacation of a driveway access easement on Lot 1, Block 1, Levine Subdivision No. 2. a/k/a as Time Square (7525 148th Street W.). 2. Adopt resolution vacating a driveway access easement on Lot 1, Block 1, Levine Subdivision No. 2. B AC K G RO UND: History of Driv eway Access Easement As previously stated, the easement was to provide the public with access across the Time Square site to Granada Ave, allowing the public to get to the former City liquor store. T he alignment of the access is no longer in use, and has conflicts with several landscape islands, curbing, and the McDonald's drive-through. At the advice of the C ity Attorney, the City is not able to request realignment as part of this application and should determine the use of this easement solely on whether there is still a public need for this alignment. T he resolution attached makes the finding that the easement is no longer needed. T he action by the C ity C ouncil will vacate the easement on the Time Square property. However, when the applicant originally applied for the vacation of the easement they only included the legal description of the easement on the Time Square lot, as they are not purchasing the McDonald's lot. A remnant portion of the easement will still be left on the McDonald's lot. Staff recommends taking action on the vacation of the portion on the Time Square lot with the review of the overall site redevelopment, and if approved bringing the final portion of the vacation on the McDonald's lot forward at a later date. T his allows the applicant to maintain their project schedule. As this is not a utility easement, utility companies do not need to be notified. T he easement did not grant the C ity access for utilities, only vehicular access from Glenda D rive to Granada Ave. B UD G E T I M PAC T: N/A AT TAC HM E NT S : Area Map Preliminary P lat Survey Background Material Resolution Notice Presentation Time Square Shopping CenterDriveway EasementApproximate Location µ^ 1 4 9 T H S T W CEDAR AVEGLENDA DR148TH ST W GRANADA AVEDriveway Easement Location CITY OF APPLE VALLEY RESOLUTION NO. 2018 -___ A RESOLUTION VACATING PUBLIC GROUNDS WHEREAS, pursuant to the requirements of Minnesota Statutes Chapter 412.851, the City Council of Apple Valley held a public hearing on December 27, 2018, with respect to the vacation of certain public grounds described in the attached Exhibit A: Notice of Completion of Public Grounds; and WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the City of Apple Valley and the public to vacate certain driveway access easements as such grounds are no longer needed to serve a public purpose.

S UM M ARY: All cities and counties within the seven-county Twin C ities Metropolitan Region are required to update their comprehensive plan every ten years. As required by the Minnesota Metropolitan Land Planning Act, each local jurisdiction's plan must fit within the regional goals set forth by the Metropolitan C ouncil. T he C ouncil has established their regional goals in T hrive 2040, which is the vision for the region over the next 30 years. T hrive 2040 sets the policy foundations for systems and policy plans developed by the C ouncil, which include transportation, water resources, regional parks, and housing policy plans. Upon completion of these policy plans, the Council prepares and distributes a system statement to each community and county in the region. T his document addresses the implications of the metropolitan systems plans for each community in the region and are intended to help in the preparation or update of their comprehensive plan. Included in the statement is information specific to each community, which in our case included: Our City's designation as "Suburban", which are communities that experienced growth and expansion in the 1980s and early 1990s and typically have auto-oriented development patterns at lower densities. Suburban communities are expected to plan for forecasted population and household growth at average densities of at least 5 units per acre for new development and redevelopment. T hey are also expected to identify opportunities for more intensive development near regional transit investments. Forecasted population, households, and employment through 2040, which the C ouncil has determined to be: 2010 2014 2020 2030 2040 P opulation 49,084 50,330 55,500 59,200 63,600 Households 18,875 19,341 21,700 23,300 24,900 E mployment 14,279 15,479 15,800 16,400 17,100 Guidance on appropriate densities to ensure that regional services and infrastructure can be provided in an efficient manner. T he C ity's affordable need allocation, which is 468 new units by 2040 that are affordable to households earning up to 80% of area median income (A MI). O f these units 221 should be affordable to households earning at or below 30% of A MI, 118 affordable to households earning 31% to 50% of A MI, and 129 affordable to households earning 51% to 80% of A MI. Each plan is required to contain a land use, transportation, water resources (water supply, water quality, and wastewater), parks and trails, and housing chapter. T he Apple Valley Plan includes all these chapters as well as a vision and economic development chapter. T he Plan also identifies goals and actions to ensure ongoing sustainability and resiliency of the community, which are located throughout the appropriate chapters. On May 24, 2018, the C ity C ouncil authorized distribution of the draft Plan to adjacent communities, Dakota C ounty, Independent School Districts 191 and 196, Black Dog and Vermillion Watershed Districts, MnD O T, and our Metropolitan C ouncil sector representative. T he Plan was sent to these entities on May 31, 2018, for their 6-month review. Attached are the comments received from those entities. A public hearing to receive public comments on the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan was held by the Planning C ommission on J une 6, 2018. T he C ommission received comments and the hearing was closed. Upon approval by the C ity C ouncil for submission, staff will forward the Plan to the Metropolitan C ouncil for their review. T he Metropolitan C ouncil will have 15 business days to review the Plan for completeness. If they find our Plan to be incomplete for review, a letter to will be sent that will identify any needed items, and review of the plan will be suspended until they receive the requested supplemental information . If the Plan is found to be complete for review, they will have 120 calendar days (from the day they initially received the Plan) to complete their review and to take final action. Once the Metropolitan C ouncil makes its determination, a letter will be sent explaining their action and the steps. Upon receipt of the Metropolitan C ouncil's letter, the final draft Plan will be reviewed by the Planning C ommission and a recommendation will be made by the Commission to the City Council. T he City C ouncil will then be asked to make a final decision on the adoption of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update. B AC K G RO UND: As previously noted, the C ity is required to update the C omprehensive Plan every ten years, which looks out 20 years. T he primary focus of the 2040 Plan Update has been on updating facts and figures as the majority of the goals and policies set forth in the 2030 Plan remain relevant. T he SRF C onsulting Group was retained to be the lead consultant and has been responsible for the preparation of the required land use, housing, and transportation chapters; and the vision and community context chapters. Separate consultants were retained to prepare the water resources and parks chapters and the active living elements of the 2030 Plan. T he Planning Commission, acting as the steering committee for the project, met with the consultants on seven occasions in 2017-18 to review and provide input on the Plan's chapters. T he consultant also attended the 2017 Home and Garden Expo, conducted an online survey, and met with several stakeholders such as D A RT S, School District 196, Dakota County Community Development Agency, Apple Valley C hamber of C ommerce, the Dakota C ounty Transportation Division, and the Alliance for Sustainability. Other outreach efforts included C ity staff attending this year's Home and G arden Expo and having C omp Plan information available for review by the attendees. And finally, open houses were held on A pril 30 and May 7 at the City C ouncil chambers where the public had an opportunity to review and discuss with staff the proposed update. T he draft chapters have also been available for review on the City's website.

Gackstetter, City Clerk CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 1-1Introduction 1. Introduction The Comprehensive Plan is a tool for guiding the growth, continued development and improvement of Apple Valley. The traditional view of the Comprehensive Plan focuses on land use. The Land Use Plan describes the use of property within Apple Valley. It reinforces desirable land use patterns, identifies places where change is needed and sets the form and location of land for future growth. The vision for Apple Valley is more, however, than a rational pattern of develop- ment. The Comprehensive Plan has far broader implications for shaping the character of the community and the quality of life in Apple Valley. • The Plan seeks to create and sustain the elements that define the character, heritage and identity of Apple Valley • The Plan influences the economic health of the commu- nity. The Plan seeks to attract new investment and guide it to proper locations in the community. • The Plan protects the investment in existing properties by promoting strong residential neighborhoods and busi- ness districts. • The Plan shapes the future of municipal government. Public improvements are needed to facilitate and sus- tain development. The form of development influences the character of the local population and the demand for public services. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 1-2Introduction The Comprehensive Plan consists of a series of interrelated chapters. These chapters work collec- tively to create a plan for the future. These chap- ters include: 1. Introduction - framework and guide for use of the Comprehensive Plan. 2. Vision for Apple Valley - description of the “keys” to the future for Apple Valley that serve as the framework for the creation and use of this Plan. 3. Community Context - physical, economic and social factors that influenced the process of updating the Comprehensive Plan. 4. Land Use - goals, policies and plans to guide the use of land in Apple Valley. 5. Housing and Neighborhoods - public plans and programs to meet the housing needs of Apple Valley residents. 6. Economic Development - public objectives and strategies to sustain a healthy local econ- omy, including expansion of the tax base and the creation of jobs. 7. Parks and Recreation - plans and programs to maintain and enhance Apple Valley’s system of parks, trails, recreational facilities and open space. 8. Transportation - summary of Transportation Plan for Apple Valley. 9. Water Resources - summary of Apple Valley’s plans for Sanitary Sewer, Water Supply and Surface Water Management Plan. 10. Implementation - tools and strategies that Ap- ple Valley will use to implement the plans and achieve the vision contained in the Compre- hensive Plan. Apple Valley’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan was prepared in accordance with the Metropolitan Land Planning Act (Minnesota Statutes, sections 473.851 through 473.871) and the policies of the Metropolitan Council. The Comprehensive Plan conforms to the Metropolitan Council’s “system statement” for Apple Valley dated September 17, 2015. Previous Planning The 2040 Comprehensive Plan update is part of an ongoing process of community planning in Ap- ple Valley. Land use management predates the in- corporation of Apple Valley in 1974. The Lebanon Town Board adopted the first zoning ordinance in 1954, and formed the initial Planning Commission in 1962. The first comprehensive plan was pre- pared in 1972 and used a “new town” concept of seven residential neighborhoods supported by vil- lage centers and the downtown area. The 1979 Plan responded to the requirements of the 1976 Metropolitan Land Planning Act. The 1979 land use plan was originally established as a flexible guide oriented towards a pattern of devel- opment that emphasized the downtown area. How- ever, through the amendment process, numerous land use designations were created (especially in the business and institutional categories) that tended to defeat the emphasis on flexibility. The 1979 Plan was quite specific in defining the types of business planned for each parcel. The specific- ity of the approach took on a regulatory approach rather than a planning approach. The next major update of the Comprehensive Plan occurred twenty years later. The 2020 Com- prehensive Plan update was adopted in January 2000. The 2020 Plan served as the development guide for Apple Valley since up until 2009, when the current 2030 Comprehensive Plan was adopt- ed. 2040 Update The 2040 update of Apple Valley’s Comprehensive Plan is driven by the statutory requirements of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act. The Act requires the City to update the Comprehensive Plan to bring it into conformance with regional plans with- in three years of receiving its system statement. In March 2017, the City retained the SRF Consult- ing Group to assist with the comprehensive plan update. The kick-off to planning process began in April 2017 at the city’s Home and Garden Expo. The draft of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan was distributed to adjacent cities, Dakota County, Inde- pendent School Districts 191 and 196; and state agencies, including the Metropolitan Council, for their six-month review on May 30, 2018. A public hearing was conducted by the Planning Commis- sion on June 6, 2018. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 1-3Introduction The process of preparing the 2040 Comprehen- sive Plan update included the following elements: • The Planning Commission served as the steering committee for the process of updat- ing the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission held workshops and discussed to review work of the consultants and to guide the preparation of the Plan. • The City Council conducted a joint City Coun- cil and Planning Commission informal work session and as well as additional informal work sessions to review and comment on key points in the update process. • Two community open house meetings were held to inform the public about the compre- hensive plan update and to receive feedback at key points in the process. • A separate Comprehensive Plan Update page was established as part of the City’s website to communicate news and information about the planning process. 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update City Council • Mary Hamann-Roland (Mayor) • John Bergman • Tom Goodwin • Ruth Grendahl • Clint Hooppaw Planning Commission • Thomas O.

CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 2-1Vision for Apple Valley 2. Vision for Apple Valley This Vision Statement identifies leading priorities and principals. desired for the City of Apple Valley, through 2040. The Comprehensive Plan is the blueprint to achieve this vision. The Vision Statement describes the Apple Valley of today and the community’s aspirations for tomorrow. In times of change or conflict, the Vision Statement serves as a compass, a centering point. Not all aspects of this vision statement pertain directly to the Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, the City government cannot be the sole stewards responsible for achieving this vision. As a shared vision for Apple Valley, all residents and businesses can take pride in their community and the contributions they make. The vision for the future of Apple Valley is described as a series of keys. These guiding principles work together to sustain and enhance valued aspects of the community. Applying these keys will open opportunities for future prosperity. The numbers associated with each key serve as a means of identification and emphasis and not as a ranking of priority or importance. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 2-2Vision for Apple Valley Key 1 - Service City government provides the services, infrastructure, and land use controls that touch every aspect of this vision. While City government is not solely responsible for the vision, the vision cannot be realized without its leader- ship and stewardship. Quality leadership and excellent staff should be continued hallmarks of Apple Valley. City government should be responsive to community needs, holding firmly to community standards while retaining the flexibility to seize opportunities that arise. The City is a partner with business and industry. City government sets high standards for its financial stewardship, making investments that pay dividends in terms of the quality of life described in the Vision Statement. The quality of City government ultimately lies in the hands of our residents. We must care enough to become informed and involved. Governance in Apple Valley encourages and facilitates public involvement. Key 2 – A Great Place to Live Apple Valley is a great place to live. We build neighbor- hoods of enduring quality and character. They are active, healthy, and safe places. Tree-lined, well-maintained streets increase the beauty and comfort of our neighbor- hoods. The places we live are well-connected to parks, schools, shopping, and employment by a supportive, multi-modal transportation system. Apple Valley offers choices in housing that allow people in all stages of their life to make a home in our community. Apple Valley is an affordable place to live. We encourage residents to be connected with one another and engaged in communi- ty life with a commitment to volunteerism. We promote pride in property that produces individual and collective action to enhance the quality, integrity, and value of our neighborhoods. We are committed to protecting the unique qualities which make Apple Valley a great place to live for current residents and future generations. Key 3 – Business Oriented Apple Valley is a magnet for businesses. We provide an excellent location, strong regional transportation connec- tions, a skilled workforce, and a strong marketplace. We work with the Chamber of Commerce and other business organizations to actively attract and retain businesses to achieve the vision of Apple Valley, while remaining com- mitted to our traditional high standards of quality. We seek an expanding array of jobs, goods, services, and en- tertainment that meet the needs of our residents. We en- courage businesses and their employees to play an active role in community life. We play an active role in the region to ensure that current and future transportation systems, housing stock, and amenities continue to provide Apple Valley residents with access, choice, and flexibility to pur- sue rewarding work. Economic development strategies are geared toward enhancing and sustaining live-work balance and attract- ing and retaining employers that pay living wages. Apple Valley has available land for development and redevelop- ment, a talented workforce, and the technological infra- structure to accomplish these goals. When more people live and work in Apple Valley, it reduces travel costs and air pollution, and mitigates highway congestion, resulting in savings to families and government. It gives people more time to spend with family and in the community. The City of Apple Valley emphasizes the importance of providing jobs that pay incomes capable of sustaining those families and their community. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 2-3Vision for Apple Valley Key 4 – Safe Apple Valley maintains a strong commitment to safety in all places, at every hour of the day. Through excellent police, fire, and medical response services, our citizens feel safe knowing that help is only minutes away. We are committed to maintaining high service standards by add- ing resources as the community grows and changes. The commitment to safety requires involvement on the part of our residents. Apple Valley is a place where we care for our neighbors. Key 5 – Parks to Experience Parks are an integral part of the fabric of our community. Every home has walkable access to a city park. Parks pro- vide places for us to play and to gather with our neighbors. Parks help to preserve the natural environment of Apple Valley. Apple Valley’s parks are not seen as individual enti- ties, but as part of a broader, inter-connected system that provides a suite of attractions and amenities. Highlights of this system include the Minnesota Zoo, Dakota County, Lebanon Hills Regional Park and our many local neigh- borhood parks. The City provides and maintains a wide range of parks and recreational facilities with the ability to adapt to the changing needs of the population. We are committed to providing the resources to maintain and im- prove Apple Valley parks. The City works collaboratively with Independent School District 196 (ISD), Independent School District 191, Dakota County, local athletic associ- ations and other groups to meet shared park and recre- ation needs. Key 6 – Healthy and Active Apple Valley’s policies are designed to make it the model of a healthy, active, and safe community. A comprehen- sive system of sidewalks, trails, and bike lanes connects neighborhoods, jobs, schools, and other destinations as an integral part of our transportation system. We offer a wide range of formal and informal recreation facilities that support a multitude of active and passive recreation activities. Food, health care, and other essential goods and services are readily accessible to all Apple Valley res- idents. We plan our community in ways that sustain the clean water and air on which we depend. Through best practices of storm water management, pollution mitiga- tion, and natural resources protection, we will continue to protect and sustain a healthy living environment CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 2-4Vision for Apple Valley Key 7 – Sustainable Apple Valley is recognized as a MN Green City. We recog- nize that our community’s natural amenities need to be properly respected and managed. We must wisely use our natural, economic, and human resources to sustain the quality of life we enjoy. We seek to maintain water quality and conserve our freshwater, air quality, energy and other resources and capital for future generations. This requires a continued commitment to improving the efficiency of community facilities and infrastructure, from design con- cept to construction, operation, and repurposing. Like- wise, Apple Valley is committed to maintaining productive partnerships with the energy industry, regional nonprofits, and local businesses and institutions to expand access to renewable energy and minimize the city’s carbon foot- print. Throughout this plan, existing efforts and recom- mended initiatives related to sustainability or resilience are indicated by: . Appendix I contains an inventory of baseline energy usage, identifies future energy benchmarks, and outlines strategies to achieve them. Key 8 – Accessible The ability to move safely and efficiently within Apple Val- ley and the region is essential. At a basic level, Apple Val- ley’s transportation system must connect all residents to the services they need and desire. Apple Valley supports a multifaceted transportation system that can accom- modate automobiles, mass transit, bicycles and pedes- trians. Apple Valley should be a place of “great streets.” A great street extends beyond the street surface to the sidewalks and landscaping in the adjacent right-of-way. A great street provides for the safe and efficient movement of vehicles while encouraging travel by bicycle and by foot. A great street supports and enhances adjacent land use and adds to the quality of life and identity of Apple Valley. Key 9 – Successful Downtown Apple Valley has a unique, identifiable, and thriving down- town. Downtown Apple Valley will not be a singular place, but a collection of strongly connected and experiential destinations that serve and enhance the community. The core of the downtown area is the four quadrants of the Cedar Avenue/County Road 42 intersection. The scope of downtown Apple Valley continues to evolve in form, use, and density and has expanded to include Central Village, the Transit Station. The downtown area is and will continue to be a place of commerce. It is the primary location of the goods and ser- vices needed by Apple Valley residents and regional com- munities. Downtown must also continue to be the civic core of the community. We envision a downtown area that includes a growing mixture of places to shop, work, live, and play, and which encourages engagement with the built environment at a human scale. While businesses require safe and convenient access by car, the downtown should be designed to allow people to reach it and move within it on foot or bicycle. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 2-5Vision for Apple Valley Key 10 – Exceptional Learning The quality of life in Apple Valley is inextricably linked to the quality of educational opportunities. Educating our children remains our highest priority. Schools are not only places to learn, but they are focal points of community life. Learning does not begin with kindergarten nor end with high school. It is a lifelong activity. We seek a future with increasing opportunities for continuing education lo- cated in Apple Valley. We work in strong partnership with Independent School District 196, Independent School District 191, St. Mary’s University and MacPhail School of Music, and other educational institutions to achieve this vision. Key 11 – Technology and Innovation Innovative technologies will emerge and expand through- out the world. These technologies will have a profound impact on all aspects of life. Although the specific nature of these technologies cannot be known, nor the level of acceptance, the arrow of innovation points toward in- creased automation in many sectors of the economy and in the urban systems which support them. In transporta- tion, examples include the continued development and deployment of automated and connected vehicles and intelligent transportation systems infrastructure. Advanc- es are made possible by the expanding sharing economy, which includes how we live and move about. Global cli- mate change compels alternative energy production, en- ergy consumption, and decarbonization, and investment in green technologies and resilient design. Apple Valley will position itself to be a leader in preparedness for these changes, and to capitalize on technological changes through wise saving, investment, and a flexible approach to governance. Key 12 – A Community for a Lifetime In 2019, Apple Valley is 50. It is a growing city that all res- idents proudly call home. We are committed to strength- ening our community through continued investment in its people and neighborhoods. Apple Valley’s housing, schools, parks, businesses, and cultural institutions pro- vide outstanding opportunities to live, work, play, and en- gage with fellow citizens, regardless of age or ability. We will proactively respond to the needs of changing demo- graphics, including the growing elderly community, young adults and their families, and minority citizens, by sup- porting a suitable mixture of housing and services. The City government will maintain strong working partner- ships with developers, nonprofits, regional government agencies, and other stakeholders who reflect these values in their own designs and policy initiatives. Apple Valley is a place where you can plant : grow : prosper. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 3-1Community Context 3. Community Context 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 community has evolved over time, shaped by a variety of geo- graphic, economic, and sociodemographic factors, as well as historical planning decisions. A clear un- derstanding of these influences provides the con- text for planning decisions now and in the future. It is impossible to plan without a careful exam- ination of the physical, demographic, social and economic characteristics of the community. What characteristics exist today and how are they likely to change over the course of this plan? Do these characteristics point to potential public actions through the Comprehensive Plan? The Communi- ty Context provides information needed to answer these questions. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 3-2Community Context Location Apple Valley is located in Dakota County in the southern portion of the seven-county Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. The community is located ap- proximately 20 miles from downtown Saint Paul and 20 miles from downtown Minneapolis, and 13 miles from the Minneapolis-St. Paul Internation- al Airport. This location is ideal for residents who want to enjoy the amenities of the Twin Cities but prefer a more suburban lifestyle. Two major regional highways, I-35E and Cedar Avenue/Minnesota Trunk Highway 77 (MNTH 77), connect Apple Valley with employment cen- ters and amenities throughout the metro region. These highways also provide local businesses with excellent access to customers, employees, and shipping. Figure 3.1 shows the location of the City relative to the regional system of highways, regional parks, and outdoor recreation areas. Regional Planning Designation Apple Valley is designated as a suburban commu- nity in the Twin Cities’ regional plan, Thrive MSP 2040. Apple Valley experienced development in the 1908’s – 1990’s similar to other suburbs in the region. Following this growth, Apple Valley is ap- proaching buildout, but many opportunities remain for development. Similarly, the future roadway net- work is largely in place. Future transportation in- vestments will primarily focus on continued main- tenance and adaptive improvements to manage travel demand. Understanding Apple Valley’s sub- urban context is key to developing the land use plan, transportation plan, and other elements of the Comprehensive Plan. Historic Context The 2040 Comprehensive Plan update is part of an ongoing process of community planning in Ap- ple Valley. Land use management predates the incorporation of Apple Valley in 1969, Apple Valley became a statutory city on in 1974. The Lebanon Township Board adopted the first zoning ordinance in 1954 and formed the initial Planning Commis- sion in 1962. The first comprehensive plan was prepared in 1972 and used a “new town” concept of seven residential neighborhoods supported 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 Comprehensive Plan was updated in 2000 (2020 Plan) and again in 2009 (2030 Plan). The 2030 Plan has served as the development guide 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 Historic Con- text section examines key trends, past plans, and recent development that frame the challenges that must be considered in planning for the next twenty years. Other sections of the Community Context chapter provide more detailed information about the demographic and physical characteristics of Apple Valley.

By 2020, the population is forecasted to grow to 55,500, an increase of 6,416 residents. The Met- ropolitan Council forecasts steady 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 growth averaging around 400 residents per year over the next two decades. Figure 3.2 shows historical and forecasted growth. Population growth and housing development go hand-in-hand. Figure 3.3 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 sever- al important points about residential development trends in Apple Valley: • 1,214 new housing units were built from 2006 to 2015. A revised pace of development oc- curred at the time of a national economic re- cession. (The 2030 Plan reported 7,994 new units from 1998 to 2007.) The effect of the national housing bubble and subsequent re- cession is evident beginning in the late 2000s.

However, annual demand for new single-fami- ly homes was steady from 2000-2015. • Similarly, single-family attached homes (town- homes) represent 23% of total development since 2000. Townhome and condominium de- velopment occurred in the early 2000’s, and shows signs of increasing to 2040. This coin- cides with changes with changes in state stat- utes that reduce development liability. While these trends do not determine future hous- ing development, they lead to important ques- tions. What pace of new housing development can be expected in the short-term and the long-term? How can Apple Valley best encourage an appro- priate mix of new housing options? How does housing influence the characteristics of the future population? Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional Development Another means of describing recent development trends comes from the value of new construction reported by building permits. Figure 3.4 shows the reported value of all building permits for commer- cial, industrial, and institutional from 2003 to 2015. Note that this chart does not express the number of establishments or the number/quality of jobs as- sociated with investment. New construction of commercial, industrial, and institutional dipped during the recession, although redevelopment did continue to occur. Following the recession, there has been steady develop- ment of new commercial, industrial, and institu- tional facilities. • The permitted value for new commercial, in- dustrial, and institutional development aver- aged $16.7 million from 2003 to 2015, ranging 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 constitut- ed 34% of total investment in non-residential development. Public uses, such as schools, parks, and public service facilities, are fi- nanced with public dollars. There has been sustained investment in public and instruction- al facilities. • Industrial development constituted 11% of the $0 $5,000,000 $10,000,000 $15,000,000 $20,000,000 $25,000,000 $30,000,000 $35,000,000 $40,000,000 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Commercial Industrial Public and Institutional Figure 3.4 - Total Permit Value for Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional (New Construction) Source: Metropolitan CouncilThe City has a good mix of housing styles with a core of single-family detached neighborhoods and newer townhomes and apartments. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 3-6Community Context 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 led over commercial in 2014 and 2015, following the recession. Tax Base New private development creates tax base. In 2015, according to the Dakota County Assessor, City property tax receipts totaled more than $68 million. Approximately $50 million was from resi- dential (single-family and apartments), $17 million was from commercial, and just over $1 million was from industrial. Property Value Trends Sustaining and growing property values is a key outcome of urban planning. Understanding local property value trends helps jurisdictions make in- formed 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 pro- tected. Building Value as a Share of Total Property Value Figure 3.5 maps building value as a share of total property value for the entire City, using the esti- mated values for taxes payable in 2015. This ratio is intended to identify underutilized parcels that might be opportunities for redevelopment. (White areas on the map indicate parcels with ownership by association maintained development.) In gen- eral, the building value share of total property val- ue is lowest in the following situations: • vacant lots • lots with large amounts of surface parking • parks and open space • lakes, wetlands, and stormwater ponds Some underdeveloped areas, such as parks and wetlands, provide a valuable public function. Oth- ers, such as two manufactured home parks areas located east and west of Minnesota Trunk High- way 77 (MN 77), provide affordable housing al- ternatives for inclusive housing options within the City. Areas which are underutilized, and do not provide other public purposes may be candidates for redevelopment. Taxable Value per Square Foot Another way to visualize development efficiency is to divide total taxable value (building value plus lot value) by parcel area. Like the previous met- ric, total taxable value/parcel area is contingent on the use of the parcel, the total property value, and the intensity of development. For example, the downtown focus area shows a noticeably higher taxable value per square foot than the surrounding residential area—this is largely due to the concen- tration of retail and related commercial business- es in the area. However, some areas within the downtown focus area perform better than others from a tax-efficiency perspective. Valuations are determined by the Dakota County Assessor using county wide trends in property type. Figure 3.6 maps total taxable value per square foot of parcel area, for taxes payable in 2015, in the downtown focus area. From a parcel utilization standpoint, commercial properties that are developed at higher intensi- ties/densities perform better than properties that are developed at lesser intensities/densities. One critical variable that influences tax efficiency (tax- able value per square foot) is total property value/ square foot. Clearly, higher-value properties pro- vide more total tax revenue. However, the most efficient developments are those that have a high property value per square foot, and therefore a higher taxable value per square foot. Parcel size is also a critical determinant. Once commercial parcels approach 4-5 acres (approx- imately 200,000 square feet), it is nearly impossi- ble to achieve a taxable return greater than $1 per square/foot. This is because a large percentage of “big-box” development is devoted to parking and internal vehicle circulation. Also, large commercial buildings tend to be single-story and permit only one use of the parcel.

Figure 3.7 shows the pattern of develop- ment and types of land use envisioned 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 inside these trends. Since 2000, a variety of actions have laid the foundation for future development. Cobblestone Lake In 2002, Tradition Development began construc- tion of Cobblestone Lake. This 323-acre mas- ter-planned community lies in the southeast portion of the South Central Planning Area. The Cobblestone Lake development contains a vari- ety of single-family and multifamily housing types, parks, and commercial uses. The commercial element of Cobblestone Lake took shape in 2007. The master plan for the com- mercial area contained an 180,000 square foot Su- per Target and four other buildings (26,400 square feet). The Cobblestone Lake commercial area is located on the east side of Pilot Knob Road at 157th Street. This commercial district represents the first major commercial area not physically con- nected to the downtown area. Development at Cobblestone Lake has continued through 2018. A senior living facility, Orchard Path, has been completed at the west entrance to the development. This complex will provide 193 units for senior residents in the first phase. Potential expansion could add an additional 64 indepen- dent units an 80 bedroom skilled nursing facility. A rental townhome development of 196 units has been applied for and plans to begin construction in 2018/2019. Central Village In December 2003, the City Council approved the “Central Village Plan”. This plan established the development principles for a 60-acre area focused around Galaxie Avenue and 153rd Street. The Central Village includes approximately 450,000 square feet of commercial/retail/office space and a mix of medium- and high-density housing types, including townhouses, condominiums, apart- ments, and senior-only dwelling units. In 2017, the Parkside Gabella opened with 196 units, the Planning Commission approved a mixed-use senior housing cooperative with 58 units. The Parkside at Galante apartments on the southeast corner of Galaxie Avenue and 152nd Street W added 134 multi-family units to the city’s housing stock. Infill development on Founder’s Lane continues to take shape. The Central Village design plan was intended to promote a more dense, walkable, mixed-use en- Top: The Shops on Galaxie; Middle: Multifamily apartments un- der construction on Galaxie Avenue; Bottom: Senior Cooperative Housing and Mixed-Use is planned for the vacant parcel on Galax- ie Avenue and 153rd Street CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 3-11Community Context vironment, which stands in contrast to the sub- urban superblocks and power centers located along Cedar Avenue and County Road 42. Market conditions during the recession effect the timing of development, however renewed growth has occurred coinciding with the economy. The devel- opment evolved to match the marketplace, add- ing rental housing square footage and a paired one way road circulation network. Chapter 4, Land Use, includes a series of Downtown Design Guidelines that build on the successful elements of the Central Village. Kelly Park Area East of Galaxie Avenue Development activity has included the following multi-family apartment projects; • Parkside Village Gabella, a 196-unit market rate apartment building • Parkside Village Galante, a 134-unit market rate apartment building • Remington Cove I and II, 201 units of market rate apartments in two buildings • Remington Cove II was constructed in 2016. Cedar Avenue Improvements/BRT After more than a decade of planning, the State of Minnesota’s first bus rapid transit (BRT) line, the METRO Red Line, began operating in 2013. This line provides station-to-station service between the Mall of the America and the Apple Valley Tran- sit station located at 155th Street and Cedar Ave- nue. This station includes a parking deck, shelters for northbound and southbound riders, and an overhead skyway. Additional shelters were con- structed at the 140th and 147th station stops. To facilitate the shoulder-running BRT system, Cedar Avenue was reconstructed to include a thru lane between 138th and 160th Streets. In 2015, the Dakota County Cedar Avenue Transit- way Implementation Plan Update (IPU) was com- pleted. This plan identifies a series of goals, evalu- ation measures, investment thresholds, and other progress indicators to help establish priorities for Red Line transit station and walkway on Cedar Avenue. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 3-12Community Context future transitway development through 2040. Ex- pansion of the Apple Valley Transit Station was programmed for Stage 2 (2015-2020.) A park-and- ride capacity expansion has been discussed for northern Apple Valley at 127th and Cedar Ave to bring online transit services to the surrounding neighborhood in Stage 4 (by 2040). Various bicy- cle and pedestrian improvements, technological improvements, and maintenance will occur over the life of this plan. One of the goals of the IPU is to “enhance and promote transit-oriented development that is com- patible with community goals and helps increase ridership.” Apple Valley can leverage regional transit investments by encouraging a dense mix- ture of residential and employment-based rede- velopment in the Cedar Avenue Transitway., Re- gional planning authorities also recognize that TOD implementation should occur on a scale that is compatible with the community’s goals. To this end, the Future Land Use Plan identifies practical, “suburban-intensive” transit-supportive develop- ment strategies within the Cedar Avenue corridor and the surrounding area. (See Chapter 4.) In addition to the METRO Red Line, there are sev- eral express and local bus routes within the city. These services are provided by the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA). The MVTA oper- ates peak express service to Downtown Minneap- olis and Downtown St. Paul and cross-town routes along Apple Valley’s major arterials. See Chapter 8 for a full discussion of community transit services. Senior Housing Development • As its population ages, Apple Valley has prior- itized development of senior housing facilities. Numerous ongoing developments offer varied living and affordability arrangements. These developments include: Legends, a housing fa- cility with 163 affordable units, located on the southeast corner of Cedar Avenue and 140th Street W. • Orchard Path, with 193 continuum of care market-rate units, located at the west entrance to the Cobblestone Lake Development. • Zvago, a 58 unit senior cooperative under construction in 2018. Existing Land Use Apple Valley’s physical setting forms the founda- tion of the Comprehensive Plan. Existing land use patterns influence the type and location of future development. Housing is the largest land use and a defining characteristic. Figure 3.8 shows a snapshot of land use in 2017. Table 3.1 contains the estimated area in each land use category. The map uses an interpretation of property tax data to determine existing 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.

Single-family detached housing occupies approximately 41% of Apple Valley’s total land area. • Commercial uses, including retail, restaurants, and commercial offices/services are primarily concentrated in the Downtown Focus Area, along the Cedar Avenue and County Road 42 corridors. • Parks and open spaces are located through- out the community and include the Minnesota Zoo, Lebanon Hills Regional Park, and Val- leywood Golf Course. Between the zoo, golf courses, and numerous parks, Apple Valley maintains substantial acreage for open space and recreation. These parks and recreation amenities are a point of community pride and a defining quality-of-life asset for the City. • The last large area of undeveloped land is the sand and gravel mining area located in south central Apple Valley, which contains 414 acres. The Fischer mining area is currently in operation and is expected to be reclaimed for a variety of uses over the next several years Other physical characteristics influence the future growth and development of Apple Valley. The fol- lowing elements are discussed in greater detail in other chapters of the plan: • Major street corridors are an important factor in organizing land uses. Most high-volume commercial uses are located on higher clas- sification streets, such as arterials and collec- tors, which ensure that they are highly visible to customers and reduces through traffic on residential 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 (Water Resources - Chapter 9). • The municipal water system provides safe drinking water and support for fire suppres- sion. (Water Resources - Chapter 9). • Stormwater management systems are re- quired to support development, but also be- come defining physical features (storm water collection ponds are among the more notable physical features) (Water Resources - Chap- ter 9). • Parks, Trails and Open Space (Chapter 7) in- fluence the form of development and the qual- ity of life in Apple Valley. • Public objectives for Economic Development and Redevelopment (Chapter 6) influence the use of land for commercial and industrial pur- poses. As existing land uses grow older, the need for reinvestment and the opportunity for redevelopment will increase. Aggregate Resources Municipalities must consult the Minnesota Geolog- ical Survey, Aggregate Resources Inventory of the Seven-County Metropolitan Area for the location of identified aggregate resources. The extraction of aggregate resources and the reclamation of mining areas has been a defining characteristic of Apple Valley. The last remaining aggregate mining site in Apple Valley is Fischer Sand and Aggregate mine located south of County Road 42. The 2009 Comprehensive Plan identified this site for rede- velopment, with a focus on establishing new job opportunities within a “mixed-business campus.” CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 3-15Community Context Portions of this area labeled as “Sand and Gravel” on the Existing Land Use Map, is being reclaimed and redevelopment planning is under way. Devel- opment of this site will occur in stages as mining is phased out. Reclamation of the Fischer Sand and Gravel Mine is a significant economic development opportunity. Housing Housing comprises most of the land area in Apple Valley, accounting for nearly 50% of the existing land use. Housing shapes the form and character 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. Fig- ure 3.9 illustrates this growth for different types of housing, including single-family attached, sin- gle-family detached, 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 occu- pied by a single family and is not physically con- nected to any other housing unit. However, the housing supply is becoming more diverse, and the share of single-family detached housing contin- ues to decline due to an increase in higher den- sity multi-family development. In 1990, 68% of the City’s housing stock consisted of single-family detached housing. 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. Most multi-family growth is attributed to apartment fa- cilities 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 from 9% of the overall housing stock to 14%. The housing supply contains a mix of architectural styles. Newer single-family housing is most com- monly a two-story design. Houses that are two or more stories represent 32% of all units. Near- ly 40% of homes are “split level” style. Split-level and multi-story homes may not be suitable for old- er residents wishing to age in place. The median finished size for Apple Valley homes is 2,122 square feet. Over the last several de- cades, the trend has been towards increasing square footage. 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 hous- ing stock. Figure 3.10 illustrates various dwelling types in Apple Valley. Figure 3.9 - Growth by Housing Type 10,1113,9122402081,51854710,4345,8792312222,7264330 2,000 4,000 6,000 8,000 10,000 12,000 2000 2015 Source: 2000 Census, 2015 ACS Housing Tenure 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 hous- ing is owner-occupied. This represents a significant change and is consistent with the increase in mul- tiple-family and attached housing that took place between 2000 and 2015. This trend has contin- CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 3-16Community Context ued through 2017, with more than 1,000 additional multi-family units either planned or under construc- tion. Rental housing is provided primarily by multiple-fam- ily structures. More than 55% of rental housing was in structures with 10 or more units. Approximately 26% of rental housing was single-family attached units. Approximately 10% of rental units were sin- gle-family detached. Since 2009, approximately 1,300 multi- family dwelling units have been add- ed to Apple Valley’s housing stock, which has in- creased the percentage of renter-occupied housing in the city. Figure 3.10 depicts housing tenure in Apple Valley.

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 prior to 1987. These units are primarily single-family.

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 future development determine the demand for land, the need for infrastructure and municipal services. Metropolitan Council Forecasts Future growth is a critical consideration in updat- ing Apple Valley’s Comprehensive Plan. The Com- prehensive Plan relies on the most recent fore- casts made by the Metropolitan Council. Table 3.2 contains population, household and employment forecasts for 2020, 2030 and 2040 with compari- sons to actual totals for 2000 and 2010. Table 3.2 - Council Growth Forecasts YEAR POP HH EMP 2000 45,527 16,344 12,103 2010 49084 18,875 14,279 2020*55,500 21,700 15,800 2030*59,200 23,300 16,400 2040*63,600 24,900 17,100 *Census Count **Council Forecast These forecasts show Apple Valley’s population in- creasing 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 household 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 fore- cast to project a slower rate of job growth in Ap- ple Valley. The updated forecast anticipates an in- crease 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 will likely 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. The Metropolitan Council’s forecasts were made with the best available 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 dramatically more than the forecasts given, simply because it is running out of available land for development. Future growth will be driven primarily by redevel- opment. Population growth will be primarily driven by migration. As the metropolitan area grows out- ward, Apple Valley will have the advantage of being a suburb that is closer to Minneapolis and St. Paul than developing fringe cities, centrally located with- in the southern suburbs. Therefore, it may be more likely to retain and attract residents who would pre- fer to avoid longer commute times. Looking ahead to 2040, a variety of macroeco- nomic factors will influence actual growth out- comes, including the following: • National economic and housing market con- ditions. • Local development of suburban intensive housing, utilities, 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, particu- larly other communities in the Twin Cities met- ro. • Redevelopment Note that some of these factors are related. An important element of implementing the Compre- hensive Plan will be to monitor these changes and their implications for the future of Apple Valley. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 3-20Community Context Local Housing Forecast A study of future housing needs in Dakota County provides insights on future development in Apple Valley. In 2013, Maxfield Research Inc. prepared a Comprehensive Housing Needs Assessment for the Dakota County Community Development Agency. This study forecasts housing demand in two stages, from 2010-2020 and 2020-2030 The study breaks down demand for rented and own- er-occupied single-family, multi-family, and senior housing. Table 3.3 summarizes Apple Valley’s forecasted housing demand for 2020-2030. Table 3.3 - Housing Demand Forecast, 2020-2030 Tenure Type Forecast Units Own Single-family 625-636 Multi-family 550-560 Senior 50 Rent Market rate 590-610 Affordable 100-275 Senior market rate 100-115 Senior affordable 155-162 Total, all units 2,170-2,408 Source: Dakota County Housing Needs Assessment The total forecasted demand for new units ranges from 2,170 to 2,408. This forecast is approximate- ly 50% higher than Metropolitan Council’s fore- casted household growth for 2020-2030, which is 1,600 households. Commercial Retail Trends Apple Valley is thriving commercial hub. Commer- cial development slowed during the recession but has since picked up. According to market studies by Maxfield Research Inc. there will be continued demand for commercial uses through 2030. The success of online shopping has greatly im- pacted brick-and-mortar retail. In early 2017, for example, there were more than 100 closures each by J.C. Penney, Sears, and Macy’s. It is also rec- ognized that the top 25 online retailers all have brick and mortar retail. The emerging model for successful brick-and-mortar retail is focused around delivering a unique shopping experience. Over the course of this plan, the City will likely be affected by the closure of one or more large retailers, with impacts to local employment, con- sumption, and revenue generated by property and sales taxes. This would provide opportunities for infill, adaptive reuse, and redevelopment. One of the intents of the future land use plan is to estab- lish a community vision and provide guidance for the City to capitalize on these opportunities when they occur. Characteristics of the Popula-tion 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 sus- tain/improve the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the community. The land use and built environment of a community influence a variety of social, cultural, and economic characteristics, in- cluding the following: • Household size and composition • Housing affordability • Availability of good local jobs at a livable wage • Work/housing balance and commuting trends of those working and living in the community • 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 (recreation, so- cial services, education, public safety) • Economic capacity to support both private businesses and local government. . CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 3-21Community Context Age of Population The characteristics of the Apple Valley’s population are changing. Figure 3.13 shows that 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 population was under age 18 and only 7% of Apple Valley res- idents were 55 years of age or older. By 2015, the proportion of residents age 18 or younger had fall- en to 18% while the share of residents aged 55 or over had grown to 26%. Aging trends in Apple Valley are similar to Dakota Coun- ty as a whole. Roughly half of the population growth in Da- kota County will occur in the population group aged 65 or over. Existing Cohort Composition Figure 3.14 shows the existing composition of Apple Valley’s population, broken down by age and sex. The distribution is consistent for children through young adults.

This bulge will move toward the top of the pyramid over the timeline for this plan. There are more males than females for every co- hort 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 Demographer provides detailed population forecasts for each county, broken down by age cohort. These fore- casts can be used to supplement the forecasts from Metropolitan Council. Figure 3.15 illustrates the change that is forecasted for each cohort in Dakota County, from 2015 to 2040. The height of the bars indicates percent change and the data la- bels indicate the total magnitude of the change. Roughly half of the forecasted population growth in Dakota County will occur in the pop- ulation group aged 65 or over. The State Demographer projects total population growth of 70,514 for Dakota County. Growth in the cohorts aged 65 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 grow by 11,325. This increase is accompanied by a decline in the number of individuals aged 45-54. 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 simi- lar impacts as demand for goods and services re- sponds to the needs of changing demographics. While the overall population will grow older, it is more difficult to predict what this trend means for Apple Valley. Several questions highlight the chal- lenge of forecasting the aging of Apple Valley’s population: • How long will current baby boomer residents of larger single-family houses choose to stay in these homes? 4,662 2,095 -598 1,970 6,417 5,525 4,253 6,057 2,373 -3,205 -5,187 420 3,049 6,708 11,325 10,240 5,847 8,563 < 5 5-9 10-14 15-19 20-24 25-29 30-34 35-39 40-44 45-49 50-54 55-59 60-64 65-69 70-74 75-79 80-84 85+Net ChangeAge Cohort Figure 3.15 - Forecasted Population Change by Age Cohort in Dakota County, 2015-2040 Source: Minnesota State Demographer CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 3-23Community Context • 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 options, physical characteristics, infrastructure and services that attract seniors? These questions frame important elements of the relationship between land use and the character- istics of the people who live in Apple Valley. Household Size A household includes all the people who occupy a housing unit as their place of residence. Histori- cal data shows that household size has decreased each decade for fifty years. After decades of re- duction, the number of people living in each home is leveling off. In 1960, the Census reported that average household size in Apple Valley was 5.27 people. Fifty years later, the average household size is 2.58 persons. The current estimate from the 2015 ACS is 2.56. The smaller household size is consistent with societal trends toward smaller fam- ilies. The average household size in Apple Valley is now similar to the average household size for Dakota County as well as to the rest of the metro. Household size has decreased steadily for 50 years. This trend is Iikely to continue with significant growth in the number of one- and two-person senior households. Figure 3.16 depicts average household size in Ap- ple Valley. Figure 3.17 shows how the composition of households has changed over time. Other 2015 trends that are evident from the charts: • 71% of Apple Valley households are family households. This is down from 83% in 1990. • From 1990 to 2015, the share of households that included children under the age of 18 de- creased from 56% to 34%. • From 1990 to 2015, the share of households that consisted of a family with no children in- creased from 27% to 37%. Race Racial diversity is increasing in Apple Valley. The 2015 ACS reports that 81.2% of the population identifies as white, down from 83.8% in 2010 and 91.8% in 2000. Meanwhile, minority groups are growing.

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. The 2015 ACS estimates that 2,268 people are Hispanic or Latino. This represents 4.5% of the current population. Figure 3.18 depicts the racial and ethnic composition of Apple Valley. 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 3.19 shows median household incomes in Apple Valley, Da- kota County, and the Twin Cities metro. The val- ues in Figure 3.19 are reported in nominal terms – they have not been adjusted for inflation. The most important takeaway from the figure is that the average household income in Apple Valley is consistently higher than the average household income for Dakota County as well as the Twin Cit- ies metro. The distribution of incomes provides additional information about the economic standing of the community: • 37.7% of households earn $100,000 or more. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 3-25Community Context • 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 levels of poverty, but poverty has increased in recent years. In 2000, 2.1% of the population reported incomes below the poverty level. In 2010, the poverty rate was 5.2%. The current ACS estimate from 2015 shows that 7.5% of the population of Apple Valley is living below the poverty level. This is similar to the poverty rate for Dakota County (7.7%), but less than the poverty rate for the Twin Cities metro area (10.3%). Figure 3.20 shows poverty trends over time, includ- ing the percent of the population below the poverty level, as well as the as the percentage of people earning 100-149% percent of the poverty threshold, and the percentage earning 150-185% of the pov- erty threshold. From 2010 to 2015, the poverty level increased while the percentage of individuals earn- ing 100-185% of the poverty threshold decreased, a general indication that many individuals who were close to the poverty level in 2010 have now fallen below. Wage stagnation is one explanation for this trend, noticeable during the recession period dis- cussed. 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 did not attend college decreased from 29.8% to 22.7%. Meanwhile, the percentage of the pop- ulation with a graduate or professional degree in- creased from 7.8% to 14.5% In 2015, 29.3% of 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 bachelor’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 Valley residents are in the community each day. Commuting decisions affect transportation sys- tems, and the work-housing balance impacts lo- cal tax revenue and expenditures. Apple Valley residents who commute to another jurisdiction for work utilize public services outside Apple Val- ley throughout the day and contribute to the local economies of other jurisdictions. 7.5% 4.1% 2.9% 0.0% 2.0% 4.0% 6.0% 8.0% 10.0% 12.0% 14.0% 16.0% 1990 2000 2010 2015 Persons between 150% and 184% of poverty Persons between 100% and 149% of poverty Persons below poverty level 5.2% 2.1%3.5% 2.2% 2.5% 4.5% 3.6% 2.2% 2.8% Figure 3.20 - Percent Poverty Source: Decennial Census, 2015 ACS CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 3-26Community Context Accommodation and Food Services, 13.6% All Other Industries, 5.6% Arts and Entertainment, 3.2% Educational Services, 17.4% Finance and Insurance, 4.6% Health Care and Social Assistance, 11.9% Information, 0.9% Manufacturing, 4.7% Other Services, Ex.

The Quarterly Census of Employment and Wag- es (QCEW) provide quarterly data on employment by industry for local geographies. Three industries employ more than half of the workforce: Retail Trade, Educational 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 filled by individ- uals who live outside of Apple Valley. Figure 3.21 shows a breakdown of employment by industry for Apple Valley residents for the second quarter of 2015. Place 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 Val- ley; the other 89% of residents commuted outside the city. Approximately 37.7% of Apple Valley resi- dents work in Dakota County, while 39.5% travel to Hennepin County. The City of Minneapolis employs a higher share of Apple Valley residents than Apple CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 3-27Community Context Valley itself. Figure 3.22 depicts the place of work for Apple Valley residents. In 2014, the Census recorded 16,327 jobs in Apple Valley. Of these, 13,312 (81.5%) were filled by peo- ple living elsewhere, and 3,015 (18.5%) were filled by the local workforce. Meanwhile, 23,367 workers commuted outside the city for work. Therefore, Ap- ple Valley is a net exporter of jobs. This is reflected in its land use patterns, with relatively more residential acreages than commercial 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 work- force that drives alone to work is 81.6%. The work- force makes limited use of public transportation, with 4.7% of commuters using that mode. How- ever, use of public transit has grown 1.6% since 2000 due to the increase in transit services avail- able. The percentage of workers who work from home is increasing, consistent with global trends. The 2015 Census reported 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 and the cost of trav- el 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 eco- nomic conditions, such as the scaled transition to renewable energy sources. Practicing Sustainability and Resilience Apple Valley values the natural environment. Nat- ural amenities promote physical, cognitive, and emotional health. The natural environment pro- vides ecosystem services, such as water filtra- tion and recharge. Most amenities and services – clean water and air, forests, sunlight, wind – are or can be commoditized to some degree, meaning they have economic value as well as environmen- tal value. For example, in 2017, the Urban Land Institute reported analytics for green infrastructure and water management demonstrating added public and private value. Thus, there is intrinsic and economic value in conserving resources and, increasingly, by investing in partnerships, technol- ogies, and industries that advance sustainability goals. Recognizing these benefits, Apple Valley seeks to maintain the quantity and quality of its natural resources for future generations to use. This is a common definition of sustainability. A related term that has gained wider usage is resilience. Resiliency is the ability to avoid, with- stand, or bounce back from stress or shock. These shocks may stem from environmental, economic, or societal changes,. Thrive MSP 2040, the Twin Cities regional plan, encourages cities to plan for the effects of climate change and other vulnerabil- ities. Many cities in America have adopted resil- ience plans and shared their strategies with one another. (www.100resilientcities.org). Both terms, sustainable and resilient, are used in this plan. Sometimes, either word may be appro- priate. For example, efforts to expand the use of solar as an energy resource are sustainable – this resource is renewable – and resilient, because solar, combined with an adequate energy storage system, is an ideal backup power source to pro- tect against potential outages. Sustainability – Maintaining the quality and abun- dance of natural resources and the services they provide for future generations to use and enjoy. Resilience – The capacity of natural, political, and economic systems to avoid, withstand, and recov- er from disruptions without losing the ability to per- form their basic functions. The following text describes Apple Valley’s recent efforts regarding environmental sustainability and resilience. The City has undertaken a variety of ini- tiatives in recent years to demonstrate best prac- tices in its own endeavors and encourage similar practices by the private sector. By setting and achieving goals for sustainable action and envi- ronmental stewardship, the City promotes a high CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 3-28Community Context quality of life that is attractive to prospective resi- dents and employers, and which reflects the val- ues of current citizens and industry. By cementing these goals and expanding its sustainability and resilience initiatives, the Comprehensive Plan will continue to promote wise, efficient management of local resources to foster enduring prosperity. GreenStep City The Minnesota GreenStep Cities program is a public-private initiative that guides and recogniz- es communities for achievement of sustainability goals. Apple Valley resolved to become a Green- Step City in 2011 and achieved level three sta- tus in 2015, having implemented many new best practices during that time. At the time, level 3 was the highest status that could be achieved. Since then, the GreenStep program has expanded to levels 4 and 5. The City aspires to become a lev- el 5 GreenStep City, which requires it to establish additional performance metrics and demonstrate quantifiable progress toward achieving its goals. The Comprehensive Plan is a starting point for achieving this goal. For example, the Great Plains Institute produced a report of Apple Valley’s base- line energy usage. Using GPI’s Wedge application, the City can model the effect of the various car- bon-cutting strategies. GPI’s report is included in Appendix A. To demonstrate quantitative improve- ments in other sustainability areas, the City must establish a similar method for quantifying existing conditions and policy impacts. During preparation of the Comprehensive Plan, a high level of public support for sustainable initiatives indicates there is local momentum to create a citizen task force charged with overseeing the GreenStep initiative. Performance Buildings Several public facilities demonstrate principles of sustainable building design and operation. The following buildings have attained recognition from LEED or Green Globe, two national rating sys- tems. • A. V. Municipal Center, features extensive use of daylight harvesting to minimize artificial lighting, as well as an innovative storm water management system (LEED) • Liquor Store 3, sources its power entirely from a geothermal well located under the parking lot, a first-of-its-kind facility in the state. (Green Globes, Two Globes) • Apple Valley Senior Center, features daylight harvesting, in-floor radiant heating, and a green roof. (Green Globes, Two Globes) • Valleywood Clubhouse, features extensive use of daylighting and other energy efficient elements. (Green Globes, Three Globes) Efficient Utilities The City has used funding from the American Re- covery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA – the eco- nomic stimulus package of 2009) to install energy efficient lighting and automated building and HVAC controls in many public facilities. It partnered with Dakota Electric Company to create a pilot zone for LED street lights, which has allowed it to test these fixtures and expand the program to other areas of the City. The ongoing partnership with Dakota Electric also enabled positive change for private residences. Using grants from the Joyce Founda- tion and the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, the City created incentives for home- owners to participate in its Better Energy Program. In two years, this program helped 780 households install 16,680 CFL light bulbs, 759 low-flow show- er heads, and 1,491 low-flow aerators. Simple, low-cost improvements like these can have a big impact on energy savings. Water Monitoring and Restoration Apple Valley supports several volunteer oppor- tunities to monitor water quality. This data helps the City understand the local and regional impacts to the watershed and make informed decisions about future development and mitigation. As the saying goes, cities can’t manage what they don’t measure. Through the Council’s Citizen Assisted Monitoring Program (CAMP), volunteers collect water quality samples from five local lakes. A sim- ilar initiative, the Wetland Health Evaluation Pro- gram (WHEP), is used to track the health of Apple Valley’s wetlands. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 3-29Community Context Recycling City recycling education is conducted by Dakota Valley Recycling, which also performs recycling education services for Burnsville, Eagan, and Lakeville. Dakota Valley Recycling conducts res- idential curbside recycling education in Apple Val- ley. The program also offers recycling education and assistance to businesses and other commu- nity organizations. The County is updating its solid waste master plan with the goal of recycling 75% of waste by 2030. Energy To become more resilient and sustainable, one of the biggest improvements Apple Valley can make is to increase the amount of energy that is con- sumed from renewable sources. The award-win- ning design of several public buildings demon- strates the City’s commitment to minimize its carbon footprint and improve efficiency. Perfor- mance buildings feature daylight harvesting, geo- thermal power, or a green roof. There is potential for larger savings when best practices are extend- ed to the private sector. Since 2007, Apple Valley business have installed more than 100 efficiency projects and cut annual energy bills by $285,000. State Guidance In February 2016, Minnesota introduced the 50 by ’30 Initiative, a bipartisan bill formalizing the State’s intent to increase its renewable standard from 25 percent to 50 percent by the year 2030. If this goal is met, the State will benefit from im- proved air quality, lower energy costs, and the creation of skilled jobs in emerging industries. Statewide, the renewable standard – the amount of energy sourced from renewables – surpassed 20 percent in 2016. Regional Guidance Apple Valley has chosen to participate in the Re- gional Indicators Initiative, a program offered by Great Plains Institute. By partnering with metro- politan communities, GPI provides an assessment of energy usage and helps communities visualize the steps needed to reach their energy reduction targets, through the Local Government Project for Energy Planning (LoGoPEP). This program ben- efits all localities, which can compare their plans with one another and with the State’s 50 by ’30 plan. The LoGoPEP assessment for Apple Valley is included in Appendix I. Solar Solar energy is the most abundant resource in Minnesota. Solar output has expanded rapidly as technology has improved and the price of solar has dropped. Yet, this resource remains underutilized. Total insolation in Apple Valley is approximately 30 million megawatt hours per year. Figure 3.23 shows how this gross solar potential is distribut- ed across Apple Valley. Bright orange areas have high potential and dark areas have low potential. It is estimated that rooftop solar in Apple Valley could generate up to 250,000 mwh/yr, given roof- top availability and current technology, which as- sumes 10 percent conversion efficiency. If even a fraction of this resource potential were developed, it could power several hundred homes. Apple Valley’s subdivision regulations protect ac- cess to solar in new development and existing de- velopments, stating that in the case of all platting, the subdivision may be evaluated for its orienta- tion for possible solar energy system use and for its potential impacts to adjacent property. This cri- terion does not expressly prohibit or restrict devel- opment which impedes solar potential, but it could be applied as such. The extent to which this criteri- on is consistently prioritized will affect sustainabil- ity outcomes. In addition to local regulations, solar easements are enabled under Minnesota Statute 500.30 Subd. 3. Solar activities can also be regu- lated through zoning if necessary. Appendix I provides a further accounting of Apple Valley’s energy trends and charts strategies for developing solar potential in addition to other re- newables. General energy goals are included for Land Use, Economic Development, and other rel- evant chapters of the plan. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 3-30Community Context Wind In general, community-sourced wind has less po- tential than solar. Small-scale wind turbines are less efficient and more visually disruptive than so- lar. Figure 3.24 shows wind potential for the state of Minnesota; the urbanized metro has some of the lowest potential for direct wind generation in the state. Nevertheless, electricity produced from regional wind farms provides a significant contri- bution to Apple Valley’s energy supply. Xcel Ener- gy is routinely rated as the nation’s top wind ener- gy utility.

Impactful issues can be drawn out of the data that will inform plan policies and strategies. These issues are outlined below. Community Aging The age 70-74 cohort is projected to have the larg- est net increase through 2040 of any age cohort. The population above 65 years is projected to have significant increases in Apple 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; offering support to age-in-place and new housing choices sought by seniors. • 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 likely 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 house- holds (e.g. live alone, married with kids, non-fam- ily, etc.) are becoming increasingly diverse in Ap- ple Valley. Potential Plan Considerations: • Planning decisions need to be increasingly sensitive to the needs of a diversifying pop- ulation. • 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 commu- nity. • Encourage new development and redevelop- ment to provide a variety of household types to better accommodate the changing popula- tion. Jobs-Housing Balance 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; medical office/ clinics Business Parks; mixed use Industrial Parks; limited industrial • Reduce in-commuting of the lower wage work- force by expanding housing options and other pathways to increasing housing affordability. Housing Affordability Average household incomes are higher in Apple Valley than for Dakota County and the Twin Cit- ies metro. However, the incidence of poverty is increasing in Apple Valley and throughout the re- gion. While Apple Valley is affordable for most resi- dents, there is a general lack of affordable housing for low-income earners throughout the Twin Cities metro. Apple Valley is committed to meeting its share of the regional affordable housing require- ment and increasing local access to well-paying, head-of-household jobs. 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 CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 3-33Community Context this workforce in Apple Valley and support as- sociated industries. • Continue to strengthen multimodal infrastruc- ture: pedestrian, bicycle, and transit options need to be made increasingly available. • Maintain the Manufactured Home Park as a valuable affordable housing commodity. National Retail Trends The current nationwide retail bubble requires monitoring and repositioning, given the significant amount of retail space currently available in Apply Valley. Moving forward, new retail development opportunities have the potential to in-fill sought af- ter and amenity retail choices. Top internet sellers continue to have brick and mortar stores. 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 in- crease opportunities for small and medium sized businesses, to reduce the city’s reliance on large chain retailers. • 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. Development Opportunities The Fischer Sand and Aggregate Mining Area and the downtown Central Village area represent the last areas with significant opportunities for new development of significant scale. Potential Plan Considerations: • The City must leverage these coveted areas to provide development that solves issues identified in the Community Context, primarily including development that: Attracts a high-wage workforce Allows for medical services Provides a variety of housing options on a limited basis in the mining area Provides multiple uses at a higher in- tensity and density than how the City has historically developed • Ensure that these areas are well connect- ed into the surrounding urban fabric through careful development design and the consider- ation of multimodal connections. Technology Trends As technological change opens new frontiers, Apple Valley envisions itself as a regional leader for new technology deployment and investment. Technological improvements increase work ef- ficiency, resulting in greater financial savings, further investment, and economic growth. Many technologies will enable progress toward sustain- ability or resiliency initiatives – for example, the price of harvesting solar energy is rapidly decreas- ing to the point where transition from conventional fuels is justifiable on economic grounds, not just ethical ones. Several emerging technologies could impact Ap- ple Valley between now and 2040, although there is uncertainty about when or whether they will be adopted, the scale of adoption, and the magnitude of their effects on urban systems. For example, the emergence of automated and connected vehicles is widely touted as a defining moment for person- al transportation, but the commercial adoption of these technologies has been limited thus far; and while American automakers have invested in elec- tric vehicle production, their ability to meet their production goals is still largely dependent on pub- lic subsidy. The best way Apple Valley can accom- modate these and other nascent technologies is to develop a policy framework that addresses them now. This will allow the City to leverage public-pri- vate relationships and make guided, strategic in- vestments when opportunities become available. Apple Valley seeks to promote equitable technol- ogy development and expanded access to tech- nology through continued reinvestment in public services and consistent community engagement. Fiber to the home and business is one example with the ability to grow one the cost/benefit has been addressed. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-1Land Use 4. Land Use The Vision for the future of Apple Valley lays the foundation for the Comprehensive Plan. The Land Use Plan, in turn, provides the framework for guiding land use to achieve this vision. This Chapter includes several key elements that ex- press the vision through maps, goals, guidelines, and policy statements. These elements include: • Focus Areas (page 4-4) • The Future Land Use Map (page 4-17) • Description of Land Use Categories (page 4-19) • Land Use Goals and Policies (page 4-28) These elements are the primary tools for guiding future land use in accordance with the commu- nity’s vision. The Future Land Use Map guides uses for each parcel in the City. However, this land use plan is intended to be flexible, because it is anticipated that most growth will occur through redevelopment, of which the exact loca- tion and character cannot be specified. The plan refers to focus areas which are prior- itized for development and/or redevelopment. Two areas, the Fischer Sand and Gravel Mining Area and Downtown, represent the largest op- portunities for infill development and redevelop- ment and are the core areas for commerce and jobs development, respectively. Figure 4.1 illus- trates the general boundaries of these areas. The plan calls for them to be connected via an extension of the Ring Route and enhanced tran- sit service. There is a focus on enhancing ac- cessibility to transit, housing, and employment in within the Cedar Avenue corridor and the County Road 42 corridor. (See the Focus Areas Section for further discussion.) The Land Use Plan describes objectives, strat- egies, and design guidelines that correspond to the unique challenges and opportunities in these focus areas. To implement its vision in these ar- eas, the City may need to solidify its strategies through formal policies, i.e., though amend- ments to the zoning code, parking requirements, etc. For example, the City could formalize its policies for accessibility and density through the application of a transit-oriented development overlay district. The recommendations in the Plan are intended as a guide to facilitate future policy implementation.

The goals and policies in this section describe the land use objectives of Apple Valley, which aim to meet the needs and desires of all members of the com- munity. The Land Use element of the Comprehen- sive Plan promotes a development pattern that can be sustained over time, makes the best use of available resources, and maximizes the ability of each use to meet its intended function, such as the provision of recreational, social, environmen- tal, or economic services. “Apple Valley is a place with outstanding quality of life. We must wisely use the natural, economic, and human resources needed to create this quality of life. We seek to provide the resources required to maintain and enhance this quality of life for generations. In doing so, Apple Valley aspires to be sustainable.” General Planning Strategies The City uses zoning and buffering techniques to guide all parcels toward their highest land use and maintain the integrity of distinctive uses. Zoning and Buffering Concepts An important objective of city planning in Apple Valley is to preserve the vitality and cohesiveness of residential neighborhoods. To that end, the City aims to minimize land use conflicts through application of the zoning ordinance and buffering policies. Zoning boundaries represent the most tenuous locations in a city, where land use incom- patibilities are likely to arise. Buffering techniques are Apple Valley’s primary strategy for smoothing land use transitions. The City uses buffers to separate incompatible land uses or portions of land uses that have the potential to negatively impact adjacent properties and/or neighborhoods. Buffers also: • Define neighborhood convenience centers • Provide open space in higher-density residen- tial developments • Introduce strategic design features into devel- opments • Reinforce neighborhood identity Designed buffer treatments utilize a variety of natural and structural design elements to reduce the effect of noise, light, traffic, or mismatched aesthetics on residential properties. Landscaping elements, berms, distance, fencing, and site and building orientation are all techniques that help to buffer uses. In cases where new development or redevelop- ment is proposed that may negatively impact existing uses, the City may require noise, traffic, shadow and similar studies to evaluate the extent of the expected impacts and the mitigation mea- sures needed to reduce those impacts. The second type of buffer, a “use” buffer, is part and parcel of land use planning and zoning as it is typically applied, but is not always stated as such. A “use” buffer acts to moderate the transition from a high-intensity use to a low-intensity use by incor- porating uses of moderate intensity in between. Typical zoning arrangements attempt to minimize the interface between high-intensity and low-in- tensity uses by promoting a gradual transition in intensity across an urban transect. An idealized arrangement is as follows: Industrial/commercial high-density residen- tial medium density low density This arrangement has several benefits: • Protects homeowners’ property invest- ments. Most Apple Valley homeowners live in low-density, single-family neighborhoods. • Protects commercial and industrial uses. Some commercial and industrial areas lose their ability to function properly if they are en- croached by low-intensity uses. • Links high-density residential develop- ments to jobs, retail, and services. Linking employees, workers, and consumers creates mutually beneficial relationships for business- es for all three groups. In this way, local regu- latory policies recognize the practical needs of the private market. • Aids transportation goals. The general ar- CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-4Land Use rangement described above is seamlessly in- tegrated with the transportation plan through the roadway functional classification system. High density/intensity uses are located along arterials and major collectors. Low intensity uses are located on minor collectors and local streets. In addition, concentrating residential and employment densities along transit corri- dors promotes ridership for the Minnesota Val- ley Transit Authority (MVTA) bus system and the METRO Red Line. General Community Design Standards The City uses this Plan, design policies, and other land use regulations to create desirable environ- ments for its residents to live, work, and play, and sustain high-quality development. The City uses general design standards to establish minimum requirements for site design, exterior architectur- al form and scale, and landscaping in key devel- opment areas, including major road corridors and larger parcels with few natural amenities. (Specific design guidelines for Downtown are included at the end of this chapter.) Municipal design guidelines consider the following aspects of development: • Site grading • Architectural building materials • Building orientation • Landscaping • Parking • Lighting • Property access • Internal traffic circulation • Pedestrian and bicycle facilities • Transit amenities Innovative subdivision and development design techniques will be encouraged if they produce the enduring quality of development sought by the City and achieve other objectives of this Plan. Employment Areas Thriving, well-balanced communities require plen- tiful employment opportunities. Two key objectives of the Land Use Plan are to provide sufficient acre- age for employers and connect more Apple Valley residents to jobs within the City. The City targets household supporting employment (i.e., jobs that pay above the area median income The Fischer Sand and Gravel Mining Area has been guided for this purpose since the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Update. Desirable uses in higher-wage employment ar- eas should consist of office, office-showroom, services, medical, health care, research and de- velopment, and forms of light industrial land use that produce minimal noise, odor, or other forms of pollution. Undesirable uses are those that have high levels of noise, traffic congestion, odor, dust, vibration, lighting, and unmitigated contamination. Retail uses should be limited to 25% at the very maximum of the overall employment area and should be strategically guided to support the pri- mary employment use. Employment areas should have strong connectivity to the Downtown, resi- dential neighborhoods, and transit facilities. The City will adopt policies to guide the use of finan- cial programs and land use controls to attract and expand businesses that achieve these objectives. Natural Resources The natural environment makes a significant con- tribution to an attractive community image and quality of life. A mature urban forest dissipates heat and provides shade from the sun. Wetlands provide habitat for waterfowl and filter storm water runoff. The value of these and other natural fea- tures is not easily quantified. It is important that significant natural features be preserved whenev- er possible, and that artificial alternatives which perform a similar ecosystem service are construct- ed when necessary. Federal regulatory policy pro- tects valuable natural features at a high level, but the City of Apple Valley has also taken steps to protect fragile resources. Focus Areas In the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, two locations receive significant attention. These areas include the Fischer Gravel Mining Area, which will become Orchard Place, and Downtown. Figure 4.1 depicts these areas, which are adjacent to each other. Downtown is and will remain Apple Valley’s com- mercial center, while the focus of Orchard place CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-5Land Use is on high-quality employment. While these areas have different opportunities and constraints for redevelopment, development should integrate a mixture of compatible land uses, a connected grid of “great streets”, and a transit-supportive density. A preliminary step to facilitate this transition is to extend the existing Ring Route east through Or- chard Place, as depicted in Figure 4.1. The follow- ing sections describe Orchard Place, Downtown, the Ring Route, and other aspects of Apple Val- ley’s focus areas in more detail. In 2040, Downtown and Orchard Place will feature a mixture of residential, commercial, and employment uses; a connected grid of “great streets”; and suburban-intensive transit-supportive density. Fischer Sand and Gravel Mining Area and Adjacent Infill Figure 4.2 shows the concept plan for the Fischer Sand and Gravel Mining Area. The master plan, called Orchard Place, designates 262 acres for non-residential, employment-based use. The 2030 Land Use Plan guided most of this acreage as Mixed Business Campus. The area is intend- ed to be a high-quality setting for general office, corporate office, research and development, light manufacturing, and office showroom. The City also has a strong desire to attract health facilities with related offices and clinics to this location giv- en market support for this use. The Mixed-Business Campus District provides flexibility for a variety of business/industry clusters. As of 2017, the Orchard Place site plan illustrates the location of each cluster, and identifies a spe- cific set of land use envisioned for each cluster. The plan sets clear goals for density and floor area ratios (FAR), which establish general parameters to achieve the desired development. FAR require- ments encourage a denser development pattern. In addition to the Fischer Sand and Gravel rec- lamation project, infill development will continue in the adjacent Cobblestone Lake area, located east of Pilot Knob Road. This Planned Develop- ment area is nearing buildout, with construction continuing in 2017. Remaining vacant parcels are planned for multifamily residential development. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-6Land Use Figure 4.2 – Orchard Place Concept CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-7Land Use Economic Development Potential The Metropolitan Council projects that Apple Val- ley will support 17,100 jobs by 2040, an increase of 2,821 from the 2010 Census figure. However, the Economic Development Authority has set a goal of reaching 19,000 jobs. The City recogniz- es a significant opportunity to create high-quality jobs and retain local labor, given that most resi- dents currently work in other jurisdictions. With its emphasis on employment-based uses, Orchard Place will substantially contribute toward this goal. Consistent with the keys identified as part of Ap- ple Valley’s vision, this employment-focused area will help provide a diversity of living-wage jobs and create opportunities for the City’s residents to work closer to home. The Mixed Business Campus land use category is intended to accommodate a mix of approximately 55% to 65% office (1/3 of which would be targeted for health and medical related facilities), 10% to 20% light industry/man- ufacturing, and 10% office showroom or office warehouse. Because the area also includes other mixed uses, high-density housing and incidental retail and service uses could also be considered to a limited extent. Transportation Network The Orchard Place plan is centered around two internal collector roads, Johnny Cake Ridge Road and 153rd Street W/155th Parkway. Johnny Cake Ridge Road bisects the site from north to south, intersecting with 153rd Street W/155th Parkway at a roundabout. These two streets provide the four primary access points to Orchard Place. They are each spaced approximately ½ mile from other sig- nalized intersections. As the City looks to devel- op its east-west transit connection along County Road 42, a future transit station is envisioned at the intersection of County Road 42 and Johnny Cake Ridge Road, at the north entrance to the Or- chard Place site. The City will engage the MTVA to develop future transit services. Additional minor accesses are spaced at intervals of 1/8 mile to 1/4 mile around the perimeter of the site. The 153rd Street W/155th Parkway route is a vital east-west connection to Downtown. This road is a planned extension of the Ring Route. A gas- line easement parallels the road to the south. An internal circulator route complements the primary north/south and east/west routes. Environmental and Recreational Amenities Three large ponds provide on-site storm water management and recreational amenities. The ponds are a practical use for the site, acting to counteract the effects impervious surface runoff and reducing the amount of fill that is needed for development. Apple Valley’s bedrock geology pro- vides natural storm water filtration. The ponds are connected through an internal trail system, three bridges, and two plaza/greenspace areas. One grade-separated trail connection is illustrated across 153rd Street, in the northwest quadrant of the site. Other midblock trail crossings should be explored. Downtown Downtown Apple Valley is located at the com- mercial crossroads of Cedar Avenue (TH 77) and County Road 42. It contains a cluster of large re- tail uses and some smaller offices and services, as well as key institutions (City Municipal Cen- ter), high-density apartments, and some newer mixed-use development. Having developed large- ly during the 1970s and 1980s, Downtown was and continues to be primarily auto-oriented. The quadrants surrounding Cedar Avenue and Coun- ty Road 42 consist of superblocks containing big- box stores and large areas of surface parking. The scope of Downtown continues to evolve in form, use, and density. With the development of Central Village and the Fischer Marketplace, Downtown has expanded to the east. The highlighted Down- town Core on figure 4.1 contains approximately 600 acres. One of the keys of this plan is “successful down- town.” Apple Valley envisions a unique, identifi- able, and thriving downtown. The building blocks are in place. Downtown is located about one of the busiest intersections in the state. It is served by the Red Line BRT, which connects riders to the central metro and other destinations, as well as several local and express routes. In 1990, the City invested in a series of road, sidewalk, and land- scape improvements called the Ring Route, help- ing to further establish Downtown’s identity and CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-8Land Use improve access to the area. There are large areas of surface parking which could be redeveloped for other uses. While Apple Valley will never have a “traditional” downtown, the evolving character of downtown suggests that there will continue to be opportunities for the community to establish a unique sense of place by creating an environment that is more walkable and engaging. A series of factors will shape the future of Down- town: • Big-box retail users are distributed through- out the area. Some of these sites will change hands between now and 2040, perhaps many times. Others may experience site transfor- mations, including reduced store footprints, adaptive reuse, or infill development as the retail market adapts to changing consumer preferences. • The existing travel grid consists of a series of “super blocks” – long, uninterrupted routes designed almost exclusively for vehicles. As redevelopment opportunities arise, some of these superblocks may be broken up to im- prove roadway connectivity and accessibility for other modes. • Cedar Avenue may be viewed as a river. That is, its function is to convey large volumes of continuous traffic flow. As a “river”, the road ef- fectively severs the east and west portions of Apple Valley. A previous planning effort by the American Institute of Architects recognized that Cedar Avenue as constructed prohibits a unified Downtown plan, and recommended a series of self-contained village plans for each quadrant of the Cedar Avenue/County Road 42 intersection. • Rivers need bridges. Cornejo Consulting and LHB Architects, in their 2008 study, Transit-Ori- ented Land Use Planning and Development Evaluation put forward conceptual improve- ments for the intersection of Cedar Avenue and County Road 42. One proposal envisions a grade-separated “lid”/plaza over the inter- section (See Figure 4.3). Any improvements to provide cross-connections across Cedar Avenue faces the complex task of balancing the implications for traffic on Cedar Avenue and County Road 42, transit service, pedes- trian and bicycle safety and mobility, and im- pacts to adjacent land development. If these or similar opportunities arise in the plan hori- zon, the City will work proactively with Dakota County to achieve the best possible results from these improvements. • The METRO Red Line bus rapid transit (BRT) service has been extended along the Cedar Avenue Corridor. The Red Line improvements will alter the form and function of Downtown and may create new development opportu- nities in Downtown. Access to BRT can be a catalyst for commercial, office, and housing development. The growth of regional BRT ser- vice expands the convenience and opportuni- ty of traveling between Apple Valley and oth- er metro-area destinations for employment, shopping, and other needs. • County Road 42 as an east-west transit link. This link is vital to connect the Downtown and greater Apple Valley with the dense concen- tration of jobs that are anticipated for Orchard Place, existing employment near 147th St. W, and the other amenities described above. This plan envisions a future regional transit route on County Road 42, with a conceptual transit station located at Johnny Cake Ridge Road. • Commercial development continues in sur- rounding communities. These commercial areas compete with the market for Downtown Apple Valley as a regional shopping destina- tion. Apple Valley will need to focus on down- town land uses, design features, and other opportunities that will differentiate Downtown from other regional communities.

In 1990, the City built distinctive streetscape improvements that became known as the Ring Route (See Figure 4.1). These improve- CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-9Land Use ments help to define an identity and character for the Downtown area. The Ring Route also serves to provide vehicle access to the Downtown apart from the primary arterials, and separates the pri- mary shopping and service area of the City from the surrounding neighborhoods. The original Ring Route circles 147th Street W, Galaxie Avenue, 153rd Street W, and Pennock Avenue. The Cen- tral Village is located within this area, with a few undeveloped parcels remaining. Apple Valley’s core commercial district has shift- ed to the east with the development of the Fisch- er Marketplace and Central Village. Beyond, the Fischer Gravel Mining Area contains more than 400 acres which will be redeveloped and inte- grated into the downtown fabric. The Ring Route should be extended through Orchard Place in or- der to connect to the future employment area and draw from adjacent multifamily developments. To extend the Ring Route and develop opportu- nities along its perimeter, the City will incorporate similar design and amenities to ensure a consis- tent feel. The focus in this area will be on employ- ment-based land uses – mixed office, medical, and industrial, including the Mixed Business Cam- pus in Orchard Place – with ancillary retail and residential. Developing the intensity of adjacent land uses along 147th Street and 153rd Street will encourage the use of these routes as relievers for traffic on County Road 42. Distinctive streetscape improvements on the Ring Route help de- fine the Downtown area. Sense of Place The results of a public survey conducted in ear- ly 2017 indicates that there is strong support for investments in and redevelopment of Downtown that continue to promote a unique “sense of place.” A sense of place arises from utility, activity, and careful design. The City can use many poli- cy, economic, and design strategies to achieve its Downtown objectives. Survey participants indicated that “dining and re- tail variety” were needed in Apple Valley. Signif- icant mention was also made by the public for a “downtown or focal point” as something needed in Apple Valley. By following the Downtown Design Guidelines as new infrastructure, development and redevelopment opportunities arise, the City will be able to make significant strides towards creating a more unique downtown with dining and retail variety, along with a more definitive focal point (or points). Central Village District The Downtown focus area contains the Central Village, the 60-acre area surrounding the inter- section of Galaxie Avenue and 153rd Street West. This area includes the Shops on Galaxie, Vivo Kitchen, Grand Stay Hotel, RE/MAX office build- ing, Legacy Townhomes, Seasons at Apple Valley, Haralson Apartments, Remington Apartments, and Parkside Village Gabella. Kelley Park, a pop- ular community park and significant neighborhood amenity, hosts Music in Kelley Park throughout the summer and Oktoberfest in the fall. Parkside Vil- lage Galante is currently under construction and a mixed-use senior cooperative building with nearby restaurants, retail and office buildings are expect- ed to be under construction soon. Only a few lots remain for residential and mixed-use commercial development in the area. The vision for the Central Village was to create an area with a unique sense of place by offering a design alternative to the rest of the Downtown: multiple story buildings, with a mix of commer- cial, retail and residential uses placed closer to the street in a compact, pedestrian-oriented form. Vertical mixed use with commercial offices and re- tail on the first floor and residential housing on the upper stories was proposed. The Central Village has been shaped over time by market realities and right-sized for a suburban setting. Full build out of CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-10Land Use the area was slowed by the recession, and the market was slow to accept the mixed-use-within- a-building development form. But as more of the residential developments are completed, the area is becoming the vibrant and active area that was envisioned. The area has accomplished its mixed- use vision, an energetic, sustainable and active place containing a variety of housing types, neigh- borhood commercial uses, live/work units and meaningful green spaces. The City has installed on-street parking and streetscaping improvements that will allow driv- ers to park in the Central Village area and walk the district. To maximize “dining and retail variety” opportunities in this area, the existing street im- provements can be taken advantage of through the promotion of ground-floor commercial retail development on vacant land. To further promote the Central Village as a “focal point”, new devel- opment should be built to the sidewalk to enhance pedestrian interaction with the street and to make the area unique. The City can take positive design concepts from the Central Village and build on them throughout the Downtown. As a first step, the City will adopt and implement a series of Downtown Design Guidelines. The Shops on Galaxie. Mixed Use The City desires more mixed-use development in Downtown. Uses could be mixed horizontally in building divisions or in separate buildings located close together, or they could be mixed vertically by floors within a single structure. Developers in the Twin Cities metro have begun to gravitate from vertical mixed-use, which poses distinct challeng- es. For example, a development is typically only as successful as the ground-floor use. A develop- ment built on ground-floor retail will suffer if the retail businesses suffer or are forced to vacate. Some ground-floor uses, such as restaurants, may also create bothersome effects (noise, odor) for the residents above. For these reasons and others, the development trend has shifted toward CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-11Land Use horizontal mixed-use throughout the suburban communities of the region. Likewise, Apple Valley encourages horizontal mixed use. However, hori- zontal mixed use is only effective when designed as part of a cohesive site plan that considers both vehicular and active modes of transportation, well connected both internally and externally from the entire site. Transit Supportive Development Apple Valley envisions an inclusive, accessible Downtown that welcomes and engages citizens of all ages and abilities and supports alternative travel modes in addition to private automobiles. This includes transit, walking, and bicycling, as well and targeted improvements that support the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). Two corri- dors, Cedar Avenue and County Road 42, form the backbone of Downtown. The BRT improvements on Cedar Avenue should be leveraged and sup- ported by complementary land use planning and economic development initiatives. The Compre- hensive Plan envisions the expansion of regional transit to County Road 42, which already supports a local bus route. An expanded transit system on County Road 42 would serve new development in Orchard Place, strengthen the east-west link be- tween Downtown and the developing employment areas, and alleviate some traffic on County Road 42, offsetting some of the targeted density in- crease in this area. Typically, this type of integrat- ed approach to developing public transit corridors and adjacent properties is called transit-oriented development (TOD). As a suburban community, Apple Valley wishes to pursue TOD at a “subur- ban-intensive” scale. This term reflects the City’s desire to become denser in key locations served by transit, while acknowledging the realities of its suburban character. Figure 4.4 shows the transit supportive area, which connects Downtown to Orchard Place and extends ¼ mile to ½ mile from Cedar Avenue and County Road 42 and connects Downtown to Or- chard Place. These are walkable distances; how- ever, the existing street systems and land use pattern does not actively encourage pedestrian activity in most areas. Through targeted land use, transportation, and economic development efforts the City can better encourage walking and bicy- cling in Downtown, helping it become more acces- sible and sustainable. Improving multimodal accessibility reinforces sustainability and resiliency goals by reducing vehicle miles traveled and diversifying travel options for commuting and shopping. The focus on multimodal accessibility in the com- prehensive plan reflects the reality of regional transportation opportunities and constraints. As noted in the Metropolitan Council’s 2040 Trans- portation Policy Plan, it is not possible to contin- ue to expand highway capacity in a sustainable way, given the Twin Cities’ expanding footprint and funding limitations. Doing so would only induce more traffic. Therefore, the regional transportation plan is shifting toward a strategy of travel demand management (TDM) versus highway capacity im- provements. Part of TDM involves the application of transit-oriented growth strategies. Transit-oriented development in Apple Valley should be “suburban-intensive” – density will increase in targeted locations, but the sub- urban character of the community will be re- tained overall.

CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-13Land Use Land Use Objectives Within Downtown, Orchard Place, and the transit supportive corridors, the current development pat- tern could change significantly by 2040. In con- trast to residential development, job-related land uses have a tendency to change frequently. Over the 20-year horizon of this Comprehensive Plan, many commercial properties may become struc- turally, functionally, and/or economically obsolete, opening the door redevelopment. Land use pol- icies in this area will be directed to support sta- ble business, target commercial redevelopment opportunities, infill vacant parcels, and increase residential densities. Some properties have been vacant or underperforming for some time. For example, the Times Square commercial site has operated with roughly 50% vacancy for several years. Other large commercial properties, such as the old Rainbow store on Cedar Avenue, remain vacant. Some of these commercial sites may find new life under a different owner or strategic re- development. As available infill opportunities are exhausted, the healthy market will ultimately en- courage revitalization of these areas. The Downtown Focus Area supports a mix of hous- ing, commercial, and job generating uses. Apple Valley supports the following objectives for “subur- ban-intensive” transit-oriented development: • Support job growth where concentrations ex- ist and along regional highway nodes • Provide a complementary mix of land uses to balance housing, employment, service, and retail needs • Locate medium-to-high density housing at a variety of price points • Increase overall density, with the highest den- sity located within ¼ mile of the METRO Red Line and high frequency transit service (ap- proximately 10-minute walk) • Support a system of arterials, local streets, sidewalks, and trails that distributes traffic more broadly and improves opportunities to walk and bike. • Improve parking efficiency by exploring shared parking opportunities, minimum park- ing requirements, and other schemes. Housing should be built at densities of at least 40 units per acre in the Transit Supportive Area. Today, Apple Valley’s zoning code requires a mini- mum of 12 units per acre for high-density residen- tial development. However, recent multiple family residential developments have largely exceeded 40 units per acre, especially in Downtown. Rec- ognizing this trend, the City has established a new residential land use category called “Suburban Intensive High Density” (SIHD) which recognizes the densities in the Central Village Area that have already approved. Most of the recently developed parcels have a density of 40 units per acre. The SIHD is proposed to have a density ranging from 24 to 48 units/acre which better reflects the exist- ing development pattern. The SIHD will help the City to be recognized for the already approved higher density developments. This, in turn, will help the City to achieve its affordability goals. Ul- timately, using this tool, the City is confident it will easily meet the goal of achieving an average of 10 units per acre for the entire area. Walkability A key goal is improving walkability and pedestrian activity. Both the public survey for this plan and previous survey efforts described the difficulty of navigating Apple Valley without a car. A sense of place is difficult to absorb from the automobile. Pedestrian activity leads to social interaction and community health benefits, and has been shown to increase retail sales receipts in many downtown environments. The roads and businesses in downtown require a safe and convenient environment for drivers and pedestrians. Within this environment, the City is committed to examining and implementing tech- niques to make downtown a place that is safe and attractive for pedestrians and bicyclists and where vehicle access makes good business sense. Walkable environments are visually stimulating, higher-density, and tend to have shorter block lengths. Pedestrians will always take the short- est route and short blocks provide more possible routes for them to use. The current configuration of superblocks in Downtown is a deterrent to pe- destrians and bicyclists. Pedestrians always pre- CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-14Land Use fer to take the shortest route, and are deterred by a system of long, orthogonal blocks. Although parking lots are technically navigable on foot, they are neither inviting nor particularly safe for extend- ed pedestrian travel. To fabricate a more walkable environment, the Downtown street grid could be enhanced by adding additional linkages for vehi- cles and pedestrians when redevelopment oppor- tunities present themselves. Figure 4.5 depicts a concept for breaking up the superblocks in the four quadrants of the Downtown core by overlay- ing a new travel grid and enhancing pedestrian access at the Downtown periphery. The new inte- rior streets, shown in purple, are conceptual only. Some of them would require more planning than others. Some might not be new “streets” so much as enhancements of existing parking areas that provide more definition for vehicle or pedestrian circulation. Increasing the density of jobs and households in downtown will promote walkability by increasing the percentage of internal trips (trips that have both origination and destination in the downtown Focus Area/travel analysis zone).

The extension of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) to Apple Valley via the Red Line has already triggered land use changes along the Ce- dar Avenue Corridor. This transit investment can leverage future transit-oriented development. As a suburban community, Apple Valley recognizes that TOD goals must be practical in scale and intensity – they must be “suburban-intensive.” County Road 42 Corridor County Road 42/150th Street is identified as a po- tential east/west regional transit route. This tran- sit route would be viewed as a supporting route for the Cedar Avenue Red Line, and is crucial for linking the primary future employment area with Downtown and fully integrating the Orchard Place Plan into the existing urban fabric. The City envi- sions a future transit station at the intersection of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and County Road 42. Apple Valley will engage with neighboring juris- dictions, including Dakota County, as well as the MVTA to expand transit services within this cor- ridor that support development objectives for Or- chard Place. Transit Station Planning Nodes There are three transit stations located in the Ce- dar Avenue corridor, and a conceptual future tran- sit station has been identified at County Road 42 and Johnny Cake Ridge Road. These represent nodal opportunities to encourage transit-support- ive land use and discourage uses that obstruct TOD objectives. As redevelopment opportunities arise, the following uses will be encouraged: • Multifamily housing and small-lot residential units • Hotels • Commercial Office Space • Health care clinics and medical offices • Retail services and restaurants Sustainable Community In the 2040 vision for Apple Valley, sustainabil- ity is one of the Keys. The Community Context chapter recognizes the City’s numerous achieve- ments in sustainability. Meanwhile, the Compre- hensive Planning process encouraged a group of like-minded citizens to discuss other opportunities. Clearly, Apple Valley’s leaders and its residents have a common interest in preserving the qualities that make the community great. Any time there are opportunities for development, redevelopment, or retrofits there are opportunities to improve sustainability. Therefore, the two fo- cus areas discussed above – Orchard Place and Downtown – represent the largest opportunities to address sustainability issues through planning and development. Some of the most significant opportunities to practice sustainable design will come through adaptive reuse and redevelopment. Land use planning can guide sustainability in nu- merous ways: • Increase density in key planning areas. Ap- ple Valley has a growing population, limit- ed growth area, and no ability to expand. Therefore, it will become denser. The key to land use planning will be to target this densi- ty in key areas and limit the negative impacts of densification. Increased density will enable Apple Valley to become more sustainable on several fronts. Higher densities encourage walking, bicycling, and transit ridership. In- creasing density by developing successful multistory office, multifamily, and mixed-use structures improves energy efficiency by re- ducing per capita demand. Density increases the retail customer base that local businesses need to thrive. Apple Valley has recently de- veloped many successful multifamily projects around 40 units per acre. While residential is not intended to be the primary use in Down- town or Orchard Place, most of the infill res- idential opportunities identified in the future land use plan are planned for similar densi- ties. Increasing density is not just a goal of suburban retrofits, but usually a prerequisite – adding density generates the return on in- vestment that is needed for redevelopment to be viable. • Encourage reduction/retrofits of underper- forming paved surfaces. One of the effects of increased density is that it coincides with a reduction of paved surface. In Apple Valley’s CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-16Land Use Downtown, a substantial amount of paved surface is used for parking. Some of this space could be put to better use. Asphalt is an “underperforming” use – it allows rainwater to absorb oil, fertilizer, and other chemicals be- fore making its way into the drinking supply; it radiates heat; and it represents an opportuni- ty cost, generating no tax revenue of its own. Apple Valley can reduce the amount of paved surface by adjusting its expectations for new development and by encouraging adaptive reuse for existing development. Various per- meable pavers can be encouraged as a more sustainable alternative to asphalt. • Use best landscaping practices to improve water cycling. The application of landscap- ing techniques for stormwater management, such as rain gardens and bioswales, can off- set some of the effects of impermeable pave- ment, described above. Apple Valley has used these techniques effectively in the past. Ex- tending their application in Downtown will im- prove drainage and enhance the appeal to the built environment. Raingardens should be ap- propriately located and designed to produce best effects. • Increase local and regional transit rider- ship. The extension of the Red Line to Apple Valley has opened new development opportu- nities in the Cedar Avenue transitway. Direct transit service can increase property values, which, in some cases, may facilitate redevel- opment. Apple Valley can support regional rid- ership by addressing the “last-mile” problem and improving access to the Red Line. One strategy is to improve pedestrian connectivi- ty and safety in Downtown and enhance pe- destrian crossings at Cedar Avenue. Further, the City will extend the Ring Route, improving access between Downtown and surrounding neighborhoods. Finally, the City would like to expand transit service on County Road 42. This connection would be an integral compo- nent of Orchard Place. With a strong transit network in place, more opportunities will arise for “suburban-intensive” TOD, particularly within the Accessibility Focus Area. With a focus on transit and supportive development, Apple Valley will endeavor to reduce its car- bon footprint. • Develop renewable energy systems. The biggest impact Apple Valley can make to re- duce its carbon footprint is to develop its re- newable energy systems. The State of Minne- sota has set a goal of 50 percent renewable energy by 2030. This initiative encourages competition in the private sector and between communities in their efforts to become more sustainable. There are numerous opportuni- ties to develop renewables in Apple Valley’s public and private sectors. The City will eval- uate its use of land use controls to protect ac- cess to solar and encourage solar installation by residents. Likewise, the City will encourage electric vehicles by providing sufficient plug-in locations. Electric vehicles could be incorpo- rated as part of a broader sustainable trans- portation strategy – for example, by develop- ing a circulator between the Red Line and the Minnesota Zoo. Adaptive reuse and redevel- opment will provide additional opportunities to improve energy efficiency. Renewable energy potential should always be evaluated for rede- velopment projects. The Great Plains Institute performed an assessment of the local energy system, which will be used to develop more specific energy goals. This assessment is ap- pended by reference, and is available from the City upon request. 2040 Land Use Plan The 2040 Land Use Map identifies a future land use for every parcel in Apple Valley. Significant new development and redevelopment is antici- pated to occur in the focus areas described in the preceding text. However, the exact location and orientation of that development is not presently known. Parcel boundaries will change as the re- tailers come and go. Large superblocks may be subdivided. Figure 4.6 shows the parcel-based land use plan for 2040. Table 4.1 provides the total acreage for each use. Individual uses are described in the fol- lowing text.

A variety of residential uses are required to meet the diverse needs of Apple Valley residents. Apple Val- ley uses low-, medium-, and high-density residen- tial to provide different functions, and strives for an appropriate distribution of these uses to meet the current and forecasted needs and desires of the community. The following text and tables summa- rize the intent of each residential use, both indi- vidually and within the broader land use context. A fuller description is included in the Future Land Use Plan. Housing is discussed in greater detail in Chapter 5. Low Density Residential (LD) Use type examples: Single-family detached homes, duplexes, twin homes, townhomes Low Density Residential (LD) broadly consists of single-family, detached dwellings. This is the sin- gle largest land use in Apple Valley. A large base of owner-occupied homes promotes neighborhood stability by reducing resident turnover and encour- aging homeowner investment in private property. Low-Density Residential (single-family residential) is the most restrictive zone. Limiting conflicts with high-intensity uses ensures that property values are protected over time. Protected property values help maintain stable neighborhoods and directly benefit local citizens through contributions to the municipal tax base. Low Density neighborhoods benefit from a variety of services and institutions, including parks, play- grounds, schools, religious institutions, and ap- propriate-scale commercial. A system of safe and well-designed sidewalks and trails is essential to connect with schools, parks, downtown, and other destinations in the community. A variety of housing types may be built in Low Density Residential areas including single-family detached dwellings, duplexes, twin homes, town- homes, and other types of attached housing. In the past, housing densities ranged from one-half to 6 units per acre. Today, the Land Use Plan plac- es housing densities in Low Density Residential areas at 2-6 units per acre. However, the City recognizes that in some cas- es of infill development when there are severe slopes, mature trees, lakes, wetlands, or existing adjacent residential neighborhoods, it may not be practical to meet the density standard. The City will use the zoning ordinance and other land use controls to manage this land use cate- gory. Most existing single-family residential neigh- borhoods are zoned R-1, R-2, R-3 or R-CL. Addi- tionally, the R-5 (two-family); M-1, M-2, and M-3 (multiple-family), and PD (planned development) CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-20Land Use districts are eligible for this land use category pro- vided that the performance criteria set forth in the zoning ordinance are met. Medium Density Residential (MD) Use type examples: Duplexes (side-by-side or stacked), carriage houses, triplexes, fourplex- es, bungalow courts, townhomes Medium Density Residential (MD). Nationwide, alternative single family living options are increas- ingly becoming an attractive option for aging baby boomers seeking a transition to a living environ- ment that offers independence without the main- tenance requirements and property tax bill asso- ciated with conventional single family detached housing. In addition, medium-density residential typically provides housing at a lower price point than low-density residential and helps enable the City to meet its share of regional affordable hous- ing requirements. Medium Density Residential land uses include townhomes, other attached single-family dwell- ings, and low-rise apartments and condominiums at densities that range from 6-12 units per acre. This designation fits with the M-4, M-5, M-6, and PD zoning districts. High Density Residential (HD) Use type examples: Courtyard apartments, cottage flats, conventional apartment building complexes High Density Residential (HD) consists of at- tached multifamily housing. The City benefits from high-density development by capitalizing on efficiencies in the provision of infrastructure, services, and attached-building construction, and the increased concentration of taxpayers per unit area. High-density residential neighborhoods ben- efit from proximity to services such as shopping, transit, daycare, recreation, and other similar uses. Retail shopping centers and service provid- ers likewise benefit from a dense local customer base. Providing these uses near to high-density residential leads to mutual efficiencies and lessens dependence on private vehicles. High-density res- idential developments should be located where services are currently available and convenient or are expected to be in the future. Linking people to jobs and services is critical. High-density developments can be leveraged for economic development purposes and suburban transit-oriented development. As such, they are frequently located on high-volume arterial cor- ridors with access to retail and services. Often, high-density residential is considered as a “use” buffer between lower-density residential and high- er-intensity commercial or industrial uses. This goal is rational in theory, but care should be taken to ensure that undesirable impacts are not ineq- uitably offloaded onto a greater number of resi- dents. Buffer treatments, including landscaping and building/site orientation, can minimize the impacts of light, noise, and traffic on high-density areas. The strategic location of a row of garages, for example, can shield apartments from the noise and activity of a nearby highway. High Density Residential areas include multi- CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-21Land Use ple-family structures (apartments and condomini- ums) at densities greater than 12 units per acre to the extent allowed by the zoning ordinance. Developments with densities of up to 40 units per acre are allowed in the areas within and adjacent to the downtown if certain performance standards in the zoning code are met. The HD designation fits with M-7, M-8, and PD zoning districts. High Density Residential requires additional provision of parking, infiltration, and buffering from incom- patible uses. Building setback, bulk requirements, lot-coverage requirements, and parking require- ments are outlined in the zoning code. Suburban Intensive High Density Resi- dential (SIHD) Use type examples: Multiple story apartments, condominiums and cooperative complexes Suburban Intensive High Density Residential (SIHD) consists of sites that the City has approved for densities greater than 24 unit/acre and most often average 40 units/acre. SIHD is located ad- jacent to the METRO Red Line transit stations and takes advantage of the products and services conveniently located in the Downtown. The SIHD designation does not increase the density of the parcels shown, but rather recognizes the densities already approved by the City. This land use des- ignation is served with a PD zoning designation. Manufactured Housing In the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update, the City is creating a new land use category called “Man- ufactured Housing” to recognize and maintain the two existing manufactured neighborhoods in Apple Valley. The two neighborhoods are located adjacent to Cedar Avenue in the north end of the community and may face redevelopment pressure over the course of this plan, especially if connec- tions to transit services are improved. The City intends to maintain the two neighborhoods to en- sure unsubsidized affordable housing is available in Apple Valley. Commercial Land Uses and the Downtown Commercial Use type examples: Retail, office, and ser- vice-related uses The Commercial (C) designation includes a wide variety of retail, office, and service uses that vary in intensity and off-site impacts. The City uses the zoning ordinance to regulate the intensity and characteristics of development. Lower-intensity districts include Limited Business and Neighbor- hood Commercial. Higher-intensity districts in- clude General Business and Retail. In each dis- trict, land use and performance standards set parameters for development. Examples include parking, building setbacks, infiltrations, site ac- cess, and lot coverage. The following descriptions provide guidance on the type, character, and location of commercial land uses. Limited Business Use type examples: General office and non-re- tail businesses (e.g. medical offices) The limited business designation is reserved for general offices and businesses that exclude retail activities. Business operations usually occur with- in an enclosed building and are generally limited to weekdays. These uses are located adjacent to the retail core of the downtown and may act as a transition to residential neighborhoods. The LB, LB-1, and PD zoning districts are applicable with CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-22Land Use this commercial category. Applicable performance standards include: • High-quality site and architectural design. Building materials are expected to promote pleasing off-site views of the development. • Buffering and screening to the residential land uses is limited to the parking areas and deliv- ery areas due to limited off-site impacts asso- ciated with limited business uses themselves; • Landscaping shall consist of aesthetic treat- ment to complement existing vegetation re- tained on the site, and to enhance building design and soften parking lot areas. • Significant traffic attracted by the site develop- ment shall be generally limited to the morning and evening peak hours with modest levels of off-peak activity. Weekend traffic impacts should be minimal. • Driveway access points to the use shall be from non-local streets or those designed for primarily non-residential traffic. No direct ac- cess to County Road 42 or Cedar Avenue shall be allowed, except as permitted by Da- kota County. • Lighting is limited to parking lot, sign and building illumination designed for customer and employee safety with attention to impacts to adjacent residential uses. General Business Use type examples: Large commodity busi- nesses (e.g. car dealership) General business uses are larger commodity re- tail services that primarily serve private other busi- ness and industrial needs as well as residents. These uses have the potential to create off-site impacts and may not be appropriate adjacent to residential neighborhoods the GB and GB-1 zon- ing districts accommodate commercial uses with- in this land use category. Applicable performance standards include: • High-quality site design and building materials are expected to be used to promote pleasing off-site views of the development. • Buffering and screening of loading dock and delivery areas from adjacent land uses should be provided due to noise and activity within these areas. • Landscaping shall be used to provide interrup- tion of long building walls and to soften park- ing lot areas. • Traffic impacts are not expected to be as sig- nificant as those created by large uses in the Retail district. However, freight traffic is char- acteristic of uses in this land category. Space for truck maneuvering should be planned for these uses. • Driveway access points to the development shall be from non-local streets or those de- signed for primarily non-residential traffic. Direct access should be limited to roadways planned and designed for heavy vehicles. No direct access to County 42 or Cedar Avenue shall be allowed, except as may be permitted by Dakota County. • Lighting is limited to parking lot, sign and building illumination designed for customer and employee safety. Loading and delivery areas shall be screened from off-site views. Retail Retail uses typically encompass the tradition- al community shopping businesses and occupy much of the downtown area. This commercial land use is intended to accommodate a wide range of goods and service retailers. Off-site impacts in- clude activity, light, noise, and generally higher traffic impacts than other commercial uses. Res- idential developments are not allowed within this land use category except for those planned in conjunction with a planned development (PD), or within the upper floors of multi-level buildings as a conditional use to ensure that impacts are miti- gated. Retail land uses will be zoned RB, SC, and CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-23Land Use PD. Applicable performance standards include the following: • High-quality site and architectural design and building materials are expected to be used to promote pleasing offsite views of the develop- ment. • Development in the downtown area shall ad- here to the Downtown Design Guidelines; • Landscaping shall be installed to provide aesthetic treatment of buildings and to soften parking lot areas; • Significant traffic impacts during the week- day and weekends is associated with retail development. Traffic studies may be required in conjunction with the review of large devel- opments or high traffic-generating uses that have the potential to threaten the integrity of the existing and planned roadway system. Developments that lower the level of service on adjacent roadways or intersections may be required to install traffic improvements to improve the level of service to its pre-devel- opment condition if City approval is granted. • Driveway access points to the development shall be from non-local streets or those de- signed for primarily non-residential traffic. No direct access to County Road 42 or Cedar Avenue shall be allowed, except as may be permitted by Dakota County. • Lighting is limited to parking lot, sign and building illumination designed for customer and employee safety. Neighborhood Service Use type examples Neighborhood market, drug store These uses are defined as limited commercial ar- eas that accommodate the opportunity for a lim- ited amount of convenience retail shops such as grocery and drugstores; residential services such as dry cleaning and daycare; and accessory small offices. These areas are zoned RB and NCC. Ap- plicable performance standards include: • High-quality site and architectural design and building materials are expected to be used to integrate development into surrounding neigh- borhoods. • The scale of development is expected to be limited in size to complement adjacent devel- opment and designed with a residential char- acter. • Parking and delivery areas should be limited to non-residential sides of the development to remove off-site impacts of noise and activity. No uses with drive-up windows shall be al- lowed if they can’t be located/buffered away from residential areas. • Landscaping shall consist of buffering of adja- cent residential uses from parking areas and aesthetic treatment of buildings. • Traffic impacts from development are intend- ed to localized, as opposed to trips from other community or subregional markets. • Driveway access to the development shall be directed away from residential homes. • Lighting is limited to parking lot and building illumination designed for customer and em- ployee safety. Building and parking area light- ing shall not be allowed during the time the businesses are closed. • Given its proximity to residential areas, hours of operation of the use(s) shall be limited. Industrial and Mixed Business Employment Areas As explained in the Community Context chap- ter, Apple Valley has a relative lack of high wage (above the hourly metro average) job opportuni- ties. Therefore, it is important to designate prop- erty for the creation of jobs and to expand oppor- tunities for people to live and work in Apple Valley. An overarching vision for the land use plan is to provide opportunities for higher-wage business- es and workers to thrive. The land use plan does this by identifying ample areas that could be de- veloped or redeveloped for business and employ- ment purposes, including manufacturing facilities, office space, research and development sites, and medical and healthcare facilities. The Industrial (IND) and Mixed Business Campus (MBC) dis- tricts accommodate many of these uses, and help solidify the City’s economic base. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-24Land Use Industrial (IND) Use type examples: Goods manufacturing, processing, warehousing Industrial (IND) allows offices, assembly, ware- house, manufacturing, and other similar activities within an enclosed building to limit the amount of dust, noise, odor, and other adverse impacts. The current zoning district categories that regulate in- dustrial uses include I-1, I-2, BP and PD. Perfor- mance standards in the Industrial district include the following: • High-quality site design and building materials are expected to be used to promote pleasing off-site views of the development • This land use designation shall not be locat- ed adjacent to residential land uses without a significant buffer, which consists of distance, berming, heavy landscaping, decorative fenc- es/walls, or a combination thereof as deter- mined by the area characteristics deemed ad- equate by the City. Loading and delivery areas shall be screened from off-site views. • Landscaping shall consist of aesthetic treat- ment to provide interruption of long building walls and to soften parking lot areas. • Exterior storage of materials and equipment shall be completely enclosed, or screened from all property lines by a fence or wall. • Personal vehicle traffic impacts from develop- ment are not expected to be significant com- pared to other retail land use categories. How- ever, heavy freight vehicles are characteristic of uses in this land use category. Space for truck and vehicle maneuvering needs to be planned for these uses. Weekend trip attrac- tion to industrial sites should be minimal. • Driveway access to the development shall be from non-local streets or those designed for primarily non-residential traffic. No direct ac- cess to County Road 42 shall be allowed. • Lighting is limited to parking lot and building illumination designed for employee safety. Mixed Business Campus (MBC) Use type examples: Research and develop- ment, office park, hospital Mixed Business Campus (MBC) areas are intend- ed to be high-quality settings for office campus, office with light industrial, office with biomedical manufacturing, health care facilities, health care training, general office, corporate office, and other higher-intensity employment uses. Mixed retail and commercial service uses that serve the campus and adjacent neighborhoods will be limited in area and to activities that support the employment objectives of the MBC. Some ex- amples of supportive uses include lodging, restau- rants, daycare, banking, and other retail uses that may support the campus directly as well as adja- cent neighborhoods. Such uses should generally be located along County Road 42. The mix of uses in the MBC district includes the following: • 55%-65% office • 10-20% light industry/manufacturing • 10% office warehouse/showroom • 5% commercial and retail uses As part of the interest in creating mixed-use devel- opment, higher-density housing along 153rd Street and generally south to 157th Street would also be considered to complement the most intense office, health, and industrial uses. Multi-family housing could be developed upwards of 40 units per acre and constitute up to 20% of the district total. This modeling is further discussed in the Economic Development Chapter, which references land use percentages, FAR ratios, and job-creation goals. Mixed Use (MIX) Use type examples: Live/work units, planned unit development Mixed Use (MIX) areas contain a mix of retail and service businesses, office, institutional, medium and high-density residential, public uses, and/or park and recreation uses. The uses may be mixed CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-25Land Use vertically in a common structure or horizontally in a common, well-defined site or area. Apple Valley’s objectives for Mixed Use are as fol- lows: • Organize land in a compact and walkable en- vironment • Ensure that Mixed Use PD site plans include strong, well-defined internal and external mul- timodal connections, especially for pedestri- ans and bicyclists. • 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, and which promote pedestrian activity in Mixed Use districts. • Integrate green/open space into Mixed Use areas. • Improve environmental conditions, such as water quality and energy use, through devel- opment incentives. • Connect Mixed Use areas to public facilities, including transit systems, and to the broader community. Mixed Use will be implemented through PD zon- ing. The City will also use design standards and other land use controls to achieve the desired out- comes. Currently, only two parcels in the Central Vil- lageare designated MIX. The City intends to use the suburban intensive high density designation in areas already approved for high density multiple family development I the Downtown. Mixed Use may be applied in the future in other parts of the Downtown Focus Area and/or the Cedar Avenue Development Corridor to facilitate redevelopment. Parks, Institutions, and Open Space Institutions (INST) Use type examples: Schools, religious institu- tions, libraries, civic buildings. Institutions (INST) are public or quasi-public ame- nities, excluding parks, that greatly impact the character of the community. Although public uses require public investment or donations and do not generate taxes of their own, the value of these amenities is reflected by increasing the value of surrounding properties. Schools, hospitals, and places of worship give neighborhoods definition. These uses are a source of community pride. They drive residential property values and neighborhood reinvestment. Apple Valley citizens are proud of their strong public school system. The largest institution is the Minnesota Zoo, which is an asset for the entire Twin Cities region. Government facilities are a prime example of insti- tutional uses. The City Municipal Center, the Da- kota County library, the Dakota County Western Services Center (WSC), and the US post office, etc., should be all concentrated in Downtown Ap- ple Valley to best serve the community. The City seeks to maximize the local benefits of regional park and institutional uses while avoiding expansion or changes in use that have a signifi- cant negative impact on adjacent residential prop- erties. Undesirable impacts include traffic, light, and noise. Buffering techniques should be incor- porated into the designs of planned institutional and similar land uses that are located adjacent to residential uses. The implementing zoning districts for institutional properties are the P-Institutional District and the Planned Development (PD) district. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-26Land Use Parks (P) The Parks (P) designation is applied to all existing public parks, public playfields, trail corridors, and golf courses. Trails are connecting elements, not zones. Property that is intended for park purposes in the future is depicted on the 2040 land use plan map. Future neighborhood parks that result from subdivision development have not been depicted on the map since the exact location of the park will not be known until development occurs. The need and area of future parks are discussed in the Parks Chapter. The provision of parks associated with development require an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan at the time of development review. The zoning districts that accommodate parks are the P-Institutional District and PD. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-27Land Use Private Recreation A distinction is made between publicly-owned and privately-owned open space. The Apple Valley Golf Course is designated as Private Recreation (PR) to differentiate it from the public park system. The Plan recognizes that the property owner is likely to seek a land use change when the value of selling the land for development exceeds the current revenues received from the golf course. Any change in land use will be reviewed carefully to ensure the proposed new development is com- patible with the with the surrounding area and the overall development plans and vision for Apple Valley. The current Institutional zoning designa- tion best reflects the present use and numerous alternative uses may be allowed in the future. The course is surrounded by Low Density residential neighborhoods which will have an interest in any land use change or proposed development. Com- mercial uses are generally not encouraged unless the uses are integrated in the overall development in a mixed-use, PD-style design. Water/Pond Existing lakes and storm water ponds are desig- nated as Water/Pond (W) on the 2040 land use map. The shoreland around Alimagnet, Farquar, and Long Lakes are regulated by a zoning overlay district, which is shown as Shoreland District-SH on the zoning map. Other waterbodies including wetlands and waterways are not designated on the 2040 land use plan but are depicted on maps included in the City’s Stormwater Management Plan. Phasing Plan The City of Apple Valley is expected to grow un- til it is fully developed by 2040. Apple Valley is required to provide a development phasing plan that demonstrates the City is capable of provid- ing necessary services and infrastructure to ac- commodate future growth, and that it can meet its 10-year growth forecasts as well as its affordable housing allocation. Figure 4.8 depicts the develop- ment timeline for Apple Valley. Note that Orchard Place will be completed in stages, with most of the development occurring over the latter half of this plan. Other vacant/infill parcels are expected to be developed over the course of the plan.

The table totals are not exactly equivalent due to rounding and the GIS clipping method that was used to extract Dakota County parcels within city limits. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-30Land Use Table 4.3 provides a detailed phasing summary of planned residential growth. A range of growth is given based on the minimum and maximum den- sity for each type of residential use. In total, the minimum projection is 1,831 additional housing units, and the maximum projection is 4,448 hous- ing units. As of 2017, the estimated total number of units was 21,745. Met Council forecasts 24,900 households for 2040, a difference of roughly 3,155 units. Apple Valley is expected to meet its house- hold forecast if housing is developed at moder- ate-to-high densities in the Downtown Opportunity Area. Currently, most high-density housing is be- ing constructed at a minimum density of 40 units per acre in the Downtown. This trend is expected to continue, which is the main reason the City cre- ated a new land use designation, Suburban Inten- sive High Density, with a range of 24-48 units per acre. Expansion of high-density housing will en- sure that Apple meets the household forecast as well as the affordable housing requirement.

Policies Prioritized consideration will be given to development proposals that reflect the community needs and desires expressed in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Plans that do not meet a significant need will be critically reviewed. All new housing developments will be located within one-half mile of a park and connected to the park by sidewalk or trail. Multi-family developments that are not located within one-half mile of a park must incorporate a practical recreation area into their site design. Goal 4.2 Land use conflicts are minimized to maintain the functional integrity of distinct uses and individual property values. Policies Utilize local land use controls to cluster like uses and physically separate or buffer incompatible uses. In general, excessive light, noise, and activity should be directed away from residential neighborhoods. The City will review the degree of potential land use incompatibilities based on the objective analysis of potential impacts associated with the specific uses proposed. Non-residential parking areas may not be located adjacent to residential uses unless a proper buffer is created. The face(s) of buildings containing a drive-up facility (such as a bank teller window) may not be located adjacent to a residential use unless a suitable buffer is approved. Adequate buffers should be provided, where feasible, to separate neighborhoods from roadways that carry significant traffic volumes. Goal 4.3 Apple Valley is a community with strong, cohesive, identifiable neighborhoods. Policies Community assets such as schools, community centers, historic buildings, parks, and religious institutions are integral to their neighborhoods and should be maintained in a good state of repair, leveraged for outreach opportunities, and expanded as necessary. The City of Apple Valley encourages and supports local neighborhood associations. Zoning, buffering, subdivision regulations, and design guidelines should promote unified neighborhood design. Goal 4.5 Apple Valley’s land use plan connects residents to jobs and services. Policies High-density residential development will primarily be oriented in and around the Downtown and along high frequency transit corridors, where it is best supported by transit, shopping, daycare, recreation, and other services. The City will look for opportunities to mix residential and commercial land uses when appropriate. Mixed uses may occur in common structures and in common areas. Projects should be designed to integrate residential units with commercial uses in a cohesive site plan or building, as warranted. Goal 4.6 Apple Valley will attract and retain businesses that provide wages above the metro-area average and benefits which can sustain a family. Policies The Land Use Plan will be guided to encourage manufacturing, finance, information/technology, medical, bio-medical, and healthcare-related busi- nesses to locate in Apple Valley. Mixed-business areas are encouraged to accommodate non-retail commercial development necessary to attract higher-wage businesses. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-32Land Use Goal 4.7 A vibrant, successful Downtown is the primary shopping, service, and activity center in Apple Valley. Policies The City will review and amend design guidelines for downtown, and refer to these guidelines to implement the community vision for downtown Apple Valley. Encourage taller buildings and more compact site designs Downtown to make the best use of existing infrastructure, facilitate redevelopment, in- crease the tax efficiency of Downtown parcels, and increase opportunities for pedestrian and bicycle access. Increase the number of residents in the Downtown Focus Area to promote activity throughout the day and increase the rate of internal trip capture. Downtown should have strong pedestrian, bike, and auto connections to transit services and facilities. Strip commercial developments along the major roadways extending from Downtown are discouraged. Financing incentives are primarily directed to the Downtown and includes the Commercial Center and the Employment Center. REHABILITATION AND REDEVELOPMENT Goal 4.8 The City provides a flexible framework to encourage property maintenance and facilitate infill redevelopment and adaptive reuse to sustain an attrac- tive environment and prevent the creation of blight. Policies Development of single vacant residential parcels within residential neighborhoods must be compatible in use, size, and scale with adjacent proper- ties Improvements to existing homes should be compatible in use, size, and scale with adjacent properties. The City uses strategic infill development and redevelopment to improve underutilized properties and neighborhood cohesion, and address housing supply issues. The City will review zoning policies that restrict opportunities for redevelopment and reuse of vacant and underutilized parcels, and pursue amend- ments where necessary. The City will encourage redevelopment when properties are no longer cost-effective to maintain. As needed, the City will establish redevelopment/rehabilitation programs to guide efforts for City involvement in projects. The City will actively monitor the condition of existing buildings for signs of deterioration and to guide public actions in code enforcement, mainte- nance, rehabilitation, foreclosure response, and redevelopment. The City will actively explore options for the replacement of housing units that are displaced by redevelopment or disaster with a similar type, cost, and density of housing within the community, and preferably within the same neighborhood. Parcel redevelopment efforts will target aging facilities and underperforming properties as property owners are ready to redevelop. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-33Land Use TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT Goal 4.9 The City will use “suburban-intensive” transit-oriented development to increase appropriate housing opportunities and support a compatible mix of residential, retail commercial, and other commercial uses. Policies The City will encourage higher density housing and employment-based land uses that are located within ¼ mile of the Cedar Avenue transitway and the conceptual Country Road 42 transitway. The City will plan for an orderly, compact mix of residential, commercial, and employment uses around transit station nodes, emphasizing walkable connections between sites. Goal 4.10 Downtown development and redevelopment will enhance walking and bicycling in Apple Valley. Policies When opportunities arise, the City will create new linkages for roads, trails, and sidewalks in Downtown to break up the existing patterns of super- blocks. New and improved linkages to transit corridors will be designed to foster an inviting experience for pedestrians and bicyclists. Goal 4.11 The City will manage parking supply to reduce the amount of unused surface parking. Policies The City will encourage opportunities for shared parking arrangements, new parking ramps, and other schemes to reduce the demand for excessive/ unused surface parking. The City will evaluate parking requirements for existing commercial uses and actual parking demand for existing commercial development and will adjust requirements if necessary. INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS Goal 4.12 The City will maintain a cooperative relationship with other governmental, quasi-governmental, and other non-profit organizations that serve the com- munity to advance the vision for Apple Valley, and ensure that the focus of programs, facilities, and specific land uses are reflective of Apple Valley’s needs. Policies The City will share development efforts with Independent School District #196 and Independent School District #191 on an ongoing basis to coordi- nate the appropriate sharing of resources and services. The City will encourage cooperation and participation with adjacent communities and transit providers in the review and development of planning and community development activities. The City will continue to work with Dakota County and regional agencies in dealing with facility or system improvements and programs. The City will partner with State, Regional, and County Economic Development Agencies and foster a positive and supportive role with the Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce and local business organizations. The City will continue to support the Dakota County Historical Society and local efforts of the Historical Committee to preserve historically and/or culturally significant buildings and sites in the community. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 4-34Land Use Energy Goal 4.13 The City seeks to minimize energy waste and increase the role of renewables in the public and private sectors. Policies The City will actively monitor energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions to assess efficiencies on an annual basis. The City encourages developments to make effective and appropriate use of renewable energy sources, including increased use of distributed solar, wind, geothermal evaluation, biogas, and solid waste utilization. The City encourages developments that use recycled materials and/or low-impact materials. The City will protect access to renewable energy sources, including solar and wind, that fit with existing land uses and development patterns, enabling land-owners to choose to self-generate energy. The City will increase energy resilience for critical facilities such as police, fire, and emergency response centers. The City will work to reduce energy demand by educating and incentivizing the public to increase conservation and reduce consumption of electricity and water use. The City emphasizes land and roadway development design that minimizes vehicle miles traveled by reducing trip length and increasing the share of trips taken via public transit, car sharing, or active modes. The City will encourage electric vehicle charging stations where they are needed and appropriate. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 5-1Housing 5. Housing and Neighborhoods The purpose of this chapter is to identify housing needs and to provide a foundation for local de- cision-making to guide residential development and redevelopment efforts in Apple Valley. Ap- ple Valley strives to provide a balanced stock of high-quality housing to meet the diverse needs of existing and future residents. Sufficient, desirable housing is the building block for strong, healthy neighborhoods. Housing is the largest use of land in the City; the character of residential neighbor- hoods plays a significant role in shaping the ev- ery-day experience of Apple Valley residents and helps create a sense of place and belonging. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 5-2Housing Apple Valley residents are proud of their neigh- borhoods and the quality of life they afford. Within the last 10-20 years, targeted development has in- creased the overall diversity of the housing stock. As various demographics grow and change, the City will continue to expand housing choice to meet the needs of different residents. Likewise, the City is committed to providing its regional share of affordable housing. Lack of af- fordable housing is a national issue. The City will continue to encourage affordable housing con- struction through its land use plan and the appli- cation of additional market incentives, and will en- deavor to maintain the quality and price of existing affordable units. The Housing Chapter focuses on Apple Valley’s housing goals and strategies. These goals and strategies respond to public feedback, to the housing and household data that was summarized in the Community Context Chapter, and to docu- mented housing requirements and housing needs, such as Metropolitan Council’s affordable housing requirement and the County Community Develop- ment Agency’s report, Comprehensive Housing Needs Assessment for Dakota County, Minnesota (September 2013). Statutory Requirements State Law requires that the Comprehensive Plan contains a housing element that includes “stan- dards, plans, and programs for providing adequate housing opportunities to meet existing and project- ed local and regional housing needs, including but not limited to the use of official controls and land use planning to promote the availability of land for the development of low and moderate income housing.” (Minnesota Statutes, Section 473.859, Subd.2c) The Comprehensive Plan must also in- clude a housing implementation program that de- scribes “official controls to implement the housing element of the land use plan, which will provide sufficient existing and new housing to meet the lo- cal unit’s share of the metropolitan area need for low and moderate income housing.” (Minnesota Statutes Section 473.859, Subd. 4) Livable Communities Act The Minnesota State Legislature passed the Liv- able Communities Act (LCA) in 1995 to address regional issues of housing balance, affordabili- ty, and development. The legislation established funding to promote efficient development and redevelopment, affordable housing construction, and economic development. Grants are award- ed on a competitive basis to communities which demonstrate a commitment to providing high-qual- ity development, affordable housing, and life-cycle housing. There are 95 participating metropolitan communities, including Apple Valley. Apple Valley has consistently led regionally on attracting hous- ing choices that meet local needs. Existing Conditions Apple Valley is a mature, suburban metropolitan community. Many neighborhoods are comprised of single-family homes built during the 1960s and1970s. The character of suburban develop- ment reflected desires for large properties, good schools, safety, and other amenities – the same qualities that many Apple Valley residents value today. Established neighborhoods are integral to Apple Valley’s identify and sense of place, but also create challenges for new development opportu- nities, infill, and connectivity. The oldest neigh- borhoods are located within a mile of the regional highway system, including TH 77 (Cedar Avenue) and County Road 42 (150th Street). These routes effectively divide the City’s neighborhoods. As the south metro has grown, the increase in traf- fic volumes on these two arterials has introduced negative impacts for adjacent neighborhoods and posed connectivity challenges for the City as a whole. In the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, the development focus shifted toward attached townhomes and multifamily apartments, in response to changing market demand and local efforts to balance the housing supply. This period saw a rise in the num- ber of homeowner associations (HOAs) and the application of Planned Unit Development concepts (PUDs) to facilitate alternative housing styles and build more cohesive neighborhoods. Mid-density and high-density neighborhoods are distributed throughout the city, but tend to be located within CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 5-3Housing and surrounding the Downtown. The Cobblestone Lake neighborhood, which includes a variety of single-family styles, multifamily, and mixed com- mercial, is a prime example of successful PUD application. Following a surge in construction of town homes from 2000-2009, the market for new develop- ment has shifted towards multifamily. Between 2000-2014, 571 single-family detached units were constructed, compared to 756 townhomes and 671 apartment units. From 2015-2017, 160 sin- gle-family units were constructed, compared to 37 townhomes and 224 apartment units. Growth in apartments now outpaces the growth of sin- gle-family homes. This trend is likely to continue, given the demand to increase total housing stock relative to the city’s population forecasts and the limited supply of developable land to do so. The Community Context chapter further summa- rizes the character of Apple Valley’s neighbor- hoods and housing stock. Townhomes offer an alternative housing choice that is suitable for first-time homeowners, including Millennials, and step-down homeowners, such as Baby Boomers. These groups drive market demand for lower-maintenance housing. A complete sidewalk net- work and pleasant streetscaping promote activity and public health in the Cobblestone Neighborhood, above. Construction of multifamily apartments and senior living facilities is surging. The predominant housing type is single-family detached. The Cobblestone Neighborhood features mixed architecture and high-quality landscaping. Manufactured Housing Apple Valley contains two manufactured housing parks, both located within the Cedar Avenue cor- ridor on the north side of the City. Manufactured housing provides viable affordable housing for low-income residents. These manufactured hous- ing parks may face redevelopment pressure over the course of this plan. The City intends to main- tain these areas for manufactured housing and has designated them as such on the Future Land Use Plan. Housing Needs and Opportuni- ties Housing Growth Projections The Metropolitan Council forecasts 24,900 house- holds in Apple Valley for 2040. In 2016, the Coun- cil estimated that the City’s existing housing stock consisted of 20,703 units, with 19,917 households – this implies that 96.2 percent of homes were oc- cupied and 3.8 percent were vacant. Since 2016 considerable development has occurred, with 1,042 units constructed or planned. Therefore, the current number of units is estimated at 21,745. At a minimum, the City will plan for 3,155 new dwell- ing units (24,900 households – 21,745 units). Re- alistically, slightly more units may be constructed to maintain a vacancy buffer of 3-4 percent. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 5-4Housing Infill Opportunities Even with limited land, Apple Valley can accom- modate its forecasted housing growth through infill and redevelopment. Under minimum densi- ty assumptions, Apple Valley can accommodate nearly 40 percent of its forecasted housing growth in Orchard Place and other designated infill sites. Note that Apple Valley’s recent apartment devel- opments are closer to 40 units per acre. Under maximum density assumptions, there is sufficient acreage to accommodate the entirety of forecast- ed housing growth on these sites. Actual develop- ment will likely fall in between these two extremes. Table 5.1 summarizes residential infill potential for Orchard Place and other parcels. The calcula- tions assume 10 percent and 60 percent residen- tial fraction for the Mixed Business Campus and Mixed Use categories, respectively.

The future land use plan for Orchard Place accounts for internal ROW and storm water ponds. Development of other infill sites will not require substantial modifications to existing ROW. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 5-5Housing Redevelopment Opportunities Additional redevelopment opportunities will be tar- geted in the Downtown Focus Area and the transit corridors (See Chapter 4, Land Use Plan). One of the objectives of this plan is to increase residen- tial density in these areas. Doing so will increase activity in the Downtown core and leverage local and regional investments in transit. As this plan is implemented, the City may adopt development targets to guide the overall number of units and residential density in these areas. Accessory Dwelling Units City staff have discussed the possibility of permit- ting accessory dwelling units (ADUs). These units are constructed accessory to the single-family de- tached residential home. It is preferred that they be constructed as an attachment to the primary struc- ture or detached garage. Historically challenged due to concerns about blight and overcrowding, accessory dwelling units are gaining recognition as a practical tool for providing housing options and addressing housing costs. As an accessory unit, they typically do not require additional vehicle access or parking. They can help create additional housing stock in an organic way, without requir- ing new infrastructure to support it. Often dubbed “granny flats”, ADUs can be a good match for 1- and 2-person households, and allow greater flex- ibility for older residents to age in place, rent out their main property, and continue to stay in their neighborhood. Apple Valley’s ordinance does not currently permit ADUs very broadly, but the City recognizes that permitting ADUs could be a practical step at some point, due to the aging population and the limited land supply. If Apple Valley were to permit ADUs, existing owner-occupancy requirements would need to be modified. One way to try this would be to target one area of the city, using a zoning overlay if necessary, and evaluate the impacts of this policy after a year or two. It would also be nec- essary to develop design standards that are ap- propriate for small-scale housing and that respect the existing character and privacy of single-family neighborhoods. These policies need not be built from scratch; there are many examples from other communities. Balanced Housing Supply A balanced housing supply meets the needs of all demographics. Apple Valley strives to provide sustainable supplies of ownership and rental units to meet demand for all market segments. As a general goal, the City housing stock should con- sist of approximately 75 percent ownership units and 25 percent rental units. In 2000, 88 percent of units were owner-occupied. The recent wave of construction helped achieve a better balance. In 2016, 78 percent of units were owner-occupied. Table 5.2 describes the characteristics and pref- erences of various housing markets. Two market segments drive housing demand: In Minnesota and the rest of the United States, the housing mar- ket is driven by young Millennials and an aging population of Baby Boomers (See Figure 3.14, Ap- ple Valley Population Pyramid, in the Community Context chapter.) Baby Boomers have affected every housing trend as they have moved through their life cycle, including the apartment boom in the 1960s and 1970s. Millennials, too, are driving the current market and will exhibit similar influence over the course of this plan. Currently, these two groups tend to exhibit similar housing preferenc- es. As they enter or exit the job market, Millen- nials and older residents generally have limited financial resources compared to the middle-aged demographic with established careers. While most Baby Boomers will prefer to stay in their single-family homes, a portion will downsize to other choices. Across the United States, the rate of homeownership among Millennials has fallen faster than for any other age group. This reality is reflected in the Comprehensive Dakota County Housing Needs Assessment (2013). Compared to the 2005 report, the demand for rental hous- ing is forecasted to increase from 23 percent to 30 percent by 2030. To meet demand, the study fore- casted that approximately 25,000 for-sale units and 10,000 rental units would be constructed from 2010-2030 in Dakota County.

In 2000, 7 percent of Dakota County’s population was over the age of 65. The percentage of seniors increased to 10 percent in 2010, and is projected to increase to 13 percent in 2020 and 17 percent in 2030. From 2010-2030, growth in the 65-and- over age group will be nearly equivalent to growth among all other age groups. Meanwhile, growth in the number of senior households is anticipated to be nearly double the growth for all other house- holds, given the increasing number of one- and two-person senior households. Thus, seniors will comprise an increasing share of demand for low maintenance homes and multifamily apartments in Dakota County, and demand for assisted liv- ing housing will also increase, particularly during the first phase of this Comprehensive Plan. (See Chapter 3, Community Context, for further discus- sion of housing projections for Dakota County and the City of Apple Valley.) While there is no doubt that the region’s popula- tion will grow older over the life of this Compre- hensive Plan, the implications for housing in Apple Valley are less clear. Some aspects of the current housing stock sug- gest potential barriers for the population aging in place. According to County property tax records, 33 percent of the housing supply is classified as containing two stories or two-plus stories. Over 55 percent of all single-family homes, townho- mes, and twin homes contained more than 2,000 square feet of finished living space. Nearly 20 percent contained more than 3,000 square feet. These larger, multi-story homes are not well-suit- ed to the wants or needs of an aging population. Universal Design One way to accommodate the growing senior population is by broadening the application of universal design concepts for new residential de- velopment, rehabilitation and redevelopment. Uni- versal design refers to flexible design of individual units that allows housing to accommodate many occupants with various needs, such as persons with disabilities or families with young children. Nationally, most “accessible” units are built on an individual basis. However, these homes tend to have a specialized, clinical look that reduces re- sale value. Instead, universal design advocates for supportive housing design that is more or less invisible, with the understanding that all users can benefit from simple design improvements that also CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 5-7Housing help people with disabilities. Such design is ac- cessible and barrier-free, and seeks to incorporate consumer products that are commonly available. It is not geared around assistive technology, med- ical equipment, or special features, but enables these features to be accommodated or removed if needed. There is no mandate for universal design, but Apple Valley could benefit by reviewing general guidelines with developers. Example guidelines might include: • Open floor plans • Multiple stepless entrances are encouraged; if only one, it should not be through the garage or a patio/deck • Driveway and garage elevated to floor level so vehicles do the climbing • Wider doors and hallways • Main-floor bedroom, bathroom, and laundry • Turning space of 5-feet diameter in all rooms • Color contrast between floors, counters, and walls/trim • At least one bathroom with a curbless show- er or a tub with integral seat, waterproof floor, and drain These elements are just as supportive for a fami- ly with young children or those with disabilities as they are for aging residents. Encouraging life-cy- cle housing and universal design for new housing stock will enable more senior residents to “age in place” rather than forcing a move from the City. A comprehensive summary of universal design history, goals, and guidelines is available at www. humancentereddesign.org. Apple Valley is committed to providing life-cy- cle housing stock that meets the needs of resi- dents of all ages. Employing concepts of Univer- sal Design enhances the flexibility of individual units to adapt to the needs of various users. Maintenance of Existing Housing Stock Apple valley is an established community. Approx- imately 50 percent of the housing stock consists of units that were constructed between 1960 and 1990. These units constitute the core of the city’s housing stock. As they continue to age, reinvest- ment is needed to address repairs, including ma- jor repairs to roofs, siding, wiring, plumbing, appli- ance, driveways, etc. Maintenance is the responsibility of the property owner – either the owner-occupant or the land- lord. Homeownership encourages maintenance because owners want to mitigate depreciation costs to maximize the value of their investment. However, not all homeowners are willing or able to address maintenance needs. For example, some older residents may choose or be forced to stay in aging single-family homes with less ability to maintain these units. Rental property improvements are the responsi- bility of the landlord. Landlords are incentivized to maintain property in good condition to avoid the cost of vacancy and maximize rental gains. How- ever, landlords may defer maintenance for many reasons. Maintenance of large rental properties is expensive. In addition, the regional demand for af- fordable rental units exceeds supply, so landlords may be able to maintain high occupancy rates even if repairs are neglected. Most of Apple Val- ley’s apartment units were constructed after 1980 and are in fair condition, but investments will be needed to maintain their quality. When repairs are undertaken, the brunt of the cost would be passed on to renters absent additional financing incen- tives. Higher costs increase housing burden and may lead to displacement. Several tools are avail- able to promote maintenance of rental properties and provide stability for tenants. In addition to multifamily rental units, there is a smaller supply of single-family rental units. Sin- gle-family rental units increase neighborhood diversity and protect against vacancy, but pose unique challenges and risks. When a single-family home changes from owner-occupied to rental, this often results in a new landlord who may have lim- ited experience and/or availability to address is- sues with maintenance or tenancy. Neighborhood homeowners may raise concerns about deterio- rating neighborhood stability or property values. It is important to maintain the quality of single-family rental units to preserve neighborhood character and support continued opportunities for home- CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 5-8Housing ownership. The failure to adequately maintain housing reduc- es the livability of individual units. The outward evidence of inadequate maintenance is visual dis- repair. When housing is not well maintained, it de- presses the values of adjacent properties, which discourages neighborhood investment and can lead to blighted conditions. Apple Valley not only benefits from a safe and attractive housing supply, but also realizes growth in the property tax base with reinvestment in existing housing. To maintain neighborhood vitality, Apple Valley encourages property reinvestment and infill of vacant parcels. The City uses GIS to monitor va- cancies and general housing conditions, and com- municates with local mortgage lenders to monitor foreclosures. City staff also maintain contact with landlords, developers, and homeowner associa- tions. Property inspection and code enforcement are the City’s primary means of addressing maintenance. Inspectors notify property owners of compliance is- sues and the steps needed to address them. They are the first point of contact to provide information about funding programs and other resources that can assist property owners with repair. Moving for- ward, the City may need to modify strategies to encourage maintenance, and could consider re- visions to financing policy or local ordinance. The City will proactively inventory neighborhood hous- ing conditions to identify signs of deterioration and prioritize areas for rehabilitation if the need arises. Property inspectors are the first point of con- tact for code issues. Equipping them with a tablet-based GIS application may offer further insight about the quality of neighborhood hous- ing stock and help streamline data collection. Homeowner Associations Many newer developments in Apple Valley in- volve homeowner associations. Homeowner as- sociations are a common arrangement for large Planned Unit Developments, since they help pro- tect the developer’s significant investment against the cost of depreciation. Homeowner associations provide a benefit to Ap- ple Valley in that they reduce operational costs for local government. Homeowner associations are typically responsible for snow removal, repair and replacement of roads, maintenance of common external features such as roofs, siding, and win- dows, as well as any parks, pools, and other parts of common property. Their primary purposes are to provide safe, secure housing, maintain com- mon property, and improve property values. However, HOAs are often challenged to provide these services efficiently and effectively. Not all HOAs have the training they need to provide these services. Some lack volunteer resources, as Board members typically have a full-time job out- side of the HOA. Some HOAs in Apple Valley may be underfunded. Under-funded associations must defer maintenance or increase dues. Aging HOAs may struggle to increase dues commensurate to increasing property maintenance needs, especial- ly if the dues were set artificially low at the time of development to encourage membership. At some point, the physical manifestation of deferred main- tenance affects the value and sale of homes. The most important financial factor for homeown- er’s associations is the creation of reserves need- ed for capital investment. The financial status of HOAs is tied to the health of the housing market. With slower growth, an association realizes lower revenues without a comparable reduction in oper- ating expense. An early draw on reserves could leave an association in a weaker long-term finan- cial condition. This scenario played out during the national recession and housing crisis. If home- owner associations cannot increase dues when the market is poor, there will be lower capital re- serves to make needed future improvements. Like the City, HOAs should have a strategic long-term investment plan. Part of the monthly dues should be reserved to finance future im- provements to common property. The existing financial condition of homeowner’s associations is not known. There is no statutory or local requirement for financial reporting, so there is limited public oversight of HOA operations. In- formation on the financial condition of homeowner CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 5-9Housing associations is important to understanding current issues and working with the associations to pre- vent future problems. Apple Valley encourages regular contact with HOAs serving the community. Affordable Housing Lack of affordable housing is a national issue. Housing is the largest expense for American households. High housing cost is an acute prob- lem for low-income households, which spend proportionally more income on housing and have relatively less remaining income to purchase other necessities. Affordable housing goals seek to ensure that housing options exist at a wide range of prices. The Comprehensive Plan seeks a housing sup- ply that offers a variety of styles and ownership options. Ideally, this objective is achieved by guid- ing residential development at different densities – low, medium, and high – promoting PUDs, and encouraging mixed-use development. However, there are substantial barriers to providing afford- able housing from the developer’s perspective. Developers in Dakota County have expressed concern that it is not always financially viable to construct units at rent levels needed to support af- fordable housing, let alone market-rate housing, given limited availability of land and high devel- opment costs. To make the numbers work, devel- opers may decrease dwelling unit sizes. Although smaller units are generally less desirable, they can be marketed to renters as part of an amenity package that includes on-site and/or offsite as- sets, such as a fitness center, park, or proximity to transit or entertainment opportunities. Affordable Housing Definitions Housing affordability is determined by household income relative to Area Median Income (AMI) and by the percentage of household income that is spent on housing. The Department of Hous- ing and Urban Development (HUD) defines three thresholds for low-income, very low-income, and extremely low-income households relative to AMI: • At or below 30% AMI (extremely low income) • Between 31% and 50% AMI (very low income) • Between 51% and 80% AMI (low income) Households with income in these thresholds are eligible for certain housing assistance programs. For example, households earning 50% AMI or less are eligible for a Housing Choice Voucher. For an owner-occupant or renter household in any of these thresholds, housing is “affordable” if less than 30 percent of income is spent toward gross housing costs, including utilities. A household is cost-burdened if it spends more than 30 percent of income on housing, and “extremely” or “severely” cost-burdened if it spends more than 50 percent of income on housing. Table 5.3 describes the incidence of housing cost-burden in Apple Valley. Nearly 20 percent of renting households earning less than $20,000 are cost burdened. The 2015 ACS estimated there were 844 such households. For renter households earning between $20,000 and $34,999, 14 per- cent were cost-burdened. For owner households, the incidence of cost-burden is less in the lower income ranges, but higher for households earning $50,000-$74,999, indicating that there is a limited supply of lower-priced for-sale homes. Households which spend more than 30 per- cent of their income on housing are defined as cost-burdened. Cost burden affects owners and renters alike, but is an acute problem for low-income renters.

Commuting places additional costs (time + vehicle) on households. Often housing advocates use a cost-of-living in- dex that includes commuting costs. Apple Valley’s Comprehensive Plan aims to reduce the impacts of commuting by linking more households to tran- sit and increasing the local jobs-housing balance. These are the primary objectives for Orchard Place and Downtown redevelopment. In practice, assumptions about AMI and poverty depend on household size. A two-person house- hold with one wage earner may be low-income, while a five-person household that earns equiva- lent income may be very low-income. Therefore, determinations of affordability vary depending on household size and, consequently, on the size of the housing unit. Table 5.4 summarizes affordable rent thresholds for different-sized units for the three income levels defined by HUD. Table 5.4 – Affordability thresholds for rental units NUMBER OF BEDROOMS AFFORD- ABLE RENT AT 30% AMI AFFORD- ABLE RENT AT 50% AMI AFFORD- ABLE RENT AT 80% AMI Studio $450 $751 $1,201 1 Bedroom $483 $805 $1,288 2 Bedroom $579 $966 $1,545 3-Bedroom $669 $1,115 $1,784 4-Bedroom $747 $1,245 $1,992 For owner-occupied units, “affordability” depends on generalized assumptions about down pay- ments, interest rates, and tax credits. For the 2040 Plan, Metropolitan Council has provided af- fordability thresholds for ownership. At 30%, 50%, and 80% AMI, the affordable purchase price is $73,500, $132,000, and $211,500. Above these thresholds, a household that earned 30%, 50%, or 80% AMI would spend more than 30 percent of income on housing costs. Figure 5.1 maps owner-occupied housing units by value relative to $211,500. Figure 5.1 illus- trates data for all owner-occupied single-family residential, town homes, and twin homes. (Man- ufactured housing is not included since there is limited data regarding land lease or the value of manufactured homes. However, the average cost of a new, two-bedroom mobile home is $37,100. It is assumed that most manufactured housing units are affordable, even for households at 30% AMI.) IN 2016, there were 4,079 owner-occupied homes valued under $211,500 and 10,648 homes that were at $211,500 or more. Generally, lower-cost owner-occupied housing is located consists of old- er single-family units or medium-density townho- mes that were constructed more recently.

CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 5-12Housing Apple Valley Affordable Housing Requirement Given HUD’s guidance, the Metropolitan Council has determined the regional affordable housing need for 2021-2030 and allocated a share to each community in the metro. Table 5.5 summarizes the affordable housing objectives for Apple Valley. Table 5.5 – Affordable Housing Needs Allocation INCOME RANGE UNITS SHARE At or below 30 AMI 221 31-50 AMI 118 51-80 AMI 129 Total 468 Affordable Units Since 1996 In 1995, the Livable Communities Act became state law. The Act guides a regional approach to lifecycle and affordable housing development. Originally the horizon period was 1996 to 2010. The period has been extended from 2011 to 2020 for the purposes of establishing goals for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Update. The guiding benchmarks for Apple Valley that lead over time to a livable community encourage 75 percent ownership housing and 25 percent rental housing with a portion being affordable. Through 2006, the private market and partnerships with the Dakota County CDA developed 763 new afford- able ownership and 246 new affordable rental (a total of 1,009 affordable units). Using this perfor- mance as a guide, it appears that the Metropolitan Council Allocation of Affordable Housing Need, 2021 to 2030, of 468 units for Apple Valley, can be achieved by both private market and CDA devel- opment initiatives. New Affordable Housing The City of Apple Valley is committed to meeting its fair share of the region’s need for low- and mod- erate-income housing. The 2040 Land Use Plan designates 19 acres for new housing at medium density, 44 acres for housing at high density, and 24 acres for housing in mixed use. (Table 5.1.) At the minimum density for medium density (6 units/acre), high density (12 units/acre), and mixed use (12 units/acre) these areas will create at least 810 new housing units. Opportunities may arise to provide additional af- fordable housing through redevelopment. The Metropolitan Council criteria for evaluating the Comprehensive Plan is based on the assump- tion that higher-density housing (medium density, high density, and mixed use) provide the minimum density thresholds needed to create the “opportu- nity” for affordable housing. It is true that higher densities are needed to overcome development costs and produce viable developments at market rates or affordable levels. However, simply making land available does not lead to affordable hous- ing. A more active approach is needed to produce and maintain affordable housing. The City pur- sues outside funding sources, grants and loans, and partnerships with the Dakota County Commu- nity Development Agency (CDA) to support local affordable housing initiatives. Local agencies will need to leverage a mixture of deep-subsidy and shallow-subsidy tools to produce the desired num- ber of affordable units within a competitive mar- ketplace. Because rental sites are at a premium, the City promotes mixed-income rental buildings as a way to develop affordable units. Affordable units can also be incorporated through a Planned Unit Development (PD), as will be used for Or- chard Place, since large, mixed-use projects may afford opportunities to indirectly subsidize afford- able units. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 5-13Housing Sustainable Energy for Housing Apple Valley aspires to be a sustainable, resilient community. The City is a Step 3 GreenStep City, but aspires to achieve Step 5 recognition. One of the most impactful changes the City can encour- age is shifting its energy supply from conventional fuels to renewables. The Great Plains Institute es- timates that 46 percent of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are attributable to the residential sec- tor (Appendix I). Apple Valley has become more efficient as its primary energy providers, Dakota Electric and Xcel Energy, have started the transi- tion to renewables. Still, most of the energy that is consumed in the residential sector is derived from conventional fuels, such as coal and natural gas, which are burned for electricity or consumed directly for heating, cooking, and other uses. Nat- ural gas constitutes more than two-thirds of ener- gy consumed by residences. Therefore, there is a substantial opportunity to improve overall energy efficiency by targeting the residential sector. Dakota Electric is the primary electricity provider. There are more than 19,000 electric customers in Apple Valley, and Dakota Electric serves more than 18,000 of them. Notably, Dakota Electric’s transition to renewables has proceeded slower than Xcel’s. The carbon intensity of electricity from Dakota Electric is more than twice that of Xcel Energy. Emissions could fall significantly in Apple Valley if clean energy continues to become more cost-competitive with conventional fuels, but the City has limited influence over large utilities and the policymakers who incentivize them. Apple Val- ley can, however, build up its local clean energy capacity through various mechanisms. For exam- ple, a community shared solar system would give the City greater control over its energy supply, increasing resilience, and could provide multiple co-benefits, including job creation and cost sav- ings. A community-scale solar cooperative could diversify the energy supply, create jobs, and reduce costs. Residential improvements, specifically, can be more easily implemented than large-scale com- mercial/industrial solutions. Small-scale improve- ments in building envelopes/home insulation, furnaces and air conditioners, lighting, and ap- pliances can have a very significant effect. Xcel Energy offers rebates to customers who improve energy efficiency. Only five residences took ad- vantage of this program in 2016. A solar suitability map developed by the Universi- ty of Minnesota illustrates the potential for direct solar energy production in Apple Valley ( See Fig- ure 3.23 in the Community Context Chapter). It is estimated that rooftop solar could generate up to 250,000 megawatt hours per year. Solar potential is highest in the city’s south and east. Many of these neighborhoods were developed in the last decade or two. Solar potential is enhanced be- cause there is greater housing density and there are fewer/younger trees. Studies show that the cost of solar continues to drop. Coupled with po- tential utility, state, or federal rebates, opportuni- ties are increasing for individual homeowners, and owners of rental property, to install rooftop solar. Wind energy is another alternative that can power residents’ homes. Locally, wind potential is much lower than solar. Like solar, the most suitable lo- cation for wind turbines is in the southeast quad- rant of the city. Although there is some potential for local wind production, residents frequently re- sist proposals for wind towers within their neigh- borhoods. A more plausible alternative is sourcing wind power from current energy providers. Resi- dents can subscribe to the following wind energy programs: • Wellspring Renewable Energy program (Da- kota Electric) • Windsource program (Xcel Energy) • Renewable*Connect (Xcel Energy) CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 5-14Housing Goals and Policies Housing Goals The City of Apple Valley seeks to achieve the fol- lowing goals through the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan: 1. Work with the Metropolitan Council, the Dako- ta County Community Development Agency, builders and other involved parties to provide a fair share of the region’s affordable housing. 2. Use the Comprehensive Plan and other re- sources to address community housing needs. 3. Encourage a supply of housing styles and siz- es that lets people of all ages continue to live in Apple Valley; the supply should adapt to fu- ture changes in demographics and meet local labor force needs. 4. Continue to encourage a high standard of property maintenance. 5. Promote quality housing developments that respect the natural environment and resident health. 6. Promote a high level of safety and security for people living in all types of housing. 7. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from res- idences by encouraging wider adoption of re- newable resources by utility companies. 8. Encourage individual homeowners and own- ers of rental housing to increase energy inde- pendence and to minimize energy consump- tion and waste. Housing Policies The City will use the following policies to achieve these goals: Residential Development and Land Use The Planning Commission and City will continue to review all site plans for multiple residential de- velopment, preliminary plats, conditional use per- mits, and rezonings. The City will emphasize proper landscaping, maintenance of landscaped areas, development of compatible architecture and similar amenities that are necessary for a quality living environment. Promotion of housing for low and moderate in- come residents should not be interpreted to mean that the City is relaxing landscaping or proper ar- chitectural treatment of residential developments that could have an adverse effect upon adjacent property values. The City will provide an opportunity to develop a variety of housing types within each neighborhood of the City. The City will continue to review drainage, grading, utility, and similar plans to ensure that the existing environment is properly protected and preserved with the development of each residential subdivi- sion. When appropriate, the City will continue to en- courage Planned Unit Development to provide for a variety of housing types and flexibility in zoning standards. The City will promote residential development that includes amenities such as lakes, parks, vegeta- tion, and similar features. The City will only permit residential development in residentially zoned areas where sanitary sewer, water, and public streets are available. The City supports high density residential housing along transit corridors where convenient access to transportation is available. The City will promote the reasonable incorporation of renewable energy sources in the design of new individual homes and rental properties. Maintenance, Rehabilitation, and Redevel- opment The City will use GIS and other data sources to monitor conditions and trends in the housing stock, including ownership status, values, sales, and improvements. The City will explore ways to protect neighbor- hoods from the negative impacts of foreclosure, including the creation and maintenance of a fore- closure list and maintaining contact with owners, mortgage companies, builders, or other key par- ties. The City will explore ways to monitor and track the condition of homeowner associations. The City will encourage the reasonable modifica- CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 5-15Housing tion of all types of housing to further energy in- dependence, through various means such as roof top solar or geothermal energy. Housing Affordability The City of Apple Valley will continue to work with the Dakota County CDA in order to provide ad- ditional “rental assistance” and “scattered site” dwelling units within the community to secure ad- ditional housing for low and moderate income per- sons as qualified by the Dakota County CDA. The City will continue to work with Federal and State agencies in order to provide new multiple dwelling units that will serve low and moderate in- come persons. The City will continue to follow the goals outlined in the Livable Communities Act, and to update its goals annually. The City supports development that is not more than 20% subsidized. Apple Valley also supports developments that promote on-site or nearby day care, recreation, transit facilities, and similar ser- vices needed to support subsidized housing. Ap- ple Valley promotes the idea that development projects should contain an economic mix within the development itself, as well as be integrated in an economically mixed neighborhood. The City will continue to encourage the devel- opment of multiple family dwellings. These de- velopments will be scattered throughout the City to avoid clustering of low and moderate income housing. Implementation A challenge for implementing the Comprehensive Plan will be monitoring the housing supply and finding appropriate City roles in filling gaps not filled by the market. The Metropolitan Council pol- icies encourage that a lifecycle housing supply in a livable community will support 75 percent own- ership and 25 percent rental housing. From 2000 to 2015, the share of rental units has increased from 13 percent to 22 percent, indicating signifi- cant progress toward achieving regional guide- lines. The Dakota County housing report forecasts that demand for rental housing will continue to in- crease from 2021-2030. Land Use Controls The Land Use Chapter is an essential tool for meeting Apple Valley’s housing needs. The City has successfully used the Land Use Plan with the related policies and official controls to produce liv- able, desirable neighborhoods, diversify the hous- ing supply, and create affordable housing units. As housing needs change, these approaches can be adapted to help meet community objectives. Other Regulations Pursuant to Apple Valley City Ordinance 122, “Residential Rental Property”, either a residen- tial rental property owner or rental manager shall register all residential rental properties with the City of Apple Valley. In the case of a transfer of ownership, change in rental manager, change in the number of rental units, or change in dwelling occupancy from owner occupancy to rental tenant occupancy, the residential rental property owner or rental property manager shall complete and submit a registration form for every residential rental property affected by the transfer. The City will continue to use appropriate regulatory controls to address local housing needs. Collaborative Solutions City government cannot and should not have sole responsibility for meeting local housing needs. The past efforts of the City show that collabora- tive solutions make the best use of all available resources. The City of Apple Valley will continue to work with all stakeholders to create and imple- ment solutions to the needs of Apple Valley resi- dents. Key stakeholders include: • Dakota County CDA. • Non-profit organizations • Lending institutions • Providers of senior housing • Area homebuilders Apple Valley will actively seek and engage other parties with a stake in addressing local housing issues. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 5-16Housing Housing Information Systems A common theme in the Housing Chapter is the evolving nature of housing issues in Apple Valley. A key success factor will be the ability of the City of monitor changes in the housing stock. The City will continue to use geographic information systems (GIS) software for compiling and analyzing data about parcels of property in Apple Valley. Some data that could be in a housing database are: • Potential change in ownership when the tax classification becomes “non-homestead”. • Changes (particularly declines) in estimated market value. • Sale of property. • Condominiums and homeowner’s associa- tions. • Foreclosures. • Building permit data on home improvements. • Assessor’s data. Compiling this data and monitoring housing con- ditions would provide important guidance to staff and policy makers. New GIS applications make it easier to collect, process, and analyze data. For example, the Collector application facilitates col- lection of field data and interfaces with standard GIS desktop software. By adopting this mobile app or another like it and training inspectors to en- ter data directly in the field would streamline data management and improve analytical capacity. Ef- ficient data management usually involves coordi- nation between multiple jurisdictions, such as the City and Dakota County. The City will explore ways to protect neighbor- hoods from the negative impacts of foreclosure, including maintaining a foreclosure list. The City will maintain contact with owners, mortgage com- panies, builders, and other responsible parties about security and maintenance issues, and will explore ways to monitor and track the condition of homeowner’s associations. Finance Tools There are a variety of regional, state, and federal housing finance programs. The number and focus of these programs changes over time. It is useful for the City to understand the types of programs available, but such information becomes outdated in the Comprehensive Plan. State law authorizes several municipal housing finance tools that the City may wish to consider using in the future: HRA Levy State Law allows a housing and redevelopment authority (HRA) to levy a property tax, with City Council approval, to fund its operations and pro- grams. The levy may not exceed 0.0144% of the total market value of property in Apple Valley. His- torically, the Dakota County CDA uses this levy to fund the administration of housing assistance programs. Tax Increment Financing Tax increment financing (TIF) is the primary devel- opment finance tool available to Minnesota cities (Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 through 469.179). Through TIF, property taxes are frozen before development occurs. The anticipated incre- ment in taxes due to development gains are cap- tured and used to finance the development. TIF is a powerful tool and its use is often debat- ed. On one hand, the creation of a TIF district can be an essential tool to stimulate economic devel- opment or redevelopment in instances where the marketplace cannot do so alone. TIF can be spe- cifically used to develop housing for low and mod- erate incomes. Housing is often part of a redevel- opment project because of the density required for a financially feasible project. On the other hand, TIF involves a direct public subsidy to private development. Creation of a TIF district may stimulate growth without increasing lo- cal revenue needed to support the increased de- mand for public services. Because the tax rate is frozen, local governments may miss a chance to capitalize on financially successful projects, with potential ramifications for local taxpayers. There- fore, Apple Valley will be judicious in its review and application of TIF. Tax Abatement Tax abatement acts like a simpler and less pow- erful version of tax increment financing. With TIF, CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 5-17Housing the city controls the entire property tax revenue from new development. Under the abatement statute (Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.1812 through 469.1815), the city, county, and school district have independent authority to grant an abatement. Acting alone, the City cannot use tax abatement to create the same financial leverage as TIF. Nonetheless, tax abatement provides a valuable tool for housing initiatives. The City can use tax abatement as an incentive to meet local housing objectives to new housing not provided by the market or reinvestment in the existing housing stock. Housing Improvement Areas The City has the power to establish a special taxing district to make improvements in areas of owner-occupied housing (Minnesota Statutes, Sections 428A.11 through 428A.21). The housing improvement area (HIA) is a special taxing district that can be used to finance a variety of improve- ments. A housing improvement area is a collection of par- cels defined by ordinance. The HIA may encom- pass new development or redevelopment. This tool may be a resource to aid homeowner’s as- sociations in need of assistance. The City has the power to levy a “fee” on the housing units in the area. This fee may work like a property tax or may be spread using another approach determined by the City. The fee can be collected through the property tax system. The statute also authorizes the City to levy special assessments to pay for housing improvements. The statute allows Apple Valley to define the na- ture of housing improvements. This tool can be used to finance any form of public improvement, including streetscape, parking, and trails. The City does not have the unilateral power to establish a housing improvement area. The pro- cess must be initiated through petition by a simple majority of property owners in the proposed HIA. Then, the City would have the ability to assign the procedures for imposing fees and administering the area to another authority, such as an HRA, economic development authority (EDA), or the Dakota County CDA. Other Tools To maintain neighborhood vitality, the City encour- ages homeowner reinvestment and infill of vacant parcels. Home improvements and rehabilitation should reflect the architectural style and scale of surrounding residential. Often home renovations occur at the point of sale. Various homebuyer in- centives facilitate renovations as well as general financing. The State of authorizes finance lend- ing for some first-time homebuyers, which can be rolled into the home mortgage. Federal programs, such as FHA203k, can be used to facilitate the acquisition of property and/or finance improve- ments to homes requiring significant rehabilitation or comprehensive repair. The Fannie Mae Home- style Renovation Loan provides a similar program. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |1 Economic Development Introduction Land use planning is foundational to address the economic development and redevelopment opportunities of Apple Valley to 2040. In this chapter, the City outlines strategies to create jobs; expand the property tax base; attract and retain businesses and industry; and build the Apple Valley “brand”. . In 2019, the City celebrates being 50 years as a city; was incorporated in 1969, and has become a major hub of commercial activity in the south Greater MSP metropolitan area. The City is well served by large retailers, global corporate employers and smaller niche businesses that bolster community identity and add to the residents’ quality of life. Apple Valley is routinely named by Money Magazine as one the “Best Places to Live”. In 2013, it was ranked 17 out of the 50 cities that were recognized. This recognition is partially due to the vibrant local economy. amenities high performing school and strong safe neighborhoods. Maintaining a vital economy requires focused planning and continued investment through policies and actions that grow and adopt the marketplace. The most significant accomplishments from 2010 to 2019 have set the stage for growth to 2030 and 2040. Examples include: Business attraction, retention and expansion valued at more than $100 million from 2011 to 2015 that occurred during a time period more notable for the national trend of economic downturn. Identifying a development direction for the 400 acre active mining area; guided in 2010 as a “mixed business campus” of health, financial and business services with supporting retail and housing, two of Apple Valley’s strengths. The hot housing market offering over 400 sought after single family homes in new neighborhoods and over 1,800 modern apartments during the growth period of 2015 to 2019. The reinvestment in the core retail area of the downtown business quadrants of Cedar Avenue and Dakota County Road 42 where another $100 million was added from 2015 to 2019. The quadrants are repositioned to complete and be an active distribution point for e-commerce. The Cedar Avenue Redline Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Service, the first in Minnesota, offered transit services to major employers, retailers, and regional, national and global markets from MSP Airport. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |2 The City has established multiple Triple AAA bond ratings for fiscal responsibility and demonstrating good business practices. The City has embraced education and business development in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Successful curriculum enhancements by Independent School District 196, energy efficient municipal buildings and resource management priorities continue to evolve to becoming best in class. Strategic Plan of Action Looking toward 2040, there are six pillars to the economic development plan. They are summarized below further and expanded upon in the chapter. 1. Attract large employers and business investment to the Mixed Business Campus The main goal of Apple Valley’s economic development strategy is to continue to increase local employment; specifically, to increase the number of jobs that pay well enough to sustain household. Attracting large employers to areas adjacent to Downtown will counter the effect of out-commuting and improve the jobs/housing balance. The Twin Cities metro is an attractive headquarters for national and regional businesses, including hospitals and supporting medical offices, corporate offices, and manufacturing. With available land and a clear vision for redeveloping the Fischer Mine into a mixed-business campus, Apple Valley is the best regional location for these uses. With great places to live, play, shop, and do business, Apple Valley already has many qualities that are valued by prospective employers and working families, but more can be done to build on the city’s employment potential and its close proximity to the MSP International Airport. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |3 2. Unify the Downtown through infrastructure and design The layout of Downtown is defined by large quadrants focused around Apple Valley’s most important intersection, Cedar Avenue and County Road 42. These wide highways convey high volumes of traffic, limiting connectivity and cohesion. The City must respond to increasing traffic and congestion in a way that strengthens connectivity and prevents conversion to a grade separation and a freeway-like environment. Where feasible, multimodal connectivity should be enhanced across Cedar Avenue and County Road 42; however, some responses may be prohibitively expensive and/or ineffective, given Downtown’s priority for business access. . Because heavy traffic limits the potential for “main street” style development on Cedar Avenue, it may be more feasible to make improvements within the surrounding superblocks. Breaking up these superblocks with multimodal connection will support redevelopment opportunities by creating flexibility for a variety of smaller users to take root. The Downtown design guidelines provide a framework for guiding the evolution of Downtown to a more walkable, sustainable business center. Enhancing multimodal facilities, extending the Ring Route design concept, and developing connections between Downtown and surrounding neighborhoods will strengthen cohesion and further develop the identity of Downtown. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |4 3. Reinvest in Downtown, adapting to changing retail trends The nature of American retail is changing. Thanks largely to the rise of e-commerce, many brick- and-mortar specialty chains are evolving to offer in-store and become rapid locations of distribution. . While a pattern of extensive commercial value decline is not evident in Apple Valley, some properties underperforming. Revitalization will run the gamut from adaptive reuse of serviceable structures, to larger-scale rehabilitation and redevelopment. The City prefers business to implement market-based solutions when possible. The City will leverage tax incentive policies, such as tax increment financing (TIF), to prepare sites for redevelopment, improve the design and resource efficiency of infrastructure and attract additional investment from the private and public sectors. Development and redevelopment will be guided by enduring partnerships between the City, private business, and other stakeholders. 4. Develop connections within the Twin Cities metro and beyond To succeed in a globalized economy, Apple Valley must enhance and maintain connections to the Twin Cities metro and beyond. Some connections are physical. Others are social, economic, financial, or digital. In a digital society, most communication relies on fiber optics, satellite, and wireless systems. Global enterprise is data-driven, and the amounts of data which are created, processed, and consumed grow every day. As more data is produced, processed, and shared, Apple Valley must continue to expand its digital communication networks. Likewise, it is essential to maintain and expand transportation connections. Apple Valley benefits from its regional highway location. The extension of the Red Line bus rapid-transit (BRT), with service to the Mall of America and other regional destinations, is a key catalyst for economic development in and around the Cedar Avenue corridor. Leveraging and expanding these and other networks make the City more profitable and create new and added value that will retain our competitiveness in the region and the world. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |5 5. Support STEM-related businesses and workforce development Traditional retail development – national chains and local businesses – connected to e-retailing are part of the business community profile of the future. In the knowledge economy, the City will need to lead and attract new business investment that advances the themes of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM disciplines). These professional disciplines provide good incomes, which is a key part of Apple Valley’s overall economic development strategy. Apple Valley is committed to supporting STEM initiatives through business development, financial investment, education, and workforce training. 6. Develop economic resilience The economic strength of Apple Valley is derived from its connections to regional, national, and global economies. When conditions in these economies change, the City is affected. The last recession is a prime example. The demonstrated resilience must continue to help Apple Valley withstand future shocks to the local economy. Apple Valley can build resilience by implementing policy initiatives that diversify local industry, increase access to local employment, reduce reliance on long-distance car travel, and develop the ability of workers to adapt to changing economic conditions. Another strategy, discussed above, is to expand and diversify the infrastructure which supports economic function, including a priority in energy systems, broadband networks, and high-quality “connected” housing. Regional Economy Economic development does not happen in a vacuum. Apple Valley is part of a thriving, broad- based regional economy. Understanding regional industry strengths will help the City narrow its economic development strategies, target investments, and position it self as a favorable partner with key actors in regional industry. Apple Valley is seven miles and 15 minutes from the airport. There is an emerging effort to treat the center of business growth and opportunity for the Greater MSP area from this center. In global cities, this has been called an “aerotropolis”. For Greater MSP, the effort is a collaborative partnership of medical device manufacturing, global shipping and transport and the business cluster strengths offered in our region. The U.S. Cluster Mapping Project identifies concentrations of related industries within the Twin Cities Metropolitan Statistical Area and Dakota County. Cluster industries are linked through supply/production chains, supporting institutions, and positive economic spillover effects. Several Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |6 clusters in the Twin Cities Metro (MSP) have expanded employment in the last two decades, including Business Services; Education and Knowledge Creation; Distribution and Electronic Commerce; Marketing, Design, and Publishing; Performing Arts; Biopharmaceuticals; Oil and Gas Production and Transportation; and Medical Devices. These clusters are traded, meaning they primarily produce goods and services for export. Developing traded clusters is important because they often support higher wages and they induce economic growth in other industries. The largest cluster is Business Services, with more than 200,000 employees. The Twin Cities metro has the largest concentration of corporate headquarters per capita in the United States. The strongest cluster is Medical Devices, which ranks third in the nation compared to similar metros. This cluster is powered by companies such as Medtronic, Boston Scientific, and 3M. Figure 6.1 Depicts cluster linkages in the Twin Cities metro. The strength of each industry is determined by its location quotient, a measure of local employment/production relative to the national average. All industries identified in green have a location quotient greater than 1.0, indicating that that they have a relatively stronger presence in the Twin Cities than elsewhere in the United States. The strongest industries are identified in dark green. Table 6.1 provides more in-depth information about employment, wages, and subcluster linkages. Most of these clusters saw expanded employment from 1998-2015. The U.S. Cluster Mapping Project also provides county-level data. The strongest clusters in Dakota County largely mirror those for the broader region. Other key traded clusters in Dakota County include transportation and the aerospace vehicles and defense cluster. More data describing county and regional clusters is available at www.clustermapping.us. Economic development activities should dovetail with regional strengths, such as Business Services, Medical Devices, and other cluster industries. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |7 Cluster industries support and are supported through cross-sector linkages. The strongest industries are identified in green.

The following components can be viewed as integrated resources which the City will seek to retain, expand, or enhance over the life of this plan: Property tax base Local job opportunities Workforce potential Development/redevelopment potential Community image, identity and visibility The following section explores each of these resources as they relate to the Comprehensive Plan. The role of the City is to foster diverse new development and retention of business activity to provide employment opportunities and support a strong tax base. Property Tax Base Under the current system of local government finance, property taxes are the largest source of revenue. For this reason, the creation of a new tax base is an important focus of community development policies. Components of Property Valuation Effective strategies to promote the growth of the tax base requires a clear understanding of the property tax system. There are three components of property tax valuation that influence the amount of property taxes paid. The foundation of the property tax system is Estimated Market Value. This amount is the assessed value of a parcel of property. In some circumstances, the State Legislature limits the amount of Estimated Market Value that can be used for taxation. These adjustments result in the Taxable Market Value. Tax Capacity Value is a percentage of Taxable Market Value. The percentage factors are set by the State Legislature and vary by class of property. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |10 Figure 6.2 – Taxable Market Value Place holder to insert 2010 to 2019 data here Figure 6.3 – Sources of Change in Property Valuation Placeholder to insert 2010 to 2019 data here Valuation Trends Understanding how Apple Valley’s tax base has changed in recent years provides useful guidance in planning for the future. The chart in Figure 6.1 shows the components and growth of taxable Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |11 market value of property in Apple Valley over the past five years. (The years in Figure 6.1 refer to the timing of the property tax system. 2004/05 means the value of property on January 2, 2004, reflecting changes that occurred in 2003. Values for 2008/09 are preliminary as of 2/21/08.) This chart illustrates several important points about Apple Valley’s property tax base: Housing creates the greatest amount of tax base. For 2008/2009, residential property made up 84% of the total taxable value of Apple Valley. Apartments added 4% of total value. The residential share has increased slightly over the past five years. In 2004/05, residential property accounted 86% of total value. The percent of apartment value was 4%. Industrial property represents less than 1% of all 2008/2009 taxable value. Total value grew by 23% over the four years from 2004/05 to 2007/08. Less than one- quarter of this growth came from value added by new construction. The appreciation of existing properties contributed to the bulk of new value Total value fell by 1% in 2008/2009, the decline was moderated by adding $58 million in value from new construction. These trends point to the importance of using the Comprehensive Plan to guide the expansion and diversification of the tax base and to promote the maintenance of existing property. Local Jobs The creation and retention of jobs is an important community development objective for Apple Valley. Jobs attract residents to the community. Jobs provide the income needed to support local business and government services. Retention of businesses promote community stability by keeping jobs and residents in Apple Valley. The Community Context chapter of the Comprehensive Plan makes some important observations about employment in Apple Valley: 18% of Apple Valley jobs are filled by workers who live in Apple Valley. (On the Map, 2014) 11% of working Apple Valley residents have jobs in the city. (On the Map, 2014) 40% of workers traveled to places of employment outside of Dakota County. (On the Map, 2014) Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |12 The largest employment sectors are retail trade (22%), education (17%), accommodation and food services (14%), and health care and social assistance (12%).

The QCEW covers all establishments reporting wage and employment to the state under the Unemployment Insurance System. Overall, the QCEW reports to 2017 demonstrate two important trends: 1) Employment is expanding year over year by about 3 to 4 percent (most notable 2015 to 2019). 2) The Metropolitan Council job growth projections to 2030, 16,400, are already being exceeded. Figure 6.4 depicts wage trends in Apple Valley for 2007 to 2016. While actual incomes are increasing, real incomes (inflation-adjusted incomes) generally have not increased over the 10- year period. Wage stagnation from 2010 to 2014 is attributed to the national recession. Figure 6.5 depicts jobs trends from 2007 to 2016. Apple Valley added more than 1,700 jobs in that period, with most of this growth occurring during the recovery from the recession (2011 to 2016.) The rate of job growth has exceeded population growth. In 2007 the jobs/household ratio was 0.72. By 2016 the jobs household ratio was 0.77. This data shows that Apple Valley’s employment base is slowly expanding. Even as the number of workers has increased, the number of business establishments has decreased. The QCEW reported 970 business establishments in 2007 and 899 establishments in 2016. The economic downturn likely forced the closure and consolidation of some businesses, with some unemployed workers shifting to other establishments. It is useful to compare economic trends for Apple Valley with other Dakota County cities. Figure 6.6 compares trends for wages, employment, and the number of establishments in Apple Valley with four adjacent cities. The data represent the four-quarter average for 2016. Burnsville and Eagan have a competitive advantage in terms of jobs and wages. The average wage in these cities is 50-60 percent higher than the average wage in Apple Valley. Higher wages are correlated with higher jobs/housing ratios. In Eagan there are 2.14 jobs for every household. In Burnsville there are 1.38 jobs per household. Apple Valley has the lowest jobs/household ratio of the five cities included in Figure 6.5. Apple Valley’s employment base is slowly expanding, but remains smaller than those of several neighboring communities. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |14 Figure 6.6 – Dakota County Wage and Employment Comparisons Jobs/Housing Balance A key consideration in the planning process is seeking a balance of jobs and housing in Apple Valley. This balance is both in terms of the number of jobs relative to the number of households, as well as the type of jobs relative to the education and interests of Apple Valley residents. Locating a wide range of housing close to employment may shorten commuting distances. High vehicle-miles traveled produces highway congestion and air pollution, reduces pavement life, and diminishes leisure time. A standard measure of jobs-housing balance is the ratio of jobs to housing units. (This measure is similar as the ratio of jobs to households.) The American Planning Association recommends a ratio of 1.3 to 1.7. However, in metropolitan areas where jobs are more regionally allocated, cities demonstrate a range of jobs-housing ratios (See Figure 6.6). From a regional perspective, the high degree of variance indicates that some communities have less than the ideal number of jobs given their number of households, while others have higher employment. This is more a regional issue than a local one – many communities have an imbalanced supply of housing and jobs. These imbalances should be addressed through comprehensive housing policy and transportation planning, as well as economic policy. $762 $850 $1,197 $963 $1,151 899 1,069 388 1,913 2,073 0.00 0.50 1.00 1.50 2.00 2.50 0 500 1,000 1,500 2,000 2,500 Apple Valley Lakeville Rosemount Burnsville Eagan Jobs per HouseholdAverage Weekly Wage / Number of EstablishmentsCity Dakota County trends comparison Wage Establishments Employment Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |15 The Metropolitan Council projects 17,100 jobs and 24,900 households in 2040, for a jobs/household ratio of 0.69. This projection would be a reversal of current trends, which show improving jobs/housing balance. With the addition of a job center in the mixed business campus area, Apple Valley is targeting a higher jobs goal – 19,000 jobs – for 2040. This goal reflects the Vision for Apple Valley that seeks to create more local jobs and more jobs with wages capable of sustaining a family and fostering greater economic resilience. Commuting Costs The jobs/housing relationship directly impacts quality-of-life. After housing, transportation is the largest cost for most households. The Housing and Transportation (H + T) Index provides a snapshot of these effects for Apple Valley (www.htaindex.cnt.org). On average, Apple Valley households spend 27 percent of their income on housing and 20 percent of their income on transportation (for a total of 47 percent). For comparison, Lakeville households spend 53 percent of their income on housing and transportation, while Burnsville households spend only 43 percent of their income on these costs. In 2016, the average expenditure on transportation in Apple Valley was $13,594 per household. This figure includes the average expenditures for auto ownership (car payments, maintenance, insurance, registration, etc.), fuel, and transit. With a heavy emphasis on employment in the future land use plan, Apple Valley is seeking to increase its jobs- housing ratio. Increasing access to local jobs, along with dedicated improvements to multimodal transportation, will improve quality-of-life, resilience, and local spending power. Figure 6.6 – Housing and Transportation Costs 27% 20% 53% Average Housing and Transportation Costs (Percent of Income) Housing Transportation Remaining Income Apple Valley seeks to expand job opportunities, prioritizing jobs which pay wages capable of sustaining a family. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |16 Source: Housing and Transportation Affordability Index (H+T); htaindex.cnt.org Development Potential Apple Valley’s low ratio of jobs to households is not ideal, but it does indicate that there is a ready supply of workers and consumers for expanding markets. With a sizeable population, a large trade area, and a large site prioritized for mixed business and health care services, Apple Valley is an ideal location for major medical groups which desire to have offices close to their customers. There are successful hospitals in other suburban communities such as Maple Grove and Woodbury, but unlike Apple Valley, neither of these communities is located within 15 minutes of the international airport or the Mall of America. To maximize this potential, the City may need to leverage its financial resources and increase regulatory flexibility in pursuing job creation and higher-value development. For example, the City has demonstrated a willingness to offer financial incentives, such as tax increment financing, in order to facilitate development of the 400 acre Orchard Place. Redevelopment Potential The City continues to support and encourage the redevelopment of underutilized sites. Redevelopment is largely a market-driven process. The overall building supply is physically sound and economically viable at this time. In the short-term, while the market may bypass the area needing redevelopment, recent developments are indicating a reversal and favorable investment The Comprehensive Plan does not identify specific parcels for redevelopment. However, redevelopment and adaptive reuse will be encouraged within the Downtown over the life of this plan. The level of City involvement in the redevelopment process will depend on the level of opportunity/need, available capital, the role of private investment, and the City’s ability to acquire available properties or otherwise influence redevelopment through public-private partnerships. Most previous redevelopment has been on single or small groups of parcels. The City may find the need to consider a change to a broader area where necessary, assembling parcels and improving place-making and connection in existing superblocks. Table 6.2 summarizes some of the pros and cons of redevelopment versus greenfield development. With its sizeable population, large trade area, robust highway system, and Orchard Place Master Plan, Apple Valley is the ideal location for a medical hub in the south metro. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |17 Table 6.2: Redevelopment Considerations (Pros and Cons) Redevelopment Pros Redevelopment Cons Keeping existing land uses viable helps sustain neighborhood property values. Physically or functionally obsolete buildings can produce a cycle of disinvestment. Redevelopment generally improves community aesthetic. Older sites face the need for environmental remediation. Old buildings may have asbestos or other hazardous materials that require special treatment. Certain commercial and industrial businesses may have allowed pollutants to enter the soil. Adapting/expanding existing roads and utilities can potentially be more cost- effective than new construction. Redevelopment sites may have greater site preparation costs, such as demolition, regrading, and environmental review. Adapting or replacing older buildings and infrastructure provides an opportunity to improve energy efficiency and upgrade roads and utilities. Redevelopment often requires the assembly or division of existing parcels, involving multiple property owners with individual interests. By repurposing sites, redevelopment conserves land resources for other uses. Existing structures and infrastructure may limit flexibility to repurpose the site. Increased density at key Downtown nodes supports community objectives for economic development, transportation, and land use. Elevated property values may exacerbate housing affordability problems, increasing burden on low-income groups. Some successful examples of recent market-driven redevelopment include: Fischer Market Place (northeast corner of Galaxie Avenue and County Road 42) was developed on a reclaimed gravel mine. The Cobblestone Lake development (northwest corner of County Road 46 and Diamond Path) was developed on a reclaimed gravel mine. The Apple Valley Chrysler site (southwest quadrant of Galaxie Avenue and County Road 42) was replaced with a CVS Pharmacy and M&I Bank. Cedar Marketplace (northeast quadrant of Cedar Avenue and 147th Street) took the place of a landscaping product nursery. LA Fitness (northwest corner of Galaxie Avenue and 152nd Street) was a former used car sales lot. The Apple Valley Transit Station (northeast corner of Cedar Avenue and 155th Street) was the site of a former large general retail store. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |18 Workforce Potential Business development and retention is one piece of the economic development strategy, which focuses on increasing the supply of well-paying jobs in the community. Those jobs must be filled by a skilled and talented workforce. Apple Valley can develop its workforce by strengthening its skills and expanding the labor pool through the attraction and retention of talented workers. Workforce development is often facilitated through public-private initiative. A good example is Uponor, the largest private employer in the city. Starting wage at Uponor is $17/hour; average hourly wage is $33. The company employs 700 workers, having doubled its staff in the last few years. Manufacturing space was doubled with economic development resource assistance from the City. This expansion was partially enabled by an apprenticeship program designed to recruit, train, and retain maintenance technicians, addressing the shortage of skilled labor in a competitive economic environment. The program was created through a partnership with the State. Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED. One of the largest employers in Apple Valley, Uponor partnered with State and local organizations to develop its apprenticeship program. The 2017 Minnesota Manufacturing Awards recognized the business as best in class. This example of workforce development used a supply-based strategy – create a supply of readymade workers to match a skillset in demand. Demand-based approaches to economic development are also beneficial. Independent School District 196 has become a partner in Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |19 developing a different type of student and potential worker by implementing and investing in a K- 12+ STEM curriculum. The Role of Image/Identify – The Apple Valley Brand Demonstrated good governance, leadership at the regional and state level and the central location in Dakota County for services offers an identifiable positive image that helps Apple Valley attract residents, businesses, and visitors in a competitive marketplace. Distinctive signs and entry monuments signal to people that they have entered Apple Valley. Entry markers improve community name recognition, send a welcoming message, and offer an indication of community pride. In 2019, Apple Valley celebrates being 50 years as a city.Shopping areas (Southport, Fischer Marketplace), neighborhoods (Central Village, Cobblestone Lake) offer a place-making identity tocommercial districts and neighborhoods. Subdivisions and shopping centers frequently use signs to create place recognition. The City uses consistent signage to identify parks and trails. The City has also used corner monuments and enhanced streetscaping to help identify the Ring Route and an expanded Ring Route discussed in the plan. The Ring Route shows a recognition of the importance of public actions to create community identity. Also, the Cedar Avenue streetscape and transit stations, done in cooperation with Dakota County, have added a distinctive look to the downtown. The City will continue to enhance the Ring Route monuments and streetscape and will keep them in scale with the higher density development that is sought for Downtown. Apple Valley demonstrates its relevance by being “suburban intensive”; a recognition that a once distant suburban location has urban, walkable, bikeable areas in the Downtown while continuing to be a drivable commercial hub for many. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |20 Image is a key component of the economic development strategy. Enhanced streetscaping, monuments, and signage help create a sense of place and distinguish important nodes and corridors. Goals and Policies Economic Development Goals Activate the Comprehensive Plan to ensure that Apple Valley has an appropriate mix of development types and an adequate supply of land to secure new business investments consistent with the city’s vision. Retain and expand current businesses and assist companies with expansion where appropriate. Attract new employers which pay above the area’s median income. Maintain and improve the infrastructure system (transportation, utilities and telecommunications) to meet the needs of current businesses, facilitate future growth, and advance sustainable resource management. Develop pathways to a workforce in partnership with Independent School District 196 and post secondary options. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |21 Maintain a labor force that fulfills the needs of business and industry and supports business development. Provide a balanced supply of housing opportunities for all generations that meets the needs of current and prospective workers, from affordable rental units to high-end housing. Continue to foster strong working relationships with the Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce, Dakota County Community Development Agency, Greater MSP and other entities with shared interest in economic development and redevelopment. Work with property owners to address unique development challenges including the maintenance, revitalization, and redevelopment of existing buildings and parking lots. Take advantage of opportunities to use public improvements and private development to enhance the image and identity of Apple Valley. Foster private investment and economic activity that supports sustainability and resiliency objectives. Attract development of regional industry clusters to Apple Valley. Develop the mixed business campus, Orchard Place, to improve the jobs/housing balance. Encourage Orchard Place to demonstrate energy efficiency objectives by incorporating renewable/local energy sources, such as solar, wind biomass on-site or in partnership with Dakota Electric. Economic Development Policies The City seeks to achieve its economic development goals through application of the following policies: Actively investigate and pursue opportunities to attract a medical center/campus district and other medical and health care businesses to Apple Valley. Engage with businesses that create jobs with incomes that can sustain a family. Develop business partners that share the objective of high-quality, sustainable, efficient development, expansion of the property tax base, match market desires and land use plans of Apple Valley. Periodically review and amend if necessary the Comprehensive Plan to ensure land resources leverage value and employment-producing. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |22 Encourage and facilitate infill commercial, industrial, and retail development on remaining vacant parcels to ensure fully utilize the resource. Encourage and facilitate redevelopment of underutilized or distressed properties into viable commercial, industrial, or retail and horizontal and vertical mixed use developments by working with property owners and developers. Create a medical campus district to encourage and facilitate development of medically related uses such as health services, bioengineering and manufacturing, and transportation/shipping supportive facilities. Work with local businesses and industries in support of expansion strategies where the land resource is fully utilized. Work with local businesses, Dakota County, and the Minnesota Transit Authority to provide transit services that support the economic development goals of Apple Valley. Encourage and promote the development of advanced, state-of-the-art telecommunication technology to and within Apple Valley. Work with service providers to ensure adequate supplies and reliable distribution systems for electricity and natural gas and increasingly emphasize renewables. Pursue ways to streamline the development approval process, while still maintaining high quality development standards. Review new and innovative economic development incentives for application in Apple Valley. Implementation Figure 6.7 shows the overall structure of the Economic Development Strategy. The top of the pyramid represents the highest achievements sought. The base of the pyramid represents the foundational work that is needed to succeed. The highest goal is to attract new business and industry to Orchard Place and Downtown. Apple Valley recognizes that the framework for sustainable growth emerges from within, often referred to as organic growth over time. Retaining existing businesses and workforce talent is vital to demonstrate local potential to prospective employers. Developing within established and emerging clusters will help solidify the economic base and leverage the strengths of the region. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |23 Figure 6.7: Economic Development Strategy Activating the Strategic Plan This chapter introduced six core pillars for economic development to 2040. To summarize, they are: Attract large employers Unify the Downtown Reinvest in Downtown Develop connections within the Twin Cities metro and beyond Support STEM-related businesses and workforce development Develop economic resilience The following material expands on these themes. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |24 1. Attract large employers primarily in the designated Mixed Business Campus area The biggest economic challenge for Apple Valley is to increase the number of local jobs – specifically, to improve the jobs/household ratio. It is not uncommon for a metropolitan economy to produce clusters of employment that benefit some communities more than others, especially in suburban areas, resulting in a regional jobs/housing imbalance and complex commuting patterns. Because there are regional forces at work, Apple Valley will benefit through intergovernmental collaboration as much as through competition with other communities. Potential economic development opportunities must be evaluated based on the number of jobs they create – both directly and indirectly – and the wages they provide. The amount of public incentives, if they are used to attract new employers or retain existing employers, should reflect these factors. The City will target employers which pay above area median income, especially businesses that are compatible with existing industry clusters or which represent emerging technologies. In the near-term, the City will work to develop relationships with commercial, office, and industry partners in the community. Conducting periodic meetings with the largest employers will help the City identify opportunities and threats to its existing jobs base and develop local partnerships. This will help the City improve career development pathways, such as that used by Uponor, to meet industry needs. Another strategy is to expand local employment data, and the application of data, to monitor and communicate characteristics of the municipal workforce and local employers. The QCEW provides detailed data regarding the types of jobs that are located within a geography, but not the jobs which are held by the population of that geography. A survey of residents would give the City a clearer picture of local job resilience and workforce skills. It could also be used to demonstrate local demand for certain industries and cultivate jobs training programs. Orchard Place The long-term goal is to redevelop Orchard Place as a mixed-business employment center. The redevelopment of this 400-acre sand and gravel mining area will take serveral years. Strong systems of trails, transit, and parks offer amenity enhanced environment. The Orchard Place master plan captures this strategy by guiding acreage for open space, water features, pedestrian connections, and the supported network of great streets. Careful attention to preliminary design and promotion of the plan will attract larger specialty businesses to the site. The Orchard Place concept plan guides approximately 400 acres for the Mixed Business Campus, supportive commercial rights-of-way, open space, and ponds. Based on historical development The economic potential of development proposals must be evaluated based on the number of jobs that businesses create and the wages they provide. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |25 within the Metropolitan area, it is suggested that at least 40 acres of the Mixed Business Campus be considered for the medical center campus. The Orchard Place concept plan guides approximately 50 acres for the most iconic development to be located in the northeast corner of the site. Adjacent tracts are illustrated for potential medical-related uses; office, hotel, and commercial/industrial uses. Utilizing FAR to guide development and model development intensity One guiding principle for development intensity is floor area ratio (FAR). Floor-area ratio guides intensity by maximizing the amount of total floor space in all buildings on a given site,. Within these parameters, developers maintain some flexibility to adjust building height and bulk and fully utilize available land. (Figure 6.8). Intensity increases with more building space and higher FAR. Figure 6.8: FAR graphic FAR standards regulate density while giving developers greater design flexibility. The City’s FAR guidelines help it project employment density, assess site impacts, and address traffic needs for future development. Employment potential can also be correlated to FAR, since jobs are traditionally measured as the number of employees within a building area. The conceptual plan for Orchard Place includes a range of FAR goals for each land use. Table 6.2 summarizes these goals. Table 6.2: FAR goals for Orchard Place Use FAR Range Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |26 Corporate Campus 0.25 to 0.35 Medical 0.25 to 0.40 Office 0.25 to 0.35 Industrial 0.30 to 0.45 Commercial Retail 0.18 to 0.30 Hotel 0.35 to 0.50 As of March 2017, the concept plan for Orchard Place retains flexibility for further refinement. The precise acreage for each use and the intensity of development will be further evaluated in cooperation with the land owner and the project developer. In the meantime, these numbers are useful for conceptualizing a range of intensity scenarios, refining economic development objectives, and developing an understanding of likely traffic impacts and utility needs. If, for example, a 50-acre corporate campus were constructed to 0.35 FAR, there would be 17.5 acres of floor space, or approximately 762,300 square feet. A typical hospital might staff 2.6 employees per 1,000 square feet. Thus, a 50-acre hospital site might support a staff of roughly 1,980 employees. As actual development potential is determined, Apple Valley can adjust its FAR and/or acreage assumptions accordingly to promote the most efficient use of the Fischer site. The Metropolitan Council projects 17,100 jobs in 2040, with only 1,300 additional jobs from 2020 to 2040. This forecast may prove to be an underestimate of both need and opportunity. Apple Valley would like to increase employment to 19,000 jobs by 2040. It is estimated that the Mixed Business Campus yields about 75 percent of the growth in jobs. Upon completion of the Mixed Business Campus, about 25 percent of all jobs in the city would be located there. Implementing the FAR framework will help the City achieve the desired development intensity – and associated employment growth – for Orchard Place and other sites. If a portion of the site is developed at lower-than-average FAR, then the City knows that the remaining space must be developed at a higher intensity to produce the desired jobs outcome. The present marketplace readily builds at .25 to .30 FAR. Building at higher intensities may require the application of financial incentives and/or modifications to City code. 2. Unify Downtown by taking advantage of future redevelopment opportunities, using Cedar Avenue and County Road 42 and transit system improvements as catalysts. Downtown is the engine of Apple Valley’s economy. Improvements that unify Downtown, support greater development intensity, and enhance connectivity will improve economic potential. Future redevelopment opportunities can be supported by transit and other transportation improvements in the Cedar Avenue corridor and the County Road 42 corridor. The Cedar Avenue Transitway Implementation Plan guides improvements to the Red Line from 2010 to 2040, with five stages for development. Stage 1 was completed in 2013 when BRT service was launched, connecting Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |27 Apple Valley to the Mall of America transit station hub. Stage 2 is programmed for 2015-2020 and calls for expansion of the Apple Valley transit station and bicycle and pedestrian improvements. Stage 3 is programmed for 2020-2025, and calls a new station at Palomino Drive with potential park and ride expansion. Stages 4 and 5 are scheduled for completion by 2040, with extension to Lakeville. The City is targeting land use and transportation improvements that unify the Downtown and mitigate the physical barriers presented by traffic volume and multiple lanes of traffic on Cedar Avenue and County Road 42. Enhanced pedestrian connections across these thoroughfares, coupled with stronger connections to transit, are sought. The addition of bus rapid transit to the transportation network has already supported several development projects in the Cedar Avenue transitway. However, significant opportunities remain, especially in the four major quadrants surrounding the intersection of Cedar Avenue and County Road 42 and the expansion of east/west transit services to the mixed business campus in cooperation with Dakota County. Momentum from transit-supportive development and the extension of the Red Line south to Lakeville will eventually influence these superblocks as well. Lid Concept A 2008 study of transit-oriented development introduced a “lid” concept for the intersection of the Cedar Avenue and County Road 42 (See Chapter 3). The concept envisions maximizing business access and proximity to the two cooridors with innovative intersection design. Within a quarter mile of that intersection, a depressed Cedar Avenue would have a “lid” added over the intersection to connect the four quadrants of the Downtown with an at-grade pedestrian and local auto oriented “Cedar Green”. This idea would unify the Downtown., An improvement such as this would allow for new connections within the superblocks. Downtown Plan A structured plan is critical to achieve unified development. Updating the downtown master plan would help coordinate Downtown’s transition with integrated development and infrastructure improvements. This plan would expand on the Downtown Design guidelines and other concepts presented here, and would again bring key landowners in the Cedar Ave/County Road 42 corridors, potential developers, and other stakeholders to the table as originally occurred when it was developed. Reinvest in Downtown, adapting to changing retail trends A cohesive Downtown Master Plan is a critical tool for guiding transition in a unified manner. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |28 For several years, the City has prioritized positive relationship-building with businesses and has used financial loan products, tax-increment and revenue bond resources to support new development. This will continue and intensify as the competition for development increases and various financial arrangements are needed to close financial gaps in the development process. Some strategies include: Financial incentives such as grants, loans, and regional investment funds, often in partnership with other agencies such as the State of Minnesota and the Dakota County Community Development Agency. Continue the robust working relationship with the Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce. Provide support to small businesses, entrepreneurs, and new entrants in the marketplace with the creation of business plans and marketing plans. Dakota County Technical College (and others as they are identified) and the Metropolitan Consortium of Community Developers are examples of supporting partners, already having been active with the City. Local tax incentives Tax-increment Financing (TIF) Tax-increment financing (TIF) under a rigorous set of State Statutes, can be used to support land assembly and infrastructure installation to prepare for higher-intensity development. A TIF district is financed by capitalizing the gains in property tax value that are anticipated to occur through development. The base tax which is levied before creation of the TIF district is still directed to the general fund, but the increment is leveraged to finance debt over a determined period. In practice, the City always demonstrates that this increment would not occur “but for” the creation of the district. When a TIF district finance period is finished, total property taxes (both the increment and the base tax values) are reallocated to the general fund. As a tool that initializes development and ultimately expands the tax base, TIF is a powerful resource to stimulate local economic growth. Downtown Redevelopment Opportunities As the Downtown ages, there will be opportunities to redevelop or adaptively reuse existing structures. In most cases, it is far more effective to reuse or adapt vacant big box structures, rather than demolish them and reconstruct the site, which requires significant energy and investment. For example, vacant big-box commercial buildings could be repurposed for multiple smaller users, co-working space, community-serving uses, such as medical clinics, schools, or fitness centers, and more entrepreneurial market places and makerspace. With additional investment and more substantial retrofits, other structures could be adapted to support vertical additions. Finally, deep retail could find backroom uses such as a large data center. Access to the Red Line would support the development of more jobs in the vicinity of Cedar Avenue. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |29 The Downtown Design Guidelines advocate breaking up the superblocks around the intersection of Cedar Avenue and County Road 42. To facilitate this type of transformation, the City will have to examine its zoning code and consider amending policies to reverse the type of Downtown commercial development which actively discourages walking and bicycling, such as deep setbacks, wide streets, wide intersection spacing, separated uses, and liberal parking standards. Surface Parking Figure 6.8 depicts large areas of surface parking in Downtown. There appears to be an excess of underutilized space, representing an opportunity for economic development. Most of these lots are associated with large chain retailers., which usually have their own parking and development standards Owners of underperforming strip malls or big box sites could be encouraged to lease the outer edges of their parking lots to smaller retailers, which would increase their revenue and extend the presence of commercial activity closer to street. Alternatively, some property could be converted for solar energy production. The Great Plains Institute’s energy assessment notes that surface parking lots in Downtown receive high insolation and could be adapted to produce efficient solar energy. The extent to which this would be a desirable use of Downtown property is debatable; nevertheless, it illustrates the potential to adapt parking areas for a variety of uses. Beyond adaption, there may be opportunities to physically remove parking to create amenties such as streams or natural wetlands, improving storm water retention. The City should conduct a parking study that calculates acreages, investigates daily use, estimates the economic potential for these areas based on regional market dynamics, and identifies some potential sites that could be retrofitted in the short-term. This examination could lead to a broader effort to update a master plan for Downtown. The Downtown Design Guidelines and conceptual presented in this plan effectively plan for “anticipatory” retroffiting. Anticipatory planning can be extended by laying out surface lots in block configuration, conceptualizing future building sites, and identifying conceptual collector trails and driving lanes with street trees and utilities between rows of parking. Figure 6.8: Downtown Parking Areas Excess parking is an opportunity for redevelopment. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |30 4. Develop connections to the Twin Cities metro and beyond, using advances in communication technology, transit. The City has long monitored the evolution of internet services in communities within and outside of Dakota County. There are multiple approaches based on wi-fi, (faster and more efficient), and fiber optic services. A discussion of this topic 10 years ago would have underestimated future systems already realized. The same will be true in the future, to 2040. The advantage for the City is to utilize all three in combination to meet user needs for the transfer of voice, video, and data. As development and redevelopment occur, it will be important to integrate the most cost-effective and efficient systems to remain competitive. The Metropolitan Council’s 2040 transit system envisions the Cedar Corridor as a critical north- south route, with Apple Valley a key node between Lakeville and the Mall of America station. The opportunities for the City resulting from the implementation of bus rapid transit (BRT) continue to be expanded. A Dakota County study from 2015 found that the Red Line triggered investment of over $100 million in 38 projects within ½ mile of the Cedar Avenue corridor, beginning in 2010 with anticipation of transit’s arrival. A review of land uses indicates that there are over 6,000 housing units and an estimated 17,000 Apple Valley residents living within ½ mile of the corridor. In addition, there are over 170 commercial parcels with a total property value greater than $500 Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |31 million. Figure 3.5 in the Community Context Chapter depicts the estimated value of parcel structures as a fraction of total property value. This is one measure of property utilization, which can be useful in identifying potential for redevelopment and adaptive reuse. Leveraging regional transit investments is an important piece of the economic development strategy. Goals/strategies that will make transit an economic success include: Good system design (transit must be convenient even during bad weatherand supported by adequate parking and a dense and well-connected mixture of residential and employment-based uses) Linking key activity areas and population centers Moving riders quickly and efficiently Creating an experience people want to repeat; well maintained and safe facilities Developing routes and stations to shape adjacent growth and draw investment Enhancing multimodal connections to/from transit line (“last-mile” connections); pedestrian connections across Cedar Avenue and to adjacent neighborhoods and businesses must be safe and convenient Augmenting the regional system through local transit connections 5. Attract businesses focused on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to build a well-educated and well-compensated workforce. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |32 The Federal Americans Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998 established STEM as the 21st century response to competitiveness. The National Science Foundation (NSF) encouraged academic institutions in the United States to increase the number of students nationwide that receive degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. These disciplines often support high-paying jobs in forward-thinking industries. Attracting innovative employers will position Apple Valley’s economy to remain competitive in the knowledge economy. To attract those employers also requires a responsibility for students to be prepared. The City must be prepared to provide supportive and desirable career opportunities, as well as housing and other amenities. Apple Valley offers the land resources and the cooperation with local owners to locate new and expanding businesses. Furthermore, Apple Valley is already highly educated and offers many places to live, shop, learn and recreate and be entertained. 6. Develop Resilience Resilience is an overarching theme that ties the economic development plan together. The economic strength of Apple Valley is derived from its connections to regional, national, and global economies. When conditions in these economies change, the City is affected. To ensure it can withstand future shocks to its economic base, Apple Valley is focused on improving its resilience. Apple Valley can build economic resilience by diversifying local industry, addressing the jobs- housing imbalance, and diversifying the skillsets of its labor force. Furthermore, it can expand and diversify its supply of energy to include a greater share of Solar and wind power generated by Dakota Electric. Energy There are substantial opportunities to improve energy efficiency in the commercial and industrial sectors. Developing and diversifying the energy supply to incorporate more clean energy not only improves resilience, but creates opportunities for new jobs and technical training, and community partnerships with existing businesses and manufacturing. Energy efficiency improvements at large industrial and commercial facilities can lead to substantial cost savings. The total rooftop solar resource for commercial businesses in the City is 194 megawatts, which is equivalent to approximately 77 percent of all the electricity consumed in the city. Developing a fraction of this resource could have a large impact. Some local businesses, such as Uponor or Wings Financial Credit Union, may be receptive to partnerships that expand local resilience initiatives, foster community outreach and recognition, and benefit their bottom line. Implementing a combination of clean energy strategies for the business and residential sectors would help Apple Valley reach its GreenStep goals and stay on track to meet Minnesota’s energy target – 50 percent GHG reduction by 2030. Imagine Apple Valley 2040 Economic Development |33 In addition to solar, biomass can be used as a source of local, renewable energy. Several schools, colleges, and hospitals in Minnesota use wood pellets, waste wood, and other sources of biomass to fulfill part or all of their energy requirements. Managing organic food waste is a huge opportunity to reduce GHG emissions directly and create additional energy. Dakota County is looking to require organics diversion by large generators by 2022, and plans to make curbside organics collection available by 2025. The proposed medical center campus in Orchard Place would be a large energy user that could benefit from sourcing energy from local biomass or other renewables. A large producer of organic food waste, health systems could be engineered to use captured biogas (methane and carbon dioxide) to generate efficient energy through a combined heat and power (CHP) system. Local Jobs Access Expanding the supply of local jobs increases the ability of people to live and work in Apple Valley. Decreasing the distance between work and home reduces regional travel. Providing a wide range of goods and services also reduces travel by enabling residents to shop locally. When more people live, work, and play within Apple Valley, the City will improve its self-reliance and resilience. Land Use Managing energy policies and developing with resilience “is good business” and will influence land use decisions in the future; supporting a variety of industries and strengthening local networks of producers, consumers, and intermediary suppliers. Expanding the property tax base provides the City with financial resources needed to invest in services and facilities that enhance Apple Valley’s environment. New development is an opportunity to improve energy efficiency. The mixed-business campus should be designed to incorporate renewable power sources, such as local solar or biomass production. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 7-1Parks and Recreation 7. Parks and Recreation Parks and Recreation are an essential pub- lic service. Just as water, sewer and public safety, parks are vitally important to establish- ing and maintaining a quality of life in a com- munity. The importance of parks, trails, and open space is continually reinforced by stud- ies, analyses, and surveys both nationally and within Minnesota and the metro. Parks provide economic value, provide health and environ- mental benefits and are the tangible reflection of the quality of life in a community. The City of Apple Valley promotes diverse recreational opportunities, services, facilities and trails through the parks and recreation de- partment. This system, along with numerous programs and collaborations with local youth sports associations, civic groups, the school districts and local non-profits greatly contrib- ute to the quality of life for residents in the City of Apple Valley. Adapting to changing popula- tions and parks system needs is crucial to the success of such a park system. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 7-2Parks and Recreation Parks and Recreation The City of Apple Valley is updating its Parks Mas- ter Plan to provide a clear vision that guides deci- sion making into the future. This plan will include recommendations regarding the development and redevelopment of existing parks, trails, and recre- ational opportunities. The following guiding principles were developed in previous versions of the Comprehensive Plan and continue to be used by Apple Valley to guide development of the park system: • Creating parks that provide people with places to gather and play. • Distributing parks throughout the City • Connecting parks and neighborhoods with sidewalks and trails • Matching facilities with the full spectrum of ages, abilities and economic status. Creating a system that serves all residents. • Providing a wide range of indoor and outdoor recreation facilities • Collaborating with other parties to coordinate the delivery of services to make effective use of financial resources. • Using parks as a tool to control flooding, help preserve the quality of the surface water, replenish the ground water supply, reduce air pollution and preserve natural resources. Additionally, two new guiding principles were de- veloped that reflect desires set forth by stakehold- ers, staff and residents: • Effectively providing information to residents and visitors that will elevate awareness of the park and recreation system and services. • Developing a park and recreation system that is innovative. Guiding principles will create a strong foundation for meeting future needs. Recommendations and strategies for achieving these principles are de- fined in the Frameworks Plan. Plan and Process The Apple Valley Parks and Recreation Master Plan is lead by the Park and Recreation Depart- ment, with input from the Park and Recreation Committee, the Apple Valley Planning Commis- sion, and residents and stakeholders from the community. The Apple Valley Parks and Recreation Master Plan includes an in-depth analysis of the park system, including: Current Park System, Changes and Trends Analysis, Community Vision, Level of Service Analysis, Program Assessment, Bench- mark Analysis, and a Frameworks Plan. The following was adapted as an Executive Sum- mary of the Apple Valley Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The full plan should be reviewed to understand the breadth of work and full analysis that was completed. Executive Summary The City of Apple Valley has an extensive park Quarry Point Park was opened in 2010. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 7-3Parks and Recreation system with over 900 acres of parkland, 75 miles of trails and a variety of recreational facilities. The Park system provides numerous amenities for the residents of Apple Valley including: • 13 Picnic Shelters • 40 Ball Diamonds • 24 Multi-Purpose Fields • 25.5 Basketball Courts (incl. half courts) • 30 Tennis Courts • 10 Pickleball Courts • 53 Playgrounds • 21 Sand Volleyball Courts • Johnny Cake Skate Park • Kelley Splash Pad • Redwood Pool • Apple Valley Family Aquatic Center • Sports Arena • Hayes Park Arena • Senior Center • Teen Center • Community Center • Valleywood Golf Course Table 1.2 - 1.3 shows the current parks and facili- ties in the Apple Valley Parks System. Level of Service Recommendations As part of the master planning process, a Level of Service Analysis was completed to provide rec- ommendations based on current facility invento- ry, other providers (i.e. ISD 196, Dakota County), park and facility standards, community/stakehold- er input, regional context/experience and project- ed population changes shown in Table 1.1. The following identifies the current system and projected needs based off of the Level of Service Recommendations: Neighborhood Parks Neighborhood parks are parks that serve ap- proximately a half-mile radius, and are intended to be parks that the surrounding population can easily walk to. Examples are Cedar Isle or Keller Parks. They provide basic recreation, such as a playground and possibly a small practice field, picnic shelter, or similar. They may sometimes be large enough to accommodate several fields and a signature amenity, such as a small skate park or splash pad area. A majority of Apple Valley’s existing parks are in this classification with approximately 346 acres of parkland. However, given the rapid and consistent growth of Apple Valley, an additional 17 acres of neighborhood parks will be needed by 2020. This need will grow as the population grows, reaching approximately 42 additional acres by 2030. Community Parks Community parks serve a large population, in the case of Apple Valley, a quarter to all of the City. These parks are often areas of intensive recre- ation use. They often provide several different ar- eas of recreation, such as several ball fields, sev- eral picnic shelters, one or two playground areas, and open space areas. Apple Valley has developed some strong com- munity parks, and no additional development of this type of park is needed – both currently and through 2030. Special Use Parks Special use parks provide a specialized or sin- gle use recreational amenity, such as golf, nature centers, and aquatic centers. Examples for Apple Valley include Valleywood Golf Course and Apple Valley Family Aquatic Center. While no additional special use parks are needed currently, an additional 20 acres will be needed in 2020 and 57 acres will be needed by 2030. Total Developed Park Acreage Needed There is additional park acreage needed for both Neighborhood Parks and Special Use Parks. Park acreages are calculated based on the assump- tion that standards are met each year. In addition, some park types can function as others, so the total is not a simple sum of all park acreage needs. Total park acreage needed by year is shown Fig- ure 1.3.

CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 7-8Parks and Recreation Trails and Connections Trails and sidewalks are vital in parts of the com- munity. They serve as a means of transportation, and are an important recreational component. These facilities: • Allow people to move safely throughout Apple Valley without a car. • Connect neighborhoods with parks, schools and other community facilities. • Promote healthy and active lifestyles. • Encourage sustainability by facilitating non-vehicular travel. • Serve a wide range of individual and household needs. • Contribute to the social fabric and char- acter of Apple Valley. • Provide youth with the means for inde- pendent travel and exploration. Sidewalks Sidewalks are intended to support pedestrians in residential neighborhoods and commercial dis- tricts. Sidewalks allow people to move by foot (walk, jog) within neighborhoods and to other parts of the community – parks, schools, public facilities and shopping. Sidewalks provide a place for children to safely travel by bicycle or scooter. The design of sidewalks (narrower width, individ- ual concrete sections) make them poorly suited to adult bicycle use. As the population ages, sidewalks may receive greater use by motorized and non-motorized wheelchairs and similar devices. Sidewalks also serve social and recreational functions. They pro- mote social interaction in neighborhoods and pro- vide a safe place for young children to play near their home. Paved Trails Paved trails can include both asphalt (bituminous) surface, or wide, concrete sidewalks. These trails are often ADA accessible and usually can accom- modate a range of activities, from pedestrians and joggers to bicyclists and roller bladers. These trails may be plowed or groomed in winter, depending on the designated use. There are two types of paved trails in Apple Valley. Park trails are bituminous trails in parks and open spaces. These trails connect the parks adjacent streets and neighborhoods. Park trails also allow for movement through parks and open spaces. Street trails are 8-foot bituminous trails built along collector streets and county roads. It will continue to be the City’s policy to construct bituminous trails on both sides of all county roads and community collector streets, where the terrain and topography permit. Both park and street trails are multi-use and intended to accommodate both pedestrians and bicycles. The extensive trail system in Apple Valley and the surrounding region is one of the best in the nation. Apple Valley and its surrounding communities have a strong, connected trail system. The region is a leader in trails nationwide, and no additional paved trail mileage is needed to meet the stan- dard, which is already higher than most of the United States, through 2030. Unpaved Trails Unpaved, or natural surface trails are usually dedi- cated to pedestrian, mountain biking, or horse trail use during the summer months. In winter, these trails can be designated for winter hiking, snow- shoeing, or cross-country skiing, depending on their characteristics and grooming schedule. Within the city limits of Apple Valley, there is cur- rently a deficit of 5 miles of unpaved trail, which will increase to 7 miles by 2030. Figure 1.3 - Additional Acreage Needed 0 0 49 2017 2020 2030 CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 7-9Parks and Recreation Outdoor Facilities Outdoor Facilities include ball fields, courts, play equipment, and other park infrastructure that is geared toward a particular sport or activity. Table 1.4 shows the need for each amenity by year. Apple Valley has adequate outdoor facilities and amenities in most areas. The one focal point for additions should be in picnic shelters and pavil- ions. This trends along with the need for additional Neighborhood Parks, which often incorporate this type of amenity. Pickleball is another area where Apple Valley currently excels, but with the aging population, increasing popularity of the sport, and influx of non-residents using Apple Valley’s facili- ties, this is an area for additional capacity in the coming years. While all standards are adequate in terms of quan- tity, care should be given to the maintenance of current amenities to ensure the quality of these amenities remain. In addition, while Apple Valley currently exceeds the standard for outdoor pools, it is recommended that a study of the operational cost of the Redwood Pool be completed to deter- mine its cost versus benefit to the community Indoor Facilities Indoor facility space includes the Community Cen- ter, Teen Center, Redwood, and Senior Center, along with small areas of indoor space within the larger community parks. Currently, Apple Valley has over 135,000 square feet of indoor space, and this exceeds the standard by about a third. No ad- ditional indoor space is recommended. However, improvements and updates to current spaces, in- cluding the Community Center, are needed. Con- sideration for winter amenities, such as an indoor playground, and the development of a multi-gen- erational, family-based community center, rather than dedicated centers to certain age groups, is also recommended. A feasibility study and busi- ness plan for the renovation of the current Hayes Complex should be conducted to determine the best future use of those facilities. Program Analysis As part of the master planning process, a Recre- ation Program Assessment was completed. The assessment offers an in-depth perspective of program and service offerings and helps identify strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities regard- OUTDOOR FACILITY 2017 2020 2030 Picnic Shelter/Pavilion 6 8 10 Ball Fields ------ Multi-Purpose Fields ------ Basketball Courts ------ Tennis Courts ------ Pickleball Courts --1 2 Playgrounds ------ Sand Volleyball ------ Skate Parks ------ Splash Pads 1 2 2 Outdoor Pool ------ Table 1.4 - Outdoor Facility Needs CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 7-10Parks and Recreation ing programming. The assessment also assists in identifying core programs, program gaps within the community, key system-wide issues, areas of improvement, and future programs and services for residents. The analysis can be reviewed in full in the Apple Valley Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Benchmark Analysis The City of Apple Valley identified operating met- rics to benchmark against comparable park and recreation systems. The goal of the analysis is to evaluate how Apple Valley is positioned among peer agencies as it applies to efficiency and effec- tiveness practices. The benchmark assessment is organized into specific categories and questions to obtain data that offers an encompassing view of each system’s operating metrics in comparison to the City of Apple Valley. The City parks system compares favorably against benchmark communities and best practices. The benchmark agencies include: Burnsville, Ea- gan, Lakeville, Plymouth and West Des Moines. Information gathered includes: overview (popula- tion, density, etc), park acreage, trail mileage, staff- ing levels, operating budgets, non-tax revenues, operational cost recovery, capital budget, program participation, indoor space. The following are key findings pertaining to the City of Apple Valley that were highlighted in the benchmark analysis: • Apple Valley has the lowest total park acres owned or managed among peer agencies, but has the second highest percentage of devel- oped acreage. • In terms of staffing, Apple Valley has signifi- cantly larger workforce than all other bench- mark communities when compared to the population served, with 20 FTEs per 10,000 residents. This can be partially attributed to the Department running a much higher vol- ume operation than its peers and offering unique facilities, such as the aquatic center, that are more labor-intensive. • At approximately $148 of operational expense per resident, the City expends more than all other agencies participating in the benchmark median and nearly double the national medi- an. • Assessing revenue generation, Apple Valley is also leading the benchmark by generating $66 of non-tax revenue per resident, which is also well above the NRPA median. • Due to its strong level of revenue generation, Apple Valley ranks first among benchmark agencies with a cost recovery level of 45%. This is well above best practice nationwide and speaks highly of the overall sustainability of the Department. • Apple Valley is reporting a 3-year capital in- vestment average that ranks last among peer agencies. Although it is investing at a much lower level, the annual capital budget is ex- periencing an increasing trend more recently. • On average, residents in Apple Valley are par- ticipating at a higher rate than all other bench- mark communities, as each resident partici- pates nearly six times per year in programs offered through the Department. • The City is providing the third highest amount of square feet of indoor community / recre- ation center space per resident (1.47). This level of service is in line with best practice lev- els nationwide, which is around 1.5 sq. ft. per resident, nationally. Community Vision A critical element of the Parks & Recreation Sys- tem Master Plan Update is gathering input from the community on issues and ideas that will help develop Apple Valley Parks to respond to local needs and desires. A community engagement process was undertaken that focused on local intercepts at Freedom Days, stakeholder meet- ings, and an online public survey which was made available through the City’s website, email sub- scriber lists, social media pages, and distributed to Eastview and Apple Valley High Schools. This plan is the result of over five months of community participation. The following ideas seem to carry high public val- ue pertaining to the City of Apple Valley and re- flected in the Community Vision: CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 7-11Parks and Recreation • Youth Athletics - the park system is wide- ly used for athletics according to 82.4% of survey respondents that selected "athletics" as the top reason for park use. Additionally, stakeholders and survey respondents sup- ported higher-quality and better maintained sports facilities including fields, baseball and softball facilities, indoor and outdoor ice facili- ties, and gym space. • Free Play - the second highest reason for park use was "free play" as selected by sur- vey respondents. Additionally, stakeholders and survey respondents supported including a fully accessible playground, nature play, ad- venture/ropes course, climbing walls, general playground updates/maintenance and more "open gym" time. • Multi-generational Health and Wellness Ini- tiatives - "Health and Wellness" is the third highest reason for park use according to the public respondents. Additionally, stakehold- ers and survey respondents emphasized the importance of multi-generation connections. There was public support for an expanded trail network with adequate wayfinding and crea- ture comforts (benches), indoor and outdoor fitness equipment, and a connected Senior Center Community Center space. • Community Gathering Space - "Group Gatherings" are not currently a big reason for park use, but there were a lot of stakehold- ers and survey respondents who placed value on these kinds of spaces. Support for flexible outdoor space for City-held or community held events, large family gatherings and picnicking, was expressed during community visioning. • Enhanced Connections Between Parks and Neighborhoods - Particular emphasis should be given to address that there are ad- equate sidewalk or trail connections to Parks and neighborhoods. This guiding principle was ranked lowest as being met by survey re- spondents expectations. • Communication - is a top priority for the City and residents. Apple Valley can increase communication and marketing efforts to raise awareness about current programs, facilities and offerings which may change public per- ception and lead to a new or different commu- nity vision. The Apple Valley Parks and Recreation Master Plan should be referred to for a complete under- standing of the Community Vision. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 7-12Parks and Recreation Frameworks Plan The Frameworks Plan defines the recommend- ed improvement strategies that will serve as a practical tool to guide the park system’s future development and redevelopment efforts. The Plan will help the City prioritize programs and projects as future decisions are made. The following Frameworks Plan outlines strat- egies for improvements that are organized around the Department's current and newly developed guiding principles. Creating parks that provide people with places to gather and play. Strategies: • Provide flexible spaces to accommodate changing trends in demand for park and open space programming. • Create destinations for large group/family gathering (i.e. large or clustered picnic shel- ters) • Provide a destination park that can accom- modate community events (i.e. food truck festivals, Oktoberfest, outdoor concerts, graduations, art fairs, race finish line festivi- ties, etc.) Keep in mind opportunities that will be attractive to Millennials and young families with improvements to night life (i.e. concerts in the park, beer dabblers, etc.). Suggestions: Johnny Cake East - Field A, Augustana Care south property. Distributing parks throughout the City. Strategies: • Continue maintaining existing parks through- out the City. • Establish parkland in areas with a gap in service including the areas presently being mined for sand and gravel, and in the area south of County Road #42 that is undevel- oped. • Establish, retain and maintain parks or open space along and adjacent to lakes, ponds and wetlands for public access. • Search areas for neighborhood parks: 1. South of Augustana Care (lease/rental agreement) 2. Near Spirit of Life Church 3. Fischer Sand and Aggregate Mine 4. Hope Church - a wooded triangle that can possibly accommodate an unpaved trail or nature play 5. Flagstaff open area - could support community gardens CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 7-13Parks and Recreation Connecting parks and neighborhoods with sidewalks and trails. Strategies: • Continue to maintain trails throughout parks and the City as a means for transportation and recreation. Look for connections East- West and develop a "Grand Rounds" full system connection. • Prioritize trails that connect neighborhoods to already established regional trails and con- nections, transit hubs, and destinations. • Connect to Lebanon Hills Regional Park • When possible, create linear parks or "green" corridors. Use trees and other vegetation to buffer users from traffic and other develop- ment. (Suggestions: Pilot Knob Road, Johnny Cake Ridge Road, 140th Street W, 150th Street W., 160th Street W.) • Provide strategic areas for rest. Areas surrounding downtown and areas surround- ing senior care facilities may require more frequent seating. • Encourage users with distance markings, wayfinding signage and identification of des- tinations and City landmarks along trails (i.e. Cobblestone Lake). • Partner with Dakota County Art Display Program to provide an Art Corridor (i.e. Edina Promenade). (Suggestions: Downtown Apple Valley, or at a possible new development at the Quarry) • Provide coordinated, yet age appropriate, programming to allow for siblings of varying ages to participate at the same time, at the same place. • Improve membership incentives at the Senior Center. (Suggestion: re-brand to Active Life- style Center and connect to the Community Center). • Develop loop trails within existing parks for recreation and circulation. (Suggestions: Johnny Cake East, Cortland) Matching facilities with the full spec- trum of ages, abilities and economic status. Creating a system that serves all residents. Strategies: • Address ADA accessibility system-wide with any new or redeveloped park projects. • Resurface playgrounds with an ADA-acces- sible surfacing (i.e. poured in place/synthetic surface, compacted wood fiber, etc.) and include minimum standards for accessibility. • Dedicate at least one City Playground to be fully accessible and address both cognitive and physical impairments. (Suggestions: Quarry Point Park) • Add benches along trails and in parks, es- pecially near aging population centers (i.e. senior care/housing facilities). • Provide programming to meet the needs of more residents with additional evening and weekend programs. • Provide additional programming including programming for passive adults (i.e. art, cooking, crafts), young adult/teens, and small children. • Continue the FREE summer playground pro- gram. Analyze the program for improvements to reinvent/revitalize it. Top: Trail distance markings can be directly applied to the trail surface (shown) or shown with a separate sign; Bottom: All-ages enjoying the annual Frozen Apple Concert. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 7-14Parks and Recreation Providing a wide range of indoor and outdoor recreation facilities. Strategies: • Combine Senior Center and Community Cen- ter Facilities with a central shared space (Ac- tive Lifestyle Center). Keep senior focused programming at the Senior Center weekday mornings and afternoons, and utilize space for additional community needs weekday evening and weekend. • Provide additional indoor gym space. Conduct a cost assessment for additional gym space. • Update and maintain warming houses and Park shelters to be multi-use. Consider elimi- nating warming houses with the elimination of rinks. • Diversify play equipment including nature play. Place nature play playgrounds at parks that offer other nature programming or trails. (Suggestion: Alimagnet or Farquar Park) • Diversify play equipment including climbing/ adventure play. Climbing/adventure play will include playground features like bouldering walls and ropes for climbing. Place at parks near middle schools or areas where older kids/teens look for more challenging play. • Provide turf fields at select parks for more consistent field conditions and longer playing seasons. The addition of turf fields into the system will help relieve pressure off non-turf fields and allow for proper field rest. • Consider permanent or temporary field house / sports dome turf facility. Include an indoor walking track for additional winter recreation opportunities. • Monitor the use of newly implemented outdoor fitness stations (i.e. Cobblestone). Add more as necessary. • Improve visitor and player experience at Hayes Arena by continuing to make updates and improvements to the facility. • Add picnic shelters and pavilions. With a lev- el of service recommendation of 11 addition- al shelters by 2030, the department should assess appropriate locations. (Suggestions: Kelley Park, Moeller, Heritage, Diamond Path, Cobblestone, Alimagnet, and any new neigh- borhood parks.) • Make improvements to the Pickleball facilities at the Community Center to keep Apple Valley as a top Pickleball provider for the South Met- ro. (Suggestions: sound attenuation, expand- ed shade structure over picnic tables, removal of the windscreen around picnic area, rules and regulations signage) • Complete an operational cost assessment of the Redwood Pool to determine its cost versus benefit to the community. The Family Aquatic Center and aquatic programming and services that ISD 196 provides at the middle schools may address community needs. • Follow trends in recreation and provide new uses as needed to accommodate demand. Siblings enjoying open gym.Top: The shaded area at the Community Center Pickleball facili- ties; Bottom: Shelter at Redwood CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 7-15Parks and Recreation Collaborating with other parties to coordinate the delivery of services to make effective use of financial re- sources. Strategies: • Ensure park dedication or a park dedication fee is collected for all new development where possible. • Continue to track volunteers, volunteer hours, and track partners . Ensure that the database that tracks all volunteers and volunteer hours also tracks partners, and partner resources leveraged (dollar value of partnering, if pos- sible). Assign volunteer and partner tracking responsibility to one staff person; include this in the job description. • Establish formal partnership policies and agreements. Following the best practice list- ed in the previous section, establish partner policies and agreements that are tailored to the different types of partnerships the City en- counters. Assign management of the policies and agreements to one staff person and in- clude this in his or her job description. • Continue to support the City/ISD196 partner- ship and to coordinate park use with educa- tional programs. • Continue and encourage partnerships with athletic organizations (i.e. EVAA, VAA) to col- laborate on park improvements on a shared- use basis. • Continue to enhance park and trail opportu- nities for the City with partnerships with other governmental agencies including Dakota County and surrounding cities. • Collaborate with the Arts foundation to deliver and promote arts and cultural events in parks. Using parks as a tool to control flood- ing, help preserve the quality of the surface water, replenish the ground water supply, reduce air pollution and preserve natural resources. Strategies: • Establish, retain and maintain parks or open space along and adjacent to lakes, ponds and wetlands for stormwater detention, and resource protection. • Dedicate areas to restore as native vegeta- tion or pollinator habitats where appropriate, eliminating maintenance-intensive turf grass. • Incorporate rain gardens, natural vegetative buffers, and other stormwater management techniques best suited to that park area, where appropriate. • Make habitat modifications and improve- ments that will benefit fish, wildlife, and native plantings within the City’s park and open space areas. Using Best Management Prac- tices (BMP’s), buffer lakes, ponds, wetlands and streams with native grasses and other ecologically appropriate plant species. • Develop a natural resource plan that will enhance the park system and provide the City with specific initiatives to manage natural resources (i.e. Buckthorn removal.) Top: Butterflies and other pollinators attracted to native flora. Bot- tom: Natural areas are an important community asset that should be explored. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 7-16Parks and Recreation Effectively providing information to residents and visitors that will elevate awareness of the park and recreation system and services. Communication is essential to the success of pro- grams and park system use. This guiding principle was developed because of the lack of awareness by residents, visitors and stakeholders of park and recreation system and services. Strategies: • Educate the community on the recreational and educational opportunities that currently exist in the parks system. • Update the City website, using mobile phone and tablet friendly web templates. Include an events calendar (i.e. City of St. Louis Park). • Keep communication strong through social media outlets. Have a dedicated staff person in charge of regular updates. • Advertise and promote events by partnering with local media, businesses and partners. • Continue to develop and enhance printed materials including the Parks and Recreation newsletter/brochure. • Continue the Medallion Search and consid- er implementing additional Parks Contest to promote and highlight use of the parks. (Sug- gestions: Photo Contest, Park "Passports", ParkRX partnership) • Allow for facility rental information to be dis- played on the City website. Developing a park and recreation sys- tem that is innovative. Strategies: • Continue updating and enhancing the Ap- ple Valley Aquatic Center. The Apple Valley Aquatic Center is an important community re- source and provides many jobs for some of Apple Valley's younger residents. • Explore resident/non-resident membership/ season pass options for the Aquatic Center in place of, or in addition to, a punch card. • Outdoor Ice usage attendance has dropped 34% from 2014-2016, however the dates that ice was available to residents has decreased over the years and the average daily atten- dance is actually higher. With warming tem- peratures, outdoor ice conditions are feasible over shorter spans and can be more costly to maintain. Consider eliminating some less pop- ular rinks and add a refrigerated ice rink that can be used for a longer period of time and throughout changing weather patterns. • The Community preferred the addition of a Adventure Play/Ropes course. This type of facility is typically not seen at parks in the met- ro area. Due to the popularity of this new fa- cility, ideal locations include highly accessible community parks such as Johnny Cake Ridge Park East/West, Hayes, Quarry Point Park, or Redwood. Explore partnerships with the MN Zoo, or private/public partnerships (i.e. oper- ated privately with use on park land) • Explore locations for an amphitheater/band- shell. Look for a central location with ample parking. • Provide spaces for unique activities in parks. (i.e. Bocce Courts for league use, hammock groves, etc.) • Provide food and beverage services (i.e. Bi- ergarden, cafe, food trucks, etc.). This type of service could be run by an outside partner. • Determine need for additional staff to manage and take on projects outlined in the plan. Ropes courses can be of varying degrees of difficulty. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-1Transportation 8. Transportation The 2040 Transportation Plan is an integrated component of the Apple Valley Comprehensive Plan Update. The transporta- tion plan is a key component of the city’s Comprehensive Plan that assesses all modes of transportation, including streets and highways; trails and sidewalks; transit facilities; and airport accessibility. This plan expresses the location, limits, function, and capacity of all transportation facilities in the City of Apple Valley. The State of Minnesota, through the enactment of the Metro- politan Land Planning Act (M.S. 473.859, Subd.3(1)) requires the Metropolitan Council’s review of each metropolitan commu- nity transportation plan to assure conformity with the region- al development framework. The Metropolitan Council’s 2040 Transportation Policy Plan (TPP) is the planning document that provides guidance for policies and strategies included in the 2040 Apple Valley Transportation Plan. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-2Transportation Introduction and Authority The 2040 Transportation Plan is an integrated component of the Apple Valley Comprehensive Plan Update. The transportation plan is a key component of the city’s Comprehensive Plan that assesses all modes of transportation, including streets and highways; trails and sidewalks; transit facilities; and airport accessibility. This plan ex- presses the location, limits, function, and capacity of all transportation facilities in the City of Apple Valley. The State of Minnesota, through the enactment of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act (M.S. 473.859, Subd.3(1)) requires the Metropolitan Council’s re- view of each metropolitan community transporta- tion plan to assure conformity with the regional de- velopment framework. The Metropolitan Council’s 2040 Transportation Policy Plan (TPP) is the plan- ning document that provides guidance for policies and strategies included in the 2040 Apple Valley Transportation Plan. Background and Purpose of the Transportation Plan The City of Apple Valley recognizes the changing travel needs of its residents, commuters, visitors, commercial transporters, pedestrians, and cyclists making trips within and through the community. To provide for safe, multimodal transportation facili- ties that offer adequate capacity (existing and fu- ture) with a high level of mobility, a transportation improvement plan that corresponds to the City’s overall comprehensive plan must be adopted and implemented. The 2040 Apple Valley Transportation Plan de- scribes, designates, and schedules the location, extent, function, and capacity for all transportation modes within the community. To be consistent with the regional policy, the 2040 Apple Valley Trans- portation Plan includes the following elements: • An assignment of socio-economic forecasts (population, households, and employment) to traffic analysis zones (TAZs); • a street and highway plan that maps and de- scribes existing roads and planned improve- ments, analyzes traffic volumes, and address- es safety and capacity issues; • a bicycle and pedestrian plan; • a transit plan for facilities and service; and • an aviation plan that identifies aviation-related facilities and addresses airspace protections. Goals, Objectives, and Policies Transportation goals and policies reflect the vision for Apple Valley’s transportation system. These goals and policies help to guide future priorities and investment. They also provide a means to measure the performance of the transportation system over time, and as necessary an opportuni- ty to revise or supplement the desires of the com- munity. The goals and policies listed below are not ranked or presented in any order, importance, or need. Apple Valley Goals and Policies Goal 1. Continue to establish and maintain an interconnected affordable network of road- ways, transit service, bicycle trails and pe- destrian facilities between neighborhoods, recreational and community facilities, and commercial centers, as well as connections outside of Apple Valley to the interconnected Metropolitan Region. Policy 1.1 Work collaboratively with key stake- holders including Dakota County, Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce, and affected property owners on solutions that sustain, grow, unify and keep the downtown vital. Policy 1.2 Coordinate regional roadway preserva- tion improvements with other transportation sys- tem partners in the community, including: the Min- nesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), Dakota County, Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA), and school transit providers. Policy 1.3 Look for opportunities with neighboring jurisdictions to enhance local street connectivity between communities. Also, utilize the Regional Bicycle Transportation Network (RBTN) to provide continuity across major barriers and between ju- risdictions for bicycle connectivity. Policy 1.4Prioritize investments in A-minor arte- rials that build, manage, or improve the system’s CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-3Transportation ability to supplement the capacity of the principal arterial system. Goal 2. Integrate and achieve a balanced mix of all transportation modes. All transporta- tion projects within the city affect all modes of transportation. Consequently, all projects should be evaluated as to the impact on each mode. Policy 2.1 Utilize Complete Streets principles to meet the travel needs of pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users. Policy 2.2 Promote design best practices, espe- cially in provided and improving facilities for bicy- clists and pedestrians, who are the most vulnera- ble users of the transportation system. Policy 2.3 Facilitate neighborhood pedestrian and bicycle connections to highway-oriented commer- cial districts. While also promoting safe pathways for pedestrians and bicyclists in parking lots and internal traffic circulation areas. Policy 2.4 Review new developments for adequa- cy of parking based upon need and the potential for joint use of parking facilities. Policy 2.5 Provide and protect efficient connec- tions from major freight facilities to the regional highway system. Goal 3. Protect investments in the transpor- tation system through strategic preservation, maintenance, and operation of system assets. Policy 3.1 Maintain pavement and permanent right-of-way fixtures associated with the local roadway, bridge, trail, and sidewalk system using routine inspections, maintenance programs, and improvement programs coordinated by the Apple Valley Public Works Department. Policy 3.2 Existing roadways should be upgraded when warranted by demonstrated volume, safety, or functional needs. Utilizing performance mea- sures to catalog system deficiencies and identify- ing the level of satisfaction experienced by users of the transportation system. Policy 3.3 Protect and strengthen the role of the regional transportation system to provide secure and effective emergency response to serious inci- dents and threats through transportation improve- ments and municipal policy. Policy 3.4 Invest in transportation improvements that will attract and retain businesses and workers within Apple Valley, and pursue design alterna- tives that reflect the values of its citizens. Goal 4. Improve the functionality and safety of the transportation system as a whole. Policy 4.1 Reduce travel demand by encouraging programs that provide alternatives to single occu- pant vehicles. Work with businesses, developers, and transit providers during the plan review pro- cess to plan for multimodal strategies and options. Policy 4.2 Coordinate with regional governments, transit agencies, and rideshare programs to cap- ture the environmental and social costs of com- muting and incentivize alternatives to single-occu- pancy vehicle trips. Goal 5. Work with local entities to continue to enhance transit usage in Apple Valley while providing linkages both locally and regionally via transit. Policy 5.1 Continue to work with MVTA to de- termine future transit services consistent with the city’s transit market and its associated service standards and strategies. Policy 5.2 The city will develop a transportation system that is cost-feasible, where expenditures satisfy a public transportation policy. Policy 5.2 Provide trail connections to transit fa- cilities. Goal 6. Ensure the Apple Valley transportation system is resilient, sustainable, and able to evolve with societal advancements and chang- es, safeguarding investments for many years to come. Policy 6.1 Consider opportunities to improve the city’s intelligent transportation system (ITS) infra- structure to be prepared to potentially support au- tonomous and connected vehicles (AV/CV) in the future. Policy 6.2 Utilize projects with significant invest- ments (i.e., construction and reconstruction proj- ects) to implement AV/CV technology. Policy 6.3 Mitigate impacts to the natural environ- ment and cultural resources when planning, con- structing, and operating transportation systems. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-4Transportation Roadway System Roadway Jurisdictional Classification System Jurisdiction over Apple Valley’s roadway system is divided among the state, county, and city. The system includes the interstate and Trunk Highway (TH) system, managed by MnDOT, and the Coun- ty State Aid Highway (CSAH) and County Road system, managed by Dakota County. All remaining public streets and roadways are the city’s respon- sibility. Roadway jurisdiction is based on several factors, including the following: • Length of road/length of trip served; • Connections to roads of similar jurisdiction level; • Average daily traffic; • Functional classification; and • Special facilities served. In general, the following relationships are ob- served and are depicted on Figure 1: • Roadways that serve regional, inter-county or statewide transportation needs are typically owned and maintained by the State (MnDOT). • Roadways that serve inter-city and sub-re- gional needs generally qualify as CSAHs or county roads and are owned and maintained by Dakota County. • Roadways that primarily serve local transpor- tation needs are owned and maintained by the City of Apple Valley. Metropolitan Highway System Roadways within Apple Valley that are under Mn- DOT’s jurisdiction include: • Interstate 35E; and • TH 77 County Road System In addition to the metropolitan highway system, most of the city’s main transportation corridors are part of the county highway system. Roadways within Apple Valley that are under Dakota County jurisdiction include: • CSAH 11; • CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue); • CSAH 31 (Pilot Knob Road); • CSAH 33 (Diamond Path); • CSAH 38 (McAndrews Road); • CSAH 42 (150th Street); and • CSAH 46 (160th Street). Local Street System The city’s remaining public streets and roadways constitute the local city street system. Roadway Functional Classification System The purpose of a functional classification sys- tem is to create a hierarchy of roads that collects and distributes traffic from neighborhoods to the county and state highway systems in as efficient a manner as possible. Roads are placed into func- tional categories based on the degree to which they provide access to adjacent land or provide mobility to through traffic. Ideally, roads are de- signed to perform a designated function and are located to best serve the type of travel needed. Transportation issues arise when roadway design is inconsistent with the functional demands im- posed on the roadway. The functional classification system used in the City of Apple Valley is like that of the Metropolitan Council except for the minor collector designation which is currently not reflected on the Metropolitan Council network but is part of the city’s system. This designation is proposed to be added to the Metropolitan Council’s system as documented lat- er in this chapter. Apple Valley’s functional classifi- cation system, as currently recognized by the Met- ropolitan Council (illustrated on Figure 3), includes the following four primary categories: • Principal Arterials • Minor Arterials (A Minor and Other Arterials) • Major Collectors • Local Streets CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-5Transportation Figure 1. Jurisdictional Classification CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-6Transportation The A Minor/Other Arterials and Major/Minor Col- lector designations were adopted by the Metropol- itan Council as a means for identifying roadways which are oriented toward mobility or through-trips (A-Minor and Major Collectors) versus those that are oriented more toward accessibility or land ac- cess (Other Arterials or Minor Collectors). Figure 2 depicts the relationship between land access and mobility and how the different classifications of roads provide varying degrees of mobility ver- sus land access. Table 1 details criteria for road- way functional classification per the Metropolitan Council’s classification system. Figure 2.

Roadway Functional Classification Criteria CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-10Transportation Principal Arterials Principal arterials are part of the metropolitan high- way system and provide high-speed mobility be- tween the Twin Cities and important locations out- side the metropolitan area. They are also intended to connect the central business districts of the two central cities with each other and with other re- gional business concentrations in the metropolitan area. Principal arterials are generally constructed as limited access freeways in the urban area, but may also be constructed as multiple-lane divided highways. Apple Valley is served by three principal arterials: I-35E, TH 77 (north of CSAH 42), and CSAH 42 (150th Street) (as shown in Figure 3). Table 2 provides an overview of the principal ar- terial roadways within Apple Valley. It identifies the number of travel lanes along with the existing (2014) traffic volumes for each principal arterial in the City. Table 2.

Minor Arterials Minor arterials are intended to connect important locations inside and outside of the city. They gener- ally connect to principal arterials or other minor ar- terials or collectors. While there is generally more access to minor arterials than principal arterials, the emphasis is still on mobility. Major business concentrations and other important traffic genera- tors are commonly located on minor arterials. The Metropolitan Council has identified minor arteri- als that are of regional importance because they relieve traffic on the principal arterials or substi- tute for principal arterials when necessary. These roads have been labeled as Minor arterials and categorized into four types: Relievers, Expanders, Connectors, and Augmenters. • A Minor – Relievers are roadways that provide direct relief for traffic on major metropolitan highways (principal arterials). • A Minor – Expanders are routes that provide a way to make connections between developing areas outside the interstate ring. • A Minor – Connectors are roadways that pro- vide good, safe connections among town cen- ters. • A Minor – Augmenters are roadways that aug- ment principal arterials within the interstate ring. Within Apple Valley, the following roadways are classified as “A” minor arterials: • CSAH 11 – Expander CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-11Transportation • CSAH 38 (McAndrews Road) – Expander • CSAH 31 (Pilot Knob Road) – Expander • CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue: south of CSAH 42) – Expander • CSAH 46 (160th Street) – Expander There is one “Other” arterial roadway within Apple Valley that runs north-south through the City: • CSAH 33 (Diamond Path) Tables 3 and 4 provide an overview of the minor arterials within Apple Valley.

Collectors As noted previously, the Metropolitan Council’s functional classification system provides for two types of collector streets (Major and Minor), which provide a balance between land access and mo- bility and move local street traffic to the arterial roadway system. Major collector roadways are designed to serve shorter trips that occur primar- ily within the city, and collect and distribute traf- fic from neighborhoods and employment centers to the arterial system. These streets are typically CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-12Transportation part of the city’s municipal state aid system. The city’s major collector system includes the following streets (as shown in Figure 3): • Galaxie Avenue; • 140th Street; • Garden View Drive (south of CSAH 38/McAn- drews Road); and • Johnny Cake Ridge Road (north of CSAH 42/150th Street). The number of travel lanes and existing (2014) traffic volumes for the city’s four major collectors are provided in Table 5. Minor collector roadways collect and distribute traf- fic from neighborhoods to the major collector and arterial networks. These roads are generally short- er and less continuous than major collectors, but serve to supplement those streets. These streets are typically part of the city’s municipal state aid system. As noted previously, the Metropolitan Council’s 2017 Functional Classification system does not identify any minor collector streets within the City of Apple Valley. Table 5.

CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-13Transportation Local Streets All other public and private streets within Apple Valley are classified as local streets. Local streets provide the highest level of direct access and car- ry the lowest traffic volumes at the lowest speeds. Recommended Changes to Functional Clas- sification System The functional classification system for roadways in the City of Apple Valley was reviewed to ensure appropriate network connectivity is maintained and for consistency with the functional classifica- tion criteria established by the Metropolitan Coun- cil. In addition, coordination with Dakota County took place to understand their perspective regard- ing county roads within the city; this coordination yielded the proposed change of CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue) from an A minor arterial to a principal ar- terial from CSAH 42 to the south city limits and CSAH 46. The functional classification system illustrated in Figure 4 is representative of future conditions for principal and minor arterial classifi- cations in the City of Apple Valley. There are also changes proposed to the collec- tor/local functional classifications. The proposed changes are based on the Federal Highway Ad- ministration’s Functional Classification Manual cri- teria, Metropolitan Council guidance and several other factors, including: • Estimated trip length, • Trip type, • Connections to activity centers, • Spacing, • Continuity, • Mobility, • Accessibility, and • Speed Given these criteria, the following roadways are recommended to be reclassified from local streets per the Metropolitan Council’s 2017 Functional Classification system (as identified in Figure 3) to minor collectors. The minor collector designation acknowledges each of the roadways’ function of providing connections to major collectors and ar- terial routes while emphasizing land access over mobility. • Palomino Drive • 127th Street • Evermoor Parkway • 132nd Street • Ellice Trail • 142nd Street • Essex Avenue • 145th Street • 147th Street • 153rd Street CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-14Transportation Figure 4.

The descriptions highlight the issues and opportunities facing some of the key road- ways in the city. Dakota County 2030 Transportation Plan The Dakota County 2030 Transportation Plan (June 2012) is the most current, complete plan for the county road system in Dakota County. It is referenced as part of the county’s Draft Compre- hensive Plan (DC2040). It identifies major trans- portation system investments and prioritizes the anticipated needs associated with preservation, management, replacement, and transportation al- ternatives goals. The plan identifies county highway expansion needs within the city. It also notes that TH 77 (be- tween CSAH 32 and 140th Street) is forecasted to experience a capacity deficiency over the plan period assuming no additional highway improve- ments are made. The expansion needs identified include: • CSAH 38 (McAndrews Road): Future four- lane need from CSAH 31 to east city bound- ary, requiring 150 feet of right-of-way. • CSAH 42: Future six-lane (or more) need from west city boundary to east city boundary, re- quiring 200 feet (or more) of right-of-way. • CSAH 46: Future six-lane need from west city boundary to east city boundary, requiring 200 feet of right-of-way. • CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue): Future need for more than six-lanes from Highway 77 termi- ni to the south city boundary, requiring more than 200 feet of right-of-way. The Dakota County Plan also identifies inter- change needs, that until the county updates its plan to 2040 timeframe, which include: • CSAH 23/140th Street West • CSAH 23/147th Street West • CSAH 23/ CSAH 42 • CSAH 23/ CSAH 46 • CSAH 31/CSAH 42 • CSAH 31/CSAH 46 At the time the Apple Valley Transportation Plan was completed, none of these identified needs have been programmed or planned by Dakota County. Therefore, they are not immediately ac- counted for as part of this municipal plan 2040 roadway system assumptions. Identified needs based on the analysis contained herein is provid- ed later in the Plan. Orchard Place Land Use Concept In 2017 Apple Valley completed a concept study for the Orchard Place development located south of CSAH 42 and east of Flagstaff Avenue. This land use concept identifies the following land uses within the area: low and high density residential; commercial; office, and industrial. Planned land development and increased travel demand will at- tract additional traffic to the area. Thus, three im- portant local collector streets are planned for the area: • Johnny Cake Ridge Road will be extended from CSAH 42 to 157th Street. • 153rd Street will extend to the east and con- nect with 155th Street at Pilot Knob Road. • Local streets will be constructed to run north/ south and east/west to provide internal traffic circulation from 155th Street to Johnny Cake Ridge Road extensions. Downtown “Ring Route” The downtown area of Apple Valley is near Cedar Avenue and CSAH 42. The area has been desig- nated as the shopping, service and employment center of the community. Distinctive streetscape improvements were built in 1990 to allow local traffic to patronize local businesses. This is known as the downtown “ring route”. The city should ensure that the transportation el- ements in the downtown area continue to accom- modate existing and future travel demand to serve the community shopping and service needs of its residents due to its convenient location to Apple Valley residents, contribution to the city tax base, and its significance as an activity hub in the city. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-16Transportation “Great Streets” Concept The Vision chapter of the Apple Valley Compre- hensive Plan states that the city should be a place of “great streets”. A great street extends beyond the street surface to the sidewalks and landscap- ing in the adjacent right-of-way. A great street provides for the safe and efficient movement of vehicles while encouraging travel by bicycles and pedestrians. A great street supports and enhanc- es land use. A great street adds to the quality of life and identity of Apple Valley. The street system should be designed to avoid unintended traffic patterns and volumes. Therefore, the city should implement the “great streets” concept when plan- ning future improvements to transportation corri- dors such as CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue), CSAH 42, and the Downtown Ring Route. Programmed or Planned Improvements Programmed improvements are those improve- ments that have been approved for implementa- tion with funding sources already identified. Pro- grammed improvements are identified in MnDOT’s Metro Capital Highway Investment Plan (CHIP), Metropolitan Council’s 2040 Transportation Policy Plan (TPP), Dakota County’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), and the City of Apple Valley’s CIP.

Coordination with Other Jurisdictions The City of Apple Valley should continue to coor- dinate with adjacent jurisdictions (i.e., Burnsville, Eagan, Rosemount, and Lakeville), Dakota Coun- ty, and MnDOT when planning future improve- ments. Coordination among jurisdictions provides opportunities for collaboration that could benefit all agencies and the public. This collaboration can result in financial and time savings through econ- omies of scale, as well as potentially reducing construction impacts to residents through the co- ordination of projects. In addition, the City should coordinate with MVTA when planning roadway im- provements, since transit enhancements can of- ten be incorporated into roadway projects. 2040 Forecast Traffic Volumes Year 2040 daily traffic volumes were developed by considering the historical traffic growth rates on each roadway in Apple Valley, the broader Met- ropolitan Council regional travel demand activi- ty-based model trends, and previously prepared forecasts for roadways in the area. In areas where land development is anticipated, the projected traf- fic volume was compared to generalized traffic trip rates for the development types and the traffic vol- umes adjusted as necessary. For documentation purposes, Figure 6 presents the roadway network and Transportation Analysis Zones for the City of Apple Valley contained in the Metropolitan Council regional travel demand model. Figure 7 presents the existing (2014) and forecast (2040) traffic vol- umes for all roadways within Apple Valley. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-18Transportation Figure 5.

Transportation Analysis Zones CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-21Transportation Capacity Assessment As noted on the city’s website, the development of Apple Valley has included a well-planned system of streets that fulfill travel desires of residents and employees in the city. However, as the city nears full development, issues have arisen regarding roadway capacity and safety. To gain a clearer understanding of the primary areas of concern re- garding roadway capacity constraints, an assess- ment of the existing and forecast operational con- cerns through the community has been completed using the existing (2014) and 2040 traffic forecast data. Existing and Forecast Roadway Capacity De- ficiencies To assess capacity deficiencies, existing (2014) and forecast (2040) traffic volumes were reviewed, along with design capacity guidelines. For exam- ple, traffic operations data indicates that two-lane roadways begin to experience noticeable prob- lems once traffic volumes exceed approximately 10,000 trips per day. The capacity thresholds presented in Table 6 were used to identify segments of roadway that are ei- ther nearing capacity or exceeding capacity of the roadway type. Figures 8 and 9 illustrate the exist- ing (2014) and future (2040) capacity deficiencies within the community. Several segments of county facilities are currently experiencing and/or are pro- jected to experience capacity deficiencies. Exist- ing roadways that are near their design capacity include the following: • I-35E from west city limits (140th Street) to north city limits (TH 77) • CSAH 38 (McAndrew Road W) from CSAH 31 (Pilot Knob Road) to east city limits • CSAH 31 (Pilot Knob Road) from CSAH 38 (McAndrew Road W to north city limits • CSAH 31 (Pilot Knob Road) from 140th Street to south city limits • CSAH 42 (150th Street) from CSAH 31 (Pilot Knob Road) to west city limits • CSAH 46 (160th Street) from east city limits to west city limits • 140th Street from TH 77 to CSAH 31 (Pilot Knob Road) • Galaxie Avenue from 140th Street to 147th Street Some of these roadways are under Dakota Coun- ty jurisdiction and are major transportation corri- dors within the county highway system. Overall, the local roadway system within the city has been designed to serve local transportation needs. Conflicts can result when regional traffic uses local roads as alternative routes. The local roads used as relievers to the regional system are typically those that serve a collector road- way function. Residential property owners along these routes recognize the increase in traffic when congestion on the regional system occurs. This increase in traffic can create conflicts with those residential land uses. Although the city recognizes that collector roads may be used in this manner, some methods can be employed to discourage the use of these roadways by regional traffic.

Forecast Year 2040 Roadway Deficiencies CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-25Transportation Safety Assessment In addition to capacity issues, roadway safety is a major concern and a priority for all jurisdictional levels. Crash locations and statistics for the city are recorded in MnDOT’s crash mapping software (MnCMAT). A five-year reporting period beginning January 1, 2011 and ending December 31, 2015 was utilized in this assessment. Reported crashes during this time-period are listed in Table 7. For more local context an additional five years of data was reviewed to determine the top 10 local inter- sections with issues, by frequency – summarized in Table 8. Most crashes occur along Pilot Knob Road/150th Street, Pilot Knob Road/CSAH 46 (160th Street), Cedar Avenue/150th Street and at County Road intersections. Since these are major county roads and highways, it is assumed that most of the crashes on these facilities occur during the morn- ing (6:00 a.m. - 10 a.m.) and evening (3:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.) rush hour periods when traffic volumes are higher and more conflicts occur. Overall, the crash frequency on local city streets is relatively moderate. A more rigorous investigation of crash rates, types, and severity for all the top crash locations in Apple Valley is suggested prior to drawing conclusions regarding appropriate cor- rective measures. As improvements in these corri- dors and intersections are considered, these safe- ty concerns should be explored more thoroughly. Table 7.

Access management measures include: • Providing adequate spacing between access points and intersecting streets to separate and reduce conflicts • Limiting the number of driveway access points to reduce conflicts • Aligning access with other existing access points • Sharing access points, through internal con- nectivity between property owners • Encouraging indirect access rather than direct access to high volume arterial roads • Constructing parallel roads and frontage roads • Implementing sight distance guidelines to im- prove safety • Using channelization to manage and control turning movements • Meeting these requirements while also main- taining appropriate access to local businesses Access review is a major aspect of the City’s de- velopment review process. The goal is to main- tain safety and adequate capacity of the City’s roadways while providing adequate land access. Most roadways serve accessibility and mobility functions to some degree based on their function- al classification. The City will continue to support MnDOT and Dakota County Access Management guidelines on the roadway network in the City through the measures listed above. For reference, MnDOT’s Highway Access Category System and Spacing Guidelines can be found at: https://www. dot.state.mn.us/accessmanagement/resources. html Traffic Calming Traffic calming is the management of traffic to im- prove safety not only for vehicles, but other users of the roadway such as pedestrians and cyclists. Management techniques include the physical modification of the street to divert nonlocal traffic off local roadways and influence the behavior of drivers using the street, particularly to lower the vehicle speed. The objective is to achieve a traffic behavior pattern that is compatible with other ap- propriate street activities and adjacent land uses. Examples of traffic calming measures include narrow streets, roundabouts, medians, curb ex- tensions (bump-outs), crosswalks, and entry treatments. The city will review these techniques during the design process for local road construc- tion and reconstruction to determine if they are ap- propriate. Traffic calming measures will generally be considered for local streets only if: • The measure selected is consistent with the problem being addressed. • The measure will not divert traffic onto other local streets or degrade public safety. • State Aid Design Standards are met, if appli- cable. Right-of-Way Preservation There are many different techniques available to protect right-of-way corridors for future road im- provements. The basic approaches can be sum- marized as follows: • Land acquisition (purchase of easements, title purchase, and eminent domain). In general, land acquisition is an approach applied when specific improvements are eminent. The ap- plicability of acquisition is directly linked to the availability of funding. • Landowner agreements (development agree- ments, transferable development rights). Landowner agreements are often limited in ef- fectiveness when dealing with a large project area. They are applied on a parcel-by-parcel basis and are most effective when dealing with larger land holdings and when specific improvements are eminent. • Land use regulations (development exactions, setback ordinances, official map, subdivision regulations). Land use regulation techniques are facilitated through the comprehensive planning process. Certain regulations such as setback ordinances can be applied communi- ty-wide while others such as official maps are typically developed for individual corridors and require a more significant level of corridor defi- nition. • Access management (limiting curb cuts, re- verse lot frontage). Access management prin- cipals should be a centerpiece of any commu- nity’s transportation plan. To be successful, CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-27Transportation it is important that the guidelines are applied consistently and uniformly at the time platting occurs. In summary, the applicability of these options is dependent on many factors including available funding, the immediacy of development, and the timing of the need for the road improvements. Transit System As designated by the Metropolitan Council, Apple Valley is in the Metropolitan Transit Taxing District, and is composed of three Transit Market Areas: II, III, and Emerging Market Area IV. Market Area II features limited stop service to connect major des- tinations and a network of local routes with mod- erate level of service and frequency. Service op- tions for Transit Market Area III include peak-only express, small vehicle circulators, midday circu- lators, special needs paratransit (ADA, seniors), and ridesharing. Figure 10 illustrates current tran- sit system routes, stops, and support facilities in Apple Valley (described in greater detail in the next section). Existing Transit System Bus Service Transit service in Apple Valley is provided by the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA). The MVTA is an independent transportation agency for the cities of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Prior Lake, Roseville, Savage, and Shakopee, formed under state legislation that allowed outer-ring sub- urbs to “opt-out” of centrally provided transporta- tion services. The MVTA operates peak express service to downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul, local crosstown service, and reverse commute express services. MVTA currently operates several bus routes along Apple Valley’s principal and minor arterial routes. Current routes include 420 Local Flex Route, 440 Local Route, 442 Local Route, 475 Minneapolis/ University of Minnesota Express, 476 Minneapo- lis Express, 477 Minneapolis Express, 478 Min- neapolis Express, 479 Minneapolis Express and 480 St. Paul Express Route. Bus service is more frequent during the A.M. and P.M. peak commute times, with only a few Express Routes offering trips in the middle of the day. Demand-Response Service Unique transit needs in the community are pre- sented by populations housed in group quarters and facilities that offer specialty care services for temporarily or permanently disabled populations and seniors. The transit needs of these popula- tions are varied and are typically provided by spe- cialized paratransit providers that offer express or demand-response services, such as the Metro Mobility program administered by the Metropolitan Council. Dial-a-ride service for seniors and per- sons with disabilities is also provided by Dakota Area Resources and Transportation for Seniors (DARTS). DARTS is a non-profit that provides demand responsive services for seniors among other social services. It is funded by Dakota Coun- ty, donations, and receives Performance Based Funding Grants from the Metropolitan Council. Transit Facilities Park and Ride MVTA operates three park and ride facilities in Ap- ple Valley where passengers may park their cars free of charge and board a bus, carpool or van- pool. The park and ride facilities include the Apple Valley Transit Station, the Palomino Hills Park & Ride Lot, and the 157th Street Station. Apple Valley Transit Station, established in 1998 and located on Cedar Avenue by 155th Street W, features 768 parking spaces both in structured and surface parking. The facility also includes an indoor climate-controlled waiting area, restrooms, and bike lockers and bike racks. Furthermore, the parking deck connects to a pedestrian bridge, which crosses over Cedar Avenue to a METRO Red Line station. This station is served by all southbound buses, as well as eastbound Route 420/442. Per Metro Transit’s 2016 Park and Ride System Report, the Apple Valley Transit Station is at capacity and relies on overflow lots to meet con- sumer demand. Bus routes 420, 440, 442, 475, 477, and 480 serve this station, as well as the METRO Red Line. Palomino Hills Park & Ride Lot opened in 1993 and is located just west of Cedar Avenue and CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-28Transportation south of Palomino Drive on Pennock Avenue. The park and ride facility features 318 parking spaces, a heated shelter, bike lockers, and a newspaper rack. The station predominantly serves residents in the northern part of Apple Valley. In the past five years, the Park and Ride experienced above 75 percent utilization; however, recently utilization fell below 60 percent. Bus routes 440, 476, 477 and 480 serve this park and ride facility. The 157th Street Station opened in 2006 and is located on Pilot Knob Road between CSAH 46 (160th Street) and 157th Street next to Quarry Point Park. This station features 250 parking spac- es, an indoor climate-controlled waiting area, a re- stroom and bike lockers. As shown in Table 9, the station experiences low park and ride utilization relative to previous years. The utilization may re- bound with the redevelopment of Orchard Place, located north of the station. Routes 477 and 479 serve the 157th Street Station. Table 9.

Bus Stop and Stations Stations along the METRO Red Line feature in- door climate-controlled shelters with electronic signage displaying arrival times. All stations have a similar design featuring a sinuous roofline and large windows thus, visually uniform and easy to identify. Transit Advantages Bus-only shoulders allow buses to use the road- way shoulder to bypass automobiles that are in the general-purpose lanes. The METRO Red Line and MTVA routes use shoulders along Cedar Av- enue in situations where the commuter traffic is slower than 35 miles an hour. Metro bypass allows a bus to enter the highway without waiting for metered passenger traffic. There is one meter bypass in Apple Valley, en- tering Cedar Avenue northbound from Palomino Drive. Travel Demand Management Travel demand management (TDM) is a set of techniques used to reduce peak period vehicle trips by shifting travelers from driving alone into shared ride arrangements or by encouraging al- ternative work arrangements, such as flextime and telecommuting, which remove trips from the peak travel times. Travel demand management techniques are best implemented through a part- nership of cities, regional and state agencies, and employers to encourage travelers to change their behavior through incentives, enhanced services, and high occupancy facilities. Ridesharing is a travel demand management tool being used in Apple Valley to include Metro Com- muter Services, which provides carpool-matching services to employers and individuals. The city supports travel demand management to alleviate congestion on roadways within the city. The city will encourage transit-friendly design and employer participation in travel demand manage- ment in the development review process. The city will work with businesses within the community to encourage the development of voluntary trav- el demand management programs. Development plans will also be reviewed to ensure transit is ac- CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-29Transportation commodated where it is feasible. Programmed or Planned Improvements METRO Red Line Improvements associated with the METRO Red Line include an initial study for the Palomino Sta- tion. The station concept design is confronted by space constraints largely caused by the Cedar Avenue entrance and exit ramps at Palomino Drive/127th Street West. To remediate the cur- rent space limitations, an alternative concept de- sign that includes removing the entrance and exit ramps was explored in the Cedar Avenue Corridor Transitway Implementation Plan Update (2015). The concept design would create enough space for the METRO Red Line to safely reach stations and create more parking spaces to supplement in- creased use at the Palomino Park and Ride. The expansion may include as many as 700 new, dedicated spaces to support ridership at the Pal- omino METRO Red Line Station. The expansion is in response to a market study that showed the need for more park and ride opportunities in the northern part of Apple Valley in 2011. There has been difficulty acquiring land near the 140th Street and 147th Street Stations to support a park and ride. Park and Ride Facilities Improvements associated with the METRO Red Line include a study of parking expansion at the Palomino Park and Ride with a conceptual station envisioned, described in detail in the previous sec- tion. The 157th Street Park and Ride will need to be monitored for performance and adequacy as Or- chard Place fills with new development. Apple Valley Transit Station currently has 750 parking spaces in both structured and surface parking. Due to consistent peak capacity, expan- sion may be warranted. Future Transit Opportunities The City of Apple Valley may directly work with MVTA and DARTS to influence the decisions of these organizations. They city may also weigh in on the planning and management of the METRO Red Line. The city should continue to fully engage the decision-making processes within these orga- nizations and programs to ensure an effective and high-level transit service in the city. With the redevelopment at Orchard Place and welcoming of hundreds of new jobs, there should be a focus on inviting large employers to engage in TDM measures. Employers can assist with tran- sit promotion and transit alternatives, like carpool- ing. Along this line, the city staff can connect em- ployers, especially new firms, to the planning and services offered by MVTA and DARTS. Collabo- ration between employers and transit providers may include better facilities and reverse commute options, among others. A call for higher density housing within a half-mile of a station and corridor-wide station area plan- ning is included in the Cedar Avenue Corridor Transitway Implementation Plan Update. To help guide transit oriented development near stations, Apple Valley can complete station area plans. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-30Transportation Figure 10.

A detailed discussion of pedestrian and bicycle facilities, along with the long-range planning for these facilities in relation- ship to the community’s recreational assets, can be found in the Parks and Active Living chapter of the Apple Valley Comprehensive Plan. The expansion of commuter pedestrian and bi- cyclist use is expected into the future with the expansion of transit facilities and expected con- tinued increases in automobile use costs. Thus, pedestrian and bicyclist system improvements will need to focus on enhancing connections between neighborhoods and the primary roadway system and the commercial areas of the City. Bicycle and pedestrian accessibility to existing and planned transit corridors and transit facilities will be greatly enhanced within Apple Valley with the Cedar Avenue BRT Improvements. As pre- viously noted, BRT offers passengers the option to bring a bicycle along to complete their trip to a nearby destination. Furthermore, the Draft Dako- ta County Transit Plan notes that, “The condition of [bike and pedestrian trails] within a half-mile around a transit station or stop can have a high impact on the user friendliness and access to tran- sit services.” 2010 BikeWalk Apple Valley In 2010, the City of Apple Valley produced Bike- Walk Apple Valley, a trail and sidewalk plan de- signed to inform and improve alternative trans- portation and multimodal connectivity. BikeWalk Apple Valley assessed the existing gaps within the network and offered recommendations. The following priority areas were included as part of the BikeWalk Apple Valley Plan: Southwest Apple Valley, Downtown, and East Central Apple Valley. Regional Bicycle Transportation Net- work (RBTN) The RBTN was developed as an outcome to the Regional Bicycle System Study and serves as a framework of designated regional corridors and alignments and defines critical bicycle transporta- tion links to help municipalities guide their bikeway planning and development. The RBTN is subdi- vided into two tiers for regional planning and in- vestment prioritization: 1. Tier 1 – Priority Regional Bicycle Transpor- tation Corridors and Alignments. These cor- ridors and alignments have been determined to provide the best transportation connectivity to regional facilities and developed areas, and are given the highest priority for transportation funding. 2. Tier 2 - Regional Bicycle Transportation Net- work Corridors and Alignments. These corri- dors and alignments are the second highest priority for funding. They provide connec- tions to regional facilities in neighboring cities, and serve to connect priority regional bicycle transportation corridors and alignments. The Tier 1 Corridors and Alignments in Apple Val- ley primarily follow a north-south orientation. They include connections along Flagstaff Avenue and Johnny Cake Ridge Road, and also Cedar Avenue south of CSAH 42 (see Figure 11). The Tier 2 Corridors and Alignments intersect the city primarily east-west along CSAH 42 (150th Street W), and CSAH 38 (McAndrews Road) (see Figure 10).

However, the city is located south of the Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) International Airport, which is owned and operated by the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC). The city is located outside of the desig- nated Airport Influence Area for MSP. The MAC opened an 8,000-foot north-south runway (Run- way 17/35) on October 27, 2005 which distributes arriving and departing aircraft in airspace over Apple Valley. Apple Valley’s distance from MSP buffers it from being included in the MAC’s 2007 noise policy area as well as, the MAC’s most re- cent noise contour study completed in 2016. Airspace Protection According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and MnDOT Aeronautics safety standards, any applicant who proposes to construct a structure 200 feet above the ground level must get appropri- ate approval. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires the FAA Form 7460-1 “Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration”, under code of federal regulations CFR-Part 77, be filed for any proposed structure or alteration that exceeds 200 feet. FAA Form 7460-1 can be obtained from FAA headquarters and regional offices. These forms must be submitted 30 days before alteration/construction begins or the construc- tion permit is filed, whichever is earlier. MnDOT must also be notified (see MnDOT Rules Chapter 8800). The MSP airport/community zoning board’s land use safety zoning ordinance should also be considered when reviewing construction in the city that raises potential aviation conflicts. The City of Apple Valley zoning ordinance does not permit buildings to be constructed to a height of 200 feet or taller, nor do any buildings exceed that height now. City of Apple Valley Ordinance Section 155.385, Towers and Antennas Site Design and Mainte- nance, controls the development and construction of objects affecting navigable airspace including construction exceeding 200 feet. Currently the tallest structure in the City is a 150-foot communi- cations tower located on private property. Aviation Support Facilities – FAA Ra- dar Dome An FAA Long-Range Radar facility is located at 13591 Harwell Path, Apple Valley. The radar was constructed in 1958 before the surrounding resi- dential area was built up around it. There are no current land use conflicts between the radar facili- ty and the neighboring residential area. Special Purpose Facilities – Seaplane Lake Lake Alimagnet is designated in Minnesota State Rules Chapter 8800.2800 as authorized for pur- poses of safe seaplane use. Lake Alimagnet is ap- proximately 100 acres in size with adjacent land uses including parks around the west, south and southwest sides, and residential uses along the east side of the lake. Figure 13 shows the location of Lake Alimagnet. Figure 12 shows the location of the FAA Radar Dome and Lake Alimagnet.

Aeronautics CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-35Transportation Freight and Heavy Commercial Vehicles According to a recent report prepared by MnDOT entitled “Trucks and Twin Cities Traffic Manage- ment”, one of the top-ranking strategies to reduce congestion for trucks traveling within and through the Twin Cities is to provide design guidance to local governments for accommodating trucks on local roads. A copy of the 2005 technical report is available on the MnDOT web site at: http://www. dot.state.mn.us/ofrw/PDF/trucksTCTM2005_21. pdf. This strategy was adopted by MnDOT and includes ongoing guidance updates and training. The guidance is intended to help local govern- ments identify locations where land uses currently (or are likely to) generate heavy truck movements, present unique traffic control needs, and demon- strate concerns for local street pavement and geometric design to accommodate heavy truck di- mensions and weight. The guidance can be used to improve truck, motorist, and non-motorized ve- hicle safety and traffic flow. Typical examples include driveways or approach- es to loading zones for retail stores or industrial buildings where inadequate maneuvering and turning space causes safety conflicts between the rear tires of an off-track trailer and the access way it is intended to use. Pedestrians approaching a driveway intersection on a sidewalk may not sus- pect a truck’s approaching off-tracked rear tires. In addition, damages to public infrastructure can also result (broken curbs and landscaping destruction). Inadequate truck queuing can also be a problem, requiring temporary on-street parking. An assessment of industrial and commercial truck ingress/egress areas in Apple Valley should be performed for properties where such issues have been observed for reasons associated with safety, operational efficiencies, and infrastructure preser- vation. In addition, the MnDOT guidance will pro- vide support to the City of Apple Valley in conduct- ing site plan reviews for new developments and/or redevelopments. Figure 13 shows the existing freight network and the impact of Heavy Commercial Average Annual Daily Traffic (HCAAT) volumes on the Apple Valley roadway network. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-36Transportation Figure 13. Existing Freight and Heavy Commercial System CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-37Transportation Transportation Plan Recom- mendations This section summarizes the improvements iden- tified through this transportation planning process. With the implementation of these recommenda- tions the city’s transportation system will be able to effectively and safely accommodate anticipated growth and the needs of its residents, employers, and prospective developers. The specific timing of the recommendations will be defined based on available funding, continued coordination with the City’s partners (Dakota County, MnDOT, and neighboring communities), and through the devel- opment of future Capital Improvement Programs. Roadway Network Recommendations Several roadway improvements have been iden- tified. The recommendations are organized by those that have been programmed (funded) and those that should be implemented in the future as issues arise. Programmed Improvements (funded) • Construction of a roundabout at the intersec- tion of CSAH 33 (Diamond Path) and 140th Street with Dakota County. • Convert CSAH 38 (McAndrews Road) from two-lane roadway to a three-lane roadway with right turn lanes at major intersections from CSAH 31 (Pilot Knob Road) to TH 3 in Rosemount with Dakota County. • Convert Johnny Cake Ridge Road from four- lane roadway to a three-lane roadway with right turn lanes at major intersections from CSAH 38 (McAndrews Road) to 140th Street. • Traffic Signals Traffic Signal Reconstruction at CSAH 42 and Hayes Avenue Traffic Signal Reconstruction at CSAH 42 and Garden View Drive Traffic Signal Reconstruction at CSAH 42 and Pennock Avenue Traffic Signal Reconstruction at CSAH 42 and Elm Drive Traffic Signal Reconstruction at CSAH 42 and Southcross Drive Traffic Signal Reconstruction at CSAH 42 and Garrett Avenue Traffic Signal Construction at Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Upper 147th Street Traffic Signal Construction at Galaxie Avenue and 132nd Street Median/Access Modification at Elm Drive and Redwood Drive Planned Improvements (non-funded) • Extend Johnny Cake Ridge Road (from Coun- ty Road 42 to 157th Street). • Extend 153rd Street to the east to connect with 155th Street at Pilot Knob Road. • Roundabout at 153rd and Johnny Cake Ridge Road • Roundabouts at 148th and 149th and Johnny Cake Ridge Road • Dodd Boulevard – from 155th Street to County Road 33/Diamond Path. • CSAH 42 – from west city boundary to CSAH 31, consider capacity expansion. • CSAH 46 – from west city boundary to east city boundary, consider capacity expansion. These roadways should be monitored over time for significant congestion issues developing. Furthermore, in recognition of increasing opera- tional and safety issues associated with the lane drop on northbound Cedar Avenue at 138th Street, the City strongly encourages MnDOT to construct a third traffic lane north from 138th Street. The City has identified this as a priority issue to address in the near future. Safety Improvements The following City street intersections should be monitored over time to determine whether safety concerns increase and intersection improvements should be pursued: • 140th Street/Galaxie Avenue; • 147th Street/Galaxie Avenue; • 157th Street/Galaxie Avenue; • 153rd Street/Garrett Avenue; and • 147th Street/Foliage Avenue. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 8-38Transportation • Galaxie Avenue at Greenleaf School Pedestri- an Improvements (HAWK Signal) Specific recommendations at these intersections will be identified after a more rigorous investiga- tion of crash rates, types, and severity is conduct- ed at each location. Transit Service Recommendations The primary transit improvement recommenda- tions are listed below. • Construct a 3-mile extension of the METRO Red Line BRT system to include three new stations from Apple Valley to Lakeville. • Expand the existing facilities at the Palomi- no Hills Park-and-Ride and the Apple Valley Transit Station and Park-and-Ride. • Coordinate with the MVTA regarding future “crosstown” transit routes along County Road 42 and County Road 46 and expanded north- south transit service along County Road 31 (Pilot Knob Road). • In addition, the City should continue its pro- active planning efforts with respect to transit oriented development to support the Red Line BRT system. Pedestrian and Bicyclist Facility Rec- ommendations To attain a pedestrian and bicyclist system that best addresses the changing needs of the resi- dents, the City will need to continue pursuing op- portunities for system enhancements. Potential opportunities include: • Focusing on the pedestrian and bicycle needs during the development of roadway improve- ment projects; and • Ensuring future development and redevelop- ment in the City accommodates both the rec- reational aspects of pedestrian and bicycle use and the increasing commuter use to in- clude addressing the need for enhanced ame- nities such as bike racks, bike lockers, and bike lanes in and around shopping areas and transit stations. • Continue to connect “gaps” in sidewalk and trail networks • Construction of Trails along the following roadways South side of 140th Street from Gal- axie Avenue to Cedar Avenue South side of CSAH 38 (McAndrews Road) from Galaxie Avenue to Gar- denview • Work with Dakota County to continue to build the North Creek Greenway in accordance with the approved Master Plan . CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 9-1Water Resources 9. Water Resources The future prosperity of Apple Valley depends on wise water management. A sustainable quantity and quality of water re- sources is an essential part of the City’s quality of life, and is vital for growth and development to occur. The Water Resourc- es chapter provides a framework for managing three aspects of the municipal water system: • Surface Water Management • Sanitary Sewer • Water Supply The Surface Water Management Plan (Page 9-2) serves as a guide for managing the surface water system, including lakes, ponds, wetlands, and the City’s stormwater system, which conveys runoff from the landscape to receiving waters down- stream. The Sanitary Sewer section (Page 9-7) conforms with the Twin Cities regional 2040 Water Resources Policy Plan, en- suring that Apple Valley will have sufficient wastewater capac- ity to serve future growth, and that adequate wastewater infra- structure will be available in the locations that are planned for development. This section serves as an inventory of the City’s sanitary trunk facilities and a guide for completing the few re- maining trunk sewer sections. The Water Supply section (Page 9-20) guides the construction, operation, and maintenance of the municipal water system, so that Apple Valley will have a safe, clean supply of drinking water now and in the future. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 9-2Water Resources Surface Water Management SWMP Purpose and Scope The City’s 2018-2027 Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) is the third iteration of the City’s SWMP and replaces the previous SWMP adopted by the City in 2008. The purpose of the SWMP is to provide a framework and reference for protecting, preserving, and managing the City surface water resources and stormwater management system. The SWMP is a local water management plan prepared in accordance with Minnesota Statute 103B.235 and Minnesota Rules 8410. According to statute, the purposes of these water manage- ment programs are to: • Protect, preserve, and use natural surface and groundwater storage and retention systems; • Minimize public capital expenditures needed to correct flooding and water quality problems; • Identify and plan for means to effectively pro- tect and improve surface and groundwater quality; • Establish more uniform local policies and of- ficial controls for surface and groundwater management; • Prevent erosion of soil into surface water sys- tems; • Promote groundwater recharge; • Protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and water recreational facilities; and • Secure the other benefits associated with proper management of surface and ground water. The SWMP was developed consistent with the guidance from the Metropolitan Council, and WMOs with jurisdiction in the City, including the Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organi- zation (VRWJPO) and the Black Dog Watershed Management Organization (BDWMO). The City’s SWMP includes the following content: • Executive Summary summarizing the signifi- cant elements of the SWMP • Introduction describing the purpose and de- velopment of the SWMP • Land and Water Resources Inventory describ- ing the physical conditions in the City • Assessment of Issues and Opportunities • Stormwater System Analysis including water quality and hydrologic and hydraulic modeling • Goals and Policies • Implementation Program Existing System The SWMP includes an inventory of the surface water resources and stormwater management infrastructure located within the City. The City is subdivided into seven major drainage areas in- cluding three drainage areas within the jurisdiction of the BDWMO and four drainage areas within the jurisdiction of the VRWJPO. The City subdivided these drainage areas into subwatersheds for wa- ter resource management and planning purposes, including hydrologic, hydraulic, and water qual- ity modeling. The subwatershed divides shown in Figure 4.2 of the Surface Water Management Plan were determined by local topography and the layout of the City’s stormwater system. Major elements of the City’s stormwater system are also shown in Figure 4.1 of the Surface Water Manage- ment Plan, including: • Location and names of designated stormwa- ter ponds and lakes • Boundaries of major and minor watersheds • Stormwater trunk lines connecting the pond- ing areas • Forcemains with flow direction and pipe sizes • Stormwater structure locations • Locations where stormwater from the City’s storm drainage system is discharged to an adjacent community As part of SWMP development, the City updated hydrologic, hydraulic, and water quality modeling for the majority of the drainage areas in the City. Additional information is included in Section 4 of the SWMP.

Comprehensive Plan Update 9-5Water Resources Issues and Opportunities Section 3 of the SWMP summarizes City-wide and specific water resource issues. The issues dis- cussed in Section 3 of the SWMP are organized into the following topic areas: • Water quality (including stormwater runoff water quality, MPCA impaired waters, total maximum daily load studies, waterbody clas- sification and water quality goals, water qual- ity BMP maintenance, and other water quality issues) – Much of the City’s storm drainage planning efforts were made during a time when flood protection was a top priority and the impacts of stormwater runoff on water quality were not fully recognized. Much of the existing water quality degradation is direct- ly related to a largely irreversible stormwater system configuration that routes runoff from urbanized areas through the City’s natural wa- ter resources. Some of the most challenging issues facing the City include the manage- ment of stormwater quality and the water qual- ity of downstream water resources. • Water quantity and flood risk reduction (including floodplain management, hydrolog- ic and hydraulic modeling, and discussion of select local flooding issues) – Many of the most significant historical flooding issues have been addressed by the City. However, devel- opment, redevelopment, and changing precip- itation patterns place increasing stress on ag- ing stormwater infrastructure. The hydrologic and hydraulic modeling included in the SWMP identified areas where the City will focus its flood risk reduction efforts. • Wetland management (including wetland and shoreland buffers, aquatic invasive spe- cies, and wetland classification and inventory) – Diverse wetland systems are critical com- ponents of a healthy hydrologic system. Tools to inventory, assess, and regulate wetlands are needed to minimize the negative effects of land development and other human activities in wetlands. • Groundwater management – Consumptive use of groundwater places increased pres- sure on the bedrock aquifers that the City re- lies upon for drinking water. In addition, devel- opment results in larger impervious areas and more compacted soils, decreasing opportuni- ties for infiltration and recharge. • Erosion and sediment control – Increased sedimentation resulting from urban develop- ment may negatively impact water quality, fish and wildlife habitat, and aesthetics. Sed- iment deposition can also wholly or partially block culverts, manholes, and other stormwa- ter facilities, increasing flood risk and requir- ing more frequent maintenance of the City’s stormwater system. The issues listed above are described in greater detail in Section 3 of the SWMP. Section 3 of the SWMP also describes opportunities for the City to address these issues. These opportunities, gener- ally, include: • Cooperation with watershed management or- ganizations (and/or state agencies) • Partnerships with neighboring cities • Coordination of stormwater management im- provements with redevelopment • Implementation of low impact development (LID) practices • Coordination of stormwater management im- provements with other City programs (e.g., pavement management, park improvements) Goals and Policies The City developed a number of goals and policies to proactively manage stormwater and surface water resources within the City. The goals and pol- icies are designed to continue to improve the qual- ity and effectiveness of water resource planning and management in the City. These goals and pol- icies have been developed to complement county, regional, and state goals, policies and manage- ment activities while minimizing redundancy. The City established the following goals related to stormwater and surface water management: 1. Manage the risk of flooding to minimize ad- verse effects to life, property, and infrastruc- ture. 2. Manage surface water resources to promote healthy ecosystems, preserve water quality, and meet applicable water quality standards. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 9-6Water Resources 3. Manage stormwater runoff to reduce negative impacts to water resources and infrastructure. 4. Protect, restore, and enhance wetlands and natural areas. 5. Protect the quality and quantity of groundwa- ter. 6. Protect water and natural resources through responsible management of development and redevelopment activities. 7. Promote stewardship of water and environ- mental resources through education, public involvement, and Cooperation. The policies intended to support these goals are included in their entirety in Section 5 of the SWMP. Implementation Program The purpose of the SWMP is to provide a frame- work and reference for protecting, preserving, and managing the City surface water resources and stormwater management system. An effective im- plementation program is critical to ensure that the direction provided in the SWMP yields results. The following sections summarize key elements of the City’s surface water and stormwater imple- mentation program (described in greater detail in Section 6 of the SWMP), including: • NPDES and TMDL requirements • Stormwater system operation and mainte- nance • Education and public involvement • Ordinances and official controls • Lake management program • Projects and capital improvements NPDES and TMDL Requirements Under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Storm Water National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Rules, the City of Apple Valley is required to maintain a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit for managing point source storm water. In Minnesota, this permit is administered by the Minnesota Pol- lution Control Agency (MPCA) and has a duration of five years. The City last renewed its MS4 per- mit in 2013. As part of the permit, the City must also prepare and maintain a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) addressing all re- quirements of the permit. The SWPPP outlines the appropriate best man- agement practices (BMPs) for the City to imple- ment for controlling or reducing the pollutants in stormwater runoff to the maximum extent practi- cable. These BMPs are a combination of educa- tion, operation and maintenance, control tech- niques, system design and engineering methods, and other such provisions appropriate to meet the requirements of the NDPES permit. The SWPPP includes BMPs that address each of the six min- imum control measures as outlined in the rules: 1. Public education and outreach 2. Public participation/involvement 3. Illicit discharge detection and elimination 4. Construction site stormwater runoff control 5. Post-construction stormwater management 6. Pollution prevention/good housekeeping As required by the SWPPP, each year the City must hold a public opportunity to provide input on the adequacy of the MS4 program and the City’s SWPPP. The City must also prepare an annual re- port summarizing the following: • Compliance with permit conditions, includ- ing an assessment of the appropriateness of identified management practices and prog- ress towards achieving identified measurable goals for the six minimum control measures. • Changes in identified management practic- es or measurable goals for any of the control measures. The City’s SWPPP also includes BMPs to address waterbodies included on the MPCA’s impaired waters 303(d) list for which a total maximum daily load (TMDL) study has been completed. Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act requires states to adopt water quality standards and identify waters CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 9-7Water Resources that do not meet these standards. In Minneso- ta, these responsibilities are administered by the MPCA. Waters that fail to meet state water quality standards are included on the MPCA’s impaired waters 303(d) list. The MPCA prepares TMDL studies to address impaired waters. A TMDL is an assessment of the amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and still meet water quality standards. TMDL studies may result in implemen- tation plans to address water quality issues of the affected waterbodies. The draft 2018 impaired waters list includes four lakes in Apple Valley: • Alimagnet Lake • Farquar Lake • Keller Lake • Long Lake • East Lake (in City of Lakeville, but roughly one-third of our drainage area) TMDL studies have been completed for all of the impaired lakes listed above. Typically, the City will take the lead to complete and implement TMDLs for waters impaired due to excess nutrients where the watersheds are located wholly within the city. For impaired waters located in the city with inter- community watersheds, the City may request the appropriate watershed management authority lead or co-facilitate the completion and implemen- tation of the TMDL study. For TMDL studies that have regional implications the City will cooperate with lead agencies as appropriate. Stormwater System Operation and Mainte- nance The City of Apple Valley is responsible for main- taining its stormwater system. Proper mainte- nance will ensure that the stormwater system con- tinues to function as designed and provides the intended benefits. The City’s operation and main- tenance program is closely tied with the City’s im- plementation of its NPDES MS4 permit and many of the City’s maintenance activities are included in the City’s SWPPP. The City’s stormwater system includes not only pipes and constructed ponds, but also lakes, wetlands, and other drainage ways. In addition to more typical maintenance measures, mainte- nance of the stormwater system may also mean maintaining or restoring the ecological character- istics of the natural portions of the stormwater sys- tem. The City regularly inspects and maintains key components of the system, including storm sew- er and culvert inlets, overflow drainage swales, stormwater ponding and water quality treatment basins, and riprap-protected banks, and storm sewer and culvert outlets. The City of Apple Valley periodically inspects stormwater storage basins and water quality treatment facilities to identify ex- cessive sediment build-up, collected debris, and undesirable vegetation. The City will use inspec- tion data and available modeling results to priori- tize pond maintenance needs. Education and Public Involvement Education and public involvement serve an im- portant role in enabling the City of Apple Valley to implement its water resource management pro- grams. The City’s education and public involve- ment program is closely tied to implementation of its NPDES MS4 permit; several of the City’s edu- cation measures are included in the City’s SWPPP Generally, the goal of the City’s education program is to promote stewardship of water and natural re- sources through education, public involvement, and cooperation. To achieve this goal, the City performs various education and communication activities. These activities are tailored to a range of target audiences. The following target audiences for the education program are: City Staff. City staff must have adequate under- standing of water resource issues and the City’s SWMP content to effectively carry out the City’s stormwater and surface water management re- sponsibilities. It is essential for the success of the program that City staff set a good example to the community’s residents, businesses, and custom- ers by demonstrating behaviors that promote wa- tershed stewardship. City Residents. People who live and do business within the city are affected by the City’s water re- source management programs. Much of the City is privately owned and maintained. It is import- ant to educate and involve residents and business CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 9-8Water Resources owners to maintain the political and economic support necessary to implement the SWMP. Com- municating the City’s roles and responsibilities with respect to these issues is important to man- age residents’ expectations, discourage behaviors with negative consequences, and develop com- munity capacity for practices that positively impact water resources. The Development Community. Development and redevelopment activities may have a sub- stantial impact on runoff quality and downstream water bodies during and after construction. Com- municating City requirements for land-disturbing activities to developers and their consulting engi- neers is an important component of the education program. Ordinances and Official Controls The City of Apple Valley regulates the manage- ment of stormwater and protects water resourc- es through the policies included in its SWMP, City ordinances, the City’s project review and permit- ting program, and other applicable regulatory pro- grams. These are collectively referred to as “offi- cial controls.” The City’s SWMP and ordinances include require- ments for development and redevelopment activi- ties that address the following: • Stormwater runoff water quality • Stormwater runoff rate and volume control • Erosion and sediment control • Minimum building elevations (relative to adja- cent waterbodies) • Wetland impacts and vegetated buffers The City requires various permits and/or approv- als for land-disturbing projects (including devel- opments), depending on the type of project. The City reviews each proposed activity for consisten- cy with its official controls prior to issuing permits and/or approvals. Consistent with the intent of its official controls, the City encourages infiltration as a preferred method of water quality treatment and volume control, where feasible, either in on-site features or in regional features. These measures will enhance groundwater recharge, decrease the burden on the storm drainage system, and min- imize the pollutant loads reaching high priority downstream waterbodies. The City also encourag- es the use of low impact design (LID) techniques to minimize negative effects of development and redevelopment on stormwater infrastructure and natural resources. The City of Apple Valley acts as the Local Gov- ernmental Unit (LGU) responsible for administer- ing the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA). This includes requiring and verifying that all projects impacting wetlands meet the requirements of the Minnesota WCA and applicable City wetland man- agement guidance. Standards for protection and enhancement of wetland resources included in the SWMP are pri- oritized according to their wetland classification, which is based on an assessment of functions and values. Because all wetlands provide some functional val- ues, all are protected to some degree under provi- sions in the SWMP. Regulation of activities that may impact individual wetlands will be based on evaluations of proposed activities, site-specific wetland boundary delinea- tions, and wetland management classifications. Priority Lake Management The 2018 SWMP identifies six priority lakes. The City identified priority lakes considering intended recreational uses, existing MPCA impairments, applicability of MPCA water quality standards, and coordination with other city and/or WMO classifi- cation systems. City of Apple Valley priority water- bodies include • Alimagnet Lake CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 9-9Water Resources • Cobblestone Lake • Farquar Lake • Keller Lake • Lac Lavon • Long Lake The City adopted water quality goals for each lake consistent with state and WMO standards. The SWMP implementation program includes actions to maintain or improve water quality in priority lakes. The City recognizes lakes as complex systems whose responses to numerous natural and other variables are difficult to predict. Therefore, the City uses an adaptive management approach. The City may modify its planned future actions as nec- essary based on the results of prior actions, new data, or other factors. Projects and Capital Improvements The City performs projects and capital improve- ments to achieve the water resource manage- ment goals outlined in its SWMP. These include non-structural projects (e.g., developing a water quality model, performing feasibility studies) as well as structural improvements (e.g., construct- ing an infiltration basin). These activities are sum- marized in implementation tables included in the SWMP. The City generally performs projects and/or capi- tal improvement projects to maintain the function of its stormwater system, reduce flood risk, and/ or improve water quality. In some cases, a tech- nical assessment (or feasibility study) has already been completed to address a known problem and a preferred option is already identified. Other sit- uations may require conducting a feasibility as- sessment to evaluate options to address a known problem and select a preferred alternative. Finally, a broader pro-active assessment and prioritization of problem areas (e.g., city-wide modeling) may be called for to determine the extent of the issue and assess solutions. In this case, projects may then be prioritized depending on their degree of risk or severity. With respect to water quality, the City will imple- ment those projects necessary to address TMDLs developed for impaired waters and achieve water quality goals for priority lakes, where most feasi- ble and to the maximum extent practicable. This will include improvements that have already been identified through completed TMDL studies, City lake management plans, or other planning efforts. Additionally, the City will develop lake manage- ment plans and implementation programs for re- maining priority lakes The City will continue to rely on its 5-year Capital Improvement Planning process to schedule and plan for funding of capital improvements. This CIP is updated annually by City staff and reviewed and approved annually by the City Council. The City carries out its implementation program with the intent to achieve the City’s goals while promoting efficiency and minimizing cost. There- fore, the City will seek opportunities to coordinate stormwater system repair and/or replacement with its Pavement Management Program, redevelop- ment opportunities, or other coordinated projects (e.g., park improvements, other utility upgrades). The City may also re-prioritize projects based on the availability of grant funding, cost-share oppor- tunities, or availability of other funding sources that may reduce the City’s financial responsibility. Sanitary Sewer The Metropolitan Council of Environmental Ser- vices (MCES) requires that the City submit a Sanitary Sewer Plan as part of the 2040 compre- hensive plan update. The comprehensive plan is updated every ten years. The wastewater plan is reviewed to ensure conformance with the 2040 Water Resources Policy Plan and Thrive MSP 2040 to ensure that the Metropolitan Council’s re- gional wastewater system has adequate capaci- ty to serve the future needs of the region in the right locations at the right times. Conformance for wastewater means that, within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area, communities are meeting the overall density expectations identified in Thrive MSP 2040. Apple Valley has prepared this section of the Com- prehensive Plan to demonstrate its conformance to the regional plan. This section of the Utilities chapter summarizes Apple Valley’s Comprehen- sive Sanitary Sewer Plan (see Appendix) that pro- vides the specific information needed to meet the 2040 requirements. The Comprehensive Sanitary CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 9-10Water Resources Sewer Plan serves as an inventory of the City’s sanitary trunk facilities and a guide for completing the few remaining trunk sections. Existing Sanitary Sewer System General A review of the City’s existing sanitary sewer col- lection system will provide insight into its ability to convey domestic, commercial and industrial wastewater to the wastewater treatment facility. The existing trunk sewer system is mostly com- plete with the exception of approximately 500 acres within the southeastern part of the City. This area will be developed as the current sand and gravel mining operations cease. The existing collection system was evaluated for its ability to serve this area as well as remaining undeveloped parcels. Trunk Sewer System, MCES Interceptors and Intercommunity Connections The City’s trunk sanitary sewer system is shown on Figure 9.1. The trunk system consists of gravity lines ten inches in diameter and greater, lift sta- tions and forcemains. The City is divided into five sewer districts, each defining the limits of service for a separate trunk system. The Southwest, South Central and Southeast Dis- tricts are the largest districts and flow leaves Apple Valley to the south through MCES interceptor lines into Lakeville. The remaining two Districts are the Burnsville and Eagan Outlets (2 in each district) which all flow to the north into Burnsville and Ea- gan respectively. There are no trunk sewers in the Eagan Outlet. This area is only served by sewer laterals and encompass a regional park, zoo, and small residential area. Wastewater flow leaves Apple Valley at seven different locations at or near the City borders. A list of these locations and their average flows is presented in Table 9.1 These flows all lead from Apple Valley through other municipalities to either the Empire or Seneca WWTPs. There are approximately 11,181 acres in the City of Apple Valley, of which approximately 487 acres remain to be developed. Of the overall total, 9,400 acres are served by the MCES Empire wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) located near Pilot Knob Road, 197th Street East and the Vermillion River, in Section 21 of Empire Township. Conveyance to the Empire WWTP is provided by the MCES In- terceptor mains beginning at meters M643, M648, and M644. Wastewater from approximately 1,800 acres in the northern portion of Apple Valley is served by the MCES Seneca WWTP located near Comanche Road and State Highway 13 in Section 21 in Ea- gan. Conveyance to the Seneca plant is provided by the MCES Interceptor main from meter M644A and trunk sewers in the City of Eagan and Burns- ville.

The lift sta- tions have been sized to handle buildout of their respective service areas. Table 9.2 summarizes the capacity information for each of the lift sta- tions. The locations of the lift stations are shown on Figure 9.1.

At this time, no industries in the City require pretreatment of their wastewa- ter before discharge into the City’s system. Existing Wastewater Flows The total flows are measured by MCES at 4 me- ter locations leaving the City. Annual, monthly, and hourly flow data is available for the MCES meters. Peak month and peak hourly flow data help deter- mine infiltration and inflow contributions. The 10-year average annual per capita wastewa- ter flow is approximately 66 gallons per day (GPD) and the average dry weather (winter) per capita wastewater flow is approximately 66 GPD. Water use data is available by customer type and can be used to estimate the breakdown of wastewater flow between residential and other land uses. Wa- ter use data indicates that winter residential wa- ter use averaged 85% of the total water use over the last 10 years; thus the residential portion of the average per capita wastewater flow is approx- imately 56 GPD (85% of 66). When comparing 10-year average dry weather flows to the same winter quarter water usage, the wastewater flow is approximately 97% of the water use. The metered dry weather wastewater flow correlates quite well with the metered water use for the same time pe- riod, which indicates some validity to the existing flow data. Population and Employment Forecasts The comprehensive wastewater plan is developed in part to portray the condition of the Apple Valley wastewater collection system under future flow conditions assuming that the population and em- ployment forecasts are achieved. The purpose in developing the future plan is to anticipate future changes to the system that may be required and to allow for the development of a sustainable cap- ital improvements program for the wastewater col- lection system. The Thrive MSP 2040 population, household and employment forecasts (Table 9.3) in 10 year increments through 2040 were used in generating wastewater flow projections and in maintaining the required consistency with all parts of the comprehensive planning effort.

Flow rates will be es- tablished for each land use category based upon the anticipated density in units and persons per acre which can be applied to specific undeveloped parcels or redevelopment areas. These unit flow rates can be used to generate average annual flow projections for these specific development areas. To forecast future flow from existing areas his- torical flow data, industry standards and current MCES data were used. MCES has indicated that regional data suggests the current overall aver- age annual flow is 85 gallons per capita per day (gpcd). This is lower than the traditional default for sewer design of 100 gpcd. Furthermore, MCES has prepared future average flow projections for their system based upon 60 gpcd and 15 gallons per day (gpd) per employee. These figures are for new development and an- ticipate the gradual reduction of wastewater flow from existing development as a result of water conservation practices and the reduction of inflow and infiltration. It is important to note that these flow rates will vary as systems expand and age, so it is prudent to use traditional design values when looking at the design of new lateral sewer or trunk systems. Land Use The 2040 Land Use Plan served as the basis for the development of the sanitary sewer flow pro- jections and analysis of the trunk system. Unde- veloped land area within the City was determined to be approximately 500 acres. These areas were further defined by type of land use. Land use flow factors were used to allocate projected flows with- in the sewer model and are presented in Table 9.7.

The design peak flow rate can be expressed as a vari- able ratio to the average flow rate. Curves used to describe this ratio, called the Peak Flow Factor (PFF), indicate a decreasing ratio of peak flow to average flow with increasing average flow. Peak Flow Factor (PFF) curves have been devel- oped to depict this ratio and MCES has analyzed the extensive flow data within their system to cor- relate actual peaking factors with the formulated curves. A summary of the design peak flow factors (Figure 9.2 below) based upon current MCES data will be utilized for estimating future peak flows from development areas.

Since the current actual average is approximately 85 gallons per capita per day MCES has adjusted the peak flow factors upward (divided by 0.85) for de- termining I/I mitigation. This adjustment essential- ly reflects the available capacity for any addition- al infiltration and inflow in the system. These are then used to set the peak flow metershed goals for each community. Figure 9.3 below summarizes the peaking factors for MCES metershed goals.

The 10-year annual average per capita flow rate from Apple Valley is approximately 66 gallons per day (gpd), which is slightly lower than the current over- all MCES system average of 85 gpd. This may be an indication of the general trend in water conser- vation similar to what the City has seen with the water system. It could also be an indication that the overall average I/I in Apple Valley’s system is slightly below the metro area system average. While it is expected that water conservation within existing households will continue to improve. The existing sanitary sewer system will continue to age thus for planning purposes the City will use an overall per capita average of 100 gpd for future flow projections. This is a slightly more conserva- tive value than historical data, but it is close to the current metershed goals set by MCES for the City as summarized below in Table 9.8. It is prudent to plan conservatively for long-lived infrastructure needs such as sewer systems.

Annual average wastewater flow projections through 2040 are summarized below in Table 9.9. These estimates are based upon an overall system average of 85 gallons per capita per day (gpcd), and assumes that there will be no unsew- ered properties remaining in the future. The pro- jections for Metersheds M643, M644A, and M644 remain relatively the same as existing since that area is already fully developed and not anticipated to have any changes due to redevelopment. The undeveloped area in the southeastern area of the City is served by Metershed M648.

To setup the hydraulic model, information was col- lected from an extensive database of GIS (Geo- graphic Information System), field data collection and staff knowledge about the lift stations, trunk sewer mains and forcemains. Wastewater flow in- formation was collected from flow monitoring data along with individual water meter data from the customer database to allocate wastewater flows throughout the community. Future sewer flows were determined from information provided by the Land Use Plan in which demands were de- termined by land use categories for undeveloped areas. System Design Recommendations The hydraulic model analysis was performed to determine the available capacity within the exist- ing system. After determination of available capac- ity, a layout of remaining future gravity sewers was incorporated into the hydraulic model. The poten- tial system was sized based on established sewer design criteria including minimum slopes and min- imum velocity. GIS information was utilized to de- termine ground elevations and preliminary slopes for the extension of sewers considering depth re- quirements and connections to existing sewers. Trunk sewer was laid out in the undeveloped grav- el mining area and flows were allocated based on proposed land use. Capacity analysis was completed for the trunk sewer system to determine the remaining avail- able capacity within the existing system. A map showing available capacity is shown in Figure 9.4. Analysis using the hydraulic model showed that no areas within the existing system experience surcharging. Surcharging is defined as overload- ing of the sewer beyond its design capacity. Al- though no areas surcharge, a few areas of the trunk sewer are within the 10% to 40% range of remaining capacity and should be reviewed with the model if and when re-development would oc- cur in the future. Available capacity was labeled at key locations with large undeveloped areas. Future analysis including the addition of 500 acres of undevel- oped land showed adequate capacity to handle the planned land use for these areas. It is recom- mended to use the updated hydraulic model to re- view future development of these areas as actual development information becomes available. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 9-17Water Resources Figure 9.4 Sanitary Sewer Trunk System Remaining Capacity CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 9-18Water Resources Infiltration and Inflow General The Metropolitan Council appointed a task force that met in 2003/2004 to address the impacts of excess inflow and infiltration (I/I) on the region- al system. I/I describes clear water that enters wastewater collection systems and consumes ca- pacity of the conveyance and treatment systems. Inflow is typically stormwater that increases peak flow in the wastewater system during and after rainfall events from point sources such as broken manhole covers, sewer cleanouts, sump pumps, foundation drains, and rain leaders. Infiltration is typically groundwater that gradually enters the wastewater system through cracks and openings in sewer mains, service laterals, joints, and de- teriorated manholes. It was determined that the cost for source removal of I/I was much more cost effective than the cost to store, convey and treat excess I/I. Therefore, the current program focuses on source removal within the communities and re- gional system. In 2009/2010 the Metropolitan Council Demand Charge Task Force reviewed goals of the current program including a possible demand charge. The recommendation was to implement an on-going program similar to the existing I/I program. How- ever, instead of a mandatory demand charge, dis- cretion was left with MCES to institute a demand charge if a community is not working towards meeting its I/I Goal. Included within the MCES 2040 Water Resources Policy, adopted in May of 2015 and more recently amended, is the establishment of I/I goals for all communities discharging wastewater to the re- gional system. Communities with excessive I/I will still be required to eliminate it within a reasonable time period. The Council has established I/I goals for each metershed. The City of Apple Valley was not on MCES’s excessive I/I list and receives an- nual I/I goals for each metershed. The I/I Goal is the maximum allowable discharge to the regional wastewater system expressed as a peak hourly flow rate measured in million gallons per day (mgd). The I/I Goal is equal to the adjusted average dry weather flow (ADF) multiplied by the respective peak hourly factor. The ADF is based upon a 10 year rolling average of meter flow data and is adjusted upward by population growth for future forecasting. As part of the ongoing I/I efforts a procedure manual is updated by the Metropoli- tan Council for the subsequent program year. The City’s Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan (See Appendix) addresses the MCES specific require- ments. Existing I/I Average dry weather flows can be compared to annual average and peak month flows to deter- mine the amount of I/I entering the system. To understand if groundwater plays a role during dry weather periods, the average dry weather flows can be compared to the water use for that same period. These flows should closely correlate since no wet weather rainfall events or lawn sprinkling occurs in the winter/early spring time. For Apple Valley, the dry weather flow averages about 97% of the water use for the same period indicating that there is no base infiltration in the winter/early spring time. Table 9.11 summarizes average an- nual, average dry weather and peak month flows for the last 10-years. It also compares the various flows to help quantify the amount of I/I entering the system on an average basis.

The average peak month (PM) to annual average ratio is 1.31, which not overly excessive when looking at typical peaking factors. This equates to an average I/I contribution of approximately 1.05 mgd during wet weather periods. By looking at flows over the course of a year it is possible to quantify I/I on an average basis. How- ever, it is much more difficult to determine peak instantaneous or peak hour events that are mostly associated with inflow. A one (1) inch rainfall event could have a large impact on the system or min- imal impact depending upon the duration and in- tensity as well as other factors for each particular event. Typically no two events are the same, and at best patterns can be determined for general rainfall amounts. To pinpoint peak hour events it requires a significant amount of flow monitoring at several locations in a large system. There has been only limited data collected during previous mitigation efforts which makes it is difficult to ac- curately quantify for the entire system. On-going Mitigation Plan The City has a proactive program directed at iden- tifying and correcting I/I, including the following: • Stringent testing of all new sanitary sewer lines • Televising of clay pipes as well as areas where problems have been identified • Reconstruction projects, including replacing clay pipe with PVC, replacing manhole struc- tures, installing gator wrap around chimney section • Lining manholes, approximately 1 to 3 annu- ally • Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP) Lining spot repairs • Lining entire sections of sanitary sewer lines with reconstruct projects and areas as iden- tified • Manhole inspection as part of sewer cleaning operations, which are performed daily March through November, weather permitting. Ap- proximately one third of the system is cleaned (and manholes inspected) annually. Manholes are also inspected as part of the televising program. Manholes are repaired as needed. Internal chimney seals are installed on man- holes with plastic rings where I/I has been identified. • Additional manhole inspections (Example Lift Station 4 Project - proposed project lining of structures because of length of time before re- construct of area) CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 9-20Water Resources • Manhole repair, including chemical injection and coatings • Sewer flow meters in 2018 and 2019 budget – plan is to compare sewer flow data with Ad- vanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI) meter data in select areas • Sump pump inspection program – to be con- ducted with the meter replacement project • Employee education – NPDES annual training • Resident education – website, newsletters • Field observation – wet weather manhole in- spections & additional observations, such as when conducting a GSOC locate adjacent pri- vate parking lot street, crew found a sanitary manhole with a storm grate cover on it. Crew replaced the manhole grate cover with a solid cover and the business was notified. • City Code that promotes reduced I/I – The current code prohibits owners, occupants or users of any premises to direct into or allow any storm water, surface water, water from air conditioner systems, oil or other material to drain into the sanitary sewer system Individual Sewage Treatment Systems The City of Apple Valley currently has an ordi- nance regulating the installation of on-site waste- water disposal systems. Under this ordinance, the design of the system is reviewed and permitted in accordance with the guidelines of Minnesota Pol- lution Control Agency Standards MN Rule 7080, 7081, 7082 and its amendments. A copy of the City’s ordinance is provided in the Comprehensive Sewer Plan. The locations of present on-site systems are shown on Figure 9.5. At the present time, no sig- nificant problems are known to exist for the exist- ing on-site systems. Capital Improvement Program The City of Apple Valley is committed to provid- ing a sanitary sewer system that meets the City’s current and future needs and agrees with MCES goals and projections. Most of the City’s trunk system has been constructed. The trunk system will be expanded in the few remaining areas as development proceeds. Based on the computer modeling analysis, the addition of 500 acres of un- developed land shows adequate capacity in the current system to handle the planned land use for these areas. The hydraulic model will be updated on an on-going bass to review future development of these areas as actual development information becomes available. Future Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) projects will explore and identify ways to improve the san- itary sewer system, such as during reconstruction projects for sanitary sewer mains, lift stations and forcemains. In addition, the City will continue its current operation, maintenance and I/I reduction efforts as identified previously. Preventative maintenance is extremely important in the life of a sanitary sewer system. Preventative maintenance includes but not limited to monthly and annual inspections, SCADA monitoring, elec- trical inspections. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 9-21Water Resources Figure 9.5 Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 9-22Water Resources Water Utility The City of Apple Valley is committed to deliver- ing safe, clean drinking water to the community in a water system that will meet the needed de- mand and supply water for fire suppression. The City routinely updates its water supply plan, wa- ter rates and capital improvement plan to ensure that the plans are current, relevant and effective to meet the City’s needs into the future. The plans serve as guides for construction, operation and maintenance of the municipal water system. Apple Valley completed a Water Supply and Dis- tribution Plan in October 2002 and a DNR Water Emergency and Conservation Plan in October 2006 (Amended in March 2008), which were re- viewed in conjunction with the 2030 Comprehen- sive Plan. Metropolitan Council requires that the City submit a Water Supply Plan as part of the 2040 compre- hensive plan update. In addition, all public water suppliers in Minnesota that operate a public water distribution system, serve more than 1,000 people and/or all cities in the seven-county metropolitan area, must have a water supply plan approved by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). To obtain more detail about Apple Valley’s existing and future water supply, see the 2018 Minnesota DNR Water Supply Plan, which is included as an Appendix to this Comprehensive Plan. Water Use Historical Water Use Growth has not occurred as rapidly as projected in previous plans such as the Water Emergency and Conservation Plan (2006) or the City’s Com- prehensive Plan (2009). Previous plans projected the 2016 population served to be 66,641 people while the actual reported 2016 population served was approximately 50,350 people. However, fu- ture growth and increased population and result- ing water demand is anticipated, as addressed in a following section. Figure 9.W1 Historical Water Demand 1996 through 2016 0.00 5.00 10.00 15.00 20.00 25.00 30.00 35.00 40.00 45.00 50.00 0.0 5.0 10.0 15.0 20.0 25.0 30.0 35.0 40.0 45.0 50.0 PROJECTED WATER DEMAND (MGD)YEAR HISTORICAL WATER DEMAND PROJECTIONS Maximum Day Demand Average Day Demand Annual Precipitation (in) - MSP Airport GageWater Conservation Program InitiatedWater use in Apple Valley from 1996 to 2016 is de- scribed in Figure 9.W1. More detailed information is provided in the current and previous DNR Water Supply Plans. Some key water demand factors to note include: Average Daily Demand: The average daily de- mand (total annual demand divided by 365) has begun to exhibit a downward trend over the last decade. The past 5-year average is 5.9 MGD, which is a decrease from the 5-year average of 6.6 MGD reported in the 2006 DNR Water Supply Plan. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 9-23Water Resources Maximum Daily Demand: Maximum daily de- mand over the past decade does not appear to be exhibiting an upward or downward trend. Maximum day demand generally occurs during a summer month when precipitation is at its lowest amount and irrigation is at its highest amount. An- nual precipitation data from the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport can be an indicator, but does not al- ways correlate to maximum day demand. Peaking Factor: The water demand peaking fac- tor is the ratio of the average maximum day to the average day. The DNR has set a goal of reducing the average 10-year peaking factor to less than 2.6. Apple Valley achieved this goal with a 10-year average peaking factor of 2.5 for 2007-2016. This was an improvement over the previous peaking factor from 1996 – 2006, which was 2.8. Residential Per Capita Water: The DNR has set a goal of reducing the residential per capita water demand to less than 75 gallons per capita per day (gpcd). The City’s recent 5-year average equaled this goal of 75 gpcd, which was an improvement over the previous 5-year average of 91 gpcd re- ported in the 2006 plan. Total Per Capita Water Demand: Total per capita water demand for Apple Valley has begun to ex- hibit a downward trend since the adoption of the City’s 2006 Water Conservation Plan. Over the last decade, the average total per capita water de- mand is 122.6 gpcd, which is a decline from the average of 135.8 gpcd reported in the 2006 plan. Unaccounted (Non-revenue) Loss: Unaccount- ed for water use is the volume of water withdrawn from all source water minus the volume of water delivered. The value represents water “lost” by miscalculated water use due to inaccurate meters, water lost through leaks or water that is used but unmetered or otherwise undocumented. The DNR has set a goal of reducing unaccounted for wa- ter to less than 10%. Apple Valley’s exceeds this goal with a recent 5-year average unaccounted for water of 9.3%.

The Metropolitan Council provided the projected populations for the years 2020, 2030 and 2040. The population projections for all other years were extrapolated. The difference between the total population and population served is based on estimates provid- ed in the Metropolitan Council “Thrive MSP 2040” forecast. Over the last decade, the total per capita water de- mand has exhibited an average annual reduction of 2.5%. The projected total per capita demand in 2017 is based on the average total per capita demand over the last ten years. This is equal to 122.6 gpcd. The City considered reducing the total per capita demand estimate in the projections, but decided to keep it steady at the 10 year average rate of 122.6 gpcd due to the uncertainty of the water usage requirements of future residential, commercial and industrial land use development. The projected average day demand is equal to the total per capita per day multiplied by the projected population. This is then divided by one million to get the average day demand in MGD. The maximum day demand is based on the aver- age annual peaking factor over the last ten years, which is 2.5. For each year the average day de- mand is multiplied by the peaking factor to obtain the maximum day demand in MGD. Table 9.W2.

Each component and its adequacy for the future based on the 2040 popu- lation projections and land use map is described in more detail in the following sections. Groundwater Wells The City’s twenty wells ranging from 487 to 1127 feet deep draw drinking water from the Jordan, Prairie Du Chien - Jordan and Mt. Simon ground- water aquifers (See Table 9.W4 and Figure 9.W4). Five of these wells in the Jordan and Mt. Simon aquifers are available only for emergency use.

The firm capacity of the system, which assumes the largest well out of service, is 22,350 gpm (32 MGD). The firm capacity without emergency wells is 18,150 gpm (26 MGD). To meet the needs of the system, firm capacity should equal or exceed the maximum day demand in accordance with AWWA (American Water Works Association) recommen- dations. The current wells will meet the 2040 pro- jected maximum demand of 19.1 MGD. The locations for future Wells No. 21, 22, 23 and 24 were selected at the time of the last compre- hensive plan in 2006 when greater increase in population and water demand were expected. As indicated above, these wells are not expected to be needed by 2040. However, they will remain in the City’s plan and continue to be evaluated. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 9-27Water Resources Emergency Interconnections Five Interconnections with adjacent distribution systems have been established (See Table 9.W5) and can be used for emergency and auxiliary wa- ter supply. Table 9.W5 Emergency Interconnections Other Water Supply System Owner Capacity (GPM & MGD) BURNSVILLE – COUNTY RD 11 174 TO 347 GPM, 0.25 TO 0.5 MGD (8-INCH) ROSEMOUNT – EVER- MOOR PARKWAY 347 GPM, 0.5 MGD TO 1.5 MGD (12-INCH) ROSEMOUNT – DIA- MOND PATH 347 GPM, 0.5 MGD (8-INCH) ROSEMOUNT – DOVE TRAIL 347 GPM, 0.5 MGD (8-INCH) LAKEVILLE – GRANADA AVENUE 347 GPM, 0.5 MGD (8-INCH) All five (5) emergency interconnections are sub- ject to water availability. They are utilized only with prior authorization and coordination with the re- questing city. Under emergency conditions, Apple Valley could provide water to the communities of Burnsville, Rosemount, and Lakeville. Water supply capaci- ty will be dependent on available WTP capacity above the current daily water demand during the emergency. When an emergency connection is implemented, it is recommended to monitor pres- sure upstream at the nearest hydrant to gauge the amount of flow through the connection point to maintain adequate pressure within the distribution system. Rosemount, Lakeville, and Burnsville are all able to supply water to Apple Valley. To utilize the in- terconnections, each City would need to evaluate their system needs to ensure adequate water for domestic and fire use. Water Source Alternatives Apple Valley’s access to surface water is through an emergency connection with the City of Burns- ville. The City of Burnsville treats both water from the Kramer Quarry (gravel mining operation) along the Minnesota River in addition to groundwater. A plan for additional surface water treatment has not been completed and is not considered practical.

In 1997, a filter bypass line was added so a portion of the flow could be diverted around the filter cells if usage was expected to exceed the de- sign capacity. The bypass water was blended with the treated water prior to the chemical addition of chlorine and fluoride. By utilizing the bypass and increasing the backwashing frequency, it was pos- sible to produce more than the designed 12 MGD. Under ideal circumstances, a maximum of 19 to 20 MGD was processed at the WTP. To ensure that the filter bypass water did not adversely im- pact the treated water quality, a maximum 20% bypass capacity was recommended, limiting the total plant capacity to 16.25 MGD. In 2015, Apple Valley expanded and upgraded the WTP. The expansion added four filter cells and two backwash tanks increasing the total plant capacity to 24.4 MGD. The 24.4 MGD assumes the WTP is functional at 100% capacity with the twelve filter cells and at the recommended 20% bypass capacity. Currently, 17 of the City’s 20 wells feed into the WTP. Water from the wells is initially treated with chlorine and sodium permanganate (NaMnO4). These chemicals are used as oxidants to bring the iron and manganese out of suspension so they can be filtered out in the filter cells. The water then flows through approximately 30 inches of sand media, where the iron and manganese (no longer in suspension) are trapped on top of the media. The filtered water is then treated with chlorine and fluoride prior to flowing to the clearwell for storage until needed. From the clearwell, water flows by gravity to the pumping chamber and is pumped to the distribution system and reservoirs. Well 16 has been offline since 2013 and is cur- rently listed as inactive status. The water supply can be further augmented by utilizing emergency backup wells (Wells 1, 2 and 3) which pump wa- ter directly into the distribution system and are not treated by the WTP. These emergency wells have individual chlorine feed systems. Wells 14 and 15 are also considered emergency backup wells but feed into the WTP. They are both constructed in the Mt. Simon aquifer and the City is restricted from utilizing them to meet water demand. The projected maximum water demand in 2030 and 2040 is 17.8 MGD and 19.1 MGD respec- tively. Current treatment capacity without the filter bypass is 18 MGD and 24.4 MGD with the filter bypass limited to 20% of the total plant capacity. Bypassing is initiated at approximately 16 to 17 MGD in anticipation of higher demands. The cur- rent water treatment plant is therefore capable of meeting the projected demands. Much of the demand can be met without bypassing the filters. However, during some of the maximum demand days a portion will need to be bypassed. Water Storage Apple Valley stores water in six existing storage structures as summarized in Table 9.W6. Usable storage is defined as the storage available while still maintaining a sufficient residual pressure with- in the distribution system. For Apple Valley, this is when the storage water level is within 40 feet of the high-water level in the reservoirs or towers. A water storage analysis was conducted to evaluate the ability of the existing storage to meet equaliza- tion, fire and emergency storage, which are de- fined as follows: Equalization Storage – Capacity to meet peak hour demands while operating at a constant flow. Fire Storage – Capacity to meet fire demands. Emergency Storage – Capacity to meet demands during a supply or transmission pipeline outage. Based on the future water demand projects and an average water demand of 7.8 MGD and max- imum day demand of 19.1 MGD needed in 2040, the current storage facilities will continue to meet equalization storage needs, provide adequate fire flow capacity and provide emergency storage.

The distribution system is divided into three pressure zones (Figure 9.W3) to provide appropri- ate pressures to residents. The City’s hydraulic model of the distribution sys- tem was updated and calibrated in 2017. It is used as a dynamic tool for development and redevel- opment planning and used to support policymak- ers with multi-million dollar decisions to address infrastructure needs. The hydraulic model will be continuously updated and evolve in response to the changes made within the distribution system as well as in response to changes with water sys- tem demands. The performance of a finished water distribution system is judged by its ability to deliver the re- quired flows (customer demands and fire-fight- ing needs) while maintaining adequate system pressures and water quality. Meeting these re- quirements, in part, depends on the components within the existing system including transmission and distribution piping, elevated water towers and ground storage reservoirs. Analysis of pressures throughout the distribution system based on maximum day demand of 19.1 MGD are shown in Figure 9.W5. Ten States Stan- dards recommends water pressures between 35 psi and 80 psi. A majority of the system falls with- in a desired level of service of 50 to 80 psi. Near pressure zone boundaries, the system could be analyzed to determine the ability to expand the upper pressure zone without exceeding 80 to 100 psi. When pressure exceeds 80 psi a pressure re- ducing valve is required per the State Plumbing Code. There are a few small areas were pressures range from 30 to 40 psi near ground storage reservoirs or near the edge of a pressure zone boundary. In areas near ground storage reservoirs, individual in-house boosters would be recommended for areas with limited amount of homes effected by low pressures. In these few areas where the water pressure is lower, the water pressure/psi and flow is adequate for domestic use and fire protection. Available fire analysis is shown in Figure 9.W6. Overall, the system can provide a minimum of 500 gpm of available fire flow throughout the system. A majority of the water system can provide at least 1,500 gpm or more of available fire flow at a re- sidual pressure of 20 psi. An available fire flow of 1,500 gpm is typically adequate for a majority of facilities within the system. Facilities needing fire flow greater than 1,500 gpm are typically in com- mercial and industrial land use areas along major street corridors that typically are served by 12-inch and greater water transmission pipelines.

The purpose of emergency planning is to develop emergency re- sponse procedures and to identify actions needed to improve emergency preparedness. The City has adopted a Federal Emergency Re- sponse Plan that was certified in December 2014. In addition, the current City’s DNR Water Supply Plan contains water supply protection measures, including, but not limited to, a plan for prioritizing water use, reducing demand and implementing emergency water connections. Source Water Protection Wellhead Protection Wellhead protection is a means to safeguard pub- lic supply wells by preventing contaminants from entering the area that contributes water to the well or wellfield over a period of time. In 2004, the City completed a Wellhead Protection Plan (WHPP) in accordance with Minnesota rules, Chapter 4720.5200 and updated their plan in 2009. The area from which water is supplied to the City wells is identified as the Wellhead Protection Area (WHPA). The area around it, which is to be protected and managed, is defined as the Drink- ing Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA). These areas are delineated in the Plan and were approved by the Minnesota Department of Health on December 16, 2009. The City’s wells are considered susceptible to con- tamination from activities at the land surface. The plan provides management strategies that the City has developed to address the vulnerability rating of the aquifer and to protect the water supply, in- cluding, but not limited to: • Public education programs on wellhead pro- tection • Proactive management of existing, unsealed and unused wells • Proactive management of other potential sources of contamination • Monitoring of well water levels and possible contaminants Water Conservation Plan Recent Conservation Efforts The City implemented a Water Conservation Plan in 2006 through the DNR Water Emergency and Conservation Plan (Amended in March 2008). The plan addressed both conservation on the supply side (leak detection and repairs, metering), as well as on the demand side (reductions in usage). Tracking Success Results of conservation efforts are measured based on the water demand, water losses and peak demand trends. The residential per capita per day values, peaking factor and unaccounted for water values have each shown a downward trend since conservation efforts were implement- ed in 2006. The residential per capita demand has been reduced from an average of 91 gpcd in 2006 to 75 gpcd currently. The peaking factor has been reduced from an average of 2.8 in 2006 to 2.5 cur- rently. Unaccounted water has been reduced from an average of 12% in 2006 to 9% currently. Conservation Strategies for the Future An updated Water Conservation Plan is included in the 2018 Minnesota Department of Natural Re- sources (DNR) Water Supply. (See Appendix to this Comprehensive Plan) The City plans to con- tinue the water conservation techniques employed over the last 10 years and annually evaluate and expand them as appropriate. A meter replacement program is currently underway and it is anticipated that all meters will be replaced by 2020. The City employs conservation billing strategies for water and rates are evaluated annually. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 9-36Water Resources Capital Improvement Plan & Preventa- tive Maintenance The City is committed to capital reinvestment of the Water Utility to achieve the goals and policies set forth and maintain the long-term sustainability of the Utility. A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is in place to cover expansion (if needed), repair and maintenance of the water system and is updated annually. As discussed in this plan, the capacity of current wells, water treatment plant and storage facilities meet the future demands based on the 2040 pop- ulation projections and land use map. If significant changes were to occur, such as the addition of a large water user, the water plan and resulting CIP would need to be updated. The current water treatment plant is meeting all state and federal government regulations related to water quality. Although not anticipated, the fu- ture planning efforts and CIPs would also need to be adjusted if a currently unregulated water con- stituent becomes regulated, existing regulations become more stringent, or a new contaminant is identified in the wells. Future CIP projects will explore and identify ways to improve the water system, such as investigating lower pressure areas and evaluating the benefit of increasing watermain size during reconstruction projects. Preventative maintenance is extremely important in the life of a water supply and distribution sys- tem. Preventative maintenance is scheduled as follows: • Production wells pulled every 7 years. • Water treatment plant (WTP) high service pumps pulled every 8 years. • Leak detection on one-third of the water sys- tem plus on cast iron pipe, PVC, and overlay areas, etc. - annual inspections. • Valve operation program - scheduled as time permits. • Hydrant flushing and inspection program - semi- annual program spring and fall • Reservoir maintenance: warranty inspection at 2 years, touch up repairs at 10 to 12 years, total reconditioning at 20 to 25 years. Cathod- ic protection at selected sites - annual check. • Valve, meter, equipment, etc. upgrades and replacements are budgeted and scheduled as necessary. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Draft Submission by Year End APPLE VALLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 27, 2018 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE REQUEST Adopt Resolution Authorizing Submittal of Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update to Metropolitan Council 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Community Engagement •2017 and 2018 Home and Garden Expo •Apple Valley Website –Survey and Updates •Stakeholder Meetings •Planning Commission and Park and Recreation Advisory Meetings •Two Open Houses •Public Hearing on June 6, 2018 IMPLICATIONS FOR 2040 •Community Aging •Increasing Diversity •Jobs-Housing Balance •Housing Affordability ( and NOAH ) •National Retail Trends •Development Opportunities through Redevelopment •Technology Trends •Leveraging Airport Proximity POPULATION FORECASTS Year Population Households Employment 2000*45,527 16,344 12,106 2010*49,084 18,875 14,279 2020**55,500 21,700 15,800 2030**59,200 23,300 16,400 2040**63,600 24,900 17,100 *Census Count **Council Forecast 2016 American Community Survey 79% 21% City of Apple Valley Housing Units by Tenure (Own Vs.
