Meeting Handout #1
12-3-2019
The enclosed signed petition letters were handed out Nov. 11 to the 29 occupied households on
Sunnyside Road from France to Grimes avenues.
The signed letters represent residents' collective opposition to the city's plan to allow parking on both
sides, instead of just one side of our street.

Dear Neighbor,
The City of Edina recently sent out letters notifying us that it is going to test allowing parking on both
sides of Sunnyside from France to Arden Avenues. I am among neighbors who oppose this change and
consider it a wrong-headed way to achieve the city's stated safety goal of slowing down traffic on our
street.
The reasons include:
1. Increased Danger for Drivers and Bikers —this is especially true given the amount of truck traffic,
which will increase when the 4500 France apartment/restaurant/retail project is built
2. Reduced Access for Emergency Vehicles — a neighbor on the "no-parking" side of Sunnyside was
denied a parking permit for a food service van for a party, told by the city that would restrict access for
firetrucks, ambulances, etc.
3. No Proof That Narrowing the Road Reduces Speeds — the city's own data shows the average speed on
Sunnyside (30.3 miles) has not changed since the bump-outs were installed in our street reconstruction
I, along with other neighbors, believe there are ways to possibly manage traffic on Sunnyside, including
installing speed bumps and/or diverting some traffic from the 4500 France project.
If you'd like to have your views on this known, please sign and put your street address on the spaces I've
provided at the bottom of this page and put it in my mailbox at 4060 Sunnyside by November 20.
I will collect these and give them to the city, where they can serve as a neighborhood petition that
demonstrates our opposition.
Additionally, you can separately contact Traffic Safety Coordinator Nick Bauler (who has asked for
feedback) at 952-826-0349 or nbauler@edinamn.gov

Dear Neighbor,
The City of Edina recently sent out letters notifying us that it is going to test allowing parking on both
sides of Sunnyside from France to Arden Avenues. I am among neighbors who oppose this change and
consider it a wrong-headed way to achieve the city's stated safety goal of slowing down traffic on our
street.
The reasons include:
1. Increased Danger for Drivers and Bikers —this is especially true given the amount of truck traffic,
which will increase when the 4500 France apartment/restaurant/retail project is built
2. Reduced Access for Emergency Vehicles — a neighbor on the "no-parking" side of Sunnyside was
denied a parking permit for a food service van for a party, told by the city that would restrict access for
firetrucks, ambulances, etc.
3. No Proof That Narrowing the Road Reduces Speeds — the city's own data shows the average speed on
Sunnyside (30.3 miles) has not changed since the bump-outs were installed in our street reconstruction
I, along with other neighbors, believe there are ways to possibly manage traffic on Sunnyside, including
installing speed bumps and/or diverting some traffic from the 4500 France project.
If you'd like to have your views on this known, please sign and put your street address on the spaces I've
provided at the bottom of this page and put it in my mailbox at 4060 Sunnyside by November 20.
I will collect these and give them to the city, where they can serve as a neighborhood petition that
demonstrates our opposition.
Additionally, you can separately contact Traffic Safety Coordinator Nick Bauler (who has asked for
feedback) at 952-826-0349 or nbauler@edinamn.gov

Delivered to Council via the online Correspondence
Submission Form, and directly via email, for the
Tuesday, December 3, 2019
Edina City Council Regular Meeting.
Tuesday, December 3, 2019
Mayor and City Council,
The 2018 Comprehensive Plan decennial Update document ("2018 Comp Plan") has not yet been
finalized, and is scheduled for a final City Council Public Hearing this evening. Upon approval, it will be
submitted to the Metropolitan Council for their review and approval. The first draft of the 2018 Comp
Plan was posted in March 2019 (the "March 6 Draft"). The main public hearings were held earlier this
year at Planning Commission on 4-24-2019 and City Council on 5-7-2019. The hearing draft was the
March 6 Draft. The City of Edina (the "City") subsequently issued a 2nd draft in May (the "May 8 Draft")
and a 3rd draft in October (the "October 2019 Draft"), but did not disclose what the revisions were. In
all three versions, the Comp Plan Update is a draft document of well over 400 pages (436, 436, and 447
pages, respectively). In November 2019, the City posted a redlined version (the "Redline") to show the
revisions, and represented that the Redline showed all of the revisions that the City had made since the
March 6 Draft. However, I have found that some revisions were not identified in the Redline, and that it
appears that the City intended to not publicly disclose some revisions.
One undisclosed revision involves the Grandview District. The City Council is poised to approve the 2018
Comp Plan this evening without full disclosure about this matter, and this is especially troubling because
it suggests that the City is surreptitiously moving forward with planning for the Grandview Green, a.k.a.
"The Lid", a development proposal that has been highly controversial within our community.
A chronology of the draft versions, with links:

Posted after
May 7, 2019 2nd Draft. The May 8 Draft. Sometime after the City Council's May 7 hearing, the
City posted this draft under the link title "Draft Comprehensive Plan 5.8.19"
on the Comprehensive Plan webpage:
https://www.edi nam n.gov/647/Com prehensive-Pl an .
October 2019 3rd Draft. The City posted a new draft (the October 2019 Draft)
under the link title: "October 2019 Comprehensive Plan Draft (PDF)"
on the Comprehensive Plan webpage:
https://www.edinamn.gov/647/Comprehensive-Plan.
November 2019
November 2019
The Redline. The City posted the Redline on the Comprehensive Plan webpage
under the link title "October 2019 Comprehensive Plan REDLINE (PDF)" at:
https://www.edinamn.gov/647/Comprehensive-Plan.
The City posted a description of the Redline on the 2018 Comp Plan page of the
City's adjunct website "Better Together". It is the first posting under the News Feed
tab at: https://www.bettertogetheredina.org/comp-plan-update
Below is the text from the post on "Better Together", concerning the Redline:
"The redlined versions of each chapter... compare the version revised in May
(incorporating comments from the public hearings) with the October 2019 draft.
Some chapters were not changed between March and May, so the comparison is
actually with the March version of the plan." [CC-1.]
The City's confusingly worded description obscures a significant omission. What can be inferred with
effort, however, is that some chapters were changed "between March and May", and that the May 8
Draft contains edits that the Redline does not disclose. In fact, three chapters in the May 8 Draft were
backdated: the Executive Summary, the Community Profile Chapter (Ch2), and the Land Use Chapter
(Ch3). In my 8-29-2019 letter to the City Council, I reported false implications regarding the 50th &
France SAP that were created by the backdating of the Land Use Chapter. With that letter, I enclosed
a worksheet showing the dates of all the chapters in the May 8 Draft, so I am enclosing the worksheet
here, too [CC-2].
Again, one of the undisclosed revisions involves the Grandview District. The Grandview District
Development Framework ("Grandview SAP") is a Small Area Plan ("SAP") that was completed in April,
2012. In the March 6 Draft, the Grandview SAP was included in the list of SAPs being incorporated into
the 2018 Comp Plan. This can be found on Text Page iii (PDF14) of the Executive Summary, in the
bottom half of the page [CC-3].

R. Castellano, 12-3-2019, Page 3 of 4
However, on that same Text Page iii of the Executive Summary in the May 8 Draft, the Grandview SAP
was deleted. Moreover, the Executive Summary had been backdated to May 6, which was one day
prior to the City Council's May 7 public hearing, falsely implying that this version had been subjected
to the May 7 hearing [CC-4].
The deletion of the Grandview SAP is not reported in the Redline [CC-5].
In the October 2019 Draft, which is the draft under the Council's consideration this evening, the
Grandview SAP remains absent from Text Page iii [CC-6]. (The date in the header is 9-30-2019.)
During Community Comment at the November 6, 2019 City Council meeting, I asked if the Redline
represented all changes to the March 6 Draft [CC-7]. In response, Mayor Hovland posed my question
to Community Development Director Cary Teague. Below I have transcribed the exchange, and you
can also listen to it via the link immediately below the picture.
https://youtu.be/L. OQAkLRpZc?t=684
Mayor Hovland: I think Ms. Castellano's question was basically, was there, can we, can we, if
we look at the October 20-- 2019 redline version of the proposed
Comprehensive Plan, does that encompass, does that show all the changes
that have been made since there was a version of it on March 6, 2019?
Director Teague: Yes, it does.
Mayor Hovland: Ok. All right.
Director Teague replied with a misstatement of fact, in that his answer was false.
A17-- 3 P s
R. Castellano, 12-3-2019, Page 4 of 4
Furthermore, a reference unique to the backdated Executive Summary can actually be found in the file
name of the Redline. The file name is "All%20Chapters_5-6%20to%209-30_REDLINES". The file is a PDF,
so if you remove all of the instances of "%20", the file name reads as follows:
"All Chapters_5-6 to 9-30_REDLIN ES".
The Executive Summary was the only chapter that was backdated to May 6.
It appears to me that the City of Edina has intentionally excluded a specific set of revisions from the
Redline. At this time, on the cusp of final approval and submittal to the Metropolitan Council, these
revisions, along with the impacts that may result, have not yet been publicly disclosed. I have been able
to identify the Grandview SAP as one example that has significant potential implications. I am not able
to say whether there are any other significant non-disclosures, as I have not conducted a complete
review.
Backdating, obfuscation, falsification, and undisclosed planning in a public process. In closing, I will
repeat a statement that I previously made on April 2 at City Council, and again on November 13 at
Planning Commission. On April 2, during the Council's public hearing for the 50th & France Small Area
Plan, based on what I observed to be patterned falsification, I testified: "The City of Edina has
demonstrated at this time that they are not capable of conducting a comprehensive plan development,
review, and approval process."
I call on the City Council to suspend the Comprehensive Planning process, and to maintain it in
suspension until such time as the undisclosed revisions have been publicly disclosed and reversed, the
reasons for this defective process have been publicly identified and reformed, and until such time as the
City provides full disclosure to the public regarding all of the intended changes and other purposes
contained in the 2018 Comp Plan, with a public discussion of the associated potential likely implications
and impacts. Thank you.
Sincerely,

Density had been proposed and approved to In the Comp Plan Draft, Edina maintained the Max Density
increase in the small area plans outside of the of 100 in spite of the Council's vote to approve the lesser
Greater Southdale Area. (44th & France, 70th and Max Density of 75. This was further complicated by the
Cahill) backdating of the 2nd Draft (The "May 8 Draft"). In my 8-
29-2019 lette to Council, I addressed this matter in
The 50th and France area was reduced by City greater depth nd described the false implications that
Council from a maximum of 100 units per acre to resulted fro the backdating.

increases in Density only impact
land within the Greater Southdale

The High-Density Residential category was also

If the Density increase is limited to those areas, then Edina
Area. increased from 12 to 30 units per acre to 20-60 still has it wrong in the Comp Plan, because Edina has
units per acre in the Grandview area and Highway represented an across the board increase, and there are

Planning Commission Public Hearing for the
decennial Comprehensive Plan Update

Planning Commission and City Council on

Planning Commission,
Over the course of the past year, I have repeatedly raised concerns about how the City has been
conducting the Comprehensive Planning process, and this remains a chief concern.
Two Comprehensive Plan public hearings were conducted earlier this year on April 24 at Planning
Commission and May 7 at City Council. As just one example of problems, I would like to review Page 13
of the Staff Presentation for both hearings [ATT-1].
In just this one page, the City of Edina:
1) falsely reported the Current Housing Unit Density range for Medium Density Residential.
2) falsely represented that the City is not changing the Density range for the Medium Density
Residential Category going forward.
3) falsely reported that the increases in Density only impact land within the Greater Southdale
Area.
4) falsely represented that the Greater Southdale District Residential was a pre-existing
category.
5) falsely represented the Density going forward for 50th & France, as compared to what the
City actually entered into the Draft Comp Plan—something I subsequently addressed.
6 and 7) falsely represented the going forward Density and the going forward Land Use
Category, for the Mixed-Use Center at Southdale, as compared to what the City has actually
entered in the Draft Comp Plan.
8) falsely represented that the City is not proposing to change the Land Use Category of any
land in the City, which also contradicts a statement of intent that is found in the Draft Plan.
9) concealed a 7-acre increase in the number of acres assigned to the Mixed-Use Center Land
Use Category at either or both the Grandview and 50th & France Districts, and at this time, I
haven't learned which one or both.
Arr-.2 , For 11
R. Castellano, 11-13-2019, Page 2 of 2
In short, the City of Edina has been concealing information from the public, undermining the public's
ability to effectively participate in the Comprehensive Planning process.
On April 2, 2019, during the Council's public hearing for the 50th & France Small Area Plan, based on
what I observed to be patterned falsification, I testified:
"The City of Edina has demonstrated at this time that they are not capable of conducting a
comprehensive plan development, review, and approval process."
I call on the Planning Commission to suspend the Comprehensive Planning process, and to maintain it in
suspension until such time as the reason for these defects has been publicly identified and reformed,
and until such time as the City provides full disclosure to the public regarding all of the intended changes
and other purposes contained in the Update.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Roberta Castellano

10:00 A.M. TO 12:00 NOON
Council attendance: Members Fischer, Anderson, Staunton, Brindle and Mayor Hovland.
Staff attendance: City Manager Scott Neal, and City Clerk Sharon Allison.
The Mayor explained the purpose of the town hall meeting was to allow a free flow of questions

questions that included the following:
• Concerned with City assuming role of developer for 4040 W. 70th Street.
• How to fix the reading curriculum in the School District.
• Bike and pedestrian safety.
• Why were hydrants covered with plastic bags?
• Status of refugee settlement for the State of Minnesota and how many refugees would Edina
take.
• During work session with Rep. Omar, Council should have asked for money to build a fire
station.
• Status of Local Option Sales Tax.
• Tax levy increasing, adding more taxes such as park referendum, increase use of Tax Increment
Financing Funds (TIFF) and impacts to residents on a fixed income.
• Reducing spending to reduce taxes.
• Communicate accurate TIFF amount that the City was obligated to pay including borrowing
costs.
• Why were town hall meetings so poorly attended?
• City should be more involved with the planning of the Southdale Library reconstruction at
Southdale Mall.
• Frequent use of TIFF.
• Arden Park project: a skeptic liked the result.
• Reorganizing trash collection.
• Reducing speed limit on Vernon Avenue to 30 mph the entire length of the roadway.
• Congestion created when narrowing streets from 4- to 2-lanes, e.g. France Avenue near West
50th Street.
The Mayor thanked everyone for attending. The meeting ended at noon.

2020 Commission Proposed Work Plans
City Manager Neal explained that staff worked with the commissions to understand how their proposed
work plans fits into citywide goals. City Manager Neal said several changes for 2020 were limiting cross-
commission work because it was not effective in 2019, determine if a proposed work plan should be a
staff work plan, clarify commissions’ role as advisor versus performing the work, and identify common
themes. For example, trees were in several work plans and it would be more effective if staff identified a
citywide goal related to trees.
Community Engagement Coordinator Lamon presented the proposed work plans to Council. Council
offered feedback. The final work plans will be presented to Council on Dec. 3 for approval.

The Council asked staff to explain the public improvement hearing cancelation request. Engineering
Director Millner said a petition had not been received but the project was on the agenda to hear resident
concerns and request to delay the project until 2021 in order to merge it with another neighborhood
project to the south and avoid construction impacts for two years. Member Brindle introduced and
moved adoption of Resolution No. 2019-101, Cancelling Public Improvement Hearing for
Melody Lake A and Grandview A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction. Member Fischer
seconded the motion.

VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS HELD – Affidavits of Notice presented and ordered placed on file.
VII.A. RESOLUTION NO. 2019-91, PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT FOR SOUTHDALE OFFICE
CENTER, 6600 FRANCE AVENUE – ADOPTED
Community Development Director Teague shared that Wildamere Capital Management, on behalf of the
Southdale Office Partners, LLC, was requesting a subdivision to create a new lot for the recently
constructed Bank of America, located at the north west corner of 69th Street and France Avenue. He
stated there was no proposed development associated with this request and the purpose of the request
was simply to create a separate lot for the existing Bank of America. Mr. Teague explained that because
the property was never platted, the City had the authority to collect park dedication fees but in 1957,
former owners of this property, Dayton's and the Southdale Realty Company, gifted the City 24.2 acres of
land and 10.4 acres of land was sold to the City for $50,000 for what became Rosland Park. He explained
while this gift was not considered park dedication as part of any platting process, it was a significant
contribution to the City's park system by the previous land owner. The proposal was simply to divide off
a separate parcel for Bank of America and Statute required park dedication fees must bear a rough
Minutes/Edina City Council/November 19, 2019
Page 3
proportionality to the need created by the proposed subdivision. Since the subdivision would not result in
any new development, it would not create any additional need for parks and provided an argument for the
Council to waive the park dedication fee.
The Council asked for an estimate of the waived park dedication fee. Mr. Teague replied the fee would be
$159,537.00 and any future development where a new lot or building would be created would require
park dedication fees at that time.
The Council spoke about the possibility of precedent for request to waive future park dedication fees.
City Attorney Knutson advised Statutes and ordinances could change but noted the City would be applying
the law as it was today and with no new development, it was not appropriate to charge park dedication
fees at this time.
Shawn Smith, Vice President Wildamere Capital Management, LLC, shared they were available for
questions.
Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 7:37 p.m.
Public Testimony
No one appeared.
Member Brindle made a motion, seconded by Member Fischer, to close the public hearing.
Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Hovland
Motion carried.
Member Fischer introduced and moved adoption of Resolution No. 2019-91 Approving a
Preliminary & Final Plat at 6600 France Avenue subject to a condition that park dedication
fee of $159,537 shall be paid at the time the City releases the final plat. Member Brindle
seconded the motion.
The Council asked about the motion subject to the condition of park dedication and suggested the action
be taken in two motions, one to waive park dedication fees and the other to adopt the resolution. Mr.
Teague clarified that the Council could remove the amount from the resolution and the applicant pay no
park dedication fee at this time or the Council could delete the proposed condition.
Manager Neal explained the reason an amount had been included was because staff felt a park dedication
fee could be collected but upon additional research, discovered the City could not. He suggested
amending the motion by deleting text after “plat” and removing the condition in its entirety.
The Council confirmed the motion would not preclude future park dedication being paid and
the motioner and seconder accepted the friendly amendment to delete the proposed
condition.

Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Hovland
Motion carried.

Housing Structures by United States Census Bureau Employees, and waive second reading.
INTRODUCTION:
Hard-to-count (HTC) communities are approximately 10% of Edina's residents. Traditionally, HTC communities
have been undercounted in the census. One of the significant barriers to reaching HT C communities is getting
access to them. Most HTC residents live in apartment buildings with restricted access. The attached proposed
ordinance is designed to help census takers in Edina gain access to these restricted apartment buildings.

ORDINANCE NO. 2019-18
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 22 OF THE EDINA CITY CODE
CONCERNING ACCESS TO MULTI-UNIT HOUSING STRUCTURES BY
UNITED STATES CENSUS BUREAU EMPLOYEES
THE CITY COUNCIL OF EDINA ORDAINS:
Section 1. Chapter 22 of the Edina City Code is amended by adding Article 10 to provide as follows:
ARTICLE X. ACCESS TO MULTI-UNIT HOUSING STRUCTURES BY UNITED STATES CENSUS
BUREAU EMPLOYEES
22-310. Declaration; Purpose.
(a) The United States Constitution directs a decennial census count of all persons living in the United
States.
(b) Complete, accurate census data is of critical importance to all residents of Edina for equal political
representation, fair distribution of federal and state funding, and sound planning and investment in
infrastructure, real estate, business development, and public policy and programming.
(c) During the decennial census, the United States Census Bureau conducts Non-Response Follow-up
Operations (NRFU), when employees of the United States Census Bureau visit households that have not
yet submitted a census form.
(d) Renters and others who live in multi-unit housing structures have historically been at higher risk of
being undercounted in the decennial census, with the number of renter households in an area being the
most influential variable affecting an area’s census self- response rate; in other words, the more renters
in an area, the lower the self-response rate of that area.
(e) The risk of an undercount is compounded in areas with high concentrations of communities that
have been consistently undercounted in the past and who are more likely to be renters, including low-
income households, communities of color, Native American/American Indian communities, immigrants
and refugees, and young people.
(f) Multi-unit housing structures can be difficult for Census Bureau employees to enter due to security
barriers.
(g) It is critical that Census Bureau employees have access to multi-unit housing structures during the
decennial census, so they can reach households that have not yet participated.
(h) 13 U.S. Code § 223 authorizes Census Bureau employees to access “any hotel, apartment house,
boarding or lodging house, tenement, or other building”.
22-311. It is unlawful for a person, either directly or indirectly, to deny access to an apartment building,
dormitory, nursing home, manufactured home park, other multi-unit structure used as a residence, or
an area in which one or more single-family dwellings are located on private roadways, to employees of
the United States Census Bureau who display current, valid Census Bureau credentials and who are
engaged in official census counting operations during the Census Bureau’s standard operational hours of
2
205562v1
9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (local time) during the decennial census; and Be It Further
22-312. Census Bureau employees granted access must be permitted to leave census materials in an
orderly manner for residents at their doors, except that the manager of a nursing home may direct that
the materials be left at a central location within the facility; and Be It Further.
22-313. This ordinance does not prohibit (1) denial of admittance into a particular apartment, room,
manufactured home, or personal residential unit; (2) denial of permission to visit certain persons for
valid health reasons, in the case of a nursing home or a Registered Housing with Services Establishment
providing assisted-living services meeting the requirements of Minnesota Statutes, section 144G.03,
subdivision 2; (3) limiting visits to a reasonable number of census employees; (4) requiring a prior
appointment or notification to gain access to the structure; or (5) denial of admittance to or expulsion
of an individual employee from a multi-unit housing structure for good cause.
Section 2. This ordinance is effective immediately upon its passage and publication.

INTRODUCTION:
This item pertains to a 2017 Livable Communities grant awarded to the City from the Metropolitan Council for
the redevelopment of 6600-6800 France Avenue. Subsequently, the City entered into a sub-recipient grant
agreement with Southdale Office Partners, LLC as the developer of the property.
The developer indicates that the project as described in the grant agreement is unable to move forward at this time
and in the approved configuration. While new redevelopment plans are anticipated to be prepared, the timing and
deliverables are not known at this time.
City staff has discussed the situation with staff at Metropolitan Council and determined that it would be most
appropriate for the City to rescind the grant and terminate the sub-grant agreement.
The attached Termination Agreement has been prepared by the City Attorney. Staff recommends that the City
Council approve this termination agreement and rescind the grant from the Metropolitan Council.

Budget Impact
This project will be funded from the stormwater utility. It is an unplanned project.
Environmental Impact
The project involves installation of a sump drain pipe. 5212 Glengarry Parkway recently
redeveloped. Groundwater has been pumped into the street for the majority of the summer from
this property. The developer has installed large infiltration basins at two locations but the amount
of groundwater is greater than the rate of infiltration. In order to reduce Public Work staff time
on ice control during winter months, the sump drain pipe will provide a conduit for pumped
water. This will reduce staff time and salt application for both the city and private properties.
Community Impact
The project serves the purpose of reducing ice and water management along Glengarry Parkway.
This project is supported by four properties along the pipe alignment. The pipe is available to four
properties for future connections.

2020 Proposed Commission Work Plans with Staff Comments
December 3, 2019
Mayor & City Council
MJ Lamon, Community Engagement Coordinator
Approve Proposed 2020 Commission Work Plans
Information / Background:
The proposed 2020 Commission work plans were reviewed at the City Council’s November 19, 2019 work
session. These work plans included city staff comments and recommendations. Recommendations for
initiatives were guided by the following themes:
1. Cross-Commission Committees
New last year, was assigning cross-commission committees, comprised of 2 or 3 commissions, to an
initiative. Commissions found this structure to be challenging, and struggled with finding meeting
times, communication, and different project priorities across commissions. The new
recommendations for cross-commission committees assigns the initiative to one commission and
asks another commission to “appoint” up to two members to provide feedback on the final
recommendation before it goes to Council. This will reduce the need for additional meetings while
still ensuring another commission’s perspective is provided.
2. Staff Operations
There are initiatives presented on proposed work plans which would be considered staff operational
responsibilities. For these types of proposed initiatives, the recommendation is to establish the
commissions role as a Council Charge “review and comment”. This allows staff to establish a process
yet collect comment / feedback from commission members.
3. Other City Work Plans
Initiatives tied to city-wide work with unestablished direction or tied to an approval of CIP, was
recommended to be removed or moved to the parking lot. Before having commissions expend
energy on work still undetermined, staff should establish goals to help identify a commissions’ role.
This included tree initiatives and park strategic plans.
STAFF REPORT Page 2
4. Role Clarification
Commissions are advisory to Council and their work plans should consist of the work they intend to
complete in the upcoming year. Language changes were made to clarify role of the commission and
eliminate misunderstanding the intent of the initiative.
5. Events
When planning communication campaigns and engagement events we need to ensure that 1) we have
the appropriate time and resources to produce intended results, and 2) the number of events does
not result in City programs competing with each other for participation.
In making the final recommendations, staff incorporated feedback from the Council work session. Since the
work session, one initiative was added to the Energy & Environment Commission work plan. This initiative
reads:
Initiative #7: Coordinate 50th Anniversary of Earth Day event with Edina Community Education.
There were a few discussions at the work session about ideas for the Energy & Environment Commission
(EEC). These ideas were not added to the proposed work plans but are listed below for Council review.
1. Sustainability Award - The Commission launched the Business Recognition Program (BRP) in 2019
that achieves goals of recognizing organizations outside of City Hall who contribute to sustainability.
The BRP is a work plan item for 2020.
For recognizing individuals’ contributions to sustainability, the City has Hometown Heroes as an
avenue for such award. EEC and staff can continue to recommend residents like the current Heroes,
Marcie and Tom Hamel, for their work on water quality.
2. Styrofoam
The EEC had this initiative on 2016 work plan in the form of Study and Report. The Study and
Report was submitted to Council on November 7, 2016. During 2019 Work Plan discussion, to-go
food packaging ordinance did come up in the EEC discussion. The EEC decided not to put it on the
Work Plan, but in the parking lot until curbside organics was successfully launched. There was also
discussion of whether an ordinance was the best policy to tackle considering the compostable
packaging is becoming more ubiquitous and might there be a different opportunity to be a leader. The
conversation at the work session was to focus on curbside organics first.
Staff’s recommendation is to approve the 2020 Commission work plans as presented.

Staff Liaison Comments: Mirrors staff and council goals of prioritization, alternate funding and moving the work plan results of 2019 into a CIP planning year.
City Manager Comments: Recommend to change initiative language to read, "Develop criteria that incorporates sustainability and equity for prioritizing capital improvements
for park infrastructure needs, including playground equipment, warming houses and core amenities for expansion and replacement. Parks and Recreation Commission will
create the criteria and both Energy & Environment commission and Human Rights & Relations commission will appoint up to 2 members for feedback on final criteria before

Progress Report:
Review and Recommend
Implement the Braemar Park master plan and pursue alternate
funding opportunities for eligible components.
Staff Liaison Comments: One approach to the implementation of the master plan is to secure full funding for all components. This ensures the vision is fully executed.
Without dedicated full funding, alternate approach is to look at alternate methods to fund the master plan, which could fragment the vision in the interim, as long as support
remains for fully funding any remaining components. Based upon available funding pursing alternate opportunities is a higher likelihood of success at this time.
City Manager Comments: Change initiative to read, " Assist staff with the pursuit of funding opportunities for Braemar Park Master Plan."

DRAFTEdina Police Operations Manual Policy Number 775.00 Subject: Body Worn Cameras – DRAFT POLICY
Effective Date TBD Revised Date 11/13/2019 Page 1
PURPOSE The primary purpose of using body-worn-cameras (BWCs) is to capture evidence arising from police-citizen encounters. This policy sets forth guidelines governing the
use of BWCs and administering the data that results.
It is the policy of this department to authorize the use of department-issued BWCs as set forth below, and to administer BWC data as provided by law. Officers who have been issued BWCs shall use them consistent with this policy.
775.01 SCOPE This policy governs the use of BWCs in the course of official duties. It does not apply to the use of squad-based (dash-cam) recording systems. The chief or chief’s designee
may supersede this policy by providing specific instructions for BWC use to individual
officers, providing specific instructions pertaining to a particular event or providing specific instructions or standard operating procedures for BWC use to officers assigned to specialized details. 775.02 USE AND DOCUMENTATION A. Uniformed officers who are working patrol, traffic enforcement, special details, or department authorized off-duty employment shall use a BWC unless permission has been granted by a supervisor to deviate from this policy. Plain clothes officers
and/or officers working administrative assignments are not required to use a BWC but may elect to use a BWC pursuant to the needs of a specific investigation or job duty or when directed by a supervisor. B. Officers may use only department-issued BWCs in the performance of official duties
for this agency or when otherwise performing authorized law enforcement services as an employee of this department. Officers shall not use their BWC to record non-work-related activity. C. Officers shall conduct a function test of their issued BWCs at the beginning of each
shift. Officers noting a malfunction during testing or at any other time should promptly report the malfunction to the officer’s supervisor. Supervisors should take prompt action to address malfunctions, assign spare equipment when necessary, and report malfunctions using the I.T. Help Desk.
D. Prior to utilizing BWCs users shall complete an approved training course covering proper operation of assigned equipment and a review of this policy. Officers shall wear their issued BWCs in the manner specified in training.
DRAFT EDINA POLICE OPERATIONS MANUAL
Policy Number 775.00
Subject: Body Worn Cameras
Page 2
E. Whenever an officer makes a recording it shall be documented in the incident report, or if no report is written, in the CAD event.
F. Whenever an officer fails to record an activity that is required to be recorded under this policy or captures only a part of the activity, the officer must document the reasons for not recording.
G. The department will maintain the following records and documents relating to BWC
use, which are classified as public data: 1. The total number of BWCs owned or maintained by the department;
2. A daily record of the total number of BWCs deployed and used by officers;
3. The total amount of recorded BWC data collected and maintained; 4. This policy, together with the records retention schedule.
775.03 GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR RECORDING A. Officers shall activate their BWCs when anticipating that they will be involved in or become involved in a pursuit, Terry stop of a motorist or pedestrian, search, seizure,
arrest, use of force, adversarial contact, and during other activities likely to yield
information having evidentiary value. However, officers need not activate their cameras when it would be unsafe, impossible, or impractical to do so. Such instances of not recording when otherwise required must be documented.
B. Officers have discretion to record or not record general citizen contacts. General
citizen contact means an informal encounter with a citizen that is not and does not become law enforcement-related or adversarial, and a recording of the event would not yield information relevant to an ongoing investigation.
C. Officers have no affirmative duty to inform people that a BWC is being operated or
that the individuals are being recorded. D. Once activated, the BWC should continue recording until the conclusion of the incident or encounter, or until it becomes apparent that additional recording is
unlikely to capture information having evidentiary value. The officer having charge of
a scene may direct the discontinuance of recording when further recording is unlikely to capture additional information having evidentiary value. If the recording is discontinued while an investigation, response or incident is ongoing, officers should state the reasons for ceasing the recording on camera before deactivating their
BWC. If circumstances change, officers shall reactivate their cameras as required by
this policy to capture information having evidentiary value.

Policy Number 775.00
Subject: Body Worn Cameras
Page 3
E. Officers should be sensitive to the dignity of members of the public being recorded and exercise sound discretion to respect privacy by discontinuing recording when it reasonably appears that such privacy outweighs any legitimate law enforcement
interest in recording. Requests by members of the public to stop recording should be considered using these same criteria. Recording should resume when privacy is no longer at issue unless no longer required by another section of this policy. Officers should state the reason on camera before deactivating their BWC and
specify the circumstances in their report.
F. Officers shall not intentionally block the BWC’s audio or visual recording functionality to defeat the purposes of this policy.
G. Officers shall not use their BWCs to record other agency personnel during non-
enforcement related activities, such as before or after shift time, in locker rooms or restrooms, during breaks, during other private conversations or within areas of the police department restricted to personnel-only unless recording is authorized as part of an administrative or criminal investigation.
775.04 SPECIAL GUIDELINES FOR RECORDING A. Officers may determine to use their BWCs to record any police-citizen encounter if there is reason to believe the recording would potentially yield information having
evidentiary value, unless such recording is otherwise expressly prohibited.
B. Officers need not record persons being provided medical care unless there is reason to believe the recording would document information having evidentiary value. When responding to an apparent mental health crisis or event, BWCs shall be activated as
necessary to document any use of force and the basis for it, and any other
information having evidentiary value, but need not be activated when doing so would serve only to record symptoms or behaviors believed to be attributable to the mental health issue.
C. Officers should use their BWC to record their transportation and the physical transfer
of persons in their custody to hospitals, detox and mental health facilities and other agencies detention facilities, but otherwise should not record inside these facilities unless necessary to document criminal activity, use of force or an adversarial encounter.
775.05 DOWNLOADING AND LABELING DATA A. Each officer using a BWC is responsible for assuring the transfer of the data from their BWC to the video storage server by the end of the shift. However, if the officer
is involved in a shooting, in-custody death, or other law enforcement activity
resulting in death or great bodily harm, a supervisor or investigator shall take custody of the officer’s BWC and assume responsibility for transferring the data.

Policy Number 775.00
Subject: Body Worn Cameras

B. Officers should label the BWC data files at the time of video capture or transfer to storage, and should consult with a supervisor if in doubt as to the appropriate
labeling. 1. Traffic / No Citation: Traffic related contacts that do not result in the issuance of a citation. (90 days minimum retention)
2. Traffic Citation: Traffic related contacts when a citation is issued. (1 year
minimum retention) 3. Arrest or Use of Force: Incidents involving an arrest and/or the use of force. (3
years minimum retention)
4. Transport: Custodial and non-custodial transports not categorized as “Arrest or Use of Force”. (180 days minimum retention)
5. Misc. Evidence: The recording does not fit into a foregoing category and the
information has evidentiary value with respect to an actual or suspected criminal incident or involved an adversarial encounter that could result in a complaint against the officer. (1 year minimum retention)
6. Misc. Not Evidence: The recording does not fit into a foregoing category and has
no apparent evidentiary value including recordings of general citizen contacts. (90
days minimum retention) 7. Test / Error: Equipment testing and unintentional recordings that have no
evidentiary value. (90 days minimum retention)
C. Labeling designations may be corrected or amended based on additional information.
775.06 AGENCY USE OF DATA A. Supervisors shall review BWC usage by each officer to ensure compliance with this policy.
B. In addition, supervisors and other assigned personnel may access BWC data for the
purposes of reviewing or investigating a specific incident that has given rise to a complaint or concern about officer misconduct or performance. C. Field training officers may utilize BWC data with trainees for the purpose of providing
coaching and feedback on the trainees’ performance.

775.07 DATA SECURITY A. BWC data will be stored on file servers managed by LOGIS who will assure the
security of stored data and provide reasonable backup procedures to protect the data in accordance with their policies and procedures. B. Personally owned devices, including but not limited to computers and mobile
devices, shall not be used to access or view agency BWC data.
C. The video storage database shall be administered in a manner that prevents users from editing, altering, or erasing any BWC recording unless expressly authorized by the chief or the chief’s designee.
D. As required by Minn. Stat. § 13.825, subd. 9, as may be amended from time to time, this agency shall obtain an independent biennial audit of its BWC program. 775.08 DATA RETENTION
A. All BWC data shall be retained for a minimum period of 90 days. There are no exceptions for erroneously recorded or non-evidentiary data. B. Data documenting the discharge of a firearm by a peace officer in the course of duty,
other than for training or the killing of an animal that is sick, injured or dangerous
must be maintained for a minimum period of one year. C. Certain kinds of BWC data must be retained for six years:
1. Data that documents the use of deadly force by a peace officer, or force of a
sufficient type or degree to require supervisory review. 2. Data documenting circumstances that have given rise to a formal complaint against an officer.
D. Other data having evidentiary value shall be retained for the period specified in the General Records Retention Schedule. When a particular recording is subject to multiple retention periods, it shall be maintained for the longest applicable period.
E. All other BWC footage that is classified as non-evidentiary, becomes classified as
non-evidentiary, or is not maintained for training shall be destroyed after 90 days. F. Upon written request by a BWC data subject, the agency shall retain a recording pertaining to that subject for an additional time period requested by the subject of up
to 180 days. The agency will notify the requestor at the time of the request that the
data will then be destroyed unless a new written request is received.

775.09 ADMINISTERING ACCESS TO BWC DATA A. Data subjects. Under Minnesota law, the following are considered data subjects for
purposes of administering access to BWC data: 1. Any person or entity whose image or voice is documented in the data.
2. The officer who collected the data.
3. Any other officer whose voice or image is documented in the data, regardless of whether that officer is or can be identified by the recording.
B. BWC data is presumptively private. BWC recordings are classified as private data
about the data subjects unless there is a specific law that provides differently. As a result: 1. BWC data pertaining to people is presumed private, as is BWC data pertaining to
businesses or other entities.
2. Some BWC data is classified as confidential (see C. below). 3. Some BWC data is classified as public (see D. below).
C. Confidential data. BWC data that is collected or created as part of an active criminal investigation is confidential. This classification takes precedence over the “private” classification listed above and the “public” classifications listed below.
D. Public data. The following BWC data is public:
1. Data documenting the discharge of a firearm by a peace officer in the course of duty, other than for training or the killing of an animal that is sick, injured or dangerous.
2. Data that documents the use of force by a peace officer that results in substantial bodily harm. 3. Data that a data subject requests to be made accessible to the public, subject to
redaction. Data on any data subject (other than a peace officer) who has not
consented to the public release must be redacted if practicable. In addition, any data on undercover officers must be redacted. 4. Data that documents the final disposition of a disciplinary action against a public
employee.
DRAFT EDINA POLICE OPERATIONS MANUAL
Policy Number 775.00
Subject: Body Worn Cameras
Page 7
However, if another provision of the Data Practices Act classifies data as private or otherwise not public, the data retains that other classification. For instance, data that reveals protected identities under Minn. Stat. § 13.82, subd. 17 (e.g., certain
victims, witnesses, and others) should not be released even if it would otherwise fit into one of the public categories listed above. E. Access to BWC data by non-employees. Officers shall refer members of the
media or public seeking access to BWC data to the data practices designee, who
shall process the request in accordance with the MGDPA and other governing laws. In particular: 1. An individual shall be allowed to review recorded BWC data about him- or herself
and other data subjects in the recording, but access shall not be granted: a. If the data was collected or created as part of an active investigation. b. To portions of the data that the agency would otherwise be prohibited by law
from disclosing to the person seeking access, such as portions that would
reveal identities protected by Minn. Stat. § 13.82, subd. 17. 2. Unless the data is part of an active investigation, an individual data subject shall be provided with a copy of the recording upon request, but subject to the following
guidelines on redaction:
a. Data on other individuals in the recording who do not consent to the release must be redacted.
b. Data that would identify undercover officers must be redacted.
c. Data on other officers who are not undercover and who are on duty and engaged in the performance of official duties, may not be redacted.
d. Data subject must submit an official request and pay any associated fees from
the posted fee schedule. F. Access by peace officers and law enforcement employees. No employee may have access to the department’s BWC data except for legitimate law enforcement or
data administration purposes: 1. Officers may access and view stored BWC video only when there is a business need for doing so, including the need to defend against an allegation of misconduct or substandard performance. Officers may review video footage of an
incident in which they were involved prior to preparing a report, giving a statement
or providing testimony about the incident.

2. Access by agency personnel shall be logged automatically within the BWC video storage database at the time of each access. Agency personnel are prohibited from accessing BWC data for non-business reasons and from sharing the data for
non-law enforcement related purposes, including but not limited to uploading BWC data recorded or maintained by this agency to public and social media websites. 3. Employees seeking access to BWC data for non-business reasons may make a
request for it in the same manner as any member of the public.
G. Other authorized disclosures of data. Officers may display portions of BWC footage to witnesses as necessary for purposes of investigation as allowed by Minn. Stat. § 13.82, subd. 15, as may be amended from time to time. Officers should
generally limit these displays in order to protect against the incidental disclosure of
individuals whose identities are not public. Protecting against incidental disclosure could involve, for instance, showing only a portion of the video, showing only screen shots, muting the audio or playing the audio but not displaying video. In addition:
1. BWC data may be shared with other law enforcement agencies only for legitimate
law enforcement purposes that are documented in writing at the time of the disclosure. 2. BWC data shall be made available to prosecutors, courts, and other criminal
justice entities as provided by law. 775.10 COMPLIANCE A. Supervisors shall monitor for compliance with this policy. The unauthorized access
to or disclosure of BWC data may constitute misconduct and subject individuals to
disciplinary action and criminal penalties pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 13.09. B. The chief or chief’s designee shall periodically review the efficacy of the body worn camera program including review of this policy to assure it remains compliant with
relevant laws and best practices.

Executive Summary
Why plan?
Some ask “Why bother to predict the future?” However,
when a community prepares a Comprehensive Plan, it is
not trying to predict the future – the distant future in
particular. Through comprehensive planning, a community
examines trends, challenges, and opportunities, studies the
forces of change from within their community and from
without, and contemplates possible futures. Through these
activities a community can prepare for what may come to
pass. By building on its vision and values, a community can
also decide what kind of future looks best and steer itself in
that direction.
Minnesota State law requires that cities’ comprehensive
plans must be updated at least once every ten (10) years.
This Comprehensive Plan fulfills the City’s responsibilities in
growth management as required by the Metropolitan Land
Planning Act (Section 462.355, Subds. 4, 473.175 and
473.851 to 473.871) and ensures consistency with and
support of Thrive MSP 2040, which documents the
Metropolitan Council’s vision for the Twin Cities
metropolitan region over the next 30 years. Thrive MSP
2040 anticipates future needs in the region and identifies
each community’s role and responsibility in bringing the
region’s vision to life.
Purpose of the Comprehensive Plan:
Making the Right Choices
The Edina Comprehensive Plan is designed as a framework for guiding future development,
redevelopment, and community enhancement. By integrating social, physical, economic, and broader
environmental perspectives into the community’s decision-making, the Comprehensive Plan provides
direction to matters that can improve the everyday lives of residents, workforce, and visitors. It is a
guide for making the right choices to shape Edina’s collective future growth, to protect what Edina
values, and to create an even more attractive, sustainable, and welcoming Edina.
The Edina Comprehensive Plan lays out a unified “big picture” for seeing
connections and understanding the consequences of our choices. This plan
was developed around a strategy that recognizes that most of the
community is fully-developed. Therefore, growth, redevelopment, and
public investments are directed to neighborhood nodes through Small Area
Plans for Wooddale/Valley View, 44th and France, 50th and France, 70th and
Cahill, and in the City’s southeast quadrant with the Greater Southdale
District Plan. This strategy to focus growth preserves the integrity of
single-family and low-density neighborhoods, makes good use of existing
infrastructure capacity and planned improvements, and encourages
Edina’s Vision Statement

efficiency in new infrastructure investments in streets, sidewalks, transit lines, water and sewer lines,
stormwater management, and parks.
Plan Development
During 2017 and 2018, City of Edina Comprehensive Plan Task
Force (CPTF) of the Planning Commission led a work program that
organized the City’s other commissions in a collaborative effort
with City staff and a team of professional consultants to examine
and update the various topical chapters of the 2008 Comprehensive
Plan, consider current and future issues, and propose new
directions where appropriate and warranted.
The planning process was initiated in April, 2017 with two
workshops. The first workshop, conducted over two days,
was “Bridging Between Vision and Planning. During the first
day, participants reaffirmed findings from “Vision Edina,” a
city-wide visioning document completed in 2015 and
identified “Big Ideas” that should be considered in the
development of the Comprehensive Plan. The second day
was focused on mapping the “Big Ideas.
In early May, another workshop, “Comprehensive Planning
101” was sponsored by the Comprehensive Plan Task Force
for all City Commissions.
A Community Kick-Off Meeting was held in mid-May, 2017
to officially begin work on the Comprehensive Plan.
Through dozens and dozens of meetings and work sessions,
resident and business Work Groups led the preparation of
each of the draft neighborhood node Small Area Plans and the District Plan for Greater Southdale, with
those processes also including public open houses for review and comment.
Throughout this process, over 170 meetings, workshops, and open houses were held.
Plan Organization
The Edina Comprehensive Plan is designed: (1) to be a readable and functional decision-making
framework to guide future growth and change in Edina and (2) to fulfill Edina’s regional responsibilities
for land use, housing, transportation, water resources, and regional parks and trails.
Edina: A Community of Learning
An additional focus of Edina’s local planning is “EDUCATION.” This element of life in Edina has long
served as a major attraction for families who decide to move to the community, and the quality and
achievement levels of Edina’s public schools are second to none in the State of Minnesota. But the
Planning Commission has asked, “Why should high quality education be limited to the public schools?
Shouldn’t education be woven into the fabric of the community in as many ways as possible; in artistic
and cultural expressions, in the parks, in public infrastructure, in community gatherings, in community
health, in policing, in heritage preservation, etc.?” Thus, goals, policies, and implementation steps
presented in this plan update place an emphasis on information demonstrations, exhibitions, sharing,

communication, and expanding residents’ awareness . . . all in an effort to ensure that learning extends
beyond formal classroom settings.
Each chapter of the plan that discusses the thirteen (13) substantive resource areas (e.g., land use,
housing, arts and culture, transportation, economic development, water resources, etc.) includes
examples of how EDUCATION and the benefits of learning can be extended across generations and
into the fabric of the community
This plan is organized into these basic components:
1. An Executive Summary

Chapter Highlights
Chapter 2: Community Profile provides data trends and future projections of basic demographic
elements including population, housing, and employment. The intent is to provide context that will
inform both the vision for growth in the community, and the recommended direction for policy.
• The City of Edina is expected to continue to grow in population, households, and
jobs.
• Demographic trends such as an increase in children, as well as the overall aging of the
population, will shape the future of the city.
• The population is still fairly racially homogenous and affluent, but is steadily becoming
more diverse, particularly with newer and younger residents.
• Edina’s population is older than the state overall, with more than one third of Edina
households including at least one older adult.
• Edina’s median household income is well above metro and state averages.
• Household sizes are declining overall, but there is evidence of the appeal of Edina to families
with school aged children, with a large share of married couple families and one or both
parents less likely to be working outside the home.
• The housing stock continues to diversify over time, though
housing affordability remains a consistent challenge,
especially for first time homeowners and seniors, due to
very high land values.
• Edina retains its role as a regional employment destination,
building on its centralized location and established
economic base.
Chapter 3: Land Use and Community Design provides
not only guidance for land use and development within the city, but
some of the organizing principles for the city itself. This chapter also
provides guidance for the character, scale, and built form of
development.
• The land use vision for the City of Edina will guide the
future distribution, mix, and intensity of uses to optimize
the current and future vitality and livability of the
community.
• The biggest land use changes in the city will be in
targeted areas of change – including those identified through the small area planning
processes. These places are potential opportunities for shifts in uses and intensities,
supporting larger community goals.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Executive Summary 09-30-19
v
• While much of the city’s land area will not be targeted for change, it will not remain
static or frozen in time. Continued investments in these primarily single-family areas
are needed to maintain and update aging buildings and infrastructure to meet the
needs of the people and businesses that use them.
• Overall community character and livability are greatly valued in Edina. There will be a
continual need to balance protecting what is valued and responding to needed and
ongoing changes.
• Land use bears a close and vital
relationship to public infrastructure,
utilities, and services. The City will need
to plan and invest responsibly in these
systems – both to maintain existing
facilities and to provide new ones in
response to changing and expanding
needs. This is addressed in more depth
in other chapters.
• Sustainability is an important value
throughout this plan. In terms of land use, it has implications from the small scale (e.g.
how buildings are constructed and maintained) to citywide (e.g. responsible use of
resources, preparing a community to respond to climate change). This is addressed in
more depth in other chapters.
Chapter 4: Housing provides an overview of (1)
existing housing conditions, (2) trends and challenges
related to housing, (3) discussion of future housing needs
including the need for affordability, (4) goals and policies,
and (5) an implementation plan.
• The housing vision for Edina will guide policies
related to housing affordability, choice, quality, and
community context.
• Affordability will remain a central issue and
challenge for Edina in the coming years as it seeks
to provide a range of housing options to meet the needs of Edina residents at all life
stages and income levels.
• The City of Edina has taken proactive steps regarding
affordability via its Housing Succession Plan and the
subsequent adoption of its Affordable Housing Policy,
but evaluation is needed to determine if this is
sufficient.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Executive Summary 09-30-19
vi
• Changing needs and preferences in Edina regarding housing type, size, style, and location
will have implications both in areas of change and areas of stability citywide.
• Interactions between housing and other community elements (including schools,
employers, transportation, parks, retail and services, etc.) are critical to the long-term
sustainability of the community.
• Safe, secure, and affordable housing is essential to the healthy development of individuals,
families, businesses, and communities. The City of Edina recognizes the need to provide
affordable housing to a broad range of people who live, work and attend school here. It serves
to preserve, create, and maintain an equitable community that promotes racial/ethnic and
socioeconomic diversity.
• Diversity of housing is essential to the creation of
innovative and sustainable communities that will
succeed in a rapidly changing society.
• Affordable housing is also a region-wide issue of
vitality and sustainability. Regional vitality depends
upon all municipalities, including Edina, providing
their fair share of affordable housing.
Chapter 5: Transportation discusses the transporta-
tion network, its existing and planned future design, function, and operational characteristics. Current
and future conditions are considered against three aspects of movement: (1) to and from, (2) within, and
(3) through the City.
Edina is a nearly fully developed community, and the existing
roadway network is essentially complete. Today’s primary
transportation planning focus is not on building new roads or
new alignments but on:
• Renewing, managing, and improving the existing
transportation system (network).
• Ensuring the transportation system can accommodate
travel demand imposed by new developments.
• Improving the City’s non-motorized transportation system
to facilitate pedestrian and bicycle movement and increase active
transportation.
• Supporting and encouraging transit use.
• Increasing safety for all modes and users.
• Implementing the City’s Livable Streets Plan to ensure that the
transportation needs of all users will be considered and all modes
will be appropriately accommodated.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Executive Summary 09-30-19
vii
• Ensuring that the City will manage the existing and future transportation systems in an efficient
and responsible manner to achieve livability, sustainability, and a high level of environmental
quality.
Chapter 6: Parks, Open Space, and Natural Resources uses the following six key points to
guide the development of goals and policies presented in this chapter.
• Commit a minimum of 15 percent of Edina’s land
area to be used as parks and green space. (As of
the most recent census, we are right at this
threshold.) Future standards will need to consider
changing demographics along with population
increases, as a percentage of land area is not
necessarily a good measure or threshold.
• Prepare an updated Master Plan for all Community
and Special Use parks to guide use, growth and
future development. Every Park Master Plan will include an approach to best maintain, improve
and promote its natural resources. Some parks will be developed from the removal of parking
lots or buildings, where natural resources have long since been eliminated.
• Connect our neighborhoods via a Grand Rounds concept and in coordination with the
Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan.
• Be intentional on the use of benchmarking to assess
progress against strategic objectives.
• Explore alternative funding models to support future
growth and accomplishment of the Edina Park and
Recreation Department Mission Statement: To create
parks, facilities and programs that foster a healthy
inclusive community. We accomplish this through
creative leadership, collaborations, environmentally
sustainable practices and the responsible use of
available resources.
• Establish park facilities within a half mile distance of each Edina resident
Chapter 7: Water Resources provides a citywide perspective
on all water resource utilities:
Sanitary Utility removes wastewater from residences, businesses,
and institutions for treatment.
Stormwater Utility maintains resources and facilities for the
citywide management of stormwater.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Executive Summary 09-30-19
viii
Water Utility treats and supplies drinking water to residents, businesses, and institutions.
• Improvements to the utilities are done according to established standards to meet expectation
for high quality service.
• Concepts of one water, sustainability, and conservation guide the City in ongoing improvements
to the systems.
• While the utility system is largely established
citywide, it needs ongoing maintenance and
renewal to continue to function.
• With regular maintenance and planned
improvements, the water resource utilities will
have adequate capacity to accommodate growth
within the city through 2040, consistent with
other sections of the comprehensive plan.
Chapter 8: Energy and Environment outlines existing conditions and progress to date on
promoting more comprehensive recycling, smart building, and energy efficiency practices, as well as a
framework for recommendations for the future to ensure the economic and environmental health of the
community.
• The people in the City of Edina strongly value building and
maintaining a sustainable environment, although that has not always
been matched by actions.
• The City of Edina will take actions to address climate change,
including greenhouse gas reduction and solid waste reduction.
• Climate change will have an increasing impact on Edina, as evidenced
by a recent United Nations report as well as by atmospheric
processes, land-atmospheric interactions, and greenhouses gases
responses research studies carried out by the Department of Soil,
Water, and Climate at the University of Minnesota.
• Sustainability aligned with equitable distribution of benefits should be a foundational
element of the City’s decision-making process.
Chapter 9: Community Services and Facilities inventories and examines existing services and
facilities, identifies future needs, determines the requirements for maintaining and enhancing these
services and facilities to meet Edina’s growing and changing population. Community services and
facilities are publicly-accessible resources that (1) Help make lives safer, healthier, and more enjoyable,
and (2) Enhance skills and abilities to enable residents, workers, and visitors to lead more rewarding and
productive lives. This chapter addresses Public Safety (Police and Fire) and Education / Lifelong Learning
(Schools and Libraries).
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Executive Summary 09-30-19
ix
• Population growth, demographic changes especially in the
65+ age category, a growing workforce, and an increased
pace of redevelopment, especially in the Greater
Southdale District, will require an increased public safety
response, including consideration of alternative non-
traditional styles of policing and addressing growing
diversity through the lens of equity and inclusion.
• Increased building activity, primarily in the form of multi-
unit residential and mixed-use structures, place high
demands on both the Fire and Building Inspection
Divisions of the Fire Department.
• Current and future redevelopment activities and the concomitant population increase in the
Greater Southdale District point to the need to relocate and expand Fire Station No. 2 towards
the northwest area of this District to address the rising increase in response times, and to
accommodate additional Emergency Management Services (EMS) resources, possibly as a joint
Police/Fire facility. Also, it is anticipated that in 5-10 years, there will be a need for (new) Fire
Station No. 3 in the northeast quadrant of the City.
• Enrollment projections in the Edina Public Schools (ISD 273)
do not point to a need to expand existing facilities.
However, in recognition of the fast-paced redevelopment
activity and the changing demographics in the Greater
Southdale District, Edina Public Schools is monitoring these
changes to determine the impact on future enrollment and
the broader range of services they provide.
• Hennepin County Library plans no significant facility or
programmatic change to the Grandview Library. However,
Hennepin County Library does plan to replace the
Southdale Library either on the northwest quadrant of its
current 7.7-acre site on York Avenue or at a nearby location.
• An opportunity is identified for Hennepin County Library to partner with Edina Public Schools
and others such as Fairview Southdale Medical Center, City of Edina Departments, Southdale
Center Mall, Southdale YMCA, and Minnesota State University-Mankato at Edina to provide
“outside-the-box” multi-generational and lifelong learning programs, especially in a re-location
and re-design of the new Southdale Library to better match the pattern and character of the
Greater Southdale District’s evolution.
Chapter 10: Economic Competitiveness and Economic Development discusses Edina’s
important role in the regional economy by providing employment locations for high-wage industries in
its business and industrial parks, and serving as a regional hub for health care, retail, hospitality, dining,
and entertainment.
• Workplaces are changing and many are being designed to attract the next generation of
workers. Edina’s business and industrial parks are aging and there are opportunities for
updating and revitalization.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Executive Summary 09-30-19
x
• The health care sector is one of the fastest growing
segments of the economy nationally and regionally.
Growth is expected to continue as the large “baby
boom” generation creates an increased demand for
medical services. This has implications for the strong
health care sector in the Greater Southdale area.
• The retail industry is experiencing significant
transformation as consumer shopping patterns change.
Retail stores and shopping centers are rethinking their
role and exploring ways to adapt successfully.
• Smaller commercial nodes in Edina serve important functions in their neighborhoods,
providing goods and services to area residents and building a sense of community and
place. These are areas where smaller, locally-owned businesses typically find more
affordable rents, property ownership opportunities, and access to a customer base.
• Goals developed for this chapter are focused on:
o Revitalizing Edina’s business and industrial parks
o Capitalizing on expected growth in the health care
sector
o Attracting high quality employment opportunities
o Successfully adapting to dynamic market changes in
regional retail areas
o Encouraging vibrant neighborhood commercial
nodes
o Ensuing the availability of a skilled, productive
workforce
o Expanding the city’s broadband infrastructure and
capacity
•
Chapter 11: Human Rights and Relations describes the Edina’s goals and policies that have
been developed to ensure that City departments, programs, officials and staff are working to “Build a
Human Rights City with Race Equity For All.” Before outlining these specific goals and policies, the
chapter discusses the difference between “equality” and “equity;” two words, which at the surface, imply
the same thing and are often used interchangeably. At a deeper level, however, these two words are
related but have different meanings. Together, with equality as a base and
equity as an aspirational end, they define how the City will operate to
ensure that all residents are given the opportunities they need to enjoy
and benefit from living in Edina.
One of the aims of this chapter is to ensure that steps are taken to
ensure that the City looks at its departments, program, services, and
practices through the lenses of equality and equity and, thus, truly
established itself as a “Human Rights City.” Of particular concern is
equality and equity in the areas of: housing, community services and
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Executive Summary 09-30-19
xi
facilities, parks and recreation, and environment. Goals discussed in this chapter are focused on:
• Establishing a race equity plan.
• Ensuring equal access and opportunities for all residents.
• Ensuring that the City welcomes all members of the community to participate in its social,
employment, economic, political, and recreational activities.
• Ensuring that the City supports and fosters economic equity and justice for all residents.
• Ensuring that economic harm should not be an intended or unintended consequence of City
programs, initiatives, or activities.
Chapter 12: Health states that the mission of the
Edina Public Health Division is to protect the health
and promote the general well-being and welfare of the
City’s residents, and to prevent disease and illness in
the community. This chapter provides a policy
framework for continued progress on the division’s
mission and goals. This chapter also outlines a “health
in all policies” approach wherein health is systemically
addressed and included in policies throughout the plan.
• Edina strives for a high standard of health overall, although specific concerns and racial
and economic disparities exist that need to be addressed.
• Understanding of health concerns is limited by the lack of community-specific data.
• Changing demographics and aging in the
community will continue to change health
outcomes and needs.
• Public health is impacted by a range of social and
environmental factors that require a multi-faceted
approach across all of the city.
• Health in all policies provides an approach to
comprehensively address health concerns across
the full city government in cooperation with
partners.
Chapter 13: Heritage Preservation discusses the City’s Heritage Preservation Commission and
its ongoing efforts to recognize, honor, appreciate, and make accessible the City’s past. It is the mission
of the Commission to preserve the City’s historically significant resources (sites, districts, buildings, and
objects) and ensure that they will be available for future generations to provide a sense of identity and
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Executive Summary 09-30-19
xii
continuity in a fast-changing world. It is the belief of
the Commission that these things reflect and shape
values and aspirations and thereby contribute to the
City’s identity.
This chapter describes the process by which historic
resources gain Heritage Landmark designation, and
provides a description of existing heritage resources
and their historical contexts.
The city heritage preservation program, as well as its
goals and policies, are organized into six program
areas, reflecting the Secretary of the Interior’s
standards and guidelines for historic preservation as
well as current professional practices in heritage preservation planning.
• Program Area 1 - Preservation Planning
• Program Area 2 - Identification of Heritage Resources
• Program Area 3 - Evaluation of Heritage Resources
• Program Area 4 - Designation of Heritage Landmarks
• Program Area 5 - Design Review and Compliance
• Program Area 6 - Public Education and Outreach
Chapter 14: Arts and Culture examines arts, creative expression, and culture in the City of Edina
and the Arts and Culture Commission’s efforts to tie these to the community in ways that will enrich
residents and visitors and contribute to a high quality of living.
The following six goals were developed to guide the development of the Arts and Culture Commission’s
annual work plans for the next ten years:
Goal 1: Distribute and promote arts and culture
across all of Edina to provide opportunities for people
to come together in the creation and celebration of art
and culture, building inclusive communities.
Goal 2: Leverage the Edina Arts and Culture Commission (ACC)
to form strong and enduring collaborative partnerships between
the ACC and other Edina commissions and associations to
incorporate arts and culture into planning and implementation
processes.
Goal 3: Improve and maintain dedicated spaces and venues for arts
and culture; activate each with dynamic programming that includes
a broad array of art forms and expressions accessible to all.
Goal 4: Expand and continue to drive awareness of and participation in Edina’s Public Art program and
art collection.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Executive Summary 09-30-19
xiii
Goal 5: Establish a formal role for artists and other creative
thinkers to participate in forward-looking plans for Edina.
Goal 6: Research, decide on, and implement the necessary funding
and governance plans for supporting arts and culture in Edina.
Chapter 15: Implementation contains the recommended
actions and activities that emanate from the goals and policies,
along with timelines for completing them. Together, these actions,
activities, and timelines define an overall strategy for executing the
Comprehensive Plan.
This chapter describes the official controls (such as ordinances,
and zoning and subdivision regulations), public programs and
policies (such as the Affordable Housing Policy), funding
partners, and fiscal devices (such as the Capital Improvement
Program).
Also, this chapter designates implementation roles and
responsibilities that will ensure implementation and efficient
management of public infrastructure and investments.
Primary responsibility and decision-making authority lie with the
City Council. Appointed Boards and Commissions provide
oversight, input, and guidance related to focus areas for the
community. City staff carry out implementation actions through departmental work programs and
budgets. Many other organizations and agencies are an important part of the implementation process to
achieve the intended outcomes. Examples of these include Hennepin County, the Edina School District,
Hennepin County Library, Nine Mile Creek Watershed District, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District,
adjacent cities, and various neighborhood groups and community associations in Edina.

I. Introduction and Vision
Introduction
Edina is a preeminent community for living, learning, raising families, and doing business. A strong and
healthy community grows and evolves in response to its residents’ needs and wants; changing
demographics; emerging social needs; environmental awareness; advances in technology; and market-
based trends, realities, and demands. Additionally, communities within the Twin Cities metropolitan
area, in order to maintain and ensure the future health and prosperity of the region, grow in response
to thresholds identified by the Metropolitan Council. These are the premises upon which this 2018
Comprehensive Plan Update is based.
Regional Planning
Minnesota State law requires that cities’ comprehensive plans must be reviewed and updated at least
once every 10 years. The updated Edina Comprehensive Plan must be submitted to the Metropolitan
Council by December 31, 2019 or according to a date acceptable to the Council if later than December
31. This Comprehensive Plan fulfills the City’s responsibilities in growth management as required by the
Metropolitan Land Planning Act (Section 462.355, Subds. 4, 473.175 and 473.851 to 473.871), in concert
with Thrive MSP 2040, which presents the Metropolitan Council’s vision for Twin Cities metropolitan
area (our region) over the next 30 years. Adopted on May 28, 2014, Thrive MSP 2040 anticipates future
needs in the region and identifies each community’s role and responsibility in bringing the region’s vision
to life.
About Thrive MSP 2040
Under state law, the Metropolitan Council prepared Thrive MSP 2040 as the long-range plan for the
Twin Cities region. This plan set the policy foundations for systems and policy plans developed by the
Council, specifically for four regional systems:
• Housing (Chapter 4)
• Transportation (Chapter 5)
• Regional parks (Chapter 6)
• Water resources (Chapter 7)
In accordance with the Metropolitan Land Planning Act, the City of Edina’s 2018 Comprehensive Plan
Update duly responds to regional mandates.
Resilience
Resiliency is having the capacity to respond, adapt, and thrive under changing conditions. Consideration
of vulnerabilities - and responses to those vulnerabilities – can only strengthen a community’s ability to
prepare for and respond to unforeseen occurrences. Toward that end, Thrive MSP 2040 additionally
encouraged communities within the region to plan for climate change, for example, and to develop
climate mitigation strategies as part of their comprehensive plan updates. It was suggested that climate-
related strategies might: (1) promote land use and development patterns that will contribute toward
achieving Minnesota’s adopted greenhouse gas emissions goals or (2) recognize changing rainfall patterns
that require additional storm water management capacity.
While resilience was not identified as a required element in comprehensive plan updates, the City of

position the City to meet climate-related challenges in a proactive manner. (See Chapter 8: Energy and
Environment.)
Economic Competitiveness
As with Resilience, consideration of the region’s ability to compete in a global economy was not
identified as a required element in the comprehensive plan updates. The City of Edina, nonetheless,
elected to address its responsibility to the region through consideration of factors that drive the
regional economy and how, by aligning itself appropriately, regional and local economic benefits can be
realized. (See Chapter 10: Economic Competitiveness and Economic Development.)
While the Metropolitan Council does not assume an active role in economic development, the Council’s
role in providing regional infrastructure, services, and amenities that serve as a foundation for economic
growth is intended to align with and support ongoing economic development efforts to the greatest
extent possible. As acknowledged in Thrive MSP 2040, regional economic competitiveness is a core
element of the region’s sustained prosperity. Collectively, cities in the region must provide great and
suitable locations for businesses to succeed; particularly for those industries that export products or
services beyond the metropolitan area and bring revenue and jobs to the region. Chapter 10 recognizes
and plans for Edina’s responsibility to the region (and its local economy and tax base) by addressing its
ability to retain, attract, and grow businesses that bring wealth into the community and region.
Developed in Chapter 10 are goals for retaining businesses and industries located along major
transportation facilities and strengthening relationships with organizations such as Greater MSP,
economic development authorities, industry associations, the Minnesota Department of Employment
and Economic Development (DEED), and chambers of commerce.
Local Planning
The City of Edina currently uses its 2008 Comprehensive Plan to guide its policy-making and decisions.
However, as Edina moves towards the future, the needs of the City and its residents will change. The
changes need to be reflected and addressed in an updated Comprehensive Plan to better serve the
community, i.e. its current citizens and new residents and businesses that will come here in the future.
Thus, the 2018 Comprehensive Plan Update has not only been prepared to meet requirements
codified in State statutes but also (and as importantly) to define and reinforce local concerns and
preferences for life in Edina. This update is largely about the City, its residents and visitors, its
workforce, its residential areas, its commercial areas, and its design and appearance.
Areas of Change
As a fully developed first-ring suburb of Minneapolis, Edina, at nearly 16 square miles in area, is largely
built with established land use patterns. It is anticipated that the majority of uses and development
patterns will not change. Approximately 93 percent of the City’s land area will be unaffected by the
2018 Comprehensive Plan Update.
The 2008 Comprehensive Plan, however, did identify six areas within the community where change
was anticipated to occur. This update to 2008 plan followed direction provided earlier by recognizing
existing land use would remain constant except for the following six nodes:
• Wooddale & Valley View
• GrandView
• 44th & France
• Greater Southdale
Edina Comprehensive Plan
1. Introduction Draft 09-30-19
1-3
• 70th & Cahill
• 50th & France
A development framework plan was prepared for one of these areas (the GrandView District) in 2012,
and small area plans were developed for four of the areas (Wooddale & Valley View, 44th & France,
70th & Cahill, and 50th & France) between 2015 and 2019. A district plan was developed for Greater
Southdale in 2018. These plans were developed to provide guidance for the changes expected to
occur: guidance in the areas of land use, density, transportation, economic vitality, and design and
appearance. Outcomes from the framework plan and the small area and district plans have informed
and influenced the development of both Edina’s locally-focused and regional planning. These small area
and district plans are incorporated by reference in the 2018 Comprehensive Plan Update and can be
accessed electronically with hyperlinks.
Relationships Across Local Systems
As directed by the Edina Planning Commission and the City’s other commissions, an important focus
of this 2018 update has been placed on the relationships that exist across the City’s systems. Viewed
as opportunities to design programs and provide services more efficiently and effectively, enhanced
integration of the City’s various departments and divisions presents potential to further enhance the
community’s livability. Efforts to call attention to these relationships are presented in the plan’s goals,
policies, and implementation steps; through hyperlinks; and in a matrix shown in the Appendix that
shows where and how the City’s systems and programs can be better linked.
Edina: A Community of Learning
An additional focus of Edina's local planning is "EDUCATION." The quality and achievement levels of
Edina's public schools are highly regarded in the State of Minnesota, and this element of life in Edina has
long served as a major attraction for families who decide to move to the community. But the Planning
Commission has asked, "Why should high quality education be limited to the public schools? Shouldn't
education be woven into the fabric of the community in as many ways as possible; in artistic and cultural
expressions, in the parks, in public infrastructure, in community gatherings, in community health, in
policing, in heritage preservation, etc.?" Thus, goals, policies, and implementation steps presented in this
plan update place an emphasis on information sharing, exhibitions, communication, and expanding
residents' awareness of how the City works, how it has been and will be developed, and the
interrelatedness of its program and services.
Each chapter of the plan includes examples of how EDUCATION and the benefits of learning can be
extended beyond the formal classroom, across generations, and into the fabric of the community.
How the Comprehensive Plan Update was Prepared
Comprehensive Plan Task Force (Planning Commission) and Work Group
According to Edina City Code (Sec, 805.02, Subd, 1), the Planning Commission is responsible for
preparing, reviewing, and making recommendations on the Comprehensive Plan, including its required
updates. The Comprehensive Plan Task Force, comprised of residents who are currently on the Planning
Commission, oversaw the preparation of the updated Comprehensive Plan and addressed both the
Metropolitan Council’s regional planning requirements and local planning concerns.
The City’s local planning efforts documented in this Comprehensive Plan update were predominantly
focused on five small area plans and one district plan. Work Groups made up of community members
appointed by City Council guided the small area plan and district plan studies and the development of
Edina Comprehensive Plan
1. Introduction Draft 09-30-19

the plans. Two members of the Comprehensive Plan Task Force co-chaired each of the five Small Area
Plan Work Groups, and three members of the Comprehensive Plan Task Force participated with the
Greater Southdale District Plan Work Group. Work Group meetings were attended by City staff and
consultants.
Each Work Group conducted a series of internal work sessions (which were opened to the public) as
well as community meetings where members of the public could participate and provide input. These
meetings are documented in the five small area plans and the district plan, which are posted on the
City’s website.

weight and authority of other elements of the Comprehensive Plan.
2015 Visioning
Edina’s Mission and Vision
While work on the first small area plan (Wooddale/Valley View) began in September 2014, an important
early step in developing the 2018 Comprehensive Plan began a month earlier in August of the same year.
That is when the City contracted Future iQ, an international firm specializing in future visioning, to lead
a process through which residents, organizations and businesses would explore:
• What is unique and important about living in Edina?
• Where is there opportunity or need to evolve or change?
• How can we continue to progress to keep the City relevant and attractive to current and future
residents and businesses?
• What is our competitive edge?
Edina Comprehensive Plan
1. Introduction Draft 09-30-19
1-5
The visioning program conducted by Future iQ would continue until May 2015, when the final visioning
document (City of Edina Strategic Vision and Framework) was approved.1
https://www.edinamn.gov/DocumentCenter/View/1629/Strategic-Vision-and-Framework-PDF?bidId=
The City’s mission and vision statements are provided below.
Mission Statement:
“Our mission is to provide effective and valued public services, maintain a sound public
infrastructure, offer premier public facilities and guide the development and redevelopment of
lands, all in a manner that sustains and improves the health and uncommonly high quality of
life enjoyed by our residents and businesses.”
Vision Statement:
“Edina holds a well-earned reputation as a city of choice. It is the model of a successful,
mature, and progressive urban community, that strives to lead in a modern and evolving world.
We maintain our heritage and attractiveness, and afford our residents the highest quality of life,
while actively embracing the future.”
The visioning process conducted by Future iQ included extensive community outreach activities
(focus group meetings, community-wide surveys, think tank meetings, community meetings,
etc.) and demonstrated wide spread community support for the vision and strategic framework.
Eight strategic focus areas identified in City Of Edina Strategic Vision and Framework are listed below.
• Residential Development Mix
• Transportation Options
• Commercial Development Mix
• Live and Work
• Educational Focus
• Population Mix
• Environmental Stewardship
• Regional Leadership
Bridging Edina’s Vision and Comprehensive Planning
With Edina’s vision document already two years old, there was a desire to give community
members an opportunity to revisit City of Edina Strategic Vision and Framework and provide
additional opportunities to define a future vision for the City. It was determined by the Edina
Council that earlier visioning outcomes should be revisited in two workshops in order to
ensure a bridge between the City’s vision and the 2018 Comprehensive Plan Update, prior to
actually launching the comprehensive planning process.
1 Planning studies and the development of plans typically begin with visioning exercises. With a visioning
statement already developed, work on this Comprehensive Plan update (i.e., small area and district
planning and regional planning) began in January 2017 without the customary visioning activities.

Big Ideas Workshop and Mapping Edina’s Big Ideas
The purpose of the first workshop, held April 19, 2017 was to encourage new “Big Ideas” and connect
them to the eight key strategic focus areas cited above with an ultimate goal of propelling Edina toward
its “Nodes and Modes” preferred future. The purpose of the second workshop, held on April 22, was to
determine where and how earlier defined “Big Ideas” would be located on the landscape of the City.
The Big Ideas Workshop began with a review of major conclusions reached in earlier in City of Edina
Strategic Vision and Framework. Participants were asked to rank which major strategic focus areas should
be a priority for innovation in Edina over the next 5 years. Participants ranked Environmental
Stewardship (25%) and Transportation Options (25%) as the top two innovation priority areas, followed
Edina Comprehensive Plan
1. Introduction Draft 09-30-19
1-7
by Education Focus (18%), Commercial Development Mix (11%), Residential Development Mix (9%),
Regional Leadership (6%), Population Mix (4%), and Live and Work (1%).
Next participants were asked to identify Big Ideas under each strategic focus area and then rank them.
The Big Ideas with the most votes, under each focus area, are listed on the following pages.
The Big Ideas that are reported on the following pages are just some of the projects and initiatives that
might be implemented in Edina. It is anticipated that other Big Ideas will emerge; some in response to
needs, threats, and constraints, and others in response to opportunities, new technologies and
innovations. It is not possible to identify all the Big Ideas that will be implemented as time progresses
and as Edina changes over time.
The important “take away” from the Big Ideas workshop sessions was the earlier identification of key
strategic focus areas and the community’s recognition that they are relevant, as corner stones, of
actions that will be taken as the City moves forward…. and that each Big Idea is connected to a larger
strategy that encourages exploration, investigation, customization, fine tuning and refinement, and
ultimately a commitment to implement.

The Mapping Workshop engaged participants in an exercise where they identified important locations
on a map of the City. Three mapping exercises were completed, and each was followed by a discussion
where participants were able to comment on outcomes from the mapping and report on observations.
The three mapping exercises were:
1. Where is important to me in Edina? (I.e., identify nodes)
2. How do I travel to important places? (I.e., identify modes)
3. Where Big Ideas should be implemented? (I.e., where are opportunity sites, where are
opportunities to link Big Ideas, and does this reinforce Edina’s future vision?)
Presented on page 1-13 is a City of Edina aerial base map that shows four quadrants that are defined
by north/south Trunk Highway (TH) 100 and east/west TH 62 (aka Crosstown Highway); Quadrant 1 –
Northwest Edina, Quadrant 2 – Northeast Edina, Quadrant 3 – Southeast Edina, and Quadrant 4
– Southwest Edina.
The map identifies the following physical features that form a framework for considering the
where some of Edina’s Big Ideas could possibly be addressed in the comprehensive plan.
• Six existing small areas (activity centers/nodes):
- 44th/France
- 50th/France
- Grandview
- Wooddale/Valley View
- 70th/Cahill
- Greater Southdale
• Three potential small areas for future consideration:
- Lincoln/169/near Eden Prairie
- Expanded 70th/Cahill
- Pentagon Park
• Parks and Nine Mile Creek
• Golf courses
• Recreation destinations
• Canadian Pacific Rail alignment
• Southwest LRT alignment
• TH 100 and TH 62 with adjacent pedestrian and bicycle paths
• Pedestrian and bicycle lids over TH 100 and TH 62 to re-connect the city’s four
quadrants
• Conceptual parkway (Edina Grand Rounds) alignment that forms a ring around the city
and a ring within each quadrant
In support of the fundamental element of Edina’s future development, existing and potential
future small areas and recreation destinations (nodes) are linked by the parkway system
(pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes).

Comprehensive Planning Begins
With work completed ensuring that Edina’s vision for the future was reinforced and further defined
relative to issues to be addressed, desired directions, and locations identified where capital
improvements should be implemented and land use changes would be supported, work on the small
areas plans could begin.

How to Use this Comprehensive Plan
The City Council and City departments use the Comprehensive Plan to make land use and development
decisions, to initiate studies and develop programs built around the policies outlined in the
Comprehensive Plan, and to establish annual goals, work programs and priorities, including Capital
Improvement Plans. It will be the primary responsibility of the Planning Department to ensure that the
Comprehensive Plan is consulted and its policies followed.
The Planning Commission uses the Comprehensive Plan as the basis for its deliberations and decisions
regarding review of development applications and for its recommendations to City Council. Most

importantly, this Comprehensive Plan provides guidance to those preparing zoning and other
ordinance changes, whether as part of implementation of this Comprehensive Plan or as additional
requests for ordinance changes arise in the future.
Edina’s other advisory commissions should use the Comprehensive Plan to guide their goal-
setting and programs.
It is a Metropolitan Council requirement that the Comprehensive Plan will be shared with
neighboring municipalities, regional and state agencies, educational and health care institutions,
and other public and private entities, as a means of educating and informing them about Edina’s
vision and plan for shaping growth and change.
The Comprehensive plan is intended to help property owners, residents, businesses, and
developers understand the kind of community Edina aspires to be and, in this case, Edina’s
Comprehensive Plan goes further to suggest how equity becomes a foundational component of
creating a more welcoming and complete community.

2. Community Profile
Chapter Highlights
• The City of Edina is expected to continue to grow
in population, households, and jobs.
• Demographic trends, such as an increase in
children and the overall aging of the population,
will shape the future of the city.
• The population is still fairly racially homogenous
and affluent, but is steadily becoming more
diverse, particularly with newer and younger
residents.
• Edina’s population is older than the state overall,
with more than one third of Edina households
including at least one older adult.
• Edina’s median household income is well above
metro and state averages.
• Household sizes are declining overall, but there is
evidence of the appeal of Edina to families with
school aged children, with a large share of married
couple families and parents less likely to be
working outside the home.
• The housing stock continues to diversify over
time, though housing affordability remains a
consistent challenge, especially for first time
homeowners and seniors, due to very high land
values.
• Edina retains its role as a regional employment
destination, building on its centralized location and
established economic base.
Introduction
This chapter of the comprehensive plan provides data
trends and future projections of basic demographic
elements including population, housing, and employment.
The intent is to provide context that will inform both the vision for growth in the community,
and the recommended direction for policy. Historical data are provided where possible to show
how the city has changed over the past few decades and suggest how things may continue to
change in the future.
Planning Context
Since the early days of the community, Edina has been on the forefront of planning for the city’s
growth and change. In 1928, it was the first village in the state to appoint a planning commission.
In 1957, it was the first municipality to hire a full-time planning director. The city’s purview has
covered everything from neighborhood character to major development projects, such as the
nation’s first enclosed regional mall.
Definition: Forecasts
The 2040 population, household, and
employment forecasts for Edina
were derived from regional forecasts
developed by the Metropolitan
Council. The regional forecasting
process considered the region’s
position within the national
economy, focusing on economic
growth and how that drives
population growth.
Once the regional forecasts were
completed, additional modeling was
used to assign growth to specific
communities. This analysis
considered how demographics,
policies, and land availability affect
real estate decisions.
The City of Edina has worked with
the Metropolitan Council to further
refine the initial forecasts, based on
more detailed community
knowledge. The forecasts have been
adjusted since the 2015 System
Statement values based on observed
growth trends and expectations.
Forecasts are intended to represent
expected growth patterns but are
not to be interpreted as goals or
targets for the community to meet.

In terms of more recent planning history, this comprehensive plan updates the city’s 2008
Comprehensive Plan. Since that plan was completed, there have been a number of other plans
that focus on particular topics and inform the development of this comprehensive plan update. As
part of this most recent comprehensive plan update, the city chose to undertake a series of small
area plans for key areas of growth and change throughout the city. These provide additional
detailed guidance for comprehensive plan topics in the areas of the city that are most likely to see
redevelopment and infill.
The following plans and policies have been used to inform the development of this
comprehensive plan update:
• Active Routes to School Comprehensive Plan (2014)
• Vision Edina Community Benchmark Profile, Scenarios, and Engagement Report (2014)
• Vision Edina Strategic Vision and Framework (2015)
• GrandView Development Framework (2012)
• Small Area Plan for the Wooddale-Valley View Neighborhood Node (2015)

Planning Area Designation
Edina is designated as an Urban community in the Metropolitan Council’s Thrive MSP 2040 plan. Figure
2.1 shows the extent of this designation for the city, as well as that of surrounding communities. The
Metropolitan Council uses these designations to guide regional growth and development, establish land
use expectations including overall development densities and patterns, and outline the respective roles
of the Council and individual communities, along with strategies for planning for forecasted growth. As
stated in the regional plan:
Urban communities experienced rapid development during the post-World War II era and
exhibit the transition toward the development stage dominated by the influence of the
automobile. Urban communities are expected to plan for forecasted population and household
growth at average densities of at least 10 units per acre for new development and
redevelopment. In addition, Urban communities are expected to target opportunities for more
intensive development near regional transit investments at densities and in a manner articulated
in the 2040 Transportation Policy Plan.
This designation informs how the city will to grow. This involves determining the type of housing and
employment uses that are appropriate for the community and can accommodate the forecasted growth,
and how this relates to plans for transit and other infrastructure and public services.

Forecasted Growth
Population, household, and employment forecasts are long range projections of expected growth, largely
based on market-driven assumptions. The Metropolitan Council undertakes these for the seven-county
metropolitan area as part of their regional planning mandate. The forecasting process analyzes the
seven-county region’s position within the larger, national economy. The region's business climate and
competitive advantages determine economic and employment levels which, in turn, drive population
growth by attracting people to the Twin Cities. Additional land use modeling locates future population,
households, and employment in specific communities within the region. The model looks at how
demographics, regional policies, and available land affect real estate supply and demand.
Forecasts are meant to be realistic assumptions that can be used to guide investments in infrastructure
and public services. They are not goals, aspirations, or targets. At the regional level, they are used to
forecast resource needs for regional parks, transportation, and water resources, as well as to direct
investments in affordable housing. At the local level, they can also be used to forecast need for capital
improvements, public services, and other public investments to ensure that the community is fiscally
sustainable and maintains a high quality of life.
The Metropolitan Council periodically adjusts forecasts based on new data, to ensure they are as
accurate as possible. The forecasts used in this plan have been modified from Edina’s 2015 System
Statement totals, reflecting new information about development that has occurred since 2015.
Specifically, the near-term development in Edina and several other cities has outpaced initial estimates
due to a robust economy, particularly in terms of market demand for new multifamily housing in
developed communities. The modifications shown here were recommended by Metropolitan Council
staff to ensure that actual population, household, and employment totals would not outpace the
forecasted ones. As Edina is already fully developed, this plan reflects how expected increases in
population, households, and jobs will be accommodated through redevelopment and infill within
designated growth and change areas.
Historical population and household growth trends in Edina have been fairly steady since 1970.
Employment, after surging in earlier years, has followed a similar pattern. The ratio of jobs to population
has remained fairly high, reflecting the role of portions of Edina as a regional employment center. From
2016-2040, population is expected to grow about 23%, households 34%, and employment 7%. This shift
towards residential growth over employment reflects both availability of redevelopment sites and overall
demand for development in the area.

Population and Households
The total population in Edina in 2016 is estimated at around 51,804, according to the US Census. This
reflects an increase of over 8% from 2010. This is a much faster rate of growth than from 2000-2010,
when it only grew about 1%. The total population has increased since 1970. Growth has not been steady
– there were significant increases in the 1970s, 1990s, and 2010s, but little change during the 1980’s and
2000’s. This reflects the fact that recent growth has been happening opportunistically based on market
conditions and the availability of redevelopment and infill sites, within the context of a largely developed
community.
Despite the recent uptick in growth, the city has been outgrown by several cities in the region in the
past 10 years. While the 2030 plan indicated it was the 11th largest city in the Twin Cities metropolitan
area by population, it is now the 16th largest. This is largely a function of land availability and market
conditions, which vary across the region.
Regardless, the city’s population is forecasted to continue to growth through 2040. Compared to
adjacent developed communities, Edina’s population is expected to grow at a higher rate from 2010 to
2040, similar to Eden Prairie. Among other things, this rate reflects estimated growth in Edina since
2010, which has been strong.

Age
The age distribution of Edina residents has distinctive patterns as well. Between 200-2016, there have
been increases in the number of children and youth under 20 and in the middle aged 45-64 cohort. This
points in part to the appeal of Edina to families with school-aged children based on the strength of the
school district. (See the Community Facilities chapter for more discussion on school district planning
and coordination.) While overall trends have pointed to the aging of the population, this is evidence of
the unique appeal of this area to families with young children.

Household Size
Household size is an important factor in determining the expected rate of population growth.
Historically, average household size has been on the decline in the Twin Cities area, primarily because
families are having fewer children than in previous generations. A declining household size has numerous
implications, including the fact that it takes more housing units to house the same sized population, so
the pace of housing unit development may surpass the pace of population growth. Edina’s household size
has declined in recent years, and this is expected to continue.

For the most part, trends in household and population growth from 2000-2016 show a pattern of
declining household size. However, as evidenced by the chart below, the 2000-2010 period was an
exception to the rule for both Edina and Richfield, when population grew faster than households.

Resident Migration
According to the American Community Survey (ACS), as of 2016 around 88.6% of residents in Edina
were living the same house that they were one year previously. Meanwhile, 10.0% were living elsewhere
in the country, and 1.4% were living in another country. The percentage staying in one place has
increased slightly since 2010, when 87% were in the same house after one year – though this may be
within the ACS margin of error. Approximately 10.9% of the overall population of Edina is foreign born,
and 13% speak a language other than English.
Historically, immigrant populations to the country and region have been younger than native born
residents – and more likely to have children. This is reflected in data that shows the median age of Edina
residents by migration type in recent years. It is notable that the median age of recent arrivals from
abroad is nearly half that of people who have lived in the same house for the past year.

Race and Ethnicity
While the majority of the population in Edina is non-Hispanic white, around 86.5% as of 2016, there has
been a steady trend over the past decades towards racial and ethnic diversity. This is consistent with the
changing composition of the region and state. The largest growth in terms of a share of the population
since 2000 has been in the Asian population, which has gone from 3% to 7% of the population. The two
or more races category was added in 2000, so it is not possible to compare that category in previous
years.

Household Type
Household type in Edina has been slowly shifting toward households with children, and away from
families without children and people living alone. This may be a generational change, as empty nesters
move out of their long-time homes, and are replaced by families with young children. The numbers of
both married families with children and unmarried families with children have increased while the
numbers of families without children and persons living alone have decreased.
Source: US Census
Median Income
In 2016, the median household income in Edina was $91,800. Median incomes in Edina are well above
regional and state levels and have been consistently so over time. The only community in the vicinity to
have a potentially higher median income is Eden Prairie.

Housing Units
In 2016, Edina contained about 22,639 housing units, 62% of which were single family and 38% of which
were multi-family. Most homes are owner occupied (72%). The majority of Edina’s housing stock has
remained single family detached, though with a growing percentage of multifamily units. As there is
currently no land in the city planned for single family expansion (new units mostly just replace those that
were already there, resulting in no net gain in units), the multifamily percentage is likely to continue to
grow with future infill development. However, since most of the multifamily units are concentrated in a
relatively small number of larger buildings, a substantial majority of residential land area in the city is
expected to remain as single family detached.

Housing Age
Edina’s housing stock spans around a century of growth, from the earliest developments in the
Morningside area, to current day redevelopment projects. Nearly 60% of the structures in Edina were
built between 1950 and 1979 in a period of rapid suburban expansion in the region. The median year
structures were built is 1968. This diverse range of housing stock gives the community character and
variety. While there are some intact areas with distinct features of a particular era, this has been
increasingly changing over time with renovations and infill development. See the Heritage Preservation
chapter for more discussion on the unique character of historic development patterns in Edina.
Additionally, see the Housing chapter for more discussion on what role existing housing plays in
preserving housing affordability.
Edina has seen an increase in new housing units permitted since 2012. Many of the permitted units are
multifamily housing. This increase has helped keep the city’s median age of a dwelling unit down.
Figure 2.15 shows the age of buildings (including residential and non-residential) citywide. The pattern
on the map shows how the city grew in concentric circles until the 1980s, at which point growth was in
primarily in the form of infill.

Persons Per Household and Bedrooms Per Structure
One method of assessing the current housing stock is to compare the size of households and the size of
housing units. The following graph shows that households with 1-2 members outnumber structures with
a similar number of bedrooms. However, there are fewer 3-4 member households than the quantity of
3-4 bedroom dwelling units. Although it is common for a household to reside in a dwelling where the
number of members does not match the number of bedrooms, the mismatch between the large number
of 1-2 person households and the relative scarcity of 1-2 bedroom dwelling units indicates that
availability or affordability of these housing units may be a concern for some households who desire
such a unit. In 2016, 66% of households in the city were 1-2 member households while about 43% of
units were 0-2 bedroom dwelling units. This gap between household size and number of bedrooms has
decreased 6% since 2000, which may be due to increased construction of 0-2 bedroom housing units or
a decrease in families without children and persons living alone.

Housing Density
Compared to other cities and Hennepin County, Edina has a moderate level of households per acre.
Edina averages 2.1 households per acre, which is higher than the countywide average of 1.36, and
reflects its predominantly single-family residential character. St. Louis Park and Richfield have higher
household per acre densities than Edina due in part to smaller average lot sizes. This calculation
considers all land in city/county limits, not only areas zoned for residential or mixed use purposes.

Tenure and Vacancy
The percentage of owner occupied homes is about 72%. This proportion has been decreasing slightly
since 2000. This trend is a regional one, reflecting the turnover of some properties to rental, and the
construction of new rental units. The 2010 number may also show the effects of the recession, which
suppressed home purchasing activity.
Source: Metropolitan Council Tabulations of ACS and Census Data
Residential vacancy rates have remained fairly low throughout this time, at around 5% in 2016. Current
rental market data suggests it may be even lower than that at the time of this writing.

Length of Residency
Length of residency is important for building community cohesion in a neighborhood and strengthening
community engagement. The longer residents live in a neighborhood or a city, the more opportunity
they have to develop relationships with neighbors and become involved in local organizations. The
largest proportion of homeowners in Edina moved into their current house between 2000 and 2009,
while the largest proportion of renters moved in between 2010 and 2014.

Building Permits
Single family unit construction Edina has been relatively consistent since 2000, averaging around 100 per
year over the past 6 years. However, this does not represent a significant net number of new units,
since typically these new units are replacing teardowns.
There have been several large multifamily developments constructed in Edina since 2012. At the regional
level, high amenity locations located near transit, jobs, and amenities have been the most attractive for
developers. Portions of Edina that meet that description have seen multiple proposals for multifamily
and mixed use development.
Combined, these trends show strength in market demand for both single family and larger multifamily
residential in Edina. Figure 2.23 shows the number of units in permitted projects from 2000-2017.

Building Condition
Figure 2.24 shows the condition of buildings in Edina. This is collected on a multi-year cycle by the City
of Edina. Since not every building is surveyed every year, it may not be completely up to date for any
given structure. Nonetheless, it does give a reasonably good picture of overall conditions.
For the most part, buildings in the city are in average-to-good condition, with just a few scattered
exceptions. As with other patterns, the oldest and most historic areas stand out as exceptional – though
there are many very well-maintained properties throughout.

Housing Values
Median housing values in Edina have increased 171% since 1990, not accounting for inflation (48%
increase in value from 1990 to 2016, adjusting to 2016 dollars). In 2016, the median housing value was
about $424,500, which is at least 20% more than median housing values in neighboring communities.
Historically, Edina has had higher median housing values than neighboring communities, shown below in
Figure 2.27. This reflects the attractiveness of the city to homebuyers, particularly related to school
quality and community amenities.

According to the standard benchmark of affordability, by which a household does not spend more than
30% of its gross income on housing costs, the median household income needed to afford Edina’s
median-priced home in 2016 was about $127,350 per year. As the following graph illustrates, most
householders aged 25-64 can afford a median-priced home in Edina. The median income for
householders age 45-64 is somewhat below that threshold, which may limit housing options or
contribute to housing cost burden among these households. Due to changes in data collection, a finer
level of analysis cannot be obtained to know if certain age groups within these larger categories cannot
afford a median valued home in Edina. The median incomes of both young and senior households in
Edina are well below the $127,350 required to afford a median value housing unit. There has been some
effort to address affordable housing needs in Edina through the construction of affordable units. There
are nearly 400 affordable units in the city for elderly residents, which make up most of the city’s
affordable housing units. See the Housing chapter for additional discussion on this topic.

While median housing values are higher in Edina than surrounding communities, median gross rent is

Housing and Transportation Affordability Index
The Housing and Affordability Index is produced by the Center for Neighborhood Technology and uses
US Census Bureau data to describe costs and sustainability at a neighborhood or city level. As a
benchmark, the Center recommends households spend no more than 45% of their income on housing
and transportation, supporting the 30% housing affordability threshold and budgeting another 15% for
transportation needs.
Average costs in Edina are well above these recommendations. The average Edina household spends
57% of their income on housing and transportation. Edina has higher housing costs than neighboring
communities and the averages for both Hennepin County and the 7 County Metropolitan Area, with
households spending an average of 38% of their income on housing. Average transportation costs for
Edina residents are similar to all other cities and regions compared (18%).

The high housing costs in Edina tend to come from owner occupied housing units. Edina’s median owner
costs are at least $200 more per month than comparable communities. Median rent is still high (second
most expensive city) but is more comparable to other cities, Hennepin County, and the Metropolitan
Area.

Housing Market Conditions
The Star Tribune prepared a housing market analysis for 2016, comparing all communities in the seven
county metro that had 100 or more sales. This index and comparison were based on the average price
per square foot, average number of days on the market, percent of the list price received by the seller,
and the share of all distressed sales (foreclosure and short sale).
Using these metrics, Edina’s housing market is the slowest/coolest compared to neighboring
communities, receiving the lowest index score among communities considered. Richfield has the
“hottest” market both among neighboring communities and metro wide. Edina homes, on average, have
the longest average days on the market and sellers are receiving a lower percentage of their original
asking price than homes and sellers in neighboring communities. All comparable communities and Edina
have selling prices that are 95% or more of the original price and only differ by 1% or 2%.
On the other hand, average price per square foot in Edina has already returned to peak values seen in
2006. In 2016, price per square foot in Edina was $180 (same as 2006). Price per square foot bottomed
out in 2011 at $146 and have been gradually increasing over the past 5 years. Other communities have
not returned to peak values; instead, most cities are seeing values closer to 2003 or 2004 numbers. This
may partially explain Edina’s lower rate of change in average price per square foot compared to
neighboring communities, since the city has already returned to peak values. Additionally, only 2% of
Edina’s housing sales were considered distressed, which is the lowest among comparable communities.

Census Tract Analysis
Table 2.3 includes census tract level data on
housing values, costs, and the affordability gap.
The census tracts in Edina with the lowest
median incomes are located along the borders
of the city: tract 235.01, the north/northwest
corner of the city bordering Hopkins and St.
Louis Park; and tracts 238.02, 240.04, and
240.05 in the southeast corner, bordering
Minneapolis and Richfield. Some of the same
tracts also experience the most housing cost
burden: 240.04, 238.02, and 235.01. 30% of
householders in these tracts experience cost
burden. About 15% of households in these
tracts are severely cost burdened, spending
50% or more of their income on housing.
The tracts with higher percentages of older
homes are located in the northeast corner of
the city, bordering Minneapolis and St. Louis
Park (231 and 236). The greatest number of
new housing units built since 2010 have been
built in the southeast corner of the city
(bordering Richfield) and the northwest
quadrant (north of Highway 62 and west of
Highway 100). Tracts 240.04 and 240.05 also
have the highest percentages of residents over 65. There are a couple of
tracts, also explaining some of the lower income
Almost 20% of owner occupied residents in tract 231 have lived in their homes
years). Tracts 239.01 and 240.03 also have greater proportions of long term residents, with about 16%
of owner households living in their homes since at least 1979. Tract 235.01 has the longest rental
tenure.
Tracts 235.02, 239.01, and 240.05 have had the

Average housing and transportation costs vary dramatically in Edina. Three census tracts in the city
(240.03, 240.04, and 240.05) are below the recommended housing and transportation costs of 45% of
income, and one tract (235.01) is just above this mark at 49%. Most tracts spend between 57% and 66%
of their income on housing and transportation. Two tracts (236 and 239.02) spend an average of 80% of
household income on housing and transportation, which is well above recommended affordability levels.
These two tracts have the highest median home values and the highest median incomes in Edina, but the
gap between the median income and the income needed to affordably own the home is still very wide.

Census tracts in Edina also vary greatly by household size. Tracts 231, 236, 238,01, 239.01, and 239.02
all have 30% or more of their households with four or more people. This indicates a high number of
households with young children. On the other hand, around 60% of the households in tracts 240.04 and
240.05 have just one resident. This is due to the large percentage of multifamily housing in these tracts,
particularly senior housing.

Employment
As with population, total employment in Edina has been on the rise for decades, particularly between
1970 and 2000. There was a dip between 2000 and 2010 related to the recession, but jobs have been
growing again in recent years. The ratio of population to jobs has been fairly consistent over time in
Edina, with approximately one job for every one resident and about two jobs for every city resident in
the 16-64 age range. As a significant number of residents are not in the workforce, this means that the
city is a net importer of workers, functioning as part of a regional job concentration as defined by the
Metropolitan Council. Combined with other cities like Eden Prairie and Bloomington, the southwest
metro is one of the economic hubs of the Twin Cities area.

Employment by industry in Edina and Hennepin County is summarized in Table 2.5. The industries with
the largest employment in Edina are health care and social assistance, administrative and waste services,
retail trade, and finance and insurance. The ones that have been the fastest growing include management
of companies and enterprises, health care and social assistance, and accommodation, and food services.
Industries with recent declines in employment include professional and technical services and
manufacturing. For more information on the implications of these trends, see the Economic
Competitiveness chapter.

In 2016, Edina had one of the lowest labor force participation rates among the comparison cities. Along
with Bloomington and Minnetonka, Edina saw a decline in the labor force participation rate between
2000 and 2016. For Edina, that continued a previous declining trend from 1990-2000. This reflects the
fact that Edina parents with children at home are less likely to work outside the home than those in
other cities. For instance, in Edina the share of children under age 6 with all parents working is 62%,
compared to 74% in the Twin Cities region. For children aged 6-17, the percentages are 63% and 78%,
respectively.

Place of Work and Worker Residency
City residents are impacted by work travel trips whether or not they commute to work, since work-
related trips are a primary contributor to the burden placed on transportation infrastructure. The
Metropolitan Council’s 2010 Travel Behavior Inventory estimates that around 18% trips on the roadway
network are work commute trips. Around 40% of trips are social/recreational, 22% are to school or
within work, and 20% are shopping/errand. Work commute trips tend to be the longest trip type, on
average.
Related to commuting patterns is the job distribution within the city. The heat map below shows
concentrations of employment around the city. The main job concentrations include Greater Southdale
area, the Cahill industrial area near Highway 100, near the intersection of TH 62 with TH 169 in the
western part of the city, and the Grandview area.

Around 75% of Edina residents that commute to work travel to a destination in Hennepin County. Most
of the remainder travel to other metropolitan area counties. The top destination cities are Minneapolis,

Employment Projections
As part of the Thrive MSP 2040 plan, the Metropolitan Council projects future employment figures for
all cities in the seven county region. Between the years 2010 and 2040, the Council projects that total
employment in Edina will increase by about 18%. This is slightly faster than Richfield and St. Louis Park,
but slower than Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Minneapolis, and Minnetonka.
Source: Metropolitan Council
A comparison of projected population and employment changes from 2010 to 2040 shows that
employment is expected to grow at a faster rate than total population for Edina and other nearby cities.
With employment growing, there are potential implications with additional work trips. However, as the
2010 Travel Behavior Inventory noted, telecommuting and working from home are becoming
increasingly common – offsetting some of the need for commuting trips. Additionally, the inventory
shows people increasingly choosing non-single occupant vehicles for travel. Therefore, the full impact of
additional commuting trips may be mitigated by these factors.

Edina: A Community of Learning. Edina has a prized education system of high-quality
public schools. The Community Profile chapter of the Comprehensive Plan recognizes the importance
of extending the benefits of education to the entire community.
The information compiled in this chapter can be a significant educational resource in terms of
understanding the current population, economy, and other socioeconomic data. The City may use this
as a stand-alone community profile, or as background information to inform another project. An
example of a use may be to provide a baseline for community status prior to a planned change.

3. Land Use and Community Design
Chapter Highlights
• The land use vision for the City of Edina will guide
the future distribution, mix, and intensity of uses to
optimize the current and future vitality and livability
of the community.
• The biggest land use changes in the city will be in
targeted areas of change, including those identified
through the small area planning processes. These
places are potential opportunities for shifts in uses
and intensities, supporting larger community goals.
• While much of the city’s land area will not be
targeted for change, it will not remain static or
frozen in time. Continued investments in these
areas are needed to maintain and update aging
buildings and infrastructure, to meet the needs of
the people and businesses that use them.
• Overall community character and livability are
greatly valued in Edina. There will be a continual
need to balance protecting what is valued and
responding to needed and ongoing changes.
• Land use bears a close and vital relationship to
public infrastructure, utilities, and services. The City
will need to plan and invest responsibly in these
systems – both to maintain existing facilities and to
provide new ones in response to changing and
expanding needs. This is addressed in more depth
in other chapters.
• Sustainability is an important value throughout this plan. In terms of land use, it has
implications from the small scale (e.g. how buildings are constructed and maintained) to
citywide (e.g. responsible use of resources, preparing a community to respond to climate
change). This is addressed in more depth in other chapters.
Introduction
The land use element of the comprehensive plan provides not only guidance for land use and
development within the city, but some of the organizing principles for the city itself. The planned and
orderly development of land reflects community values and priorities, in terms of the opportunities it
creates for where people can live, work, and congregate within city limits. It establishes the planned
scale and intensity of neighborhoods and reflects the ability of the community overall to accommodate
growth and change. It also relates to existing and planned infrastructure – including roadways, trails,
transit systems, water and wastewater, parks, and others.
Since a plan to accommodate growth is one of the central functions of this comprehensive plan, this land
use element will focus primarily on how this can be accomplished in a way that is sustainable and
consistent with overall community goals.
Definitions
Design Guidelines provide
guidance for the character, scale,
and built form of development.
Land Use is the purpose for which
land cover is committed, such as
residential, industrial, or open space.
Mixed Use is a land use category
that includes two or more different
land uses, arranged either
horizontally on the same site, or
vertically in the same building.
Zoning is a technique used in land
use planning to divide an area into a
series of zones with defined
characteristics, which are regulated
through city ordinance. Under
Minnesota state statute, zoning must
be consistent with a city’s adopted
comprehensive plan.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Land Use and Community Design Chapter Draft 09-30-19

To be a useful day-to-day decision-making guide, the land use plan must be adaptable to unanticipated
changes and be specific to current conditions and issues in the city. To balance these goals, it will be
necessary to closely monitor and update the land use plan on a regular basis.
It is widely recognized that the appearance and compatibility of a land use with its surroundings
frequently are as important as the use itself. Community design guidelines are defined by this plan to
guide the built and natural form of the city to foster and sustain livability and sense of place. Where the
land use plan addresses specific areas and combinations of land uses, community design addresses the
way these land uses are sited and designed.
The community design component of this chapter looks at existing and planned land uses from the
perspective of their current natural, designed, or built character. It suggests design strategies for
protecting or enhancing this character or allowing for appropriate transitions.
Forecasted Growth
Addressing and accommodating forecasted growth in the City of Edina is a core function of the
comprehensive plan. As Edina is already fully developed, this land use plan demonstrates how expected
increases in population, households, and jobs can be accommodated through redevelopment and infill
within designated change areas.
Table 3.1 and Figure 3.1 show past patterns and future projections of growth in Edina. Population and
household growth rates in Edina were relatively steady between 1970 and 2010, though they have
increased since then. Employment, after surging in earlier years, has followed a similar pattern. The ratio
of jobs to population has remained high, reflecting the role of portions of Edina as a regional
employment center. The overall rate of change has increased since 2010, due to many new multifamily
residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects.
The forecasts included in this chapter were developed by the Metropolitan Council, indicating the city’s
expected share of market-driven growth in the region. These forecasts are modified versions of those in
Edina’s original 2015 System Statement, adjusting for higher-than-expected growth rates in Edina over
the past few years. Metropolitan Council forecasts at the local and regional level are adjusted as needed,
to reflect new information and market changes. The current forecasts reflect mutual agreement
between the Metropolitan Council and Edina regarding implications of market-driven growth trends.
The forecasts are derived from local and regional factors, including past housing and job trends and the
city’s expected share of projected regional growth. Between 2020 and 2040, the population is projected
to increase by 16% or 8,600. Households are expected to increase by 24% or 5,800. Jobs are expected
to increase by 8% or 4,300. The faster rates of population and household growth relative to
employment reflect the anticipated transition of primarily commercial areas into residential-commercial
mixed-use districts. These forecasts are based on several assumptions, including overall economic
climate, site availability, and market conditions. The actual counts may be lower or higher than these
estimates.

Community Designation
Community designation is a typology used by the
Metropolitan Council to categorize cities by
geography and development patterns. Edina is
designated as an Urban community in the
Metropolitan Council’s Thrive MSP 2040 plan.
Figure 3.2 shows the extent of this designation
for the city, as well as that of surrounding
communities. These designations are largely a
function of when and how communities were
developed.
The Metropolitan Council uses these
designations to guide regional growth and
development, establish land use expectations
including overall development densities and
patterns, and outline the respective roles of the
Council and individual communities, along with
strategies for planning for forecasted growth.
This designation has implications for how Edina plans for growth, density, and change. This includes a
particular focus on guiding development around existing and planned transit.
Metropolitan Council Guidance
In Thrive MSP 2040, the Metropolitan Council
states: “Urban communities experienced rapid
development during the post-World War II era,
and exhibit the transition toward the development
stage dominated by the influence of the
automobile. Urban communities are expected to
plan for forecasted population and household
growth at average densities of at least 10 units per
acre for new development and redevelopment. In
addition, Urban communities are expected to
target opportunities for more intensive
development near regional transit investments at
densities and in a manner articulated in the 2040
Transportation Policy Plan.”
Edina: A Community of Learning. Edina has a prized education system of high-quality
public schools. The Land Use chapter of the Comprehensive Plan recognizes the importance of
extending the benefits of education to the entire community.
The development review process is often the place where the public comes most into contact with
land use guidance at the city level. Educational elements to help inform the development review
process can both build public knowledge and improve process outcomes.

Trends and Challenges
Strategic redevelopment and reinvestment. Growth of population and jobs helps keep Edina a
vibrant, healthy, and attractive place to live and work. However, as a fully developed city, Edina will
accommodate growth via the reuse of existing properties. Future development plans must balance
market feasibility and responsiveness with overall perceived community benefits. Plans for land use
changes should be strategic, particularly in regard to improving access to transportation networks and
providing benefits to the community.
Preserving existing residential character. High land prices and scarcity of available land within the
city have resulted in a sharp increase in single-family home redevelopment. New housing is often
significantly larger than existing adjacent housing, particularly in small-lot neighborhoods, and can appear
to visually overwhelm these homes, block views or cast shadows on them. There has been considerable
public discussion about the appropriate massing, height and proportions of architectural elements in
established neighborhoods. How can the City balance the desire of some residents for larger homes
with state-of-the-art features and developers seeking to offer housing units that appeal to today’s
market, with the interests of neighbors who object to the size and scale of some new construction?
Adding walkability and bikeability. Much of Edina was developed during post-WWII decades, when
auto-oriented suburbs did not prioritize accommodating pedestrians and bicycles. A transportation
network that allows for additional transit and non-motorized travel options increases the movement
capacity of the existing public right-of-way and capitalizes on resident needs for more active lifestyles.
Developing a complete transportation network will take time and effort and should fit into a well-
planned, incremental transportation network.
Changing needs of commercial and industrial uses. The useful life of commercial and industrial
buildings tends to be significantly shorter than residential buildings, and many of Edina’s buildings are
aging and potentially obsolete, at least based on their originally intended use. Buildings will need to be
renovated, repurposed, or replaced to reflect current and future needs, including a much different
model for retail than in the past, and increased interest in mixed-use/live-work scenarios. Vision Edina
surveyed respondents on the question of the residential development mix in the city, and the need for
options to live near where people work. Around 37% expressed a stronger preference for mixed use
and diverse residential options, as opposed to a single-family home focus. Around 52% had a stronger
preference for “live and work local” options, in contrast to reliance on commuting elsewhere.
Demographic changes. A dominant trend, both locally and nationally, is the overall aging of the
population. This has a host of implications for land use, including changes in the type of housing needed,
goods and services demanded, and reliance on non-auto transportation options. Additionally, the Vision
Edina community engagement process found that both younger (those under 30) and older (those over
60) participants were equally in support of more housing options, in contrast to a single-family housing
focus.
Expanding transportation options. In addition to walkability and bikeability at the neighborhood
level, there is increased interest in providing access to multiple modes of transportation. This has
implications for land use, in terms of locating appropriate housing units and jobs within safe and
comfortable walking and bicycling distances of transit stops.

Existing Land Use and Conditions
Overview
The existing land uses in the City of Edina provide a view into the character of the community, as well as
the starting place for planning future growth and change. A substantial majority of the land area is
expected to continue in its current use through 2040, with growth focused in specific defined areas
discussed later in the chapter.
This section covers current land use and conditions. This includes the existing land use map and
acreages, property value (market value and land/value ratio), building age and condition, and definitions
of existing land use categories.
Land Use Map
Figure 3.3 shows the existing land uses in the City of Edina, and Table 3.2 shows the percentage of
existing land use by category as of 2016, compared with 2005 data from the previous comprehensive
plan. Comparing the two years shows a decline in commercial, industrial, and institutional, and a rise in
mixed use, parks, and multifamily housing.
Over half of the land in the city (53%) is single family detached residential, with the next largest
proportion taken by parks (10%). Golf courses are called out as a separate category, so the parks
number is lower than an overall calculation of open space in the city. Commercial, industrial, and higher
density residential uses are clustered in specific areas, typically in defined nodes and districts, as well as
along some major corridors. Consistent with the overall regional approach to mapping land use, existing
land use calculations in this plan do not distinguish between local roads and adjacent uses. This is
different than the parcel-based approach for future land use shown later in the chapter.

Changes Since 2008 Plan
Since the City of Edina is fully developed, changes in existing land use have been incremental based on
redevelopment, with a shift towards more multifamily and mixed use within potential areas of change, as
shown on Figure 3.11. In the interim since the adoption of the previous comprehensive plan in 2008,
there also have been changes to the land use policy and regulatory guidance for the city. These changes
include:
• Comprehensive plan amendments to add more detailed guidance for land use density by
future land use category.
• Comprehensive plan amendments to provide development guidelines for planned unit
development or other larger projects.
• Zoning changes at the individual site level to support new development projects,
particularly mixed use.
Existing Land Use Categories
Figure 3.3 illustrates the pattern of existing land use in Edina as of 2016. The categories on the map are
described as follows:
Single-Family Residential
Single-Family Detached. Residential neighborhoods are the most extensive land use within the city in
terms of total land area, and single family detached housing is the largest component of that.
Neighborhood character varies based on era of construction, scale of development, and landscape
influences. Although there is significant variation, the most common residential type consists of post-
WWII contemporary single-family homes on wooded lots along curvilinear streets.
Multifamily Residential
Single-Family Attached. This land use consists of residential units with common walls, where each
unit has direct exterior access. In Edina the most common building types are townhouses and duplexes
(two-family dwellings). Townhouses tend to be clustered close to highway or major road corridors,
while duplexes are often found in narrow strips along major thoroughfares such as Vernon and France
Avenues, as a kind of buffer for adjacent single-family detached housing.
Multifamily. This land use is defined by the multiple-unit building type where each individual unit does
not have direct ground floor access to the outside. Multifamily developments are concentrated primarily
along the main traffic arteries and are generally located toward the edges of the city, often in proximity
to retail business establishments. Concentrations of multifamily development are found along York
Avenue, France Avenue, Vernon Avenue, Lincoln Drive, and Cahill Road.
Commercial
Retail and Other Commercial. An important part of Edina’s identity is its status as a regional
commercial and employment center. The Edina marketplace is dominated by high-end retail, medical,
real estate, and banking services, making it a unique destination within the metro area. The city’s
demographics, in terms of incomes, match this business market. Retail areas can be defined based on
their market positions: regional, community, and neighborhood. Edina’s regional retail district is the
Greater Southdale area. Community-level districts include 50th& France and Grandview, although they
contain some regional destinations Neighborhood shopping districts, including the commercial nodes at
Valley View and Wooddale and West 70th and Cahill, mainly serve surrounding neighborhoods with
convenience shopping and services. Several other neighborhoods have small commercial nodes providing
convenience goods and services. The larger concentrations of this land use are generally located toward
the edges of the city, rather than in the center.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Land Use and Community Design Chapter Draft 09-30-19
3-11
Office. Long known as a retail center for the southwest metro area, Edina also contains office space in
its four business and industrial areas, occupants of which include several large corporations, as covered
in the Economic Competitiveness Chapter. This land use is concentrated along such major
thoroughfares as the western sides of France Avenue and TH 100 and the northern side of West 66th
Street.
Mixed-use
Mixed-use Residential. This land use consists of areas with a mix of uses including residential units
and commercial. In its 2016 data, the Metropolitan Council recognizes around 17 acres of this land use
in the city, primarily in the Southdale area. While a small percentage of overall uses, this has been
growing.
Mixed-use Industrial. This land use includes a mixture of industrial uses that may include office and
retail but no residential units. The mixed-use industrial land use is found primarily in the Cahill industrial
area west of TH 100 and along the south side of West 77th Street in the Pentagon Park area.
Mixed-use Commercial and Other. This land use category contains nonresidential uses exclusively.
There are around 51 acres of this in Edina, primarily in the Southdale area and north of Highway 62 on
the city’s western border.
Other Land Uses
Industrial and Utility. Industrial uses are concentrated near areas with historically lower land prices
and multimodal transportation options. Currently, the two areas in the city that meet these
qualifications are the Cahill area west of TH 100 and south of West 70th Street, the greater Pentagon
Park area, and a smaller concentration along TH 169 as it borders Eden Prairie in the extreme
southwest corner of the city. It is expected that lower intensity industrial uses in these areas may
transition to other uses in the future.
Institutional. Institutional land uses are located through the city. They are occupied by large public and
private service providers such as public safety (police, fire), essential services (public works), county
libraries, hospitals, and other medical care facilities. They also include schools; social, cultural, and
educational establishments; and cemeteries.
Parks and Recreation. Edina has an extensive public park system that serves the community and area
residents. Parklands include a golf course; biking and walking trails; various forms of recreational and
athletic facilities, playgrounds and playing fields; and natural open space. Lands devoted to parks and
recreation constitute the second highest percentage of all land use acreages. Some of the land included
as park and recreational is within the Minnehaha and Nine Mile Creek floodplains, as well as other
floodplains and stormwater drainage areas.
Golf Course. Edina has four major golf courses located in these public parks and private country clubs:
Braemar, Interlachen, and Edina. They constitute around 666 acres of the city’s land area.
Major Highway. The city is bisected by two regional arteries, TH 62 and TH 100, which divide the city
into geographic quadrants. In addition, two more highways, I-494 and TH 169, border the city or pass
near its boundaries. These limited access roads allow for convenient access to points outside the city or
to destinations within the city for residents, workers, and visitors. The acreage listed for this land use
does not include local roads.
Railway. The Canadian Pacific Railway maintains a rail line that runs north-south through the city. The
rail line, sometimes referred to as the Dan Patch or Soo Line, contains about four miles of track in the
city and runs roughly parallel to TH 100, west of that highway.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Land Use and Community Design Chapter Draft 09-30-19
3-12
Undeveloped. Land categorized as “undeveloped” in the city contains protected and non-protected
wetlands, steep slopes, and land not clearly used for any other categorized land use.
Open Water. Nine Mile and Minnehaha Creeks provide a natural drainage system for the city’s land.
Numerous lakes are both independent and linked to the creeks.
Property Value
Assessed property value is an important determinant of how market forces, property condition, and
community context contribute to the perceived value of a property. This section is included to provide
an overview of current conditions in Edina, as well as some implications.
Figure 3.4 shows estimated market value per acre. Property values in Edina tend to be among the
highest in the region, reflecting the desirable nature of the community. In Edina, the area with the most
consistently high values per acre is the Country Club District, a designated historic district on the
National Register of Historic Places. (See Chapter 13 Heritage Preservation for more information on
designated historic resources.) Property values are more variable (though still fairly high) in the western
neighborhoods. While high values may mean that property owners are able to keep their investments,
they may also make it more challenging to maintain affordability.
High land values in particular may make certain areas more attractive for redevelopment, particularly
when the building value is relatively low in comparison. For areas where the value of the land is fairly
high relative to the building value, it may be attractive to either renovate or expand the building, or to
redevelop the site entirely. This is not always allowed under ordinance or encouraged by policy,
although either may be modified by the City Council in response to changing conditions or
opportunities. An example of this situation could be a location where land values may make it
economically feasible to develop at a scale beyond what is allowed under city policy and regulation.
Figure 3.5 shows the ratio of land value to total value for a property. A substantial amount of the land
in Edina has land values that are more than half of the total value. This suggests that the underlying
property is a very strong contributor to the value – which is consistent with much of what is known
about Edina from other sources. In such circumstances, there may be market incentive to further invest
in the property through expansion or redevelopment.
These figures show potential change areas, which are guided for growth and redevelopment in
accordance with small area plans and covered later in the chapter. Properties within these change areas
with relatively high land-to-value ratios may be targets for redevelopment. One example of a potential
change area, based on these maps, could be the Cahill industrial area.

Building Age and Condition
Building age and condition are contributing factors when determining future redevelopment potential.
All other things being equal, older and poorer condition buildings may be more viable redevelopment
opportunities than those that are newer and better condition. There are exceptions to this, particularly
in the case of protected historic properties. Additionally, there may be opportunities to reinvest in the
property, rather than to change use or scale.
Figure 3.6 shows the age of the buildings in Edina. Starting as a largely rural farm community on the
outskirts of the Twin Cities region in the early 1900’s, Edina evolved rapidly into a developing suburb,
with its own commercial and employment centers. Growth spread outwards from the area closest to
Minneapolis, with the full extent of the existing city limits mostly developed by the 1980’s. Land use
patterns reflect planned growth areas, largely separated by use and intensity, though there have been
more mixed-uses in recent years.
It’s notable that there is also a sprinkling of newer housing in some of the oldest neighborhoods. This
reflects new construction, either on infill sites or replacement of existing housing stock. Building permit
data shows this has continued in recent years at a moderate pace.
Figure 3.7 shows the condition of buildings in Edina. This is collected on a multi-year cycle by the City
of Edina. Since not every building is surveyed every year, it may not be completely up-to-date for any
given structure. Since it is based primarily on an external assessment of building appearance, it may not
reflect the condition of interiors or building systems. Due to these limitations, additional investigation
may be needed at the individual property level to more completely assess a building’s condition.
For the most part, buildings in the city are in average-to-good condition, with just a few scattered
exceptions. As with other patterns, the oldest and most historic areas stand out as exceptional.
However, there are many well-maintained properties throughout the city.

Residential Density
Since Edina is a fully developed community with no room to expand its boundaries, increased residential
density is needed to accommodate new growth within the city. Areas with concentrations of residential
density are beneficial in various other ways. They:
• provide a customer and workforce base for commercial districts
• support the viability of alternative transportation modes such as transit, car share, micro transit,
and nonmotorized
• generate activity and interactions that support community placemaking
• more efficiently use existing infrastructure and public service capacity
• protect undeveloped areas in the region from encroaching outward development
• create additional tax base to take some of the burden off single family housing.
Denser areas may also generate higher traffic volumes, increase demands for public services, and create
environmental consequences. One purpose of this plan is to anticipate those effects, and to plan for
improvements and investments that reduce or mitigate impacts. Impacts addressed in the
comprehensive plan include, but are not limited to:
• Multimodal transportation needs (Transportation Chapter)
• Water supply, sanitary sewer, and stormwater needs (Water Resources Chapter)
• Parks and trails (Parks, Open Space, and Natural Resources Chapter)
• Environmental impacts (Energy and Environment Chapter)
• Community service and facility needs (Community Services and Facilities Chapter)
Economic development opportunities (Economic Competitiveness Chapter)Residential density in Edina
is measured and regulated in terms of total dwelling units per acre, consistent with regional standards.
What a building of a certain density will look like is not always intuitive. Due to variations in unit size,
building layout, and site design, two buildings with the same number of units per acre can appear very
different from one another in terms of height, bulk, and character. While it is useful to allocate growth
in terms of the number of units that can be placed on a site, units per acre should not be the only
measure used to determine whether a certain development is appropriate for a site. Additionally,
variations in unit size impact units per acre calculations. An example could be small units for senior
housing or micro units.
Figure 3.8 shows the distribution of housing unit density across the city, and Figure 3.9 shows
population density. Since this is based on 2010 data, it does not show development that has been
constructed and occupied since then. Housing and population densities follow similar patterns to overall
land uses. Almost all the single-family areas average less than five units per gross acre, with higher
densities in multifamily and mixed-use areas. The older neighborhoods along the eastern side of Edina
are slightly higher density than other single-family neighborhoods, reflecting smaller lots and smaller
buildings.

Net residential density is used to determine how dense residential areas are within a community. For
the purposes of utility planning, this is an indicator of whether a development pattern is compact enough
to be efficiently served. For the purposes of transportation planning, it is an indicator of where
development is dense enough to support alternative travel modes such as transit.
Net residential density is determined by subtracting out undevelopable portions of residential land,
including wetlands and water bodies, public parks and open space, major road right-of-way, and other
areas protected from development by local ordinances. Since Edina is a fully developed community,
undevelopable acres account for a fairly small percentage of residential parcels, since most of those
areas have either been modified or converted to permanent open space. Table 3.4 shows net
residential density in Edina.

Potential Change Areas
The Comprehensive Plan functions as a long-range tool that anticipates where growth in populations,
households, and jobs will be incorporated in the city.
As a fully developed city, it is expected that most of the land in Edina will maintain its current land use,
scale, and intensity. Where there are single-family homes, they will remain single family homes. Greater
density may occur in other areas. Appropriate transitions will need to be implemented for development
in areas that abut neighborhoods with single-family homes.
No area will be completely static. Due to the city’s aging building stock and changing needs of residents
and businesses, continued investments will be required for rehabilitation, expansion, and replacement of
existing structures. The number of residents and employees within these areas is expected to remain
approximately the same.
Other areas of the city have capacity to accommodate new growth in the form of housing units and job-
generating uses. These are places where infrastructure capacity to support new growth is already
relatively strong. The Greater Southdale District is the largest of these areas and is subsequently
expected to accommodate a sizeable percentage of citywide growth.
The City of Edina 2008 comprehensive plan identified “potential areas of change” as shown on Figure
3.10. These were places where change was most likely to occur. A major recommendation following up
on this designation was to complete small area plans for “specific neighborhoods, districts, or potential
areas of change in the community” to provide more specific guidance for these areas.
Working with community-based stakeholder groups and through extensive public engagement, the City
has undertaken and completed plans for the following areas. The study areas are shown on Figure
3.11, with the boundaries that were established for the plans.
• GrandView Development Framework (2012)
• Small Area Plan for the Wooddale-Valley View Neighborhood Node (2015)
• Greater Southdale District Plan (2018)
• Small Area Plan for the City of Edina’s 44th & France Neighborhood Node (2018)
• Small Area Plan for the City of Edina’s 70th & Cahill Neighborhood Node (2018)
• Small Area Plan for the City of Edina’s 50th & France District (2019)
These City Council adopted small area plans are incorporated into the comprehensive plan by
reference. Recommendations from the plans for land use guidance and other elements has been
incorporated onto the future land use map and throughout the comprehensive plan.
The Edina Big Ideas process identified three potential small areas for future consideration, including
Lincoln/169/Eden Prairie, expanded 70th & Cahill, and Pentagon Park. The 2008 plan also showed a
portion of North France Avenue, which may be potentially impacted by the future E Line Rapid Bus
project. The City will continue to monitor these areas for growth potential, and there may be additional
studies in the future.

Future Land Use
Land Use Plan
The future land use plan is the guide for the allowed type and intensity of development citywide. It does
not provide the full level of detail shown in the zoning code – rather, it is overarching guidance for the
patterns, to ensure decisions made through the city’s regulatory and enforcement process are
consistent with a comprehensive approach and strategy.
As a developed community, the future land use plan does not tend to change dramatically from year to
year. The boundaries of Edina are not expected to be altered and many of the overall patterns have
been established for decades. Despite this, the city has capacity to accommodate growth and change
through the redevelopment and renewal of sites in targeted areas.
Figure 3.12 shows the planned land use for all property within Edina. Table 3.5 summarizes the
planned land uses by category shown on the map. The planned future land uses shown on this map
reflect previous community planning efforts as well as desired updates identified as part of the 2018
Comprehensive Plan Update process. The following section provides definitions of the future land use
categories shown. By way of comparison, the table also includes the range of housing units per acre for
land uses that include residential.

Future Land Use Categories
The categories in Table 3.6 apply to the Future Land Use Plan. Land use categories are broader and
more long-term in scope than zoning districts. The land use plan and the zoning ordinance should be
consistent with one another but not necessarily identical. Each land use category may be implemented
through more than one zoning district, allowing for differences in building height, bulk and coverage in
different areas of the city. Some revisions to existing zoning districts or creation of new districts may be
needed as part of the implementation of the land use plan.
Land in cities is categorized first by how it is used, and secondarily by the scale and intensity of that use.
For residential uses, density is defined in terms of dwelling units per net acre (exclusive of major road
rights-of-way and public lands). For nonresidential and mixed-uses, intensity is typically defined in terms
of floor-to-area ratio, or FAR, which refers to the ratio of a building’s total floor area to the size of its
lot. Thus, a maximum FAR of 1.0 could allow for a two-story building covering 50% of the lot, a three-
story building on one-third of the lot, and so on. FAR limits for uses are regulated through the City’s
zoning code. Building heights are not specified in the table because height will vary within and between
categories, based on neighborhood context, infrastructure, and community design goals. The small area
plans incorporated by reference here provide more detailed information on height and density guidance.
The “Development Guidelines" in the table below are intended to highlight important design
considerations for each land use category but are not regulatory in nature. The maximum densities given
may not be achievable on all development sites, and other factors besides comprehensive plan guidelines
are used to determine the appropriate scale and density of development on a site.
The density ranges shown in this plan are consistent with those developed in the small area planning
process for the designated areas of change.

Allocating Growth and Density
The potential change areas on Figure 3.11 are the primary areas intended to accommodate the
forecasted growth of housing units and employment uses through 2040. In addition to identifying
potential developable areas, there needs to be guidance to determine an acceptable range of residential
density within areas, based on consistency with city policy and ordinances. Adequate density ranges are
necessary to show the ability to accommodate all forecasted growth, as well as to strengthen the city’s
tax base, support regular transit service, and ensure efficient use of limited land.
Table 3.7 details the acreages within the change areas. It does not include acres that are considered
permanently non-developable, such as right of way, though it does include occupied development sites
which may redevelop in the future. Note that the redevelopment areas are a subset of the overall future
land use designations, so these totals are different than the overall future land use categories.

Based on the density ranges shown on the future land use map, Table 3.8 shows the range of
residential units per acre that are expected to be added through new development and redevelopment.
The actual range of densities may vary based on specifics of propose development projects and the site.
These ranges will be used to calculate land needs for new development and redevelopment. For the
purposes of allocating growth at the city level, the calculations below aggregate the total acres available
for development across all change areas. The small area plans incorporated by reference provide more
specific guidance as to the allocation of growth within those areas.

Correspondingly, measures of jobs per acre can be used to calculate estimated employment intensity
and to determine land needed to accommodate forecasted job growth. Using observed information
about typical job density ranges and the city’s employment projections, an estimate of jobs/acre can be
developed to project need for additional commercial and industrial land. Table 3.9 summarizes these
ranges.

Estimated Land Requirements
Based on the above future land use plan and expected density ranges, estimated residential and
commercial land use requirements have been calculated. The purpose is to help Edina plan for and
accommodate growth in population, households, and employment. Residential calculations are detailed
in Table 3.10 and commercial calculations are detailed in Table 3.11.
Since this is a fully developed community, development will take place on sites that already have some
existing use. It is assumed that there will be no net loss of housing units or jobs with the construction of

infill development. This is possible, particularly with infill development of sites with a very low
population or job count, and/or a significant amount of land dedicated to uses such as surface parking.
Residential
Table 3.9 estimates residential acres needed for forecasted growth through 2040. Based on the
assumptions in this plan, accommodating the planned growth in population and households in Edina will
require 83-244 acres of land. This assumes that all projected growth will be accommodated within the
designated change areas, and the percentage of units will be distributed roughly based on the total
acreage currently present for residential and mixed-use land use types. It also assumes no loss of
existing residential units, so actual development may need to be higher if any units are displaced in the
process.
There are approximately 725 total acres of residential or mixed-use land in these change areas. Between
11% to 33% of that total may be impacted by development by 2040.

Commercial/Industrial
Based on similar assumptions, Edina will need 79-99 acres of land for commercial/industrial uses. This
assumes no net loss of existing jobs in these areas, so the actual totals may be higher if there is a
redevelopment of sites that removes jobs. Additionally, it is possible that the density range for jobs may
be higher or lower in some cases, depending on the scale and intensity of the development and whether
it is a mixed-use.
The total acres of commercial or mixed-use land in these change areas is around 571 acres, so this
estimates that between 14% to 17% of that total will be impacted by commercial/industrial development
by 2040.

Staged Development and Redevelopment
Tables 3.12 and 3.13 show the staging of development within the change areas in terms of units and
net acres. Given the fully developed character of the city, the future land use plan does not include a
specific schedule for staging or phasing of redevelopment. Public utilities and services have already been
extended to all parts of the city, so there is no need to show staging for extension of infrastructure.
Furthermore, the water supply, local water management, and wastewater plans demonstrate that
adequate capacity will be available by 2040, and at interim stages, to serve the needs of all forecasted
growth within the city as identified in the comprehensive plan. However, there may be specific areas of
the city where infrastructure capacity needs to be expanded to meet the needs of new development.
The Public Works Department and Engineering Department will study needs for service capacity
improvements throughout the city on an as-needed basis.
Instead, the purpose of this staging plan is to show that adequate land is available to accommodate all
forecasted growth within the city. The numbers in the chart below are based on development at
minimum densities, and with no mixing of uses on individual sites, thereby identifying the potential
maximum amount of land needed. For land use categories where there are different ranges depending
on the specific area (such as Neighborhood Node and Mixed-use Center), the lowest number is used to
calculate the capacity. These calculations show that the city has capacity to accommodate forecasted
growth through 2040, without assuming maximum buildout of all sites. This does not mean, however,
that this scale of development is necessarily preferable. As demonstrated in Tables 3.10 and 3.11, the
amount of land developed could be significantly less if growth is accommodated in higher density
projects.

The Transportation Chapter provides direction for improvements to the multimodal transportation
network to address the needs of planned growth for the city – including bicycle, pedestrian, roadway,
and transit modes. While improvements are planned citywide, the focus is around increased travel needs
in and around the planned growth areas, particularly the Greater Southdale District. See that chapter for
more information on potential planned projects and general policy guidance.
The Water Chapter provides direction for improvements to the sanitary sewer, stormwater, and water
supply systems needed to address planned growth. While improvements are planned citywide, the focus
will be on planned growth areas, particularly the Greater Southdale District. Presently, the sewer and
water supply systems in that area of the city have the greatest capacity for additional users, supporting
the city’s overall land use plan for growth in that area. See that chapter for more information on
potential planned projects and general policy guidance, including how the increased demand for
stormwater treatment will be managed in a fully developed community.

Community Design Guidelines
In order for Edina to remain economically competitive, attractive to residents, businesses, and visitors,
and sustainable, the community must be more than functionally responsive. Edina must also be beautiful,
vibrant, safe, inclusive, and promote active living. The principles and guidelines in this chapter are
intended to help the City achieve this vision by focusing on the design of the built environment and the
natural environment. The community design principles apply to both City actions and private sector
development. The City is responsible for designing, maintaining and improving its streets, parks, public
buildings and other public spaces. The private sector is encouraged to design buildings, structures and
landscape features that complement and support the public realm and fit within the context of the
surrounding neighborhoods or districts.
This section provides principles and guidelines for buildings, site design, and interconnecting spaces. The
2008 comprehensive plan also included guidance for citywide movement patterns and public spaces. This
has subsequently been replaced by the Living Streets Plan (2015). Living streets balance the needs of
motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians and transit riders in ways that promote safety and convenience,
enhance community identity, create economic vitality, improve environmental sustainability, and provide
meaningful opportunities for active living and better health. The Living Streets Plan defines Edina's vision
for living streets and addresses how the vision is implemented by providing information on street design,
traffic calming, bike facilities, landscaping and lighting, as well as best practices for community
engagement during the design process. See the Transportation Chapter for additional information on
how the Living Streets Plan is incorporated in the comprehensive plan.
As a largely developed city, Edina’s future growth will be built on infill and redevelopment sites and will
need to fit in, improving the character of surrounding areas. The small area plans provide more detailed
guidance for specific redevelopment areas of the city. The following overall principles, focused primarily
on aesthetic issues, provide general guidance when redevelopment occurs.
Principles
1. Design buildings with an interesting and varied
pedestrian-scaled street frontage, as expressed
through building massing, façade articulation,
materials, and details.
2. Recognize that diverse architectural styles can
be employed to achieve city-building goals.
3. -Position buildings to fit with their existing
and/or planned context by facing and
complementing adjacent streets, parks and
open spaces.
4. Locate and orient vehicle parking, vehicular
access, service areas and utilities to minimize
their visual impact on the property and on
adjacent/surrounding properties, without
compromising the safety and attractiveness of
adjacent streets, parks, and open spaces.
5. Regulate scale, massing, and height to provide
complementary transitions to adjacent sites
and nearby neighborhoods and areas.
Buildings should have an interesting and varied
pedestrian-scaled street frontage, with parking
located to the rear when possible.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Land Use and Community Design Chapter Draft 09-30-19
3-41
Guidelines: Low-Density Design (Residential)
1. Control the scale and massing of infill housing to make it reasonably compatible
with established residences. Recent zoning changes
have partially addressed this issue. Future zoning changes
should refer to and consider the small area plans
discussed earlier in this chapter. Other techniques that
may be considered include:
• a graduated scale, or floor area ratio that relates
building size to lot size;
• an impervious surface maximum to ensure that a
reasonable percentage of each lot remains as green
space, for aesthetics and stormwater management;
• design standards that guide the stepping back of
building mass and height from adjacent residential
buildings and parks.
2. Building and garage placement.
Many neighborhoods and individual blocks have an
established pattern of building placement, spacing,
landscape treatments, front yard setbacks and
garage placement that combine to convey a
particular neighborhood character. For
example, most garages in the city’s older
traditional neighborhoods are detached and
located within the rear yard. While new
construction is likely to vary from this pattern,
some limits on the degree of variation may be
appropriate in areas such as historic districts.
For example, the following guidelines should
be considered:
• The width of front-loaded garages is
limited so that they occupy no more than
a defined percentage of the front façade;
• Driveway width at the curb is limited;
• Front-loaded garages may be required to meet the same setback as the rest of the front
façade.
3. Integration of multi-unit housing into
transitional areas.
In the past, duplexes were located along many
major thoroughfares in Edina as a kind of buffer
or transition to the adjacent single-family
housing. Today this housing type is in need of
updating or replacement in many locations, and
high land and redevelopment costs create
pressure for higher-density housing types.
Townhouse complexes have been constructed in
locations such as north France Avenue. The
challenge is that in many locations the duplexes
Infill housing can be scaled to be
compatible with the neighborhood
context.
Parking located to the rear of a property creates
a more pedestrian friendly street frontage.
Multifamily housing can be scaled to be
compatible with lower density neighborhoods.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Land Use and Community Design Chapter Draft 09-30-19

are only one lot deep, which makes it difficult to provide an adequate transition to single-family
scale. The following sections broadly address the issue of integrating multi-unit housing into
lower-density, primarily single-family neighborhood transitional areas.
4. Single-family characteristics. Attached and
multifamily housing should emulate single-family
housing in its basic architectural elements – pitched
roofs, articulated facades, visible entrances, porches
or balconies. Taller buildings should step down to
provide a height transition to existing adjacent
residential buildings.
5. Level of formality. Design the front and back
facades with appropriate levels of formality. The
front, as the more public side of the house, will
receive the more formal treatment, with the main
entrance, porch or steps and landscaping, while
trash/recycling storage, play equipment and outdoor
storage should be located in the back.
6. Parking to the rear. Where rear-loaded or
detached garages predominate, parking spaces and
garages should be located to the rear of the lot or
interior of the block. If this is infeasible, garages
should be recessed some distance behind the main
façade of the house and surface parking should be
placed within side yards to the extent feasible.
7. Mechanical systems on all buildings should be
positioned so they are not visible from the public
view, unless they are an integral part of the
architectural design (i.e. photovoltaic roof tiles).
Solar panels, satellite dishes and air conditioning
systems should be positioned to the back or side
yard of the house, or screened by plantings or low walls.
8. Garages and outbuildings should be designed in character with the primary residence on the
site. When placed on an alley or lane, the design should contain windows that provide a view to
the lane, for additional security. When attached, the garage elevation should not dominate the
street elevation of the primary residence.
Parking to the rear can create attractive
pedestrian oriented environments.
Multifamily housing can emulate architectural
elements of neighborhood context.

Land Use and Community Design Chapter Draft 09-30-19

Guidelines: Medium- and High-Density Design (All Uses)
1. A Pedestrian-Friendly Environment.
Improving the auto-oriented design pattern present in much of the city will call for guidelines
that change the relationship between parking, pedestrian movement and building placement.
a. Provide visual screening and privacy to buffer cars from people, provide visual relief and
allow stormwater infiltration in parking lots. Permeable hardscape, where appropriate,
may be preferred over blacktop or
traditional paving. Vertical “living walls”
(trellis, vine-covered fences) are
preferable to materials that absorb and
reflect heat.
b. Evaluate current parking standards in
order to encourage shared parking and
minimize the visual impact of surface
parking.
c. Encourage or require placement of
surface parking to the rear or side of
buildings, rather than between buildings
and the street.
d. Landscaping is essential to screen parking
areas, buffer adjacent residential uses and
create a pedestrian-friendly environment
along streets.
e. Design surface parking to maximize
stormwater infiltration and allow for
groundwater recharge, using infiltration
swales, pervious pavement or similar
techniques.
f. Where vehicle parking requirements
exist, implement minimum bicycle parking
standards as well.
g. Encourage the development of parking
lots or structures so they can be shared
by more than one building on the site or
by buildings on neighboring sites, and
which can transition over time to other
uses if parking needs change.
h. Enhance the appearance of parking ramps
by designing the structure with the possibility of the addition of liner buildings when
development opportunities are ripe.
i. Use striping, curbs and landscape treatments, centralized walkway medians and islands,
and textured paving to clearly define walking spaces within parking areas and adjacent to
vehicular circulation.
j. Use raised crossings, speed humps, and speed tables to discourage high traffic speeds in
parking lots where pedestrian volumes are high.
k. Locate and screen service and loading areas to minimize their visibility from public
streets and adjacent residential areas.
Visual screening and permeable pavers can
create a more attractive, sustainable
treatment for surface parking.
Particularly in medium to high density areas,
structured parking and shared parking
support efficient use of land and increased
walkability.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Land Use and Community Design Chapter Draft 09-30-19
3-44
2. Encourage Successful Mixed-use Development.
As shown in the future land use section of this
chapter, many of Edina’s commercial, office and
industrial districts are evolving towards a greater
degree of mixed-use. The land use plan
encourages this evolution by defining land use
categories that encourage combinations of
compatible uses.
Mixed-use development allows for a savings in
time and convenience for residents who choose
to live in closer proximity to where they work
and shop. Community interest is served by this
type of development, as the city is able to
integrate additional residences and businesses
more efficiently within existing city
infrastructure. Pedestrian amenities and
proximity of uses encourage more trips to be made by foot or bike, reducing the increase of
congestion that can otherwise result from conventional development of separated land uses.
The City of Edina has several examples of successful mixed-use developments, most notably the
100-acre Centennial Lakes area and the 24-acre Edinborough project. Additionally, there are
opportunities to encourage mixed use in areas such as 50th & France, 44th & France, and
Wooddale Valley View. The following guidelines are directed toward creating successful mixed-
use environments.
3. Building Placement and Design.
Where appropriate, building facades should
form a consistent street wall that helps to
define the street and enhance the pedestrian
environment. On existing auto-oriented
development sites, encourage placement of
liner buildings close to the street to
encourage pedestrian movement.
• Locate prominent buildings to visually
define corners and screen parking
lots.
• Locate building entries and
storefronts to face the primary street,
in addition to any entries oriented
towards parking areas.
• Encourage storefront design of
mixed-use buildings at ground floor level, with windows and doors along at least 50% of
the front façade. In some cases, much higher window coverage may be appropriate.
Mixed use development can provide an
amenity for area residents and support
multimodal transportation alternatives.
A consistent street wall can provide an enhanced
pedestrian environment, particularly in
commercial and mixed use areas.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Land Use and Community Design Chapter Draft 09-30-19
3-45
4. Movement Patterns.
• Provide sidewalks along primary streets and
connections to adjacent neighborhoods
along secondary streets or walkways.
• Limit driveway access from primary streets
while encouraging access from secondary
streets.
• Encourage enhanced transit stops, including
shelters, shade and seating where feasible.
• Provide pedestrian amenities, such as wide
sidewalks, street trees, pedestrian-scale
lighting, and street furnishings (benches,
trash receptacles, etc.).
5. Appropriate Parking Standards.
Mixed-use developments often produce an internal
capture rate. This refers to residents and workers
who obtain goods and services from within the
development without making additional vehicle
trips. Parking ratios for mixed-use development
should reflect the internal capture rate and the
shared parking opportunities this type of
development offers. In the long term other factors
will be impacting parking demand, such as the
availability of autonomous vehicles, shared cars, bike
and scooter share, and other modes that provide
alternatives to driving and parking a car.
6. Improve Connectivity in Large-scale
Development.
Internal and external connectivity. As part of
redevelopment or expansion of large-scale sites,
reintroduce an internal local street and pathway
network that connects through the site and to
suitable entry points at the perimeter. The goal is to
encourage pedestrians to reach the site and drivers
upon arriving to continue all further movement by
foot. As a result, the capacity of internal roads can
be reduced and more area devoted to amenities,
providing still more incentives to walk. Bicycle
facilities should allow residents in surrounding
neighborhoods to bike safely to the site. Transit
stops should be provided in visible and central
locations.
7. “Edge” or transitional uses.
Moderately sized liner buildings should be encouraged to soften the edge of large-scale
superblock development. Medium-density housing types such as townhouses combined with
structured parking may also be an appropriate transitional use.
Adding pedestrian and bicycle amenities and
facilities can encourage people to walk and
bike to destinations.
Mixed use development provides an
opportunity for shared parking between
uses.
Connectivity within large developments can
support walkability.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Land Use and Community Design Chapter Draft 09-30-19
3-46
8. Provide appropriate transitions between
land uses. Rather than discouraging movement
between adjacent land uses with berms and
fences, focus on creating elegant and attractive
transitions between adjacent uses. Transitional
areas include well-landscaped pedestrian
walkways, seating areas, arcades, and other spaces
that encourage integration rather than separation.
9. Buildings Frame the Street. Building
placement and heights can serve to define the
streetscape and visually reduce the apparent
width of the street. Generally speaking, wider
streets can accommodate taller buildings subject
to the height limitations described elsewhere in
this Chapter.
10. Façade Articulation. Primary facades should be
designed with a well-defined base, middle and top,
providing visual interest at ground level. Building
entries and access points should be clearly visible
from the primary street. Long building facades
should be divided into smaller increments using
contrasting materials, textures, detailing, setbacks
or similar techniques.
11. Transparency and Natural Surveillance.
Building forms and facades should provide an
awareness of the activity within the buildings
through frequent doors and windows oriented
toward public streets and open space.
12. Variety of Building Forms. Encourage an
integrated mix of building types, heights and
footprints within blocks, rather than single
buildings or building groups.
13. Building Height Transitions. Taller buildings
(generally four stories or higher) should step
down to provide a height transition to
surrounding residential buildings, including
buildings across a street or pathway, and to avoid
excessive shadowing of sidewalks, parks and
public spaces.
14. Height. With the development of a series of small area plans as additional guidance for growth
and development in Edina, the decision was made to not include guidance for building height in
the main comprehensive plan document. This will allow for more flexibility in the development
review process. Building height is still being addressed through the city’s zoning code and in the
small area plans.
Stepping down building height and scale can
provide a transition to lower density areas.
Buildings that frame the street and have
transparent facades can provide a pedestrian-
oriented experience.
Varying building forms provides visual interest
and aids in transitions.

Land Use Goals and Policies
Land use goals and policies are provided below. See the Implementation Chapter for related
implementation steps, lead implementing agencies, and estimated timelines.
Goal 1: Encourage infill and redevelopment that optimize use of city infrastructure,
complement community character, and respond to needs at all stages of life.
1. Endeavor to accommodate private redevelopment in targeted potential areas of change,
consistent with future land use guidance.
2. In reviewing development proposals, examine how land use and transportation are integrated to
ensure that new development and redevelopment expand nonmotorized travel options that
reduce the need for automobile travel.
3. Increase pedestrian and bicycling opportunities and connections between neighborhoods and
key destinations, and with other communities, to improve multimodal transportation
infrastructure and reduce dependence on cars.
Goal 2: Support livability and high quality of life for all city residents by balancing goals and
priorities for development, especially as the community changes over time.
1. Manage transitions and seams between different use, scale, and intensity types to mitigate any
negative impacts and encourage positive connections between areas where appropriate.
2. Improve the current development review and approval system to provide clearer direction as to
community design goals and encourage high-quality development that is compatible with its
surroundings.
3. Incorporate Edina’s tradition of leadership in education throughout the city by providing and
encouraging opportunities for residents to engage and learn about the community.
4. Pursue overall goals of promoting equity and reducing disparities in outcomes for people living
and working in the community.
Goal 3: Grow and develop sustainably to protect the natural environment, promote energy
efficiency, conserve natural resources, and minimize the impacts of buildings on the
environment.
1. Incorporate principles of sustainability and energy conservation into all aspects of design,
construction, renovation and long-term operation of new and existing development.
2. Encourage efficient use of land through shared functions where appropriate, such as stormwater
management incorporated as a community amenity.
3. Maintain the current open space and wetlands acreage and seek to expand it whenever possible.
4. Encourage development types that are designed to function well in all seasons, including winter.
Goal 4: Create and maintain housing options that serve a diverse range of ages, household
types, and economic situations.
1. Building on current efforts, seek options that allow for residential redevelopment that is
sensitive to the community character and context, while expanding options for residents.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Land Use and Community Design Chapter Draft 09-30-19

2. Seek opportunities to increase the supply of affordable housing, as well as to preserve the
affordability of existing affordable housing.
3. Facilitate the development of new housing that accommodates the needs of a people of diverse
needs and from diverse backgrounds.
4. Investigate opportunities to accommodate Missing Middle housing within the city, defined as
range of multi-unit or clustered housing types compatible in scale with single-family homes that
help meet the growing demand for walkable urban living.
Goal 5: Support and enhance commercial and mixed-use areas that serve the
neighborhoods, the city, and the larger region.
1. Recognize and support commercial, office, and industrial job centers that draw workers from
the city and across the region.
2. Increase mixed-use development where supported by adequate infrastructure to minimize traffic
congestion, support transit, and diversify the tax base.
3. Support the development of mixed use districts that provide a variety of living opportunities
within a walkable and livable area.
Goal 6: Ensure that public realm design respects community character, supports of
commercial and mixed-use development, promotes community identity, and creates high
quality experiences for pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and motorists.
1. Ensure that the city’s roads continue to evolve to act as connectors, rather than as barriers.
2. Incorporate amenities and infrastructure into public corridors to make them beautiful, efficient,
and multimodal public spaces that contribute to community identity and pride.
3. Encourage the development of living streets with enhanced public realms and integrated
environmental functions, including potentially functioning as high-integrity ecologic corridors.

4. Housing
Chapter Highlights
• Changing needs and preferences in Edina regarding
housing type, size, style, and location will have
implications both in areas of change and areas of
stability citywide.
• Affordability will remain a central issue and
challenge for Edina in the coming years, as it seeks
to provide a range of housing options to meet the
needs of Edina residents at all life stages and
income levels.
• There is a need to provide affordable housing to a
broad range of people who wish to live, work, and
attend school in Edina. The city will preserve,
create, and maintain an equitable community that
promotes racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic
diversity.
• The City of Edina has taken proactive steps
regarding affordability via its 2005 Housing
Succession Plan and the subsequent adoption of its 2015 Affordable Housing Policy and
subsequent 2019 New Multi-Family Affordable Housing Policy, but evaluation is needed
to determine if this is sufficient.
Introduction
Housing and residential neighborhoods provide a core part of the identity of Edina for its residents, in
terms of its role in providing basic shelter, community character, livability, a means of wealth creation,
and proximity to jobs, services, and amenities. Likewise, housing policy for the city has shaped how
housing has grown, what it looks like, how property is valued, and even who lives here.
Although the housing patterns throughout Edina have been largely established for decades, they are not
static. The high land values that characterize this community have attracted continued investment in
properties – from extensive renovation to teardowns to larger scale infill development. This reflects the
changing needs and preferences of residents, as well as the need for thoughtful guidance for change. The
housing vision for Edina guides policies related to housing affordability, choice, quality, and community
context.
Even as the city contemplates changes to the housing stock to meet existing and future housing needs, it
is important to note that majority of residential neighborhoods in Edina are guided to remain
predominantly single family housing. Growth and change will be directed to designated areas, as
described in the Land Use Chapter. Future housing policy will strike a balance between maintaining
existing housing and adding needed new options.
This chapter provides an overview of (1) existing housing conditions, (2) trends and challenges related
to housing, (3) future housing needs including the need for affordability, (4) goals and policies, and (5) an
implementation plan.

Existing Conditions
Past and Future Growth
Population and housing growth trends in the City of Edina help define both the existing housing stock
and future growth opportunities. Forecasts included here were produced by the Metropolitan Council
through the regional planning process and with input from the City of Edina Planning Division. Forecasts
continue to be revised as needed.
Beginning in the late 1800s, Edina developed east to west. By the early 1980s, it was largely built out.
Since then new housing primarily has been constructed as infill within existing neighborhoods and in
redevelopment areas. Population trend data shows this. Over the 50-year period from 1960 to 2010,
the population of Edina increased approximately 68%. The vast majority of this growth was within the
first two decades. Between 1980 to 2010, it only grew 4%.
The Great Recession (2007-2009) impacted Edina’s housing market, as it did in other communities
throughout the nation. The rate of adding new housing units slowed, and housing values declined. Due
to historically strong demand for its housing, Edina was impacted less severely than many other
communities and recovered faster. Since then, there has a significant increase in growth, responding to
both the city’s strong market position and pent-up demand. The population is expected to grow by 16%
or 8,600 between 2020 and 2040. These forecasts are modified versions of those in Edina’s original 2015
System Statement, adjusting for higher-than-expected growth rates in Edina over the past few years.
Metropolitan Council forecasts at the local and regional level are adjusted as needed, to reflect new
information and market changes. The current forecasts reflect mutual agreement between the
Metropolitan Council and Edina regarding implications of market-driven growth trends.
In contrast to population, the number of households and housing units have grown much faster. From
1960 to 2010 they increased 168%. They are expected to grow by 24% or 5,800 from 2020 to 2040.
Household size declined from 3.69 people per household in 1960 to 2.31 in 2010. This reflects a national
trend toward smaller family size and fewer children per household. It now takes more housing units to
house the same number of people as it did in the past.

Factors Contributing to Housing Growth
See Chapter 2 Community Profile for a full overview of demographic and economic factors contributing
to growth and change in Edina. Implications for housing are summarized below:
Demographic Changes
Demographic change in Edina in recent years has been characterized by:
• Aging population
• Families with school-aged children
• Increasing racial and ethnic diversity
The median age in Edina is older than in surrounding communities, and the percentage of residents over
65 has been increasing for decades, particularly relative to the percentage under 20. As of 2016, the
percent of 65+ residents was more than 20% of the population, and the median age is 46.7. With a
growing percentage of residents in the 45-64 age cohort, this is only expected to increase over time.
However, a limiting factor for the growth of the 65+ population could be the availability of appropriate
and affordable options for seniors seeking to transition from single family housing to other housing
types.
The appeal of the area to families with school-aged children is tied closely to the strength of the Edina
Public Schools which draws its student body not only from residents, but also from the surrounding
communities via open enrollment. As a result, while the median age of the population continues to
increase, the number of children has as well. The population under 20 has increased since 2000, both in
absolute terms and as a percentage of the population and was around 25% of the population in 2016.
While not above statewide averages, it is notable for Edina, particularly considering the strong growth at
the other end of the age range. Compared to other communities, married couples are a large and
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Housing Chapter Draft 09-30-19

growing percentage of overall households. A limiting factor in accommodating this demand is the
availability of affordable housing options for young families wishing to move to Edina.
Not all growth in enrollment is due to the resident population. Edina has seen an increase in open
enrollment as well. The following chart shows the relationship between the resident population of
students and overall district enrollment. Steady upward trends have influenced strong growth in home
values in the city.

Racial and ethnic diversity has increased gradually but steadily for decades. While still a relatively small
percentage of the population, it is likely to continue to grow, given regional forecasts for demographic
change. Evidence suggests that the youngest generations are typically more diverse than older ones.
While the overall percentage of people reporting minority status in Edina is 13.5%, it is 24% of Edina
Public Schools students, an increase of over 10% in the last ten years. International immigrants moving
to Edina are also more likely to be both young and diverse, compared to the native born population.
Housing Stock
The city has a diverse housing mix that appeals to a variety of household types. The majority of the
housing stock (57%) are single family detached units, with the remainder being single family attached and
duplex (7%), multifamily with 3-19 units (6%), and multifamily with 20+ units (31%). The substantial
percentage of the multifamily housing stock in larger buildings reflects the fact that most multifamily is
concentrated in a few higher density locations, such as the Greater Southdale area, where guidance and
land values support larger scale development.
Over half of the housing stock (55%) was built in the 1960s and earlier, so is approaching 50 years old.
As housing stock ages, continued investment is needed to address maintenance needs as well as
changing tastes and preferences. Housing condition and building permit data suggests that this is
happening. The vast majority of housing in the city is of average or better condition, and many
properties have been substantially upgraded over the years.
Housing Market
The housing market in Edina has been consistently strong over the years. The housing stock is
higher valued compared to the rest of the region, and has retained that value over time. In 2016,
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Housing Chapter Draft 09-30-19
4-5
the median home value in Edina was over $424,000, compared to $220,000 regionally. Like the
rest of the regional and national housing market, Edina saw declines in sales prices and volumes
during the recent recession (2007-2009). However, median housing sales prices in Edina
recovered and exceeded pre-recession levels by 2015, a year earlier than the Twin Cities region.
This points to the fact that the impact was less, and the recovery quicker, than the market
overall.
Source: Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors
The rental market is similarly strong. Particularly post-
recession, there has been pent up demand for new rental
properties, resulting in a wave of new construction of
multifamily rentals. Median rents in Edina are above
regional medians: $1,280/month compared to
$980/month, based on 2016 numbers. As of this writing,
rents are significantly higher, as much as $2,500 or more,
and reflect the newest units which tend to be higher
priced. Like much of the market, rental vacancy rates are
low, in the 1-3% range, though this will likely change as
more units are constructed.
Housing Units and Affordability
Housing affordability is one of the most important
factors related to the housing stock. Broadly defined,
affordability means that the intended residents can pay
for the cost of housing without expending a
disproportionate share of their income (generally greater
than 30%). In practice, the City focuses on policies and
interventions regarding affordability for low income
households, as they typically have the most challenges in
finding affordable options. The definition of affordability
Definition: Affordability
The Metropolitan Council measures
affordability using Area Median Income
(AMI), the midpoint of the seven-county
Twin Cities metropolitan region income
distribution. Low income affordability is
defined at three levels:
•
xtremely low income (30% of AMI)
•
ery low income (50% of AMI)
•
ow income (80% of AMI)
This is further broken down by household
size. The US Department of Housing and
Urban Development has calculated levels of
affordability based on these criteria. In 2018,
a four-person household is considered
extremely low income if its household
income is below $28,300 per year.
Edina’s median household income is
significantly higher than the regional AMI,

for low income households can be found in the box on this page.
The main categories focus on rental property, where there is a desire to also include affordable
ownership in the plan. Therefore, there are several main categories of affordable housing, detailed
below:
• Subsidized housing. These units received some sort of subsidy for construction and/or
renovation, with the criteria that rents are limited to be affordable to households with
incomes at or below 80% of Area Median Income and home mortgages are affordable to
households with incomes at or below 120% Area Median Income. Properties meeting
these criteria are included in the count of units in Table 4.1.
• Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH). These are both ownership and
rental units with below market costs for occupants, but not due to any policy or
regulation. They are a substantial percentage of the affordable housing stock in the Twin
Cities, and include single family homes, apartments, and other housing types. However, as
they are not protected, their values and rents can rise depending on property and market
conditions. There is no official tally of these in the area.
• Senior housing. While most affordable housing cannot be restricted based on
demographics of residents, senior housing is an exception. This housing has age guidelines
for residents, and often features appropriate supporting services – ranging from optional
programs to full service. The exact type and configuration of senior housing will vary
based the market and resident needs and preferences.
• Supportive housing. Supportive housing integrates services with housing. It is typically
targeted at vulnerable groups, such as people with disabilities, people experiencing
homelessness, or people dealing with addictions or having other specialized medical
needs.
• Congregate living. Congregate living features independent living units for residents,
with shared activities and services in common areas. This model may be used in senior or
supportive housing developments.
Table 4.1 summarizes existing housing data. As of 2016, Edina had about 23,510 housing units, 60% of
which were single family and 40% of which are multifamily. Most homes in the city are owner occupied
(72%). The percentages of multifamily and rental units have been increasing gradually, whereas the
number of single family homes has remained fairly static.
According to Metropolitan Council housing data, about 32% of housing units in Edina are affordable to
households with incomes at or below 80% of area median income (AMI). While this is a substantial
number, it is significantly below the countywide average of 63%. Additionally, according to the US
Census, around 29% of all households in Edina are cost burdened. Cost burden, as defined by the US
Department of Housing and Urban Development, is based on the percentage of households whose
typical housing expenditures are more than 30 percent of their income. This threshold has been used to
indicate a point at which households may have difficulty affording other basics such as food, clothing,
transportation, and medical care.
There are 560 publicly subsidized affordable housing units in Edina, most of which are designated for
seniors. Table 4.2 provides additional detail as to the specific developments which include these units.

In addition to the affordable housing developments in Table 4.2, some primarily market rate
developments contain affordable units. These include Aurora on France (4005 W 65th/6500 France), Aria
(3200 Southdale Circle), and Yorktown Gardens (7151 York). The total number of anticipated units
between these projects is around 26.
As shown in Table 4.3 and the following chart, the percentage of households that are experiencing cost
burden has gradually risen since 1990, reaching the greatest proportion in 2010. The trend is mixed: the
percentage of renters experiencing cost burden has been slowly decreasing since 1990 while the
percentage of owners experiencing cost burden has fluctuated over the past 3 decades. Of all cost
burdened households in Edina, about 10% of households spend 50% or more of their household income
on housing, which is qualifies as severe housing cost burden.
Edina Comprehensive Plan

It is important to note that cost burden is also present in households making greater than Area Median
Income, which explains the gap between percentages presented in Table 4.3 (for cost burdened
households making 80% or less of AMI) and the following graph. Roughly 9% of households making at
least 80% AMI ($75,000 or more) experience cost burden.

Trends and Challenges
• Affordability across a range of household types.
As a desirable community with high land
values, affordability is a challenge for
Edina. This includes low income
households, first time homeowners,
young families, seniors seeking to
downsize, and many other groups. Lack
of affordable housing prevents new
people from moving into the
community, and may force existing
households to relocate when they face a
lifestyle change. This is further
emphasized by demographic changes, in
particular the aging of the population,
and the fact that wages have not kept up with inflation and the rising cost of housing.
• Designing walkability as part of new development.
Especially in developed communities
like Edina, residents are frequently
looking for a location where they can
easily access what they need daily.
Public input received during recent
planning processes supports this: 61%
of Vision Edina participants indicated a
stronger preference for alternative
modes (including walking and biking)
than for driving, and participants in the
Pedestrian & Bicycle Master Plan
identified a number of barriers that
kept them from being able to walk and
bicycle as much as they would prefer.
Designing for walkability includes proximity to retail and services, walkable and bikeable
routes, connections to parks and community services, access to transit, and other
amenities. In Edina in particular, there is an exceptionally strong relationship between
housing and the school district, which attracts many residents to the city. Post-recession
Edina: A Community of Learning. Edina has a prized education system of high-quality
public schools. The Housing chapter of the Comprehensive Plan recognizes the importance of
extending the benefits of education to the entire community.
Particularly in the case where there are housing projects with public participation, due to partnerships
and subsidy, there is an opportunity to educate about the important role of housing to a community,
and how they related to other features. The close relationship between education and housing is a
unique opportunity to highlight how they reinforce and work together in the community.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Housing Chapter Draft 09-30-19
4-12
housing patterns show that particularly in the case of multifamily development, residents
are often looking for these amenities within walking distance of their home. Additionally,
walkable development patterns can help reduce the traffic impact of denser housing
patterns by accommodating at least some trips through walking, biking, or transit rather
than automobile.
• Accommodating affordability in a high property value community.
The high values of land in Edina
complicate the provision of
affordable housing in several ways.
There is limited supply of NOAH,
since most unsubsidized housing in
Edina does not qualify as affordable.
Also, acquiring land to preserve or
construct housing is so expensive,
that even dedicated resources (such
as funds from the inclusionary
zoning policy proceeds) are not
sufficient to create impact.
Additionally, the factors that
contribute to the maintenance of
high values are not accidental. Edina
has worked for decades to protect and grow value, sometimes to the extent of excluding
types of development or even people. Because Edina is a welcoming and inclusive city, it
will strive to provide housing for households with a broader range of incomes.
• Mitigate impacts of new development on existing neighborhoods.
As a fully developed community,
any new development will occur
within an area with existing
character and context. Particularly
when new or different housing
types are introduced to meet
needs, there is an interest to
ensure it is an asset to the
community, and any impacts to
surrounding properties are
adequately mitigated. For instance,
there has been increased interest
in higher intensity mixed use development in recent years. This has provided residents
with easy access to transit, retail, and services, as well as opportunities to live and work
in spaces with close proximity. High density developments are already present in Edina,
but more are likely to occur. Managing these uses to mitigate any potential conflicts is
important.
• Maintaining community character.
With the changing ways people are living, working, and using spaces, there will be changes
in how land uses function – both in new and renovated spaces. Edina is frequently on the
forefront of innovative practices, particularly related to sustainability and technology.
However, this will require some flexibility in development standards. One of the goals of
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Housing Chapter Draft 09-30-19
4-13
innovating may be to find ways to
accommodate missing housing
types or to let housing be
produced more affordably.
Examples of housing types may
include “missing middle” housing
options – a range of multi-unit or
clustered housing types
compatible in scale with single-
family homes that help meet the
growing demand for walkable
urban living. These housing
options may include co-housing, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and other smaller scale
multifamily types. Ways to reduce housing costs could include modular building styles
that take advantage of efficiencies in the construction process.
• Combatting social isolation.
While not a housing issue per se, the
way people live their lives now has
become more isolated and
disconnected than in the past. This has
contributed to any number of societal
problems, from political polarization to
a rise in the suicide rate. How do we
help connect communities back
together through shared spaces and
functions, including accommodating
diversity in various forms? This can be
addressed through how residential
areas are designed and built, to support
social interaction and community
connectivity.
• Planning for housing in strong markets.
Many traditional public sector
interventions in the housing
market were originally designed
to work in areas where the
private sector is absent or
underperforming. However,
these same tools can be effective
in a place like Edina, though they
may require creative approaches
and partnerships. In general,
Edina needs approaches that are
focused on leveraging private
investment in existing and future
development. The city’s
inclusionary housing policy is a
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Housing Chapter Draft 09-30-19
4-14
key example of this, but will need to be supported by addressing the barriers to creating
affordable housing, such as zoning restrictions that limit housing density.
• Accommodating housing needs of a changing population. The City of Edina is
seeing changes in its demographics,
particularly in terms of increased racial
and ethnic diversity, and overall aging
on the population. In particular, there
are specific needs related to a growing
senior population. This includes options
for residents to safely age in place,
including receiving in-home medical
care and other supportive services.
Special housing types that accommodate
health and mobility limitations, including
congregate housing (independent living
with shared activities) and memory
care, will be needed.
Housing Needs Analysis
Between 2020 and 2040, it is anticipated that around 5,800 new households will be added to the City of
Edina. What type of units will be constructed will depend on housing needs, community preferences,
and market realities. This section provides an overview of recent housing studies for Edina, and
summarizes existing and project housing needs within the city.
Future Housing Needs
Edina’s Cities of the Future (2015) report described trends that are shaping the demand for housing in the
city. It envisions a future where housing is integrated into mixed use neighborhoods, better meeting the
needs of smaller households with fewer children, and an aging population. Characteristics of new
housing may include:
• New housing options primarily are provided as attached (multifamily) apartments and
townhouses and small detached lots, with a variety of sizes, uses, and resident types.
• Low rise, high density buildings with smaller apartments that are adaptable to provide
opportunities to work at home, and to meet the needs of people with disabilities.
• Neighborhoods providing walking access to residents, retail, office, culture, entertainment,
restaurants, schools, community centers, and green space.
• Smart buildings and sites ensuring wise resource use with low energy and water consumption,
and integrated recycling and composting systems.
• Outdoor spaces integrating pedestrians, cyclists, playgrounds and ecology.
• Recognition that cars are guests in the streets and are respectful of other users.
The study notes that mixed use neighborhoods are becoming a better match with existing and expected
future housing needs than traditional suburban neighborhoods. However, investing in Edina’s single
family housing stock remains popular, as evidenced by the teardown trend. Demographic changes are
driving demand for different housing types, including smaller units which are more affordable, and have
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Housing Chapter Draft 09-30-19
4-15
lower costs for maintenance, energy and water. As population density increases, and citizens are using
their neighborhoods more intensely, there will be a transformation of streets to spaces shared by
automobiles and other uses, more areas will become car free, and there will be other initiatives that
improve safety on the streets. The shift in desired housing, combined with changes in working modes,
means that more people are self-employed and/or work remotely, this may be from home, a local co-
working space or even a coffee shop. People are more often mixing work and leisure time, and
therefore want to work within their community, where they also recreate and engage in social activities.
Outside of this report, a couple other housing concepts that have been identified during the planning
process include:
• “Missing middle” housing. This encompasses housing between the scale of low and high densities,
providing both an option to meet needs, and a built form type that can transition between
adjacent districts of different levels of scale and intensity. These may include co-housing,
duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and other smaller scale multifamily types.
• Lifecycle housing. Ensuring there is a full range of housing options for all stages of life, from starter
homes through continuum of care, so people can live their whole lives in Edina as they choose.
Community Priorities for Housing
Vision Edina Strategic Vision and Framework and Vision Edina Community Engagement Report (both 2015)
outlines directions for housing from the City’s community visioning process, reflecting community input.
Results are summarized below.
Residential Development Mix
The issue of residential property
development was repeatedly
raised throughout the Vision
Edina process. The City has
been faced with a number of
redevelopment pressures and
challenges across numerous
areas. Residents strongly favor a
continued focus on the single-
family housing nature of the
majority of the city
neighborhoods, but there is
increasing concern about the
trend and impact of so-called
‘teardowns’ on the community.
There is also recognition of
some need for additional multifamily options to create more diversity in housing affordability. This
would provide increased options at all stages of life and attract younger residents.
Issues
• Residential neighborhoods continue to serve as the defining characteristic of the city, and there
is a high desire to protect and enhance such neighborhoods.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Housing Chapter Draft 09-30-19
4-16
• Residents take a great deal of pride in their homes, and express concern about the escalating
redevelopment pressures facing some neighborhood areas.
• Edina continues to face competition from neighboring communities that claim to offer a similar
quality of life while also offering more available land for development.
• The community must balance the needs of the families that have defined its character, with an
aging population that desires to ‘age in place.’
Strategic Actions
• Further encourage the development of neighborhood associations and the overall neighborhood
concept. Define the unique character and brand of each of the well-established neighborhoods,
and explore innovative planning guidelines to allow preservation and enhancement of the
desired neighborhood visual appeal.
• Pursue further planning and development options that protect and locate key amenities, such as
parks and community facilities, within the neighborhood framework to allow neighborhood
centers and focus points to further evolve.
• Continue to explore options for new multifamily housing throughout the city in mixed-use areas
and near public spaces, including areas such as Southdale, Pentagon Park and Grandview.
• Work to create affordable housing options close to transit, shopping and employment centers.
Big Ideas for Housing
Bridging between the Vision Edina process and the City’s comprehensive plan update, the Big Ideas
initiative in 2017 looked to draw out some of the major areas of focus that needed to be addressed in
the comprehensive plan.
From the major strategic focus areas identified in the Vision Edina process, Residential Development and
Live and Work (two of the most housing-related ones) were ranked about in the middle of the pack.
Participants were asked to identify Big Ideas associated with each of these focus areas. Those with the
most votes for these two focus areas included:
Residential Development Mix
• Affordable housing that is really life cycle housing; supports the values of equity, balance, and
diversity
• Neighborhoods all need a node. Nodes should all be different.
• Cooperative housing; separate living space that include communal areas such as gardens,
kitchens, gathering spaces
• Affordable single family homes
Live and Work
• Campus grouping jobs and housing with environmental amenities and attention to beauty (low-
scale residential and business)
• Enable live and work nodes attractive to emerging technology and medical device companies
(for example, the Centennial Lakes development)
Edina Affordable Housing Policy
In November 2015, the City of Edina adopted an Affordable Housing Policy. The focus of this policy is
on a proactive and inclusionary approach to providing affordable housing in the city. This was in
response to the City’s recognition of the need to provide affordable housing in order to maintain a
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Housing Chapter Draft 09-30-19
4-17
diverse population and to provide housing for those who live or work in the city. The policy will be
reviewed and adjusted from time to time to better align with the City’s affordable housing allocation and
market conditions. Additionally, the Edina HRA has adopted guidelines for affordable housing
development that apply to projects that are supported by tax increment financing. As of March 2019,
the Affordable Housing Policy was revised and renamed the New Multi-Family Affordable Housing Policy
to clarify its focus and intent.
Existing and Projected Housing Needs
Based on an analysis of existing conditions and the studies summarized above, it is anticipated that the
following housing types likely will be the most needed in the coming years:
• Affordable housing. As of 2016, around 29% of households in Edina experienced cost burden,
paying more than 30% of their incomes on housing costs. The percentage for renters was even
higher, at around 39%. With an aging population and an influx of families with children, the need
for affordable housing will increase. Addressing the affordable housing needs of existing and
future residents will continue to be a priority.
• Housing for families with children, including first-time homebuyers. The strength of
the school district in Edina attracts families with school aged children. While some of these
households can afford to purchase homes in Edina, affordability will be a growing need, based on
regional trends where housing costs are rising faster than incomes and feedback from Edina
residents with family members who are unable to find housing they can afford in the city. There
will be a continued need for housing options that work for families, including affordably priced
ones. This may be in the form of maintenance of existing single-family residences, or newer
options, including “missing middle” type multifamily housing developments, such as duplexes,
triplexes, and condominiums.
• Lifecycle and senior housing. With an aging population, Edina will see continued and
expanded need for housing options that work at all life stages. This may include senior and
assisted living housing options, so that residents are able to stay in Edina throughout their lives.
Senior housing co-ops, housing with services provided, and/or multigenerational housing models
may appeal to these residents.
• Housing in walkable and livable communities. In metropolitan areas, there is a growing
interest in housing that is located within walking distance of retail, services, parks, and other
destinations. Particularly in areas like Greater Southdale, there is the opportunity to add housing
into a mixed-use community, which in turn can help reduce dependence on automobile travel.
• Smaller household types. There is a growing need for housing for smaller households,
including childless couples, single professionals, and empty nesters. In additional to multifamily
style housing, other types – such as “missing middle” or accessory dwelling units – may appeal
to these households.
While housing constructed in Edina will largely be driven by market forces, the City of Edina has an
opportunity to influence developers through policy, regulatory guidance, partnerships, and strategic
investments. The implementation section later in this chapter provides more detail on how these
housing needs will be addressed. For comparison with how nonresidential development is being guided
by the City, see the Economic Competitiveness Chapter.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Housing Chapter Draft 09-30-19
4-18
Affordable Housing Allocation
Affordable housing is a primary concern in Edina, particularly given the high property values that tend to
push housing prices out of the reach of many households. The Metropolitan Council has recognized that
affordable housing is a regional issue, and has allocated forecasted affordable housing needs to each
community. One of the primary factors used in assigning these forecasts was the presence of low wage
jobs, a primary source of employment for residents of lower cost affordable housing. Edina’s allocation
was influenced by the fact that it has a high ratio of jobs to affordable units. This suggests that employers
in this area may have trouble finding all the workers they need for these jobs, and workers may have
trouble finding housing near where they work.
Being cost burdened is not uniquely associated with low income households. Cost burden can affect
households at virtually all income levels, depending on the relative cost of housing. And all housing has
been subsidized at some point through public investment in community building, services, and
infrastructure – not to mention mortgage programs and terms that making homeownership more
accessible.
Edina has had relatively few units affordable to low income households added over the past decade.
However, some were added in 2015 and 2016.
Source: Metropolitan Council, US Census
Housing Performance Scores are a measure of how a community is progressing toward its affordable
housing allocation. It reflects the amount of affordable housing constructed over the previous decade, as
well as preservation and rehabilitation of existing affordable housing, housing policies and ordinances,
and characteristics of the existing housing stock. Edina’s 2017 score is 91 out of 100, reflecting both
recent housing development and its affordable housing policy approach.
The Metropolitan Council prioritized housing affordability in Thrive MSP 2040, and the 2021-2030
Allocation of Affordable Housing Need for Edina reflects the city’s share of the region’s forecasted
population that will need new affordable housing. Housing is considered “affordable” when no more than
30% of household income goes to housing, so households with different income levels have different
thresholds of “affordable.”
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Housing Chapter Draft 09-30-19
4-19
Edina’s share of the regional need for new affordable housing is 1,220 units by 2030, as shown in Table
4.4. This represents a significant increase from the number in the previous comprehensive plan, which, it
must be acknowledged, was not achieved. It is also higher than the original allocation in the System
Statement, as it was increased along with the overall population and household forecasts, due to higher-
than-expected growth rates in the city. As the total expected housing growth for Edina is around 7,500
units, this represents a substantial share of overall net new housing as well. This number is in addition to
existing affordable housing units in Edina, as identified earlier in this chapter.
The total is further allocated by three tiers of affordability. These are based on how much households at
certain percentages of Area Median Income (AMI) can pay for housing without becoming cost burdened
by spending more than a third of their income on housing costs. For instance, as of 2018, the income
limits for a four-person household were $28,300 (30% AMI), $47,150 (50% AMI), and $71,900 (80%
AMI). These amounts will continue to be adjusted over time as median income changes.

Income Range New Units
At or below 30 AMI 508
From 31 to 50 AMI 325

Total Number 1,220
Source: Metropolitan Council
The corresponding affordable purchase price for a household at 80% AMI is approximately $236,000, as
of 2018. It is anticipated that new units will be acquired through construction of new subsidized housing
units, participation in land trusts, subsidized acquisition of existing units, and other strategies.
To meet Metropolitan Council housing plan requirements, Edina must demonstrate it has sufficient land
guided for development at minimum densities (units/acre) high enough to make affordable housing a
viable option. The cost to build per unit typically decreases as the number of units per acre increases.
Lower per unit costs make development an option for affordable housing developers as well as market-
rate developers.
According to the Metropolitan Council, any residential future land use designation that has a minimum
density of eight units per acre or more will count towards affordable housing allocation calculations.
Table 4.5 includes the future land use designations for Edina and the minimum units per acre.

*Mixed use
This does not mean that all the allocated land will be used for affordable housing redevelopment, nor
that the market would necessarily support the creation of these units. However, it does demonstrate
that Edina may have capacity for development beyond the 2040 forecasts. This may inform future policy
decisions if the rate of is faster than anticipated.

Childhood, Senior Center, and other community resident and business organizations in regularly
scheduled dialogues, education, and presentations on the city's need and commitment to
provide affordable housing.
Housing Quality and Design
1. Maintain and update a citywide survey of housing conditions, to determine where additional
investment may be needed.

community gardens that act as magnets to encourage young families to settle in the city.
4. Develop and implement fair housing policy.
Partners and Programs
The City has many existing and potential partners to collaborate in the effort to create affordable
housing in the city. Some of these partners are:
Edina Housing Foundation. Edina Housing Foundation (EHF) is a nonprofit corporation
founded in 1984 under the auspices of the Edina City Council. It has five members all residents
of Edina and appointed by the Edina City Council. The EHF provides a variety of financial and
policy support to promote affordable housing in the city of Edina. Actions and programs include
Come Home 2 Edina; a second mortgage program for home ownership; investments in property
to potentially create affordable single and multi-family housing in the city and grants/loans to
build new affordable housing. The Foundation supports with yearly grants Home Senior Services
for elderly residents that need help keeping up their homes. The EHF also recommends policy
changes on affordable housing to the city council. The full time position in the city of Edina of
Affordable Housing Manager is financially supported by the EHF.
West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust (WHAHLT) WHAHLT is a nonprofit
community land trust organization originally established by the City of Minnetonka to sustain
and preserve affordable homeownership opportunities for working households. This program
provides affordable homeownership opportunities using the community land trust model, which
removes the market value of the land from the mortgage equation, thereby reducing the cost of
a home significantly. Since 2007, the City of Edina provided annual funding to the organization to
purchase three properties within the city to create perpetually affordable housing through
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Housing Chapter Draft 09-30-19
4-25
WHAHLT’s Homes Within Reach program. Between 2007 and 2017, 12 homes in Edina have
been acquired through this program.
The West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust has a program known as Homes Within
Reach (HWR) in the western suburbs of Hennepin County. HWR offers the opportunity for
people to live in communities in which they work and or reside, creating stable communities and
households, through the advantages of homeownership. By preserving and recycling available
resources, the program maximizes the public and private investment being made in workforce
housing.
Metropolitan Council. The Metropolitan Council provides access to a number of housing
assistance programs, including those using federal funds.
The Metropolitan Council’s Livable Communities Act (LCA) is a voluntary, incentive-based
approach to help the Twin Cities metropolitan area address affordable and lifecycle housing
needs while providing funds to communities to assist them in carrying out their development
plans. Through funds provided by the Livable Communities Act (LCA), the Metropolitan Council
awards grants to participating communities in the seven-county area to help them remediate
polluted sites, promote compact and connected development and redevelopment and increase
the supply of affordable housing. Funds are distributed through four LCA accounts: Tax Base
Revitalization Account, Livable Communities Demonstration Account, Local Housing Incentives
Account, and Transit Oriented Development.
Through the Metro Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA), the Metropolitan Council
also administers a range of housing assistance programs. Edina participates in several Metro
HRA programs, including:
o Housing Choice Voucher Rent Assistance Program, also known as Section 8, which is
federally funded and provides rental assistance for low income households through
direct payments to landlords.
o Family Affordable Housing Program (FAHP), which provides scattered site affordable
housing in suburban communities.
o Additional specialized programs are available for people with disabilities and special
needs to fund supportive housing options, such as Shelter + Care, Bridges Rental
Assistance, Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA) Rental Assistance,
and others.
Hennepin County. Hennepin County provides emergency/short-term support for residents
“in a financial crisis that poses a direct threat to their physical health or safety.” This assistance
can provide emergency or temporary shelter; housing costs like rent payments, damage
deposits, home repairs and utility bills; and foreclosure prevention, moving expenses and
transportation to relocate, and extra food support for people on special diets.
Minnesota Housing. Minnesota Housing, the state’s housing finance agency, provides a range
of programs to support affordable housing ownership options. These programs, which typically
have income limit eligibility requirements for participants, include:
o Start Up is a first-time homebuyer program meant to promote affordable interest rates
and help homeowners cover their down payments and closing costs.
o Step Up is a loan program meant to promote affordable interest rates, with assistance
for home purchases and rehabilitation.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Housing Chapter Draft 09-30-19
4-26
o Deferred Payment Loan is meant for first-time homebuyers to help reduce the cost of
homeownership.
o Monthly Payment Loan is a supplementary program to provide additional home
purchase assistance, in addition to other Minnesota Housing programs.
o Mortgage Credit Certificate reduces the cost of mortgages by allowing homeowners to
claim a mortgage tax credit.
Real Estate Developers. As addressed in the City’s affordable housing policy, affordable units
are required to be addressed as part of mixed income developments, or to pay into a fund to
pay for the construction of units elsewhere. Examples of this are already in existence in the
Greater Southdale area. Nonprofit developers who specialize in affordable housing may be more
equipped to navigate the various state and federal funding sources that are used to fund
permanently affordable units.
Land Bank Twin Cities. Land Bank Twin Cities works with developers, nonprofit service
providers, and local governments to assist with real estate related transactions designed to
benefit low income people and other disadvantaged groups. They offer support via brokering
and negotiating property purchases, land banking and holding property, and financing/lending for
a property or project.
Private Foundations and Funds. Minnesota has a strong tradition of local and regional
philanthropy. Opportunities may exist to partner with private foundations and funds to advance
mission-driven, innovative approaches to meeting housing needs.
Alternative Ownership Structures. Community land trusts, cohousing communities,
cooperative housing, and other alternative ownership models can help control costs and lock in
affordability over the long term – in part by separating out the value of the land from that of the
housing, and by introducing a structure to manage values over the long term. There are
limitations to how much these can be used in high value areas like Edina, but they certainly
should be considerations when the city is considering its affordable housing strategy.
Housing Justice Center. Founded in 1999, the Housing Justice Center (HJC, formerly known
as the Housing Preservation Project, or HPP) is a nonprofit public interest advocacy and legal
organization whose primary mission is to preserve and expand affordable housing for low
income individuals and families. HJC seeks to prevent the loss of affordable rental housing by
conversion to market rate, demolition, foreclosure, and other causes. HJC also seeks to foster
expanded affordable housing opportunities.
Additional housing tools and strategies that may be used by the City of Edina are included in the
following Additional Housing Tools section.
Additional Housing Tools
In the following table are a number of additional housing tools and strategies, divided up by the type
housing goal or need they may help fulfill. This is meant as a resource to supplement the main ones

5. Transportation
Chapter Highlights
This chapter of the Edina Comprehensive Plan
discusses the transportation network; its
existing and planned future design, function,
and operational characteristics. Current and
future conditions are considered against three
aspects of movement: 1) to and from, 2) within,
and 3) through the City. As presented in this
chapter, movement is broadly discussed to take
into account:
• The municipal transportation system
comprising local streets, pedestrian ways,
bicycle facilities, and City-operated
transit services;
• The regional transportation system of
State of Minnesota and Hennepin County
highways
• Transit services that are provided by the
Metropolitan Council/Metro Transit,
Southwest Metro Transit; and the City of
Edina through a contractual arrangement
with DARTS.
• Non-motorized transportation modes
supported by the City and Three Rivers
Park District.
The chapter defines the existing system,
identifying the locational and physical
characteristics of system components and
assesses them against factors such as:
• capacity,
• safety,
• efficiency,
• environmental and social impacts, and
• overall contribution to: a) the ability to
conveniently move around and b) the
physical design of the City.
Edina’s Transportation Planning
Mission:
The mission for transportation planning in Edina is to
provide access and facilitate the movement of people and
goods efficiently, safely, cost effectively, and comfortably to
any desired destination while, at the same time, seeking to
improve community livability and the environment and
minimize associated negative impacts.
Transportation planning is not an end in and of itself.
Instead, transportation planning is performed to
proactively identify the most suitable travel modes and
pathways to help achieve a desirable and livable community
and accommodate safe and convenient travel to, within,
and through the community’s nodes, parks, and City
facilities. Toward this end, this chapter considers the roles
of a range of transportation infrastructure (roadways,
transitways, walkways, bikeways, railways and flyways), to
support a variety of vehicles, each operating successfully
and in a manner that minimizes conflicts with each other
and surrounding land uses.
Edina is a near fully developed community, and the existing
roadway network is essentially complete. Today’s primary
transportation planning focus is not on building new roads
or new alignments but on:
1. Renewing, managing, and improving the existing
transportation system (network);
2. Ensuring that the transportation system can
accommodate travel demand imposed by new
developments;
3. Improving the City’s non-motorized transportation
system to facilitate pedestrian and bicycle movement
and increase active transportation;
4. Supporting and encouraging transit use;
5. Increasing safety;
6. Implementing the City’s Living Streets Plan (2015) to
ensure that the transportation needs of all users will
be considered and all modes will be appropriately
accommodated; and
7. Ensuring that the City will manage the existing and
future transportation systems in an efficient and
responsible manner to achieve livability, sustainability,
and a high level of environmental quality.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
5. Transportation Chapter Draft 09-30-19
5-2
Fourteen goals developed for this chapter, which follow, focus on developing a multi-modal transportation system that is
conveniently accessible to all users. The goals recognize and seek to reverse the advantage that automobile travel has had
over transit and non-motorized modes; thus enabling residents and visitors to travel without increasing greenhouse gas
emissions, personal costs, and costs to society.
1. Improve mobility for residents, visitors and businesses with a balanced system of transportation
alternatives for transit users, pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists.
2. Implement a fully multi-modal transportation system that supports the land use vision and future
land use plan for managing and shaping future growth.
3. Minimize the impacts of the transportation system on Edina’s environment and neighborhood
quality of life and emphasize methods to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
4. Reduce the overall dependence on and use of single-occupant vehicles by promoting land use
patterns that allow for shorter vehicular trips and the use of alternative travel options.
5. Promote a travel demand management (TDM) program through a coordinated program of
regulations, marketing, and provision of alternative workplace and travel options.
6. Encourage and support attractive and reliable high-performance transit service and connections.
7. Develop and manage parking provision to encourage joint and shared use of facilities, ride-sharing
(car pools and van pools), and bicycle parking.
8. Invest in infrastructure to support the continued growth in low- to zero-emission technology and
support regional and statewide efforts to educate and adopt electric vehicles.
9. Provide for efficient movement of goods within Edina, while minimizing the impacts of freight traffic
on other trips and reducing negative impacts on land uses on freight corridors.
10. Engage, seek input from and educate all segments of the community regarding transportation-
related issues and projects impacting the City.
11. Identify new and continuing sources for transportation infrastructure funding by seeking to partner
where feasible with federal, state, county and adjacent community sources.
12. Design roadway facilities according to their intended service function and neighborhood context.
13. Provide and maintain adequate access to and from, and safety on, local and regional roadways.
adjacent community redevelopment and other activity that potentially impacts the City of Edina.
14. Manage, maintain and operate roadways to maximize wherever possible the safety and mobility of
all users and all modes.
These goals are consistent with and support the City’s Living Streets Plan (2015), a policy plan that is
divided into three elements: Vision, Principles and Implementation. The policy plan includes a description
of core services provided by the City of Edina that are related to or implemented in part through Living
Streets. (https://www.edinamn.gov/DocumentCenter/View/1199/Living-Streets-Plan-PDF?bidId=)
Excerpts from the policy plan are provided below.
Living Streets Policy
Living Streets balance the needs of motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians and transit riders in ways that
promote safety and convenience, enhance community identity, create economic vitality, improve
environmental sustainability, and provide meaningful opportunities for active living and better health. The
Living Streets Policy defines Edina’s vision for Living Streets, the principles Living Streets will embody, and
the plan that will guide implementation of their construction.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Transportation Chapter Draft 09-30-19
5-3
Living Streets Vision
Edina is a place where ...
Transportation utilizing all modes is equally safe and accessible;
Residents and families regularly choose to walk or bike;
Streets enhance neighborhood character and community identity;
Streets are safe, inviting places that encourage human interaction and physical activity;
Public policy strives to promote sustainability through balanced infrastructure investments;
Environmental stewardship and reduced energy consumption are pursued in public and private
sectors alike; and
Streets support vibrant commerce and add to the value of adjacent land uses.
Living Streets Principles
Fifteen principles guide implementation of the Living Streets Policy in the areas of all users and all modes,
connectivity, context sensitivity and sustainability. The City will incorporate these principles when
planning for and designing the local transportation network and when making public and private land use
decisions.
All Users and All Modes Principles:
• Principle 1: Living Streets are high-quality transportation facilities that meet the needs of the most
vulnerable users such as pedestrians, cyclists, children, seniors and the disabled.
• Principle 2: Living Streets provide access and mobility for all transportation modes while
enhancing safety and convenience for all users.
Connectivity Principles:
• Principle 3: The City designs, operates and maintains a transportation system that provides a
highly connected network of streets that accommodate all modes of travel.
• Principle 4: The City seeks opportunities to overcome barriers to active transportation by
preserving and repurposing existing rights-of-way and adding new rights-of-way to enhance
connectivity for pedestrians, bicyclists and transit.
• Principle 5: The City prioritizes improvements to non-motorized connections to key destinations
such as public facilities, public transit, the regional transportation network and commercial areas.
• Principle 6: The City will require new developments to provide interconnected street and
sidewalk networks that connect to existing or planned streets or sidewalks on the perimeter of
the development.
• Principle 7: Projects will include consideration of the logical termini by mode. For example, the
logical termini for a bike lane or sidewalk may extend beyond the traditional limits of a street
construction or reconstruction project, in order to ensure multimodal connectivity and
continuity.
Context Sensitivity Principles:
• Principle 8: Living Streets are developed with input from stakeholders and designed to consider
neighborhood character and promote a strong sense of place.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Transportation Chapter Draft 09-30-19
5-4
• Principle 9: Living Streets preserve and protect natural features such as waterways, urban forest,
sensitive slopes and soils.
• Principle 10: Living Streets are designed and built with coordination between business and
property owners along commercial corridors to develop vibrant commercial districts.
• Principle 11: Living Streets coordinate with regional transit networks and regional authorities.
• Principle 12: The City will consider the fiscal context of projects and potential financial impacts
when implementing Living Streets at the project level.
Sustainability Principles:
• Principle 13: Living Streets will improve the current and future quality of life of the public.
• Principle 14: Living Streets will reduce environmental impacts associated with the construction
and operation of roadways.
• Principle 15: The City will increase the life span and resilience of its infrastructure and will build
infrastructure with consideration for lifecycle costs and ease of maintenance.
Living Streets Implementation
The City of Edina will develop Living Streets in the regular course of business of maintaining, expanding or
redeveloping the road network and will be guided by the Vision and Principles established above.
Implementation will happen predominantly through the neighborhood street reconstruction program but also
though specific stand-alone stormwater utility, pedestrian, bicycle or safety projects. Project prioritization is not
specifically part of the Living Streets Plan. Prioritization of projects takes place in the City’s Capital Improvement
Program and Budget and is determined by the City Council with guidance from the Living Streets Vision and
Principles. The City will actively promote and apply the Living Streets Policy and Plan by:
• Applying the Living Streets Policy and Plan to all street projects, including those involving operations,
maintenance, new construction, reconstruction, retrofits, repaving, rehabilitation or changes in the
allocation of pavement space on an existing roadway. This also includes privately built roads, sidewalks,
paths and trails.
• Drawing on all sources of transportation funding and actively pursuing grants, cost-sharing opportunities
and other new or special funding sources as applicable.
• Through all City departments supporting the vision and principles outlined in this Plan in their work.
• By acting as an advocate for Living Streets principles when a local transportation or land use decision is
under the jurisdiction of another agency. Projects that implement Living Streets will be guided by
pedestrian and cyclist network plans and roadway classifications and will consider the physical, social,
ecologic, regulatory and economic context in a given project area.

Introduction
Overview
Effective transportation planning is critically important for a community such as Edina. Residents, institutions, and
businesses must be provided with transportation facilities and services that meet mobility needs in an efficient,
effective and safe manner. Transportation facilities, at the same time, need to be planned and constructed so as
to limit negative social, environmental, and aesthetic impacts to the greatest degree feasible. In addition,
residents who cannot or choose not to drive need to have transportation options to meet their daily needs.
There is a fundamental link between transportation planning and land use planning. Successful land use planning
cannot take place without taking transportation considerations into account. Conversely, transportation
planning is driven by the need to support existing and future land uses. (Chapter 3 of this Comprehensive Plan
identifies existing and planned future land uses, which are base-level inputs in transportation planning.)
Edina Transportation Commission
In 2003, the City formed the Edina Transportation Commission (ETC). It comprises citizens appointed by the
City Council. It advises the City Council on transportation issues facing the City, including traffic management,
roadway improvement projects, non-motorized transportation, and traffic safety requests. This transportation
chapter was prepared under the guidance of the ETC.
Purpose
There are three objectives of this Transportation chapter:
1. To provide a guidance document for City staff and elected officials regarding the planning and
implementation of effective transportation facilities and systems over the planning horizon.
2. To give citizens and businesses background on transportation issues and allow them to be better informed
regarding the City’s decision making on transportation issues.
3. To communicate to other government agencies Edina’s perspectives and intentions regarding
transportation planning issues.
The preparation of the document also has provided stakeholders with the opportunity to have input into the
transportation planning process.
Current Conditions
Walking and Bicycling
Walking and Bicycling Facilities
The existing network of sidewalks, pathways and bicycle facilities serving the City of Edina is depicted on Figures
5.1 and 5.2. In 2018 the City prepared a Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan; the Master Plan’s pedestrian and
bicycle findings and recommendations are summarized in Section 7.3. The full Master Plan is attached as an
appendix to the Comprehensive Plan and can be accessed at
https://www.edinamn.gov/DocumentCenter/View/5433/Final-Master-Plan-Report-PDF
Regional Bicycle Transportation Network
The goal of the Metropolitan Council’s Regional Bicycle Transportation Network (RBTN) is to establish an
integrated seamless network of on-street bikeways and off-road trails to improve conditions for bicycle
transportation at the regional level and encourage planning and implementation of future bikeways. The network
is divided into two tiers each for RBTN corridors and alignments. Figure 5.3 depicts the Tier 1 and Tier 2 RBTN
Corridors and Alignments.

Tier 1 RBTN Corridors have been identified by the Metropolitan Council as the highest priority for regional
transportation planning and investment. Tier 2 RBTN Corridors are the remaining corridors in the overall
regional network and are assigned the second tier priority. As shown, there is one small Tier 1 RBTN corridors
in Edina, which looks to make a connection between two RBTN alignments across the W 77th St bridge over TH
100. Additionally, there are three Tier 2 RBTN corridors in Edina. These corridors (which do not yet have
defined alignments) are centered on:
• Blake Road/Interlachen Boulevard
• Vernon Avenue/West 50th Street
• Canadian Pacific Railroad north of West 66th Street
Tier 1 and Tier 2 RBTN Corridors are similar to RBTN Alignments. Unlike the Corridors, the
Alignments have specific route alignments defined through discussions with City and County staff. These
alignments either already exist or are defined in City planning documents. The Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail,
opened in 2018 by Three Rivers Park District, is the only Tier 1 RBTN Alignment in Edina, and West 66th Street
is the City’s only Tier 2 RBTN Alignment.
Transit
Existing Transit Routes and Paratransit Services
Scheduled transit service for Edina residents is currently provided by Metro Transit (a division of the
Metropolitan Council) and by Southwest Transit. Most of the City of Edina is within Metro Transit’s Market
Area III, with eastern portions (including Southdale and northeast Edina) in Market Area II. The existing
scheduled service to Edina residents is depicted on Figure 5.4 and summarized in Table 5.1, below.

Metro Mobility
Paratransit services are provided by Metro Transit’s Metro Mobility service. Door to door service is provided
using a wheelchair lift-equipped van on a first come-first served basis. 2018 hours of operation are daily 4:15
a.m. to 2:30 a.m.
CloverRide Circulator Service
The City of Edina contracts with Dakota Area Resources and Transportation for Seniors (DARTS) to provide a
circulator bus service in the Southdale area for Edina residents and visitors. This service, called CloverRide,
operates from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Fridays. CloverRide is a reliable, continuous shuttle service that provides
accessibility from senior housing locations in the Southdale area to retail and other popular destinations. The
one-hour “loop” runs clockwise along France and York Avenues between W 65th Street and Minnesota Drive.
While focused on serving senior citizens, the CloverRide circulator bus service is available to riders of any age.
High-Frequency Transit Routes
The only high-frequency transit route that currently serves Edina is the Route 6 (see Table 5.1 above). This
route serves Edina’s industrial park area, the Southdale Transit Center, South Minneapolis (including the Uptown
Transit Station), downtown Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota.
Transit Stations and Transit Centers
Southdale Transit Center
The key transit facility in Edina is the Southdale Transit Center, which is located in the eastern portion of
Southdale Center shopping mall. It includes a covered shelter area where route and schedule information can be
found. The Southdale Transit Center is one of the busiest transit centers in the Twin Cities, with seven transit
lines that stop and link at this location, along with a park & ride (see below). Three lighted, covered waiting
shelters are equipped with on-demand heat and real-time departure information.
Park-and-Rides and Express Bus Corridors
Southdale Park & Ride
There are 70 surface park & ride spaces at the Southdale Transit Center (see above), with available overflow
parking for additional vehicles.
Express Bus Corridors
TH 62, TH 100, I-35W and I-394 serve as express bus corridors for Metro Transit routes that connect Edina
commuters to downtown Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota. Express Routes 578 and 579 run along
TH 62 and I-35W, while Route 587 runs along TH 100 and I-394.
Transit Advantages and Transit Support Facilities
Currently, Metro Transit operates on “bus-only shoulders” within Edina on northbound TH 100 (north of
Benton Avenue) and both eastbound and westbound TH 62 (east of Gleason Road). There are currently no
transit support facilities in Edina
Roadways
Located within the Twin Cities metropolitan area, the City of Edina is served by the regional roadway network
that is shown on Figure 5.5. As shown, Edina is a first-tier suburb within the I-494 beltway, and the important
regional roadways that pass through or are adjacent to the City are: I-494, Trunk Highway (TH) 169, TH 100,
and TH 62 (Crosstown). Cities that are adjacent to Edina are: Minneapolis, St. Louis Park, Hopkins, Minnetonka,
Eden Prairie, Bloomington, and Richfield. Figure 5.6 shows existing daily traffic volumes, and Figure 5.7 shows the
number of lanes on the regional roads that comprise the regional roadway network.

Roadway Functional Classification
The roadway functional classification system
describes how streets and highways in a network
collect and distribute traffic from neighborhood
streets to collector roadways to arterials and
ultimately to the Metropolitan Highway System.
Roads are placed into categories based on the
degree to which they provide access to adjacent
land versus provide higher-speed mobility for
“through” traffic. Functional classification is a
cornerstone of transportation planning. Within this
approach, roads are located and designed to
perform their designated function.
It should be noted that while functional classification
is an important factor to determine the
engineering/technical design parameters for
roadways, aesthetic considerations in Edina will be
directed by the Living Streets Plan and
transportation-related community design guidelines
discussed in Chapter 3 of this Comprehensive Plan.
The functional classification system used in the City of
Edina, as described below and shown on Figures 5.8 and
5.9, conforms to the Metropolitan Council standards. The
Metropolitan Council has published these criteria in the
Transportation Development Guide/Policy Plan. This
guide separates roadways into four (4) street
classifications, including principal arterials, minor
arterials, collectors, and local streets. The City of
Edina has expanded the Metropolitan Council’s
classification system to include local connectors,
bringing the total to five classifications.
These classifications address the function of state, county
and city streets from a standpoint of the safe and efficient
movement of traffic through the City while providing
satisfactory access to residents and businesses located
within the City. Under the following headings,
information is provided for each of the respective
functional classes, as well the roadways that fall under
those classes in Edina. The descriptions of the
characteristics of the functional classes provided below
are based on Metropolitan Council information. It should
be noted that an additional sub-classification called Local
Connector streets is included as part of Edina’s local
roadway network and is described below. It should also
be noted that these descriptions represent “ideal
conditions” and that not all roadways
Key Features of a
Functionally Classified
Roadway System
• Systems that include an appropriate balance
of the five types of roadways provide the
greatest degree of safety and efficiency.
• It takes a combination of various types of
roadways to meet the needs of the variety
of land uses found in most urbanized areas.
• Most agencies could not afford a system
made up entirely of principal arterials, and a
region only served by a system of local
streets would likely be gridlocked.
• Roadways that only serve one function are
generally safer and tend to operate more
efficiently. For example, freeways only
serve the mobility function and, as a group,
have the lowest crash rates and the highest
levels of operational efficiency.
• Functional classification can be used to
prioritize roadway improvements.
• The design features and levels of access for
specific roadways can be matched to the
intended function of individual roadways.
• The appropriate balance point between
competing functions should be determined
for each roadway based on analyses of
specific operational, safety, design, and land
features.

within that functional class will fit the specific description due to unique local conditions, history of the roadway,
or other factors.
Principal Arterials
Principal Arterials include all Interstate freeways. Interstate freeways connect the region with other areas in
the state and other states. They also connect the metro centers to regional business concentrations. The
emphasis of principal arterials is on moving large volumes of traffic over long distances rather than providing
direct access to land. They connect only with other Interstate freeways, other principal arterials, and select
minor arterials and collectors. Principal arterials are not intended to serve pedestrian and bicycle travel directly
and they often act as barriers to bicycle and pedestrian travel in the centers and neighborhoods through which
they pass. The principal arterials through or adjacent to Edina are:
• I-494
• TH 100
• TH 169
• TH 62 (Crosstown)
Minor Arterials
The primary function of Minor Arterials is mobility as opposed to access in the urban area; and only
concentrations of commercial or industrial land uses should have direct access to them. Minor arterials should
connect to principal arterials, other minor arterials, and collectors. Connection to some local streets is
acceptable. Minor arterials are designed to carry higher volumes of general traffic than other local roads carry.
Sometimes the design standards for high volume minor arterials create a barrier for bicycle and pedestrian
travel.
The Metropolitan Council has identified “A” minor arterials as streets that are of regional importance because
they relieve, expand, or complement the principal arterial system. The “A” minor arterials in the Edina area are
summarized in Table 5.2, below.

Remaining minor arterials are considered “other” minor arterials, which have the same function as “A” minor
arterials but are not eligible for federal funds. As shown in Table 5.3 below, CSAH 158 is functionally classified
as an “other“ minor arterial. It is the only roadway in Edina that falls into this category.
Table 5.3 – Other Arterial Roadways
Roadway From To
Vernon Avenue/Gleason

Collector Roads
Collectors provide connections between neighborhoods and from neighborhoods to minor business
concentrations. It also provides supplementary interconnections of major traffic generators within the metro
centers and regional business concentrations. Mobility and land access are equally important. Direct land access
should predominately be to development concentrations. In order to preserve the amenities of neighborhoods
while still providing direct access to business areas, these streets are usually spaced at one-half mile intervals in
developed areas.
Major collectors serve higher density residential areas, job and activity centers and freight terminals that are not
on the arterial system, and they serve longer local trips, including local bus service. Major collectors are included
in the Metropolitan Council’s regional network. Minor collectors serve shorter local trips and lower density land
uses and play a key role in the City of Edina’s local roadway network. Major and minor collector roads can be
good candidates for bicycle routes because they serve shorter trips that bicyclists make and generally have more
compatible traffic speeds and volumes as compared to arterials. Major collector roadways in the Edina are
summarized in Table 5.4, below.

Local Connector Streets
Local Connectors are a subset of Local Roads (below) and are not part of the Metropolitan Council TPP
standards. Local Connectors are those with a Local Road functional classification, as defined in the
Comprehensive Plan, that meet at least one of the following two criteria:
• Average daily traffic (ADT) of at least 1,000 vehicles.
• Serves as a connection between neighborhoods, destinations and higher-level roadways.
Local Connectors provide continuous walking and bicycling routes, and some may accommodate transit routes
as well. While they are essential to the flow of people between neighborhoods and destinations, the needs of
people passing through must be balanced with the needs of those who live and work along Local Connectors.
Local connector streets in the City are depicted on Figure 5.9.
Local Roads
Local Roads provide the most access and the least mobility within the overall functional classification system.
They allow access to individual homes, shops, and similar traffic destinations. Through traffic should be
discouraged from using local roads by using appropriate geometric designs and traffic control devices. Local
roads serve local travel for pedestrians and bicyclists. Local roads in the City are depicted on Figure 5.9.
Jurisdictional Classification
State, County, and Municipal Roadways
Roadways are further classified on the basis of which level of government owns and has jurisdiction over the
given facility. The three levels of government that have involvement are the State of Minnesota (MnDOT),
Hennepin County, and the City of Edina. MnDOT owns/maintains the Principal Arterial and Trunk Highway
(TH) systems, Hennepin County the County State Aid Highway (CSAH) and County Road (CR) system. The
City owns/maintains the local (and local connector) streets, including Municipal State Aid (MSA) streets. Figure
5.10 provides a graphic depicting the jurisdictional classification of the overall roadway network serving Edina
and its residents, businesses, and institutions.
Cities in Minnesota with populations greater than 5,000 are eligible to receive Municipal State Aid (MSA) funding
from the state Highway User Tax Distribution Fund. The basic purpose of this program is to help local
governments construct and maintain those collector and arterial roadways that have consistent design standards
and are well integrated into the overall network of collector and arterial roadways. The State Aid office of
MnDOT has established clearly defined design requirements for MSA streets. These requirements ensure that
capacity, operational, and safety goals are met in a uniform manner from community to community and that
street systems are well coordinated with each other.
Based on State Statute, sections 169.80 and 169.87, MnDOT does not allow cities to restrict truck traffic on
local or MSA streets. However, cities may restrict trucks over a certain weight depending on road conditions
and time of year.
Edina’s current (2018) MSA network is identified on Figure 5.11. These roadways are eligible to receive MSA
funds for maintenance and/or improvement projects. The MSA network is reviewed every year and may be
revised subject to MnDOT State Aid review and approval.

Aviation
There currently are no airports within the City of Edina. The closest airport is the Minneapolis-Saint Paul
International Airport (MSP), which is approximately three and one half miles east of the City. Edina is within the
influence area of MSP as determined by Metropolitan Council Guidance (Transportation Policy Plan, Appendix
K).
Aviation-Related Policies and Ordinances
Any person or organization intending to sponsor the construction or alteration of a structure affecting navigable
airspace as defined in Federal Regulation Title 14, Part 77 must inform the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) of the
project. This notification is accomplished through the completion and submittal of Form 7460. In the case of
Edina, this requirement applies to the following circumstances:
• any construction or alteration exceeding 200 feet above ground level
• any construction or alteration of greater height than an imaginary surface extending outward and
upward at a slope of 100 to 1 for a horizontal distance of 20,000 feet from the nearest point of
the nearest runway (Runway 17/35 at MSP)
Aviation-Related Facilities
Edina has no permitted seaplane surface waters, tall towers, radio beacons or other air navigation aids located
within the city. There is currently one heliport in the City of Edina, which is located at the Fairview Southdale
Hospital. Heliports are regulated through City ordinance.
Freight
A safe, efficient, high-capacity freight transportation system is essential to the economic well-being of Edina, the
region, and the state. However, freight movement (by truck and rail) is often regarded as incompatible with
other land uses and other modes of transportation. The following is a summary of existing facilities, nodes and
issues relating to freight movement in Edina. Figure 5.12 shows roads and railways that carry freight through
Edina. Figure 5.13 depicts the current volumes of multi-axle (or heavy commercial traffic) on principle arterials in
and adjacent to the City.
Freight Facilities
While Edina has no intermodal freight terminals, the Canadian Pacific Railway (CP Rail) railroad runs north-
south over four miles through the entire city, just west of Highway 100. Currently, freight trains on this portion
of the CP Rail line are operated by the Twin Cities and Western (TC&W) Railroad. Approximately two trains
run through Edina on CP Rail per day – one in the morning and one the evening. The existing freight rail traffic
in the corridor remains about the same as it did in 2001 (about 1-2 trains per day). Some freight
improvements/track improvements have been made recently which may lead to increased freight traffic, though
specific railroad plans are not known.
Other Freight-Related Nodes
The Cahill industrial area, located in south-central Edina, consists of two distinct areas. The northwestern
corner of this area comprises some residential uses on the north side of West 70th Street and a concentration
of commercial (office and retail) and light industrial uses on the south side of West 70th Street. This area is
bordered by West 70th Street to the north, the Canadian Pacific Railroad to the east, generally the FilmTech
industrial use to the south, and Cahill Road to the west. A small area plan for the northwest corner of this area
was approved by the Planning Commission in December 2018 and adopted by Council in January 2019.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Transportation Chapter Draft 09-30-19
5-25
The remaining area is bordered by West 70th Street to the north, TH 100 to the east, the southern city limits to
the south, and the Canadian Pacific Railroad to the west. The land uses within these borders can best be
described as light industrial and business park. With the Great Recession of 2008 and the economic downturn,
retail uses and other non-business uses began to appear in this area. At this time it is known that existing land
uses in the Cahill industrial area tend to generate multi-axle truck traffic, future plans are somewhat unknown as
the City considers preparing a small area or district plan for the area.
Another concentration of uses associated with truck traffic is the Southdale commercial district, in southeastern
Edina. This area has a large number of commercial and retail land uses that must be served by trucks for
deliveries, in addition to the general purpose traffic associated with the district.

Trends and Challenges
The City of Edina recognizes the need to increase active transportation through the construction and
maintenance of infrastructure, which will improve the livability and sense of community in Edina. When planning
for the future it is important to lessen the negative impacts that transportation may have on the environment
and neighborhoods, and improve connectivity throughout the city.
In order to prepare for the coming seismic changes in transportation, including vehicle electrification, connected
and automated vehicles, changes in parking demand, technology, funding availability, delivery of goods and the
aging population, it is necessary to plan for a balanced transportation system.
Walking and Bicycling
The following is a summary of Edina’s Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan, the findings and recommendations of
which serve to identify the trends, challenges and opportunities of walking and bicycling in Edina. The full Master
Plan is attached as an appendix. Proposed pedestrian and bicycle networks are illustrated on Figures 5.14 and
5.15 on the following two pages.
The Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan is a document to guide Edina’s continuing evolution toward becoming a
more walkable, bikeable community that offers its residents a full range of healthy, active and sustainable
transportation options for moving in and around the city, and for connecting to its numerous recreational,
commercial and entertainment opportunities.
Walking and Biking Goals
Goals for the plan are twofold:
• To increase the number of Edina residents, workers and visitors who walk or bike for transportation,
health, fitness, and recreation in the city, and,
• To support city, resident and elected officials’ work and efforts to offer the highest quality of life and
best experience of their city to Edina residents, businesses, workers and visitors.
Community Guidance
The plan was developed with the active participation of the Edina community and guidance and consultation with
city staff. A vigorous engagement process - using both in-person and innovative online approaches - brought the
Edina: A Community of Learning. Edina has a prized education system of high-quality public
schools. The Transportation chapter of the Comprehensive Plan recognizes the importance of extending
the benefits of education to the entire community.
Collaborating with the Arts and Culture, Heritage Preservation, and Parks and Recreation Commissions
and Edina public schools, the Planning and Public Works Departments could incorporate continued learning
into infrastructure improvement projects. New sidewalks, for example, might include cast-in alphabets to
spur toddler interest in reading, poetry to stimulate us all, original art to tie it all together and certainly
dates of construction to help us all understand the effects of time. And all of this could become visual
clutter, but under the guidance of the Arts and Culture Commission, it has the possibility to become a
pervasive and convincing presence of a commitment to education and learning that can delight the
community and indicate that the community is committed to becoming an even better place to live.

voice and ideas of well over a thousand Edina residents into the shaping of the plan’s vision and
recommendations.
The guidance was clear: residents recognize, enjoy and appreciate the many walk/bike assets the City has
developed over the last ten years - but there are also many opportunities for improving current conditions and
innovating, once again, to develop and offer residents the best, most productive approaches for growing walking
and biking in the city.
An All Ages and Abilities Network
Guidance from Edina residents was very clear: connecting to schools, parks and neighborhoods with safe and
comfortable facilities is a key priority.
The plan proposes an All Ages and Abilities walk/bike system that is built around a new “Twin Loops”
framework connecting key assets in the city through a high-comfort, high-amenity network of walking and biking
routes and supporting facilities. The Inner and Outer Loops, working together with the new Nine Mile Creek
Regional Trail, provide high quality connections tying all four city quadrants and serving Edina schools,
community destinations and parks, regional destinations, and adjoining communities.
A Comprehensive Approach
The plan recognizes the importance of a comprehensive approach for achieving success: a full suite of
recommendations - from on-the-ground routes and facilities to a robust set of education, encouragement and
other programming initiatives are part of the plan’s “6Es” approach.
Bikeshare, educational campaigns, and recommendations for supporting development of new “mobility hubs” in
the city are included.
Taking Care of What We’ve Got
But the plan is not only about making new investments - it’s also about recognizing and taking care of the many
walk/bike assets Edina has developed over the last few years. Recommendations for maintaining infrastructure,
and offering a year-round walking and biking network are also a key part of the plan.
Implementation - Where We Make it Real
Recommendations are great - but none of it counts if we don’t build it. The plan includes robust guidance for
implementation approaches - from a “test it first” and quick/tactical approach to developing facilities and
infrastructure to recommendations for implementing programs. Most important of all, it includes a preliminary
evaluation on how to implement the Edina Twin Loops - by looking at opportunities, constraints, and potential
phasing for developing the individual segments that will make up this premier, signature walking and biking
framework for the City’s transportation network. Several potential funding sources are also identified.
Safe Routes to School
In 2014 the City of Edina approved its Active Routes to School (ARTS) Plan. The purpose of the ARTS Plan is to
identify opportunities and priorities to increase walking and biking to schools, and develop an implementation
plan for making improvements in these areas. The City worked together with the Edina School District to
prepare the plan, and the City has been successful in implementing most of the sidewalk recommendations
indicated in the ARTS Plan.
Future Transit Service
The City of Edina, as an inner ring suburb, has good transit service relative to much of the overall metro region.
The existing service and facilities are identified on Figure 5.4. The Southdale Transit Center is one of the busiest
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Transportation Chapter Draft 09-30-19
5-32
transit facilities in the region, and there is generally good commuter service to downtown Minneapolis.
However, transit service in western portions of the City is quite limited, and the need has been identified to
evaluate additional park and ride capacity to improve the usability of commuter service for Edina residents. This
will be discussed further under the facilities heading below.
As discussed in Chapter 3 of this Comprehensive Plan, the population of Edina is aging to a greater degree than
many communities in the region. This trend will likely increase the demand for transit services in coming years.
The City should track this and other factors including increasing gasoline costs to assess on-going demand for
enhanced scheduled transit service. The City should work with Metro Transit and Southwest Metro Transit to
advance such service as demand is identified. Metro Transit provides the great majority of transit service options
in Edina, and it would make the determination if service revisions or enhancements would be viable for its
service areas. The ability to plan and provide additional transit service is subject to state and regional funding
that Metro Transit receives.
Facilities
Metro Transit’s Central-South (Sector 5) Plan (revised 2004) identified a future 300-500 car park and ride facility
at TH 100 and Vernon Avenue. However, the Metropolitan Council’s 2030 Park-and-Ride Plan (adopted 2010)
does not include a future park-and-ride facility in Edina. The Plan identifies an existing 1-150 car “transitway
facility” at TH 100 and Vernon Avenue, which consists of “hide-and-ride” transit users who park in and around
the City-owned parking structure in this location. Given the current limited transit service in the western
portion of the City, future evaluation of the need for a more formal park-and-ride facility at this location may be
necessary.
Future Service
Local Circulator Service
As discussed above, there is very limited Metro Transit Service in the western portions of Edina. In the past the
City has had discussions with Metro Transit regarding additional service to the western areas, perhaps as
circulator service. This would involve smaller vehicles that would seat between 12 and 18 riders. At the time
Metro Transit determined that there is not enough demand in this area for it to viably provide such service,
given its funding limitations. Metro Transit staff cited the relatively high income levels and high rates of car
ownership as factors limiting the demand for additional transit service in these areas.
The City has evaluated, on a preliminary basis, the option of providing its own circulator service. This would
provide service to the western portions of the City and would give those who cannot drive or choose not to an
alternative travel mode to use. In summary, the capital costs (in 2008 dollars) for the lowest level of service
(“baseline”) evaluated would be approximately $150,000 (three vans), and the annual operating costs would be
over $250,000. The more extensive operational scenario evaluated resulted in costs substantially higher.
The evaluation summarized above is intended to stimulate preliminary but systematic consideration of circulator
service which could increase transit coverage in western Edina. To move this issue forward, a more detailed
study will be required to address the following issues:
• Clarify the City’s understanding of potential ridership; who will use the service and at what times?
• Preferred service type (fixed route vs. flex or “on-demand”) and frequency
• If fixed route, identify the optimal routes and stops
• If a hybrid fixed route/flex service, identify optimal operating parameters
• Hours of operations
• Fare structure

Greater Southdale Area Bus Circulator Service
The 2008 Comprehensive Plan recommended that the City conduct a study to assess the viability of a Southdale
District shuttle service. In 2018 the City initiated a pilot bus circulator service, called CloverRide and operated
by DARTS, that provides service to residential and commercial areas in the greater Southdale area. This fixed-
route service runs one day per week during the mid-day, and has a one-hour “loop” through the area, stopping
at four (primarily senior) housing destinations and six commercial/retail destinations. While the service runs on
a fixed schedule, riders are allowed to request “on demand” stops provided they are proximate to the regular
route.
City staff and the Edina Transportation Commission will evaluate this pilot program and make recommendations
regarding its continued service. This could include changes to stop locations and times, as well as expanded
service (e.g. more buses, more stops located in other areas of the city).
Light Rail Transit
In the 2040 Transportation Policy Plan (TPP), the Metropolitan Council has identified a series of transitway
corridors for planning purposes. This network is included as Figure 5.16. The METRO Blue Line (Hiawatha LRT
Corridor), connecting downtown Minneapolis, the MSP International Airport, and the Mall of America, was
completed in 2004. The METRO Green Line (Central LRT Corridor), connecting Downtown Minneapolis and
Downtown St. Paul, was completed in 2014.
The METRO Green Line Extension (Southwest LRT Corridor) is currently being designed. This LRT corridor
will operate on a route from downtown Minneapolis through St. Louis Park, Hopkins, Minnetonka, and Eden
Prairie, passing in close proximity to Edina. The line will include 16 new stations and will be part of an integrated
system of transitways, including connections to the METRO Blue Line, the Northstar Commuter Rail line, many
bus routes, and proposed future transitways. Six planned Green Line stations will be within one mile of the
Edina city border; however, the accessibility of each station from Edina varies considerably. The City should
continue to work with neighboring cities to make pedestrian and bicycle connections to Green Line stations and
cooperate with Metro Transit regarding feeder bus connections. between Edina’s neighborhoods and stations
constructed along the Green Line Extension. Heavy construction of the Green Line Extension is scheduled to
take place between 2018 and 2022, with passenger service as an extension of the METRO Green Line beginning
in 2023.
Passenger Rail
MnDOT’s 2015 update to the Minnesota Comprehensive Statewide Rail Plan guides the future of both freight
and intercity passenger rail systems and rail services in the state. While there is no specific mention of Edina, the
plan generally provides strong support for increased investment in passenger rail as a response to growing
congestion on highways serving the metropolitan area and exurban communities. The Rail Plan identifies an
intercity passenger rail line that extends from the Twin Cities to Northfield that would pass through the City of
Edina by way of the Canadian Pacific Minneapolis, Northfield and Southern Railway (CP MN&S) subdivision. This
corridor is also known as the Dan Patch Corridor and is identified as a Phase 1 project in the plan. This
identification indicates it is a desirable project within a 0- to 20-year (2015 - 2035) implementation horizon.
A study conducted in 2002 examined the feasibility of establishing commuter rail service along the Dan Patch
corridor. At that time, responding to opposition from residents, former State Representative Ron Erhardt
introduced legislation that would prohibit state and regional agencies from spending any money to study, plan or
design a commuter rail line in this corridor. This legislation, which was passed and has been referred to as the
"gag order," applies to state agencies and affected Regional Railroad Authorities but not cities. Based on interest
in commuter rail expressed by Edina residents, the City in 2017 conducted a study to gauge public support for
passenger rail in the Dan Patch corridor through Edina. The majority of public feedback was not supportive of

Transportation Chapter Draft 09-30-19

passenger rail in the Dan Patch corridor through Edina. The majority of public feedback was not supportive of
passenger rail in the corridor; particularly noted are comments coming from residents who live along the route.
The study, which is documented in the Passenger Rail Community Engagement Report, concluded with a
recommendation that the City should not pursue passenger rail in the Dan Patch corridor at that time.
The City may benefit from interest in light rail by other communities, particularly Savage, which sees a light rail crossing of
the Minnesota River and connection to Southwest Light Rail as a means to relieve congestion on the US Highway 169
bridge. Light rail concepts being considered are less noisy and safer than heavy alternatives such as intercity and commuter
rail, can be implemented quickly, and will cost a small fraction of recent Twin Cities light rail projects. If implemented, a
light rail system between Saint Louis Park and Savage along the Dan Patch corridor (with two or three stops in Edina) will
have a profound effect on transportation, will stimulate development, and will increase property values along the route
Bus Rapid Transit
Metro Transit is currently planning improvements to the Route 6
corridor with the E Line bus rapid transit (BRT) project. The E Line
will substantially replace parts of Route 6 in the Hennepin Avenue
corridor, serving uptown Minneapolis. Since this BRT line was
identified in 2012, community members have expressed interest in
a longer BRT corridor to serve more places along Route 6,
including extending service along France and/or York Avenues in
Edina. Metro Transit is studying the corridor in 2018-2019 to
determine whether to extend the E Line south into Edina.
Following this corridor study, E Line station planning will begin in
2019 with construction (pending full funding) beginning as soon as
2023. The City of Edina is represented on the study’s Technical
Advisory Committee.
Future Roadways
2040 Traffic Forecasts
Year 2040 traffic forecasts were prepared using the Metropolitan
Council travel demand model. The model was refined for application specifically for the City of Edina. The 2040
roadway network assumed for this analysis is the same as the current roadway network, as the City and County
Capital Improvement Programs (CIPs) do not include any projects that add significant capacity to the roadway
network. While the travel demand model is a valuable tool for identifying future traffic based on the proposed
land use impacts, it is not meant for use in detailed traffic operations studies. For a more accurate
representation of the transportation impacts from specific developments, detailed traffic studies should be
conducted to determine the operational impacts on adjacent roadways and intersections.
A central concept of travel demand forecasting is the use of Transportation Analysis Zones (TAZs). Each
forecast study area, in this case the City of Edina, is divided into a series of TAZs. Each TAZ has land use data
which indicates trip generation and trip attraction including population, household, and employment data. Figure
5.17 displays Metropolitan Council TAZs within the City of Edina.
Table 5.5 provides the initial population, household, and employment allocations by TAZ assumed in the
Metropolitan Council model. Table 5.6 provides the population, household, and employment allocations by TAZ
based on the City of Edina’s Land Use Plan adjustments as detailed in Chapter 3. Table 5.7 shows the change in
TAZs between the base condition and the adjusted condition. Results of the City of Edina modeling process
are summarized on Figure 5.18 showing the 2040 Traffic Forecast (Met Council Base) and Figure 5.19 showing
the 2040 Traffic Forecast with Edina Land Use adjustments.

2040 Roadway Deficiency Analysis
Congestion on the roadway system is judged to exist when the ratio of traffic volume (number of daily vehicles
on a given roadway) to roadway capacity (maximum number of daily vehicles a given roadway can reasonably
accommodate) approaches or exceeds 1.0. The ratio of volume to capacity (v/c ratio) provides a measure of
congestion along a stretch of roadway and can help determine where roadway improvements, access
management, transit services, or demand management strategies need to be implemented. It does not, however,
provide a basis for determining the need for specific intersection improvements or other detailed mitigation.
Table 5.8 presents high-level estimates of the average daily traffic (ADT) capacity ranges for various types of
roadways. These ranges are based on guidance from the Highway Capacity Manual, discussions with the
Metropolitan Council, and professional engineering judgment. A range is used since the actual capacity of any
roadway design (v/c = 1) is a theoretical measure that can be affected by its functional classification, traffic
peaking, traffic composition, access (e.g. intersection or driveway spacing), speed, and other roadway design
features such as grade, pavement condition, presence or absence of bike lanes, number of bus stops, type of
intersection control devices, traffic signal phasing and timing, pedestrian crosswalks, etc.
In order to define a facility’s “daily capacity,” the top of each facility type’s volume range should be used. This
allows for capacity improvements that can be achieved by roadway performance enhancements. Another useful
capacity analysis index is the level of traffic that a facility can accommodate before it is defined as approaching its
capacity limit. A segment of road is noted as “approaching capacity” when observed daily volume equals or
exceeds 85 percent of daily capacity (v/c > 0.85). This level of traffic volume is also presented in Table 5.8 by
facility type.

Four-lane urban 18,000-22,000 18,700
Four-lane urban with a left-turn
lane 28,000-36,800 31,200
Note: The terms urban and rural describe typical section designs (e.g., curb and gutter for urban and ditch
drainage for rural). They do not imply geographic areas.
Using the methodology described above, capacity deficiencies were identified by comparing existing ADT
volumes to the threshold capacities noted in Table 5.8. The existing number of lanes (Figure 5.7) were
compared to the forecast daily traffic volumes (Figures 5.18 and 5.19) to develop the 2040 capacity deficiencies.
Figure 5.20 shows the base 2040 forecast capacity deficiencies, which were based on the original Metropolitan
Council land use projections. Figure 5.21 shows the revised (adjusted) 2040 forecast capacity deficiencies based
on Edina’s land use projections. As noted on Figures 5.20 and 5.21, “congested” roadway segments are defined
as those with a volume-to-capacity ratio at or above 1.0..

Roadway Deficiencies and Improvement Needs
The City of Edina is considered fully developed and therefore it is not expected to see substantial traffic
increases over the planning horizon in many locations. However, with the anticipated redevelopment of land use
in some locations (for example, areas covered by the Small Area Plans), combined with regional traffic trends
and considerations, there will be some areas of significant traffic growth. Most (but not all) of the areas identified
above as approaching or over capacity in 2040 are two-lane, state-aid roadways, which will require working with
other agencies to improve or otherwise mitigate.
Taking into account projected future traffic conditions, together with current issues, the following areas have
been identified for recommended improvements and/or monitoring and further evaluation:
• Gateway area redevelopment
• France Avenue (West 70th Street to I-494)
• France Avenue (north of TH 62, especially south of West 58th Street)
• West 70th Street
• Vernon Avenue/Gleason Road (north of TH 62)
• Other trunk highway and interchange area
These areas and others will be addressed under the following headings. The final heading will address a summary
of implementation considerations and requirements. Within the context of this planning level information,
individual projects will be identified to be included in the City’s Capital Improvement Programs over the next
ten years (until the next Comprehensive Plan Update is required).
Potential Problem Locations
The primary current problem locations are identified below.
Trunk Highway System Congestion
Peak period congestion occurs on nearly all of the trunk highway segments passing through or adjacent to the
City. This includes I-494, TH 169, TH 100, and TH 62 (Crosstown Highway). In addition to the mainline
congestion, queuing from ramp meters provides a source of localized congestion on the City street system as
discussed under the following headings.
Freeway Interchange Queues
Peak period queuing occurs at most freeway ramps. In particular, the older freeway interchanges with TH 62 at
Xerxes Avenue South and France Avenue (see above) have inadequate bridge width and storage capacity to
accommodate vehicles waiting at the queue. Similar problems exist along TH 100 at West 70th Street and West
77th Street.
Through Traffic on Local Streets
Various residential areas experience, or perceive that they experience, large amounts of through traffic.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Transportation Chapter Draft 09-30-19
5-48
France Avenue/West 50th Street Intersection
This intersection, in the middle of a popular older commercial area, is affected by high pedestrian traffic levels as
well as high vehicular traffic volumes. It is a destination for local as well as many non-local visitors. Refer to the
50th & France Small Area Plan for further details.
France Avenue North of TH 62
The concentration of recent and future increased redevelopment in the greater Southdale area, along with the
congested interchange at TH 62, has the potential to result in congestion on France Avenue north of TH 62.
France Avenue transitions from a four-lane to a two-lane roadway at the interchange.
Gateway Redevelopment Area Improvements
An Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) was prepared by the City in 2007 (with updates in 2013 and
2018) for an area generally bounded by TH 100 to the west, Fred Richards Golf Course/76th Street to the north,
France Avenue to the east, and Minnesota Drive to the south. The impetus for the AUAR was the purchase of a
parcels within the Study Area by a developer and subsequent discussions with the City regarding their
redevelopment. The City decided to review the potential for further redevelopment within the commercial and
industrial area along West 77th Street adjacent to these recently acquired parcels.
The AUAR reviewed five different scenarios: 1 – Comprehensive Plan (1998), 2 – Master Plan (proposed by
developer), 3 – Maximum Commercial, 4 – Maximum Residential, and 4.1 – Modified Scenario 4. Each of these
scenarios required its own set of roadway improvements to accommodate the development envisioned for the
given scenario. Perhaps the most notable observation is that Scenario 3 (Maximum Commercial) would require
reconstruction of the West 77th Street Bridge over TH 100 to provide additional through and turning lanes.
Funding requirements may preclude the implementation of this scenario in the foreseeable future.
The AUAR identifies improvements that will be required for various types and intensities of development
outcomes. The specific improvements that will be required, and the schedule of those improvements, will be
dictated by the development projects that are actually proposed and occur over time. It is recommended that
the City clarify to developers early in the plan review procedures for this overall area that they must address
transportation improvement needs in a proactive manner. The City will coordinate with developers regarding
the planning and funding of the improvements, but developers will be required to perform their “fair share” such
that needed improvements are identified and implemented in advance of the added traffic volumes.
A conceptual east-west connector corridor north of I-494 has been identified for further evaluation and
potential long-term implementation. This corridor is identified on Figure 5.22. As shown, it uses West 78th
Street, West 77th Street, and West 76th Street with enhanced continuity. It will be further discussed under a
separate heading, below. The improvements addressed in the Gateway Area AUAR are considered short to
mid-range improvements, with the east-west connector corridor being a long-range concept.
France Avenue (TH 62 to I-494)
France Avenue between TH 62 and I-494 carries high volumes of traffic. The design of the roadway, 4-lane
divided with turn lanes, has a high level of capacity, and roadway actually operates better than what perhaps is
the common perception. For example, motorists must wait more than one signal cycle to proceed through an
intersection only infrequently even at peak travel times. However, as traffic levels increase as projected on
Figure 5.19, congestion on the main portion of this stretch of roadway will become more of a concern. Refer to
the transportation section of the Southdale District Area Plan for additional information regarding France
Avenue.
TH 62 and Central Areas
The primary issue at TH 62 is that there is currently not enough bridge width to provide storage for vehicles
waiting in queues on France Avenue at the interchange. To address this issue, in 2019 MnDOT (in cooperation
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Transportation Chapter Draft 09-30-19
5-49
with Hennepin County) is planning to redeck the France Avenue bridge over TH 62 to include a second
northbound left-turn lane, with the intent to shorten queuing for vehicles waiting to head westbound on TH 62.
Additionally, the sidewalks on both sides of the bridge will be significantly widened to improve pedestrian
comfort and safety.
An additional means to improve this situation is through traffic management, attempting to spread the traffic
more equally between the interchanges at Valley View Road, France Avenue, and Xerxes Avenue. Both the
Valley View Road and Xerxes Avenue interchanges currently relieve the France Avenue interchange, but efforts
can be made to increase this affect. Options that could be further explored include employee training for
businesses in the area, to promote increased use of the alternate interchanges, and improved signage indicating
the option of using alternate interchanges. However, it is not known how effective such measures could be,
short of significant operational or infrastructure projects.
There currently does not appear to be any physical/infrastructure projects that could readily be implemented
and would have clear benefits in terms of redirecting traffic from France Avenue to York/Xerxes Avenue.
However, as redevelopment continues to take place in the Greater Southdale area, the City should promote
access and street design that helps make Xerxes/York Avenue a viable alternative to France Avenue.
Figure 5.22: Conceptual East/West Connector
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Transportation Chapter Draft 09-30-19
5-50
An important limitation of Xerxes/York Avenue in terms of serving as an alternate route for France Avenue is
that it does not have an interchange at I-494. As will be discussed under a separate heading, the City should
investigate an enhanced east-west connector corridor north of I-494. This would tie into Richfield’s West 76th/
77th Street corridor. One of the benefits of such a connector route is that it could make the use of Xerxes/York
Avenue as an alternate to France Avenue more viable. East-west traffic flow would be enhanced in the southern
portion of the City with connections to both France Avenue and York Avenue.
I-494 Area
The primary operational difficulty on France Avenue at the south end at I-494 relates to the single southbound
right turn lane to accommodate both motorists using the ramp to westbound I-494 and those using the loop to
eastbound I-494. This causes excessive southbound queuing in the right lane. The proximities of Minnesota
Drive and West 78th Street to the interchange exacerbate this problem. Hennepin County has identified a
roadway re-striping plan which would help address this problem. This plan separates the traffic turning onto the
westbound I-494 ramp from the traffic turning onto the eastbound loop. The City will work with the County
and the City of Bloomington to ensure that this improvement takes place.
West 70th Street
The section of West 70th Street between TH 100 and France Avenue (reconstructed in 2011) is problematic
because it experiences relatively high traffic levels for a roadway passing through a residential setting. The traffic
levels are due in large part to the basic location and context of the segment. At one end of the segment is an
interchange with major highway (TH 100), and at the other end is an important “A” minor arterial roadway
(France Avenue) and a major commercial center (greater Southdale area). Traffic levels are currently at the high
end of the capacity for a 2-lane roadway with turn lanes, and are forecasted to be over capacity by 2040.
East-West Connector Corridor
A significant transportation difficulty facing the City is that there is not a continuous east-west reliever roadway
on the north side of I-494. Motorists making east-west trips north of the freeway must proceed through a series
of roadway segments that are currently not well coordinated or tied into a larger roadway network.
Coordinating with adjacent communities, a conceptual corridor has been identified that is depicted on Figure
5.22. This improvement area would align along existing West 78th Street west of E Bush Lake Road, West 77th
Street between East Bush Lake Road and Parklawn Ave, and West 76th Street east of Parklawn Avenue. An
alternative (and longer-term) alignment between East Bush Lake Road and Parklawn Avenue would involve a
new bridge crossing of TH 100, which would relieve traffic levels on the W 77th Street/Edina Industrial
Boulevard bridge over TH 100 (see the Long-Term “Alternative Alignment” on Figure 5.22).
The rationale behind this concept is to provide a roadway that would serve a similar function to American
Boulevard in Bloomington and the West 76th/77th Street corridor in Richfield. It would tie directly into the
Richfield corridor. As stated above, it could ultimately relieve congestion through the TH 100/West 77th
Street/Edina Industrial Boulevard interchange. It would generally allow more efficient east-west movements and
tie into the larger Edina network more effectively. For example, it would make Xerxes/York Avenue easier and
more logical to use as an alternative to France Avenue to relieve traffic levels on France. It would likely make
this portion of Edina a more attractive location for business and office development because of improved
mobility and access. The Gateway Redevelopment discussed under an earlier heading may provide the
opportunity to begin roadway reconstruction efforts associated with implementation of the overall East-West
Connector concept.
Because this roadway would support and improve operations on trunk highways (TH 100 and I-494), MnDOT
and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) would be supportive of such a project. The City should
explore the availability of state and federal funding to help advance this concept if it is deemed viable.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Transportation Chapter Draft 09-30-19
5-51
It should be emphasized that this long-term corridor improvement plan is only conceptual at this point, and no
major right-of-way acquisitions are anticipated. However, it is recommended that the City continue to explore
the concept and discuss it with adjacent communities, MnDOT, and Hennepin County. The City can also
coordinate roadway reconfiguration and reconstruction with the redevelopment of the Gateway area as
appropriate. The potential benefits of such a corridor could be quite significant, just as American Boulevard has
benefited Bloomington, and the West 76th/77th corridor has benefited Richfield.
Summary of Key Implementation Considerations and Requirements
Gateway Redevelopment Area Improvements
The City should require, early in the plan review procedures for redevelopment projects proposed in this area,
that transportation improvements be clearly identified and addressed. The City will expect developers to plan,
coordinate and finance their fair share of the required improvements in a proactive manner. Any roadway
reconfiguration associated with the Gateway redevelopment will need to be consistent with the long term vision
of the East-West Connector roadway summarized below.
East – West Connector Roadway
The City should continue to coordinate with neighboring communities, Hennepin County, and MnDOT to
advance the planning and evaluation of the general corridor identified on Figure 5.22. It is likely a long-term
concept, but as redevelopment is proposed and implemented in the southern portion of Edina, consideration
should be given to this potential corridor in terms of long term right-of-way issues and access design.
Roadway Jurisdictional Issues
In general, it is good policy that Hennepin County and MnDOT assume responsibility for and jurisdiction over
the arterial network, and cities assume responsibility for the collector and local street systems. This is, to a large
extent, the situation in Edina. The existing roadway jurisdictional classification system is depicted on Figure 5.10.
At present, there are no roadways in the City under State (MnDOT) jurisdiction that are being considered for
turnback to Hennepin County or the City of Edina. However, Hennepin County, in its Transportation System
Plan, identifies two roadway segments that are candidates for turnback to the City of Edina (see Figure 5.23):
• CSAH 31 (York/Xerxes Avenue) from 50th Street to south City limit (see Figure 5.23)
• CSAH 158 (Vernon Avenue/Gleason Road) from TH 100 to TH 62 (see Figure 5.23)
Regarding these segments, the City of Edina does not support either turnback option. These segments should
remain under County jurisdiction for the following reasons:
• CSAH 31 - This roadway serves an inter-community function, connecting Bloomington, Edina and
Minneapolis. It also links with TH 62. It carries a significant percentage of traffic not originating or
terminating in Edina.
• CSAH 158 - This roadway is an arterial roadway serving an intercommunity function and is
therefore appropriate for Hennepin County jurisdiction. It carries a substantial percentage of
traffic not originating or terminating in Edina.
• Both – At current Municipal State Aid funding levels, the City believes that there would not be
enough resources for Edina to maintain these roadway segments in the future.
In the event the City is ultimately required to accept one or both of the transfers identified above, it should
ensure that the roads are brought up to the appropriate design and maintenance standards prior to accepting
transfer.

Access Management
Access management refers to balancing the need for access to local land uses with the need for mobility and
safety on the roadway system. Arterials generally have limited access, collectors allow a greater degree of access
given their combined mobility/access function, and local streets allow the most access of the roadway functional
Edina Comprehensive Plan

categories. Appropriate access control preserves the capacity on arterial streets and improves safety by
reducing the need for traffic to divert to local streets. It separates local turning movements from higher speed
“through” traffic, concentrating traffic linkages at intersections controlled with traffic signals, roundabouts, or
other measures.
MnDOT and County roadways serving Edina are identified on Figure 5.10. For MnDOT roadways, MnDOT’s
access management guidelines apply. These guidelines are included in the Appendix. For County roadways,
Hennepin County access management guidelines apply. These guidelines were established in the Hennepin
County Transportation System Plan, and are included in Appendix T-4. In instances of local site redevelopment,
the City will continue to work with these guidelines in the site plan review and approval process.
The City’s existing ordinance on curb cut placement limits the placement and number of accesses to local and
collector roadways under City jurisdiction. General guidelines include the following:
• No driveway on a local street is to be within 50 feet of a street intersection
• When properties adjoin two streets, the access should be to the lower volume street
Community/Aesthetic Design for Transportation Facilities
Community design goals and treatments were discussed in Chapter 3 of this Comprehensive Plan, and in the
Living Streets Plan. Roadways are an important component in community design because they represent a
significant percentage of the overall land area of any community, they represent public space over which the City
has jurisdiction (the municipal right-of-way area), and because they are obviously very visible to many travelers,
local and non-local.
Refer to chapter three of the Living Streets Plan for detailed descriptions of the type, function and location of
Living Streets in Edina, and chapter six for roadway design guidelines. These design guidelines discuss the
following design elements (both functional and aesthetic):
• Vehicular Facilities (driving and parking lanes, pavement markings and signage)
• Pedestrian Facilities (sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, street furniture and public art)
• Bicycle Facilities (type and placement, signage and wayfinding and intersections
• Traffic Calming (road design, curb extensions, boulevard trees, pavement color/texture)
• Stormwater Management and Sustainable Infrastructure (impervious surface reduction; soil, turf and
trees; rain gardens; filtration/infiltration; ponds and wetlands)
Another important component of the Community Design Guidelines which pertains to transportation and
roadways is the guideline for gateways. Gateways define areas with character and a sense of place, and can
include such features as street or other lighting, signage, street furniture and public art, and other streetscape
improvements. Many of these elements are in place in various districts throughout the City, but other locations
could be identified and improved.
Travel Demand Management
The primary emphasis of Travel Demand Management (TDM) is to reduce the number of vehicular trips on
congested roadways during peak travel times. Since the many or most of these trips are commuter (work) trips,
TDM strategies primarily involve places of employment and associated travel behavior.
The primary methods or strategies are identified below:
• transit
• car/van-pooling
• telecommuting
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Transportation Chapter Draft 09-30-19
5-55
• flex-time
• non-motorized commuting
In general, the policies or incentives to promote TDM activities are provided through employers. For example,
employers can provide monthly discounts or passes to employees to use transit. They can provide coordination
services to match up individuals for car/van pooling activities. They can allow or promote telecommuting,
particularly in various industries for which face-to-face contact is not important for task performance. Similarly,
employers can allow or promote flex time, which enables employees to travel to/from work at non-peak travel
times. Regarding non-motorized commuting, the provision of shower and changing facilities is often helpful to
promote bicycle commuting.
There is a number of reasons for employers to promote TDM activities. In some cases, vehicle parking is at a
premium and anything they can do to reduce parking requirements is beneficial. Another example may be a large
employer or group of employers accessed by congested road systems. If these employers can reduce rush hour
trips into their facilities and associated congestion, it benefits their workers and makes their places of business
more attractive places to work. Some employers wish to reduce vehicle trips to their facilities simply because it
is “the right thing to do” for environmental reasons.
Cities can increase TDM activities through promotional activities and by coordinating with key employers to
identify and implement TDM plans. Cities may require TDM plans for new developments if they are large
enough to have significant traffic impacts. Cities can also form or coordinate the formation of Transportation
Management Organizations (TMOs). These organizations pool resources and strategies to get the biggest “bang
for the buck” for reducing traffic levels in a given area. The City of Edina is an active member of the 494
Corridor Commission, which is a TMO striving to limit single occupancy vehicle trips on I- 494.
It is difficult to project the quantitative benefits of Travel Demand Management activities with confidence.
However, as fuel prices increase and congestion on major roadways in the metro region increase into the
future, the demand for and potential of this approach will increase accordingly.
The City of Edina currently requires developers proposing projects with the potential for significant traffic
impacts to submit TDM plans as part of the plan review and approval process. The thresholds which are
currently in place requiring these plans to be generated are projects that would:
• generate 1,000 or more vehicle trips per day, or
• generate 100 or more trips during any one-hour period, or
• increase the traffic levels on an adjacent roadway by 50 percent or more
The City’s requirements in terms of commitment to TDM activities and programs within the TDM plans are
currently not rigorous. For example, these plans often simply identify existing transit service within the vicinity
of the proposed project to suggest future TDM activities. It is recommended that the City evaluate the option of
adding “teeth” to TDM requirements for developers, perhaps using the City of Minneapolis and Bloomington
programs as a guide.
Aviation
According to Appendix L of the 2040 Transportation Policy Plan, Edina is not a “noise impacted community.”
However, members of the community have expressed increased concern over the effects of aircraft noise on
their property and quality of life. These issues can be shared with the MSP Noise Oversight Committee (NOC),
which was established in 2002. The MAC Noise Program Office works closely with the NOC and is dedicated
to collecting, analyzing and reporting aircraft operations data for the purpose of working with the communities
surrounding the MAC's system of airports on aircraft noise issues. The MSP NOC membership is balanced with

Transportation Objectives
Previous sections of this chapter have examined existing conditions, as well as future issues, needs, and
recommendations. This section discusses the City’s transportation objectives.
By adopting the overall Comprehensive Plan Update including the Transportation Chapter, the City Council will
establish the guidelines by which decisions regarding transportation facilities and programs will be made in Edina.
The City should periodically review the assumptions under which the plan was developed, including estimates of
future development, changing financial resources, citizen and governmental input, and other factors which may
arise, and update the plan as appropriate.
Roadways
• France Avenue – work with Hennepin County to ensure the overall operation and safety of this
roadway, particularly at its interchanges with TH 62 and I-494.
• Gateway redevelopment project area –with a developer to define roadway needs and ensure that
the developer(s) participates appropriately in the funding of improvements.
• East-west connector roadway – continue to coordinate with adjacent communities, MnDOT, and
Hennepin County to discuss and advance this concept (identified on Figure 5.22) as appropriate.
• Jurisdictional Classification – Hennepin County has identified two roadway segments as potential
candidates to turn back to the City. The City opposes these reclassifications. The City should
coordinate as needed with Hennepin County to demonstrate that turning back jurisdictional
authority to the City is not appropriate for the following locations:
o Vernon Avenue/Gleason Road (CSAH 158) between TH 62 and TH 100
o York/Xerxes Avenue (CSAH 31) between I-494 and 50th Street (CSAH 21)
• Review and potentially implement the option of increasing TDM requirements for developers.
Transit
• Continue efforts to establish a park-and-ride facility at TH 100/50th Street.
• Continue to evaluate the feasibility of circulator service focusing on the western portion of the
City, and evaluate the existing CloverRide shuttle service in the Greater Southdale area.
Bicycling and Walking
• Use the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan to identify ongoing bicycle projects for feasibility
review and implementation as warranted.
• Working in conjunction with roadway or other infrastructure improvement projects, construct
sidewalks on an on-going basis consistent with the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan.
Funding
Funding for transportation improvements and programs can be obtained from a variety of sources, as
summarized below:
• General Ad Valorem (Property) Taxes – Transportation projects can be funded with the general
pool of municipal revenues raised through property taxes.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Transportation Chapter Draft 09-30-19
5-61
• State Aid – Cities with populations of greater than 5,000 are eligible for funding assistance from
the Highway User Tax Distribution Fund (funded with the state gas tax and vehicle taxes, as well
as federal transportation funds through MnDOT). These funds are allocated to a network of
Municipal State Aid (MSA) streets. Currently, the City of Edina receives an apportionment per
year for improvements to its MSA streets, which are typically collector roadways higher in
functional classification.
• Federal Transportation Funds – The guidelines for direct federal funding for transportation
projects are established under the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. These
funds are allocated by the Metropolitan Council which serves as the Metropolitan Planning
Organization for the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Roadway, transit, non-motorized, and other
transportation-related projects are selected on a competitive basis based on evaluation,
prioritization, and recommendation by the Metropolitan Council’s Transportation Advisory
Board (TAB). The process of solicitation for project proposals and resulting allocation of federal
funding to selected projects occurs every two years. The next round of solicitation for proposals
will take place in 2019.
• Cooperative Agreements with MnDOT and/or Hennepin County – Different levels of
government can cooperate on planning, implementing, and financing transportation projects
which provide benefits to all the concerned agencies. The financial terms and obligations are
generally established at the front end of the projects.
• Tax Increment Financing (TIF) – This is a method of funding improvements that are needed
immediately by using the additional tax revenue anticipated to be generated because of the given
project’s benefits in future years. The difference between current tax revenues from the targeted
district and the increased future tax revenues resulting from the improvements is dedicated to
retiring the municipal bonds used to finance the initial improvement(s).
• Developer Contributions/Impact Fees – Under this approach, the impact of the additional traffic
from a proposed development on the local roadway system is projected, using standard traffic
engineering procedures. Costs associated with improving the roadway system to handle the
additional traffic at an acceptable level of service are assessed to the developer. This approach
generally involves some level of negotiation between the local government and the developer to
work out a cost-sharing agreement that allows the development to move forward.
• Assessments – Properties that benefit from a roadway scheduled for improvement may be
assessed for the cost of construction. In order to assess the owner, it must be demonstrated that
the value of their property will increase by at least the amount of the assessment.
• Utility Franchise Fees – The City’s Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety (PACS) Fund is one example of
using franchise fees for public improvements. The PACS Fund is generated from franchise fees on
customers of electric and gas utilities in Edina are dedicated to the construction and maintenance
of non-motorized infrastructure.
In addition to these methods, the City should always consider negotiating with business and medical centers to
help fund transportation improvement projects, large or small, which would have direct benefits to those
centers.
Two potential sources of transportation funding have been proposed and discussed for a number of years, but
are not currently allowed under state law. They are:
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Transportation Chapter Draft 09-30-19
5-62
• Road Access Charge – All new developments would be charged based on the trip generation
rates of the given development, without an estimation or documentation of specific traffic impacts
or improvement requirements. It would be analogous to the Sewer Access Charge (SAC) for
access to the Metropolitan Council’s sanitary sewer system. Revenues from this source could be
used to build or improve collector and arterial roadways within the local jurisdiction collecting
the tax.
• Transportation Utility Billing – All properties within the local jurisdiction would be subject to a
periodic fee, based on the number of vehicle trips generated by the type of property. The pool of
funding generated in this manner would be used for community-wide transportation
improvements such as preventive maintenance and road reconstruction. The periodic nature of
the billing would be beneficial in terms of supporting on-going or routine roadway maintenance
projects through the entire network.
The City should continue to support and promote the passage of legislation at the state level which would allow
these forms of dedicated local transportation revenue generation.
Capital Improvement Program
The City has a Capital Improvement Program that is used to guide transportation investments within the
community. The process includes analyzing projects that contribute to the maintenance and improvement of the
transportation network based on the policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. As mentioned, the
prioritization of projects takes place in the City’s Capital Improvement Program and is determined by the City
Council with guidance from the Living Streets Vision, Principles, and Implementation elements.
The City Council updates the Capital Improvement Program biannually to reflect the changing needs of our
transportation network.

6. Parks, Open Space, and Natural Resources
Chapter Highlights
The following six points guided the development
programs, goals and policies presented in this chapter
of the Comprehensive Plan Update.
1. Edina has committed to a minimum of 15 percent
of its land area to be used as parks and green
space. (As of the most recent census, we are right
at this threshold.) Future standards will need
consider “hardscape” environments as
represented in the Greater Southdale District
Plan.
2. All Community and Special Use parks will have an
updated Master Plan to guide use, growth and
future development. Every Park MP will include an
approach to best maintain, improve and promote
its natural resources.
3. Connecting our neighborhoods via a Grand
Rounds concept and in coordination with the
Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan.
4. Be intentional on the use of benchmarking to assess progress against strategic objectives.
5. Explore alternative funding models to support future growth and accomplishment of our Mission.
6. Establish a goal to have park facilities within a maximum distance of one mile from each Edina
resident
Edina Parks and Recreation Department Vision and Mission
The Parks and Recreation Department’s vision and mission are stated in the 2015 Parks and Recreation
Strategic Plan. This policy plan document can be accessed by clicking on the hyperlink below.
https://www.edinamn.gov/315/Park-System-Strategic-Plan
Vision:
To be recognized as having Minnesota’s premier parks, recreation and trail system that provides
unrivaled opportunities to maximize Edina’s quality of life by nurturing the health and well-being of our
people, our community, our environment, and our economy.
Mission:
We create parks, facilities, and programs to foster a healthy inclusive community. We accomplish this
through creative leadership, collaborations, environmentally sustainable practices, and the responsible
use of available resources.
The Major Challenge
Like many communities, Edina is witnessing
demographic changes. Changes that
occurred between 2008, when the last
comprehensive plan was written, and now
are only a glimpse of what is expected to
occur over the next 10 years. In order to
ensure that the City’s park system will
continue to meet the needs of residents,
the City will need to continually provide
sensitive and appropriate responses to
changes in social, demographic,
technological, economic, political and
environmental trends. The magnitude of
these changes will demand flexibility in
planning practices to appropriately respond
to rapidly changing needs.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Parks, Open Space, and Natural Resources Chapter Draft 09-30-19

Introduction
The City of Edina operates one of the most well-regarded parks and recreation systems in the
metropolitan Twin Cities. Edina is a fully developed first ring suburb of Minneapolis with a park system
that continues to be improved with targeted additions and innovative operations. The park system,
comprising the City’s physical park lands, recreation areas, and trails, along with numerous programs
and collaborations with local youth sports associations, greatly contribute to a high quality of life.
The Vision of the Edina Park and Recreation Department (EPRD) is “To strive for excellence in our
parks, recreation and trails system to provide Edina a high quality of life by nurturing the health and well-
being of our people, our community, our environment and our economy.” In fulfillment of that vision,
the EPRD’s Mission Statement is “To create parks, facilities, and programs to foster a healthy and
inclusive community. We accomplish this through creative leadership, collaborations, environmentally
sustainable practices and the responsible use of available resources.”
Inventory and Current Conditions
The National Park and Recreation Association (NRPA)
periodically publishes “Park and Open Space Standards and
Guidelines” for municipal park and recreation agencies to
assist in comprehensive planning. The NRPA suggests that
the “national standards” be used only as a benchmark
guideline, because each community has its own unique
profile in regards to demographics, total acreage, terrain,
climate and a host of other affecting factors. Nonetheless,
Edina currently exceeds the national standard guideline for
acres per 1,000 residents.
The NRPA suggests a national standards guideline of 25 acres per 1,000 residents. This standard would
include all local, county, and state-owned property within the community. There are currently no county,
state or federal park lands in Edina. All 1,565 acres of park land and open space are owned and
maintained by the City of Edina. The City’s 1,565 total park and open space acreage computes to 30.2
acres per 1,000 residents (based on the 2016 Census population of 51,804). Currently, the EPRD oversees
43 parks and open spaces totaling more than 1,565 acres and operates nine facilities, which include:
• Edina Aquatic Center
• Edina Art Center
• Braemar Ice Arena and Sports Dome
• Braemar Golf Courses
• Braemar Golf Dome
• Centennial Lakes Park
• Edinborough Park
• Arneson Acres Park
• Edina Senior Center

Park amenities at these facilities include baseball and soft ball diamonds; football, soccer, and lacrosse fields;
basketball, tennis, pickleball and bocce ball courts; outdoor skating rinks; playground equipment for young
children, including an adaptive playground; a community garden; and both winter warming houses and
summer picnic shelters. The Department also maintains over eight miles of scenic pathways for bicycling,
walking, jogging, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and mountain biking.
Regional Parks and Trails and the 2040 Regional Parks Policy Plan
As stated in the Goals and Policies and section of this chapter, it is a goal to make connections to parks
and trails to ensure that Edina residents have convenient access to recreational facilities and services.
These include regional park and trail facilities both outside and within the City.
The 2040 Regional Parks Policy Plan adopted by the Metropolitan Council in February 2015 is the
metropolitan system plan for regional recreation open space, and there are regional public parks and
facilities in the Twin Cities area that serve Edina residents. For example, Three Rivers Park District
owns and maintains regional parks and trails throughout suburban Hennepin County, such as the Nine
Mile Creek Regional Trail in addition to seven park reserves, 12 regional parks, five special recreation
features, and 15 other regional trails. The Minneapolis Park Board’s Grand Rounds trail system
(including the Chain of Lakes Trail) and the Three Rivers Park District’s Cedar Lake LRT Regional Trail
are regional facilities that are outside the City of Edina but can be accessed by Edina residents.
These regional parks offer a variety of recreation opportunities. For example, Three Rivers Park
District parks offer snowmobiling, horseback riding, boating, archery, camping, canoeing, downhill
skiing, nature centers and historic farm facilities.
The 2040 Regional Parks Policy Plan does not identify
regional park and recreation facilities directly in the
City of Edina, with the following two exceptions:
Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail – Nine Mile Creek
Regional Trail is a 15-mile multi-use trail that spans the
Cities of Hopkins, Minnetonka, Edina, Richfield, and
Bloomington. It also connects to the Lake Minnetonka
LRT, Minnesota River Bluffs LRT, Cedar Lake LRT,
North Cedar Lake, and Nokomis-Minnesota River
Regional Trails as well as the planned Minnesota River
State Trail, Dakota County Big Rivers Regional Trail,
Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge Bloomington
Visitor Center, and Fort Snelling State Park. Much of
the trail was completed and opened for use in 2017.
The Edina segment of the trail was completed in spring
2018.
From the west, it currently enters the City of Edina
from Hopkins over the Bren Road/Londonderry Road
Bridge Interchange at TH-169. From the east, it enters
the City from Richfield at the cul-de-sac of Xerxes
Avenue just south behind Fire Station 2. In 2020 the
Park District anticipates it will construct a safer and
more direct connection under TH-169 that will pass
through the Nine Mile Creek watershed.

Canadian Pacific Rail Regional Trail (CP Rail Regional Trail) – This proposed regional trail was first
identified in the 2030 Regional Parks Policy Plan (adopted in June 2005 as the Southwest Hennepin
Regional Trail West). The regional trail generally follows the existing north/south, Canadian Pacific
Railroad alignment in the City of Edina. Once constructed, it will link the Hyland-Bush-Anderson Park
Reserve in Bloomington to the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail in Edina. From Edina, the future trail
will connect regional trails in Hopkins, St. Louis Park, Golden Valley, and Crystal.
In 2019, Three Rivers Park District completed a regional trail study and master plan for the south
Edina portion of the CP Rail Regional Trail. Figure 6-2, on the previous page, shows the preferred
alignment through this area along Bush Lake Road, Dewey Hill Road, and Cahill Road.

Natural Resource Open Space Areas
The NRPA defines Natural Resource Areas as lands set aside for preservation of significant natural
resources, remnant landscapes, open space, and visual aesthetics/buffering. These lands consist of:
• Individual sites exhibiting natural resources.
• Land that is unsuitable for development but offers natural resource potential. (Examples
include parcels with steep slopes, and natural vegetation, drainage-ways and ravines, surface
water management areas (man-made pond areas, and utility easements).
• Protected lands, such as wetlands/lowlands and shorelines along waterways, lakes, and ponds.
All natural resource open space areas were inventoried and categorized as follows. The City’s
quadrants were determined by the two dividing highways in Edina: TH 62 and TH 100. Table 6.8,
below, presents results of the inventory.

Trends and Challenges
There are numbers of trends that should be considered in the park and recreation planning process. In
this post-industrial age of rapid change, constant monitoring will be required to ensure awareness of
trends that have a bearing on park programming, utilization, and sustainability. In the case of Edina, the
City will need to continually provide sensitive and appropriate responses to changes in social,
demographic, technological, economic, political and environmental trends. The magnitude of these
changes will demand flexibility in planning practices to appropriately respond to rapidly changing needs.
In 2015, the EPR completed a Strategic Plan to guide decision-making, priorities, and plans over the next
10+ years. This chapter of the 2018 Comprehensive Plan is structured around five “Key Development
Areas” that were identified and discussed in the 2015 Strategic Plan. With the “Key Development
Area” as a foundation, content in the Comprehensive Plan has been structured as goals, policy
statements, and action items applicable to policies.
Goals and Policies
The Goals and Policies section is organized around five sections: 1) Parks, Open Space, and Trails; 2)
Natural Resources and Sustainable Parks; 3) Recreational Facilities; 4) Recreational Programs; and 5)
Finance and Management.
Parks, Open Spaces and Trails
Goal 1: Ensure that parks, recreational facilities, and trails are a source
of community pride by providing a balance of well connected, active and
passive spaces that reflect high quality design principles and maintenance
standards and appreciation of the arts; that allow residents to engage in
healthy activities and engage in enriching experiences.
Policy 1-A: The City will devote a minimum of 15 percent of Edina’s
land area to parkland and open spaces.
Policy 1-B: The City will work to meet NRPA guidelines indicating a
need for 15-20 miles of additional trails in Edina.
Edina: A Community of Learning. Edina has a prized education system of high-
quality public schools. The Parks, Open Space, and Natural Resources chapter of the
Comprehensive Plan recognizes the importance of extending the benefits of education to the
entire community through parks-related policies and programming and building on both obvious
and not so obvious linkages between the City’s parks, public schools, Public Works projects,
heritage resources, arts and culture, community health, etc.
For example, the parks can be used as classrooms by the public schools to expose students (and
their parents) to the importance of pollinator gardens and rain gardens. Moreover, informational
kiosks can be installed in the City’s parks that explain how recreational trails and paths are
constructed and how stormwater is filtered in retention ponds.

1995 Revised Inventory Guidance
In 1995, the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) and the Academy of Park and Recreation
Administration (APRA) revised the suggested classifications for parks, recreation areas and open spaces.
The key changes were the inclusion of park-school sites, athletic fields, private park/recreation facilities,
natural resource areas/preserves and greenway classifications. This new classification system states that
there are essentially two types of park and recreation land:
• Privately owned land that contributes to the public’s park and recreation system.
• Publicly owned land.
Examples of privately owned land that contribute to the public’s park and recreation system would include:
• Edina Country Club
• Interlachen Country Club
• Church-owned properties
• Southdale YMCA
• The meadows in White Oaks neighborhood
• Power line easements
• Other miscellaneous privately owned vacant space
These privately-owned spaces and facilities provide the public with valued park and recreation services and
benefits.

7. Water Resources
Highlights
• The City of Edina maintains sanitary, stormwater,
and water utilities to provide essential services to
residents and workers in the city.
• Improvements to the utilities are done according
to established standards to meet expectations for
high quality service.
• Concepts of one water, sustainability, and
conservation guide the City in ongoing
improvements to the systems.
• While the utility system is largely established
citywide, it needs ongoing maintenance and
renewal to continue to function.
• With regular maintenance and planned
improvements, the water resource utilities will
have adequate capacity to accommodate growth
within the city through 2040, consistent with
other sections of the comprehensive plan.
Introduction
Since its founding, the City of Edina has been in the business of creating, owning, operating, and
maintaining infrastructure systems. These systems of public works ensure the health, safety, and welfare
of the community and are central to modern life. The water resources chapter of the comprehensive
plan describes the provision of core municipal services of clean water, sanitation, and drainage and flood
protection provided by the Water Utility, Sanitary Utility, and Stormwater Utility.
Stewards of public works face key business trends of aging infrastructure and preparing for growth. As
infrastructure systems age, the owner’s commitment to reinvest, reimagine, and renew is tested. Edina’s
position as a first ring suburb means being on the leading edge of this trend. Rapid historic development
led to city infrastructure grouped into a tight age cohort, and repair is coming due. At the same time,
redevelopment and infill of aging buildings and localized growth in water service demand in multiuse
business nodes is planned and requires new or upsized pipes and service connections.
Moving forward, there will be continued need to ensure that public and private investment are well
coordinated whenever possible. To meet local and regional goals, the city’s growth should be adequately
supported by water, sewer, stormwater, transportation, and other infrastructure. At the same time, by
building the city’s tax base, new growth will help to pay for ongoing maintenance and rehabilitation costs
for these systems – and assist in maintaining the city’s high quality of life.
Central to Modern Life
Before noon every day, you have likely engaged in many activities that rely on city infrastructure.
Running the water to brush your teeth, taking a shower, preparing food and washing dishes, flushing the
toilet, walking to school, or driving a car; each of these activities utilizes public works. The roads, water,
Water Resource Utilities
The City of Edina provides services
through three municipal utilities:
Sanitary Utility removes
wastewater from residences,
businesses, and institutions for
treatment.
Stormwater Utility maintains
resources and facilities for the
citywide management of
stormwater.
Water Utility treats and supplies
drinking water to residents,
businesses, and institutions.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Water Resources Chapter Draft 09-30-19

sanitary and stormwater infrastructure help provide mission-critical transportation and mobility, public
health, sanitation, and public safety services in the City of Edina.
Our mission is to provide effective and valued public services, maintain a sound public
infrastructure, offer premier public facilities, and guide the development and
redevelopment of lands, all in a manner that sustains and improves the uncommonly high
quality of life enjoyed by our residents and businesses.
Viewed from a historical perspective, public works are a hidden wonder, enabling local and regional
travel, and the movement of goods in times and amounts unimaginable in the past. Similarly, the
availability and abundance of clean water and near elimination of diseases related to poor sanitation and
foul water have saved countless time, expense, and lives.
Making the Invisible, Visible
Public works operate over generations, continuously providing reliable service to residents and
businesses. Given their high reliability, physical infrastructure can fade into the background of life, or be
completely out of sight and out of mind. The mission to “maintain a sound public infrastructure” must
be generational as well, as the life of public works can span hundreds of years.
Every home and business in Edina is served by all or a majority of the city infrastructure. Roads,
sidewalks and trails are the most visible of the infrastructure. While a resident or traveler can see and
feel the bumps in the road, even roads have a hidden depth. Underlain by aggregate base material,
structural soils, and drainage networks, the road is made of a system of intentionally designed parts.
Bridges are another visible, but mostly forgotten infrastructure. While the decorative outer finishes
occupy the imagination, concrete, beams, reinforcing bars, structural soils, and piles carry the load.
Utility infrastructure is even more hidden; seen only by the occasional fire hydrant, manhole, catch basin,
or valve casting, the entire body of the urban landscape pulses with a pumped network of clean water,
oozes with gravity drained sewers, and stands ready with empty storm sewers waiting for the next rain.

Edina: A Community of Learning. Edina has a prized education system of high-quality
public schools. The Water Resources chapter of the Comprehensive Plan recognizes the importance of
extending the benefits of education to the entire community, recognizing that public utilities can
provide opportunities to educate the community particularly about the unseen aspects of the
infrastructure.
Collaborating with Edina public schools and other municipal departments, Public Works could:
• Develop informational signage to include at public utility sites, providing statistics on the type,
capacity, and usage of underground infrastructure
• Create and distribute information about the city’s public utilities, such as the illustration
provided above
Consistent with Edina’s value of education and lifelong learning, there may be opportunities to further
reveal the hidden workings of the City’s utility systems to the public through education and outreach.
This may serve both to inform the public and increase support for investment in these critical systems.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Water Resources Chapter Draft 09-30-19
7-4
Asset Management and Safety
While hidden from the untrained eye, public works are
operated by trained professionals whose duty is the safety
and well-being of the customer. Day to day activities the
public may perceive include paving, concrete repairs, street
sweeping, pothole filling, catch basin or manhole repair,
vacuum truck sewer cleaning, camera truck inspection, light
or electrical repair, and hydrant inspection and flushing.
Visible or not, these ongoing maintenance interventions,
applied by Public Works professionals allow the City of
Edina to operate and maintain infrastructure systems with a
very high reliability, meaning that over the course of a year,
average per capita unplanned outages are minimal,
estimated in seconds of time. Failures, when they happen
often relate to flooding, clogs, and cycles of freeze and
thaw. When service is interrupted, the effect on user
quality of life is immediate, and so is the emergency
response.
In addition to emergency repair and normal maintenance
and operations, staff assesses the condition of
infrastructure systems. Collecting, understanding, and reacting to the changing condition of
infrastructure is becoming more important, because as a system ages, its condition slowly decays.
Managing aging infrastructure assets is a growing challenge that Edina has been addressing as it
reimagines and renews its public works.
The safety and security of Edina’s utility systems are of utmost importance to the City, and systems are
monitored and maintained to ensure that risks are anticipated and addressed. Digitalization of the water
utilities has opened up some cybersecurity risks, alongside the substantial benefits it provides. Edina will
take necessary measures to ensure that cybersecurity risks are adequately addressed, consistent with
state and national standards.
Defining Asset
Management
Asset Management is defined in
ISO55000 as “the coordinated
activity of an organization to realize
value from assets” and an asset as
“any item, thing or entity that has
potential or actual value to an
organization.”
Asset management is further
described by best practice
frameworks from organizations such
as IAM, IPWEA, APWA, and
AWWA.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Water Resources Chapter Draft 09-30-19
7-5
Reimagine and Renew
The link between physical infrastructure and the core services of transportation and mobility, public
health, sanitation, and public safety often comes into the most focus when a project is defined, and
decision makers, users and technical professionals engage in conversations and draw up plans that
reimagine, renew and improve upon the systems that support the services we all enjoy.
Integrating the maintenance of the old with vision for the new, Edina practices an integrated project
scope decision-making process that partners with customers and other stakeholders. These
conversations are guided in this comprehensive plan with an eye toward the future, building the
community’s vision:
Edina holds a well-earned reputation as a city of choice. It is the model of a successful,
mature, and progressive urban community that strives to lead in a modern and evolving
world. We maintain our heritage and attractiveness, and afford our residents the highest
quality of life, while actively embracing our future.
Whether considering a small area with planned growth, or customer expectation for reliability, it is clear
the expectations for infrastructure-derived service continue to grow. Reacting to this change in
expectations, project teams engage project and policy stakeholders to provide specific input, resulting in
finished works that more closely match the vision. Examples of project-specific input include stakeholder
engagement around reconstruction of municipal state-aid roadways or neighborhood streets. Examples
of policy input include testing ideas about bike and pedestrian facilities, sustainable infrastructure, climate
change and adaptation, and living streets at the energy or transportation advisory boards.
One Water
The Water Research Foundation
states “One Water is an integrated
planning and implementation
approach to managing finite water
resources for long-term resilience
and reliability, meeting both
community and ecosystem needs.”
The One Water approach
recognizes the benefits of removing
barriers traditionally separating how
water, wastewater, stormwater, and
water reuse are managed. This
approach increases system
efficiencies and supports
environmental sustainability.

Trends and Challenges
Climate Change and Resilience – While climate change is a global challenge, there are local
implications regarding impacts and policy. The key changes in weather patterns that the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR) Climatologist is predicting include warmer winters with
more freezes and thaws, more extreme precipitation, strong storms and winds, and high summer
humidity. This will affect the health and safety of people and property in Edina, and impact the City’s
approach to managing water resources and infrastructure.
Equity – Increased diversity in Edina’s population has highlighted the need to ensure that equity is taken
into account when providing all City services. This includes ensuring that all residents have accessible
and equitable access to services and facilities. Edina’s Race and Equity Initiative is developing a series of
initiatives related to this goal, to be implemented across multiple city departments.
Community Health – A commitment to the provision of safe, clean drinking water and proper
sanitation are foundational elements of a public health, dating back generations to early public health
reforms. Today a “health in all policies” approach goes beyond that, providing a comprehensive look at
how all public systems impact human health and community livability. In the case of water resources, this
may include looking at how stormwater management facilities can provide additional health benefits
beyond the basic system function.
Conservation and Sustainability – Water conservation has been a long-standing component of an
environmentally sustainable strategy for the community. The newer focus on One Water (defined in the
box above) provides additional tools for more efficiently and sustainably managing water resources.
While water conservation remains a goal, reduced water use may eventually trigger the need to
alternatives sources of revenue for the Water Utility, which bills customers based on usage.
Circular Economy – The concept of a circular economy is an alternative to a traditional linear
economy, where resources are used once and discarded. The difference is that it seeks to keep
resources in use for as long as possible, extracting the maximum value while in use and recovering
materials at the end of service life. Related to this are the concepts of open-loop and closed-loop
systems: the former results in resources eventually being discarded, while the latter results in them
being reused indefinitely.
Conclusion
Public works directly affect the quality of life, health, and safety of the public. They are central to
modern life, but are sometimes hidden from view. The water resources chapter of the Comprehensive
Plan goes into detail about the purpose, current and future condition, and demand, goals, policies, and
implementation framework for each water-related utility and invites the public to take part in the
renewal and reimagination of public works.

Sanitary Sewer
Introduction
This section of the water resources chapter focuses on the Sanitary Utility. The introduction discusses
the purpose of the utility, describes technical service levels and related customer service expectations. A
high-level overview describes the people, equipment, and infrastructure used to provide the service, and
the asset management statement puts programs and infrastructure into a generational context of
lifecycle service delivery. The current and future conditions section provides an overview of
existing conditions, demand, and more detail on the parts that make up the public utility and how it
relates private systems, organizations, and partners and the overall water industry. The goals and
policies section describes the governance structure, policies, and relationships and sets goals to guide
the utility in the next 10 years. The implementation section describes the framework for
implementation using principles of lifecycle management of assets and management of capacity and risk.
The reference section links to plans and studies that provide the body of understanding at the
foundation of the utility and useful tools from the water industry.
Purpose of Plan:
The purpose of this section is to guide the Sanitary Utility by defining the service, detailing goals and
policies, and framing the resources and methods of implementation used to provide for the citywide
removal of wastewater. The plan:
• Defines service levels and relation to citywide policy goals such conservation, resilience,
procurement, and others.
• Provides a framework for the procurement and maintenance of services while managing
risk, and supporting growth.
• Summarizes demand and demand growth with ongoing development and potential
redevelopment within the city and describes how land use impacts the sanitary sewer
infrastructure in the city.
• Describes how the provision of service is provided and how it relates and coordinates
with regional services such as the trunk sewer system operated by Metropolitan Council
Environmental Services (MCES).
• The scope of this plan is the local collection system. The regional collection and
treatment system is owned by the MCES and funded by fees based on percent of system
flow. Because of the interrelation of local and regional systems, the Comprehensive Plan
is a tool to make sure local and regional systems are aligned. This plan has been prepared
in accordance with the current requirements of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act and
the content of the sewer element included in the Local Planning Handbook including data
and descriptions specifically required in the city’s system statement.
Service Levels
The core service of the Sanitary Utility is the removal of domestic, commercial, and industrial
wastewaters to promote sanitary conditions and public health. The service is provided citywide with
minimal risk of interruption.
Customer Service
In the 2017 Quality of Life Survey, Edina residents rated sewer service as 31% Excellent, 57% Good, 11%
Fair, and 14% Poor. The percent positive ranked as 37th among 298 comparable communities by survey
firm Decision Resources. While this is a satisfactory rating, there may be opportunities to increase the
overall rating through improved customer service or facility upgrades.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Water Resources Chapter Draft 09-30-19
7-8
Key customer interactions include billing, hook up and shut off, clogs and failures, flooding or other
backflow events, utility improvement projects, neighborhood street reconstruction projects, and
education and engagement events.
The utility serves residential and businesses customers based on metered domestic flow with rates
described and updated annually in City Code 2-724, with specialized strength requirements on some
industrial users billed by MCES. The service is reliable with service interruption or risk of backflow
typically experienced only sporadically based on clogs, damaged lines, construction activity, or significant
flooding events. Staff manages the utility to reduce risk.
The provision of this service uses natural resources such as materials, energy, and water. Conservation
is promoted in combination with the drinking Water Utility and through the repair of leaks and points of
inflow, and sustainability is promoted through compliance with citywide procurement policy and the
inclining block rate fee structure.
Technical Service Requirements
The sanitary sewer system is managed to provide reliable removal of sanitary wastewater with minimal
risk to residents and businesses. The sanitary sewer treatment practice is highly regulated on the
treatment side, and governed by standards of practice and plumbing code on the collection side. Several
technical studies have reviewed demand and capacity for specific areas of development and summarized
capacity utilization and capacity needs based on planned growth. Utilization and needs are discussed in
more detail in demand section below.
The collection system is managed to improve resilience and reduce or prevent waste and risk caused by
leaks, backflow, inflow, and infiltration.
Means of Provision of Service
Sanitary sewer service is provided primarily using a local system of conveyance pipes, lift stations, and
control infrastructure managed by the City of Edina Engineering and Public Works departments and a
regional conveyance and treatment system managed by public partners at MCES. The system of
infrastructure is described in greater detail in the public utility section below. Programmatic activities
undertaken by supporting staff are described in the implementation section below.
Local Sanitary Sewer System
The local system is owned and operated by the City of Edina and consists of trunk and lateral sewer
lines that collect and carry sewage from private service lines to the City’s sanitary network, and
eventually to MCES interceptors. Private service lines are owned by households, business, and industry.
Generally, the City’s sanitary sewer system flows in an east to southeasterly direction out of the city via
three metered connections to MCES interceptors. Additional flow leaves the city via six other
unmetered minor trunk lines and five small laterals. These pipes flow to surrounding cities and
eventually to other MCES interceptors. There are no MCES interceptors flowing through the city.
Edina’s sewer system is fully developed. The infrastructure that makes up the local sanitary system is
described in more detail in public system section below.
Regional Sewers
Regional sewers are owned and operated by MCES. These local and regional systems must interact
smoothly to ensure safe and reliable service now and throughout the planning period.
Asset Management Statement
Sanitary sewer utility infrastructure assets and relating programs are managed to anticipate and react to
the impact of growth, identify and manage risk, assess condition and take a lifecycle approach to the
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Water Resources Chapter Draft 09-30-19
7-9
operation, maintenance and replacement of system components, and monitor system performance.
These management activities are conducted to provide a valuable public service by continually improving
our operation and infrastructure to meet the level of service expected by the public and defined by
technical service requirements, while minimizing cost and risk.
Current and Future Conditions
This section of the plan will describe system conditions, system demand, support systems and resources,
and relations to private customers and public partners.
Public Utility
The public sanitary sewer system collects wastewater citywide from private service pipes and conveys
them to MCES sewer interceptors using a system of pipes and pumps with regular manhole access
locations.
Assets
The local sanitary sewer system is owned and operated by the City of Edina. Regional sewers are owned
and operated by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES). The local system is made up
of 194.2 miles of gravity main, 5014 manholes, 4.5 miles of pressure main, and 23 lift stations. The
majority of the sewage flows easterly and leaves the city along its eastern border via interceptors that
are shown on Figure 7.1. A small amount of sewage flows to the north into St. Louis Park through four
smaller pipes that carry no more than one block each. Finally, there is a small section of commercial and
industrial land along the southern border of the city that flows south into Bloomington via interceptor
3-BN-499.
The majority of the system was constructed in the 1940’s and 50’s, with some development occurring in
the west half of the city during the 1960’s and 70’s. In the 1990’s, one of the last large tracts of land was
developed creating the Centennial Lakes neighborhood. The Edina sanitary sewer system currently
serves almost all properties within the city. The only exceptions to this are areas served by nearby
communities and several remaining locations that are served by Individual Sewage Treatment Systems
and regulated by Hennepin County.
The City’s sewer system has been divided into five main sewer districts which are shown on Figure
7.2. Four of the districts are associated with MCES interceptors based on the meter and interceptor to
which they flow. The fifth is a catch-all group in the northern part of the city that includes all of the small
areas that do not flow to one of the other four interceptors. The system is further divided into
subdistricts based on lift station service. Each area that is tributary to a given lift station has been color-
coded. Lift station subdistricts are depicted on Figure 7.3 by a system of colors.

Organization and Partners:
Internal departments tasked with management of the Sanitary Utility are the Engineering and Public
Works Departments. These two functional departments employ engineers, operators, technicians, and
administrative staff to run the utility. These functional departments are supported by the Finance
Department, Utility Billing division, Administration and Human Resource Departments. Utility
connections and acquisition of developer-installed new infrastructure are supported by the Planning and
Building divisions of the Community Development and Fire Departments.
Key external partners in the provision of sewer services include the electric power utility, MCES,
engineering professional service providers, utility general contractors, state regulators, and
nongovernmental water industry associations.
MCES provides regional conveyance and treatment for all city wastewater, and their pass-through costs
make up a majority of a customer’s sanitary sewer bill. All effluents exiting the City are carried through
MCES interceptors to the Metro Wastewater Treatment Plant, except those from south-central Edina
that flow via an MCES interceptor through the City of Bloomington to the Seneca Wastewater
Treatment Plant. The MCES interceptors that carry Edina wastewater are identified as Interceptor Nos.
1MN-343, 1-MN-344, 1MN-345, 1RF-490, 1RF-491, and are depicted on Figure 7.1, Sanitary Sewer
Map.
The MCES monitors flow rates at the border of the city in three of the main interceptors in special
meter stations that it uses to determine the City’s wastewater fees. Most of Edina’s sewage flows
through metered connections to these interceptors. The metered interceptors include 1-RF-491, which
is served by MCES meter M129; 1-RF-490, which is served by meter M128; and 1-MN-345, which is
served by meter M127. The remainder of the city’s sewage flows through interceptors 1-MN-344, 1-
MN-343, and 1-MN-342.
Tools, Equipment, Facilities
The Engineering and Public Works Departments rely on
tools, equipment, and facilities procured and maintained by
the Facilities and Fleet support divisions of Public Works
and the Communications and Technical Services
Department. System models are maintained by partner
engineering professional service providers.
Demand
Wastewater is created through a variety of water uses,
from flushing, cleaning, cooking, washing, the creation of
industrial products, and other business practices. Sewer
demand is related to water use and constituents of the
wastewater. Demand varies with the intensity and type of
land use and how the water is used. For the local
conveyance system, volume and rate flow are primary
concerns, and for the regional conveyance and treatment
system both volume and strength, or difficulty to treat to
clean water standards are notable concerns.
Inflow and Infiltration
Inflow and infiltration (I&I) is clean
water that enters the sewer system
through cracks, leaks, or other
openings. Most inflow comes from
stormwater and most infiltration
comes from groundwater.
I&I may cause of sanitary sewer
overflows and backups, and
contribute to increased wastewater
treatment costs and rates.
The City of Edina is required by the
Metropolitan Council to develop
and implement a strategy to reduce
I&I in its sanitary sewer system.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Water Resources Chapter Draft 09-30-19
7-14
Existing Demand
Annual historic sanitary flows decreased between 1980 and 2015, as can be seen in Table 7.1. The
decrease is a result of a number of factors, including the City’s efforts to reduce inflow and infiltration
and increased water conservation efforts as low-flow plumbing fixtures become more prevalent.

Future Demand
Future demand growth focuses around areas of potential growth. Current system evaluations conducted
by Barr Engineering include: Southeast Edina Sanitary Sewer Preliminary Engineering (April 2017),
Grandview Analysis (January 2018), and the Edina South Sanitary Sewer Capacity Evaluation (August
2018). Evaluation was conducted as part of an AUAR process for Pentagon Park by WSB and Associates
(2008, updates in 2013, 2018). Links to each document are available in the appendix to this chapter.
Private System
Every home and business service connection to the Sanitary
Utility is owned by a private property owner. While widely
dispersed, the system of service connections and the
internal private plumbing of customers affects the outcomes
of the Sanitary Utility. Private system connection and good
working order are regulated, permitted, and enforced
directly through the Building Department and state and
local partners.
State and Local Partners
Regulation of connections, operator certification and
training, planning for growth, plumbing code and plumbing
licensing, and environmental standards and regulation all
affect the outcomes of the Sanitary Utility and involve the
Minnesota Department of Health, Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency, Department of Labor and Industry, MCES,
and others. The City of Edina takes an active role in policy
and regulation advocacy directly and through partner
professional associations.
Service Line Warranty
Program
Edina’s Service Line Warranty
Program offers water, sewer, and in-
home plumbing insurance to utility
customers. It is currently provided
through a private insurance
company. The City Council
endorsed this program on
November 1, 2016. It is
recommended as an option to help
residents whose water and sewer
lines aren’t covered by their
homeowners insurance. The
program is entirely optional, but
may help people avoid expensive
repair costs in the event of a break
or failure.

Goals and Policies
This chapter describes how the Sanitary Utility supports the mission and vision of the City of Edina, the
governance of the utility, key local policy and regulation, and ten-year strategic goals.
Service Level Statement
The Sanitary Sewer Utility will provide safe, reliable, and efficient removal of wastewater for residents
and customers in the City of Edina, while eliminating risk of inflow, infiltration, and backflow to protect
the health, safety, and welfare of our citizens now and into the future.
Role and Responsibility of Council and Management
The City Council is the policy body for the utility and is responsible to set the strategic and policy
direction of the utility. The City Council is responsible and accountable to the customers of the utility
and appoints and evaluates the chief executive. The City Council sets the budget and capital
improvement direction of the utility, defines policy and code that define service and risk, levies fees,
issues bonds, accepts or disposes of real estate, approves contracts with service providers, and hears
appeals on enforcement matters.
The City Manager is the chief executive of the three water utilities. The chief executive is ultimately
responsible for the function of the utility and delegates areas of responsibility to various City
Departments. Divisions of responsibility are shared and split among City Departments.
Utility management for the Sanitary Utility is jointly practiced with the Water and Stormwater Utilities
with close coordination of local transportation system management.
Policy and Regulation
A variety of policies and ordinances apply to the sanitary utility.
Policies:
The following policies support the function of the utility.
• Monitor sewage flow at principal metering points to insure capacity of the system.
• Monitor function and condition of the local system through both televising lines and
electronic utility data collection.
• Eliminate points of inflow and infiltration to the system on public property, and require
elimination of inflow and infiltration on private property.
• Maintain operating efficiency and minimize sewage blockages through routing
maintenance.
• Reduce potential for inflow and infiltration in private systems during plan and permit
review.
• Review all sanitary sewer mains and services prior to reconstructing any roadway.
• Enforce standards and inspections for private sewer line connections to the public
sanitary sewer system.
• Repair pipes immediately upon detection of a failure or critical defect.
• Continue to eliminate private on-site sewage systems (only several remaining).
• Identify all future sanitary sewer facility improvements in the Capital Improvement Plan.
• Maintain and enforce the following ordinances and new ones adopted that deal with the
sanitary system.
• To the extent possible, engineers should differentiate between renewal/replacement and
new/upgrade in project reports.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Water Resources Chapter Draft 09-30-19
7-18

infrastructure, land use, and other topics related to the utility.
• Chapter 10: Building and Building Regulation o Article 9: Regulating plumbing and installation of water conditioning equipment
o Article 10 Requiring connection to sanitary and water systems and regulating
discharge into the sanitary sewer system
• Chapter 24: Public right of way and easement
• Chapter 28: Utilities
• Chapter 36: Zoning o Article 3 Site Plan Review o Article 12, Supplementary District Regulations
10 Year Strategic Goals
The following goals areas represent areas of strategic importance to the utility.
• Goal Area 1: Aging infrastructure and management of assets over generations
• Goal Area 2: Conservation and sustainability, one water
• Goal Area 3: Preparing for areas of growth
• Goal Area 4: Risk, health, equity, and engagement
Implementation
This section addresses specific projects and day-to-day tasks that City staff undertake to implement the
business of the utility and serve the customer. Some tasks have been ongoing for many years and simply
represent the high quality of service that the City has always provided to its population, while others are
new initiatives that are the City’s response to recent development.
Lifecycle Asset Management
Sanitary sewer service is provided primarily with infrastructure. The following section describes the
coordinated activities that the City of Edina undertakes to provide value to the customer. These
coordinated activities seek to balance service, cost and risk over the generational lifecycle of
infrastructure.
Operations
Operations are actions that sustain, modify, alter, or regain system function and provide service or
manage risk. System operation is conducted primarily by the trained and certified utility operators from
the Public Works Department.
Typical operations consist of a variety of activities such as flow monitoring, pumping, routine inspection,
routine care of high touch system components, CCTV inspection of pipes, root cutting, jetting and
vactoring of debris, backup failure analysis, and other activities.
Much of the system operation is automated by a system of computerized controls, sensors, level
monitors, flow monitors, and other devices.
Emergency operations: The three highest risk Lift Stations (in terms of potential back up flooding) are
equipped with onsite generators that automatically engage upon Xcel failure. All other Lift Stations are
equipped with quick connect plugins for portable generators that can be rotated between sites as
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Water Resources Chapter Draft 09-30-19
7-19
necessary. Two combination Jet/Vac trucks can also be utilized to empty wet wells and reestablish
detention time if needed. Two large capacity portable pumps could also be utilized for bypass pumping
as well.
The following programs support operation and maintenance decisions:
• Jet-cleaning program for all lateral collection piping. Each pipe is cleaned on a four-to-five
year revolving schedule. The main trunk sewers are not included in the cleaning program
since they receive regular scouring velocities from normally occurring peak flows and the
flushing from cleaning in the laterals.
• Televising trunk lines and laterals for operation and condition assessment. Each pipe is
televised on a 12-year revolving schedule to help determine areas in need of cleaning and
improvements.
Maintenance
Maintenance is any action that repairs or retains the
physical infrastructure assets to meet projected service
levels. System maintenance is conducted primarily by the
trained and certified utility operators from the Public
Works Department.
Typical maintenance consists of replacement of worn
manhole lids, grouting of manhole rings, spot repair of
leaks, spot repair of pipes, refurbishment or replacement
of pumps, refurbishment or replacement of electrical
control components, replacement of other worn or
damaged system components, and other minor
maintenance.
Renewal and Replacement
Renewal and replacement are major repair or replacement
of assets at or near the end of their service life. This
activity is conducted by the engineers, technicians, and
inspectors in the Engineering Department or by consulting engineers, and typically occurs in parallel with
the City’s neighborhood street reconstruction program and municipal state aid reconstruction program,
or are completed as standalone utility projects.
Replacement and renewal projects are bundled by age cohort of road and utility infrastructure. System
components are inspected and conditions assessed to inform project replacement and repair
interventions. Engineers produce project reports and recommend project scope to the City Council.
Projects are bundled and bid for reconstruction and contracts are considered by the City Council.
Bundling of projects is favorable to goals of efficiency and customer service by generating efficiency of
scale and timing needed renewal around the disruptions caused by a single project.
Renewal and replacement decisions assume the infrastructure service remains the same or is replaced
with current industry standard materials and components. Typically, projects mix scope between
renewal and replacement, and new and upgraded service.
“Flushable” Wipes
While biodegradable, disposable
wipes do not break down the same
way as toilet paper does. As as
result, they tend to clog residential
and municipal sewer pipes. This can
overburden the system, and cause
increased repair and maintenance
costs. This in turn can increase
utility rates, as well as potential
repair costs for homeowners.
Even though these wipes are
marketed as flushable, it is
recommended that residents do not
flush them down the toilet.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Water Resources Chapter Draft 09-30-19
7-20
New and Upgraded Assets
New and upgraded assets are either entirely new areas or levels of service, or major improvements to
the marginal level of service provided by infrastructure. This activity is generally conducted by engineers,
technicians, and inspectors in the Engineering Department, or by engineers employed by private
developers as part of land use, community development, or economic development projects.
Other Programs
Programs and activities managed by partner organizations and various city departments affect outcomes
of the utility. The following is a noncomprehensive summary of related programs and activities.
Demand Management / Source Control
• The conservation rate tiers in City ordinance are key conservation and demand
management practices for the utility.
• State and national plumbing code are key conservation and demand management tools
that are reducing per capita flow.
• The MPCA dental amalgam separator program is a key source control for mercury.
• The City effort to reduce infiltration and inflow is a demand control, and is described in
greater detail in the risk management section below.
Assurance, Condition Assessment, System Monitoring, Modeling
Many business practices and their associated systems that are otherwise classified as operations also
provide assurance of system function:
• SCADA controls and monitoring
• Periodic inspection and operation
• System planning and design
The sanitary sewer system is modeled on an occasional basis and that model is occasionally recalibrated
with flow monitoring data. The model is used to review flow trends and test scenarios of system
changes due to growth and other notable modifications to system function.
Risk Management, Resilience
The following programs or business practices manage risk associated with the utility:
• City emergency response command
• Gopher State One Call Utility / locates
• Right of Way management
• Connection permits
• Fats/Oils/Grease (FOG) source controls
• Private connection program as part of reconstruction
• Parking garage inspections
• City risk management, and League of Minnesota Cities insurance trust
• City conservation and sustainability programs
• The system of backup power for key pump stations, and mobile power reserve
• Flood control works and activities in the city Stormwater Utility
• Two additional programs are described in greater detail due to their
significance:infiltration and inflow program and sump disconnection inspections.
Infiltration and Inflow (I&I) Program
A key risk management approach for the sanitary utility is the identification, reduction, or elimination of
infiltration and inflow. The following is a summary of past infiltration and inflow reduction efforts:
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Water Resources Chapter Draft 09-30-19
7-21
• Donohue 1983, CH2M 1992, TKDA Sewer Evaluation 1997, Barr Engineering flow
modeling and metering 2006, 2012, Bolton and Menk Trunk Sewer Infiltration Study 2013
• Post 1997 study I&I projects: o All buildings within the City were inspected for potential clear water connection.
Buildings with sump pump systems were inspected for clear water connections.
o A 325,000 gallon peak flow storage tank was installed in the sewer shed tributary
to interceptor 1-MN-345.
• 2012, 14, 17 MCES I&I reduction grant projects
The following strategies are used to reduce I&I risk:
• Replacement of vented manhole covers with solid water tight covers.
• Removal of surface drainage cross connections.
• Repair of manhole frames that have separated from rings in concrete street sections.
• Replacement or lining of dilapidated brick manholes with new precast manholes.
• Installation of chimney seal systems on manholes that have evidence of inflow characteristics.
• Complete relining or replacement of sewers constructed in low areas subject to frequent
inundation, such as along creeks and wetlands.
Private Connections and Sump Cross Connection
One of the main sources of inflow continues to come from private connections. One of those sources is
the connection of lower levels of parking ramps to the sanitary sewer. Though upper levels of ramps are
connected to the storm sewer, lower levels are connected to the sanitary sewer. When runoff events
exceed the capacity of the upper level collection systems, it often simply flows to the next level down
where it runs directly into the sanitary sewer. Similarly, if flood waters enter lower levels of the ramp,
they can inflow directly into the sanitary system. Edina is working with private developers to prevent
this from occurring on future proposed ramps and, in some cases, to correct existing ramps where this
is known to be a problem.
Another key component to inflow and infiltration is related to private services. Metropolitan Council
Environmental Services estimates that as much as 70% of all I&I comes from private sources. As already
noted, the City has completed a successful sump pump program. However, in addition to the sump
pumps, many of the private sanitary sewer service laterals are old and susceptible to I&I.
Education, Outreach, and Engagement
The understanding, support, consent, and participation of customers and stakeholders are key to
building the brand of the utility and city, and affect customer goodwill and outcomes. The following
programs and activities support the education, outreach, and engagement goals of the City and the
operation of the utility.
• Customer service interactions
• Utility billing
• Communications and Technology Service Department maintained tools and platforms
• City outreach and engagement practices
• Public Works Week proclamation and biennial public works open house
• Occasional infrastructure tours
Organizational Improvement
The following review includes potential actions for each strategic goal area identified in the goal and
policy section above.

Stormwater Utility
Introduction
This section of the water resources chapter focuses on the Stormwater Utility. The introduction
discusses the purpose of the utility, and describes technical service levels and related customer service
expectations. A high-level overview of means describes the people, equipment, and infrastructure used
to provide the service, and the asset management statement puts programs and infrastructure into a
generational context of lifecycle service delivery. The current and future conditions section provides an
overview of existing conditions, demand, and more detail on the parts that make up the public utility and
how it relates to private systems, organizations and partners and the overall water industry. The goals
and policies section describes the governance structure, policies, and relationships and sets goals to
guide the utility in the next 10 years. The implementation section describes the framework for
implementation using principles of lifecycle management of assets and management of capacity and risk.
The reference section links to plans and studies that provide the body of understanding at the
foundation of the utility and useful tools from the water industry.
Purpose of Plan
The purpose of this section is to guide the Stormwater Utility by defining the service, detailing goals and
policies, and framing the resources and methods of implementation used to provide for the citywide
management of stormwater. The plan:
• Defines service levels and relationship to citywide policy goals such conservation, resilience,
protection, procurement, and others.
• Provides a framework for the procurement and maintenance of services while managing risk and
supporting development.
• Summarizes demand and demand shifts with ongoing development and potential redevelopment
within the city and describes how land use impacts the stormsewer infrastructure in the city.
• Recognizes the interconnected nature of surface water and groundwater, promoting
management strategies that protect and improve lakes, ponds, streams, and wetlands, as well as
the City’s drinking water source through the Wellhead Protection Plan (WHPP).
• Describes how service is provided and how it relates and coordinates within the watershed
framework. The relationship of flood and clean water services to the regional creeks, lakes, and
rivers, and how programs and services coordinate and overlap with those of the Nine Mile
Creek Watershed District and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.
• The scope of this plan is the local drainage network, the local conveyance and treatment system
that makes up the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4), and the local system of
natural water bodies such as wetlands, streams, and lakes that connect and drain to Nine Mile
Creek, Minnehaha Creek, and downstream lakes and ponds like Bde Maka Ska or Adams Hill
Pond.
This plan is informed by the City of Edina Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan
(CWRMP) and that plan is incorporated by reference.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Water Resources Chapter Draft 09-30-19
7-25
History of the CWRMP
In 2003-2004, the City developed the Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan to address current
and future stormwater issues, especially those related to future development and redevelopment. The
plan addressed stormwater runoff management and flood control, water quality management, and
wetlands protection through establishment of stormwater planning policies and recommendations.
This plan was developed to assist the City of Edina in defining and implementing a comprehensive and
environmentally sound system of surface water management. The plan was updated in 2008 as part of
the last comprehensive plan, and again in 2011 to conform to changes in the policies of the Minnehaha
Creek Watershed District and the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District plans. To inform this update of
the comprehensive plan, the CWRMP was again reviewed, updated, and adopted in 2018.
Service Levels
The core services of the Stormwater Utility are drainage and management of runoff and flood risk, clean
surface waters, and protection of natural waterbodies and wetlands. The purpose and interactions
among the service levels is described in greater detail in CWRMP section 3.
The services are improving citywide with some risk of disruption, and are increasingly better
understood using hydraulic and hydrologic models and risk management principles.
Customer
In the 2017 Quality of Life Survey, Edina residents rated storm drainage as 27% Excellent, 53% Good,
16% Fair and 4% Poor. The percent positive ranked as 26th among 328 comparable communities by
survey firm Decision Resources. Residents rated street cleaning as 24% Excellent, 56% Good,16% Fair
and 5% Poor. The percent positive ranked as 43rd among 300 comparable communities with a
statistically significant disparity in service geographically where 95% in the southwest quadrant and 71%
in the northwest quadrant rated the service as excellent or good. While this is a satisfactory rating,
there may be opportunities to increase the overall rating through improved customer service or facility
upgrades.
Key customer interactions include customer service requests and permit interactions around residential
redevelopment and the lakes and ponds program, flooding and failures, utility improvement projects,
neighborhood street reconstruction projects, and education and engagement events.
The utility serves residential and businesses customers citywide with billing based on customer class /
land use flow equivalences, with the rate of billing updated annually in City Code 2-724. Customers also
pay for services provided by local watershed districts in their property tax.
The provision of this service uses natural resources such as materials and energy. Conservation is
promoted in combination with the educational mission of local watershed districts, through customer
engagement broadly, and in the lakes and ponds program specifically. Sustainability is promoted through
interrelated planning and project implementation with transportation services as part of the Living
Streets Plan, the creation of green infrastructure directly and through permitting, and compliance with
citywide procurement policy.
Technical
The stormwater system, natural waterbodies, and land use activities are managed to provide the three
core services while reducing risk to residents and businesses. Portions of the stormwater infrastructure
are regulated through the MS4 and by the watershed districts, while programs and activities are
regulated depending on their impact to specific types of waters at a state and federal level. Because
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Water Resources Chapter Draft 09-30-19
7-26
regulation and expectations have changed in a relatively recent time compared to the age of the
infrastructure, there are significant service deficits and some overlapping or conflicting regulations.
The CWRMP has reviewed service demand trends and levels of achievement in greater detail. Typical
redevelopment improves service as areas of land go from minimal infrastructure and treatment to
modern systems.
Means of Provision of Service
Stormwater services are provided using a combination of infrastructure, programs, and land use
regulation directly and in coordination with local and state partners. Local systems are managed by the
City of Edina Engineering and Public Works departments and the two main creeks are managed by
public partners at the watershed districts.
Some services relating to flood risk are managed jointly with the Sanitary Utility and some services
relating to clean water and pollution prevention and managed jointly with the Water Utility through the
Wellhead Protection Plan.
Asset Management Statement
Stormwater Utility infrastructure assets and related programs are managed to: understand and react to
service level deficits, identify and manage risk, assess condition and take a lifecycle approach to the
operation, maintenance and replacement of system components, and monitor system performance.
These management activities are conducted to provide a valuable public service by continually improving
our operation and infrastructure to improve the level of service experienced by the public and defined
by technical service requirements, while minimizing cost and risk.
Current and Future Conditions
The City of Edina and its residents value the surface water resources within the city, which include two
creek systems, a number of lakes and ponds, and numerous wetlands (see Figure 7.4). In addition to
being a major component of the City’s flood protection and surface water treatment system, these
resources supply aesthetic and recreational benefits and provide wildlife habitat and refuge. The
northeast corner of the city drains to Minnehaha Creek, which enters the city limits northwest of West
44th Street and T.H.100 and flows in a southeasterly direction through the city, exiting near West 54th
Street and York Avenue. The southwest corner of the city drains to the South Fork of Nine Mile Creek,
which meanders through the Braemar Golf Course and then exits the city limits toward Bloomington at
West 78th Street. The remainder of the city drains to the North Fork of Nine Mile Creek, which enters
the Edina city limits in the northwest corner of the city north of the intersection of T.H. 169 and
Londonderry Road and flows in a southeasterly direction through the city, exiting to Bloomington near
the intersection of T.H. 100 and Interstate 494.
The City of Edina encompasses portions of two watershed districts: the Nine Mile Creek Watershed
District and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (see Figure 8.2.1). Watershed districts are local
units of government that specifically address the management and protection of water resources based
on hydrologic boundaries instead of political boundaries. Each District is governed by a Board of
Managers, comprised of citizens appointed by the boards of the counties with land in the watershed
district. The districts are charged by State statute “to conserve the natural resources of the state by
land use planning, flood control, and other conservation practices using sound scientific principles for
the protection of the public health and welfare and provident use of the natural resource.” Because
these watershed districts are granted authority to regulate, conserve, and control the use of water
resources within the district, the City is required to comply with the specific stormwater and water
resource related requirements of each District.

The City of Edina places a high importance on providing quality stormwater management service to its
residents. Since the City of Edina has been a developing community throughout much of the past
century, the age and condition of the existing stormwater infrastructure is quite variable. Additionally,
Public Utility
The stormwater system is public stormwater system collects, treats, drains, retains and/or detains water
from public facilities, public transportation infrastructure, private properties, and outflow from private
stormwater systems citywide. The systems also convey outflows from natural water bodies and routes
them to downstream waterbodies.
Assets
The local stormwater system is owned and operated by the City of Edina, and portions of the system
are interconnected into systems owned by Hennepin County or neighboring cities. The system is made
up of 127 miles of gravity main ranging from 12-84” in diameter, 6800 manholes, 900 outlets, 38 miles of
small diameter sump drain, 11 stormwater lift stations, one half mile of stormwater force main, 150
ponds and wetlands, and numerous sediment traps. The majority of the system was constructed in the
1940’s through 60’s, with significant additions and extensions occurring after that period. Much of the
treatment infrastructure was added later and much is privately owned with maintenance declarations in
favor of local watershed districts. The system is extensively mapped and modeled in the referenced
CWRMP.
Organization and partners
Internal departments tasked with management of the Stormwater Utility are the Engineering and Public
Works Departments. These two functional departments employ engineers, operators, natural resource
and engineering technicians, and administrative staff to run the utility. These functional departments are
supported by the Finance Department, Utility Billing division, Administration, and Human Resource
Departments. Land use permitting and acquisition of developer-installed new infrastructure are
supported by the Planning and Building divisions of the Community Development and Fire Departments.
Key external partners in the provision of stormwater services include the Nine Mile and Minnehaha
Creek Watershed Districts, engineering and natural resources professional service providers, utility and
natural resources contractors, state regulators, and nongovernmental water industry associations. Lake
association customer groups also make requests for service.
Tools, Equipment, Facilities
The Engineering and Public Works Departments rely on tools, equipment, and facilities procured and
maintained by the Facilities and Fleet support divisions of Public Works and the Communications and
Technical Services Department. System models are maintained by partner engineering professional
service providers.
Demand
The city and watershed districts have implemented conventional stormwater quality treatment
requirements since the late-1980s, typically in the form of stormwater detention ponds and
underground storage and infiltration chambers. Regional detention ponds, while generally encouraged by
the City for their efficiency of scale, have been hard to organize, due to the developed nature of the
area. Stormwater detention ponds are effective for removal of sediment and phosphorus from
stormwater runoff.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Water Resources Chapter Draft 09-30-19
7-29
In recent years, stormwater quality treatment trends have shifted to incorporate volume reduction of
stormwater runoff, in addition to the removal of sediment and phosphorus. This movement comes in
response to both the desire of citizens and local governments to embrace the challenge of protecting
our urban surface water resources and changes in regulation. Stormwater volume reduction can be
accomplished by reducing the fraction of impervious surface on a site and/or installing infrastructure to
increase rainfall abstraction processes such as infiltration, evaporation, water storage, and vegetation
management.
Future Drivers
Existing demand and trends that drive changes in demand are discussed below for flood and clean water
service areas.
Storm Drainage and Flood Protection: Key drivers adding demand for drainage and flood risk are cyclical
wet periods, increasing rainfall peaks and frequencies due to climate change, and increasing urbanization
leading to changing land uses that add hardscape and change soils and grades.
Clean Surface Waters: Key drivers adding demand for surface water including changing expectation and
regulation. The federal Clean Water Act (CWA) requires states to adopt water quality standards to
protect the nation’s waters. Water quality standards designate beneficial uses for each waterbody and
establish criteria that must be met within the waterbody to maintain the water quality necessary to
support its designated use(s). Section 303(d) of the CWA requires each state to identify and establish
priority rankings for waters that do not meet the existing water quality standards. The list of impaired
waters is updated by the State every two years. For impaired waterbodies, the CWA requires the
development of a total maximum daily load (TMDL), which establishes the pollutant loading capacity
within a waterbody and develops an allocation scheme amongst the pollutant contributors, which
include point sources, non-point sources and natural background pollutants.
Private Systems
Nearly every home and business drains to Stormwater Utility or has a service connection from a private
system to the utility. While widely disbursed, the system drains, overland flow paths, catch basins, and
service connections connect the land use of the private customers directly to the utility and affects the
outcomes of the Stormwater Utility. The land use of private property, certain high impact or polluting
activities, private system connection, and other activities are regulated, permitted, and enforced directly
through the Community Development, Building, and Engineering Departments and by state and local
partners.
State and Local Partners
Regulation of connections, construction, grading, work within waters, operator certification and training,
planning for growth, plumbing code and plumbing licensing, and environmental standards and regulation
all affect the outcomes of the Stormwater Utility and involve the Minnesota Department of Health,
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Department of Labor and Industry, Department of Natural
Resources, Watershed Districts, and others. The City of Edina takes an active role in policy and
regulation advocacy directly and through partner professional associations and nonprofit groups.

Goals and Policies
The City’s Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan addresses storm water runoff
management and flood control, water quality management, and wetlands protection through
establishment of water resource management goals, policies, and design standards. The City’s plan is
required to conform with the existing watershed district plans and is modified through major and minor
amendments as needed.
Service Level Statement
The Stormwater Utility will provide drainage of surface waters, management of rainfall runoff and flood
risk, reduction of water pollution, treatment of stormwaters, and protection of natural water bodies and
wetlands to provide outcomes supportive of local, state and national surface water goals and policies.
The purpose and interactions among the service levels is described in greater detail in the CWRMP.
Role and Responsibility of Council and Management
The City Council is the policy body for the utility and is responsible to set the strategic and policy
direction of the utility. The City Council is responsible and accountable to the residents and customers
of the utility and appoints and evaluates the chief executive. The City Council sets the budget and capital
improvement direction of the utility, defines policy and code that define service and risk, levies fees,
issues bonds, accepts or disposes of real estate, approves contracts with service providers, and hears
appeals on enforcement matters.
The City Manager is the chief executive of the three water utilities. The chief executive is ultimately
responsible for the function of the utility and delegates areas of responsibility to various City
Departments. Divisions of responsibility are shared and split among City Departments.
Utility management for the Stormwater Utility is jointly practiced with the Water and Stormwater
Utilities with close coordination of local transportation system management.
Policy and Regulation
Policies of the Stormwater Utility are defined in greater detail in the referenced CWRMP.
The following ordinances govern public and private utility service, connections and related
infrastructure, land use, and other topics related to the utility.

A brief summary of the management goals in the City of Edina Comprehensive Water Resource
Management Plan is provided below. Additional information on the policies and design standards can be
found in the latest version of the City’s plan.
10 Year Strategic Goals
The following goals represent areas of strategic importance to the utility.
• Goal Area 1: Prioritization of service levels and rates of attainment.
• Goal Area 2: Conservation and sustainability, one water
• Goal Area 3: Aging infrastructure and management of assets over generations:
• Goal Area 4: Risk, health, and equity
Implementation
This section addresses specific projects and day-to-day tasks that City staff undertake to implement the
business of the utility and serve the customer. Some tasks have been ongoing for many years and simply
represent the high quality of service that the City has always provided to its population, while others are
new initiatives that are the City’s response to recent development.
Lifecycle Asset Management
Stormwater service is provided using extensive infrastructure.
The following section describes the coordinated activities that
the City of Edina undertakes to provide value to the
customer. These coordinated activities seek to balance
service, cost, and risk over the generational lifecycle of
infrastructure.
Operations
Operations are actions that sustain, modify, alter, or regain
system function and provide service or manage risk. System
operation is conducted primarily by the trained and certified
utility operators from the Public Works Department and
natural resource technicians in the Parks Maintenance
division.
Typical operations consist of a variety of activities such as
routine inspection, routine care of high touch system
components, CCTV inspection of trouble pipes, jetting and
vactoring of debris, care of vegetation, failure analysis, and
other activities.
Emergency operations:
The 5-year rotating inspection program supports operation
and maintenance decisions.
Maintenance
Maintenance is any action that repairs or retains the physical
infrastructure assets to meet projected service levels. System maintenance is conducted primary by the
Grey and Green
Infrastructure
Stormwater is more than just pipes
and ponds. It’s also plants!
Gray infrastructure – including
sewer pipes, reservoirs, and
treatment plants – plays a central
role in collecting, conveying, and
treating wastewater and stormwater
prior to discharge.
Green infrastructure – including
vegetation, open space, and natural
landscapes – complement and make
grey infrastructure more cost-
efficient. Green stormwater
infrastructure replicates natural
hydrologic processes, reducing
runoff by absorbing and filtering
stormwater. Green infrastructure
may also serve as a community
amenity and recreational area.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Water Resources Chapter Draft 09-30-19
7-32
trained and certified utility operators from the Public Works Department and natural resource
technicians in the Parks Maintenance division.
Typical maintenance consists of replacement of worn manhole lids, grouting of manhole rings, spot
repair of pipe, refurbishment or replacement of pumps, refurbishment or replacement of electrical
control components, replacement of other worn or damaged system components, replacement of plant
material, and other minor maintenance.
Renewal and Replacement
Renewal and replacement are major repair or replacement of assets at or near the end of their service
life. This activity is conducted by the engineers, technicians, and inspectors in the Engineering
Department or by consulting engineers, and typically occurs in parallel with the City’s parks
development projects, neighborhood street reconstruction program, municipal state aid reconstruction
program, or are completed as standalone utility projects.
Replacement and renewal projects are bundled by age cohort of road and utility infrastructure or are
added to the scope of new infrastructure projects. System components are inspected and conditions
assessed to inform project replacement and repair interventions. Engineers produce project reports and
recommend project scope to the City Councils. Projects are bundled and bid for reconstruction and
contracts are considered by the City Council.
Bundling of projects is favorable to goals of efficiency and customer service by generating efficiency of
scale and timing needed renewal around the disruptions caused by a single project.
Renewal and replacement decisions assume the infrastructure service remains the same or is replaced
with current industry standard materials and components. Typically, projects mix scope between
renewal and replacement, and new and upgraded service.
New and Upgraded Public or Private Assets
New and upgraded assets are either entirely new areas or levels of service, or major improvements to
the marginal level of service provided by infrastructure. This activity is generally conducted by engineers,
technicians, and inspectors in the Engineering Department, or by engineers employed by private
developers as part of land use, community development, or economic development projects.
Other Programs
Programs and activities managed in partner organizations and various City departments affect outcomes
of the utility. The following is a noncomprehensive summary of related programs and activities.
Pollution Source and Hydrologic Control
• Pollution prevention activities associated with the MS4 permit, street sweeping program,
and the Water Utility’s Wellhead Protection Plan.
• Land use regulation in the zoning code and limitations on building hard cover.
• Land use permitting at the City and Watershed levels.
• Grading and erosion control requirements at State, Watershed, and local levels.

Drinking Water Utility
Introduction
This section of the water resources chapter focuses on the
Water Utility. The introduction discusses the purpose of the
utility, describes technical service levels and related customer
service expectations. A high-level overview of means describes
the people, equipment, and infrastructure used to provide the
service, and the asset management statement puts programs
and infrastructure into a generational context of lifecycle
service delivery. The current and future conditions section
the water system’s current operating conditions will be
established along with historical water use trends from the last
10 years. Future water use trends will be projected to the year
2040, and potential infrastructure challenges that may arise will
be identified. More detail on the parts that make up the public
utility and how it relates private systems, organizations, and
partners and the overall water industry are also included in this
section. The goals and policies section describes the
governance structure, policies, and relationships and sets goals
to guide the utility in the next 10 years. The implementation
section describes the framework for implementation using
principles of lifecycle management of assets and management of
capacity and risk. The reference section links to plans and
studies that provide the body of understanding at the
foundation of the utility and useful tools from the water
industry.
Purpose of Plan
The purpose of this section is to guide the water utility by
defining the service, detailing goals and policies, and framing the resources and methods of
implementation used to provide for the citywide distribution of water. The plan:
• Defines service levels and relation to citywide policy goals such conservation, resilience,
procurement, and others.
• Provides a framework for the procurement and maintenance of services while managing
risk and supporting growth.
• Summarizes demand and demand growth with ongoing development and potential
redevelopment within the city and describes how land use impacts the water utility
infrastructure in the city.
Service Levels
The core services of the water utility are: the delivery of safe and healthy waters to promote public
health, the delivery of water for commercial and industrial uses, and the availability of water for fire
suppression. These services are provided citywide with minimal risk of interruption. A secondary service
of the water utility is the delivery of water for irrigation and other nonessential uses.
Water Utility Facts
The City of Edina’s existing water
system consists of 5 storage
facilities, 18 active groundwater
wells, 4 water treatment plants, and
a pipe distribution system.
Historical data shows that the
average day water demand has been
decreasing.
Projections indicate additional
storage will be required to meet
future water use demands.
The City is considering water
system improvements including an
additional water treatment plant,
changes to Dublin Street Reservoir
operation and storage capacity, and
water main upgrades and
replacements.
Demand increases by xx% during
the summer to accommodate
outdoor use.

Customer Service
In the 2017 Quality of Life Survey Edina residents rated drinking water as 28% Excellent, 41% Good,
18% Fair and 1% Poor. Drinking water received lowest marks for hardness and taste and highest marks
for reliability and appearance. The percent positive ranked as 176th among 300 comparable communities
by survey firm Decision Resources. While this is a satisfactory rating, there may be opportunities to
increase the overall rating through improved customer service or facility upgrades.
Key customer interactions include billing, hook up and shut off, water main breaks or service line
freezing events, utility improvement projects, planned and unplanned outages, neighborhood street
reconstruction projects, and education and engagement events.
The utility serves residential and businesses customers based on metered domestic flow with rates
described and updated annually in City Code 2-724, with specific irrigation meters for residential and
industrial customer classes. The service is highly reliable with service interruption or risk interruption
typically experienced only sporadically based on deep frost, construction activity, main breaks, or
significant power outage or drought. Staff manages the utility to reduce risk.
Technical Service Requirements
The water utility is managed to provide highly reliable service, and clean and safe water to residents and
businesses. Water treatment and distribution practices are regulated and governed by state law,
standards of practice, and plumbing code. Recent technical studies reviewing demand, capacity, water
source protection, and water quality include:
• Wellhead Protection Plan (Sourcewater Solutions 2011 and 2013) – This plan focuses on
improving the sustainability of the City’s water supply. It identifies the vulnerability of the
water supply, and potential contaminants that could impact the water quality. The plan
also includes actions to reduce the likelihood of contamination and alternate water
sources in the event of an emergency.
• Water System Master Plan (SEH 2018) – This plan details the historical water use data,
projects future water use trends, and identifies potential areas for system improvements.
A computer model of the City’s water distribution system was created to aid in
determining existing operating conditions and plan for future developments under
different system conditions.
• Water Treatment Plant 5 Preliminary Engineering Report (AE2S 2017)
Means of Provision of Service
Water service is provided primarily using a system of local wells, treatment plants, pumps, distribution
main, service lines, control and metering infrastructure. The system is managed by the City of Edina
Engineering and Public Works Departments. The system of infrastructure is described in greater detail
in the public utility section below. Programmatic activities such as water system monitoring, disinfection,
and wellhead protection are described in the implementation section below.
Asset Management Statement
Water utility infrastructure assets and relating programs are managed to: anticipate and react to the
impact of growth, identify and manage risk, assess condition and take a lifecycle approach to the
operation, maintenance and replacement of system components, and monitor water quality and system
performance. These management activities are conducted to provide a valuable public service by
continually improving our operations and infrastructure to meet the level of service expected by the
public and defined by technical service requirements, while minimizing cost and risk.

Current and Future Conditions
The City’s public water system provides water to the majority of Edina’s residential and commercial
areas. Within the city, a few residential and commercial areas are served by other public water suppliers
due to their proximity to surrounding cities. The cities that service areas within Edina are Bloomington,
Eden Prairie, Minneapolis and St Louis Park. Surrounding cities also provide Edina with interconnections
that can be utilized in emergency situations where an alternate water supply is needed.
Public Utility
The public water system pumps, treats, filters, stores, meters, and delivers waters to private service
connections citywide. Water for fire suppression is stored and made available at public and private fire
hydrant connections located citywide.
The sections below details rates of flow in gallons per minute (GPM), million gallons of storage (MG),
millions of gallons of water per day (MGD), and describes average day (AD) and maximum day (MD)
demands. Some system constraints and improvement options are discussed and more detail can be
found in goals and policies section, and the Water System Master Plan (SEH 2018).
Assets
Assets are used to supply, treat, store, distribute, connect to, and meter water. The existing water
system is made up of 220 miles of pressure main ranging from 4-16” diameter, nearly 5000 service
valves, 2000 hydrants, 13800 metered service connections, 4 tower storage facilities, 1 ground
reservoir, 18 groundwater wells, and 4 water treatment plants.
Table 7.3 shows the 4 elevated storage tanks and 1 groundwater storage tank utilized in the City’s
distribution system. The 4 elevated storage tanks have a combined storage capacity and usable storage
capacity of 3.0 MG. The Dublin Reservoir is limited to a 2,000 GPM output by the pumps over a 24 hour
time period. Therefore, the reservoir only has a usable storage of 2.88 MG even though the storage
capacity is 4.0 MG. The City has a total usable storage capacity of 5.88 MG.

Eighteen wells are utilized to supply groundwater to the City as shown in Table 7.4. Water pumped
from each well receives fluoride for public health and wellness purposes, chlorine for disinfection, and
polyphosphates to prevent pipe corrosion. Many of the wells supply water to the water treatment plants
for additional treatment. However, a few wells provide water directly to the distribution system.
Well #14 is no longer used as a water supply. However, it is used as an irrigation well at Braemar Golf
Course.

The City currently has 4 water treatment plants that provide additional treatment before sending the
water into the distribution system as shown in Table 7.5. All 4 plants utilize a pressure filter for iron
and manganese removal.
The majority of the water distribution and storage systems were constructed in the 1950’s through 70’s,
with treatment system being added and expanded later. Wells were added as demand grew, and all well
systems have been through multiple lifecycles as pumps are replaced on a more frequent basis, and wells
are redeveloped as their flow decays.
Organization and Partners
Internal departments tasked with management of the water utility are the Engineering and Public Works
Departments. These two functional departments employ engineers, operators, technicians, and
administrative staff to run the utility. These functional departments are supported by the Finance
Department, Utility Billing division, and Administration and Human Resource Departments. Utility
connections and acquisition of developer-installed new infrastructure are supported by the Planning and
Building divisions of the Community Development and Fire Departments.
Key external partners in the provision on water services include the electric power utility, local water
utilities for emergency interconnect and for areas of service in the city but not provided by the utility,
engineering professional service providers, utility general contractors, the Met Council, the Minnesota
Department of Health, state regulators, and nongovernmental water industry associations.
Tools, Equipment, Facilities
The Engineering and Public Works Departments rely on tools, equipment, and facilities procured and
maintained by the Facilities and Fleet support divisions of public works and the Communications and
Technical Services Department.
Demand
Water demand is viewed in a variety of time steps, and each affects system requirements. For example:
In several seconds a water main may be required to flow to provide water for fire suppression, in

several minutes a tower or well may provide water to match a peak hour’s ramping system demand, for
periods of hours wells may run and storage systems empty or fill to meet demand during a peak summer
drought over the course of days or months an aquifer pressure may lower or rise due to intense
summer demands, low winter demands, rainfall and infiltration, and finally over years or decades an
aquifer may rise and fall based on regional trends in water use and aquifer recharge.

Average 6.8 14.9 2.20
Table 7.6 shows historical data from the last 10 years identifying water use trends in the average daily
demand (AD), maximum daily demand (MD), and maximum daily peaking factor.
The AD demand has been exhibiting an overall decreasing trend over the last 10 years, with the
exception of 2012 which was a drought year. The maximum and minimum AD demands were 7.59
MGD (2012) and 6.03 MGD (2016) respectively. The decreasing trend can be attributed to daily
conservation efforts and replacing outdated plumbing fixtures with more conservative fixtures.
The MD demand has widely varied over the last 10 years. The maximum and minimum MD demands
were 18.75 MGD (2009) and 12.70 MGD (2015) respectively. The MD demand can vary depending on
seasonal conditions. Hot and dry summers will often result in larger MD demands.
The MD peaking factor is the MD demand divided by the AD demand. The MD peaking factors have
remained relatively stable over the last 10 years. The maximum and minimum MD peaking factors were
2.47 MGD (2009) and 1.93 MGD (2010) respectively. A recent trend of high rainfall has partially
influenced water use as can be seen in the water use trends. Though the City has realized a steady
growth in population and redevelopment, water use has remained flat and has even declined as of late.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Water Resources Chapter Draft 09-30-19
7-42
Water conservation, both active (conservation programs) and passive (change in water user habits) may
also have had an influence on recent water use trends.
Future Demand
Future population and water use trends were projected through the year 2040 as seen in Table 7.7.
The City’s population was projected based on data from the Metropolitan Council and interpolation.
The AD demand was calculated by multiplying the population by the average per capita demand
determined from the historical data. The AD demand was then multiplied by the selected MD Peaking
Factor determined from the historical data.
The projections indicate that the AD demand has the potential to increase to approximately 9.9
MGD. As part of the 2018 water supply plan update, the City’s water storage needs were evaluated.
Using the selected sizing criteria of water storage with 2040 projected demands, the following future
water storage needs can be estimated. Recommended Water Storage (Criteria 2) = 12 hour AD supply
(4.95 MGD) plus fire storage (0.63 MGD) plus equalization storage (1.7 MGD) equals 7.3 MG
recommended storage volume compared to a current usable volume of 5.9 MG and nominal
storage volume of 7.0 MG. It is recommended that the projected water storage shortage can be
addressed by increasing the usable volume of the Dublin tank and increasing elevated storage available.
This could potential be accomplished by replacing the Community Center water tower (0.5 MG) with a
larger storage tank (1.0-1.5 MG).
The projected MD demand has the potential to reach 22.3 MGD by 2040. The City’s firm well
capacity (capacity with two largest wells out of service) should be larger than the projected MD demand.
Under existing conditions, the City is capable of pumping 20.4 MGD with the largest two wells out of
service, therefore, the production capacity growth is required to meet projected demands or additional
conservation measures will be needed.

order are regulated, permitted and enforced directly through the Building Department and state and
local partners.
State and Local Partners
Regulation of connections, operator certification and training, regional planning for growth, plumbing
code and plumbing licensing, and environmental standards and regulation all affect the outcomes of the
Water Utility and involve the Minnesota Department of Health, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency,
Department of Labor and Industry, Met Council, and others. The City of Edina takes an active role in
policy and regulation advocacy directly and through partner professional associations.
Goals and Policies
This chapter describes how the Water Utility supports the mission and vision of the City of Edina, the
governance of the utility, key local policy and regulation, and ten-year strategic goals.
Service Level Statement
The Water Utility will provide safe, reliable, and efficient water for residents and customers in the City
of Edina, reliable and available water for fire suppression, and water for nonessential uses when
provision would not create undue risk, while treating contaminants, reducing the risk of contamination,
and improving our operations to protect the health, safety and welfare of our citizens now and into the
future.
Role and Responsibility of Council and Management
The City Council is the policy body for the utility and is responsible to set the strategic and policy
direction of the utility. The City Council is responsible and accountable to the customers of the utility
and appoints and evaluates the chief executive. The City Council sets the budget and capital
improvement direction of the utility, defines policy and code, levies fees, issues bonds, accepts or
disposes of real estate, approves contracts with service providers, and hears appeals on enforcement
matters.
The City Manager is the chief executive of the three water utilities. The chief executive is ultimately
responsible for the function of the utility and delegates areas of responsibility to various City
Departments. Divisions of responsibility are shared and split among City Departments.
Management for the Water Utility is jointly practiced with the Sanitary and Stormwater Utilities with
close coordination of local transportation system management.
Policy and Regulation:
A variety of local policies and ordinance apply to the water utility.
Policies
• Provide the City’s water customers with safe, high quality potable water. o Meet or exceed all Federal and State drinking water standards. o Provide treatment or replace existing wells with contaminants that exceed EPA
Maximum Contaminant Levels.
• Provide sustainability of the City’s water system through preservation and conservation. o Protect the City’s existing sources of supply by implementation of the Wellhead
Protection Plan.
Edina Comprehensive Plan

o Continue to implement a conservation-oriented water rate system that charges
increasing fees for increasing use of water.
o Continue to provide education regarding conservation though mailings, website,
newspaper, and public involvement.
• Provide a reliable water system that can provide a safe supply of water during
emergencies.
o Continue the relationship with adjacent communities to provide interconnections
for emergency needs. o Continue to complete water main looping of dead ends to improve available fire
flow to customers.
• Continue to improve the quality of water throughout the distribution system by pursuing
solutions to water quality complaints. o Implement a unidirectional flushing program throughout the system.
o Continue to replace sections of aging water mains in areas with water quality
and/or hydraulic deficiencies.
• Implement new technologies including pipe bursting and cleaning and lining to limit full
reconstruction of utilities.
Ordinances
The following ordinances govern public and private utility service, connections and related
infrastructure
• Chapter 10: Building and Building Regulation
o Article 9: Regulating plumbing and installation of water conditioning equipment
o Article 10: Requiring connection to sanitary and water systems and regulating
discharge into the sanitary sewer system
• Chapter 24: Public right of way and easement
• Chapter 28: Utilities
• Sec. 36-1273: Utility buildings and structures.
10 Year Strategic Goals
The following goals areas represent areas of strategic importance to the utility.
• Goal Area 1: Aging infrastructure and management of assets over generations
• Goal Area 2: Conservation and sustainability, one water
• Goal Area 3: Preparing for areas of growth
• Goal Area 4: Risk, health, and equity
Implementation
This section addresses specific projects and day-to-day tasks that City staff undertake to implement the
goals and policies laid out in this plan. Some tasks have been ongoing for many years and simply
represent the high quality of service that the City has always provided to its population, while others are
new initiatives that are the City’s response to recent development.
Lifecycle Asset Management
Water service is provided primarily with infrastructure. The following section describes the coordinated
activities that the City of Edina undertakes to provide value to the customer. These coordinated
activities seek to balance service, cost and risk over the generational lifecycle of infrastructure.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Water Resources Chapter Draft 09-30-19
7-45
Operations
System operation is conducted primarily by the trained and certified utility operators from the Public
Works Department. Typical operations consist of a variety of activities such as flow monitoring,
pumping, routine inspection, routine repair, or replacement of high touch system components.
Much of the system operation is automated by a system of computerized controls, sensors, level
monitors, flow monitors, and other devices.
Emergency operations: All four WTPs have onsite generators equipped to automatically transfer power
upon loss of Xcel service. All well sites are equipped with quick connect plugins for use with portable
generators. In case of catastrophic failure or compromised water safety, the City of Edina has
interconnects with municipal supplies from Eden Prairie, Hopkins, St. Louis Park, Minneapolis and
Bloomington. Staff is currently exploring the feasibility of adding an interconnect with Richfield, possibly
to be constructed in 2019-20.
Maintenance
Maintenance is any action that repairs or retains the physical infrastructure assets to meet projected
service levels. System maintenance is conducted primarily by the trained and certified utility operators
from the Public Works Department.
Typical maintenance consists of replacement or refurbishment of values, hydrants, pumps, electrical
components, spot repair of leaks, spot repair of pipe, replacement of other worn or damaged system
components, and other minor maintenance.
Renewal and Replacement
Renewal and replacement are major repair or replacement of assets at or near the end of their service
life. This activity is conducted by the engineers, technicians, and inspectors in the Engineering
Department or by consulting engineers, and typically occurs in parallel with the City’s neighborhood
street reconstruction program and municipal state aid reconstruction program, or are completed as
standalone utility projects.
Replacement and renewal projects are bundled by age cohort of road and utility infrastructure. System
components are inspected and conditions assessed to inform project replacement and repair
interventions. Engineers produce project reports and recommend project scope to the City Council.
Projects are bundled and bid for reconstruction and contracts are considered by the City Council.
Bundling of projects is favorable to goals of efficiency and customer service by generating efficiency of
scale and timing needed renewal around the disruptions caused by a single project.
Renewal and replacement decisions assume the infrastructure service remains the same or is replaced
with current industry standard materials and components. Typically, projects mix scope between
renewal and replacement, and new and upgraded service.
New and Upgraded Assets
New and upgraded assets are either entirely new areas or levels of service, or major improvements to
the marginal level of service provided by infrastructure. This activity is generally conducted by engineers,
technicians and inspectors in the Engineering Department, or by engineers employed by private
developers as part of land use, community development, or economic development projects.
The City is continuously planning to for future expansions and updates so the water system can grow
and change with the City. A few projects the City has been planning are the addition of Water
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Water Resources Chapter Draft 09-30-19
7-46
Treatment Plant 5, operation and storage improvements at Dublin Street Reservoir, and continuing to
add and update the water main throughout the city.
The City plans to add Water Treatment Plant 5 to improve the quality of water coming from wells #5
and #18, and increase the treatment capacity of the system. It will be a pressure filter water treatment
plant for the removal of iron and manganese, and is planned to have a treatment capacity of 2.88 MGD.
Under existing conditions, the Dublin Street Reservoir has 2.88 MG of usable storage capacity, but has a
storage capacity of 4.0 MG. The City is reviewing different options to improve the usable storage
capacity and operation a Dublin Street Reservoir.
As the City plans for road construction and additional development, they are reviewing each project to
determine if it is feasible to include water main replacements and upgrades. Including these upgrades and
replacements will aid improving water quality by replacing unlined cast iron pipes, and reducing the
quantity of unaccounted water.

Chapter Highlights
• The people in the City of Edina strongly value building and
maintaining a sustainable environment, although that has
not always been matched by actions.
• The City of Edina will take actions to address climate
change, including greenhouse gas reduction and solid
waste reduction.
• Climate change will have an increasing impact on Edina, as
evidenced by a recent United Nations report.
• The City intends to learn from the experience of
implementation since the last comprehensive plan, to
build a stronger foundation to implement its values.
• The City will make sustainability a foundational element of
its decision-making process.
• The decision-making process should also take into
account the goal of an equitable distribution of benefits.
Introduction
The people in the City of Edina strongly value building and maintaining a sustainable environment. Each
development decision must consider the ‘triple bottom line’ – people, planet and profit – so that the
economic factors are not favored over the health and welfare of the city’s natural environment and/or
its residents in present and future decisions.
The City of Edina supports an environmental policy approach that positively impacts the community. In a
recent citywide visioning process, environmental stewardship was identified as one of seven key
strategic focus areas for the City. Vision Edina states: “Community residents and stakeholders believe
that Edina can take an active and ambitious internal and regional leadership role in embedding
environmental stewardship principles through actions such as promoting more comprehensive recycling,
smart building and energy efficiency practices.”
• This includes clean energy, reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, clean water,
responsible management of solid waste, clean air, transportation, ecological health, and
wise management of natural resources.
• This means actions throughout the city which includes all parts of the city: city
operations, commercial, industrial, and residential.
• This addresses tradeoffs that occur when working to meet multiple goals, including
environmental, fiscal/economic, and quality of life.
• This proactively pursues resiliency and adaptation in the face of a changing climate.
This chapter outlines existing conditions and progress to date as well as a framework for
recommendations for the future to ensure the economic and environmental health of the community.

Background:
Edina’s Commitment to Sustainability
History
From the early 1970’s, with the establishment of its first
Environmental Quality Commission, Edina has sought to be on
the forefront of environmental and natural resource issues.
The past decade has included significant action in that area,
particularly around energy and climate change topics.
The City of Edina established a citizen Energy and Environment
Commission (EEC) in 2007 to promote sustainability initiatives
and to advise the City Council. The commission is comprised
of Edina residents focused on specific sustainability topics. The
commission creates a work plan annually, and recent focus has
been on carbon emission reduction.
Since its founding, the EEC has overseen several sustainability
initiatives, as summarized in the sidebar to the right. An early
focus has been on municipal facilities, looking for opportunities
for the City to lead by example.
In 2007, the City Council set specific goals related to
greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction: 15% reduction by 2015, 25%
reduction by 2025, and 80% reduction by 2050 (based on the
state 2007 Next Generation Energy Act). These goals were
incorporated in the city’s 2008 comprehensive plan. When the
2015 goal was not met, this was a wakeup call to do more.
The Conservation and Sustainability Fund was created to fund
a dedicated resource to manage and measure carbon
reduction actions.
An important tool in meeting future goals was the
development of an energy action plan, to jump-start a citywide
effort towards energy efficiency. In 2016, the City worked with
the Partners in Energy program to complete its Electricity
Action Plan, the first element of this plan, to begin its strategy
for energy use reduction. Additional action plans are
anticipated to be completed in the following years, as outlined
in this plan.

What We Have Learned
The past decade has shown that the strong values and intentions of Edina to pursue environmental
sustainability have not always been demonstrated in decisions and results. Therefore, the EEC seeks to
learn from past experiences to support a renewed approach moving forward.
This chapter takes from a 2008 experience and builds on it. In 2008, Edina was the first city in the
metropolitan area to include environmental action in its comprehensive plan. In 2018, Chapter 10 seeks
to summarize the framework created since 2008 for taking environmental action:
• Sustainability actions will focus on key subject areas. To date, those areas include energy,
water, solid waste, air quality, natural habitat, trees, and environmental contamination.
• Environmental decisions and actions vary across different sectors of the community: City
municipal operations, residents, other governmental bodies, and commercial and
industrial businesses.
• The City of Edina will take actions affecting all of these actors and, most importantly, lead
by example.
It is our intent that future Energy and Environment Commissions use this chapter to frame their
annual work plans. Building on the past experience of the EEC, we direct future EECs to advise
the City to:
• Meet existing goals of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) and waste reduction.
• Set new goals with community input to address climate change.
• Continually learn about environmental best practices and integrate those into action
plans.
• Educate the community about the environment and sustainability.
• Leverage areas where the environment intersects with other commissions.
Edina: A Community of Learning. Edina has a prized education system of high-quality
public schools. The Energy and Environment chapter of the Comprehensive Plan recognizes the
importance of extending the benefits of education to the entire community.
The work of City staff and the Energy and Environment Commission includes educating the public
about best practices related to environment and sustainability. This covers what the public can do to
support community goals regarding environmental quality and energy use. For instance, education
about climate change can strengthen support for city goals and actions to address its impacts on the
community.

Existing Conditions, Trends, and Challenges
Climate Change – The urgency of action on climate change has been emphasized by an October 2018
report by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This report asserts that
unprecedented changes are needed within the next 12 years to keep rising temperatures in check and
thereby lessen severe climate and weather impacts. While climate change is a global challenge, there are
local implications regarding impacts and policy. Addressing this will require coordinated change on many
fronts including reduction of emissions, promotion of alternative energy sources, and alterations in
consumption patterns and waste production and management. This action will extend over multiple City
departments and commissions.
Climate Resilience – Resilience is defined as the ability to absorb and respond to stresses, and to
adapt and evolve accordingly. The key changes in weather patterns that the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources (MN DNR) Climatologist is predicting include warmer winters with more freezes
and thaws, more extreme precipitation, strong storms and winds, and high summer humidity. This will
affect the health and safety of people and property in Edina, including increased risk from ice, flooding,
and pests such as mosquitoes. The City will need to mitigate climate impacts on the community to
maintain a safe and desirable community. Developing a resilience strategy will include identifying and
responding to climate vulnerabilities in the community, in terms of both people and resources.
Leading by Example – The City of Edina can set an example for sustainability best practices through
its own operations and facilities. It will be important to look at the complete lifecycle of purchases and
processes to determine the opportunities to meet sustainability goals and improve the community’s
health and resiliency. This will need to be done through a triple-bottom line lens, which identifies the
true financial, environmental, and societal costs to allow productive discussion and decision making
about the level of commitment needed. While there have been some significant steps in this direction,
including the hiring of a sustainability coordinator and the completion of an electricity action plan, the
data show that there is a still a long way to go to live up to the City’s goals and aspirations.
Energy – Sustainability best practices support continued energy efficiency and expanded use of
alternative energy sources which replace large GHG emissions sources. Costs for renewable energy
have reduced significantly at a commercial level. The cost of wind is on parity with coal generation.
However, there are still issues regarding the availability and affordability of renewable energy generation
on small residential scale (solar photovoltaic systems on a home). Conversion to renewables cannot be
done overnight as there is significant infrastructure investment around current energy generation that
will take time and resources to replace. Additionally, continued focus on efficiency use of energy
generated will be critical to reducing emissions and keeping costs down. Data on Edina’s energy
consumption patterns, included in the following charts, shows that the city consumes energy at a fairly
high rate with significant room for efficiency and reduction. The missing years reflect a gap in the
available data.

Solid Waste – Sustainability also leads to an increased focus on a reduce/reuse/recycle approach to
resources – with the goal of reducing overall waste generated. Undifferentiated waste in landfills,
particularly organic waste, creates methane gas which is a primary contributor to climate change.
Additionally, siting new landfills is increasingly costly and undesirable for communities. For these
reasons, it is critical to address different waste streams, seek best practices and new technologies to
reduce solid waste. This includes segregating the waste streams for the most sustainable outcome. The
market for materials continues to change which makes recycling complex. These macro level systems
will be challenging for a small community, like Edina, to change. However, education and behavior
changes for city operations, residents, and businesses to alter their purchasing and disposal practices will
be critical for successful recycling and waste reduction. In particular, education is needed on reducing
waste contamination of the recycling stream, to ensure a higher percentage of recyclables collected can
be processed cost-effectively.
Natural Habitat – Much of the land in Edina has been removed from its original ecological and natural
function to make way for human development. While development impacts will remain, there are
opportunities to retain, restore, and connect natural habitat areas within the city. A fuller picture
emerges when looking at how this developed area fits into the larger ecological context of the region.
Impacts on the city’s tree canopy due to single-family home development, and pests such as the emerald
ash borer, need to be addressed.
Water – Water quantity and quality must be wisely managed to deliver core services of drinking water
distribution and source protection, sanitary sewer service, flood protection, runoff management, and
clean surface water (lakes, creeks, ponds, and wetlands). Climate change and land use decisions have the
biggest impacts on the resilience of our water resources systems. See Chapter 8 for more information
and direction on water resources. The energy-water nexus is an important issue for sustainability as
well: water treatment and transportation takes a considerable amount of energy, so reduction in water
usage can reduce energy usage as well.
Density and Development – On the regional scale, it is generally more sustainable for development
to be located in developed communities that are well-served by infrastructure, rather than on the
outskirts where undeveloped land is being consumed and infrastructure is being created and extended,
creating a larger carbon footprint. However, at the local level, as the City considers development and
density options it must consider local impacts to the environment. Meeting the carbon reduction goal
will necessitate discussions on tradeoffs in development, density, and their carbon impacts. For example,
density can provide a lower carbon footprint per resident and new development can be more energy
efficient. But increasing the population through density may increase the community’s overall carbon
footprint (though possibly not at a per capita level). Stopping density within the city will not solve
sustainability problems and meet sustainability goals, but accommodating growth does require
investigation of ways to grow more sustainably, and to seek to decouple carbon increases from
economic growth.
Youth Activism – Climate change will impact youth and young adults much more than older
generations. As a result, there is growing concern and activism among young people in Edina around the
issue of climate change. Youth will need to be involved in the discussion and decision-making process to
ensure their views are taken into consideration. The role of student members on the EEC is an example
of this.
Attracting New Residents – Many young adults and families are taking green and sustainable values
into account when deciding where they will live. To continue to attract young people and families to the
community, it is important for the City to demonstrate a commitment to these values.

Financial Stewardship – A comprehensive approach to sustainability also includes a financial element.
Strategic and timely investments in the short term may preclude much larger expenses later. One key
element of this is identifying the lifecycle cost of investments – for example a larger up-front capital cost
may at times be justified by lower operations and maintenance cost over the life of an investment. This
should be taken into account in decision making.
Ongoing Data Needs – Particularly with regards to its commitment to GHG and waste reduction
goals, the City will need to continually monitor data regarding environmental and climate conditions,
energy usage, water usage, waste production, recycling participation, travel behavior, and other factors.
The City of Edina’s participation in the Regional Indicators Initiative
https://www.regionalindicatorsmn.com/ provides access to a regularly updated data source that can help
inform the City’s decisions. Additional information sources may be linked on the City’s website as well,
as they are identified.
Recommendations and Strategies
Recommendations
The City will lead in sustainability both by example and by taking the lead role where possible.
The City will plan for resilience regarding climate change.
Future EECs will build on past experience.
The City will meet or exceed its GHG reduction goals and solid waste reduction goals.
Future EECs will continue to research and educate the community on environmental best practices.
Strategies
The following section summarizes the strategies used to implement the above goals. More details and
examples of best practices can be found in a section at the end of this chapter.
Utilize a myriad of tools available. There are different tools for the City to use and support
the community’s goals. The right tool depends on the need and targeted outcome:
• Policy – The City will focus through staff and commission to amend and approve policies and
its regulatory framework in order to support sustainable actions, meet sustainability goals, and
meet the needs of the community.
• Education – The EEC encourages the City to connect on policies and learn best practices. We
will use opportunities with city staff, EEC, organized neighborhoods, neighbor-to-neighbor, and
business organizations to promote sustainable actions.
• Alliances – Edina is a part of a larger community. It is important to build alliances across City
Commissions, with Edina School District, Chamber of Commerce, Hennepin County, and other
government entities within the region to connect on policies, learn best practices, and share
resources.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Energy and Environment Chapter Draft 09-30-19
8-9
• Measurements – Develop and utilize existing tools for benchmarking and metrics to monitor
and reach stated goals.
Understand there are different actors and their roles and impact on sustainability varies:
• City operations and budget decisions – City facilities, capital budget, operating budget, and operating
decisions will lead by example and commit resources to achieving our sustainability goals through its
own facilities and operations.
• Commercial and industrial facilities – In addition to private businesses, this includes non-city owned
government and nonprofit entities, as well as multifamily and mixed-use development. Work with
these entities to address sustainability through design, construction, and operations.
• Single family residential – Work with single family residential communities, residents, and developers
to address sustainability.
Incorporate sustainability into land use decisions:
Decisions on land use and development are one of the main ways the City can influence
sustainability in the community. From the beginning of the process, land use and development
review should incorporate sustainability as a primary consideration when making decisions.
There are key areas to focus sustainable action:
• Energy – The City will consider energy resources and reduction and their impact on our city’s
goals. Continue to look for opportunities for renewable energy sources, including solar.
• Water – Water is governed by the water chapter (see Chapter 7 for more information).
• Solid Waste – Encourage all to think of their waste footprint, use the waste reduction pyramid
(i.e. rethink, reduce, reuse, recycle), and anti-littering to reduce waste and its impact on the
environment. As we manage waste (i.e. trash, recyclables, and organic recyclables), continue to
find ways for reduction via pick up options, hazardous waste, green demolition, sharing
economy, and the circular economy.
• Air Quality – Promote clean energy and other actions to improve air quality such as reducing
transportation emissions.
• Trees – Tree canopy has many stacked benefits (carbon sequestering, reduction in heat island
effect, storm water mitigation, supporting wildlife, etc.). Review policy and actions that support
tree canopy and benefits.
• Natural Habitat – Consider other natural resources such as soil, biodiversity, and sunlight.
• Environmental Contamination – Monitor sources of contamination of nonpoint source
contaminants like runoff, pet waste, pesticide, and fertilizer use.

Goals and Benchmarks
Goals are our way to prioritize actions, get resources, and measure our actions. Meeting these goals will
require trade-offs between various city priorities, though this chapter asserts that sustainability should
be a major consideration in all decisions. The need for the city to address environmental and
sustainability issues is urgent and important.
• GHG reduction: 30% or more reduction in GHG emissions by 2025, 80% emissions reduction
by 2050.
• 75% of solid waste annually diverted from landfills by 2030
• Create an integrated environmental action plan.
• Continually seek best practices, reference following resource list for ideas.
• Apply metrics, benchmarks, and reporting to environmental actions.
• Lead decision-making policies with sustainable principles.
• Coordinate and communicate technical aspects of addressing resilience.
• Ensure equitable distribution of environmental benefits.
• Seek continuous improvement in water planning for drinking water, surface water, and storm
water

Collection of Sustainability Ideas and Specifics
from the Energy and Environment Commission
The following is a list of tools and ideas compiled through the Energy and Environment Commission
(EEC) to inform ongoing work by the City and the EEC. The intent is to provide a flexible framework
and list of options that can apply to a wide range of circumstances and decisions. While these are
written as general guidance, they may be used to direct the development of more formal programs,
goals, benchmarks, and initiatives.
City Budget and Leading by Example
• Integrate strategy, planning, and budgetary decisions.
• Encourage city staff to embed sustainability into decision-making, budget process, capital
improvements and build alliances across city departments.
• Operations – consider development of green building policy, and approach on net new city buildings
o Operational aspects (like irrigation, tree canopy and green space).
o Share resources example (South Metro training center).
• Reporting – set baselines and report out on (e.g. energy utilization, purchasing, new buildings).
Commercial and Industrial Facilities
• Constructions and Design – encourage green buildings, energy guidelines, give to get options, and
deconstruction.
• Operations – encourage energy consumption and efficiency, minimize waste and optimize processing
of waste stream with zero waste being target goal, water quality, and water drainage.
• Capture opportunities to educate.
• Address drainage, impervious surfaces, and runoff plans.
• Consider energy efficiencies and renewable energy options.
• Support lawn and plant diversity – permeable lawn, grass (weed ordinance), tree policy.
• Explore rebate and financial options.
Single Family Residential
• Utilize policies available to support green buildings (design, materials, etc.), energy efficiency and
residential energy options, responsible demolition, pervious surface use, smart water use (e.g.
irrigation), reduction of waste, and increase in plant biodiversity (including tree canopy and green
space).
• Give to get options was mentioned as a policy form.
• Continue to reassess policies that impact drainage and impervious surfaces (i.e. construction permits
needing runoff plans) and look for ways to stack benefits (i.e. utilizing native plants that can absorb
runoff, support pollinators, and clean water versus use of a buried cistern).
• Support pollinators, tree canopy, biodiversity, and native plants.
• Beyond policy, look for opportunities to educate (see big ideas section).
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Energy and Environment Chapter Draft 09-30-19
8-12
Solid Waste
• Incorporate consideration of waste into every aspect of plan – think of the waste hierarchy: reduce,
reuse, recycle.
• Any new commercial development should incorporate three-stream waste collection.
• Consideration for organics both in production and collection – i.e. new food establishments take
packaging and waste collection into consideration.
• Keep all new technologies and innovations regarding waste on the table.
• Educate citizens on waste at every opportunity.
• Public spaces need to have three-stream waste receptacles conveniently located for citizens.
• Events should consider waste in their planning. Both packaging and waste collection should be part
of permit/expectation.
• Consider opportunities for citizens to dispose of waste materials at centralized location – i.e. a day
where there is an electronics collection at a central drop-off.
• Construction and demolition requirements or options for greener practices. This could include
reusing materials and/or more environmental considerations when building.
• Parks using a percentage of compost in turf management and in planting beds.
Energy
• Consideration of self-generation or self-sourced generation:
o Look into costs for on-site generation or programs to source directly from remote sources.
o Consider long term environmental impact relative to city goals.
o Consider carbon free sources or programs giving Renewable Energy Credits to end users.
• Explore benefits of all electric sites and partnerships with utilities to offset potentially higher bills.
• For larger developments consider on-site generation, district energy systems, or district thermal
options. (Natural gas use on site will always have carbon emissions.)
• Consider the impact of community solar gardens.
• If the new home construction boom continues, consider local rebates/incentives to make homes
more efficient, resilient, and sustainable. Consider incentives for reused materials or products
sourced through in-state companies. (Discount on permit fees? Free LEDs throughout the house is
builder/owner meets a designated energy efficiency level or a percentage of recycled materials.)
Wetland
• Achieve no net loss of wetlands.
• Discourage wetland alteration.
• Administer the Wetland Conservation Act.
• Update the wetland inventory data.
• Restore previously existing wetlands.
• Buffer zones of native vegetation.
• Minimization of water level fluctuations.
• Involve the appropriate regulatory agencies (MPCA, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the
MnDNR) in the planning of any proposed water quality or flood control facilities.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Energy and Environment Chapter Draft 09-30-19
8-13
Natural Habitat
• Address invasive species, including ongoing coordination with Hennepin County and the Minnesota
Department of Agriculture regarding the City’s plan for emerald ash borer treatment and mitigation.
• Encourage native plants, especially pollinator-friendly plants.
• Encourage large tree preservation.
• Encourage increasing tree canopy.
• Capture education opportunities for teaching ecosystems.
• Reduce pesticide and fertilizer use.
Water
• Road salt best practices for overall reduction of chlorides to surface water receptors.
• Irrigation system best practices including upgrades and incentives for overall water use reduction.
• Incentives for potable water use reduction (business, residential).
• Long term drinking water sustainability, well redundancy, and water quality (including emerging
chemicals of concern).
• Leveraging available new technologies that optimize electricity usage and well maintenance.
• Resilient storm water management.
• Incentives to reduce the proliferation of single use plastic water bottles.
• Building / new structure enhancements that optimize water usage including options for gray water
systems.
• Continued long term water use coordination with watershed agencies, County, and adjacent
communities.
• Innovative use of rainwater run-off for activities such as watering plants (refer to U of M operations
example).

Solar Access Protection
One important contribution the City can make in the transition to renewable energy sources is to
protect the access that individual residents, businesses and industry have to renewable sources of
energy. Active solar rooftop collectors and passive solar technologies require maximum exposure to
sunlight, which may be challenging in a developed environment. To help ensure that sufficient exposure
is available for all homeowners and businesses, the City already has ordinances for building setbacks,
building height restrictions, and maximum lot coverage. At present, there are still very few houses with
solar energy systems, likely due to high costs and logistical considerations associated with installation.
The University of Minnesota has developed a high-resolution statewide solar resource map that allows
cities to calculate how much electricity they could potentially receive from locally installed solar energy
systems. These data (see Figure 8.3) were used to calculate Edina’s solar resource, in terms of
potential for energy generation. The solar map shows the location of the best sites solar installations
and helps identify where there may be potential land use conflicts with solar development. Table 8.1
shows the amount of solar energy reasonably available for development in Edina. The gross potential
includes the total available resource, regardless of location; rooftop capacity and generation include only
the resource available on the rooftops of commercial buildings located in the city.
Table 8.1 – Edina Gross and Rooftop Solar Generation Potential
Total Generation Potential (MWh/year) 16,700,686
Rooftop Potential (MWh/year) 2,739,861
Gross Generation Potential (MWh/year) 1,670,068
Roof Generation Potential (MWh/year) 273,986
These calculations assume a 10% conversion efficiency and current (2016/17) solar technologies. The
average home in Minnesota consumes between 9 and 10 Mwh/year (Solar Energy Industries Association;
US Energy Information Administration). Using only Edina’s rooftop generation potential, 27,000-30,000
homes could be powered by solar energy annually – more than the number of existing units in Edina.
Actions by the City of Edina that promote solar access and energy usage – such as facilitating financing
mechanisms like PACE financing and maintaining updated development regulations and incentives – can
result in wider adoption of solar energy in Edina. Another alternative is participation in community solar
gardens, which provide people an opportunity to support renewable energy through membership in a
large solar array located in a sunny open area. The Edina Community Solar Garden, located on the roof
of the Public Works and Park Maintenance Facility, is fully subscribed at the time of this writing with 68
households participating.
The City plans to meet or exceed state standards regarding solar access protection:
1. Continue to enforce setback, building height, and lot coverage ordinances that can serve as
protection to solar access
2. Become SolSmart certified to ensure policies, permitting, and inspections processes do not
inhibit solar access.
3. Consider access to solar protection when reviewing variance requests.
4. Promote the use of active and passive solar energy for heating, lighting, and other aspects in
design, construction, remodeling, and operation of City buildings.
5. Leverage the Solar and Wind Access Law to establish polices that restrict development for
the purpose of protecting solar access.

Chapter Highlights
• This chapter addresses:
o Public Safety: Police Protection
o Public Safety: Fire Protection
o Education / Lifelong Learning: Schools
o Education / Lifelong Learning: Libraries
• Population growth, demographic changes
especially in the 65+ age category, a growing
workforce, and an increased pace of
redevelopment, especially in the Greater
Southdale District, will require an increased public
safety response, including consideration of
alternative non-traditional styles of policing and
addressing growing diversity through the lens of
equity and inclusion.
• Increased building activity, primarily in the form of
multi-unit residential and mixed-use structures,
will place high demands on both the Fire and
Building Inspection Divisions of the Fire
Department.
• Current and future redevelopment activities and
the concomitant population increase in the
Greater Southdale District point to the need to
relocate and expand Fire Station No. 2 toward the
northwest area of this District to address the rising increase in response times and to
accommodate additional Emergency Management Services (EMS) resources. Consideration
could be given to a possible joint Police/Fire facility. Also, it is anticipated that in 5-10 years,
there will be a need for (new) Fire Station No. 3 in the northeast quadrant of the City.
• Enrollment projections in the Edina Public Schools (ISD 273) do not point to a need to expand
existing facilities. However, in recognition of the fast-paced redevelopment activity and the
changing demographics in the Greater Southdale District, Edina Public Schools is monitoring
these changes to determine the impact on future enrollment and the broader range of services
the school district provides.
• Hennepin County Library plans no significant facility or programmatic change to the Grandview
Library. However, Hennepin County Library does plan to replace the Southdale Library.
Current plans are to relocate and rebuild the new library at the Southdale Center shopping mall.
The existing library on York Avenue would remain open during construction of the new facility,
which is expected to be completed in early 2022.
Definition:
Community Services and
Facilities
Community services and facilities are
publicly-accessible resources that:
• Help make lives safer,
healthier, and more
enjoyable, and
• Enhance skills and abilities to
enable residents, workers,
and visitors to lead more
rewarding and productive
lives.
These social infrastructure resources
are as important to Edina’s future as
“hard” services like water, sewer,
roads, and transit.
Strategic investment in social
infrastructure encourages greater
levels of equity, access, participation,
and social cohesion.

• An opportunity is identified for Hennepin County Library to partner with Edina Public Schools
and others such as Fairview Southdale Medical Center, City of Edina Departments, Southdale
Center Mall, Southdale YMCA, and Minnesota State University-Mankato at Edina to provide
“outside-the-box,” multi-generational and lifelong learning programs, especially in a re-location
and re-design of the new Southdale Library to better match the pattern and character of the
Greater Southdale District’s evolution.
Introduction
Edina’s quality of life, and the health and well-being of its neighborhoods and business districts, require
not only effective and coordinated planning, but also the involvement of human services sectors and
investment in comprehensive social infrastructure.
Preserving and improving access to services and facilities in established Edina neighborhoods and
providing a full range of community services and facilities in areas experiencing major or incremental
growth, such as in Grandview, 50th and France, and in the Greater Southdale District, is a shared
responsibility. The City of Edina, Hennepin County, the State/Metropolitan Council, school districts,
other public agencies, and even the development community all play a role.
The types of community services, and the manner in which they are provided, are determined by
demographics and by political decisions on managing growth.
The demographic trends that shape Minnesota, as well as Edina, are population shifts, aging of
population, workforce considerations, and growing diversity. Edina’s population is increasing, with a
more recent surge in new residential development in the Greater Southdale District. The median age of
Edina residents is 44.5, about 25 percent higher than the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI
Area. Edina’s share of households with an older adult (65+) is 35 percent, much higher than the MSP
metro area at 22 percent. In Edina, 8 percent of all residents (about 4,000) report a disability; 70
percent of those with a disability are age 65+. With respect to workforce considerations, Edina
“grows” by 23,000 (net) people entering Edina each day to work. Edina’s growing diversity is reflected
in Edina Public Schools, with nearly twenty different home languages of students who speak a language
other than English at home.
With this Comprehensive Plan, the City of Edina is welcoming new population and employment growth,
adopting policies to shape and locate most of that growth in several specified areas, especially to the
rapidly-evolving mixed-use Greater Southdale District.
Edina Comprehensive Plan

The demand for quality community services will increase in the future. The provision of those services
will need to be altered in nature. The City must balance the need to maintain existing services and
facilities with the need to bring new or improved services to a growing senior population, to under-
served and under-represented communities, and to new residents, workforce participants, and
businesses. Environmental, economic, and technological changes will occur as well. Edina service
providers must reinvent delivery systems and facilities to respond to multiple and competing demands,
withstand environmental stress, and adapt to changing circumstances.
The purposes of this chapter are to: 1) inventory and examine existing services and facilities, 2) identify
future needs, and 3) determine the requirements for maintaining and enhancing these services and
facilities to meet Edina’s growing and changing population. The goals and policies in this chapter support
equitable, efficient, and adaptive management approaches that are needed to continue to provide high-
quality services and facilities to all Edina residents, businesses, and visitors, now and in the future.
This Community Services and Facilities chapter addresses the following;
• Public Safety: Police Protection
• Public Safety: Fire Protection
• Education / Lifelong Learning: Schools
• Education / Lifelong Learning: Libraries
Other services and facilities, including parks and recreation, arts and culture, water resources, energy
and environment, transportation, and health are addressed in other Comprehensive Plan chapters.
Edina: A Community of Learning. Edina has a prized education system of high-
quality public schools. This chapter of the Comprehensive Plan recognizes the importance of
extending the benefits of education to the entire community by increasing multi-generational
learning through expanded mentoring and tutoring opportunities that involve school-age children,
senior citizens, local businesses and institutions, and health care facilities.
Collaborating with Edina Public Schools, Edina’s community services can be delivered in ways that
will better enable everyone in the community to appreciate the scope of available services and
their importance. Additionally, through the community’s engagement in these learning
experiences, a foundation will be laid to help ensure that these services continue to meet the
evolving needs of Edina’s growing population. Examples of such methods include:
• Hennepin County Library, Edina’s Public Schools, and the Edina Fire and Police
Department’s might extend their community outreach in a collaborative manner in
planning their respective future services and facility development in the Greater
Southdale District to explore solutions and outcomes that could produce cost savings,
efficiencies, and opportunities for multi-generational learning.
• The Police Department might involve students, business owners and employees in
cybercrime awareness education along with Police Department detective training.

Public Safety: Police Protection
Introduction
The mission of the Police Department is the service and protection of the community within the scope
of the law and trusts and expectations placed in that department by the community.
Current Conditions
The Edina Police Department consists of 75 full-time and 11 part-time employees, including the
Community Health Division which was integrated into the Police Department in 2012.
Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities
The Police Department is called upon to perform many emergency and public service tasks. In 2017,
the department responded to over 72,068 calls for service that involved medical emergencies, fires,
accidents, thefts, damage to property, suspicious persons and vehicles, alarm responses, as well as public
service educational and self-initiated activities. Approximately 19 percent of these calls required
multiple officer responses, which equaled more than 32,000 officer responses.
In 2016, the City reported 963 major Part I crimes such as burglary, robbery, assault, and theft. This
was a 1.7 percent drop from 2015. Additionally, the City reported 1,168 Part II crimes, which was a
12.8 percent increase from 2015.
Police respond to emergency calls within five and a half minutes and to non-emergency calls within 12.5
minutes under normal conditions. This was a slight increase from the previous comprehensive report in
2008. The rationale for the increased response times is that officers are responding to higher call loads
with staffing levels that haven’t changed for several decades. Also, the City’s population density has
increased, which has created heavier traffic patterns. The Police Department operates a 24-hour
Communications Center, which handles 911 calls and dispatches the appropriate Police, Fire, and
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) units for both the cities of Edina and Richfield.
Law enforcement organizations around the state are experiencing a downward trend in the number of
qualified individuals looking to become police officers. Edina has a long-standing tradition of hiring only
the most qualified candidates. Moving toward the future, the Police Department may have to consider
non-traditional recruiting options such as mentoring potential candidates in high school or early college,
second career individuals, reduced tuition or grants, and tuition forgiveness.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
9. Community Services and Facilities Draft 09-30-19
9-5
The Police Department is also responsible for educating the public in crime prevention techniques, all
felony crimes against persons, hate crimes and sexual violence, and other crimes as well. This is
accomplished by connecting with community members through community outreach events and
programs.
The Edina Police Department’s community engagement officer plays a vital role in connecting with
community members through various means including, but not limited to: Night to Unite, school
resources officer program, presence at local public forums where health and safety topics are discussed
and educational programs regarding traffic safety and laws. These partnerships help identify and then
address problems and concerns in the community.
Over 80 percent of the Police Department budget is directly or indirectly spent on labor. The Police
Department operates seven days a week, 24 hours per day, and maintains an average patrol strength of
5.2 officers at any given time.
The Police Department also supervises an Explorer Post comprising approximately 20 young adults who
have an interest in law enforcement. The Explorer Post contributes approximately 500 hours of public
services to various community events and programs. The Police Department oversees a Police Reserve
program with individuals that want to give back to the community. The Reserves provide extra support
during special events, non-emergency calls for service, and extra patrol. On average, the Reserve
provided the community in excess of 1,800 hours of supplemental coverage every year.
Tornadoes, floods, blizzards, and other natural disasters can affect the City. In addition, major disasters
such as train wrecks, school shootings, plane crashes, explosions, and accidental release of hazardous
materials pose a potential threat to safety in Edina.
The City has an Emergency Response Plan that follows an all-hazards approach to preparing for and
responding to large-scale emergencies. The purpose of the Plan is to ensure the effective, coordinated
use of its resources to maximize the protection of life and property, ensure the continuity of
government, sustain survivors and repair essential facilities and utilities. The Edina Police Department
participates in a Mutual Aid Agreement with Hennepin County and all law enforcement agencies in
surrounding municipalities. The purpose of the agreement is to provide a legal vehicle for sharing law
enforcement resources, both personnel and equipment. In addition, the Department participates in
regional emergency response and mass casualty training.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
9. Community Services and Facilities Draft 09-30-19
9-6
The Civil Defense Program prepares the community for disasters or emergencies, natural or man-made.
This is accomplished by compliance with Federal, State and County guidelines for emergency
preparedness planning.
The City of Edina also partners with the Cities of
Bloomington, Eden Prairie, and Minneapolis-Saint Paul
Airport Police Departments to operate the South
Metro Public Safety Training Facility. This facility
provides a variety of police and fire training
opportunities in a two-building campus located in
Braemar Park at 7525 Braemar Boulevard in Edina.
Demographic changes, a growing workforce, and an
increased pace of redevelopment will require an
increased public safety response, including consideration
of alternative non-traditional styles of policing and
addressing growing diversity through the lens of equity
and inclusion.
Goals, Policies, and Strategies
Police Protection Goal 1: Maintain or improve police service levels, in both response and
prevention activities.
Projected increases in multiple occupancy housing and population, especially in the 65+ age category, are
anticipated to result in an increase in calls for service that may affect the number of officers necessary to
provide the highest quality of law enforcement services. A staffing study in 2016 recommends increasing
patrol levels by seven officers by 2019 to stay with Edina’s high level of productivity and quality service.
A senior population is associated with higher numbers of medical calls for service. All Edina patrol
officers are either certified as Emergency Medical Technicians or First Responders and respond to all
medical emergencies. All of Edina’s dispatchers are training in Emergency Medical Dispatching (EMD) to
provide pre-arrival instructors during medical emergencies.
Seniors have increasingly become targets for criminal and financial exploitation. The Department has
assigned an officer to vulnerable adult investigations on a near full-time basis due to the increase in these
types of crimes. If the trend continues, additional resources may have to be devoted to this area.
With an increase in mental health calls for service, police officers need the skills to handle individuals
who are experiencing episodes of uncontrolled or erratic behavior due to mental illness.
Polices and strategies for action include:
1. Continue to be a transparent organization to ensure trust within the community.
2. Utilize new technology to analyze call patterns to plan for and allocate resources and maintain
rapid response times.
3. Research the possible implementation of officer-worn body cameras and identify a funding
source to pay for the ongoing staff time and storage needs.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
9. Community Services and Facilities Draft 09-30-19
9-7
4. Expand crime prevention services to reach a larger resident base, with emphasis on the
expanding senior population.
5. Examine the need for and feasibility of building a joint Police/Fire sub-station in the Greater
Southdale Area to assist with the increased call load and to provide better response times.
6. Work with the major retail business to develop a crime prevention strategy.
7. Explore and stay current with new styles of Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) for officers so
they are best prepared to handle situations they encounter safely and professionally. This not
only entails police tactics and investigations, but also the social aspect of recognizing the needs
of various cultures within the community.
Police Protection Goal 2: Promote traffic safety through enforcement and education.
Traffic enforcement is a top priority for the Edina Police Department. In addition to the traffic safety
benefits of enforcement, it also serves as a crime prevention and interdiction tool. The majority of
criminal activity is being committed by people coming into the city via streets and highways. With
projected population increases, three major highways running through the City and a lack of capacity on
roads, congestion and cut-through traffic will continue to be problematic. Requests for increased traffic
enforcement have consistently been the top request to the Police Department over the last 20+ years.
A continued strong enforcement presence will be needed to keep Edina one of the safest areas in the
metropolitan area.
Also, over the next ten to twenty years, pedestrian,
bicycle, and vehicular traffic is anticipated to increase
exponentially with major retail and high-density
residential complexes being planned and built at the
Greater Southdale District. The Police Department will
be responsible for providing security and safety along
new walkways and roadways in the area. The unknown
make-up of the higher density population that will live in
the Greater Southdale District and in other areas where
growth is anticipated to occur will lead the Police
Department to consider alternative styles of policing to
adapt to community needs. This could be in the form of
more foot and/or bicycle patrols, security cameras, and
specialized public education.
Policies and strategies include:
1. Provide an unmistakable presence and visibility on the roadways.
2. Utilize educational tools such as the radar trailer and digital display signs to increase
driver awareness.
3. Take advantage of State-wide partnerships, e.g. Toward Zero Death (TZD) and DWI
officer grants to increase funding for enforcement and education efforts.
4. Work with city planners during design/planning stages in the Greater Southdale District
and other areas where growth is anticipated to ensure safety and crime prevention
through environmental design, including clear signage and landmarks for people to
communicate their location to dispatchers and responders.

Police Protection Goal 3: Make cost-effective use of technology to meet public safety goals.
One of the more daunting challenges ahead is the use and attendant cost of technology. In 2007, the
Edina Police Department made a significant investment in a new computer system. Moving forward, the
current system is reaching the end of its life expectancy. The previous system lasted 16 years, while the
current system was scheduled for replacement in 2012. The Police Department will have to carefully
monitor and plan for upgrades and eventual replacement. The complexity of new systems, along with
the push for information sharing among all criminal justice agencies, places greater demands upon staff.
Law enforcement has greatly benefited from improved technology but has also seen an explosion in the
use of technology by the criminal element. Internet pornography and child exploitation, cyber stalking,
phishing, and identity theft are examples of crimes that have dramatically increased in the past five years.
These types of crimes create the need for officers who have knowledge and state-of-the-art equipment
to properly investigate the digital crimes that are constantly evolving. In order to stay current with
crime trends and to assist the investigative division, the Police Department hired a full-time Crime
Analyst. In 2016, the Police Department reassigned an officer to become a full-time forensic investigator
to help address crimes involving technology.
Policies and strategies include:
1. Monitor technological advances relating to law enforcement and evaluate applicability to ensure
that the Police Department has a full toolset of technical, managerial, and legal mechanisms to
identify cybercrime offenders and prevent their illegal activities.
2. Use crime analyst and crime intelligence to predict crimes and likely crime areas.
3. Going forward, if crimes involving technology continue to increase, the Police Department will
need a second or even a third detective with specialized forensics training to keep up with the
demand of investigating cybercrimes.
4. Participate in joint task forces or use consultants in areas that call for specialized or unique
crime-fighting skills.
5. Budget or look for grants to assist with funding for new forensic equipment.
Police Protection Goal 4: Ensure that the community is prepared to effectively mitigate
and respond to disasters.
The importance of local level planning and response has been highlighted with concerns about terrorism,
pandemic flu, and recent disasters. Depending on the scale of the emergency, assistance from outside
agencies may not be available for an extended time. Preparedness for natural or man-made disasters,
pandemic flu or terrorism is part of the charter of the Edina Health Commission and is in the Minnesota
State statute regarding a city’s preparedness.
Policies and strategies to prepare for a disaster include:
1. Educate and involve the community in disaster preparedness activities.
2. Update the Emergency Operations Plan regularly to stay current with evolving threats or
hazards.
3. Build collaborative efforts with State and County agencies to maximize funding, training, and
information sharing opportunities.

The Edina Police Department has a strong tradition of planning for the future, and change is the one
thing that the future promises. The Police Department’s primary strategy is to prepare for the future by
maintaining a well-trained, equipped, and highly motivated staff with the flexibility to address challenges
that lie ahead.
Public Safety: Fire Protection
Introduction
The mission of the Edina Fire Department is to serve the community by protecting lives, property and
the environment in a safe, efficient, and professional manner.
The Edina Fire Department fulfills this mission through the implementation and enforcement of building
and fire codes for new construction and existing structures, extinguishing fires, providing paramedic
advanced life support ambulance service, delivering fire prevention and education programs, and
maintaining the City’s firefighting equipment and facilities.
Current Conditions
The Edina Fire Department is organized into two divisions: Fire Division and Building Inspections
Division. The combined full-time staff consists of 46 full-time personnel.
The 36 Fire Division staff members consist of 24 shift personnel (captain, lieutenant, seven
paramedic/firefighters), five command officers, three fire inspectors, one administrative assistant, and
one paramedic/firefighter on special assignment with Minnesota Task Force 1 Urban Search & Rescue
Team serving as the administrator for the team. The Fire Division also has two part-time positions
assigned to the fire inspections bureau – administrative support and public education. Additionally, the
Fire Division supports a cadre (10-15) of paid on-call (volunteers) firefighters.
The Fire Division operates out of two fire stations. Fire Station No. 1 (Department Headquarters) is
located at 6250 Tracy Avenue and Fire Station No. 2 is located at 7335 York Avenue.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
9. Community Services and Facilities Draft 09-30-19
9-10
Finally, the Fire Division oversees the South Metro Public Safety Training Facility, which receives its
direction from the Board of Directors. The Facility is managed by an executive director and a core of
part-time staff members.
The Building Inspections Division enforces minimum standards related to building construction to
safeguard life or limb, health, property, and public welfare by regulating buildings and structures within
the City with regards to construction, design, location and maintenance, quality of materials, and use and
occupancy. The 14 Building Inspections Division staff members consists of a chief building official, a field
inspector supervisor and seven field inspectors, two commercial plan reviewers and three permit
technicians.
Several years ago, the Fire Department took on the duties and responsibilities of emergency
management for the City. The Fire Chief is the Director of Emergency Management (EM). The Assistant
Fire Chief in Charge of Operations is the EM Coordinator. Their primary roles are to ensure the City
Emergency Operations Plan is up to date and that the Emergency Operations Center is equipped and
operational when activated. The EM Director and Coordinator work closely with Hennepin County and
State EM officials to ensure response plans are aligned with County and State requirements and best
practices. In the event of a large-scale incident, the EM Director would assist the City leadership in
managing the incident to ensure a positive outcome.
Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities
Trends from the past and those for the future point to a continued increase in all aspects of the Fire
Division and Building Inspections Division operations.
The Fire Division’s primary functions (fire suppression, emergency medical services, and special
operations) are focused on providing an immediate response to protect lives, property (total est.
market value $13 billion), and the environment from exposure to natural, industrial and environmental
hazards. Anticipated response times should place a fire or emergency unit on the scene within six
minutes at least 90 percent of the time.
Typical actions are search, rescue, and removal of persons in immediate danger; interior fire attack to
stop the fire development; exterior fire streams to prevent fire extension; and fire extinguishment and
control. Also necessary are actions and measures to minimize property damage by smoke, water,
weather, and release of hazardous or toxic materials. The Division’s equipment consists of three
pumpers, one aerial tower, one heavy rescue vehicle, and and various support vehicles. In 2017, 1,217
fire responses included fires, rescues, hazardous conditions, and public service emergency calls.
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) accounted for 4,511 responses (79 percent) in 2017. The Special
Operations Team (SOT) also supports the State of Minnesota Task Force One Urban Search & Rescue
Team and responds State-wide to structural collapse and other technical rescues. Although the calls for
special operations service are very low the time commitment for training is extremely high to ensure
competency in this very technical field.
A major component of the Fire Division and one that sets us apart from any other fire department in
Hennepin County is that it provides the only municipal Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulance service.
The Division’s deployment goal is to place an ambulance on the scene within six minutes at least 90
percent of the time. To meet that goal the equipment consists of four ALS paramedic ambulances and
one ALS equipped pumper. Services provide both immediate emergency care and transportation to
metro-area hospitals. Paramedics are cross-trained as firefighters, and all firefighters are cross-trained to
the Emergency Medical Technician level. Emergency medical services also include public information

activities to prevent and best prepare citizens for emergency medical situations. The Fire Department
ambulance service generated revenues in excess of $2.2 million in 2017. Edina’s City-wide average
response time to all emergencies is 5.48 minutes.

Design, December 5, 2018
The Building Inspections Division has seen significant increases in single-family residential tear-
downs and rebuilds with an average of 124 per year for the past several years. The peak of this activity
may have been realized in 2014, but it is anticipated that there will be brisk activity for several years to
come. Multi-unit residential structures continue to be a strong redevelopment strategy especially in the
southeast quadrant of the City in the Greater Southdale District bordered by France Avenue, York
Avenue, Trunk Highway 62, and Minnesota Drive, as well as in the 76th Street/77th Street corridor to the
west. Additionally, the City is planning for redevelopment in the Grandview area west of Trunk
Highway 100, 50th and France, 44th and France, and 70th and Cahill areas.
This increased building activity, primarily in the form of multi-unit residential and mixed-use structures,
will certainly place a high demand on the both the Fire and Building Inspections Divisions. In anticipation
of this increased workload, the Building Inspections Division added three full-time staff members in 2015
– two field inspectors and one permit technician. A recent addition to the operation is the
implementation of electronic plan review for all permits. This has provided many efficiencies within the
Building Inspections Division and throughout the City. All permitting is now done through e-permits and
all plan reviews are completed electronically.

Goals, Policies, and Strategies
Fire Protection Goal 1: Prevent fire ignition whenever and wherever possible.
1. Prevention through education.
a. Public education class in the schools
b. Senior Safety Camps
c. Kids Safety Camps
d. Other community outreach
Fire Protection Goal 2: When fires do occur, minimize fire impact on lives and property.
1. Response through appropriate equipment and staff.
a. Properly placed fire and EMS response vehicles
b. Properly trained fire and EMS staff
c. Strategically located response units to ensure timely response
Fire Protection Goal 3: Forecast needs in the areas of building fire protection systems,
operational support and program development.
1. Building code compliance
2. Fire and life safety code compliance
3. Proactive fire and life safety inspection programs.
Strategies for action include:
• Ensure sufficient building inspections staff along with advancing technology. This will
be a major factor as we try to meet the fire and life safety needs of the community as
redevelopment takes place.
• Achieve a balance in EMS service delivery. This will mean operations will need to expand
and address the complexity created by the fact that many new mixed-use redevelopment
projects are located proximate to existing multi-unit residential senior living facilities.
Additionally, changing demographics towards a more diverse community and an expansion in
affordable housing may play a part in the increasing emergency call volume.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
9. Community Services and Facilities Draft 09-30-19

The Fire Department has seen a continuous upward trend in emergency medical call requests.
From 2007 to 2017, there was a 27 percent increase in emergency call volume. The southeast
quadrant of the City, which includes the 750-acre mixed-use Greater Southdale District and is
served by Fire Station No. 2, continues to see the largest portion of EMS runs. This trend will
continue as many recent multi-unit residential/retail structures have been built in this quadrant
and several more are planned. Of concern is the proposed redevelopment of the 43-acre low-
rise Pentagon Park office campus west of France Avenue in the southern part of the City. The
transformation of this area will likely be to mid-to-high-rise multi-unit residential and mixed-use
structures. These new uses, building types, and increased densities will place new and different
demands on building inspections and the long-term public safety service delivery.
• Increase initial and ongoing building and fire inspections and code enforcement
along with prevention and education undertakings. These measures are cost effective
and produce a dramatic reduction in loss of life, injuries, and property.
• Continue to assess the capabilities of Fire Station No. 1 and No. 2 and make
upgrades as needed. Plan for Fire Station No. 3 in northeast quadrant of the City.
In 2008, Fire Station No. 1 was rebuilt and enlarged to accommodate the increase in equipment
and staffing. Since 2008, there has not been an increase in staffing but future increases are
anticipated in 2019. In 2018, an analysis was conducted by Five Bugles Design to look at current
emergency response times and station location throughout the city and to make
recommendations. In short, the analysis recommended:
1. Keeping existing Station No. 1 in its current location.
2. Construction of a New Station No. 2 near the southwest corner of Southdale Center
within the next 3-5 years.
3. Acquire 2-4 acres of land for a Proposed Station No. 3 near City Hall, and construct
proposed Station No. 3 as needed, assumed to be required in the next 5-10 years.
This will hopefully address the rising increase in response times and accommodate additional
EMS resources because of the increasing run volume associated with the redevelopment in the
Greater Southdale District. Furthermore, 5-10-year forecasts point to a need for a third station
in the northeast quadrant, again to address the increasing response times in this area because of
current and future redevelopment activities.
BEST PRACTICES: Rather than build a traditional
single-use facility, the City of Alexandria, Virginia
pursued an innovative design that fit the new station
into the mixed-use fabric of the new neighborhood.
The Station at Potomac Yard is a massive new mixed-
use development that includes a building with a new
21,953 sq. ft. Fire Station with four emergency vehicle
bays, four stories of affordable and workforce housing
(64 units), 1,500 sq. ft. of commercial space, and two
community rooms.

• Revise City Emergency Operations Plan as needed to respond to changing
population levels and demographic diversity. Emergency Management oversight is a
function of the Fire Department. As the demographics and density of the community change so
too will the need for plans that address the changing diversity. The Department will continue to
revise the City Emergency Operations Plan on a regular basis and will work closely with local,
county and State officials to ensure required plans are in place.
The Fire Department will continue to develop, update, and implement goals, policies and strategies to
meet the needs of the Edina community.
Education / Lifelong Learning: Schools
Introduction
One of the five key features that define the future of Edina, as articulated in the 2015 Edina Vision
Statement, is that Edina will continue to be a Community of Learning. The participants in that visioning
process routinely singled out quality education as one of the characteristics of their future. Edina has a
high-quality future-oriented formal education system that undeniably prepares its students to thrive in an
increasingly competitive and globalized world. The Vision Statement noted that the respondents desired
greater use of technology in the classroom, an expansion of cultural and globally-focused learning
opportunities, and the promotion of lifelong learning. Also, the Vision Statement stated that the City
should continue to foster its productive working partnerships and explore future opportunities for
expanded partnerships.
Current Conditions
Public Education
Edina is served primarily by Independent School District 273, Edina Public Schools. Portions of Edina are
included in five other public school districts: Hopkins (ISD 270), Bloomington (ISD 271), Eden Prairie
(ISD 272), Richfield (ISD 280), and St. Louis Park (ISD 283).
Edina Public Schools (EPS) is a nationally recognized suburban public school district serving
approximately 8,500 students, up from 7,700 ten years ago.
Edina Comprehensive Plan

As articulated in the Strategic Plan: Building the Next Generation of Edina Public Schools:
“The mission of the Edina Public Schools, working in partnership with the family and the community, is
to educate all individuals to be responsible, lifelong learners who possess the skills, knowledge,
creativity, sense of self-worth, and ethical values necessary to thrive in a rapidly changing, culturally
diverse, global society.”
There are six elementary schools (grades K-5), two middle schools (grades 6-8), and one high school
(grades 9-12). The District also includes the award-winning Early Learning Center that provides early
learning opportunities for children age 0-5 and their families, and Community Education Services that
provides programs and services for learners of all ages, from birth through 85+.
Parents have three elementary (K-5) program choices:
• Neighborhood Program which serves 70 percent of students.
• Continuous Progress in which teachers work with students more than
one year in multiage groups at Highlands and Countryside (10 percent).
• French Immersion at Normandale (20 percent).
There are six elementary schools:
• Concord Elementary School, 5900 Concord Avenue (743 students)

There is one high school, the Edina Senior High School, 6754 Valley View Road (2,737 students)
The original building/location for Edina East High School at 5701 Normandale Road now functions as the
Edina Community Center, housing the community education and early childhood programs, School
District offices, and the Normandale French Immersion K-5 elementary school.
Of the total 8,500 student enrollment in Edina Public Schools (EPS) approximately:
• 85 percent of resident school-age students attend Edina Public Schools; 15 percent of the
student population joins EPS through state open enrollment programs.
• 24 percent of Edina Public Schools students report minority status, an increase of over 10
percent in the last ten years.
• 4 percent of students receive English Learner services, with EPS families speaking 44 different
languages at home.
• 9 percent of Edina students qualify for Free and Reduced priced meals.
• 10 percent of students receive Special Education services.
• 18 percent of EPS students are served by the Gifted and Talented Program.
• 98.1percent of students graduate from Edina High School, with 94 percent pursuing some sort
of higher education.
In early 2018, the doors of the new Edina Activity Center (EAC) opened. The EAC accommodates the
needs of the Edina High School student body, which grew by 25 percent this year when the ninth-grade
class transitioned to the high school. It also helps meet the community’s ever-growing need for
additional athletic and activity spaces. The Activity Center is a 70,000 square foot addition to the Edina
High School, and includes a three-court gymnasium, auxiliary gym, three-lane walking track, fitness
center, locker rooms, and lobby area that doubles as a large group project space during the school day.
The EAC also encompasses robotics labs and large learning spaces for Project Lead The Way classes and
other technology courses.
Private Education
Edina is served by six private schools:
• Calvin Christian School, 4015 Inglewood Avenue South (Grades K-8)
• Edina Montessori School, 6133 Kellogg Avenue (Grades PK-K)
• Golden Years Montessori, 4100 West 42nd Street (Grades PK-2)

Lifelong Learning
Edina Public Schools has recognized that, in the larger Edina community, people are looking for
connections – physical and social and virtual – to build community and bridge differences. Edina Public
Schools has an excellent Community Education program that embraces the beliefs that:
• Education is a lifelong process;
• Everyone in the community – individuals, businesses, public and private agencies – shares
responsibility for educating all members of the community; and
• Citizens have a right and a responsibility to be involved in determining community needs,
identifying community resources, and linking those needs and resources to improve their
community.
The goal of Edina Community Education is to find ways to engage the Edina community with the school
district and the larger community so that people can learn throughout their life. Edina Community
Education operates the following programs:
• Early Learning Center of which the Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) is the heart of the
program. ECFE enhances the ability of all parents and other caregivers to provide seamless
transitions to Kindergarten and beyond.
• Out-of-School Time Programs for Youth
(K-12) that provide hands-on,
exploratory experiences so that students
can continue to develop their academic,
social, emotional, and physical skills.
• Adult Programs including Community
Woodshop, Fitness programs, Ed2go
which provides high quality non-credit
continuing education programs, and
Aquatics training.
• Schools Volunteer Program which
promotes and strengthens partnerships between the school and the community as well as helps
to personalize instruction and enrich curriculum for all learners (Classroom Support, Before or
after school academic support, One-on-One Mentorship, Non-academic support, Media Center
support, and Special event support).
• Facilities Rental which uses schools as community centers for educational, cultural, and civic
activities.
• Edina Resources Center which connects residents to resources and information in Edina,
including connections to the Hennepin South Workforce Center, Family Crisis Information,
Food Assistance, Health and Medical, Housing Resources, Immigrant/Refugees/English Learners,
Social Services Agencies, and Transportation Resources.

Also, in terms of adult education, Minnesota State University-Mankato at Edina offers University
Extended Education programs for professionals and other adults who want to advance their careers,
complete a degree, or build new skill sets.
Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities
Demographic Changes – Racial Equity and
Cultural Competence: In Edina Public Schools,
demographic data show a considerable increase in the
percentage of students of color enrolled – including a
ten percent increase in the last ten years – with
projections indicating continued growth in racial
diversity in the district in the future. Edina Public
Schools recognizes this local demographic shift stresses
the urgency to which they must not only assess and
enhance the delivery of instruction, but more
importantly the need to better understand the changing
world of today and tomorrow.
School Security: Recent school shootings, most recently in Florida, and student activism in speaking
out on the issue of gun violence, including school walkouts, have caused Edina Public Schools to examine
the security of its own school facilities as well as monitor student protest discussions and demonstration
events. Edina Public Schools supports the students’ rights to free speech and peaceful assembly, so long
as doing so is not disruptive and done in accordance with district policy.
With respect to school security, Edina Public Schools seeks to create a welcoming environment while
enhancing security with lockdown buttons, electronic doors at entry points, upgraded Public Address
Systems and security cameras. The Edina Public Safety Departments (Police and Fire) are working with
Edina Public Schools to ensure that the buildings’ emergency plans are sufficient, including enhanced staff
training on evacuations, lockdowns, shelter-in-place, and buildings’ new security features.
Enrollment Projections: The “2017-2018 Enrollment, Projections, Class Size and Facility Information
Report,” contained in a memo dated October 23, 2017, provided the following five-year assessment.
The official enrollment in Edina Public Schools was determined in September, 2017. The district has
used a cohort survival method for projecting enrollment and Average Daily Members (ADM) along with
periodic demographic studies. Both the district and demographic study results have historically been
reliable. The official enrollment information was used to develop student enrollment projection for five
years into the future. These data, along with
enrollment history and census information,
was used to make the calculations. Recent
changes in resident enrollment patterns have
made both the district and demographic
study projections more volatile. Non-
resident enrollment is also projected based
on historical enrollment of non-resident
students. Projections for non-resident
students are more challenging as it is difficult
to determine if current patterns of non-
resident enrollment will continue.

Summary statements about K-12 enrollment projections comprised the following:
1. The elementary school enrollment is projected to increase by 143 students (3.8 percent) during
the five-year period.
2. The secondary enrollment is projected to decrease by 30 students (-.5 percent) during the next
five years. Middle school is projected to decrease by 48 students (-2.3 percent) in the next five
years, while high school is projected to increase by 18 students (.5 percent) in the next five
years.
3. K-12 total growth is projected to increase by 113 students (1.3 percent) during the five-year
period.
4. The administration recognizes the projection model, the district-wide programming studies and
building capacity may need to be revised to be responsive to changing community demographics
and educational trends. The model must be flexible with on-going monitoring.
Greater Southdale District: In recognition of the fast-paced redevelopment activity and the changing
demographics in the Greater Southdale District, Edina Public Schools is monitoring these changes to
determine the impact on future enrollment and other possible impacts on the broader range of services
that EPS provides to the community. There is a tremendous opportunity for the District to provide
“outside-the-box” opportunities that could function as a magnet program to all of the District, including
hands-on applied STEM learning at Fairview Southdale Medical Center; retail economics, logistics,
marketing and product development at Southdale Center mall; innovative district stormwater
management through partnerships with Edina Departments of Engineering and Public Works, etc. As
well, there is an opportunity for the School District to partner with Hennepin County Library (new
Southdale Library) and Minnesota State University-Mankato at Edina to expand community education
programs.
Edina Public Schools Strategic Plan
Edina Public Schools adopted the Next Generation of Edina Public Schools Strategic Plan –
Blending the Best of Today with the Possibilities of Tomorrow. This document sets out the EPS vision
and core strategies along with implementation descriptions. This Strategic Plan represents the “goals
and policies” that will guide their decisions, programs, and investments over the next five to ten years.
The Next Generation of Edina Public Schools Strategic Plan looks to the future trends,
challenges, and opportunities with the following approach:
Edina Comprehensive Plan
9. Community Services and Facilities Draft 09-30-19
9-20
“Edina Public Schools is steeped in a strong tradition of excellence but knows that its student
body is changing from traditional norms, as are the community and future workforce
expectations. While Edina Public School’s brand continues to be strong, it must look at
developing that next generation of Edina Public Schools to ensure that it is meeting the needs
of the today’s students as well as those who will be served tomorrow. Through customized
learning, innovative programming, and a commitment to partnership, the Edina Public Schools
are focusing on the needs of today’s learners with an eye to the future.
Part of Edina Public School’s Next Generation plan is to look at increasing partnerships, not
only locally and nationally, but also internationally. As part of the strategic studies – including a
comprehensive secondary academic programming study and a facilities study currently
underway, and preK - elementary programming study slated for next year – we are looking at
examples from around the country and the globe to develop schools and programs that are
developed for the needs of 21st century students.”
The Vision is two-fold:
• Edina Public Schools will continue to be among the premier school districts both nationally and
internationally.
• High expectations in academics, arts, extracurricular activities and community involvement best
prepare each learner to achieve success in college, career, and life.
The Core Strategies are:
• Personalized Learning Experiences for ALL students
• Coherent and Comprehensive Educational Programs
• Effective and Valued District Partnerships
More recently, Edina Public Schools adopted Position Statements on (1) Personalized Learning and, (2)
Racial Equity and Cultural Competence.
1. Personalized Learning: Edina Public Schools believes students must play an active role in what,
when, and how they learn to reach their full potential and be prepared for the dynamic world that
awaits them. In order to allow all students to progressively advance ownership of their learning,
Edina Public Schools will partner with families and the community to develop customized learning
pathways that promote success for all students. By instilling a personalized learning philosophy
throughout the organization, Edina Public Schools will be able to achieve its mission of educating all
learners with skills they need to thrive in a rapidly changing, culturally diverse, global society.
2. Racial Equity and Cultural Competence: Edina Public Schools is committed to looking at all
district work and initiatives through a lens of racial equity so that all learners have the skills,
opportunities and access to experiences that will help them reach their full potential and achieve
success. Edina Public Schools will partner families and the community to gain a better
understanding of and eliminate barriers rooted in racial constructs and cultural misunderstandings
that can interfere with a student’s learning or reduce his/her willingness to persist academically. By
applying this lens of racial equity and cultural understanding to all teaching and learning experiences,
Edina Public Schools will be able to achieve its mission of educating all learners with the skills they
need to thrive in a rapidly changing, culturally diverse, global society.

Personalized learning opportunities could include internships for students at City departments such as
Public Works, Police, Fire, and Planning, and at hospitals and clinics – the possibilities are endless.
Diversity in the schools is a strength that can be used to teach and learn about language, culture, and art
through educational programming that includes the whole community, not only the students.
The Edina Public School’s All for All Plan, developed in 2013,
advances strategic initiatives that focus on growth and
achievement for each and every student, without predictable
links to race or income. The Plan focuses on action strategies
around five central “gap” areas – belief, leadership, preparation,
teaching and learning, and time.
School Facilities: The Next Generation Facilities Plan
includes renovations and/or additions at all 10 of the district’s
schools, from early childhood through grade 12, to enhance building security, create a variety of
learning spaces, and improve district infrastructure.
Goals and Policies
Schools Goal 1: Support school districts serving Edina, and assist them to be multi-functional
neighborhood anchors, so that they excel in not only in their primary mission of providing
elementary and secondary education services and facilities, but also in their efforts to respond
to needs and opportunities for lifelong learning.
Policy 1-1: Encourage and support coordinated facilities planning among school districts serving Edina, along
with Edina Parks and Recreation Department and Hennepin County Library.
Policy 1-2: Encourage and support the upgrading of public schools programming to enhance the flexibly to
accommodate multiple community-serving uses and adapt to changes in educational approaches, technology,
and student needs over time, as well as to facilitate programming for intergenerational and lifelong learning.
Education / Lifelong Learning: Libraries
Introduction
The City of Edina has a long history of library services and facilities. Its first library opened in 1921, and
after several moves it became the Edina Morningside Branch Library which eventually closed in 1976. A
second Edina Branch Library opened in 1954. The Edina Community Library opened in 1968. When
the new library opened at Grandview Square in 2002, Edina razed the old library to make way for a new
City Hall and police facility. Hennepin County opened a new library at Southdale in 1973.
The City of Edina remains committed to a community of learning, viewing libraries as an integral
component of lifelong learning resources that enhance intellectual, social, and psychological development
of children, youth and adults.

Current Conditions
Edina is served by two libraries, both of which are operated as part of the Hennepin County system.
Hennepin County Library is a department in Hennepin County Government. An eleven-member
advisory Library Board governs its activities.
Edina Library, located at 5280 Grandview Square, has assistive technology, 28 computer workstations,
6 word-processing workstations, a meeting room with a capacity of 75, a great room with a fireplace,
and language collections (Chinese, French, and Spanish). The library shares facilities with the Edina
Senior Center which has fostered building relationships with all ages of the community. Within its
18,000 square feet of space there is also a Chrysalis Room that anchors a dedicated space for children’s
and teen’s events and programs. Art is included both inside and outside of the library building, in a
variety of media.
Southdale Library, located at 7001 York Avenue South, has assistive technology, a computer lab and
127 work stations, 38 word-processing stations, a meeting room with a capacity of 200, government
documents, and language collections (Chinese, Russian, Somali, Spanish and Vietnamese).

Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities
Lifelong learning is not only a trend, but it also a means for Edina to remain and evolve as a highly
engaged community where residents share the responsibility for decision-making and working
collectively toward a common vision. One of the five defining features in Edina’s Vision Statement is to
be a Community of Learning. This desired future is intended to include not only Edina’s high-quality
future-oriented education system, but also resources such as the two Hennepin County libraries. The
challenge and the opportunity are to promote the value of engagement and educational excellence and
equity, from early childhood through formal school instruction through older adult education, so that
the community has the capacity as a diverse, multi-generational community to understand and remain
agile in a fast and changing world.
As Edina moves forward, most of the changes in population size, demographics, and household types are
expected to take place in a number of nodes: 44th and France, 50th and France, Valley View and
Wooddale, Grandview, 70th and Cahill, and the Greater Southdale District. Of these nodes, the
Grandview area and, to a much greater degree, the Greater Southdale District will experience the most
dramatic changes. The Greater Southdale District, at 750+ acres, is already experiencing fast-paced
growth and will continue to do so. These two areas will place greater and differing demands on library
resources.
The Edina Library at Grandview Square was completed in 2002. No facility changes are contemplated,
although services and programs may be revised to meet new demands.
The Southdale Library, completed in 1973, is
outdated and deemed impractical to renovate and
repurpose. The building housed not only library
facilities, but also a variety of county services and
courtrooms. The Hennepin County Service Center
moved to Southdale Center shopping mall in 2016.
Hennepin County had considered a number of
redevelopment plans for the 7.7-acre site which
Edina Comprehensive Plan
9. Community Services and Facilities Draft 09-30-19
9-24
straddles the border of Edina and Richfield. Early planning meetings reflected a desire for a more open
and welcoming environment that is easier to access, as well as increased flexibility of spaces. Of the
four alternative plans, the Hennepin County Library officials had recommended the option to build a
new two-story library on the northwest quadrant of the site, at the intersection of York Avenue and
West 70th Street. A parking lot with possible underground parking would border Xerxes Avenue. That
plan included the sale of at least 3.9 acres on the southern half of the site for future development.
However, current plans are to relocate and rebuild the new library at the Southdale Center shopping
mall. The existing library on York Avenue would remain open during construction of the new facility,
expected to be completed in early 2022.
As the Greater Southdale District Plan has noted, many new libraries have compensated for a shift to
technology by creating “third spaces” that are neither home nor work. Public libraries are re-inventing
themselves for the 21st Century. These innovative libraries have universally accessible spaces where
people are free to congregate and fraternize, moving away from a consumer approach to knowledge to
a more sharing and experiencing mode of learning. Libraries are being connected to real world
participation, communication, and collaboration.
With the pace and mixed-use nature of redevelopment in the Greater Southdale District, there is an
obvious and exciting opportunity for the new Southdale Library to be re-imagined and re-built as a focal
point in the northern portion of the District, with a location and design that better match the pattern
and character of the Greater Southdale District’s evolution. Programming of such a re-imagined library
could focus on lifelong learning, reaching out to partner with the Edina and Richfield school districts,
City of Edina Departments, Fairview Southdale Medical Center, Southdale Center shopping mall,
Southdale YMCA, Minnesota State University-Mankato at Edina, and others.
Toronto Public Library – Fort York Branch
BEST PRACTICES: Toronto Public Library’s branches’ walk-ins bring their coffee and lunches; they do their homework; they
make videos or create objects with 3D printers; take classes in computer coding or yoga; attend author talks or listen to experts
offer advice for those looking after elderly relatives; access video tutorials; borrow musical instruments or artwork; and, of course,
borrow plain old print-and-ink books.

Hennepin County Library Strategic Plan 2011-2025
Both of the Hennepin County libraries in Edina have operations, programs, and events that respond to
Edina’s desire to foster a culture of ongoing learning, in alignment with Vision Edina 2015, the City’s
long-term strategic framework.
The Hennepin County Library Strategic Plan 2011-2025 frames their mission and vision as follows:
• Our mission is to nourish minds, transform lives and build community together.
• We envision a Hennepin County where library services ensure every person has the
opportunity and resources to read, graduate, engage, work, and learn.
To fulfill its mission and vision, and live out its core values of customer service, continuous
improvement, diversity, and inclusion, employee engagement and workforce development, Hennepin
County Library makes the following promise to the communities it serves:
We promise to engage with you, building strength and health by:
• Providing library services that reflect and respond to community diversity
• Using research-based information when development library services
• Quickly recognizing and responding to changing communities and demographics
• Deepening community engagement and collaborations
• Partnering with schools, businesses, and nonprofits in our communities
• Creating library environments that are welcoming, safe and secure
• Configuring library spaces and places to reflect new and broader purposes.
Goals and Policies
Library Goal 1: Support Hennepin County Library mission and vision, and encourage
expanded and innovative learning programs and facility designs that produce greater levels of
equity, equality, access, participation, and social cohesion within Edina.
Policy 1-1: Encourage the continuation and potential expansion of multi-generational learning programs and
activities at the Edina Library at Grandview Square.
Policy 1-2: Encourage a location, design, and programming for a new Southdale regional library in ways that
match the development pattern and character of the Greater Southdale District’s evolution, especially in
response to the District’s growing multi-generational resident population.

10. Economic Competitiveness and Economic Development
Chapter Highlights
Edina’s business and industrial parks provide space for
regionally significant industry sectors. Businesses in these
sectors, which command a high average wage and build
wealth in the regional economy, value Edina’s business and
industrial parks due to:
• freeway access
• airport proximity
• transit and employee parking
• a diverse labor pool
• good image and security
• proximity to hotels, restaurants, customers and
suppliers.
•
• Workplaces are changing, and many are being designed to
attract the next generation of workers. Edina’s business
and industrial parks are aging and, in order to ensure their
continued success, the they will need to be updated and
revitalized.
• The health care sector is one of the fastest growing
segments of the economy, both nationally and regionally.
Growth is expected to continue as the large “baby boom”
generation creates an increased demand for medical
services. This has implications for the strong health care
sector in the Greater Southdale area.
•
• The retail industry is experiencing significant transformation
as consumer shopping patterns change. Retail stores and
shopping centers are rethinking their role and exploring
ways to adapt successfully.
•
• Smaller commercial nodes in Edina serve important
functions in their neighborhoods, providing goods and
services to area residents and building a sense of
community and place. These are areas where smaller,
locally-owned businesses typically find more affordable
rents, property ownership opportunities, and access to a
customer base.

attainment, livability, infrastructure, environment, and business vitality. Nevertheless, maintaining and
enhancing the region’s competitiveness requires constant attention and stewardship. Creating places
that are attractive to businesses and talent is influenced significantly by cities throughout the region;
cities are largely responsible for attending to the details of updating infrastructure, revitalizing aging
business districts and housing supplies, and providing quality of life amenities like parks and trails; while,
at the same time, maintaining a competitive tax structure.
The City of Edina plays an important role in the regional economy by providing employment locations
for high wage industries in its business and industrial parks. The City also serves as regional hub for
health care, retail, hospitality, dining, and entertainment. Edina contributes to the region’s economic
vitality by providing well-located business and industrial parks, health care, excellent housing, schools,
shopping, recreation, dining and entertainment, and other amenities important to residents’ quality of
life and talent attraction to the region.
Background
Economic Development in Edina
The City of Edina has proactively pursued economic development for many decades. These efforts have
helped create a balanced community with a diverse tax base, strong employment opportunities, and a
plethora of goods and services for residents and visitors.
In recent years, the City has employed a full time Economic Development Manager who is positioned in
the Administrative Department. The City strives to work with the local business community to sustain a
regulatory environment that provides necessary safeguards without stifling business growth and
creativity. These efforts include active involvement in the three local business associations: Edina
Chamber of Commerce, 50th and France Business Association, and Explore Edina (the City’s convention
and tourism partner).
In 2017, the Edina Chamber of Commerce initiated an Economic Development Committee so that they
can remain an active and relevant force in matters of local economic significance.
Commercial/Industrial Property Taxes
In addition to the benefits of local employment opportunities, commercial/industrial facilities in Edina
make an important contribution to the City and region by virtue of their tax base. Because Minnesota
applies a higher rate to commercial/industrial properties, the tax yield for a commercial/industrial
property is higher than a residential property. In 2017, commercial/industrial property represented 15
percent of Edina’s market value, but yielded 26 percent of its tax capacity (www.Edina.MN.gov). Edina
contributes 40 percent of its commercial/ industrial revenue generation back to other cities in the
region through fiscal disparities.
The costs of implementing and delivering public services for commercial/industrial properties are lower
than they are for residential properties. The League of MN Cities estimates that households generally
consume $1.38 in services for every dollar paid while commercial/industrial properties consume $0.68 in
services for every dollar paid. Office and industrial areas typically have an extremely low demand for
services, where retail areas have a higher demand for police services. Because of the high cost of office
finishes compared to other types of commercial-industrial construction, multi-story offices typically yield
the most tax base per acre and have an extremely low demand for services. Figure 10.1 shows that the
Edina Comprehensive Plan

highest commercial valuations in Edina (orange and red) are concentrated in the Greater Southdale area,
at 50th and France, and at Grandview.

Current Conditions
Employment Density
The highest employment concentrations in Edina, as shown on Figure 10.2 above, are located along the
regional freeway system. The areas with the greatest employment concentration are served by at least
two freeways and public transit – the Greater Southdale area and the business/industrial park area north
of I-494 along TH 100.
Employers value locations that allow them to access a diverse talent pool from throughout the metro
area and are increasingly interested in transit service to reduce the cost of parking and respond to the
increased interest in transit among the younger generation. While there is some potential to reduce
commuting and congestion by creating employment locations close to where people live, the impact of
these strategies is likely to be limited because many households include two active workforce
participants and over the arc of their careers, they will likely change employers several times.
Figure 10.2: Employment Density
Employment density in Edina is most concentrated in the business and
industrial parks along Trunk Highway 100, just north of I-494. Other
concentrations are found near Grandview, 50th and France and the
industrial parks along US 169.

Edina’s Industry Clusters
Traded Industry Clusters
Several traded industry
clusters that sell goods and
services to other regions or
nations, are located in the
Southwest metro and Edina’s
business parks, as shown on
the following maps prepared
by the Metropolitan Council.
• Information technology
• Advanced manufacturing
• Headquarters and
advanced business
services
• Finance and insurance
The stong average wage
($73,122- $92,789) for these
industries builds wealth and
spending power in the
region.
Local Industry Clusters
Edina has several significant clusters dependent on local or regional
consumers including educational services, health care, retail trade, personal
services, leisure and hospitality. Employee compensation is significantly
lower in most local clusters, with the exception of health care.
Health Care is a cluster that has been targeted for special attention by the
Edina Chamber of Commerce. Fairview Southdale Hospital has served the
Southwest metro area since 1965. It is a full-service, 390-bed acute care
center, specializing in maternal and newborn care, oncology, mental health
treatment, eye care, vascular, spine, neurology, neurosurgery, urology, and
orthopedic surgery and joint replacement. It provides complete outpatient
care with a comprehensive 24-hour emergency department, urgent care for

evenings and weekends, diagnostic radiology and imaging, and a same day surgery center. It also offers a
wide selection of health education and wellness programs.
In addition to the hospital, there are
numerous smaller specialty clinics and
medical offices serving Edina. Most are
located in and around the Greater Southdale
area.
Edina’s Business and Industrial Parks
The four areas shown in light purple on
Figure 10.4 comprise the 390 acres of
industrially zoned land in the City of Edina.
These areas are well located on the region’s
freeway and transit system and offer proximity to
a diverse workforce, MSP international airport, as
well as hotels and restaurants.
Over the decades, business and industrial
parks in Edina met the needs of small to mid-
sized corporate headquarters as well as
businesses in key sectors of the regional
economy including finance and insurance,
medical technology, science and water
technology, information technology,
advanced business services (e.g. engineering,
accounting, legal) and advanced
manufacturing. However, Edina’s business
and industrial parks, built out in the 1950s,
60s and 70s, are aging.
Properties in Edina’s business and industrial parks typically
feature low-ceiling heights, lack windows and are not
structurally suitable for vertical expansion, and this limits their
attractiveness to many employers. Recently, several owner-
occupied facilities were remodeled with substantial increases in
amount of office space, windows and amenities for employees,
such as outdoor patios and facilities for bicyclists. The
economics of such substantial renovations may work for
owner-occupants who factor in multiple objectives and have a
long view of their investments, but the economics of renovating
facilities do not seem to be working on a widespread basis yet
for investors who own and lease out properties.
However, one property was substantially renovated by a landlord for a medical device firm in the park.
The property owner removed many bays from the multi-tenant property creating a much better work
environment for the medical device firm and an engineering lab. The medical device firm considered
other locations in the metro area, but rather than build in a greenfield location in the Shakopee area,
opted to remodel an existing facility because of the access to a broad spectrum of the workforce, transit

service and proximity to health care industry partners in the southwest metro. This international firm
also values access to area hotels, restaurants and MSP International for accommodating and entertaining
business visitors.
Some notable southwest metro office employers have
migrated to downtown Minneapolis and the North
Loop to attract millennial talent. Features like transit,
bike and pedestrian access as well as an environment
rich with dining and entertainment options are
attractive to this highly sought-after generation of
young workers. There are early indications that
suburban office, flex-office and value office
environments have an opportunity to be competitive
in the future due to the loss of parking and related
cost increases downtown and in the North Loop.
While the millennial generation may be attracted to
downtown in the early years out of school, as they
establish families, some may be motivated to find
different housing, school and the lifestyle options.
Edina’s convenient location, amenities and high quality
schools are likely to be attractive.
Business and Industrial Park Infrastructure and Amenities
Transit, Sidewalks, Trails Parks
Amenities and infrastructure in Edina’s business and industrial parks are also dated. Business and
industrial parks developed in the metro area in the 1990s integrated sidewalks and trails to better
address the needs of transit users and of employees interested in walking or running during a break or
over lunch. Some developments integrated commercial amenities valued by businesses and employees at
the entrances to business and industrial parks including banking, child care and dining. Some offered
picnic tables and trails adjacent to attractive storm water detention facilities and small park areas. More
recently, bicycle paths have been connected to regional trails and also to transit stops to help with “last
mile” connections between transit and employment locations. Enhanced transit stops with thoughtful
sidewalk and trail connections encourage transit use and would address safety issues, which can be a
barrier to transit users in areas that lack sidewalks, especially in winter conditions.
Storm Water
The storm water management systems in Edina’s business and industrial parks are outdated. The City
recently retained a consultant to prepare a plan for managing storm water in Pentagon Park. Similar
studies are needed for the city’s largest business park, located north and west of the I-494/TH 100
interchange. Nine Mile Creek passes through this area, which has implications for potential flooding and
storage of floodwaters. The area is also characterized by poor soil conditions, which makes
redevelopment and revitalization of the area more expensive. District storm water management
options could be evaluated as part of revitalization planning for the area. There may be opportunities to
partner with Nine Mile Creek Watershed District and the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail managed by

Three Rivers Park District to create amenities in the City’s largest business/industrial park, which could
serve as a stimulus to private reinvestment.
Regionally Significant Retail/Commercial Areas
Edina is home to two regionally significant
commercial areas
• Greater Southdale Area – a 739-acre
district developed beginning in the
1950s, includes a regional hospital and
related specialty clinics and
approximately 2.8 million square feet of
retail space. The district includes:
Southdale - the nation’s first indoor
shopping mall; Galleria – the MSP
region’s high end shopping mall; a
Westin Hotel; a concentration of
furniture and design-related retailers;
five grocery stores, five pharmacies
(not including clinic/hospital), banks,
offices, condos, apartments and
numerous retail and dining options.
• 50th and France- Edina’s “downtown” is
a district that is located in both Edina
and Minneapolis. Properties on the east
side of France are located in
Minneapolis. The 25-acre area (Edina
only) includes properties developed
from the 1930s to the present day. The
district meets the daily needs of area
residents with a full-service grocery,
movie theater, two pharmacies, post
office, banks, small medical and dental
practices, salons, national and local
clothing stores, boutiques, and a
growing number of dining establishments.
Smaller Commercial Nodes
Edina’s quality of life is enhanced by smaller commercial nodes focused primarily on the needs of local
residents. Wooddale/ValleyView, Grandview, 70th and Cahill and 44th and France serve primarily
neighborhood markets and typically involve locally-owned businesses and property owners from Edina
or with strong ties to the community. In addition to providing goods and services to area residents, the
smaller commercial nodes in Edina help build a sense of community and place.
Workforce
The Greater MSP region enjoys a high concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters and privately
held, globally leading companies like Cargill. There’s a rich ecosystem of business and professional
services and other infrastructure to support these global firms. As the baby boom generation
retires, it is very important for these companies and others throughout the metro area to
Figure 10.6: Regionally Significant Retail/
Commercial Areas
Edina Comprehensive Plan
10. Economic Competitiveness and Economic Development Chapter Draft 09-30-19
10-9
compete successfully for talent on a national and global basis. By 2020, the McKinsey Global
Institute projects a shortfall of 85 million high and middle-skilled workers globally. For the MSP
region, labor force shortages topping 62,000 are projected by 2020 (MN DEED MSP Regional
Forecast Overview, November 2017).
This competitive issue is motivating initiatives by organizations like GREATER MSP and the Itasca
Project. These initiatives are designed to:
• Attract diverse young talent from around the globe to the MSP region (www.makeitMSP.org)
• Tap the full potential of the region’s human capital by reducing disparities in education and
employment (The Itasca Project -competitive workforce)
• Strengthen the connection between employers and higher education to reduce the skills
mismatch, helping employers find the talent they need and helping job seekers find the work
they want (www.realtimetalent.org)
Like employers throughout the MSP region, Edina employers are experiencing talent recruitment
challenges and report that prospective employees seek transit access, housing within their
household’s budget, quality of life amenities and ongoing training and education to remain relevant
in their field of expertise.
Broadband Infrastructure
In the world today, many aspects of daily
life depend on or are enhanced by the
Internet and reliable broadband
infrastructure. Significant growth in
capacity will be needed to address the
increasing demands of businesses, residents
and major institutions for information,
communication, commerce, education,
recreation, health care, telecommuting,
security and life-style enhancement.
At this time, the City of Edina has limited
baseline information and has not explored
opportunities to ensure that the
competitive advantages of excellent
broadband service are available to the
City’s businesses, institutions and all city
residents.
Figure 10.7: City of Edina, Major Fiber Routes
Edina: A Community of Learning. Edina has a prized education system of high-
quality public schools. This chapter of the Comprehensive Plan recognizes the importance of
extending the benefits of education to the entire community.
Edina benefits from its location with access to TH-169, TH-62, TH-100, and I-494. Access to these
roadway facilities and other regional attractions (e.g., MSP Airport, Mall of America, and Southdale)
well positions the community to be economically competitive. As Edina’s business and industrial
facilities grow, opportunities to attract new talent and hire already present local talent will increase.
To potentiate these opportunities, the City, through its Economic Development Office, can work
with the school system to expose students to new businesses and the skills they will require in
future employees.

Trends and Challenges
Changing Workplaces
Workplaces are changing and many are being designed to attract the next generation of workers who
have grown up on mobile technology and relate to space differently. According to CBRE, a global real
estate and investment firm, since 1970 office space decreased from 600+ square feet per worker to
approximately 160 square feet per worker and by 2030 traditional workplaces will be in the minority.
Already 30-50% of new workplaces in western economies designed for major corporations reflect next
generation thinking. The new workplaces involve a wide variety of spaces: retreat and collaborative
settings; spaces that are calm or stimulating; spaces for introverts and extroverts; and an environment
that supports well-being, providing air, water, light, fitness and nourishment. Amenities are provided
within and around to find solitude, stimulation, engaging activities and build a sense of community. Also
important is the rediscovery and nurturing of authentic local identity and culture. Because of the pace
of change it will be important to build flexibility into everything. https://www.cbre.com/research-and-
reports/future-of-work Co-working represents another important trend in the evolution of the
workplace, providing space for occasional or consistent telecommuters as well as building an
entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Employers and developers seeking to create facilities that better meet the needs of today’s operations
and workforce must choose between renovating existing facilities, building on redevelopment sites or
building on greenfield sites. Greenfield sites, located in more distant suburbs such as Shakopee, Lakeville
or Rogers, are the least expensive from a construction perspective but offer limited access to workforce
or transit. Public transit providers find the economics of serving these remote areas challenging and
some employers in remote suburbs have opted to provide private bus options, while employees spend
long, un-paid hours commuting. The high value of properties and land in the core cities and inner ring
suburbs for uses such as housing, retail and consumer-oriented services creates a demand for
conversion of properties in employment-oriented business, office and industrial parks to housing or
consumer-oriented businesses; significant amounts of employment-oriented land in the core cities and
inner-ring suburbs have converted.
Edina’s Business and Industrial Parks
During the recession, manufacturing employment in the
seven-county metro area declined substantially, resulting in
significant vacancies in business and industrial parks
throughout the area. During the recession, new uses came
into Edina’s business parks at an accelerated pace.
According to brokers in an October 2017 focus group,
Edina made a change to its zoning ordinance
approximately 12 years earlier to allow for assembly (e.g.
religious organizations) and other purposes. Edina’s
zoning ordinance now allows for churches, schools,
storage and athletic facilities. This is not the case in Eden
Prairie, Chaska and some other suburbs. Because such
uses are not allowed in some other suburban business and

industrial parks, Edina may see an increased concentration of such uses.
When asked about this conversion to other uses, representatives of major development firms in the
metropolitan area participating an October 2017 economic development focus group, indicated that
uses like churches, storage and schools create a lack of coherence and confusion about the purpose and
image of the business and industrial park areas. When asked if the city should let this trend toward
schools, churches and storage continue, they responded that it would result in the area “spiraling
downward”. Instead, they recommended a focus on revitalizing the buildings and public realm in the
business and industrial parks and creating a clear focus on quality employment opportunities.
The developers identified “value office” as an emerging market for the types of property found in Edina’s
business and industrial parks. Property owners are renovating these properties by adding windows to
dark concrete structures, increasing office employment for tech, marketing, sales and management in
open floor plans, and adding amenities like patios. Smaller corporations – many that spin off larger
corporate headquarters in the metro - typically integrate management, sales and technology with some
production and warehousing functions and such buildings can work well for them. The transition to
“value office” increases employment at converted buildings. Typically parking may be available in areas
previously used for truck parking or truck movement on site, but some parking challenges may occur.
Strengthening infrastructure to encourage people to use transit and bicycles can reduce parking demand.
Possible adjustments to parking requirements should be examined in revitalization planning for the area.
Retail Transformation
The retail industry is experiencing transformation as consumer shopping patterns change to on-line
shopping and home delivery. Retail stores and shopping centers are rethinking their role in this rapidly
changing environment and exploring ways to successfully adapt. Creating “an experience” that
consumers can’t get on-line is critical to generating traffic to support brick and mortar stores. These
changes, which are underway globally, are expressed in higher vacancies and turnover in the retail sector
in the Greater Southdale area and at 50th and France.
Research by CBRE, The Future of Retail 2030, indicates
that a number of technology trends will impact how we
make purchases. From a real estate perspective,
technology and other trends are expected to have the
following impacts:
• Independent stores and food and beverage
operators will be more prevalent
• The traditional in-store physical point of purchase
will disappear, resulting in fewer employees
• Wellness establishments will grow and there will be
a diverse offering of fitness options
• Mundane purchases will be ordered and delivered
without traditional “shopping” and consumers will
increasingly see retail as a social and leisure
experience
• The divide between retail and leisure will blur. Leisure
activities including cinemas, food and beverage, bowling,

ice skating will bring traffic; retailers will create opportunities for an experience in their
stores.
• People will spend money on products, services and experiences, with an increased emphasis
on experiences
• Personal ownership of vehicles will be reduced dramatically and fleets of driverless vehicles
will reduce the demand for parking
Regionally Significant Retail/Commercial Areas
Edina’s regional retail districts are evolving with mixed-use lifestyle developments emerging in the 50th
and France and Greater Southdale/Galleria/Centennial Lakes areas of Edina. These developments
include:
• More dining and entertainment options
• New hotel, condo and residential rental developments
• An increased focus on pedestrian-oriented environments with the Promenade in the
Southdale area and attractive outdoor plazas
• The location of a Life Time Fitness “diamond level” club at Southdale – with co-working,
advanced dietary, physical therapy, chiropractic and proactive medical care
Health Care as an Opportunity
The health care sector is one of the fastest growing segments of the economy nationally and regionally.
Growth is expected to continue as the large “baby boom” generation creates an increased demand for
medical services. The 65+ population, which typically accounts for the highest per capita health care
spending, is expected to grow in Hennepin County by 37% between 2015 and 2025 and by 71% between
2016 and 2040.
Some notable trends for this sector include:
• Many specialty clinics, medical offices and other facilities prefer close proximity to hospital
campuses
• In addition to an aging population, investment in new technology will drive facility renovation
and new construction
• Cost containment is driving a trend to lower cost delivery settings, including medical office
buildings, urgent care and day-surgery facilities
• New payment systems will favor medical office space that creates opportunities for
collaboration to help providers minimize costs and maximize outcomes
• Patient recovery in hotels located near medical campuses, removes patients from high-cost
hospital beds, while allowing them to conveniently access medical services. Such hotels can also
serve family members of hospitalized patients. Several such facilities have been created in the
MSP metro area in recent years, including Hilton hotels near Abbott Northwestern and TRIA
Orthopedic in Bloomington and a Marriott Courtyard near TRIA Orthopedic in Woodbury.
Medical offices can generate significant tax base and diverse employment opportunities, while providing
important services to residents of Edina and the southwest metro. As the retail footprint shrinks and
changes in the Greater Southdale area, the growth of the health care sector presents an important
opportunity for the community.

Smaller Commercial Nodes
Smaller commercial nodes such as Wooddale/ValleyView, Grandview, 70th and Cahill and 44th and
France serve important functions in their neighborhoods, providing services to area residents and
building a sense of community and place. The businesses and properties are often family-owned. Such
businesses and properties experience transitions when owners retire, sell or pass businesses or
properties to the next generation. Reinvestment of the properties varies based on owner goals. In
some cases, retail uses are no longer as competitive and there has been a transition to office and dining.
Examples include:
• transition of a former service station at Wooddale
Valleyview to a neighborhood dining establishment
• the transition of Durr at 44th and France from
retail to mixed use (office and retail)
• redevelopment of the Edina Cleaners site at 44th
and France to mixed use, including residential and
dining
Some properties may become physically obsolete and/or less desirable. Second or third generation
property owners may not be focused on active management or reinvestment in the properties, or
struggle with decision-making among multiple family members. There may be trouble attracting quality
tenants and the areas may experience higher turnover. Such areas cease to meet resident needs and no
longer serve a role in building a sense of community. In such cases, the city and neighboring property
owners have an interest in redevelopment or revitalization and maintaining an attractive tenant mix. In
the case of Wooddale/Valleyview, the City recently invested in improvements to the public realm.
The independence of the business and property owners in the smaller commercial nodes is both a
strength and a weakness. Malls and strip centers have more control over store hours, address shared
maintenance (e.g. snow plowing, seasonal plantings and decorations) and coordinate marketing and
promotional activities. A business and property owners association was established at 50th and France
75 years ago and special legislation established a special services district at 50th and France, which
addresses maintenance of the parking ramps and the public realm in the district. The Association’s
primary focus in recent years has been the annual Edina Art Fair, which also serves as a primary source
of revenue for the group.
Some businesses and property owners at 44th and France are affiliated with the Linden Hills Business
Association, but the level of engagement, particularly among property owners does not appear to be
consistent or strong. Business and property owners associations do not exist at Edina’s other
commercial nodes – 70th and Cahill, Wooddale/ValleyView, Grandview or the Greater Southdale Area.
Business and property owners associations can serve several vital functions in maintaining the economic
vitality and community orientation of smaller commercial nodes. Key functions include:
• clarifying a vision and strategy for the node, including a strategic tenant mix
• regular communication among stakeholders
• strengthening design and appearance
• working together on marketing and promotion

• coordination of shared parking and other tactics to strengthen a district.
Engagement of property owners is critical, because they determine the tenant mix and ultimately make
the investments needed to keep an area adapting to market changes over time. Because change is
occurring on so many fronts at once – demographic, transportation, housing, technology, and the ways
consumers “shop”, it is especially important for independent business and property owners to share
information and strategies to adapt successfully.
Workforce
Workforce Attraction
Edina contributes to the region’s capacity to attract talent to the region by offering vibrant places to live,
recreate, shop and work. Awareness of millennial preferences should be incorporated into revitalization
planning.
Education and Training
The pace of change is expected to accelerate, requiring up-skilling of the workforce on an on-going
basis. For Edina, there are implications for both the employers who need appropriately skilled talent
and residents, who may want to improve their skills. Although Edina does not have a public university
or college campus, Minnesota State University Mankato located its extended campus in the metro area
in Edina at 7700 France Ave South, offering a range of academic programs, from professional
certifications to undergraduate and graduate degrees.
Diversity and Inclusion
Globally leading companies seek workforce diversity because a diverse workforce has been documented
to increase innovation, provide stronger connections to a more diverse customer base and achieve
better decisions and financial results. Cities, chambers and businesses across the county have adopted
initiatives to promote diversity and inclusion and create welcoming communities.
Broadband Infrastructure
Access to high speed internet, through reliable broadband infrastructure, is critical for health care
education and government institutions, commercial and industrial areas as well as residential areas.
Some counties and cities have undertaken a variety of initiatives to ensure competitive and equitable
service in their communities. Strategies include:
• Establish “build once/open access” policies and install conduit during major road reconstruction
and other redevelopment projects, especially in congested areas, to ensure competition,
redundancy resilience and minimize the cost and disruption associated with updating
underground infrastructure
• Establish broadband readiness guidelines to encourage developers to bring conduit new and
renovated buildings to make them ready for broadband.
• Addressing internet access limitations faced by residents of older apartment buildings, which can
limit resident access to education, health care and work-related communications.
• Building broadband infrastructure shared by cities, school districts and other institutions to
reduce costs and improve services, including traffic control

Goal: Support strong public-private alliances, relationships and communication channels at 50th and
France and the Greater Southdale. The alliances should actively engage property owners and provide
information and resources that enable public and private sector decision-makers to adapt strategically
in an era of significant on-going change in the retail sector, major demographic shifts and related
generational needs and preferences, technology, transit, transportation and housing choices. A shared
vision, guiding principles and meaningful on-going dialogue can help property owners, business owners,
residents and the city navigate the significant forces of changes that are reshaping communities.
1. Support the creation of an association in the Greater Southdale area that engages major
institutions and property owners to work together to revitalize the Greater Southdale area
consistent with the small area plan guiding principles.
2. Provide support to the 50th and France Association to enable the association to adapt
successfully to dynamic changes underway in the market. Near term, research into implications
of market changes and a strategic tenant mix could guide infill of the current influx of available
retail space and future redevelopment opportunities.

11. Human Rights and Relations
Chapter Highlights
This Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan describes
Edina’s goals and policies that have been developed
by the Human Rights and Relations Commission to
ensure that City departments, programs, officials
and staff are working to “Build a Human Rights City
with Race Equity For All.” Before outlining these
specific goals and policies, the chapter discusses the
important difference between achieving “equality”
and striving for “equity” in all aspects of City
governance.
This chapter:
• Describes the public policy of Edina to
secure for all residents freedom from
discrimination in all aspects of city life, and
the City’s establishment of the Human
Rights and Relations Commission to further
its public policy of nondiscrimination
• Discusses Edina’s commitment to reduce
discrimination, inequality and racism
through Resolution No. 2016-72 that
established the City as a “Human Rights
City”
• Describes the City’s participation in the
Government Alliance on Race and Equity
and explains the differences between the
concept of equality and the goal of
advancing race equity
• Discusses the current state of human rights
and relations in Edina
• Outlines areas of concern where work
needs to be done to achieve race equity, and to advance opportunities and ensure a welcoming
community for all
One of the aims of this chapter is to ensure that steps are taken to ensure that the City looks at its
departments, program, services, and practices through the lens of race equity and thus reinforces the
City’s status as a “Human Rights City.” Of particular concern is equity in the areas of: housing,
community services and facilities, parks and recreation, and environment. Goals discussed in this
chapter are focused on:
• Establishing a race equity plan,
• Ensuring equal access and opportunities for all residents,
• Ensuring that the City welcomes all members of the community to participate in its social,
employment, economic, political, and recreational activities,

• Ensuring that the City supports and fosters economic equity and justice for all residents,
students and visitors, and
• Ensuring that economic harm should not be an intended or unintended consequence of City
programs, initiatives, or activities.
Introduction
The City of Edina has long been recognized as an exceptionally livable and desirable community.
Livability is best described by Bruce Appleyard in Transportation Research Record: Journal of the
Transportation Research Board (2014), as “an individual’s ability to readily access opportunities to
improve personal quality of life for living, working, playing, shopping, learning, worshipping, resting and
moving within [a] city, town, or neighborhood.” However, not all Edina residents, students and visitors
experience these opportunities in the same way, nor with the same degree of success.
It is the public policy of the City of Edina to secure for all residents of the City freedom from
discrimination because of race, color, creed, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression,
marital status, disability, status with regard to public assistance, familial status, or national origin in
connection with employment, housing and real property, public accommodations, public services, credit
and education [Edina City Ordinance 15.01]. In 1970, the City of Edina established the Human Rights
and Relations Commission (Commission) to promote and help implement its public policy of
nondiscrimination. The Commission is charged with the responsibility to advise the City Council on
matters relating to discrimination and human relations and to implement programs of education and
community action designed to advance public policy regarding human rights [Edina City Ordinance
1501.02]. The Commission advocates for human rights and needs in the community and promotes
responsibility and integrity in human relationships by providing service, information and
recommendations, cooperating with other communities and governmental organizations, and sponsoring
forums and community events.
In 2016, the City of Edina became a Human Rights City. This is a commitment to “reducing
discrimination, inequality, racism, and xenophobia in all aspects of civic life: housing, education, economic
opportunity, religious and cultural expression, access to public institutions and opportunities, and safety
and security” [City of Edina Resolution No. 2016-72 Establishing Edina, Minnesota as a Human Rights
City].
In 2017, Edina joined the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE), which is a national network
of governments working to achieve racial equity and advance opportunities for all. The work involves
using a race equity framework to create long-term sustainable results on race equity in all aspects of
government. Achieving race equity means that race will no longer predict a person’s success, while also
improving the outcomes for everyone.
This Comprehensive Plan chapter outlines goals and policies that will foster an inclusive and engaged
community, i.e., a welcoming community where every person can contribute, thrive, and enjoy the
benefits that the City of Edina has to offer.
The Commission recognizes in its work that there is a difference between equity and equality and that it
is critical that this difference is taken into account when addressing human rights and relations. Equality
implies that the same resources are provided for everyone regardless of background or circumstance.
Equity implies that everyone is given the resources needed to have an equal chance of succeeding, with

those facing more obstacles to success receiving the resources needed to overcome them. This
concept is illustrated below on Figure 11.1.
The Commission’s recent activities have included
1) Advocacy for rights for domestic partners
2) Advocacy for gay marriage
3) Programming to promote inter-ethnic, inter-generational, and inter-religious understanding
4) Advocacy for affordable housing
5) Public recognition of those who advocate for and promote human rights
6) Advocacy to end all forms of discrimination against women
7) Community response to bias offenses
8) Participation in the City’s Race and Equity Initiative
9) Ex Officio involvement in the City’s participation in the Government Alliance on Race and Equity
(GARE)
Current Conditions
In 2015, the City of Edina formally adopted a Vision Statement that describes Edina as “a … preeminent
place for living, learning, raising families and doing business.” In order for Edina to live up to its adopted
vision and reputation for livability, discriminatory acts and inequities that might be experienced by
residents and visitors to Edina should be prevented. Moreover, efforts should be made to ensure that
when such acts occur, appropriate action will be taken. These efforts require an understanding of
current demographic and socio-economic information.
The Edina Community is made up of families and individuals of all ethnicities, but a majority of residents
are European Americans (85 percent). Additionally, 7.1 percent are Asian Americans, 2.2 percent are
African Americans, 2.1 percent are more than one race, 1.8 percent are other races, and 0.2 percent
are Native Americans. African-American families played a prominent role in settling Edina, but
European-American families became dominant during the 20th century. This was in part due to
restrictive covenants which prevented people of color from owning or leasing property in entire
neighborhoods. Parts of Edina were subject to these covenants, which have been outlawed since the
Shelly v. Kramer United States Supreme Court ruling of 1948.
Negative Race-Related Experiences in the City of Edina
Discrimination and inequities may be experienced by residents and visitors in an array of contexts. In
recognizing the unwelcoming dynamic experienced by some community members, including people of
color, the City began a race and equity initiative in 2017 to “identify and eliminate race-based disparities
in Edina city government facilities, services and institutions” [City Manager Scott Neal, in December 6,
2016 Staff Report to City Council on Establishing an Edina Race & Equity Task Force].

Edina Comprehensive Plan
Human Rights and Relations Chapter Draft 09-30-19

The initiative was led by a task force of Edina residents who oversaw the collection of data and the
development of recommendations for the City Council, with the objective “to determine what changes
could be made to ensure that Edina is a welcoming community for all people” [Race & Equity Initiative
Final Report & Recommendations, Version 2.0, Finalized June 26, 2018, (“Report”) Purpose and
Objectives, page 18].
As set forth in the Report, “[t]o understand the scope of race-based discrimination and feelings of being
unwelcome, data was collected from a range of Edina community members during the summer, fall, and
winter months of 2017.” The Report found that “20 themes consistently emerged surrounding
experiences, observations, and awareness of race-based discrimination” including the following.
• Parks: “Edina parks are places where community members have experienced racism primarily
through racial slurs and race-based vandalism.”
• Other Facilities: “There are observations and experiences of race-based harassment and race-
based violence at various city facilities….”
• Lack of Representation / Decision Making: “Many observe that there are few or no people of
color that represent the city of Edina in government leadership, nor in government-appointed
groups.”
• Hiring Practices and Procedures: “There is uneasiness and suspicion around how race plays a
role in government hiring practices.”
• Responsiveness to Race-Based Concerns: “Many feel the city responds poorly to reports of
race-based discrimination, or that the city does not respond at all.”
• Police Department: “There is significant concern about police conduct with people of color.”
• City Housing Programs: “Perceptions exist that city-based housing programs and policies are
contributing to the lack of people of color in Edina.”
• Other Services: “There is a perceived lack of inclusion in the process for how city services are
designated and delivered.”
Report, Community Findings, pages 25-30. See Report for more complete findings.
As Edina prepares for the next two decades, addressing these experiences will be essential to ensure
that Edina is a welcoming, inclusive, and engaged community.
Edina: A Community of Learning. Edina has a prized education system of high-
quality public schools. This chapter of the Comprehensive Plan recognizes the importance of
extending the benefits of education to the entire community by Increasing multi-generational
learning through expanded mentoring and tutoring opportunities that involve school-age children,
and their parents, senior citizens, local businesses and institutions, and health care facilities.
Collaborating with the Edina public schools, Edina’s Human Rights and Relations Commission
can play an important role in the community by engaging students and educating them on the
City’s programs and initiatives that address equality and equity for all. Opportunities exist for the
Human Rights Commission, in partnerships with the Arts and Culture and Heritage Preservation
Commissions, to expand residents’ understanding of equality and equity by recognizing and
honoring people of color and other marginalized groups who have contributed to Edina’s growth
and prosperity.

Trends, Challenges, and Themes
To grasp the policy implications of current and future human rights and relations issues, it is essential to
know the demographic composition of Edina and how those demographics relate to income and other
factors. The Human Right and Relations Commission notes that national data collection is based on
categories that may not reflect the same demographic composition of our community; for example,
recent immigrants from African may or may not be included in a category, i.e., African American.
Trends
The population of Edina grew from 45,569 in 2009 to 49,976 in 2016. Population growth by race
between 1980 and 2016 can be seen in detail below in Table 11. 1. While the white population of Edina
has grown since 1980, the proportion of Edina that is white has decreased from 98.4 percent in 1980 to
86.5 percent in 2016. As Table 11.1 indicates, there has been a trend toward racial and ethnic diversity
in Edina. The largest increase in population share was the Asian American population, which grew from
nearly 1 percent in 1980 to 7 percent of the City’s population 2016, with 4 percent of that growth
occurring since 2000.
Table 11.1: Percent of Edina Population by Race, 1980-2016
1980 1990 2000 2010 2016
White or European American 98.4% 97.2% 94.3% 88.1% 86.5%
Black or African American 0.5% 0.7% 1.2% 3.0% 2.2%
American Indian and Alaska Native 0.1% 0.1% 0.1% 0.2% 0.2%

Challenges
In the past ten years, median incomes of most racial and ethnic groups have broadly diverged.
American-Indian/Alaska-Native and African-American residents have seen significant reductions in
median household income throughout the past ten years: Native-American residents by roughly two-
thirds and African-American residents by about one-third. African-American residents have also had the
lowest median household incomes through nearly the entire 2008-2016 period. By contrast, the median
household incomes of European-American and Asian-American residents have steadily increased by
roughly one-quarter. Hispanic/Latino, Two or More Races, and Other Races have had fluctuating
median household incomes in the same period.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Human Rights and Relations Chapter Draft 09-30-19
11-6
Through participation in GARE and the City’s Race and Equity Initiative, the Commission recognizes that
the City’s policies and practices may currently work better for white people than for people of color
who live, work, or study in Edina, even though unintentionally and inadvertently. The impact of such
policies, combined with the recognized history of discriminatory practices such as Edina’s restrictive
covenants, creates a system that can negatively impact communities of color. Making race equity a
priority will help close the gap on race as a predictor of a person’s success. This will improve outcomes
relative to all social capital/social well-being indicators.
Goals and Policies
Goal 1: Establish Race Equity Plan
Eliminate any disparate impact of City policies and operations caused by race. Ensure city policies,
practices and programs are equitable for all community members. The five policies below are based on
the Edina Race and Equity Task Force’s five thematic recommendations.
Policy 1: The City will develop accountability measures to monitor, assess, and evaluate progress
toward race equity goals.
Policy 2: The City will build relationships with communities of color.
Policy 3: The City will gather and analyze data in a way that provides an understanding of the difference
in experiences of people of color.
Policy 4: The City will take steps to address inclusion in city staffing, communications, and
appointments.
Policy 5: The City will focus on eliminating policies that create and maintain inequities based on race.

Goal 2: Ensure equal access and opportunities for all residents regardless of their gender
or sexual orientation.
Policy 1: The City will ensure that all public policy decisions account for the differential impacts on
women and LGBTQ+ individuals.
Policy 2: The City will use the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women
(CEDAW), passed in Edina in 2016, as a framework for improving the conditions of women
and girls in Edina.
Policy 3: The City will support efforts to ensure equal pay and fair employment practices for all people
regardless of sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
Policy 4: The City will promote preventive education about gender-based violence, sexual assault, and
sexual harassment in schools.
Goal 3: Ensure that the City welcomes all members of the community to participate in its
social, employment, economic, political, and recreational activities.
Policy 1: The City will create an intentional community engagement plan.
Policy 2: The City will continue to improve transparency and access to local government for all.
Policy 3: The City will ensure accessibility to city facilities, services, and programs for residents with
physical and other disabilities.
Goal 4: Ensure that the City supports and fosters economic equity and justice for all
residents. Economic harm should not be an intended or unintended consequence
of City programs, initiatives, or activities.

12. Community Health
Chapter Highlights
• Edina strives for a high standard of health overall,
although specific concerns and racial and
economic disparities exist that need to be
addressed.
• Understanding of health concerns is limited by the
lack of community-specific data.
• Changing demographics and aging in the
community will continue to change health
outcomes and needs.
• Public health is impacted by a range of social and
environmental factors that require a multi-faceted
approach across all of the city.
• Health in all policies provides an approach to
comprehensively address health concerns across
the full city government, in cooperation with
partners.
Introduction
Public health is the art, practice and science of protecting
and improving the health of the population. Public health
is about what makes us healthy, what makes us sick, and
what we can do together about it. When we think about
health, what often comes to mind is the individual and
ways he or she can stay healthy. Public health shifts the
focus to the population – from me to all of us.
Research suggests that around 80% of health outcomes
are influenced by the environment and by human
behavior. As a result, comprehensive planning can have a
significant impact on the factors that contribute to health,
by shaping the environment and helping to positively
impact behavior in ways that lead to healthier
communities and people.
There are a number of principles underlying public health:
• Public health is about prevention. This means
intervening early and keeping people from getting
sick or injured.
• Public health is about populations. This means
focusing on groups of people rather than single
individuals.
• Public health is about overall wellness. This
means the broadest possible view of what makes and keeps us healthy including our
mental health, everyday health choices, and our surroundings – not just health care
services.

Edina Comprehensive Plan
Community Health Chapter Draft 09-30-19
12-2
• Public health is about local needs. This means identifying what a community needs to
improve health and assuring effective action which uses local assets to solve unique
challenges.
The mission of the Edina Public Health Division is to protect the health and promote the general
well-being and welfare of the city’s residents, and to prevent disease and illness in the community.
Accomplishing this mission involves a range of programs and initiatives, run directly by the City
and through its public partners. This chapter provides a policy framework for continued progress
on the division’s mission and goals.
However, the vision for a healthy community in Edina is bigger than just the charge to one
division. This chapter also outlines a “health in all policies” approach, wherein health is
systematically addressed and included in policies throughout the plan. Addressing health and
wellness is essential to ensuring a sustainable community, and to maintaining the high quality of
life enjoyed by Edina’s residents.
Background
The city has long had a Public Health Department, and the promotion of public health is a core
value which is promulgated through numerous regulations and initiatives – both directly through
the city and in partnership with others.
The City of Edina is designated as a Community Health Board (CHB) by Minnesota Statute 145A.
A CHB is the legal governing authority for local public health in Minnesota, and community health
boards work with the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) to promote the public's health.
The City Council acts as the CHB governing body and is responsible for fulfilling the statutory
duties of a CHB, which are to:
1. Assure an adequate local public health infrastructure by maintaining the basic foundational
capacities of a well-functioning public health system that include:
o Data analysis and utilization
o Health planning
o Partnership development and community mobilization
o Policy development, analysis and decision support
o Communication
o Public health research, evaluation and quality improvement
Example: Assess health priorities with community input; develop community health improvement
plans to address identified needs and monitor progress.
2. Promote healthy communities and healthy behavior through activities that improve health
in a population, such as:
o Investing in healthy families
o Engaging communities to change policies, systems or environments to promote
positive health or prevent adverse health
o Providing information and education about healthy communities or population
health status
o Addressing issues of health equity, health disparities, and the social determinants
of health
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Community Health Chapter Draft 09-30-19
12-3
Example: Minimize tobacco use and exposure among residents through policy change such as
raising the purchasing age to 21 years (“Tobacco 21 Ordinance”).
3. Prevent the spread of communicable disease by preventing diseases that are caused by
infectious agents through:
o Detecting acute infectious diseases
o Ensuring the reporting of infectious diseases
o Preventing the transmission of infectious diseases
o Implementing control measures during infectious disease outbreaks
Example: Monitor immunization levels and perform outreach to high-risk groups; run
immunization clinics; investigate outbreaks and conduct contact interviews with exposed
individuals.
4. Protect against environmental health hazards by addressing aspects of the environment
that pose risks to human health, such as:
o Monitoring air and water quality
o Developing policies and programs to reduce exposure to environmental health
risks and promote healthy environments
o Identifying and mitigating environmental risks such as food and waterborne
diseases, radiation, occupational health hazards, and public health nuisances
Example: Conduct restaurant and swimming pool inspections, respond to reports of unsanitary
and uninhabitable housing conditions, and inspect indoor air quality of parking garages in multi-
unit dwellings.
5. Prepare and respond to emergencies by engaging in activities that prepare public health
departments to respond to events and incidents and assist communities in recovery, such
as:
o Providing leadership for public health preparedness activities within a community
o Developing, exercising and periodically reviewing response plans for public health
threats
o Developing and maintaining a system of public health workforce readiness,
deployment and response
Example: Share resources with Bloomington and Richfield for Public Health Emergency
Preparedness activities; hold events simulating natural disasters or mass dispensing of medication
in response to an outbreak or other threat. See Community Services and Facilities chapter for
more information on emergency preparedness measures.
6. Assure health services by engaging in activities such as:
o Assessing the availability of health-related services and health care providers in
local communities
o Identifying gaps and barriers in services
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Community Health Chapter Draft 09-30-19
12-4
o Convening community partners to improve community health systems
o Providing services identified as priorities by the local assessment and planning
process
Example: The City’s annual agreement with Edina Public Schools to provide funding for chemical
dependency services.
Current Conditions
Municipal Structures
The Edina Community Health Commission (CHC) is comprised of volunteer residents serving in
an advisory capacity to the Edina CHB (City Council). A representative of the CHB is appointed
annually to represent the City on the State Community Health Services Advisory Committee
(SCHSAC). A CHC member has filled the SCHSAC seat in recent years.
The Health Division of the Edina Police Department provides Environmental Public Health
services to residents, such as regulation of food, pool, lodging, body art, and massage
establishments, housing and code enforcement inspections, noise complaint response, and public
health nuisance investigations.
Additional Public Health services such as health education and promotion, communicable disease
prevention programs, public health nursing services, home health visits, maternal and child health
services, health assessments and public health emergency preparedness are provided to Edina
residents through a contract with Bloomington Public Health.
Population Health Status
It is difficult to assess the health status of Edina residents at the population level. This is in large
part due to a lack of Edina-specific health data. Where data are available (often because it can be
aggregated by zip code following statewide data collection), there are frequently limitations to
what can be inferred, in part related to data privacy concerns regarding the sharing of health
information for individuals. Some examples providing key, albeit imperfect, information about
Edina residents are below:
Incidence of Chronic Disease.
According to the Minnesota Department of Health, Edina has low rates of hospitalization from
both chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as well as asthma when compared to
neighboring suburbs. While COPD predominantly affects the elderly, asthma hospitalization is a
greater risk for pediatric populations, especially those living below federal poverty levels. In an
effort to maintain strong respiratory health at all ages by preventing tobacco use, exposure and
addiction, in 2017 the City passed an ordinance limiting tobacco sales to those over age 21.
Youth Health
The Minnesota Student Survey is another rich data source. The survey is administered every
three years of middle school and high school grades with voluntary participation. Data are
available at the school district level, including Edina School District. More information about the
survey and recent results can be found in a resource section at the end of the chapter Consistent
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Community Health Chapter Draft 09-30-19
12-5
with other health data, Edina students typically are above statewide averages in terms of their
well-being.
Reflecting broader regional and state trends, there has been a consistent reported decline over
the past ten years in many of the risky and negative behaviors tracked among students. There are
a few notable exceptions:
• Recent data show a possible upward trend in alcohol/tobacco use among 9th grade girls.
It also confirms the uptick of e-cigarette consumption. Rates are still below state averages
for the same time period.
• There has been a reported increase in online bullying, counter to a trend of declining
physical bullying.
• There has been a substantial increase in the number of students reporting that they have
been treated for a mental health, emotional, or behavioral problem, particularly among
girls.
Adult Health
Another source of information that can help to triangulate current health conditions in Edina is
the Adult Survey of the Health of All Populations and the Environment (SHAPE). In Hennepin
County, SHAPE has been administered every four years since 1998, surveying randomly chosen
adults about their health. In this survey, Edina is grouped with Richfield and Fort Snelling in the
category of South Suburbs – Inner Ring. While it captures some overall health perceptions and
specific conditions such as overweight, asthma, diabetes and hypertension, it is very difficult to
evaluate where Edina sits relative to other communities in this area. Overall, the survey suggests
that the majority of people in the area think their health is excellent or very good (over 65%),
and that the highest reported health concerns are being overweight (33%) or having high
cholesterol (32%). It is unknown if these aggregate numbers represent Edina.
The City of Edina 2017 Quality of Life Survey asked a few questions of residents related to health,
summarized below:
• 92% thought health and wellness opportunities in Edina are “excellent” or “good.”
• 86% thought the City’s public health services were “excellent” or “good.”
• 4% had been in contact with the health department during the course of the year.
• 75% thought fitness opportunities (including exercise classes and paths or trails, etc.) are
“excellent” or “good.”
• 1500 surveys were sent out with 477 respondents for a 34% response rate to the 2017
Quality of Life Survey.
In terms of understanding baseline health status and trends over time, it would be highly beneficial
if Edina were able to build on these sort of satisfaction-driven questions as well as collect baseline
city-specific data relevant to disease prevalence, mental health needs, environmental exposures,
or other metrics.
Health Care Resources
In addition to the community health services provided through the Health Department, there are
private health services and facilities serving Edina.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Community Health Chapter Draft 09-30-19
12-6
Generally speaking, the Edina area has excellent access to health care facilities, as well as health
education and wellness programs. In addition to a level two trauma center within the City, there are
numerous smaller specialty clinics, medical offices, dental services, and ambulatory surgical centers
serving Edina. Most are located in and around the Greater Southdale area. At the regional level, other
major medical centers provide access to specialty care as needed.
Trends, Challenges and Opportunities
Many factors combine to affect the health of individuals and communities. At the time this plan
was developed, the following factors were emerging or priority issues to be addressed over the
next ten years:
Health, Economic, and Racial Disparities
Disparities exist across many factors in the city including health, economics, and race. Structural
inequities occur when structures or systems of society—such as finance, housing, transportation,
education, social opportunities, etc.—are designed in such a way that they benefit one population
unfairly (whether intended or not). One example of a disparity in Edina is that from 2012-2016 there
were lower than average rates of health insurance coverage among certain groups including non-US
citizens (83.1%), people with less than a high school education (80.0%), and individuals of color (89.6%
for Black or African American; 81.5% for Alaska Native or American Indian; 74.4% for Hispanic or
Latino) despite fairly high health insurance rates in the city overall (97.4%).
Premature death, defined as dying before age 65, is used to identify largely preventable causes of death
impacting our community. On average from 2013-2015, 10% of white individuals died before 65
compared to 31% of individuals of color living in Edina. Blacks in Edina are especially disparate with 42%
of premature deaths. Additionally, according to 9th grade responses in the 2016 Minnesota Student
Survey, 64% and 44% of Hispanic and Black students respectively respond to enrollment in Free and
Reduced Lunch program compared to just 3% of white students in Edina. See the resource section at
the end of the chapter for further illustrations of racial and income disparities in Edina.
Edina: A Community of Learning. Edina has a prized education system of high-quality
public schools. The Community Health chapter of the Comprehensive Plan recognizes the importance
of extending the benefits of education to the entire community, and to people at all stages of life.
Public education about health is a core component of the Public Health Division’s role, including:
• Conducting and sharing research and analysis to support policy and program development
• Providing information and education about healthy communities or population health status
• Tracking public health indicators in Edina, and working to expand the amount and quality of
data available
• Working with Edina Public Schools on public health partnerships
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Community Health Chapter Draft 09-30-19
12-7
Transportation & Mobility
Transportation is an integral component of an individual’s health, from utilizing transportation to access
healthy foods and healthcare, to walking and biking for exercise as well as travel. The City will consider
the health benefits of an active transportation system when development and road construction projects
are designed and constructed. Adequate transit access is another part of a transportation system that
supports healthy living. While a ‘circulator’ for seniors debuted in 2018, it will be important to build
upon and track success with that investment.
Access to Healthy Foods
While Edina has an array of healthy food resources, it has fewer community food service programs than
both Bloomington and Richfield, according to a 2013 Community Food Assessment. See the resource
section at the end of the chapter for a map of Edina Community Food Asset Locations and additional
information from the assessment. It will be important to assess whether the food service programs
provided are adequate to meet existing and future community needs.
Aging Population
The aging population will require adjustments in many areas, from expansion of care facilities to adding
senior-focused recreational opportunities. According to the 2012-2016 American Community Survey,
disability rates are higher for seniors in Edina. 60% of those aged 65 and older are disabled (two-thirds
of those are over age 75). This includes hearing, vision, cognitive, ambulatory and self-care difficulties.
Providing a full spectrum of community services to support aging in place will be critical.
Mental Health and Social Connectedness
There is an increasing need for mental health services for all ages in the city, from elementary and
middle school children to seniors. Social connectedness contributes to improved mental and physical
health in people of all ages. In older adults, social conditions like loneliness and isolation have a significant
negative impact on long-term health and wellbeing. As Edina continues to age and the number of adults
living alone continues to increase, strategies to address social isolation will become important to
improve community health.
According to the 2014 SHAPE survey, nearly 25% of the population in Hennepin County had been
diagnosed with depression and another more than 20% with anxiety. The numbers were slightly higher
in the south suburbs (which would include Edina) than the county at large. While it is not possible to
tease out Edina specifically given the survey design, these are staggering numbers that indicate the need
for mental health support in our community and surrounding areas. As noted in the Youth Health
section, the Minnesota Student Survey indicates that mental health concerns are surfacing among the
younger generation as well.
Addiction and opioid abuse/overdose are growing issues across the state, as well, including in Hennepin
County. Municipal activities such as first responder training with naloxone (an opioid antagonist used to
reverse overdose) are important, as are sufficient community resources to address mental health needs,
treatment, and prevention.
Housing
Safe and affordable housing is one of the most basic and powerful social determinants of health. Quality
housing improves the health of vulnerable populations and is a cornerstone of a strong and healthy
community. The City will continuously evaluate housing policies and regulations to provide safe and
affordable housing for residents of all ages, cultural backgrounds, and social demographics. This might
include enhanced efforts to address the large proportion of homes that register elevated radon levels.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Community Health Chapter Draft 09-30-19
12-8
The City will also look at ways to support sustainable housing. Homelessness disparities were
pronounced among black 9th graders in Edina (14% compared to 5% among white students) as
measured in the 2016 Minnesota Student Survey. Additional information on affordable housing in Edina
is provided in the Housing Chapter.
Recommendations
To effectively address the trends and challenges identified above, it is recommended that Edina
commit to the following actions:
Enhance Data Collection
Collection of quality health-related data, especially at the city level, is becoming increasingly difficult and
expensive. Traditional survey methods like mail or landline telephone use are typically answered by only
certain demographics which results in poor quality data that does not represent the community as a
whole. The City will research and invest in collection methods for quality, city-specific health data to
better inform local decisions. The City will study best practices, including around privacy protections,
and work to design a comprehensive public health survey that can be used consistently from year to
year with flexibility to ask detailed questions about emerging trends.
Address Social Determinants of Health
Health is a critical aspect of planning. In fact, a community’s plan for housing, transportation, land use,
parks, and economic development encompasses the largest factors that determine one’s health. “Social
determinants of health” are structural factors and conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work
and age. Most premature deaths are connected to these determinants, like air and water quality or
access to physical activity and healthy food. Since the practice of community planning plays a significant
role in shaping the built environment, local planning can have real and significant impacts on community
health. The comprehensive plan is a tool to strategically increase health and reduce health disparities for
all.

Planning Workshop
Use a Health in All Policies Approach
“Health in All Policies” is a collaborative approach to improve health by incorporating health
considerations into decision-making across all policy areas. A Health in All Policies approach will be
embedded in decision-making across all policy areas within the city. Questions to be addressed while
pursuing this strategy include:
a. Does it empower those that live and work in Edina to support their physical,
mental and social well-being?
b. How does this decision affect social determinants of health?
c. How will this decision reduce health disparities and improve health equity?
i. Health Disparity – When a health outcome is seen to a greater or
lesser extent between populations, there is a health disparity. Populations
may be defined by race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age,
disability, socioeconomic status, or location.
ii. Health Equity – Achieving the conditions in which all people have the
opportunity to realize their health potential – the highest level of health
possible for that person- without limits imposed by structural inequities.
Data Collection
Goal: Improve the quality and availability of city-specific public health data in Edina to inform policy
development and monitor impacts.
1. Research and invest in collection methods for quality, city-specific health data to better inform
local decisions.
2. Study best practices, including around privacy protections, and work to design a comprehensive
public health survey that can be used consistently from year to year with flexibility to ask
detailed questions about emerging trends.
3. Work with public and private sector partners on joint data collection and data sharing initiatives,
particularly when providing community-specific results.

There are 15 grocery stores in Edina, including six supermarkets, six convenience/limited grocery stores,
and three small grocery stores. Three of these stores accept WIC and 12 accept SNAP/EBT. There are
no ethnic markets in the city. The City of Edina piloted a community garden in summer 2013, which
offers garden plots to city residents at a nominal fee, and an Edible Playground Garden that is open to
families of registered playground program participants.
Edina also has two farmers markets. The City-run market has 32 vendors including those selling locally
grown produce and an extensive variety of other locally produced foods product such as breads and
specialty bakery goods, candies, jams and other items. The Edina Farmers Market began accepting
SNAP/EBT at the beginning of its 2013 market season but does not accept WIC. In 2013, Fairview
Southdale Hospital opened the Farm to Fairview Farmers Market with four vendors who sell a variety of
locally grown produce. The Farm to Fairview market does not accept EBT or WIC. Edina has one
privately owned farm stand open seven days a week during the summer growing season. There are four
CSA farm drop sites in Edina, only one of which is located near low-income dense residential areas and
a bus line.
Given the substantially smaller number of low-income residents in Edina, there are fewer community
food service programs within city limits. There is one community dining site located in a housing
complex that serves senior residents. There are four meal delivery and four grocery delivery services.
There are two mobile food shelf drop sites located at apartment buildings within city limits, but these
services are limited to residents only. There are no Fare For All drop sites in Edina. Healthy, low-cost or
free food options in Edina are limited, which presents challenges for low-income and senior residents
with mobility issues and fixed incomes.

13. Heritage Preservation
Chapter Highlights
The Heritage Preservation Chapter of the Comprehensive
Plan discusses the City’s Heritage Preservation Commission
and its ongoing efforts to recognize, honor, appreciate, and
make accessible the City’s past. It is the mission of the
Commission to preserve the City’s historically significant
resources (sites, districts, buildings, and objects) and ensure
that they will be available for future generations to provide
a sense of identity and continuity in a rapidly-changing
world. It is the belief of the Commission that these things
reflect and shape values and aspirations and thereby
contribute to the City’s identity.
This chapter includes:
• Description of the process by which historic
resources gain Heritage Landmark designation
• Brief description of existing heritage resources and
their historical contexts
• Heritage resource goals and policies
Heritage preservation goals are summarized under six
program areas:
• Program Area 1 - Preservation Planning
• Program Area 2 - Identification of Heritage
Resources
• Program Area 3 - Evaluation of Heritage
Resources
• Program Area 4 - Designation of Heritage
Landmarks
• Program Area 5 - Design Review and Compliance
• Program Area 6 - Public Education and Outreach
Introduction
The Edina Heritage Preservation Commission (formerly the Heritage Preservation Board) is a seven-member
body appointed by the Mayor to advise the City Council, City Manager, other City boards and commissions, and
staff on all matters relating to the protection, management and enhancement of heritage resources.
The mission of the Heritage Preservation program is to preserve Edina’s heritage resources by protecting
historically significant buildings, sites, structures, objects and districts. The centerpiece of the city preservation
program is the Edina Heritage Landmarks Registry, which is essentially the local government equivalent of the
National Register of Historic Places. Properties are designated Heritage Landmarks or Heritage Landmark
Criteria guiding the Edina Heritage
Preservation Commission and City
Council in evaluating potential Heritage
Landmark designations:
• An association with important events
or patterns of events that reflect
significant broad trends in local history.
• An association with the lives of
historically significant persons or
groups.
• An embodiment of distinctive
characteristics an architectural style,
design, period, type of construction;
possess high artistic values, or
represents a significant and
distinguishable entity whose
components may lack individual
distinction
• Important archaeological data or the
potential to yield important
archaeological data.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Heritage Preservation Chapter Draft 09-30-19

Districts by the Edina City Council, upon nomination by the Heritage Preservation Commission. The Heritage
Landmark program is administered by the City’s Planning Department.
The purpose of this Comprehensive Plan chapter is to help decision-makers plan for the wise use of heritage
resources. The Heritage Preservation Chapter also helps improve city officials’ understanding and awareness of
the role heritage preservation plays in the delivery of important municipal services. Equally important is the
comprehensive nature of this chapter, which, in scope, is integrated with other city planning efforts and provides
an efficient and effective means of evaluating the performance of the heritage preservation program.
How Historic Resources Gain Heritage Landmark
Designation:
1. The terms historic property and heritage resource are
used interchangeably and refer to buildings, sites,
structures, objects and districts that are of historical,
architectural, archaeological, or cultural interest.
2. The Edina Heritage Landmark program focuses solely
on the preservation, protection and use of heritage
resources that meet established criteria for historical
significance and integrity.
3. In order for a property to qualify for registration as a
Heritage Landmark, it must meet at least one of the
preservation ordinance eligibility criteria by being
associated with an important historic context and by
retaining integrity of those physical features necessary
to convey its significance.
4. If the property appears to qualify for landmark
registration, the Heritage Preservation Commission
directs its staff to prepare a written nomination
report, which is submitted to the City Council.
5. Following a public hearing, the Council may formally
designate a landmark by resolution.
Historic Cahill School was built in 1864 and was located
near the intersection of 70th and Cahill. It served as the
center of Edina’s Irish community, providing a gathering
place for school, meetings, church services, and social
events. It was used by the congregation of St. Patrick’s
Catholic Church until 1958. It is on the National Register
of Historic Places.
Edina: A Community of Learning. Edina has a prized education system of high-quality public schools.
Edina’s education system is a major factor that has contributed to the City’s growth and success, and
extending education beyond the classroom will enhance livability and help create a stronger community.
Heritage Preservation, a potential vehicle for learning, can be incorporated in the City’s parks, in the
delivery of community health programs and services, in the development of transportation infrastructure,
and in artistic programs.

Trends and Challenges
Heritage Resources Inventory
Between 1972 and 2018, the Edina heritage preservation program carried out more than a dozen major studies
to survey historic properties. As used in preservation planning, survey refers to the process of identifying and
gathering information on a community’s heritage resources. It includes field survey (the physical search for and
recording of historic properties) as well as historical research in documentary sources. An inventory is one of
the basic products of a survey.
As a result of these activities, more than 600 historic properties within the Edina city limits have been
investigated as part of surveys sponsored by the Heritage Preservation Commission, and 11 properties have
been designated Edina Heritage Landmarks: These are listed in the Appendix to the Comprehensive Plan.
In addition, the Heritage Preservation Commission has determined that 79 properties are eligible for heritage
landmark registration. These, too, are listed in the Appendix.
The heritage resource identification and evaluation effort is ongoing, and as of 2018, it is estimated that
approximately 75 percent of the city remains un-surveyed for heritage resources.
Historic Contexts
Historic contexts are the cornerstone of the preservation
planning process. Historic contexts have been used since
ancient times to organize information about historical
events and to provide a rational framework for evaluating
their importance. In the field of heritage preservation,
historic contexts are planning constructs used to develop
goals and priorities for the identification, evaluation,
registration and treatment of historic resources. The City
of Edina has employed a contextual approach to
preservation planning since the 1970s. The initial
statement of local historic contexts has been continuously
refined, modified, added to, and elaborated on as new
information and interpretations have become available.
Edina’s historic contexts are organized in a two-tiered format. Tier 1
historic contexts represent broad, general themes in Edina history and
are organized around the concept of historic landscapes to denote a
holistic, or ecosystem approach focusing on changing patterns of land
use. Conceptually, each study unit represents a different historical
environment within the 12,000-year arc of Edina area history, from the
end of the last ice age to the present day. The Tier 1 contexts
emphasize linking general categories of heritage resources with
important broad patterns that describe major changes in the
relationships between people and their surroundings. The first-tier
historic contexts are city-wide in geographic scope:
• American Indian Cultural Traditions, 10,000 BCE to AD 1862
• Agriculture and Rural Life, 1851 to 1959
• Suburbanization, 1883 to the present
Southdale Center, Designed by Victor Gruen Associates,
opened in 1956 and is the oldest fully enclosed, climate-
controlled shopping mall in the United States.
Site of the historic Edina Mill, one of the first of
six gristmills to be built on Minnehaha Creek in
Hennepin County between 1855 and 1876.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Heritage Preservation Chapter Draft 09-30-19
13-4
Tier 2 historic contexts are more narrowly defined thematically, chronologically, and geographically. As their
names indicate, these study units represent aspects of Edina history that are reflected in the kinds of heritage
resources found at particular locations. In contrast with the Tier 1 study units, there is more emphasis on the
development of neighborhoods and the characteristics of specific types of heritage resources. The Tier 2
historic contexts are:
• Edina Mills, 1857 to 1932
• Morningside, 1905 to 1966
• Country Club District, 1922-1944
• Southdale, 1952 to 1975
• Country Clubs and Parks, 1909 to 50 years before the
present
• Minnehaha Creek, 10,000 BCA to 50 years before the
present
• Postwar Residential Neighborhoods, 1945 to 1975
• Midcentury Modern Architecture and Landscapes, 1934 to
1975
• Edina’s Recent Past, 1975 to the present
• Morningside Bungalows, 1905 to 1930
A number of new historic contexts are currently being developed
for the identification and evaluation of specific types of historic
resources, such as churches, Cold War fallout shelters, American
Foursquare style houses, and the Works Progress Administration
Goals and Policies
Guiding Principles
This section of the Heritage Preservation chapter discusses the
City’s heritage preservation goals, policies, and implementation
steps, which were developed after consideration of the following
guiding principles.
1. Heritage resources are scarce, non-renewable cultural
resources and should be treated as critical assets for
community development.
2. Heritage preservation is an important public service and a
legitimate responsibility of city government.
3. Not everything that is old is worth preserving: strategic planning for heritage preservation must focus on
historically significant heritage resources.
4. Saving significant historic properties for the benefit of future generations will always be in the public
interest.
Frank Tupa Park is located in northeast Edina
on Eden Avenue, directly across from Edina City
Hall. This one-acre park is the home of the Old
Cahill School, visited throughout the year by
students who want to experience a day of school
in the 1800s.
A Heritage Preservation Landmark overlay zoning
designation was assigned to the Country Club
District in 2003.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Heritage Preservation Chapter Draft 09-30-19
13-5
5. Effective heritage preservation policies are those which create partnerships between the owners of
heritage resources as city government.
6. Heritage preservation is about people, not things—significant historic resources should be preserved
and protected, and used in a manner consistent with community values.
Program Goals and Policies
The city heritage preservation program is organized into six program areas: 1) preservation planning, 2)
identification of heritage resources, 3) evaluation of heritage resources, 4) designation of heritage landmarks, 5)
design review and compliance, and 6) public education and outreach. The organizational format reflects the

Preservation Commission to conduct additional studies prior to initiating the landmark nomination
process.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Heritage Preservation Chapter Draft 09-30-19
13-7
Program Area 4: Designation of Heritage Landmarks
Goals:
1. Significant heritage resources will be designated Edina Heritage Landmarks or Landmark Districts.
Policies:
a) The Heritage Preservation Commission will nominate significant historic properties for designation as
Heritage Landmarks or Landmark Districts by the City Council.

for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
Program Area 5: Design Review and Compliance
Goals:
1. Protect Heritage Landmarks and Landmark Districts through design review and compliance with
heritage preservation standards.
2. Carry out public facilities maintenance and construction projects in such a manner that significant
heritage preservation resources are preserved and protected.
The Edina Theatre, itself, is an Art Deco style motion picture theater.
Built in 1934, the original design by Liebenberg and Kaplan featured
a brick-faced, ziggurat-stepped façade with a tower, metal canopy
and lighted sign.
In 2004, the Edina Heritage Award was presented to the owner of
the Edina Theatre in recognition of the careful reconstruction of the
historic sign. The attention to detail, referring to the original 1934
plans during reconstruction resulted in a sign that continues to
prominently identify downtown Edina.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
Heritage Preservation Chapter Draft 09-30-19
13-8
3. Encourage voluntary compliance with historic preservation treatment standards.
Policies:
a) The City will take all necessary steps to ensure that no significant heritage preservation resource is
destroyed or damaged as a result of any project for which a Certificate of Appropriateness has been
issued by the HPC.

citizen advisory boards and commissions to ensure that heritage resource management issues are taken
into account in planning for development projects.
d) Every application for a preliminary plat, rezoning, conditional use permit, or variance from the zoning
code that may affect an Edina Heritage Landmark or Landmark District will be reviewed by the Heritage
Preservation Commission, which will advise the Planning Commission whether or not the requested
action will have an adverse effect on a significant heritage preservation resource.
e) When demolition or site destruction cannot be avoided, careful consideration will be given to mitigating
the loss by moving the affected heritage resource to another location, recording it prior to demolition,
or by salvaging architectural elements or archaeological data for reuse or curation.
f) In cases involving permits that are not subject to design review, a reasonable effort will be made to
preserve and protect important historical, architectural, archaeological, and cultural features.
g) The Heritage Preservation Commission and its staff will work with the city manager, city engineer,
community development director, and others to ensure that heritage preservation resources are taken
into account in project planning.
h) The Heritage Preservation Commission and its staff will review voluntary requests for design review of
work that would not ordinarily be subject to regulation under the heritage preservation ordinance and
issue Certificates of Appropriateness for projects that meet preservation treatment standards.

14. Arts and Culture
Chapter Highlights
This chapter looks at: 1) arts, creative expression, and
culture in the City of Edina and 2) the Arts and Culture
Commission’s efforts to tie these to the community in
ways that will enrich residents and visitors and
contribute to a high quality of living. In this sense, arts
and culture are not to be viewed as isolated and
abstract things and events but, instead, elements that
are woven into the fabric of the community and linked
to as many aspects of the community and life as
possible. It is these linkages (some obvious, and
others not so obvious) that will contribute to a
community where arts and culture are always visible
and in the consciousnesses of observers.
This chapter discusses:
• Historical contexts and inventory of the City’s
arts and cultural events
• Direct benefits of arts and culture to a City’s
image and livability
• The future vision for arts and culture
• The City’s venues for artistic expression
• Trends and challenges
• Goals and objectives
Six goals developed for this chapter are summarized
below. Together, with policies developed for this
chapter, the six goals will serve to inform the
development of the Arts and Culture Commission’s
annual work plans for the next ten years.
Goal 1: Distribute and promote arts and culture
across all of Edina to provide opportunities for people
to come together in the creation and celebration of art
and culture, building inclusive communities.
Goal 2: Leverage the Edina Arts and Culture Commission (ACC) to form strong and enduring collaborative
partnerships between the ACC and other Edina commissions and associations to incorporate arts and culture
into planning and implementation processes.
Goal 3: Improve and maintain dedicated spaces and venues for arts and culture; activate each with dynamic
programming that includes a broad array of art forms and expressions accessible to all.
Goal 4: Expand and continue to drive awareness of and participation in Edina’s Public Art program and art
collection..
Vision and Challenges
Vision – Edina will be a community where:
• Everyday life is integrated with art,
culture, expression, and creativity.
• Community growth is coupled with arts
and culture.
• The number of people who appreciate,
engage with and create art is increased.
• Arts and culture are accessible and
inclusive of all members of the
community.
• High value is demonstrated on arts and
culture.
• As a “creative city,” arts and culture
positively impact livability, diversity,
inclusion, and economic development.
Challenges:
• Demographic changes within the
community.
• Capture opportunities to integrate life-
long learning and appreciation of the arts.
• Demand for arts and culture experiences
has currently out-paced the supply.
• Need for a new Edina Art Center to
accommodate the City’s growing demand
for artistic and cultural activities.
• Resistance to change.
• Funding availability.

Goal 5: Establish a formal role for artists and other creative thinkers to participate in forward-looking plans
for Edina.
Goal 6: Research, decide on, and implement the necessary funding and governance plans for supporting arts
and culture in Edina.
Introduction
The City of Edina is well-known for excellence in quality of life, education, and parks and recreational
facilities. In Edina and similar communities, there is a growing expectation that arts, culture, and creative
expression are equally important to a vibrant and strong community. As highly-valued aspects of everyday
life, arts and culture make substantial contributions to livability, the local economy, and cultural industry
competitiveness. Toward these ends, the Edina Comprehensive Plan 2018 includes - for the first time - a
stated commitment to arts and culture as part of the essential objectives for the City of Edina.
As Edina moves into the next ten years, facing myriad changes in demographics and shifts in economic
realities, the community can build cohesion and resilience based in part on the positive impact of arts and
culture
The highest-priority objectives for arts and culture are:
1. Incorporate arts and culture across all of Edina to provide opportunities for people to
come together, share experiences, and build an inclusive and cohesive community.
2. Improve and maintain dedicated spaces and venues for arts and culture; activate each with
dynamic programming that includes a broad array of art forms and expressions that are
accessible to all.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
14. Arts and Culture Chapter Draft 09-30-19
14-3
3. Incorporate arts and culture into Edina’s planning and implementation processes through
strong collaborative partnerships.
The City of Edina, during the life of this Comprehensive Plan, stands to benefit immensely from an
intentional and deliberate approach to weave arts and culture into the very fabric of the community;
and thus, engage as many people as possible and help the City reach its overall strategic goals.
Current Conditions: Historic Contexts and Inventory
The City of Edina’s vision statement (Vision Edina, 2015) describes the community as a “… preeminent
place for living, learning, raising families, and doing business.” It also speaks to a “livable environment” as a
distinguishing hallmark not only for our residents but also for those who work here and those who choose
Edina as an entertainment destination. https://www.edinamn.gov/DocumentCenter/View/1629/Strategic-
Vision-and-Framework-PDF?bidId=
During the past 10 years covered by the most-recent comprehensive plan (2008- 2018), the City of
Edina has moved well beyond its basic role of providing residential neighborhoods with high quality and
effective urban services. In fact, Edina has steered toward innovative growth enabling the development
of:
• Commercial areas that offer more dining options
• New entertainment venues and unique shopping zones
• Places to relax, exercise, and enjoy our best-in-class lifestyle, including excellent parks, trails and green
spaces
Moving into the next decade, Edina is poised to build on these accomplishments while at the same time
continuing to increase the quality of its livable environment. One of the most-impactful ways to do this is to
weave arts and culture into the fabric of the community.
Interestingly, it’s getting more difficult to define “arts and culture” as we move into the 21st Century. The
national strategy firm LaPlaca Cohen conducts an ongoing longitudinal study called Culture Track, which is
a national survey of people’s attitudes, motivators, and barriers to taking part in cultural experiences. Over
time, respondents have demonstrated a vastly expanded definition of culture, which now includes not only
traditional art forms, (e.g., opera, symphony concerts, ballet, and art museums) but also street fairs, food
trucks, culinary arts, and popular music festivals. Audiences now describe culture as any activity that “ …
questions what you already know; brings people who may not think they have much in common together;
and broadens horizons, understanding of life situations and helps me learn about other peoples in the
world.”
When discussing the value of arts and culture, at both a community-level and to wider society, people
typically begin with its intrinsic value: how arts and culture illuminate our inner lives and enrich our
emotional world. In addition, it is understood that arts and culture have a wider impact on our economy,
education, health and well- being, and community-building. In fact, arts and culture are valuable strategic
resources, and Edina has an opportunity to apply those resources in exciting and effective ways.

In the white paper titled “Creative Placemaking,” commissioned by The Mayors’ Institute on City Design,
co-authors Markuson and Gadwa report on the results of extensive research on placemaking that is led by
arts and culture. Their findings are outlined below:
• Cities and neighborhoods no longer compete for major infrastructure commitments nor aspire to
move up an urban hierarchy of look-alikes. Instead, they look beyond physical alterations and pay
more attention to the animation of places with cultural and economic activity.
• Significant arts and cultural investments revitalize local economies, create and provide jobs,
nurture local businesses, and stabilize neighborhoods.
• Arts-anchored revitalization encourages families and companies—even those without ties to the
arts—to commit to place and to participate actively in remaking where they live and work.
• Local arts offerings—public art, murals, art parades, art fairs and crawls, museums, performances,
and open studio nights—offer people an opportunity to enjoy and participate.
• Federal research shows arts and cultural participants are more likely to be civically engaged in
their communities than non-participants, even after controlling for other factors (2006, National
Endowment for the Arts).
• A culture-based initiative is best when it is appropriate to local circumstances, not simply a replica
of what other cities and towns are doing. The best projects nurture distinctive qualities and
resources that already exist in a community and can serve community members while also
drawing in visitors and new businesses.
The role of arts and culture in this broad context is to increase the value of living in, working in, and
exploring Edina, from the perspective of personal and communal experiences, as well as economic impact.
By taking an informed and strategic approach to incorporating arts and culture even more deeply into the
community, Edina has an opportunity to build upon its strengths and achieve its aspirational vision.

Arts and Culture in the Comprehensive Plan
There are two significant reasons for incorporating arts and culture into the City of Edina’s 2018
comprehensive plan: direct benefits to the community and positive economic impact.
Arts and Culture Offer Direct Benefits to a Community
Research has demonstrated many benefits to a community and its citizens when the arts and art centers
are present and readily accessible. Arts and culture can:
• Build community identity, pride, and status
• Activate a vibrant community, where people of all ages are connected to one another
• Increase the sense of welcoming, promote neighborhood cultural diversity, and create inclusive
communities
• Improve people’s sense of belonging to a community
• Bring people together who might not otherwise come into contact with each other, increasing
empathy and tolerance of others, and building social networks
• Increase livability, which attracts people (especially visitors and highly-skilled workers)
• Reduce stress, improve happiness, increase physical health
• Attract businesses and increase economic investment

Arts and Culture Drive Positive Economic Impact
Arts and culture have been shown to contribute to the economic vitality of a community. Studies have
shown the positive impact that a strong portfolio of arts-related activities and destinations has on other
businesses, including retail, hospitality and services. For example:
• In a 2015 study completed by the Washington, DC organization Americans for the Arts, data
demonstrated that the nonprofit arts and culture sector is “... a substantial industry in the State
of Minnesota generating $1.2 billion in total economic impact annually.”
• Creative MN has reported that the total economic impact of arts and culture on the City of
Minneapolis alone totals $541 million, a number which includes both direct expenditures by arts
organizations along with spending by audiences.
• When a community attracts cultural tourists, it harnesses significant economic rewards.
Researchers from Americans for the Arts estimate that 85.6 percent of the City of Minneapolis’ 7.8
million nonprofit arts attendees were residents of the Seven-County Twin Cities Metro Area, with 14.4
percent were non-residents. Non-resident attendees spend an average of 52 percent more per person
than local attendees ($39.16 vs. $25.82) as a result of their attendance to cultural events. As would be
expected from a traveler, higher spending was typically found in the categories of lodging, meals, and
transportation.
The data indicate that a vibrant arts community not only keeps residents and their discretionary
spending close to home, it also provides jobs and attracts visitors who spend money and help local
businesses thrive.

Vision for Arts and Culture in Edina
In taking the long view, the opportunity to deeply embed arts and culture into the Edina community
inspires a vision of the future, so that in ten years’ time:
Edina will be known as a community that embraces arts and culture, weaving it into all aspects of daily life.
• The experience of living in Edina will be integrated with art, culture, expression, and creativity.
• As it applies within the community, Edina will have expanded upon the meaning and impact of
arts and culture.
• Edina will have significantly increased the number of people who appreciate, engage with, and
create arts and culture.
• Arts and culture in Edina will be accessible accessible and inclusive of all members of the
community, playing an important role in building bridges to create stronger, more
collaborative, and diverse communities.
• Edina will demonstrate that it places a high value on arts and culture through prioritization and
provision of sustainable funding streams.
• Edina will be seen as a “creative city,” where arts and culture positively impact livability,
diversity, inclusion, and economic development. In addition, arts and culture will contribute to
increased safety, aesthetics, expressiveness, and environmental stewardship, all to the benefit
of the people who live, work, and visit.
Edina has a strong history of arts and cultural activities that represent a wide array of experiences,
including:
• Edina Art Center
• Public Art Edina
• The annual Edina Art Fair
• The John Philip Sousa Memorial Band concerts
Edina Comprehensive Plan
14. Arts and Culture Chapter Draft 09-30-19
14-8
• The annual Edina Fall into the Arts Festival
• The Edina Historic Museum in Arneson Acres Park
• Edina Reads program
• Edina High School plays and concerts (such as the annual Pops concert)
• Morningside After Dark poetry and music events
• The Edina Theater
• Centennial Lakes Park summer concerts
• Edina Student Art Show at the Edina Library
• The Edina High School Teen Art Salon at the Edina Art Center
• Edina’s collection of award-winning artworks
Other arts and cultural activities in Edina contribute more subtly, such as: requirements for design
elements in new buildings, the historic preservation of the Edina Country Club District, and city-wide
signage. Our parks, trails and green spaces also contribute to the beauty and artistic impact the City offers.
As a community, we recognize the need to create visual appeal throughout our City’s tangible assets and
enliven our public spaces with performances, art installations, and participatory activities for all ages and
abilities.
Dedicated Venues and Spaces
The City of Edina is fortunate to have several venues that currently offer opportunities to experience and
participate in arts and culture activities, including: The Edina Promenade, Centennial Lakes Park, Edina Art
Center, Braemar Park, and the 50th and France Business District. Moving forward, Edina will benefit from
further development and activation at each of these venues as designated and recognized centers of art and
culture activities. Edina can also explore the potential of identifying and creating additional venues for arts
and culture, particularly alongside real estate development initiatives. In this way, Edina can increase the
visibility and participation rate in arts and culture activities by utilizing and re-purposing the significant amount
of public and park space already at our disposal.
The Edina Art Center
Perhaps most-recognizable among the venues dedicated to arts and culture in our community is the Edina
Art Center (EAC). The EAC opened in 1976 with classrooms, studios and two small display galleries. The
Edina Comprehensive Plan
14. Arts and Culture Chapter Draft 09-30-19
14-9
EAC is open 52 weeks per year. It currently serves 2,800 people annually with over 230 different class
offerings, more than a dozen exhibitions, and nearly 100 different summer camps for children. In addition,
27 events are programmed by the EAC that are held outside the facility draw an estimated 33,000
additional participants per year.
The EAC is one of six enterprise facilities owned and operated by the City of Edina within the Parks and
Recreation Department, along with the Braemar Golf Course and Dome, Edinborough Park and Aquatic
Center, Braemar Ice Arena, Centennial Lakes Park, and the Senior Center. The EAC is considered to be
an ‘arts affiliate’, owned by the City of Edina - a municipality that operates under the Plan B form of
government. As such, the EAC has benefitted from years of stable financial support and has not had to
carry the overhead costs and intensive work effort of independent fund-raising activities. At present, the
EAC is not proposing any changes to this arrangement (i.e., no shift to another governance model, such as
a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization) without first conducting extensive research and planning.
For the last 40+ years, the Edina Art Center has served people of all ages and abilities with exhibitions and
classes in the fine arts, including pottery and clay sculpture, watercolor, drawing, painting, jewelry,
photography, printmaking, and classes for youth. The EAC has an outstanding reputation for arts-making
experiences, with the pottery and ceramics classes considered especially top-notch and popular. Available
classes and camps are typically sold out rapidly, often with a waiting list of eager prospective participants.

Edina Comprehensive Plan
14. Arts and Culture Chapter Draft 09-30-19
14-10
Three separate, independent studies conducted within the past six years all concluded that an improved
EAC is vital to the City of Edina:
• 2012 Sutton Report found that the Edina Art Center was a cherished community asset but had
challenges to remain competitive in the market, including building design and size, ADA
compliance issues, circulation, and location. Two outcomes of the Sutton Report were the
formation of the Arts and Culture Commission and the hiring of a full-time Edina Art Center
director.
• 2014 Schuler Shook analysis of physical space found that the Edina Art Center lacked sufficient size
to meet its needs or allow for growth.
• 2016 Grandview Task Force proposed to build a community center on the 3.3 acre Grandview
site. That project featured a new and larger art center, along with a senior center, recreation
spaces and underground parking. While the final proposed cost was significant, the proposal
clearly indicated the viability and potential of a new art center.
The current Edina Art Center is facing several challenges, all related to the limitations of the existing facility.
1. The EAC sits within a building that was originally designed as a residential dwelling. Through
the years, the EAC has been modified to the extent possible in order to provide the space and
facilities required for a functioning art center. Additional modifications are neither prudent
financially nor feasible structurally.
2. The size of the facility is small and inflexible. As a result, the class and studio offerings are
neither able to meet current demand nor adapt to future growth.
3. The facility is not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Individuals with physical
disabilities, whether temporary or permanent, cannot fully navigate the space.
4. The location is secluded, not on or near public transit routes, and can be difficult to find. The
surrounding area has very little foot traffic, and no nearby businesses or amenities.
5. Supply of available classes and camps - limited by the constraints listed above - is unable to
meet demand, which decreases potential earned revenue.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
14. Arts and Culture Chapter Draft 09-30-19
14-11
More than 2,800 participants use the EAC facilities each year; approximately 65 percent of whom reside
outside of Edina. By developing a new EAC, there is an opportunity to grow the number and percentage of
Edina residents taking part. With just under 1,000 Edina residents actively using the EAC each year, it
currently attracts less than 2 percent of the community. Increasing that percentage is an achievable goal for
a new, improved, and more accessible EAC with a greater number of offerings.
Art and Artists in Edina
The City of Edina owns a collection of original
works of art, referred to as the Public Art
Edina Permanent Collection. The collection
originated in the early 1990s as part of the
activities of the Edina Public Art Committee
(now called Public Art Edina). With assistance
from the Edina Community Foundation and
oversight provided by the Edina Arts and
Culture Commission, works of art are
submitted for review and approval by the
Edina City Council for acceptance in the
Collection.
The Public Art Edina Permanent Collection includes a variety of objects, including: stained glass (2 story
window at Edina City Hall), sculpture (glass, steel, bronze, rock, marble and limestone, Black Belgian
marble, ceramic), photographs, watercolors, pastels, mixed media, and oil paintings. The Collection is
displayed throughout Edina: City Hall, Edina Senior Center, Edina Art Center, Hennepin County Library
Edina Branch, Edina Promenade, Centennial Lakes Park, 50th & France Business District, Grandview
Square Park, and Southview Middle School gymnasium.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
14. Arts and Culture Chapter Draft 09-30-19
14-12
There are currently 40 works of art in the Public Art Edina Permanent Collection. The Collection is
documented at the Edina Art Center (in a binder of information about each work of art in the collection)
and information shared with the public on the Edina Art Center portion of the City of Edina website.
Future use of this valuable collection will provide for greater exposure and appreciation across Edina.
Adding works of art to areas of high traffic in commercial zones can enhance the feel and ambience of
these locations.
The City of Edina is rich with artistic talent and home to many strong supporters of arts and culture.
There are a number of practicing visual artists, musicians, actors and directors, and writers, several of
whom have been nationally recognized and award- winning, who reside in Edina. Deeper relationships
between these artists and the community can be developed with a program of frequent and welcoming
events that connect these individuals with Edina residents.
Edina benefits when arts and culture are incorporated into daily life. As part of demonstrating shared
values across the community, the City of Edina - in collaboration with artists and other creative thinkers -
can develop a set of recommendations as part of the planning process that include spaces and
opportunities to display works of art, venues for performances, and other dedicated community spaces
where residents and visitors can share experiences of arts and culture that enhance Edina’s quality of life.

Arts and Culture Commission
The Edina Arts and Culture Commission was established in May 2013 to help build a vibrant community
through art and culture, as the Edina City Council finds that the encouragement and enhancement of the
arts in Edina is vital to the social and cultural well-being of the City and its residents. The Edina Arts and
Culture Commission is, by City Ordinance, a formalized independent advisory board of the Edina City
Council.
Along with the Edina Art Center staff, this working Commission guides and supports general
development of artistic initiatives in the City of Edina, including the Edina Art Center. The Commission
provides recommendations to the City Council concerning collaboration, communication, facilities,
activities and programs in arts and cultural activities.
The Edina Arts and Culture Commission works in close collaboration with the City of Edina Government
and all other City Commissions to incorporate the perspective and advantages of arts and culture across
Edina, using the conceptual framework of “How can we help?”
a. Help make Edina an outstanding community in every respect.
b. Help sustain excellent quality of life.
c. Help drive economic impact.
d. Help the community adapt to changes over time.
e. Help teach tolerance and empathy through cultural exchange and exposure.
f. Help other Edina Commissions complete their assigned tasks, from the perspectives of creative
placemaking and community-building.
g. Help ensure that any culture-based efforts in Edina are matched to the community’s distinctive
qualities and resources.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
14. Arts and Culture Chapter Draft 09-30-19
14-14
Summary of Current Conditions
Edina has an opportunity to build on its history of dedicating venues and sponsoring highly-regarded
annual activities that provide arts and cultural experiences to thousands of people. Research has
demonstrated that these resources and activities provide direct benefits to a community and offer lasting,
positive economic impact. A community with vibrant arts and culture keeps residents and their
discretionary spending close to home and also provides jobs and attracts visitors who spend money and
help local businesses thrive. In addition, the City of Edina is rich with artistic talent and home to many
strong supporters of the arts. By taking a coordinated, strategic approach to arts and culture over the
next ten years, Edina will continue to utilize existing resources and also develop additional, improved
venues and initiatives that will serve to embed arts and culture even more deeply into the community.
This will increase the value of living in, working in, and visiting Edina.
Edina: A Community of Learning. Edina has a prized education system of high-quality
public schools. The Arts and Culture chapter of the Comprehensive Plan recognizes the importance of
extending the benefits of education to the entire community, recognizing that art and culture can be
vehicles for expanding awareness, increasing exposure, and instilling values.
Collaborating with Edina public schools and Edina’s various municipal departments, the Arts and
Culture Commission could: involve students and their parents in programs to:
• Create and install visual art in parks, along City streets (consistent with the Living Streets
Policy), and in commercial nodes.
• Develop directional signage for installation along recreational trails
• Recognize and honor the contributions of individuals who founded and built the City.

Trends and Challenges
Arts and culture occur within the context of time and place. That context includes a number of relevant
trends and challenges that Edina will be facing in the coming years. Each can point the way toward
opportunities for the arts to contribute meaningfully and productively to the community.
Trends
There are numbers of current and near-horizon trends that will have an impact on the way arts and
culture are incorporated into daily life in Edina. Chief among these are:
1. Demographic changes:
• Trends for Minnesota and Edina point to increased diversity and population density.
• As population diversity increases, Edina will face issues of inclusion, equity, and accessibility
around characteristics such as race, socioeconomic class, culture, and creed.
• Aging, especially aging in place, is a demographic trend that will particularly affect Edina.
Ensuring accessibility for all is key.
• Opportunities: Plan arts and culture initiatives that are inclusive of all ages, abilities and
backgrounds. See Goals 1, 3, and 5 below.
2. Interest in lifelong learning continues to grow, with people seeking experiences that inform
and inspire:
• Opportunities: Increase offerings for Edina residents to participate in classes and other
events that combine arts and culture with learning and education for all ages and
abilities. See Goals 1 and 3 below.
3. The definition of “culture” is evolving rapidly and now includes a range of experiences
and activities that involve events at which people gather and interact, in what has been
termed a “meeting of like-minded strangers”.
• Art as activism is increasingly apparent, with artists responding to current events
and community changes.
• Opportunities: Leverage arts and culture initiatives to bring Edina citizens together
as a community. See Goals 1, 2, 3 and 4 below.
4. Technology and social media continue to change rapidly; we can know more and find it
fast, but we can also become isolated and be susceptible to phenomena like fake news or
scams.
• There is also a push back against technology, which recognizes the value of face-to-
face contact (examples include local meet up groups or the maker culture).
• Opportunities: Utilize technology to inform and invite participation in arts and culture
activities. See Goal 1 below.
• It is important to take note of trends that may be specific to the Edina community
5. Shifting demographics and politics - Edina is becoming more heterogeneous, with more points
of view which can differ significantly on some pertinent issues.
6. Commercial development and changes are taking place and/or are planned for areas such as
Southdale, 50th and France, Grandview, and Pentagon Park.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
14. Arts and Culture Chapter Draft 09-30-19
14-16
7. Opportunities: Use arts and culture activities and perspectives to support a resilient and
cohesive community in Edina. See Goals 1 through 5 below.
Challenges
A number of current and near-horizon challenges will have an impact on the way that arts and culture are
incorporated into daily life in Edina. Chief among these include:
1. The demand for arts and culture experiences is currently out-paced the supply.
• There is an established need for a new Edina Art Center. There is a strong opportunity
to increase both the overall customer base and the percentage of Edina residents taking
part in the offerings of the Edina Art Center.
• Opportunities: Provide additional arts and culture experiences for citizens and visitors
of Edina. See Goals 3 and 6 below.
2. There will be a number of changes to the city, including real estate development
• There can be tension between property development and maintaining historic
continuity. This will have an impact on potential location of a new art center
• Resistance to change is common in most communities, including Edina. That requires a
thoughtful, creative, and community-engaged planning process. As population density
increases, there is a need for an intentional approach to design that allows for necessary
change, but respects history and local neighborhood identity.
• Development plans for the Southdale area are likely to lead to numerous changes to
that part of Edina.
• There are risks in the local retail sector: reduction in bricks-and- mortar retail stores,
likely increases in experiential customer focus, more restaurants and entertainment
venues.
• Opportunities: Incorporate arts and culture perspectives to engage the community, add
creativity, and augment decision-making. See Goals 2, 5, and 6 below.
3. Funding and organizational structures for arts and culture can be improved
• Funding for arts and culture remains a challenge. It is important for arts and culture
efforts in Edina to take a strategic and planned approach to fund-raising and sustainable
funding models. There are opportunities in Minnesota, such as the Legacy Amendment
Funding1, that might be tapped.
• Opportunities: Establish sustained funding models for arts and culture in Edina. See Goal 6
below.
4. Transportation undergoing a number of significant changes
• The next ten years is likely to see an increase in hybrid and electric cars, light rail lines and
services, and the implementation of assisted and/or autonomous vehicles.
1 In 2008, Minnesota passed the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to the State Constitution. This
Amendment increased state sales tax by three-eighths of one percent, from July 1, 2009 through 2034. A portion of
the revenue (19.75%) is dedicated to The Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund which is used to support arts, arts
education and arts access, and to preserve Minnesota's history and cultural heritage.
Based on current sales tax revenue, Minnesotans will invest more than $1.2 billion in arts and cultural heritage fund
projects and programs over the 25-year life span of the tax.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
14. Arts and Culture Chapter Draft 09-30-19
14-17
• Edina is also anticipating an increase in walking and bicycling.
• Opportunities: Incorporate a creative placemaking perspective to enable Edina to embrace
change over time. See Goals 2, 4 and 5 below.
Summary of Trends and Challenges
Edina is changing, along with the rest of the region and the country. As demographics shift and the
community evolves, Edina is becoming more heterogeneous, and the investment in efforts that are inclusive
and accessible will provide value. While change can be hard for any community, this can be eased when
leaders are aware of the trends and challenges, so that they can anticipate and plan for the impact they will
have on the city. Arts and culture initiatives can help enable Edina to take advantage of opportunities and
therefore support the city’s overall strategic goals. Those opportunities are reflecting in the Goals and
Policies listed below.
Goals and Policies
As Edina looks forward into the next ten years, there are six major goals for arts and culture that
consider the Trends and Challenges listed above along with the unique needs and resources of Edina.
The City of Edina, through its Arts and Culture Commission, prepares annual work plans that define how
goals will be implemented. The first step in this process is the development of policies that will lead to a list
of tactics or implementation steps. The tactics for arts and culture (presented below) are paired with the
goals and policy statements.
Recognizing that ten years is a long timeframe, the following tactics are listed with an understanding that
they may shift and evolve over time and in response to changing conditions or unforeseen
circumstances.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
14. Arts and Culture Chapter Draft 09-30-19
14-18
Goal 1: Distribute and promote arts and culture across all of Edina to provide opportunities for
people to come together in the creation and celebration of art and culture, building inclusive
communities.
Policy 1: The City will continue to support and promote arts and culture activities and programs
across Edina.
Goal 2: Leverage the Edina Arts and Culture Commission (ACC) to form strong and enduring
collaborative partnerships between the ACC and other Edina commissions and associations to
incorporate arts and culture into planning and implementation processes.
Policy: The City will incorporate arts and culture into planning and implementation processes by
supporting collaborative partnerships between the ACC and other Edina commissions and associations.
Goal 3: Improve and maintain dedicated spaces and venues for arts and culture; activate each with
dynamic programming that includes a broad array of art forms and expressions accessible to all.
Policy: The City will continue to support dedicated venues for arts and culture, and actively support the
construction of a new Edina Art Center.
Goal 4: Expand and continue to drive awareness of and participation in Edina’s Public Art
program and art collection.
Policy: The City will continue to support the Edina Public Art program and art collection,
including ongoing financial support.
Goal 5: Establish a formal role for artists and other creative thinkers to participate
in forward-looking plans for Edina.
Policy: The City will actively seek and include the perspective of arts and culture to contribute to
decision-making and policy-setting in Edina.
Goal 6: Research, decide on, and implement the necessary funding and governance
plans for supporting arts and culture in Edina.
Policy: The City will work closely with the ACC to plan for sustainable financial support of arts
and culture across Edina.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
14. Arts and Culture Chapter Draft 09-30-19
14-19
Taken together, these goals and policies will serve to inform the development of the Arts and Culture
Commission’s annual work plans for the next ten years and will enrich community life in Edina, drawing
participation from residents and non-residents alike. The result of this is to reinforce the positive image
of Edina as a preeminent place to live, work, and visit.
The inclusion of a chapter dedicated to arts and culture as part of the 2018 City of Edina Comprehensive
Plan is a powerful statement that recognizes the importance of arts, culture, and creative expression - which
are as valuable to a vibrant and strong community as are quality of life, education, parks and recreational
facilities. By incorporating strategies and objectives for arts and culture that are thoughtfully woven into the
fabric of Edina, the plan increases the benefits to residents and visitors, and works in support of achieving
the inspirational vision for the city as a “… preeminent place for living, learning, raising families and doing
business”.

15. Implementation
Chapter Highlights
• This chapter provides some initial action steps for
implementing the comprehensive plan, with a focus
on the ten years prior to the next scheduled
comprehensive plan update.
• The chapter describes some of the commonly
used tools and strategies that the City of Edina will
deploy to achieve the goals and policies outlined in
this plan.
• The chapter also includes implementation steps
from the topical chapters of the plan, with
additional details added as to proposed timeline
for implementation and the major entities that will
be responsible for implementation.
• As required, the chapter takes a closer look at
zoning and land use regulation, since those are
directly impacted by changes to land use guidance,
and there are statutory requirements to ensure
consistency between comprehensive plans and city
zoning guidance.
Introduction
Plans are judged not only by the quality of their content but by the extent to which they are
implemented as intended. The City of Edina undertook this plan update with the intention that it would
provide a community vision of the future and be used by city staff and officials on a regular basis to guide
decisions. The intent of this chapter is to show how goals and policies can be translated into action,
guiding the ongoing work undertaken by the City and its partners.
Another planning axiom is that a community plan is most worthwhile if it influences how a city writes its
regulations or spends its money. Leadership and encouragement, while critical, are not sufficient alone
to effect changes. To that end, this chapter makes a connection between policies and the City’s
budgetary process, including the Capital Improvement Plan. While the comprehensive plan does not
program specific yearly expenditures, it should be influential as to how those decisions are being made.
Implementation Responsibility
As this is the City of Edina’s comprehensive plan, the primary responsibility lies with the City
itself to ensure the plan is implemented. However, the plan includes a vision beyond the scope of
basic public services. To fully accomplish what the comprehensive plan envisions, partners are
needed to work with the City on implementation. While this plan does not directly guide their
actions, the intent it to show how ongoing work through a variety of partners can be coordinated
together to increase overall impact and effectiveness in achieving shared goals.

15. Implementation Chapter Draft 09-30-19
15-2
Advisory Boards and Commissions
City leadership and staff will implement the plan on an ongoing basis through decision-making,
including city budgeting and provision of programs and services. One of the main ways the City of
Edina implements the plan is through its system of advisory boards and commissions. The active
volunteer members of these groups reflect the deep commitment of many Edina residents to
support their city and maintain the community’s high quality of life. At this time, the list includes:
• Arts and Culture Commission
• Board of Appeal and Equalization
• Community Health Commission
• Construction Board of Appeals
• Energy and Environment Commission
• Heritage Preservation Commission
• Housing and Redevelopment Authority
• Human Rights and Relations Commission
• Parks and Recreation Commission
• Planning Commission
• Race and Equity Task Force
• Transportation Commission
Many of these boards and commissions were involved in the development of this plan, to ensure
that it was consistent with their own mission and goals to the extent applicable for a
comprehensive plan. While the primary decision-making authority for the City of Edina remains
with the City Council, these bodies of appointed members provide oversight, input, and guidance
related to focus areas for the community. They are supported by Edina staff liaisons who provide
direction for and assistance with meetings, activities, and initiatives. During the planning process
for the comprehensive plan, the advisory boards and commissions guided the development of
applicable draft chapters. During the plan implementation, their role will shift to providing
oversight and input in the city’s work plan.
Other Agencies
Many other organizations and agencies are an important part of the implementation of the
comprehensive plan. This is particularly true for areas that are important to the City of Edina, but
the City itself is not the main implementing agency. Examples of these include Hennepin County,
the Edina School District, Hennepin County Library, Nine Mile Creek Watershed District,
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, adjacent cities, and various neighborhood and community
groups in Edina. The City will continue to coordinate as appropriate with these organizations on
areas of shared interest and responsibility.
Implementation Tools
The City has numerous tools at its disposal to shape development patterns, protect natural and
built infrastructure, and protect the quality of life for residents. Implementation strategies can be
separated into several distinct ‘tool’ categories. Each tool has distinct characteristics that make it
suitable for specific goals and circumstances. The tools available to the City comprise the City’s
implementation portfolio. These tools include:
Edina Comprehensive Plan
15. Implementation Chapter Draft 09-30-19
15-3
Education and Promotion – Formal programs or informal efforts undertaken by the City or in
conjunction with the City to encourage voluntary actions by individuals or businesses that help
fulfill the City’s desired future as described in the Comprehensive Plan.
Incentives and Incentive Regulation – Inducements offered by the City alone or in
partnership with others to elicit actions by individuals or businesses that move the City toward
its desired future. The inducements or incentives can include:
• Direct financial assistance such as cost sharing
• Indirect financial assistance such as assistance in applying for grants, or with infrastructure
improvements
• Regulatory incentives such as flexible regulations and guidelines
• Professional assistance incentives such as technical assistance in façade or infrastructure
design, integration of historic elements, or meeting state or federal regulatory standards
City Ordinances and Other Regulation – City ordinances, including zoning, subdivision,
environmental, and other standards, as well as the administrative approvals process. Regulation
includes:
• Threshold standards such as minimum or maximum lot sizes and height requirements
• Performance standards that regulate development impacts such as traffic or sewer capacity
• Administrative standards such as information or analyses required for a development
• Application and the order and timing of approvals by regulating authorities
Managing Public Processes and Resources – Public investments and management decisions
for infrastructure, public services, public lands, and public processes. Such investment or
decisions can include:
• Programming of public improvements through the Capital Improvement Plan (see Appendix
for the City’s current CIP)
• Water, wastewater, and transportation investments made by the City or ultimately managed
by the City
• Land acquisition, sale, or exchange for the purpose of preservation or development
• Management decisions and expenditures for public resources such as streets, parks, and
deployment of public services
• Conducting studies and making decisions on enhancing or modifying the Comprehensive Plan
or supporting documents
Rarely will a single tool or category of tools be sufficient to achieve Comprehensive Plan goals.
Most policies, and most of the preferred mix of land uses shown on the future land use map,
require the use of several tools from different categories in order to be realized and sustained.
The City must take a ‘portfolio’ approach in its implementation choices, recognizing that each
category of tools has unique strengths and weaknesses.

Key Official Controls
This section focuses on the key implementation ordinances and regulations that are the official
controls that the City will use to implement the City’s Comprehensive Plan Update.
Zoning Ordinance
Zoning is the primary means of land use control. Minnesota State Statues (MS § 462.357) provides
the authority for municipalities to enact zoning ordinances.
Section 850 of the Edina City Code (see Chapter 8 – Land Use, Plats, and Zoning) contains the
Zoning Ordinance. The Findings, Purpose and Objectives of that Section (850.01) state:
The Council finds that Edina has emerged from an era exemplified by unparalleled growth and
development and has entered a period of stability, reuse, and redevelopment; that some of the
standards and regulations which guided initial development of the City are not appropriate for
guiding future development and redevelopment ; and that standards and regulations for guiding
future development and redevelopment should be based upon the stated goals, objectives, and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan of this City, as from time to time amended, which constitutes
the City’s statement of philosophy concerning the use of land within its jurisdiction. Through
enactment of this Section, the Council intends to implement this statement of philosophy so as to
provide for the orderly and planned development and redevelopment of lands and waters in
Edina, to maintain an attractive living and working environment in Edina, to preserve and
enhance the high quality residential character of Edina and to promote the public health, safety
and general welfare.
Among the objectives cited are:
Maintain, protect and enhance single family detached dwelling neighborhoods as the dominant land use.
Encourage orderly development of multi-family housing that offers a wide range of housing choice, density
and location while maintaining the overall high quality of residential development.
Encourage orderly development, use and maintenance of office, commercial and industrial uses which are
compatible with the residential character of the City.
This Section divides the City into districts and establishes minimum requirements for these
districts as to the location, height, parking, landscaping, bulk, mass, building coverage, density
and setbacks of buildings and structures and the use of buildings, structures, and properties for
residences, retailing, offices, industry, recreation, institutions and other uses. This Section also
provides procedures for the transfer of property to another district, procedures for the issuance
of conditional use permits, establishes the Zoning Board of Appeals, provides for the
administration of this Section, and establishes penalties and remedies for violations. This Section
also establishes overlay districts designed to preserve buildings, lands, areas and districts of
historic or architectural significance and to protect surface and ground water supplies and
minimize the possibility of periodic flooding resulting in the loss of life and property, health and
safety hazards and related adverse effects.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
15. Implementation Chapter Draft 09-30-19
15-6
Minnesota State Law also requires consistency between a community’s zoning ordinance and its
Comprehensive Plan. The City’s Zoning Ordinance will be reviewed to ensure consistency with
the 2018 Comprehensive Plan Update.
The City of Edina’s current zoning districts currently include:
• Single Dwelling Unit District (R-1). The Principal use permitted in R-1 are buildings
containing not more than one dwelling unit.
• Double Dwelling Unit District (R-2). The Principal use permitted in R-2 are buildings
containing two dwelling units.
• Planned Residence District (PRD and PSR). The principal uses vary between single
dwelling unit buildings, double dwelling unit buildings and residential townhouses or
residential buildings containing six or fewer dwelling units. PRD-5. Rest homes,
convalescent homes and nursing homes. PSR-3 and PSR-4. Buildings containing four or
more dwelling units, all but one of which are senior citizen dwelling units.
• Mixed Development District (MDD). The principal uses permitted in the MDD include
buildings containing not fewer than ten dwelling units or senior citizen dwelling units with
publicly owned park and recreational facilities, publicly owned or operated civic or
cultural institutions, offices, suites hotels and commercial in some districts.
• Planned Office District (POD). Uses permitted in the POD include business and
professional offices.
• Planned Commercial District (PCD). Principal uses in the PCD include commercial retail,
business and professional offices, restaurants, medical uses, hotels among other
commercial uses.
• Planned Industrial District (PID). Uses permitted in the PID include manufacturing,
compounding, processing, packaging, treatment and assembly of products and materials
and warehousing.
• Regional Medical District (RMD). Uses permitted in the RMD include hospitals, medical
and dental offices, clinics, laboratories for research, diagnostic testing, analytical or clinical
work, having a direct relationship to the providing of health services.
• Automobile Parking District (APD). Permitted uses in the Automobile Parking District
(APD) include Parking lots and drive-through banking facilities.
• Heritage Preservation Overlay District (HPD).
• Floodplain Overlay District (FD).
• Building Height Overlay District (HOD).
• Planned Unit Development District (PUD). PUD are determined by an approved plan.
These will be revisited and modified as part of the comprehensive plan implementation, as
described in the following implementation table.
Historic Preservation Ordinance
Minnesota State Statutes (MS § 471.193) sets forth the enabling legislation that provides for
municipalities to engage in a comprehensive program of historic preservation, and to promote
the use and conservation of historic properties for the education, inspiration, pleasure, and
enrichment of the citizens of Minnesota. This Statute also provides for a municipality to establish
a Heritage Preservation Commission and to delegate or assign powers to enable it to carry out a
program of historic preservation activities.
Edina Comprehensive Plan
15. Implementation Chapter Draft 09-30-19
15-7
Section 801 of the Edina City Code (see Chapter 8 – Land Use, Plats, and Zoning) contains the
Historic Preservation Ordinance which establishes the Heritage Preservation Board and includes
its duties and responsibilities.
Subdivision Ordinance
Minnesota State Statutes (MS § 462.358) sets forth the enabling legislation that provides
municipalities the authority to enact subdivision regulations and dedication requirements
associated with subdividing land.
Section 810 of the Edina City Code (see Chapter 8 – Land Use, Plats, and Zoning) contains the
“Subdivision Ordinance: Plats and Subdivisions.” This Section establishes physical standards, design
requirements and procedures for plats and subdivisions of land to allow flexibility in the design of
plats and subdivisions, to develop a consistency with and to help implement the zoning, building,
and other applicable sections and provisions of the City Code, and to support and further the
City’s Comprehensive Plan. This nexus between the Subdivision Ordinance and Zoning
Ordinance is intended to provide for the establishment of uniform procedures and regulations for
plats and subdivisions to preserve and enhance the value and viable economic use of property, to
protect the character and symmetry of neighborhoods in the City, and to protect and further,
and not frustrate, legitimate investment-backed expectations of property owners.
The City will review, and update, the Subdivision Ordinance following Zoning Ordinance updates
that will be needed to implement the Comprehensive Plan.
Housing Plan
The City will implement its Housing Plan through the goals, policies and action steps identified in
Chapter 4: Housing. The City will continue to implement the adopted Livable Communities Act
(LCA) Goals Agreement related to affordable housing, as further described in that chapter.
Transportation Plan
The implementation of the Transportation Plan will occur through many different avenues ranging
from policy decisions to specific roadway improvements to multimodal enhancements such as
bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Chapter 5: Transportation describes implementation strategies
for the transportation element. The Capital Improvement Plan is an important tool for
implementing this plan.
Utilities and Infrastructure
The most commonly used tools for utilities and infrastructure are described in Minnesota State
Statutes (MS § 429), which confers the authority to cities to charge special assessments and user
charges, as well as establish utilities, to pay for utilities and infrastructure. Chapter 7 Water
Resources and its appendices provide additional information on the implementation plan for
maintaining, upgrading, and expanding the city’s utility systems, including sanitary sewer, drinking
water, and stormwater. The Capital Improvement Plan is an important tool for implementing
utility and infrastructure improvements.

Plan Amendment Process
The comprehensive plan is intended to apply to a wide range of circumstances, providing a
balance between structure and flexibility. It is the intent of the City that the need to
amend the plan should be primarily for major events, rather than routine actions.
However, from time to time amendments to the plan will be needed to address changing
conditions, emerging opportunities, and other factors. The City of Edina should periodically
review of the plan to see if amendments are needed to address changing conditions or shifting
priorities. Additionally, plan amendments may be requested in response to a specific proposal or
project, such as new development project.
When considering amendments to this plan, the City of Edina will follow procedures described in
city ordinances. Depending on the circumstances, landowners, developers, organizations,
individuals, the City Council, and Planning Commission may initiate amendments to the
comprehensive plan. After an amendment is proposed, the Planning Commission will direct staff
to prepare a thorough analysis of the proposed amendment. Staff will present to the Planning
Commission a report analyzing the proposed changes, including their findings and
recommendations regarding the proposed plan amendment. The Planning Commission will
determine whether to proceed with the proposed amendment. If a decision to proceed is made,
a formal public hearing will be held, followed by action by the Planning Commission and City
Council. If approved by the City Council, the amendment will be submitted for review to the
Metropolitan Council, following established procedure and notification requirements.
Responses to comments submitted to the Planning Commission on November 13 and in City Council Correspondence on November 19 by Roberta Castellano. The comments submitted relate to materials presented In April and May. The changes recommended are to the current draft of the 2018 Comprehensive Plan: Comment Submitted Response Action Taken 1) falsely reported the Current Housing Unit Density range for Medium Density Residential. The graphic referred to (Table 3.5) did not show the correct density in the Medium Density Residential category. The range shown was 5-20 units per acres for both the 2008 Comprehensive Plan and the draft 2018 Plan. The Planning Commission did not intend to increase density in these areas. The Plan will be corrected to show the density range as 5-12 units per acre in the Medium Density Residential Category. (See attached revised Table 3.5) 2) falsely represented that the City is not changing the Density range for the Medium Density Residential Category going forward. The representation was correct. The Planning Commission is not recommending a density increase in the Medium Density Residential Category. See above action. 3) falsely reported that the increases in Density only impact land within the Greater Southdale Area. Density had been proposed and approved to increase in the small area plans outside of the Greater Southdale Area. (44th & France, 70th and Cahill) The 50th and France area was reduced by City Council from a maximum of 100 units per acre to 75. The High-Density Residential category was also increased from 12 to 30 units per acre to 20-60 units per acre in the Grandview area and Highway 62 & Tracy Avenue. The vast majority of the density increases are within the Greater Southdale Area. No action needed. 4) falsely represented that the Greater Southdale District Residential was a pre-existing category. Greater Southdale District Residential was not a land use category in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. The High-Density Residential land use in the Southdale District was recategorized in the 2018 plan as Greater Southdale District Residential, along with an increase of density from 12 to 30 units per acre to 50 to 100 units per acre. No action needed. 5) falsely represented the Density going forward for 50th & France, as compared to what the City actually entered into the Draft Comp Plan—something I subsequently addressed. When the City Council approved the Small Area Plan for 50th and France, the density was reduced from a maximum of 100 units per acre to 75 units per acre. The draft plan includes the reduced density that was approved by the City Council. No action needed.
6 and 7) falsely represented the going forward Density and the going forward Land Use Category, for the Mixed-Use Center at Southdale, as compared to what the City has actually entered in the Draft Comp Plan. The existing Mixed-Use Center at Southdale was transitioned to the Community Activity Center since the allowed land uses within those categories were the same, and to reflect updated guidance from the small area planning process. The density in what was the Mixed-Use Center (and later became the Community Activity Center) remained the same with a maximum density of 150 units per acre. The area that was Community Activity Center in the 2008 Plan was increased from 12 to 105 units per acre to 90 to 150 units per acre. No action needed. 8) falsely represented that the City is not proposing to change the Land Use Category of any land in the City, which also contradicts a statement of intent that is found in the Draft Plan. As part of the Small Area Plan for 70th and Cahill, there were properties east of Amundson Avenue that were recommended for a land use change from Industrial to Neighborhood Node. These were identified in that study. These are the only properties in which the actual land uses for the site are recommended for change and will therefore require rezoning following formal adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. The names of some land use categories have changed throughout the City, however, the uses allowed within them have not changed significantly enough to require rezoning. No action needed. 9) concealed a 7-acre increase in the number of acres assigned to the Mixed-Use Center Land Use Category at either or both the Grandview and 50th & France Districts, and at this time, I haven’t learned which one or both. There is no increase in area or change to the boundaries of the Mixed-Use Center in either Grandview or 50th and France. The difference appears to be the result in a change how acreage was calculated between the previous and current Comprehensive Plan. Numbers in the current plan are based on updated GIS analysis of the parcel layer shown on the map. No action needed. 10) Ms. Castellano questioned if properties on Maple Road or the lid account for the increase in acres mentioned in 9) above The area over Highway 100 that was part of what had been referred to as the “lid” is not part of the Grandview Mixed Use area. The boundary at the Mixed-Use Center for 50th and France has not been expanded to include low density residential properties along Maple Road. No action needed.

Adopt Resolution No. 2019-66 approving preliminary & final plat, platting an existing outlot, and development
contract at Oak Lane.
INTRODUCTION:
The applicant, Lance Elliott is proposing to build a new single-family home on property that is currently platted as
an Outlot. This lot was originally created in 1975 as part of Warden Acres Austin Replat and Warden Acres
Austin 2nd Replat. See attached 1975 and 1985 P lats. In the 1975 P lat, 25 feet of right-of-way was dedicated to
the City with the intention of building a street to the east from Oak Lane to Garden Avenue (see attached). An
additional 25 feet right-of-way was expected to be taken from the property to the south when it was ready to be
developed.
On August 14, 2019, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Preliminary P lat and Variances.
Vote: 7 Ayes and 2 Nays.
See attached staff reports.

Preliminary & Final Plat, Lot Depth Variance and Development Contract – Platting an Existing
Outlot – Oak Lane
Information / Background:
The applicant, Lance Elliott is proposing to build a new single-family home on property that is currently
platted as an Outlot. This lot was originally created in 1975 as part of Warden Acres Austin Replat
and Warden Acres Austin 2nd Replat. See attached 1975 and 1985 Plats. In the 1975 Plat, 25 feet of
right-of-way was dedicated to the City with the intention of building a street to the east from Oak Lane
to Garden Avenue (see attached). An additional 25 feet right-of-way was expected to be taken from
the property to the south when it was ready to be developed. However, over the past 40+ years the
rules regarding filling in wetlands and flood plains have changed and the property to the south did not
develop. See attached floodplain and wetland map. Note that there is a large wetland to the east,
which has prevented the street from being built. However, there still is the opportunity for the street
to be extended unless the right-of-way be vacated.
The original request was to construct a private driveway over the existing right-of-way. Private
driveways can only be built within public rights-of-way if the underlying property owner is agreeable.
In this instance, the underlying owner is not agreeable; therefore, a public street and alley is requested
to be constructed to provide access to the site. Five feet of additional right of way would be dedicated
to the City to expand the right-of-way to 30 feet. Cities may build public streets within existing right-
of-way. Where the right-of-way is 25 feet in width, the street would be considered an alley. An alley
is public right-of-way less than 30 feet in width, which is used or usable for a public thoroughfare.
The city engineer has reviewed the revised street/alley plans and finds them acceptable subject to
the terms in the Development Contract. Staff believes it is reasonable to serve the site with a reduced
width street/alley to provide access to this lot, until such time that the property to the south and/or
east is proposed to be subdivided. If the property to the south is subdivided, the City may require the
proposed street be widened and assess the cost in accordance with the City’s assessment policy.
The Development Contract has been drafted by the city attorney and the applicant is agreeable to
the terms. The Developer is responsible for snow removal from the street and all maintenance and
repair. If the property to the south of the street is subdivided the City may require the street to be
widened and assess the cost in accordance with the City’s assessment policy.

Cary Teague, Community Development Director
Preliminary Plat – Platting an Existing Outlot – Oak Lane
Information / Background:
The applicant, Lance Elliott is proposing to build a new single-family home on property that is
currently platted as an Outlot. This lot was originally created in 1975 as part of Warden Acres
Austin Replat and Warden Acres Austin 2nd Replat. (See attached 1975 and 1985 Plats.) Within the
1975 Plat, 25 feet of right-of-way was dedicated to the City with the intention of building a street
to the east from Oak Lane to Garden Avenue. (See attached.) An additional 25 feet right-of-way
was expected to be taken from the property to the south when it was ready to be developed.
However, over the past 40+ years the rules in regard to filling in wetlands and flood plains have
changed and the property to the south did not develop. (See attached floodplain and wetland map.
Note that there is a large wetland to the east, which prevented the street from being built.)
The applicant would like build a private driveway within the existing right-of-way and build a home
on the existing outlot. Edina city ordinance requires outlots to be replatted prior to any
construction.
To accommodate the request, the following is required:
1. Preliminary Plat; and
2. A lot depth variance from 151 to 138 feet.
Within this neighborhood, the minimum lot size is established by the median width, depth and area
of all lots within 500 feet of the property. The minimum lot width and area requirements are met.
Surrounding Land Uses
The lots on all sides of the subject properties are zoned and guided low-density residential, and
contain single-family residential homes.
STAFF REPORT Page 2
Existing Site Features
The existing site is vacant, contains, mature trees and a wetland. See the attached tree
inventory.
Planning
Guide Plan designation: Single-dwelling residential
Zoning: R-1, Single-dwelling district
Outlots
Section 32-9 of the Edina City Code regulates outlots as follows:
(a) It is the policy of the city to allow outlots on plats and subdivisions presented to the city for
approval pursuant to this chapter, but only for the purpose of simplifying the descriptions of
parcels of land that:
(1) Would otherwise be excepted from the platted area; or
(2) Are to be conveyed or dedicated to the city or other public body.
(b) Therefore, any outlots shown on a plat or subdivision approved by the council shall not be,
nor deemed to be, lots or parcels, as defined in chapter 36, nor shall any outlots be
developed by the erection or placing of improvements on the outlots, unless first replatted
into lots and blocks pursuant to this chapter and the applicable provisions of state law.
Except, however, improvements may be erected or placed by the city or other public body
upon outlots conveyed or dedicated to it.
This lot was platted as an outlot in 1985 as part of the Warden Acres Austin 2nd Replat, and the
1973 Warden Acres Austin Replat. (See attached Plats.) It was platted at an outlot subject to future
platting of property to the south and west. (See attached history/minutes.) Right-of-way was platted
in 1973 to provide access to this lot in the Warden Acres Austin Replat. There was to be a street
constructed between Oak Lane and Garden Avenue. Additional right-of-way was to be obtained
with the platting of lots to the south to complete the street. (See attached existing right-of-way.)
However, the property to the south never redeveloped and the roadway never constructed. This
is due in large part to the wetland located to the east. (See attached wetland map.)
The outlot under consideration to be built on could be served by a private driveway over the
existing right-of-way to provide access to the site.
STAFF REPORT Page 3
Lot Dimensions
Area Lot Width Depth
REQUIRED 12,800 s.f. 82 feet 190 feet
Lot 1 20,064 s.f. 140 feet 138 feet*
*Variance requested
The proposed subdivision meets the lot area and width requirements, but does not meet the
lot depth requirement. (See the attached median calculations done by a licensed surveyor.)
Grading/Drainage/Utilities
Drainage flows from north to the south toward the wetlands. This drainage pattern will
continue. (See attached grading and drainage plan.) The applicant is proposing to capture runoff
in a raingarden to slow down and filter sediment before draining to the wetland. The watershed
district has required a buffer adjacent to the wetland.
The city engineer has reviewed the proposed plans and found them to be acceptable. There
shall be no increase in peak rate or volume to neighboring private properties. The detailed
grading plans would be reviewed by the city engineer at the time of building permit application
for each lot. A construction management plan will be required for the construction of the new
home. Any approval of the proposed plat would be subject to meeting all the conditions
required by engineering in their review memo dated August 2, 2019. Retaining walls will likely
be required at the time of building permit for the construction of the driveway, to minimize
impact to the adjacent property.
Street Access
As mentioned, access to the site is proposed by a private driveway that would be constructed
within existing platted public right-of-way. After preliminary approval has been given to a plat or
subdivision, the applicant shall enter into an encumbrance agreement to construct the driveway
in the right-of-way with the city, on terms and conditions determined by the city. The city
engineer has recommended construction of retaining walls with the driveway construction to
minimize impacts on adjacent property.
Staff recommends that the east-west portion of the right-of-way should be centered in the
right-of-way to allow room for landscaping north of the driveway to minimize impacts on the
neighboring home to the north.
The driveway length from the nearest improved street, Oak Lane is over 200 feet, therefore
the new home must be constructed with a fire sprinkler system, as required by the fire marshal.
(See attached memo from the fire marshal.)

City Code Considerations
Sec. 32-130. – Considerations. The planning commission, in reviewing proposed plats and
subdivisions and in determining its recommendation to the council, and the council in
determining whether to approve or disapprove of any plat or subdivision, may consider, among
other matters, the following:
(1) Whether the physical characteristics of the property, including, without limitation,
topography, vegetation, susceptibility to erosion or siltation, susceptibility to flooding, use as
a natural recovery and ponding area for storm water, and potential disturbance of slopes
with a grade of 18 percent or more, are such that the property is not suitable for the type
of development or use proposed.
(2) Whether development within the proposed plat or subdivision will cause the disturbance of
more than 25 percent of the total area in such plat or subdivision containing slopes
exceeding 18 percent.
(3) Comply with section 10-82. (Tree Ordinance)
Protected trees may be removed without mitigation, in the following areas:
a. Including, and within a ten-foot radius of, the building pad, deck or patio of a new or
remodeled building.
b. Including, and within a five-foot radius of driveways and parking areas.
c. Including, and within ten-foot radius of installation of public infrastructure improvements
including public roadways, stormwater retention areas and utilities.
Trees outside of these areas would have to be replaced.
Sec. 32-131. - Additional considerations.
In addition to the foregoing matters, the commission, in connection with its recommendation
to the council, and the council in determining whether to approve or disapprove a proposed
plat or subdivision, shall specifically and especially consider the following matters:
(1) Whether the proposed plat or subdivision complies with the policies, objectives and goals of
the comprehensive plan.
(2) Whether the proposed plat or subdivision complies with chapter 36.
(3) Whether the design of the proposed plat or subdivision, or the design or type of
improvements proposed to be placed thereon, may be detrimental to the health, safety or
general welfare of the public.
(4) Whether the proposed plat or subdivision conforms to, and complies with, the
requirements of applicable state law.
(5) Whether the proposed plat or subdivision complies with the policies, objectives, goals and
requirements of this chapter, as varied by variances therefrom, if any.
STAFF REPORT Page 5
The proposed plat is compliant with the exception of the lot depth. The median lot depth is not
met due to the extremely deep lots to the south. (See attached.) These lots were planned to be
divided in half with the construction of the road that was to connect Oak Lane and Garden
Avenue. The 138 foot deep lot is reasonable when comparing the adjacent lot depths, which
range from 120-138 feet. This lot has already been platted as an outlot, with the assumption
that it would be built on in the future. The previous property owner dedicated the right-of-way
to the city to provide access.
Tree Removal
There would be 26 trees removed to accommodate the building pad and driveway. The
majority of these trees are Cottonwood; there are a couple of Oak trees that would be
removed in the building pad area. There is a lot of Buckthorn. Under the City’s tree ordinance,
these trees would not have to be replaced. Any trees removed outside of a 10-foot radius of
the building pad, deck, patio, stormwater or utilities, and outside a five-foot radius of driveways
and parking areas would have to be replaced. The applicant has provided a landscape plan with
this proposal to plant trees along the driveway.
Park Dedication
As with all subdivision proposals, park dedication is required. Edina City Code requires a park
dedication fee of $5,000 for each additional lot created. Therefore, a park dedication fee of
$5,000 to plat this outlot into a buildable lot.
History of Recent Subdivision Requests in Edina
The City of Edina has considered several subdivision requests with variances in recent years.
Please note that the location of this site is not in the vicinity of all of these recent subdivisions,
(See attached area map showing the locations of these requests…note that they are located in
the Pamela Park Area.)
History of Recent Subdivisions with Variances

property into two (2) 50-foot lots. (Median = 6,701 s.f. & 50 feet wide.)
STAFF REPORT Page 6
6. In 2012, 6120 Brookview was again proposed for subdivision. That request was
denied. (Median = 6,700 s.f. & 50 feet wide.)
7. In 2012, 5945 Concord was denied the request to subdivide the property into two
(2) 50-foot lots. (Median = 10,028 s.f. & 77 feet wide.)
8. In 2015, a 100-foot lot at 5825 Ashcroft Avenue was granted variances to divide
into two (2) 50-foot lots. (Median = 6,790 s.f. & 50 feet wide.)
9 In 2015, 5945 Concord was approved for a request to subdivide the property into
two (2) 50-foot lots. (Median = 10,028 s.f. & 77 feet wide.)
10. In 2016, 5845 Kellogg Avenue was denied a request to subdivide the property into
two (2) 50-foot lots. (Median = 6,715 s.f. & 50 feet wide.)
11. In 2017, 6124 Ewing Avenue was approved for a request to subdivide into two (2)
lots with lot width and area variances. (Median = 11,500 s.f. & 80 feet wide.)
12. In 2017, 5404 Park Place was approved for a request to subdivide into two (2) lots
with lot width variances from 75 feet to 65 feet for each lot; and lot area variances
from 9,000 square feet to 8,705 and 8,840 square feet. (Median = 8,107 s.f. & width
was 60 feet wide.)
13. In 2019, 5841 Oaklawn was approved for a request to subdivide into two (2) lots
with lot width variances from 75 feet to 50 feet for one lot; and lot area variances
from 9,000 square feet to 8,793 and 6,694 square feet.
Lot Depth Variance
Per state law and the Zoning Ordinance, a variance should not be granted unless it is found that
the enforcement of the ordinance would cause practical difficulties in complying with the zoning
ordinance and that the use is reasonable. As demonstrated below, staff believes the proposal
meets the variance standards, when applying the three conditions:
a) Will the proposal relieve practical difficulties that prevent a reasonable use from
complying with the ordinance requirements?
Reasonable use does not mean that the applicant must show the land cannot be put to any
reasonable use without the variance. Rather, the applicant must show that there are practical
difficulties in complying with the code and that the proposed use is reasonable. “Practical
difficulties” may include functional and aesthetic concerns.
The practical difficulty is the fact this lot was platted for future development at 138 feet of
depth. It met the city standard at that time of 135 feet. Additionally, the road was never
constructed to serve this lot, as the property to the south was never developed, likely due to
the location of a large wetland.
STAFF REPORT Page 7
b) There are circumstances that are unique to the property, not common to every
similarly zoned property, and that are not self-created?
The circumstances of the previous platting in this area that includes right-of-way to provide
access and future street construction are unique in this area and not common in other R-1
Zoning Districts. These conditions were not created by the applicant.
c) Will the variance alter the essential character of the neighborhood?
No. The proposed improvements requested by the variance would not alter the essential
character of the neighborhood. The new single-family home would be constructed on an
existing lot similar to lot sizes in the Grove Street area.
Primary Issues
• Is the proposed Re-plat (Platting an Outlot into a buildable lot) with a Lot Depth
Variance reasonable for the site?
Yes. Staff believes that the proposed subdivision is reasonable for the following reasons:
1. With the exception of the lot depth, the proposed lot meets all minimum zoning ordinance
requirements.
2. Lot depth is reasonable in the context of this neighborhood (The Grove Street area) with
lot depths ranging from 120 feet to 138 feet.
3. The lot size is similar and in many instances larger than many in the neighborhood.
4. Upon compliance with all city and watershed district requirements for grading and drainage,
the proposed subdivision would not have a negative impact on adjacent property.
5. This lot was platted with the assumption that it would be built on in the future. The
previous property owner dedicated the right-of-way to the city to provide access.
6. A public road is not likely to be constructed in this right-of-way due to the location of
wetland to the east.
7. It is reasonable to serve the site with a private driveway over the public right-of-way to
provide access to this lot.
STAFF REPORT Page 8
Options for Consideration
Denial
Recommend the City Council deny the proposed Preliminary Plat with the Lot Depth Variance.
Denial is based on the following findings:
1. The proposed plat does not meet the standards outlined in Sec. 32-130. – Considerations as
follows:
(1) Whether the physical characteristics of the property, including, without limitation,
topography, vegetation, susceptibility to erosion or siltation, susceptibility to flooding, use
as a natural recovery and ponding area for storm water, and potential disturbance of
slopes with a grade of 18 percent or more, are such that the property is not suitable for
the type of development or use proposed.
(2) Whether development within the proposed plat or subdivision will cause the disturbance
of more than 25 percent of the total area in such plat or subdivision containing slopes
exceeding 18 percent.
(3) Comply with section 10-82. (Tree Ordinance)
2. The physical characteristics of the subject property including topography, trees, vegetation,
wetland, susceptibility to erosion and siltation, make the subject property unsuitable for
development.
3. Development of the site as proposed would be harmful to adjacent properties.
4. A public street to serve this lot will not be built due to topography, mature trees and the
location of a large wetland.
Approval
Recommend the City Council approve the proposed Preliminary Plat with the Lot Depth Variance.
Approval is based on the following findings:
1. With the exception of the lot depth, the proposed lot meets all minimum zoning ordinance
requirements.
2. Lot depth is reasonable in the context of this neighborhood (Grove Street area) with lot depths
ranging from 120 feet to 138 feet.
3. The lot area is similar and in many instances larger than many in the neighborhood.
4. Upon compliance with all city and watershed district requirements for grading and drainage, the
proposed subdivision would not have a negative impact on adjacent property.
5. This lot was platted with the assumption that it would be built on in the future. The previous
property owner dedicated the right-of-way to the city to provide access.
STAFF REPORT Page 9
6. A public road is not likely to be constructed in this right-of-way due to the location of wetland
to the east.
7. It is reasonable to serve the site with a private driveway over the public right-of-way to provide
access to this lot.
Approval is subject to the following conditions:
1. The City must approve the final plat within one year of preliminary approval or receive a
written application for a time extension or the preliminary approval will be void. Final plat shall
include a complete grading and drainage plan subject to review and approval of the city
engineer.
2. At the time of final plat approval, the applicant shall enter into an encumbrance Agreement to
construct the driveway in the right-of-way with the city, on terms and conditions determined
by the city. The city engineer has recommended construction of retaining walls with the
driveway construction to minimize impacts on adjacent property.
3. Prior to release of the final plat, the following items must be submitted:
a. Park dedication fee of $5,000 must be paid prior to release of the final plat.
b. Submit evidence of a Nine Mile Creek Watershed District approval. The City may
require revisions to the preliminary plat to meet the district’s requirements.
4. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the following items must be submitted:
a. Curb-cut permits must be obtained from the Edina engineering department.
Driveway plans are subject to review and approval of the city engineer.
b. A construction management plan will be required for the construction of the new
home.
c. Utility hook-ups are subject to review of the city engineer.
d. There shall be no increase in peak rate or volume to neighboring private property.

findings and conditions listed above.
Deadline for a City Decision: November 6, 2019
DATE: August 2, 2019
TO: Cary Teague, Community Development Director
FROM: Zuleyka Marquez, Graduate Engineer
RE: Oak Lane: Outlot A 32211721410101 - Variance Review
The Engineering Department has reviewed the subject property for street and utility concerns, grading, storm
water, erosion and sediment control and for general adherence to the relevant ordinance sections. This review was
performed at the request of the Planning Department; a more detailed review will be performed at the time of
building permit application. Plans reviewed include the existing conditions survey, and proposed grading & erosion
control plan, proposed utility plan, and stormwater & wetland plan revised 5/13/19. A certificate of survey dated
6/28/19 was also reviewed.
Grading and Drainage The proposed plan includes full redevelopment of the property. Site drains to a local 1% annual chance floodplain.
Proposed drainage is similar to existing lot.
Stormwater Mitigation
Stormwater was reviewed and is consistent with City of Edina Building Policy SP-003 standards. A final grade as-built
survey and inspection will be required to verify compliance with the approved stormwater plan.
Floodplain Development The proposed lowest floor is at 912’. The local flood elevation is 908.8’. Compensatory storage required if fill is
placed in the 1% annual chance floodplain. Applicant to submit earthwork calculations with building permit
application.
Erosion and Sediment Control An erosion control plan was reviewed and is consistent with City of Edina Building Policy SP-002.
Street and Curb Cut The applicant proposes a new driveway in the right-of way. A curb cut permit will be required. Staff has concerns
with the preliminary grading plan from a constructability and slope stability standpoint adjacent to the driveway.
Applicants engineer understood the concerns and stated it would be addressed in the final design.
Public Utilities Water and sanitary are served from Oak Lane. A one-inch water service line from the curb stop to the dwelling is
required per the City’s policy SP-024, which is shown on the utility plan.
Other Items
A final Nine Mile Creek Watershed District permit is required. A wetland buffer is required and proposed. The
wetland delineation is over 5-years old. City will require confirmation from watershed on use of this delineation.
Retaining walls may be needed for proposed driveway. If greater than 4-feet, the applicant will be required to submit
drawings, cross-section, and calculations prepared and signed by a Minnesota licensed professional engineer.

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-66
APPROVING A PRELIMINARY & FINAL PLAT WITH A LOT DEPTH VARIANCE AND
APPROVAL OF THE DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT FOR WARDEN ACRES AUSTIN 2ND
REPLAT OF OUTLOT A
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, as follows:
Section 1. BACKGROUND.
1.01 The applicant, Lance Elliott is proposing to build a new single-family home on property that is
currently platted as an Outlot. This lot was originally created in 1975 as part of Warden Acres
Austin Replat and Warden Acres Austin 2nd Replat.
1.02 Within the 1975 Plat, 25 feet of right-of-way was dedicated to the City with the intention of
building a street to the east from Oak Lane to Garden Avenue. An additional 25 feet right-of-
way was expected to be taken from the property to the south when it was ready to be
developed. However, over the past 40+ years the rules in regard to filling in wetlands and
flood plains have changed and the property to the south did not develop. There is a large
wetland to the east, which have prevented the street from being built. The proposed plans
however would still provide the opportunity for the street to be extended to the east.
1.03 The applicant would dedicate an additional 5-feet of right-of-way along the south lot line to
increase the right-of-way to 30 feet. The applicant would then build a reduced width public
street and alley within the existing right-of-way and build a home on the existing outlot.
1.04 Cities may build public streets within existing right-of-way. Where the right-of-way is 25 feet
in width, the street would be considered an alley. An alley is public right-of-way less than 30
feet in width, which is used or usable for a public thoroughfare.
1.05 Edina city ordinance requires outlots to be replatted prior to any construction.
1.06 The property owner is responsible for snow removal, maintenance and repair of the
proposed street.
1.07 If the property to the south and east of the proposed alley/street is subdivided, the City may
require the proposed alley/street be widened to accommodate additional lot(s) and assess the
cost in accordance with the City’s assessment policy.
1.08 Within this neighborhood, the minimum lot size is established by the median width, depth and
area of all lots within 500 feet of the property. The minimum lot width and area requirements
are met.
1.09 The following described tract of land is requested to be platted:
Outlot A, Warden Acres Austin 2nd Replat, Hennepin County, Minnesota.
1.10 To accommodate the request the following is required:
Resolution No. 2019-66
Page 2
1. Preliminary & Final Plat; and
2. A lot depth variance from 151 to 138 feet.
1.09 The Subject Property is guided Single Family Residential under the City’s Comprehensive Plan
and is zoned R-1, Single Dwelling Unit District.
1.10 On August 14, 2019 after published and mailed notice in accordance with Minnesota Statutes
and the City Code, the Planning Commission held a public hearing, at which time all persons
desiring to be heard concerning this application were given the opportunity to speak thereon.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Preliminary Plat and Variances.
Vote: 7 Ayes and 2 Nays.
1.11 On September 4, 2019, the City Council continued the public hearing to December 3rd, 2019.
1.12 On December 3, 2019, the City Council held a public hearing and considered the request.
Section 2. FINDINGS
2.01 Approval is based on the following findings:
1. Except for the lot depth, the proposed lot meets all minimum zoning ordinance
requirements.
2. The applicant is dedicating 5-feet of right-of-way to increase the right-of-way width to 30
feet.
3. Lot depth is reasonable in the context of this neighborhood (Grove Street area) with lot
depths ranging from 120 feet to 138 feet.
4. The lot area is similar and, in many instances, larger than many in the neighborhood.
5. Upon compliance with all city and watershed district requirements for grading and drainage,
the proposed subdivision would not have a negative impact on adjacent property.
6. This lot was platted with the assumption that it would be built on in the future. The
previous property owner dedicated the right-of-way to the city to provide access.
7. A public street is not likely to be constructed to connect to Garden Avenue due to the
location of wetland to the east; however, without vacating right-of-way, it is still possible.
8. It is reasonable to serve the site with a reduced width public street and alley to provide
access to this lot, until such time that the property to the south and east is proposed to be
subdivided. If these properties are subdivided, the City may require the proposed
alley/street be widened and assess the cost in accordance with the City’s assessment policy.

4801 W 50th St
Edina, MN 55424
Re: Formal platting of Outlot A and related variance request, PID 3211721410101
Dear Mr. Teague,
Please see the enclosed applications.
Proposed Lot Plat
This request is to formally plat Outlot A to create a lot for a single family home. This outlot was held
by the original developer for the future development of two residential lots at the time of the
original plat, but we are proposing to plat the property into just one lot. Access to the lot is
provided via Oak Lane.
We have applied for and received approval from Nine Mile Creek Watershed for the development of
this lot, including the driveway. A wetland buffer that exceeds the minimal requirements is
proposed as well as a large rainwater garden to handle stormwater runoff. The proposed runoff
rates are less than existing. A copy of this approval is provided with this application.
Below is a summary of the proposed lot.
Lot Area: 20,064 SF (Exceeds 9,000SF minimum and 12,800 SF median lot size in 500’ Neighborhood)
Lot Width: 149.14 Feet (Exceeds 75 Feet minimum and 82 Feet median lot width in 500’
Neighborhood)
Lot Depth: 138.15 Feet (Exceeds 120 Feet minimum but less than 151.6 Feet median lot depth in
500’ Neighborhood, therefore variance is required)
As you can see, the proposed lot greatly exceeds the minimum size requirements under Chapters 32
and 63, other than the lot depth is slightly less that the median lot depth based on the 500’
Neighborhood calculation. This is primarily due to the 500’ limit touching the deep lots located on
the other side of Benton which is a significant distance from the property. In fact, if only two of
those lots missed the 500’ line, the proposed lot would be in full compliance and no variance would
be required. Also, something to note, 27 of the 61 lots within the 500’ limit have a lot depth less
than our proposed depth.
5616 Dalrymple Rd, Edina, MN 55424 Phone: (612) 220-0152 www.elliottdesignbuild.com
Variance Request
All of the criteria of the City of Edina Ordinances are met in our Plat Application except Sec. 36-437
(3) Minimum Lot Depth. Although the lot exceeds the standard 120 feet depth minimum by over 18
feet at 138.15 feet, it is slightly shorter than the median lot depth of the lots within the 500’ radius
neighborhood of 151.6 feet depth.
The “Practical Difficulties” is that at the time of the original plat, the size of the subject property met
the minimum lot depth requirements. In fact, it still does. The proposed lot depth of 138.15 is over
18 feet deeper than the minimum size requirement. But, it is technically less than the median lot
depth of all the lots within 500 feet of the property based on this secondary provision in the city
code. The reason for this is two-fold. There are a number of lots on the south side of Benton Ave.
that are extremely deep at 299 feet. Also, some of the property owners in the near vicinity
purchased second lots and joined them with theirs, creating double deep lots. If you were to
disregard these lots for discussion purposes, our proposed lot would actually be one of the deeper
lots in the neighborhood. All of these circumstances are unique to this property and not caused by
the petitioner.
Once granted, this variance will not alter the essential character of the property or neighborhood.
The majority of the lots adjoining the property and in the vicinity have less lot depth than our
proposed depth. Also, with a lot width and total area of the proposed lot is over twice the minimum
size requirements, this lot will actually look and feel larger than the surrounding lots.
Thank you for your consideration and please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Lance Elliott, PE

RESPONSE TO PETITION
TO: The Honorable Mayor James Hovland (via email)
Edina Council Members (via email)
Community Development Director Cary Teauge (via email)
City Manager Scott Neal (via email)
City Council Correspondence Submission portal
Please see the following response to the petition submitted by Rick Bale regarding Oak Lane.
1. It is our understanding that Mr. Elliott does not own Outlot A. He has an option to purchase
the Outlot if he can proceed with his project to clear the land and build a house. Mr. Elliott
cannot be subject to a hardship in connection with property he does not own.
The owner of the property submitted the variance request and I am working for them as a
professional engineer. The owner has the hardships as described in the variance request
application. The fact that Sara and I have disclosed that we would like to purchase the
property from the current owner upon approval should not have any impact on the variance
request.
2. The project will require the removal of a very large stand of mature cottonwood trees at the
end of Oak Lane for the construction of the driveway, and the removal of other mature trees,
including mature oaks, to accommodate the building pad on the Outlot.
The revised plan shows the driveway shifted slightly coming off the culdesac to preserve 13
cottonwood trees from being removed, as compared to the original plan approved at the
Planning Commission Meeting. We voluntarily made this change to reduce the total number of
trees being removed for the entire project (driveway and home site) from 26 to 13 trees. Note
that the majority of the trees being removed are of poor quality. They are either severely
leaning, or hollowed out in the center and dying. We are preserving 12 mature oak trees,
which are the main grove of trees that create the natural wooded feel.
3. We oppose the loss of these mature climate change buffering trees because they cannot be
adequately replaced by smaller, immature replacement trees.
As described in 2. above, we have minimized the number of proposed trees to be removed. In
addition, even though no replacement trees are required for this project, we are voluntarily
planting over 30 new trees throughout the site. Upon completion, we are confident that the
overall tree buffer will exceed current conditions.
4. The Outlot has a uniquely significant influence on the character of our neighborhood because
of the number of properties immediately adjacent to and surrounding the Outlot.
As reflected in the plan, we have created a site that will retain the natural character of the
neighborhood by saving 12 mature oak trees. In addition, by removing the buckthorn and poor
quality trees and replacing them with over twice as many trees being removed, the overall
status of the woodland on the site will actually be significantly improved.
5. Since the 1980’s, the character of our neighborhood has been defined by the presence of the
wooded Outlot, and the natural habitat it provides for wood ducks, racoon, piliated woodpecker,
fox, hawks, horned owls and other wildlife.
The goal has been to preserve the natural habitat and create a low-impact design that blends
into the surroundings. In addition to preserving the majority of existing trees and planting more,
the oversized raingarden is designed to not only handle storm water runoff but includes
flowering plants that provide habitat for bees and butterflies. A new wetland buffer exceeding
the required size will be created along the wetland boundary. This buffer will create superior
wildlife refuse compared to the current condition of bare soil and buckthorn. We also plan to
build wood duck nesting boxes to be placed in the wetland.
6. The project would dramatically open up the neighborhood visually and acoustically and
eliminate the privacy and natural setting afforded by the Outlot.
As described in responses 1-5 above, the project will not dramatically “open up” the
neighborhood visually and acoustically. Upon completion, there will be very little difference
from the current conditions and the property will be very similar to the surrounding properties.
To put it into context, there is about 115,000 square feet of “natural area” that the petition is
referring to. This area includes the wetland and surrounding wooded areas including the
subject lot. The proposed house and driveway will displace less than 5% of this natural area. In
other words, 95% of the existing woods and wetland in the vicinity will remain as-is.
7. The project also would remove a precious pocket of urban wildlife that has been an integral
part of our neighborhood for decades, and take away for ourselves and our children the
opportunity to experience and learn about our natural world close to home.
As described in 5 and 6 above, most of the natural areas is being preserved for urban wildlife.
The residents of Edina are fortunate to have access to an extensive network of parks, trails,
and access to urban wildlife. In fact, right across the street to the north, Garden Park has over
25 acres of natural wooded trails, ponds, and playgrounds.
8. We are very concerned that the stormwater runoff potential has not been adequately
investigated. Many of us struggle to manage the stormwater runoff in the area. The
construction of a house directly in the path of the flow of surface water runoff towards the
wetland presents significant risk to adjacent properties. In addition, the project envisions a
driveway built directly through an area that regularly see standing water from the wetland.
The stormwater runoff for this property has been investigated and analyzed very extensively.
The proposed plans meet (and actually exceeds) all of the City of Edina and Nine Mile Creek
Watershed requirements. The rainwater garden is oversized by nearly two times what is
required. Water runoff from this property will not impact surrounding properties and proposed
design does not impede or alter the path of water runoff from those properties to the wetland.
In fact, drainage will be improved for the neighboring properties with the creation of the
drainage swales shown along the west, north, and east property lines on the grading plan.

Lance Elliott, P.E.

Introduction
I delineated one wetland that partly occurred on property owned by Mr. Curtis Austin. The
subject property is located within an outlot of Warden Acres located within the City of Edina,
Hennepin County, Minnesota. This land is located in the NW1/4 of the SW1/4 T 117 N,
R 21 W, The subject property is located with Nine Mile Creek Watershed. This delineation was
necessary in order to provide information for planned development at the site. I completed this
delineation on July 3, 2006. Frank Carderalle Land Surveying, located all my flags and has
incorporated them onto plan sheets for client evaluation. I have included three figures in this
report. Figure 1 is the U.S.G.S. 7.5 minute topographic map that depicts the subject property and
the vicinity. I obtained the USGS Topographic map from www.deli.dnr.state.mn.us. Figure 2 is
the 2003 aerial photograph with overlays of the Hennepin County Soil Survey and the National
Wetland Inventory mapped data. I obtained the soils data from the NRCS at
www.soildatamart.nrcs.usda.gov, the aerial photograph at the Minnesota Land Management
Information Center at www.lmic.state.mn.us, and the NWI data at the Minnesota data deli.
Figure 3 is the 2003 aerial photograph with the approximate locations of one delineated wetland
and two sample points that I utilized to help determine the wetland boundary. WWC produced
all figures in ArcView 3.3 GIS using UTM, Zone 15 North, NAD 1983 coordinates.
Precipitation (as a percent of normal) at the time of my delineation was near normal but since
that time conditions have become very dry as reported by the Minnesota Climatological Working
Group (www.climate.umn.edu, Figure 4). I have included data sheets as Appendix A, and these
data include specific, technical information observed at sample points. I have included all
relevant wetland information in the narrative descriptions of each wetland including
classification, number of flags, and sample point numbers.
Technical Criteria
I delineated wetlands described in this report using 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands
Delineation Manual (hereafter, 1987 Manual) combined with Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in
the United States (Version 4.0, March 1998). The 1987 Manual (Part II, paragraph 26a) defines
wetlands:
Definition. The CE (Federal Register 1982) and the EPA (Federal Register 1980) jointly define wetlands as:
Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration
sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically
adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar
areas.
The technical approach for identification and delineation of wetlands (1987 Manual, Part II,
paragraph 26c) requires a minimum of one positive indicator from each of three parameters:
vegetation, soils, and hydrology. Areas that meet these requirements are called jurisdictional
wetlands. The three requirements are dominance by hydrophytic vegetation, presence of hydric
soils, and presence of hydrology. Each of the three parameters are described below. When
2
delineating wetlands, I record information onto a hand-held tape recorder, and then transcribe
this information into reports when I return to the office.
Vegetation. A national interagency panel has prepared a National List of Plant Species that
occur in wetlands. Listings of plants and their wetland habitat dependencies are compiled in the
National List of Plant Species that Occur in Wetlands (Reed 1988). The 1987 Manual requires
that more than 50 percent of the dominant species are OBL, FACW, or FAC on lists of plant
species that occur in wetlands. The wetland habitat dependence of some plants are further
narrowed by using a positive or negative sign after the indicator which identifies plants on the
higher or lower portion of the range, respectively. A FAC- plant is not a hydrophyte because it
occurs less than 50-percent of the time in wetlands. I assessed dominants using the 50-20 Rule
detailed in the 1987 Manual.
Table 1. Wetland Habitat Dependence of Plants
Indicator Abbreviation Wetland Frequency of Occurrence
Obligate OBL >99%
Facultative Wetland FACW 67% - 99%
Facultative FAC 34 - 66%
Facultative Upland FACU 1% - 33%
Upland UPL <1%
Soils. Hydric soils are those soils that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or
ponding long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper
part (1998 NRCS Field Indicators). The following criteria reflect soils that meet the hydric soils
definition.
1 All Histosols except Folists
2. Soils in Aquic suborders, great groups, or subgroups, Albolls suborder, Aquisalids, Pachic subgroups, or
Cumulic subgroups that are:
a. Somewhat poorly drained with a water table equal to 0.0 foot from the surface during the
growing season, or
b. poorly drained or very poorly drained and have either:
(1) water table equal to 0.0 ft during the growing season if textures are coarse and, sand,
or fine sand in all layers within 20 inches; or for other soils
(2) water table at less than or equal to 0.5 ft from the surface during the growing season if
permeability is equal to or greater than 6.0 in/hour in all layers within 20 in, or
(3) water table at less than or equal to 1.0 ft from the surface during the growing season if
permeability is less than 6.0 in/hr in any layer within 20 in, or
3. Soils that are frequently ponded for long duration or very long duration during the growing season, or
4. Soils that are frequently flooded for long duration or very long duration during the growing season.
The hydric soil definition is difficult to apply in the field, and therefore, wetland delineators use
field indicators of hydric soils which relate to the criteria which in turn relate to the hydric soil
3
definition. Field indicators of hydric soils in the 1987 Manual have been superseded by Field
Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States (Version 4.0, March 1998). The field indicators
are based on the fact that:
Nearly all hydric soils exhibit characteristic morphologies that result from the repeated periods of saturation
and/or inundation for more than a few days. Saturation or inundation when combined with anaerobic
microbiological activity in the soil causes a depletion of oxygen. This anaerobiosis promotes
biogeochemical processes such as the accumulation of organic matter and the reduction, translocation,
and/or accumulation of iron and other reducible elements. These processes result in characteristic
morphologies which persist in the soil during both wet and dry periods, making them particularly useful for
identifying hydric soils.
Hydrology. Hydrology is often the most difficult of the three parameters to evaluate because
some wetland types may only display hydrology for a short period of time. Areas with evident
characteristics of wetland hydrology are those where the presence of water has an overriding in-
fluence on characteristics of vegetation and soils due to anaerobic and reducing conditions,
respectively (1987 Manual, Part III, paragraph 46). The minimum hydrologic requirement is
inundated or saturated to the surface continuously for at least 5% of the growing season in
most years (50% probability of recurrence). These areas are wetlands if they also meet
hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soil requirements (HQUSACE, 7 Oct 91 and 6 Mar 92)(1987
Manual, Part III, Table 5). The 1987 Manual also permits identification of two secondary
indicators of hydrology as evidence of saturation to the surface. Secondary indicators include
oxidized rhizospheres within the uppermost 10-inches, undisturbed soils in Aquic moisture
regimes, and a predominance of hydrophytes in the FAC neutral test.
WETLAND DESCRIPTIONS
WETLAND 1
Wetland 1 occurs in the middle of four Edina through-streets: Johnson Drive in the west, Benton
Avenue in the south, Hansen Road in the east, and Grove Street in the north (Figure 1). The
USGS Topographic map does reveal this area as a depression (Figure 1). The 2003 aerial
photograph depicts this as an opening with some apparent wetland characteristic within a
suburban neighborhood (Figure 2). The National Wetland Inventory mapped this area as a
Palustrine unconsolidated bottom semipermanently flooded wetland (PEMF, Figure 2). I could
not determine the meaning of the “843" label attached to the Hennepin County soils data, but I
predict that it was meant to be Glencoe silty clay loam as the area is the terminus of a broad
swale that runs northwest to southeast (Figure 2). It is also important to note that the entire area
is a “cut and fill” soil type that resulted from extensive development that occurred in this area in
the 1940s and 1950s. The wetland boundary that I delineated approximately corresponds with
all of the available mapped and photographic data. Although much of the basin is
unconsolidated bottom of mud the majority would be persistent emergent and broad-leaf,
deciduous forest and saturated which corresponds with classifications PUB3F, PEM1F, and
PFO1B, respectively. The Circular 39 classifications are Type 4, Type 3, and Type 1. Appendix
A contains the data sheets for three sample plots.
4
I sampled one wetland and one upland location to assist with my placement of the wetland
boundary. I used 31 consecutively-numbered flags to form a complete polygon around the entire
wetland that I labeled 1-1 START to 1-31 END. Most of the boundary was abrupt due to the
topography and the presence of common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica, FAC-) as an
overwhelming dominant. Sample Point 1 not jurisdictional wetland because it did not met all
three parameters. Dominant vegetation was not hydrophytic. Vegetation in the herbaceous
stratum consisted of common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica, FAC-) and, dwarf enchanter’s
nightshade (Circeae alpina, FACW). Common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica, FAC-) also
dominated the shrub stratum. Box elder (Acer negundo, FACW-) and green ash (Fraxinus
pennsylvanica, FACW). Soils were hydric based on the presence of a depleted matrix with
redox concentrations. I did not observe any primary hydrologic indicators but the plot did meet
the FAC-Neutral test as a secondary indicator. I observed that the plot was much higher than
obvious wetland.
Sample Point 2 was jurisdictional wetland because it met all three parameters. Dominant
vegetation consisted of bittersweet nightshade (Solanum dulcamara, FAC), lakebank sedge
(Carex lacustris, OBL), and American elm (Ulmus americana, FACW-). Soils were hydric
based on a high organic content in the uppermost portion of the profile. Hydrology consisted of
saturation within the uppermost 12-inches of the profile which is a primary indicator but I also
observed that the basin served as a collection point for surface water (i.e., drainage patterns) and
the plot met the FAC-Neutral test as a secondary indicator.
Conclusion
I delineated one wetland on the subject property. The wetland appears to be a collection point
for local surface water. This delineation was necessary because Mr. Austin is studying the
feasibility of collaborating with several adjacent property owners to develop the area and a
wetland delineation will be needed for plat approval. The wetlands that I delineated were
surveyed and incorporated onto the plan sheets. I labeled all sampling points with orange pin
flags. I flagged wetland boundaries with sequentially-numbered flourescent pink flags with the
words, “Wetland Boundary - WWC Inc.” This report ultimately is intended to accompany other
materials for plat approval.
I welcome any questions regarding technical details of this report, and I also affirm that the
material in this report represents my best professional judgement:

RE: Conditional Approval of NMCWD Permit 2019-25 for Home Construction at Lot A at the intersection of Grove St. and Oak Ln. in Edina
Dear Mr. Elliott, The Nine Mile Creek Watershed District has reviewed and conditionally approved the permit application for
the project referenced in bold above. The NMCWD permit was approved, but not valid and issued, until the project is in compliance with the following conditions:
1. General Conditions
2. Financial Assurance in the amount of $12,700.
3. Submission of documentation that a drainage easement over the stormwater-management
facilities has been submitted to Edina (4.5.4i), if such easement is required by the city.
4. A receipt showing recordation of a maintenance declaration for the on-site storm water
management facility and wetland buffer. A draft of the declaration must be approved by the
District prior to recordation.
By accepting the permit, when issued, the applicant agrees to the following:
• Per Rule 4.5.6, an as-built drawing of the storm water facilities conforming to the design
specifications as approved by the District must be submitted. A stage-volume relation for the
rainwater garden/infiltration basin must also be submitted.
• For the release of the $12,700 financial assurance required, Rule 12.4.1b requires demonstration
and confirmation that the storm water management facilities have been constructed or installed
and are functioning as designed and permitted. Verification, through daily observation logs and
photographs, must be provided showing the storm water facilities used for volume retention have
drawn down within 48 hours from the completion of two 1-inch (approximate) separate rainfall
events.
The Nine Mile Creek Watershed District will hold the permit until items 2, 3, and 4 above are received by the District.

• The building permit application was rejected due to the ground elevation along the back of the
house.
• Main issue was whether the lower level qualified as a story.
• Previous request for a variance for first floor elevation and was denied by City Council.
• Does the basement count as a story to the house or not and if the planter boxes change the
ground elevation.
Mr. Tim Keane, 60 South 6th Street, was at the meeting representing the applicant and made a
presentation. He asked that the letter submitted from the homeowner at 86 Woodland Curve be made a
part of the record.
Mr. Chad Holder, property owner of 5712 Woodland Lane, was at the meeting and answered questions.
Public Hearing
Mr. Nick Boosalis, 5704 Woodland Lane, showed a photo of the previous house on the property along
with a drawing of the proposed house that required a variance and reviewed the changes to the plan over
time.
Ms. Heather Beal, 4236 Crocker Avenue, was in support of staff’s recommendation to deny the permit
request for this three-story building.
Mr. Ken Potts, 4236 Crocker Avenue, was in support the staff decision and recommendation.
Mr. Tracy Eichhorn-Hicks, 5708 Woodland Lane, was in support of staff’s recommendation to deny the
permit.
Ms. Katherine Boosalis, 5704 Woodland Lane, was in support of staff’s recommendation to deny and
would like to see an alternate plan for the site.
Mr. Marty Freeman, 5637 Woodcrest Drive, thought there should be a solution to this which does not
involve repackaging the previous proposal where the variance was denied.
Ms. Lori Grotz, 5513 Park Place, was against this plan and agreed with staff.
Commissioner Miranda moved to close the public hearing. Commissioner Berube seconded
the motion. The motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Chad Holder, applicant, explained the reasoning for his house plan design and aesthetics.
Discussion/Comments/Questions

prior to when the city did the flood study and commented that some of the homes are slab on
grade.
• Commissioners asked what the difference was between planter boxes and re-grading the
backyard. Aaker explained that retaining walls are retaining grade/dirt. A longer discussion went
on regarding the definition of a retaining wall.
• Commissioners asked if the Watershed District or the City has regulations about having piers to
support a structure over the flood plain area to allow the flood plain to still be utilized and Aaker
replied that they do not in the flood way.
• Roger Knutson, City Attorney, summarized that the issue being presented to the Planning
Commission was if the basement counted as a story or not. Knutson stated that Staff does count
it as a story and that is what is being appealed. Knutson also summarized that the other issue
being presented is if the planter boxes change the ground elevation or not. Knutson stated that if
the planter boxes change the ground elevation then it’s not a story, but if the planter boxes do
not change the ground elevation then it is a story. Knutson said that the determination is made by
the Planning Commission.
• Commissioners asked what the Engineering or esthetic purpose of the retaining wall was. Mr.
Holder replied that it was to get to the 50 percent, which he stated was ridiculous. Mr. Holder
stated that he wished they didn’t have to include the retaining wall.
• Commissioners stated that the plain meaning of grade is the natural grade. Commissioners stated
that when you put a retaining wall to create an artificial grade, it no longer is plain. Commissioners
stated that the City seems to be more accurate in defining the grade where the existing grade is
and the retaining wall appears to be a tactic to get to the 50 percent. Mr. Holder agreed that the
plans were adjusted to meet code.
• Mr. Holder stated that he has looked at other plans, but believes the neighbors won’t like them
either. Mr. Holder stated that he also wants reasonable use of the property.
• Commissioners asked if it matters which door is considered the front door of the home and
Knutson replied that it does not.
• Commissioners stated that Staff did a great job and also stated that typically retaining walls are
used to hold back soil. Commissioners stated that typically there is a slope and a straight cut is
needed to hold soil back, but in this case the retaining wall was put up and then filled with soil to
push against the basement wall. Commissioners commented that the need for a retaining wall
should be a natural occurrence, not a manmade occurrence.
Commissioners summarized the reasons why this appeal should be denied:
• Concern about flooding if ground elevation along the back of the house is changed.
• Does not meet city code for a 2.5 story building.
• Previous variance request for first floor elevation was denied.
Motion
Commissioner Lee moved that the Planning Commission deny the appeal to the administrative
decision for 5712 Woodland Lane. Commissioner Berube seconded the motion. The motion
carried unanimously.

A. Sketch Plan Review – Vernon Avenue/Lane & Olinger Road (5835 Vernon Lane)
Director Teague presented the request for a Sketch Plan review. Teague stated the Planning Commission
is asked to consider a sketch plan request to develop the vacant land at the corner of Vernon
Avenue/Vernon Lane and Olinger Drive.
• Contingent on 75% of homeowner’s association for approval.
• Higher density nearby to proposed development.
• Comprehensive Plan Amendment would be needed.
Mr. Patrick McGlynn, McGlynn Partners, appeared before the Planning Commission and made a
presentation.
Mr. Ken Piper, Tanek Architects, 118 East 26th Street, Minneapolis, made a presentation to the Planning
Commission.
Discussion/Comments/Questions
• Providing a real need for this type of housing.
• The variety of styles is attractive.
• Price point is on the high end, so applicant needs to make the homes really nice.
• Need bike parking and connectivity for walking and biking.
• Benefit to the City if well done and offers a good variety of living choices.
• Address the two villas that are turned sideways and have it match all the other ones.
• Reluctant to see density on the corner but liked whatever is on the corner being different.
• Same style of living is close by and fits well in the area.
• Opportunity to treat the parcel as its own community.
• Massing on corner feels too heavy and chunky. Try to make the units smaller and increase the
number of units overall throughout the development.
• Concerned with possible setback variance on this project. Reduce parking to pull building back.
• Would like affordable housing in this project.
• Liked having a bus stop in front of where the condo’s will be.
• This all fits well with what the applicant is trying to do and is well designed.
• Liked the 8-10 feet setback on the third level.
• Would like buffer along Vernon for safety of residents. More landscaping between building and
road would be nice.
• Enhance bike parking and walking connectivity.
• Would like buffer along Vernon for safety of residents.
• Turn villas to match all other villas in development.
Mr. Michael Cashman, Homeowners Association representative, indicated this is part of the old Vernon
HOA and will require homeowner approval before City approval.

ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve Ordinance No. 2019-16 Amending City Code Chapter 2, Section 2-724 Schedule A, Setting Fees for
2020, and waive second reading.
INTRODUCTION:
Attached is a schedule of fees and charges to be adopted by Ordinance No. 2019-16, proposed for 2020. The
fees that are proposed to change from 2019 to 2020 are bold.
In summary, most fee changes are in the following chapters of City Code:
Chapter 18 - Fire Prevention
Fees are proposed to increase approximately 1.5% to better align with the cost of service.
Chapter 28 - Utilities
At the November 20, 2018 City Council work session, staff and Ehlers presented an update to the 2015 Utility
Rate Study. T he update recommended an increase of 5% for water and sanitary sewer charges and 8% for storm
sewer charges for 2020. The increase to water and sanitary sewer charges is consistent with previous annual
increases. The storm sewer charge is being increased 8% for 2020 compared to the 2015 rate study projection of
6.5% to offset increased proposed capital spending. Rates in the Morningside district will be set once we receive
the 2020 water rates from the City of Minneapolis.

INTRODUCTION:
The 2020-2021 budget process began in early 2019. Following an extensive process including several
departmental meetings, the preliminary 2020-2021 Budget was presented to the City Council for review at two
work sessions during August. On Sept. 17, staff recommended, and the Council approved a preliminary levy for
taxes payable in 2020 of $39,467,543 which is an increase of $2,228,522 or 5.9% over 2019.
Staff recommends the preliminary levy be approved as final as shown in attached resolution. If no budget
resolution is passed on December 3, the Council will be required by statute to act at the next meeting on
December 17, 2019.

PUBLIC HEARING: Resolution No. 2019-106 Setting the 2020 Tax Levy and Adopting 2020
Operating Budget
Information / Background:
The City Council will consider the City Manager’s proposed Budget and Tax Levy at the December 3, 2019
meeting. This budget is the result of an extensive process that began in early spring and included several
meetings among staff and City Council work sessions.
The final Tax Levy of $39,467,543 is the same as the preliminary levy that was approved by the City Council
on September 17. The HRA will consider the adoption of a final Tax Levy of $192,000 at their meeting also
scheduled on December 3. If approved, the Total Property Tax Levy will equal $39,659,543.
This levy represents an increase of 5.95% over the 2019 Total Tax Levy. For 2020, the median value home
has increased by 3.36% to $548,500 from $530,650 in 2019. The impact of the proposed 2020 levy on the
median value home is +5.98%, or $87 per year. The final levy includes:
1. General Fund Operations - $32,021,243
2. Arts and Culture - $20,000
3. Debt Service - $4,596,300
4. Construction Fund - $2,830,000
Other than some minor adjustments, the biggest change to the final 2020 budget is the addition of six new
paramedic/firefighters. This became possible when the City was awarded a Staffing for Adequate Fire and
Emergency Response (SAFER) grant.
Also, the City will begin accounting for our Equipment Operations, Information Technology, and Facilities
Management costs as individual Internal Service Funds. The advantages of using Internal Service Funds
include transparency of budgeting/spending, budgeted chargeback amount is set and does not require
adjustment at year-end, and the ability to build a fund balance for future needs. These are shown on pages
9-10 of the 2020-2021 Proposed Tax Levy and Budgets attachment.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2019-106.

Remarks delivered in person by Keith Friede
Edina City Council Meeting, Community Comment Section
November 19, 2019
This fall my wife Linda ran for the Edina School Board. She ran an awesome, solid,
intellectual, honest and ethical campaign.
I’m not here tonight to re-debate the school board election. I’m here simply to set the
record straight.
Edina, two weeks ago our mayor opined in these chambers, “School is not for politics.
School is for educating kids. Kids deserve better than to be the subject of politics.”
Yet on September 5, there was an annual fund raiser for the DFL state senator, co-
hosted by the mayor, at the DFL district chair’s home that was piggybacked into a
campaign kickoff event for the eventual winning candidates, complete with yard signs
displayed in violation of the city ordinance.
At a recent Rotary meeting, our mayor publicly endorsed those candidates and asked
members to display their yard signs.
Yet two weeks ago, Councilman Fischer said about the mayor, “I don’t think you tried to
pick candidates on one side or the other.”
At the beginning of the campaign, Linda sought out the DFL-affiliated head of the
teachers’ union to discuss important issues. At that meeting, he said, “You know, this is
going to get very political.”
And throughout the campaign, Linda heard from many Edina teachers who supported
her. They felt it was dangerous to their careers to more openly support Linda, their
former colleague.
The main reason that this school board campaign was so contentious was that there
were two fairly distinctly different educational philosophies and approaches in play, with
three candidates lining up pretty clearly behind one, and three lining up mostly behind
the other. That’s OK. That’s what should be debated in a school board campaign.
Vigorously.
One candidate and her supporters – backed by at least three city officials that I know of
– worked extremely hard at door knocking throughout Edina. And if those face-to-face
encounters had been wholly truthful, ethical and policy-oriented, I would salute the
candidate and her dedicated team. But they weren’t.
Here is just a selection of the lies and slanders we heard about from people whose
doors your fellow supporters knocked on:
Linda Friede is not really a teacher
She only cares about smart kids
She was the mole for the CAE article
She didn’t pay union dues and she took advantage of union negotiating without
financially supporting it
She hates Somalis, and
She is racist
Each of these lies – told by your fellow supporters – to use your words Councilman
Fischer, “was a very careful, well thought-out use of words to send a message to get a
reaction to achieve a certain goal.”
Mr. Mayor, you stated that, “The attempt by some in our community to mislead voters
with ill-founded fears and distorted facts should not be the new standard.”
No one in Linda’s campaign lied about or defamed her opponents. Ever. But your
candidates’ campaigners did.
[Not spoken, as Mr. Staunton was not in attendance:
Councilman Staunton, We know the names of some of these people. Perhaps you can
“take down the names” of the others.]
These were the campaigns that used your names and your prominence as city officials
as evidence of the candidates’ strength, credibility and superiority.
Also, we have a copy of a text string that one of your endorsed candidates was on, on
which your fellow supporters were discussing what embarrassing dirt they might dig up
on a supporter of Linda, to threaten and intimidate her to cancel a meet & greet for her.
Councilman Fischer – I’m going to use your words here . . . “If you don’t like something
about Linda’s campaign platform, that’s OK. But base it on what she really said. Base
it on what she really did. Give her the benefit of the doubt that maybe she is trying to
make the community better. It’s that simple. Let’s be ethical. Let’s be truthful. I think
everybody should be ethical in their communication and what they’re doing. I think that
would be great for our town.” So do I, Councilman.
The Friday before the election, our mayor used his influence to get an op ed placed in
the Star Tribune entitled, “Edina schools are under attack. As mayor, I’ve had enough.”
We do see through the timing of this – it was to influence the election in favor of the
candidates you supported. The op ed contained misrepresentations and omissions “to
send a message to get a reaction to achieve a certain goal.”
Linda was just 326 votes short of winning the third available seat on the board. We will
forever wonder what would have happened if the campaigns you supported had been
run ethically.
Our neighbors were at Hilltop on the evening of the election, where one of the mayor’s
endorsed candidates had a party. We are told that when the mayor arrived, he was
greeted by the candidates’ supporters with thunderous applause.
So – to my fellow Edinans:
The new school board will have an ideological supermajority. Based on social media
postings of her family, the new board chair has already been chosen. She fancies
herself a crack marketer. That should tell you a lot about where this is going. You will
soon be bombarded with happy talk from the board and the administration about the
state of Edina Schools, and there is truly a lot to celebrate. But it will also be a
marketing juggernaut designed to whitewash real problems that the board,
administration, union, and apparently most of this council, in concert, don’t want you to
understand, as things deteriorate further. Be vigilant.
I wish the best for you and your children – even those of you who may aggressively
disagree with my and my wife’s views, and even those who slandered her. May your
future in this community be all you want it to be.

Please see the attached petition letter, which I distributed to
occupied households on Sunnyside between France and Grimes
after the city notified us of plans to allow parking on both sides,
instead of just one side, of our street. This change supposedly is
being done to cut down on speeding traffic, but in reality will make
our street more dangerous than it already is for drivers and bikers.
As the petition letter points out, traffic speeds have not changed a
bit since the bump-outs were installed in 2016. to "calm" traffic.
Traffic volume and speed are problems now and will become worse
after the 4500 France project is done. City staff would be well-
advised to meet and talk with neighbors - the people who live with
this every day - before coming up with a "solution" and forcing it on
us. I will hand over the signed petition letters, a collective
expression of our opposition to this change, at the next Council
meeting.

Dear Neighbor,
The City of Edina recently sent out letters notifying us that it is going to test allowing parking on both
sides of Sunnyside from France to Arden Avenues. I am among neighbors who oppose this change and
consider it a wrong-headed way to achieve the city’s stated safety goal of slowing down traffic on our
street.
The reasons include:
1. Increased Danger for Drivers and Bikers – this is especially true given the amount of truck traffic,
which will increase when the 4500 France apartment/restaurant/retail project is built
2. Reduced Access for Emergency Vehicles – a neighbor on the “no-parking” side of Sunnyside was
denied a parking permit for a food service van for a party, told by the city that would restrict access for
firetrucks, ambulances, etc.
3. No Proof That Narrowing the Road Reduces Speeds – the city’s own data shows the average speed on
Sunnyside (30.3 miles) has not changed since the bump-outs were installed in our street reconstruction
I, along with other neighbors, believe there are ways to possibly manage traffic on Sunnyside, including
installing speed bumps and/or diverting some traffic from the 4500 France project.
If you’d like to have your views on this known, please sign and put your street address on the spaces I’ve
provided at the bottom of this page and put it in my mailbox at 4060 Sunnyside by November 20.
I will collect these and give them to the city, where they can serve as a neighborhood petition that
demonstrates our opposition.
Additionally, you can separately contact Traffic Safety Coordinator Nick Bauler (who has asked for
feedback) at 952-826-0349 or nbauler@edinamn.gov
Thanks,
Please sign below and return to Susan Peterson, 4060 Sunnyside
I am opposed to the City’s change to allow parking on both sides of Sunnyside Road.

Dear Mayor and Council Members
I urge you to approve the 2018 Comprehensive Plan as written,
without amendments that would compromise the zoning and land
use ordinances that support affordable housing and will secure
Edina as an inclusive, equitable, and future-oriented community.
Housing policy is also climate policy. Building sustainably and
Increasing housing density in as many ways and as quickly as
possible will enable more and better public transit--crucial to
reducing carbon emissions. This Comp Plan is an excellent start
that direction.
Finally, I know that some of you are targets for unwarranted and
deceitful personal attacks, both in public and privately. This Plan is
a thoroughly democratic document and the vast majority Edina of
residents support your work and your courageous commitment to its
passage.
Remember that you are unlikely to see or hear from those who will
benefit most from this Plan. They nevertheless look to you to
approve it.

Delivered via the online Correspondence Submission
Form for the Tuesday, December 3, 2019
Edina City Council Regular Meeting.
Sunday, December 1, 2019
Mayor and City Council,
The 50th & France Small Area Plan (“the 50th & France SAP”, or “the SAP”) clearly stipulates as policy a
going-forward 4-story building height limit. However, the SAP also contains an internal contradiction
about this matter. As it stands, some members of the public have been reassured by the limitation, as it
has positively addressed their concerns about height and their desire for a continuance of the 4-story
height limit, and they have either missed or not recognized an apparent contradiction, leading them to
accept the plan, possibly under false pretenses, that is, if a future adverse interpretation by the City of
Edina (“the City”) should occur. The City must remove the false and potentially misleading adverse
language. As an example, I will also describe a similar situation regarding building height that occurred
with the 2008 Comprehensive Plan (“2008 Comp Plan”).
Current Status: The 50th & France SAP received final approval by the City Council on 4-2-2019, but it has
not yet been placed into effect, as the Metropolitan Council (“Met Council”) guidelines require that the
City hold it until after the City Council gives final approval to the citywide, 2018 Comprehensive Plan
decennial Update (“2018 Comp Plan”), at which time the 2018 Comp Plan and the 50th & France SAP
will then be submitted together for Met Council approval and permission to place into effect. The 50th
& France SAP is incorporated by reference into the 2018 Comp Plan. The City should not submit the SAP
to the Met Council with known internal discrepancies.
If the City Council allows the SAP to go forward to the Met Council, in its present condition, in spite of
the discrepancy, then the City would be positioned to use its authority to re-interpret the SAP language
after-the-fact and without public consent. This could occur privately between the City and the Met
Council, should the Met Council observe the discrepancy during its review process, or it could occur
later, for example, when a redevelopment project is proposed.
Below are three quotations regarding building height that I was able to locate in the 50th & France SAP
(there might be more):
[CC-1] 50th & France SAP, Text Page 34 (PDF56). See top of the page:
Quote: “50th & France Building Height - Other than recommending that the four
story height limit in the zoning code should remain in place, this Small Area Plan
does not prescribe building height requirements for the study area.”
The above statement contains false information that should be removed,
as you will see below in [CC-3].
[CC-2] 50th & France SAP, Text Page 37 (PDF59). See the final sentence on the page:
Quote: “Note that this plan makes no recommendation regarding building height.”
The ambiguous reference to “this plan” appears in the context of a description
of “conceptual plan” imagery, and not as a reference to the SAP itself. This
unnecessary and potentially misleading statement should be removed.
R. Castellano, 12-1-2019, Page 2 of 3
[CC-3] 50th & France SAP, Text Page 51 (PDF73). See the final heading near the bottom of the page:
Quote: “Policies for Land Use and Community Design
1. With adoption of the plan the City will maintain the existing building height
limit at four stories.”
Here you can see that a going-forward 4-story building height limit
is not only clearly stipulated, but is further stipulated as policy.
Regarding Grandview:
The 2008 Comp Plan was finalized with an internal contradiction about the going-forward building
height in the Grandview District. Apparently, some people did not notice the discrepancy, and,
therefore, it was not resolved prior to Council approval. It also seems likely that, similar to the present
situation, some citizens believed that the City was proposing a building height limit of 4 stories at
Grandview, based on having seen a Futures map of building height limits in the 2008 Comp Plan.
[CC-4] Text Page 4-52 (PDF102): MAP “Figure 4.6A Future Land Use Plan with Building Heights:
Northeast Quadrant
In this map, the Grandview district is clearly shown with a maximum going-forward height of 4
stories. According to the box in the lower left corner, the lesser number is a Podium Height, so
Grandview was shown with a podium height of 2 stories, and a maximum height of 4 stories.
[CC-5] Text Page 4-29 (PDF79): This is the third page of “Table 4.3: Future Land Use Categories”
Grandview is at the top of the page in the MXC, Mixed-Use Center category. As you can see, the
going-forward building height was represented differently, as a range from 3-6 stories.
In 2017, a redevelopment proposal for the 6-story Avidor senior-living apartments (at the Edina Public
School’s bus garage site) put the discrepancy to the test. A building height limit of 4 stories, as displayed
on the Futures map, would require the City to request a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for height, in
order to permit the 6-story Avidor.
The City did resolve the issue, and the means of resolution can be found in the Staff Report prepared for
the 6-28-2017 Planning Commission Public Hearing, which was subsequently also presented at the 7-18-
2017 City Council Public Hearing. The City gave favor to the 6-story height limit, and requested a
Comprehensive Plan Amendment only for the matter of housing unit density.
[CC-6] 6-28-2017 Staff Report 1 of 2, Page 4, narrative under the paragraph heading “Height”.
Quote: “The proposed height is 6-stories, which is allowed in the Comprehensive Plan.”
[CC-7] 6-28-2017 Staff Report 1 of 2, Page 22, Altered map from the 2008 Comp Plan: “Figure 4.6A
Future Land Use Plan with Building Heights: Northeast Quadrant”.
R. Castellano, 12-1-2019, Page 3 of 3
As you can see in the above quoted text of the Staff Report, the City resolved the discrepancy in favor of
the 6-story height limit. Furthermore, by comparing the Futures map from the 2008 Comp Plan [CC-4]
and the Futures map as re-interpreted by the City in the Staff Report [CC-7], you can see that, for the
2017 Public Hearings, the City altered the original map in order to display a 6-story height limit at
Grandview instead of 4 stories.

a. for the 6-28-2017 Planning Commission Public Hearing:

The complete 2008 Comp Plan can be accessed at the City’s Comp Plan webpage, via a link under the
heading “Comprehensive Plan Resources”: https://www.edinamn.gov/647/Comprehensive-Plan
I call on the City Council to withhold the 50th & France Small Area Plan, and not submit it to the
Metropolitan Council, until such time as the City of Edina re-affirms the going-forward 4-story building
height limitation policy contained therein, and removes from the SAP any and all false and potentially
misleading statements, and any other language and other forms of representation that are to any extent
in conflict with the existence of and/or specifications of this limitation. Thank you.

Roberta Castellano

50th & France Building Height
Other than recommending that the four story height limit in the zoning code should remain in place, this
Small Area Plan does not prescribe building height requirements for the study area. At the same time it
is recognized that some developers will wish to exceed the existing height limit. In response to these
requests, this plan proposes that the City should not consider proposals by developers that exceed the
height limits unless they demonstrate a willingness and ability to:
1)Implement private realm improvements. which, without limitation. will be implemented on private
property and will necessarily include energy efficient buildings of superior construction and aesthetic
quality and may also include other features that assist the city in the realization of its economic,
environmental, transportation, and social goals; and
2)Assist the City with the cost of implementing public realm improvements that will ensure that the
development project achieves goals outlined in the 50th & France Vision Statement and the 50th &
France Guiding Principles. (See pages 8 through 15 of this plan document.)
Any development that would exceed the zoning limit would need to meet several requirements. including
being of particularly high quality, because 50th & France is one of Edina's premier districts and any
building that exceeds the standard height limits would become a signature building in the district,
necessitating that it be a structure than increases the public perception of 50th & France.
Also, the developer of such a building would need to make contributions to Edina's public realm that
would be determined by the City management at the time a project is proposed, but examples (which are
not intended to be a preference) may include parks, public gathering areas, affordable housing, utility
improvements (such as co-locating, mapping and burying utilities). and improved sidewalks. The project
would also need to go through a public process, allowing feedback from Edina's elected officials, Planning
Commission, and residents.
Meeting environment goals could also be a particular focus for future developments. These goals could
include constructing developments with limited or zero emissions and assisting the City with improving
stormwater management in the district. Separately, the City should explore ways to implement
centralized stormwater management.
Related to existing zoning regulations. it is
recommended that the City should develop step
back requirements for new buildings that exceed
two stories, in order to ensure that any new
developments are scaled appropriately so as to allow
full sunlight to reach the street level and not
negatively impact the pedestrian experience and
residences in adjacent neighborhoods.
Conceptual illustration of building stepbacks, which allow
buildings to be taller without impacting pedestrians and
adjacent residential uses.

Building/Building Material
The building materials would be a variety combination of stone, brick, stucco, metal panel and
glass. (See materials renderings on pages A55-A58.) The applicant will have a materials board
for the Planning Commission to review at the Planning Commission meeting.
Sustainable Design .
The project would be enrolled in the Xcel Energy EDA (Energy Design Assistance) program to
research and select building materials and systems that have low energy consumption
characteristics and high life-cycle value. The building would be designed to incorporate
assemblies that ensure the highest quality acoustical and energy performance (wall and floor
assemblies). Construction phase sustainable practices would include construction waste
management and recycling. Finally, this project will incorporate energy-efficient appliances, low-
flow water fixtures, low-VOC paints and building-wide recycling practices. (See sustainability
questionnaire on pages A 14-A 15.)
Mechanical Equipment
No mechanical equipment has been shown on the plans. Any rooftop and/or ground level
equipment would have to be screened if visible from adjacent property lines. Final Plans must
include location of mechanical equipment and the means of screening. No ground level
mechanical equipment shall be located within the front yard of the development.
Signage
The signage allowed on the site would correspond to the use, which would be housing. This
would be written into the PUD.
Height
The proposed height is 6-stories, which is allowed in the Comprehensive Plan. The zoning
requirement for the site is 4 stories. At Sketch Plan review, the Planning Commission and City
Council raised some concern in regard to the height of the residential condominium. The
applicant has addressed that concern by stepping the upper levels in from Eden Avenue, and
moved in a portion of the east and west sides to break up the mass. (See pages A56a-A59.)

Janovy correspondence 12-2-19.pdf 34KB
December 2, 2019
Dear Edina City Council:
In early November, I co-signed a letter to the editor that was published in the Star Tribune.
The letter included this paragraph:
At an Edina City Council retreat this past summer, the City Council identified Edina
residents as a threat to their “livable city” strategy. You read that right—a threat to
the Edina council’s plans are the residents they represent (emphasis added).
In a lengthy reaction to the letter at the November 6, 2019 City Council meeting, Council
member Fischer did not dispute that opposition to density/affordable housing is a threat to
the city’s Livable Cities goal. He said: “When you talk about livable cities and we’re talking
about housing for all, clearly a threat to that goal would be people that don’t want housing
for all or affordable housing.”
But then he said: “There’s nothing about our citizens or, you know, the folks in Edina being
a threat to the Council or anyone else.”
What? There is nothing in the letter I co-signed that said or could be interpreted to say that
Edina residents are a threat to the Council or anyone else. The letter says clearly “a threat
to their ‘livable city’ strategy” and “a threat to the Edina council’s plans.” Plans and
strategies are not people.
Had Member Fischer misread it? Was he not thinking clearly? (He did say he was “really
distracted” that night.) Or had he read it correctly but chose to mislead listeners about what
it said?
Member Fischer then went on to chide the letter co-signers about ethics. Let’s remember
that members Fischer and Staunton have said Edina doesn’t need an ethics policy. It has
been eight months since the council retreat, at which an ethics policy was discussed—more
than enough time to adopt an ethics policy and code of conduct for the city council.
After Member Fischer concluded, Member Staunton said, “Good on you, Mike Fischer.
Couldn’t agree more and I think people ought to take down the names of the folks who
were authoring that letter and note that when they speak in the future you need to check
the facts.”
Take down the names? As a common phrase, we know what “take down names” means.
As for checking “the facts,” that is fine with me. I only ask that members Fischer and
Staunton interpret them accurately and engage directly about any disagreement. Don’t go
off, as Member Fischer did, on camera about something that wasn’t said.
Members Fischer and Staunton have had over three weeks to apologize for their comments
and conduct. I take the fact that they have not as an indication they believe they have done
nothing wrong.
To be clear, they did do something wrong. Citizens have a right to express their views
about city government, including in letters to the editor. They have a right to speak out, in
print, person, social media or other forums. Elected officials who use public meeting time
and resources to grumble about residents and condemn their speech are wrong. Elected
officials who also distort what residents have actually said, thereby damaging reputations
and misleading the public, are wrong.
The use of public meeting time, resources or public position to condemn residents for their
speech is a serious issue. Misrepresenting that speech adds to the seriousness. This quote
from Justice Stephen Breyer sums up why:
Whenever government disfavors one kind of speech, it places that speech at a
disadvantage, potentially interfering with the free marketplace of ideas and with an
individual’s ability to express thoughts and ideas that can help the individual
determine the kind of society in which he wishes to live, help shape the society, and
help define his place in it.
If there are any questions about members Fischer’s and Staunton’s statements, a
professional transcript is attached.
Member Brindle and Member Anderson, it may be up to you to take the lead on this, to
stand up for residents’ right to speak out about their local government without the risk of
retribution from the dais or in some other public form. Please bring forward a strong city
council ethics policy and code of conduct that champions free speech and see that it is
adopted without delay.
Thank you.

Fischer and Staunton comments, November 6, 2019 Edina City Council meeting
(Transcribed from video recording 11/20/2019)
Hovland: Okay. And Mayor and Council comments, council comments, Member Fisher.
Fischer: Jennifer, could you bring up the slides? So, what I want to talk about is something that
just came up today and it’s actually caused me to be really distracted tonight. I feel like I haven’t
maybe engaged the way I sometimes do, ‘cause it’s just very troubling to me. And this goes
back to a letter that our mayor wrote in the Star Tribune on October 31. I have to tell you I read
that letter and I was very proud of you as a leader in our community because I feel like at a very
contentious time, a lot of stress in our community over this school board election, I felt like you
found sort of a middle ground. You didn’t -- I don’t think you tried to pick candidates on one
side or the other, but you really tried to send a message, which is a leadership message about
how we talk about our community, in this case it was about the school district. But in your last
paragraph, I’m going to quote you. You said the attempt by some in our community to mislead
voters with ill-founded fears and distorted facts should not be the new standard. And I think
that’s an important message. And you know we -- we get a lot of information sent to us quite
often and -- and I’ve oftentimes commented that well that seems to be, you know, there seems to
be misinformation, which is a term I use a lot, but some folks took exception to the Mayor’s
letter, and there was a letter in the paper today and I just want to highlight the part in red where it
references a retreat that the City Council had this past summer where we identified Edina
residents as a threat to our livable city strategy and then it repeats it, yes a threat, that’s what we
said. And it’s actually exactly what the mayor was talking about. It’s a distortion of something
that happened and it’s a very careful well thought out use of words to send a message to get a
reaction to achieve a certain goal and that’s really troubling to me. Could you go to the next
slide? So, our retreat that this refers to was in March. It was two days where this Council and
our staff met and we had a consultant helping facilitate, and it’s basically a budget planning
session. And we talked about four key goals that we aligned a budget around. One, so first is
strong foundation, which is maintaining physical assets and infrastructure. Two [6:42] of
service, which is maintaining service levels that best meet community needs. Three, livable city,
which is a [6:53] for connected and sustainable development and that’s what we will talk about a
little bit because that’s the one that was being referenced in particular. But the fourth one is
better together, fostering an inclusive and engaged community. These are the four pillars that we
try to set our budget around. We don’t just randomly do a budget. We’re trying to achieve goals
for our community. So, these four particular people that signed this letter and very intentionally
wrote these words, we’re referring to one part of our retreat which is the focus on livable cities.
So, I just wanted people to see what livable city -- what that goal is about and it is a plan for
connected and sustainable development. And if you go to the next slide, we do what we call the
SWOT analysis which is strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Anyone that’s taken a
single business class, actually anyone that’s gone through high school should know what a
SWOT analysis is. So, when you use the word threat in the context that they did, completely out
of context, that’s a very intentional act and it’s exactly what the mayor was talking about. So, if
you go to the next slide, this is a -- and by the way, this is all part of a 13-page document which
our staff did a -- I don’t know if it was staff or a consultant or both, documented sort of the
discussion that was happening in the retreat. If you look in the lower quadrant under threats, we
talked about economy. Now threats to livable city, which again is this -- I talked about what the
definition of that is, we talked about economy, perception that the city is driving development
2
versus regulating development, and then opposition to density and affordable housing. When
you talk about livable cities and we’re talking about housing for all, clearly a threat to that goal
would be people that don’t want housing for all or affordable housing. There’s nothing about
our citizens or you know the folks in Edina being a threat to the Council or anyone else. You
have to have these things in context. And I guess I can’t tell people how to feel about this, but
what I would ask is that rather than what seems to be the pattern is somebody throws some --
they lob something out there and the reaction on social media is immediate take an opinion, take
a stand, and doggone it, what’s wrong with those people. Hey, if you don’t like something I do, I
want -- that’s okay, but base it on what I really said. Base it on what I really did. These are
really hardworking people up here. And they’re working really hard for the betterment of this
community. And you know it’s just where we’re going in this country and I’m seeing it in our
town is just not a good place. You know, just give people the benefit of the doubt that maybe
whether they’re running for school board or they’re on a city council or they’re on our
commissions that they -- they’re residents, they live here and they’re trying to make the
community better. It’s that simple, right. And what I would ask everyone to do is read all 13
pages of this document and it really will give you actually some context about the full
discussion, not one word that you pull out and lob out there in the Star Tribune. And you’ll see a
lot in there about ethics. And I would suggest the same people that are writing the stuff in the
Star Tribune are challenging us, you need an ethics policy. You know what, I think everybody
should be ethical in their communication and what they’re doing. I think that would be great for
our town. I also want to point out something. On the far-right quadrant, under threats, well
that’s for better together, that’s how we worked together as a community. One of the threats that
we talked about, misinformation and communication fatigue. I’m tired of the stuff I see every
day in my email because people are reacting to false information. I’ve actually been chewed out
by folks on Next Door because I’ve used the term misinformation, that that’s insulting, they’re
not misinformed. What’s my other alternative? To say it’s a lie? I guess I could be more
straightforward and just say it’s not misinformation, it’s deliberate. National and partisan
divides creeping into local issues, that’s exactly again what the mayor was talking about. We
can do better and we should do better. And I don’t want in any way to think that I don’t want to
take criticism. If I’m doing something wrong, if I’m -- if you don’t like something I voted on, by
all means, I should be subject to criticism, to second guess -- whatever, that’s what we’re here
for, right. That’s part of our job. But let’s be ethical, let’s be truthful, let’s put the context in to
things and I think we’ll be in a much better place. Thank you.
Thank you. Member Stauton. Thank you, Member Fisher.
Staunton: Good on you, Mike Fisher. Couldn’t agree more and I think people ought to take
down the names of the folks who were authoring that letter and note that when they speak in the
future you need to check the facts. So, on a different note, I wanted to talk about an election we
had in our town last night and congratulate the three winners of the school board election race.
But I also wanted to thank all seven people who decided to run. Those of us who sit up here on
this dais know what it’s like to run for office, know what a sacrifice it is for you and your family
and all to make your community better. And I think all seven of those folks were interested in
making their community better, felt strongly enough about it that they were willing to run for
office, spent the time and energy and just aggravation to try to do that and I want to applaud all
seven folks who chose to make that sacrifice. And then I’d like to also specifically recognize
Sarah Patzloff and Amir Gharbi. Amir served for the last four years on the school board and
3
chose not to run for reelection and Sarah has served for eight years and will finish her service up
at the end of the year. And again, those are people who made a great sacrifice individually and
for their families in order to make our community a better place. And whether you agree with
what they’ve done or not, whether you agree with what the folks who were elected last night
have done or not, all of these are folks who are really putting it on the line to make their
community a better place and I think they deserve the credit and the gratitude from all of us in
the community. So, I wanted Mr. Mayor to take the time tonight to make sure and thank all
those folks.
