PLAN OVERVIEWPLAN OVERVIEW
Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 5 PLAN OVERVIEWPURPOSE OF PLAN
The purpose of this plan is to chart a course for the continued
evolution of the Cahill District in Edina. This area was developed
over 50 years ago. It is now aging, becoming partially obsolete, and in
need of new direction so that it can continue to prosper and live up
to its potential. Residents, property owners, businesses, community
leaders, developers, and others see visions of what this area can
become. With the right alignment of policy, resources, and will, nearly
anything is possible.
At the same time, there is a great deal of embodied value in existing
uses within the area that should not be lost in the transition.
Particular to the nature of urban industrial districts, it is also a scare
resource, which could well be lost forever if it is transitioned. Also,
the cost of progress is not free, and newer development visions need
to be evaluated against both the benefits and impacts to the Edina
community – especially the immediate surrounding area.
The tension between past and future in this district has played out
over the course of the study. Conversations moved fluidly from high
design concepts for transformational development, to deep concerns
about whether the city’s infrastructure and institutions could handle
what they will bring. The result is a plan that attempts to strike a
balance between maintaining the value of what is already here, and
allowing for evolution to what is next. This section briefly describes
the path to this point, and charts the course forward.
Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 6 PLAN OVERVIEWTHE FUTURE
The City of Edina already has a track record of innovation in
redevelopment. For instance, Southdale Mall and Centennial Lakes
broke ground in terms of new models for commercial development.
Unsurprisingly, there are high aspirations for what is possible in the
Cahill district as well. Several ideas have been proposed over the
years, including ambitious plans for full redevelopment of the area.
Ideas include more attractive and connected public spaces, high value
redevelopment that grows the tax base, more focus on community-
serving uses, increased sustainability and resilience in the built
environment, and innovation in the evolving nature of workplaces.
This story is somewhat similar in urban industrial districts in cities
nationwide. Older models for how industrial and office parks were
developed are becoming obsolete. At the same time, the great
location of many of these sites makes them attractive to many other
users, as well as ripe for redevelopment. City leaders are faced with
a choice: try to maintain the essential functions that these districts
have provided for decades, or allow them to transition to something
new. This isn’t an easy or simple choice.
However, given the size of the district, there is an option to allow
for multiple futures, by envisioning this as a series of connected
subdistricts. Likewise, there is an opportunity to further multiple
city goals in alignment with the high standards Edina sets for itself –
around innovation, sustainability, education, livability, and prosperity.
THE PRESENT
Since its original development, the district has remained an
employment center for the city and the region. Today, it is home to
over 200 businesses and 4,000 employees. However, the building
stock is aging, and renovations and upgrades have been limited.
As properties in the district become less competitive for some
tenants, others have moved to take their place, changing the business
composition and character of the area. Increasingly, the district has
seemed underutilized, especially given its premium location.
Due to the transitional nature of this area, for the last 15+ years,
the City has designated it as an area of change in its comprehensive
plans. This reflects the need for more in-depth study of the area to
determine its future directions. It also suggests that this is one of
the key areas of the city where it has the potential to accommodate
future planned growth in terms of jobs and/or households.
As part of the effort associated with the most recent comprehensive
plan update, the City completed a plan for the 70th & Cahill
Neighborhood Node in January 2019. One outcome of that plan
was identifying the need to further study the entire Cahill industrial
area as a potential area of change. The City has also received several
redevelopment proposals within the district. However, development
options at present are limited by both policy and infrastructure
constraints. Recent analysis shows that a major investment in public
infrastructure (both sewer and stormwater) will be needed to
accommodate future growth here.
THE PAST
The Cahill Industrial District was deliberately and purposefully
built. Back in the early 1960s, Edina had no industrial district – or
even industrial zoning to allow for it to happen. Meanwhile, with
the construction of the interstate system and the development
of industrial in nearby communities, city leaders were concerned
they would miss out on significant economic gains if Edina was not
able to accommodate such uses. The location was chosen based on
proximity to the interstate as well as a determination that the soft
soils of this former wetlands area are less suitable for residential.
The city took a year to conduct a study and come up with a plan
for industrial zoning. This resulted in the subsequent development
of office/industrial uses along the I-494 corridor. The development
of the Cahill industrial area began with the purchase of a former
farm/wetlands site by Antonio Bernardi’s Metro US Corp in 1963,
followed by rapid expansion in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In the
initial build-out, major tenants included General Motors, Control
Data, General Electric, DuPont, and others.
When the Cahill industrial area developed, it was carefully designed
to be separated from surrounding uses, to overcome concerns about
locating industrial close to single family residential. This included a
disconnected roadway system, planted screening along Normandale
Rd (now Highway 100), and buffering uses on all three Edina sides:
multifamily to the north and west, and office uses to the east.
Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 7 PLAN OVERVIEWMile Creek Watershed District, Metro Transit, Three Rivers Park
District, Edina Public Schools District, and various others.
At the third and final public workshop, the focus was on converging
around a preferred development alternative, to form the basis for
the plan’s recommendations. Attendees provided feedback on a
series of development scenarios, as well as their priorities for how
success in the district should be measured. While input was broad,
a significant proportion voiced support for a more jobs-focused
scenario, as well as a desire to ensure community impacts were fully
accounted for. The primary outcome of this workshop was the to
provide the working group input to inform the selection of a jobs-
focused alternative and to refine the impact analysis.
[INSERT RESULTS FROM PLANNING COMMISSION/COUNCIL
REVIEW WHEN AVAILABLE]
THE PROCESS
The direction for the Cahill district plan is rooted in a commitment
to listen to the community, both in general and in terms of the
stakeholders most impacted. Consequently, the planning process was
initiated in November 2021 with the first of three public workshops.
Attendees engaged in discussion about both existing conditions
and their visions for what the area can be. Input included big ideas
around being a national model for regenerating a community, with
ideas related to sustainability goals, promoting innovation, and
incorporating family-friendly features. The primary outcome of this
workshop was the formation of goals and principles to guide the
plan’s development.
Around this time a representative working group of 12 members,
including two co-chairing planning commissioners, was convened to
guide the planning process, provide feedback on draft plan content,
and advise on community engagement. By Spring 2022, the City had
retained a consultant team to provide support. This group met 13
times during the planning process, up until the completion of a draft
to be forwarded to planning commission for review.
After the initial visioning workshop and exploration of existing
conditions and goals with the working group, the City held a
second public workshop. Attendees worked through exercises to
determine both the important functions of the district and what
mix of use and activities belong there. The result included ideas
for mixed use development scenarios including spaces for working,
living, and recreating. The primary outcome of this workshop was
the formation of a series of development scenarios for analysis and
consideration.
In addition to general public input, consultant and City staff
conducted targeted outreach to both businesses and property
owners within the district, as well as potential developers who have
an interest in developing in the district. They provided feedback on
their current and future plans, as well as what development would
be market feasible. The primary outcome of this outreach was to
provide the working group input to refine scenarios and future land
uses based on market considerations.
Alongside the public process, consultant and City staff provided
support on analysis of existing and future considerations. This
included exploration of constraints, needs, and opportunities for land
use, infrastructure, and public realm. This included review of prior
studies and consultation with outside agencies, including the Nine
PRINCIPLES, GOALS, AND ASPIRATIONS
Through the plan formation process, three primary principles were
defined as desired outcomes for the development of the area.
(See table on following page for description.) For each of these,
there are a series of more specific goals. The concept development
and recommendations forwarded through this process have been
designed to advance these goals. They represent achievable outcomes
that can be promoted through planned improvements in the district.
While they are not guaranteed, the plan can map out a course to get
there.
But those involved in the plan’s development had higher aims than
this. Over and above these goals are a series of related aspirations.
These are much less certain, as they envision something beyond an
incremental step forward – but rather a leap towards something new
and innovative. The implementers are mostly likely not yet fully at the
table, resources are still to be identified, and some ideas still need
to be further developed. Regardless, the intent is to set the stage for
ambitious ideas to advance, as time and opportunity allow.

DISTRICT PROFILEDISTRICT PROFILE
Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 10 DISTRICT PROFILEEQUITY CONSIDERATIONS
POPULATION
The City of Edina is continually adapting its plans and policies to
meet the needs and aspirations of a changing community. Diverse
communities continue to grow and thrive in Edina, deepening
the City’s resolve toward creating equitable opportunities for all
resident. Taken from the decennial Censuses from 1980 to 2020,
the data points below show the changes in the composition of each
racial and ethnic group to the overall population of Edina. At the time
of the 2020 Census, 20.40% of Edina’s 53,494 residents self-identified
as Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC).
In Edina, 13.0% of residents speak another other than English at
home and 10.4% of residents were born outside the United States.
It’s estimated that 9.0% of the population has a disability (ACS 5-Year
Estimates, 2016-2020). As noted previously, the population residing
within the boundaries of the Cahill District study area is quite small.
However, portions of the District have substantial potential to
redevelop as a thriving mixed-use hub.
EQUITY
The City of Edina has long been recognized an exceptional place to
live. At the same time, the City also acknowledges that not all of its
residents, students, and visitors experience Edina in the same way.
To this end, the City government and resident leaders have been
actively working to address these inequities for more than 50 years
through policies and programs. These include the establishment
of the City’s Human Rights and Relations Commission in 1970;
passing a resolution to become a Human Rights City in 2016 with
a commitment to “reducing discrimination, inequality, racism, and
xenophobia in all aspects of civic life…”; and joining the Government
Alliance on Race and Equity in 2017. Ongoing discrimination and
inequities experienced by residents called the City to establish the
Edina Race & Equity Task Force in 2016 which investigated “the scope
of race-based discrimination and feelings of being unwelcome.”
Edina continues to address inequities throughout its communities.
The Cahill District Area plan will uplift these policies to ensure
that residents of all identities can fully enjoy the resources and
experiences the district has to offer, now and into the future.
CITYWIDE & DISTRICT SUMMARY
The City of Edina has long been regarded as a premier community
in Minnesota for individuals and families to live, learn, and work.
The Cahill District of Edina is one of the most dynamic locations
in the entire city. This 380-acre, mixed-use area is home to a
variety of industries, warehouses, recreational facilities, schools,
religious institutions and multi-family dwellings. The Cahill District is
bounded by West 70th Street to the north, Cahill Road to the west,
Highway 100 to the east, and the municipal boundary to the City of
Bloomington directly south.
Despite its size, Cahill District is home to about 400 of Edina’s
over 53,000 residents at this time. The vision for this strategic area
will leverage mixed-use development patterns to provide more
opportunities to develop housing. Therefore, the plan must consider
the people who will live and work in the district

Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 11 DISTRICT PROFILESOCIOECONOMICS
The frameworks and alternatives presented in the Cahill District
Plan should also be informed by the socioeconomic situations of
residents across the spectrum of household incomes and wealth
in Edina. Household income data from the 2017-2021 ACS 5-Year
Estimates for the City of Edina, the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area,
and the State of Minnesota are provided below.
HEALTH
Generally speaking, Edina residents experience more positive health
outcomes than the national average. In addition to human behavior,
individual health and public health are both deeply influenced by the
built and natural environments. While public health experts and their
partners provide their expertise and resources to the residents of
Edina, the City can also strategically leverage the built and natural
environments through thoughtful, interdisciplinary planning efforts to
promote positive health outcomes. This is illustrated in the concept
known has the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH).
SDOH are the conditions in the environments where people are
born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range
of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks.
SDOH have a major impact on people’s health, well-being, and quality
of life. Examples of include:
• Safe housing, transportation, and neighborhoods
• Racism, discrimination, and violence
• Education, job opportunities, and income
• Access to nutritious foods and physical activity opportunities
• Polluted air and water
• Language and literacy skills
SDOH also contribute to wide health disparities and inequities.
For example, people who don’t have access to grocery stores with
healthy foods are less likely to have good nutrition. That raises
their risk of health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and
obesity — and even lowers life expectancy relative to people who
do have access to healthy foods. Just promoting healthy choices
won’t eliminate these and other health disparities. Instead, public
health organizations and their partners in sectors like education,
transportation, and housing need to take action to improve the
conditions in people’s environments.

Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 12 DISTRICT PROFILELAND USE AND BUILT FORM
POLICY & REGULATION
City Staff, Planning Commission, and Council must work to ensure
harmony between the individual Cahill District Plan, the zoning code
and map, and the comprehensive plan during the implementation of
any guidelines, policies, or actions prescribed in this plan.
EXISTING LAND USE
The majority of the Cahill district is zoned for, and used as, Planned
Industrial Development (PID), which encompasses light industrial and
manufacturing uses. Iterations of Planned Commercial Development
(PCD) along the District’s eastern edge along Hwy 100, leveraging
the relative ease of access to Hwy 100 via 70th St and 77th St.,
and I-494 via Planned Residential Development (PRD) anchors the
District’s north east and west corners, and is the only residential in
the District.
FUTURE LAND USE
The 2040 Future Land Use map largely guides the Cahill district
to maintain its current uses, preserving its industrial & office
foundation. City staff have noted that the 2040 Comprehensive
Plan and associated efforts intentionally did not heavily consider
changes to the area, until a new study could better assess the future
of the district – a key outcome of this district area plan. An update
to the city comprehensive plan may be necessary to align study
recommendations with official city maps and documents.
ZONING
The development of land in the City of Edina is principally guided
by the Comprehensive Plan. While the comprehensive plan sets the
policy framework informed by community vision and aspirations, the
zoning code is the legal, administrative tool the City uses to regulate
development. The predominant zoning in the Cahill District is
Planned Industrial with Planned Residence and Commercial districts
around the 70th and Cahill Rd Neighborhood Node, and Office and
Commercial Districts along Hwy 100.

Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 13 DISTRICT PROFILEPROPERTY VALUES AND TAX CAPACITY
The Cahill District is a principal property tax
generator for the City. The table below presents
a snapshot of key metrics to understand the tax
capacity of the District under current conditions.
BUILDING CONDITION
The Cahill District saw widespread development
between 1960 and 1979; about two-thirds of the
existing buildings were constructed during that
period. The remaining third of the district has been
developed sporadically over the following four
decades.
Despite their age, three-quarters of all the
properties in the Cahill District are classified as
“Good” by the Hennepin County Assessor’s office
in the last tax year. Four were considered to be in
“Excellent” condition.
BUILDING HEIGHT MAXIMUMS
Structure heights throughout the Cahill District
are subject to Overlay Districts in the zoning code
(as well as regulation imposed by the primary
zoning district). The industrial areas in the district
have a standard height maximum of four (4)
stories or 48 feet (whichever is less) under the
HOD-4 overlay. The Neighborhood Node at 70th
Street and Cahill Road has a height maximum of
two (2) stories or 24 feet and the planned office
districts on the eastern edge of Cahill have a
maximum height of 8 stories or 96 feet.
PUBLIC AND SEMI-PUBLIC PROPERTIES
Approximately 40 acres of the Cahill District are
owned by the City of Edina. The most significant of
these is the Public Works building on the corner of
74th St and Metro Blvd. The District also hosts a US
Post office on the corner of Dewey Hill Rd and Bush
Lake Rd. Other semi-public uses include houses of
worship, a bus garage, and a power station.
The remainder of the public parcels shown here
are undeveloped and may currently function as
stormwater ponding areas or trail easements.

Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 14 DISTRICT PROFILELOCAL STREETS
Other streets serving the District are under City of Edina
jurisdiction. The City’s streets with regional significance are West
70th Street, Cahill Road between Dewey Hill Road and West 78th
Street, Dewey Hill Road, and West 78th Street. West 70th Street,
Cahill Road, and Dewey Hill Road are functionally classified as Major
Collectors. West 78th Street is classified as an “A” Minor Arterial
Reliever. Other streets and street segments serving the District have
local significance. These are:
• Minor Collector: Cahill Road between 70th Street and Dewey
Hill Road and Metro Boulevard between 70th Street and Edina
Industrial Boulevard.
• Local Connector: 72nd Street, Ohms Lane, Bush Lake Road, and
74th Street.
As collectors and connectors, these streets function to gather and
distribute traffic. Thus they are mid- and lower- level facilities that
gather traffic from local streets and deliver it to larger, regional
roads. In reverse, they gather traffic from the larger, regional roads
and deliver it to the local streets.

REGIONAL ROADWAYS
Although outside the study area, I-494 and TH 100 are two,
immediately adjacent regional roadways that directly contribute
to the movement of people and goods to and from the District.
Both are functionally classified as Principal Arterials and, along
with TH 62 to the north and US Highway (US Hwy) 169 to the
west, provide access between the Cahill District, the region, and
points beyond. These regional routes heavily influence the District’s
regional position as one of the most important “industry clusters”
in the metropolitan area. Because of its proximity to and ease of
access to/from the regional routes, the District is a prime location
for businesses desiring to attract talent from across the region and
for receiving industrial inputs and product shipping. The regional
routes, identified as such in the Metropolitan Council’s Metropolitan
Highway Plan and the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan, are under
the jurisdiction of the Minnesota Department of Transportation
(MnDOT).
TRANSPORTATION
ROADWAY NETWORK OVERVIEW
The Cahill District is bordered by West 70th Street to the north,
Minnesota Trunk Highway (TH) 100 to the east, West 78th Street
and the Edina border with Bloomington to the south, and Cahill
Road to the west. Within this area are roadways and streets, transit
routes, bicycle paths, and sidewalks and trails; all important facilities
that accommodate travel for a variety of transportation modes.
This section of the Cahill District plan describes each of these
transportation facilities and how each contributes to movement to/
from, within, and through the District.BUSH LAKE RDBUSH LAKE RDOHMS LNOHMS LNMETRO BLVDMETRO BLVD70TH ST70TH ST

Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 15 DISTRICT PROFILEMUNICIPAL STATE AID STREETS
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 purpose of this funding 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. Edina’s current MSA network within the Cahill District is
shown below and includes West 70th Street, Cahill Road, Dewey Hill
Road, West 78th Street, and Metro Boulevard.
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, 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. The MSA network is reviewed
every year and may be revised subject to MnDOT State Aid review
and approval.

DAILY TRAFFIC VOLUMES
Average annual daily traffic (AADT) is a measure used to study
traffic volumes on a specific segment of a roadway. A segment’s
AADT value represents that average number of vehicles that travel
on the segment on a given day. The table below shows a comparison
of daily traffic volumes over time along key streets in the District.
As indicated, daily traffic has positively and negatively fluctuated by
modest amounts between 2009 and 2019. Exceptions are:
• Cahill Road, between Dewey Hill Road and West 78th Street
with a 67 percent increase between 2015 and 2019
• Metro Boulevard, between West 70th Street and West 74th
Street; a 55 percent increase between 2016 and 2019
• Industrial Boulevard with a 100 percent increase between 2015
and 2019
The development of pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular infrastructure
in the Cahill District should consider the potential increase or
decrease in traffic volumes as part of feasibility studies for the
proposed improvement at hand.
FREIGHT
The railroad right-of-way that runs north and south through the
District is owned by the Canadian Pacific (CP) Railroad. It leases
the track to the Twin Cities and Western (TC&W) Railroad, which
operates freight trains twice each day; one northbound train and
one southbound train. There have been discussions in the past about
the potential to use the railroad right-of-way for fixed-guideway
transit service; either for intercity commuter rail service between
Minneapolis and Northfield for an intracity transit circulator. These
discussions are not taking place at this time, whereas:
• In 2002, the MN legislature adopted the Dan Patch “gag rule”
(Laws of Minnesota 2002, chapter 393, section 85), which
prohibits the Met Council, MnDOT, and regional rail authorities
from taking any action or spending any money for study,
planning, preliminary engineering, final design or construction
of the Dan Patch commuter rail line. The 2010 (and draft
2015) Statewide Rail Plan identifies the Dan Patch corridor for
intercity passenger rail within 20 years.
• After conducting a study of the corridor’s potential in Edina,
the Edina City Council voted to discontinue any study of
passenger rail service along this railroad right- of-way in 2017.
However, legislation was introduced in both the Minnesota Senate
and House of Representatives to repeal the moratorium in January
2023. These bills are still being debated as of May 2023.
Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 16 DISTRICT PROFILEPEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE INFRASTRUCTURE
PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES
Pedestrian facilities are present only on a few street segments in the
Cahill District, as shown on in the map to the right. Generally, the
District’s transportation infrastructure consists of roads, streets, and
parking lots. Public sidewalks have typically been constructed on only
one side of some of the streets in the District, if at all. These include
facilities on the west side Cahill Road, the south side of West 74th
Street, and the west side of Metro Boulevard south of West 74th
Street. In addition to the sidewalks themselves, unsafe crosswalks at
intersections also create significant gaps in the pedestrian network.
As part of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and subsequent Capital
Improvement Planning efforts, improvements and extensions to
pedestrian facilities are proposed to and through the Cahill District.
The map on the far right shows these proposed facilities.
BICYCLE FACILITIES
The Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail, an existing pedestrian and bicycle
facility, routes along the northern edge and northeast corner of
the District. Before crossing the District, it runs several feet below
grade on the north side of West 70th Street and north of existing
multi-family buildings. It crosses under West 70th Street in a tunnel
and daylights in the northwest corner of the District on City-owned
property near Amundson Avenue.
Recently, the Three Rivers Regional Park District identified a preferred
alignment for a new trail that will run through the District (shown in
the image on the far right). The Canadian Pacific Rail Regional Trail (CP
Trail) will traverse six Hennepin County cities, including Edina. This
segment of the route will link the existing Nine Mile Creek Regional
trail to the Hyland Park Reserve in Bloomington with an alignment
along Cahill Road, Dewey Hill Road, Bush Lake Road/Industrial
Boulevard, West 78th Street, and East Bush Lake Road. Funding for the
CP Regional Trail is yet to be fully acquired.
In addition to these two regional trails, the District has a number
of other bicycle facilities. On-street bike lanes are present on Cahill
Road, West 70th Street, Ohms Lane and West 72nd Street. Bikeable
shoulders are also present on Edina Industrial Boulevard and Metro
Boulevard.The on-street northbound and southbound bike paths on
Cahill Road are striped and identified as bicycle routes. The others that
serve the District are not striped and operate on a “share the road”
basis.

Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 17 DISTRICT PROFILETRANSIT NETWORK
Transit routes currently serving the District are provided by Metro
Transit and, as shown to the right, include:
• All-Day Local Route 6 – All-Day Locals serve all stops and
operate throughout the day but may offer less frequent service
• Frequent Local Route 540 -- Frequent Locals serve all stops
and operate at least every 30 minutes during middays on
weekdays and more frequently during rush hours. Evening and
weekend service may be less frequent.
• Planned Rush-Hour Route 542 – Service is primarily provided
during rush hours. (Monday through Friday 6 to 9 AM and 3 to
6:30 PM.)
Route 6 is a regular route that runs along West 74th Street and
Cahill Road and stops at bus stops adjacent to the study area. Route
540 is a regular route that picks up and drops off passengers at the
intersection of Bush Lake Road and West 78th Street. Route 542 is
currently suspended; however, Metro Transit plans to recommence
service of the route along East Bush Lake Road and West 78th
Street.
Through field observations it was noted that none of the bus stops
on Cahill Road have bus shelters. It was further noted that the
locations for the bus stops are inferior and lack sensitivity for the
needs of passengers, who are, in fact, pedestrians. The bus stops were
located along narrow sidewalks, grassy slopes, and within the splash
distance of the curbs. Metro Transit implemented changes to its
service plan in response to the COVID pandemic. The most dramatic
change was the elimination of express routes, including Route 589,
which ran along TH 100 and picked up/dropped off passengers at the
Benton Avenue/TH 100 interchange. Prior to the pandemic, Route
578, a local route, operated on West 70th Street. Route 542 was
introduced to the District during the pandemic.

METRO TRANSIT ROUTES IN CAHILL ROUTE 540 ON METRO BOULEVARD
Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 18 DISTRICT PROFILETRANSPORTATION ISSUES
As future land uses are developed for the District, a multimodal
transportation system that provides for three categories of
movement should be designed:
• Movement between the District and the region,
• Movement between the District and adjacent neighborhoods, and
• Movement within the District.
Realizing this vision of a multi-modal system will open the District
to new workers, customers and residents who use walk, bike, roll, or
take transit to their destinations. To do so, the following issues in the
existing network in and around the Cahill District must be addressed.
ROADWAY CAPACITY DEFICIENCIES
The daily traffic volumes are reasonable given the District’s
predominance of employment uses. An assessment of traffic volumes
against the available existing street geometry and configuration of
travel lanes showed that the streets can accommodate existing and
forecasted travel demand. There are two exceptions, however, where
travel demand will surpass the lane capacity of affected streets. It
is forecasted that capacity deficiencies will occur along 70th Street,
between Cahill Road and Metro Boulevard, and Industrial Boulevard/
Bush Lake Road between the city limits and TH 100.
SAFETY AND CRASHES
The unusual geometry of the intersection of Cahill Road and Dewey
Hill Road (the so-called “triangleabout”) is frequently a cause of
accidents and driver confusion. It does not accommodate pedestrians
and cyclists and negatively impacts transit connectivity.
High crash rates have been observed at:
• West 70th Street and Metro Boulevard (0.4 crashes/year)
• Cahill Road and Dewey Hill Road (0.6 crashes/year)
• West 70th Street/Normandale Road/TH 100 (1.3 crashes/year)
• Metro Boulevard/Edina Industrial Boulevard (1.4 crashes/year)
Staff reports receiving a number of complaints about vehicles
exceeding the posted speed limit on West 70th Street. The presence
of on-street bike lanes on West 70th Street prevent the construction
of conventional speed mitigation measures (curb extensions,
chicanes, lane shifts, etc.)
DRIVEWAY ACCESSIBILITY
Industrial Boulevard between Metro Boulevard and TH 100 has
a large number of access driveways and a high rate of reported
crashes.
PARKING ISSUES
On-street parking is highly utilized on West 74th Street and Bush
Lake Road adjacent to the Wooden Hill Brewing Company. The
City receives frequent requests to expand on-street parking in the
area and hears concerns about the impact of on-street parking on
intersection/driveway sight lines and transit access.
TRANSIT
As the economy and social behavior recover from the pandemic,
improved transit service (expanded coverage and increased
frequencies) may be needed. Land use scenarios developed for
consideration should be transit supportive and transit dependent.
Bus stop locations should be improved to ensure a comfortable, safe,
and secure environment for transit passengers. Of particular concern
is the lack of facilities that connect to transit stops on Metro
Boulevard, West 70th Street, Bush Lake Road, and Cahill Road. The
district also lacks transit stop amenities. Shelters, benches, and even
climate control should be considered.
PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE FACILITIES
The West 78th Street Bridge over the railroad right-of-way is a
significant gap in the pedestrian network and bicycle network. Multi-
modal facilities are needed on the bridge as transit riders frequently
complain about having to walk/bike in traffic across the bridge to
access a convenient bus stop.
Sidewalks are needed on both sides of the street that effectively link
destinations within the District.
The safest and most desirable bicycle facilities are separated from
motor vehicle traffic. Opportunities will exist to develop separated,
protected bike lanes in the District.

Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 19 DISTRICT PROFILEECONOMIC CONDITIONS
BUSINESS AND PROPERTY OWNER
ENGAGEMENT FINDINGS
Property owners and businesses operating in the Cahill District
participated in surveys and focus groups to share their essential
perspectives on activities, challenges, and opportunities in the
industrial park. Businesses were grouped into one of two categories
for the focus groups: firms with national/global markets and firms
with local/regional markets. There was additional outreach to
property owners who own multi-tenant properties. In both the
survey and in focus groups, all participants indicated that they expect
the Cahill District will continue to be a competitive location for their
businesses over the next decade. While methods and estimates may
vary, there are believed to be between 4,000 and 7,000 jobs located
within the District.
STRENGTHS AND OPPORTUNITIES OF
THE CAHILL DISTRICT
National/global and local/regional firms largely concur on the most
prominent strengths of the Cahill District for their operations.
Foremost, the District’s centralized location in the metro and
accompanying freeway access are crucial to attract employees and
customers commuting from across the region, and to help meet
transportation needs, whereas heavy duty, all-weather roads are
important for shipping and receiving year-round in the Midwest.
Proximity to air service, frequent transit, and bicycle facilities are also
identified as strengths.
Elsewhere, the Cahill District provides an excellent quality of
work life for employees. Participants indicated that the presence
of childcare, restaurants, retail, and green spaces contribute to
an enjoyable environment. One opportunity identified here is to
leverage the freeway visibility of the district to enhance retail and
dining options along Highway 100. Also, with the shift of workplace
dynamics to allow employees to work from home and conduct
meetings online, parking needs are changing. In response to this
and other factors, the City recently reviewed and revised parking
requirements for uses citywide. Reduced parking requirements may
lead to redevelopment opportunities in the district on unneeded
parking lot areas. The build-out of residential development near
employment areas could strengthen retail and dining outlets.
Participants in engagement activities also concurred that property
owners and tenants in Cahill regularly make significant investments
in maintenance, and interior and exterior improvements which
benefit their businesses and their neighbors as well. One opportunity
for deepened investment would be to leverage solar power in
the District to meet carbon-neutrality goals; another might be to
redesign water ponding areas and Nine Mile Creek with facilities for
communal and recreational use.
WEAKNESSES AND CHALLENGES OF
THE DISTRICT
Still, there are several challenging issues in the Cahill District that
could be alleviated through future planning efforts. Participants
responded that the stormwater management and flooding standards
enforced by the Watershed District limit expansion of their facilities
(issues concerning flooding, stormwater, and sewer systems are
explored further on in this report).
Additionally, many entities originally located to the District for its
industrial zoning. Industries in the district are concerned about the
further development of residential and retail properties adjacent
to industrial sites within the district, whereas retail operations are
already creating challenges for large employers. Included in these
are on-street parking issues, where, currently, the potential legal,
but unexpected overuse of on-street parking by retail customers
is creating problems for industrial employees and deliveries. Noise
complaints and pedestrian-freight vehicle collisions could become
prevalent issues as well.
Already, property owners have identified a need for safer and better
connected sidewalks and crosswalks. Property owners and tenants
have also expressed concern that the conversion of industrial sites
toward more intense office employment with production areas (and
possible residential developments) may increase parking demand, and
demand for other amenities and public facilities in the area, which

Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 20 DISTRICT PROFILEUTILITIES
SEWER CAPACITY
In 2019, the City commissioned a sewer capacity study for locations
in the City including the Cahill District.
For the District, the baseline conditions (standard growth without
redevelopment) and three redevelopment scenarios were evaluated
for impacts on the sewer system capacity. The anticipated increased
capacity needs ranged from 290,000 gallons per day (gpd) to
3,000,000 gpd depending on the scenario.
Anticipated increases from each scenario were then contrasted
against five system improvement options to determine capacities
gained by each option, and associated cost estimates.
Findings from the study indicated that regardless of land use
changes within the Cahill District, enhanced sewer capacity would
be required even if just to address anticipated increase in demand
elsewhere in the sewer system. In that study, Scenario 4 was
concluded best, next-least cost option to continuing with baseline
conditions (Scenario 1). The City anticipates moving forward with
Scenario 4. This Cahill District Plan considers that conclusion
in presenting a preferred alternative for development. Utility
improvements will be based on land use decisions made in this plan
to set the final pipe sizes and needed improvements for 70+ year
life-of-infrastructure needs.
The tables to the right are excerpts from the study which detail
Scenario 4 and the various engineering options available. The City of
Edina’s document library hosts the complete sewer capacity study
document.

Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 21 DISTRICT PROFILESTORMWATER CAPACITY
As a result of the significant presence of flood areas and flood
zones in the District, there is very little capacity for underground
parking or basement levels. Constructing flood-proof structures
could require higher first floor elevations above grade. The City
and property developers will need to partner with the Watershed
District to find solutions for additional space for stormwater
management in the district. Past and present conditions are shown in
the schematics below.
WETLANDS AND FLOODING
The Cahill District is located on the site of a historic wetland. While
most of that wetland has been displaced by impervious surface,
the topography of the area and other natural factors, including the
remaining Nine Mile Creek, continues to cause flooding concerns.
There are significant 10-year (10%) flood areas and 100-year (1%)
flood zones in the district. There should be considered at length
during the next phases of planning in the district.

Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 23 CONFLICTS AND ALTERNATIVESMANAGING CHANGE
The process of change in the Cahill District is inevitable. Businesses
will come and go, buildings will be improved or fall into disrepair,
and the function of the district in the region will continue to shift as
areas around it do as well. The value of a district plan in this context
is to seek a purposeful, guided path forward - one that maximizes
benefits to Edina and supports a resilient District. Supporting this
change however requires multiple considerations.
ROLE OF THE PUBLIC SECTOR
The City’s path forward is necessarily constrained. The City controls
a fairly small amount of land in this large district, with few prospects
for major acquisitions at present. Additionally, the district is already
functioning reasonably well and yielding significant benefit to the city
and property owners. This area therefore is not like Southdale or
Centennial Lakes, where consolidated ownership and largely vacant
lands made it possible to enact broad and sweeping changes.
In the context of this, the City’s role is anticipated to include the
following:
• Updated policy and regulatory direction, providing guidelines
and signaling intent in terms of the City’s vision for the district
• Assessment demand for and capacity of public infrastructure
and services, to ensure it is sufficient to meet needs
• Investment in basic infrastructure, included needed upgrades
to wastewater and other utilities to meet basic standards and
provide additional capacity when directed by policy
• Investment in the public realm consistent with approved plans
and policies, prioritizing publicly owned right of way
• Opportunity-driven coordination, collaboration, and/or
partnership with other public and private entities seeking to
make investments in the district, on a case-by-case basis
• Other specific actions, as outlined in the Implementation
section of this plan
OPPORTUNITY COST OF
REDEVELOPMENT
As the current mix of uses in this area has considerable value to the
City, any redevelopment scenario must consider the opportunity cost
of replacing or significantly modifying existing uses. This is especially
true for industrial uses, given than Edina has no other designated
industrial district like Cahill. If an industrial area is eliminated in favor
of another use, there is a question regarding whether the replacing use
would provide more or less net benefit to the community.
Industrial districts in developed communities often play a subtle
but important support role for the function of other uses. Services
provide back-office support for other Edina businesses. Office spaces
provide professional services for Edina residents, from lawyers to
chiropractors. And others – like batting cages and hockey rinks –
simply can’t find spaces with the size, dimension, and price point
anywhere else in Edina.
While the City is not mandated to accommodate all uses there today,
this reality suggests changes to the District should be made with care.
CAPACITY OF PUBLIC SYSTEMS AND
SERVICES
As the history of the district demonstrates, capacity constraints
are no accident. The selection of former wetlands has constrained
development since day one, and the roadway network was designed
as auto and truck oriented. At the same time, factors like climate
change and variations in regional growth patterns have impacted
these systems in ways that have furthered the constraints and raised
questions about the need for improvement.
It is expected that any redevelopment of the area will involve at least
some intensification of uses. This may add to workers, residents,
customers, visitors, and others in the area, potentially putting pressure
on public services. In addition to added traffic and demand for
utilities, this could equate to additional needs for public parks, schools,
safety, and health services. While any one project cannot be held
responsible for cumulative impacts citywide, public decision makers
will need to take these impacts into account when making decisions
about permitting development and allocating resources to public
infrastructure and services.
BALANCING CONNECTION AND
SEPARATION
The development of the Cahill district will need to strike a balance
between connectivity and separation with the surrounding area.
On the side of connectivity, there is significant opportunity to make
meaningful pedestrian and bicycle connections through the district.
This can provide safer and more intuitive ways to connect to both
current and planned regional trail corridors, leveraging that resource
for transportation and recreational purposes. Improved multimodal
connections can be an important amenity for workers and residents to
provide options within the district.
On the side of separation, it will still be important to provide some
separation between traffic and other users within the district. Routing
trucks so they minimize potential conflicts with pedestrians and
bicyclists will make travel safer and more comfortable for all modes.
Additionally, buffering and separating incompatible uses can reduce
conflicts and mitigate impacts such as light, noise, vibration, and activity
outside during typical hours.
BUILDING SUSTAINABILITY
While sustainability in the District may take many meanings
(environmental, economic, social, etc.), this plan utilizes an understanding
of, “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their own needs.” Some sustainability
implications are briefly noted below.
For environmental sustainability, this can have implications for
management and restoration of natural areas, reducing dependency on
scarce natural resources such as through energy efficiency, and other
offsets via green building and business practices.
For economic sustainability, this can have implications for providing
opportunities for businesses to grow and thrive. It can also relate to
strengthening and growing the City’s tax base as a way to pay for needed
investments in public infrastructure and services and to maintain a more
consistent level of services without significant impacts on residents.
From the perspective of social sustainability, this can have implications
for ensuring the district is keeping pace with the ever-evolving needs
of a changing community. This can include places that provide social
connections and economic sustainability for people.

TWO NODES AND A CORE CONCEPT
HIGH EMPLOYMENT
The High Employment Office area offers modern, well connected office
spaces that elevate the image of the Cahill District, and Edina’s role as
a high-quality employment center in the Twin Cities. These intensive,
medium- and large-scale office spaces provide an additional employment
offering to the adjacent Industrial Core, with sectors oriented towards
tech and innovation, complimentary to the existing entrepreneurial identity
of the District.
NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE
The Neighborhood Mixed Use Activity Center area blends retail, office,
light industrial, and multi-family housing within a cohesive subarea. The
resulting mixed-use neighborhood is a place where residents can live,
work, and play, offering both daytime employment and services, before
turning to evening retail and dining spaces in which to gather and serve as a
destination and amenity for surrounding neighborhoods.
NEIGHBORHOOD NODE
The Neighborhood Node area is the primary destination for locally-serving
businesses that cater to the everyday needs of local Edina residents as well
as multifamily residential. The Neighborhood Node is the place to meet
neighbors for coffee in the morning, to grab lunch with coworkers, or take
your kids to dance studio after work.
INDUSTRIAL CORE
The Industrial Core is comprised of the enterprising essence of the
Cahill District, preserving and celebrating its identity as a district for both
forward-thinking industry and essential support services for the city. Uses
here reflect a similar composition of existing businesses — fabricators and
manufacturing, community and businesses services, office spaces — and
will continue to provide goods and services with local, regional, and global
impacts.
BUSINESS NODE
The Business Node leverages its prime location at the Edina Industrial
Blvd and Hwy 100 interchange to offer a key business-serving commercial
destination, and supportive offices. The area will be hub for retail and
services oriented to businesses and employees in both the Cahill and
Pentagon Park districts.
CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
Concept development of the District was a multi-step process,
centered on an understanding that, at a scale of over 300 acres,
the District can be several things at once. As such, development
scenarios were organized around a series of subdistricts, each with
their own arrangement and connections to surrounding areas.
Anchoring these subdistricts was the concept of “two nodes and a
core”, which originated initially from feedback at the second public
open house. This information was further refined with additional
input from the Work Group, developer roundtables, and land use
best practices.
The Neighborhood Node represents the 70th and Cahill area, and
reflects the general policy guidance of the City’s 2019 70th and
Cahill Small Area Plan.
The other node encompasses retail uses along Edina Industrial
Boulevard and Hwy 100, which serves employees and business of
both the Cahill District and Pentagon Park.
The Industrial Core represents the current mix of industrial
and service uses existing today in the district. A critical direction
identified through this plan was a desire to preserve the physical
core and its allowed uses in the district today.
The concept of two nodes and a core became the foundational
constant for scenario development, and the organizing framework
for understanding land uses within and around the District.
Using this grounding framework, a subdistrict typology was
established with potential and likely land uses that would be found
in each scenario. Each subdistrict was developed towards a vision
of preserving the core character of the District, while presenting
new opportunities for it to grow and evolve.

SCENARIO DEVELOPMENT
PROCESS
These subdistricts were then combined with the foundational Two
Nodes and a Core framework into a series of preliminary physical
subdistrict zones, and the formation of four preliminary land use
scenarios. Additional constants for each scenario were applied,
each of which derived from Work Group guidance, and aligning with
the District Plan’s guidance principles and goals. These additional
constants included:
• An east/west connection
• Amenity laden east edge
• More neighborhood friendly north and west edges
• Greater density and intensity to the south and east edges
No scenarios were developed that included no new housing, as
feedback from the first two open houses and the Work Group
identified a strong desire and need for additional housing options
within the City.
The most notable distinction across each scenario was the location
and scale of the Neighborhood Mixed Use subdistrict, in relation
to High Density Employment. This scale varies as the plan explored
access needs, and potential impacts of a mixed use district containing
residential uses.

Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 27 CONFLICTS AND ALTERNATIVESSCENARIO SELECTION
The final stage of engagement was focused on reaching a decision
around the potential development scenarios and prioritizing the
criteria to be used in guiding other plan elements, based on the
factors covered in this section. Feedback was collected via:
• Working Group discussions and iterative ranking exercises
• Individual and group participation in Workshop #3
• Feedback received via Better Together Edina portal
Collectively, the results of these three methods favored a scenario
that was primarily industrial. Of the four choices, Scenario A was the
most favored overall, followed in order by Scenarios C, B, and D. The
reasons given were focused on affirming the importance of this area
an industrial and employment district controlling increases to city
services, while allowing for some change.
During the criteria prioritization exercises, the five below had the
highest average weighted prioritization:
1. Community Serving: outcomes enhance local community
building, expands city amenities, and supports quality of life.
2. Job Creation: anticipated number, type, and quality of jobs that
could be created.
3. Public Space and Streetscape Improvements: opportunities
to introduce high quality public space and streetscape
improvements that enhance land uses, and the district as a
destination.
4. Utility Capacity: site and district limitations, opportunities,
and analysis needs on sanitary, storm, flooding, and limits on
density/intensity.
5. Sustainability: supports city goals of being a leader in
sustainability and environmental resilience.
This direction has helped shape the recommendations in this plan.
On the aspirational side, the plan focuses on ways to advance uses
that are community serving and feature improved sustainability,
connectivity, and amenity through an enhanced public realm. On the
cautionary side, the plan considers how limitations and constraints
in public systems (from utilities to schools) should inform a prudent
and managed approach to accommodating growth.
COSTS OF PROPOSED SCENARIOS
DEMAND FOR PUBLIC SERVICES
New and intensified development is associated with a range of
public sector costs. For the sake of this analysis, it focused primarily
on those at the local level, rather than state or federal impacts.
With this in mind, the biggest areas of consideration were impacts
on the capacity and costs to public schools, public safety and
emergency services, and parks and recreation. Schools in particular
were raised as a concern due to concerns about system capacity to
accommodate growth.
DEMAND FOR PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE
Likewise, development leads to additional costs with public
infrastructure. Again, for the sake of this exercise, the focus was
on local impacts. Factors identified include impacts on wastewater,
stormwater, and water utility capacity, roadway maintenance and
traffic management, and increased demand for transportation-related
facilities including pedestrian/bicycle upgrades and parking systems.
Sewer and stormwater system capacity in particular were raised as
concerns due to preexisting constraints in the current systems.
EVALUATION PROCESS
It was determined that a full quantitative analysis would not be
possible, given that this plan is at a high-level concept stage that
lacks the detail needed for full cost/benefit accounting. Additionally,
there are some inherent trade-offs between scenarios. For instance,
a heavily industrial scenario may have relatively lower public service
costs, but also may have lower potential overall public benefits. At
the same time, a more mixed-use future could have greater public
benefits, but also may have greater public costs. This reflects the fact
that value of uses is often capitalized into property values.
To overcome these limitations, the scenario evaluation process relied
on prioritization exercises via the working group, public engagement,
and stakeholder conversations. Participants were asked to evaluate
overall importance of key considerations in selecting a scenario,
including being able to add their own.
SCENARIO EVALUATION
The process for evaluating the draft development concepts was an
iterative one, based on considering, valuing, and prioritizing a range of
community outcomes. Factors considered included the following:
BENEFITS OF PROPOSED SCENARIOS
FISCAL STABILITY
Contributions to fiscal stability include development that stabilizes
and/or increases the city’s property tax base. This is important to
cover the cost of public infrastructure and city services associated
with development, as well as reducing pressure on other taxpaying
properties through a growing and diversified tax base. It should be
noted that not all benefits to the city are easily quantifiable, so this
analysis did not include a full fiscal impact study. Instead, it recognized
that new development must overall increase the value or properties,
in part through intensification of use of sites through development.
SUSTAINABILITY FACTORS
Contributions to sustainability are also an important category of
benefits, to ensure benefits are long lasting and have enduring value.
This includes a broad definition of sustainability to include economic,
social, and environmental benefits. In the context of developing
the area, this includes factors such as accommodating forecasted
job and/or housing growth (economic), providing additional
services and options to meet community needs (social), and
reducing development’s carbon footprint and environmental impact
(environmental).
LIVABILITY FACTORS
Additionally, livability factors reflect the importance that the
development contributes to maintaining and enhancing a high
quality of life for the community. This theme came through strongly
throughout the planning process, including in its original framing.
Factors considered included improved walkability and accessibility,
improved opportunities for positive activity and social interaction,
enhanced placemaking and identity, and reduced dependency on cars
to get around.
PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE
CONCEPT DESCRIPTION
OVERALL PLAN AND COMPOSITION
The preferred alternative, Scenario A: Open for Business, is a
confirmation to maintain the Cahill District as a predominantly jobs-
based and working District. With the exception of creating a few
defined mixed use areas, the majority of the District’s approximately
380 acres will be dedicated to a variety of job-producing land uses:
light industrial, and higher density office.
While this Plan confirms the future of the District as one that
supports a wide range of employment uses, it is not a plan to
maintain the status quo as an isolated underutilized district. The
City acknowledges the need to aggressively promote tax base
redevelopment and access to in-town jobs for Edina residents. This
Plan takes a hands-on approach to ensuring the District adapts to
the emerging needs of business districts by promoting flexibility,
resilience, partnerships, and outdoor amenities. The Plan anticipates
and supports the evolution of the District into one of the premier
employment districts in the region by supporting greater intensity of
land use, important public realm improvements, greater connections
to the community, and clearly defining the edges of the district.
DISTRICT CHARACTER AND IDENTITY
The character and identity of the District will evolve over time from
being a primarily 9-5 weekday District used by people working in
the District, to one in which a wider range of people are coming and
going into the District - both to work, visit, recreate and live.
The prevailing land use will remain focused on jobs, employment and
tax base. However the full complement of work in the District will
evolve to become cleaner, more refined and advanced, more creative,
and more collaborative. Over time, the overall mix of businesses
will organically evolve to meet the changing needs of the community
with aspirations to become one of the most desireable places in the
region to grow a business.
The District will continue to leverage its regional access and
proximity to the airport and other anchors in the west metro,
however increasingly, it will be known for and leverage assets such
trail connections, transit access, proximity to local workforce, and
connections to nearby neighborhoods and districts. Employees and
employers will increasingly choose to locate in the District because
it offers access to customers, like and complementary businesses,
necessary support services, and outdoor amenities.
As the Cahill District evolves it will also become better integrated
with its surroundings, while remaining primarily an employment
district. Originally designed as an industrial district in the 1960’s, the
area was intentionally separated and isolated - intended to be fully
oriented to the highways, not the community. This Plan provides
targeted recommendations and strategies in land use, transportation,
public realm along the edges of the District adjacent to its north and
east residential edges.
The Cahill District will become a place…
…where businesses large and small can find a home
to grow alongside a community that cares about its
future.
…that is entrepreneurial, adaptable, varied, and
evolving with a range of building spaces and types that
blend advanced industry, commerce, and education/
research.
… that provides exceptional access to the nearby
workforce and customer base.
…that contains a complementary set of live/work
options that elevates the character and image of the
district.
…that excites people, and is attractive to
development and investment
…where public spaces connect (internally and
externally), to help reduce flooding, reinforce the
identity of the District, and provide recreational
opportunities for employees, visitors and residents.
…where street connections and improvements
improve safety, wayfinding, circulation, and accessibility
for all users while unlocking the development
potential of the district. Alternative A: Open For Business

VALUE OF APPROACH TO EDINA
As a fully built out community in the west metro Cahill District has been
under pressure for years to redevelop with housing and other non-
employment uses. If land use policy permitted housing, it is likely that
many properties would redevelop as such.
Nonetheless, there are countervailing reasons to maintain (and improve)
Cahill as primarily an employment district. From a fiscal and revenue
standpoint, enhancing it as an important tax base contributor to Edina
will benefit the entire community. It will reduce the tax burden on the
rest of the community while helping Edina to provide critical services to
its residents.
Having a dedicated area of the city for flexible light industrial uses will
allow the City to attract living wage jobs with a low barrier to entry.
Furthermore, clean manufacturing, advanced processing and other
similar industrial (and commercial/research) companies are essential to
the overall health of a regional economy and likely beneficial to many
Edina based companies. Allowing them to operate “in town” rather than
in a distant industrial park not only keeps the jobs in Edina, but improves
their ability to create industry relationships with other businesses in
Edina.
The benefits of maintaining much of the District as an employment
Distict go beyond simply providing tax base. As a relatively affordable
place to start and run a business, the District offers an increasingly rare
opportunity for Edina residents to live close to work - and for many,
to start a business close to work. With time being an increasingly
valuable commodity in people’s lives, proximity to work is n increasingly
important factor in choosing where to work and live.
The District also offers an increasingly scarce opportunity for small
businesses that cater to the needs of residents in Edina to be located
in close proximity to each other and to their customers. Though not
traditional light industrial uses, businesses such as dance studios, framing
shops, carpentry shops, and fitness studios that view Edina residents
as their customer base can find affordable space in the District. And
importantly, Edina residents can patronize them without traveling to a
distant community.
In recent years the District has become home to a few important
social spaces. Minnesota Made (Hockey) and Wooden Hill Brewery are
businesses with a social component that have become an important part
of Edina’s social fabric. With the introduction of these businesses (and
others) the District has become more lively and active on weekends and
evenings and more important to the lives of Edina residents.

not identically weighted and the selected alternative recognizes
the tradeoffs of emphasizing industrial and employment uses over
housing. Furthermore with the scarcity of land in Edina, and the
difficulty of creating new employment areas, the presence of such a
District carries extra value that is permanently lost if transitioned to
non employment uses.

THE INTERIOR OF THE DISTRICT
The core of the District will remain primarily for
business and commerce, permissive with what
current employment uses are permitted. Legacy
companies will remain in operation; their freight
and truck needs will be supported with a roadway
network that ensures trucks can operate safely
alongside other modes of travel. Other buildings
between Cahill and Ohms will continue to evolve
towards greater intensification - some with
new tenants and more employees, others with
additions that add square footage and greater
utilization to the site.
In order to maintain competitiveness, over time,
both private buildings and public space will offer
more amenities. Buildings will open up to the
HOUSING IN THE DISTRICT - THE NORTHEAST
AND NORTHWEST CORNERS
The two residential buildings in the District,
(currently separated from each other and isolated
in the District) will be supported with adjacent
housing and amenities. The northwest corner
of the District (home to Amundsen Flats) will
become a neighborhood node with additional
housing, retail, and neighborhood services. New
and existing businesses will co-exist as the area
evolves to serve many of the daily needs of
nearby Edina residents. Consideration should be
given to include this area in one of the adjacent
neighborhoods.
The northeast corner of the District (home to
Creekside) will leverage its position along Nine
Mile Creek and with highway access by evolving
into a higher density neighborhood-scale mixed
use district - with housing and employment uses
intermixed. This portion of the District will serve
as a transition between the core of the District
and the established neighborhoods to the north.
In keeping with the desire for the District to have
a strong employment component, new housing
in the district should explore the possibility of
being live/work - that is, housing that is specifically
designed to accommodate home based businesses.
Live / Work units come in a variety of forms and
types depending on the desired separation of
“working” from “living”. For example, they can
simply be apartment units with extra space for
a home office or workshop, a townhouse with a
ground floor that is publicly accessible, or even
a loft like structure in which the workplace and
living space is completely overlapping and flexible.
DESCRIPTION OF PLACES WITHIN THE DISTRICT
HOUSING IN THE DISTRICT
Currently, there are five residential buildings in the District.
The plan recommends supporting the existing residential
properties by creating small neighborhoods around them, so
they are no longer isolated.
DEVELOPMENT IN THE INTERIOR
Given land constraints and financial viability, it is likely that
properties throughout the interior of the district will develop in
a variety of ways. Some will make simple improvements to the
site and buildings, other may redevelop to a higher and greater
use with new buildings.

Consideration should be given to introducing
additional business support amenities such as co-
working spaces, entrepreneurial hubs, and other
emerging enterprises designed to create a strong
entrepreneurial eco-system.
Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 31 PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE
THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE DISTRICT
The southern edge of the District also has great
potential for redevelopment into high density
employment uses. Currently home to a mixture
of service, office, and light industrial uses, this edge
of the District has strong regional access with
highway interchanges to both Hwy 100 and I-494.
The area is visible along 494 today, however
it is separated from 494 by 60 acres of land
in Bloomington. Further coordination with
Bloomington will be important for this area
to fully realize its potential. In particular,
consideration should be given to creating
connections between Edina Industrial Boulevard in
Edina and 78th Street in Bloomington. Ultimately,
this area’s value will rely less on its visibility
and access to I-494, and more on how well it is
integrated into the Cahill District.
THE EAST EDGE OF THE DISTRICT
In addition to the northeast and northwest
corners of the District, the east and southern
edges are anticipated to change significantly over
the next 10 years. The eastern edge, between
Ohms and Metro Boulevard has the highest
potential for redevelopment because it has the
most regional visibility and access, and the largest
undeveloped parking lots. However there are also
significant challenges to redevelopment - namely
the high water table and the fact that the area is
prone to flooding.
With infrastructure improvements to manage
flooding, and above ground parking structures,
the area can begin to fill in with new office and
employment uses. Consideration should be given EDINA
Cahill
District
BLOOMINGTON
to realigning, meandering, widening, or otherwise
altering the creek and surrounding area to better
manage flooding and provide amenity to the entire
District. Given stormwater issues in the District,
and the benefit of smaller footprint buildings the
vision might allow additional height to buildings
near the highway (in exchange for smaller
footprints, and less impervious surface). This will
likely require a review and potential adjustment to
the existing height overlay district.
Redevelopment of the eastern edge also provides
an opportunity to reintegrate the area to the
core of the district, rather than towards Metro
Boulevard. Extending new east west streets
into the superblock, from Ohms, will enable the
superblock to orient itself to Ohms. In doing so,
approximately 2000’ of Metro Boulevard (5 acres)
could become redundant and possibly unnecessary
- land that could instead be used for flood storage,
recreation, trails, and other important public
needs.

The Neighborhood Node area is the primary destination for locally-

residents. It will include an mix of local retail and services, including
shops offering essential goods and services. The Neighborhood Node
is the place to meet neighbors for coffee in the morning, to grab
lunch with coworkers, or take your kids to dance studio after work.
Multi family housing is integrated into the sub-are for those who
choose to live within immediate walking distances of local stores and
services
BUSINESS NODE
The Business Node leverages its prime location at the Edina
Industrial Blvd and Hwy 100 interchange to offer a key business-
serving commercial destination, and supportive offices. The area will
be hub for retail and services oriented to businesses and employees
in both the Cahill and Pentagon Park districts. The Business Node
will reach peak activity during the workday hours when area
employees take the comfortable walk or drive to the area to pick
up a large print order, grab lunch with coworkers, or purchase some
office supplies. Intergrated amidst these uses will be small- and
medium-sized offices.
HIGH EMPLOYMENT OFFICE
The High Employment Office area offers modern and amenitized
office / research buildings for corporations and businesses seeking a
Class A environment in the West Metro. The area will attract sectors
oriented towards tech and innovation, complimentary to the existing
entrepreneurial identity of the District. While industrial buildings
and uses would be permitted, portions of the area will redevelop
by transitioning large surface lots into more efficient development
parcels with stacked parking, outdoor amenities, and multi modal
connections to Edina.
While this plan is not recommending increased heights as a baseline

LAND USE AND SUB AREAS
NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE
The Neighborhood Mixed Use Activity Center area blends
retail, office, and multi-family housing in the north east corner
of the District. The resulting mixed-use neighborhood is a place
where residents can live, work, and play, offering both daytime
employment and services, before turning to evening retail and
dining spaces in which to gather and serve as a destination and
amenity for surrounding neighborhoods. Modern, multifamily housing
complements businesses and services live-work arrangements or
simply in comfortable walking distances from employment elsewhere
in the district. The area’s public realm includes livable streets that
accommodate walking and biking, transit along major routes, and
infrastructure that aids in regional flood mitigation. It is anchored by
small (public/semi-public) open spaces that incorporates visible green
infrastructure.
INDUSTRIAL CORE
The Industrial Core represents the enterprising essence of the
Cahill District. This area is home to for both forward-thinking
industries as well as essential support services for the city. Uses here
reflect a similar composition of existing businesses — fabricators
and manufacturing, community and businesses services, office
spaces — and will continue to provide goods and services with
local, regional, and global impacts. Through public realm and flood
mitigation improvements, the future of the area will evolve into
a new economically vibrant and stronger version of itself, with
enhanced public spaces and amenities that make this an appealing
and competitive destination for entrepreneurs. This future will
allow for flexible and adaptive (re)use of existing structures, or new
construction to support current use types.

The east edge of the district, between
Metro Boulevard and Ohms Ave is
designated for High Employment . As
discussed elsewhere in the Plan, this
area has a high water table, extensive
surface parking lots and a realigned
creek - as a result it experiences
flooding. The Plan recognizes the need
for extensive flood mitigation around
the area of the creek. A broad strategy
to address flooding, parking and
redevelopment is likely necessary for
this area to realize its potential and its

establish a public realm understanding, and set of recommendations
to improve the District’s public realm. Each of the follow five
framework components provide a lens in which to understand and
ascribe improvement opportunities across the District.
Generally speaking, there are three primary areas of focus for
this public realm plan. Each carries a different level of City ability
to influence change, particularly for areas that are solely private.
Collectively however, these three areas inform the form, function,
perception, and “feeling” experienced by people in any given place.

Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 44 Public Realm PlanPublic ROW - STReeT neTWORK
The majority of the District’s current public realm is comprised of the
Public Right of Way (ROW), which contains the public street network. This
network reflects purposeful steps taken to separate the industrial park
from surrounding uses. As such, streets are wide with minimal streetscape,
pedestrian, or bike amenities, and there are few direct through-streets.
As residential segments of Edina grew around the District, there was
legitimate need to discourage casual or convenient access into the District
as it operated predominantly with light and heavy industrial activities and
an active rail line.
More recently however, District land uses has evolved into a diversity of
community-serving uses interspersed with traditional industrial. As a result,
the need for more intuitive and accommodating access and circulation
has created design and connectivity tensions within the changing District.
Multimodal improvements have certainly been introduced, however
most streets remain predominantly designed for vehicles with minimal
connections for employees hoping to walk to lunch with coworkers, or
nearby residents seeking to visit areas businesses.

Cahill is well served on its exteriors by a series of streets that provide
either east-west, or north-south connectivity.
Internally, the 74th St / Bush Lake Rd / Dewey Rd connection is the only
east-west connector through the district. This critical route connects the
Ohms Ln/Metro Blvd and Cahill Rd north-south routes.
Particularly unique to the District roadway networks is that it provides
direct access to two highways/interstates via three interchanges. Many
industrial parks are oriented around one or two interchanges providing
regional or statewide access. Cahill’s access to three is part of what makes
the site so attractive.

Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 45 Public Realm PlanThe Cahill District was built atop of a fairly sizeable, low lying wetlands,
with Nine Mile Creek likely winding through the center of the District. The
wetlands were eventually consolidated to the northeast segment of the
District, while the creek was rerouted, possibly multiple times, to the east
edge of District along Hwy 100. As a result of these actions much of the
District experiences regular flooding as natural drainage locations surround
building foundations, parking lots, streets, and other built areas.
In addition to localized flooding, poor drainage conditions create fairly
significant development barriers as any impervious cover must adhere to
Watershed stormwater management rate and quality requirements. Excess
water from flood events compound watershed management requirements
that all developments and impervious areas must adhere to. Compliance is
required for most new development, and site improvement or renovations
over certain thresholds.
The lack of public open space creates constraints in collecting and
treating stormwater on a regional or semi-regional manner. As a result,
most properties treat stormwater on-site and below ground, which is
often more expensive and harder to maintain than regional approaches.
This creates additional barriers to prospective site improvements or
new development, which must address stormwater completely on site.
Underground treatment may allow for more development.
Alternatively, stormwater management my take a regional approaches that
collect and treat stormwater in “stacked” infrastructure, generally within
public ROW. There are often many cost and water quality benefits of this
approach, and a stacked approach can amenitize infrastructure towards
increased public and market value.
1. Urban soils are often unhealthy and compact, causing them to become
impermeable to precipitation and causing runoff
2. Bioswales and other planted drainage features can double as bump outs to
calm traffic.
3. Larger rain events are directed to overflow structures and drains systems
4. Tree planters or trenches collect and filter water for uptake by street trees
5. On street parking could be converted to permeable pavement that drains and
filters stormwater and connects to below grade drainage
6. Reduced travel lanes decreases impervious area and increases space for
stormwater management

5. Green space can be “stacked” atop stormwater functions to create passive or

CAHILL FLOOD AND STORMWATER QUICK FACTS
The District contains approximately 80 acre/feet of flood area (for a
100-year flood). Within the District, there are approximately 50 acres of
available ROW — the majority of which is dedicated to public streets.
At that rate, about 1.5 feet of water management depth for every square
foot of ROW would be needed just to sufficiently manage flood areas.
This is impractical both from a cost and spatial perspective.
As such, to aide in treating area flooding and reducing development
barriers, opportunity-driven partnerships should be explored for
locations that could accommodate new, stacked public stormwater and
public space infrastructure.

Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 46 Public Realm PlanQuaSi-Public SPace
Quasi-Public spaces are those that are privately owned, but intended
primarily for public use. These uses, such as restaurants, retail stores,
or private plazas, are sometimes referred to as the “third space” as
they are private places in which many people spend time between
home and work or school. While critical to overall aesthetics and
character of an area, the city’s influence over these places is generally
limited to design guidance during initial development review, then the
on-going quality and safety inspections of applicable businesses.
To best leverage the benefits of quasi-public spaces, the city should
proactively seek to established land use and design guidance that
incentives, or requires, quality spaces that are easily accessible to the
public. Further, quasi-public spaces should have clear visibility and
access, which are critical to fostering a positive environment in which
these places may thrive.

Private but publicly visible spaces are those that are privately owned, are

Cahill these are primarily the larger industrial or office sites. Usually this
includes building facades, landscaping, and other visible external features.
They can however include interior spaces if visible through windows
or porous exteriors. These spaces embody most of the district, and
significantly contribute to overall aesthetics and character.
The city’s influence over these places is generally limited to design guidance
during initial development review, and the occasional code inspection or
violation complaint.
To best leverage the benefits of private but publicly visible spaces, the city
should proactively seek to established land use and design guidance that
incentives, or requires, quality landscape, attractive building frontage, art

The District is in need of a clearly defined, quality east-west interior
connection routes that stitches together the planned CP Trail to the Nine
Mile Creek Regional Trail, while facilitating strong multimodal circulation.
The “Cahill Connector” route would connect Cahill Rd to 70th St, via
Dewey Hill, Bush Lake Rd, 74th St, Ohms Ln, 72nd St, and Metro Blvd.
This would be a similar route to the proposed “Twin Loops” route from
the City Ped and Bike Master Plan. Enhanced streetscape like street trees,
strong wayfinding, art, and street furniture where appropriate would
be applied along the route. These elements would aid in establishing a
centralized sense of place, while connecting the Neighborhood Mixed Use
subdistrict to Lewis Park and uses west of the district.
Associated multimodal elements, described in more detail later, would
provide for a roadway that balances walking and biking with necessary
vehicle traffic. The resulting “complete street” would align with guidance
provided by the City’s living streets policy.
Enhance streetscape
and a shared use
path along the “Cahill

Gateways create clear and defining “transition moments” to signify
that you are entering into a distinct area. Locating even simple gateway
features at some of the major entrances to the Cahill District can
aid in establishing the District’s identity as a destination employment
center. Gateway elements can range from simple signage to ornate
pieces of large art, but may also include portions of or entire buildings
- particularly buildings with notable frontage or design. Location and
available ROW often dictate the size, scale, and design of any gateway
feature.
Associated wayfinding, which would benefit from reflecting imagery
established by gateways, should provide for clear orientation, directions
to major landmarks, and general ease of multimodal circulation
throughout the district. Wayfinding is generally located at intersections
and major destinations or landmarks.
Gateway & Wayfinding Considerations
Gateways are most effective when clearly visible, are at major locations
of transition, and when they convey a clear sense of place in regards to
surrounding context. This can be communicated through height, unique
materials, shapes, colors, or lettering, or even feature location such as along
a building or in the middle of a road median.
For the Cahill District, gateway features should mark entrances into
the district, while selecting materials and design styles that evoke
entrepreneurship, innovation, technology, and sustainability. To further
enhance gateway impacts, and an overarching district identify, motifs
established within gateway features should be reflected in district
wayfinding and public space designs.

Pedestrian-oriented activity areas are locations intended for regular,
public usage such as retail, dining, living, or entertainment. For the
Cahill District, these are the Neighborhood and Business Nodes and
the Neighborhood Mixed Use subdistrict. To best accommodate this
purpose, land uses in these areas are intended to generally be oriented
towards a pedestrian scale, and provide quasi public spaces that invite
people to gather. Development and design at this scale also improves
clarity of circulation for all users, making it easier to access local
businesses.
Because nearly all land in these areas are private, it is expected that any
public-oriented open spaces will be privately provided and managed.
This likely would include plazas, outdoor dining, or pocket parks
associated with retail or residential uses. If well designed, these spaces
should comfortably connect with adjacent sidewalks and trails, with
clear lines of sites and wayfinding.

Regional (multi-site) approaches to water management are often more
efficient and sustainable approaches to treating stormwater and flood
water. Generally speaking however, without public sector involvement and
land ownership, coordinating water management across multiple sites and
owners his a very difficult task. The lack of public open space therefore
presents barriers for comprehensively addressing either stormwater or
flood management beyond a site-by-site approach.
While stormwater management certainty carries specific permitting
criteria, efficient use of water management could also aid in addressing
flood management and stormwater requirements. These efforts will
require partnerships with private property owners to identify excess land
during site redevelopment and infrastructure coordination. As such, these
improvements are anticipated to be opportunity-driven as sites redevelop.
To be most effective in providing public and private benefits, these systems
should treat multiple properties while creating visual or recreation amenity,
or gathering space.
As indicated top right, two large “soft” sites - those with low percentages
of building coverage - could more easily accommodate new development
and are located in areas of concentrated flooding adjacent Nine Mile
Creek. Both site may provide favorable locations for these major
opportunity water management and amenity improvements.

to accommodate trucks and larger vehicles. Any bike
facilities are off-street, and there may be few or no marked
crosswalks at intersections. Minimal streetscape elements
are likely included.
Travel lanes and intersections are designed to comfortably
and safely balance personal and delivery vehicles, some
trucks, and pedestrians, with possible bike facilities
included as either on-street, or off-street. Multimodal
emphasis however is placed on sidewalks and pedestrian
connections. Modest-to-high quality streetscape elements
are included.
Travel lanes and intersections are designed with enhanced
pedestrian and bike facilities, while accommodating
personal and delivery vehicles, and some local trucks.
Higher quality and unique streetscape is concentrated
along this route. The Connector intends to enhance the
key east-west access in the District, while connecting the
CP and Nine Mile Creek Regional Trails.
Opportunity locations for new paths, trails, or street
connections to create better internal circulation and
connectivity. Each location should be opportunity-driven,
and will require coordination with private property
owners.
The Canadian Pacific Rail Regional Trail will link the Nine
Mile Creek Regional Trail to the Hyland Park Reserve in
Bloomington. The approved alignment runs along Bush Lake
Road, Dewey Hill Road, and Cahill Road, then merges with
existing facilities on 70th Street.

A critical step to identifying public roadway
improvements is to ascribe a user-based
typology to the existing roadway, while
anticipating users for possible future roadways.
In doing so, design decisions can be tailored to
best serve intended users on a street segment,
while considering impacts on adjacent land uses.
Three categories were developed for the
District that intended to provide and balance
the provision of routes for different user groups,
while ensuring current and future land uses
are well served by the public transportation
network. The City of Edina’s Living Streets Plan
provides a foundational element of this roadway
typology approach.
As redevelopment occurs throughout the
district, the city will utilize development-specific
impacts and this roadway typology framework
to continue to assess roadway and intersection
design needs.

Using the roadway typology and planned improvements, a new network
of multimodal improvements can better connect users to, and through,
the district.
Anchored internally by an enhanced “Cahill Connector”, these routes
provide internal access and circulation for those walking and biking,
while maintaining safe circulation and access for necessary vehicle traffic.
They will also aid in health promoting design by allowing more sidewalks
for walking trips to areas businesses, or for employees and future
residents who simply want to go for a walk.

mitigate conflicts between roadway users, heavier truck traffic should be
encouraged to use the south and west edges of the district whenever
able. Further, encouraging heavy truck use of the southern Hwy 100
interchange will keep truck traffic out of the more residential and
retail portions of the District’s northern edge. While this should be
encouraged, this plan does not recommend formally designating truck-
only routes, so as to maintain street use and design flexibility.

Roadway segments along these routes should be designed to comfortably
and safely accommodate larger trucks. This means wider travel lanes,
driveways, and turn radii. Bike facilities along these segments should avoid
the inclusion of on-street bike facilities to mitigate conflicts. Each roadway
has sufficient ROW, so sidewalks should be included on one or both sides
of each segement, which would also mitigate people walking in the street.
Bush Lake Road, particularly between 74th Street and 76th Street, may
warrant on-street parking to address localized parking needs associated
with adjacent retail and recreation uses. This parking however should be

Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 56 Public Realm PlanThree Rivers Park District’s planned CP Rail Regional Trail will offer a
significant new regional connection through the district, the confluence of a
two-trail head at 70th St/Cahill Rd, and a chance for better pedestrian and
bike connections within the district. The draft trail master plan provides a
suggested route alignment and facility design guidance, which is reflected
below.
Cahill Road: The approximately 65’ existing ROW could accommodate
the Trail if existing on-street bike lanes are removed, which would be
redundant to the regional trail. A west-running trail maintains bike access
to Lewis park and residential uses west of Cahill, but would require a two
phase crossings at the Dewey Hill intersection.

While the draft master plan suggest a 10’ shared use path for the Trail
design, updated best practices now suggest a 12’ path where possible, with
10’ as a minimum width. Much of the District could likely accommodate a
12’ trail width, and should utilize that design whenever able.
Dewey Hill Road Intersection: Redesigning the intersection as a
mini roundabout, described in more detail later in this section, would
improve crossing safety, despite the two-phased crossing required. The
Trail alignment may present some conflicts with the otherwise heavy truck
traffic entering/leaving the district at that intersection, however, highly
visible crossing markings and locations can help mitigate these issues.
Dewey Hill Road: With equal numbers of driveways on both sides of the
street, a north running trail allows for a single crossing from Cahill Rd, but
would require an additional crossing at the intersection with Bush Lake Rd.
Bush Lake Road: A west-running trail avoids all intersection crossings
and presents comparatively less topography issues. It would also allow for
safer access and turn movements as the trail transitions to West 78th St.

Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 57 Public Realm PlanThe Cahill / Dewey Hill intersection was designed to accommodate turn
movements of large trucks. The intersection purposefully deters casual or
comfortable through-traffic, especially traffic traveling from the west on
Dewey Hill Rd across Cahill Rd. The intersection has become increasingly
difficult to navigate as District uses have evolved towards attracting more
personal vehicle and retail traffic.
An alternative option that would improve intersection safety and
operations is a mini-roundabout at the intersection. Compared to
traditional intersections, roundabouts such as the concept shown here have
demonstrated less traffic delays, reduction in crashes, result in fewer idling
vehicles, and present less vehicle/ped/bike conflict points.

The above concept, which is meant as an illustration of a mini

if truck traffic is preferred along the segment of Cahill south
of the intersection. The center island of the mini-roundabout is
surmountable, allowing for large truck traffic leaving Dewey Hill
Rd to south-bound Cahill Rd to drive harmlessly over the center
island, as shown in this MnDOT Diagram.
Bike and ped crossings occur at marked
locations, and are pulled back from the
middle of the intersection to be at
“splitter islands”. These islands also act as
bike and ped refuges for safer crossing.

Metro Transit Routes which currently serve the district are Local Route
6K and Frequent Local Route 540. These are the only two active routes
within the district. Route 542 was suspended due to ridership impacts of
COVID, and has not returned to operation. Both of these active routes
terminate in or near the district, with the nearest transfer points just east
of the district at the Southdale Transit Center, and stops surrounding the
I-35W/I-494 Interchange. The E Line BRT, scheduled for completion in 2025,
will terminate at Southdale Transit Center and provide additional adjacent
regional access. Seventeen bus stops are located within the district, all of
which lack bus shelters.
Metro Transit Bus Stop Design Guidelines
Metro Transit’s Bus stop design guidelines are crucial to identifying how
the Cahill District plan could support physical improvements to transit
access. While offering design best practices, the stop design guidelines can
also suggest opportunities to pursue targeted bus stop improvements,
improving safety and ease of access for transit riders.
An assessment of each transit stop within the District was conducted
using Metro Transit design criteria of stop pedestrian access, boarding
access, bench, slope, and stop length. Transit stops were then given a
cumulative score to inform which locations should be prioritized for future
improvements. A full stop review is included in Appendix B.
The pending CP Trail and associated roadway improvements along that
route would be an opportunity to address substandard stop locations
along Cahill, Dewey Hill Rd, and Bush Lake Rd. Additionally, future (re)
development adjacent transit stops should also be improve stop designs.

Plan imPlemenTaTiOn
The following is a preliminary list of initial steps the City of Edina
should take towards implementing the Public Realm Plan. A more robust
implementation plan is included in the following section of this Plan.
Implementation steps are not listed in order of priority.
ENHANCED STREETSCAPE
Utilizing guidance from the city’s Living Street policy and other best
practices, enhance streetscape aesthetics along the Cahill Connector route,
and ensure alignment with the future CP Trail. These improvements should
be implemented alongside any street retrofit or reconstruction along the
Cahill Connector Route, and aid in establishing a sense of place through
the core of the District.
GATEWAYS & WAYFINDING
Commission a branding and wayfinding plan for the District to establish a
gateway and wayfinding pattern book. This resource would detail designs,
materials, and locations for district gateways, wayfinding, art, and related
elements.
PEDESTRIAN SCALE DEVELOPMENT
Review and update the zoning code to ensure zoning districts associated
with the Neighborhood Node, Business Node, and Neighborhood
Mixed Use districts are provided guidance to encourage pedestrian scale
development.
REGIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT
Commission a subwatershed assessment of the District to better
understanding geotechnical conditions, opportunities, and constraints for
regional and semi-regional stormwater and flood management approaches.
Facilitate conversations with current property owners of “soft sites” (low
coverage sites that could most easily accommodate new development)
to explore potential partnerships towards regional, stacked water
management opportunities that could also add value to their properties. As
redevelopment occurs in the district, continue conversations with owners
on these value added, opportunity-driven improvements.
MULTIMODAL IMPROVEMENTS
Utilizing guidance from the city’s Living Streets policy, and section
recommendations from this plan, incorporate multimodal roadway
improvements throughout the district, during planned street retrofit
reconstruction. Priority should be given to those routes along the Cahill
Connector.
PREFERRED TRUCK ROUTE
Coordinate with area business owners, particularly large industrial and
shipping businesses, to direct trucks along preferred truck routes along the
west edge of the District. Future wayfinding should consider orientation
and markers to support this.
CP TRAIL
Continue working and coordinating with Three Rivers towards the timing,
siting, and design of the trail, ensuring final details bring benefits to the
city and district. Align the project to consider improvements elsewhere
in the district, including the Dewey Hill intersection and multimodal
improvements along the Cahill Connector route.
DEWEY HILL INTERSECTION
Commission an intersection study of the Cahill Rd / Dewey Hill Rd
intersection to confirm feasibility and design details of a mini roundabout
at the intersection, or other viable alternatives. Any future design must
consider accommodations for CP trail needs, truck access along Dewey
Hill, and other adjacent business needs as necessary.
TRANSIT STOP DESIGN & ACCESS
Continue coordination with Metro Transit on evaluating transit stop
conditions, and pursue partnership opportunities for stop improvements
with private property owners, particularly during (re)development. During
future design and reconstruction of either the CP Trail, or public roads,
identify stop locations that can be improved as part of the project.
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 61 IMPLEMENTATION PLANIMPLEMENTATION
OVERVIEW
Implementing desired change in a place like the Cahill district is
more than a simple to do list. There are different tiers of action, and
a variety of tools to inform each tier. The purpose of this chapter is
to lay out resources for each of the primary approaches.
As change likely will be incremental and need to respond to both
unanticipated opportunities and rapid change, this approach must be
flexible. At the same time, it cannot compromise too much on the
underlying goals and principles that form the common understanding
shaping the plan. Going back to the original framing of this plan,
this means having a strong framework to implement goals while
also providing more general guidelines to allow for the pursuit of
aspirations when an opportunity to do something unique emerges.
In this plan, the implementation matrix (described below) outlines
the way goals can be implemented. Regarding aspirations, they are
provided as more inspirational concepts. The path forward with
aspirations can include (but not be limited to):
• Projects that involve public participation or another mission-
driven partnership
• Developers or property owners with a vision for an innovative
approach to development
• Proposals where additional approvals are needed that may
incentivize exceptional approaches
IMPLEMENTATION MATRIX
The implementation steps below are based on this being a city-led
plan. The City of Edina has tools and resources to set policy, build
and maintain infrastructure, implement programs and initiatives,
communicate strategic directions, and partner with other public
and private entities and jurisdictions. Priorities for the Cahill district
will necessarily need to be evaluated against other city goals and
activities. As such, the timelines associated with them are estimated.
Short term = 1-2 years; Mid-term = 3-5 years; Long term = 5+ years
POTENTIAL SHORT TERM ACTIONS
The implementation matrix provides an extensive list of possible
actions. Not all of these will be near-term priorities, and many
may depend on either market-driven opportunities or future
prioritization of resources. However, based on an initial assessment
of feasibility and priority, the following were identified as potential
short term actions.
• Ensure land use policy and regulatory consistency between the
district plan and city policy and regulatory documents
• Maximize value of planned regional trail connectivity for the
district and the city.
• Support improvements in Pedestrian Oriented Activity Areas,
which include pedestrian scale design and enhanced open space.
• Explore opportunities for wayfinding, signage, and branding for
the district, particularly via gateway enhancements.
• Scale up wastewater utility capacity improvements consistent
with the City’s 2019 sewer capacity study for the district.

Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 69 IMPLEMENTATION PLANDECARBONIZATION AND
ELECTRIFICATION
Building decarbonization, reducing reliance
on fossil fuels and decreasing emissions, is
increasing a priority. Expansion of EV charging
infrastructure continues to be an in-demand
feature for development. Both state and federal
administrations have recently stepped up both
with ambitious goals and unprecedented resources
now available for implementation.
IMPLICATION: Resources and support for
green buildings and green energy in the Cahill
district.
DIGITAL TRACKING AND
MODELING
There are increasing and rapidly evolving
applications for internet connected technology in
planning for areas. One example includes smart
cities applications that track things like air quality,
lighting, waste management, and water flows so
they can be efficiently modeled and provide real-
time information. Virtual and extended reality
opportunities are evolving as well.
IMPLICATION: Explore potential pilot
applications, especially in areas with low levels of
natural surveillance.
EVOLVING AND GROWING
DEMAND FOR STREET EDGES
There is growing demand for uses and activities
in the curb space between street and property.
Competing and complementary uses include room
for outdoor shopping and dining, delivery services,
shared mobility, and micro mobility (e-bikes, bikes,
scooters). Exploration of how space is allocated in
the right-of-way and how to prioritize modes and
demands with the space.
IMPLICATION: Roadway improvements should
consider multiple space demands.
UNDERSTANDING THE VALUE
OF GREEN SPACES
There is now increased understanding of how
amenity-rich and multi-function public spaces
contribute, from improved mental health
to broader economic recovery. Expanded
understanding of nature-based solutions to climate
change resilience and flooding. Particularly in cities,
understanding of how this can also contribute
to vibrant public spaces that are attractive for
workers and increase property value.
IMPLICATION: Multiple reasons and needs that
support investment in green infrastructure.
A sustainable and green district with restorative environmental practices that
support Edina’s climate resiliency goals through both the public realm and
private investment, setting a higher standard for how office/industrial districts
can function.
ASPIRATION:
RESILIENT AND CONNECTED SYSTEMS
Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 70 IMPLEMENTATION PLANFUTURE OF OFFICE:
WORKING ANYWHERE
Post-pandemic, the expectation now is that
working full-time in the office as a standard
model is obsolete. Over half the workforce has
the ability to work remote at least part time, and
people are making choices based on convenience,
amenity, and lifestyle flexibility. This is even more
present in younger generations, particularly Gen
Z “digital natives.” Flexibility will be needed to
accommodate different working patterns.
IMPLICATION: Work spaces must be attractive
and convenient, with additional amenities. Office
and parking space footprints may shrink.
DESIGNING FOR
CONTINUOUS CHANGE
With only half of pre-pandemic office supply now
being occupied, the market is in the midst of a
disruptive time for how space is used, and a focus
on how to design for continuous changes. This
may include adaptively reusing obsolete buildings
or designing new ones with multiple uses or
flexibility to change between them. This will have
implications for tax capacity and use mix, as the
balance of how space is used shifts.
IMPLICATION: Allow for flexibility of the use
of space, and mixing of different uses, particularly
with competitive markets in mind
FUTURE OF INDUSTRY: OLD
IS NEW AGAIN
While the tech industry is experiencing an
adjustment, there is a resurgence in focus on
domestic manufacturing, as some industries
are seeking to restore production and simplify
logistics. Likewise, surges in demand for both
deliveries and data mean urban industrial locations
are attractive for small-scale, strategically located
distribution and data hubs, with smaller, but more
numerous, trucks than prior industrial areas.
IMPLICATION: Strong demand possible for
industrial park areas with value added uses.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND
CREATOR ECONOMY
The last couple of years in particular have seen
a spike in the formation of new businesses,
particularly entrepreneurial efforts that can
operate anywhere. Likewise, the creator economy
is an innovative and disruptive force. Content
creation in the digital space has generated new
value, and many questions. High speed internet
is a must, but how this translates into bricks and
mortar operations is still in development.
IMPLICATION: Support new entrepreneurs
as they seek to evolve their businesses past the
startup phase and become more established.
ASPIRATION:
REGIONAL ECONOMIC VALUE
An innovative business district that helps redefine the future of work through
enhanced, high amenity workspaces and forward-thinking businesses that
explore new frontiers in their field, drawing on the top talent in the region and
reflecting the city’s commitment to continuous learning and progress.
Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 71 IMPLEMENTATION PLANASPIRATION: COMMUNITY SERVING
AND BUILDING
A lively, vibrant mixed-use district that is an attractive destination for both local
residents and areas visitors, with retail and services, unique living options, and
leisure and entertainment opportunities that transform this into a niche urban
community.
NICHE NEIGHBORHOODS
FOR LIVING AND WORKING
With the high degree of mobility and options
experienced by households, leading areas with
the opportunity and resources to create niche
neighborhood concepts, with hyper-local and
custom amenities that provide unique and
convenient spaces. While preferences are diverse,
households with the highest degree of choice
predominantly prefer amenity-rich suburbs.
IMPLICATION: Create mixed use choice
neighborhood concepts specific to preferences of
current and future workers and residents.
MORE EMPHASIS ON
HEALTHY AND GREEN LIVING
People are also making intentional decisions
about promoting health and sustainability through
their lifestyles. There has been a growing trend,
particularly post pandemic, for people who want
to demonstrate their values and promote wellness
through how they shop, live, work, and play. The
presence of live-work options can extend the
hours of activity in the area beyond 8-5.
IMPLICATION: Health-promoting and green
amenities in buildings and public realm are value
added component
NEW RHYTHMS OF
COMMUNITY ACTIVITY
Mirroring flexibility in the work week, the typical
patterns of activity in neighborhoods and business
district have been changed, perhaps permanently.
With more people working at home and choosing
off-peak hours for travel, uses and activities are
more mixed and need flexibility to meet today’s
lifestyle choices, including digital nomads.
IMPLICATION: Designing a district that
provides a mix of convenient, compatible options
for living and working, especially for those with
flexible scheduling.
CHANGING PEOPLE,
CHANGING HOMES
As the population continues to both diversify and
age, the composition of housing options within a
community needs to change as well. Market-driven
responses point to a need for more multifamily,
mixed use, and accessory options – as well as just
a general increase in the supply to meet demand.
At the community level, this means rebalancing and
adding to the overall housing mix. It can also mean
new market niches, like flexible live-work options.
IMPLICATION: Housing options that provide
lifecycle housing choices for people in Edina.
Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 72 IMPLEMENTATION PLANMEASURING PROGRESS
APPROACH
While the goals and implementation steps earlier focus on outcomes
via public sector actions, the full potential of the area will only
be realized via private and semi-private efforts. This many include
development proposals, business investments and expansions,
potential public/private partnerships, an other means by which great
ideas are surfaced and common ground is discovered.
As a result, the means to measure progress focuses less on specific
goals and more on achieving a range of performance standards.
The table to the right associates them with both the overall plan
principles and series of topical areas of intervention where there’s
room for the public sector to be involved.
During the planning process, there was a robust discussion of the
possibility of metering limited capacity in the district based on the
ability of potential projects to meet a certain standard. While this
process stopped short of defining a precise formula, this section is
intended as a resource for furthering this conversation.
HOW DOES EDINA LEAD?
There are three key leadership areas where the City can set the
stage and tone for what’s next:
CAPACITY: Due to critical system constraints, public investment
needed, most notably on sewer capacity, but also in areas such as
schools. Otherwise, growth potential will be significantly limited.
PARTNERSHIP: Changing the land use type, intensity, and
character of this area will require a significant effort, and potentially
additional resources. Public partnership and leadership can both
enable and elevate exceptional development futures.
FLEXIBILITY: While this plan provides significant guidance, the
nature of new and innovative concepts is that they may push against
the limits of what is expected. While core principles and goals
should likely be maintained, the City’s openness to unexpected
but welcome ideas has the potential to open new frontiers. The
City already has established procedures for exploring flexibility in
standards, while still aligning with adopted policy, via its development
review process.

Cahill District Plan DRAFT // 5-11-2023 Spring 2023 73 IMPLEMENTATION PLANIMPLEMENTATION
CONSIDERATIONS
MANAGING IMPACTS
As identified earlier, system capacity and constraints are an
important consideration. The underlying structure of Edina’s
Comprehensive Plan, as well as various other policy and regulatory
documents, is based on ensuring public decision making and
investment keep pace with expected growth and change.
The challenge of pacing public costs with development is that public
investments are often not incremental, so they cannot be easily
tracked parallel to marginal impacts of new development. However,
that does not mean that cumulative impacts shouldn’t be considered
during public decision making.
A future area of study could be investigating a more robust strategy
for accounting for future impacts of redevelopment. One potential
tool is an Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) process. An
AUAR is a Minnesota state tool to evaluate environmental impacts of
multi-phase development across a study area. If a future larger-scale
redevelopment project is proposed, an AUAR may be an effective
way to meet environmental review requirements.
PLAN EVOLUTION
While this plan is intended as a long-term strategy for the district,
changes and uncertainties mean that revisiting this (and other
small area plans) every 5-10 years helps them remain relevant and
updated. While the core principles of this plan are established as a
means to maintain consistency across time, some aspects may need
to change.
It happens that the next significant opportunity to revisit this plan
will be during the City’s comprehensive plan update, starting within
a few years. As it is expected this plan will be incorporated directly
into the citywide comprehensive plan, as have other small area and
district plans, the City will need to affirm the plan’s direction and
consistency with the citywide planning framework.
When it comes to a plan update, hopefully there is no need for
major reworking of all elements. However, some key questions
can be identified to guide this path of inquiry, and inform if a plan
amendment is needed. These questions may include, but not be
limited to, the change factors to the right
While a review of these factors can be a helpful exercise, it doesn’t
necessarily require that the plan be amended. However, flexibility
in approach can ensure that the city continues progress toward
its goals and aspirations for the community, while being effective
stewards of public resources.
CHANGE FACTORS
MARKET TRENDS: What has changed since plan initiations,
particularly in terms of real estate and development value and
opportunities? How does this impact development feasibility?
DEVELOPMENT COMPARABLES: What does development in
other districts look like, and how does this impact the competitive
landscape to attract investment? What about development inquiries
or applications that Edina has received? Does the plan provide
direction in line with these possibilities?
PROPERTY AND BUSINESS OWNERSHIP: Have there
been any major changes in ownership in the district that may
impact potential outcomes, such as the sale and potential expansion
or downsizing of a business? Does this create or remove any
opportunities?
PERFORMANCE OF NEW DEVELOPMENT: When
development happens, is the intended outcome in line with
expectations, or does the city determine that some adjustment to
direction is needed?
SYSTEM CAPACITY ASSESSMENT: Are impacts on near- or
at-capacity systems being managed and mitigated effectively? Do
there need to be adjustments so as not to unduly burden these
systems, including identifying additional investment needed?
Proposed changes to Comprehensive Plan text are noted in red and begin on page 3-25. Comment boxes

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
3. Land Use and Community Design Chapter – Approved 08-18-20
3-2
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, should it occur, 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 by the
Metropolitan Council. 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, should such growth occur. 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 regional population is
expected to increase by 15%, households by 17%, and jobs by 12%. If regional forecasts are realized,
Edina’s population is projected to increase by 16% or 8,600, households by 24% or 5,800, and jobs 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 as an Urban community 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. There has been considerable
public discussion about the appropriate massing, height, proportions, and the architectural elements of
rebuilt homes in established neighborhoods. Those changes have been reflected in changes in city
ordinances since 2010. How the city can 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 is an ongoing
concern of the community and the Council.
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 non-motorized 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 commercial and
industrial buildings are aging and potentially obsolete, at least based on their originally intended use.
These buildings will need to be renovated, repurposed, or replaced to reflect current and future needs,
including creating a much different model for retail than in the past. Increased interest in mixed-use/live-
work scenarios also requires evaluation. 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 percentage
of city land in the park system is lower than the stated percentage 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, of which single family detached housing is the largest component.
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 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 buildings of this type 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, and serve as a buffer for adjacent single-family neighborhood 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 exterior. 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 developments 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
3. Land Use and Community Design Chapter – Approved 08-18-20
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 designated use 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 cause
transition to other types of 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 three major golf courses: Braemar Golf Course – a municipal facility – and the
private country clubs of Interlachen Country Club and Edina Country Club. 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, trunk highways
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.
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 may be needed to accommodate potential new growth within the city. Areas with
concentrations of residential density are beneficial in various other ways, such as:
• providing a customer and workforce base for commercial districts
• supporting the viability of alternative transportation modes such as transit, car share, micro
transit, and nonmotorized
• generating activity and interactions that support community placemaking
• more efficiently using existing infrastructure and public service capacity
• protecting undeveloped areas in the region from encroaching outward on development
• creating additional tax base to take some of the tax 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 such impacts. Potential impacts addressed in the
comprehensive plan include, but are not limited to:
• Multimodal transportation needs (Transportation Chapter)
• Water supply, sanitary sewer, and stormwater system 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 or a neighborhood. Additionally, variations in unit size impact units per acre
calculations. An example could be small units for senior housing or micro units that increase the number
of dwelling units per acre.
Figure 3.8 shows the distribution of housing unit density across the city, and Figure 3.9 shows
population density. Since this was based on 2010 data, it does not show development that has been
constructed and occupied since 2010. Housing and population densities follow similar patterns to overall
land uses. Almost all the single-family areas of Edina 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 from total acres the 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 home neighborhoods, they will remain single family
home neighborhoods. Greater density may occur in areas other than single-family neighborhoods.
Appropriate transitions will need to continue to be implemented for development in areas that abut
neighborhoods with single-family homes.
No area of the city is expected to 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 numbers of residents in single-family
neighborhoods and employees in commercial locations are expected to remain approximately the same.
There are areas of the city that have some 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 robust. The Greater Southdale District is the largest of these potential areas and will
be expected to accommodate a sizeable percentage of citywide growth if that growth becomes reality.
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 those respective 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. There may also 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 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

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. They are also consistent with Metropolitan Council
standards for existing and planned transit service levels, and Edina’s classification as an Urban
community.
While the system statement prepared for Edina by the Metropolitan Council identifies Edina as being
within the area of influence for the Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport (MSP). As it is within the
six nautical mile radius, this includes limitations on new landfills and wind towers, neither of which are
planned for Edina. See Appendix A for a map of airport influence areas and Chapter 5 Transportation
for more information on aviation.
The Metropolitan Council requires that Edina address aggregate resources in its comprehensive plan.
Appendix A includes a map that shows aggregate resources superimposed over future land use patterns.
Although the regional Aggregate Resources Inventory shows some former gravel mining operations
within city limits, all of these have been discontinued, and the sites have been subsequently urbanized.
There is no plan to do any further mining within Edina, so there are no potential land use conflicts.

Energy and Environment, and Chapter 13 Heritage Preservation.

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, if realized, 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 should it
occur. 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 should the Metropolitan Council
projections be realized. 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 3.910 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 79-274 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 38% 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

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.
If planned growth occurs consistent these forecasts, the net residential density of the new development
will be around 30 units per acre. This would meet expectations consistent with the Metropolitan
Council’s Urban community designation for Edina.

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
3. Land Use and Community Design Chapter – Approved 08-18-20
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
