FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Draft Plan for Wooddale/Valley View Small Area Plan
Available for Review
Edina, Minn., Feb. 4, 2015 – A draft plan for Wooddale/Valley View Small Area plan has been posted online
for comment from community members. The plan can be found at www.EdinaMN.gov/wvv. Comments are
being accepted on the Speak Up Edina website at www.SpeakUpEdina.org.
Following the comment period, a public hearing is tentatively scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 25, in the
Council Chambers of Edina City Hall, 4801 W. 50th St. The plan is tentatively scheduled to be reviewed by the
City Council 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 3, in the Council Chambers of Edina City Hall.
“We really need the community’s input,” said Assistant City Manager Karen Kurt. “Doing the small area plan is
really about learning about our residents’ vision for that area so that when a proposal does come forward,
we’re able to better evaluate the project.”
The small area plan process began in June with a meeting that introduced the process to the area residents and
businesses. A discovery workshop, held on Oct. 11, gave residents a chance to learn about the small area
planning process and share their assessment of the Wooddale/Valley View commercial area. Long-range market
trends and the economics of the area as well as future land-use scenarios were discussed at Nov. 8 Dream
Workshop. A Progress Update meeting was held on Dec. 3 at the Edina Senior Center to check in on long-
range scenarios and review foundational elements of the small area plan.
