The purpose of the meeting was to bring representatives from each of the various city boards and commissions together to introduce the comprehensive planning process, collect relevant information from each group, and to foster more regular inter-group communication. Approximately 50 members from the following commissions were in attendance: • Planning Commission • Transportation Commission • Parks and Recreation Commission • Human Rights and Relations Commission • Heritage Preservation Commission • Energy and Environment Commission • Community Health Commission • Arts & Culture Commission , AL 1111 1 1 N .....---* -.01t ._ *CP .._, ,- -.. T -r. ( 1 . , , , in' _ ---• 1' •,1/4. '..) . — ._ - x ti - ..:. a, • The meeting cbegan with a presentation on the basics of comprehensive planning (e.g., purpose, . required elements, process, etc.) and an overview of the comprehensive plan update and small area plan process for the City of Edina, followed by a group question and answer session. Edina Comprehensive Plan Boards and Commissions Workshop - Meeting Summary After the group presentation, attendees participated in facilitated small group discussions with • individual commissions. The small group discussions focused on the activities of each commission and how they might feed into the comprehensive planning process. The commissions also participated in an exercise to identify areas of overlapping responsibility with the other commissions, to facilitate better inter-group coordination. Facilitators took notes and participants were asked to fill out comment forms to document the results of these discussions. Comments Participants provided verbal comments to project staff and written comments through notes on their comment forms. The common themes from the meeting are summarized below, followed by a full transcript of the comments received. Highlights • Many participants felt that the comprehensive plan update represents an opportunity to provide clear direction on the work plan for each of Edina's boards and commission; however, participants don't use the old (2008) comprehensive plan often. • The is a clear desire for the comprehensive plan to include actionable guidance to help the boards and commissions implement Edina's vision. Words like specific, quantifiable, and implementable were used to describe desired outcomes of the comprehensive plan update. • There is a sense that Edina's Comprehensive Plan should go beyond the basic requirements. There is a desire for topics like health, art, and sustainability to be incorporated throughout the plan. • There are definite areas of overlap between all of the various boards and commissions. Some commissions are better at inter-commission coordination than others, but there is a clear desire for more opportunities for this type of communication. Suggestions include regular staff level updates on commission agendas, regular (perhaps quarterly) "all commission" workshops, and regular appointed liaisonships with other commissions. 1144 4e, Aro 1141 • -Page 2- t __ r Edina Comprehensive Plan Boards and Commissions Workshop - Meeting Summary • Verbal comments • Participants as questions on the purpose of a comprehensive plan and asked how it is evaluated. It was suggested that the comprehensive plan should by quantifiable. • Members of the Planning Commission expressed frustration with how Southdale has developed to this point and hoped they could improve on the direction of development with the Southdale Small Area plan. • A member of the Planning Commission considered the 7700 France Development a failure and was caused by the developer being able to out-muscle the commission due to a weak comprehensive plan from 2008. • Members of the Human Rights Commission acknowledged that Edina commissions tend to work in silos. They came up with an idea to have each person on their commission assigned as liaison to one other commission and attend that commission's meeting monthly. • The human Rights Commission does not currently have a chapter of their own and felt like they should. As it stood, they felt like an afterthought in the comprehensive planning process. Human rights and life-long learning should be included in the comprehensive plan update. • One member of the Community Health Commission expressed issues with data and wanted more specificity in their work as well as in the Comprehensive Plan. • Members of the Transportation Commission felt that new technologies such as autonomous cars, congestion, and integration of their plan were three of the most important issues that they will be faced with in the coming years. • One participant was surprised that there was no resilience chapter in the plan update. • One participant felt the old comprehensive plan is missing alternative business models for implementing the plans. • Written comments Participants were given a worksheet where they were asked to take notes on the projects and priorities of their commission before sharing in a small group discussion. A reporter for each board and commission was chosen to share the top three highlights of their small group discussion with the larger group. Commissions were also asked to share any areas where their board or commission may overlap with other boards and commissions that were identified during the discussion. Finally, all participants were given a space where they could write down any other comments they wanted to share with the project team. Worksheets were collected at the end of the meeting and the written comments received are listed below. Issues Overlap • Transportation overlaps with many areas: where people live and work, transportation infrastructure near water and environment, health-air quality, and recreational opportunities, etc. Transportation heavily overlaps with Planning, Parks, and Arts and Culture. • Energy & Human Rights overlap on desires for a bus circulator and passenger rail. • Transportation over laps with Energy and Environment when trying to get people to reduce their car use, Parks when encouraging residents to walk/bike to parks, Planning for infrastructure for biking and walking, neighborhood transport in redevelopment, and parking. • Temporary Family Health Care Dwellings (TFHD) overlap with Planning, Health, Promotion (Parks & Rec), Transportation (Isolation, mental-social well-being), and access to healthy food. • Living Streets policies overlap with Transportation, Health, and Energy and Environment. -Page 3- 1 Edina Comprehensive Plan Boards and Commissions Workshop - Meeting Summary • The development of green space and recreation areas such as Braemar and Fred Richards overlaps with all commissions. Reliance on Comp Plan • This is the first I've heard of the Comp Plan. It is very hard to find on the City's website. • My commission hasn't referred much to 2008 Comp Plan and that they rely more on Living Streets. • The 2008 plan is seen as something the developers own. • I use it all the time. • We as the planning commission do not use the comp plan as often as we should. We rely heavily upon city staff to frame the relevant items in the comp plan but each commissioner should be individually more accountable to knowing its contents. Top of Wish List • I want a better/faster/bigger bike and pedestrian network. • I want data and to see what measurable success looks like regarding usage of other modes of transport. • I think car traffic dampening could be better used on major arteries and less in neighborhoods. I would also like to see much better bikeways that are safe for all levels of bikers. • I would like to see Comprehensive Wellness and Data incorporated into the Comp Plan. • I would like to see GIS and an Environmental review trigger. • I would like to see GIS, outreach education, and a built basis from workplan. • I would like to see a new art center, and public art integrated as a solution to connecting nodes, promoting healthy lifestyles, parks, 1% development, economic viability, resilience, and equity and human rights. • I want to see guidelines on how to preserve the best of our housing stock, neighborhoods, and on how to get different, affordable housing stock—not just apartment buildings and ever-increasing single family homes. • I want the Comp Plan to incorporate all the various commissions' plans and needs. • I want the Comp Plan to feature prioritization and budget guidelines. Desired Outcome • I hope the Comp Plan has a vision for future of city and a basis for workplans going forward. • I want it to be specific and quantifiable • I want a more city owned document. • I hope it is a rational and clearly-expressed plan, applicable, and that the ties between the Comp Plan and commissions is clear. • I want to see environmental sustainability incorporated into everything. • I want the Comp Plan to have integrated functions. • It needs to be useable. • I want it to have clear guidance to new developers. • I want our Comp Plant to have approval from the Met Council and to help make Edina a great city to live in illegible 21st century. • I want it to have firm guidance on park & rec needs and budget equipment. Most Important • I serve on the transportation commission. We advise on the multimodal changes that Edina aspires to make to roads, trails, etc. I think Edina citizens are excited by light • rail but may not connect to it. We originally were started to deal with congestion. We think it will significantly worsen the way we are increasing density. We need to work -Page 4- Edina Comprehensive Plan Boards and Commissions Workshop - Meeting Summary . with border communities to connect our citizens to light rail and regional bicycle trails. WE also want to lead on recommending how MSP communities are transformed by autonomous cars. We rarely use the 2008 comp plan, but city transportation planners do. • I want to see passenger rail in Edina • Art is essential to a community. We need collaboration. communication, and accessibility and to understand what is at stake. • The Comp Plan is an important tool for building our annual work plan. We need it for landmark zoning and integration with land use planning. It should focus on GIS, visioning, and use benchmarks to measure accomplishments. It should also identify historic resources, and aim to preserve, protect, and encourage proper stewardship of these resources. • The Comp Plan should identify, document, and preserve the resources we have. The best form of sustainability is preservation; look at the National Parks' Preservation "Tool Kit", Landmark Zoning, and College of the Atlantic (COA). • It should consider how we deal with climate change and what our sustainable principles are, how do we hold ourselves accountable, and how we implement a specific budget. I also want to see the comp plan talk about the HR Job description, the circular economy, water and energy re-use, environmental justice; our section connection; and work plans and how it links to the work plans. • The Comp Plan should have a foundational vision for Edina with a flexible means of achieving goals. • The Comp Plan should be connected, cohesive, timeless, and authentic. • It should have specificity with timelines and quantifiable "targets." • It should be strategic and forward looking. S Other • Mitigation banks are a mechanism for creating incentives for providing environmental services. • At France Ave & Xerxes Ave, Edina was really let down by the county. The two streets are our front door and the county went out of their way to let them stay unattractive — and we let them! • The trammel crow sketch review could really have used guidance. • Dan C said, "So that the values of the community come through in the plan." With that in mind, what are the values of the community? • What have other similar cities done with/for Arts & Culture? • Use "circular economy" as a model for using things and then recovering and regenerating them. Have environmental considerations, resilience, and sustainability cross all aspects of community planning and growth. Make sure human rights and relations are consistent with city goals and getting the right people that are concerned about things involved at the right time. Make communications and outreach a priority. Avoid the church preaching to the choir. • Staff as well as the boards and commissions are in a natural position to cross-fertilize. Be strategic and incorporate diversity into the Plan. A sub-committee could be used to work with developers before going to Planning Commission. Commissions could have a one day retreat. Are city council members present at this meeting? • My preferences are for the Comp Plan to incorporate small area plans, smart multimodal transit networks, connectivity (especially to parks), and lifetime learning. • -Page 5- • Edina Comprehensive Plan Boards and Commissions Workshop - Meeting Summary Discussion Highlight (Large Group Read Out) III -,.___, ,,,.., „....,,,,,,,,..-„,„2,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,„ ,„:, - --_,...!, ,.. ,,,,,,„...„,„.,,,, ,,,, ,,,,, ,..s. ,g" .t..., Ill,'QMFP ' PL vti - 4 , `' Pi" L 4 _.,..., ,_ ..._, zi i ---- - � fr;,,,_ , a , . ...... 1 _ ---t; - Top 3 Highlights • The Comp Plan needs an executive summary for each chapter with clear goals or initiatives for the 10-year period. It should include chapter summaries that come out of other commission/small area plans. Congestion on Edina roads lead to growing and creating less healthy, less multimodal transport. • • We need integration with other commissions. We are concerned with the future of the Edina Arts Center (it's thriving, can't even meet current demand). We want to professionalize and formalize assistance to other commissions and see partnerships with local arts organizations, big and small. • We want to see health incorporated into all policies. integration and collaboration between commissions • The executive summary should highlight major initiatives and link to the first chapter overview. The plan should address new technologies in transportation, density, congestion, multimodal transportation and transportation integration with other cities, • We are concerned about quality art experiences: In museum or in arts facilities and on the streets, as part of everyday life, creating a sense of place, pride, connecting us to one another. Public Art beyond sculpture! • We want to see integration of arts and culture into all parts of the comp plan. The comp plan should be meaningful and powerful for creating vibrancy and health and should foster a sense of place and pride. The process should engage with development projects in a more disciplined formalized approach. In the center of Edina itself, demand outstrips supply. The comp planning process ideal time to consider location and connectivity. • We want to see sustainability, resiliency, and the environment in everything. (these are three different things); future business models should consider paying for/recovering costs of incorporating these things. Sustainability builds the case for many things other boards want. Sustainable businesses and cities are thriving and growing faster than ever. Consider the lifecycle of things and the circular economy where there is a connection between resources and environmental areas. III -Page 6- Edina Comprehensive Plan Boards and Commissions Workshop - Meeting Summary • Areas of Overlap between Boards and Commissions • Each commission plan begins with a quantitative/qualitative bullet list of goals (or executive summary). Commissions should plan regular meetings on topics where they overlap. • There is overlap with Health and the Community Health board (City Council), Planning (TFHD), Transportation (an aging of population, isolation, mental/social well-being, and access to services and resources), and parks and recreation (equitable access to programs and greenspace). • Transportation overlaps with planning when considering redevelopment, parks and recreation when moving for recreation, and everyone else when considering how to get to important places. • Parks and recreation see overlap with everyone when considering the integration of green space and the development of places such as Fred Richards and Braemar into the community. • Human rights and relations see an overlap with all commissions including planning when thinking about affordable housing and with transportation when considering how people get to important places. • Heritage preservation sees an overlap with everyone when considering the small area plans. • Arts and culture sees an overlap with everyone when integrating arts and culture into the community considering development and with development. /././ err i' 1 / ...—�.1' ..,M • It would make sense to identify the primary values which help provide guidance to the commissions with big picture direction. • Art is essential, it's not a "we'll add some on at the end." Art builds community, bridges differences. • Consider the integration of senior housing with day care facilities. • • I would like to see a separate guidebook companion to the comp plan for each commission. -Page 7- IMENMENNIMMONMEN i,6S. ..

Do not allow any land use/development that reduces water quality; ideally require improvement. Bike sharing and electric car sharing should be highly encouraged. -Page 2- Edina Comprehensive P/an Boards and commissions Workshop Plan • Energy independence. r Easel Comments ;. • Put land deck over 62 to connect neighborhoods. ,,k� laid dict over (�2 • Vision, infrastructure, and principles for «,-4 vufcikbo,ho� incorporating community arts and cultural +++ 1tfi#i,4„ " ,activities. \j 1561\Z„A-nSi-4,,,i ,t w ; • Arts and life-long learning.

All demographic socioeconomic, race and age cohorts should be involved. Older adults need more choices than rental, luxury, multifamily. I want a very small energy efficient house to own. Or row houses around a courtyard in a neighborhood. • Refreshing old spaces in Edina such as Southdale parking lot-seems underused. Also bring as many different types of people into process as possible. • "Transportation. Utilize existing infrastructure like rail line to support density." • In the coming 10-20 years, a major effort is needed to enable residents, workers, and visitors to be able to have pedestrian access (winter/summer, sunshine, rain or snow) across major thoroughfares (France Ave, Hwy 62, York, and so on). This will make Edina an appealing city that works! • A cross-section of the city should be involved, all levels of society. All are important and essential to the others." • There should be a process for connecting with and engaging business leaders who live or work in Edina. • Publish the data trail that supports plan direction and implementation. Where the plan addresses an inconsistency with citizen input, explain it. Leaders can make decisions contrary to a majority view, but it must be supported with a view of the future that makes sense. Don't shy away from controversy, rather use it to highlight important discussions. • Youth-come to middle and high schools to hear their vision for Edina. What do they want in a place they would live in 10 years from now? Postcards • I hope Edina still has an understanding vibrant place for people to live, work and grow. • Edina is fully interconnected, multimodal, varied of housing, people, live, work, play. Welcome to all. -Page 4- Edina Comprehensive Plan Boards and Commissions Workshop Plan • Edina remains a leader in environmental conservation and renewable energy. } � • Edina will continue to be a city of walkable `' neighborhoods with home of a range of right ' value and with more affordable housing forII ' 3` those who bring a richness to our community ti � is/ ' but are not wealthy. � I ' • I have hope that Edina aggressively aspires to , I I inspire.

Southdale Mall is —'�' four stories and includes lodging and housing. .a: .1 • Education was key. We taught and trained our youth through adults and they stayed here! Finally, we built housing to keep them here for r life! Our leaders also saw that we needed housing for all. Live work play and stay! • Dear Mindy, so great to be back in the old neighborhood again and how things have i" changed.Those big houses now have multiple families, and with the great transportation options and all the biking and walking those extra garage stalls have been converted into extended-family apartments. All the gardening is also beautiful to see. More later! M. • Dear Progeny, I love how I can bike throughout the city, running errands, shopping, and meeting friends at a restaurant.The separated bikeways feel so safe. And when I want to go to the museum and live theatre in Southdale, I can take the France Ave streetcar.The cast/wrought iron gateway sign welcoming SWLRT riders from St. Louis Park stops to Morningside really feels like you're entering an urban village at 44th and France Ave. I'm writing from my new four-plex that I own on 44th Street that I downsized into after retirement, I love that both large developers and small are welcome. Station 3: Housing and Health Station 3 featured a series of boards and two exercises: a mason jar voting exercise to quantify housing priorities and a dot exercise to look at community health priorities. Written comments and exercise results are summarized below • Affordable single family homes • More variety in types of housing- side by side townhouses, row houses, accessory dwellings on same lot, condos/apartments with on-site work(cowork)spaces and services, affordable single- family homes too, not just affordable apartments. -Page 5- Edina comprehensive Plan Boards and Commissions Workshop Plan • Affordable rental and ownership units-- co- housing (a few), smaller condo units in neighborhoods.

Move away from storm sewers connected directly to our lakes and ponds. • Hire a single trash-recycling company. Charge residents on their utility bill. Station 4: Urban Design and Parks & Open space Station 4 featured boards and an interactive model-building visioning exercise focused on collecting input on urban design. Comments and results from the exercises are summarized below. Comment—, • Turn parks into true nodes--beef up amenities(add shade, community centers, splash pads)to attract young new families. • They could have small coffee houses, wine gardens, gathering places. • I am the executive director of Edina Historical Society add one of our organization's long term goals is to move to 50th and Wooddale and have a new structure built there which could house us and possibly some other arts related organizations as well as Cahill School and Grange Hall. • Speed up replacement of warming houses at parks. Put skyways in at Southdale connecting to hospital and east/west across France Ave and Xerxes Ave. " • Bike and walking trails connecting the wonderful parks (as difficult as that will be). • The redesign of Fred Richards is a critical project. In 30 years, it would be nice to see Fred Richards equated with Central Park NYC in that both make the surrounding areas more livable. It needs to be a quiet respite not an area shared with loud organized sporting events. -Page 8- Edina Comprehensive Plan Boards and Commissions Workshop Pian • Unstructured play space. Keep Weber Woods wild. Warming house buildings that double as space for neighborhood meetings. , Urban Design Model-Building Exercise Participants were asked to build a model of Edina 20 years from now showing where they will live, work, and play using model pieces placed on a map of the city.They were asked to consider building form and density, trees and open space, and water features. Participants were also given an opportunity to write about what they built on a small, hand-held white board.The results are shown in the photos below. i v r 4r 1 , 'i 1 i r a ' I _ , , • I tsi Z �l _` ' , r_ +r ° a i " t �" .. er.r' (mSwC ' '• ... .arm ' • • • s ;; it , _ ,,,, . . , ,i ' - -: - . , j , , ,. ....., 111110 �.

MIN al • Public Sector? o Keep focus on living streets and walkability o [Maintain] parks, trails, and public spaces o [Keep] learning—all the time and everywhere • Private Sector? o Give to get o Make places for public art • Development? o Connected o Require developers to set aside space for public art • Redevelopment? o Connected o Take advantage of existing Buildings to least incubate sphere for small entrepreneurs. • Housing? o More affordable housing o Policies and ordinances to protect naturally occurring affordable housing o Assure redevelopment or new development includes affordability o Co-housing o In all multi-family buildings, encourage art, culture and lifelong learning o More co-working arrangements for living and working • Connections? o Improve transportation at 50th and France. Too many traffic jams. o Build in opportunities to improve social connections for low income neighbors and community o Pedestrians need many ways to cross over France Ave in the Southdale area o The city can impact transportation net. Works beyond most other areas. Commit to connecting S.A.'s, surrounding communities through biking, walking and learning. -Page 12- Edina Comprehensive Plan Boards and Commissions Workshop Plan o At transportation intersections, build or encourage learning/art opportunities—sculptures, murals, monuments o Improve multimodal opportunities • Other? o Energy and transportation are perhaps the two most rapidly changing industries. If we can focus on leadership in these areas we can assist the success in all other areas. Attempt a vision for the Edina of 2100. compare the 2018 Comp Plan to 2100 to refine both. o The future generations will react strongly to inspiration. Make them know the city cares to inspire them everywhere they go through commitment to multimodal living streets, educational/sustainable/health signage/art along the way.The city can drive this without private investments through: o beautifying existing parks and promoting lifelong learning there, o connecting to nature and other communities, o capitalizing on water features in our parks, and through sustainable development commitment, like adopting a green building code Other Comments • I'm very concerned Edina will follow the national trend towards increasing socioeconomic segregation. That is detrimental to civil society and democracy and will exacerbate already high levels of inequality that are unsustainable. • Thanks for doing this work and for inviting us into the process! • Density is growing. Need big transportation investment in order to deal with it. Look at streetcars to connect Southdale to airport or Mall of America. Work with Bloomington and Richfield." • Create an architectural review board. • Connection of all areas of Edina to.Metro Transit by bike, foot, or mini-bus. • I think a plausible Edina of 2100 should be created against which the 2018 Comp Plan can be reflected. If there are elements of the 2018 plan that can't exist in a plausible 2100, those elements should be more closely examined. It might change the Edina 2100, but that's ok.Transportation is one example of what will change dramatically.There are others, but a longer-range view should help us better understand the 30-year view. • -Page 13- EDINA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN• 44TH & FRANCE - SMALL AREA PLAN WORK GROUP Meeting 1 Date/time/location • Monday, May 15, 2017 • 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. • Weber Park Building (4115 Grimes Ave S, Edina, MN 55416) Purpose • Provide SAPWG with an overview of the process and expectations • Present a general project overview • Begin initial conversation of issues and opportunities Agenda • Welcome/Introductions (10 min) • • Comprehensive plan and small area plan background (5 min) • Vision 2015 and Bridging/Big Ideas workshop (10 min) • Group Discussion (10 min) o Any comments/reactions/questions? o Is there anything here that surprises you? o What are you most excited about? • SAP work plan review (10 min) o SAP work plan handout o Discuss first community event (mid-June) • Venue/date • Promotion • Content • Linden Hills Neighborhood Small Area Plan (15 min) • Issues and opportunities exercise (15 min) • Wrap-up and next steps (15 minutes) o Do you see what I see? - exercise o Post card exercise o Next meeting (week of 5/29) • Page Intentionally Left Blank • •. rte,,, :11.0®/` ,,,.

Comprehensive plan and small area plan background The consultant team provided an overview of the comprehensive plan process. 3. Vision 2015 and Bridging/Big Ideas workshop The consultant team provided an overview of the vision and big ideas efforts. 4. Group Discussion • The group discussed the purpose of a comprehensive plan and the reason the planning commission often considers variances. A comprehensive plan document tries to anticipate the future, but things change, • which sometimes necessitates variances. The comprehensive plan update will seek to minimize the need for variances by building in enough flexibility to accommodate changes. • One resident in attendance asked that SAPWG members try to put themselves in the position of residents directly adjacent to the study area. For example, a new restaurant might be a great idea for the rest of the community, but might create parking and noise issues for residents. • SAPWG members discussed their desires for the area, including new restaurants and retail, and enhanced • pedestrian lighting. 5. SAP work plan review • The consultant team presented the anticipated SAP work plan.

The report summarizes outcomes from these two events and identifies a process that will be put in place during a study to prepare the city's 2018 comprehensive plan update to ensure that the Big Ideas will be given consideration in the plan. • Background Comprehensive Planning in the Twin Cities Communities in the Twin Cities metropolitan area are required by statute to update their comprehensive plans every ten years. Traditionally, a community's comprehensive plan, based on a shared community vision and goals, outlines growth and development policies and describes what, where, and by how much a community will grow...and, as importantly, where growth will not occur. Local comprehensive plans, which provide communities with a foundation to support defensible land use decision making, land use regulations, and building codes, can also include urban design guidelines to help define the desired design and appearance of districts and new developments. Within the Twin Cities metropolitan area, completed comprehensive plans are approved and adopted by local governments. The plans are also reviewed for adequacy by the Twin Cities Metropolitan Council, the metropolitan area's regional planning agency. As such, the Council is charged with planning and coordinating the growth and development of the seven-county metropolitan area. Its review of local comprehensive 11111 EOINA ; IvSION COMPREHENSIVE �.c,r, PLAN Page 1 • plans is largely focused on determining how a local community's growth plans will impact regional systems (e.g., transportation, sanitary sewer and water treatment, water systems, and regional parks) and whether a local community's plans are aligned with an overall framework that is provided in regional plans. Thus, comprehensive plans in the metropolitan area have two purposes. They are tools for local governments to use in planning for their communities, and they are tools the Council uses to ensure that regional systems can be provided to communities in the metropolitan area in a planned and cost efficient manner. Without a defined community vision, potential exists that a community's comprehensive plan, while adequately addressing regional concerns, could fail to adequately address its own local concerns. Edina's Current Comprehensive Planning As mentioned, a community's comprehensive plan is fundamentally built • on a shared community vision and goals, and initial steps in accepted, comprehensive planning processes include community outreach activities designed to define community members' vision for the Future. Thus, it is a community's shared vision and support for the vision that permit a comprehensive plan to assert an overall direction for growth and development. Future iQ's Vision Edina 2015: The City of Edina in 2014 contracted Future iQto prepare Vision Edina, a series of documents that articulated a vision for the city and outlined a long-term strategic framework that lays out key issues identified by Edina's community members. The visioning process used by Future iQ included extensive community outreach activities (focus group meetings, community-wide surveys, think tank meetings, community meetings, etc.) and demonstrated wide spread community support for the vision and strategic framework. Eight strategic focus areas were identified in Vision Edina: 411 ipp.; EDINACOMPREHENSIVE vsioI ec + PLAN Page 2 • • Residential Development Mix • Transportation Options • Commercial Development Mix • Live and Work ■ Educational Focus ■ Population Mix • Environmental Stewardship • Regional Leadership Vision Edina established the stakeholders' desire to pursue a preferred Future of"Nodes and Modes," an effort to maintain and enhance the characteristics and fabric of Edina while embracing balanced urban renewal. The central part of this preferred Future is the focus on unique nodes that represent the character and Future goals of each neighborhood with highly connected modes of transportation between them. Biko Associates' 2018 Comprehensive Plan Update: The Biko Associates consultant team was contracted in January 2017 to update the 2008 comprehensive plan. Per instructions in the city's Request for Proposals (RFP), the Biko Associates team submitted a proposal that did not include extensive visioning exercises, because a community-supported vision had already been developed and documented in 2015 by Future iQ. Instead, the team's proposal described steps that would be taken to work with Small Area Plan Work Groups in each of three small areas (44th/France, 50th/France, and 70th/Cahill)to determine how the city-wide vision from 2015 might be applied. Bridging the Vision and Comprehensive Planning With Edina's vision document already two years old, there was a desire to give community members and the comprehensive planning process an opportunity to revisit Vision Edina and provide additional opportunities to define a Future vision for the city. There was further concern that because the 2008 comprehensive plan was prepared without a Vision Edina-type, community-supported vision and unified direction, critical • EDINA ,io� COMPREHENSIVE" 21Z41 PLAN Page 3 • support needed to adopt a Future-oriented and visionary version of the plan was lacking-- and, as a result, some elements of the plan were modified (weakened) in order to gain support and adoption. Thus, it was determined by the Edina Council that Vision Edina should be revisited in two workshops in order to ensure a bridge between the city's vision and the 2018 comprehensive plan update.

The all-day session was divided into two parts. Part I The first part, an early meeting, was held to map the Big Ideas that had been developed at the April 19 Big Ideas Workshop. Three mapping exercises were completed, and each was followed by a discussion where participants were able to comment on outcomes from the mapping and report on observations. The three mapping exercises were: 1. Where is important to me in Edina? (I.e., identify nodes) 111 2. How do I travel to important places? (I.e., identify modes) 3. Where Big Ideas should be implemented? (I.e., where are opportunity sites, where are opportunities to link Big Ideas, and does this reinforce Edina's Future vision?) The three mapping exercises were completed on a 25 foot-long by 20 foot-wide map of the city that was printed on a durable fabric and taped to the floor in the city's Public Works Department Building. (See the attached hyper-link https://voutu.be/X8hZ8m9m8h4) Part ll The second part included a discussion that was held among design and planning professionals, residents, Planning, Commission members, and staff. The planning consultants who have begun preparing the city's 2018 comprehensive plan update requested the post-mapping discussion to help bring clarity to their work tasks and ensure that there would be a physical framework on which Big Ideas could be implemented throughout the city and discussed in the comprehensive plan. • EDINA i nsioN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 13 Mapping Edina's Big Ideas Workshop III Agenda Saturday,April 22, 2017 8:00 Doors open,social hour 9:00 Welcome, Introductions,and Purpose Cary Teague, City of Edina and Bill Smith, Biko Associates 9:15 Recap Big Ideas Workshop David Buerle, Future iQ 9:30 Post-It Mapping Exercise 1: Nodes— Where is important to me in Edina? - My home - Places I haunt(shop,get coffee,meet friends,entertainment) - Where I work or attend school - Recreational places or systems I use 10:00 Observations on important places 10:20 Yarn Mapping Exercise 2: Modes — How do I travel to important places: - Light green for existing walking/running/biking recreational trails - Dark green for desired walking/running/biking recreational trails - Light yellow for the existing bike network(on-street or commuter— separate from more exclusively recreational trails) - Orange for desired bike network - Light blue for existing transit - Dark blue for desired transit - Black for motor vehicle - Pink for sidewalks and pedestrian systems - Red for critical gaps in any of the above networks 10:50 Observations on transportation modes 11:10 Post-It Mapping Exercise 3: How should Edina evolve,and how can this evolution incorporate the Big • Ideas you explored on Wednesday?White Post-Its with written descriptions: - What are the best opportunities for change? - Where should they be located and why? - How do they reinforce Vision Edina? - Why is this important to Edina's Future? 11:40 Observations on the relationships physical nodes and modes and Edina's Big Ideas 12:00 Invitation to return for Pin-Up at 3:00 Cary Teague Policy, Project and Design Discussion 12:00 Lunch break and discussion CPTF,Staff, Urban Design Team - Big Ideas contribution to the Comprehensive Plan update - Policies - Projects , 1:00 Urban Design Team illustrations 2:45 Prepare for Pin-Up 3:00 Pin-Up presentation 4:00 Adjourn 41111 EUINA ti COMPREHENSIVE ... ,, PLAN UPnATE Page 14 • "Where is Important to me in Edina?" 1. The majority of nodes are located in the eastern quadrants of the city. Fewer are located in the western quadrants. 2. The important places are known activity centers. 3. The most active nodes are five of the six small areas that are being addressed in the comprehensive plan. 70th/Cahill, one of the six small areas, is not widely viewed as a high activity center. 4. The schools are recognized as important places. 5. How does the city's changing demographics impact the identification of important places? 6. Churches (houses of worship) are also important places where people gather. 7. Opportunities to increase the number of live/work uses should be place-based. 8. What are the engines for change in Edina? • 9. The northwest quadrant is an area with large lots. Residents in this quadrant cannot walk to many places. Is this the way they want to live....without a node, gathering place, or activity center? "How do I Travel to Important Places?" 1. The major transportation mode is driving. Is this the way we want to be? 2. It's a big city; 4 miles by 4-1/2 miles. Travelling across the city is not easy without a car. 3. How do people travel within the four quadrants? How do people travel across quadrants? 4. Our city has been cut apart by the highways (TH 100 and TH 62). It is not possible to get to other places without travelling (sometimes) out of the way to get to an overpass. 5. There aren't lots of transit routes. Those that the city has are very good at providing transportation service. There should be more routes, however. lopS EDINA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 15 • 6. The Southwest LRT should have a station at TH 169/Valley View Road. 7. The streets that are county roads are problematic: they function to carry lots of traffic and there isn't much room left over for other functions like bikes. France is an example. 8. There should be more inter-quadrant connectors in Edina. Observations from "Where should Big Ideas be Implemented and How are the Big Ideas Related?" 1. Because of our aging population, the housing needs of the Future will change. 2. Health care clinics and child care facilities could be physically combined in community centers. All of these should be accessible to all travel modes. • 3. The Promenade should be extended north of TH 62. 4. Grandview should have a freeway lid. 5. The Zoning Code should be modified to allow pocket neighborhoods with several bungalows on a parcel. 6. Each neighborhood should have a community-specific, community defined activity center. 7. A circulator transit service is needed to connect the nodes. 8. Streets should be complete for all types of users. 9. Parks and park buildings could be expanded and redeveloped to meet neighborhood needs. 10. Large buildings should be energy self-sufficient with solar and green roofs. The Physical Framework for Implementing Big Ideas in the Comprehensive Plan Presented on page 18 is a City of Edina aerial base map that shows each of the city's neighborhoods. The map shows that the city is divided into four quadrants that are defined by north/south Trunk Highway (TH) 100 and east/west TH 62 (aka Crosstown Highway); Quadrant 1—Northwest EDINA COMPREHENSIVE ,E�"�. PLAN Page 16 Edina, Quadrant 2—Northeast Edina, Quadrant 3 -- Southeast Edina, and Quadrant 4—Southwest Edina. The map identifies the following physical features that form a framework for incorporating Big Ideas in the comprehensive plan. ■ Six existing small areas (activity centers/nodes): - 44th/France - 50th/France - Grandview - Wooddale/Valley View - 70th/Cahill - Southdale ■ Three potential small areas for Future consideration: - Bredesen Park - Expanded 70th/Cahill - Pentagon Park S .• Parks and Nine Mile Creek ■ Golf courses • Recreation destinations ■ Canadian Pacific Rail alignment IN Southwest LRT alignment ■ TH 100 and TH 62 with adjacent pedestrian and bicycle paths • Pedestrian and bicycle lids over TH 100 and TH 62 to re-connect the city's four quadrants ■ Conceptual parkway(Edina Grand Rounds) alignment that forms a ring around the city and a ring within each quadrant In support of the fundamental element of Edina's future development, e existing and potential Future small areas and recreation destinations (nodes) are linked by the parkway system (pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes).

PLAN Page 20 Proposed Process for Incorporating Big Ideas in the Comprehensive Plan Community Engagement Community engagement activities will be conducted throughout the comprehensive planning process. These events can be divided into two categories -- 1) events that will take place during three small area planning studies and 2) events that will take place as the city-wide comprehensive plan update is being prepared. Small Area Planning Engagement Activities: Each of the three small area planning processes will include direct and close involvement with a Work Group and three community meetings. Findings from Edina's 2015 vision study will be reviewed for each small area with Work Group members and community members at community meetings. Community members will be asked to provide input on how the city-wide vision applies to their particular small area. In addition, the Big Ideas workshop activities will be explained, and community members will be asked to contribute additional Big Ideas, which will be added to the already existing list (see pages 15 through 20). The three small area planning processes are anticipated to extend from mid-May 2017 to mid-May 2018. City-Wide Comprehensive Planning Update: Work on the city-wide comprehensive plan update has already begun with the consultant team working to update chapters of the 2008 plan in areas where outreach and engagement are not required. For example, the demographic analyses, which will be included in the Community Character Chapter of the plan, have already been completed. Outreach and engagement activities will begin in earnest in the spring of 2018. These activities will include pop-up events at locations where community members gather; e.g., shopping venues and community EDINA ,jv ior+ COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 21 • festivals. Opportunities will be provided for community members to contribute to the list of Big Ideas at these events. Comprehensive Plan Task Force and Commissions All information learned by the consulting team during its community engagement activities will be brought to the Comprehensive Plan Task Force (CPTF). In activities that are focused on an evaluation against preliminary screening criteria ,the CPTF will determine which of the Big Ideas should be eliminated from further discussion and which should be retained and brought to the attention of the commissions, with whom they meet monthly. It is proposed that the CPTF members will then share information about the list of retained Big Ideas with their respective commissions and conduct a second screening (with their commissions) to determine how • the retained Big Ideas measure against established evaluation criteria. Based on their performance, the commissions will help CPTF members by letting them know which Big Ideas they can support as candidates for inclusion in the comprehensive plan. Following their meetings with their respective commissions, CPTF members will participate in larger discussions at their monthly workshop meeting with the comprehensive plan consultants. It is proposed that, at this level,the CPTF members will jointly agree on the Big Ideas that should be included in the plan. The evaluation criteria for the preliminary evaluation should be taken from the city's mission and vision statements and city adopted goals taken from Vision Edina. The evaluation criteria for the second evaluation should be taken from goals that have already been developed by the commissions to guide and direct their work. EDINA • ITTA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 22 • The final discussion and decision to include or not include a Big Idea in the comprehensive plan should consider a number of evaluation criteria, including: ■ Affordability ■ Costs and benefits ■ Opportunity costs ■ Environmental consequences and impacts ■ Implementation feasibility ■ Public acceptance • • EDINA IvGioN w` COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 23
