include construction of 18 units of owner occupied housing at 4404&4416 Valley View Road,
and 6108, 6112, 6116 and 6120 Kellogg Avenue.

(the vacant property on the corner of Kellogg), the row of parking for the commercial
development to the west,the vacant parcel at 6120 Kellogg and the three single-family home
parcels at 6116, 6112 and 6108 Kellogg. (See page Ala.) This portion of the development would
include a 3-story condo building with six units on the corner, and three 2-story
condo/townhome buildings to the north.
1.03 Specifically, the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is to expand the Neighborhood
Commercial District to include 6108,6112, 6116 and 6120 Kellogg Avenue.These lots are
currently guided LDR, Low Density Residential.

3. The proposed project would meet the following goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan and Valley View Wooddale Small Area Plan:
a. Movement Patterns.
• Provide sidewalks along primary streets and connections to adjacent
neighborhoods along secondary streets or walkways.
• Provide pedestrian amenities, such as wide sidewalks, street trees, pedestrian-
scale lighting,and street furnishings (benches,trash receptacles, etc.)
• A Pedestrian-Friendly Environment. Improving the auto-oriented design pattern
discussed above under "Issues" will call for guidelines that change the relationship
between parking, pedestrian movement and building placement.
b. Encourage infill/redevelopment opportunities that optimize use of City
infrastructure and that complement area, neighborhood, and/or corridor context
and character.
c. Support and enhance commercial areas that serve the neighborhoods, the City, and
the larger region.
d. Increase mixed-use development where supported by adequate infrastructure to
minimize traffic congestion, support transit, and diversify the tax base.
e. Increase pedestrian and bicycling opportunities and connections between
neighborhoods, and with other communities, to improve transportation
infrastructure and reduce dependence on the car.
f. Buildings should be placed in appropriate proximity to streets creating pedestrian
scale. Buildings "step down" at boundaries with lower-density districts and upper
stories "step back" from street.
g. 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.
i. Locate prominent buildings to visually define corners and screen parking lots.
ii. Locate building entries and storefronts to face the primary street, in addition
to any entries oriented towards parking areas.
iii. Encourage storefront design of mixed-use buildings at ground floor level,
with windows and doors along at least 50% of the front fagade.
iv. Encourage or require placement of surface parking to the rear or side of
buildings, rather than between buildings and the street.
h. Height limits near the center of the Neighborhood Node. North of Valley View
Road,building heights may be up to three stories,not to exceed 36 feet. South of
Valley View Road building heights may be up to four stories,not to exceed 48 feet.
i. Graceful Transitions to Surrounding Neighborhood. At certain specified locations at
the perimeter of the Neighborhood Node where graceful transitions to single family
• RESOLUTION NO.2017-102
• Page 3
areas are important(as specified on the Building Height Limits Plan), the height of
new buildings may be up to two stories,not to exceed 24 feet.
j. Establish universally accessible sidewalks along all edges of all spaces.
k. Plant trees along the edges of all streets and spaces to provide shade and protection
for pedestrians moving next to and in and out of buildings.
1. Gentle Transition from Node to Neighborhood. Whether the site is used for
commercial or residential development, landscaping, screening and building height
should be designed to help the building serve as an end cap for the residential block
next to Valley View Road. The building height limit in this location is two stories.
m. Encourage Underground Parking. Residents' parking should be located under the
buildings to the extent allowed by market conditions.
n. Commercial parking should be behind or along-side the buildings and be visually
buffered by plantings so as to encourage an active streetscape.

Comprehensive Plan amendment as follows,subject to Metropolitan Council approval:
