ISSUE
City staff is preparing an application for grant funding from the Metropolitan Council's Livable
Communities Demonstration Account to assist the redevelopment of the north half of the former Genz-
Ryan site into 60 units of Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) affordable senior
rental housing and prepare the site for additional development. The application must be submitted to the
Metropolitan Council by July 1, 2013. A City Council resolution supporting the project is required with
the application.
SUMMARY

Demonstration Account (LCDA). Staff is working with Dakota County CDA staff to prepare an
application for 60 units of affordable senior housing on the northern portion of the former Genz -Ryan
site and the northern four lots on the east side of Cambrian Avenue. The exact amount of the grant
request has not been determined, but the grant is expected to assist items such as providing for an
alternative stormwater system, streetscaping including decorative lights, sidewalks and benches.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution in support the Livable Communities
Demonstration Account development grant for the Dakota County CDA affordable senior rental housing.
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT
DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 2013 -
A RESOLUTION IDENTIFYING THE NEED FOR LIVABLE COMMUNITIES
DEMONSTRATION ACCOUNT FUNDING AND AUTHORIZING AN APPLICATION FOR
GRANT FUNDS
WHEREAS the City of Rosemount is a participant in the Livable Communities Act's
Housing Incentives Program for 2013 as determined by the Metropolitan Council, and is
therefore eligible to apply for Livable Communities Demonstration Account funds; and
WHEREAS the City has identified proposed projects within the City that meets the
Demonstration Account's purposes and criteria and is consistent with and promotes the
purposes of the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act and the policies of the Metropolitan
Council's adopted metropolitan development guide; and
WHEREAS the City has the institutional, managerial and financial capability to ensure
adequate project administration; and
WHEREAS the City certifies that it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations as
stated in the grant agreement; and
WHEREAS the City agrees to act as legal sponsor for the project contained in the grant
application submitted on July 1, 2013; and
WHEREAS the City acknowledges Livable Communities Demonstration Account grants are
intended to fund projects or project components that can serve as models, examples or
prototypes for development or redevelopment projects elsewhere in the region, and therefore
represents that the proposed projects or key components of the proposed projects can be
replicated in other metropolitan -area communities; and
WHEREAS only a limited amount of grant funding is available through the Metropolitan
Council's Livable Communities Demonstration Account during each funding cycle and the
Metropolitan Council has determined it is appropriate to allocate those scarce grant funds only
to eligible projects that would not occur without the availability of Demonstration Account grant
funding; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that, after appropriate examination and due
consideration, the governing body of the City:
1. Finds that it is in the best interests of the City's development goals and priorities for the
proposed projects to occur at these particular sites at this particular time.
2. Finds that the project components for which Livable Communities Demonstration
Account funding is sought:
(a) will not occur solely through private or other public investment within the reasonably
foreseeable future; and
(b) will not occur within three years after the grant award unless Livable Communities
Demonstration Account funding is made available for these projects at this time.
3. Represents that the City has undertaken reasonable and good faith efforts to procure
funding for the project component for which Livable Communities Demonstration
Account funding is sought but was not able to find or secure from other sources funding
that is necessary for project component completion within three years and states that this
representation is based on the following reasons and supporting facts:
(a) The City expended significant funds in acquiring the land of the former Genz -Ryan
plumbing business.
(b) The City has used significant TIF funds for other redevelopment in Downtown
Rosemount (Waterford Commons — 2008 LCDA Grant).
(c) The senior housing is an underserved housing type in Rosemount as determined by a
Maxfield Market Study.
(d) The City has a 2030 Comprehensive Plan Goal to provide a mixture of rental and
home ownership opportunities to provide life cycle housing.
(e) The Dakota County Community Development Agency is committed to construct an
additional 60 units of affordable senior rental housing within Rosemount.
4. Authorizes its City Administrator to submit on behalf of the City applications for
Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Demonstration Account grant funds for the
project components identified in the application, and to execute such agreements as may
be necessary to implement the project on behalf of the City.
ADOPTED this 18'' day of June, 2013, by the City Council of the City of Rosemount.

Describe the current phase of the Project. The Project is the development or redevelopment work that
through its design and execution will deliver benefits such as housing, connections, and /or jobs to the region.
The City is working with Dakota County CDA to site an 60 -unit affordable senior housing project in the
City of Rosemount. There are 3 sites being considered. The location decision will be made in the next
few months with final design and approvals occuring throughout 2013 and construction anticipated in
2014.
The primary benefit of the project is to provide 60 affordable housng units for area seniors. Rosemount
currently has one other CDA senior housing project which has 44 units. All 3 sites are redevelopment
sites and will introduce a high density residential project into the Downtown /Hwy 3 corridor. The
outcome of redevelopment is to replace obsolete or very low residential density with a more viabrant
development pattern. Introduction of the use in the potential locations will assist adjoining commercial
development and meet Downtown Framework goals. The project will also provide and opportunity to
improve or construct public connections to public amenities, recreational uses, and commercial services.

4. Related development
A. Describe expected future phases of this development. Do not include future phases in any other response.
In one instance this project is part of the City's Downtown Redevelopment plan which envisions future phases. In another,
the project will be a catalyst to complete a financially challenged subdivision. In the final site, the senior housing is part of a
mixed use project and there will be additional residential and commercial development.
B. Describe adjacent or prior development only if it is directly related to the Project.
5. For LCDA proposals and LCA -TOD proposals
A. Describe the innovative qualities of this Project.
The senior housing project will be located within the mixed use of the Downtown or within a mixed use neighborhood. In all
locations the project is part of a redeveopment project and illustrates creative site design.
B. Explain the demonstration value of this Project.
The project will illustrate how to fit a high density affordable housing project into the larger context of a redevelopment area.
It will demonstrate how suburban development can accommodate higher density development and create a sense of place
even for a traditionally non - suburban development style.
C LCA funds are not intended to serve as gap financing. To be eligible for LCA funding, the grant award must be a catalyst to
move the Project forward. Explain specifically how LCA funds are essential for the Project to commence by 12/31/2016.
The CDA has sufficient funds to allow construction of a senior housing building. However, the City project needs amenities
to comply with the design criteria of the City's Downtown Design Framework and Design Guidelines. Street lighting, trails
and public sidewalks, public spaces and landscaping,and infrastrucuture modifications are all required.
D. Explain how the Project would change if LCA funds are not awarded.
The housing portion of the project can be constructed but it will not provide the amenities for residents or the neighborhood
desired in the Downtown /Hwy 3 corridor. Attributes anticipated for the project will elevate site design for future projects in
the area.
E. Describe the grant- funded activities, explaining how they serve as placemaking or connecting elements for the Project.
Public trails and sidewalks will connect the project to services and pedestrian amenities which benefit residents of project
and neighborhood. All project loations are on Hwy 3 and are highly visible requiring a higher level of design and sense of
place. Infrastructure modifications will allow construction of project which require altering of in -place systems.
F. Describe how the proposed Project will address LCA regional goals and the statutory requirements.
The provision of well- designed affordable, dense senior housing addressing regional goals and statutory requirements. The
locations for the project meet goals by being located along Hwy 3 in the more developed portion of the community and
represent redevelopment opportunities to increase density in the core of the community versus low or rural development
patterns that exised previously. Locations allow for transit connections to new residents of the project.
G. 1. If housing is proposed, list the total number of units included in the Project: 60
2. List the total number of housing units that will be affordable at 30 %, 50 %, and 60% AMI 60
3. Of the total number of housing units proposed, provide a breakout of the number of bedrooms per unit
