The subject property includes six parcels with the following land uses: • 2837 11th Ave S – single-family dwelling • 2843 11th Ave S – vacant parcel • 2839 11th Ave S – contractor’s yard and storage building • 2834 12th Ave S – two-family dwelling • 2836 12th Ave S – vacant parcel • 2840 12th Ave S – four-unit multiple-family dwelling SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND NEIGHBORHOOD. The properties are located between 11th and 12th Avenues South, just north of the Midtown Greenway. There are a range of low- to very high-density residential uses to the east and south of the site and a mix of commercial, healthcare and public services uses along Chicago Ave S to the west. PROJECT DESCRIPTION. The applicant is seeking amendments to the Minneapolis 2040 Plan in order to allow for development of a 5-story, multifamily residential building that will provide 86 units of housing for families and individuals at a mix of income ranges – 30%, 50% and 60%, of the Area Median Income (AMI). The project will also designate 11 units for people experiencing homelessness. The applicant is seeking to amend the comprehensive plan’s future land use designation for 2839 11th Ave S from Production Mixed Use to Urban Neighborhood and to amend the built form designation for the properties located at 2837-2843 11th Ave S and 2834-2840 12th Ave S from Interior 3 to Corridor 6. The comprehensive plan amendment is necessary to allow for the future rezoning and land use applications required to allow for the proposed five-story residential building. The City’s Comprehensive Plan, Minneapolis 2040, was adopted by the City Council in 2019 and effective on January 1, 2020. Any city can apply to the Metropolitan Council to make amendments to their comprehensive plan. In Minneapolis, applications are made by CPED and can occur in two ways. First, CPED can apply to the Metropolitan Council for an amendment on the City’s own behalf. These amendments if approved by the City Planning Commission and the City Council. Second, if necessary, property owners and their designees can apply to CPED for changes to the comprehensive plan based on proposed development. In such cases, CPED applies to the Metropolitan Council on behalf of the developer only when the Planning Commission and the City Council first approve the amendment. This application is the third to be reviewed by the City Planning Commission since the adoption of Minneapolis 2040. An application for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment follows a similar process to other land use applications, with one key difference. Like a rezoning request, a public hearing will be held during a City Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council, and the Council will make the final decision. Unlike a rezoning request, the City Council is not the last stop in the process. If the City Council chooses to approve the applicant’s request, the City then files a Comprehensive Plan Amendment application with the Metropolitan Council in support of the Applicant’s request. If the City Council denies the request, the City will not submit an application to the Metropolitan Council and the Comprehensive Plan is not amended. Like any planning effort, stakeholder outreach and participation are essential to create stronger communities. Minneapolis 2040 reflects the result of over three years of engagement with the people of Minneapolis, including over 150 meetings and conversations with thousands of residents, business owners, and community members. 2 Department of Community Planning and Economic Development PLAN12459 Beyond the public hearing at the City Planning Commission meeting, the applicant was required to conduct public outreach and engagement to raise awareness about the proposed comprehensive plan amendment and actively prepare stakeholders to engage and provide feedback on the application. The applicant held a community meeting on March 23, 2021. Additionally, Midtown Phillips hosted a second community engagement meeting on March 8, 2021. A copy of the applicant’s Engagement Plan and a summary of the outreach and engagement process is attached to the staff report. Land use applications, including but not limited to rezoning, site plan review, plat and alley vacation and dedication will be required to allow for the proposed development, if the amendment is approved. These applications will follow the comprehensive plan amendment process. PUBLIC COMMENTS. As part of the application for the comprehensive plan amendment, the applicant was required to conduct public outreach and engagement to raise awareness about the proposed application and actively prepare stakeholders to engage and provide feedback on the application. A copy of the applicant’s Engagement Plan and a summary of the outreach and engagement process is attached to this memorandum. Correspondence received prior to the public meeting will be forwarded on to the Planning Commission for consideration. ANALYSIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT The Department of Community Planning and Economic Development has analyzed the application for a comprehensive plan amendment to (1) amend the future land use designation for 2839 11th Ave S from Production Mixed Use to Urban Neighborhood; and (2) amend the built form guidance in Minneapolis 2040 from Interior 3 to Corridor 6 for the properties located at 2837, 2839, and 2843 11th Ave S, and 2834, 2836, and 2840 12th Ave S based on the following findings: 1. The extent to which the proposed change would be consistent with the comprehensive plan goals and associated policies The proposed comprehensive plan amendment would be consistent with the applicable guidance, goals and policies of Minneapolis 2040 (2020): Future Land Use Guidance Staff Comment Production Production Mixed Use is a land use One of the properties proposed Mixed-Use designation that allows both production for redevelopment (2839 11th Ave and non-production uses, recognizing that S) is designated as Production Existing (2839 while many buildings in these areas are no Mixed Use.

  • East-West Corridor High Capacity Transit Plan Rapid Transit Evaluation Results
    East-West Corridor High Capacity Transit Plan Rapid Transit Evaluation Results About the Corridor The AECOM consultant team conducted a high-level analysis of commuter rail, light rail transit (LRT), streetcar and bus rapid transit (BRT) to determine the most appropriate mode for the East- West Corridor. Based on the corridor fit, ridership capacity, cost per mile to build/operate and available right-of-way, BRT will move forward for more detailed analysis. This fact sheet provides, in more detail, how BRT and LRT compared and why BRT was determined to be the best fit. BRT with LRT Screening Results Below are the similarities and differences between bus rapid transit (BRT) and light rail transit (LRT). Features Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Light Rail Transit (LRT) Service Frequency Frequent service during peak hrs. (5–15 min.) Frequent service during peak hrs. (5–15 min.)
