CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOPSTAFF REPORT
Meeting Date June 14, 2021
REPORT TO:
Melinda Coleman, City Manager
REPORT FROM: Michael Martin, AICP, Assistant Community Development Director
PRESENTER:
Jeff Thomson, Community Development Director
AGENDA ITEM: South Maplewood/Century Ave Redevelopment Study
Action Requested: Motion Discussion Public Hearing
Form of Action: Resolution Ordinance Contract/Agreement Proclamation
Policy Issue:
On December 17, 2019, the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners adopted its budget for 2020-
2021, which included the eventual closure of the 95-acre Ponds at Battle Creek golf course. In
addition, Ramsey County owns 77-acres of undeveloped property north of its correctional facility.
Ramsey County has partnered with the City of Maplewood to explore a range of development
scenarios for these properties. At the June 14 workshop, Perkins+Will will be providing an update to
the council on the South Maplewood/Century Ave Redevelopment Study.
Recommended Action:
No action required.
Fiscal Impact:
Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $59,930.
Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source
Use of Reserves Other: Will be reimbursed by Ramsey County
Strategic Plan Relevance:
Financial Sustainability Integrated Communication Targeted Redevelopment
Operational Effectiveness Community Inclusiveness Infrastructure & Asset Mgmt.
The South Maplewood/Century Ave Redevelopment Study has the opportunity to provide a more
realistic vision for these two sites should a future owner desire to change their land use. It would
also give Ramsey County, as the current owner, more certainty in how the City of Maplewood and
other stakeholders view the future of these sites should the County decide to sell either or both
sites.

the City of Maplewood and Ramsey County. This plan is intended to outline potential impacts and a
variety of development scenarios – including no development.

received from the three community meetings and numerous stakeholder group sessions. The
project team will also provide next steps and discuss the format of the final report for this process.
As additional background, all project materials – including recordings of the three community
meetings – can be found on the project website that can be located at

Memo
To:Melinda Coleman, City Manager
From:Jeff Thomson, Community Development Director
Date: June 11, 2021
Re: Affordable Housing
Background
This memorandum is a summary of: (1) affordablehousing conditions, allocations, and policies in the city’s
2040 Comprehensive Plan; (2) the current development and market for new housing in Maplewood,
including anticipated construction of new affordable housing units in the next one to three years, and (3)
the potential for the purchase of vacant single-family homes for rehabilitation and resale for owner-
occupied residences.
Affordable Housing
As part of the city’s adoption of its 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the Metropolitan Council provided existing
affordable housing information for Maplewood. According to the Metropolitan Council data, 77.9% of all
housing units in Maplewood are affordable to households making less than 80% of area median income
(AMI):

More than 80% of AMI 3,547 22.1%
Total16,021100.0%
Source: Metropolitan Council
The Metropolitan Council also established an affordable housing need allocation for Maplewood which is
based on the projections of growth of households experiencing housing cost burden, current supply of
existing affordable housing, whether subsidized or naturally occurring, and the disparity of low-wage jobs
and housing for low-wage households within Maplewood. The affordable housing allocation in
Maplewood for the regional affordable housing need is 510 total units from 2021 to 2030. The breakdown
by affordability level is:

Source: Metropolitan Council
The city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan is consistent with the Metropolitan Council’s affordable housing
allocation and was approved by the Met Council as part of its review process. The 2040 Comprehensive
Plan also includes goals and policies to support affordable housing in Maplewood:
Promote efforts to upgrade, enhance, and maintain housing and existing neighborhoods.
Ensure there is a diversity of housing types to meet housing needs of all types of households.
Improve the availability of affordable housing for both homeowners and renters.
Proposed Housing Developments
There are currently eight multi-family housing projects in Maplewood in various phases of development.
The eight developments include a up to 976 new housing units with a variety of housing types, including
senior (cooperative, independent, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing), market-rate rentals,
and affordable housing. Of the 976 units of new housing in development, 610 of them would be affordable
at varying affordability levels.
There are approximately 15,000 housing units in Maplewood. The majority of units in Maplewood are
single-family homes, but there are 2,662 multi-family units in buildings containing more than 20 units. The
construction of nearly 1,000 new multi-family units in the next one to three years would increase the
number of total housing units by 6.5%, and would increase the number of multi-family units by more than
36%.
Here is a brief summary of the developments:
1.Elim Care – 1534 County Rd C
141 units of senior housing consisting of independent living, assisted living, memory care, and
skilled nursing.
2.Maplewood Apartments – 2615 Maplewood Drive
72 units of market-rate apartments.
3.Former South Fire Station – 2501 Londin La E
