The city's economic development priorities are consistent with the city's strategic priorities related to
redevelopment.
Background:
2019 Strategic Planning
In November of 2019, the EDA and HEDC held a series of joint meetings focused on strategic
planning for economic development in Maplewood. The meetings included tours of four
redevelopment projects in the Twin Cities metro area: Cedar Crossings in Richfield, Southdale in
Edina, Excelsior and Grand in St. Louis Park, and the Terrace Theatre redevelopment in
Robbinsdale.
The strategic planning also included a work session to identify economic development priorities.
The Commissioners initially identified and discussed several areas of focus, which included:
• North End Plan — Bus Rapid Transit — Transit -Oriented Development
• Maplewood Business Council
• Gladstone Redevelopment
• Partnerships and Tools — 2040 Comp Plan
• Business Incubator —Small Business Enterprises
• Rice & Larpenteur Redevelopment
• Workforce Development
• Housing (homebuyer programs, rehab programs, housing types/product mix, scattered
site/vacancy rehab, affordable housing)
• Business Retention and Expansion
After a brief summary and background for each topic, the commissioners and staff discussed each
topic and rated each for their potential impact on the community (low to high) and the amount of
effort needed to drive those initiatives forward. After discussion, there was a general consensus that
focusing on the North End, Housing, Rice & Larpenteur, and Gladstone were the preferred areas of
focus.
The impact/effort matrix from the strategic planning is attached.
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funding
Within the next two weeks, Maplewood will receive approximately $2.15M, or 50% of the city's
share of ARPA funds, from the federal government. The federal government will release the second
installment one year from the date of the release of the first installment. The broad categories of
eligible uses of the grant include:
1. Responding to the Public Health Emergency and its Negative Economic Impacts
2. Revenue Loss
3. Premium Pay for Essential Workers
4. Water, Sewer and Broadband Infrastructure
The entire amount of the first allocation is eligible for spend down utilizing the revenue replacement
(loss) component of the federal grant as the City is eligible for approximately $2.4M in revenue
replacement funds for the fiscal year 2020. The revenue replacement component of the ARPA grant
provides the most flexibility for the City Council to make spending decisions. Revenue replacement
funds are eligible for use for any governmental purpose, with the exception of debt service
payments, replenishment of reserves, or the payment of court judgments.
City staff has identified several areas of need for the qualifying section of the grant:

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) affordable housing 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):

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-wagejobs
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:

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
148 -unit mixed income project, including 59 units affordable at 60% area median income.
4. Gladstone House —1375 Frost Ave E

S. Maplewood Marine —1136 & 1160 Frost Ave E
Up to 65 units of affordable housing, all units affordable at 60% of area median income.

6. JB Vang —1310 Frost Ave E
Up to 75 units of affordable housing, all units affordable with a mix at 30%, 50% and 60% of area
median income.
7. Phalen Senior Cooperative — East Shore Dr
Project is in the early development phases, but could include up to 64 units of senior for -sale units.
8. Rice Street Gardens —1958 Rice St N
Project is in the early development phases, but could include approximately 350 units of affordable
housing at various income levels.
Vacant Single -Family Homes
In addition to the multi -family housing in development, city staff tracks vacant single-family homes in the
community as part of our code enforcement program. The most recent list includes 43 homes that are
unoccupied. The reason for the vacancy varies by property, but common reasons include mortgage
foreclosure, deceased owners, or tax lien and forfeiture processes. There are certainly other unoccupied
residences in the community, but these 43 properties are known due to code enforcement actions, which
indicates a lack of maintenance and upkeep.
This full list of vacant single-family homes is attached.

Building Better Solutions
to Fight Blight
The City of Pipestone has partnered with Minnesota West Com-
munity College to address blighted properties and build the job
skills of local students in the school's carpentry, plumbing, and
HVAC programs. Through the partnership, students have been
able to tear down to the studs and renovate four condemned and
tax -forfeited properties. "They are perfect houses for students to
work on because everything is wrong," says Pipestone Building
and Zoning Administrator Doug Fortune, who also teaches build-
ing code classes at Minnesota West.
Rehabbed homes are affordably priced and sold, with all
proceeds going back into the Pipestone Economic Development
Authority's Blight Fund for acquisition of properties. The Blight
Fund also covers other costs, including those for safety inspec-
tions, asbestos abatement, and subcontracting for electrical work_
The program is part of Pipestone's broader initiative to
address blight, which rolled out in 2017 with a new ordinance
and Fortune's position. The fund was seeded with $iso,000 in

have been flipped, repaired, or demolished, creating an addi-
tional $2.2 million in property tax value and some very appre-
ciative neighbors.
There's a new investment tool offering for cities: the
4M Limited Term Duration (LTD) Fund. This fund
invests in high-quality, fixed-income investment4

with average maturities around one year that are
compliant with Minnesota statutes. o
What's the 4M? The League's "Minnesota Municipal
Money Market" is a customized cash management
and investment program for Minnesota public funds,
sponsored and governed by the League of Minnesota
Cities (LMC) and administered by PMA Financial
Network. Other products in the 4M are 4M Fund,
4M PLUS Fund, and the Term Series Pools.
The 4M LTD Fund is now available to all 4M Fund
participants and offers a professionally managed,
diversified portfolio where public entities can invest
intermediate to long-term reserves and still have
access to the funds on a monthly basis "The 4M
LTD offers a mix of investment strategies within one
product," says Marky Engler, LMC finance director.
"It can produce stronger rates, and maintains sound
investment practices." Learn more at www.imc.org/
