Page-3 I METROPOLITAN COUNCIL Background The City of Oak Park Heights is located in east-central Washington County. It is surrounded by the communities of Stillwater, Bayport, Baytown Township, Lake Elmo, and Stillwater Township. The City submitted its 2040 Comprehensive Plan (Plan)to the Council for review to meet the Metropolitan Land Planning Act requirements (Minn. Stat. §§ 473.851 to 473.871) and the Councils 2015 System Statement requirements. Review Authority & Rationale Minn. Stat. § 473.175 directs the Metropolitan Council to review a local government's comprehensive plan and provide a written statement to the local government regarding the Plans: • Conformance with metropolitan system plans • Consistency with the adopted plans and policies of the Council • Compatibility with the plans of adjacent governmental units and plans of affected special districts and school districts By resolution, the Council may require a local government to modify its comprehensive plan if the Council determines that the plan is more likely than not to have a substantial impact on or contain a substantial departure from metropolitan system plans" (Minn. Stat § 473 175 subd 1). Each local government unit shall adopt a policy plan for the collection, treatment, and disposal of sewage for which the local government unit is responsible, coordinated with the Metropolitan Council's plan, and may revise the same as often as it deems necessary (Minn. Stat. § 473.513). The attached Review Record details the Council's assessment of the Plan's conformance. consistency. and compatibility, and is summarized below.

Compatibility Compatible with the plans of adjacent and Compatible affected governmental districts Thrive Lens Analysis The proposed 2040 comprehensive plan is reviewed against the land use policies in Thrive MSP 2040. To achieve the outcomes identified in Thrive, the metropolitan development guide defines the Land Use Policy for the region and includes strategies for local governments and the Council to implement. These policies and strategies are interrelated and, taken together, serve to achieve the outcomes identified in Thrive. Funding None. Page-4 I METROPOLITAN COUNCIL Known Support/ Opposition There is no known local opposition to the 2040 comprehensive plan. Page-5 I METROPOLITAN COUNCIL REVIEW RECORD City of Oak Park Heights 2040 Comprehensive Plan Review File No. 22079-1, Business Item No. 2019-308 JT The following Review Record documents how the proposed Plan meets the requirements of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act and conforms to regional system plans, is consistent with regional policies, and is compatible with the plans of adjacent and affected jurisdictions. Conformance with Regional Systems The Council reviews plans to determine conformance with metropolitan system plans. The Council has reviewed the City's Plan and finds that it conforms to the Councils regional system plans for Regional Parks. Transportation (including Aviation), and Water Resources. Regional Parks and Trails Reviewer: Cohn Kelly, Community Development (CD) - Regional Parks (651-602-1361) The Plan conforms to the 2040 Regional Parks Policy Plan (RPPP). Washington County is the Park implementing agency for the Regional Parks System components in the City of Oak Park Heights, for which the Plan accurately describes the Regional Parks System components. Regional Trails located within the City include the Middle St. Croix Valley Regional Trail Search Corridor. There are no State or Federal recreation lands within the City (Figure 1). Regional Transportation, Transit, and Aviation Reviewer. Russ Owen. Metropolitan Transportation Services (MTS) (651-602-1724) The Plan conforms to the 2040 Transportation Policy Plan (TPP).The Plan is also consistent with Council policies regarding community roles, the needs of non-automobile transportation, access to job concentrations. and the needs of freight, except as detailed below. Roadways The Plan conforms to the Roadways system element of the TPP. The Plan accurately accounts for the metropolitan highway system of principal arterials. The Plan accurately reflects the regional functional classification map of A-minor arterials and has delineated major and minor collectors. The Plan identifies all the required characteristics of the City's roadways, including existing and future functional class, right-of-way preservation needs, and existing and forecasted traffic volumes for principal and A-minor arterials. Forecasting is consistent with regional methodology. The Plan also includes guidelines on how access will be managed for principal and A-minor arterials. Transit The Plan conforms to the Transit system element of the TPP. It shows the location of existing transit routes and facilities and acknowledges the City is within Transit Market Areas III and V. The Plan is consistent with the policies of the Transit system element of the TPP. The Plan addresses community roles related to its Community Designation of Suburban, as well as the opportunities and challenges related to its Transit Market Areas. Aviation The Plan conforms to Aviation system element of the TPP. The Plan includes policies that protect regional airspace from obstructions. 4111/°6116..-- Page-0 METROPOLITAN COUNCIL Bicycling and Walking The Plan is consistent with the Bicycle and Pedestrian chapter of the TPP. The Plan identifies existing and future segments of and connections to the Regional Bicycle Transportation Network (RBTN) and regional trails. The Plan is also consistent with Bicycle and Pedestrian policies of the TPP by planning for local pedestrian and bicycle connections to transit, regional trails. regional job concentrations. and other regional destinations as identified on the RBTN map. Freight The Plan is consistent with Freight policies of the TPP. The Plan identifies the needs of freight movement in and through the City. including accessibility to freight terminals and facilities. Transportation Analysis Zones (TAZs) The Plan conforms to the TPP regarding TAZ allocations The City's TAZ allocations for employment households, and population appropriately sum to the Councils citywide forecast totals for all forecast years. The Citys planned land uses and areas identified for development and redevelopment can accommodate the TAZ forecasted allocations in the Plan, and at densities consistent with the City's Thrive designation of Suburban. Advisory Comment On page 109, there is an error that should be corrected in the description of bus service. The Plan states: "The commuter service is only available on weekends but Metro Mobility/ADA provides weekend service ' The commuter service is only available on weekdays. Water Resources Wastewater Service Reviewer: Kyle Colvin, Environmental Services (ES) -- Engineering Programs (651-602-1151) The Plan conforms to the 2040 Water Resources Policy Plan (WRPP). It represents the City's guide for future growth and development through the year 2040. It includes growth forecasts that are consistent with the Councils forecasts for population households. and employment Wastewater treatment services are provided to the City by Metropolitan Council Environmental Services. All wastewater generated within the City is conveyed through Council Interceptors 7131 -1 and 9101 . All flow is treated at the Councils St Croix Valley Wastewater Treatment Plant in Oak Park Heights. The Plan projects that the City will have 2,590 sewered households and 5,500 sewered employees by 2040. The Metropolitan Disposal System with its scheduled improvements has or will have adequate capacity to serve the Citys growth forecasts The Plan provides sanitary flow projections in 10-year increments. The rationale for the projections is given in the Plan and determined appropriate for planning local services. The Council is committing to provide the level of wastewater service based on the sewered forecasts as stated in the sewer element of the Plan. The Land Use Plan reflects an overall minimum residential sewered density that is consistent with Council policy for future sewered residential growth for Suburban communities. The Plan defines the Citys goals, policies, and strategies for preventing and reducing excessive inflow and infiltration (I/I) mostly focused on the local municipal (public) collection system including a summary of activities and programs intended to identify and mitigate Ill from public infrastructure sources. These activities include routine review of wastewater flow data. televised inspection of the City's sanitary Page - 1 METROPOLITAN COUNCIL sewer collection system,inspection of MH structures,and noting potential sources of Ill from private property services during the televised inspection of the public system.Many of these activities are coordinated with City street rehabilitation projects. The Plan describes the requirements and standards for minimizing I/I and references City Code Section 1001.215 that make it unlawful for any owner,occupant,or user of residential or commercial property to direct into,or allow,any stormwater,surface water,ground water,well water,or air conditioner condensate,either directly or through sump pumps,rain leaders or foundations drains,to be discharged into the sanitary sewer system.The Plan does not specifically state that if discovered, disconnection of non-compliant discharges is required. The Plan describes the sources,extent,and significance of existing I/I within the entire wastewater collection system and provides a description of an implementation plan for preventing and eliminating excessive Ill from the municipal sewer system.The Plan states that approximately 20%of the residential homes were constructed prior to 1970 when private service laterals were predominately vitrified clay tile pipe.By comparing wastewater flow generation volumes between winter and summer months,the City has determined that approximately 11%of the City's annual base flow is from Ill,and by using the last significant peak month flow that occurred in July 2013,the City has estimated that peak month flow includes approximately 35%I/I from monthly base flow. Comprehensive Sewer Plan Comments The Sewer Element of the Plan has been reviewed against the requirements for Comprehensive Sewer Plans for Suburban communities.It was found to be complete and consistent with Council polices. Upon adoption of the Plan by the City,the action of the Council to approve the Sewer Plan becomes effective.At that time,the City may implement its Plan to alter,expand,or improve its sewage disposal system consistent with the approved Sewer Plan.A copy of the City Council Resolution adopting its Plan needs to be submitted to the Council for its records. Surface Water Management Reviewer:Jim Larsen,CD-Local Planning Assistance(651-602-1159) The Plan is consistent with Council policy requirements and in conformance with the Council's WRPP for local surface water management.The Plan satisfies the requirements for 2040 comprehensive plans.Oak Park Heights lies within the oversight boundaries of the Middle Saint Croix Watershed Management Organization(WMO),and the Valley Branch and Browns Creek Watershed Districts. Oak Park Heights submitted a draft Local Water Management Plan(LWMP)update in September 2018.Council Water Resources staff reviewed and commented on the draft LWMP to the City and Watersheds in a letter dated September 12,2018.The LWMP was approved by the Middle Saint Croix WMO on November 8,2018,the Valley Branch Watershed District on August 23,2018,and the Browns Creek Watershed District on September 12,2018.The LWMP was adopted by the City on January 22, 2019.The Plan incorporates the City's final adopted LWMP as an Appendix. Consistency with Council Policies The Council reviews plans to evaluate their apparent consistency with the adopted plans of the Council. Council staff have reviewed the City's Plan and find that it is consistent with the Council's policies,as detailed below. Forecasts Reviewer:Todd Graham,CD-Research(651-602-1322) The Plan provides forecasts for Oak Park Heights.In October 2018.Council staff and the City's planner agreed on a revised employment forecast,reflecting an expectation of limited commercial land supply and potential for additional employment.Council and City staff agree to the following revised employment forecast shown in Table 1 below. Page-2 I METROPOLITAN COUNCIL Table 1, City of Oak Park Heights Forecasts Census Estimated Council's System Revised Forecast 2010 2017 Statement 2020 2030 2040 2020 2030 2040 Population 4,445 4,742 4.880 5,300 5,700 4.880 5,300 5,700 Households 1,911 2.257 2,200 2,420 2,600 2,200 2,420 2,600 , rEmployment 4,358 4,494 5,900 6,800 7,500 4,600 5,100 5,500 1 The Council will approve the revised forecast, simultaneous with action on the Plan. The Council requires the Plan to address how land supply for future development (or redevelopment) accommodates the City's growth forecast. The planned land use table in the Land Use Chapter of the Plan describes additions of new land supply: 12 acres of low-density and 29 acres of residential/business transitional' The City projects that this land supply could accommodate 444 housing units at the mid-point of allowed density ranges. Also the City is guiding additional land for an 8% increase in the amount of business, commercial, and industrial land. Considering some current underutilization, Oak Park Heights worksites can accommodate the growth forecast. Thrive MSP 2040 and Land Use Reviewer: Corrin Wendell, CD— Local Planning Assistance (651-602-1832) The Plan is consistent with Thrive MSP 2040 and its land use policies. The Plan acknowledges the Thrive community designation of Suburban (Figure 2). Thrive describes Suburban communities as those that saw their primary era of development during the 1980s and early 1990s and typically have automobile-oriented development patterns at significantly lower densities than in previous eras. As shown in Figure 3 of this report, the Existing Land Use development pattern includes majority of Residential Land Uses (19%) and Commercial and Industrial Land Uses (21%), and Vacant (8.6%). The next two largest land uses are Water and Park Facilities and Open Space. Suburban communities are expected to plan for forecasted population and household growth at overall average densities of at least five units per acre. Plans are also required to identify areas for redevelopment, particularly areas that are well-served by transportation options and nearby amenities and that contribute to better proximity between jobs and housing. The Plan is consistent with Thrive for land use and residential density policies for a Suburban community designation. Table 2 below shows the two land use categories where the City expects new or redevelopment to occur, Low Density Residential and Residential/Business Transitional. The density analysis shows an overall planned residential density for the City at 5.95 units per acre, exceeding the required average density of 5 units per acre. Table 2. Planned Residential Density, City of Oak Park Heights 2018-2040 Change Density Category Min Max Net Acres Min Units Max Units Low Density Residential 1 3 12 12 36 Residential/Business Transitional 8 32 29 232 622 TOTALS 41 244 658 Overall Density 5.95 16.05 Page-3 I METROPOLITAN COUNCIL As shown in Figure 4, the City is planning to accommodate growth across the community in areas identified as ''Development Areas. Development Areas guided for Low Density are scattered throughout the City, while Residential/Business Transitional areas are located generally within the Highway 36 corridor and along Osgood Avenue and allow for high density residential. The City plans to support forecasted employment growth through the development of existing vacant sites within the Commercial and Highway Business land use categories. Orderly Annexation The Plan contains annexation policies consistent with their 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The Plan acknowledges that the City will not aggressively pursue areas of annexation from the Townships or detachment/annexation from one of the adjoining cities. As part of the planning process, the City has identified one area of approximately 320 acres that potentially could become part of the City in the next 20 years located on the western city boundary along Highway 36 and Manning Avenue. The property is identified in the Future Annexation Plan, found within the Plan. The City would consider this area for annexation if petitioned by the property owners and if the affected jurisdiction is willing to detach the property. Housing Reviewer: Hilary Lovelace. CD- Housing (651-602-1555) The Plan is consistent with the 2040 Housing Policy Plan. As of 2016, the City currently has more than 2,300 homes including 1,250 multifamily units and nearly 1,100 single-family homes. More than 1,000 homes are rented. Over 1,500 housing units are currently affordable to households earning under 80% of Area Median Income (AMI). however, nearly 630 households earning 80% of AMI or below are paying more than 30% of their income toward housing costs. There are 245 Units affordable to households with income at or below 30% AMI and more than 200 cost burdened households with incomes at or below 30% AMI. The Plan identifies existing housing needs including affordable senior housing, housing maintenance and rehabilitation, and meeting the allocation of affordable housing need. The City is currently home to 70 publicly subsidized units, including 62 that are age restricted for seniors. The Plan acknowledges the 2021-2030 affordable housing need allocation of 74 units; 33 of which are needed at prices affordable to households earning 30% of AMI or less, 11 of which are needed at prices affordable to households earning between 31 and 50% of AMI, and 30 of which are needed at prices affordable to households earning between 51 and 80% of AMI. As shown in Figure 5, the Plan guides sufficient land expected to develop in the 2021-2030 time period at a minimum of eight units per acre to allow for development of at least 232 new housing units. The housing implementation plan component of the Plan describes that the City will consider tax increment financing (TIF)for projects that provide senior or affordable units. The Plan also indicates that the City will work with the Washington County CDA to accomplish many of their housing goals, including housing bonds, site assembly, and technical assistance referrals. The City states that they will use work with the Washington County CDA to sponsor an application'for LCA programs, and support applications to Minnesota Housing's RFP The City will consider creating a 4d tax program and consider creating a Housing Improvement Area to assist in the maintenance of older townhomes. Water Supply Reviewer: Brian Davis, ES- Water Supply Planning (651-602-1519) The Plan is consistent with WRPP policies related to water supply, including the policy on sustainable water supplies, the policy on assessing and protecting regional water resources. and the policy on water conservation and reuse. Page-4 I METROPOLITAN COUNCIL Oak Park Heights prepared a Local Water Supply Plan in 2017 that was submitted to both the MN Department of Natural Resources and Metropolitan Council and reviewed under separate cover. The LWSP was considered complete on July 6, 2017 and a review letter was sent to the DNR on that date. Community and Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems (SSTS) Reviewer: Jim Larsen. CD - Local Planning Assistance (651-602-1159) The Plan indicates that the only Community Wastewater Treatment facility in the City is the publicly owned MCES Saint Croix Valley Wastewater Treatment Facility. There are nine households in the City that continue to be served by individual SSTS. The City has adopted the Washington County SSTS Code for regulation of specifications. installation, and maintenance of SSTS, and turned over all maintenance management oversight of existing systems to the County. The Washington County SSTS Ordinance No. 206 is consistent with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Chapter 7080-7083 Rules and Council WRPP requirements. Special Resource Protection Solar Access Protection Reviewer: Camerae Bailey. CD- Local Planning Assistance (651-602-1212) The Plan is consistent with statutory requirements (Minn. Stat. 473.859) and Council policy regarding planning for the protection and development of access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems as required by the Metropolitan Land Planning Act (MLPA) The Plan includes the required solar planning elements. Aggregate Resource Protection Reviewer: Jim Larsen. CD- Local Planning Assistance (651-602-1159) The Plan indicates consistent with the Councils aggregate resources inventory information contained in Minnesota Geological Survey Information Circular 46. that while there are several small isolated sand and gravel deposits in the City, none are believed to be of sufficient size to be economically viable for mining in the nearly fully urbanized community. Historic Preservation Reviewer: Corrin Wendell, CD - Local Planning Assistance (651-602-1832) The Plan appropriately addresses historic preservation within the City. The Plan identifies that the City will continue to review and modify. as necessary. the ordinances as they relate to the preservation of significant historic resources. Plan Implementation Reviewer: Corrin Wendell, CD- Local Planning Assistance (651-602-1832) The Plan includes a description of and schedule for any necessary changes to the capital improvement program, the zoning code, the subdivision code, the SSTS code. and the housing implementation program. The Plan. with supplemental materials, describes the official controls and fiscal devices that the City will employ to implement the Plan. Specific implementation strategies are contained in individual chapters of the Plan, with capital improvements planning detailed in the appendix. Compatibility with Plans of Adjacent Governmental Units and Plans of Affected Special Districts and School Districts The proposed Plan is compatible with the plans of adjacent jurisdictions. No compatibility issues with plans of adjacent governmental units and plans of affected special districts and school districts were identified.
