To alleviate confusion on certain policy aspects, staff drafted an amended policy to: • Create a new Definitions section for key terms. • Update the term "Edina Overlay" to "Edina Universal Requirements" to avoid confusion with the use of "overlay" in the zoning code. • Establish a process for how fractional EV-installed and EV-ready spaces are calculated, and how exceeding EV-installed requirements will count toward EV-ready compliance. • Update the name of the US Department of Energy's Efficient New Homes Program, formerly known as "Zero Energy Ready Homes." • Update Enterprise Green Communities section numbers to reflect 2026 criteria numbering for energy efficiency standards. • Update LEED's bird collision deterrence point references. • Add clarification that parking facilities not included in the scope of the project do not have to comply with EV requirements if documentation is submitted to the Sustainability Division. Staff believe these changes provide necessary clarification in the document for policy compliance and resolve areas of confusion brought up by development teams. There are no changes to the policy requirements or applicability. This is the second amendment to the policy. ## Resources/Financial Impacts: None. ## Relationship to City Policies/Plans/Budget Pillars: The Sustainable Building Policy was adopted in 2021 to advance Edina's Climate Action Plan goals and strategies. Sustainable investments in our built environment result in a strong foundation and livable city. ## Strong Foundation ## Livable City Page 10 of 175 ## Values Impact: ## Sustainability This policy is an action from the Climate Action Plan. Sustainable building standards reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase energy efficiency, leverage renewable energy, conserve water, and use sustainable building materials. ## Supporting Documentation: Documents marked with "Board Portal" do not meet ADA Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (URL) and are not included in the public packet.

Sustainable Building Policy, Amendment #2 Page 11 of 175 Page | 1 ## City of Edina Policy ☒City Council Approved: 11/16/2021 ☐ City-Wide Revised: 06/02/2026 ☐ Department ## Sustainable Building Policy Edina is dedicated to building a sustainable environment where current and future generations benefit from clean air and water, climate and community resiliency, and access to nature. In particular, the City recognizes the risks of climate change and has set a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 45% by 2030. Since the built environment is a significant contributor to Edina’s greenhouse gas footprint, it is important that new developments are built to minimize emissions and environmental impact during construction, as well as the operation of buildings. Developments that seek City funding or land use incentives can join the City in these goals and meet set established sustainable building requirements. As such, the City of Edina adopts the following Sustainable Building Policy: ## DEFINITIONS Affordable unit means housing serving residents at or below 60% AMI for rental buildings and at or below 80% AMI for for-sale buildings.

EV Ready means a designated parking space that has sufficient electrical capacity installed in the space with a branch circuit or other means as permitted by Minnesota Electrical Code and can support the installation of an electric vehicle charging station providing at a minimum Level 2 charging at a later date. Level 2 Charging means charging equipment supplied by 208/240 volts electric service. Major renovation means renovation work performed on an existing building or portion thereof consisting of at least 10,000 square feet (gross) for non-municipal buildings and 2,500 square feet (gross) for municipal buildings, and requiring installation of new mechanical, ventilation, or cooling systems, or the replacement of such systems. New construction means the planning, design, construction, and commissioning of a new building; or an addition of at least 10,000 square feet to an existing building if such addition requires installation of new mechanical, ventilation, or cooling systems. Parking Facilities means parking lots, garages, ramps, or decks within or adjacent to the building that are used for parking motor vehicles. Page 12 of 175 Page | 2 Sustainable Building Rating System means any of the following: 1. US Green Building Council’s LEED building construction or operations; Certified Silver, Gold or Platinum. a.

Amendment approved: June 02, 2026 Effective date: June 02, 2026 Originally adopted: November 16, 2021; Amendment #1: April 1, 2022 Page 15 of 175 ## Item Report June 2, 2026 ## City Council ## Item Number: 6.6 Department: Public Works ## Item Activity: Information Prepared By: Marisa Bayer, Sustainability Manager ## Item Title: Bag Fee Policy Report ## Action Requested: Receive report. ## Information/Background: The Edina City Council adopted Ordinance 2023-18 to establish a 5 cent carryout bag fee for most retail merchants, which applies to plastic bags, compostable plastic bags, paper bags and reusable bags. Businesses are required to self-report both the total number of bags distributed and the total value of the bag fees collected. There is no penalty for not reporting. The ordinance has been effective since July 1, 2024, and the City currently has 18 months worth of reporting data from 74 unique businesses. Forty-three businesses submitted data both years. At the April 7, 2026, Council meeting, Council members requested additional analysis on the bag fee reporting data to determine if there is a decrease in the total number of bags being distributed in Edina. Staff completed a comparison analysis focused on 34 businesses who submitted data both years to provide a more representative sample of year-to-year changes and observations of operational and customer behavior changes. ## Resources/Financial Impacts: No fiscal or capacity impact. Information only. ## Relationship to City Policies/Plans/Budget Pillars: The carryout bag fee ordinance is one action supporting the Climate Action Plan goal to reduce waste. ## Values Impact: ## Sustainability Reducing waste and adopting sustainable behavior changes like bringing your own bag while shopping, supports Edina's Climate Action Plan. ## Supporting Documentation: Documents marked with "Board Portal" do not meet ADA Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (URL) and are not included in the public packet. To request a board portal document, please submit a data request (URL). ## 1. Bag Fee Analysis Staff Report ## 2. Bag Fee Data Business List Page 16 of 175 Page 17 of 175 ## Staff Report Date: 06/02/2026 ## To: Mayor and City Council ## From: Marisa Bayer, Sustainability Manager ## Subject: Carryout Bag Fee Analysis ## Introduction & Overview To understand the impact of the carryout bag fee, a comparison analysis focused on 34 businesses (three grocery stores and 31 retail stores) who submitted data both years to provide a more representative sample of year-to-year changes and observations of operational and customer behavior changes. For the grocery stores and retail stores in the analyzed data set, the estimated total monthly number of bags and average monthly number of bags distributed per store decreased from 2024 to 2025. These decreases demonstrate there is likely some change in store operations (e.g., prompting customers if they would like a bag) and customer behaviors (e.g., bringing a bag). Assuming the data is directionally accurate, there is a high variability in the reporting data and low confidence in the accuracy and completeness of the data: • The accuracy of the reporting data is affected by the data being self-reported. Self-reported data lacks reliability and can be impacted by reporting biases like social desirability, where a business submits data because they are expected to even if inaccurate, or submits data that shows a decrease in bags distributed assuming that’s the desired outcome of the reporting. Examples of unreliable data in the data set include businesses reporting distributing zero or one bag, reporting the same value both years or reporting values that show almost a 100% decrease in bags distributed. • The accuracy of the reporting data is also affected by the lack of ordinance enforcement, where businesses might not consistently adhere to the ordinance (i.e., tracking and charging for each carryout bag), so may be under-reporting the actual number of bags distributed. This has been observed in anecdotal conversations with City staff, City commissioners and residents who have shared that businesses did not charge for their carryout bag(s) during a transaction, either because they were never prompted to or were advised that the policy did not apply to their transaction (e.g, thinking the fee does not apply to paper bags). • The completeness of the reporting data is affected by the low number of businesses reporting. Several retailers who are assumed to distribute a high number of carryout bags did not submit data, such as Target and Walgreens, which would influence the monthly bag distribution numbers. In addition, most retailers at Southdale Mall and the Galleria did not submit data. Of the estimated 300 retailers in Edina, only 69 submitted data (23% reported). Page 18 of 175 ## Data Analysis To understand the impact of the carryout bag fee, the analysis focused on 34 of 43 businesses who submitted data both years to provide a more accurate year-to-year change and observation of operational and customer behavior changes. Because of anomalies in the self-reported data, such as reporting the same value each year or a 100% increase in bags distributed, nine retail businesses who submitted data for both years were not included in this analysis. ## Grocery Store Trends Three grocery stores submitted data both years, providing a more consistent look at changes to in-store operations and customer behaviors. Both the total monthly bags distributed and the average monthly bags distributed per store decreased from 2024 to 2025. Looking at each individual store, two grocery stores saw a decrease from 2024 to 2025 for monthly bags distributed, and one saw an increase from 2024 to 2025. Table 1. Bag Fee Reporting Data and Comparison for Grocery Stores with 18 Months of Data (n=3) Grocery Stores 2024 2025 2024 to 2025 ## Change ## Total Monthly Bags Distributed 166,526 150,506 -10% ## Average Monthly Bags Distributed per ## Business 55,509 50,169 -10% ## Retail Store Trends Thirty-one retail stores submitted data both years in the analyzed data set. Similar to grocery stores, both the total monthly bags distributed and the average monthly bags distributed per store decreased from 2024 to 2025, but at a higher rate than grocery stores. Table 2. Bag Fee Reporting Data and Comparison for Retail Stores with 18 Months of Data (n=31) Retail Stores 2024 2025 2024 to 2025 ## Change ## Total Monthly Bags Distributed 13,333 8,412 -37% ## Average Monthly Bags Distributed per ## Business 430 271 -37% Staff completed an additional task to scrub the data for retail stores because of the range of values and annual changes in the dataset of 31. Staff removed retail businesses whose monthly estimated bags distributed increased or decreased more than 25% from 2024 to 2025. This resulted in 17 retail businesses being removed. This smaller dataset (Table 3) still shows a decrease from 2024 to 2025 in the monthly bags distributed, but at a smaller rate than the dataset with 31 stores (Table 2) that is more consistent with the grocery store sector (Table 1).

To estimate the count of monthly bags distributed, the 2024 values were divided by 6 and the 2025 values were divided by 12.

Portions of the proceeds were expected to be applied to costs of projects used for the benefit of qualified 501(c)(3) organizations in addition to the general public. In order to preserve tax-exemption for the proposed issue in compliance with Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the resolution authorized staff to schedule a public hearing to be held June 2, 2026 to identify the said projects and the benefiting tax-exempt organizations. Discussions with Parks & Recreation, Ehlers and the City’s bond attorneys at Dorsey & Whitney since that time have reviewed additional user agreements at Braemar Arena. They recommend that the proposed bond issue should instead be designated as taxable to allow flexibility to consider additional private use agreements and continued discussions on potential naming rights and advertising revenues within the arena facility. Based on this recommendation, staff determined to cancel the June 2 public hearing as it would no longer be necessary. The sale of Bonds will continue to be scheduled for June 16th when competitive bids will be presented to the City Council for award and final approval. ## Resources/Financial Impacts: No impact ## Relationship to City Policies/Plans/Budget Pillars: ## Strong Foundation ## Values Impact: ## Engagement This item was originally developed with a scheduled public TEFRA hearing in mind, and although the hearing is no longer required, the transparent review process and communication to Council continue to support an informed, engaging, and welcoming community.

Site Plan Review. ## SUPPORTING INFORMATION ## Surrounding Land Uses Northerly: Multi-family Condominiums; Zoned PRD-4, Planned Residential District and guided High Density Residential. Easterly: Multi-family Apartments; Zoned PUD, Planned Industrial and guided Office-Residential. Southerly: LA Fitness & the Edina Fire Station; Zoned PID, Planned Industrial and guided Office- Residential. Westerly: Office/Bank; Zoned PID, Planned Industrial and guided Office-Residential. ## Existing Site Features The subject property is 2 acres in size, contains a single-story office building built in 1969 with a large surface parking lot. Page 67 of 175 ## Planning Guide Plan designation: OR, Office Residential Zoning: PID, Planned Industrial ## Issues/Considerations: ## Rezoning As demonstrated below there is a mixture of zoning districts on this portion of 76 th Street. The property to the east is a multifamily residential PUD; to the south is property zoned PID but consist of an Edina Fire Station and LA fitness (similar to a commercial use, but allowing in PID); and to the west is a bank zoned PID (banks are also allowed in a commercial zoning district). The proposed use would be consistent with the existing uses on the block. Per Section 36-216 of the City Code, the Commission may recommend approval by the council based upon, but not limited to, the factors below. Is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan guides this site for OR, Office Residential land uses. The following page describes the land use, development character and density. Limited retail is considered a secondary use. ## Site Page 68 of 175 ## Categories Description, Land Uses Development Character and Guidelines ## Density and ## Intensity ## OR ## Office Residential Transitional areas along major thoroughfares or between higher intensity districts and residential districts. Many existing highway-oriented commercial areas are anticipated to transition to this more mixed- use character. Primary uses are offices, attached or multifamily housing. Secondary uses: Limited retail and service uses (not including “big box" retail), limited industrial (fully enclosed), institutional uses, parks and open space. Upgrade existing streetscape and building appearance, improve pedestrian and transit environment. Encourage structured parking and open space linkages where feasible; emphasize the enhancement of the pedestrian environment. 20 – 75 residential dwelling units/acre The Salvation Army is not a big‑box retailer. It is a non‑profit charitable organization that operates thrift stores rather than large‑format retail superstores. Will not be detrimental to properties surrounding the tract. The site plan and building would not change. The existing building would be utilized as well as the existing parking lot. Landscaping will be added to enhance the site. There are several uses in the area that are somewhat similar to retail, including a bank to the west and a health club to the south. Will not result in an overly intensive land use. The building size would remain the same, a large portion would be used for storage and drop off. The parking requirements would be met. A traffic and parking study was done by Stantec and concludes that the existing roadways would support the project, and there would be enough parking. (See page 7-1 in the attached traffic study.) The proposed secondhand store and donation drop off would generate less traffic than the existing LA fitness located across the street. Will not result in undue traffic congestion or traffic hazards. Traffic study was done by Stantec and concludes that the existing roadways can support the project. (See attached traffic study.) Conforms to the provisions of this section and other applicable provisions of this Code. Assuming the change to the Zoning Ordinance to allow the proposed use, the project would conform to the PCD-2 ordinance standards. The side yard setback is an existing condition. Page 69 of 175 Provides a proper relationship between the proposed improvements, existing structures, open space and natural features. There would be no building alteration or change in the parking lot. There will be added landscaping to enhance the appearance of the site. Zoning Ordinance Amendment. Per Sec. 36-608 (47) of the Edina Zoning Ordinance “Secondhand stores, not exceeding 2,500 square feet of gross floor area, but excluding pawn shops” are a permitted use in the PCD 1-3, Planned Commercial Zoning districts. The applicant is proposing a Zoning Ordinance Amendment that would allow secondhand stores to exceed 2,500 square feet in size in the PCD-Planned Commercial District. Below is the proposed amendment; it would apply to all PCD Zoning Districts. Section 1. Chapter 36, Article VIII, Division 8, Sec. 36-608 is hereby amended as follows: Sec. 36-608. - Principal uses in the PCD-1 subdistrict. (47) Secondhand stores, not exceeding 2,500 square feet of gross floor area, but excluding pawn shops. Staff supports the ordinance amendment; secondhand stores, like Salvation Army or Goodwill, function the same as any other retail use. Staff conducted contacted Eden Prairie, St. Louis Park, Richfield and Bloomington. All allow secondhand stores in their commercial zoning districts. They do not differentiate new vs. secondhand retail. Eden Prairie allows retail in an industrial zone with a PUD with limited retail square feet. Edina is the only city among our neighboring border cities that limit square feet and call out secondhand stores as a distinct retail category.

An 18,425 square foot retail store with a 9,434 square foot warehouse would require 79 parking stalls. The existing site provides 80 parking stalls. The parking study concludes that 54 parking stalls would be adequate. ## Site Circulation/Access/Traffic Primary access to the proposed development would be off 76 th Street. No changes are proposed from the existing conditions. Stantec conducted a traffic study. The study concludes that the proposal can be supported by the existing roadways. (See attached traffic study.) ## Landscaping Based on the perimeter of the site, 32 overstory trees would be required. The proposed plans show 32 existing and proposed overstory trees on site. A full complement of understory shrubs and bushes are also proposed. Page 71 of 175 ## Living Streets/Multi-Modal Consideration Sec. 36-1274. - Sidewalks, trails and bicycle facilities.

Whenever possible, bicycle parking spaces shall be located within 50 feet of a public entrance to a principal building. (b) The expense of the improvements set forth in subsection (a) of this section shall be borne by the applicant. The City’s Comprehensive Plan identifies a new sidewalk on the north side of 76 th ## Street. Therefore, a boulevard-style sidewalk should be installed on the site. This shall be made a condition of approval. Page 72 of 175 ## PRIMARY ISSUES/STAFF RECOMMENDATION ## Primary Issues For this project, the City of Edina has complete discretion to approve or deny this request. A case can be made for both approval and denial of this project. Findings for both approval and denial of this project are provided for the Planning Commission and City Council to consider. • Is the Zoning Ordinance Amendment Reasonable? Yes. Staff would support the Ordinance Amendment for the following reasons: 1. Secondhand stores are currently allowed in the PCD zoning district at a limited scale. 2. Secondhand stores, like Salvation Army or Goodwill, function the same as any other retail use. 3. The adjacent Cities of Eden Prairie, St. Louis Park, Richfield and Bloomington, all allow secondhand stores in their commercial zoning districts. They do not differentiate between new vs. secondhand retail. 4. Pawnshops would continue to be prohibited. • Is the Proposed Rezoning to PCD-2 Reasonable? Yes. Staff supports the request for the following reasons: 1. The findings for rezoning per Section 36-216 of the City Code would be met. 2. The Rezoning would not be detrimental to properties surrounding this site. 3. The site plan and building would not change. The existing building would be utilized as well as the existing parking lot. Landscaping will be added to enhance the site. 4. There are several uses on 76 th Street that are similar to retail, including a bank to the west and a health club to the south. 5. Would not result in an overly intensive land use.

Page 92 of 175 ## Item Report June 2, 2026 ## City Council ## Item Number: 8.2 Department: Community Development ## Item Activity: Action Prepared By: Cary Teague, Community Development Director ## Item Title: Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Site Plan and Variances for 6016 Vernon Ave, EV Charging Station ## Action Requested: Adopt Resolutions 2026-28 and 2026-29 approving the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Site Plan with Variances. ## Information/Background: Ionna Rechargery is proposing to remodel the existing Kee’s auto repair shop at 6016 Vernon Avenue into an electric vehicle charging station. An electric vehicle charging station is a permitted use in the PCD-4 zoning district, in which this site is located. The site, however, is guided for medium density residential use in the Comprehensive Plan. The site would feature seven (7) level 3 DC fast chargers. The existing building would be remodeled to be a lounge waiting area with a mini convenience store or vending machines. The convenience store and lounge would be accessible 24 hours a day by a QR code, and open to the public with no QR code from 9 am to 6 pm. Security will be via cameras on site, and they would partner with a security firm to dispatch as necessary and only escalate to police if the situation calls for it. If the need arises, a Phase 2 security plan that will have an onsite security guard, though IONNA does not foresee this being a need. The building and site trash from bins will be collected via a janitorial contract, and the site will be checked daily for cleanliness. To accommodate this request, the following is requested: • A Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment to re-guide the site from MDR, Medium Density Residential to Neighborhood Node. The site is zoned PCD-4, in which a gas station is a permitted use. A gas station is defined as “a principal building and its accessory structures used for the sale of motor fuels and oils, where automotive accessories and convenience goods may be sold, but where repair and servicing of motor vehicles does not occur; provided, however, that an accessory carwash is permitted.” • Site Plan Review. • Multiple Variances: Drive Aisle/Parking Space Setbacks from 20 to 2 feet, Setback to Residential Property from 50 and 110 feet to 12 and 60 feet, Canopy setbacks from 35 & 25 to 0 and 5 feet, Pump Island Setbacks from 20 to 10 and 0 feet, Patio setback from 20 to 2 feet, Mechanical Equipment Setback from 35 to 13 feet, and Parking Lot Setback from the Building from 10 to 2 and 6 feet. Page 93 of 175 While the proposed use is permitted in the PCD-4 zoning district, because of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and the Variances needed, the City does have some discretion to approve or deny the request. ## Supporting Documentation: Documents marked with "Board Portal" do not meet ADA Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (URL) and are not included in the public packet.

An electric vehicle charging station is a permitted use in the PCD-4 zoning district, in which this site is located. The site, however, is guided for medium density residential use in the Comprehensive Plan. The site would feature seven (7) level 3 DC fast chargers. The existing building would be remodeled to be a lounge waiting area with a mini convenience store or vending machines. The convenience store and lounge would be accessible 24 hours a day by a QR code, and open to the public with no QR code from 9 am to 6 pm.

The building and site trash from bins will be collected by a janitorial contract, and the site will be checked daily for cleanliness. To accommodate this request, the following is requested: ➢ A Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment to re-guide the site from MDR, Medium Density Residential to Neighborhood Node. The site is zoned PCD-4, in which a gas station is a permitted use. A gas station is defined as “a principal building and its accessory structures used for the sale of motor fuels and oils, where automotive accessories and convenience goods may be sold, but where repair and servicing of motor vehicles does not occur; provided, however, that an accessory carwash is permitted.” ➢ Site Plan Review. ➢ Multiple Variances: Drive Aisle/Parking Space Setbacks from 20 to 2 feet, Setback to Residential Property from 50 and 110 feet to 12 and 60 feet, Canopy setbacks from 35 & 25 to 0 and 5 feet, Pump Island Setbacks from 20 to 10 and 0 feet, Patio setback from 20 to 2 feet, Mechanical Equipment Setback from 35 to 13 feet, and Parking Lot Setback from the Building from 10 to 2 and 6 feet. (See Compliance Table on page 9 of this staff report.) Page 97 of 175 While the proposed use is permitted in the PCD-4 zoning district, because of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and the Variances needed, the City does have some discretion to approve or deny the request. (See attached pyramid of discretion.) ## Surrounding Land Uses Northerly: Single-family homes; zoned R-1, Single-Dwelling Unit District and guided Low Density Residential. Easterly: Single-family homes; zoned R-1, Single-Dwelling Unit District and guided Low Density Residential. Southerly: Single-family homes; zoned R-1, Single-Dwelling Unit District and guided Low Density Residential. Westerly: Apartments/Condos; zoned PRD-3, Planned Residential District and guided Medium Density Residential. ## Existing Site Features The subject property is 16,373 square feet in size and contains a single-story two-bay auto repair shop, accessory buildings and parking lot. The main building was constructed in 1957, and the site was also used as a gas station until the early 1990’s. In 1992 the gas pumps were removed, and soil pollution remediation was done. The cleanup was satisfactorily done, and no further action was required by the MPCA. (See attached documentation from the MPCA.) ## Planning Guide Plan designation: MDR, Medium Density Residential Zoning: PCD-4, Planned Commercial District – 4 ## Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment This site is unique in Edina in that it is, and has been zoned PCD-4, Planned Commercial District for the automotive repair use and gas station, however, it is guided in the Comprehensive Plan for Medium Density Residential. The Comprehensive Plan designation has been in place at least since 1980 when that Comprehensive was adopted. Staff assumes that when that Comprehensive Plan land use designation was established to match the existing medium density multi-family housing located to the west. To accommodate the request, a Comprehensive Plan amendment is required to change the future land use designation from Medium Density Residential to NN, Neighborhood Node. This would accommodate a Page 98 of 175 small-scale commercial use. This category is where several of the City’s current gas stations are located. (See attached PowerPoint) Below shows the proposed change: ## Existing Land Use Plan ## Site ## Site ## Proposed Land Use Plan Change ## Existing ## Proposed Page 99 of 175 Comprehensive Plan. The site is guided MDR, Medium Density Residential in the Comprehensive Plan. Below is the land use category and description: ## Categories Description, Land ## Uses ## Development Character and ## Guidelines Density and ## Intensity ## MDR ## Medium-Density ## Residential Applies to attached housing (townhouses, quads, etc.) and multi-family complexes of moderate density. May also include small institutional uses. In new development or redevelopment, improve integration of multi-family housing into an interconnected street network and work to create an attractive, pedestrian-friendly street edge. 5 – 12 residential dwelling units/acre Based on the current designation of medium density residential, a total of 4 units maximum could be developed on the site, due to its small lot size. Over the past couple years, residential developers have looked at the site for potential residential development. None had any interest in pursuing development; that includes the developer that submitted a sketch plan for the 20-unit memory care housing project. ## Categories Description, Land ## Uses ## Development Character and ## Guidelines Density and ## Intensity ## NN ## Neighborhood Node*** Current examples: • 44th & ## France • 70th & ## Cahill • Valley View & ## Wooddale • Lincoln & Londonderry In general, small-to moderate-scale commercial, residential or mixed-use buildings serving primarily the adjacent neighborhood(s). Primary uses encouraged are neighborhood-serving retail and services, offices, studios, institutional and residential. Building footprints generally less than 20,000 sq. ft. (or less for individual storefronts). Parking is less prominent than pedestrian features. Encourage underground parking (for comparatively larger developments), district parking for smaller developments, and open space linkages where feasible; emphasize enhancement of the pedestrian environment. Varies by small area: • Wooddale/Valley View – 12-30 du/acre • 70th & Cahill – 10-50 du/acre • 44th & France – 12- 60 du/acre • Lincoln/Londonderry – 10- 60 du/acre Page 100 of 175 Based on the size of the subject property and the density allowed in the MDR Districts, four (4) units could be constructed on the subject property. However, given the odd shape, small size and restrictive setbacks required with two of three street frontages, variances would be needed redevelop the site with housing. (See attached PowerPoint.) ## Site Plan Review ## Parking Based on the City Code requirement, Section 36-1311, the proposed parking spaces meet City Code. City Code requires 5 stalls for the proposed use. The applicant is proposing 16 stalls total; 14 charging station stalls and 2 general parking stalls. A parking study was conducted by Stantec and concluded that there would be adequate parking. (See attached study.) ## Site Circulation/Access/Traffic Primary access to the proposed development would be off Vernon Avenue, by the two existing access points. Stantec conducted a traffic study. The study concludes that the existing roadways can be supported by the project. (See attached traffic study.) ## Landscaping Based on the perimeter of the site, 17 overstory trees would be required. The proposed plans show 17 overstory trees on site. A full complement of understory shrubs and bushes are also proposed. The applicant is proposing a cedar fence to provide screening the residential area to the north and west. Per Section 36-1457 (4) of the Zoning Ordinance: “Off-street parking facilities containing six or more spaces and all loading facilities shall be screened from streets located within 50 feet, and from lots which are used for any residential purpose which are located within 50 feet. Said distance shall be the shortest distance between the parking facility or loading facility and the nearest part of the street or the nearest lot line of the residential lot.” This site is located within 50 feet of residential uses to the west and north but would be screened. ## Trash Enclosure Trash storage facilities, including recycling storage facilities, shall be screened from all lot lines and public road rights-of-way. As proposed, the trash enclosure would be located in front of the building and would be screened. Page 101 of 175 ## Grading/Drainage/Utilities The city engineer has reviewed the proposed plans and found them to be acceptable subject to the comments and conditions outlined in the attached memo. Any approvals of this project would be subject to review and approval of the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District, as they are the City’s review authority over the grading of the site. ## Mechanical Equipment Any new rooftop and/or ground level equipment would have to be screened if visible from adjacent property lines. Lights would be LED and pointed down and shielded. Dimming of canopy lighting are proposed to match sunrise and sunset times. ## Lighting The applicant has submitted a lighting plan that demonstrates City Code compliance on all lot lines. (See proposed plans.) ## Noise Noise generated from the chargers will be required to meet the City Code (State Statutes). The applicant has stated that the noise will meet the City Code and provided the information below. o Sound levels drop significantly as you move away from the source. The 52 dBA rating is typically measured immediately next to the unit. For every doubling of distance, the sound level drops by approximately 6 decibels. By the time the sound reaches the property line or the nearest sidewalk, it will likely be lower than the existing ambient traffic noise in the area. o The actual sound profile of the entire site will remain well within standard city noise ordinances and will be comparable to the ambient sounds of a quiet suburban street. Page 102 of 175 ## Gas Station Regulations Per Section 36-618 (15) of the Edina City Code, the following is required for Gas Stations: (15) Automobile service centers and gas station standards. a. Minimum lot area: 1. For an automobile service center, 20,000 square feet, plus 5,000 square feet for each service bay in excess of three. 2. For a gas station, 15,000 square feet. b. Maximum lot area: 60,000 square feet. c. Hydraulic hoists, pits, lubrication, washing, repairing and diagnostic equipment shall be used and stored within a building. d. Interior curbs of not less than six inches in height shall be constructed to separate driving surfaces from sidewalks, landscaped areas and streets. e. No automobile service station on a lot adjoining a lot in a residential district shall be operated between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. f. All driving surfaces shall be constructed and maintained in the same manner as prescribed for parking lots by this chapter. g. No merchandise shall be displayed for sale outside a building, except in that area within four feet of the building or within pump islands used for dispensing motor fuels. h. No motor vehicles, except those owned by the operators and employees of the principal use, and vehicles awaiting service, shall be parked on the lot occupied by the principal use. Vehicles being serviced may be parked for a maximum of 48 hours. i. Body work and painting is prohibited. j. No buildings, driveway surfaces, parking areas or other improvements shall be located within 110 feet of any portion of a lot in a residential district which is used for residential purposes if separated from the lot by a street, or within 50 feet, if not so separated by a street. k. Pump islands shall maintain a front and side street setback of at least 20 feet and an interior side yard and rear yard setback of at least 25 feet. l. Notwithstanding the requirements of article XII, division 3 of this chapter, driveways and drive aisles need only provide a setback of not more than five feet from all lot lines, subject to the requirements of subsection (15)j of this section. Page 103 of 175 ## Signage There were no signage variances requested. Below are the Code requirements for signage in the PCD- ## 4 Zoning District: PCD-4 20% of wall area 20-foot setback to a street Number of Signs – One per building per frontage 80 square feet for first sign, 50 square feet for each additional sign 20 feet tall All signage for the site should meet City Code requirements. The wall sign shown and sign above the canopies on the images do not meet City Code requirements. ## Living Streets/Multi-Modal Consideration Sec. 36-1274. - Sidewalks, trails and bicycle facilities. (a) In order to promote and provide safe and effective sidewalks and trails in the City and encourage the use of bicycles for recreation and transportation, the following improvements are required, as a condition of approval, on developments requiring the approval of a final development plan or the issuance of a conditional use permit pursuant to article V of this chapter: (1) It is the policy of the City to require the construction of sidewalks and trails wherever feasible so as to encourage pedestrian and bicycle connectivity throughout the City. Therefore, developments shall provide sidewalks and trails which adjoin the applicant's property: a. In locations shown on the City's sidewalk and trail plan; and b. In other locations where the council finds that the provision of such sidewalks and trails enhance public access to mass transit facilities or connections to other existing or planned sidewalks, trails or public facilities. (2) Developments shall provide sidewalks between building entrances and sidewalks or trails which exist or which will be constructed pursuant to this section. (3) Developments shall provide direct sidewalk and trail connections with adjoining properties where appropriate. (4) Developments must provide direct sidewalk and trail connections to transit stations or transit stops adjoining the property. (5) Design standards for sidewalks and trails shall be prescribed by the engineer. (6) Nonresidential developments having an off-street automobile parking requirement of 20 or more spaces must provide off-street bicycle parking spaces where bicycles may be parked and secured from theft by their owners. The minimum number of bicycle parking spaces required shall be five percent of the automobile parking space requirement. The design and placement of bicycle parking spaces and bicycle racks used to secure bicycles shall be subject to the approval of the city engineer. Whenever possible, bicycle parking spaces shall be located within 50 feet of a public entrance to a principal building. (b) The expense of the improvements set forth in subsection (a) of this section shall be borne by the applicant. Page 104 of 175 The City’s Comprehensive Plan identifies a new sidewalk on the north side of Vernon Avenue between Blake Road/Olinger Boulevard to Olinger Road/Highwood Drive. Therefore, a boulevard-style sidewalk should be installed on the site, should this proposal be approved per the attached engineering memo. ## Compliance Table ## City Standard (PCD-4) ## Proposed Setbacks (Structure) Front (Vernon) ## Front (EP Road) Side (West) Setbacks (Canopy) Front (Vernon) ## Front (EP Road) Side (West) ## Setbacks (Pump Islands) Front (Vernon) ## Front (EP Road) Side (West) Setbacks (Parking lot) Drive aisle (Vernon) Drive aisle (EP Road) Side (West) ## Setback from Residential Use From adjacent property From property separated by a street 35 feet 25 feet 25 feet 35 feet 25 feet 25 feet 20 feet 20 feet 25 feet 20 feet 20 feet 10 feet 50 feet 110 feet 25 feet (existing) 20 feet (existing) 25 feet (existing) 0 feet* 10 feet* 40+ feet 0 feet* 10 feet* 50+ feet 0 feet* 10 feet* 12 feet 12 feet* 60 feet* Parking Setback from Building 10 feet 6 & 8 feet* Maximum Lot Size 60,000 s.f. 16,373 s.f.

A case can be made for both approval and denial of this project. Findings for both approval and denial of this project are provided for the Planning Commission and City Council to consider. (See pages 13-15 of this report.) As outlined below, staff is recommending approval of this proposal, primarily due to the fact that the site is currently zoned for auto oriented uses (PCD-4) like the gas station and auto repair station that have existed on the site for 50+ years. ## Primary Issues • Is the Comprehensive Plan Amendment reasonable? Yes. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment is reasonable for the following reasons: 1. The subject property has been used a commercial site with proper zoning for over 50 years. The proposed amendment is reasonable given the consistency in use from an auto-repair and former gas station to an electric vehicle charging station. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment would be consistent with the existing commercial zoning on the site. 2. The existing zoning is PCD-4, which allows automobile service centers, gas stations and car washes. The Metropolitan Council requires cities to have their land use plan within the Comprehensive Plan, consistent with their zoning designations. 3. The proposed NN, Neighborhood Node, would accommodate a small-scale commercial use. This category is where several of the City’s current gas stations are located. 4. The proposed use would be supported by the existing roads. The number of vehicular trips to the site would have minimal impact on the existing roads. (See page 7-1 of the traffic study.) • Are the proposed Variances justified? Yes. Subject to approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, staff believes that the Variances requested with this project are reasonable and meet the variance criteria as outlined below. ➢ The existing use on the property has been commercial for over 50 years. ➢ The closest adjacent structure would be 105+/- feet away and would be screened by fencing and landscaping. Page 106 of 175 ➢ The practical difficulties include the existing small lot size, irregular shape of the lot and street frontages on two of the three sides. ➢ It would be difficult to build anything on this site without variances, due to the small size and shape of the lot. (See attached buildable area.) ➢ The proposed cedar fence and landscaping along the west and north lot lines would minimize impact on the adjacent residential use to the north and west. ➢ The proposal would be an improvement over existing conditions and use of the site. Minnesota Statutes and Section 36-98 of the Edina Zoning Ordinance require that a variance shall not be granted unless the following findings are made: 1. The variances would be in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance. Ariticle 1. – In General; Section 36-1 – Findings state “Through the enactment of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived, the council intends to implement this statement of philosophy so as to provide for the orderly and planned development and redevelopment of lands and waters in the city, to maintain an attractive living and working environment in the city, to preserve and enhance the high quality residential character of the city and to promote the public health, safety and general welfare.” Section. 36-2 Objectives of the Zoning Ordinance includes: ➢ Control the use, development and expansion of certain nonresidential uses in the Single Dwelling Unit District in order to reduce or eliminate undesirable impacts of such nonresidential uses. ➢ Encourage orderly development, use and maintenance of office, commercial and industrial uses which are compatible with the residential character of the city. ➢ Recognize and distinguish commercial districts at the neighborhood level, the community level and the regional level, so as to provide retail establishments compatible in use and scale with surrounding properties, especially those used for residential purposes. ➢ Establish standards for landscaping and screening to contribute to the beauty of the community, add to the urban forest and buffer incompatible uses from one another. By adding conditions to minimize impacts on adjacent property, such as landscaping, screening, limiting hours of operation the intent of the ordinances could be met. 2. The variance would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Subject to approval of the Comprehensive Plan amendment, the proposal would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Below is the land use categories and description. Page 107 of 175 ## Categories Description, Land ## Uses ## Development Character and ## Guidelines Density and ## Intensity ## NN ## Neighborhood Node*** Current examples: • 44th & ## France • 70th & ## Cahill • Valley View & ## Wooddale • Lincoln & Londonderry In general, small-to moderate-scale commercial, residential or mixed-use buildings serving primarily the adjacent neighborhood(s). Primary uses encouraged are neighborhood-serving retail and services, offices, studios, institutional and residential. ## Within Lincoln & Londonderry, limited industrial is also a primary use. Building footprints generally less than 20,000 sq. ft. (or less for individual storefronts). Parking is less prominent than pedestrian features. Encourage underground parking (for comparatively larger developments), district parking for smaller developments, and open space linkages where feasible; emphasize enhancement of the pedestrian environment. Varies by small area: • Wooddale/Valley View – 12-30 du/acre • 70th & Cahill – 10-50 du/acre • 44th & France – 12- 60 du/acre • Lincoln/Londonderry – 10- 60 du/acre 30%/70% residential/commercial mixed-use 3. There are practical difficulties in complying with the ordinance. The term “practical difficulties” means the following: i. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the Zoning Ordinance. Reasonable use does not mean that the applicant must show the land cannot be put to any reasonable use without the variance. Rather, the applicant must show that there are practical difficulties in complying with the code and that the proposed use is reasonable. “Practical difficulties” may include functional and aesthetic concerns. These variances are reasonable given the existing small size of the site, the triangular shape of the site, and two lot frontages. The proposal utilizes the existing building and updates the existing parking lot. The use would be reasonably screened by landscaping and fencing and located 105 feet to the building to the west. The previous use of this site was auto repair and a gas station. The proposed use is generally consistent with those uses. The mechanical equipment would be well screened and located away from the single-family homes to the north. ii. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. Page 108 of 175 Yes. The unique circumstances including the small lot size, location of existing building, unique shape, existing zoning being commercial (PCD-4) and the Comprehensive Plan designation of multi-family residential are not created by the landowner. iii. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. The variances would not alter the essential character of the locality. The existing use has been automobile repair with outside storage. The remodeling of the building, upgrading of the parking lot, added landscaping and fencing would improve the look of the site, which would remain commercial. Options for consideration For this project, the Planning Commission and City Council have discretion to approve or deny the request. A case can be made for both approval and denial of this project. The following outlines alternatives for the Planning Commission to consider. ## Denial ## Comprehensive Plan Recommend the City Council deny the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to re-guide the site from MDR, Medium Density Residential to NC, Neighborhood Commercial. Denial is based on the following findings: 1. The subject property is too small to accommodate the proposed uses. The EV charging stations and related mechanical equipment, given the number of variances being requested, would be an overly intensive use for the site. 2. The proposed use and site plan to accommodate the use is not compatible with the adjacent residential land uses. The variances proposed are significant. 3. The site is currently guided for Medium Density Residential land uses. ## Site Plan with Variances Recommend the City Council Deny the Site Plan Review and Variances. Denial is based on the following findings: 1. The Variance criteria have not been met. There are no practical difficulties that prohibit reasonable use of the property. Page 109 of 175 2. The practical difficulty is caused by the applicant’s desire for an expanded parking field for the EV charging stations and mechanical equipment that does not fit properly on the site to minimize impacts on adjacent properties. ## Approval ## Comprehensive Plan Recommend the City Council approve the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to re-guide the site from MDR, Medium Density Residential to NN, Neighborhood Node. Approval is based on the following findings: 1. The proposed use and site plan to accommodate the use is consistent with the previous land uses on this site. The existing building would be used rather than tearing it down and replacing it. The proposal would be an improvement to the site compared to current conditions. 2. The subject property has been used a commercial site with proper zoning for over 50 years. The proposed amendment is reasonable given the change in use from an auto-repair and former gas station to an EV charging station and convenience store. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment would then be consistent with the existing commercial zoning on the site. 3. The proposed amendment would allow a re-development of a commercial property that would be an amenity serving the area. A convenience store and lounge could be a small-scale community gathering space for this neighborhood. 4. With the requirement of a fence located along the west and north lot lines and the landscaping proposed, the project would be screened from adjacent residential land uses to minimize impacts. ## Site Plan with Variances Recommend the City Council Approve the Site Plan Review and Variances. Approval is based on the following findings: 1. The proposed variances are reasonable given the practical difficulties associated with the site including the triangular shape of the site, street frontage on two sides, and the lots small size. 2. The project would include a restoration of the existing building; the expansion area would the west, where the nearest building would be 105+/- feet away. Page 110 of 175 3. The proposed cedar fence along the west and north lot lines would minimize impact on the adjacent residential use to the north and west. 4. The proposal would be an improvement over existing conditions and use of the site. Approval is subject to the following Conditions: 1. The Final Landscape Plan must meet all minimum landscaping requirements per Chapter 36 of the Zoning Ordinance. A performance bond, letter-of-credit, or cash deposit must be submitted for one and one-half times the cost amount for completing the required landscaping, screening, or erosion control measures at the time of any building permit. The property owner is responsible for replacing any required landscaping that dies after the project is built. 2. Compliance with all the conditions outlined in the city engineer’s memo dated April 22, 2026. 3. Variances are subject to approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Site Plan approval by City Council. 4. Submit a copy of the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District permit. The City may require revisions to the approved plans to meet the district’s requirements. 5. A cedar fence must be installed and maintained along the west and north lot line as proposed to provide screening from adjacent properties. 6. A boulevard-style sidewalk must be constructed along Vernon Avenue. Sidewalk must be 6 feet minimum width with a 5-foot minimum width boulevard. 7. Noise levels from the site shall not exceed City Code (State Statutes). ## Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Site Plan and Variances subject to the findings above.

Stat. § 115B.178 that certain actions proposed to be taken by Special X Properties LLC at the Kevin Kee's Auto Service site, located at the address referenced above (the Site), will not constitute conduct associating Special X Properties LLC with the release or threatened release of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants at the Site for the purpose of Minn. Stat. § 115B.03, subd. 3(4). The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) staff in the Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup (VIC) Program has reviewed the documents submitted for the Site. The 0.38-acre Site was undeveloped until construction of the current Site building in 1957. The building was occupied by a gas station until the early 1990s and has since operated as an auto repair shop. A petroleum release was discovered in November 1992 when underground storage tanks were being removed from the Site. The leak site (MPCA Site ID# LS0002247) was closed in February 2002. Special X Properties LLC intends to renovate the existing Site building for use as a restaurant. An environmental investigation completed at the Site in September 2021 included three interior soil borings and one exterior soil boring. Four soil samples were collected and analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and diesel range organics (DRO); two of the soil samples were also analyzed for Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) metals and one sample for polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Tetrachloroethene (PCE) was detected in one sample collected near the flammable waste trap at a concentration of 0.24 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), which is greater than the MPCA’s screening soil leaching value (SLV). Groundwater was not encountered during the investigation. Five exterior soil vapor samples were collected at the Site in August 2018 and three sub-slab soil vapor samples were collected at the Site in September 2021 (non-heating season) and November 2021 (heating season). PCE was detected at a maximum concentration of 279 μg/m 3 , which is less than the MPCA action level of thirty-three times (33X) its commercial intrusion screening value (ISV). Low concentrations of cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-1,2-DCE) were also detected in soil vapor. Page 117 of 175 ## Marty Collins Page 2 March 1, 2022 For the purpose of this letter, the identified release consists of PCE in soil, and PCE, cis-1,2-DCE and other non-petroleum-VOCs in soil vapor (Identified Release). This letter does not address petroleum- related contaminants. Petroleum contamination detected at the Site is under the oversight of the MPCA’s Petroleum Brownfield Program. Based upon a review of the information provided to the MPCA VIC Program, and subject to the conditions set forth in this letter, a determination is hereby made pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 115B.178, subd. 1 that the proposed actions (Proposed Actions) listed below will not associate Special X Properties LLC with the Identified Release for the purpose of Minn. Stat. § 115B.03, subd. 3(4). This determination applies only to the following Proposed Actions: • Purchase of the Site; • Renovation of the existing Site building for use as a restaurant; and • Operation and maintenance of the Site building, grounds, and related infrastructure. This determination is made in accordance with Minn. Stat. § 115B.178, subd. 1, and is subject to the following conditions: 1. The Proposed Actions shall be carried out as described herein. 2. Special X Properties LLC shall cooperate with the MPCA, its employees, contractors, and others acting at the MPCA’s direction, in the event that the MPCA takes, or directs others to take, response actions at the Site to address the Identified Release or any other as yet unidentified release or threatened release of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant, including, but not limited to, granting access to the Site so that response actions can be taken. 3. Special X Properties LLC shall avoid actions that contribute to the Identified Release or that interfere with response actions required under any MPCA-approved response action plan to address the Identified Release. Pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 115B.178, subd.1, when Special X Properties LLC takes the Proposed Actions in accordance with the determination in this letter, subject to the conditions stated herein, the Proposed Actions will not associate Special X Properties LLC with the Identified Release for the purpose of Minn. Stat. § 115B.03, subd. 3(4). The determination made in this letter applies to Special X Properties LLC’s successors and assigns if the successors and assigns: 1) are not otherwise responsible for the Identified Release at the Site; 2) do not engage in activities with respect to the Identified Release which are substantially different from the activities which Special X Properties LLC proposes to take, as described herein; and 3) comply with the conditions set forth in this letter. Please be advised that the determination made in this letter is subject to the disclaimers found in Attachment A and is contingent on compliance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Page 120 of 175 ## 4022 Stirrup Creek Drive, Suite 315, Durham, NC 27703 This project proposes to establish a new IONNA Rechargery located at 6016 VERNON AVE, Edina, MN. This installation will feature seven (7) Level 3 DC fast-charging stations with mini canopies, providing essential charging infrastructure for the growing electric vehicle community in Minnesota. IONNA, a joint venture established by leading automotive manufacturers including BMW, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, and Toyota, is creating North America's premier charging network. This location will serve as a crucial link in IONNA’s expanding charging infrastructure, supporting both local EV drivers and travelers along the Interstate 5 corridor. The proposed installation will feature high-powered charging capabilities compatible with both North American Charging Standard (NACS) and Combined Charging System (CCS) connectors, ensuring accessibility for all electric vehicle makes and models. Along with an amenity building that will provide a lounge, restrooms, and a small, unmanned convenience store powered by Amazon’s “Just Walk Out” technology. The unmanned convenience store will be accessible via QR code 24/7 to the public via access through the lounge. Our lounge will also be 24/7, and open to the public with no QR code from the hours of 9AM – 6PM. Security will be via cameras on site, and we will partner with a security firm to dispatch as necessary and only escalate to police if the situation calls for it. If the need arises, we have a Phase 2 security plan that will have an onsite security guard, though IONNA does not foresee this being a need. The building and site trash from bins will be collected via a janitorial contract, and the site will be checked daily for cleanliness. This Rechargery represents an investment in Edina’s future by providing essential EV charging infrastructure to the area. The location's proximity to major thoroughfares makes it an ideal spot for drivers and local businesses, bringing an untapped market to the City. The project will adhere to all required safety standards and will be designed to minimize impact on existing infrastructure while maximizing accessibility for EV drivers.

Page 144 of 175 ## Resolution 2026-28: Comprehensive Plan ## Amendment BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, as follows: Section 1. BACKGROUND. 1.01. Ionna Rechargery is proposing to remodel the existing Kee’s auto repair shop at 6016 Vernon Avenue into an electric vehicle charging station. An electric vehicle charging station is a permitted use in the PCD-4 zoning district, in which this site is located. The site, however, is guided for medium density residential use in the Comprehensive Plan. 1.02. The property is legally described as follows Tract C, Registered Land Survey No. 194, files of the Registrar of Titles, except that part of said tract embraced within Registered Land Survey No. 1081, Hennepin County, Minnesota. 1.03. To accommodate the request, the following is requested: • A Comprehensive Plan Amendment from MDR, Medium Density Residential to Neighborhood Node. 1.04. On April 29, 2026, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval of the requests. Vote: 9 Ayes and 0 Nays. 1.05. On June 2nd, 2026, the City Council held a public hearing and approved the requests. ## Section 2. FINDINGS 2.01. Approval is based on the following findings: 1. The proposed use and site plan to accommodate the use is consistent with the previous land uses on this site. The existing building would be used rather than tearing it down and replacing it. The proposal would be an improvement to the site compared to current conditions. 2. The subject property has been used a commercial site with proper zoning for over 50 years. The proposed amendment is reasonable given the change in use from an auto-repair and former gas station to an EV charging station and convenience store. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment would then be consistent with the existing commercial zoning on the site. 3. The proposed amendment would allow a re-development of a commercial property that would be an amenity serving the area. A convenience store and lounge could be a small-scale community gathering space for this neighborhood. 4. With the requirement of a fence located along the west and north lot lines and the landscaping proposed, the project would be screened from adjacent residential land uses to minimize impacts. ## Section 3.

This recommendation is based on: • Operational efficiency • Staffing sustainability and capacity • Fiscal responsibility • Historical voter usage trends • Preservation of City Hall operations and resources This recommendation applies only to Primary Elections. Staff is not recommending a change to General Election voting operations at this time due to significantly higher voter participation and demand. ## Background Recent legislative changes provide municipalities with flexibility to offer either: ## Option 1: Full 46-Day Voting Period • 28 days of Absentee Voting • 18 days of Early Voting ## Option 2: Early Voting Period Only • 18 days of Early Voting The legislation was supported by local government organizations to provide municipalities flexibility based on community needs, staffing resources, and operational capacity. The purpose of this flexibility is to allow cities to align election operations with local demand while maintaining voter access. ## Voter Usage Trends Page 151 of 175 Historical election data indicates that Primary Election turnout remains comparatively modest and that most in-person voting activity occurs during the final 18 days before Election Day. Key observations include: • Primary Election participation is substantially lower than General Election participation. • The highest concentration of in-person voter traffic occurs during the final 18-day voting period. • Earlier absentee voting periods experience lower and less consistent voter volume. • Voter preference has increasingly shifted toward direct ballot voting at City Hall during the final 18 days. By comparison, General Elections experience significantly different voting patterns and support maintaining broader in-person access. For example: • During the 2024 General Election, City Hall processed approximately 778 voters per day on average, with one day approaching 1,000 voters. ## Fiscal Impact Estimated temporary staffing costs for the upcoming Primary Election are outlined below: Limiting in-person voting operations to the 18-day period would reduce estimated temporary staffing costs by approximately $8,000, excluding additional indirect operational expenses. ## Operational Impacts Extended voting operations affect multiple City Hall functions beyond election administration. ## Facility and Resource Impacts • Increased parking constraints for employees and visitors • Relocation of City vehicles during peak periods • Greater use of remote work arrangements to accommodate parking needs • Reduced availability of shared public spaces ## Space and Meeting Impacts • Council Chambers function as both a voting location and meeting space • Extended voting periods require repeated room setup and breakdown • An 18-day model reduces operational disruption ## Service Impacts Extended election operations create competing demands on staff and resources that affects other ## Voting Period Estimated Temporary Staffing Cost ## First 28 Days (Absentee Voting Period) $8,000 ## Final 18 Days (Early Voting Period) $15,000 Page 152 of 175 City services and priorities. ## Staffing Sustainability and Capacity Election administration requirements continue to expand and now include: • Two required Saturdays of voting • One required Sunday of voting • Extended weekday hours through 7:00 p.m. • Increased staffing requirements related to ballot security and election operations Additional considerations for the 2026 election cycle include: • Deputy City Clerk vacancy and transition activities • Recruitment, scheduling, training, and certification of 200 election judges and approximately 14 temporary election staff • Pollbook and Head Judge training responsibilities • Election equipment and materials preparation Limiting Primary Election voting operations would allow staff to prioritize these critical activities and better position the organization for successful election administration. ## Continued Voter Access Limiting in-person voting at City Hall to the 18-day Early Voting period would not eliminate voter access options. Voters would continue to have multiple methods available to cast a ballot: 1. Vote by mail through Hennepin County 2. Drop off mail ballots at City Hall for secure transport to Hennepin County 3. Vote in person at Hennepin County locations during the 28-day Absentee Voting period 4. Vote in person at City Hall during the 18-day Early Voting period 5. Vote at assigned polling locations on Election Day Multiple accessible voting options would remain available throughout the election period. ## Staff Recommendation Based on historical voter usage trends, projected cost savings, staffing considerations, and operational impacts, staff recommends limiting in-person Primary Election voting at City Hall to the statutory 18-day Early Voting period. Staff is required to notify Hennepin County by June 12, 2026. ## Appendix A: Supporting Election Data Recent Voting Activity 2022 Primary 2022 General 2024 Primary 2024 General Total Absentee Voting 1,813 11,340 1,728 20,848 Total Voting at City Hall 1,158 7,539 952 14,992 Envelope Voting (28 days) 415 3,968 225 3,650 Page 153 of 175 ## Key Observations • Primary Election turnout remains significantly lower than General Election turnout. • Voters increasingly prefer direct ballot voting at City Hall. • Direct ballot (18 days) activity during the final voting period substantially exceeds earlier envelope (28 days ) voting activity. • General Election demand demonstrates significantly different usage patterns and supports maintaining broader access. ## Election Administration Workload Over the last six years, the City Clerk Division has administered 14 elections, creating an increasingly continuous election cycle affecting staffing capacity and operational priorities. Key impacts include: • Election planning and preparation frequently spans several months • Recruitment and training activities overlap with active election administration • Election responsibilities occur alongside regular City Clerk operations and service delivery Direct Ballot Voting (18 days) 743 3,755 727 11,672 Mail Ballots (Hennepin County) 1,000 4,789 1,660 7,300 ## Resources/Financial Impacts: Fiscal, operational, facility, staffing, and service impacts associated with this recommendation are detailed within the staff report above. ## Relationship to City Policies/Plans/Budget Pillars: This recommendation supports the City’s Strong Foundation and Reliable Service budget pillars by aligning election operations with demonstrated voter demand while maintaining accessible voting options. The proposed approach promotes responsible stewardship of City resources, supports sustainable staffing practices, and allows the organization to maintain high-quality election administration alongside other core City services. ## Strong Foundation ## Reliable Service ## Values Impact: ## Engagement Residents will continue to have multiple accessible voting options available, including mail voting, in-person early voting, and Election Day voting opportunities. ## Equity The recommendation maintains equitable voter access by preserving multiple voting methods and ensuring continued compliance with election accessibility requirements. Page 154 of 175 ## Health The recommendation supports employee wellbeing by helping balance operational demands and reducing prolonged staffing impacts associated with extended election operations. ## Stewardship The recommendation supports responsible stewardship of public resources by aligning staffing, facility usage, and operational costs with actual voter participation trends. ## Sustainability Limiting the in-person voting period for Primary Elections supports long- term operational sustainability by reducing strain on staffing capacity, facilities, and organizational resources during an increasingly continuous election cycle. ## Supporting Documentation: Documents marked with "Board Portal" do not meet ADA Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (URL) and are not included in the public packet.

It’s the primary source of revenue and is received in June and December. • Franchise Fees are 0% of budget in Q1, since the quarterly payments are received on one month lag, hence Q1 payments received in Q2. • Lodging Tax is 72% of budget in Q1. 95% of lodging tax received is paid to Explore Edina. Variance is due to timing of payment to Explore Edina. 7 Page 164 of 175 ## General Fund Continued •Licenses & Permits are 45% of budget in Q1. Building permit revenue fluctuates based on the number of permits and valuations. 342 Building Permits were issued in Q1. •Intergovernmental revenue is 7% of budget. The variance is largely due to timing on revenue payments.

Services are billed to other funds and external vendors. •Investment Income is 87% of annual budget. $532K income received on investment income, excluding unrealized gains/losses. Unrealized gains/losses and Interest allocation booked at year- end, creating budget variance. •Building Rental is 63% of budget. The account is made up of Park and Cell Tower rental. Cell Tower rental billed upfront for the year. •Other Revenue is 309% and $33K over budget, driven by Donations and Sale of Equipment. ## Expenses •Personnel Services is at 20% of budget, variance primarily due to payroll cutoff in Q1. Seven Q1 payroll days paid in Q2. •Contractual Services accounts are18% of budget, due to lag in monthly invoices creating budget variance. •Commodities are 13% of budget, due to lag in monthly invoices creating budget variance. •Transfers In (Out) are 12% over budget.
