UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 7:29 P.M.
Nancy Abts, Associate Planner, provided information on accessory dwelling units (ADU) and explained
how this housing product aligns with housing goals within the Comprehensive Plan. She then reviewed
the proposed ordinance and recommendation of approval from the Planning Commission.
The Council asked for clarification on the proposed maximum height and staff provided that clarification.
Additional questions were asked relating to how rentals will be tracked, parking regulations, utility
connections, and requirements for a detached ADU. Concern was expressed from a member that
regulations related to the ADU may allow things that would not be allowed under typical home additions.
Staff provided additional clarification and answered the questions of Council related to the draft
ordinance.
A resident provided input, agreeing with the restrictions recommended by staff to ensure quality products
are built, and supported the allowance of ADUs.
The Council commended the Planning Commission for its thorough review. The Council asked for input
staff may have received from other communities that allow ADUs. Staff noted that the biggest takeaway
was that allowing ADUs does not mean they will be constructed because of the cost. The Council noted
that these regulations would clearly separate ADUs from the ability to rent a room in a home without a
license. Additional information was provided related to rental licensing, inspections, and enforcement.
Motion made by Councilmember Tillberry to close the public hearing, Seconded by Councilmember

Stacy Stromberg, Planning Manager, provided background information on residential lots that were
platted before Fridley became a City, which resulted in varying lot sizes. She reviewed related City Code
and ordinance changes that have occurred since that time including the overlay district approved by the
Council in 2001. She provided additional information on the current 40-foot-wide lots in Fridley and
related code/ordinance amendments before the Council tonight. The Planning Commission held a public
hearing, received public testimony, and unanimously recommended approval.
The Council supported these changes as it would allow opportunity for lots that have become vacant to
become buildable and would provide a homeowner with more opportunities to rebuild, should their
existing home become damaged beyond repair.
No public testimony was received.

Title
Resolution No. 2022-32, Designating Precincts and Polling Locations for the 2022 Election Year
Background
Minnesota Statute 204B.16, subd. 1 requires the governing body of each municipality to designate,by
resolution,precincts and polling locations by December 31. The attached resolution designates the
precincts and polling locations for 2022.
On March 28, 2022 the Fridley City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1401, which satisfied the City of

were within the 3% marginrequired by the Fridley City Code. Due to logistical concerns, potential
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)compliance concerns and the proliferation of Absentee Balloting
causing fewer Election Day ballots cast, staff recommended the closure of two
locations at Michael Servetus Unitarian Church and Fridley Covenant Church. Voters who had voted at
those locations will now vote at neighboring polling locations. All voters affected by changes through
the redistricting process willbe notified of the change.
Financial Impact
The City plans to mail postcards to those registered voters in the affected areas. Staff estimate the cost
of such a postcard mailing to be approximately $800, which will be paid out of the Elections budget
for 2022.
Recommendation
Staff recommend the adoption of Resolution No. 2022-32.

Title
Ordinance No. 1400, Amending the Fridley City Code Chapter 205,Zoning(Second Reading)
Background
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), also known\[Mother-\]In-Law Apartments
,etc.,are a growing topic of interest in the Twin Cities metro and
nationwide.
Framing Fridley, identifies housing priorities including,
to provide special services to seniors to help them have the option to remain safe in their home as they
Permitting ADUs may be one way to address the need for additional housing and supportive
services in Fridley.
Advocates of aging in place see ADUs as a way for older adults toremain in their communities. Most
ADUs are also rented at rates affordable to households earning 80 percent of Area Median Income (AMI)
or less.However, these new dwelling unitsmay also impact neighborhood character. Communities
considering allowing Accessory Dwelling Units must balance considerations of housing production and
neighborhood preservation.
Analysis
Based on longer-term experiences in communities like Portland, Oregon, and other more recent
experiences of municipalities in the Twin Cities metro, staff expect a slow buildout of ADUs in Fridley. If
the expected 1-2% of the 6,000 eligible residential lots add an ADU, Fridley could see 60-120 ADUs in
the coming decade. Based on the limited number of ADUs anticipated, no changes to the
Expensive and challenging construction is one factor that has limited construction of ADUs. Because an
ADU must provide its own bathroom and kitchen facilities, as well as adequate insulation and a frost-
protected foundation, it is more expensive to construct than an addition or new garage.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.

Edits to Ordinance Since First Reading
After conferring with the City Attorney, some slight changes to the ordinance language have been
proposed since the First Reading of the ordinance was approved. Subsection 205.04.05.e was revised to
2 was revised
ground floor.
Previous Council and Commission Action
The City Council held a public hearing and approved a first reading for Ordinance No. 1400, for Text
Amendment Request, TA #22-01 at their March 28, 2022, meeting.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing for Text Amendment request, TA #22-01 at their March
16, 2022, meeting. After hearing from audience members and a discussion among the Commissioners,
the Commission recommended approval of TA #22-01 with the added requirement of a Special Use
Permit for detached ADUs. The motion passed unanimously.
ch 4 and March 11,
2022.
Financial Impact
The impact of ADUs on residential housing valuation depends largely on the type of construction (e.g.,
converting an existing basement into an ADU would be less impactful than building a new freestanding
structure). ADUs can also be quite expensive to construct, in some cases approaching the cost of
constructing a new principal dwelling.
Individual property owners may balance construction costs and increased property values with other
benefits an ADU provides, including potential rental income and/or offsetting the costs of assisted
living facilities for family members in need of supportive care.
Recommendation
Staff recommend the approval of the second reading of Ordinance. 1400 and recommend approval of
Summary Ordinance No. 1400 for publication.

AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date:April 11,2022 Meeting Type:City Council
Submitted By:Scott Hickok, Community Development Director
Stacy Stromberg, Planning Manager
Title:
Ordinance No. 1402, Amending the Fridley City CodeChapter 205.07,One Family Dwelling District
Regulations and Chapter 205.31,Overlay District O-6, Pre 1955 Lots(Second Reading)
Background
Prior to Fridley becoming a City in 1949, many residential lots in older neighborhoods were platted with
lots of varying sizes, some as small as 25 ft. wide. When zoning code was adopted in 1955,
it required that all R-1, Single Family zoned lots havea minimum lot areaof 9,000 sq. ft. and minimum
lot width of 75 ft. It also required a minimum lot area of7,500 sq. ft. for those lots created prior to
December 29, 1955. The adoption of the 1955 zoning ordinancegave any single-family lotsmaller than
7,500 sq. ft. --eantthat homes on these lots
-built if they were destroyed by a natural disaster, such as a fire, flood,or
tornado.
In 2001, the City Council approved anOverlay District titledO-6, Pre-1955 Lotsas a way to preserve
on vacant lotsarea. This overlay district was created to allow lots less
than 7,500sq. ft., but 5,000 sq. ft.or moreto be developed and reinvested in. The main conditionfor
development of these smaller parcels was that they needed to be legally platted prior to 1955. This
caveat prevents the creation of new single-family lotsand developmentsless than 75 feetwide and
9,000 sq. ft. in area.
Current Request
In early2021, Anoka County notified the City that the 40 ft. vacant parcel at 60 62 ½ Way had gone tax-
forfeit. The County is required by State Statute to notify the City of any tax forfeited parcels in their
jurisdiction to determine if the City is interested in acquiring the parcel, prior to offering it for sale. The
home on this property was destroyed by fire in 1998
requirements of 50 feet, it has remained vacant.
Staff asked the Council to approve a resolution in March of 2021, requesting conveyance of the tax
forfeit property at 60 62 ½ Way to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA). Council approved
the resolution with the understanding that the HRA would place this parcel into its Housing Replacement
Program and staff would work together to find a way to allow redevelopment of this parcel.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.
42
Jufn!8/
New Ordinance
In surveying other communities, many of them have a provision in their non-conforming section of code
that recognizes and allows development of lots that were legally created and platted, provided they can
comply with their current residential code requirements for setbacks, lot coverage, etc. Instead of
modifying the non-conforming section of code, staff determined that an amendment to the existing O-
6, Pre-1955 lots Overlay would work better, as the setbacks are reduced, and lot coverage requirements
are increased to allow more buildable area on a small lot and ensure developability.
Ordinance modifications made include:
!Adding the Hyde Park plat to the district boundaries;
!Reducing the minimum lot area from 5,000 sq. ft. to 4,000 sq. ft.;
!Reducing the minimum lot width from 50 feet to 40 feet;
!Mirroring the existing S-1, Hyde Park zoning district regulations for side yard setback requirements
from 10 ft. to 7.5 feet;
!Reducing the side yard setback on a corner lot to 7.5 feet for consistency and lot developability
provided there is 20 feet; and
!Adding a condition that the height of any new structure shall be designed to blend and maintain
balance with existing structures on either side.
