Special City Council Meeting
III. JOINT MEETING WITH ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION (APC)
Direction for Consideration:
To discuss various topics with the Advisory Planning Commission and provide direction for the
2024 APC Work Plan.
Facts:
➢ At the annual joint meeting, the City Council and Advisory Planning Commission usually
discuss possible work plan topics for the upcoming year. Work plan topics can include
Council-directed initiatives, Commissioner suggestions based on recent land use
applications, and staff recommendations based on legislation, court decisions, and
industry trends.
➢ The Advisory Planning Commission currently has eight Planning Commissioners. Of
those, two have served on the Commission for 5 ½ years (Members Jensen and
Whisnant), three serving 2 ½ years (Members Whitfield, Cherner and Schwanke), and
three for 1 ½ years (Members Wegener, Barnicle, and alternate Block).
➢ In 2023 City Council requested newly appointed or re -appointed Commissioners receive
basic land use training. The City offers Commissioners on-line training regarding
planning and land use matters provided by Fusion Learning Partners. This past year,
three APC members have taken advantage of the training program.
➢ This past year Planning staff have invited additional guest speakers from various city
departments to APC Workshops, where staff gaveinformation and insight to their
respective responsibilities. Speakers included the City Forester, Water Resources
Manager, and the Sustainability Coordinator.
➢ The 2023 Work Plan included several topics and issues listed below:
• Rental Licensing Program – City Council adopted the Rental Licensing ordinance in
March 2023. As of November 6, the City has issued 94 licenses for 218 buildings and
2,831 units.
• Plan Review and Permit Licensing Software – City staff have been working with the
Davenport Group to implement a new licensing and permit tracking software
program specifically for Eagan. Staff anticipates rollout of the new program in the
first quarter of 2024.
• Northwest Central Commons Small Area Plan – On October 10th, the City Council
expressed support for the draft preferred plan. Staff and the consultant will now
transition to developing final plan documents and implementation strategies.
• Review of Office Campus Reuse/Redevelopment – Several large corporate campuses
within Eagan will likely begin a transition from large office footprints to marketable
land uses. In addition to properties included in the Northwest Central Commons
small area plan, Thomson Reuters is working to secure a buyer for much of its
campus, and the BCBS main campus has drawn interest from Johnson Brothers
Liquor Company for a future headquarters and distribution facility.
• Compliance review of existing Planned Developments – Community Development
staff began compliance checks of existing PD’s this past year. Starting in the
northeast portion of the City (Section 1) staff has progressed across each section and
is approximately mid-way through the review (currently on Section 9, north of
Yankee Doodle Road and west of Pilot Knob Road). Of 66 properties inspected, 57
were in substantial compliance, letters have been sent to 9 properties, 4 were
brought into compliance, with 5 cases remaining open.

2024 Work Plan Proposals
➢ A number of substantial projects are anticipated for this upcoming year. Staff proposes
the following work plan:
• Northwest Commons Small Area Plan Next Steps – Planning staff and Bolton & Menk
have begun final plan documents and implementation strategies that will be
presented to City Council in early 2024. The implementation plan may require APC
review.
• Cannabis Ordinance – The City currently has a moratorium in place restricting
cannabis businesses within the City. The State is in the process of establishing the
Office of Cannabis Management, which will eventually provide model ordinances for
communities. Cannabis business permits could be issued as soon as January 1, 2025.
The City will need to implement land use and permitting regulations for the various
cannabis facilities allowed under State Statutes.
• Planned Development Amendments – As Planned Developments begin to age and
transition, site changes to respond to changing tenants or business operations are
inevitable. Some of the minor changes may not be consistent with the approved
Planned Development, but consistent with City Code. Some cities have adopted
specific thresholds that distinguish between administrative and legislative review
processes for minor and major amendments. Staff suggests reviewing amendment
processes in other communities as well as application fees for the varying
amendment processes.
• Landscape Code Amendments – Sections of the landscape code may benefit from
updates. The financial assurance of $7,500 is generally substandard for most, if not
all, recent development projects. Additionally, the 3% landscape valuation
requirement should be reviewed as valuations for buildings continue to increase.
Staff suggests evaluating other community standards regarding landscaping
minimums and financial assurances.
• Continue APC Training – Continue offering land use training to all APC members
through the Fusion Learning Partners online program and other educational
programs as they become available.
• Continue Planned Development Review – Community Development staff will
continue its progression through the City reviewing largely commercial, industrial
and multi-family properties for compliance with approved planned developments.
Staff anticipates completion of this program by end of 2024.
• Continue Implementation/Integration of LAMA permitting software – Staff is
currently in the testing phase of the new software system. Staff anticipates initial
implementation of the new software during the first quarter of 2024. However, fine
tuning will likely need to continue through the second quarter of 2024.
• Additional work tasks anticipated for 2024:
o Re-developments – Redevelopment proposals for Metcalf Middle School, BCBS,
and Thomson Reuters will require EAW/AUAR environmental reviews. Staff
review of environmental documents and redevelopment proposals is expected in
2024.
o Shoreland Overlay – Staff anticipates MNDNR to designate two additional lakes
within Eagan for protection, likely requiring Code amendments to include on the
protection list.
Discussion Questions
1. The list of identified tasks is extensive and may exceed staff and APC capacity. Are any
items listed above of higher priority for City Council?
2. Are there any Planning/land use related items that City Council would like to consider?

November 14, 2023 Eagan City Council Meeting
IV. 2024 Eagan Convention and Visitors Bureau Budget
Action to be Considered:
To provide feedback on the Board-adopted 2024 Eagan Convention and Visitors Bureau (ECVB)
budget and marketing priorities. The budget will be added to a future consent agenda for
formal consideration.
Facts:
The primary mission of the ECVB team is to promote Eagan as a preferred destination
for leisure travelers, tour groups, meeting attendees, sports tournaments and special
events is backed by a creative and comprehensive sales and promotional campaign.
While boldly promoting Eagan’s attractions, hotels and restaurants throughout a 10-
state region, the Bureau will also be concentrating their marketing efforts on enticing
Canadians to enjoy all the amazing amenities Eagan has to offer.
The ECVB 2024 budget process began early this past summer and has been reviewed by
the ECVB Executive Committee. The budget was also reviewed by Mayor Mike Maguire
and Director of Community Development Jill Hutmacher by way of their positions on the
Executive Committee and ECVB Board.
Pursuant to the agreement between the City of Eagan and the ECVB, the Bureau is also
required to perform an economic impact study every four years. Normally the study
would’ve been performed in 2020, but officials from the City and ECVB mutually agreed
to table it during the pandemic. An allocation for a study was made in the 2023 budget,
and the results of the study are currently being finalized.
A 7.5% budget increase was approved by the ECVB’s Board of Directors during their
September Board meeting. The ECVB match their employee salaries against national
averages via the Destination International’s benefits and compensation calculator. City
Liaison Jill Hutmacher and Mayor Mike Maguire were present for Board action.
While the ECVB Board operates independently from the City, Section 3.2 of the
Operating Agreement with the City of Eagan requires the ECVB to submit its work plan
and operating budget to the City Council for its “review and approval.”
The ECVB will once again play an active role in spearheading promotional efforts for
Eagan’s July 4th Funfest, Art Festival, Market Fest and Caponi Art Park while also
working with officials from Cascade Bay Waterpark and the Eagan Civic Arena on joint
marketing efforts for 2024.

HIGHLIGHTS & CHANGES
Overview:
Eagan’s profile as a distinctive destination for leisure travelers, special events and major
conferences continues to rise, and the majority of our sales and marketing strategies for FY 2024
and beyond will continue centering around leveraging the post-pandemic momentum we’ve been
able to establish the past few years.
As one might imagine, many of the best opportunities for our entire hospitality community have
been generated through events hosted by Viking Lakes, and 2023 in particular proved to be
rather fruitful in overall attendance figures. From sellout crowds taking in exciting Aurora soccer
action at TCO Stadium to fans across the region and nation coming to Eagan for Premier
Lacrosse League games and Vikings Training Camp experiences, overall figures were up in
every category which provide us with many more opportunities to promote our Eagan amenities
to the masses. As we work with the entire Viking Lakes enterprise to continually grow current
events while also actively seeking out new and prosperous opportunities, needless to say, all of
our Eagan hotels, restaurants and attractions will be the benefactors of these efforts.
We’re also very excited about continuing to tout the great successes we’re experiencing in so
many other areas of our hospitality community. One of many examples involves promoting the
abundance of unique and locally-owned restaurants Eagan is becoming so well known for. New
culinary offerings such as Kitchen and Rail – voted “Best New Restaurant in the Twin Cities” this
past year by Mpls. St. Paul Magazine – along with tried and true Eagan dining destinations such
as Burgers and Bottles which recently earned a spot on the “2023 Best Burgers List” and Mason
Jar Kitchen and Bar which just landed on the best suburban dining destinations list all represent
great reasons for our many travelers to keep staying and spending in Eagan!
As we begin turning our attention to what’s in store for 2024, spearheading in the coming year:
During our 2023 Vikings Training Camp PR campaign, we partnered with three media
outlets from select primary feeder markets (Duluth, Fargo/Moorhead and Mankato) in an
effort to showcase our Eagan hospitality community to Vikings radio affiliate listeners.
Each partner brought a broadcast team into training camp, and in addition to touting the
Vikings and overall training camp experience, they also educated their audiences on why
any training camp trip needs to also include a stay in Eagan. Based on our initial
success, we have plans to expand the campaign in 2024 and are looking to include some
of our hospitality partners in the broadcasts via interviews.
2024 will represent a record investment specifically in our advertising and promotional
line items which combined will exceed half a million dollars. This extraordinary
commitment will allow for us to increase our market reach from 14 to 16 target cities while
also enabling us to dedicate more messaging specifically into the Canadian market.
The groundwork is currently being established for our new website which will continue to
serve as a dynamic and versatile tool for promoting our entire Eagan hospitality
community while also assisting visitors, helping us to attract major events, and collecting
valuable data for us which subsequently will be used to refine our marketing efforts.
We’re thrilled to be celebrating our organization’s 30th anniversary next year, and we also
plan on attracting and including visitors from across the region in the festivities by way of
our special “Cheers to 30 Years” promotional package which will of course include 30 fun
things to do in Eagan! In addition to creating a special “Pick Your Package” specifically
for this landmark occasion, many of our digital marketing and social media efforts will be
dedicated to inviting everyone to celebrate with (us) and savings.
Building and sustaining a steady diet of special events will no doubt play a critical role in
the future of our community’s economy and success in tourism. In Q1 of 2024, we plan
on launching a grant program which we feel will serve as a catalyst for tourism promotion
and community development. By providing financial support specifically to organizers of
new special events (ie: amateur sports, festivals, cultural celebrations, etc), our Eagan
hospitality community will in turn draw more visitors resulting in economic benefits for
stakeholders and of course the entire city. With the new program, we’ll also be
establishing strict guidelines for eligibility and how the funds are ultimately distributed by
way of a grant committee.

Agenda Information Memo
November 14, 2023, Eagan Special City Council Workshop
V. 2024 SUSTAINABILITY SPECIAL REVENUE FUND BUDGET
Action for Consideration:
To provide direction to Staff regarding the proposed 2024 Sustainability Special Revenue Fund budget.
Facts:
Special revenue funds are established to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue
sources that are restricted or committed to expenditure for specific purposes other than debt
service and capital projects.
At the February 21, 2023, City Council meeting, the City Council held a public hearing and
approved the Electric and Gas franchise fee ordinance. The franchise fee revenue is earmarked
to fund the City’s Sustainability Program and associated initiatives.
City staff provided an update on the sustainability program and reviewed a draft Sustainability
Fund Policy at the Joint Special City Council Workshop held on August 8, 2023. The 2023
Sustainability Special Revenue Fund budget alongside the Sustainability Fund Policy were
formally approved at the August 15, 2023, City Council meeting.
The 2024 budget is the first full-year budget for the Sustainability Program and will build on the
initiatives set for the city in 2023, effectively supporting the ecological, facility, and other
sustainability-related initiatives for the City as a means to help secure a sustainable Eagan for
future generations to come.
Franchise fees collected on behalf of the City by the local electric and gas service providers will
be remitted to the City quarterly. City staff anticipate that the quarterly revenue for 2024 will be
approximately $375,000, for a total franchise fee revenue of $1.5 million.
The 2024 budget includes funding for a climate action plan to be conducted, which will assist in
the creation of a strategic plan for future Sustainability Program initiatives. The strategic plan
will provide measurable goals and implementation actions identified to be completed over the
next several years and will be the driving force of future budgets. As a result, only the 2024
budget is being presented for consideration. Future budgets will follow the two-year budget
cycles utilized by other City Special Revenue Funds.
The 2024 budget includes a transfer out of $750,000 to fund Sustainability Program initiatives
for the first year of construction at the new Eagan Art House. The funding aims to construct a
new facility incorporating a geothermal heating and cooling system as opposed to a fossil fuel-
dependent system. Additionally, other alternatives that reduce energy consumption and
greenhouse gas emissions are currently under consideration in the design process of the Eagan
Art House.
Agenda Information Memo
November 14, 2023, Eagan Special City Council Workshop
To electrify the City’s vehicle fleet and reduce the City’s reliability on fossil fuels and the
resulting greenhouse gas emissions, the 2024 budget includes a transfer out to the Equipment
Revolving Capital Projects Fund for $100,000. This funding will cover the incremental costs
incurred to replace existing fleet vehicles with electric alternatives.
City Council requested on an annual basis a listing of all sustainability investments and the
associated return on investment as a form of justification for these funding dollars. Staff will
present a report at the annual joint meeting with the City Council and the SEAC to identify the
relevant financial benefits, as well as positive environmental metrics (i.e. greenhouse gas
emissions reduction) from the uses of the sustainability fund.
Staff responsible for this budget will be available at the meeting to expand on policy issues and
respond to questions.

2024 Operating Budget
Special Revenue Funds – Sustainability Fund (127)
HIGHLIGHTS & CHANGES
Overview: The Sustainability Program for the City of Eagan
officially began in 2023 with the establishment of franchise fee
ordinances for gas and electric utility accounts to fund key
sustainability initiatives across the city moving forward. The 2024
budget is the first full-year operating budget for the Sustainability
Program and will build on the initiatives set for the city in 2023,
effectively supporting environmental needs, facility energy
efficiency improvements, and other sustainability-related
initiatives for the city as a means to help secure a sustainable
Eagan for future generations to come.
2024 Highlight 1: The City of Eagan franchise fee ordinance for gas and electric utility accounts is the key funding source for
the City’s Sustainability Program. Due to the timing of establishing the ordinance, the 2023 operating budget reflects seven
months of franchise fee revenue, while the 2024 operating budget reflects a full year of franchise fee revenue.
Financial Impact: $625,000 increase in Franchise Fee Revenues
Service Level Impact: Franchise fee revenue is the primary funding source for the City’s Sustainability Program and will support
the environmental needs, facility energy efficiency improvements, and other sustainability-related initiatives for the City.
2024 Highlight 2: The 2024 operating budget includes funding for a climate action plan to be conducted.
Financial Impact: $100,000 in Professional Service Expenses
Service Level Impact: Funding will support the City in creating a strategic plan for future Sustainability Program initiatives, with
measurable goals and implementation actions identified to be completed over the next several years.
2024 Highlight 3: The 2024 budget includes funding to support sustainable and higher-efficiency alternatives for the first
year of construction of the new Eagan Art House.
Financial Impact: $750,000 in Transfer Out Expenses
Service Level Impact: Funding will support the Sustainability Program initiative, which aims to construct a new facility without
relying on a fossil-fuel-dependent heating system, instead incorporating a geothermal system. Furthermore, additional energy-
efficient alternatives to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions are currently under consideration in the
design process.

GENERAL INFORMATION
By definition, enterprise funds are established to account for self‐supporting activities with
revenues primarily from user fees at rates set by the City Council.
Other minor special revenue funds will be submitted for approval at a regular City Council
meeting in December.
The 2024 budget is the first year of the two‐year 2024‐2025 budget cycle.
The budget team has met on a regular basis during the last several months, including periodic
meetings with director and staff responsible for the enterprise and special revenue fund
budgets to discuss the impacts of COVID on the respective operations.
COVID had significant impacts on the three recreation enterprise funds: Cascade Bay,
Community Center, and the Civic Arena in 2020 and 2021. Resulting financial impacts are still
being felt in all facilities, however, the Arena and Cascade Bay are recovering at a faster pace
than the Community Center, and in most cases, are at pre‐pandemic levels.
Staff responsible for these budgets will be available at the meeting to expand on policy issues
and respond to questions.

The Public Utilities Fund budgets note a net cash outflow of $6.16 million in 2024 and $0.89
million in 2025. The higher than usual budgeted outflow amounts are from the increased capital
improvement costs in the Public Utilities budgets. As outlined in the AE2S infrastructure study
as presented in 2021, the lifecycle of the City’s infrastructure is beginning to necessitate
reinvestment and maintenance. To pay for these improvements, the City contracted with
Northland Securities to prepare a utility rate study that resulted in a long‐term financial plan to
institute utility rates, utilizes existing resources, combined with the issuance of bonds, to
achieve revenue sufficiency for operating and capital needs over the next 20 years for the
Water, Sewer and Storm Water Utility Funds. This model is updated and analyzed annually by
staff with the most recent and relevant financial information in an effort to propose utility rates
with financial sustainability of the Public Utilities Fund as a primary goal. As a result, $5.65
million of capital projects are proposed to be paid for with bond proceeds in 2025.
The Public Utilities budgets includes a Water Quality Maintenance position for 2024. This
position will increase Water Quality inspections and maintenance, support winter aeration
efforts and provide additional resources for snow and ice control operations.
The City participates in an annual utilities rate survey by AE2S, an engineering consulting firm.
In the 2023 survey, Eagan’s combined rates for water, wastewater and stormwater ranked 7th
lowest among the 29 Twin Cities metro communities responding to the survey.
User rates for the utilities are approved annually with the Fee Schedule adoption in December.
More information on the rate increases will be presented at the December 12, 2023 public
hearing on these and other rate adjustments. In addition, the following rate increases are
expected to be proposed based on the updated Northland Utility model:
o Water: 6.8 %
o Sanitary sewer: 9.2 %
o Street lighting: 1.5 %
o Storm drainage/water quality: 12 %
CIVIC ARENA
Parks and Recreation is proposing bumper cars on ice as a new program in 2024 with an initial
investment of $136,000. The funds will come from Civic Arena fund reserves, if available, to
launch the program or they would borrow from other internal resources as an internal loan if
with a payback on the investment to be in 4 years.
The Council will be asked to adopt all rates when the City‐wide fee schedule is adopted in
December. These rates will include a $5 increase to ice rental rates and skate school lessons.
With rental of ice‐time expected to be consistent with past years, the rate increase will result in
additional rental revenue for the facility.
The proposed 2024 Civic Arena budget does not include the use of ARPA funds.
Agenda Information Memo
November 14, 2023 Special City Council Workshop
CASCADE BAY
City staff will present new and existing rate changes in December that include increases $5 to
season‐long passes in 2024. This is expected to generate an additional $137,500 of revenue for
2024.
Total attendance for the facility amounts to just over 2.8 million patrons since its inception. In
2023, attendance for the year estimated to 119,000. In comparison, the facility’s average
annual attendance from 2010‐2019 (pre‐COVID) was 115,450.
The proposed 2024 Cascade Bay budget does not include the use of ARPA funds.
COMMUNITY CENTER
The Council will be asked to adopt all rates when the City‐wide fee schedule is presented in
December. The 2024 Budget includes adjustments to fitness memberships for gym and court
access. Other adjustments are minor in nature. Daily admission and fitness membership fees
are currently programmed to stay the same for 2024.
The Community Center continues to serve Eagan’s residents and businesses as a fitness center,
and an event and meeting facility.
From the Community Center’s inception, it was recognized that fee revenues from operations
would be insufficient to cover operating expenses. The budget has historically been balanced
using antenna lease revenues. In response to the negative impact COVID‐19 has had on the
Community Center’s operations, a combination of antenna lease revenues ($456,900) and ARPA
funding ($179,900) are forecast to be used in 2024.
The budget in 2025 includes transferring $471,600 of antenna lease revenue and follows the city
historic practice and direction of the City Council of using antenna lease revenue for financial
support. ARPA funding is no longer eligible to be used in 2025. Budgeted revenue is believed to
be based off conservative estimates and reserves are available to support the Community
Center expenditures if warranted after actual results are accounted for in 2025.
ETV
ETV is funded by a combination of PEG fees and franchise fees. By FCC rules, PEG fees can only
be used for programming costs, not staff costs, so franchise fees are transferred to the ETV Fund
to cover ETV staff costs and PEG fees fund the balance of the fund.
The proposed ETV operational budgets are mostly status quo except for the moving of ETV staff
to City Hall. Similar to the Public Utilities Fund, an internal transfer of PEG funds is included in
the 2024 and 2025 budgets to reimburse the General Fund for leased space and costs associated
with housing the ETV staff at City Hall.
Agenda Information Memo
November 14, 2023 Special City Council Workshop
Franchise Fee revenue is currently an operational funding source for ETV and the
Communications and Engagement Department. As noted in previous budgets, the revenue is
expected to continue to decline in 2024 and 2025, due to “cord cutting” competition and the
FCC rule changes. Estimates show the cash balance in the Franchise Fee Fund will be negative in
2026 without the use of Tax levy to pay for the Communications and Engagement Department.
Based on previous City Council direction, staff is phasing in tax levy funds to pay for the
Communications and Engagement Department. Remaining annual franchise fee allocations are
deemed to be sufficient to support E‐TV at its current operational levels through 2027.
TREE MITIGATION
2024 is the fifth of year of the seven‐year plan to remove trees infected by the emerald ash
borer (EAB). Costs for the removal of the EAB infested trees is proposed to be paid from the
Sustainability Fund beginning in the 2024 Budget.
Tree mitigation fees are funding the program, which includes one staff person and contractual
services for treatment and/or tree removal.
Tree mitigation funds are limited, and future revenue is dependent on development, uncertain
and unreliable for recurring operational expenses. The programming in this fund will be
monitored for appropriate level of funding in future years.
CEDAR GROVE PARKING GARAGE
2024 is the tenth year of operations of Cedar Grove Parking garage.
Parking stall lease revenue pays the majority of the costs associated with the care and
maintenance of the facility.
Tax levy support has historically been programmed to pay for a small portion of the parking
ramp costs. $62,000 is programmed in the 2024 budget.
Maintenance of the ramp is mostly performed through contractual services
OPIOID PREVENTION
At the November 1, 2022, the City Council approved a resolution to authorize participation in
the National Opioid Settlement agreement.
Settlements continue to grow with distributors, manufacturers, and retailers. The most recent
class‐action settlement is with McKinsey, a pharmaceutical company, for $207 million. The city
portion of the funds are still being determined and are expected to be received in 2024.
The proposed budget programs known class settlements revenue to date for the 2024 and 2025
budgets. Settlements are being distributed inconsistently to the City’s and County’s by the
appointed distributors and Staff is learning more regarding these distributions.
Agenda Information Memo
November 14, 2023 Special City Council Workshop
A modest amount of expenditures are programmed for community events, similar to the one
held in 2023, at this time. Staff is working with Dakota County Public Health on additional
programming use of the funds and will present budget amendments as programming becomes
clearer.
The City is expected to receive over $812,000 for the next 18 years based on what has been
settled to date. These funds are restricted to Opioid crisis response provisions and have no
timeline restrictions.
PUBLIC POLICY QUESTIONS
1. Is the City Council supportive of the proposed 2024 Enterprise and Special Revenue Fund
Budgets?
2. Is the level of ARPA dollars budgeted considered acceptable for the Eagan Community Center?

VII. Residential Program Facility and Residential Shelters
Direction for Consideration:
Provide direction to staff for proposed City Code amendments to Chapter 11 regarding
Residential Program Facilities and Residential Shelters
Background
➢ In September of this year staff presented Council background information and findings
regarding Residential Program Facilities and Residential (Emergency) Shelters.
➢ The City has been approached regarding two similar land use types that are not
specifically addressed within the Zoning Code. A privately operated Intensive Residential
Treatment Service (IRTS) facility (Residential Program Facility) and a Dakota County
operated emergency shelter (Residential Shelter).
Residential Shelters
➢ A Dakota County committee evaluated several potential properties for an emergency
shelter facility within the County, ultimately selecting the Norwood Inn as the preferred
site.
➢ Following a public meeting earlier this year, the County Board opted not to pursue State
grant money and instead will continue evaluating potential site s for a County operated
shelter.
➢ The County is seeking to provide a 40-bed congregate care facility that will focus on
transitioning shelter guests to stable housing. The facilit y would include private sleeping
and storage areas with shared bathrooms, dining, and living areas.
➢ The City of Eagan has three Residential Shelter type facilities that provide temporary
housing and services:
o The Lincoln House, a youth housing program that provides housing and services
to young adults ages 18 to 24 who have aged out of the foster care system. The
property is owned and operated by the Dakota County CDA. The use was
reviewed and approved through a Planned Development.
o Robert Lewis House, a women’s shelter that is owned and operated by 360
Communities. The 23-bed facility was approved in 1985 through a conditional
use permit within the Limited Business (LB) zoning district.
o Dakota Woodlands (previously known as Mary’s Shelter) assists up to 22
displaced families, including connecting them with service providers for
transportation, medical and social services, and finding permanent housing. The
use was approved through review of a conditional use permit in 1997 within the
Limited Business (LB) zoning district.
• Most recently, 360 Communities has announced it is seeking funding to construct a new
50-bed shelter on the site of the current Lewis House, expanding the current housing
capacity. A future phase is also anticipated adding 30 to 40 permanent supportive
housing units.
• The City Code currently allows “Community Service operations” as an accessory use
within the PF, Public Facilities zone district, generally in affiliation with a church
organization. Dakota County has coordinated with several Dakota County churches,
including a number of Eagan churches, to provide needed services and overnight stays
on a rotational basis.
Residential Program Facility (IRTS Proposal)
➢ At a July 2023 Listening Session, staff provided information regarding a proposal to
construct a 16-unit IRTS facility and its conformance to a Residential Program, as
defined in the City Code.
➢ The privately operated IRTS facility would provide community-based medically
monitored mental health rehabilitation/habilitation services with temporary stays of no
more than 90 days. Clients are provided sleeping and bathroom facilities within each
unit, and a centralized kitchen for food service. Facilities are licensed through the
Minnesota Department of Public Health.
➢ City Code currently includes a definition for “Residential Program”, however the use
terms included in the definition are dated and the use is not included within any of the
zoning districts.
➢ State Statutes currently allow residential programs with a licensed capacity serving 6 or
fewer persons within single-family residential zones. In addition, residential programs
serving 7 to 16 persons shall be considered a permitted multi-family residential use for
the purposes of zoning. Municipalities may require a conditional use permit to assure
proper maintenance and operation of a residential program. However, conditions
imposed must not be more restrictive than those imposed on other conditional use s of
residential property in the same zones unless the additional conditions are necessary to
protect the health and safety of the persons being served in the program.
➢ Residential Program Facilities include but are not limited to: state institutions unde r the
control of the Commissioner of Public Welfare, foster homes, residential treatment
centers, maternity shelters, group homes, residential programs or schools for
handicapped children.
Ordinance Highlights – Residential Program Facility section
➢ Existing Residential Program definition to be struck and replaced with new Residential
Program Facility definition.
➢ Residential program facilities serving six or fewer persons proposed to be allowed as a
permitted use in R-1 (Residential Single), R-1S (Residential Single - Small Lot), R-2
(Residential Double), and R-3 (Residential Townhouse) districts. Would also be allowed
through review of Planned Development or PD Amendment.
➢ Residential program facilities serving up to 16 persons are proposed to be allowed in R-4
(Residential Multiple), LB (Limited Business), and NB (Neighborhood Business) districts
upon the council's granting of a conditional use permit. (Note: Staff compared the use to
Assisted Living facilities, which are conditional uses in the LB and NB zoning district).
Would also be allowed through review of Planned Development or PD Amendment.
➢ Ordinance includes a provision restricting residential program facilities for placement of
parolees by the courts, court services department, parole authority or other correctional
agencies.
➢ A total of six performance standards are proposed and include:
o Minimum parking requirements
o 1,320-foot separation from other residential program facilities serving more than
6 persons
o Abiding by all federal, state and local regulations including MN Building Code.
o Requirement to place parking in driveway or parking lot.
o May be new or existing structures.
o City may impose additional conditions to address specific impacts of the facility.
Ordinance Highlights – Residential Shelters section
➢ Created separate section within Code to make it distinct from Residential Program
Facility.
➢ Staff modified the definition from “Emergency Shelter” to “Residential Shelter” to
capture other existing shelter facilities (i.e. Lewis House, Dakota Woodlands, etc.) that
provide housing and services.
➢ Similar to Residential Program Facilities, Residential Shelters have two categories based
on number of persons, those serving up to 16 persons and those serving no more than
75 persons.
➢ Residential Shelters serving no more than 16 persons are proposed to be allowed
through conditional use permit approval in the R-4 (Residential Multiple), LB (Limited
Business), and NB (Neighborhood Business) zone districts. Would also be allowed
through review of Planned Development or PD Amendment.
➢ Residential Shelters serving no more than 75 persons are proposed to be allowed
through conditional use permit approval in the NB and GB (General Business) zone
districts. Would also be allowed through review of Planned Development or PD
Amendment.
➢ Similar performance standards are provided for Residential Shelters as with Residential
Program Facilities.
Policy Questions
1. Is Council agreeable to the capacity limit of 75 persons for the larger Residential Shelter?
2. Should either use be included within the CSC, Community Shopping Center (Hotels are only
allowed in two zoning districts, CSC being one, CSC zones primarily include Towne Center
Area and area around Cliff Road and Nicols Road, other large commercial centers are
zoned PD with CSC being base zone)?
3. State Statutes do not include separation requirements for shelter facilities as with
Residential Programs. The draft ordinance currently includes a 1,320-foot separation
requirement from other shelter facilities, similar to the Residential Program Facility portion
of the ordinance. Is Council comfortable including a separation provision for shelters
(applicants would have option to request variance)?

Now Proposed
Policy Questions
1.Is Council agreeable to the capacity limit of 75 persons for the larger Residential
Shelters?
2.Should either use be included within the CSC, Community Shopping Center (Hotels are
only allowed in two zoning districts, CSC being one, CSC zones primarily include Towne
Center Area and area around Cliff Road and Nicols Road, other large commercial centers
are zoned PD with CSC being base zone)?
Policy Questions
3.State Statutes do not include separation requirements for Shelter Facilities as with
Residential Programs. The draft ordinance currently includes a 1,320-foot separation
requirement from other shelter facilities, similar to the Residential Program Facility
portion of the ordinance. Is Council comfortable including a separation provision for
shelters (applicants would have option to request variance)?
