Meyer: Here. Clerk: There are 7
members present. Meyer: We have a quorum. Before
we proceed, I'm gonna ask staff to give an update on what the
captioning situation is. Dahler: President Meyer, thank
you. Ken Dahler from the Clerk's Office. Just want to
note for those in the room that we are un--due to
some technical issues, we're unable to broadcast the meeting
tonight, so the only folks able to see us live right now are
those of us who are in the room. We will do everything we
can to get this meeting recorded and uploaded to our
usual YouTube channels at a

3
00:01:36.796 --> 00:02:09.262
later date, but we can
proceed with the meeting as normal and continue with
the Commission's business. Meyer: Thank you for that. All
right. So first, we're gonna move to the minutes for March
16, 2026. Is there a motion to adopt those minutes?
>> So moved. >> Second.
Meyer: Is there any discussion? All in favor say, "Aye."
>> Aye. Meyer: Opposed, abstentions.
The minutes are adopted. Next, we're going to organize the
agenda. I'm going to read through each item. If you are
here to speak against the staff

4
00:02:09.262 --> 00:02:43.763
recommendation for one of the
items, raise your hand when I call on that one. If you are
here to speak in support of something or just to make
neutral comments, you can do that during the consent agenda.
So if you were here for the street renaming in particular,
you'll have an opportunity to speak in support of the
project later on, but for now, we're just looking for
people who are against the staff recommendation. So staff is
recommending that item 4 be on consent. We're gonna discuss
item 5, the text amendment. Item

5
00:02:43.763 --> 00:03:18.164
6 is gonna be continued to the
next cycle, and then staff are recommending 7 and 8 for
consent, as well. So was anyone here to speak against the staff
recommendation for item number 4, Blaisdell Avenue between
Franklin Avenue West and 22nd Street West?
All right. So we'll keep that on consent. Number 5 we're
going to discuss. Number 6 we're going to continue. Is
anyone here to speak against the staff recommendation for
item number 7, 734 and 800 Tyler Street Northeast?
All right. We'll keep that on

6
00:03:18.164 --> 00:03:51.831
consent, and lastly, item
number 8, 1200 and 1204 East Lake Street. Was anyone here to
speak against the staff recommendation for item number
8? All right. We will keep that on
consent. All right. And then I believe we'll do the
continuance first, right? Yep. So is there a motion to
continue item number 6 to the next cycle? Sorry. We have to
open the hearing. Sorry. So if

7
00:03:51.831 --> 00:04:24.897
you wanted to speak to this,
you'll have a chance to in the next cycle when we're actually
gonna consider it, but if you came here now, you can also
speak now, so I'll open the public hearing for item
number 6. Would anyone like to speak to it?
All right. So we'll keep that open--gonna keep that hearing
open to the next meeting. Is there a motion to continue that
item? >> So moved.
Meyer: Is there a second? >> Second.
Meyer: All right. All in favor say, "Aye."
>> Aye. Opposed, abstentions? Item 6 is
continued. Now I'll open the consent agenda. So if you came
here to speak in support of

8
00:04:24.897 --> 00:04:57.063
something or to make a neutral
comment, you can do that now for any of our consent items.
Would anyone like to speak to any of our items? If you're
here for the street renaming, you might want to do that.
Yeah. Come on up and introduce yourself...
and you can have two minutes to speak.
>> Thank you. Can you hear me? Meyer: Yes.
>> OK. Thank you. Good evening, committee chair and members. My
name is Aileen Johnson. I live in Ward 3 in North Loop. I am
founder and president of the

9
00:04:57.063 --> 00:05:30.096
Minneapolis Police Honor Guard
and Color Guard Foundation. Our mission is to honor the
departed and comfort the bereaved. I'm here to speak in
favor of the proposal by the mayor and chief to rename the
small stretch of Blaisdell Avenue between West 22nd Street
and West Franklin Avenue to Officer Jamal Mitchell Way.
When Jamal was killed in an ambush shooting while attempting
to render aid, he left behind his life partner Tori and
4 children. All across Minneapolis, we grieve for their
deep and continued suffering. I

10
00:05:30.096 --> 00:06:00.560
visit with Tori and the children
frequently, and they are so hopeful that this honor to the
memory of their beloved Jamal will be given. I encourage you
to honor the sacrifice made by Jamal, Tori, and their children
to acknowledge their ongoing sorrow and to provide them
comfort by approving the renaming proposal. Thank you
for your time and consideration. Meyer: Thank you. Would anyone
else like to speak to the consent agenda?
All right. Not seeing any, so

11
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:32.692
I'll close the consent hearing.
Commissioners, are there any questions, discussion?
None? OK. Is there a motion to adopt staff recommendation for
consent agenda? >> So moved.
Meyer: All right. All in favor, say, "Aye."
>> Aye. Meyer: Against, abstain? That
is adopted. So if you came here for items 4, 7, or 8, those are
passed. Good luck with your projects, and now we'll go to
item number 5, the zoning code text amendment for safe outdoor
parking, and staff is Madel

12
00:06:32.692 --> 00:07:23.876
Mouta. Mouta: Oh, OK. Good afternoon,
commissioners. My name is Madel Mouta, and I'm here today with
Aspen Pflanz to present to you the Safe Outdoor Parking
Amendment. We initially brought this to you on October 9 of
2025 last year to a Committee of the Whole. To begin, I'll
walk you through some of the background that led to this
amendment. On December 15, 2023, the Minneapolis City
Council declared homelessness as a public health emergency.
The declaration included

13
00:07:23.876 --> 00:07:55.641
a commitment to explore a
range of tools, policies, and partnerships to respond in a
meaningful and urgent way. Building on that effort,
Council Member Chavez introduced an ordinance in November 2024 to
create regulated, safe outdoor spaces. The version before you
today focuses specifically on safe outdoor parking. This
amendment adds a new use to the zoning code that allows people
to legally stay in their cars overnight in designated managed
parking lots. These sites would

14
00:07:55.641 --> 00:08:27.740
require both an interim use
permit and a business license to ensure safe and responsible
operation. This change also requires coordination across
several parts of the Minneapolis code, including health, housing,
and licensing. All of these updates are intended to be
adopted together. This proposal is designed for people already
living in their vehicles, offering a legal managed place
to stay and a more consistent way to connect to services. It
recognizes that traditional shelters do not work for
everyone, whether due

15
00:08:27.740 --> 00:08:58.871
to capacity, safety concerns, or
personal preference, and position safe parking as an
early intervention that can help prevent people from falling
deeper into homelessness. This amendment is strongly
supported by the city's Comprehensive Plan, Minneapolis
2040. 3 key policies guide this work. First, Goal One,
to eliminate, focuses on eliminating disparities and
ensuring that all communities in Minneapolis can thrive.
Addressing homelessness is a big

16
00:08:58.871 --> 00:09:31.637
part of achieving this vision.
Second, Policy 40 calls for eliminating homelessness through
safe, stable, and affordable housing strategies. Safe outdoor
parking functions as a short-term option that can
connect people to longer-term housing. And third, Policy 85
emphasizes expanding equitable access to health, social, and
emergency services. Again, designated parking sites can
help make those services more consistent and more accessible.
Together, these policies show how this amendment fits
in with the broader city's

17
00:09:31.637 --> 00:10:09.108
housing and health strategies. Safe outdoor parking is one
tool among many. The city already has several zoning
tools that support people experiencing homelessness,
including emergency shelters, supportive housing, and
single-room occupancy, or otherwise called SROs. We also
have intentional community cluster developments, including
models like sacred communities, under state statute. These
tools serve different populations at different levels
of need, from structured housing to more flexible, lower-barrier
options. Safe outdoor parking

18
00:10:09.108 --> 00:10:40.172
fills a specific gap for people
living in their vehicles who are not accessing existing shelter
options. It adds another option within the system for people who
are currently not being reached. This amendment is informed by
real-world examples and collaboration across
departments. We looked at models in Duluth and in Denver.
In Duluth, the city adopted interim living sites in 2022. A
nonprofit called Safe Bay operates a seasonal safe
parking program from May to

19
00:10:40.172 --> 00:11:11.403
October with support from the
city. This is a strong example of coordination between public
and nonprofit partners. Denver's approach began as a
nonprofit-led effort during the COVID-19 pandemic and
was initially allowed as on a temporary basis. In 2023,
the city updated its zoning code to formally recognize
these sites as temporary managed communities, which included safe
parking, tiny home villages, and other temporary shelter types.
At its peak, Denver's program

20
00:11:11.403 --> 00:11:43.669
operated 13 sites and served
about 110 cars every night. While successful, it also
highlighted the importance of sustainable funding and
operational capacity. These examples show the importance
of clear zoning pathways, strong operational standards, and
coordination with service providers. This amendment
reflects these lessons by establishing a zoning and
license framework for safe, temporary, and managed outdoor
parking. In addition to studying

21
00:11:43.669 --> 00:12:14.133
peer cities, we also
had a lot of cross collaboration with regulatory services,
the Health Department, the City Attorney's Office, and with
Planning and Traffic, and with that, I will pass it to Aspen,
who will tell you more about the amendment specifically.
Pflanz: Thank you. Good evening, commissioners. My name
is Aspen Pflanz. I am going to speak to the specific zoning
code language that we are proposing. Safe outdoor spaces,
again, morphed into safe

22
00:12:14.133 --> 00:12:47.466
outdoor parking at this time,
and we created its own definition and use because it
didn't fit into any other definition we currently have in
the zoning code because it's not just parking, but it's not
entirely housing, so with that, this use would be a new use in
our Institutional and Civic use category that would be allowed
in any zoning district, which is similar to our intentional
community cluster developments, but it would be allowed as an
interim use only. Typically, our interim uses have to be allowed
as a conditional use in a

23
00:12:47.466 --> 00:13:20.766
permitted district. However,
with the temporary nature of this use, we decided to make
it interim use only, which has a maximum duration of 5 years, but
in the zoning code, we had to create new findings for this use
because typically interim use permits also have to meet all 6
conditional use permit findings. So in the actual ordinance
language, you'll see 5 findings proposed for interim only uses,
which is a combination of the 5-year maximum duration, as well
as the specific--some

24
00:13:20.766 --> 00:13:53.365
specific use standards from
the conditional use--from conditional uses that we have.
The definition is that safe outdoor parking would
be "an establishment operated by a nonprofit organization,
government agency, or religious organization where off street
parking spaces are provided for the purpose of legally
sheltering overnight in personal passenger vehicles within an
existing parking area." The population intended to be served
by this use are people already sheltering overnight in their
personal passenger vehicles, so

25
00:13:53.365 --> 00:14:25.964
RVs would not be permitted,
and neither would tents or other structures. The approvals
required would be an interim use permit only and a business
license, which would go concurrently before the
Business, Housing, and Zoning Committee and which would
be approved by council and have a public hearing, and the
specific use requirements for the zoning code that
we landed on were that a 10,000-square-foot minimum
lot size, an existing off-street parking lot would be where
the use was located, and

26
00:14:25.964 --> 00:15:01.433
that a management plan depicting
all parking areas, facilities provided, and security measures,
which staff would be able to review, as well as tailored to
the business license, which would really take care
of the operations and management of the site. Given that this use would
require other changes in other parts of the code, we
anticipate those being changes to Title 13 business licenses
and regulations. Again, whether it's a new business license
type or it is looped into their

27
00:15:01.433 --> 00:15:34.333
commercial parking lot license
is still being considered. We have been working with them the
last several months to discuss what type of operational
standards might be required with this but being very careful
not to include those in the zoning language because
we're not necessarily equipped to handle enforcement like
licensing staff is, but things that would be included would
be on-site staffing for the lots, daily clearance of the
site so that it's really only

28
00:15:34.333 --> 00:16:05.330
operational through overnight
hours that would be set by the particular operator.
Sanitation facilities that would be provided, whether that's in
accessory structures or included as part of a primary
building existing on the site. Security measures, as well
as restrictions on prohibited activities. Title 11 relating to
health and sanitation. Again, if sanitation facilities were
provided, such as portable bathrooms, handwashing stations,
we would want to make sure that

29
00:16:05.330 --> 00:16:38.330
the current language in Title 11
allows for that. Title 12 relating to housing maintenance
code is that typically sheltering in your vehicle
overnight is not allowed in the city, so an exception would have
to be made for this use to be operating, and then lastly, we'd
like to touch on our idling ordinance in the city. You're
not allowed to idle in a vehicle for more than a few minutes per
hour unless there are very specific cases where if it's a
health or safety emergency or temperatures are very low or
very high, there are exceptions

30
00:16:38.330 --> 00:17:13.398
to that. We are not proposing
that this use not abide by the idling ordinance. We are just
encouraging staff to take extra consideration that if changes
were needed for that ordinance that those would come forward
when the whole package goes to council for safe outdoor
parking. At this time, it is written in our proposed language
that operators and occupants using these sites would abide by
our idling ordinances. However, not limiting this use to
a season, we want to ensure that

31
00:17:13.398 --> 00:17:49.534
if folks are in their vehicles
during hot or cold temperatures or need to power devices
that other power source or heating and cooling
alternatives be explored through their management plan. And we also just want to be
very clear that we are here proposing zoning code changes,
but the business license operations management questions
are still being considered, which would, again, ensure that
the shelter type being allowed at these sites are passenger
vehicles only, the hours of operation are limited to
overnight only, occupants and

32
00:17:49.534 --> 00:18:20.232
all of their belongings would
need to clear the site daily, security and safety would be
included that's specific to their site and that particular
operator, and sanitation would also be required such
as active garbage service, water, bathrooms, and that these
ordinance changes, when ready, would also require
public hearing so folks will have more of an
opportunity to provide input.

33
00:18:20.232 --> 00:18:53.598
With that, we are recommending
approval of our proposed changes, but we would happily
answer any questions that you may have.
Meyer: Thank you. Before we proceed to the public hearing,
would anyone like to ask any questions? Commissioner
Sheppard. Sheppard: Thank you for that.
Thank you for the update. I just have one small
administrative question. Some zoning ordinances cover this,
and some don't, and this might be more of a business license
issue, but in the licensure, is there
consideration for an escrow

34
00:18:53.598 --> 00:19:29.534
that might mitigate the city's
risk should, unfortunately, as in Denver's case, it had to
shut down for lack of funds? This is pretty much the only
legal situation in which we can suggest an escrow.
Clerk: Commissioner Sheppard, the zoning code right now does
not have any applications or development types that require
an escrow. Sheppard: Thank you.
Meyer: Any other questions? Commissioner Jones.
Jones: I'm curious as to why you don't include RVs.
Meyer: Can you turn your mic on, please?
Jones: Sorry. I'm curious as to

35
00:19:29.534 --> 00:19:59.698
why you chose not to include
RVs, which seems like another reasonable place to hang out at
night. Pflanz: Yeah. I would say that
staff determined passenger vehicles being allowed only
because in other parts of our code we prohibit recreational
vehicles in residential areas. I think it's in our UN1 and UN2
districts, and so if--we would

36
00:19:59.698 --> 00:20:30.662
have to change other parts of
the code to allow for recreational vehicles, which if
we're specifically prohibiting in residential areas anyway and
we're proposing this use be allowed anywhere. That was one
consideration. Also lessons learned from places like Duluth
and Denver. Obviously, they're big recreational destinations,
and they have found success limiting it to non-recreational
vehicles, given that they wanted the use to specifically
serve folks experiencing homelessness rather than someone
going on a camping trip.

37
00:20:35.100 --> 00:21:14.105
Meyer: Anyone else? All right.
Not seeing anyone else, so I will open the public hearing.
Would anyone like to speak to this item? Is anyone in the
audience here for this? >> I'll speak.
Meyer: Yep. You can come on up, introduce yourself, and you
have two minutes. >> So my name is Janet Lenius.
I live in the Saint Anthony West neighborhood. I'm very
tall, so I'll raise this up. I actually have a homeless couple
living a door down from me in

38
00:21:14.105 --> 00:21:44.369
their vehicle, so this is
interesting to me because then rather than staying in a
neighborhood, they could have a place to take their vehicle for
overnight, so I would be interested in contact info so I
would have a place to refer them to once this
opens. OK. Thank you.

39
00:21:44.369 --> 00:22:15.233
Meyer: Thank you for your
testimony, and you can stop by the clerk over here to write
down your information. We can have someone connect with you.
Um, that actually--oh, sorry, did anyone else want to speak
to the--for the public hearing? Anyone else? OK. I will close
the public hearing, and that prompts a question from me. So
it's not guaranteed that any of these sites will actually
happen, right? We're just allowing them, but there
would have to be a nonprofit

40
00:22:15.233 --> 00:22:47.799
that steps up to do
this. Is that correct? Pflanz: Correct.
Meyer: OK. So just for Janet, I don't know if you heard that,
but it's not guaranteed that we'll have any of these. This
just allows them if a church or another nonprofit were to
choose to establish them, so there's no guarantee that you
would have a place to, but if someone steps up, this would
authorize it. Chowdhury: Put myself in the
queue. Meyer: Commissioner Chowdhury.
Chowdhury: Thank you so much,

41
00:22:47.799 --> 00:23:20.365
Chair Meyer. I just prepared
some remarks for this zoning text amendment, so for those
who don't know me, my name is Aurin Chowdhury. I serve on the
Minneapolis City Council, and I am the appointed member to the
Planning Commission. Me, Council Member Chavez, Council
Member Chughtai have been talking about a safe outdoor
space model for over 4 years now. We started this discussion
when Council Member Chavez

42
00:23:20.365 --> 00:23:51.563
actually was first elected, and
I was a policy aide in his office, and we're bringing
forward several ordinances related to safe parking to
make this a reality, so today is actually such a exciting
day to see all the work that our staff put in to bring forward
this zoning text amendment and recommend it for approval. I
really wanted to take some time to highlight a lot of the
successes that we have been hearing about, particularly
in Duluth, Minnesota. It is an

43
00:23:51.563 --> 00:24:23.528
evidence-based case that we can
replicate here in Minneapolis that is managed--that shows that
managed parking produces measurable safety, housing, and
public health benefits for people experiencing homelessness
at a relatively low cost. We actually had a budget amendment
that we discussed in prior years following suit to what Duluth
was doing, and that looked at for a season it was about
$150,000 to $200,000 for

44
00:24:23.528 --> 00:24:56.895
what they were looking
to do. In Duluth, Safe Bay has demonstrated a lot
of quantifiable outcomes. During the single recent operating
season, the program served over 164 individuals and helped 17
people transition into permanent housing, which represents a
really meaningful short-term rate for housing placement and a
low-barrier intervention. We recently had a report to the
Minneapolis City Council on

45
00:24:56.895 --> 00:25:29.160
encampments and encampment
closures. We have an encampment closure reporting ordinance that
gives us this information, and one thing that the
Regulatory Services Department started highlighting that
was really interesting for us is that they found--they had
59 different incidents in one quarter in the city of
Minneapolis of community members experiencing homelessness and
staying in their car, so I think this is really just something
that is coming at an

46
00:25:29.160 --> 00:26:02.827
important moment in time in
our city, especially when we see so many of our community members
struggling. Hennepin County is the place where Health and
Human Services happens. That's where shelters happen, and
we hear all the time from Hennepin County that they're
almost nearly full or at full capacity, and they're a shelter
all county for families, and we advocate every single year here
in Minneapolis to the federal government for any type of
funding, and of course, we know

47
00:26:02.827 --> 00:26:34.759
the current state of the federal
government, and so that funding is really tough to get, and so
having unique initiatives like this is just a great way to meet
people where they're at, and I also wanted to kind of highlight
some of the public safety benefits that we've seen in
Duluth and heard from our counterparts there. So public
safety data shows that over the roughly 6 months of operation
that they had, they had only 8 police calls which were recorded
at the site, and those included

48
00:26:34.759 --> 00:27:06.524
two medical incidents,
indicating low incident rates compared to unsanctioned
encampments or people that are just trying to find a place
to sleep, whether it's, like, at a storefront or under a
bridge. This also supports broader research that shows that
sanctioned safe parking sites reduce exposure to crime,
harassment, and displacement while improving neighborhood
management compared to our current state of homelessness,
and so I'm asking all of you

49
00:27:06.524 --> 00:27:39.257
to support this zoning code text
amendment today so we can really kick off making safe outdoor
spaces and safe parking a reality. And to Janet, who asked
about "How do I refer this to community members that are in
need?" when this becomes a reality--and that's what we're
gonna work towards--I really recommend getting in contact
with your city council member because they'll be able to get
you connected to the staff that will ultimately be the point
person for this. And so I'm

50
00:27:39.257 --> 00:28:15.026
really excited to see this move
forward, and I'm excited to keep on talking to all of you
about all the next steps on making safe parking a reality.
Meyer: Thank you. I'm also very excited about this and want to
thank you, Council Member Chavez, and Council Member
Chughtai for all the work you did bringing it forward.
Chowdhury: Chowdhury, not Chugtai.
Meyer: She's listed as an author, too.
Chowdhury: Oh, I thought you were talking about me. Sorry.
Meyer: I said--no. Chowdhury: Ha! Sorry.
Meyer: All 3 of you. [Laughter]
Yeah. So I think this is a

51
00:28:15.026 --> 00:28:48.393
really great improvement over
the status quo. Obviously, we all want to see people housed
in proper housing, and we on the Planning Commission have
been working to, you know, allow more housing to get
built, but when we have shortages and when there aren't
enough shelter spaces, I think this is a good solution, and
I'm glad that it's being put forward in a really thoughtful
and managed way. I'm also glad that you're not proposing any
change to the idling ordinances.

52
00:28:48.393 --> 00:29:19.057
I do think that would be a
significant negative if there were parking lots filled of
idling vehicles for extended period periods of time. That
could be a real health issue, so I'm glad we put this forward,
and I'm happy to support it. Any other commissioners
like to speak to it? Commissioner Gordon?
Gordon: Yeah. Thank you for all of your work on this. I just
think in thinking about housing, it's really interesting and
thinking about expanding the definition of housing, and I
think that's what

53
00:29:19.057 --> 00:29:49.787
you're doing is a vehicle
being an extension of housing itself. so I think any way that
we can do to expand housing from 4 walls and a roof into
other elements itself is important just for our
conversations. So thank you. I'll be supporting this.
Meyer: Thank you. Commissioner Garcia.
Garcia: Yeah. I would like to also thank you for all your
hard work on this. It's really impressive to look through this
and to see the creativity that went into it, as well as the
research. I've heard such

54
00:29:49.787 --> 00:30:23.254
positive things about the safe
parking in Duluth from friends and colleagues who live there,
and as a Park Board commissioner, you know, we have
a long history of seeing what happens when people don't have
a space to go but are forced to move anyway and the difficulties
that that causes, the challenges that it raises for our unhoused
neighbors. and I also will be excited to support this because
I think that this is a great

55
00:30:23.254 --> 00:30:57.855
stop gap opportunity for us
to give people an opportunity to have someplace safe that they're
comfortable staying while looking to either find more
permanent housing or to just gather resources to move
on their journey, so thank you for your work.
Meyer: Thank you, Commissioner Garcia. Would anyone else like
to speak? Commissioner Chowdhury, would
you like to move your motion? Chowdhury: Yes. So moved.
Meyer: So moving the staff

56
00:30:57.855 --> 00:31:30.088
recommendation. Is there a
second? Garcia: Second.
Meyer: Any last discussion? Commissioner Sheppard, you had
your mic on. OK. Sheppard: Oh! Just--
Meyer: You can go ahead if you want.
Sheppard: Just to vote. Meyer: OK. All right. All
in favor, say, "Aye." >> Aye.
Meyer: Opposed, abstentions. That is adopted, and that
concludes our business for the day. Our next Planning
Commission meeting will be Monday, April 20, and we have
no Committee of the Whole this week. Are there any updates
from staff or commissioners? Clerk: Yes, just an update that
we are about to enter our CLIC

57
00:31:30.088 --> 00:32:00.318
season. So a couple of
reminders. Thursday--this Thursday, Committee of the
Whole will be canceled, but Thursday April 23, the Planning
Commission Committee of the Whole will preview capital
budget requests that are coming forward. Then Thursday, May 7
is the joint CPC and CLIC public hearing, and a reminder,
again, that that requires a full quorum of the
Planning Commission, not the Planning Commission Committee of
the Whole. We have--I think Commissioner Jones is absent
that day, so let me know of any

58
00:32:00.318 --> 00:32:30.348
other absences, but we will need
a full quorum at that, and then Thursday, May 21, CPC-COW will
consider capital budget requests and project location and design
review, and then June 8 is the last stop where that will be
on the full Planning Commission agenda. So a couple of Committee
of the Whole meetings that will definitely be on
your calendars coming up. Meyer: Thank you. Anyone else?
All right. Not seeing any, so we are adjourned.
