Title
Adopt Resolution #16-07-132 Identifying the Need for Livable Communities Transit Oriented Development Funding and Authorizing an Application for Grant Funds; Case of Aeon Housing
Purpose/Background:
The purpose of this case is to adopt a resolution supporting the Aeon Housing Project in The COR for Aeon's Application for Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Funding.
Aeon is proposing a project consisting of 54 units of high-density residential in a three (3) story building. The Project Site is located on Outlot A, Ramsey Town Center 7th Addition. This parcel is currently owned by the City of Ramsey. The City Council approved a Purchase Agreement to sell a portion of this parcel to Aeon on May 10, 2016.

Notification:
Notification is not required.
Observations/Alternatives:
The Planning Commission reviewed the concept plan on May 5 and was generally supportive of the request. Minutes from said meeting are attached for review. The general concept is in alignment with The COR Development Plan. That being said, there are a number of review steps remaining in the process. This resolution is not official regulatory approval nor a signal that the project is in full compliance with Zoning Code.
Please note that this step was indicated in a previous, similar case for Aeon in June for their funding application to the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency.
Alternatives
Alternative #1 - Adopt Resolution. The concept is generally in alignment with the Development Plan. This resolution will support Aeon's funding request to the Metropolitan Council. The Metropolitan Council is a significant poential funding source for the project, so it is unlikely the project will move forward without this funding. This action does not obligate the City to any financial commitments.
Alternative #2 - Do not adopt resolution. As stated before, the project is unlikely to move forward without this funding package.

Motion to adopt Resolution #16-06-132 authorizing grant application to Metropolitan Council.
