FINANCING PLAN: CONTROL DATA CORPORATION REDEVELOPMENT SITE
DISTRICT 8
The total costs to be incurred by the expenditure of public funds for the
assembly of the Control Data Site is $2,152,700. These cost figures are
based on estimates for acquisition, relacation, site clearance, and a
contingency amount. The Redevelopment Plan Amendment describes all
activities which are to take place in order to accomplish the project.
These cost figures include acquisition of five properties in the south
half of Block 78 and seven properties in the north half of Block 96
outside the Control Data Site, which will be added to existing HRA awner-
ship in these half blocks and made available far housing or institutional
development as alternative resources to use of the Control Data Site for
these purposes. This acquisition will be considered as a part of the
Redevelopment Plan for CD Year III, but f�nded in the amount of $189,550 -
for all costs as a part of, the Cantrol Data project.
The attached table outlines the estimated total project expenditures and
indicates the sources of funds. The sources include the u tilization of
CD Year YI funds, disposition proceeds, and funds in the PTDP Temporary
Loan Repayment Account. The use of the NDP funds necessitates a Revised
NDP Urban Renewal Plan.

OPINION
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Saint Paul has requested the Planning
Commission to render its opinion on a proposed redeve1opment plan for a 13.76
acre site in Summit-University on Concordia and Carroll Avenues between Dale
and Mackubin. The Plan, known as the Control Data Redevelopment Plan Amendment,
is an amendment to the Summit-University Redevelopment Plan.
� The Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the project
with the following modification: That the alley between Carroll and Iglehart
which runs east and west between Kent and Dale, be excluded from the redevelopment
plan project boundary and not vacated at this time.
SUMMARY OF REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT - DISTRICT 8
The Redevelopment Plan Amendment for District 8 was initiated as a result of a
specific developer interest expressed by Contro1 Data Corporation. In discussion
with Control Data, their stated objectives regarding the design, intended use, '
types of employment and b1ending into the community were found to be similar to
the needs of the community (District 8) , as well as fulfilling objectives of the
Community Development Block Grant Program.
Previously approved Redevelopment Plans covering this area established that mu1t1-
and single-family residential deve1opment should be the predominant land use. These
plans also establis�ed the original approved eligible clearance area.
Acquisitjon, relocation, demolition and land marketing attempts have been going on
since the first redevelopment plan was adopted in 1970. The Housing and Redevel-
opment Authority has had difficuity in marketing this land, especially those lots
which are adjacent to the freeway. Federa1 and State mortgage money has been
difficult to obtain for either sing1e-or-multi-family development. The inherent
negative effects of the freeway on residential quality of 1ife has been the main
reason. A non-residential corporation is now pi11ing to invest private capital
to develop this land. Their intended objectives address the issues of potentially
providing jabs for inner-city residents, increasing the tax base of the city, and
develaping a long-term interest in Saint Paul on a site which has been difficult
to market for r.esidential purposes.
STAFF REVIEW
After reviewing this redevelopment pl�n, the planning staff inet with the HRA staff
who had prepared the plan. Comments were given to the HRA staff and resulted
in changes while the redevelopment plan was still in a rough draft form.
Only tc�:�o comnents were not facilitated at that time. The first cor�nent pertained
to the proposed inclusion of the alley mentioned above. P1anning staff felt
that due to the fact that whatever uses developed in the south half of the block
surrounded by Carroll , Kent, Iglehart and Dale would need the land occupied by �
the alley more than the proposed Control Data to the north. It was understoo�
at that time that a parking 1ot was proposed for the area between Kent and Dale,
north of this alley.
�
�Furthermore, Control Data site plans do not include this area nor show desire
for its use.
After a recent discussion with the HRA planning supervisor, Jerry Mangle, he is
not opposed to this modification to the submitted redevelopment plan.
The other corr�nent which dTd not amend the redevelopment plan in its rough draft
stage was the reference to a "computer parts distribution center" rather than ' �
� "industrial " in every case where it is mentioned. Planrring staff was concerned
that in case Control Data did not construct a facility, there might be a
possibiiity of the developmen� of an industrial facility which would not be
compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood. .
Discussion between HRA and Planning staff in this matter have indicated that there
will be sufficient development controls to assure that the land will be developed
in a manner which will be compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood.
.
PROJECT ASSESSMENT
7ax Return Potential
The proposal involves construction worth $5 million. This may generate
approximately $200,000 in taxes per year when in operation.
An alternative use would be institutional . This alternative will return no tax
base since these would be mainly non�profit institutions.
Another alternative is single or multiple fami1y home use. The site could hold
40 single family homes. If a $1 ,000-$1 ,500 per home tax is assured, the property
would generate only $40,000-$60,000 in taxes.
Public Services
Since the site is now laid out for smaller scale, residential or institutional
uses, the C�ntro1 Data proposal will require change of the pub1ic utilities in
order to serve the office-warehouse. Some utilities will need to be relocated
in order to allow vacation of streets within the proposed site.
Employment
The proposed project employs 400 persons. These jobs now exist at scattered sites
throughout the Twin Cities. Control Data has made no co�nitment to hire any new
employees from the Summit-University area or from the entire city. However, the
location of those jobs within Saint Paul will make them more accessible and Saint
Paul residents will be more competitive in filling them. The close proximity of
this employer, coupled with their strong affirmative action program, should result
in increased job opportunities for Saint Paul residents. The jobs re1ated to -
the Control Data activities at this site will consist of both skilled and unskilled
positions.
_2_
The move of this facility to Saint Paul may also have an effect on residential
demand in the Summit-University area. The new location of this facility may
encaurage present Control Data employees to relocate in Saint Paul to be close
to work.
Land Use Adjustments
The critical issue of this Redevelopment �lan is land use compatihility. The
proposal interjects an affice and warehouse use�into 1��d, previously d�signated
for housing and small institutional uses. The proposed site, however, borders
I-94 to the north. While considerab1e housing has 6een built along the freeway
in the past, current planning practice recognizes a conflict fietween housing and
and the traffic, dust and noise associated with the interstate freeway system.
The Control Data proposal could be an effective buffer between the residential
area to the south and the freeway.
The Control Data proposal seems to be a better neighbor to the residential area
than would be the freeway. The Redevelopment Plan offers the opportunity
through its design control provisions to insure a successful boundary between
the Control Data site and the resid�ntial area to the south. Through the design
controls and uses on the site, landscaping and buffers can be arranged so that a
minimal impact is created upon the adjoining residential areas.
Environmental Qualit
An environmental assessment both for the Minnesota Environmental Quality Council

OPINION
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Saint Paul has requested the Planning
Commission to render its opinion on a proposed redevelopment plan for a 13.76
acre site in Summit-University on Concordia and Carroll Avenues between Dale
and Mackubin. The P1an, known as the Control Data Redevelopment Plan Amendment,
is an amendment to the Sumnit-University Redevelopment Plan.
The Planning staff recomnends that the Planning Comnission approve the project
with the following modification: That the alley between Carroll and Iglehart
which r.uns east and west between Kent and Dale, be excluded from the redevelopment
plan project boundary and not vacated at this time.
SUh�IARY OF REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDNtfNT � 't�ISTRICT 8
The Redevelopment Plan Amendment for District 8 was initiated as a result of a
specific developer interest expressed by Control Data Corporation. In discussion
with Control Data, their stated objectives regarding the design, intended use,
types of employment and 61ending into the community were found to be sim9lar to
the needs of the comnunity (District 8j, as we11 as fulfilling ob�ecttves of the
Community Development Block Grant Program.
Previously approved Redevelopment Plans covering this area established that multi-
and single-family residentia1 development should 6e the predominant land use. These
plans also established the original approved eligible clearance area.
Acquisition, relocation, demolition and land marketing attempts have been going on
since the first redevelopment plan was adopted in 1970. The Housing and Redevel-
opment Authority has had difficulty in marketing this land, especially those lots
which are ad�acent to the freeway. Federal and State mortgage money has been
difficul.t to obtain for either single-or-multi-family development. The inherent
negative effects of the freeway on residential quality of ltfe has been the main
reason. A non-residentia1 corporation is now �rilling to invest private capital
to develop this land. Their intended objectives address the issues of potentia1ly
providing jobs for inner-city residents, increasing the tax base of the city, and
developing a long-term interest in Saint Pau1 on a site which has been difficult
to market for r.esidential purposes.
STAFF REVIEW
After reviewing this redevelopment plan, the planning staff inet with the HRA staff
who had prepared the plan. Comnents were given to the HRA staff and resulted
in changes while the redevelopment plan was still in a rough draft form.
Only two comments were not facilitated at that time, The first comnent pertained
to the proposed inclusion of the alley mentioned above, Planning staff felt
that due to the fact that whatever uses developed in the south half of the block
surrounded by Carroll , Kent, Iglehart and Dale would need the land occupied by
the alley more than the proposed Control Data to the north. Tt was understood
at that time that a parkjng lot was proposed for the area between Kent and Dale,
north of this a11ey.

•
� ��+,, � . . � . . � � � . .
Furthermore, Control Data site plans do not include this area nor�sht�w desire
for its use.
After a recent discussion with the HRA planning supervisor, Jerry Mangle, he is
not opposed to this modification to tf�e submi�ted redevelopm�nt plan.
The other comment which dfid not amend the redevelopment p1an in its rough draft
stage was the reference to a "computer parts distribut9on center" rather than
"industrial " in every case where it is mentioned. Planning staff was concerned �
that in case Control Data did not construct a faci1ity, there might be a
possibiiity of the development of an industrtal facility which would not be
compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood.
Discussion between HRA and Planning staff in this matter have lndicated that there
will be sufflcient developmen� controls to assure that the land will be developed
in a manner which will be compati61e with the surrounding residential neighborhood.
PROJECT AS�ESSMENT
Tax Return Potential
The proposal involves construction worth $5 m�1lion. This may generate
approximately $200,000 in taxes per year when tn operation.
An alternative use would be institutional . Th1s alternative will return no tax
base since these would be mainly non-profit institutions.
Another alternative is single or multiple family home use. The site could hold
40 single family homes. If a $1 ,000-$1 ,500 per home tax is assured, the property
would generate only $40,000-$60,000 in taxes.
Public Services
Since the site is now laid out for smaller scale, res�dential or institutional
uses, the Control Data proposal will require change of the public utilities in �
order to serve the office-warehouse. Some utilities will need to be relocated
in order to allow vacation of streets within the proposed sfite.
Employment
The proposed project employs 400 persons. These �obs now exist �t scattered sites
throughout the Twin Cities. Control Data has made no comnitment to Fiire any new
employees from the Summit-University area or from the entire city. However, the
location of those jobs within Saint Paul will make them more accessible and Saint
Paul residents will be more competitive in filling them. The c1ose proximity of
this employer, coupled with their strong affirmative action program, should result
in increased job opportunities for Saint Paul residents. The jobs related to
the Control Data activities at thls site wi11 consist of both skilled and unskilled
positions.

� ' � � . , . . � . .. , ..
The move of this facility to Saint Paul may also have an effect on residential
demand in the Summit-University area, The new location of this facility may
encourage present Control Data employees to relocate in Saint Paul to be close
to work.
Land Use Adjustments
The critical issue of this Redevelopment �lan is 1and use comP3tihility. The �
proposal interjects an office and warehouse use�into 1a�d, previously d�esignated
for housing and small institutional uses. The proposed s1te, however, borders
I-94 to the north. While considerable housing has been built along the freeway
in the past, current planning practice recognizes a conflict #etween housing and
and the traffic, dust and noise associated with the interstate freeway system.
The Control Data proposal could be an effective buffer between the residential
area to the south and the freeway.
The Control Data proposal seems to be a better neighbor to the residential area �
than would be the freeway. The Redevelopment Plan offers the opportunity
through its design control provisions to lnsure a successful boundary between
the Control Data site and the residential area to the south. Through the d�sign
controls and uses on the site, landscaping and buffers can be arranged so that a
minimal impact is created upon the adjoining residential areas.
Environmental Quality
An environmental assessment both for the Minnesota Enviror�nental Quality Council
and for the possible use of Comnunity Development Block Grant Funds, has been
initiated. This assessment will examine the project in detail to ascertain any
potential environmental effects. The assessment will evaluate such items as:
potential noise, land use, air quality, aesthe�ic and socioeconomic effects
from the project.

SUhq�IARY OF REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENOI��NT � 'DISTRICT 8
The Redevelopment Plan Amendment for District 8 was initiated as a result of a
specific developer interest expressed by Control Data Corporation. In discussion
with Control Data, tF�eir stated objectives regarding the design, intended use,
types of employment and blending into the community were found to be similar to
the needs of the comnunity (District 8), as well as fulfi1ling objectives of the
Community Development Block Grant Program.
Previously approved Redevelopment Plans covering this area established that multi-
and single-family residential development should be the predominant land use. These
plans also established the original approved eligi6le c1earance area.
Acquisition, relocation, demolition and land marketing attempts have been going on
since the first redevelopment plan was adopted in 1970. The Housi'ng and Redevel-
opment Authority has had difficu1ty in marketing this land, espec�tal1y those lots
which are adjacent to the freeway. Federal and State mortgage money has been
difficul.t to obtain for either single-or-multi-family development, The �nherent
negative effects of the freeway on residentia1 quality of ltfe has been the main
reason. A non-residential corporation is now pilling to invest private capital
to develop this land. Their intended objectives address the issues of potential1y
providing jobs for inner-city residents, increasing the tax base of the city, and
developing a long-term interest in Saint Pau1 on a site which has been difficult
to market for -r.esidential purposes.
STAFF REVIEW
After reviewing this redevelopment plan, the plann�ng staff inet with the HRA staff
who had prepared the plan. Comments were given to the HRA staff and resulted
in changes while the redeve1opment plan was still in a. rough draft form.
Only two corrments were not facilitated at that time. The first comnent pertained
to the proposed inclusion of the alley mentioned above. Planning staff felt
that due to the fact that whatever uses developed in the south half of the block
surrounded by Carroll , Kent, Iglehart and Dale would need the land occupied by
the alley more than the proposed Control Data to the north. It was understood
at that time that a park9ng lot was proposed for the area between Kent and Dale,
north of this a11ey.

� �� � . . � . � � . . . . . . � � . . ...
Furthermore, Control Data site plans do not include this area nor show desire �
for its use.
After a recent discussion with the HRA planning supervisor, Jerry Mangle, he is
not opposed to this modification to the submitted redevelopment plan.
The other comnent which d�d not amend the redevelopment plan in its rough draft
stage was the reference to a "computer parts distrlbution center" rather than " �
"industrial" in every case where it is mentioned. Planning staff was concerned
that in case Control Data did not construct a facility, there might be a
possibiiity of tf�e development of an industrfial facility which would not be
compatible with the surrounding residentia1 neighborhood.
Discussion between HRA and Planning staff in this matter have indicated that there
will be sufficient development controls to assure that th� land will be developed �
in a manner which will be compatib1e with the surrounding residential neighborhood.
PROJECT ASSESSMENT
Tax Return Potential
The proposal involves construction worth $5 millfon. This may generate
approximately $200,000 in taxes per year when tn operation.
An alternative use would be institutional . This alternative w�ll return no tax
base since these would be mainly non�profit tnstitutions.
Another alternative is single or multiple family home use, The site could hold
40 single family homes. If a $1 ,OOp-$1 ,500 per home tax is assured, the property
would generate only $40,000-$60,000 in taxes.
Public Services
Since the site is now laid out for smaller scale, restdential or institutional
uses, the Control Data proposal will requTre change of the public utilities in �
order to serve the office-warehouse. Some utilities will need to be relocated
in order to allow vacation of streets within the propo9ed sfite.
Employment
The proposed project employs 400 persons. These ,�obs now exist at scattered sites
throughout the Twin Cities. Control Data F�as made no comnitment to hire any new
employees from the Sumnit-University area or from the entire city. However, the
location of those jobs within Saint Paul wi11 make them more accessible and Saint
Paul residents will be more competitive in filling them. The c1ose proximity of
this employer, coupled with their strong affirmative action program, should result
in increased job opportunities for Saint Paul residents. The jobs related to '
the Control Data activities at this site will consist of both skilled and unskilled
positions.

. � � � �. .. � , . � . � �� . , .
The move of this facility to Saint Paui may also have an effect on residential
demand in the Sumnit-University area. The new locatlon of this facility may
encourage present Control Data employees to relo�ate in Saint Paul to be close
to work.
Land Use Adjustments
The critical issue of this Redevelopment �lan is land use comp3tib111ty. The
proposal interjects an office and warehouse use�into lawd, 1^eviously daslgnated
for housing and small institutional uses. The proposed si�e,. however, borders
I-94 to the north. While considerable housing has been buflt along the freeway
in the past, current planning practice recognites a conflict �etween housing and
and the traffic, dust and noise assocfated with the interstate freewa�y system.
The Control Data proposal could be an effective buffer between the r�sidential
area to the south and the freeway.
The Control Data proposal seems to be a better neighbor to the residential area
than would be the freeway. The Redevelopment Rlan offers the oppor�unity
through its design control provisions to insure a successful boundary between
the Control Data site and the residenti 1 area to the south. Through the design
controls and uses on the site, landscap�ng and buffers can be arranged so that a
minimal impact is created upon the ad�oining resid$ntial areas.
Environmental Qualitv
An environmental assessment both for the Minnesota Environmental Quality Council
and for the possible use of Comnunity Development Block Grant Funds, has been
initiated. This assessment will examine the pro�ect in detail to ascertain any
potential environmental effects. The assessment will evaluate such items as:
potential noise, land use, air quality, aesthe�ic and socioeconomic effects
from the project.

OPINION �
_�„____
The Housing and Redevelopment Authortty of Saint Paul has requested the Planning
Comnission to render its opinion on a proposed redevelopment plan for a 13.16
acre site in Surmnit-University on Goncordia and Carroll Avenues between Dale
and Mackubin. The Plan, known as the Control Data Redevelopment Plan Amendment,
is an amendment to �i�e Summit-University Redevelopment P1an.
The Planning staff recommends that the Planning Comnission approve the pro�ect
with the following modification: That the alley between Carroll and �glehart
which runs east and west between Kent and Dale, be excluded from the redevelopment
plan project boundary and not vacated at this time.
SUMMARY OF REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AMEN�EN7 ��::C3ISTR�CT 8
The Redevelopment Plan Amendment for District 8 was initlated as a result of a
specific developer interest expressed by Control Data Corporation. In discussion
with Control Data, their stated ob�ectives regarding the design, intended use,
types of employment and blending into the community were found to be similar to
the needs of the comnunity (District $�, as well as fulfilling ob�ectives of the
Community Development Block Grant Program.
Previously approved Redevelopment Plans couering this area established that multi-
and single-fami1y residential deve1opment should 6e the predomtnant land use. These
plans also establisfied the original approved eligi6le c1earance area.
Acquisition, relocation, demolition and land markettng attempts have been going on
since the first redevelopment plan was adopted in 1970. The Hous'ing and Redeve1-
opment Authority has had difficulty in marketing this land, especially tf�ose lots
which are adjacent to the freeway. Federd1 and State mortgage money has 6een
difficul.t to obtain for either single-or-multfi-family development, The inherent
negative effects of the freeway on residentl'al qualtty of life has been the main
reason. A non-residential corporation is now silling to invest prtvate capital
to develop this land. Their intended objectives address the issues of potentially
providing jobs for inner-city residents, increasing the tax base of the city, and
developing a long-term interest in Saint Pau1 on a site which has been difficult
to market for �r.esidential purposes..
STAFF REVIEW
After reviewing this redevelopment plan, the planning staff inet with the HRA staff
who had prepared the plan. Comnents were given to the HRA staff and resulted
in changes while the redevelopment plan was sti11 in a rough draft form.
Only two comnents were not facilitated at that time. The first comment pertained
to the proposed inclusion of the atley mentioned above, Planning staff felt
that due to the fact that whatever uses developed in the south half of the blo�k
surrounded by Carrol1 , Kent, Iglehart and Dale would need ti�e land occupied by
the alley more than the proposed Control Data to the north, Tt was understood
at that time that a parking lot was proposed for the area be�ween Kent and Dale,
north of this alley.

Furthermore, Control Data site plans do not �nclude thi.s area nor shoW desire

After a recent discussion with the NRA planning supervisor, Jerry Mangle, he is
not opposed to this modification to �F�e submitted redevelopment plan.
The other comment which did not amend the redevelopment plan in its rough draft
stage was the reference to a "computer parts distribution center" rather than
"industrial" in every case where it is mentioned. Planning staff was concerned � �
that in case Control Data did not construct d facility, there might be a
possibiiity of the development of an industrial �Facility which would not be
compatible with the surroundtng residential neighborhood.
Discussion between HRA and Planning staff in this matter have indicated that there
will be sufficient development controls to assure that the land wi71 be developed
in a manner which will be compatible with the surroynding residential neighborhood.
PROJECT ASSESSMENT
Tax Return Potential
The proposal involves construction worth $5 m�llion. This may generate
approximately $200,000 in taxes per year when in operati'on.
An alternative use would be institutional. This alternative will return no tax
base since these would be mainly non�profft institutions.
Another alternative is single or multiple family home use, The site could hold
40 single family homes. If a $1 ,000-$1 ,500 per home tax is assured, the property
would generate only $40,000-$60,000 in taxes.
Public Services
Since the sjte is now laid out for smaller scale, residential or institutional
uses, the Control Data proposal will require change of the public utilities �n -
order to serve the office-warehouse. Some utilities wi11 need to be relocated
in order to allow vacation of streets within the propo9ed stte.
Employment
The proposed project employs 400 persons. These �obs now exist at scattered sites
throughout the Twin Cities. Control Data has made no comnitment to hire any new
employees from the Summit-University area or from the entire city. However, the
location of those jobs within Saint Paul will make them more accessible and Saint
Paul residents will be more competttive in filling them. The c1ose proximity of
this employer, coupled with their strong affirmative action program, should result
in increased job opportunities for Saint Pau1 residents. The jobs related to '
the Control Data activities at this site wi11 consist of both skilled and unskilled
positions.

•£ .
The move of this facility to Saint Paul may also have an effect on residential
demand in the Summit-University area. The new location of this facility may
encourage present Control Data employees to relocate in Saint Paul to be close
to work.
Land Use Adjustments
The critical issue of this Redevelopment �lan is land use comp3tibility. The
proposal interjects an office and warehouse use�into la�wd, previously �e igrlated �
for housing and small institutional uses. The proposed site, however, �rders
I-94 to the north. While considerable housing has been built along the freeway
in the past, current planning practice recognizes a conflict f�etween housing and
and the traffic, dust and noise assoclated with th� interstate freeway system.
The Control Data proposal could be an effective buffer between tMe residential
area to the south and the freeway,
The Control Data proposal seems to be a better neighbor to the residential area
than would be the freeway. The Red�velopment Plan offers the opportun�ty
through its design control provisions to lnsure a successful boundary be�ween
the Control Data site and the residential area �o thc south. Through the design
controls and uses on the site, landscaping and buffers can be arranged so that a
minimal impact is created upon the adjoining residential areas.
Environmental Quality
An environmental assessment both for the Minnesota Environmental Quality Council
and for the possible use of Community Development Block Grant Funds, has been
initiated. This assessment will examine the project in detail to ascertain any
potential environmental effects. The assessment will evaluate such items as:
potential noise, land use, air quality, aesthetic and socioeconomic effects
from the project.

INTRODUCTION
This Redevelopment Plan Amendment has been developed as a result of negotiations
between the City of 5aint Paul and the ConCrol Data Corporation. Control Data
is proposing to construct within the Martin Luther King area of District 8
(Summit-University) a new office and parts distribution ceAter. Control Data
has received favorable endorsement from the Aistrict 8 Planning Council at its
last meeting (May 23, 1977) f�r a site which both groups feel is feasible for
such a facility. The site is generally located to the north and west of the
present Martin Luther King Center facility.
The total pro3ect includes several parcels of land which are already publicly
owned. It is necessary to acquire an additional thirty-one (31) parcels to
produce a site which is approximately 13.76 acres in size. This total site
will then house a structure which caill employ approximately 400 persons from
other satellite locations and contain over 200,OQ0 square feet of floor space.
It is concluded that this development is a desirable asset to the Summit-
University Neighborhood as well as the City of Saint paul.
The purpose of this document is to amend only that portion of the "CD Year II"
and "Neighborhood Development Program Redevelopcnent Plan - Year V" which pPr-
tains to the area described in the Le�al Description and Boundary Map section.

REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
A. STATEMENT OF DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES
The primary overall development objective in Community Development District $
is to eliminate and/or ameliorate those existing conditions which serve t�
impair the health, safety, morala, and generaZ welfare of the citizens of the
District, and which also serve to inflict an ecoROmic blight upon exsiting
` private investment in some areas, and threaten the sources of public revenue.
The conditions which have been found to exist which cause the above noted
factors include unsafe and unsanitary housing conditions, overcrowd�ng, building
absolescence or faulty arrangement in building design or improvement, deleterious
land use, lack of adequate light, ventilation or sanitary faGilities, inadequate
public facilities, such as streets, sewer facilities, or other equally deleterious
conditions. There also has been found to be an inadequate supply of jobs in
the District, particularly for familfes of low and moderate incomes and a deter-
iorating tax base for the City of Sairct Paul. A primary objective of this
Redevelopment Plan is to provide an opportunity for private enterprise to
alleviate the above conditions.
Specific objectives to be achieved within the context of the foregoing are
as follows:
1. To provide for efficient use of land so that each particular land use
will function without adversely affecting or being adversely affected
by adjacent land uses. New construction should be physically and
visually compatible in design and scale with nearby parts of the
existing neighborhood.
2. To remove blight and conditions of deterioration by:
a. Undertaking a program of acquisition and demolition of buildings
blighted to the extent of being incapable of being rehabilitated,
substandard buildings, or buildings otherwise determined to
represent blighting influences.
b. Aiding and promoting programs such as the removal of houses from
redevelopment sites (housemoving) in order to preserve existing
structures which can be rehabilitated to decent housing.
3. To foster the economic stability of the City and District 8, and to
-4- , Redevelopment Plan
t
� 1
e�courage new private investment.
4. To encourage and support proposals for economic development within
the Dis.trict which may have some immediate effect on patterns of
employment or general well-being of the community.
5. To assure safe and adequate vehicular and pedestrian circulation
" patterns and capacity.
6. To encourage the continuing participation by the members of the
community in the planaing and programming of renewal activities for
their respective neighborhoods.
B. EXISTING ANl3 PROFOSED LANJ USE PLAN (See Proposed Land Use Map attached)
The introduction of light industrial land use represents a change to the
previously approved Land Use Plan for the Summit-University area, The
previous plan recomaeended residential uses. The rationale for this change
is as follows:
1. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority has experienced difficulty in
marketing residential land_ ad�acent to the freeway for the past several
years. Due to the negative influence of the freeway, federal mortgage
money is not available for residential construction, A light industzial
corpor.ation is now willin.g to invest private capital to develop this
land.
2. The Summit-University area has for a number of years had a high rate
of unemployment. It also has been the �ea of the highest concentration
of low and moderate-income households, as well as the largest population
of non-white families and individuals in Saint Paul. This facility has
the potential of providing job opportunities.
3. An opportunity to develop the area with a transitional use has become
possibleo It is� desirable to provide a graduation of land uses away
from the influence of the freeway. The light industrial use would
effect a buffer between the freeway and the siregle-family homes to the
southe

C. CONTROLS
1. Function or Character
The Redevelopment Plan provides a light industrial site for the
consolidation of functions currently located throughout the region.
Off-street parking and off-street loading spaces are included.
Program activi.ties also will be directed toward eliminating adverse _
effects from light industrial uses on adjacent residentia2 areas.
2. Permitted Uses
Permitted uses are those which are not hazardous due to explosion
or fire, or offensive or noxious by way of noise, unsightly appearance
or emissions. No new residential or commercial uses shaZl be permitted.
3. Density and Building Restrictions
Density limitations, setbacks, off-street parking and off-street Ioading
shall be required for new construction and such requirements shall be
determined by the Renewal Division prior to land disposition activities.
Such restrictions, in a11 instances, will be not less restrictive than
the curren� applicable codes and ordinances of the City of Saint Paul
except in those instances where a legitimate cause for variances can be
determined to be beneficial to all concerned parties.
D. STREETS AI�ID ALLEYS
AZ1 streets and alleys within the subject araa are to be vacated and an
internal circulation system will be established as part of the development
p1an. A11 street and alley vacations will be processed through the nornia.l
petition procedure. (See Map Noo 3)
A review of the development plan by the State Department of Transportation
will be necessary. Their concern will be the use of Concordia Avenue since
it is the fxontaoe road of Interstate 94.
E. URBAN RENEWAL TECHNIQUES TO BE USED TO ACHIEVE PLAN OBJECTIVES
The followi.ng techniques are cited as a means of achieving the objectives
set forth in prior sections of this document.
1. Vacant land which is currently underutilized will be acquired and
subsequently disposed as part of the redevelopment site.
'�' Redevelopment Plan
2. Properties which are substandard or blightittg influences or are needed
for public purposes to effect objectives of this plan wi11 be acquired
and the buildings removed. The properties wi1Z then be assembled and
disposed vf as part of the redevelopment site.
3. Relocation of site occupants displaced by public action will be uader-
-- taken with the intent to assist those disglaced in securing adequate
relocation resources which meets their needs and is within their
means.
4. Maximum citizen involvement will be encouraged through the structure
specified by the City and now in effect through the citizen participation
process.
F. LAND DISPOSITION
The Renewal Division may elect to dispose of the site in total or stages
which ever method will best accomplish the purposes of this'Plan. In
any case, all disposition of sites will follota the requirements of State
and Federal laws.
G. REDEVELOPER'S OBLIGATIONS
The general requirsments to be imposed by the Contract £or Sale between
the redevelopers of property in the District and the city's Renewal
Division are:
l. To develop the land purchased in accordance with the controZs and
objectives of this Redevelopment Plan.
2. To attract developers who will have an awareness and sensitivity to
neighborhood plans. �
3. To cornmence and complete the building of improvements on the land
within a reasonable period of time as determined by the Renewal
Division.
4. Not to resell the land before improvements are made without the prior
consent of the Renewal Division.
-8- Redevelopment Plan
5. Not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or
national origin in the sale, lease, transfer, or occupancy of the
land.
6. The contract and disposition documents will spell out in detail the
provisions, standards and criteria for achieving applicable objectives,
requirements and regulations contained in the Redevelopment Plan.
H. URBAN DESIGN OBJECTIVE AND CQNTROL
The Renewal Division may contract for sale of property upon receipt
and acceptance of preliminary plans, but normally will not dispose of
property under such contract prior to receipt and acceptance of construction
drawings. The Division shall retain the right of design review and may
reject any proposal which is felt to be inconsistent with the goals and
objectives of the Plan. Specific design objectives and criteria will be
established for the site prior to disposition, and proposals will be
evaluated in the light of this Plan's objectives and criteria.
I. DURATION OF CONTROLS
The development controls and regulations will be incorQorated into the
deeds conveying land and shall be ma.intained and continued in effect for
a period o£ thirty (30} years from the date of approval of the Redevelopment
P1an by the City Council of Saint Paul.
J. OTHER PROVISIONS NECESSARY TO MEET STATE AND L�AL REQUIREMENTS
1. Non-Discrimination
Every contract fn r sale, lease or redevelopment of property within the
project area will include prohibitions against land speculation,
require compliance with all State and local laws in effect from time
ta time, prohibit discrimination or segzegation by reasons of race,
religion, color, sex or national origin in the sale, lease or occupancy
of the property, and require that this latter provision be made a
cozrenant running with the land and be binding upon the redeveloper and
eVery successor in interest to the property.
-9- Redevelopment Plan
2. Vacations, Dedications and Covenants
Vacations and dedications of public rights-of csay shall be
accomplished by separate actions in accordance with State law and
local ordinances and will be initiated by the Division or redeveloper.
3. Citizen Fartication
It is the intent of this Redevelopment Plan, and of the goveraing
body of the City of Saint Paul, that active participation by the
citizens of the City of Saint Paul be encouraged in the continuing
planning and implementation of the program. Therefore, to the extent
possible in a manner consistent with Federal, State, and local law
policy and regulations, it is the intent that all activities to be
undertaken under the pravisions of this Plan be done with the know-
ledge and advice of the Citizen Participation Organization which is
recognized by the City Council.
4. Environmental Review
An ecrv ironmental review of a redevelopmznt plan is not required prior
to action of the Planning Commissione If this project proposal is
adopted and Community Development Block Grant Funds are used, a Com-
munity Development Environmental Review will be required. It is
possible that the size of the praject will require preparation of a
Minnesota Environmental Assessment Worksheet. City Planning has
begun preparation of both of these rev�ews. ,
The attached Matrix of Environmental parameters lists those environ-
mental concerns. 0£ the nine major headings, ft appears that air
quality, noise, land, aesthetics, and socio-economic will be of
greatest concern in the reviews for the Control Data project. (See
next page for Mat�ix. of Environmental Parameters) .
K. PROVISIONS FOR AMENDING PLAN
The Redevelopment Plan may be modified at any time by the City of Saint Pau1,
in the manner provided by law.

PROGRAM FOR IMPLEMEPITATION
PROGRAM FOR IMPLEMENTATION
In order to fulfi.11 community objectives which addressed the issues of economic
development for this area as well as the City and region, the acquisition of
parcels of land to assemble this development site is necessary. Conununity
Development funds which will be used to assembie the site will lever private
reinvestment in the inner-cfty' area of Saint Paul.
While much of the land within the approximately three-square-block redevelopment
is a�ready publicly owned, the acquisition of additional Iand is needed to pro-
duce the total site. The acquisition and subsequent construction will be staged
in order to complemertt the activities of the proposed development and facilitate
the efficient process necessary to purchase, clear and sell the site. This
staging will occur generally along the lines of approximately one-half of the
total siCe (easterly portion) being in the first stiage. The second stage will
include the remainder of the site (westerly portion) for development of completed
circulation patterns within the site and provision for off-street parking.
The following are estimated:
Acquisition
31 parcels (including 9 vacant lots of which 4 are tax forfeit lots)
23 structures
39 dwelling units
1 non-xesidential unit
$550,000
Relocation
(For residenti.al and non-residential)

(For all structures)
$ 40,000
�OTAL $997,000

' ' PROJECT ELIGIBILITY REPORT
A. ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES
As indicated in the "Program for Implementation," this proposed redevelopment
activity is to be accomplished through the utilization of part of the Year II
Community Development contingency fund. The primary objective of_ the Community
Development Program is "the development af viable urban communities, including
decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic oppor-
tunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income," (Fedexal Register
570.200). Federal assistance is provided for the support of Community Develop-
ment activities which are directed toward the achievement of this overall
objective. Although guidelines for the undertaking of a CD program are less
restrictive than those of previous programs and grant the local municipality
more flexibility in the kinds of activities which may be initiated, all elements
of Che program must as a minimum meet certain criteria as delineated in the
section of the Federal Register devoted to regulations governing Community
DeveZopment.
The following .�xcerpt outlines those activities which are eligible for federal

B. DEVELOPMENT OF PROJECT ELIGIBILITY
Evaluation of building conditions is a vital first step in the planning process.
Any system for classifying buildings must produce an accurate description of
observed conditions and be based on clearly defined and acceptable standards.
A system of building classifications according to strucCural conditions has been
developed over the years within the Saint Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Neighborhood Development Program. In 1967 and subsequent years during the initi-
ation of NDP, the Saint Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority contracted with
Barton-Aschma�t Associates, Incorporated to prepare an urban renewal svrvey
technique that would accurately identify and evaluate the extent of deterioration,
blight or slum conditions existing in project areas. These standards and subsequent
-I5- Project Eligibility
_ __ _ _ _. _ _ __
surveys provided the basis for substantiating the need for public action in the
area in accordance with established local, state, and federal legal and adminis-
trative requirementso As each structure was examined, inspectors noted all
deterioration and inadequacies as they might be influenced by age, quality of
maintenance,. adequacy of original constructian, and obsolescence, regardless of
whether code violations were present or not. Upon completion of the inspectfon
and subsequent evaluation of the field survey, an overall building condition
rating was. established from the following categories;
Sound - A structure with minimal defects and in a standard condition requiring .
normal maintenaace
DeiicienC buildings contain defects which are not eaaily correctable and cannot be
accompliehed in the course of normal rnaintenance. The classification of minoz or
major reflecta the degree or �xtent of defects found during the inspection.
Minor - A strvcture classified as de£icient--requiring minor repairs--hzving eiore
than three minor defects.
Ma or - Buildin�s classified as ci�fzcient--requiring rusjor repairs. �
Substendard - A structure containing defects which are so serious, so extensive that
they adversely affect all or a large part of the structure that repair is probably
not feasible. ,
Blight{_nF Inf�uence - A term used to describe an exfsting condition which (1} applies
specifically to the building being surveyed, (2) has an apparent adverse or degrad-
ing effect on other existing development.
Types of blighting influence are:
Incompatible Uses or riixed Use - A use (or a mixture of uses in a single baild-
ing) that is incompatible with the majority of uses in the immediate area, such
as A mixture of commercial and re�iden*_ial use in a single building or the
presence of a manufacturing use in a predomir.3teZy residential area. There
must be a�significant adverse effect generFted by the incorepatibility or _
admixture.
Overcrowding of Buildings on the Land - Excessive land coverages by buildings
resultino in a restriction of access, servicin;, light and air circulation,
and other factor� which i�pair the functional efficiency of the building or
the health and sa£ety of its occupants, such as small lot aize on excessively
nerrow frontage.
-16- Project Eligibility
.
Excessive Dwelling Unit Density - Overcrowding of dwelling units within a build-
ing, or on thc 1�_n3, to an er.tent that the health and safety of the residents
. of the particular building or c;eighborhood building is endangered.
Obsolete Building Type - A building whicli can no longer efficiently perform the
function for which it Uas originally constructed, This may be manifest in
. vacancy for an extended period of time, in full or partial abandonment or in
� conversion to uses which are unsafe or unhealtliy £or accupants.
Underutilization of Land - Undereloped land, or lnnd developed significantly
be2ow the leve2 of davelopment of the nefghborhood and its environs constitute
a blightfng in£luence. Such ini•luence is manifest when such underutilization
has e retardant effect on the econo�ic, physical or cocial health of the
neighborhood.
Other ldentifiable Hazards -
Vacant un3 van�alized �tructures--sr.ructures which constitute attractive�
nuisanccs to children and 2dul.ts cahich are vacant and whi.ch are vandnlized or
are open to vAttdalisr, •
Combustible I�aterials - Structurea covered �aith combustible mzCerials end
located within four feeG of another e�tructure constitute n dan�er of spreading
fire. � •
In NDP Year I, Clearance Area I was established by action of the Saint Paul City
Council, the Saint Paul City planning Commission, and Department of Housing and
Urban Developmento The subject area is contained within this established clear-
ance areao Clearance eligibility (a standard utilized within the Urban Renewal
and Neighborhood Development Program under HUD Guidelines) requires that 20% of the
total buildings be substandard and that 50% of the totaZ buildings be substandard
and blightede This requirement was satisfied by the above czted govern.^�ental
actions.

Chis area passesses conditions by reason of dilapidation, obsolescence, over-
crowding, faulty arrangement or design, Iack of ventilation,. light and sanitary
facilities, excessive land coverage or deleterious land use or obsolete layout,
or any combination of these or- other factors, which are detrimentaZ to the
safety, health, morals or welfare of the community and collectively they
constitute a "Blighted Area" (Minnesota Statutes Section 462.421, Subd. 11.).

Saint Paul curreatly r�intains 16 hi-rise buildings for the elderly and handicapped in
all sections of the city. There are a total of 2,660 units in these buildings, out of
which approximately 255 are expected to become available in any twelve-month period.
The city has three pro�rar.es designed to meet the housing needs of low-income families.
The traditional housing for low-income families is congregate public housing; the
city has four of these developments, two small �roups of suah housing totaling
1,349 units. The other three prograMS are oriented to dispersing lower-income families
- throughout the city. The city has bought 86 Scattered Site Units and 97 HOPLIF units.
The acattered siCe units are rented to low-income families in the sane manner as
• congregate housiag. Tl1e Ii�pLIF program is a program through which a tenant eventualiy
becoMes a homeowner. Thase three progra�s result in the availability of approxiut3tely
326 units per yePr.

TnIFA plans for t�i.ngle-fnraily r.iortgage and Multi-fumily new construction, and through
the Housing Recycliug Program. Several propo3als for maderc�te-income units are
currently in varioua stages of planning under the rIl{I'A-Family program.
Section 8 - Existi:�g Housing
Section 8 is the im?lea:entation componenC for policies stated in the Housing Assistenee
Plan. During CD Year IZI, it is intended that all Section S units allocated for the
cicy of Saint Paul will be used for rental assistance to families who are of low or
moderate income and who will Ue living in staadard rental units. The number for
Year III will be based on the t�etropolitan Counci.l's Subaidized Housing Allocation Plan,
currently being drafte3. The ciCy has estab}.ishe3 a goal of 150 units for a housing
resource in Year III ia the Housing Assistance Plan.
Eligible families under this program will pay between 15 and 25% of their income for
rent. HUD will pay the difference between that AmounC and the fair-market rental rate,
including uti2ities. Eligibility is dete'rmined by gross family income, which c►ust be
less than 80% of the 1970 median income by f�mily size for the riinneapolis-Saint Paul
Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area. Theae lirsita are as follows:
. � � • Maximum �4nnual
Family Size Income Linits
1 $ 9,600
2 I1,000 .
3 Z2,400
k 13,000
5 14,700
6 ' 15,500
� 7 . � 16,400
8 or more 17,300 .
It should be noted that there is a significant difference between the Section 8 limits
and the moderate-in�ome limits under older programs; presumably these differences will
be adjusted. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority converted its 970 units of leased
housing to the Section 8 prooram in 1976 and has a total of 1,056 units in this program.
Section 8 - New Construction and Substantial Kehabilitation
I3ew construcCion units under the Section 8 program may be funded by the Minnesota
Housing Finance,Agency; the ciCy has no separute allocation for this program. llnits
. leased under the Section 8 program will constitute 20% of the total units in the project.
The Housing Assiatsnce Plan sets 265 units of new construction and 50 units in the
substt�ntiul rehabilitaCion program as realistic goals for Year III.
Family eligibility is based on tha same schedule of maximum annual income limiCs as

(maxiuium) grant, displaced honeowners are able to find housing in the private mar�et.
Displaced renters needin� 1 and 2 bedroom units are also competitive on the private
raar'�et with the aid of Replacement Housing Payments.

REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT
TO
A PRQGR.AM FOR THE REVITALIZEITION
OF THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL
CD YEAR II
(CONTROL DATA SITE)
May 27, 1977
� ` �
INTRODUCTION
�
,
• •
INTRODUCTION
This Redevelopment Plan Amendment has been developed as a result of negotia-
tions between the City of Saint Paul and the Contral Data Corporation.
Control Data is proposing to construct within the Martin Luther King area of
District 8 (Su�nit-University) a new office and parts distribution center.
� Control Data has received favorable endorsement fro� the District 8 Planning
Council at its last meeting (May 23, 1977) for a site which both groups feel
is feasible for such a facility. The site is generaYly located to the north
and west of the present Martin Luther King Center facility.
The total project includes several parcels of land which are already publicly
owned. It is necessary to aequire an additi�nal thirty-one (31) parcels to
produce a site which is approx3.mately 13.76 acres in size. This total site
will then house a structure which will employ approximately 40Q persons from
other satel.liCe locations and contain over 200,000 square feet of floor space.
It is concluded that this development is a desirab2e asset to the Summit-
Unieersity Neighborhood as well as the City of Saint Paul.
The purpose of this document is to amend those portians of "A Program for the
Revitalization of the City of Saint Paul, CD Year II," February 5, 1976, and
the "Redevelopment Plan, Summit-University, Minn. A-1-1, Code ND 401," Febru-
ary 1974 which pertains to the area described in the Legal Description and
Boundary Map section.
The text changes and map changes recommended for the "Reaevelopment Plan,
Summit-University, Minn. A-1-1, Code ND 401," dated February 1974, are herewith
attached as Exhibits A and B respectively. -
-1- Introduction

APPROVED COUIVCIL FILE NO.
AMENDMENT TO THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN, StJMMIT-UNIVERSITY, MINN. A-1-1, GODE ND 40I
FEBRUASY 1974
Tnsert into Section C. General Land Use. Plan under Item 2. Description of each
_ �redominant l.and use category on the Land Use Plan: Map No. 1, ND 401, Che
following:
e. Light Industrial
(1) Intended Function or Character
The Light Industrial area is intended to �rovide a Zand use transi-
tion beCween the Interstate I-94 Freeway and residential development
to the south. Uses permitted in this area will not be effected by
the noise of the freeway and will function as a bu£fer for existing
homes to be rehabilitated or new homes to be built. Care will be
taken in how the southern edge of the area will. be treated to ensure
compatibility batween uses. Also, consistent with Federal Community
Development Objectives, a Light Industrial use in this area has the
potential of providing employment in a neighborhood which has both
a low-income population and blighted deteriorated housing.
(2) Permitted Uses
All uses permitted under the "I-1 Industrial District" of the
Zoning Ordinance, City of St. Paul, Minnesota shall be permiCted.
(3) Density and Buildinp Restrictions
Restrictions concerning building caveraga, setbackss off-street
parking aad loading, height, signs, and lighting shall be determined
by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Saint Paul. -
Such restrictions, in all instances, will be not less restrictive
than the currently applicable codes and ordinances of the city of
Saint Paul.

REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
A. STATEMENT OF BEVELOPMENT 0�3JECTIVES
The primary overall development objective in Community Developmen� District 8
is to eliminate and/or ameliorate those existing conditions which serve to
imQair the health, sa€ety, mora}.s, . and general welfare of the ciCizens ot the
District, and which also serve to inflict an economic blight upon exsiting
private investment in some areas, and threaten the sources of public revenue.
The conditions which have been found to exiat which cause the above noted
€actors include unsafe and unsanitary housing conditions, overcrowd�Eng, building
obsolescence or faulty arrar�ement in building design or improvement, deleterious
land use, lack of adequate light, ventilation or sanitary facilities, inadequate
public facilities, such as streets, sewer facilities, or other equally deleterious
conditions. There also has been found to be an inadequate supply of jobs in
the District, particularly for families of low and moderate incomes and a deter-
iorating tax base for the City of Saint Paul. A primary objective of this
Redevelopment PZan is to provide an opportunity for private enterprise to
alleviate the above conditions.
Specific objectives to oe achieved within the context of the foregoing are
as forlows:
�.. To provide for efficient use of land so that each particular land use
will funct�on without adversely affecting or being adversely affected
by adjacent land uses. New construction should be physically anc3
visually compatible in design and scale with nearby parts of the
existing neighborhood.
2. To remove blight and conditions of deterioration by:
a. Undertaking a program of acquisition and demolition of buildings
blighted to the extent of being incapable of being rehabilitated, '
substandard buildings, or buildzn�s otherwise determined to
represent blighting influences.
b. Aiding and promoting programs st►ch as the removal of houses from
redevelopmQnt sites (t�ousemoving) in order to preserve existing �
structures which can be rehabilitated to decent housing.
3. To foster the economic stability of the City and District 8. and to
-4- Redevelopment Plan
• •
encourage new private investment.
4. To encourage and support proposals for economic development within
the Distri.ct which may have some immediate effect on patterns of
employment or general well-being of the community.
5. To assure safe and adequate vehicular and pedestrian circulation
patterns and capacity.
6. To encourage the continuing participation by the members of ttce
communi.ty in the planning and programming of renewal activities for
their respective neighborhoods.
B. EXISTING AND PROPOSED LAND USE. PLAN (See Proposed Land Use Map attached)
The introduction of light industrial land use represents a change to the
previously approved Land Use Plan for the Summit-University area. The
previous plan recommended residential uses. The rationale for this change
is as follows;
1. The Housing and Redevelogment Authority has experienced difficulty in
marketing residential land adjacent to the freeway for the past several
years. Due to the negative influence of ths freeway, federal mortgage
money is not available for residential construction. A light industrial
corporation is now willing to invest private capital to develop this
land.
2. The Sununit-University area has for a number o£ y�ars had a high rate
of unemp�oyrnent. It also has been the �ea of the highest concentration
of low and moderate-income households, as we11 as the largest population
of non-white families and individuals in Saint Paul. This facility has
the potentiaZ of providing job opportunities.
3. An opportunity to develop the area with a transitional use has become
possibleo It is desirable to provide a graduation of land uses away
from the influence of the freeway. The light industrial use wou2d .
effect a bu£fer between the freeway and the single-family homes to the
south.

C. CONTROLS
1. Function or Character
The Redevelopment Plan provides a light industrial site for the
consolidation of functions currently located throughout the region.
Off-street parking and off-street loading spaces are included.
Program activities also will be directed tioward eliminating adverse
effects from light indus�rial uses .on adjacent residential areas.
2. Percnitted Uses
Permitted uses are those which are not hazardous due to explosion
or fire, or offensive or no:�ious by way of noise, unsightly appearance
or emissions. No new residenti�l or commercial uses shall be permitted.
3o Density and Building Res�rictions
Density limitations, setbacks, off-street parking and of£-street Ioading
shall be required for new construction and such requirements shall be
determined by the Renewal Division prior .to land disposition activitiese
Such restrictions, in a1I instances, will be not less restrictive than
the current applicable codes and ordinances of the City of Saint Paul

internal circulation system cai11 be established as part of the development
plan. All street an� a12ey vacations will be processed through the normal
petitian procedure. (See Map No. 3}
A review of the development plan by the State Department of Transportation
will be necessary. Their concern will be the use of Concordia Avenue since �
it is the frontaoe road of Interstate 94.
E. URBAN RENEWAL TECHNIQUES TO B� USED TO_ ACHIEVE P�N OBJECTIVES
The following techniques are cited as a means of achievino the object�.ves

2e Properties which are substandard or blighting influences or are needed
for public purposes to effect object�ves of this plan will be acquired
and the buildings removed. The properties will then be assembled and
disposed of as part of the redevelopment site.
3. Relocation of site occupants displaced. by public action will be under-
taken with the intent to assist those displaced in securing adequate
relocation resources which meets their "needs and is within their
means.
4. MaYimum citizen involvement will be encouraged through the structure
specified by the City and now in effect through the citizen participation
process.
F. LAND DISPOSIrI��i
The Rene4�a1 Division may elect to dispose of the site in total or stages
�ahich ever method �,aill best accomplish the purposes of this�Plan. In
any case, all disposition of sites �aill follo�a the req.uirements of State
and Federal laws.
G. REDEVELOPER'S OBLIGATIONS
The general requirements to be imposed by the Contract for Sa1e between
the redevelopers of property in the District and the city's Renewal
Division are:
1. To devela� tne land purchased in accordance with the controls and

land.
6. The contract and disposition documents wi11 spell out in detail the
provisions, standards and criteria for achieving appLicable objectives,
requirements and regulations contained in the Redevelopment Plan,
H. URBAN DESIGN OBJECTTVE AND CONTROL
The Renewal Division may contract for sale of property upon receipt
and acceptance of preliminary plans, but normally �vill nat dispose of
property under such contract prior to receipt and acceptance of construction
drawings. The Division shall retain the right of design review and may
reject any proposal which is felt to be inconsistent with the goals and
objectives of the Plan. Specific design objectives and criteria will be
established for the site prior to disposition, and proposals will be
evaluated in the light of this Plan's objectives and criteria.
I. DU�2ATION OF CONTROLS
Tne development controls and regulations wi1l be incorQorated into the
deeds conveyir.g land and shall be maintained and continued in �ffect for
a period of thirty (30) years from the date of approval of the Redevelopment
Plan. by the City Council of Saint Paul.
Jo OTHER PROVISIONS NECESSARY TO MEET STATE AND LOCAL REQUIREMENTS
1. Non-Discrimination
Every coatract f� r sale, lease o•r redevelopment of oroperty within the
project area will include prohibitions against Zand speculation,
requi.re compliance with all State and local laws in effect from time
to time, prohibit discrimination or segregation by reasons of race, _
religion, color, sex or national origin in the sale, Zease or occupancy

2. Vacations, Dedications and Covenants
Vacations and dedications of public rights-of�ay shall be
accomplished by separate actions in accordance with State law and
local ordinances and will be initiated by the Division or redeveloper.
3. Citizen Partication
It is the intent of this Redevelopment Plan, and of the governing
body of the City of Saint Pau1, that active participation by the
citizens of the City of Saint Faul be encouraged in the continuing
planning and implementation of the program. Therefore, to the extent
possible in a manner consistent with Federal, State, and 1oca1 law ,
policy and regulations, it is the intent that all activities to be
undertaken under the provisfons of this Plan be done with the know-
ledge a.nd advice o£ the Citizen Participation Organization which is
recognized by the City Council.
4. Environmental Review
An errv ironmental review of a redevelopment pl.an is not required prior
to action of the Planning Commission. If this project proposal is
adopted and Community Development Block Grant Funds are used, a Com-
munity Bzvelapme:�t �r�viror.mental Review wi.11 be requzred. It is
possible that the size of the project will require preparation of a
Minnesota Environmental Assessment Worksheet. City Planning has
begun preparation of both of these rev.i_ews.
The attached Niatrix o£ Environmental parameters lists those environ-
mental concerns. Of the nine major headings, it appears that air
quality, noise, Zand, aesthetics, and socio-economic will be of
greatest concern in the reviews for the Control Data project. (See
next pa;e for Mat�ix of Environmental Parameters)

PROGR.AM FOR IMPLEMENTATYON
In order ta fulfil]. community objectives which addressed the issues of economic
development for this area as we�l as the City and region, the acquisition of
� parcels of land to assemble this development site is necessary. Communf.ty
Development funds which will be used to assemble the site will lever private
reinvestment in the inner-city area of Saint Paul.
WhiZe much of the land within the approxicnata�.y three-square-bZock redevelopmen.t
is already publicZy owned, the acqu3.sition af additional land is needed to pro-
duce the total site. The acquisition and subsequent construction will be staged
in order ta complement the activities of the proposed development and facilitaCe
the eff3.cient process necessary to purchase, clear and sell the site. This
staging will occur generally along the lines of approximately one-half of the
total site (easterly portion) being in the first stage. The second stage will
include the remainder of the site (westerly portion) for development of completed
circulation patterns saithin the site and provision for off-street parking.

PROJECT ELIGIBILITY REPORT
A. ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES
As indicated in the "Program for Implementation," this proposed redevelopment
activity is to be accamplished through the utilization of part of the Year II
Community Development contingency fund. The primary objective of the Community
Development Program is "the development of viable urban communities, including
decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding ecanomic oppor-
tunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income,'' (Federal Register
570.200). Federal assistance is provided for the supporC of Cornmunity Develop-
ment activities which are directed toward the achievement of this overall
objectivee Although guidelines for the undertaking of a CD program are less
restrictive than those of previous programs and grant the local municipality
more flexibility in the kinds of activzties which may be initiated, all elements
of the program must as a minimum meet certain criteria as delineated in the
section of the Federal Register devoted to regulations governzng Community
Development.
The following .�excerpt outlines those activities which are el.igible for federal

Items (1)(i) and (1)(v} c?early establish the Community Development eligibility
requirements for the subject area.
B. DEVELO��NT OF PROJECT ELIGIBILITY
Evaluation of buildirg conditions is a vital first step in the planning process.
Any system for classifying buildings must produce an accurate description of
observed conditions and be based on clearly defined and acceptable standards.
A system of building classi£ications according ta structural conditions has beere
developed over the years within the Saint Paul Housing a.nd Redevelapment Authority
Neighborhood Development Program. In 1967 and subsequent years during the initi-
ation of NDF, the Saint Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority contracted with
Barton-Aschman Assocfates, Incorporated to prepare an urban renewal survey
eechnique that would accurately identify and evaluate the extent of deterioration,
blight or slum conditions existing in project areas. These standards and subsequent
-15- Pro�ect Eligibility
� .
surveys provided the basis for substantiating the need for public action in the
area in accordance with established local, state, and federal legal and adminis-
trative requirements, As each structure was examined, inspectors noted a11
deterioration and inadequacies as they might be influenced by age, quality of
maintenance, adequacy of original construction, and obsolescence, regardTess of
whether code violations were present or not. Upon completion of the inspection
- and subse�u�nt evaluation of the field survey, an overall building condition
rating was established from the following categories:
Sound - A structure with minimal defects �nd in u standard condition requiring .
norcial maintenance
� Deticient buiLdings contai.n defects �•rtiich are not eaaily correctftble and cannot be
accomQliatxed in the course of normal mnintenance. Tlie classification of minor or
mAjor reflects the degree or extent of defects found during the fnspection.
Minor - A structure classified ns defici.ent--reqairing ninor rep�irs--having r.iore
than three minor defects. •
Ma or - Buildings classi£ied as d.efi.ci.ent--requir.ing major repairs. �
St�bstEndard - A atructitre conCaini.r�g defects which are so serious, so extensive that
they adversel} affect all or a lflrge part of the structure tl�at repair is probabZy
not feasible. �
Bli�hting Inf1.+�ence - A term used to descr�.be an existing condition which (1) applies
specifically to the building bei.ng surceyed, (2) hss ttn apparenC adverse or degrad-
ing effect on other existing develo�ment.
Types of blighting influence are;
Incompatible Uses or t•fixed Use - A use (or a mixture of uses in a sin�;le builc3-
ing) that i� incompatible W1L'�1 the majority of uses in the ir.cnediate zrea, such
as A mixture of commercial and residen*_ial use in e aingle building or tlte
pre;ence of a manufacturin� use in a predomin�tely residentia2 area. There _
must be a significant adverse effect generatect by the inco:rp4tibility or _
