800 – 5th Street South Redevelopment Discussion; LindahlMEMO
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Jason Lindahl, City Planner
Date: May 11, 2021
Subject: 800 – 5th Street South Redevelopment Discussion
Proposed Action
Hear an introductory presentation from Eagle Ridge Partners, owners of 800 – 5th Street South,
regarding potential redevelopment of this property and provide feedback.
Overview
Representatives of Eagle Ridge Partners will make an introductory presentation regarding potential
redevelopment of their property located at 800 – 5th Street South. The subject property is 9 acres in
size and currently used as a single story business center with office, warehouse and showroom uses.
A copy of their presentation slides is attached for your reference. It includes background
information about Eagle Ridge Partners, a concept site plan and supporting development images.
Key questions for the City Council to consider during this discussion include:
Would the City Council consider a comprehensive plan amendment to allow redevelopment of
this site into a mixed use transit supportive development?
How can a redevelopment of this property best blend into the surrounding neighborhood?
What type of housing units should be considered and at what density ranges?
What building heights ranges should be considered?

Applicant’s Presentation Slides
Concept Site Plan
The concept site plan proposes to extend the surrounding grid street layout and establishes four
development quadrants. It includes a mix of attached townhouse units along the southern and
eastern edges as a transition to larger multiple unit buildings to the north and west. In summary, the
concept site plan includes 45 3-story townhomes and 4 separate 5-story apartment buildings. In
total the concept site plan proposes 602 units on the 9-acre subject property which produces a
density of 67 units per acre.
Land Use
A mixed use transit supportive redevelopment would require approval of a comprehensive plan
amendment by both the City of Hopkins and the Metropolitan Council. Should the City Council
consider a different land use for this property, it should look for guidance from the 2040
Comprehensive Plan. In this case, Future Land Use Map in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan (see
attached) guides the subject property as Commerce and Employment. A change to a mixed use
transit supportive development should consider the City’s Neighborhood or Centers future land use
categories. The description and development characteristics for each of these districts is attached for
your reference.
It’s also important to remember that the comprehensive plan calls for the highest densities be located
within ¼ mile of a light rail station. The comprehensive plan calls for more moderate densities in the
area from ¼ mile to ½ mile of a light rail station. In this case, the subject property is located within
the ¼ to ½ mile radius of both the Downtown and Shady Oak Road future light rail transit station.
Conclusion
Representatives of Eagle Ridge Partners will make an introductory presentation regarding potential
redevelopment of their property located at 800 – 5th Street South. In this case, the City Council’s
role is to review the attached materials, ask questions and provide general feedback.

Future Land Use Plan Categories
The categories on the future land use map are divided into three general types: neighborhoods, centers,
and districts. Each one has their own sub-types, described below. These represent a mix of compatible
uses organized in defined places, rather than separated uses. This reflects the City’s commitment to
using its future land use plan to create unique and meaningful places.
Neighborhoods
Neighborhoods are primarily residential areas of the city. While residential is the predominant use in
these areas, a limited amount of complementary uses (such as small-scale public and institutional uses,
places of worship, and schools) may be part of these areas. The different sub-types are categories
largely based on density and urban form.
Outreach during the planning process identified that residential neighborhood character is an important
contributor to community livability and identity. As such, infill development in these areas should reflect
and be compatible with existing character and development type. The density ranges for some of these
neighborhood categories allow for infill with a range of housing types
By definition, these areas contain a large percentage of the residential population of the city. There is a
small employment base as well, mostly in the forms of home-based businesses and accessory uses. This
plan does not assign forecasted growth to these areas, as it is expected that infill development will not
significantly impact total housing units and densities. However, there are some areas, including private
open space and vacant lots, where infill development could occur. The City will evaluate any
development proposals that come forward for these areas based on overall policy guidance, zoning, and
other development standards.

connected to city sewer and
water services. Streets in this
area follow a curved and
looping design that rarely
connects, creating organically

that limit pedestrian and
bicycle mobility. Properties in
this district tend to have larger

Centers
Centers are primarily mixed use commercial districts. They typically are in areas well-served by the
multimodal transportation system (particularly transit) and are situated to serve as centers of commerce
and activity for the community and region. Residential is also an important component in most of these
areas, frequently in the form of mixed use buildings. While there are a range of urban and suburban
development types in Hopkins, new development projects in these areas address opportunities to make
areas more walkable, bikeable, and transit supportive where possible.
Neighborhood Centers are the smallest scaled of the three. They are aimed at creating walkable nodes
that support the surrounding neighborhood with retail and services, and provide opportunities for
mixed use infill development.
Activity Centers and Downtown Center are larger scaled areas, with the city’s most intensive growth
patterns, including the most capacity for redevelopment. They overlap with the three planned Green
Line Extension transit station areas, described in a following section.
While the Downtown Center is largely already built around the principles of traditional urban form,
several of the other centers have a more auto oriented, suburban development pattern. Transforming
them to walkable transit-oriented districts will take not just new land uses, but changes to the
underlying infrastructure. The station area plans (and the transportation element of the comprehensive
plan) cover many of the infrastructure improvements needed to make those changes – including roads,
sidewalks and bikeways, and other facilities. The timing of these improvements will vary – some will be
completed by the Green Line Extension opening day, while others will follow in subsequent years.

STATUS
1005 Gramsie:Recognizing a need for multi-family housing in the area, we partnered with Greco
Properties to demolish the vacant building and replace it with a newly-constructed apartment
building, Loden SV, now 98% leased. Phase II broke ground in Summer 2020, which includes a
second apartment building, Emrik SV. The development will total 400 units when complete. This
was the first large-scale multifamily redevelopment project to occur in Shoreview since late 1980’s.
1020 CR F:Long-time tenant Hill-Rom extended its lease in conjunction with building renovation
and was sold in August 2018. ERP remains invested with the buyer and is the property manager.
4000 Lexington: ERP invested ~$700k in renovations to lobby, common areas, restrooms, signage,
landscaping and parking, and completed new and renewed leasing. The building sold in September
2017. ERP retained property management services.
4100 Lexington:Land O’ Lakes consolidated headcount at its nearby headquarters and vacated the
building in Nov 2018. We have completed a full-scale renovation including addition of larger
windows, open floorplan, parking, and landscaping updates. In 2020, two tenants took occupancy in
the building, totaling 60k SF.

Concept Site Plan Principles
• The program of uses will be driven primarily by multifamily
residential.
• Create a flexible design and capacity study masterplan for
the site allowing 4 or more development pads to be built
out over time based in market absorption.
• Appropreiate setbacks with walk-up three story townhomes
to act as a transition to the adjacent single family homes and
other uses to the east and south.
• To the extent possible advocate for and work to enhace
connections the site to and from the future Hopkins Greenline
LRT Station with quality pedestrian routes/experiences.
• Flexibility in the masterplan to insert a variety of
densities, and housing types over time.
• Infrastructure / Roads that minimize site costs and offer
a sustainable approach coupled with density.
• Creation of plaza and green space that activates building
fontages and provides quality meaningful linkages to the
nearby properties and neighborhood.
