Consent Agenda N/A 3. Public Hearing N/A 4. Regular Agenda A. Consideration of accepting 2023 Hotel & Hospitality Study Update Report — Stephen Sherf, Hospitality Consulting Group, LLC Executive director Jim Thares provided an overview of the agenda item to the EDA and the public. In June of 2023, the EDA authorized an update to the existing Hotel & Hospitality Study. The update to the Study was completed by Hospitality Consulting Group, LLC. Stephen Sherf of Hospitality Consulting Group, LLC. provided a summary of the updated Study to the EDA and the public. Mr. Sherf highlighted that the Study showed that a considerable amount of hotel business is leaving Monticello, due to the lack of quality hotel options. He also mentioned that the Study further showed that Monticello has the capacity and necessity for a new hotel location, though he noted the economics of getting a new development could prove to be a challenge due to the current economic conditions. The recommendation regarding the size of a new hotel in Monticello was approximately 80 rooms with a 1,200 to 1,500 square foot meeting space and swimming pool. Mayor Lloyd Hilgart mentioned anecdotally that people have emphasized the lack of hotel options in Monticello which causes people to stay elsewhere. Mr. Sherf added that Monticello's proximity to Maple Grove plays a significant role in why people are willing to stay elsewhere, even though they have business in Monticello. Location wise, Mr. Sherf noted that four (4) sites in Monticello were reviewed as part of the Study update. The Pointes at Cedar area and the vacant land directly west of Runnings appear to have the most appeal for a new hotel location. Mr. Sherf noted this is largely influenced by the amenities surrounding the sites that were reviewed. 011ie Koropchak-White asked if there was any discussion on Block 34 downtown being a potential site for a new hotel, as that location would achieve an EDA goal of related to redevelopment of the Block. Mr. Sherf said that in 2020, there were downtown sites reviewed, but they were not included in this update. JON MORPHEW MOVED TO ACCEPT THE 2023 HOTEL MARKET STUDY REPORT PREPARED BY HOSPITALITY CONSULTING GROUP, EXCELSIOR, MN. HALI SITTIG SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY, 7-0. B. Consideration of adopting Resolution No. 2023-09 approving Purchase Agreement for 216 Pine Street, Monticello, MN (PID #155010034010 Mr. Thares provided an overview of the agenda item to the EDA and the public. In August 2023 the Monticello EDA met in a closed meeting to discuss the potential acquisition of the property. Mr. Thares emphasized that acquisition of this property is important for the EDA's future redevelopment efforts of Block 34 in downtown Monticello. Currently, the City and the EDA collectively own about 72 percent of the land in Block 34, and acquisition of this property would increase that total to about 82 percent. On the question of relocation fees, Mr. Thares noted that the proposed acquisition cost of $465,000 is inclusive of any necessary relocation costs for the current tenants. Other than the owner users, there are no known tenants utilizing the property. Mayor Hilgart asked if a closing date had been set. Mr. Thares confirmed that the closing is scheduled for October 31, 2023. Councilmember Tracy Hinz asked if the existing business at the location will continue operations elsewhere. Mr. Thares said that did not know if the current property owner and user had intentions of establishing a new store someplace. Councilmember Hinz asked if relocation costs were necessary if the current business was not anticipated to continue at a new location. Jon Morphew clarified that a portion of relocation costs are to cover move out, generally.

Added Item — Consideration of Adopting Resolution No. 2023-10 Authorizing an Interfund Loan for Advance of Certain Costs in Connection with a Tax Increment Finance District Mr. Thares provided an overview of the agenda item to the EDA and the public. Adopting an interfund loan related to the property acquisition of 216 Pine Street will allow the EDA to be reimbursed through tax increments generated by a future Redevelopment TIF District for Block 34. The interfund loan total is $500,000. Mayor Hilgart asked if there were interfund loans done for previous property acquisitions on Block 34. Mr. Thares said that he was aware of at least one interfund loan done in conjunction with the EDA previously purchasing property on Block 34.

Wolff in the original Resolution authorizing the EDA's acquisition of 216 Pine Street, Monticello, MN (PID #155010034010), for the amount of $465,000. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND Resolution 2023-09 adopted by the EDA at its regular September 13, 2023, meeting related to the acquisition of 216 Pine Street contained an incorrect seller's name.

Wolff. The purchase agreement which the EDA approved at the September 13 meeting contained the correct sellers' names. The proposed EDA action is a technical housekeeping step to ensure that all documents related to the property transaction are consistent and correct. Budget Impact: The budget impact from the technical revision to the Resolution is minimal. II. Staff Workload Impact: Internal City staff workload related to the proposed property purchase is minimal. City staff consulted the EDA attorney regarding the best method of correcting the names in the Resolution. The EDA attorney drafted the Revised EDA Resolution document. III.

Motion 2. To authorize a service fee of up to $625 payable to MSA Professional Services for the final presentation preparation and preview to the EDA. PREVIOUS EDA ACTION June 14, 2023: The EDA authorized a Professional Services Contract with MSA Professional Services in the amount of $26,400. The contract included a single presentation to the EDA by the consultants. The September 11, 2023, joint EDA, Planning Commission and City Council meeting is considered to be that single presentation by MSA -PS staff. September 11, 2023: MSA -PS presented an overview of the market demand findings to a joint meeting of the City Council, Planning Commission and the EDA. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND At its June 14, 2023, regular meeting, the EDA authorized a contract with MSA Professional Services to complete a 2023 Housing Needs and Demand Study Update. The Housing Market Study scope of work was organized to review recent demographic trends and housing developments since 2020 and analyze other available information to answer questions regarding demand for ownership, rental and senior markets in the City. The Study is attached to this report and was reviewed in detail in an EDA Workshop immediately prior to the regular meeting. Budget Impact: The budget impact from the review and acceptance of the 2023 Housing Market Study is estimated to cost up to $625. The EDA previously authorized the Study EDA Agenda: 10/11/2023 proposal at a cost of $26,400. The EDA has sufficient funds available to cover the cost of the final presentation review of the Study. II. Staff Workload Impact: Internal City staff workload related to the final review and acceptance of the 2023 Housing Market Study consists of communication with the consultant and preparation of the EDA meeting report. Staff is involved in the efforts include the Community Development Director, Community & Economic Development Coordinator, and the Economic Development Manager. I. Comprehensive Plan Impact: The Vision adopted as part of the Monticello 2040 Vision + Plan is to create a friendly and safe community which is inclusive and fosters a sense of belonging. The City's adopted strategy for housing includes developing a range of housing choices and opportunities. As residents move through their career paths and family status, their housing needs change. As an actively developing community, Monticello seeks to provide opportunities for a full range of "life cycle" housing options allowing people to stay and grow with our community. STAFF RECOMMENDATION City staff recommend the EDA accept the 2023 Housing Market Study Update. The Study contains information about market demand in various housing sectors based on recent demographic trends and in the context of current financial markets. The Study will be useful to City policy makers in the realm of formulating housing policy, program, and development objectives. It will also inform developers and policy makers as to the viability and format of various housing development proposals. City staff further recommends an additional fee of up to $625, payable to MSA -PS, for the presentation preparation and preview be authorized. SUPPORTING DATA A. 2023 Housing Market Study Update B. Professional Services Contract w/ Scope of Work— authorized 06-14-23 CITY OF M MONTICELLO Housing Needs & Market Demand Executive Summary 2023 PAMoivttace llo GENERAL HOUSING CONDITIONS ABOUT THE MONTICELLO HOUSING MARKET: Monticello has several strengths as a community that drive the housing market - it is well positioned within the region with easy access to transportation, has amenities that attract a wide range of household types, and - especially when compared to the larger Metro - many housing options that are relatively more affordable. Though Monticello has housing that is relatively affordable when considering incomes for the larger region, overall incomes for residents of the City are less than in studied regional peer communities, Wright County, and the 13 -County Metro. However, there are differences between income by tenure (rent vs. own). In the ownership market, rising interest rates and home costs have pushed the median single-family home value above the affordability limit for households earning 80% AMI ($263,000). Many homes that would be considered "affordable" to median -income residents are disproportionately purchased by households with incomes that can easily afford them - spending much less than they could potentially afford. Households earning less than area median income are thus competing against higher income earners in the market and driven out of the ownerships market due to the high cost and lack of availability of ownerships units that are affordable. Units that have been built since 2020 tend to be beyond the affordability limit needed for median income earners (less than $290,000). Renters in Monticello tend to be lower-income than their home -owning counterparts. Some of these renters are would-be home buyers who are forced to rent due to the hyper competitive market and increased ownerships costs seen since 2020. There are also renters who earn a high income but would prefer to rent for to a variety of reasons, including the amenity rich experience that luxury units provide. In general, rents are increasing in line with incomes - though there are many major occupation groups with incomes that do not support the levels of rent that exist in the City. Available data shows vacancy in the market remains tight. However, this does not account for the new production of units in recent years. Bringing new units on-line can help ease tension and increasing costs in the market, but new units must serve residents of all incomes, not solely low - or high-income households. Though the City does not act as a master developer, housing supply that meets the needs of local employers and employees should remain a top consideration in zoning updates, regulation and fees, and providing incentive to increase specific types of housing stock, whether entry-level or step-up. GENERAL CONDITIONS IMPACTING THE HOUSING MARKET: • Average household size has remained stable (p• 8) • Families and home -office preferences sustaining need for larger units (p. 8) • Aging households are the fastest increasing demographic since 2010 (p. 9) • Aging households will be a significant portion of households through 2050 (p. 12) • Monticello residents have lower average incomes compared to peer communities (p. 13) • Monticello residents have lower degrees of educational attainment compared to the County (p. 14) • Common occupation groups in the City indicate a need for affordable housing, especially for entry-level positions (p. 16) • Large shares of residents (48% as of 2020) commute into metro counties daily for work. Forty-eight percent of community survey respondents indicated Twin Cities or a suburb as place of employment (p. 18) • Housing unit production has not kept pace with new households moving to the County, decreasing vacancy and increasing cost (p. 19) • Rising costs and interest rates have made the development process more difficult (p. 97) • Vacancy rates continue to be low in the City and region, despite strong unit production (p. 104/108) City of Monticello Housing Needs and Demand OWNER S[ RENTAL FINDINGS MAJOR OWNERSHIP MARKET FINDINGS: MAJOR RENTAL MARKET FINDINGS: • Ownership units have made up 25.3% of planned or constructed developments since 2020, well below historic building trends (p. 6) • Though the majority of ownership housing is single-family detached, there are also many attached ownership units (p. 51) • Owners make up a smaller portion of the overall housing market than in most regional communities (p. 53).

During this period, 1,137 units were planned or constructed across rental, ownership, and senior housing markets in Monticello which was a construction level not seen in many years. These projects are in various stages of development with many of these units anticipated to be completed in the time after this report. Projects are broken down by market type below. OWNER MARKET units planned or constructed in this time period numbered 288 with most projects producing single- family detached homes. Owner units represent 25.3% of planned or constructed development since 2020. New ownership developments are spread along the outskirts of City occurring on greenfield sites. Notable projects include the two Townhome/Twinhome developments that will increase the supply of affordable ownership units in comparison to traditional single-family detached unit. These developments and future townhome and condo units within Monticello are explored in a later section. Source: City of Monticello RENTAL MARKET units planned or constructed in this time period reached historic highs with 595 new units, matching national trends in unprecedented rental unit construction. Rental unit production has outpaced owner market units since 2020 representing 52.3% of planned or constructed units. All new rental units are in multi -family apartment developments. The Savanna Vista project, part of the Pointes at Cedar planned community, will contribute 200 new apartments to the City in part of a development that will provide a connected, amenity rich experience to residents and community members.

Although unit size within apartment projects is subject to change, it would appear roughly only 5% of new units being created will offer 3 -bedroom space. This is at odds with some residents' preference towards larger unit size that our stakeholders have encountered. Future developments should consider reallocating additional 3 -bedroom apartments for families to their overall unit mix. SENIOR HOUSING remains an important challenge the City will need to address as the Baby Boomer generation continues to age. A mix of active living homes and apartments, assisted living, and memory care facilities will be necessary to provide a range of options to seniors. From January 2020 to June 2023, 3 new senior living developments have been constructed or planned totaling 254 units and representing 22.3% of total planned or constructed units during this time. All of these projects are headed by Headwaters Developments. Two of the projects will provide 40% of their units at price affordable to elderly households at 50% or below of the Area Median Income (AMI) at the county level.

Our approach in the following pages includes both a low estimate and a high estimate for new households, with the expectation that the actual growth of households and units will be somewhere between those estimates. One important variable is the tenure type split, meaning the distribution between rental and ownership in new unit production. The City has recently been at about 70% owner occupancy and 30% rental occupancy, and the level of owner occupancy has dropped a few points as compared to 3 years earlier. We would expect to see this based on the production of more rental units (including some units that could be owner -occupied, such as townhomes). This study is not establishing what the City wants in new unit production, but instead is an attempt to project what the market is most likely to provide. Based on recent permit history in Monticello and a shift toward more rental housing in much of the country, we are projecting and assuming a 50/50 split between owner and rental housing in the next few years. If the City takes actions to incentivize new owner occupant units, and/or declines to provide incentives for new rental units, it could influence the tenure split outcome. The rental demand projections suggest that the market requires few or no new rental units before 2028, at least beyond those already built and those with zoning approvals, due to the recent strong production of units. In the low estimate for household growth the City will have more units than it needs. In the higher estimate there is demand for a modest 211 units after all approved units are built. However, it is important to recognize that none of the new units recently constructed are targeted to lower income residents. Meanwhile our projections highlight the demand for units affordable to housheholds below the median household income. There is, we believe, still unmet demand for income -qualified units even if (or because) there are new high-end units on the market. City of Monticello Housing Needs and Demand UNIT DEMAND This study projects the need for net new housing of various types from 2020 to 2028, including units to accommodate growth and units to restore healthy vacancy rates. Each projection is broken down by total projection of unit need from 2020 to 2028, projected unit need subtracting out permitted units (units constructed or under construction), and projected unit need subtracting out permitted units and units with land use and land division approval (anticipated units). Two growth scenarios are offered - above (2.9%) and below (1.7%) Monticello 2040 projections. Unit need is also calculated for senior and aging households as part of this study. Due to Monticello's amenities within the region, slightly higher rates of in -migration are projected for senior households. All demand calculations and recommendations are found on pages 102-116 of the full study.

Though national discourse portrays housing affordability as a universal crisis, we know that every community is unique, having distinct needs dependent upon local economic and social conditions. This study examines these conditions in Monticello, and proposes how housing needs can best be met - especially in the context of a community with pressures for growth.

The plan was updated in 2023 to include changes in the housing market since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The City has identified housing as a critical issue that needs to be addressed in order to provide opportunity for existing and future residents, and continue to grow the City's economic and residential base. City leaders have clearly identified these needs based on feedback from various stakeholders, as well as sustained demand that has provided consistent proposals for both greenfield and infill development. The purpose of this study is to expand and revisit the City's 2020 housing study. This will help the City better understand its housing market and to craft targeted strategies to improve housing options. City of Monticello .pA BIG LAKE TOWNSHIP ELK RIVER CITY 10 WRIGHT COUNTY i OTSEGO CITY 0 ALBERTVILLE CITY SAINT ;-'• •.,j MICHAEL •• CITY .•, ' ROGERS CITY H E N N E P I N (COUNTY i There are two main components to all municipal housing markets. The first component of this market is all of the housing located in the City of Monticello; the second component is the housing in surrounding communities, many of those homes occupied by people who work or shop in Monticello but who chose to live elsewhere. The housing physically located in Monticello is the easiest to measure and analyze, and is also the market portion that the City has the most control over. Housing outside of Monticello is more difficult to quantify and qualify, but it is nevertheless important to a holistic understanding of the market. This report attempts to document conditions and trends in the overall market, including insight in two key areas: • How much demand exists for what types of housing in the City • General strategies to support housing needs and development in the community Housing Needs and Demand STUDY PROCESS This study uses a variety of methods and data to better understand the housing market. Objective, measurable data were collected from the City, the Multiple Listing Service (real estate listings and sales), real estate aggregators, Wright County, the State of Minnesota, the U.S. Census Bureau, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The City is at times compared to its regional peer communities, to a wider context (county, metro) in a variety of ways, and also compared to itself in the form of time -series data that reveal trends. This study also incorporates a series of interviews with people familiar with the housing market. A community survey of area residents was conducted in 2020, and those results are carried forward in this update. PROJECT OVERSIGHT The study was initiated by the City of Monticello Economic Development Authority. A working group of staff in Economic and Community Development regularly provided insight, including review of data and material that comprise this final report. These staff members met with MSA's project team throughout the project to provide direction to the planning process. INTERVIEWS In 2020, The planning team met with and interviewed a variety of residents with knowledge and insight into the local housing market, including those who know it best: users of the market themselves. These interviews included realtors, lenders, developers, landlords, employers, and employees. Feedback collected through interviews often naturally gravitated toward similar topics and knowledge, indicating a strong shared understanding of how the local housing market inherently functions. Upon updating this study in 2023, the interviewees from 2020 were contacted once again and feedback was gathered on changes to the housing market in Monticello over the past three years. This feedback is used throughout the report. NEW ANALYSIS A few additional areas of study were incorporated into the 2023 report update. These include: a summary of construction activity in the City since 2020; a comparison of Monticello's development fees and its regional peers; a closer look at condo and townhome development demand; and updating the unit demand calculations to reflect the impact of constructed and planned units since the last report's publication. Many tables and charts throughout the report were also updated with the most up to date data available. DATA NOTES All American Community Survey (ACS) data in this report utilizes 5 -Year Estimates from the most recent US Census Bureau data release, which is the 2017-2021 data vintage. The U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) releases custom tabulations of ACS data annually, known as the HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) dataset, that better portrays housing statistics and need. The CHAS dataset is also used throughout this report where appropriate, though due to the custom tabulations releases are slower than typical for normal US Census data products. CHAS data vintage utilized in this report is 2015-2019. CHAS data is used to provide additional insight in certain study components where newer data sources do not provide necessary level of detail. About Monticello 4 COMMUNITY BASICS Data not updated in 2023 Housing Study MONTICELLO is a community in Wright County, MN, located along the Mississippi River directly adjacent to Big Lake and Sherburne County. The larger Monticello region, though not part of the Metropolitan Council, is considered by HUD to be within the larger 13 -county Twin Cities Metro Region. Monticello is about 27 miles from St. Cloud, 26 miles from Maple Grove, and 50 miles from St. Paul. With the largest population of all adjoining municipalities, Monticello is known for its natural landscapes, including access to parks and trails systems along the Mississippi River. City of Monticello The City is notably located directly on Interstate 94, providing direct access to the Twin Cities Metro, but especially convenient access to the northwest suburbs of Minneapolis, many of which are within a 30 -minute drive of Monticello's downtown. Housing Needs and Demand POPULATION POPULATION GROWTH has been steady across the region throughout the past decade. Monticello saw a net increase of 2,005 residents from 2010 to 2021 per American Community Survey estimates. This represents a total percentage growth of 16.4%, the third highest growth percentage among peer communities. The closest community in growth percentage is the City of St. Michael, which grew at a similar the same rate (18%) as Monticello in the same timeframe. Increasing rates of household and housing unit growth throughout the region predict steady population growth at a healthy rate. Historical rates of growth are not necessarily predictors of future growth. Changing preferences, regional economic conditions, and other factors contribute to past and future housing choices for residents of the Metro. Unit demand has been increasing, and continued growth will follow - which is anticipated at 2% annually in Monticello 2040. io,v 16,000 14,000 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 ti°y° ti°yy ti°yam ti°y� ti°y� —Monticello - Buffalo Source: American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates 2010-2021 POPULATION GROWTH RATES Municipality 2010 - 2021 Population Growth lFhange nnual ercent Monticello Source: American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates 2010-2021 Becker ---Big Lake ---St. Michael S 6 NEW MARKET ACTIVITY THIS SECTION features a concise narrative of housing development activity (proposal, approvals, constructed units) from January 2020 to June 2023.

Counter to the longer term national trend of shrinking average household size, causing the number of households to grow faster than population, Monticello has seen relative stability in household growth and size since 2010. This is a noteworthy trend as we consider how housing demand is changing in Monticello since this often manifests in demand for family - sized housing units in both rental and ownership markets driven by slightly larger family sizes since 2010. Owner -occupied household size has remained steady at 2.8 persons per household in Monticello between 2010 to 2021. Renter household size fluctuated over the same time; it was 2.0 in 2010, increased to a high of 2.5 in 2016, and fell back to 2.2 by 2021. This, along with work from home preferences, likely points to consistent demand for family -sized housing in both the ownership market and the renter market. Across all tenures, the household size is 2.62 people per household according to ACS estimates. 6,000 �'----- 5,000 4,000 3,000 2,000 1,000 0 tiQ) tiQ) ti�y� ti�y� tiQ) tiQy' ti�y� tidy^ ti�y� —Monticello ---Buffalo ---Becker ---Big Lake ---St. Michael Source: American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates 2010-2021 City of Monticello Housing Needs and Demand AGE COHORTS AGE TRENDS can help predict current and future needs of the community. As populations continue to age, or add members to their households, needs change as well. Since 2010, the City has seen the largest percentage increase amongst persons approaching and exceeding retirement age. Age cohorts above 50 are driving much of the population change, with approximately 6% annual growth in the 50-64 and 65-79 age categories. These persons and households have likely aged into this category over the decade, which is consistent with general trends of aging in the County, State, and Nation as baby -boomers reach retirement. The age cohort under 10 years old fell between 2016 and 2020 while rebounding slightly between 2020 and 2021. However the size of this age cohort in 2021 was still less than what it was in 2010. The young -adult to middle -age cohorts remained relatively stable in comparison over the past decade. 3,500 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 1,000 MONTICELLO AGE COHORT POPULATION CHANGE Age Cohorti Annu Percent Change Ig 0 - 9 Years 2,128 2,009 -0.52% 10 - 19 Years 2,079 2,219 0.59% 20 - 34 Years 2,813 2,949 0.43% 35 - 49 Years 2,911 3,058 0.45% 50 - 64 Years 1,235 2,592 6.97% 65 - 79 Years 624 1,046 4.81% 80 and Over 355 362 0.19% Source: American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates 2010-2021 500 0 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 -0-9Years X10-19 Years X20-34 Years X35-49 Years -50-64 Years X65-79 Years-80and Over 10 POPULATION PROJECTIONS MONTICELLO POPULATION GROWTH SCENARIO Monticello Population 14r2035 Projections 202 2025 030 204 Monticello 2040 source: Monuceno Zu4u man PROJECTING Monticello's population growth into the future is somewhat uncertain - and due to its location and amenities is partially dependent upon the availability and development of housing units. For a community of this size, large multi -unit developments or new subdivision development could be absorbed into the market on an annual basis, though would impact long-term projections. As new development occurs, and new amenities are added, demand will likely continue to increase with overall desirability of location and access.

Across the nation, reductions in household sizes are expected to continue through at least 2040, though Monticello has been relatively stable in its household size over the past 10 years. MONTICELLO HOUSEHOLD GROWTH SCENARIO This recent trend is potentially due to the local combination of young adults staying at home longer, as well as in -migration of young -family households with a preference for smaller -town living within the Metro for various reasons. Projection scenarios for the Monticello 2040 Comprehensive Plan anticipate reducing household size into the future, with larger household than population gains - again largely dependent upon the appetite for development and continued expansion of both housing opportunity as well as local amenities.

While a family of four might be best suited to a three- or four-bedroom home, once children move out of the home they have the effect of overconsuming in the market - using more housing than they need. As householders continue to age they may prefer to downsize, making upkeep and care more accommodating to their preferred lifestyle. Similarly, younger households (both single - person and two -person) have needs for smaller units prior to family creation, often seeking smaller homes and apartments before needing larger homes once they begin to have children. Looking at projected population growth rates to 2050, the fastest growing populations are those age 65 and over - by a significant margin. There is a distinct need for housing tailored to this age group, whether age-specific housing or policies that assist aging in place in their own homes. The remaining growth in the market is projected largely to be driven by family -forming households and children aged 0-9.

The more income that a household earns, more housing falls within their affordability threshold (in this report capped at 30% of total income toward housing cost). While incomes are mobile (households can move place to place), housing units are stationary. In practice, this means that households will often commute, choosing to live wherever they find the acceptable balance among convenience, quality, and affordability. Among regional peer communities, Monticello has the lowest median and mean incomes - meaning that households who live in the City earn less on average than those who live in other communities, regardless of their place of employment. Unlike the County, larger percentages of Monticello's population fall into lower-income categories, and less of the City's population falls into high-income categories. Part of this is likely due to retail jobs and younger householders, largely living in apartments in the community, as well as generally lower housing costs in the region. $100,000 $80,000 $60,000 $40,000 $20,000 Median Household Income 13 CITY VARIANCE FROM COUNTY INCOME DISTRIBUTION $200,000 or More $150,000 to $199,999 $100,000 to $149,999 . $75,000 to $99,999 $50,000 to $74,999 $35,000 to $49,999 ■ $25,000 to $34,999 $15,000 to $24,999 ' $10,000 to $14,999 Less than $10,000 ■ -4.0% -2.0% 0.0% 2.0% 4.0% 6.0% 8.0% ON 10 Lower % than County Higher % than County Source: American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates 2018 Data not updated in 2023 Housing Study Mean Household Income ■ Monticello ■ Buffalo i Becker ■ Big Lake ■ St. Michael ■ Wright County Source: American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates 2021 14 EMPLOYMENT INDICATORS CITY VARIANCE FROM COUNTY EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT Bachelor's or Higher Some College or Associate's 0 Graduated High School Less than High School Diploma -10.0% -8.0% -6.0% -4.0% -2.0% 0.0% 2.0% 4.0% 6.0% Lower % than County Higher % than County Source: American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates 2018 Data not updated in 2023 Housing Study 90% Graduated High School J INCOME is dependent on many factors, including resident educational attainment and the overall health of the economy. Among City residents, educational attainment is generally lesser than across the entire County. For residents 25 and over, the City has a larger share of residents than Wright County whose educational attainment is capped below a Bachelors Degree or equivalent. This is consistent with generally lower incomes, and reflective of generally lower costs of the housing market. Even considering educational attainment and increased job volatility, unemployment for the County remained at healthy rates pre-COVID. For those in the labor force and seeking employment, there is seemingly enough opportunity for residents to secure employment, whether in the City or in other accessible communities. 39% Some College or Associate's Degree 19% Vg��Bachelor's Degree or Higher Source: American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates 2018 Data not updated in 2023 Housing Study LOCAL EMPLOYMENT INCOME is dependent upon accessible employment opportunities, and Monticello offers a variety of employers in different sectors - most with a range of positions offering varying levels of compensation and experience. Monticello also benefits from access to Interstate 94 and proximity to both the Twin Cities Metro and St. Cloud, which provide more than 200,000 job opportunities for residents within a reasonable commute. This also means that the City is within a reasonable commute for thousands of residents, and has large potential to continue to capture shares of regional growth from both local economic development initiatives as well as for commuting households. Major local employers (table on right) represent nearly 3,800 positions available in the community. Employment in the City acts as a regional draw, resulting in daytime population growth from outlying communities that evenly offsets daytime population loss (balanced commuting patterns). These in -commuters largely reside in other, more rural portions of the County and metro - there is not significant in -commuting from suburbs within the 7 -county area.

Using the American Community Survey of the US Census Bureau to identify common occupations in the City and associated hybrid -wage data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, general income ranges for positions can be translated into housing "affordability limits" for both rental and ownership markets. Affordability limits represent the amount that could be paid monthly for all housing costs - including taxes, utilities, insurance, etc. - without paying more than 30% of total income toward housing. For many of Monticello's most common occupation groups, affordability limits indicate modest monthly housing costs are most appropriate to ensure enough residual income for other necessary expenses. Though the numbers below represent single -person households, tightening housing markets and increased cost of ownership still impact and limit many households that may wish to purchase within Monticello's ownership market.

Data not updated in 2023 Housing Study City of Monticello Housing Needs and Demand COMMUTING TRENDS EMPLOYMENT LOCATION for residents who live in the City of Monticello varies, with a large share (48%) commuting into metro counties daily for work. Notably, a significant share of residents who commute into the metro are traveling well into it during their daily commute, bypassing other employment centers that exist in both first - and second -ring suburbs. The most common place of employment for residents besides the City of Monticello itself is Minneapolis, with over 450 commuters daily by the most recently available data. Other common destinations include Plymouth, Maple Grove, Rogers, St. Paul, and Eden Prairie. This is consistent with the 2020 community survey responses, in which 48% of all respondents indicated that their primary place of employment was either "Twin Cities", or directly named a first- or second -ring suburb of the Twin Cities in a comment. As issues with housing access and affordability continue in the larger region and transit access is increased, coupled with individual preference some households have for smaller communities, this share is likely to remain a strong portion of the housing market within the City. Though preliminary, impacts of COVID were mentioned in the community survey and are worth considering in future growth. Several respondents indicated working from home in addition to other COVID-influenced factors in their housing and commuting, and as work - from -home accommodations become more prevalent, this could begin to impact the local market as households with a preference for smaller -town living no longer find it necessary to remain in the City for their employment. It is likely this will have less of an impact on Monticello than surrounding communities (as key transportation corridors already eased access to the Twin Cities), though there is still potential for impact and this dynamic should be tracked in the coming years.

City of Monticello COMMUTING will continue to remain a factor for future housing decisions and growth. As scenarios in the comprehensive plan update focus on development potential, availability of units based on future land use decisions and development potential will directly impact the commuter - share that Monticello captures out of the Twin Cities market. While 52% of current residents work in places outside of the 7 -county metro, an increasingly large share commute into metro counties on a daily basis. For example, 48% of Monticello residents work within the 7 -county metro, while regional communities display shares of 48% for Buffalo, 53% for Big Lake, and 38% for Becker. Key differences include community size, access to amenities, and ease of transportation - which may position Monticello to continue to see housing market demand pressures from potential out -commuters. 33% 6% 5% 1% ■ 1% �y Housing Needs and Demand REGIONAL GROWTH WRIGHT COUNTY PRODUCTION & GROWTH P01111dEM 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Households Added 167 81 201 622 681 678 996 855 1,193 Housing Units 126 Added 287 259 319 756 529 581 772 1,264 Annual Gap -31 +206 +58 -303 +75 -149 -415 -83 +71 Source: American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates 2013-2021 A BALANCED HOUSING MARKET requires new unit production to keep pace with new households moving into the market. This is discussed in more thorough detail within the following chapters, but at a most basic level, housing unit production must match increases in demand (in -migration and new household formation) in order to continue to provide a balanced housing market for all residents and would -be -residents of the City. This includes unit production at a variety of price points that serve the income needs for households currently working in the City, as well as higher - priced housing for choice commuters and users that have a greater degree of mobility, or choices, within the housing market. Though housing unit production has been at record levels in recent years within the County, households were added at a greater rate, indicating a shrinking vacancy rate and suggesting more competition for housing units. This is a common dynamic in housing markets since the Great Recession. 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 ■ Households Added . Housing Units Added F 19 20 REGIONAL GROWTH TIGHTENING housing markets within the County can be seen more readily when the annual addition of both housing units and households are viewed cumulatively. While a healthy supply gap remained through 2015, data indicates an increase in housing demand from household growth in the County, which occurred at a rate higher than that of housing unit construction. With the gap growing tremendously in the last 3 years. WRIGHT COUNTY CUMULATIVE PRODUCTION & GROWTH Tighter housing markets impact the market in various ways - most notably through decreasing the amount of vacancy in both ownership and rental markets. Decreasing vacancy shifts market balance toward sellers and landlords in both sectors, and often result in increased competition for units, increased prices, and can lead to decreased stability for individual households whose incomes may be capped at levels that cannot sustain increasing housing costs. § 1=�.'4 2015 2016 201 a6@1 8 2019 2020 Households Added 248 449 1,071 1,752 2,430 3,426 4,281 5,4/4 Housing Units Added 136 423 682 1,001 1,757 2,286 2,867 3,639 4,903 Cumulative Gap -31 +175 +266 -70 -144 -559 -642 -571 Source: American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates 2013-2021 WRIGHT COUNTY GROWTH 6,000 5,000 4,000 3,000 2,000 1,000 0 2013 2014 2015 Source: American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates 2021 City of Monticello 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Households Added -Housing Units Added Housing Needs and Demand EMPLOYEE HOUSING is found both inside and outside the City.

However, these numbers are calculated by HUD using family incomes for the Minneapolis - St. Paul Metro. If calculated locally using a similar methodology, the income categories for households already living in Monticello would be much lower, as indicated in the table below. In Monticello, the area median income (as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and applied by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency) is $86,444 for a family of 4. This means that the 80% income limit is $69,155 for a family of 4. LOCAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME CATEGORIES FUNDING for newly constructed affordable housing often comes through subsidy that offsets costs of construction and/or operation, primarily through federal tax credits awarded by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. This allows rents to be set at an amount that is considered to be manageable for lower-income households, while also ensuring they have residual income to afford childcare, transportation, healthcare, and all other amenities necessary for personal and family health and stability. Many housing subsidy programs set income limits to qualify households, typically a percentage of the area median income, adjusted by household size.

Because incomes within the workforce vary (pg. 14), a range of housing options is needed to fit different needs. Workforce housing means ensuring a supply of affordable housing for employee households that earn minimum wage - and ensuring appropriately priced housing for moderate to high income earners in both the rental and ownership markets. Income categories below are calculated based on HUD methodology, and can be used to determine appropriate monthly housing costs for different households in Monticello. HOUSING AFFORDABILITY LIMITS =F010, • HOUSING VARIETY is a necessary component in a healthy housing market, as households have a variety of preferences and needs that impact where and how they can live. A healthy local economy requires a variety of housing to serve area employees including various structure types, sizes, locations, and price points. WORKFORCE AFFORDABILITY is different among essential members of the workforce. Management employees, service workers, municipal workers (police, fire, etc.) all have housing need, while all generally desire cost -appropriate housing that allows enough residual income to support other necessary expenses.

Importantly, there is also generally good distribution of rental units throughout the community. Interview and focus group conversations did not identify any particular areas that are lacking in access for renters, which is confirmed through assessment data (mapped Residential Properties Renter Occupied Monticello Housing Study Monticello, Wright County, MN Streets Interstate State Road US Highway Water Body Parcel Boundary L —1 Surrounding Municipality Monticello Rental Property Mixed Tenure Property Right of Way tnsn�,te, GIS Data Wrigh[ County GiS &Assessor Data DMSAa ozs as moes above), which shows consistency with the local understanding of the community. As would be expected within the City, there are higher concentrations of rental units throughout the downtown, core City, and off of key transportation corridors such as Interstate 94. However, neighborhood and subdivision access to rental housing options is adequate to provide choices in tenure for households, providing opportunity to own or rent in areas of their preference throughout Monticello.

Though the housing market extends outside of Monticello, and the City has a large commuter -share working in the Metro, incomes shown below illustrate the median for current residents living in the community. Using the City's incomes to determine affordability limits as opposed to those used by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency and U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development gives income ranges and categories found below, which reflect the lower average income than in other geographies. MONTICELLO INCOME CATEGORIES Source: American Community Survey S -Year Estimate for 2021 Family Income Adjusted per HUD FY Income Limits AFFORDABLE RENTAL LIMITS are calculated based on the incomes above and illustrate the general amount a household already living in the City could afford in the housing market without becoming housing cost burdened.

Housing production, however, has not. The shortfall in new homes is keeping the pressure on house prices and rents, eroding affordability particularly for modest -income households in high-cost markets. While demographic trends should support a vibrant housing market over the coming decade, realizing this potential depends heavily on whether the market can provide a broader and more affordable range of housing options for tomorrow's households. - Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University; State of the Nation's Housing 2019 31 TENURE IN THE HOUSING MARKET TENURE in the housing market refers to the structure of occupancy - ownership or rental. Within the City, ownership is by far the most common tenure type - more households own their primary place of residence than rent, though this has been decreasing slightly since 2010 (74.7% to 73.2% between 2010 and 2018). This is consistent with general trends within the region - similar homeownership shares in peer communities, generally more affordable housing than other areas of the larger region, and access to various types of structures. Lower-income households nationwide are more likely to be renter households, and this is true in the City as well, especially for the lowest income households earning 307o AMI or less. As households (and their associated incomes) are mobile, housing in the City represents larger shares of more lower-cost rental options that are affordable to lower -wage workers. High-income (>100% AMI) renters are choosing to live in the community, though a large majority of households transition to the ownership market once their income reaches this point. 2,000 1,800 1,600 1,400 1,200 1,000 0 800 w 0 600 400 200 0 _ HOUSEHOLDS, INCOME & TENURE Source: HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy Data not updated in 2023 Housing Study 0%-30%AMI 31%-50%AMI 51%-80%AMI 81%-100%AMI >100%AMI 0 Owner Renter 0% - 30% AMI 480 155 635 31% - 50% AMI 200 355 555 51% - 80% AMI 405 580 985 81% - 100% AMI 155 545 700 > 100% AMI 130 1,815 1,945 Total 1,370 3,450 4,820 Source: HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy Data not updated in 2023 Housing Study 0%-30%AMI 31%-50%AMI 51%-80%AMI 81%-100%AMI >100%AMI 0 Owner Renter 32 TENURE IN THE HOUSING MARKET REGIONAL PEER COMMUNITIES, while part of the commuter shed and larger Monticello housing market, display different trends in rates of homeownership. Income is generally higher for residents of these communities - and considering higher income ranges it is expected that they have higher rates of homeownership. Coupled with ease of transportation access and amenities found in Monticello, rental housing is more accessible and affordable as situated regionally. Monticello has the 2nd highest rate of renter households amongst its peer communities, with only Buffalo having a higher share of rental housing. This reflects not only income differences between these communities, but how the built environment has adjusted to market demand. With a higher share of ownership options available, households who want to purchase homes outside of the metro without the direct access to the Interstate have historically driven this market - and are more likely to be households with higher incomes and more purchasing power.

While there are renter households over 80% AMI that experience cost burden, higher -income cost burdened households often have the option to spend more than 30% of income toward housing while still maintaining the ability to cover fixed costs - cost burden by choice. Due to the structure of the rental market in the City, there are gaps in unit availability at appropriate price points to serve specific incomes in the market. Overall, there is a general oversupply of low-cost units that serve households between 31% and 80% AMI (approx. $800 - $1,300 monthly rent). These units represent natural appreciation of units within the market - they do not have subsidies that allow them to alleviate cost burden for the lowest - income households, while also not filling demand for the highest -income users in the market. There are significant housing gaps at both the top and bottom of the rental housing market, with an undersupply of market -rate units for households earning over 80% AMI (rental housing cost $1,500+) as well as affordable units with 250 200 150 100 50 Less than $20,000 $20,000 - $34,999 rents below $800 monthly. Although there is a high market gap, there is an upwards limit to income that can realistically be spent on housing. Many higher income households also value affordability (spending less than 30%), so this does not display true unit for unit demand for high cost housing. It does create some additional market tension, where some high income households rent significantly below what they could afford, using units otherwise affordable to lower-income households.

Of those experiencing cost burden in the City, 73% are severely cost burdened. This rate is significantly higher than in regional peer communities, 21.7 points higher than the next closest community. While rates of cost burden are low overall, higher income households "renting down", as well as increased demand in the market overall increases competition for units in the moderate- and middle- market segments. This also indicates a lack of appropriately - priced units for the lowest income households already living in the community, and indicates opportunity to better serve low-income households through income -restricted and subsidized units that ensure affordability levels not currently provided within the market.

While we know based on general over- and undersupply that higher - income renter households "rent down", spending less than 30% of income on housing, we can also match which income -range units they are actually occupying. In Monticello at the time of data collection, low- income households (80% AMI or under) had been renting 100% of higher -end market rate units. This has likely changed, as US Census and HUD data do not yet reflect unit increases in the market -rate segment of the Monticello rental market from newly developed units. This reflects some of the reason for increased rates of severe cost burden in the City overall, though due to unit numbers does not account for a large portion.

The largest mismatches in unit consumption in the City are from households earning 51% - 80% AMI renting units affordable to 31% - 50% AMI households (32% of those units), and 0% - 30% AMI households renting units above their affordability level (64% of all extremely low income households are in units unaffordable to them). While this means access to affordable housing options are readily available for low- and moderate -income households (>80% AMI), it also means that extremely low-income households (which are less competitive in the rental market) must spend more to secure housing, and often housing that is significantly above their affordability limit. 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% ■0%-30%AMI ■31%-50%AMI 51%-80%AMI 81%-100%AMI ■>100%AMI Source: HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy Data not updated in 2023 Housing Study City of Monticello Housing Needs and Demand 37 RENTAL UNIT CONSUMPTION WHILE UNIT CHOICE is important to the freedom and desirability of the local housing market, more options at appropriate price points can help guide consumers into more appropriately priced units that ease burden at all levels. Comments received in the 2020 Community Survey largely called out this need for housing across multiple price points - even when not directly asked. While a few respondents were hesitant toward new development, themes largely arose that clearly identified both affordable and executive level housing options as needs within the community. This included a significant response for increased housing support directed toward households at risk of homelessness - which per HUD guidance is considered severely cost burdened, extremely low-income renter households (approx. 225 of these households currently live in the City). RENTAL UNIT HOUSEHOLD OCCUPANCY The survey also identified specific building types they would like to see within the market - and in addition to amenity -rich market rate options for renters who may choose to telecommute, attached unit and townhome development were commonly listed as options to help fill the mid-level market, whether ownership or rental. In looking to directly address rental costs for low- income households, one method commonly used is to aim to add the undersupply. In Monticello, this would be a goal to add 265 units of rental housing affordable to the lowest -income earners in the community (0% - 30% AMI households). This would allow options for these households to eliminate or severely reduce their housing costs, decrease rates of rental cost burden, and open up units they were occupying to other households in the community or moving to the community at price - points appropriate to their own income.

Of note, there are very few rental units per the U.S. Census that are in 2-4 unit structures. C 36% of the rental units in the City are either single - unit detached or single -unit attached homes. Although a significant portion of the rental housing stock, 58% of all rental units are in 5+ unit structures. Commonly housing different household types, this balance across structure (and cost) segments indicates a healthy mix of preference and type options for varying household needs. .:.

One measure is whether or not the median renter household can afford the median RENTAL COST & INCOME rental unit, which is a measure of choice. If yes, 50% or more of all rental units would be available to that household. If no, choice is $1,400 restricted and market supply and demand are unbalanced. Though the median rent $1,200 was affordable to the median renter in $1,000 2021, the newest units in the City are not accounted for in this dataset. Recent $800 estimates of family income and rent (using HUD methodology) show both have risen $600 steadily in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. $400 $200 Ranges of unit rental costs in the City show that most units rent over $1,000 per month $0 (including utilities), and though there are 2013 2014 2016 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 units priced below $500 monthly, there Median Rent Rent Affordable to Median Renter Household is not enough supply for residents at this Source: American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates 2021 income level already living in the City.

This marks a 20% increase in monthly rent for 2 -bedroom units since 2020. Within the market, however, there is significant variation in unit costs expected with variance in age of construction, location, and amenities. Among peer communities, Monticello generally sees lower rent for units of all sizes across the spectrum. Due to the way ACS data is calculated, recent rental unit construction is not included. As of 2021 ACS 5 -year averages, Monticello tends to have highest 3 -bedroom rental units amongst its regional peers. All other unit prices in Monticello remain generally more affordable or on par with prices elsewhere in the region, although matching affordability for current residents remains a top concern. $2,000 $1,800 $1,600 $1,400 $1,200 $1,000 $800 $600 $400 $200 S MONTHLY RENTAL ESTIMATES - ,.

Healthy rental vacancy rates are considered to be between 5% and 7% of all units. This falls within the assumed vacancy for new development (5%), allows turnover and growth in population, keeps market rental cost increases to appropriate amounts, and provides a general balance between landlord and tenant. The U.S. Census Bureau provides relatively accurate numbers for rental vacancy in the City, especially when utilizing moving averages over multiple survey years. These vacancy numbers were verified to be relatively accurate through interviews with property managers, developers, and landlords, though there was variation reported based on unit age and condition. Generally, more affordable older units were at vacancies approaching 0%, while newer unit construction had greater vacancy - though still below typical development assumption of 5%. In general, low vacancy increases competition for units, and as a byproduct can inflate year over year rental cost increases. These large year over year increases were confirmed by study participants, with some reporting contract rent increases of over 10% on an annual basis without impacting renewals or lease -ups.

Doing so would allow potential residents, employees, and commuters that prefer smaller markets the opportunity to move into the community. It would also allow healthy turnover of units within the market providing more choices of housing for current residents, and allow residents to self-select into housing of both an appropriate size and type. The significant decrease in rental vacancy from 2013 to 2021 has continued, and though development has occurred, property owners and managers interviewed for the study did not report significant vacancies at their properties - with all below the recognized healthy range of 5%-7%. It should be noted that the available vacancy data lags actual conditions, and while anecdotal reports indicate low vacancy, the continued production of new rental units in 2022 and 2023 may finally be pushing vacancy up again. If and when vacancy rises, it will slow the rise of rental rates but should not be expected to result in lower rates. Source: American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates 2021 Rental Market 42 RENTAL HOUSING SIZE HOUSEHOLD SIZE is important to the housing market, as larger households require units with more bedrooms to not be overcrowded (more then 1 person per room). In 2021, over half (520) of rental housing in Monticello was occupied by 1 -person households; all other household sizes (2 -person to 7 or more) combined make up remaining 480 of rental -occupied housing units. Of note, between 2018 and 2021, the number of 3 -person renter households increased from 45 to 133—an increase of 195%. Similarly, the estimated number of 3 -bedroom rental units increased from 223 to 464 according to ACS 5 -year estimates. These were the largest increases among household sizes and unit bedroom sizes. While the majority of rental units are still 1 -and 2 -bedrooms (58%),the growth in 3 -person rental households and 3 -bedrooms rental units over the last few years shows there is strong demand larger rentals that provide more space. In the rental market, especially for low- and moderate -income family households, maintaining access to 3 or more bedroom units will be important in the coming years to allow residents to grow their families in place.

One key amenity that is not often mentioned in housing choice is access to fiber internet connection. As many rural areas struggle with access, this amenity could work to further attract former metro residents who prefer smaller town accommodations, while allowing fluidity in commute as well as telecommute access. If this trend does persist long-term, even a small change in preference to work from home or more remote locations could have a significant impact on the rental housing market, as well as preferences for size of housing. 600 500 400 300 z D 200 100 0 NUMBER OF BEDROOMS - RENTAL ■ Efficiency ■ 1 -Bedroom 2 -Bedroom 3 -Bedroom 4 -Bedroom ■ 5+ Bedroom Source: American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates 2021 Efficiency 1 -Bedroom 2 -Bedroom 3 -Bedroom 4 -Bedroom 5+ Bedroom 43 44 RENTAL UNITS 8C BUILDINGS Apartment Buildings MaNkAddress A�jkijt�icipated Constructed/ Monticello Crossings 202 2205 Meadow Oak Ave 2015 Savanna Vista 200 The Pointes at Cedar 2025 Deephaven Apartments 165 1255 Edmonson Ave NE 2022 Headwaters West Senior Apartments (55+) 102 Golf Course Rd & 7th St 2024 Twin Pines 96 School Blvd TBD *Willows Landing 192 9872 Hart Blvd 2020 *St Benedicts—(Independent Living) 191 1301 E 7th St 1999 Block 52 First Addition 187 101 W Broadway St 2024 The Bluffs 172 1700 , 707, 714 E 7th St 1987 Headwaters Twinhome Senior Living (55+) 160 I Tee Box Trl 2024 Monticello Village Apts 160 1725 - 733 MN St 2000 *St Benedicts—(Independent Living) 159 1305 E 7th St 1999 *Mississippi Shores 149 1213 Hart Blvd 1997 Ridgemont Apts—(Low Income) 148 716 Maple St 1988 Rivertown Residential Suites 147 1212 Locust St 2020 Ridgeway Apts—(Low Income) 144 330 - 333 W 6th St 1976 Westcello Apts 144 915 - 921 Golf Course Rd 1987 *Cedar Crest Apt 38 406 Cedar St 1977 Hillside Properties 1—(Low Income) 35 1207 E 7th St 1981 Silvercrest Apts 35 1307 E 7th St 2002 *River Park View Apts 31 1218 W River St 1986 *Broadway Square Apts 28 1243 W Broadway 1989 Terrace View Apts—(Low Income) 26 1401 E 7th St 1986 City of Monticello Housing Needs and Demand RENTAL UNITS SC BUILDINGS CONT.

High-income earning households can afford rents associated with higher cost of new -construction, and developers can market increased costs through increased amenities. However, lower-income households largely cannot afford new construction. Construction cost and the requisite rents to cover debt service, reserves, and operating expenses even under a conservative example necessitate rents that would be unaffordable for low-income households. Simply, construction costs are a direct barrier to ensuring Monticello's lowest -income households have access to housing they can afford. To ensure expanded opportunities and units that meet the needs of all residents of the City, subsidies are needed to offset construction costs to make more units affordable, in combination with rehabilitation programs to ensure continued unit adequacy at affordable cost (pg. 27), especially for existing aging units.

This holds true across all areas of the City, not only throughout various neighborhood and subdivisions, though downtown parcels are more evenly divided. Owner housing is a large and key component of the local housing market, and ownership opportunity is one of the key considerations that has been driving growth in the City over the past decade. 51 Owner Occupied Residential Properties By Number of Units Monticello Housing Study Monticello, Wright County, MN Streets Interstate -\, State Road US Highway S Water Body rn Parcel Boundary � _I Surrounding Municipality IIID Monticello Number of Units Single Unit Detached Single Unit Attached Manufactured Home Park Right of Way Dam saaTe: Minnemm GIS Dam �/([� Wright County G's &Assessw- )".

Notably, the two manufactured home parks account for over 200 total units of owner -occupied housing, which serves a key market in the City for low-cost housing stability at a reduced cost. Ownership Market 52 AFFORDABILITY LIMITS IN THE OWNERSHIP MARKET INCOME OF RESIDENTS is central to housing affordability. For ownership opportunities, this largely refers to the "purchasing power" of a given household based on known incomes. Though the housing market extends outside of Monticello, and the City has a large commuter -share working in the Metro, incomes shown below illustrate the median for current residents of the community. Using the City's incomes to determine affordability limits as opposed to those used by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency and U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development gives income ranges and categories found below, which reflect the lower average income than in other geographies. MONTICELLO INCOME CATEGORIES PURCHASE LIMITS based on the incomes above illustrate the general amount a household could afford in the housing market without becoming housing cost burdened. The median income household in the City could afford a $290,452 home purchase from annual income of $86,444.

Referring to whether a household owns or rents their property, tenure's impacts means that larger shares of owner households in a community mean more owner housing stock - and more choices for households who prefer ownership as a tenure over renting. The current percent of ownership households in Monticello is slightly less than in most regional peer communities. While this makes it slightly out of line for the region, it does have easy access to Interstate 94, generally lower-cost housing, and older rental housing stock that make it more affordable for renters, decreasing owner households as a percentage of the community overall.

This is not an uncommon occurrence, as increased income opens up increased ownership opportunities and eases costs associated with homeownership (down payment, taxes, etc.). While the largest share of owner households in the City earn more than the metro median income, there are still large portions of lower-income households who do own their housing within the City. These households may be attracted to the general lower cost of housing compared to other areas of the metro - they also often represent aging homeowners who have entered retirement and seen significant loss in income, which brings new challenges. Although these owners may own their home free and clear, they may struggle with property tax payments, upkeep, and other factors of homeownership that require continual maintenance funds or physical requirements that aging populations sometimes struggle to meet.

While the rental housing market in Monticello is marked by relatively high levels of cost burden (> 30% income toward rental costs), the ownership housing market has significantly reduced levels of burden in comparison. Further - for those households in the ownership market who do experience cost burden, they are much less likely to experience severe cost burden (> 50% income toward housing costs). While housing is a necessity, so all households must participate in the market in some aspect, owner households have the financial resources available to choose to purchase their housing. An effect of that choice is that in order to qualify, potential owner households must meet underwriting standards - an aspect of the market that drastically reduces the cost risk associated with owning, as borrowers are more likely to have higher incomes and increased access to credit. Owner Households ■ Cost Burden <=30% ■ Cost Burden >30% to <=50% Cost Burden >50% Source: HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy Data not updated in 2023 Housing Study Ownership Market 55 56 OWNER STRESS BY INCOME OWNER HOUSING STRESS in Monticello exists almost entirely within low-income households. Important to consider is that for households above this amount - 80% AMI or greater, cost burden is less impactful than for low-income households. Even accounting for increased housing costs, costs associated with fixed -cost goods (childcare, healthcare, food, etc.) allow more flexibility within a monthly budget to allow some levels of cost burden while maintaining financial stability. For lower-income households, there is less room for increased costs or unexpected expenditure. In ownership unit mismatch, homes available in the market are generally oversupplied in the lower cost market when considering incomes for the 11 -county metro. This is consistent with known lower housing costs in the area - but is also reflective of slightly lower incomes in the City than the County and metro as a whole. 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% OWNERSHIP UNIT MISMATCH Ve55 tray X20 000 X20 o to Aga 999 X35 � toA9 999 X50 � to 999 0 Cost Burden No Cost burden Unit numbers are reflective of vacancy within the market Source: HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy Data not updated in 2023 Housing Study oPte 0� ��5 X00 OWNER HOUSING STRESS COST BURDENED OWNER HOUSEHOLDS I Municipality Monticello with Cost Burden (30%-50%) 370 Severe Burden (>50%) 110 - - ely Burdened 23% Buffalo 455 190 29% Becker 170 55 24% Big Lake 465 255 35% St. Michael 415 295 42% Wright County 4,065 2,330 36% Most recent dataset vintage 2016.

This is again reflective of relatively more affordable housing costs in the City compared to peer communities, and has been decreasing year-to-year. Combined, these factors display relative historic stability within the ownership market. For the majority of those that own their homes, current housing costs are relatively affordable. With that in mind, housing prices are appreciating to a point where more typical homes within the community are becoming more unaffordable to the typical household - due to a combination of slight reduction in income, increased housing demand, and increasing housing prices in the ownership market.

Per HUD data, within the City the largest share of ownership homes in the market (1,810 units) should be affordable to households earning about 50% of the 13 -county metro's AMI ($52,000 for a family of 4). Of these housing units, only about 20% are owned by households that fall into that income category. The remainder are owned by higher - income households, with nearly 45% being owned by households earning above the 1000 of the 1 1 -county area median income. These homes are extremely affordable to higher - income households, and provide desirable affordable ownership options for high income earners. However, it does provide increased competition that precludes lower-income earners from entering the owner housing market.

These households are consuming units in the housing market that are very affordable to them - their relative incomes significantly lower housing cost burden, and income shares spent on housing costs are extremely low. While this is beneficial to these households, it does strain the market and ultimately increase sales prices in all housing ranges, from entry-level homes upward. Consistent with insights from the 2020 Community Survey, residents feel that the largest negative aspect to the housing market in Monticello is ownership housing affordability (457o of all respondents), with 527o of those with an opinion indicating that affordable housing is becoming increasing harder to find year-to-year. As the market is restricted, community concerns of affordability and availability are connected as higher -income owner households can outbid lower-income households for homes that would otherwise be affordable at a lower rate. 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% 00%-30%AMI 31%-50%AMI 51%-80%AMI 081%-100%AMI >100%AMI Source: HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy Data not updated in 2023 Housing Study City of Monticello HOUSEHOLD INCOME Housing Needs and Demand OWNER UNIT CONSUMPTION DISPARITY in ownership opportunity is apparent when looking at the distribution of homes, by value, that have a lien on the property. The table above shows the household incomes of occupants of ownership housing both with and without a mortgage. Difference in mortgage status can generally be thought of as "purchased in the past 15-30 years" for homes with a mortgage and "purchased more than 15-30 years ago" for homes without a mortgage. For units with a mortgage (representing more recent home purchases), 57% were purchased by households earning more than the 11 -county OWNERSHIP UNIT HOUSEHOLD OCCUPANCY median family income ($103,400 for a family of 4). However, homeowners > 100% AMI own only 38% of homes without a mortgage. While some of this discrepancy is due to reduced income for retirees who have paid off their homes, it is also reflective of appreciating values within the market over a typical 30 -year amortization period - those homes that have resold have sold for more. Tightening lending standards and unit availability do have an impact on lower-income households within the market, but many are finding homes that they can purchase, especially households at middle -incomes that are greater than 50% of the 13 -county median income.

Data not updated in 2023 Housing Study City of Monticello Housing Needs and Demand AFFORDABILITY TRENDS GENERAL MEASURES AND TRENDS in homeowner affordability have to do with market conditions in real estate markets and prospective buyer incomes at the time of purchase. Looking at housing in the City of Monticello, home values historically peaked pre -Great Recession before seeing a decrease in value through the recession. Both townhome and single family units have regained lost value associated with the recession, surpassing previous market highs by 2015 and continuing to rise since. Within the City, many households have remained in their home for long periods of time, with many having been in their unit since 2009 or earlier. These represent long -tenured homeowners who are residing in their homes longer than the 7 -year national average. There is also an increasing number of homeowners who have moved into their home after 2015 with the development of new units.

The City of Monticello experienced rising incomes for residents coming out of the recession - and for a time these incomes rose at a rate ahead of the real estate market. When single-family and townhome units reached the bottom of their market dip in 2012, both were affordable to many local households based on income. In 2012, the median single -unit home was within the affordability limit of not only the median household, but also within the limits of households at 80% and 50% of the City median income. Households at 50% AMI had seen an increase in incomes so that the median condo/townhouse unit was an attainable method of homeownership through 2015. $400,000 $350,000 $300,000 $250,000 Since 2014 however, house value growth has drastically outpaced income growth for the same period, most significantly since 2020, to the point that the median single -unit home is no longer affordable to even the median household, much less the an 80% AMI household in the City. This is largely reflective of regional forces and increased demand that appreciate home values, while local income conditions have caused the median Monticello household to see a slight reduction in real income over recent years. Of note, the appreciation in market value of both single -unit detached and condo/townhouse units has continued to rise at a steady rate. The relative consistency in appreciation has more than doubled housing prices for entry into the ownership market over the past decade, while current incomes remain at a similar levels to a decade ago, illustrating challenges in ownership opportunity and affordable options. ........... -' .......... .. •• ..�� '�• $200,000 .�� • ... $150,000OA ..ISOOF •.. $100,000 $50,000 ti� titi ti� ti� ti� tib tib by tib tiro til ti� ti� ti� ti� ti� titi ti� ti� ti� bac yeQ `Sad �a� '4 49 `Saa qac 49 40 >at' 49 40 -1a11' 49 `Sad -1a11 49 40 Single -Family Value -Townhome Value ----Median Income Affordability Limit ----Low Income Affordability Limit ----Very Low Income Affordability Limit 63 AFFORDABILITY TRENDS INCREASING SALES PRICES of houses in the City directly impact monthly owner cost and affordability. While some homes are owned free and clear with monthly costs consisting solely of taxes and insurance, new borrowers are paying increasingly more for housing. Appreciation as well as the large cost of new construction places ownership entry costs into higher brackets year to year, and represent many of the higher monthly owner costs recorded.

For purposes of this study, this is tracked as the "Bottom Tier Home Value" and is the median of the 511, to 35t1, percentile of all home values within the City. These homes followed the same general trend both going into and coming out of the recession - showing consistent steady increases in cost over the past decade. Amongst peer communities, Monticello still has the lowest -cost entry point into the ownership market, even considering appreciation. However, the "starter home" market is still becoming increasingly unaffordable for those who live in the City. As of the most recent data and estimates (2023), the median starter -home cost is just out of reach of the affordability limit for a City household earning 80% of the median income ($269,000 home entry cost vs. $263,000 purchase limit). As housing costs continue to rise throughout the market, Monticello households below the AMI will be increasingly precluded or "priced -out" of ownership opportunities in the City, consistent with occupancy and consumption records.

As the local housing market was coming out of the recession, there was a market slowdown - though this slowdown (as represented by months' of supply) still indicated a balanced market. Months' supply is generally considered to be balanced when there are 4-6 months' of inventory in the market. As that lessens, it is indicative of increased competition for available homes in what is often referred to as a "seller's market". Since peaking in 2011 at more than three months, the average days on market has dropped to a steady 2-3 weeks on market over the past 4 years. There is seasonal variation within the data that reflect common market periods, but time on market has generally decreased to a point where during peak real estate season, houses have averaged less than 3 weeks since 2016. SINGLE-FAMILY AVAILABILITY 140 120 100 v c 80 0 H 0 60 40 20 This increased sales activity is directly reflected in the months of supply metric, as it is the balance between inventory and demand (number of sales). Together, these metrics indicate a competitive market with increased competition among buyers that is causing cost inflation well beyond the 2% average U.S. inflation rate. A slight increase in months supply in recent years may be due to the increase in units coming online within the City which can signal a return to a more balanced market. 5 -YEAR AVERAGE APPRECIATION RATE ON MEDIAN SF HOME: 9.3% ANNUALLY 5 -YEAR APPRECIATION ON MEDIAN SF HOME (BY SALES PRICE: $130,450 Source: Multiple Listing Service 0 >ac 1J\ 'IF, 10 >ao 1�\ >ao 1J\ >ao 1J\ >ao 1J\ 1110 1J\ Source: Multiple Listing Service -Days on Market -Months Supply 7 6 5 CL OL D 4 t Y C cO G 3 2 1 T 0 ti� titi ti� ti� Ownership Market 65 66 HOUSE AVAILABILITY INVENTORY of single-family houses for sale slowly decreased from 2015 to 2021, with a slight increase in the last two years. As inventory decreased, the median sales price showed steady corresponding increases - with fewer homes available, and steady demand, markets shift toward favoring sellers through increased competition and appreciation. As available supply has slightly increased over the past two years, there was still a marked increase in the median sales price due to the skyrocketing demand for home buying coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic amid very low interest rates. With recent high interest rates, the sales price should stabilize. From January 2015 to January 2021 during the period of decreasing inventory, the median home appreciated at a rate of 10.2% annually. The recent slight increase in inventory has correlated with appreciated at a rate of 5.2% annually for the median home. This shows that increasing inventory helps to ease pressures on the market that cause cost increases, though the months of supply metric indicates there is still demand for units in the market that will further shift buyer/seller indices toward a more balanced market.

Since coming out of the recession, sellers have generally accepted offers that have been more than 95% of the asking price for single- family homes in the City. The greatest peak in this ratio came amid the COVID-19 pandemic in the summer of 2021 when sellers accepted offers that were nearly 105% of their list price. With increasing supply coming in 2022, the sale to list price ratio dipped slightly, tracking with the slight decrease in median sales price.

Though Monticello's market was slightly slower to see increased competition and increasing offers post -recession (when tracked through sale:listing ratio), it then increased to become the second community to see the median sale cost meeting asking price, behind only Big Lake. Monticello has the highest current sale:list price ratio among its peer communities, though many have shown a consistency through the past year. Off-peak sales without a large percent decrease in sales price indicates that growth potential for the region is strong, and demand is shifting into other areas. It also likely indicates that Monticello (as the community with the largest ratio) is seeing demand that it cannot fill with the existing stock, which has spillover into other regional communities (both peer communities and others), although this is impossible to tell solely from data. 105% 100% 95% 90% TOWNHOME PCT OF ORIGINAL PRICE IN PEER COMMUNITIES JULY 2020) 99% in July 2020 SINGLE-FAMILY PCT OF ORIGINAL PRICE IN PEER COMMUNITIES JULY 2020) 100% for 4 consecutive months Source: Multiple Listing Service 85% T TT T >ao >�� >ao -Monticello -Big Lake -Buffalo -Saint Michael MORTGAGE STATUS AGE OF HOUSEHOLDERS is one of the aspects that impacts mortgage status. While the average householder nationally remains in their home for 7 years, many members of the community purchase homes to age into them, not for capital investment, but to provide consistent shelter costs throughout their ownership. The City of Monticello has a large number of owner households with a mortgage on their property, consistent with the age range of the owners themselves. With 69% of all owner -occupied homes being owned by residents under the age of 55, the largest portion of the ownership market will look to either remain in their homes, or consider move -up housing options. The remaining 30% of owner households 55 or older may choose to age -in-place, while some will require of her housing options in the community with age -accessibility options.

Which often represents younger ownership markets - areas where young family households with no children will locate to be able to afford a "starter home" within their price range before having children. Knowing that the market in Monticello is generally affordable when compared to the larger region, the large number of 1 -person and 2 -person households is typical under that context. These smaller household types make up 57% of all owner households in the City, slightly more than the County as a whole, and more than all peer communities. As these households continue to undergo expansion, or changes in life circumstance, they often look to move up into options that afford more space to grow. This includes 3- and 4- bedroom units as family size grows. Additionally, there has been a trend of commuter -share households who may prefer the housing cost and community character of Monticello, who will continue to telecommute or work from home in evolving employment markets, which may increase need for housing size over time at a rate unpredicted by needs based solely upon household size requirements.

Ownership housing often has a larger size (more bedrooms) than rental units, and is a component of the preference for families in commonly seeking out ownership housing units rather than rental. While smaller -unit ownership housing is generally more affordable both within existing and new -construction markets, balance between small and large bedroom units within a community helps to accommodate households who wish to remain long-term residents through changes in need and requirements. Manufactured homes likely make up a sizable portion of smaller ownership housing units listed as 1- and 2 -bedroom units (up to 25% of these categories). Development of smaller -size single -unit structures outside of manufactured home communities are an important component of the housing market, especially as prices continue to appreciate so that options are available for families without children, aging households have the option to downsize, and lower-income households have the ability to enter the ownership market earlier.

However, the local Continuum of Care (Central CoC) still tracks and reports homelessness within the community. A vital statistic is the annual PIT (Point -In -Time) count, which takes the total number of persons experiencing homelessness on a given night in the community. This data include those who are experiencing homelessness but sheltered. For instance, all homeless individuals and families in Wright County during the PIT in 2019 were in some form of shelter - and all households with children reported were in transitional housing. It is important to note that the PIT does not always capture all homeless households, especially in more rural areas. Common categories that count as homeless, though not "literal homelessness" include doubling up with friends or family, stays in hotels, and other types of "recovery" homes - although these households may not have a fixed, permanent nighttime residence.

But there are different risk factors associated with homelessness, which include financial insecurity and housing cost burden. Per the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, households who are extremely low-income (<30% AMI), severely cost burdened, renter households are those who are at the greatest risk of facing homelessness, and are classified "at -risk". In quickly appreciating and tight housing markets, extremely low-income households are likely to be the first "squeezed out", and income shocks are more impactful to a household remaining in housing. In most recent data (2016), there are 200 households in the City of Monticello that meet this definition of being at -risk of homelessness - those with the lowest incomes, whose housing costs make up the highest portion of their annual incomes. The number of these at -risk households has largely remained consistent on a yearly basis, perhaps even slightly declining over time. As recent income estimates show slight decreases, while housing markets have shown increased costs, it would be expected that the number of households already living in the community that classify would increase - especially under consideration that this AMI standard is for the 1 1 -county metro, which has largely shown income growth over the same timeframe. If income in the 1 1 -county metro continues to show strong growth, and local incomes remain consistent or decrease slightly, more local households fall into the definition of low-income categories used by Minnesota Housing Finance Agency and HUD which set 30%, 50%, 60%, and 80% AMI income standards for the region. 255 250 225 200 200 200 1-0�190 180 150 0-100 150 100 50 T6 0 ti�1� At -Risk Households T13 -1T " T AGING POPULATIONS SENIOR HOUSEHOLDS are anticipated to have the largest percentage growth through 2050. Many are current homeowners, and some will require different accommodations, specialized housing, or programming to assist aging -in-place. Senior housing generally refers to the combination of services and housing that allow seniors to continue to live comfortably. This ranges from continuing to live in their own home with virtually no services, townhomes and apartments that offer the ability to "downsize" living quarters, specialized housing units with limited services, and different types of assisted living facilities. Generally, independent -living senior facilities attract residents age 65 and older, while more specialized facilities (assisted living, etc.) attract residents who are age 80 and over and need assistance with daily living activities. The Community Basics section of this plan detailed expected population increases for 400 350 300 Ln 250 0 J Q W 200 N Q = 150 100 50 0 senior populations in the City. In addition, growth in population aged 35 and older often sees an accompanying increase in senior populations as persons aged 35-54 often have parents who will locate closer to their children for care as they age into more intensive services and care. As varying levels of services are included with different types of housing for aging populations, typical affordability standards do not apply. Often senior households will pay up to 50% of their income for market rate senior housing, up to 90% of their income for specialized and assisted living, often funded in part through the sale of a home they owned. Many households age 62+ in the City are still homeowners, who have not yet sold homes to fund other housing or services, while those 85+ are more likely to be renters as they continue to age and need alternate accommodations. Over the next 30 years, approximately 1,500 residents will age into the 80+ age category, and may look to sell their housing for other living options. ■ <30%AMI - 31%-50% AM 1 51%-80% AM I >80% AM I 77 78 AGING POPULATIONS MANY AGING HOUSEHOLDS will be able to use funds from home sales for other housing options. While home value increases make it more difficult for lower-income households to enter the housing market, it also means that senior homeowners have access to extra capital through the rapid appreciation of homes, and will have more funds available to ensure care as they continue to age. Assuming that a senior household owns their home free and clear, and their home sells for a median value of $265,450 (circa 2020), they would be able to generate approximately $5,360 in annual income from a 2% interest producing account ($446.50 per month) to supplement housing costs. Monticello's 2020 mill rate (at the highest district value) signifies an additional $2,900 annually they would have already been paying for housing cost, which brings their monthly total housing allowance to $690 without increasing share of income spent on housing. 55+ DETAILED HOUSEHOLD CATEGORIES - MONTICELLO 600 490 500 400 300 446 Importantly, many of the households who might otherwise have sold their home during the past decade may have delayed plans for other housing options due to decreased housing values associated with the recession, choosing to continue to age -in-place. With recent appreciation of home values in the City, these households may be more interested in sale of their home over the coming years should demand continue to drive appreciation closer to the 8% average annual mark post -recession. In the next 10 years, this does not represent a drastic number of housing units that may be transitioning - likely between 125 and 145 units, or 12-15 annually. However long-term, especially as other 55+ age groups continue to age, this could represent upwards of 30 additional units per year opening to new owner households, which will help alleviate some market pressures through transition of existing housing stock - including more housing stock in desirable locations at various price points that had not been on the market for many years. 208 196 200 156 176 127 100 100 63 48 0 ■ • 55 to 59 60 to 64 65 to 74 75 to 84 85 and over Source: American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates 2021 City of Monticello ■ Owner ■ Renter Housing Needs and Demand DISABILITY PERSONS WITH A DISABILITY do not inherently require access to specific housing types or accommodations, dependent upon the type and severity of the disability. More commonly, persons with a disability receive services and accommodations related to the disability as they continue to age and require more specialized forms of housing. This is due to the percentage of population, by age, that experience a disability being disproportionately higher in aging and senior households. When housing units are constructed, they are not traditionally built using methods that easily accommodate aging populations and often require renovation such as wider doorways, lower countertops, and zero entry showers/baths. For instance, Monticello offers density, height, and parking bonuses/reductions for new construction with significant percentages of units built to universal design standards (among other green building standards) within overlay districts. These standards will remain an integral component of choice for aging households over the next 30 years.

Current City trends show that while there are households containing a member with a disability in all income ranges, there is especially a need at both the highest and lowest income categories, indicating need for both affordable and market rate housing options. While lower-income households often have disabilities go unreported or undiagnosed, there are residents at all ages in households of all incomes that require access to appropriate housing design to meet their needs. Many middle- income households may additionally fall into lower-income categories as income becomes more limited in retirement. 200 195 150 145 0 100 . 95 85 90 65 r 0 1 0 55 50 30 There is no database on a local level for units currently accessible (due to the nature of private market retrofits at varying levels), though estimates nationally place accessible single family homes at just 1 % of the total housing stock. This is important as, even at advanced ages, many residents choose to continue to remain in their own housing. For those that do move at advanced ages, including in the ownership market, over 50% choose to actively seek out residential units with accessibility features such as no -step entries, level style door handles, accessible shelving and electrical, and single floor living. As the population of the City continues to age, and parents of residents move to be closer to their primary caretaker, ensuring continued supply of units with accessibility features should remain a priority. 200 115 95 95 85 85 175 < 30% AMI 31% - 50% AMI 51% - 80% AMI > 80% AMI 105 0 Hearing/Vision Impairment Ambulatory Limitation Cognitive Limitation Self-Care/Independent Living Limitation 82 LOCAL IMPACTS on Housing NEW CONSTRUCTION NEW CONSTRUCTION IN THE CITY has increased significantly post -recession, with the single -unit detached market being the first residential construction sector to rebound with significant starts in 2012. Since 2012, the attached -unit market also started seeing increases in starts annually in the City, with every year bringing at least a handful of new units online. New single -unit permits peaked in 2014, briefly declined and then peaked again in 2021. In recent years, the attached -unit market has made up 50% or more of all new single -unit construction making up for a period of construction dominated by single -unit attached. 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 101110 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 While there is still a healthy amount of construction activity in the single -unit market on an annual basis, construction costs have been increasing - and therefore ownership and rental costs as well. This is one of the forces regionally and nationally pushing toward attached -unit construction, as efficiencies in construction and decreased land cost create some cost -savings in the development process. Attached units are a key component of a healthy market, especially in Monticello, where generally lower regional incomes combined with increased demand from in -migration means that more affordable options are needed to ensure current residents can continue to call Monticello home.

This development primarily occurs to supplement the rental supply with newer options, as many of the existing rental units in the City are in older multi -unit buildings. Multifamily development in the City has historically existed in older housing stock, and as residents commuting to the metro continues to increase, expanding and diversifying options across market segments helps to expand opportunity for a variety of household types across all incomes, family types, and preferences. Recent market rate developments in the City report healthy lease up rates with less vacancy required than expected in development assumptions, and it is likely that there is a continued market for multifamily housing to continue to serve as market differentiators for the City.

City of Monticello In years where multi -unit construction occurs, it makes up a significant portion of housing starts. 26% or more of current rental units in the market exist in 20+ unit buildings with new larger apartment buildings fueling unit development in recent years. There is also opportunity to expand construction while balancing housing options through encouragement of new single -unit rental properties both attached and detached, which currently exist in the core city as well as in subdivisions and neighborhoods throughout the City in developments known as build -to rent -units. 2016 2017 2018 Multi -Unit ■ Attached ■ Detached 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023* Housing Needs and Demand NEW UNIT AFFORDABILITY PERMITTED UNITS are charged permit fees, which are based on the total cost of construction (valuation) - as market costs are largely unknowable at the time of permitting. This makes judging future affordability of proposed units somewhat difficult, as builders and developers are taking a risk in development that their investment will come online in an appreciated market to maximize returns. While there is no consistent, perfect method to anticipate future market costs based solely on the cost of construction, the basis of just construction costs adjusted for builder/developer profit show general ranges for what a buyer would pay for the type and quality of construction needed in new single-family starts regardless of location in the City. The National Association of Home Builders reports a decreasing gross profit since 2020 with current percentages at 18.20. Using this gross profit percentage applied to valuation over the past 5 years, the chart below shows the approximate market construction cost of units (cost to buyer) that have been permitted. This is necessary to track trends in new construction, as many homes may not be directly listed with the Multiple Listing Service, but marketed and sold either before built, or directly by the developer. In recent years, the shift from low-cost to higher - cost can be seen through the number of units with higher construction costs year-to-year.

Though house construction in recent years has spanned many building sales price categories (consumer costs excluding land), in terms of NEW SINGLE-FAMILY CONSTRUCTION COST TO BUYERS affordability much construction is still higher than many households that live in the City can afford. The low end of the buyer construction cost range (<$300,000) would be "affordable" to a household earning approximately $90,000 annually, which is still above the average median household in the City. The high-end range ($350,000+), equates to affordable cost for a household earning $104,000 annually, which is nearly $20,000 greater than the median household income for the City - and does not include significant land pricing.

Residential values have increased significantly in recent years consistent with overall market conditions, and outpacing commercial valuations by as much as 3 -to -1. As assessments and valuations roll into housing cost for resident homeowners, increasing valuations can lead to increasing unaffordability for residents who own their homes, especially those with limited, fixed, or decreasing incomes. As Monticello's median family income has remained relatively steady since 2010, this can create tension in the housing market where owners invested at the top of their affordability limits can see increases that make their current housing unaffordable.

Appreciating housing is important to healthy markets, and provides a stable financial base for homeowners into the future. However as the capital is tied up into housing, the increased costs at rates higher than inflation and income increase can become burdensome over time. Spatially within the City, subdivision development in the residential market generally sees higher property values than areas built out in the City center, with the exception of riverfront properties. Attached -unit affordability is also shown directly in this map, as observed through categorization differences between detached and attached ownership areas. Local Impacts 88 IMPROVEMENT VALUE RATIO PARCEL VALUATION is made up of two components - land value and improvement value. While both land and improvements (buildings) generally appreciate over time, development and use trends can drastically shift associated land values over the course of decades. In practice, this means that very desirable areas have large increases in land value, while other areas grow at rates more consistent with overall inflation. This shifting land value impacts the housing market due to the overall usable life of residential buildings. Single -unit homes have a usable life of 100 years or more, while small- to mid-size multi - units buildings can have a usable life between 65 and 80 years if properly maintained. Since construction and development is based heavily on financial incentive, parcels with low Improvement:Land value ratios are more prone to redevelopment, and will often see increased pressure for teardown/rebuilds even in the single family market. In the City, newer construction generally shows higher Improvement: Land Value ratios. This is partially due to lower land costs (location) as well as increased construction cost and buyer preference (size/bedrooms/etc.). Areas of the City that are most prepared for redevelopment are, in general, areas of the downtown and central city that have older housing stock and low ratios, while greenfield construction will increase values on the edges of the City.

While most communities charge similar types of fees, the way each municipality calculates those fees and the rates they set can vary significantly depending on their differing contexts and needs. A detailed summary table comparing a sample of Monticello's development fees for 2023 in relation to its regional peers can be found in the Appendix. One-to-one comparisons between fees are not always possible given the differing methods for calculating fees amongst the municipalities. For example, Monticello calculates its cash -in -lieu of parkland dedication fee based on the fair market value of the raw land in the new subdivision (set at 1 I%), while the City of Buffalo charges different rates based on the number and type of residential units being created ($2,900 per single family unit or $5,800 per duplex). Two types of fees that are able to be compared on a relatively one-to-one basis are area trunk area utility charges and availability/access charges for water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater infrastructure. For the sake of comparison, the tables below detail the how these charges would vary if the Savanna Vista multi -family apartment complex and Featherstone 6th Addition single family home developments were hypothetically built in each community (these are real world projects planned or already constructed in the City of Monticello). These calculations are for the sake of comparison and may not reflect the true cost of these charges in each community.

However, it should be assumed their total trunk area fees would be higher than the amount listed in the above tables. For these two developments, Monticello's total fees are neither the most or least expensive amongst its regional peers. For availability/access charges, St. Michael and Big Lake are the most expensive communities, with Monticello in third place. Buffalo and Becker's availability/access charges by comparison are dramatically less than the other communities since they charge a flat amount per development rather than calculate their fees based on the number of units or total acreage in the development. This discrepancy is seen most dramatically with the hypothetical 200 -unit multi -family apartment complex, and demonstrates how different methodologies for calculating fees can impact the total cost passed on to consumers. City of Monticello Housing Needs and Demand TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT CONDOS are smaller, owner -occupied housing units that are a popular, and often more affordable, alternative to a typical single-family home. Condos come in many forms including larger, multi -story buildings or in attached style housing. Townhomes are an example of a form of condo ownership type that are categorized as a smaller attached home that can exist in blocks of 2 or more units. Townhomes mostly fall under ownership as a condo but can also be found in rentable units. They can be a substitute for a starter home and are found both in traditional downtown neighborhoods as well as new developments nationwide. Although each have their respective differences, townhomes and condos can often meet the housing needs of young families and elderly people who might be interested in a smaller space at a more affordable price. Monticello has a larger inventory of condo and townhomes than its peers and performs better than average nationwide in number owner -occupied 1 -unit detached and condo developments as a percentage of total housing units. However, the near zero vacancy rate for owner -occupied units combined with an increasingly unaffordable single- family home and rental market suggest that there is a great need to supply more affordable owner - occupied housing options like townhomes and condos. Costs are rising. Interest rates are high, and inflation has pushed construction costs up. Since January 2023, construction material cost is up 11.3% and labor cost is up 2.9% for the national average according to CoreLogic, which monitors a wide variety of construction materials and labor for the building industry. Many projects originally set for 2021 were delayed because of construction costs and funding drying up. Developers are looking for federal and municipal support to finance projects. Currently, in order to receive financing from lenders, condos must have sold units ( i.e. 50% condos sold = 50% loan). This hampers development where there simply isn't the capital stack available. Developers are fearing legal liabilities from owners' associations. According to the MinnPost, until recently, condo developers were vulnerable to lawsuits from owners' associations who sue for poor construction. Apartment developers are not liable for construction issues. Recent developments include the Carlisle Village 6th addition which became active as of 2021 offering townhomes smaller than 2,000 sq. ft. at roughly a $300,000 price range. Stoney Brook Village Development was recently proposed and approved offering townhomes for $400,000. While these units tend to be less expensive than single-family detached homes in Monticello, they still fall out of reach for the median household earning $84,444. Barriers and strategies for improving the affordability of townhomes and condos are explored below. Stoney Brook Village Twinhome Development Source: Mark Elliot Homes Purchasers of condos have limited access to a mortgage. Unless 80% of condos or more are sold in the development, would be buyers are not able to receive a mortgage, a Wisconsin State Journal article reported. Without a guarantee that units will sell, developers hold off. Demand for apartments outweighs condos and townhome. With unaffordable options for condos, townhomes, and single-family homes, people are substituting into apartment units which drives up more demand for rental units. Due to this high demand, lenders are more than comfortable financing new rental projects, with condo and townhome projects falling to the wayside. Restrictive zoning. Rules and development standards can block condo and townhome development from being economically viable for developers Local Impacts 97 98 SOLUTIONS Adjust zoning code to allow for more condo development. The City should consider reducing minimum lot size for condo and townhome units which sit at 5,500-7,000 sq. ft. depending on unit type. Zoning districts should be evaluated for where condo and townhome development are allowed. Promote change in law that gives condo developers greater protection from lawsuits. This law has decreased the risk that condo developers take on and can encourage new development to take place. Support condo and townhome purchasers with greater access to mortgages. Public- private partnerships can alleviate the burden of financing the purchase of a condo or townhome by offering mortgage programs for zero -interest or incentives for first time buyers. Provide more routes to financing for condo developers. Collaboration between developers, government, and finance sector can bring about additional paths to capital for developments. City of Monticello The Grove Townhomes Source: St. Pete Rising St. Pete, FL recently approved three affordable townhome projects which in completion will offer 64 homeownership opportunities to residents. Lot sizes average 2,500 sq. ft. per unit. In a partnership between the City and Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas and West Paco Counties, these projects utilize multiple programs designed to incentivize and reduce costs for developers. Units will be offered in a range of $219,000 to $279,000 meets affordability limits of 80% AMI (area median income) and above buyers. Additionally, Habitat will offer 30 -year, 0% interest mortgages on the 64 townhomes. Housing Needs and Demand ZONING MONTICELLO'S ZONING ORDINANCE is written to have 6 main residential districts. Counting permitted (by -right) uses, this includes 3 low-density single-family only districts, 1 medium density single- family only district, 1 single -fa mily/townhome district, and 1 town home/multi-family district. As the City looks to update future land uses and development patterns, it may be beneficial to continue to proactively anticipate development in certain districts that promotes mixes of unit types, sizes, and structures within subdivision development and platting to offer increased access to residents. Other considerations may include revisions to districts that allow more "missing middle" housing (3+ unit) housing by -right in certain districts, to save on developer holding costs that increase the price of housing. 99 P = Permitted Use; C = Conditional Use *Allowed as Permitted Use in Broadway and General CCD subarea in certain situations ** Lot averaging can be utilized in subdivision development Data not updated in 2U23 Housing Study Minimum Residential - Accessory Size Dwelling AO 2 acre 200' P P/C RA 14,000 sq. ft. ** 90' ** P P/C R1 10,000 sq. ft. ** 70' ** P/C R2 10,000 sq. ft.

Good zoning creates guidelines for this development while maintaining flexibility balanced with community health and aesthetically pleasing design. Overall, the many districts in the City offer a range of development opportunities for a wide variety of housing types. There is likely opportunity to continue to thoughtfully integrate attached -units or small multi -unit structures into some low density residential districts by allowing them as permitted uses, as well as to slowly increase density (and affordability) through further lot size reductions (or lowering averages below the base to allow a more natural range of housing choices). One structure that is not explicitly listed in the ordinance as an accessory use type are Accessory Dwelling Units. These unit options may want to be called out as they are in the general provisions, providing guidance in development.

Our approach in the following pages includes both a low estimate and a high estimate for new households, with the expectation that the actual growth of households and units will be somewhere between those estimates. One important variable is the tenure type split, meaning the distribution between rental and ownership in new unit production. The City has recently been at about 70% owner occupancy and 30% rental occupancy, and the level of owner occupancy has dropped a few points as compared to 3 years earlier. We would expect to see this based on the production of more rental units (including some units that could be owner -occupied, such as townhomes). This study is not establishing what the City wants in new unit production, but instead is an attempt to project what the market is most likely to provide. Based on recent permit history in Monticello and a shift toward more rental housing in much of the country, we are projecting and assuming a 50/50 split between owner and rental housing in the next few years. If the City takes actions to incentivize new owner occupant units, and/or declines to provide incentives for new rental units, it could influence the tenure split outcome. The rental demand projections suggest that the market requires few or no new rental units before 2028, at least beyond those already built and those with zoning approvals, due to the recent strong production of units. In the low estimate for household growth the City will have more units than it needs. In the higher estimate there is demand for a modest 211 units after all approved units are built. However, it is important to recognize that none of the new units recently constructed are targeted to lower income residents. Meanwhile our projections highlight the demand for units affordable to housheholds below the median household income. There is, we believe, still unmet demand for income -qualified units even if (or because) there are new high-end units on the market. Unit Demand & Recommendations 104 OWNER DEMAND -LOW ESTIMATE Growth projections for the City of Monticello indicate that current household growth rates will continue - and may have the potential to increase. More commuters are looking to call Monticello home. More area residents would like more options in the housing market. This demand analysis identifies a need to increase the number of ownership units in the City - creating more opportunity for ownership that can serve residents and newcomers alike. There are two pages of demand analysis per housing tenure type (ownership and rental) - this is done to illustrate the range of potential growth that the City may undergo. In general, low estimates are based on 1.7% household growth, and high estimates are based upon 2.9% household growth. Some assumptions in each are the same - such as the need to bring vacancy back to healthy levels, and decrease the rapid speed of cost increases on housing. Other estimates differ based on current best projections. Final unit estimates are broken down by total projection of unit need from 2020 to 2028, projected unit need subtracting out permitted units (units constructed or under construction), and projected unit need subtracting out permitted units and units with land use and land division approval (anticipated units). The low estimate should be used as a baseline - a minimum threshold for unit construction, not just plats.

Community feedback through this process indicated the desire that there be multiple areas under different stages of development at the same time, so that buyers who want to move to the City have areas to choose in where to call home. This estimate would likely require multiple active subdivisions in order to have the demand met and fully constructed by 2028. Development interest and demand drive the housing market. Due to lending requirements and market analyses needed for large-scale developer investment, if there is developer interest, there is also likely demand.

Moderate -income residents who previously would have been able to afford homeownership are now finding themselves being outpriced in an appreciating and competitive market. There are areas of the core city with low home values and low improvement ratios. And the average days on market is well below one month, indicating an unhealthy market. CONTINUE TO PLAT AND SERVICE NEW SUBDIVISIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS While construction activity has been ongoing, residents and prospective residents have indicated a need for more choices within the market. In order to meet the housing construction demand outlined above, it will likely require multiple subdivisions in various stages of build -out at any given point. The City should Continue to work with developers who are bringing forward housing - at all price ranges - to serve needs of the community. PARTNER WITH DEVELOPERS TO DELIVER A MIX OF HOUSING OPTIONS While small -lot and large -lot new development is a need, so are unit -type mixes within new subdivision development. Integrating a mix of housing types (attached/detached, 4-19 unit rental, etc.) within subdivision plans allows more choices and options in the housing market - ensuring that households of all income can call new development home. This can work to encourage more natural community character, and help preserve the neighborhood and small-town feel of the community through personal connection. THERE IS A MARKET FOR "LUXURY" HOUSING - BUT THE MARKET IS LIMITED There are households in Monticello who can afford $450,000+ new construction homes. We have heard through this process that large - lot availability and acreage are reasons those seeking higher -cost homes choose to live in the region. While there are certainly opportunities for development in this price range, sales would likely be targeted to residents from the larger region - where incomes are higher and households have more choice in this competitive market sector. ASSESS REQUIREMENTS, MINIMUM LOT SIZES, AND AVERAGED MINIMUMS The City has the ability to review parking requirements, minimum lot sizes, and averaged minimums to further bring down new ownership costs that can help maintain Monticello's affordability. Both small -lot and large -lot units have been identified as needs. The City should actively work to ensure developers take advantage of lot - averaging that can offer a full scope of options for potential homeowners in new development. This step toward continued affordability will provide options for both existing and prospective residents. ACTIVELY PROMOTE REPAIR ASSISTANCE FROM MHFA, USDA, AND WCCA Wright County Community Action (WCCA) provides assistance in homebuyer training, rehabilitation, and other housing -financing issues that can prove a stumbling block to lower- income owners. WCCA is also prepared to assist homeowners in securing financing through the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) and USDA Rural Development, and can guide owners through complicated processes to improve their homes. KEEP IN MIND AGING HOMEOWNERS The large share of senior persons projected through 2050 is a national trend - and households will need continued options. Whether promoting accessibility programs to retrofit homes to age - in -place, developing zoning flexibility to develop Accessory Dwelling Units for caretakers, or tracking the need for continued senior -living options in the community, this demographic represents a large share of specialized housing need moving toward 2050. MAINTAIN DEVELOPMENT FEES, BE HELPFUL A comparison of development fees among Monticello and its peers for ownerships and rental development examples shows that Monticello has a comparable level of fees to several peer communities. These fees are based on real costs and the City should not be apologetic nor should the fee be reduced (unless as part of an incentive package to encourage new units accessible below the median household income). The City SHOULD be proactive and helpful throughout the development process, making every reasonable effort to make the approval process understandable and predictable for developers. Unit Demand & Recommendations 107 108 RENTAL DEMAND - LOW ESTIMATE Within the rental market, projections are based on projected household growth, current rates of household tenure for demographics likely to be seeking rental housing, and then focused based on rates of affordability to current residents who rent within the housing market. Final unit estimates are broken down by total projection of unit need from 2020 to 2028, projected unit need subtracting out permitted units (units constructed or under construction), and projected unit need subtracting out permitted units and units with land use and land division approval (anticipated units). This demand analysis indicates a shift from ownership to renter markets, consistent with changes in rates of tenure over the past decade. Demand -driven outcomes in recent years have led to a higher percentage of rental units created compared to ownership units than an average year. The low estimate for rental housing needed after subtracting out permitted and approved units indicates that the demand estimate is close to being met though this should be used as a baseline and not used as justification to preclude development.

This suggests continued demand for development types that have been coming forward in the City, and planning for the trend to continue will allow the City to identify sites and areas through downtown and key corridors. The City can balance market demand for more rental housing with small town character through smart siting and design regulations. This estimate of demand may come to be met if growth pressures increase further than current projections indicate, and developments should be considered based on their own merits and demonstrated need on an annual basis.

Higher -income households can afford more within the market, meaning that there are more options that would be within their spending limit, whether they spend 10% or 30% of their income toward housing cost. Lower-income households have fewer choices in the market due to similar fixed -costs, but less units that generally rent at a level that would fall within a comfortable limit. In addition to having less units available, they sometimes directly compete with higher -income households who are "spending -down" in the market, occupying housing units that are especially affordable. The Affordable Housing rental production numbers outlined above are based on resident incomes by tenure - that is the percent of renter households who rent at each income level, before deciding to transition to the ownership market. Affordable Housing targets for these recommendations are units priced at an affordability level of 30% - 50% of the area median income for the 13 -county metro. This is used to maintain consistency with common funding categories, and are adjusted to match household and bedroom size. Fifty percent of all Monticello renter households fall into this affordability range. Mid -Level housing indicates prices that would be affordable to a household earning between 50% and 80% of the median income for the 13 -county metro. They are adjusted to match household/ family size, and represent consistency with MHFA and HUD guidelines. Fourty percent of all Monticello renter households are within this affordability range. Ideal Monthly $656 $703 $749 $843 $937 Affordable Rent Housing Maximum Monthly $1,093 $1,171 $1,249 $1,405 $1,561 Rent Mid -Level housing indicates prices that would be affordable to a household earning between 50% and 80% of the median income for the 13 -county metro. They are adjusted to match household/ family size, and represent consistency with MHFA and HUD guidelines. Fourty percent of all Monticello renter households are within this affordability range. High Market Housing is the last category for recommended cost of new units - and does not have an upper maximum. While households do rent within this category, there is a transition to homeownership that is consistent with both increasing incomes and geographic location of the City. Data and community input indicate that households tend to move to Monticello for affordability and accessibility, and the same holds true for high-income earners. There is a larger share of housing that is more affordable to these households than in the larger metro, even for households currently living in the City that could move if they choose. Unit Demand & Recommendations Ideal Monthly $1,093 $1,171 $1,249 $1,405 $1,561 Mid -Level Rent Housing Maximum Monthly $1,749 $1,874 $1,998 $2,248 $2,498 Rent High Market Housing is the last category for recommended cost of new units - and does not have an upper maximum.

Due to a large share of older rental housing stock, there are more affordable options than in other areas of the Metro. However, incomes of many local residents are also below high - market housing cost. Employers are seeing that their growth and employment base needs a middle - ground in the rental market that offers both amenities and reduced unit pricing. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR TAX CREDIT & SUBSIDIZED DEVELOPMENT Though referred to as "affordable housing", tax credit developments offer new construction at rents that fit within the limits and demand of the community. Local employers are reporting that their workers need a middle -option, often fitting inside income categories for these units. These developments that offer opportunity to increase density in key areas, and can also be utilized for mixed-use developments that provide amenities in central, walkable areas. The City can also directly encourage more affordable rental costs through programs such as Tax Increment Financing. THERE IS A MARKET FOR "LUXURY" HOUSING - BUT THE MARKET IS LIMITED Some households with the financial means to purchase a home still prefer to rent for various reasons, and these renters will pay for increased amenities. The market has responded with plenty of new, market -rate units in the past few years, including some in the "luxury" category. Demand for even more such units will grow with population, but there is not a backlog of unmet demand for such units apparent in the current market. CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON UNIVERSAL DESIGN IN CENTRAL AREAS As households continue to age, and many wanting to age in the community, providing a range of options that have accessibility features and follow universal design will promote healthy neighborhoods. This is needed throughout the City, as well as in key walkable central areas that increase access to amenities. Many homeowners who downsize, as well as those with differing levels of ability, live in private market units and prefer walkable areas with access to amenities. ENCOURAGE REHABILITATION, REDEVELOPMENT, AND REINVESTMENT Maintaining housing affordability across a range of incomes is vital for community health - and is one of the reasons that some households choose to live in Monticello in the first place. However, aging housing stock requires upkeep in order to maintain desirability. Many rehabilitation programs offer deferred -loan assistance to landlords of small properties (such as MHFA's Rural Rehabilitation Deferred Loan program). These incentivized loans often come with income restrictions. Though not an immediate solution, increased investment in new unit development in key areas (e.g. downtown), and new unit development in general can work to relax vacancy in the market, allowing households to select units that meet their balance of affordability & amenity - and structures with rehab needs will require maintenance investment to maintain market share. MAINTAIN A MIX OF BEDROOM SIZES IN NEW DEVELOPMENT Preference towards larger unit size is evident in both ownership and rental developments. Important to this growth is ensuring households have access to a variety of both new and older stock options that meet their need for family size - and perhaps for home offices as telecommuting becomes more common. In practice, this means incorporating 3 -bedroom units as a significant portion of the rental market, whether in townhome, detached, or multi -unit construction. Encouraging larger unit construction balanced with small unit construction ensures needs of all household types are served through new units. ENCOURAGE MISSING MIDDLE HOUSING Structures with 2-19 units fill a gap that exists in the market, providing more options for residents, and reduced construction costs for development compared to single -unit detached structures. Unit design fits well among both existing and new structures, and will fill in missing unit types. Unit Demand & Recommendations 113 114 AGING HOUSEHOLDS Senior households live in homes in both the rental and ownership markets, but as they continue to age, many need more specialized care or prefer alternate options. Nationally, HUD reports that 93% of medicare -enrollees age 65 and older are already aging in place. This vast majority of the market is remaining in their current housing - staying in non -age restricted housing until life events necessitate a move. Once households do move, many rental options offer combinations of active living, independent living, assisted living, and memory care within the same campus. Within the market, there are several options to help older households find options that work for them: Ensuring a Variety of Options in the Private Market Easing access to Accessory Dwelling Unit construction, whether internal or external to the existing primary residence, helps aging households remain in their home. Some older households design the unit with accessibility standards in mind and look to downsize into it themselves, while other households plan on it as a space for family or a caretaker who can assist them with daily tasks. Ensuring there is access to or developing non -age restricted smaller apartments in more central locations is another method of ensuring older household options in the market. This allows households to live in new construction that has a mix of access and privacy, while still having friends and other households close by. One more option is small lot size development, either in central areas or cottage court communities. These allow both rental and ownership options as households continue to age - as long as the housing is built with aging and universal design in mind (such as patio homes). Active Adult Housing Active Adult Communities are specially -designed developments with accommodations for aging households in mind. They provide upkeep -free housing, easing maintenance burden. They also often provide a sense of community for others who prefer neighbors their own age, as opposed to smaller and accessible unit options in market rentals. And, they can offer a variety of tenure choices, with many allowing residents to own or lease their housing. Independent Living Independent Living is designed for households who can - and want to - accomplish the majority of daily tasks on their own, but need assistance from time to time. These facilities often are inclusive of food and medical care, as well as other potential on-site amenities such as cleaning, laundry, and general housekeeping. These housing units are operated most similarly to a rental unit - and as amenities go above and beyond typical housing cost, are not subject to the typical 30% affordability standard. Assisted Living Assisted Living is designed to make it easy for residents who need assistance with everyday activities in accomplishing tasks that they would not be able to do in their own homes. This is often provided through scheduled, regular support that runs a spectrum from cooking and cleaning to in -unit medical visits, transportation, and medication management. City of Monticello Housing Needs and Demand SENIOR UNIT TYPE DEMAND Active Adult Housing 115 Demand for market rate, active living senior housing comes from those household that prefer this type of unit and can afford it, either because they have sufficient current income or because they have sufficient savings, most often in the form of home sale equity. All households in this demand category, both current and projected, have at least one household member above the age of 55. Many active adult housing communities are age -restricted and become available once a household member reaches the limit (typically 55), while other are not restricted - solely marketing themselves as active adult communities to ensure inclusivity. Total unit need is broken down into two estimates including total estimated need for current demand and demand by 2028 (not including units that already exist within the market) and total unit need subtracting out permitted units (units constructed or under construction since 2020) and units with land use and land division approval (anticipated units). Market- Active Adult Demand 2023 2023 Number of Households with Qualifying Incomes 2028 Number of Households with Qualifying Incomes 418 562 613 Potentially Qualifying Households with Home Sale Equity 145 15% 147 Base Demand 563 New City Resident Demand 760 Unit Type Preference 7% 110 units 7% Existing City Resident Demand 39 53 New City Resident Demand 26 35 Total Unit Need jW 65 units 88 units Total Unit Need minus Recent Permitted Units & Approved Units 52 units Subsidized Independent Living Subsidized independent living refers to income -restricted independent living developments. This offers opportunity for income -limited and fixed-income households to have access to those services they require as they continue to age. Demand is calculated by measure of fixed- and income -restricted households without the potential for home sale equity. This is then adjusted to the average percentage of households who prefer or need to live in this style housing in 55+ age categories. ITotal unit need is broken down into two estimates including total estimated need for current demand and demand by 2028 (not including units that already exist within the market) and total unit need subtracting out permitted units (units constructed or under construction since 2020) and units with land use and land division approval (anticipated units). Subsidized Independent Living Demand 2023 2028 Number of Households with Qualifying Incomes 562 617 Base Demand 562 617 Unit Type Preference 15% 15% Existing City Resident Demand 84 93 New City Resident Demand 25 28 Total Unit Need 110 units 120 units Total Unit Need minus Recent Permitted Units & Approved Units 55 units Unit Demand & Recommendations 116 SENIOR UNIT TYPE DEMAND Market Rate Independent Living Market Rate independent living refers to non -income restricted independent living developments. This offers opportunity for higher -income senior households and those with potential home sale equity to have access to required services as they continue to age. Total unit need is broken down into two estimates including total estimated need for current demand and demand by 2028 (not including units that already exist within the market) and total unit need subtracting out permitted units (units constructed or under construction since 2020) and units with land use and land division approval (anticipated units).

Demand is calculated by measure of income - qualified households, as well as potentially qualifying household with access to home sale equity. This is then adjusted based on the local number of single -person senior households in Monticello, and filtered by the estimated percent of households who can continue in-home care as opposed to assisted living. Total unit need is broken down into two estimates including total estimated need for current demand and demand by 2028 (not including units that already exist within the market) and total unit need subtracting out permitted units (units constructed or under construction since 2020) and units with land use and land division approval (anticipated units).

Especially for 55+ 7/15/2020 8:05 AM Homes in Monticello are not on the market for long. At least not the ones I've previously 7/14/2020 4:56 PM looked at/been interested in. Already see a lot of lower income housing, but there is a potential for Monticello to grow the 7/9/2020 5:54 PM city with more higher income housing due to increased Teleworking projected for the future like the southern metro areas or maple grove area, but still marketing and retaining the values of a small town area where everything is safe, clean and friendly. The housing I'm looking for (as I will be moving out of my parents house hopefully soon), is an 7/9/2020 4:24 PM old farmhouse on a couple acres. There is nowhere in Monticello that has big lots (like 5 acres) where you could build a step up 7/4/2020 11:59 AM living house. This is what we are looking for and are more than likely going to move to find it. Monticello doesn't offer many higher income housing neighborhoods with lacre lots. My 7/2/2020 4:49 PM parents have been wanting to move to Monticello for the past 10 years but the options are limited. They want a rambler ($350,000) without living on top of their neighbors. There's an ample supply of starter homes and way too many split entry homes, but a limited 7/2/2020 11:59 AM supply in the next level (I'm currently looking and have realized I will most likely have to leave Monticello because I'm looking for a neighborhood with no split entry homes). Prices have gone up since I purchased my home 7/2/2020 1:59 AM There are too many townhomes, apartments being built. There is not enough executive level 7/1/2020 6:16 PM houses available! way too many rental properties!!!!!! from single family homes being made into multiple 7/1/2020 6:09 PM dwellings, apartment complexes that are OLD and DATED and not kept up. awful!!!!

I think there are a lack of 100+ year old farmhouses in the area and with more being torn down 7/9/2020 4:24 PM every year it makes even less farmhouses available for purchase. Taxes have gotten out of hand. Million dollar ball fields, Tax man comes around every single 7/8/2020 12:02 PM year, to see if we did anything, and then increases property taxes . despite laws that state should come every 7 years. ** with schools closed all these months, should we not get a tax break? ** do we really want to bring in lower housing, which brings in crime? *** does Monticello really want to lose the small town feel?

If it gets 6/30/2020 4:58 PM bigger, it will lose that appeal and we will likely move to another smaller community.

Monticello is perfectly situated to allow larger 1-5 Acre Homesites.

Development Manager City of Monticello 505 Walnut Street Monticello, MN 55362 Re: 2023 Housing Study Update Dear Jim, 1702 Pankratz St. Madison, VVI 53704 P: (608) 242-7779 TF: (800) 446-0679 Thank you for the invitation to consider again housing market conditions in Monticello. As we've discussed, the local market is lively. You have multiple large-scale multifamily developments approved and interest from other developers for even more. Meanwhile, single family ownership housing continues to lag. An updated study is desired to consider the impact of the recent and pending construction and estimate the City's capacity for more units of all types. With this information the City can decide how best to promote development opportunities and guide the speed of development and phasing at Monticello Lakes. Our proposal, in brief, is to update and augment the 2020 study with more current data, to understand recent market dynamics and revise demand projections for the next 5 years. Our intent is to collect critical data, including fresh interviews of local housing experts and then to update the majority of the sections in the plan. The attached scope describes which sections we propose to update (and a few which don't likely need an update at this time). Also included are a few optional tasks that you requested. These are identified in parentheses in the scope and as specific add-on costs in the contract. We estimate a cost of $21,200 for this update, plus any of the additional tasks. Please contact me with any questions you may have about this proposal. Sincerely, MSA Professional Services, Inc.

(MSA) GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICES (PUBLIC) 1. Scope and Fee. The scope of Owner's Project (the "Project"), scope of MSA's services (the "Work"), and quoted fees for those services are defined in Attachment A. The scope and fee constitute a good faith estimate of the tasks and associated fees required to perform the services defined in Attachment A. This agreement upon execution by both parties hereto, can be amended only by written instrument signed by both parties. For those projects involving conceptual or process development service or involve renovation of an existing building or structure, activities often cannot be fully defined during initial planning. As the Project progresses, facts uncovered may reveal a change in direction which may alter the Work. MSA will promptly inform the OWNER in writing of such situations so that changes in this agreement can be made as required. 2. Owner's Responsibilities. (a) Proiect Scope and Budget The OWNER shall define the scope and budget of the Project and, when applicable, periodically update the Project budget, including that portion allocated for the cost of the Work. The Project budget shall include contingencies for design, development, and, when required by the scope of the Project, construction of the Project. The OWNER shall not significantly increase or decrease the overall Project scope or schedule, the portion of the budget allocated for the cost of the Work, or contingencies included in the overall budget or a portion of the budget, without the agreement of MSA to a corresponding change in the Project scope, quality, schedule, and compensation of MSA. (b) Designated Owner Representative The OWNER shall identify a Designated Representative who shall be authorized to act on behalf of the OWNER with respect to the Project. OWNER's Designated Representative shall render related decisions in a timely manner so as to avoid unreasonable delay in the orderly and sequential progress of MSA's services. MSA shall not be liable for any error or omission made by OWNER, OWNER's Designated Representative, or OWNER's consultant. (c) Tests, Inspections, and Reports When required by the scope of the Project, the OWNER shall furnish tests, inspections, and reports required by law or the Contract Documents, such as planning studies; preliminary designs; structural, mechanical, or chemical tests; tests for air, water, or soil pollution; and tests for hazardous materials. (d) Additional Consultants MSA's consultants shall be identified in Attachment A. The OWNER shall furnish the services of other consultants other than those designated in Attachment 1, including such legal, financial, accounting, and insurance counseling services as may be required for the Project. (e) OWNER Provided Services and Information MSA shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness of services and information furnished by the OWNER, Designated OWNER Representative, or Consultant. MSA shall use reasonable efforts to provide prompt written notice to the OWNER if MSA becomes aware of any errors, omissions, or inconsistencies in such services or information. 3. Billing. MSA will bill the OWNER monthly with net payment due upon receipt. Balances due past thirty (30) days shall be subject to an interest charge at a rate of 12% per year from said thirtieth day. In addition, MSA may, after giving seven days written notice, suspend service under any agreement until the OWNER has paid in full all amounts due for services rendered and expenses incurred, including the interest charge on past due invoices. 4. Costs and Schedules. Costs (including MSA's fees and reimbursable expenses) and schedule commitments shall be subject to change for delays caused by the OWNER's failure to provide specified facilities or information or for delays caused by unpredictable occurrences including, without limitation, fires, floods, riots, strikes, unavailability of labor or materials, delays or defaults, by suppliers of materials or services, process shutdowns, pandemics, acts of God or the public enemy, or acts of regulations of any governmental agency. Temporary delays of services caused by any of the above which result in additional costs beyond those outlined may require renegotiation of this agreement. 5. Access to Site. Owner shall furnish right -of -entry on the Project site for MSA and, if the site is not owned by Owner, warrants that permission has been granted to make planned explorations pursuant to the scope of services. MSA will take reasonable precautions to minimize damage to the site from use of equipment, but has not included costs for restoration of damage that may result and shall not be responsible for such costs. Page 2 of 9 (General Terms & Conditions - Public) \\msa-ps.com\fs\Project\13\13731\13731006\Contract\Monticello Housing Study Contract 060823.docx 6. Location of Utilities. Owner shall supply MSA with the location of all pre-existent utilities and MSA has the right to reasonably rely on all Owner supplied information. In those instances where the scope of services require MSA to locate any buried utilities, MSA shall use reasonable means to identify the location of buried utilities in the areas of subsurface exploration and shall take reasonable precautions to avoid any damage to the utilities noted. However, Owner agrees to indemnify and defend MSA in the event of damage or injury arising from damage to or interference with subsurface structures or utilities which result from inaccuracies in information of instructions which have been furnished to MSA by others. 7. Professional Representative. MSA intends to serve as the OWNER's professional representative for those services as defined in this agreement, and to provide advice and consultation to the OWNER as a professional. Any opinions of probable project costs, reviews and observations, and other recommendations made by MSA for the OWNER are rendered on the basis of experience and qualifications and represents the professional judgment of MSA. However, MSA cannot and does not warrant or represent that proposals, bid or actual project or construction costs will not vary from the opinion of probable cost prepared by it. 8. Construction. When applicable to the scope of the Project, the OWNER shall contract with a licensed and qualified Contractor for implementation of construction work utilizing a construction contract based on an EJCDC construction contract and general conditions appropriate for the scope of the Project and for the delivery method. In the construction contract, the OWNER shall use reasonable commercial efforts to require the Contractor to (1) obtain Commercial General Liability Insurance with contractual liability coverage insuring the obligation of the Contractor, and name the OWNER, MSA and its employees and consultants as additionally insureds of that policy; (2) indemnify and hold harmless the OWNER, MSA and its employees and consultants from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, and expenses ("Claims"), including but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees and economic or consequential damages arising in whole or in part out of the negligent act or omission of the contractor, and Subcontractor or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them. This agreement shall not be construed as giving MSA, the responsibility or authority to direct or supervise construction means, methods, techniques, sequence, or procedures of construction selected by the contractors or subcontractors or the safety precautions and programs incident to the work, the same being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the contractors or subcontractors. 9. Standard of Care. In conducting the services, MSA will apply present professional, engineering and/or scientific judgment, which is known as the "standard of care". The standard of care is defined as that level of skill and care ordinarily exercised by members of the same profession practicing at the same point in time and in the same or similar locality under similar circumstances in performing the Services. The OWNER acknowledges that "current professional standards" shall mean the standard for professional services, measured as of the time those services are rendered, and not according to later standards, if such later standards purport to impose a higher degree of care upon MSA. MSA does not make any warranty or guarantee, expressed or implied, nor have any agreement or contract for services subject to the provisions of any uniform commercial code. Similarly, MSA will not accept those terms and conditions offered by the OWNER in its purchase order, requisition, or notice of authorization to proceed, except as set forth herein or expressly agreed to in writing. Written acknowledgement of receipt, or the actual performance of services subsequent to receipt of such purchase order, requisition, or notice of authorization to proceed is specifically deemed not to constitute acceptance of any terms or conditions contrary to those set forth herein. 10. Municipal Advisor. MSA Professional Services, Inc. is not acting as a `Municipal Advisor' to the owner pursuant to Section 15B of the Exchange Act. For financial advice related to the corresponding project, the client is encouraged to discuss their finances with internal and/or external advisors and experts before making decisions incurring debt and/or supporting those obligations. MSA desires to serve each client well by providing the best information publicly available and is providing information as part of its engineering responsibilities to inform client options. The information is not intended to provide financial advice or recommendations and is not bound by the formal Municipal Advisor fiduciary duty. 11. Conduct Expectations. Owner and MSA understand their respective obligations to provide a safe, respectful work environment for their employees. Both parties agree that harassment on the job (unwelcome verbal, physical or other behavior that is related to sex, race, age, or protected class status) will not be tolerated and will be addressed timely and in compliance with anti -harassment laws. 12. Electronic Documents and Transmittals. Owner and MSA agree to transmit and accept project related correspondence, documents, text, data, drawings and the like in digital format in accordance with MSA's Page 3 of 9 (General Terms & Conditions - Public) \\msa-ps.com\fs\Project\13\13731\13731006\Contract\Monticello Housing Study Contract 060823.docx Electronic Data Transmittal policy. Each party is responsible for its own cybersecurity, and both parties waive the right to pursue liability against the other for any damages that occur as a direct result of electronic data sharing. 13. Building Information Modelling (BIM). For any projects, and not limited to building projects, utilizing BIM, OWNER and MSA shall agree on the appropriate level of modelling required by the project, as well as the degree to which the BIM files may be made available to any party using the Electronic Document Transmittal provisions of section 10 of this Agreement. 14. Construction Site Visits. If the scope of services includes services during the Construction Phase, MSA shall make visits to the site as specified in Attachment A— Scope of Services. MSA shall not, during such visits or as a result of such observations of Contractor's work in progress, supervise, direct or have control over Contractor's work nor shall MSA have authority over or responsibility for the means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction selected by Contractor, for safety precautions and programs incident to the work of Contractor or for any failure of Contractor to comply with laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes or orders applicable to Contractor's furnishing and performing the work.

Page 9of9 (Attachment A: Project Scope) \\msa-ps.com\fs\Project\13\13731\13731006\Contract\Monticello Housing Study Contract 060823.docx EDA Agenda: 10/11/2023 4B. Consideration of Tax Abatement Policy recommendation to the City Council Prepared by: Meeting Date: ® Regular Agenda Item Economic Development Manager 10/11/2023 ❑ Consent Agenda Item Reviewed by: Approved by: Community Development City Administrator Director, Community & Economic Development Coordinator, Finance Director ACTION REQUESTED Motion to recommend the proposed Tax Abatement Policy be adopted by the City Council. PREVIOUS EDA ACTION June 14, 2023: A joint EDA and City Council meeting was held with Tammy Omdal, Northland Securities, providing an overview of the potential uses of Tax Abatement as an economic development tool along with the mechanics of how it is used by various municipalities. Directions were given to staff to formulate a Tax Abatement Policy for consideration at a future meeting. September 13, 2023: A joint EDA and City Council meeting was held reviewing the proposed Tax Abatement Policy with discussion and feedback provided to staff by City Council and EDA members. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND A joint EDA and City Council Workshop Meeting on June 14, 2023, offered a summary overview of Tax Abatement's use to enhance the City's economic development efforts. At the workshop, staff were directed to draft a Tax Abatement Policy for consideration by the EDA and City Council. In essence, Tax Abatement is similar to Tax Increment Financing (TIF) though it is more flexible in that it may be used to support a wider variety of development projects, and at the same time less complex. It is also a less financially powerful tool. A key aspect of Tax Abatement is each local government jurisdiction, i.e., the School District, County and City, has independent authority to determine if it is willing to authorize a Tax Abatement (through a Tax Abatement Funding Assistance Agreement) and likewise each can also determine, or customize, the amount of Tax Abatement for a specific applicant proposal. The Draft Tax Abatement Policy attached to this report was reviewed at the September 3, 2023, joint EDA, and City Council meeting. Among other guidance language, the Policy denotes the EDA Agenda: 10/11/2023 specific areas of public interest as required by State Statute, for granting a Tax Abatement. The eligible uses of Tax Abatement are listed below: ✓ Retain or create jobs that offer stable employment or living wages and benefits, ✓ Enhance or diversify the City's economy based on a demonstrated need; ✓ Provide transportation or public infrastructure improvements; ✓ Remove blight and/or encourage high quality redevelopment of commercial and industrial areas through private investment; ✓ Provide affordable housing; ✓ Improve the quality of life of City residents by providing a desirable good or service. The Policy also notes the ineligible uses of Tax Abatement under "Ineligible Projects" and spells out the "Developer Requirements", both in Section 2.0. Budget Impact: The budget impact related to the preparation, review and adoption of a Tax Abatement Policy is projected to be approximately $2,130. Future budget impacts, which would be borne by the City rather than the EDA, are project specific and dependent. II. Staff Workload Impact: City staff workload related to the final review and recommendation of the proposed Tax Abatement Policy consisted of communication with the EDA attorney and review and preparation of the Draft Tax Abatement Policy and EDA meeting staff report. Staff involved in the effort included the City Administrator, Finance Director, Community Development Director, Community & Economic Development Coordinator, and the Economic Development Manager. III. Comprehensive Plan Impact: The Vision adopted as part of the Monticello 2040 Vision + Plan outlines a wide range of Economic Development Goals. In order to accomplish this wide-ranging set of goals, it is critical for the City to consider using the available economic development tools that are authorized through State statutes. STAFF RECOMMENDATION City staff is asking the EDA to approve a recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached Tax Abatement Policy. Tax Abatement is a City authorized economic development tool (EDAs are not allowed to use Tax Abatement). If the Tax Abatement Policy is ultimately approved by the City Council, the economic development options available to City officials will be broadened through approval of the Policy. Under the Policy, the EDA's role is spelled out as a review and recommendation body prior to City Council consideration of specific Tax Abatement application proposals. SUPPORTING DATA A. DRAFT Tax Abatement Policy EDA Agenda: 10/11/2023 B. Northland Securities PowerPoint Slide —Overview of Tax Abatement (06-14-23 Workshop) CITY OF City Policy and "1 1 eRo Procedure SECTION: FINANCE NO: FIN - REFERENCE: Date: Next Review Date: TITLE: TAX ABATEMENT POLICY 1.0 Purpose Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.1812 through 469.1815, as amended (the "Abatement Act"), provides the City of Monticello, Minnesota (the "City") with the authority to grant tax abatements in certain instances. The City intends to provide tax abatement assistance ("Abatement") to: • Encourage desirable development or redevelopment in the City (each, a "Project") that would not occur but for the Abatement. • Leverage Abatement and other public dollars to maximize private sector investment in the City. 2.0 Policy Project Requirements To grant an Abatement for a Project, the City must find that (1) the benefits of the Project to the City will be equal to or greater than the cost of the Abatement; (2) the Project would not be feasible but -for the granting of the Abatement; (3) the Project is in conformity with the City's Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Plan and Zoning Ordinances and the Abatement Act; and (4) the Project will serve the public interests of the City because it will: • Retain or create jobs that offer stable employment or living wages and benefits, • Enhance or diversify the City's economy based on a demonstrated need; • Provide transportation or public infrastructure improvements; • Remove blight and/or encourage high quality redevelopment of commercial and industrial areas through private investment; • Provide affordable housing; • Improve the quality of life of City residents by providing a desirable good or service. Ineligible Projects The City will not grant an Abatement for Projects where: • The sole public benefit of the Project is the preservation or increase of the City's tax base. • The Project is purely speculative (the Developer must demonstrate a market demand for the Project). • The Abatement would create an unfair and significant competitive financial advantage over other developments in the area. • The Project would place extraordinary demands on City services or would generate significant negative environmental impacts. Developer Requirements For the City to grant an Abatement for a Project, the developer of the Project (the "Developer") must: • Invest a reasonable amount of cash equity into the Project, as determined by the City. • Provide financial guarantees to ensure completion of the Project to the satisfaction of the City, including, but not limited to, letters of credit, personal guarantees, etc., unless an exception is granted by the City. • Demonstrate, to the City's sole satisfaction, an ability to complete the Project based on, among other things, past development experience and credit history, among other factors including the size and scope of the proposed project. • Demonstrate the benefits to the City, specifically how the Project meets the Project Requirements of this policy. • Provide any market, financial, environmental, or other data as the City or its consultants may reasonably request to analyze the Project and the need for the Abatement. • The Developer shall comply in all respects with the City's Business Subsidy Criteria and comply with all the Minnesota Statutes, Section 116.1.993 through 116.1.995 (the "Business Subsidy Act"), if applicable. • The Developer shall be responsible for the payment of all costs of the City's consultants relating to the abatement, including but not limited to the fees of the City's municipal advisor and attorney. Abatement Funds Amount: The length and amount of the Abatement will be based on the Abatement Act and a specific Project's need as determined by the City. Source: The Abatement shall be garnered from City property taxes collected from the added tax base of the Project. Property taxes collected from the base value of the land or any current structures on the property will not be abated as part of any assistance granted under this Policy. Uses: When applicable, Abatement funds shall be prioritized in use to finance public improvements and City -supported design elements associated with the Project. Abatement funds may also be used to finance: • Legal, administrative, and engineering costs; • Site preparation, site improvement, land purchase*, demolition, and environmental remediation; and • Capitalized interest and bonding costs, if applicable. *Abatement shall not be provided to reimburse land purchases in excess of a property's fair market value. An appraisal by a third party, agreed upon by the City and Developer and paid for with Developer's escrow, will determine the fair market value of a property. MN 190\101 \900566.v3 Payments: Approved Abatements shall be provided to the Developer upon receipt of the Abatement by the City, otherwise referred to as the pay-as-you-go method. Abatement Approval Process: 1. Developer submits the completed application along with a nonrefundable initial application fee and escrow as established in the City's adopted ordinance for fee schedule. City staff reviews the application and completes the Application Review Worksheet (the "Worksheet"). 2. The Worksheet is submitted to City's Economic Development Authority (the "EDA") who reviews the Project and provides a recommendation on whether or not to grant the Abatement. 3. The Worksheet and the EDA's recommendation are submitted to the City Council for review. If preliminary approval of the Abatement is granted, the applicant submits the final application fee and escrow as established in the City's adopted ordinance for fee schedule. 4. If preliminary approval is granted, City staff works with its consultants to prepare the documents necessary to approve the Abatement, including but not limited to a tax abatement assistance agreement between the City and the Developer including a business subsidy agreement, if required by the Business Subsidy Act (the "Development Agreement"). 5. Public hearing notice(s) are published. 6. Public hearing(s) on the Abatement and, if necessary, the granting of a business subsidy as required by the Business Subsidy Act, are held. Please note that the City will not hold a public hearing on the Abatement until the Development Agreement is in final form and has been signed by the Developer. 7. The City Council grants final approval or denial of the Abatement and the Development Agreement, including a business subsidy agreement, if applicable. The City reserves the right to approve or reject Projects on a case-by-case basis, regardless of the EDA's recommendation, taking into consideration established policies, Project criteria, and potential demand on City services weighed against the potential Project benefits. Meeting the Project and Developer requirements detailed in this Tax Abatement Policy does not guarantee that a Project will be granted an Abatement. Approval or denial of one Project is not intended to set precedent for approval or denial of another Project. Further, the City Council may deviate from this Tax Abatement Policy for Projects that supersede the objectives identified herein, for which the public benefit shall be enumerated within the official findings for the Abatement. 3.0 Scope This policy applies to all projects that apply for and may receive tax abatement assistance pursuant to the Abatement Act. 4.0 HISTORY Approval Date: Approved by: City Council Amendment Date: Approved by: Amendment Date: Approved by: MN 190\101 \900566.v3 NORTHLAND 41 PUBLIC FINANCE ■ Tax abatement acts like a simpler and less powerful version of TIF ■ City, county and school district have independent authority to grant tax abatement ■ Different from TIF and authority of city to approve capture of taxes ■ Acting alone, the city cannot generate the same amount of revenue from tax abatement as TIF NORTHLAND 42 PUBLIC FINANCE N No statutory criteria for findings for public interest ■ May use one or multiple criteria N Public interest statement is included in the approving resolution for Tax Abatement ■ Monticello approved a Tax Abatement project in 2017 (Resolution 2017-29) to help finance infrastructure improvements for Fallon overpass and associated street improvements,, not to exceed amount of $9.0 million .. ft*, NORTHLAND 43 PUBLIC FINANCE 1.

An additional 75,000 job openings are *expected to be filled in the manufacturing sector in Min- nesota through 2030: Monticello has approximately 37 man- ufacturing firms with. over 2,450 employ- ees. The impact on wages and benefits that they provide in the local economy- is significant. In aggregate, the total local, manufacturing firms' payroll is estilated to be $164,900,000 to $171,600,000 an- nually. Industrial firms contribute over 50 percent of the local property taxes supporting the City of Monticello's mu- nicipal budget. Local manufacturing firms produce products used in all aspects of life and to improve our quality of life. These products include precision machined hand tools, medical devices and parts., jet engine components, metal castings, and engine blocks for recreational vehicles. Monticello's manufacturers also make wood and laminate cabinets for commer- cial and residential uses, while another, transforms resin into plastic parts used in everyday consumer products.
