ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—JANUARY 28, 2013 2 City Planner Beekman reviewed a table summarizing the comparison between the draft Maxfield analysis and the City's zoning regulations. She reviewed the definition of single family and multi-family units. She noted the biggest difference between the market analysis and the Zoning Code is the number of single family units compared with the number of multi-family units. City Administrator Klaers reiterated that this market study was preliminary in nature. He recommended that the focus of the Council's conversation be on the City's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code. I Mayor Grant stated that he was not surprised by the variances between the study and the Comprehensive Plan. He questioned if this information was discussed with the County. Community Development Director Hutmacher stated that the density and numbers were discussed with County staff. The City had some initial discussions about the County's goals in the TCAAP development to create a commercial/industrial tax base with good jobs. The County is willing to hold off on some of the residential in the short term, which is consistent with the jobs and tax base goals of the County Board. Councilmember McClung commented that he is looking forward to seeing the study in more detail, and he is not uncomfortable with where the City is with the Comp Plan going forward. Mayor Grant asked what direction staff was seeking at this time. City Planner Beekman stated that the market study was provided for informational purposes this evening and after the final analysis is provided to the City, further discussions can be held on the Master Planning Process/Comprehensive Plan. She discussed the Master Planning Process in further detail with the Council. Councilmember Holden asked for further clarification on the differences between the Master Plan that the City is currently working to complete and the Comprehensive Plan. City Planner Beekman noted the Master Plan will be more detailed than the current Comp Plan. She anticipates the Master Plan will grow out of the Comp Plan's vision for the TCAAP property. Community Development Director Hutmacher stated a fine level of specificity will need to be finalized by the Council within the Master Plan and that would need to comply with the Comprehensive Plan. Councilmember Holden questioned if there was a difference between industrial and commercial properties. Community Development Director Hutmacher stated this category included all properties that were not residential; for example, retail, office, Class I and Class II Industrial. She indicated that the market study did not greatly define how the industrial and commercial properties were to be broken down and it will have to be further reviewed by the City. Further discussion ensued regarding the direction of the Master Plan.
