Future Land Uses Identified in City of Arden Hills 2030 Comprehensive Plan 2030 Future Land Use Description Provides for a variety of housing types and densities in close proximity, including single-family detached homes, single-attached homes, condominiums, townhomes, apartments, and senior housing options. The anticipated average density is 10.4 Mixed Residential (MR) units per acre with a minimum average density of six units per acre up to a maximum density of 46 units per acre. This land use is designated for the proposed TCAAP redevelopment, and the density is subject to change once a final land use plan is selected. Areas designated for a variety of businesses, including commercial, certain light Mixed Business (MB) industrial uses, warehousing, office, general business, retail. This designation will be used for the future business uses on the TCAAP property. In 1996 the TCAAP Framework Plan (commonly referred to as the Vento Plan) was developed by the TCAAP Reutilization Commission appointed by Congressman Bruce Vento. In 2002 the City of Arden Hills worked with a private developer on a redevelopment plan that was ultimately withdrawn due to economic infeasibility in the recession of 2008. The 1998 Rice Creek North Master Plan identified 113 acres of property to be acquired for the Rice Creek regional trail corridor. Located directly north of the AUAR study area, the property includes Rice Creek, an archaeological area, and wildlife habitat. This property was transferred to Ramsey County in 2006 by the National Park Service as part of the Federal Lands to Park Program. Ramsey County is obligated to make the site available for public recreational use, as well as preserve and protect the one acre archeological site located on the property. A trail and trail bridge has been constructed on this property. The 2003 Rice Creek North Regional Trail Master Plan Amendment and 2006 Ramsey County System Plan identified an additional 49 acres of TCAAP property to be acquired as a wildlife corridor. This property, which in the process of being acquired (by end of 2014), is located adjacent to the east edge of the AUAR study area. The wildlife corridor was considered a critical link to the 1,500 acre Arden Hills Army Training Site (AHATS). Under the 2013 Rice Creek North Regional Trail Master Plan Amendment (approved by the Metropolitan Council on August 28, 2013), an additional 60 acres is proposedto be transferred to Ramsey County Parks and Recreation for the Rice CreekNorth Regional Trail Corridor to be added to the wildlife corridor area.This area extends to County Road I and will facilitate the construction of July 2014 Final AUAR 7
