_________________________________________________________________________________________ <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for April 9, 2014 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2014\PC 14-001 - Zoning Code Amendment - Parks and Open Space District <br />Rezoning\Memos_14-001 <br /> <br />Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br />additional four parcels owned by the City provide open space areas, but are not formally part of <br />the City’s park system. These properties are 1750 Parkshore Drive on the southern end of Round <br />Lake; 3772 Brighton Way east of New Brighton Avenue and adjacent to Tony Schmidt Regional <br />Park; 3151 Lake Johanna Boulevard, known as the “triangle parcel” and where the City recently <br />installed a gateway sign; and 3208 Hamline Avenue North, which is a wetland parcel situated <br />between Highway 51 and Lake Josephine. <br /> <br />The remaining ten parcels are owned by the Ramsey County Parks and Recreation Department <br />and are all included in the County park system. Eight of these properties comprise the Tony <br />Schmidt Regional Park. The remaining two, the Marsden Archery Range and Rice Creek North <br />Regional Trail, are on land formerly part of the Arden Hills Army Training Site. <br /> <br />The proposed rezoning only includes land owned by the City of Arden Hills or Ramsey County. <br />The Parks and Open Space District cannot be applied to privately owned land. The spreadsheet <br />included in Attachment A lists the address, ownership, acreage, and current use for all 38 <br />parcels. <br /> <br /> <br />Consistency with the Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan <br />In September of 2009, the City Council adopted the Arden Hills 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The <br />plan outlines the community’s vision and goals, which are intended to guide the City’s policies <br />and strategies. The adopted Future Land Use Map designates a total of 65 parcels for “Park and <br />Open Space” use (Attachment C). The plan defines this land use category as “areas designated as <br />public parks.” <br /> <br />Currently, public parks and open space areas are integrated into residential or business-oriented <br />zoning districts as permitted or conditional uses. Minnesota State law mandates that local zoning <br />codes are consistent with adopted comprehensive plans. The proposed Parks and Open Space <br />District rezoning would help the City meet this requirement. Further, the rezoning will assist in <br />the implementation of goals identified in the Land Use, Parks and Recreation, and Protected <br />Resources chapters in the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />The remaining parcels designated as Parks and Open Space on the Future Land Use Map that are <br />not included in the proposed rezoning do not meet the stated purpose of the Parks and Open <br />Space District. These parcels are owned by several entities, including the City, Ramsey County, <br />the State of Minnesota, and private property owners/homeowners associations. Existing uses on <br />these properties include municipal utilities, stormwater easement ponds, private open spaces, and <br />single family homes. <br /> <br /> <br />
