AGENDA ITEMS <br /> <br />A. Discuss TCAAP Zoning <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher stated that the City Council has had several <br />discussions regarding density and the maximum number of residential units on the TCAAP site. If <br />the City Council would like to establish a maximum number of residential units, it would be <br />helpful to do so at the October 27 or November 3 work session. A decision now on the maximum <br />number of residential units will give staff time to work with legal counsel on how to implement <br />that decision in the Comprehensive Plan and/or in a separate agreement with Ramsey County. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher commented that if the City Council chooses to <br />set a maximum number of residential units, then additional tools should be utilized within the <br />Zoning Code so that the policy direction on maximum residential units can be implemented on an <br />ongoing project-by-project basis. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher reported that City staff, consultants, and the <br />City Council have had discussions with residential developers regarding the types of units desired <br />by the market. Following is a brief summary of some of the discussion points. <br /> <br /> Private developers see demand for a range of product types.
