ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 20, 2015 7 <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden believed that the County did not want senior housing in the Town <br />Center, which would mean it would have to be located in Neighborhood Transition. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher explained the benefits of a mix of inter- <br />generational housing on TCAAP as this would allow the City’s population to age in place without <br />having to move out of the community. She anticipated that higher density housing p roducts, such <br />as apartment complexes, would have to be located in the Town Center. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung was in favor of keeping senior housing in NT1 and NT2. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant agreed with this recommendation. <br /> <br />Chapters 4 and 5, TCAAP Redevelopment Code <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher indicated that City Council comments and <br />direction on Chapters 4 and 5 of the TCAAP zoning have been incorporated. Based on the City’s <br />schedule for approval of the TRC, this January 20th work session will be the last opportunity for <br />the City Council to review Chapters 4 and 5 prior to presentation of the full draft TRC on <br />February 2, 2015. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher noted that the key changes to Chapters 4 and 5 <br />since the last City Council review are: <br /> <br /> Addition of definitions clarifying right-of-way, property line, setbacks, and gross density. <br /> Addition of definitions for low, medium, and high density development with density <br />parameters. Density requirements will also be incorporated into Chapter 6 prior to <br />February 2. <br /> Addition of residential subzones to Table 5.1. <br /> Changes to Table 5.2 for consistency to Table 5.1. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woodburn discussed several items of concern with staff. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden indicated that she would speak with Community Development Director <br />Hutmacher further regarding her concerns. <br /> <br /> <br />2.
