City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 5-4 property and 76.5 acres in the northeastern part of the property will be used for an undetermined public use. Once the City adopts a land use redevelopment plan, the Comprehensive Plan will be amended to include any required data, including approved land uses, housing densities, transportation infrastructure, traffic generation, parks, open spaces, and water resource data. In preparation for that amendment, this Comprehensive Plan includes the overall vision for the redevelopment area, preliminary elements from the potential reuse plan, future land use designations, and the next steps in the property’s redevelopment. Since it is the City’s goal to fully incorporate the TCAAP property into the fabric of the community, the land use, housing, parks and open space, transportation, and other components of the proposed TCAAP redevelopment have been integrated into their respective chapters. The overall City vision, goals, and policies of each chapter apply to the entire TCAAP redevelopment. The City of Arden Hills already owns 6.9 acres of the former TCAAP property adjacent to Highway 96 (Figure 5.2). This property was transferred to the City for use as a new City Hall, which was completed in 2001. 5.1.5 State of Minnesota The State of Minnesota controls nearly 62 acres of the former TCAAP property in the northwestern corner adjacent to County Road I and Interstate 35W. The Minnesota Department of Transportation has a facility on the site, including a driver licensing center. 5.2 TCAAP Master Plan In partnership with Ramsey County, the City of Arden Hills initiated a master planning process for the 427 acre parcel purchased by the County in April 2013. Over the course of the subsequent year, the City held a series of public open houses to solicit community preferences and met with local developers and other relevant stakeholders to help inform the Master Plan. The long-term vision for the site that came out of this process emphasized the need for regional employment, a variety of housing options, well-designed and pedestrian-friendly commercial areas, and a network of parks and open spaces. The City Council approved the Master Land Use Map for the site in June 2014, and the Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) and Mitigation Plan in July 2014. Following these approvals, the City began work on the regulations and policies component of the
