CITY VISION <br /> On a day-to-day basis, the City provides many services that are needed to maintain a <br /> high-quality of living and contribute to the overall success of Arden Hills. This Plan is <br /> divided into fourteen chapters that address a range of topics, including land use, <br /> housing, and transportation among others. While each chapter has its own goals and <br /> policies, the chapters are not independent of each other. This Plan should be viewed <br /> as an integrated whole in order to take advantage of opportunities that may be able to <br /> advance the goals and policies from more than one chapter. <br /> The chapters, goals, and policies in this Comprehensive Plan are not presented in order <br /> of importance or priority. Each goal and policy has been identified as a tool to advance <br /> the overall City vision.
