City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved: September 28, 2009 <br />5-4 <br /> <br />5.1.4 City of Arden Hills <br /> <br />The City of Arden Hills owns 6.9 acres of the former TCAAP property adjacent to <br />Highway 96 (Figure 5.2). This property was transferred to the City for use as a <br />new City Hall, which was completed in 2001. <br /> <br />Various redevelopment plans have been in progress since the early 1980s, <br />including the Vento Reuse Plan and the ,Framework Vision, and the Ryan <br />Redevelopment Plan. Redevelopment plans continue to evolve as transfer of the <br />land to the City draws closer. In 2007, the City initiated a more detailed <br />community planning process to better define how the 585 acres should be <br />redeveloped. While a final land use plan will not be approved in time for <br />inclusion in this Comprehensive Plan, approximately 49 acres will be transferred <br />to Ramsey County for a wildlife corridor connecting Rice Creek to the AHATS <br />property and 76.5 acres in the northeastern part of the property will be used for <br />an undetermined public use. <br /> <br />Once the City adopts a land use redevelopment plan, the Comprehensive Plan <br />will be amended to include any required data, including approved land uses, <br />housing densities, transportation infrastructure, traffic generation, parks, open <br />spaces, and water resource data. In preparation for that amendment, this <br />Comprehensive Plan includes the overall vision for the redevelopment area, <br />preliminary elements from the potential reuse plan, future land use designations, <br />and the next steps in the property’s redevelopment. <br /> <br />Since it is the City’s goal to fully incorporate the TCAAP property into the fabric of <br />the community, the land use, housing, parks and open space, transportation, and <br />other components of the proposed TCAAP redevelopment have been integrated <br />into their respective chapters. The overall City vision, goals, and policies of each <br />chapter apply to the entire TCAAP redevelopment. <br /> <br />The City of Arden Hills already owns 6.9 acres of the former TCAAP property <br />adjacent to Highway 96 (Figure 5.2). This property was transferred to the City for <br />use as a new City Hall, which was completed in 2001. <br /> <br />5.1.5 State of Minnesota <br /> <br />The State of Minnesota controls nearly 62 acres of the former TCAAP property in <br />the northwestern corner adjacent to County Road I and Interstate 35W. The <br />Minnesota Department of Transportation has a facility on the site, including a <br />driver licensing center.
