City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved: September 28, 2009 <br />7-11 <br />The residential component of the TCAAP site will offer a future mix of housing that will <br />compliment Arden Hills’ current supply of predominately single-family detached housing. <br />It will provide opportunities to address the changing needs of the local population and it <br />will attract new people to the community. Combined with the City’s efforts to maintain <br />the current supply of housing, the development of the TCAAP site will continue Arden <br />Hills’ position in the marketplace as a highly desirable place to live. <br /> <br />7.6 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES <br /> <br />In order to advance the policies and ideas identified in this chapter, the following <br />implementation strategies could be used: <br />o Review City codes to consider and encourage a range of housing opportunities <br />and innovative site design. <br />o Pursue grants or other opportunities that promote the construction of affordable <br />housing. <br />o Explore the adoption of rental regulations to ensure the functionality and <br />maintenance of rental properties. <br />o Explore the adoption of an administrative fine program to deter ongoing <br />nuisance and property maintenance issues. <br />o Promote the use of high quality materials in new housing construction to <br />minimize long-term deterioration of the housing stock. <br />o Ensure safety, livability and durability of the housing stock through enforcement <br />of the Minnesota State Building Code, which includes educating property <br />owners and residents on housing and property maintenance codes. <br />o Develop regulations that prohibit the construction of housing that is not <br />compatible with the scale of the existing neighborhood. <br />o Develop standards for protecting lakes, wetlands, trees, and other open spaces <br />during redevelopments and infill projects. <br />o Establish architectural/design guidelines for new developments and <br />redevelopments. <br />o Identify programs, policies, and strategies that encourage aging in place for <br />senior citizens. <br /> <br />The above strategies should not be considered all-inclusive. New opportunities and <br />strategies should be identified to further advance the City’s housing goal and policies.
