ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – January 7, 2015 14 <br /> <br />• Reduce retail space on the east side of the Spine Road by roughly half to approximately <br />2.5 acres <br />• Increase gross acreage for Town Center to approximately 17 to 18 acres <br /> <br />City Planner Streff explained that based on City Council direction on the residential <br />neighborhoods, a total number of units and maximum residential density has been estimated. <br />Staff reviewed this information in detail with the Planning Commission. Once the consultants are <br />able to provide updated maps and acreages, revised numbers will be provided to the City Council <br />and JDA. The City Council has been working diligently on TCAAP zoning for several months <br />and expects to complete the process by late February 2015. The current version of the draft <br />zoning: <br /> <br />• Allows TCAAP to develop in a density and development style that is significantly <br />different than Arden Hills south of Highway 96; <br />• Preserves the City’s values with regards to open space and high-quality development; <br />• Is consistent with feedback from the private real estate market; and <br />• Is roughly similar in terms of density and diversity of land uses as the Ryan Plan, <br />particularly given the changes in real estate economics and the loss of a major access <br />point since 2008. <br /> <br />The City Council’s meeting schedule to finalize the TCAAP zoning and begin the review period <br />for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment is as follows: <br /> <br />January 12, 2015, Special Work Session at 5:30 pm, Community Room <br />• Preliminary Plat Review (Infrastructure) <br />• Final Review Chapters 6-7 (Building Site Development Standards, Building Design <br />Standards) <br /> <br />January 20, 2015, Regular Work Session at 5:00 pm, Council Chambers <br />• JDA Approval Process <br />• Final Review Chapters 1-3 (Introduction, Components of the Code, Administration) <br />• Ramsey County Response to Draft TRC and Future Land Use Map <br /> <br />January 26, 2015, Special Work Session at 5:30 pm, Community Room <br />• Final Review Future Land Use Map <br />• Final Review Chapters 4-5 (Definitions, Permitted Uses) <br /> <br />February 2, 2015, Special Work Session at 6:30 pm, Council Chambers <br />• Final Gateway Planning Workshop o Presentation of Final Draft of TCAAP <br />Redevelopment Code (TRC) <br /> o Final Comments and Revisions <br /> <br /> <br />February 18, 2015, Special Planning Commission meeting at 6:30 pm, Council Chambers <br />• Public Hearings o TCAAP Redevelopment Code <br />o Comprehensive Plan Amendment <br /> <br />February 23, 2015, Regular Meeting at 7:00 pm, Council Chambers
