NEW BUSINESS – 8A City of Arden Hills City Coucil Meeting for July 13, 2015 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-015 - TCAAP CPA & TRC\Memos_Reports Page 5 of 8 TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC) The TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC) establishes the development and design regulations for the TCAAP property (Attachment J). This document will implement the community’s goals and visions for the redevelopment site as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The regulations contained within the TRC are meant to promote functional and attractive development through the use of recognized community design principles. While the TRC prescribes a higher level in detail in building design and form, the code also allows property owners and developers greater flexibility in land use and development parameters. The proposed Zoning Code Amendment in Planning Case 15-015 would adopt the entirety of the TRC as the new Section 1380 in the Arden Hills Zoning Code. For all properties within the TCAAP Regulating Plan area, the standards in the TRC will supersede the regulatory requirements under the Arden Hills Zoning Code (Chapter 13), Sign Code (Chapter 12), and Subdivision Ordinance (Chapter 11). However, in certain sections of the TRC the standards within the Arden Hills City Code are adopted by reference as the standards for development within TCAAP as well. Development standards that are not specifically addressed in the TRC will still be governed by the Arden Hills City Code to the extent they are not in conflict with the TRC. Findings of Fact The Planning Commission reviewed Planning Case 15-015 at their regular meeting on July 8, 2015. Draft minutes from the meeting are included in Attachment S.
