ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JULY 13, 2015 8 the TCAAP AUAR and a summary of this study has been included in Chapter 11. Road construction and improvements to be completed in conjunction with the TCAAP redevelopment have been incorporated into the future transportation system plan. The multimodal transportation section has been updated to include the Metropolitan Council’s current consideration of extending the A-line BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) route to TCAAP. Chapter 13 summarizes the separate management plans the City has in place for water supply, sanitary sewer, and stormwater. The public facilities management plans have been updated as needed to include the recommendations from the approved AUAR. This chapter includes an overview of the proposed regional stormwater management plan for the TCAAP development. Appendix E discusses the existing and future sanitary sewer plans for the City. This appendix outlines the existing sanitary sewer system, intercommunity services, sewer volume forecast, sanitary sewer service districts, projected sewage flows, individual sewage treatment systems, infiltration/inflow, and the proposed capital improvement program to complete the sewer improvements. Appendix H in the Comprehensive Plan outlines all zoning districts within the City. In order to update the Comprehensive Plan the new zoning districts proposed in the TRC have been included in Appendix H. City Planner Streff noted that the proposed CPA will be contingent on final approval from the Metropolitan Council. In this case, the Metropolitan Council will make the final determination on the CPA, though they provide great deference to the City as long as the proposed land use change does not have a negative impact on a regional system (i.e. transportation, sanitary sewer, and regional parks). City Planner Streff explained that the City must also allow adjacent governments, affected special districts, and affected school districts up to 60 days to review the proposed amendment. This waiting period allows interested agencies to review and comment on the amendment before the Metropolitan Council review. The Metropolitan Council also has 60 days to review the CPA once the jurisdictional review is complete. Given these requirements, the City expects to receive the final determination from the Metropolitan Council for the CPA in November of 2015. City Planner Streff reported that the second component of Planning Case 15-015 is the rezoning of the 427 acre TCAAP parcel, based on the Regulating Plan that has been included in the TRC. The zoning districts depicted on the Regulating Plan will be incorporated within the City’s official Zoning Map. While the CPA will lay out the proposed future land uses for the TCAAP property, the revised Zoning Map will identify the specific zoning districts through which the land uses and goals for the TCAAP redevelopment will be implemented. City Planner Streff indicated that the City is proposing rezoning the property from Mixed Business and Mixed Residential to Campus Commercial, Civic/Open Space, Flex Office, Retail Mixed Use, NR-1 Residential, NR-2 Residential, NR-3 Residential, NR-4 Residential, Neighborhood Transition, Office Mixed Use, Open Space, Town Center, and Water Infrastructure. The proposed rezoning of the TCAAP property is consistent with the land use designations for the site as identified in the proposed Future Land Use Map.
