City of Arden Hills - Comprehensive Plan - DRAFT Since the 2008 current land use data is based on actual land usage while the 1998 future land use data was based on what was anticipated to occur, the two data sets will not match. The differences between the two data sets are largely attributable to more accurate data in 2008, the acknowledgement of vacant land, and the delayed redevelopment of the TCAAP property. The 2008 categories are more specific because it is existing land uses can be evaluated while the 1998 data was based on future land uses. The 2008 Future Land Use data will also use more general categories like the 1998 Future Land Use map. There were a few land use changes between 1998 and 2008 that contributed to the increased right-of-way. The Hazelnut Park #3 subdivision and subsequent extension of Katie Lane increased the amount of land used for right-of-way; however, the road that connected Red Fox Road to Grey Fox Road was vacated. The availably of more accurate data is reflected in the water category. While yearly fluctuations may have contributed to the change in water cover, more accurate data is likely the reason for the 88 increase water cover. Of the 131 acres of vacant land in 2008, approximately 70 acres are zoned for residential, 40 acres are zoned commercial, and 21 acres are light industrial. The vacant land does not include the TCAAP property. Finally, the existing TCAAP property land uses in 2008 is the most notable difference from the 1998 future land uses. Since 1998, the number of acres that were anticipated to be part of the TCAAP redevelopment has been reduced, and the development itself has been delayed. While a specific timeline for redevelopment on the TCAAP property is not yet known, much of the development is anticipated to occur in phases over the next ten to twenty years. The 2008 existing land uses are defined as follows: 1. Single family detached (SFD)— includes all detached single family homes. 2. Single family attached (SFA)— includes all attached single family homes such as townhomes with separate entrances. 3. Multiple family(MF)— includes apartment buildings and condominiums of more than one story. 4. Manufactured housing (MH)—includes manufactured and mobile homes in specialized parks. 5. Neighborhood business (NB)— neighborhood business designates small, isolated areas for neighborhood commercial land uses when they are compatible with surrounding residential uses. 6. Commercial—areas designated for a broad range of retail, shopping, and services to meet the needs of the community and region. DRAFT 25 3/14/2008
