Home Browse Search

Staff has been working on incorporating the changes made to the Code in regards to the TCAAP property into other aspects of the Zoning Code. The process affects four different sections of the � Code. • Section 1305.04, Definitions — New and updated definitions created for the TCAAP land use designations would be used to replace outdated definitions in the existing Code that pertain to the City's other Zoning Districts. • Section 132Q.05, Land Use Chart — When the TCAAP land use chart was added, it was added as a stand-alone section within the Code. Staff is proposing to consolidate the two charts, which would require the modifications of some of the existing land use designations currently listed for the City's other Zoning Districts. • Section 1320.06, District Requirernents — Similar to the TCAAP land use chart, the district requirements section was added as a stand-alone section. This would be added to the existing district requirements chart in the Code. This modification would have no impact on the existing district requirements for the City's other Zoning Districts. • Section 1320.14, Planned Unit Development Overiay District — This Section describes the City's existing PUD process that is used for all districts in the City with the exception of the Mixed Business and Mixed Residential Districts on TCAAP. This Section would be updated to match the recently adopted TCAAP PUD process, so that the PUD process is consistent throughout the City. Discussion Updating the district requirements chart (Attachment D) and the PUD process (Attachment C) is straightforward, and has minimal impact on the City's other Zoning Districts. Similarly, the definitions section of the Code (Attachment B) has been revised to remove erroneous definitions, the language of old defnitions updated, and incorporated new definitions that were written for the TCAAP property. Consolidating the land use charts however has proven to be a more compIicated task. Because the TCAAP land use chart includes new la.nd use classifications and eliminates out-dated land uses, the City's existing land use chart requires significant modification in order to make it possible to combine the two. Staff has prepared a proposed Land Use Chart (Attachment D) based on previous discussions with the City Councii, Planning Commission, and the City's legal counsel regarding land uses during the TCAAP zoning process. The designated land uses identified in the chart have been modified to match those that were adopted for the TCAAP property. The modified land uses, and their definitions within Section 1305.04, were previously approved by the Planning Commission and City Council for TCAAP and are not under review as part of this update. Rather, the classifications for each of those land uses within the City's other Zoning Districts outside of TCAAP are the focus of this revision. For example, because the definition for City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for January 10, 2011 i � Page 2 of 4
