ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – April 6, 2016 2 Section 1320.05 – Land Use Chart The land use chart lists the permitted and conditional uses in all zoning districts. The proposed amendment would remove Mixed Residential and Mixed Business Districts from the chart. Section 1320.06 – District Requirements Chart The district requirement chart lists the basic requirements for the development of a lot, such as minimum lot area, setbacks, and lot coverage. The proposed amendment would remove Mixed Residential and Mixed Business Districts from the chart. Section 1320.135 – Special Requirements of the Mixed Residential and Mixed Business Districts Some zoning districts have additional special requirements for development that need to be met. Section 1320.135 includes the required Planned Unit Development (PUD) process and master plan components for the Mixed Residential and Mixed Business Districts. This section will be removed in its entirety. Senior Planner Bachler provided the Findings of Fact for review: 1. The City Council approved the TCAAP Master Plan on July 13, 2015, which included the adoption of the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC) as Section 1380 of the Zoning Code and the rezoning of the 427-acre TCAAP property based on the zoning designations in the TRC Regulating Plan. 2. The adoption of the TRC and the rezoning of the TCAAP property based on the TRC Regulating Plan replaced the previous zoning of the 427-acre site as Mixed Business District and Mixed Residential District. 3. The proposed Zoning Code amendments would remove all references in the Zoning Code to the Mixed Residential and Mixed Business Districts as these districts were created as a “placeholder” for the TCAAP property until a Master Plan was approved by the City. 4. The proposed Zoning Code amendments would not have an effect on any properties in the City as there are currently no properties zoned Mixed Residential or Mixed Business. 5. The proposed Zoning Code amendments are in conformance with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. 6. The proposed amendments will create greater consistency between the Zoning Code and the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Senior Planner Bachler stated that staff recommends approval of Planning Case 16-009 to amend Sections 1320.02, 1320.04, 1320.05, 1320.06, and 1320.135 of the Zoning Code in order to remove references to the previous classification of the 427-acre TCAAP property as Mixed Residential District and Mixed Business District, as presented in the April 6, 2016, Report to the Planning Commission Senior Planner Bachler reviewed the options available to the Planning Commission on this matter: 1. Recommend Approval as Submitted. 2. Recommend Approval with Changes. 3. Recommend Denial 4. Table
