City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for April 25, 2016 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2016\PC 16-009 - Zoning Code Amendment - Mixed Business & Mixed Residential Districts\Memos_Reports_16-009 Page 2 of 3 Zoning Code and the rezoning of the TCAAP property based on the zoning designations in the TRC Regulating Plan. This action replaced the previous zoning of the site as Mixed Residential and Mixed Business. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to remove all references in the Zoning Code related to Mixed Residential and Mixed Business Districts. The amendment would not affect any properties in the City as there are currently no properties zoned Mixed Residential or Mixed Business. The City Attorney has drafted Ordinance Number 2016-006 and the Summary for publication (Attachments A and B). The red-lined version of the proposed amendment has also been provided in Attachment C. Findings of Fact The Planning Commission reviewed Planning Case 16-009 at their regular meeting on April 6, 2016. Draft minutes from the meeting are included in Attachment F. The Planning Commission offers the following findings of fact for consideration: 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. Recommendation The Planning Commission reviewed Planning Case 16-009 at their regular meeting on April 6, 2016, and unanimously recommends approval (7-0) of the proposed amendment to Chapter 13, Sections 1320.02, 1320.04, 1320.05, 1320.06, and 1320.135 of the Arden Hills City Code based on the findings of fact as presented in the April 25, 2016, Report to the City Council.
