ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—NOVEMBER 28, 2016 6 Mayor Grant commented the City's standards were set by the market. Mr. Lux described how the rental market had changed over the past few years and noted renters were looking for smaller units with numerous amenities available onsite. He requested the Council allow him to react to the numbers and that he be allowed to respond at a future meeting. Councilmember Holden supported the numbers being written into the TRC. Councilmember Holmes questioned if the TRC should be forwarded to the Planning Commission if the developer hasn't had a chance to respond to this matter. Mayor Grant believed the TRC could move forward and receive comment from the Planning Commission. Councilmember McClung suggested the TRC move forward as is without the numbers, with the understanding Arden Hills City Code would apply. He indicated the developer could then respond to this issue. Mr. Lux looked forward to discussing this item with his team and reporting back to the City Council. Interim City Planner Zweber discussed the frontage requirements and Town Center specific issues with the Council. He discussed the proposed restaurants and retail planned for the Town Center and requested comment from the Council on the proper line for office and retail. Councilmember Holden believed additional office should be considered. She had the understanding that higher paying jobs were associated with office versus retail. Councilmember Holmes stated the Council wanted to see more office. Further discussion ensued regarding the retail, commercial and office uses within TCAAP. Mayor Grant asked if the line had to be horizontal. Councilmember Wicklund questioned what the Council wanted for these two areas so the main issues can be addressed and a solution can be found. Councilmember Holden stated the area is currently divided 50/50. The reason for this was because commercial property brought in more per square foot and higher paying jobs. She recommended the parcels not be zoned based on speculation. Councilmember McClung was willing to accept the office/retail line on Attachment A as is. Councilmember Holmes had an issue with the proposed restaurants. She indicated the space was zoned for restaurants and parking and feared restaurants may not come to this portion of the development.
