Background In April of 2014, the City Council approved a change to the Zoning Map to begin the process of rezoning the land owned by the federal government east of the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) known as the Arden Hills Army Training Site (AHATS). At that time, four parcels or approximately 2/3 of the AHATS property was rezoned to Conservation District (CD) in order for the City’s Zoning Map (Attachment B) to correspond with the approved Future Land Use Map (Attachment C). The remaining properties, adjacent to the eastern half of the TCAAP site, to be rezoned to either Conservation District or Park and Open Space District, were not included in the rezoning in 2014, as the Ramsey County Parks and Recreation Department was working with the federal government to purchase some of these lands to be incorporated into their park system. Three additional properties, to the north of TCAAP, to be rezoned Civic Center District, also remained unchanged during the rezoning in 2014, as these properties were expected to be rezoned with the remaining properties east of TCAAP.
