16 <br />extended to the I-Flex District. The amendment will require a single, modest change to the Land <br />Use Chart: <br />1320.05 Land Use Chart. <br /> Zoning Districts: <br />Uses: <br />R- <br />1 <br />R- <br />2 <br />R- <br />3 <br />R- <br />4 <br />NB B- <br />1 <br />B- <br />2 <br />B- <br />3 <br />B- <br />4 <br />CC GB I- <br />1 <br />I- <br />2 <br />I- <br />Flex <br />CD POS <br />School, <br />higher <br />education <br />D = = = = C C = C C = = = =C = = <br /> <br />The higher education designation should be added as a conditional use. Adding I-Flex as a <br />conditional use will address any concerns that adding the higher education use to the I-Flex <br />District will open large areas of the City to additional higher education uses. Adding higher <br />education as a conditional use in I-Flex, will allow the City to scrutinize closely future proposals <br />to locate higher education facilities in the I-Flex District. Few proposals will be as compatible <br />with past and surrounding uses as Northwestern’s STEM programs. And few would provide such <br />an excellent opportunity to deepen an existing partnership between the City and a well- <br />established institution. <br />Because Northwestern’s proposal would add higher education uses as a conditional use, the City <br />will need to grant Northwestern a CUP in order to allow the STEM Development. <br />Conclusion <br />As the LillieNews recently reported, Northwestern is looking at expanding and is “hoping to <br />keep that growth within [Arden Hills].” Jesse Polle, University looks to grow in Arden Hills, eye <br />on former Smiths Medical, LillieNews, (Sept. 28, 2016, 12:00 AM), <br />http://www.lillienews.com/articles/2016/09/28/university-looks-grow-arden-hills-eye-former- <br />smiths-medical. Northwestern has been a member of the Arden Hills community for over 40 <br />years. The City and University both share to goal of developing the community’s workforce—it <br />is indispensable to the City’s and University’s health. The University and City have always <br />cooperated to achieve these types of common goals. Northwestern is excited about the <br />opportunity to deepen its partnership with the City through the STEM Development.
