City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for December 7, 2016 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2016\PC 16-025 - TCAAP Comprehensive Plan Amendment and TRC Amendment\Memos_Reports_16-024\PC Report_(12-7-16)_16-024.docx Page 4 of 12 Chapter 7 - Housing Chapter 7 (Attachment E) discusses policies to maintain the existing housing stock and the construction of new housing, including at the TCAAP site. The updates include an update to the acreages and overall density of the residential development with the TCAAP site. Chapter 9 – Parks and Recreation Chapter 9 (Attachment F) discusses the existing regional and local park and recreation system and the proposed upgrades to the City’s parks and pathways. This chapter has been updated to include the proposed trail improvements and required public parks and open spaces for the TCAAP redevelopment. The update includes adding the revised parks to the Existing and Proposed Park and Pathway System map (Attachment G). Appendix H – Zoning District Regulations Appendix H (Attachment H) in the Comprehensive Plan outlines all zoning districts within the City. In order to update the Comprehensive Plan the new zoning districts proposed in the TRC have been included in Appendix H. It should be noted that the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) will be contingent on final approval from the Metropolitan Council. In this case, the Metropolitan Council will make the final determination on the CPA, though they provide great deference to the City as long as the proposed land use change does not have a negative impact on a regional system (i.e. transportation, sanitary sewer, and regional parks). The designated review period for CPA applications is 60 days. Once the Metropolitan Council completes their review, they will notify the City of their decision. The City must also allow adjacent governments, affected special districts, and affected school districts up to 60 days to review the proposed amendment. This waiting period allows interested agencies to review and comment on the amendment before the Metropolitan Council review. Given these requirements, the City expects to receive the final determination from the Metropolitan Council for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment in April of 2017. TCAAP Regulating Plan Amendment The City Council adopted a Regulating Plan (Attachment I) in 2015 that provided the zoning for the 427 acre TCAAP parcel. The second component of Planning Case 16-024 is the rezoning of the 427 acre TCAAP parcel, based on the proposed Regulating Plan (Attachment J) that has been included in the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC). The zoning districts depicted on the Regulating Plan for different areas within the TCAAP site will be incorporated within the City’s official Zoning Map. While the Comprehensive Plan Amendment will lay out the proposed future land uses for the TCAAP property, the revised Zoning Map will identify the specific zoning districts through which the land uses and goals for the TCAAP redevelopment will be implemented.
