City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 <br />7-15 <br />as Medium Density Residential or High Density Residential on the Future Land Use Map. <br />The City would not seek to concentrate affordable housing in any particular area. <br /> <br />In addition to ensuring that there is sufficient land designated that has the potential to provide <br />affordable housing, the City of Arden Hills is committed to continuing its participation in the <br />Metropolitan Livable Community Program. As a participant, the City of Arden Hills continues <br />to be eligible to compete for grant funding provided by the Livable Communities Act (LCA) to <br />assist with clean-up operations for polluted land for redevelopment, creating development or <br />redevelopment opportunities that demonstrate efficient use of land and infrastructure through <br />connected development patterns, and opportunities to create more affordable housing. <br /> <br />7.4.3 Housing Quality <br />7.6.3 Housing Quality <br /> <br />Except for the TCAAP property, much of Arden Arden Hills is considered developed. As was <br />pointed out earlier, the age of 70 percentthe majority of the current housing stock makes <br />ongoing maintenance a community concern. If Arden Hills’ existing neighborhoods are going <br />to remain attractive places to live, owners will need to continue maintenance and <br />reinvestment efforts. <br /> <br />Encouraging housing maintenance can be done in two ways, either through voluntary efforts <br />or through regulatory requirements. Many communities rely on both. Ideally, all residents <br />will maintain their property in a sound and attractive manner. Realistically, however, a small <br />percentage of properties will not be adequately maintained and in such cases, they can have <br />a significant negative impact on surrounding properties and even the neighborhood as a <br />whole. <br /> <br />Formatted: Font: 15 pt <br />Formatted: Indent: Left: 0.5", Tab stops: <br />0.35", Left + Not at 0.24" <br />Formatted: Emphasis, Font: (Default) Calibri, <br />15 pt <br />Formatted: Font: (Default) Calibri, 15 pt, <br />Italic, Font color: Custom <br />Color(RGB(112,173,71))
