<br />4 <br /> <br />Joint Development Authority <br /> TCAAP Redevelopment Project <br />buildings on TCAAP. Mixed use buildings with office and retail are allowed. The maximum density in the <br />town center neighborhood is 40 units per acre. <br /> <br />The Transition Neighborhood is zoned to allow small- and medium-density multi-family as well as small- <br />scale commercial uses such as restaurants, banks, daycares, and retail. This district is intended to <br />provide a transition from the relatively low-density single-family neighborhoods to the higher-density <br />Town Center District. While the maximum overall density is expected to be 10 units per acre, the City <br />Council has directed staff to draft zoning in which the Transition Neighborhood is divided into higher- <br />and lower-density zones. The City Council’s goal with the new zones is to ensure that diverse housing <br />products are built. In other words, they would prefer a combination of row homes, townhomes, cottage <br />homes, and small lot single-family as opposed to one product type across the entire neighborhood. The <br />new zoning districts will be presented for City Council review in January 2015. <br /> <br /> <br />Spine Road Realignment <br /> <br />Ramsey County has requested that the City consider a realignment of the Spine Road to allow a 20-acre <br />retail parcel on the west side of the Spine Road as well as a 20-acre office parcel that is far enough north <br />to allow visibility from I-35W. The City Council is generally supportive of this request and has provided <br />direction on shifts in land uses on the east side of the spine road to accommodate the realignment: <br /> Realign green spaces west of the Spine Road and in the Town Center so that they are along an <br />east-west pedestrian corridor <br /> Reduce retail space on the east side of the Spine Road by roughly half to approximately 2.5 <br />acres <br /> Increase gross acreage for Town Center to approximately 17 to 18 acres <br /> <br />Projected Density and Number of Units <br /> <br />Based on City Council direction on the residential neighborhoods, the following chart includes estimates <br />of total units and maximum residential density. The following chart does not take into account shifts in <br />land uses as a result of the Spine Road realignment. Once the consultants are able to provide updated <br />maps and acreages, revised numbers will be provided to the City Council and JDA. <br /> <br />Neighborhood Gross <br />Acres <br />Maximum <br />Density <br />Total <br />Units <br />Creek 43 3.0 130 <br />Hill 66 4.4 290 <br />Neighborhood <br />Transition <br />47 10.0 470 <br />Town Center 15 40.0 600 <br />Total 171 8.7 1,490 <br /> <br />
