City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 <br />7-15 <br /> <br />7.65 Future Opportunities <br /> <br />While Arden Hills does have a limited number of smaller, infill vacant parcels south of <br />Highway 96, future housing opportunities will largely come from the development of the <br />TCAAP site. TCAAP offers an unparalleled opportunity to create a mix of housing <br />integrated with employment, entertainment, recreation and transit service. The flexibility <br />included in the design and development regulations for the site will help the community <br />address its goals of housing diversity and housing affordability. <br />The TCAAP site will include approximately 427 acres of gross development area. Of <br />this total, approximately 162.2 acres of land has been designated specifically for <br />residential development. Residential areas are divided between several zoning districts <br />with varying gross density requirements. A range of different housing types will be <br />accommodated, including single-family detached homes, twin homes, townhomes, <br />manor homes, apartments, condominiums, and senior housing. The City expects that <br />up to 1,460 housing units will be constructed on the site at the time of full development. <br />The residential component of the TCAAP site will offer a future mix of housing that will <br />compliment Arden Hills’ current supply of predominately single-family detached housing. <br />It will provide opportunities to address the changing needs of the local population and it <br />will attract new people to the community. Combined with the City’s efforts to maintain <br />the current supply of housing, the development of the TCAAP site will continue Arden <br />Hills’ position in the marketplace as a highly desirable place to live. <br />7.76 Implementation Strategies <br /> <br />In order to advance the policies and ideas identified in this chapter, the following <br />implementation strategies could be used: <br />o Review City codes to consider and encourage a range of housing opportunities <br />and innovative site design. <br />o Pursue grants or other opportunities that promote the construction of affordable <br />housing.
