_________________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 4 of 30 <br />The regulation of Higher Education Uses within other communities <br />• Based on a survey of 20 communities in Minnesota, private colleges and universities in <br />general are conforming land uses within the municipality in which they are located. <br />• The University of Minnesota and Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MNSCU) <br />are often non-conforming land uses. This is likely because both the University of <br />Minnesota and MNSCU preempt local zoning regulations. <br />• Across the State, higher education uses are allowed in all types of zoning districts, <br />including residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, and agricultural zoning <br />districts. <br />• A number of municipalities have two higher education land uses: College, Campus and <br />College, Office. The College, Campus land use addresses the traditional four year <br />institutions that include classrooms along with residence halls, food services, athletic, <br />spiritual and wellness facilities. The College, Office land use addresses the institutions <br />that have only classrooms which includes the Globe Business Colleges as well as the <br />satellite facilities such as Hamline University’s classroom at St. Louis Park’s West End <br />development. <br /> <br />College and University Enrollment by Community <br />• Arden Hills ratio of residents to students is nearly 1 to 1. This is less than half of the next <br />closest ratio. <br />• An increase in enrollment at Bethel University and/or the University of Northwestern <br />would change the mix of community elements of Arden Hills greater than another other <br />Minnesota community. <br /> <br />Analysis of the Commercial and Employment Uses currently allowed in the various <br />Commercial and Industrial Zones <br />• All Arden Hills zoning districts, including the commercial and industrial districts, contain <br />purpose statements that describe the intent of the districts. <br />• Most uses are treated similarly throughout all the commercial and industrial districts. <br />This similar treatment of land uses does not create the distinctly different commercial and <br />industrial zoning districts that the purpose statements seem to indicate. <br /> <br />Analysis of the Employment and Economic Activity that results from the allowed Commercial <br />and Employment Uses <br />• There is a wide range of economic activity from employment offered by the land uses <br />allowed in the Arden Hills commercial and industrial zones. These land uses can be <br />grouped into three categories based on the average employee wage per 1,000 square feet: <br />o Category 1: Greater than $200,000 per 1,000 square feet <br />o Category 2: Between $100,000 and $200,000 per 1,000 square feet <br />o Category 3: Less than $100,000 per 1,000 square feet <br />• Employees of Category 1 businesses normally work in office building. <br />• Employees of Category 2 businesses have the greatest variety of the three categories. <br />Health care, retail trade, lower wage positions within office environments, and <br />manufacturing are all Category 2 businesses and each of those businesses prefer a <br />different type of workplace and building structure. <br />Dr <br />a <br />f <br />t <br /> <br />0 <br />8 <br />/ <br />0 <br />2 <br />/ <br />2 <br />0 <br />1 <br />7
