_________________________________________________________________________________________ <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for August 9, 2017 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2017\PC 17-006 - Higher Education Study\Memos_Reports_17-006\PC Memo (08-09- <br />17)_17-006 V2.docx <br /> <br />Page 4 of 7 <br />within the B-2 zoning district is 982,138 square feet. This results in the Anderson Center <br />occupying 23.1% of the total building space in the B-2 zoning district. The proposed limit of <br />25% would allow for about 18,400 square feet available for additional higher educational uses. <br /> <br />At the July 5 Planning Commission, Chair Thompson questioned if any other communities have <br />a percentage limitation in their zoning codes regarding higher education uses. After reviewing <br />the codes, none of them have a percentage limitation in their codes. <br /> <br />INST – Institutional Zoning District <br /> <br />The City Council has recommended that a separate, stand-alone zoning district be prepared for <br />the Higher Education, Campus uses of the Bethel University and University of Northwestern <br />campuses within Arden Hills. To create the zoning district, a minimum of three items would <br />need to be addressed: purpose statements, uses, and performance standards. Staff has prepared <br />the following draft language. <br /> <br />“1320.04 Purpose of Districts. Subd. 20 INST Institutional District. <br /> <br />A. To establish areas for the post-secondary education of general public. <br /> <br />B. To establish areas for the training of well educated and talented workforce. <br /> <br />C. To provide for the ability of the post-secondary students to live and have their daily needs <br />met on the campus of the post-secondary education institution. <br /> <br />D. To provide the opportunity for athletic programs to be created for the post-secondary <br />students while providing opportunities for the general public to experience these athletic <br />programs.” <br /> <br />“1320.05 Land Use Chart.” <br /> <br />CD POS INST <br />Garage, truck ================C C <br />Higher Education, Campus C <br />Higher Education, Classroom/Office C <br />Home occupation: Class I A A A A A A <br />I-2 I- <br />FLEXUses: <br />Zoning Districts: <br />R‑1 R‑2 R‑3 R‑4 NB B‑1 B‑2 B‑3 B‑4 CC GB I‑1
