City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan <br />Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 <br />7-1 <br />7.Housing <br />Goal: Develop and maintain a strong, vital, diverse and stable housing supply for all <br />members of the community. <br />To achieve this housing goal, the following policies are proposed: <br />o Promote the development of a variety of housing options by preserving and <br />increasing high-quality housing opportunities that are suitable for a mix of ages, <br />incomes and household types. <br />o Encourage the incorporation of affordable and, life-cycle, and work force housing <br />into new development and redevelopment where feasible. <br />o Maintain the quality, safety, and unique character of the City’s housing stock. <br />o Preserve and strengthen the community’s neighborhoods to maintain a high- <br />quality of life for residents. <br />o Encourage housing development and redevelopment that is complimentary to <br />and enhances the character of the City’s established neighborhoods. <br />7.1 INTRODUCTION <br />One of the principal roles of a community is to serve as a place to live. In Arden Hills, <br />21.223.1 percent of all of the land area in the community is currently used for housing <br />(not including TCAAP). However, if public open spaces and roads are removed, <br />housing accounts for 52.9 percent of all developed land in Arden Hills. The approved <br />TCAAP Master Plan envisions that 38.0 percent of the total 427 acre site will be <br />developed for residential uses. Because housing is such an important part of Arden <br />Hills, maintaining the quality of the current housing stock while providing long-term <br />opportunities for new housing is important to the ongoing vitality of the community and <br />to retaining Arden Hills’ reputation as a highly desirable place to live. <br />Dr <br />a <br />f <br />t <br /> <br />1 <br />1 <br />/ <br />0 <br />1 <br />/ <br />2 <br />0 <br />1 <br />7 <br />Attachment E
