City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 7-9 Almost the entire group quarters population is at Bethel University and Presbyterian Homes. Between 2000 and 2004, Bethel University increased the on-campus housing capacity from 1,530 to 1,963 students. Presbyterian Homes, a senior housing facility, had a 377 capacity and 19 senior apartment units and is typically at capacity.

Almost the entire group quarters population is at Bethel University or Johanna Shores, a senior housing community owned and operated by Presbyterian Homes & Services. For the 2016/2017 school year, Bethel University had an occupancy of 1,655 students. The Johanna Shores housing facility has 126 units and is typically at capacity. The remaining group quarters population lives in group homes in residential areas of the City. The University of Northwestern is partially located in Arden Hills; however, the residence halls for the university are located in the adjacent community of Roseville. While group quarters housing is calculated separately from traditional housing, it is important to recognize this type of housing can impact the City’s sewer, water, transportation, parks, and recreation systems differently than traditional types of housing. It is likely that the number of people living in group quarters at Bethel University, Presbyterian homesJohanna Shores, and other group homes will increase as those facilities do have additional land to expand. Therefore, it is important for the City to work with these institutions to manage the potential impacts as well as promote a diversity of housing. 7.3 Household Forecasts The total number of households in Arden Hills is forecasted to increase by over 55 1,300 households percent between 20210 and 2040.
