City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved:, 2018 <br />6-10 <br />sales, office/warehouse, light manufacturing, or repair orientated that are more <br />typically industrial uses. The City should consider whether zoning changes in <br />this area of the City would be appropriate in order to achieve the City’s vision for <br />the district and to support existing businesses in the area. <br /> <br />6.4.5 Neighborhood Business <br /> <br />The purpose of the Neighborhood Business land use concept is to promote the <br />development of commercial nodes that were compatible with the surrounding <br />residential uses and provided services to residential areas. Commercial uses <br />that generate high traffic, noise, or other negative impacts were considered <br />undesirable. Neighborhood business areas are located at intersections or nodes <br />at the edge of residential areas, on properties not considered desirable for <br />housing, or properties that have traditionally been occupied with neighborhood <br />services. Housing can be a component of the development but would not <br />necessarily be the focal point. <br /> <br />To date, the success of the Neighborhood Business district has been mixed. <br />Two projects have been developed under this zoning designation, and both <br />resulted in the construction of small office buildings with a variety of services. <br />However, neither of the projects focused on providing neighborhood level <br />services. <br /> <br />There are a number undeveloped Neighborhood Business properties on <br />Cleveland Avenue south of County Road E-2 and the former City Hall/Public <br />Works site south of Highway 96 at Hamline Avenue. The size, shape and <br />proximity to residential uses limits the commercial redevelopment opportunities, <br />and the City may choose to consider appropriate residential uses for these sites. <br /> <br />6.4.6 Developable Gateway Business Properties <br /> <br />There is about 35 acres of undeveloped land in the Gateway Business Zoning <br />District northeast quadrant of Interstates 35W and 694. There are some <br />wetlands and woodland that may influence future development, but considerate <br />design may mitigate most impacts of development. The designation of this area <br />is currently I/O – Light Industrial & Office. The City’s vision is for these <br />undeveloped properties to be developed for a corporate office or similar type use. <br /> <br />Dr <br />a <br />f <br />t <br /> <br />11 <br />/ <br />0 <br />1 <br />/ <br />2 <br />0 <br />1 <br />7
