City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 6-13 The approved Master Plan for the TCAAP property includes 162.2 acres of residential land and a maximum of 1,460 residential units for an overall maximum gross density of 9.00 units per acre. The gross density includes the neighborhood collector roads; however, it excludes parks, arterial roads, and the water infrastructure. 6.4.11 Staged Development Since the areas south of Highways 96 and 10 are considered fully developed and there is relatively little vacant property, a five year staged development has not been developed. While a small amount of vacant land exists in the developed portion of the City, development on the vacant land is unlikely to have a significant impact on the City’s or region’s infrastructure. As previously noted in Chapter 5 the demolition and remediation of the TCAAP site was completed in November 2015. Grading of the site and the construction of the main roadway are expected to begin in 2019. At this time, it is expected that private development will begin in late 2019 or 2020. The project is anticipated to be completed in phases over the next 10 to 20 years; however, the development timeline will depend on a number of conditions, including the market, transportation improvements, and other related factors. 6.5 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES In order to advance implementation of this land use chapter, the below activities are proposed. This list is not intended to be all-inclusive and additional activities that advance the land use goal are encouraged to be developed. o Update the City’s Zoning Code to bring it into conformance with the land uses in the Comprehensive Plan. o Evaluate zoning regulations to ensure that sufficient buffers are provided between commercial, industrial, and residential uses to protect the character of the City’s residential neighborhoods. o Develop a small area plan for the Red Fox/Grey Fox/Lexington Avenue business area to provide a more detailed redevelopment vision for incorporation into this Comprehensive Plan. o Develop design standards for commercial, industrial, and residential developments to ensure the construction of high-quality, sustainable, and aesthetically enhancing development. o Develop zoning regulations that restrict housing construction that is not sensitive to the character of the existing neighborhood. o Continue to enforce property maintenance codes to protect quality and property values in the City.
