Long <br />considered the “downtown” of Arden Hills, the district is a mix of newer and older <br />buildings and primarily retail, service, and office uses. As this corridor ages, <br />market initiated redevelopment is anticipated. <br /> <br />The “Guiding Plan for the B-2 District” includes a long-term vision for the future <br />redevelopment of this corridor and addresses transportation issues, land uses, <br />infrastructure improvements, landscaping, pedestrian facilities, building design, <br />and site layout among other issues. While the primary uses along this corridor <br />are likely to remain retail, commercial, and office, the Guiding Plan and <br />subsequent land use changes add the possibility for multi-family residential <br />housing in this area. <br /> <br />Since the completion of the plan in 2008, the area has seen substantial <br />redevelopment with the opening of new retail, restaurant, and multi-family <br />residential housing uses. The City and Ramsey County completed infrastructure <br />improvements on County Road E in 2015, including streetscape enhancements <br />and improved pedestrian and bicycle facilities. <br />Dr <br />a <br />f <br />t <br /> <br />11 <br />/ <br />2 <br />0 <br />/ <br />2 <br />0 <br />1 <br />7
