City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved:, 2018 <br />6-15 <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 />6.4.7 Employment Zones and Consumer Zones <br /> <br />The uses allowed in all the existing industrial zones and most of the commercial <br />zones would allow for high economic activity uses adjacent to low economic <br />activity uses. The uses allowed in some industrial zoning districts should be <br />limited to create high economic activity districts with an emphasis on employment <br />activities. Certain commercial zoning districts should be limited to encourage <br />consumer-orientated uses. This employment versus consumer activity should be <br />considered when revising the uses allowed in the various commercial and <br />industrial zones. <br /> <br /> <br />6.4.8 Manufactured Home Community <br /> <br />The Arden Manor neighborhood has been identified as an important community <br />and the primary supply of affordable housing options in the City. Bounded by <br />Interstate 35W, Highway 96, and Highway 10, the neighborhood is facing <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
