ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — MARCH 19, 2018 4 F. Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan City Planner Bachler reminded the Council of the background for the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update and upcoming meeting schedule. Revisions were made to the draft based on the Work Session on February 20, 2018. He noted that because the City did not use tools to help support the development of Affordable Housing for three to six units per acre in the past ten years, they could not meet the Metropolitan Council's housing requirements by guiding sufficient land in the three to six unit per acre range. WSB & Associates Senior Planner Eric Zweber explained the options available to met the Metropolitan Council requirements based on the projects currently in Arden Hills and potential projects in TCAAP. He noted the land uses could stay the same as in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and that the City only has to show the land is available for future projects. Councilmember Holden asked that several line changes be made to the draft plan. WSB & Associates Senior Planner Zweber discussed three changes that were made to the draft plan based on the last work session. 2. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND STAFF UPDATES Councilmember Holden asked if we could put a speed trailer on New Brighton Road during the traffic speed study.
