City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 7-22 The residential component of the TCAAP site will offer a future mix of housing that will compliment Arden Hills’ current supply of predominately single-family detached housing. It will provide opportunities to address the changing needs of the local population and it will attract new people to the community. Combined with the City’s efforts to maintain the current supply of housing, the development of the TCAAP site will continue Arden Hills’ position in the marketplace as a highly desirable place to live. 7.8 Implementation Strategies In order to advance the policies and ideas identified in this chapter, the following implementation strategies could be used: o Review City codes to consider and encourage a range of housing opportunities and innovative site design. o Pursue grants or other opportunities that promote the construction of affordable housing. o Implement the adopted rental regulations to ensure the functionality and maintenance of rental properties. o Explore the adoption of an administrative fine program to deter ongoing nuisance and property maintenance issues. o Promote the use of high quality materials in new housing construction to minimize long-term deterioration of the housing stock. o Ensure safety, livability and durability of the housing stock through enforcement of the Minnesota State Building Code, which includes educating property owners and residents on housing and property maintenance codes. o Develop regulations that prohibit the construction of housing that is not compatible with the scale of the existing neighborhood. o Implement adopted standards to protect lakes, wetlands, trees, and other open spaces during redevelopments and infill projects. o Establish architectural/design guidelines for new developments and redevelopments.
