City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved:, XXXX <br />11-9 <br />11.2.3 Jurisdictional Issues <br /> <br />There are no planned jurisdictional transfers planned between Arden Hills and <br />Ramsey County. The City desires active participation in any jurisdictional <br />discussion. <br /> <br />11.2.4 Relevant Transportation Studies <br /> <br />A number of studies have been completed or are in the process of being <br />completed to provide direction relative to the development of the City of Arden <br />Hills’ transportation system. <br /> <br />Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) Alternative Urban Areawide <br />Review: <br /> <br />An Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) and Mitigation Plan was <br />approved for the TCAAP site in 2014, including "Minimum" and "Maximum" <br />development scenarios. A separate traffic study was conducted as part of the <br />preparation of the AUAR. This included a more comprehensive summary of the <br />analysis results than what was provided in the AUAR. To determine the impacts <br />on the local roadway network, a traffic operations analysis was conducted for <br />intersections within the vicinity of the TCAAP site for various development <br />scenarios, and mitigation measures were identified based on the results. <br /> <br />In addition to Existing and 2030 No Build Scenarios, the future development <br />scenarios for TCAAP included a Year 2030 Minimum Development Scenario and <br />a Year 2030 Maximum Development Scenario. The minimum development <br />scenario was based on the City’s existing zoning requirements for the site, which <br />provided a constrained analysis. A Maximum Development Scenario for 2030 <br />was also analyzed to evaluate a land use mix that maximized the acceptable use <br />of available and potential infrastructure, seeking a balance of financial feasibility, <br />while maintaining community livability and sustainability. <br /> <br />Due to increases in background traffic and the proposed TCAAP redevelopment, <br />transportation network changes are anticipated to occur in the future. Several <br />long-term improvements are being implemented in and around the project study <br />area. Improvements at the Interstate 35W interchanges with Highway 96, County <br />Road H, and County Road I have been constructed. In addition, Old Hwy 8 and <br />the “Spine Road” will provide regional connections through the TCAAP site and <br />to the regional roadways. These improvements will influence trip distribution for <br />the TCAAP redevelopment project. <br /> Draft 03/07/2018
