ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – MAY 29, 2018 6 <br /> <br />City Planner Bachler reported the Applicant was proposing to change the future land use <br />designation from Public and Institutional to Very Low Density Residential. He provided further <br />comment on how the City defined Very Low Density Residential. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes asked if the zoning of this property was R-2 and inquired if this would <br />remain the same. <br /> <br />City Planner Bachler stated the property was zoned R-2 District and the proposal did not <br />require a change to the zoning. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung questioned what the City had planned for this site in the 2040 <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />City Planner Bachler stated the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan has the property designated as <br />Very Low Density Residential but noted this would not come into effect until the Met Council <br />approves the City’s plan. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 7:47 p.m. <br /> <br />Tracy Timp, 1901 Jerrold, stated she appreciated the fact the Council had pressed this issue and <br />was changing this development from four houses to three. <br /> <br />With no one coming forward to speak, Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 7:49 p.m. <br /> <br />10.
