Communities have two options to provide this density: Option 1 is to <br />guide sufficient land at a minimum of 8 dwelling units per net acre (du/ac), and <br />Option 2 is to guide sufficient land at a minimum of 12 du/ac for the affordable <br />housing allocation of 50% AMI and below and sufficient land at a minimum of 6 <br />du/ac for the affordable housing allocation between 51% and 80% AMI. Arden <br />Hills has proposed to use Option 2 to achieve the affordable housing allocation. <br />Table 7.11 – 2021-2030 Affordable Housing Allocation <br />Affordability Units <br />At or Below 30% AMI 129 <br />31 to 50% AMI 100 <br />51 to 80% AMI 144 <br />Total Units 373 <br /> <br />In order to ensure that the 50% AMI or below housing need can be met, Arden Hills has <br />15.9 acres guided for Town Center zoning within the TCAAP development. At the <br />minimum density required, this could provide 239 units. <br /> Draft 03/07/2018
