City Council – Arden Hills October 10, 2018 Page 3 K:\03455-200\Admin\Meeting\CC Meetings\10152018\WSB CC Memo 10152018.docx “The City would consider an application/supporting an application/administering (tool) to support (new construction) of housing affordable at (50-80% AMI)” “The City would consider supporting a developer’s application to Minnesota Housing’s Consolidated RFP for new construction of housing units in areas designated high density that are affordable at 51-80% AMI.” 7. Identify tools for preserving Arden Manor. Arden Manor is identified MDR – Medium Density Residential on the draft Land Use Map, which is consistent with the current development of the Arden Manor. The Land Use Chapter also specifically addresses Arden Manor with the following language: “The Arden Manor neighborhood has been identified as an important community and the primary supply of affordable housing options in the City. Bounded by Interstate 35W, Highway 96, and Highway 10, the neighborhood is facing pressure from adjacent highways and land uses. The City anticipates this property will remain as a medium density residential use for the foreseeable future.” WSB believes these two factors are the tools to preserving Arden Manor and no further information is required within the Comprehensive Plan. Requested Action Provide direction on how to address each of the seven areas raised by Metropolitan Council staff. Next Steps Revise the entire Comprehensive Plan to address comments from the Metropolitan Council and from any other agencies followed by the review and approval of the City Council.
