Arden Hills 2040 Comprehensive Plan – Community Designation Density May 13, 2019 Page 2 K:\03455-200\Admin\Meeting\CC Meetings\05132019\Memorandum.docx This Neighborhood Residential density within the Comprehensive Plan is different that the Neighborhood Residential zoning category densities listed in the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC). There are four Neighborhood Residential zoning categories in the TRC: TR-1, TR-2, TR- 3, and TR-4. The densities listed in the TRC are: The NR-1 does not have a minimum density, but the Neighborhood Residential land use category has a minimum density of 1.5 units per acre and would become the default minimum density for the NR-1 zoning district. The NR-3 and NR-4 zoning district both have the same minimum density of 4 units per acre. If the Neighborhood Residential land use category was divided into three categories to match the NR-1, the NR-2, and the NR-3&4 zoning districts, then the overall average density would become 4.32 units per acre, a 1.01 units per acre increase over the January 14, 2019 Comprehensive Plan, but still 0.68 units per acre less than required. To achieve at least 5 units per acre, two addition changes are recommended. First, the minimum residential density of the Community Mixed Use land use designation is increased from 9 units per acre to 12 units per acre. 12 units per acre is in line with the High Density Residential land use category and would encourage apartments within the B-2 zoning district. If a mixed used building were to be constructed in the B-2 zoning district, then the acreage of the parcel is calculated per use based on a pro-rated basis. Second, the minimum density of the Town Center land use designation can be increased to 21 units per acre. This would be at least half of the allowed density within the TRC for the least dense Town Center zoning district, TC-3. Land Use Acres Min. Percentage Residential Min.
