_____________________________________________________________________________________________ <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for July 10, 2019 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2019\19-002 - Summit Development - PUD, CPA, RZ, PP, FP <br />Page 3 of 19 <br />on the south side to the high point of 928’ in the center of the site. Significant grading will be <br />required to develop the property. <br />Approvals: <br />1.Comprehensive Plan Amendment: <br />As part of their application, the developer has requested that the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Land <br />Use plan be amended to re-guide the subject properties. The existing land use is Medium <br />Density Residential and this land use category allows for densities of six (6) to nine units (9) per <br />acre. The Applicant is requesting to re-guide the subject property to High Density Residential <br />which allows for densities of nine (9) to twelve (12) units per acre. Amending the <br />Comprehensive Plan land use designation for this development is consistent with the following <br />Comprehensive Plan policies: <br />Land Use Goal Policy: Preserve the stability and quality of the city's neighborhoods <br />while allowing for redevelopment that is complimentary to existing development. <br />Even though the proposed project is not a redevelopment project it meets the intent of the <br />policy as the proposed land use is compatible with the adjacent uses. As the image below <br />illustrates the proposed re-guiding is complementary to the existing high density at <br />Parkshore Apartments and medium density at Edgewater Estates. <br />Housing Goal Policy: Encourage the incorporation of affordable and life-cycle housing <br />into new development and redevelopment where feasible.
