City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for July 22, 2019 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2019\19-002 – Summit Development – CPA, RZ, SP, CUP, FPUD, PP, FP Page 2 of 7 Requested Action: 1. Comprehensive Plan Amendment: The Applicant is requesting an amendment to the Arden Hills 2040 Comprehensive Plan to change the future land use designation of the property located at 1718, 1720, 1722 Parkshore Drive and 4177 Old Highway 10 Road from Medium Density Residential to High Density Residential. An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan requires a recommendation from the Planning Commission following a public hearing, adoption of a resolution by the City Council, and review and approval by the Metropolitan Council. The City has submitted its 2040 Comprehensive Plan update to the Metropolitan Council. The Metropolitan Council will not consider any amendments to the Comprehensive Plan until the 2040 Plan is approved. The City can proceed with the amendment, but must wait to submit it to the Metropolitan Council for final approval, likely later this fall. As a condition of approval of this development, execution of the Final Plat is contingent upon approval of the Comprehensive Plan amendment by the Metropolitan Council. 2. Rezoning: The City’s Zoning Code identifies specific zoning districts through which the land uses and goals in the Comprehensive Plan are implemented. The zoning cannot conflict with the land use designation. When there is a conflict between the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Code, the City is required to amend the Zoning Code to comply with the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant is requesting to rezone the property to R-4, Multiple-Dwelling District, which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and state law requirements. 3. Conditional Use Permit A Conditional Use Permit is required for a nursing home and assisted living use within the R-4, Multiple Dwelling zoning district. City Code Section 1355.04 Subd. 3 of the Arden Hills Zoning Code lists the criteria for evaluating a Conditional Use Permit. The Planning Commission and City Council should consider the effect of the proposed use upon the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the owners and occupants of the surrounding land and the community, in general, including but not limited to the following factors: 1. Existing and anticipated traffic and parking conditions; 2. Noise, glare, odors, vibration, smoke, dust, air pollution, heat, liquid or solid waste, and other nuisance characteristics; 3. Drainage; 4. Population density; 5. Visual and land use compatibility with uses and structures on surrounding land; 6. Adjoining land values; 7. Park dedications where applicable; 8. Orderly development of the neighborhood and the City within the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Code and the Comprehensive Development Plan for the City.
