TCAAP AUAR Update <br />August 2019 <br />Response to The Alliance for Metropolitan Stability <br />Failure to Discuss TCAAP Plan Implications for Bus Rapid Transit <br />After adoption of the 2014 AUAR, the A Line Corridor Extension Evaluation was completed <br />by Metro Transit in September 2016.8 Metro Transit’s study noted that the A Line extension <br />service area would likely need substantial land use change (and revised employee home <br />locations) throughout the corridor to achieve even minimum required levels of service <br />productivity to meet the estimated incremental operating cost. A phased approach of <br />improved local service and future, phased BRT service may provide a path toward sufficient <br />service productivity to sustain service, while also supporting land use goals and <br />transportation needs in the corridor. The Metropolitan Council’s 2040 Transportation Policy <br />Plan (adopted October 24, 2018) does not include the A Line extension as part of its’ <br />Current Revenue Scenario; therefore, it is not addressed in the AUAR Update. <br />Failure to Discuss Compatibility of TCAAP Plans with the City’s Comprehensive <br />Plan <br />The Minnesota Environmental Quality Board’s document titled “Recommended Content <br />and Format: Alternative Urban Areawide Review Documents”9 states that the anticipated <br />types (single or multiple family) and intensity (density) of residential and <br />commercial/warehouse/light industrial development throughout the AUAR area should be <br />given for each development scenario. The defined development scenarios are consistent <br />with that guidance. Specific housing cost types are not typically defined in an AUAR or <br />EAW. <br />As noted in Chapter 7: Housing of the Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan,10 the Metropolitan <br />Council’s long-range plan for the region (Thrive MSP 2040) states that communities must <br />guide a sufficient amount of land at minimum densities to provide opportunities for <br />affordable housing to be developed. Communities have two options to provide this density: <br />Option 1 is to guide sufficient land at a minimum of 8 dwelling units per net acre (du/ac), <br />and Option 2 is to guide sufficient land at a minimum of 12 du/ac for the affordable housing <br />allocation of 50% Area Median Income (AMI ) and below and sufficient land at a minimum <br />of 6 du/ac for the affordable housing allocation between 51% and 80% AMI. Arden Hills has <br />proposed to use Option 2 to achieve the affordable housing allocation. For more <br />information, see Chapter 7: Housing of the Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br /> <br />8 Available at https://www.metrotransit.org/Data/Sites/1/media/abrt/aline/20160913_final-a-line-extension- <br />evaluation.pdf. <br />9 Available at <br />https://www.eqb.state.mn.us/sites/default/files/documents/AUAR%20guidance%20(form)%20-9-09.pdf. <br />10 Available at https://www.cityofardenhills.org/451/2040-Comprehensive-Plan.
