Minnesota state law requires that all communities within the Minneapolis-St. Paul <br /> metropolitan area update their Comprehensive Plans every ten years. <br /> 2. The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to establish the policies that guide the future <br /> physical and community development of Arden Hills. <br /> 3.

The proposed amendment only affects the High Density Land Uses. <br /> 5. The proposed amendment only effects land guided for High Density south of Highways 96 <br /> and 10. <br /> 6. The proposed amended language has been vetted and is supported by the Metropolitan <br /> Council. <br /> Notice and Public Comments <br /> Notice was published in the Pioneer Press on April 4, 2020 and April I7'h 2020.
