City of Arden Hills - 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> housing, or properties that have traditionally been occupied with neighborhood <br /> services. Housing can be a component of the development but would not <br /> necessarily be the focal point. <br /> To date, the success of the Neighborhood Business land use designation has <br /> been mixed. Two projects have been developed under this zoning designation, <br /> and both resulted in the construction of small office buildings with a variety of <br /> services. However, neither of the projects focused on providing neighborhood <br /> level services. <br /> There are a number undeveloped Neighborhood Business properties on <br /> Cleveland Avenue south of County Road E-2 and the former City Hall/Public <br /> Works site south of Highway 96 at Hamline Avenue. The size, shape and <br /> proximity to residential uses limits the commercial redevelopment opportunities, <br /> and the City may choose to consider appropriate residential uses for these sites. <br /> 6.4.6 Developable Gateway Business Properties <br /> There is about 35 acres of undeveloped land in the Gateway Business Zoning <br /> District northeast quadrant of Interstates 35W and 694. There are some <br /> wetlands and woodland that may influence future development, but considerate <br /> design may mitigate most impacts of development. The designation of this area <br /> is currently 1/0 — Light Industrial & Office. The City's vision is for these <br /> undeveloped properties to be developed for a corporate office or similar type use. <br /> A short-term implementation strategy for the Gateway Business area is to <br /> determine the highest and best use for the vacant properties on the south end of <br /> Gateway Blvd along 1-694 and rezone the properties accordingly. <br /> 6.4.7 Employment Zones and Consumer Zones <br /> The uses allowed in all the existing industrial zones and most of the commercial <br /> zones would allow for high economic activity uses adjacent to low economic <br /> activity uses. The uses allowed in some industrial zoning districts should be <br /> limited to create high economic activity districts with an emphasis on employment <br /> activities. Certain commercial zoning districts should be limited to encourage <br /> consumer-orientated uses. This employment versus consumer activity should be <br /> considered when revising the uses allowed in the various commercial and <br /> industrial zones. <br /> Approved: November 2019 <br /> 6-18 <br />
