City of Arden Hills - 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> 6.5 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES <br /> In order to advance implementation of this land use chapter, the below activities are <br /> proposed. This list is not intended to be all-inclusive and additional activities that <br /> advance the land use goal are encouraged to be developed. <br /> o Update the City's Zoning Code to bring it into conformance with the land uses in <br /> the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> o Evaluate zoning regulations to ensure that sufficient buffers are provided <br /> between commercial, industrial, and residential uses to protect the character of <br /> the City's residential neighborhoods. <br /> o Develop a small area plan for the Red Fox/Grey Fox/Lexington Avenue business <br /> area to provide a more detailed redevelopment vision for incorporation into this <br /> Comprehensive Plan. <br /> o Develop design standards for commercial, industrial, and residential <br /> developments to ensure the construction of high-quality, sustainable, and <br /> aesthetically enhancing development. <br /> o Develop zoning regulations that restrict housing construction that is not sensitive <br /> to the character of the existing neighborhood. <br /> o Continue to enforce property maintenance codes to protect quality and property <br /> values in the City. <br /> o Implement design standards for the TCAAP development to create a cohesive <br /> character that compliments the established neighborhoods in the City. <br /> o Work to protect significant environmental features on the AHATS property as <br /> park preserve. <br /> o Work with the National Guard on the AHATS property to develop synergistic uses <br /> such as a community center. <br /> o Consider zoning changes to the B-4 District based on the City's vision for this <br /> area. <br /> o 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 /> o Evaluate the uses within the industrial zoning districts to emphasize employment <br /> uses. <br /> o Evaluate the uses within the commercial zoning districts to ensure that there are <br /> an appropriate amount of retail and hospitality opportunities within Arden Hills. <br /> The above strategies should not be considered all-inclusive. New opportunities and <br /> strategies should be identified to further advance the City's land use goal and policies. <br /> Approved: November 2019 <br /> 6-24 <br />
