City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved: November 2019 <br />6-1 <br />6. LAND USE <br /> <br />Goal: Develop and maintain a land use pattern that strengthens the vitality, quality, and <br />character of our residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and industrial areas <br />while protecting the community’s natural resources and developing a sustainable <br />pattern for future development. <br /> <br />To advance this land use goal, the following policies are proposed: <br />o Evaluate and amend the land use regulations to achieve the highest possible <br />development standards, enhance the natural environment, protect public <br />health, support a vital mix of land uses, and promote flexible approaches to <br />implement the Comprehensive Plan. <br />o Ensure that land use regulations promote development that is compatible with <br />nearby properties, neighborhood character, and natural features; minimize <br />pedestrian and vehicular conflict; and visually enhance development. <br />o Preserve the stability and quality of the city's neighborhoods while allowing for <br />redevelopment that is complimentary to existing development. <br />o Provide a balanced mix of residential, park, open space, and commercial land <br />uses. <br />o Construct new development at an average density of at least five residential <br />units per net residential acre. <br />o Explore the possibility of creating additional community gathering space in <br />conjunction with public or private organizations, including AHATS. <br /> <br />6.1 INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />Land use is a defining characteristic of a community. While land use does not operate <br />independently from the other characteristics that create a community, it is a binding <br />factor between transportation, housing, parks, paths, and other characteristics. <br />Through zoning, subdivision, and other land use regulations, a city has powerful tools to <br />guide the long-term, look, feel, and vitality of their community. <br /> <br />Despite the vacant TCAAP property (see Chapter 5), Arden Hills is classified as a fully <br />developed community with the community designation of “suburban” by the Metropolitan <br />Council’s Thrive MSP 2040 (Figure 6.1). The City is also entirely within the Metropolitan <br />Urban Service Area (MUSA). The areas south of Highways 96 and 10 were mostly <br />developed by the end of the 1970s, and less than three percent of the developable land <br />in that part of Arden Hills is vacant. Significant land use changes are not anticipated in <br />the developed part of Arden Hills; however, study areas have been identified in the <br />Future Land Use section of this chapter. The City seeks to take a proactive stance to <br />protect the high quality of life that residents have come to expect and to prepare for <br />potential redevelopment opportunities on TCAAP and throughout the community. <br /> $WWDFKPHQW%
