City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved: November 2019 <br />6-20 <br /> <br />6.4.10 Development Capacity and Net Residential <br />Density <br /> <br />The Metropolitan Council’s Thrive MSP 2040 assigns a community designation of <br />“suburban” which requires an average net residential density of at least five units <br />per net residential acre. Densities lower than this are not an efficient use of the <br />region’s sanitary sewer infrastructure. Net residential acreage is calculated by <br />subtracting wetlands, water bodies, public parks, arterial streets, and identified <br />natural resources that are protected by ordinance from gross acres. The number <br />of net residential acres is then divided by the number of lots to determine net <br />residential density. <br /> <br />According to the 2016 land use data provided by the Metropolitan Council, there <br />were 1,362 acres of net residential land in Arden Hills, which includes the rights- <br />of-way of adjacent City streets. The Metropolitan Council lists 3,198 housing <br />units in Arden Hills in 2015. Based on that information, the residential density in <br />the developed portion of Arden Hills is approximately 2.35 residential units per <br />net residential acre. While this is below the five units per net residential acre <br />required by the Metropolitan Council, the City is not required to raise densities in <br />the built portion of Arden Hills. However, all future land uses should be able to <br />accommodate development in average of five units per net residential acre. <br /> <br />There are no expected land use changes that would result in a reduction in net <br />residential density in the developed part of Arden Hills. Furthermore, the <br />remaining vacant residential land that is south of Highway 96 and 10 is guided for <br />development that could be built at a density of an average of five residential units <br />per acre. Land guided for High Density south of Highway 96 and 10 density may <br />be increased by up to 100% through the use of the Planned Unit Development <br />(PUD) process if the intent is to meet the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The <br />City Code includes PUD regulations that allow for a higher quality and compatible <br />development of property by encouraging reasonable flexibility from applicable <br />standards, including at higher densities than would be allowed under the <br />underlying zoning district and/or guided land use designation. The City has <br />utilized PUDs and PUD Overlays for many residential and commercial <br />developments, which is a trend that is likely to continue into the future given the <br />limited size and amount of land available for new development and potential <br />redevelopment south of Highway 96 and 10. <br /> <br />Land guided for Community Mixed-Use east of Snelling Ave and south of County <br />Road E, in the area called out as “Guiding Plan for the B-2 District on Figure 6-6, <br />density may be increased by up to 15% using the Planned Unit Development
