City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved: November 2019 6-21 (PUD) process if the intent is to meet the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The City Code includes PUD regulations that allow for a higher quality and compatible development of property by encouraging reasonable flexibility from applicable standards, including at higher densities than would be allowed under the underlying zoning district and/or guided land use designation. The City has utilized PUDs and PUD Overlays for many residential and commercial developments, which is a trend that is likely to continue given the limited size and amount of land available for new development and potential redevelopment east of Snelling Ave and south of County Road E. The approved Master Plan for the TCAAP property includes 162.2 acres of residential land and a maximum of 1,460 residential units for an overall maximum gross density of 9.00 units per acre. The gross density includes the neighborhood collector roads; however, it excludes parks, arterial roads, and the water infrastructure. 6.4.11 Staged Development Since the areas south of Highways 96 and 10 are considered fully developed and there is relatively little vacant property, a five year staged development has not been developed. While a small amount of vacant land exists in the developed portion of the City, development on the vacant land is unlikely to have a significant impact on the City’s or region’s infrastructure. However, the City has identified areas likely available for redevelopment or new development during the 2040 planning period (Figure 6.7). As previously noted in Chapter 5 the demolition and remediation of the TCAAP site was completed in November 2015. Grading of the site and the construction of the main roadway are expected to begin in 2019. At this time, it is expected that private development will begin in late 2019 or 2020. The project is anticipated to be completed in phases over the next 10 to 20 years; however, the development timeline will depend on a number of conditions, including the market, transportation improvements, and other related factors. The B2 Zoning District and the Gateway Business areas are anticipated to be developed/redeveloped by 2030. Additionally, the City anticipates a 7-acre Medium-Density zoned area bound by Interstate 694 to the south and Snelling to be redeveloped during this time period. Within 20 years the City anticipates redevelopment within the Red Fox/Grey Fox/Lexington Avenue Business Area Again, the specific timing is dependent on a number of factors, but Table 6.4 summarizes the anticipated redevelopment acreage in the city by decade.
