Page 3 of 5 conflict between the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Code, the City is required to amend the Zoning Code to comply with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan and all its amendments must reflect the adopted regional policies in the Metropolitan Council’s system and policy plans. Local planning efforts are linked to the larger regional infrastructure of parks and trails, road networks, and wastewater infrastructure, and the City’s plan must conform to the regional vision. An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan requires a recommendation from the Planning Commission following a public hearing, and adoption of a resolution by the City Council. Adjacent communities must be given up to 60 days to review and comment on the proposed amendment before it can be reviewed and approved by the Metropolitan Council. The Metropolitan Council has the final determination as to whether to allow a CPA or not, though they provide great deference to the City as long as the proposed land use change does not have a negative impact on a regional system (i.e. transportation, sanitary sewer, and regional parks). Comprehensive Plan Amendment – Application Review 1. Future Land Use Designation For this application, Trident Development has requested that the 2040 future land use designation for the northwest corner of the Subject Property (i.e. approximately 10.75 acres) be amended from P/I, Public and Institutional to be guided as HDR, High Density Residential. The developed portion of the site (i.e. Church use, approximately 30 acres) would remain as is under the Public and Institutional land use designation. The Arden Hills 2040 Future Land Use Map would also be amended to reflect the change in land use classification. (Attachment E) • Public and Institutional (P/I) – Areas designated for uses such as government buildings, colleges, schools, and religious uses, but not medical uses. A Development intensity of up to 0.8 FAR may be allowed. • High Density Residential (HDR) – Townhome and multi-family residential land use category providing for densities of nine (9) to twelve (12) units per acre. The majority of the property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District. Approximately 6 acres of land at the northwest corner of the site adjacent to the Highway 96 and U.S. Highway 10 interchange is zoned B-1, Limited Business District. The property is also within 1,000 feet of Round Lake and would be subject to applicable Shoreland regulations. If the proposed amendment to the future land use designation was approved, the Applicant would include as part of their subsequent submittal a request to rezone the property to R-4, Multiple-Dwelling District to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
