<br />Page 2 of 6 <br /> <br />Specific to this application, the Conservation District is guided by the Park Preserve future land <br />use classification in the Comprehensive Plan. The CD District only applies to the Arden Hills <br />Army Training Site (AHATS). In 2014, the City rezoned 2/3’s of the AHATS property to the <br />Conservation District and then in 2016 the remaining acreage was rezoned. The City did not <br />rezone the entire AHATS property originally in 2014 because Ramsey County was working with <br />the Federal Government to purchase some of the area to be incorporated into their park system. <br /> <br />The purpose of the Conservation District is “To provide a "holding" zone for federally owned lands <br />on the Arden Hills Army Training Site to ensure that future development is staged, maintains a <br />sustainable level of public expenditures for utilities and services, and protects those areas <br />generally determined to be unsuitable for development due to the presence of wetlands, <br />floodplains, steep slopes, certain drainage and soil conditions, and critical wildlife habitat.” The <br />chart below lists current permitted and conditional uses in the Conservation District: <br /> <br />Accessory Conditional Use Conditional Use (Accessory) <br />• Utility Distribution <br />Lines <br />• Utility Transmission <br />Lines <br />• Telecommunication <br />antennas, dishes, or <br />towers • Research and <br />Development Facility <br /> <br />
