ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 26, 2023 9 Community Development Director Jagoe commented in addition, this document also includes a development flowchart that outlines the approval processes for future land development of TCAAP that follows the terms as outlined in the JPA. Future development proposals for TCAAP conforming with the TRC (or within the flexibilities permitted) would fall under the purview and review of the JDA. As shown in the flowchart, the City maintains the responsibility for processing TRC Amendments (also elements not meeting allowed flexibilities). The JPA identifies two classifications of an Amendment to the TCAAP Master Plan: 1) Major Amendment or 2) Minor Amendment. A minor amendment does not involve an amendment to the City’s Comprehensive Plan and is a change within a Development Site (i.e. TRC Zoning Districts) deemed desirable by the JDA to implement the Development. The JDA shall recommend such minor amendments to the City and County, and if approved by both parties, the TCAAP Master Plan shall be modified consistent with the approved amendment. For the City, a TRC Amendment would follow our standard procedures for processing a land use application with a recommendation of the Planning Commission and City Council decision. As part of a TRC Amendment, the City will request confirmation of approval by Ramsey County. At their May 1, 2023 work session, the JDA discussed the Campus Commercial Zoning District and indicated support for the City to proceed with consideration for expanding the allowed uses in this district. Mayor Grant discussed the list of added uses, which included a microbrewery and a daycare. He noted this site was originally set aside to create jobs. He noted if a daycare were to come forward and this ordinance amendment were approved, the City would have no reason to deny the request. Community Development Director Jagoe reported this was the case, because a daycare would now be a permitted use subject to the design standards in the TRC. Councilmember Holden asked if the RFP was still out there for Ramsey County. Community Development Director Jagoe stated this was the case. Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 8:03 p.m. With no one coming forward to speak, Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 8:04 p.m. 10. NEW BUSINESS A. Planning Case 23-011 – Zoning Code Amendment To Chapter 13, Section 1380 TCAAP Redevelopment Code, Campus Commercial Zoning District • Ordinance 2023-006 – Amendments to Chapter 13, Section 1380, Subsection 5.1 and Subsection 5.2 • Authorization for Publication of Summary Ordinance 2023-006 Community Development Director Jagoe stated based on the JDA discussion, at their May 8, 2023 regular meeting, the City Council directed staff to bring forward the proposed ordinance amendment to the Planning Commission for the first review and to hold a public hearing. The land use types that have been identified to be included within the Campus Commercial Zoning District are those commercial land uses currently allowed within the TRC Zoning District Land Use Table. In 2015/16, one of the concepts discussed during the adoption of the Master Plan was
