<br />Page 2 of 15 <br /> <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment to amend Chapter 6 for the future land use designation in these <br />areas to be consistent with the proposed zoning and residential density. <br /> <br />TCAAP Joint Development Authority <br /> <br />In November 2012, the City Council approved a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) with Ramsey <br />County which establishes a partnership between the City of Arden Hills and Ramsey County <br />with the goal of the remediation and redevelopment of the 427-acre Twin Cities Army <br />Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) site. Under the JPA, the City and County created a Joint <br />Development Authority (JDA) that is the joint governing entity of the TCAAP site as allowed by <br />the Joint Powers Act and MN State Laws. The JDA is the authority responsible for, but not <br />limited to, environmental remediation, elimination of blight, infrastructure construction and <br />financing, comprehensive planning and zoning, and economic development and redevelopment. <br />The JDA Board is comprised of two County Commissioners, two City Councilmembers, and an <br />additional non-elected City appointee as the Chair. Key points of the JPA are as follows: <br />• The County will purchase the site from the U.S. Government and will work with <br />Bolander and Sons to remediate the site to a residential standard including the demolition <br />of remaining buildings. – Completed <br />• The City will prepare an AUAR and Master Plan. The Master Plan will be approved by <br />both the City and the County and will be implemented by the JDA. – Completed <br />• The City and County are responsible for installing their respective public infrastructure as <br />outlined by the JPA. TBD <br />Between 2013 – 2016, the City facilitated the process of developing the Master Plan for the <br />TCAAP site, which as noted above was the responsibility of the City under the JPA. Planning <br />elements of the Master Plan included defining the public engagement process, land use, circulation <br />and movement, utilities, environmental remediation, parks and open space, implementation plan, <br />and a regulatory plan. In 2016, the City adopted the TRC, Section 1380 of the zoning code which <br />includes the regulating plan, land use table, design standards, and other regulations related to land <br />development that are specific to the TCAAP site. The proposed 427-acre redevelopment referred <br />to as Rice Creek Commons will include: <br /> <br />• Retail, office, and light industrial development <br />• A town center <br />• Well-defined neighborhoods with architectural diversity <br />• A wide variety of housing options to serve young professionals, empty nesters, and seniors <br />• Abundant parks and open space <br />• Trails that provide for convenient and safe pedestrian access to commercial areas and other <br />site amenities <br /> <br />Through the JPA in the event the JDA believes the TCAAP Master Plan should be amended that <br />shall be referred to the City and County for review. The City maintains the responsibility for <br />processing TRC and Comprehensive Plan Amendments. As part of a TRC Amendment, the City
