ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JANUARY 8, 2024 <br />13 <br />15. The proposed amendment in the City's TCAAP Redevelopment Code advances adopted <br />2040 Comprehensive Plan the goals and policies as set forth in Chapter 6 — Land Use and <br />Chapter 7 — Housing by broadening the housing types in the Neighborhood Residential <br />Zoning District. <br />16. Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code regulations require a public <br />hearing prior to action by the City Council. <br />17. If the zoning amendments were approved, the Developer would be required to submit a <br />land use application that would be subject to the formal review process. <br />18. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing for the Comprehensive Plan <br />Amendments, Rezoning and TRC Ordinance Amendments on December 6, 2023. <br />Community Development Director Jagoe explained the Planning Commission reviewed this <br />application at their December 6, 2023 meeting. At that time, they recommended approval of <br />Planning Case 23-021 for Comprehensive Plan Amendments, Rezoning, and TRC Code <br />Amendments to Chapter 13 by a 4-2 vote (Commissioner Wicklund abstained). The following are <br />motion language options for the City Council to consider. <br />MOTION: Councilmember Fabel moved and Councilmember Monson seconded a <br />motion to adopt Ordinance 2024-001 for Planning Case 23-021 for Zoning <br />Code Amendments to Chapter 13, Section 1380 - TCAAP Redevelopment <br />Code and Rezoning to add and amend language for residential land uses and <br />increase residential density up to 1,960 units within the regulating plan for <br />TCAAP. <br />Councilmember Monson explained she served on the JDA and she supported the proposed land <br />use and rezoning recommendations. She reported the previous Council's did a lot of work, which <br />included Councilmember Holden and Mayor Grant. She believed the City Council was now being <br />asked to carry the water the last mile because of the work that had already been done. She thanked <br />Councilmember Holden and Mayor Grant for all of the work they had done. She stated it was her <br />hope this motion would have the support of five votes. <br />Councilmember Rousseau indicated this project has been going on for a long time. She noted in <br />1941 the Army used eminent domain to take over this land. She recognized that this development <br />would be something new for Arden Hills. However, she believed it was a very exciting <br />opportunity for the City. <br />Councilmember Holden stated 1,960 units was a great number. She indicated her only concern <br />was with the fact there has been no negotiations between the City and the County. Rather there <br />has only been a concession to the County and the developer. She indicated 1,960 may be the best <br />number, but nothing has been vetted. She reported when 1,460 chosen by the previous Council, <br />this number was vetted, discussions were held with public safety and traffic studies were <br />completed. The City was told to not put 1,000 units in a three block area. She expressed concern <br />with the fact no vetting has occurred on the 1,960 number. She discussed how the previous <br />Council had park, trail and stormwater plans in place. She questioned what the rush was to move <br />this project forward given the fact the County didn't have enough money to build the spine road at <br />this time. <br />Councilmember Holden commented on how Arden Hills had nothing to do with affordable <br />housing or zoning for affordable housing, rather affordable housing was brought forward by <br />
