Ii .. I CITY OF ARDEN HILLS .- MEMORANDUM I DATE: November 12, 1996 TO: Mayor and City Council I FROM: Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Director~ I SUBJECT: Resolution 96-66, Metropolitan Livable Communities Act Reauest I The City Council is requested to adopt Resolution #96-66 (Exhibit A) establishing goals related to the implementation of the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act (the Act) for the calendar I year of 1997. Discussion I Given, that no significant movement has occurred on the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant, the Staff will not be recommending any modifications to the goals or the action plan for calendar 1997. The general framework for the City's participation in the Act for 1996 is as follows: .. 1. Given, that the City of Arden Hills south of Highway 96 is fully developed and that the potential for any meaningful number of new residential units lies with the development of I land north of Highway 96, the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP). The City's participation in the Act is linked to the residential component of the redevelopment of TCAAP. Also, the goals that are to be established in the Act are to be directly linked I to the creation of new residential units in TCAAP. As example, if the goals for affordability for Arden Hills is 50 percent, then 50 percent of the new residential units in I TCAAP would be available for affordable units, However, this would not guarantee the creation of affordable units. I 2. The City of Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1982, A component of that plan was the Land Use Plan. The Arden Hills Task Force is completing its recommendations on revising the land use plan for TCAAP. These recommendations I will ultimately be forwarded to the City for appropriate action. Also, the TCAAP Re- Utilization Committee, which was formed by Congressman Bruce Vento, has finalized its recommendations on a conceptual land use plan for TCAAP, and had forwarded them to I the Congressman for appropriate action. The Arden Hills Task Force and the TCAAP Re-Utilization Committee have accomplished an incredible amount of consensus on the two respective land use plans. However, the existing Land Use Plan of the City is still I the document in relationship to land use on TCAAP. Therefore, the existing land use plan is the document which will be used as a basis for participation in the Act, until a .. revised land use plan for TCAAP is officially adopted. I
