Post, Interim City Administrato@ <br /> <br /> <br />Consultant Recommendation for Creation ofTCAAP Civic Center <br /> <br />Zoning District <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Backl!:round <br />As part of the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) re-use planning effort conducted <br />in 1995 and 1996, a portion of the acreage was identified for public and institutional land use. <br />This conceptual land use vision was reinforced when the City of Arden Hills submitted its <br />Comprehensive Plan update to the Metropolitan Council in late 1998. <br /> <br />Issue <br />Future identified public and institutional land use areas on TCAAP are not supported by <br />consistent zoning requirements. Recognizing both this fact and the probability ofland <br />conveyances from the Army to both the City of Arden Hills and Ramsey County for one land <br />area occurring in the near future, the City requested proposals for planning services on June 25, <br />1999. <br /> <br />Revised Timetable <br />The original timetable distributed with the Request for Proposals (RFP's) called for consultant <br />selection and contract appraisal on August 9, 1999. Because of staff turnover, I would suggest <br />the following revised timetable. <br /> <br />1. <br />2. <br />3. <br />4. <br />5. <br /> <br />Activitv <br />Vendor selection/Contract approval <br />Commence update of Comprehensive Plan <br />Presentation of draft Zoning Districts to Council <br />Public Hearing before Planning Commission <br />City Council approval of Zoning District <br /> <br />Orilrlnal <br />8/09/99 <br />8/ I 0/99 <br />9/20/99 <br />10/06/99 <br />10/25/99 <br /> <br />Revised <br />8/30/99 <br />8/31/99 <br />10/18/99 <br />11/03/99 <br />11/29/99 <br /> <br />Staff Review of Submitted RFP's <br />The City received and reviewed RFP's from three (3) firms: BRW, MFRA, and Resource <br />Strategies Corporation (RSC).
