This section of the report outlines some of the actions that should be taken within the next few months: . Amend the Comprehensive Plan . Adopt two new zoning districts, the OS (Open Space) and the AR (Arsenal Redevelopment), and use them to rezone TCAAP. . Pursue special federal legislation that will require that TCAAP be excessed and redeveloped in accordance with the rules contained within the Base Realignment And Closure (BRAe) Act. This may mean designating or appointing a Local Redevelopment Authority, as prescribed under the BRAC rules. A. Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Changes The City should formally institute a process for amending the existing comprehensive plan to recognize the framework plan for reuse ofTCAAP. The Task Force should formally present the plan to the City's Planning Commission, which will hold public heariogs and make a recommendation for action to the City Council. The City Council must take formal action to adopt the amendment for it to have official status as policy of the City of Arden Hills. Following adoption of the amendment, the Planning Commission should undertake hearings related to changing the zoning applicable to TCAAP. At present, the property is zoned partly as R-I Residential and partly as 1-2 Industrial. Until TCAAP is actually excessed, redevelopment plans are further rermed and actual development is ripe to occur, the City should adopt an interim zoning pattern for the site, as follows: . The City should adopt a new zoning district, OS Open-Space, that permits only non-intrusive recreation activities (activities that do not degrade water quality, generate undue noise, promote erosion, threaten wildlife habitat, etc. such as interpretive centers, unpaved trails, canoeing and the like). That portion designated as Open Space Preserve in Plan 6e (or the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, if it differs from Plan 6e) should be zoned OS. . The City should adopt a second new zoning district, AR Arsenal Redevelopment, to act as a short-term holding district and long-term development district for TCAAP. The provisions of this district should require that all development occur in the form of planned developments that concur with the land-use recommendations in the framework plan and that are subject to City review, in a manner similar to that used within the GB Gateway Business District. All developable areas within the site, including those designated for public use, should be zoned using this district. OS Open-Space District The Zoning Ordinance should he amended as follows: .
