<br />II. Site Overview <br /> <br />A. Local Land Use and Zoning <br /> <br />1. Existing Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br />The Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1981. This plan shows a mix of uses for TCAAP (Figure3): <br /> <br />. About one-third of the site, including the Marsden area wetlands, Sunfish Lake, part of the upland and <br />kame, <br />and the Rice Creek corridor, is designated for parks and open space. <br />. About one-fourth of the site is designated for industrial use. This area corresponds rougWy to the <br />currently <br />industrialized area in the southern and western portions of the site. <br />. Commercial uses are shown at the far southeastern comer as well as in the center of the site, where it <br />was <br />presumed major site-serving roads would cross. This central area also includes a site designated for "other <br />publici', probably for a school, as well as a site designated for "semi-public." <br />The rest of the site, including the remainder of the kame and an area of sensitive prairie potholes, is <br />designated <br />for residential use of varying densities. <br /> <br />It should be noted that this plan for TCAAP was prepared without detailed site analysis, under the assumption that <br />the site would remain in federal ownership indefInitely and would continue to be used as it is today. <br /> <br />2. Existing Arden Hills Zoning <br /> <br />The local Zoning Ordinance is typical of those found in largely "built" suburban communities. The ordinance <br />includes: <br />four residential classifications -- two essentially single-family, one for townhouses and other low-density <br />attached housing, and one for multi-family housing; <br />four business classifications -- one for offices, two for general business, and one designed specifically for <br />unified retail centers; <br />two industrial classifications, both geared toward what is commonly referred to as "light" industrial uses, <br />including office/showroom, warehouse, research and assembly; and <br />two flexible categories -- one (GB Gateway) designed specifically for the I-694/I-35 interchange area, the <br /> <br />other <br /> <br />(I-Flex) designed specifically to implement the Lexington Avenue Business Area Plan. <br /> <br />Camjros.
