<br />-.,) <br /> <br />VI. FUTURE CHALLENGES <br /> <br />The stability, strong ownership and reinvestment of homeowners in Arden Hills <br />are evidenced by the dataslrowIJ above. Th",efactors-strength,," ue;glJLolhoods <br />and the housing stock in the community. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />South of Highway 96 there are limited opportunities for housing development or <br />redevelopment. Approximately 35 acres of vacant residential land in three <br />different areas is left for development south of Highway 96. <br /> <br />Four hundred and forty-five (445) acres of the TCAAP area are planned for a ~ <br />broad mix of housing types and sizes. Mixed and shared use arrangements will ) <br />also be considered. It is anticipated that higher density residential development ( <br />will occur near public transit and employment and commercial concentrations. <br />The "Civic Center" area ofTCAAP will include some high density residential <br />development adjacent to the commercial and institutional uses. TCAAP is entirely J <br />within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary, enabling <br />development at urban densities. ~ <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />;) <br /> <br />Since TCAAP will be developed over a long period of time and it is uncertain <br />how and when areas will become available for development, this plan does not <br />identify where specific types ofresidentialland uses will occur within TCAAP. <br />Rather, general residential areas are identified. This enables the City to adjust to <br />long term market changes without negatively impacting the plan as a whole. <br /> <br />The quality of neighborhoods and housing stock in Arden Hills is very good. As <br />a result, no redevelopment is planned in residential areas. Some individual <br />homeowners may need assistance in the maintenance and improvement of <br />housing through local and collaborative programs. These may take the form of <br />home improvement fairs, creating revolving loan funds and/or working with <br />surrounding communities and the Ramsey County Housing and Redevelopment <br />Authority (HRA) to support reinvestment. It will be important to keep the <br />housing stock in good repair as it continues to age. To this end it is imperative <br />that the City, either individually or collaboratively, monitor the condition of the <br />housing stock as its ages. <br /> <br />.,J <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan - 1998 <br />Housing <br /> <br />Page 38 <br /> <br />. <br />
