City of Arden Hills - Comprehensive Plan - DRAFT Since the 2008 current land use data is based on actual land usage while the 1998 future land use data was based on what was anticipated to occur, the two data sets will not match. The differences between the two data sets are largely attributable to more accurate data in 2008, the acknowledgement of vacant land, and the delayed redevelopment of the TCMP property. The 2008 land use categories are more specific because existing land uses can be calculated while the 1998 future land use numbers were based on anticipated development The 2008 future land use data will again use the more general land use categories, similar to the 1998 future land use data. Since 1998, the available land use data has become more detailed and accurate. The availability of more accurate data is reflected in the water category. While yearly fluctuations may have contributed to the change in water cover, more accurate data is likely the reason for the 88 increase water cover. There were, however, a few developments between 1998 and 2008 that contributed to actual land use changes. The Hazelnut Park #3 subdivision and subsequent extension of Katie Lane increased the amount of land used for right-of-way while the road that connected Red Fox Road to Grey Fox Road was vacated. Of the 131 acres of vacant land in 2008, approximately 70 acres are zoned for residential, 40 acres are zoned commercial, and 21 acres are light industrial. The vacant land does not include the TCMP property, which is currently classified as public/institutionalland. The current land uses on the TCMP property are the most notable differences from what was expected in the 1998 future land uses. Since 1998, the number of acres that were anticipated to be part of the TCMP redevelopment has been reduced and the redevelopment delayed. While a specific redevelopment timeline for TCMP has not been set, much of the redevelopment is anticipated to occur in phases over the next ten to twenty years depending on market conditions. The 2003 existing land uses are classified into the following categories: 1. Single family detached (SFD) - includes all detached single family homes. 2. Single family attached (SFA) - includes all attached single family homes such as town homes with separate entrances. 3. Multiple family (MF) - includes apartment buildings and condominiums of more than one story. 4. Manufactured housing (MH) - includes manufactured and mobile homes in specialized parks.
