<br />City of Arden Hills - Comprehensive Plan - DRAFT <br /> <br />redeveloped (map). The property was home to the Arden Hills City Hall <br />and Public Works for many years. While a redevelopment plan for this <br />property was not adopted in time for this Comprehensive Plan, residential <br />uses or a mix of residential and small-scale commercial uses are <br />anticipated. If developed as residential, the property would be developed <br />at a density of at least three units per acre. <br /> <br />6.4.3 B-2 General Business District Small Area Plan <br /> <br />In March 2008, the City initiated a visioning and small area planning <br />process for the B-2 General Business District, which is centered on <br />County Road E between Lexington Avenue and Hamline Avenue/Highway <br />51 (MAP). This area hosts a number of retail, service, and office uses. <br />Long considered the downtown of Arden Hills, the district is a mix of newer <br />and older buildings. As this corridor ages, redevelopment is anticipated. <br /> <br />The purpose of the planning process is to develop a long-term vision for <br />the future redevelopment of this corridor as well as address transportation, <br />land use, infrastructure, landscaping, and other issues related to this area. <br />The results of this study may be incorporated into the Comprehensive <br />Plan. <br /> <br />6.4.4 Lexington Avenue Small Area Plan <br /> <br />The industrial/office area between that is bounded by Lexington Avenue, <br />Hamline Avenue/Highway 51, Interstate 694, and the Canadian Pacific <br />railway (MAP).

This area was largely developed between the 1950s and 1970s. <br />While the areas good transportation access has helped continue to make <br />this area viable, some of the buildings are becoming functionally obsolete <br />for modern manufacturing and warehousing uses. As redevelopment <br />pressure increases, a small area plan may be required to <br />comprehensively address the overall redevelopment needs in this area of <br />the City. <br /> <br />6.4.5 Manufactured Home Community <br /> <br />The Arden Manor manufactured home community is an importance source <br />of affordable housing in the City. Bounded by Interstate 35W, Highway <br />96, and Highway 10, the neighborhood has begun to face pressure from <br />adjacent highways and land uses.
