<br />City of Arden Hills ~ Comprehensive Plan ~ DRAFT <br /> <br />The residential component of the TCAAP site will offer a future mix of housing that <br />will compliment Arden Hills' current supply of predominately single-family detached <br />housing. It will provide opportunities to address the changing needs of the local <br />population and it will attract new people to the community. Combined with the <br />City's efforts to maintain the current supply of housing, the development of the <br />TCAAP site will further strengthen Arden Hills' position in the marketplace as a <br />highly desirable place to live. <br /> <br />7.6 Implementation Strategies <br /> <br />In order to advance the policies and ideas identified in this chapter, the following <br />implementation strategies could be used: <br />. Review City codes to consider and encourage a range of housing <br />opportunities and innovative site design. <br />. Educate property owners and residents on housing and property maintenance <br />codes. <br />. Explore the adoption of a rental licensing code to ensure the functionality and <br />maintenance of rental properties. <br />Explore the adoption of an administrative fining program to deter ongoing <br />nuisance and property maintenance issues. <br />. Promote the use of high quality materials in new housing construction to <br />minimize long-term deterioration of the housing stock. <br />. Ensure safety, livability and durability of the housing stock through <br />enforcement of the Minnesota State Building Code. <br />Develop regulations that prohibit the construction of housing that is not <br />compatible with the scale of the existing neighborhood. <br />. Develop standards for protecting lakes, wetlands, trees, and other open <br />spaces during redevelopments and infill projects. <br />. Consider establishing architectural guidelines for new developments and <br />redevelopments. <br />. Pursue orants or other oP.RQrtunities thatmomote the construction of <br />affordable housino. <br /> <br />The above strategies should not be considered all-inclusive. New opportunities and <br />strategies should be identified to further advance the City's housing goal and <br />policies. <br /> <br />DRAFT <br />4/18/2008 <br /> <br />45 <br /> <br />I Formatted: Bullets and Numbering <br />
