City of Arden Hills - Comprehensive Plan - DRAFT Council, the City is not required to raise densities in the built portion of Arden Hills. However, all future land uses will be able to accommodate development aUhree .units per net residential acre, There are no expected land use changes that would result in a reduction in net residential density in the developed part of Arden Hills. Furthermore. the remainlno vacant residential land that is.south of Highway 96 and 10 is already zoned for de\teiopment that could be built at .;!density"of at least three per acre. The unapproved concept plan for the TCMP property includes 168 acres of residential area and 1,750 residential units for a preliminary average density of 10.4 units per net residential acre. This density is only preliminary because wetlands, parks, and protected natural areas have not been removed from the 168 acres that are anticipated to be used for residential development. The densities in the residential areas will be varied to allow for a variety of housing types. 6.4.9 Staged Development As previously noted, the development timeline for the proposed TCAAP redevelopment is not yet known. The land uses provided in this Comprehensive Plan for TCMP have not been approved by the City and have only been included to provide context for the reuse of the TCMP property. Commercial or residential deveiopment on TCAAP will not start before 2009 with completion before 2030 depending on market conditions. Once a land use plan for the TCMP property is approved, a staged development plan that addresses land use and infrastructure impacts in five year increments will be included with an amendment to this Comprehensive Plan. The entire property is within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The areas south of Highways 96 and 10 are considered fully developed. While a small amount of vacant land exists in the developed portion of the City, development on the vacant land is unlikely to have a significant impact on the City's or Metropolitan Council's infrastructure.
