<br />City of Arden Hills - Comprehensive Plan - DRAFT <br /> <br />maintenance a community concern. If Arden Hills' existing neighborhoods are <br />going to remain attractive places to live, owners will need to continue maintenance <br />and reinvestment efforts. <br /> <br />Encouraging housing maintenance can be done in two ways, either through <br />voluntary efforts or through regulatory requirements. Many communities rely on <br />both. Ideally, all residents will maintain their property in a sound and attractive <br />manner. Realistically, however. a small percentage of properties will not be <br />adequately maintained and in such cases. they can have a significant negative <br />impact on surrounding properties and even the neighborhood as a whole. <br /> <br />Arden Hills relies primarily on individual owners to maintain property. The City has <br />nuisance provisions in its local code, it enforces the Minnesota State Building <br />Code, and the International Property Maintenance Code was adopted in 2007. As <br />was noted in the housing policies, the City stands ready to consider the adoption of <br />a rental licensing code should it become necessary. Additionally, Arden Hills will <br />continue to work with programs offered by county, regional, state and federal <br />agencies as appropriate. Such programs are more iimited than they were in the <br />past due to changes in priorities and reductions in funding. <br /> <br />7.5 Future Opportunities <br /> <br />While Arden Hills does still have a number of smaller, infill vacant parcels south of <br />Highway 96, future housing opportunities will largely come from the development of <br />the TCMP site. TCMP offers an unparalleled opportunity to create an exciting <br />mix of housing integrated with employment, entertainment, recreation and transit <br />service. A definitive pian for TCMP is not part of this comprehensive plan update <br />but will be addressed in a subsequent amendment. <br /> <br />As it is currently envisioned, TCMP will include approximateiy 350 acres of <br />development area. Although not yet approved, the concept plan in 2007 included <br />168 acres of residential development and a potential for 1.750 housinq units. The <br />development would have an average gross density of at least six units per acre; <br />however. density will vary throuqhout the residential portion of the redevelopmenL <br />This deveiopment area has the potential to accommodate single-family housing on <br />a range of lot sizes, manor homes, townhomes, apartments, condominiums and <br />senior housing. The remaining developable land on the TCMP site may <br />accommodate retail uses, offices, a hotel, a variety of civic uses, parks, and other <br />open spaces. <br /> <br />The residential component of the TCMP 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 /> <br />DRAFT <br />5/15/2008 <br /> <br />( Deleted: with ~~- <br /> <br />r Deleted: ,with the potential for as "i.. <br />high as 43 units per acre in select i <br />,-areas. ___._) <br /> <br />45 <br />
