<br />Introduction and Summary <br /> <br />In November 2007, the City of Arden Hills approved a moratorium on development and <br />redevelopment in the B2 Zoning District, which only exists in the vicinity of County <br />Road E between Lexington Avenue and Minnesota Highway 51. The purpose of the <br />moratorium was to provide time to create a long-term redevelopment plan for that area. <br /> <br />With great assistance from the community and the steering committee, a guiding plan that <br />addresses the complex issues of transportation, land use intensity, appearance, access and <br />long-term viability has been prepared. This plan will be instrumental in advancing a <br />community vision on how to redevelop and enhance the commercial properties north and <br />south of County Road E. <br /> <br />To guide the planning process and facilitate the meetings, the City retained McCombs <br />Frank Roos Associates (MFRA) to assist staff in preparing this plan. The MFRA <br />planning team included three sub-consultants: Maxfield Research for the residential and <br />commercial market study, Spack Consulting for the traffic analysis, and Hay Dobbs <br />Architects for illustrations. The steering committee included 15 members of the <br />community, including residents, businesses and property owners. Other landowners from <br />the study area also attended and participated in the committee meetings. <br /> <br />The planning process examined existing conditions, created a long-range redevelopment <br />vision and guiding principles, addressed transportation questions, evaluated market <br />potential, reviewed land uses and prepared design guidelines. The plan includes specific <br />recommendations, an implementation strategy and estimates of public costs. <br /> <br />OveraIl, the plan guides the way for the next major step in the evolution of the corridor <br />from "County Road E" to "Lake Johanna Boulevard" and a stronger sense of community <br />center. <br /> <br />Notable Findings and Recommendations <br /> <br />Guiding Principles <br /> <br />These principles will be used by the City of Arden Hills to help guide the evolution of the <br />B2 District including plans for land use, urban design, public facilities and circulation. <br />Elaboration and details will be added as the plan progresses. <br /> <br />· Place: Create a visual impression that the County Road E / Lake Johanna Boulevard <br />B2 District is a distinct, identifiable and special place in Arden Hills. <br /> <br />7 October <br /> <br />The New lake Johanna Boufevard 1-1 <br />
