be more about getting information out to the public and keeping the residents, businesses, and adjacent cities updated on the status of the project. When the City begins to work with a developer to formulate a detailed master plan for the TCAAP property, community input will again become essential. Comprehensive Plan The 2030 Comprehensive Plan is the guiding document for the City's Zoning Code. While State Statute requires that a zoning code to be in conformance with a city's comprehensive plan, there is quite a bit of flexibility in the Arden Hills 2030 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map in regards to TCAAP. Within the portion of TCAAP that may be redeveloped, the property is divided into two categories: • Mixed Residential (-240 acres)' — provides for a variety of housing types and densities in close proximity, including single-family detached homes, single-attached homes, condominiums, townhomes, apartments, and senior housing options. The anticipated average density is 10.4 units per acre with a minimum average density of six units per acre up to a maximum density of 46 units per acre. This land use is designated for the proposed TCAAP redevelopment, and the density is subject to change once a final land use plan is selected. • Mixed Business (-220 acres) — areas designated for a variety of businesses, including commercial, certain light industrial uses, warehousing, office, general business, retail. This designation will be used for the future business uses on the TCAAP property. These two categories were written based on the concept of a mixed use development that was being prepared with RRLD. Despite the changes to the TCAAP redevelopment process, these categories still serve as the basis for a TCAAP redevelopment plan and allow the City to adopt updated zoning regulations for the TCAAP property. If necessary, the definitions or borders of these future land use categories can be amended, subject to Metropolitan Council approval. As it stands, housing would be limited to the Mixed Residential area and businesses would be limited to the Mixed Business area. Once a final decision is made regarding the Ramsey County land use requests for parks and open space, it may be helpful to amend the Comprehensive Plan to include those areas, but that is not necessary at this time. Zoning Code Update A comprehensive plan does not include such details as setbacks, impervious coverage, landscaping requirements, or sign regulations that is the job of the Zoning Code. If RRLD had not withdrawn from the project, a detailed master development plan would have been created and translated into zoning regulations that would guide the TCAAP property redevelopment. The western and southern side of the TCAAP property is currently zoned I-2: General Industrial District (Attachment). The eastern side of the property is zoned R-1: Single Family Residential. 'The acreage has not been adjusted to account for the Ramsey County open space requests.
