City of Arden Hills - 2030 Comprehensive Plan <br />residential acre required by the Metropolitan Council, the City is not required to <br />raise densities in the built portion of Arden Hills. However, all future land uses <br />should be able to accommodate development in average of three units per net <br />residential acre. <br />There are no expected land use changes that would result in a reduction in net <br />residential density in the developed part of Arden Hills. Furthermore, the <br />remaining vacant residential land that is south of Highway 96 and 10 is already <br />zoned for development that could be built at a density of an average of three <br />residential units per acre. <br />The unapproved concept plan for the TCAAP property includes 168 acres of <br />residential area and 1,750 residential units for a preliminary average density of <br />10.4 units per net residential acre. This density is only preliminary because <br />wetlands, parks, and protected natural areas have not been removed from the <br />168 acres that are anticipated to be used for residential development. The <br />densities in the residential areas will be varied to allow for a variety of housing <br />types. <br />6.4.9 Staged Development <br />Since the areas south of Highways 96 and 10 are considered fully developed and <br />there is relatively little vacant property, a five year staged development has not <br />been developed. While a small amount of vacant land exists in the developed <br />portion of the City, development on the vacant land is unlikely to have a <br />significant impact on the City's or region's infrastructure. <br />As previously noted the development timeline for the proposed TCAAP <br />redevelopment is not yet known. The land uses provided in this Comprehensive <br />Plan for TCAAP have not been approved by the City and have only been <br />included to provide context for the reuse of the TCAAP property. Commercial or <br />residential development on TCAAP will not start before 2009 and completion is <br />anticipated to take ten to twenty years depending on market conditions. Once a <br />land use plan for the TCAAP property is approved, a staged development plan <br />that addresses land use and infrastructure impacts in five year increments will be <br />included with an amendment to this Comprehensive Plan. <br />Approved: September 28, 2009 <br />6-12 <br />
