City of Arden Hills - 2030 Comprehensive Plan The potential impacts of the AHATS master plan have not been fully evaluated, but it will increase use and workers on the National Guard property. The City seeks to maintain a working relationship with the Minnesota National Guard on planning activities and to potentially collaborate on a community center as part of the training facility. 5.1.3 City of Arden Hills In 1994, the federal government formally declared 774 acres of the TCAAP property as excess that was to be sold. In order to have a more proactive and holistic planning process for the excess property, the City, along with a private developer, entered into a purchase agreement with the federal government in 2007 to purchase 585 acres of land adjacent to Interstate 35W and Highway 10 (Figure 5.2). Various redevelopment plans have been in progress since the early 1980s, including the Vento Reuse Plan and the Framework Vision. Redevelopment plans continue to evolve as transfer of the land to the City draws closer. In 2007, the City initiated a more detailed community planning process to better define how the 585 acres should be redeveloped. While a final land use plan will not be approved in time for inclusion in this Comprehensive Plan, approximately 49 acres will be transferred to Ramsey County for a wildlife corridor connecting Rice Creek to the AHATS property and 76.5 acres in the northeastern part of the property will be used for an undetermined public use. Once the City adopts a land use redevelopment plan, the Comprehensive Plan will be amended to include any required data, including approved land uses, housing densities, transportation infrastructure, traffic generation, parks, open spaces, and water resource data. In preparation for that amendment, this Comprehensive Plan includes the overall vision for the redevelopment area, preliminary elements from the potential reuse plan, future land use designations, and the next steps in the property's redevelopment. Since it is the City's goal to fully incorporate the TCAAP property into the fabric of the community, the land use, housing, parks and open space, transportation, and other components of the proposed TCAAP redevelopment have been integrated into their respective chapters. The overall City vision, goals, and policies of each chapter apply to the entire TCAAP redevelopment. Approved : September Z8, Z049 5-3
