If Ramsey County and the National Guard receive the requested land, the developable area would be reduced by about 30 acres. The 50 acre Wildlife Corridor and the Primer Tracer area had already been designated as park and open space. As of the writing of this memorandum, the decision regarding the land requests had not been finalized. Notable Changes Since the March 3 Planning Commission Worksession Based on the comments from previous City Council and EDC meetings, there have been a number of changes to the proposed regulations. Minor corrections, changes, and formatting adjustments are not included in the below outline. The notable changes since March 3 are as follows: • Section 1320.04—Purpose of Districts o Subd. 16 and 17—The Mixed Residential District and the Mixed Business District were separated into different subdivions to more clearly show that two new zoning districts are being created. o The purpose, "To integrate a development on the former TCAAP property with the developed part of Arden Hills",was added to both subdivisions. • Section 1320.05 —Land Use Chart o The planning consultant is assisting staff in drafting the land use chart. • Section 1320.135 Subd. 53—Land Use Component: Prohibited Uses o Adult uses were added as a prohibited use. o Gambling was suggested to be listed as a prohibited use; however, this would also limit such items as bingo,pull tabs, and charity events that may include gambling. Typically, gambling activities are not regulated in the zoning code but instead have their own specific set of regulations for licensing such activities. Arden Hills already regulates gambling in the City Code. • Section 1320.135 Subd. 5.0—Land Use Component: Mixed Residential o A cap of 1,500 dwelling units was added to part ii, which previously had a placeholder. This number is based on recent direction from the City Council. The dwelling units include single family homes, two-family homes, and townhomes. o A cap of not more than 30 percent of the dwelling units could be in multiple dwelling structures was added to part iii. This excludes institutional housing, which includes nursing homes. A multiple dwelling structure only includes those buildings with three or more units. Townhomes that are attached but have separate entrances are not considered multiple dwelling structures in the existing Zoning Code. o Part iv was added to provide guidance on locating multiple dwelling structures.
