If an innovative and beneiicial idea is proposed for the TCAAP property, the City has the ability to modify the regulations if needed. 2030 Comprehensive Plan The Arden Hills 2030 Comprehensive Plan was adopted in September 2009 and sets a twenty year vision for the community. For the TCAAP redevelopment, the Comprehensive Plan includes the following goal: Develop TCAAP in a way that accommodates a mix of land uses that is sensitive to the natural environment, economically sustainable, and a benefit to the community. To help accomplish this goal, the 2030 Future Land Use Map divides the TCAAP redevelopment into four categories: • Mixed Residential (�220 acres 1) — 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 (�240 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 TCA.AP property. • Park and O�en S�ace (�76 acres) — areas designated as public parks. • Park Preserve (�49 acres) — areas designated as natural or scenic areas that are to be preserved for public use or open space. While these land use categories were based on the mixed use development concept that was being prepared with the former developer, these categories still serve as the basis for a TCAAP redevelopment plan and allow the City to update the land use regulations for the TCAAP property. However, a comprehensive plan does not include such details as setbacks, design standards, landscaping requirements, or sign regulations that is the job of the Zoning Code. The Comprehensive Plan lays the foundation for the Zoning Code, and State Statute requires the zoning code to be in conformance with a city' s comprehensive plan. If necessary, the future land use map and categories can be amended at a later date, 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.
