is not proposed to change; the quality of the development and site design features are anticipated to generally enhance the aesthetics of the site and surrounding area; the impacts on Lake Johanna and water quality will be improved by increased storm water management and setbacks to the lake; and the quality of building materials, setbacks to property lines, and quantities of landscaping materials exceed the requirements of the Zoning Code. 29. The application is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan because the future land use designation and past City approvals have all guided the site towards assisted and independent senior housing. 30. The Master PUD and Final PUD advance the City's goals outlined in the Comprehensive Plan by promoting the development of a variety of housing options; preserving and increasing high quality housing opportunities that are suitable for a mix of ages, incomes and household types; encouraging the incorporation of affordable, life cycle, and work- force housing into new development and redevelopment where feasible; and promoting the protection of lakes and the natural environment. 31. The proposed development furthers the Metropolitan Council's target of 285 -800 new life -cycle housing units for Arden Hills by 2020. 32. The proposed redevelopment of the Property will not have a significant impact on traffic because the site does not currently negatively impact traffic, and the increase in 14 units would not have a noticeable effect on the immediate road system.
