This plan will also help ensure appropriat occurs and is in line with the vision set forth by the City of A property, Ramsey County. It is the goal of this pro that is sensitive to the natural environment, economically susta environmentally sustainable and provide for a range of uses and A comprehensive community process resulted in a long-term vision for the redevelopment of this brownfield ammunitions plant site into a true mixed-use village that incorporates regional employment, shopping and dining and a variety of housing options This document provides the regulatory tools for redevelopment consistent with the TCAAP Master Plan for this area. Excerpts (concept plans, sketches and renderings) from the TCAAP Master Plan are used throughout the document to provide guidance to property developers on the development intent and are not to be construed as regulatory. 1.1Purpose and Intent The purpose of the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC) is to implement the vision for a more walkable, mixed-use and vibrant TCAAP development ) by: (a) Coordinating public and private investments for the greatest eff including the investments already underway on site; (b) Providing more mobility options; (c) Creating equitable, sustainable and affordable development optio. Therefore, the goals of the TRC are to promote and to provide a more functional and attractive community through the use of recognized urban design principles and allow property owners, applicants or developers flexibility in land use, while prescribing a higher level of detail in building design and form than in the current standards of the Arden Hills City Code (AHC). The standards in this code are not intended to stifle creativity nor over- regulate building design but rather encourage better functional and to create higher quality pedestrian environments along most streets. 1.2Relationship to Adopted Plans (a) Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan: In addition to implementing several goals of the Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan, the TRC specifically implements the following goals: 1. Develop and maintain a land use pattern that strengthens the vitality, quality, and character of the residential neighborhoods, commercial districts and industrial areas, to develop a sustainable pattern for future development. TCAAP Redevelopment Code Page | 4 DRAFT August 13, 2014 2. Develop TCAAP in a way that accommodates a mix of land uses thatensitive to the natural environment, economically sustainable and a benefit to the community. 3. Promote the development, redevelopment and maintenance of a viab innovative and diverse business environment that serves Arden Hills and the metropolitan area. 4. Develop and maintain a strong, vital, diverse and stable housing supply for all members of the community. 5. Enhance the health, safety and well-being of all who live, work and play in the City. 6. Create a comprehensive, maintained and interconnected system of pathways and open spaces, as well as a balanced program of recreational activities for residents of all ages, incomes and abilities. 7. cluding open spaces, lakes, wetlands other significant natural features, and historic resources. TCAAP Redevelopment Code Page | 5 DRAFT August 13, 2014 2.0Components of the Code 2.1 The Regulating Plan The TCAAP Redevelopment Regulating Plan map (herein known as the Regulating Plan) (Attachment 1) is hereby adopted as the official zoning map for the Plan Area. Within any area subject to the approved Regulating Plan, this TRC becomes the exclusive and mandatory regulation unless specified in Section 3.2. It shall establish the following development standards for all properties within the Plan Area: (a)Establishment of TCAAP Zoning Districts The Plan Area is distinguished into different specialized zoning districts. Each zoning district is intended to create a distinct development pattern based on the TCAAP Master Plan for different sections within the Plan Area. Each zoning district shall establish use and building development standards including standards for building height, bulk, location, functional design and parking. The Regulating Plan classifies all lots within the Plan Area into one of the following seven (7) zoning districts: 1) Campus Commercial (CC) The Campus Commercial Zoning District facilitates a building format that allows multiple, single tenant buildings or The goal is to allow for an individual plan approach for each campus or building, based on user preferences of requirements. 2) Town Center (TC) The Town Center Zoning District creates a vibrant mixed-use environment that maximizes the potential for an outdoor experience, focusing on walkability. This district promotes phased development over time flexibility for horizontal or vertical mixed-use as development continues over time. 3) Office Mixed-Use (OMU) The Office Mixed-Use Zoning District creates a flexible zone that allows and promotes a seamless transition fro- Use but focuses on employment and other compatible uses. This district promotes employment as a primary use, but allows for other uses to be inc vertical mixed-use buildings. 4) Retail Mixed Use (RMU) The Retail Mixed-Use Zoning District creates a flexible zone that allows and promotes a seamless transition from Office Mixed-Use but focuses on retail and compatible uses. This district promotes re use and allows for other uses to be incorporated as vertical mixed-use buildings. 5) Flex Office (FO) The Flex Office Zoning District creates an opportunity for large scale development for employment, manufacturing and warehouse us advantage of the highway frontage and automobile access. 6) Neighborhood Transition (NT) The Neighborhood Transition Zoning District provides for a range of urban residential (live-work, townhomes, duplexes, patio homes, manor homes, etc.) transitions between the active retail and employment mixed-use districts and adjoining single-family neighborhoods. Development standards in this district emphasize smaller scale urban residential uses and establish building transition standards to adjoining neighborhoods. 7) Neighborhood (NB) The Neighborhood Zoning District provides for a range of attached and detached single-family residential as well as retirement housing. 8) Civic (CV) The Civic Zoning District provides for a location that is focuse public activities or structures. (b)Street Designations The Streets within TRC shall be classified in two different ways. TCAAP Redevelopment Code Page | 6 DRAFT August 13, 2014 1) Street Cross Sections shall address vehicular lane widths, number of lanes, pedestrian accommodation, street tree requirements, on-street parking, snow storage and parkway and median standards. These standards are laid out in Section 8.0 and Attachment 3. 2) Street Priority shall establish the phasing significance (Required or Recommende of different street segments within the Plan Area. Refer to Section 8.0: Street Design Standards and Attachment 3 for the detailed regulations. (c)Building Frontage Standards Building Frontage designations shall classify different block frontages based on the pedestrian priority goals of the TCAAP Master Plan on the Regulating Plan (Attachment 1). They shall be classified into one of three frontage designations: (i) Pedestrian Priority Frontage with the highest quality standards for pedestrian-oriented building design; (ii) Pedestrian-Friendly Frontage that balances pedestrian-oriented building design standards while accommodating some serv and parking functions; and (iii) General Frontage which mainly accommodates service, utilities and parking functions. (d)Open Space Designation Open Space within the TRC shall be categorized as Required Open Space. The detailed Open Space Standards for different open space types are included in Section 9.0 and Attachment 4 of this Code. These standards include general character, typical size, frontage requtypical uses. (e)Gateway Overlay Designation The Gateway Overlay Designation indicates where additional aesthetic treatments are required to create a welcomi establishes the character of TCAAP Redevelopment Area. The specific standards are included in Section 7.4 of this Code. 2.2Development Standards: The TRC text portion of this Code enumerates the development standards with text and graphics for Zoning Districts, Frontage Types, building form, landscape, building design, signage and lighting. 2.3Using This Document The following basic steps should be followed to determine the us standards applicable on property within the Plan Area: (a) Review Table 3-1 to evaluate the applicability of the TRC based on scope of the proposed development. (b) Locate the subject property on the Regulating Plan (Attachment 1). (c) Identify the Zoning District in which the property is located. (d) Review the Schedule of Uses by Zoning District as listed in Table 5-1 to determine allowed uses. (e) Examine the corresponding zone standards in the Building and Site Development Standards in Section 6 to determine the applicable development standards and any Frontage standards. (f) Refer to Section 7.0 for Building Design Standards The information listed in these graphics explain where the build limits on its physical form, the range of uses and the palette o TCAAP Redevelopment Code Page | 7 DRAFT August 13, 2014 3.0Administration 3.1Applicability (a)The uses and buildings on all properties within TRC zoning classifications shall conform exclusively to this Code unless specifically referenced as otherwise in this Code. (b)Table 3-1 (Applicability Matrix) shall determine the extent to which different sections of the TRC apply to any proposed development. (c)In addition, Table 3-2 shall determine which sections of the TRC apply at which time in the development review process such as Subdivision Review, Site Plan Review or Building Permit Review. (d)Provisions of the TRC or when recommended or optional. (e)Terms used throughout the TRC are defined in Section 4.0: Definitions. For those terms not defined in Section 4.0: Definitions, definitions in various sections of the AHC shall apply. For terms not defined in either section, they shall be ac accepted meanings. In the event of conflict, the definitions of the TRC shall take precedence. (f)Where in conflict, numerical metrics shall take precedence over graphic metrics. 3.2Relationship to other city ordinances (a)For all properties zoned as TRC, the standards in this document shall supersede standards under: i. Commercial Design Standards under Chapter 13, of the AHC, as amended, except as specifically referenced herein. ii.
