APPROVAL OF AGENDA – DECEMBER 7, 2016 Chair Thompson stated the agenda will stand as published. APPROVAL OF MINUTES November 9, 2016 – Planning Commission Regular Meeting Commissioner Jones requested the discussion regarding the entrance and retaining wall from County Road F be added to the minutes. Commissioner Jones moved, seconded by Commissioner Bartel, to approve the November 9, 2016, Planning Commission Regular Meeting as amended. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). PLANNING CASES A. Planning Case 16-023; Former Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Amendment to the TCAAP Redevelopment Code – Public Hearing ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – December 7, 2016 2 Interim City Planner Zweber stated In July 2015, the City adopted the TCAAP Redevelopment Code and Regulating Plan Map in order to guide the redevelopment of the 427-acre TCAAP site (Planning Case 15-015). The City also approved an amendment to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan at this time to incorporate the goals and policies within the TCAAP Master Plan and to ensure consistency between the Comprehensive Plan and the newly adopted zoning for the site. Interim City Planner Zweber explained the Joint Development Authority (JDA) selected Alatus, LLC as the Master Developer for the TCAAP property in May 2016. The JDA, which is made up of elected officials from the City and Ramsey County, is the body that will oversee the redevelopment of TCAAP. Interim City Planner Zweber indicated the Master Development Team has met in a series of work sessions with the City Council beginning in August 2016 to present their Master Plan for the site. In order to implement this plan, the Developer has identified areas within the TCAAP Redevelopment Code and Regulating Plan that would need to be amended. The changes to the zoning regulations would also necessitate a corresponding amendment to certain sections of the Comprehensive Plan. Interim City Planner Zweber reported the Comprehensive Plan is a policy document that reflects the City’s value system and creates a framework for the future by providing an overall vision for the City. Beyond these broad goals, the City adopted specific language into its 2015 Comprehensive Plan Amendment that acknowledged that the City would likely modify the Comprehensive Plan and Master Land Use Plan after a Master Developer was selected in consultation with that developer’s plans. Interim City Planner Zweber commented as part of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, changes to the Future Land Use Map are requested for the designations Neighborhood Residential, Town Center, Retail Mixed-Use, Office Mixed-Use, Flex Office, Public and Institutional, Utility, and Parks and Open Space is being proposed. No changes are requested for the Campus Commercial designation and the Neighborhood Transition designation is requested to be removed from the Future Land Use map and the Comprehensive Plan. The Developer has proposed a 1.6-acre Civic space in the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC) which is being proposed within the existing Public and Institutional designation. Interim City Planner Zweber stated the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment also includes updates to the following chapters and appendixes within the Comprehensive Plan to ensure compatibility with the TCAAP Master Plan: Chapter 5 – Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) Property Chapter 5 outlines the City’s policies regarding the redevelopment of the TCAAP property. The updates to this Chapter include updating the acreages of the land use designations, the status of the cleanup, status of infrastructure improvements, the selection of the Master Developer and the updates to the TRC reviewed at tonight’s public hearing. Chapter 6 – Land Use Chapter 6 outlines the City’s policies regarding land use. This chapter evaluates existing land uses and sets a vision for how the community should change over time. The Future Land Use Map and land use classifications have been updated to include the land use districts identified in ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – December 7, 2016 3 the TRC. The section on development capacity and net residential density has also be revised to reflect the forecasted number of residential acreage and units for the TCAAP site. Chapter 7 - Housing Chapter 7 discusses policies to maintain the existing housing stock and the construction of new housing, including at the TCAAP site. The updates include an update to the acreages and overall density of the residential development with the TCAAP site. Chapter 9 – Parks and Recreation Chapter 9 discusses the existing regional and local park and recreation system and the proposed upgrades to the City’s parks and pathways. This chapter has been updated to include the proposed trail improvements and required public parks and open spaces for the TCAAP redevelopment. The update includes adding the revised parks to the Existing and Proposed Park and Pathway System map. Appendix H – Zoning District Regulations Appendix H in the Comprehensive Plan outlines all zoning districts within the City. It should be noted that the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) will be contingent on final approval from the Metropolitan Council. Interim City Planner Zweber turned the discussion to the TCAAP Regulating Plan Amendments. He reported the City Council adopted a Regulating Plan in 2015 that provided the zoning for the 427 acre TCAAP parcel. The second component of Planning Case 16-024 is the rezoning of the 427 acre TCAAP parcel, based on the proposed Regulating Plan that has been included in the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC). The zoning districts depicted on the Regulating Plan for different areas within the TCAAP site will be incorporated within the City’s official Zoning Map. While the Comprehensive Plan Amendment will lay out the proposed future land uses for the TCAAP property, the revised Zoning Map will identify the specific zoning districts through which the land uses and goals for the TCAAP redevelopment will be implemented. He noted a pedestrian friendly walk-way that was mistakenly left off the plan. Staff reviewed the differences in the projected residential units for the existing and proposed Regulating Plan with the Commission. Interim City Planner Zweber explained the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC) establishes the development and design regulations for the 427 acre TCAAP property owned by Ramsey County. A redlined document showing the proposed changes to the 2015 TRC was provided to the Commission along with a clean copy of the proposed TRC. It was noted this document will implement the community’s goals and visions for the redevelopment site as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The regulations contained within the TRC are meant to promote functional and attractive development through the use of recognized community design principles. Interim City Planner Zweber reviewed the changes for each Section of the TRC in detail with the Commission, along with the updates made by the Council at their meeting dated Monday, December 5th. Interim City Planner Zweber provided the following Findings of Fact for review: ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – December 7, 2016 4 1. The proposed CPA, Rezoning, and TRC advance the City’s Comprehensive Plan to develop and maintain a land use pattern that strengthens the vitality, quality, and character of the residential neighborhoods, commercial districts and industrial areas, while protecting the community’s natural resources to develop a sustainable pattern for future development. 2. The proposed CPA, Rezoning, and TRC advance the City’s Comprehensive Plan to 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. 3. The proposed CPA, Rezoning, and TRC advance the City’s Comprehensive Plan to promote the development, redevelopment and maintenance of a viable, innovative, and diverse business environment that serves Arden Hills and the metropolitan area. 4. The proposed CPA, Rezoning, and TRC advance the City’s Comprehensive Plan to develop and maintain a strong, vital, diverse, and stable housing supply for all members of the community. 5. The proposed CPA, Rezoning, and TRC advance the City’s Comprehensive Plan to enhance the health, safety, and well-being of all who live, work, and play in the City. 6. The proposed CPA, Rezoning, and TRC advance the City’s Comprehensive Plan to create a comprehensive, maintained, and interconnected system of parks, pathways, and open spaces, as well as a balanced program of recreational activities for residents of all ages, incomes and abilities. 7. The proposed CPA, Rezoning, and TRC advance the City’s Comprehensive Plan to preserve, protect, and restore the community’s natural resources, including open spaces, lakes, wetlands, other significant natural features, and historic resources. 8. The proposed TRC implements the vision for a walkable, mixed-use, resilient, and vibrant TCAAP development. Interim City Planner Zweber stated staff recommends approval of Planning Case 16-024 for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezoning, and adoption of the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC) as Section 1380 of the Zoning Code, as presented in the December 7, 2016, Report to the Planning Commission. Interim City Planner Zweber reviewed the options available to the Planning Commission on this matter: 1. Recommend Approval as Presented 2. Recommend Approval with Additional Comments 3. Recommend Denial 4. Table Chair Thompson opened the floor to Commissioner comments. Commissioner Jones asked if the development would have a movie theater or stage theater. Interim City Planner Zweber explained both would be allowed on TCAAP. He noted a performing arts theater would also be allowed in the Civic district. Chair Thompson questioned how often the language on a marquee/electronic changeable copy sign could change. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – December 7, 2016 5 Interim City Planner Zweber reported the language could change once every 15 minutes. He explained that all electronic signs would have to follow the City’s current sign code. Commissioner Bartel discussed the survey results and believed the main issue brought up by residents was building height. He understood that some residents supported taller buildings while others did not. He requested further information from staff on why the building heights within the Town Center hand changed. Interim City Planner Zweber deferred this question to the developer. Commissioner Gehrig questioned if staff had any idea how much it would cost the City to provide core services to the TCAAP development based on the new plan. Interim City Planner Zweber stated there would only be a slight increase in density from the City’s 2015 plan. Bob Lux, Alatus, introduced himself to the Commission and explained that as the plans for this development evolved, he saw the need to be able to offer a variety of housing types. One of these housing types that was of interest was a condominium product constructed of concrete. This led him to request a 10-story building height. He believed the proposed building height standards would also allow the hotel owner greater flexibility. Commissioner Zimmerman asked if the developer had reviewed the topography of the Town Center properties from within and outside the development. He inquired if the developer had any idea how a 10-story building would look from surrounding properties. Mr. Lux explained a study had been completed that focused mainly on the views from offsite. He commented there would be little or no view of a 10-story building from offsite given the grade changes from County Road 96. He stated there would be a view of a 10-story building from Highway 10. However, he believed this would be a good way of drawing people into Town Center. He reported his development team fully supported the proposed building height. Chair Thompson requested further information on why the developer was proposing to build the condominiums out of concrete. Mr. Lux reported the cost of concrete construction was 30-40% more than a stick built structure. He stated concrete construction allowed for units to be extremely high quality and sound proof. Chair Thompson opened the public hearing at 7:23 p.m. Chair Thompson invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and make comment. Dorothy McClung, 4370 North Snelling Avenue, stated she has been involved in TCAAP discussions since the mid 1980’s. She discussed the numerous commissions she has served on over the years. She believed the plan before the Commission was both unique and reasonable. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – December 7, 2016 6 She hoped the site would be a draw for the community with restaurants and public transportation. She urged the Commission to support the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and TRC. Tony Novak, 4494 Royal Hills Drive, explained he and his wife have three young children and they were excited to see the TCAAP project being completed. He appreciated the unique mix of housing and uses on the site. He indicated he was an attorney by trade and believed the TRC was a high-quality document. He encouraged the Commission to approve the TRC. Jeff Holmes, 1804 Venus Avenue, reported he was in a relationship with one of the Councilmembers. He stated he was Minnesota born and has lived in Arden Hills for the past 28 years. He believed that for the most part the majority of residents supported the dynamic plans for TCAAP. He explained that he and his daughter were considering opening an eatery within TCAAP in the coming years. He stated he was really excited about the redevelopment of TCAAP and recommended the Commission offer their support. There being no additional comment Chair Thompson closed the public hearing at 7:31 p.m. Commissioner Jones supported the new unit sizes as proposed by the developer. Chair Thompson thanked staff for reviewing and updating the TRC in such a comprehensive manner. Commissioner Bartel believed the proposed TCAAP development met the City’s vision. He stated he supported the TRC and Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Commissioner Jones discussed the comments received from the public and was pleased to see there was general support. Commissioner Zimmerman indicated he too has been working on TCAAP for many years. He was excited by the potential of the development and offered his full support of staff’s recommendation. Chair Thompson stated she personally did not support a 10-story building on TCAAP at the beginning of the meeting. However, after discussing this matter further with the developer and staff she would be willing to offer her support. She asked how far the 10-story building would be from the adjacent neighborhoods. Mr. Lux estimated there would be 1,000 feet between the condominium building and the Creek neighborhood. Commissioner Gehrig believed the changes that had been made to the code were thoughtful. He thanked the residents for coming forward with their opinions and offered his support of the TRC. Chair Thompson requested the recommendations from the City Council dated December 5th be included in the motion for approval of the TRC. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – December 7, 2016 7 Commissioner Bartel moved and Commissioner Gehrig seconded a motion to recommend approval of Planning Case 16-024 for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezoning, and Adoption of the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC) as Section 1380 of the Zoning Code as presented in the December 7, 2016, Report to the Planning Commission, including the City Council discussion points dated December 5th. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS None. REPORTS A.

Since this is a minor amendment to the PUD, the Planning Commission is not required to review the amendment. In addition, the City Council reviewed the Final PUD Agreement for MedExpress (PC 16-024). They recommended that a condition be added to the PUD Agreement that required a sidewalk easement and cash escrow to allow for the construction of a sidewalk from Arden Plaza to the Red Cross site. The Planning Commission recommended approval (4-0) of this case at their meeting on October 5, 2016. Mayor Grant stated at the November 28, 2016 City Council Regular Meeting, the City Council reviewed and approved Planning Case 16-023 Minor Subdivision and Variance for 1401 County Road E. The Planning Commission recommended approval (6-0) of this case at their meeting on November 9, 2016.

C. Planning Commission Comments and Requests Commissioner Gehrig requested an update from staff on the University of Northwestern request. Interim City Planner Zweber reported he would address this question under staff comments. Chair Thompson encouraged those interested in serving on the Planning Commission to contact City Hall for further information. Mayor Grant explained the City was also seeking applications for those interested in serving as Chair of the JDA. D.

NO.: 6131.001.28 CLIENT: Boston Scientific PROJECT: Daycare parking lot SUBJECT: Land Use Application Narrative MEMO BY: Joe Ford, RSP Architects DATE: January 6, 2017 ATTENTION: Matthew Bachler, Senior Planner, City of Arden Hills COPY: Lorne Rothbauer, Boston Scientific Boston Scientific proposes to construct a new parking and drop-off area to the east of their existing Building 10, between the building and Innovation Way. The purpose of the new parking area is to provide off-street short-term parking and curbside drop-off for the day care facility on the first floor of Building 10. The off-street parking area will resolve existing safety issues where parents dropping off children for day care must use on-street stalls along Innovation Way and have to back into a traffic lane to exit the on- street stalls. The scope of the project includes: 7 parking stalls, 3 curb-side drop-off spaces, and associated driveways and sidewalks. Additional work includes landscaping and exterior lighting at the new parking and sidewalk areas. This map is a user generated static output from an Internet mapping site and is for reference only.

Staff requests that the Planning Commission table Planning Case 17-003 until such time that a full review can be completed. A motion to table to a future meeting is necessary because this item has already been noticed as a public hearing for this evening prior to it being pulled from the agenda. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for February 8, 2017 P:\Planning\Department Records\Quarterly & Year End Reports\2016 Page 1 of 3 MEMORANDUM DATE: February 8, 2017 PC Agenda Item 5.A TO: Planning Commission Chair Thompson and Commissioners FROM: Matthew Bachler, Senior Planner SUBJECT: 2016 Planning Commission Year-End Report Summary The purpose of this memo is to provide the Planning Commission with a summary of the planning activities for 2016.

The amendments were required to facilitate the redevelopment of the site by the Master Development Team, comprised of Alatus, LLC, Inland Development Partners, and Tradition Development Corporation. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment is currently being reviewed by adjacent municipalities and other affected jurisdictions, after which it will be submitted to the Metropolitan Council for review. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for February 8, 2017 P:\Planning\Department Records\Quarterly & Year End Reports\2016 Page 3 of 3 Land O’Lakes The City Council approved a Master PUD for the Land O’Lakes corporate headquarters consolidation plan on July 11, 2016. The approved PUD provided a general plan for the two phased development. The City Council subsequently approved Final PUD plans for both of these phases. The approved plans will allow Land O’Lakes to consolidate their Arden Hills and Shoreview locations into one campus at their existing Arden Hills property. The plans include the construction of a four-story, approximately 155,000 gross square foot office building and the expansion of surface parking lots on the campus Bremer Bank Redevelopment The Planning Commission recommended approval of proposed redevelopment plans for the Bremer Bank property at 4061 Lexington Avenue on November 8, 2016. The proposal includes the demolition of the existing bank building and construction of a new, 2,750 square foot bank facility, a 7,500 square foot multi-tenant commercial building, and an 11,500 square foot daycare facility. The City Council has not reviewed this planning case and it is still pending. Zoning or City Code Amendments The City approved the following amendments to the City Code over the last year: 1. Amendment to the Zoning Code to allow the City to opt-out of the requirements of Minnesota Statute regarding temporary family health care accessory dwellings. 2. Amendment to the City Code to adopt slow-no wake speed restrictions on Lake Johanna during specified high water periods. 3. Amendment to the Section 1380 of the Zoning Code (TCAAP Redevelopment Code) to facilitate the redevelopment of the 427-acre TCAAP property by the Master Development Team. 4. Amendment to the Zoning Code to remove references to the previous classification of the 427-acre TCAAP property as Mixed Residential District and Mixed Business District. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for February 8, 2017 P:\Planning\Planning Commission\Work Plan\2017 Page 1 of 2 MEMORANDUM DATE: February 8, 2017 PC Agenda Item 5.B TO: Planning Commission Chair Thompson and Commissioners FROM: Matthew Bachler, Senior Planner SUBJECT: 2017 Work Plan and Project Priorities Discussion Requested Action Review the draft 2017 Work Plan and provide input. Background The City Council will be asking the Planning Commission to join them for a joint Work Session later this spring to discuss the Work Plan for 2017. To assist in that discussion, staff would like the Planning Commission to provide input on topics that might be addressed at this meeting. While the Council will make the final determination as to the goals and priorities for the coming year, it will be useful for them to have input from the Planning Commission. Discussion The Planning Commission differs from the City’s other committees and commissions in that the purpose and scope of the Commission’s work is largely determined by State Statute. The majority of the Planning Commission work plan is dedicated to continuing the work of evaluating and providing recommendations on land use applications, zoning code amendments, and other planning related items that come before the City. 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update Cities in the seven-county metropolitan area are required by the Metropolitan Land Planning Act to update their Comprehensive Plans every 10 years. These updates are required to ensure consistency with the regional system plan that is prepared by the Metropolitan Council. The City of Arden Hills will commence a full update of its Comprehensive Plan this year to ensure that a new 2040 Comprehensive Plan can be adopted by the end of 2018. During this process, the Planning Commission will work with a consultant firm to be hired by the City on reviewing the City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for February 8, 2017 P:\Planning\Planning Commission\Work Plan\2017 Page 2 of 2 current Comprehensive Plan and making updates as needed based on recent trends in physical development and current and projected demographic data. Higher Education Study The City Council adopted an Interim Ordinance in October 2016 temporarily prohibiting land use applications and reviews for higher education uses in residential business, industrial, and other zones. The moratorium can remain in effect for up to 12 months to prepare a study on the impacts and benefits of higher education land uses. The Planning Commission will work with a consultant firm to be hired by the City on completing this study by September 2017. The Planning Commission may be asked to make recommendations to the City Council on possible Zoning Code or Comprehensive Plan amendments based on the report conclusions. Sign Code Over the last few years, the City has processed several applications requesting flexibility from regulations included in its Sign Code. The most common requests have been for additional wall or freestanding signage. In 2017, staff will work with the Planning Commission to complete a review of the existing Arden Hills Sign Code and how neighboring communities regulate signage. The Planning Commission will be asked to make recommendations to the City Council on possible updates to the Sign Code. Planning Commission Training Opportunities The League of Minnesota Cities offers an online learning land use series as part of their loss control program. All of the Planning Commissioners have completed the first course in the series. The League provides liability insurance to Arden Hills and has found that cities that have Commissioners who are educated about land use law are less likely to be sued or lose lawsuits when they are filed. If Commissioners are interested in taking the second course, which focuses on developing land use plans and regulations, staff can assist with registration. Government Training Services (GTS) also offers land use planning courses. Information regarding dates and locations for that series will be emailed to the Planning Commission as they are made available. These courses are designed for Councilmembers and Planning Commissioners, and are typically offered in full and half day sessions throughout the Twin Cities. The courses are well done and provide a wealth of information regarding land use fundamentals. Planning Commissioners are required to participate in at least one of the GTS courses during their term in order to be appointed to a subsequent term. The consulting and design firm, WSB & Associates, also offers educational opportunities for Planning Commissioners. Their Planning 101 course will be offered Saturday, April 1 from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. and is free of charge. Please contact staff for additional information on this course. Attachments A.

Background The Planning Commission’s work plan for 2015 included completing a review and update of the City’s Sign Code. Staff began work on this item last fall, with the first task being a review of planning cases from the previous five years that included a request to deviate from the Sign Code. The purpose of this review was to identify areas of the Sign Code that may not be consistent with what businesses currently need for signage. A table summarizing these cases is included in Attachment B. The City has approved 15 planning cases since 2012 that included the following breakdown of specific requests: • Greater area for wall sign: 7 cases • Greater area for freestanding sign: 4 cases • Greater height for freestanding sign: 2 cases • Longer display period for temporary sign: 3 cases • Greater area for temporary sign: 4 cases • Electronic sign: 1 case • Projecting sign: 1 case MEMORANDUM _________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for February 8, 2017 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2017\PC 17-004 - Sign Code Amendment\Memos_Reports_17-004 Page 2 of 3 Sign Code Review Staff compared the sign ordnances of the cities of Roseville, New Brighton, Shoreview and Mounds View to the current Arden Hills sign ordinance based on the most common types of deviations requested (Attachment C). The sign regulations included in the TCAAP Redevelopment Codes were also reviewed. The purpose of this comparison was to identify sections of the Sign Code that are or are not consistent with neighboring communities. Wall Signage Currently, the sign ordinance allows a set square footage of wall signage based on the sign district the property is located in. This can be problematic, as it does not account for different sized buildings within the same district. Mounds View is the only other city in the study that regulates wall signage in this manner. The other cities regulate the amount of wall signage permitted based on a percentage of the building square footage or façade area. This allows for signage that fits individual buildings best, rather than a one size fits all approach. The TCAAP Redevelopment Code uses a combination of both, allowing either a set square footage or percent of the façade area, whichever is less. Monument and Freestanding Signs A monument sign is a type of freestanding sign where the sign face is mounted on the ground or a base rather than a pole. Sign Districts 4 and 5 only allow monument signs for freestanding signs. For all districts, freestanding signs are allowed a set square footage and height based on the sign district the property is located in. While none of the other cities limit the style of freestanding signs to individual districts, Roseville, New Brighton and Mounds View all regulate them in the same manner as Arden Hills; a set square footage based on sign district. Shoreview allows a set square footage based on the gross floor area of the principal structure. The TCAAP Redevelopment Code allows a set square footage for “Highway Monument Signs” and a percentage of the street frontage for “Corridor Monument Signs.” Electronic/Dynamic Display Signs Currently, the Sign Code does not allow any electronic or dynamic display signs. All four cities that were reviewed allow for some type of dynamic display signs. They are regulated as follows: • Roseville: Must be static and remain for a minimum duration of 25 seconds. • New Brighton: No animation or video is permitted and a minimum duration of 8 seconds. • Shoreview: No animation or video is permitted and a minimum duration of 8 seconds. • Mounds View: Must be static and remain for a minimum duration of 8 seconds. • TCAAP Redevelopment Code: Allowed only on “Marquee Signs.” A Marquee Sign is located at a theatre or other public venue and displays the name of the establishment or event details. Message board may be changeable copy provided that the copy does not change more than once every 15 minutes. _________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for February 8, 2017 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2017\PC 17-004 - Sign Code Amendment\Memos_Reports_17-004 Page 3 of 3 Projecting Signs The Sign Code defines a projecting sign as a sign, other than a wall sign, that projects more than 18 inches from the building façade. These types of signs are not permitted in Arden Hills, New Brighton, or Shoreview. Roseville regulates them as a wall sign, and they may only project up to 30 inches from the building façade. Mounds View allows them with a set square footage by zoning district. The TCAAP Redevelopment Code allows the lesser of a set square footage or 15% of the façade area. They may project no more than 50% of the width of the sidewalk, or six feet from the building façade line, whichever is less. Temporary Signs For temporary signs, Arden Hills allows up to half of the area allowed for permanent wall or freestanding signage to be displayed on three occasions throughout the year, with a maximum of 10 days each time. Businesses may also combine the three occasions to display a temporary sign for one 30-day period per year.

City of Arden Hills Chapter 12 - Sign Code 12-1 Adopted: March 10, 2008 Chapter 12 - Sign Code Section 1200 – Purpose and Intent 1200.01 Recitals. This Chapter shall be known, cited and referred to as the Arden Hills Sign Code, except as referred to herein, where it shall be known as “this Chapter.” 1200.02 Purpose and Findings. The purpose and findings of this Chapter are as follows: Subd. 1 Purpose. This Sign Code is intended to establish a comprehensive and balanced system of sign control that accommodates the need for a well-maintained, safe, and attractive community, and the need for effective communications, including business identification. It is the intent of these sign regulations, to promote the health, safety, general welfare, aesthetics, and image of the community by regulating signs that are intended to communicate to the public in all areas of the City. It is not the purpose or intent of this Chapter to regulate the message displayed on any sign. The purpose of this Chapter is to authorize: A. Permanent signs which establish a high standard of aesthetics and are appropriate for the planned character in each sign district as established in Section 1240; B. Signs which are compatible with their surroundings; C. Signs which are designed, constructed, installed and maintained in a manner that does not adversely impact public safety or create a hazard to motorists, pedestrians, or cyclists; D. Signs that are proportioned to the scale of, and are architecturally compatible with, principal structures; E. Permanent signs which give preference to the on-premise owner or occupant; F. Temporary commercial signs and advertising displays which provide an opportunity to advertise while restricting signs that create visual clutter and hazards at public right-of-way intersections; G. Minimize adverse effects on nearby property; and, H. Provide for fair and consistent enforcement of the sign regulations set forth herein under the authority of the City. Subd. 2 Findings. The City finds it is necessary for the promotion and preservation of the public health, safety, welfare, and aesthetics of the community to control the construction, location, size, and maintenance of signs. Further, the City finds: City of Arden Hills Chapter 12 - Sign Code 12-2 Adopted: March 10, 2008 A. Permanent and temporary signs have a direct impact on and relationship to the image and aesthetic of the community; B. The manner of installation, location and maintenance of signs affects the public health, safety, welfare and aesthetics of the community; C. An opportunity for viable identification of community businesses, residences, and institutions must be established; D. The safety of motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and other users of public streets and property is affected by the number, size, location and appearance of signs that create a hazard for drivers, particularly from dynamic display signs; E. Installation of signs suspended from, projecting over, or placed on the tops of buildings, walks or other structures may constitute a hazard during periods of high winds and an obstacle to effective fire-fighting and other emergency service; F. Uncontrolled and unlimited signs and sign types, particularly dynamic display signs, adversely impact the image and aesthetic attractiveness of the community and thereby undermine economic value and growth; G. Uncontrolled and unlimited signs, particularly temporary signs which are commonly located within or adjacent to public right-of-way or are located at driveway/street intersections, result in roadside clutter and obstruction of views of oncoming traffic. This creates a hazard to drivers and pedestrians and also adversely impacts a logical flow of information; H. Commercial signs are generally incompatible with residential uses and should be strictly limited in residential zoning districts; and I. The right to express noncommercial opinions in any zoning district must be protected, subject to reasonable restrictions on size, height, location and number. 1200.03 Scope of Regulations. The sign regulations set forth in this Chapter shall apply to all structures and all land uses. This Chapter describes the signage standards for the nine sign districts that overlay the zoning districts of the City. Specific additional regulations are established for signs which are unique in purpose and not easily addressed by district regulations. No person, property owner, lessee shall place, erect, alter, modify, enhance or change in any way a sign that does not conform to the requirements of this Chapter and all other applicable regulations. 1200.04 Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phase, or other part of this Chapter is for any reason held to be invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining portion of this Chapter. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted the Chapter in each section, subsection, sentence, or phase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subjections, sentences, clauses, or phrases are declared invalid.

City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for February 8, 2017 Page 1 of 2 MEMORANDUM DATE: February 8, 2017 PC Agenda Item 6.A TO: Planning Commission Chair Thompson and Commissioners FROM: Matthew Bachler, Senior Planner SUBJECT: Report from the City Council December 12, 2016 City Council Regular Meeting The City Council approved the TCAAP Comprehensive Plan Amendment, TCAAP Regulating Plan Amendment, and TCAAP Redevelopment Code Amendment in Planning Case 16-025 at their regular meeting on December 12, 2016. The amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and regulatory documents were requested by the TCAAP Master Developer in order to facilitate their redevelopment plans for the property. The Planning Commission recommended approval (5-0) of this case at their meeting on December 7, 2016. The City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Master Developer regarding park improvements on TCAAP. The MOU addresses the amenities to be provided in the Creek, Hill, and Town Center parks, and requires the Master Developer to coordinate the design of the parks with the City, subject to City Council final approval. The City Council approved an Option Agreement with the Master Developer that would allow the City to purchase the 1.6-acre Civic zoned property on the TCAAP site. The Option Agreement provides the City up to seven years to acquire the site with the timeframe beginning once the JDA approves the Master Development Agreement (MDA) with the Master Developer. The sales terms will depend on when the City is ready to move forward with construction. The City has an incentive to move quickly on developing a plan for the property as an earlier sale will result in better terms for the City. January 13, 2017 City Council Work Session Roberts Management Group presented a Concept Plan Review for proposed modifications to the Lexington Station Master PUD at the southwest corner of Lexington Avenue and Red Fox Road. The proposed changes would decrease the overall amount of density within the development and increase the number of surface parking stalls. Roberts Management is expecting to submit a formal PUD Amendment application and a Final PUD application for Phase 2 in spring 2017. The applications would be subject to the full review process, including a public hearing with Planning Commission and City Council review. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for February 8, 2017 Page 2 of 2 January 30, 2017 Special City Council Work Session The City Council discussed the Option Agreement to purchase the Civic property on TCAAP. Their discussion focused on site restrictions, use options, and possible funding sources. The City Council requested that staff draft a Request for Proposals for assistance in managing the City’s planning process for the future use of the property.
