Planning Commission Appointment – Matt Dixon ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – September 6, 2017 2 Senior Planner Bachler reported on August 28th the City Council appointed Matt Dixon to the Planning Commission. He administered the Oath of Office to Commissioner Matt Dixon. The Planning Commission members welcomed Matt Dixon with a round of applause. PLANNING CASES A. Planning Case 17-023; Master and Final Planned Unit Development – Marriot Springhill Suites Hotel – 3920 Northwoods Drive – Public Hearing Senior Planner Bachler stated the property at 3920 Northwoods Drive is currently occupied by a single story, 21,111 square foot office building and a parking lot with 98 stalls. The office building is vacant and the property owner has been marketing the site for lease or sale. The site was originally developed in 1988 for an American Family Insurance Claim Center. There have not been any significant modifications to the site since the original development was completed. Senior Planner Bachler explained Hawkeye Hotels has requested a Master and Final PUD in order to demolish the existing office building and redevelop the property for a Marriot Springhill Suites hotel. The hotel would be five stories and have a total of 139 rooms. The site plan indicates the hotel would be situated towards the center of the property with 143 parking stalls located around the perimeter of the hotel and site boundaries. The existing access driveway on Northwoods Drive would be shifted to the south. No additional access driveways are proposed for the development. Senior Planner Bachler noted the first floor of the hotel would be approximately 16,578 square feet in area and would include an indoor pool, fitness center, meeting room, lounge area, and 15 guest rooms. The plans for the second to fifth floors show a floor area of approximately 15,939 square feet and 31 guest rooms per floor. Marriot Springhill Suites guestrooms provide slightly more space than other chain hotels and include separate areas for sleeping, working, and relaxing, as well as an in-suite microwave and refrigerator. In total, the building would have a gross floor area of 79,241 square feet. The overall height of the building would be approximately 58 feet. Senior Planner Bachler reported the exterior of the building would be comprised of a variety of building materials, including brick, stone, transparent glass, and EIFS. A porte chochere would constructed on the south side of the hotel in front of the entrance lobby. New wall signage would be added on each side of the building, and a new monument sign is proposed at the Northwoods Drive entrance. Senior Planner Bachler noted the project would be developed as a Planned Unit Development. He provided additional information on the PUD review process. Site Data Future Land Use Plan: Mixed Business Existing Land Use: Office Zoning: B-3 – Service Business District Lot Size: 2.04 Acres Topography: Level ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – September 6, 2017 3 Senior Planner Bachler reviewed the surrounding area, the Plan Evaluation and the B-3 District Design Standards. Senior Planner Bachler provided the Findings of Fact for review: 1. The property at 3920 Northwoods Drive is located in the B-3 – Service Business District. 2. The subject property is improved with a 21,111 square foot office building and 98 off- street parking stalls. The property was developed through the Site Plan Review process in 1988 (Planning Case #88-002). 3. The applicant has submitted an application for a Master and Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) to redevelop the subject property for a 79,241 square foot hotel with associated improvements. 4. The hotel land use is a permitted use in the B-3 – Service Business District. 5. The purpose of the PUD process is to achieve a higher quality, better project than would otherwise be possible if the strict application of the zoning requirements were met. 6. The proposed PUD in substantial conformance with the requirements of the City Code. 7. Where the plan is not in conformance with the City Code, flexibility has been requested by the applicant and/or conditions have been placed on an approval that would mitigate the nonconformity. 8. The proposed PUD is in conformance with the Land Use chapter of the Arden Hills 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The subject property is guided for Mixed Business. The Mixed Business land use category is applied to areas designated for a variety of businesses, including commercial, certain light industrial uses, warehousing, office, general business, and retail. 9. The proposed PUD is in conformance with the Economic Development and Redevelopment chapter of the Arden Hills 2030 Comprehensive Plan, which includes the goal to, “promote the development, redevelopment, and maintenance of a viable, innovative, and diverse business environment serving Arden Hills and the metropolitan area.” 10. The application is not anticipated to create a negative impact on the immediate area or the community as a whole. Senior Planner Bachler stated based on the submitted plans and findings of fact, staff recommends approval of Planning Case 17-023 for a Master and Final PUD at 3920 Northwoods Drive. If the Planning Commission votes to recommend approval of Planning Case 17-023, staff is recommending the following fourteen (14) conditions of approval: 1. The project shall be completed in accordance with the submitted plans as amended by the conditions of approval. Any significant changes to these plans, as determined by the City Planner, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and the City Council. 2. The Developer shall obtain the required development permits within one year of the approval date or the approval shall expire, unless extended by the City Council prior to the approval’s expiration date. Extension requests must be submitted in writing to the City at least 45 days prior to the expiration date. 3. A Development Agreement shall be prepared by the City Attorney and subject to City Council approval. The Agreement shall be executed prior to the issuance of a Grading and Erosion Control Permit. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – September 6, 2017 4 4. The Developer shall submit a financial surety in the amount of 125 percent of the estimated costs of public infrastructure improvements including grading, utilities, and paving, prior to the issuance of a Grading and Erosion Control Permit. The financial surety shall be in the form of a letter of credit issued by a FDIC-insured bank, and be in a form acceptable to the City. The purpose of the letter of credit is to ensure that public infrastructure improvements are completed in the event that the developer defaults on the Development Agreement. 5. The Developer shall submit a cash escrow in the amount of 25 percent of the estimated costs of public infrastructure improvements including grading, utilities, and paving, prior to the issuance of a Grading and Erosion Control Permit. The escrow will be used for City costs related to review, approval, and inspection of public infrastructure improvements or any costs incurred by the City in the event of a developer default. 6. The Developer shall submit a financial surety in the amount of 125 percent of the estimated costs of landscaping prior to the issuance of a Grading and Erosion Control Permit. The financial surety shall be in the form of a letter of credit issued by a FDIC- insured bank. The purpose of the letter of credit is to ensure that landscaping is completed in the event that the developer defaults on the Development Agreement. The City will hold the letter of credit for two years after the installation of landscaping. The letter of credit should not expire during the two-year period. 7. The Developer shall provide the City with a copy of the Rice Creek Watershed District permit for the project prior to the issuance of a Grading and Erosion Control Permit. 8. The Developer shall obtain a Right-of-Way Permit from the City for any construction work required for the development within the Northwoods Drive right-of-way. 9.

The Developer shall provide a minimum of 1,660 square feet of perennial and/or shrubbery plantings. Senior Planner Bachler reviewed the options available to the Planning Commission on this matter: 1. Recommend Approval with Conditions 2. Recommend Approval as Submitted. 3. Recommend Denial 4. Table Chair Thompson opened the floor to Commissioner comments. Commissioner Jones asked how the lot to the east would be accessed. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – September 6, 2017 5 Senior Planner Bachler stated the lot to the east was a landlocked property and an access easement would likely be required. He explained the owner of the lot to the east also owned the lot to the south of the proposed hotel. Commissioner Lambeth understood the applicant was requesting quite a bit of flexibility and exceptions within the PUD. He questioned if the hotel should be located on the property to the south in order offer more space and reduce the number of exceptions. Senior Planner Bachler deferred this question to the applicant and noted this option was discussed with the applicant. He reported there was a deed restriction on both the lots to the south and east that would not allow for a hotel on either property. Commissioner Lambeth commented on the amount of EIFS on the building, along with the different types of EIFS. He stated he had concerns with EIFS being used given the way it can trap moisture between the board and the building. He recommended the installation plan for the EIFS be submitted at the time the PUD is brought to the City. He inquired what type of EIFS would be installed on the hotel. Senior Planner Bachler stated the City would require more detail on the EIFS installation as part of the building permit review process. Chair Thompson discussed the City’s building standards and agreed the building did have a large percentage of EIFS. She encouraged the developer to have more stone and glass incorporated into the building façade. She questioned how the site would handle overflow parking. Senior Planner Bachler explained limited street parking may be available. Otherwise, off-site parking would have to be sought by the property owner. Commissioner Zimmerman agreed that parking could be a concern for this property and he wanted to be assured the applicant was ready to address this matter. Commissioner Jones inquired if the City was rezoning this property to allow for the hotel. Senior Planner Bachler stated the site was not being rezoned but rather was going through the PUD process. Commissioner Jones requested further information regarding the building height. Senior Planner Bachler discussed the building height and noted the additional parapet height would only be in specific areas along the building roofline. He explained the City has allowed for increased building height in the past for properties that abut Interstate 694. Chair Thompson invited the applicant to come forward at this time. Michele Caron, Sambatek, thanked staff for the thorough presentation. She explained she had worked to maximize the landscaping plan. She offered additional information on the proposed signs and noted the location on the building. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – September 6, 2017 6 Jay Bhakta, Hawkeye Hotels, noted the wall signs on the building would be illuminated. Commissioner Zimmerman asked if the developers had completed an occupancy study before proposing this hotel. Mr. Bhakta reported Arden Hills only has one other hotel and explained there was currently a lack of hotel rooms. He stated he had reviewed the occupancy rates in Shoreview and Roseville, which showed support for a new hotel product in the market. Chair Thompson questioned how the developers would handle overflow parking. Mr. Bhakta stated he did not anticipate the site would have overflow parking needs. However, in the rare cases that this did occur, hotel staff would have to plan ahead in order to offer valet parking services. Commissioner Jones asked if the hotel would have a bar or restaurant. Mr. Bhakta explained the site would not have a bar or restaurant, but would be offering a complimentary breakfast to its occupants. Commissioner Zimmerman inquired how building security would be addressed. Mr. Bhakta reported all rooms would have card-key access. In addition, the building would have security cameras and be staffed at all times. 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. There being no additional comment Chair Thompson closed the public hearing at 7:24 p.m. Commissioner Gehrig understood a variety of tree sizes were required based on the proposed building height. He reviewed the proposed landscaping plan and recommended this plan meet the City’s landscaping tree ratio requirements. Senior Planner Bachler commented the applicant was not currently meeting the City’s requirements. He explained a condition of approval requiring the applicant to meet the City’s tree ratio requirement could be recommended by the Planning Commission. Chair Thompson understood this was a difficult lot and believed the proposed development would add a great deal of class to this area of the City. She stated she would like to see the percentage of EIFS reduced. She indicated she could support some level of flexibility regarding the trees. Commissioner Lambeth suggested one additional parking lot island be added to the plan to eliminate the need for this exception. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – September 6, 2017 7 Commissioner Jones discussed the wetland lot that was directly adjacent to this lot and noted this property would be used for stormwater drainage. Chair Thompson stated she supported the proposed building and monument signage. Commissioner Gehrig moved and Commissioner Lambeth seconded a motion to recommend approval of Planning Case 17-023 for a Master and Final Planned Unit Development at 3920 Northwoods Drive, based on the findings of fact and submitted plans, as amended by the fourteen (14) conditions in the September 6, 2017, Report to the Planning Commission, plus one additional condition requiring the applicant to meet the City’s tree ratio requirements. The motion carried unanimously (6-0). B. Planning Case 17-020; Zoning Code Amendment and Rezoning – Higher Education Land Uses and Institutional Zoning District – Public Hearing Senior Planner Bachler stated on October 10, 2016, the City Council adopted An Interim Ordinance Temporarily Prohibiting Land Use Applications and Reviews for Higher Education Uses in Residential, Business, Industrial and Other Zones (moratorium). The moratorium can last up to one year to prepare a study to determine the impacts and benefits from higher education land uses and provide recommendations for possible Zoning Code and/or Comprehensive Plan amendments regarding higher education uses. The City Council initiated the required study and directed the Planning Commission and the Economic Development Commission to provide feedback and analysis throughout the process. The study was initially comprised of five components: • Background gathering and analysis of the existing Campus Master Plans for the University of Northwestern and Bethel University. • The regulation of Higher Education Uses within other communities. • Analysis of the Commercial and Employment Uses currently allowed in the various Commercial and Industrial Zones. • Analysis of the Employment and Economic Activity that results from the allowed Commercial and Employment Uses. • Analysis of existing parcels and buildings within the Commercial and Industrial zones. Senior Planner Bachler explained the Planning Commission, Economic Development Commission, and City Council have over the last few months reviewed the technical analysis of the five components and, based on the discussions, some potential outcomes. Based on discussion at these meetings, two additional components have been added to the study report: • College and University Enrollment by Community • Property Taxes Paid by Commercial and Industrial Properties Senior Planner Bachler indicated the college and university enrollment component was added to determine if Arden Hills has a greater proportion of students to residents than other Minnesota communities. The property tax component was added to evaluate the impact to the general fund of the City of Arden Hills if the non-profit universities acquired properties that are currently occupied by property tax paying businesses. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – September 6, 2017 8 Senior Planner Bachler stated any amendments to the regulation of higher education uses will need to be ultimately approved by the City Council by October 9, 2017 before the moratorium expires. The economic development issues will continue to be discussed as the City develops the Comprehensive Plan update, which is expected to be approved in the first quarter of 2018. The existing definition for higher education schools in the City Code is: “Schools, higher education. Junior colleges, colleges and universities approved by the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating Board for the Minnesota Department of Education.” Senior Planner Bachler commented the proposed Zoning Code amendment would eliminate the existing definition for higher education schools and replace it with two new land use categories: “Higher education, campus” and “Higher education, classroom/office.” The “Higher education, campus” definition would describe the uses expected from a traditional four-year, undergraduate institution. The staff suggested definition is: “Higher education, campus. The facilities for technical colleges, junior colleges, colleges and universities approved by the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating Board for the Minnesota Department of Education. These facilities can include, but are not limited to, classrooms; laboratories; seminaries; dining and residence halls; athletic, wellness, and spiritual facilities; administrative offices; performance art centers; parking and transit structures; and child care facilities.” Senior Planner Bachler explained the “Higher education, classroom/office” use is intended for classroom space that is becoming more common for off-campus continuing or graduate level education and other higher education uses that function similarly to a traditional office use. The staff suggested definition is: “Higher education, classroom/office. The facilities of technical colleges, junior colleges, colleges and universities approved by the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating Board for the Minnesota Department of Education that function in a similar way to a traditional business office use regarding traffic, trip generation, parking, hours of operation, noise, odors and other effects. These facilities are limited to classrooms, laboratories integral to training necessary for completion of a degree certification, administrative offices, or similar uses.” Senior Planner Bachler indicated the purpose of the separate Higher Education, Classroom/Office use is to allow for higher education uses that function similar to traditional office uses or have similar impacts or benefits as traditional office uses. The method to ensure that the higher education uses do not create impacts greater than traditional office uses would be to codify conditions and standards that a Conditional Use Permit for higher education uses would need to comply with. These conditions could also address the City Council’s concern that higher education would occupy too much of the City’s limited commercial area. Staff would recommend that Higher Education, Classroom/Office be limited to a conditional use in only the B-2 zoning district. This would be more restrictive than the current Schools, Higher Education use which is a conditional use in the B-4 and Civic Center zoning districts as well. There are currently no higher education uses in the B-4 and Civic Center zoning districts, so no uses would become non-conforming if higher education was eliminated from those zoning districts. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – September 6, 2017 9 To address these concerns, staff has prepared the following draft language. “1320.085 Subd. 6 Higher Education, Classroom/Office Additional Conditional Use Criteria. In addition to meeting the requirements of Sections 1345 and 1355.04 Subd. 3, Higher Education, Classroom/Office uses shall conform to the following: A. No more than 25% of the total building area within the B-2 zoning district shall be occupied by Higher Education, Classroom/Office uses. B. Any Higher Education, Classroom/Office use shall provide benefits and have impacts to the B-2 district similar to a traditional business office use regarding traffic, trip generation, parking, hours of operation, noise, odors and other effects. C. The Higher Education, Classroom/Office use shall not generate any hazardous wastes and shall not result in any outdoor storage.” Senior Planner Bachler stated the limit of 25% of the total building area within the B-2 zoning district was determined as acknowledgement of Bethel University’s current ownership and use of the Anderson Center at 2 Pine Tree Drive. The Anderson Center is 227,138 square feet in area and the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Bethel University allows 189,804 square feet of the Anderson Center for administrative office, classrooms, meeting rooms, common spaces, and other general educational and related purposes. The total area of buildings within the B-2 zoning district is 982,138 square feet. This results in Bethel’s CUP allowing higher educational uses in the Anderson Center occupying 19.3% of the total building space in the B-2 zoning district. The proposed limit of 25% would allow for about 55,730 square feet available for additional higher educational uses. Senior Planner Bachler reported the City Council has recommended that a separate, stand-alone zoning district be prepared for the Higher Education, Campus uses of the Bethel University and University of Northwestern campuses within Arden Hills. Bethel University’s main campus is located in the B-1 zoning district and the University of Northwestern is located in the R-1 zoning district. The Bethel University campus currently operates under an approved CUP that includes their current facilities and future expansion. Similarly, the University of Northwestern campus operates under an approved Planned Unit Development (PUD). The Bethel CUP and University of Northwestern PUD would not be affected by the proposed rezoning and would continue to remain in effect. Senior Planner Bachler indicated to create the zoning district, a minimum of three items would need to be addressed: purpose statements, uses, and performance standards. Staff has prepared the following draft language. The proposed performance standards are identical to the B-1 district provisions. “1320.04 Purpose of Districts. Subd. 20 INST Institutional District. A. To establish areas for the post-secondary education of general public. B. To establish areas for the training of well-educated and talented workforce. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – September 6, 2017 10 C. To provide for the ability of the post-secondary students to live and have their daily needs met on the campus of the post-secondary education institution. D. To provide the opportunity for athletic programs to be created for the post-secondary students while providing opportunities for the general public to experience these athletic programs.” Staff reviewed the proposed changes to the Land Use and District Provision Charts. Senior Planner Bachler provided the Findings of Fact for review: General Findings: 1. On October 10, 2016, the City Council adopted An Interim Ordinance Temporarily Prohibiting Land Use Applications and Reviews for Higher Education Uses in Residential, Business, Industrial and Other Zones (moratorium). 2. On February 13, 2017, the City Council approved a contract with WSB & Associates to conduct a study evaluating the economic condition of business districts of Arden Hills, the growth pressures of Bethel University and the University of Northwestern, and provided recommendations of Zoning Ordinance amendments regarding higher educational uses (Commercial, Industrial and Higher Education Study). 3. The City Council, Planning Commission, and Economic Development Commission reviewed and provided comments regarding the Commercial, Industrial, and Higher Education Study. 4. Bethel University and the University of Northwestern have had the opportunity to review the Commercial, Industrial, and Higher Education Study and have provided comments. 5. The Commercial, Industrial, and Higher Education Study found that the business districts within Arden Hills include a low level of vacancy in the industrial districts and a healthy level of vacancies in the commercial districts. 6. The Commercial, Industrial, and Higher Education Study found that Arden Hills has the highest ratio of residents to college enrollment of any community in Minnesota. An increase in enrollment at Bethel University and/or the University of Northwestern has the potential to change the mix of community elements of Arden Hills greater than other Minnesota communities. 7. The Commercial, Industrial, and Higher Education Study found that a strong mix of employment uses and consumer uses must be maintained to ensure a healthy business community. 8. Based on the findings of the Commercial, Industrial, and Higher Education Study, the City determined that certain amendments to the Zoning Code were necessary in order to maintain the existing mix of employment and consumer uses in the community. 9. The proposed Zoning Code amendment regarding “Schools, higher education” is consistent with the land use goal within the 2030 Comprehensive Plan to, “Develop and maintain a land use pattern that strengthens the vitality, quality, and character of our residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and industrial areas while protecting the community’s natural resources and developing a sustainable pattern for future development” (Arden Hills 2030 Comprehensive Plan, at 3-1). 10. The proposed Zoning Code amendment regarding “Schools, higher education” is consistent with the economic development goal within the 2030 Comprehensive Plan to, “Promote the development, redevelopment, and maintenance of a viable, innovative, and ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – September 6, 2017 11 diverse business environment serving Arden Hills and the metropolitan area” (Arden Hills 2030 Comprehensive Plan, at 8-1). Senior Planner Bachler stated staff recommends adoption of the Commercial, Industrial, and Higher Education Study report prepared by WSB & Associates and dated August 30, 2017. Based on the Commercial, Industrial, and Higher Education Study and findings of fact, staff recommends approval of Planning Case 17-020 for the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments regarding “Schools, higher education”. Senior Planner Bachler explained based on the Commercial, Industrial, and Higher Education Study and findings of fact, staff recommends approval of Planning Case 17-020 to rezone the Bethel University Campus, comprised of 3900 Bethel Drive, 3800 Bethel Drive, 3801 Bethel Drive, 4404 Bethel Drive, 4040 Old Highway 10, 4080 Snelling Avenue North, 4140 Snelling Avenue North, and 4120 Snelling Avenue North, from B-1 Limited Business District to INST – Institutional District. Senior Planner Bachler indicated based on the Commercial, Industrial, and Higher Education Study and findings of fact, staff recommends approval of Planning Case 17-020 to rezone the University of Northwestern Campus at 3003 Snelling Ave N from R-1 Single Family Residential District to INST – Institutional District. Senior Planner Bachler reviewed the options available to the Planning Commission on this matter: 1. Recommend Approval with Amendments 2. Recommend Approval as Submitted 3. Recommend Denial Chair Thompson opened the floor to Commissioner comments. Chair Thompson explained staff and the Commission has been reviewing this matter for the past six months. She reported staff has spent a great deal of time defining higher education campus and higher education classroom/office. She stated the City understood that secondary education was evolving and she believed the proposed Zoning Code Amendment would assist the City in addressing these changes. Commissioner Dixon questioned if the City was considering rezoning the Anderson Center property. Senior Planner Bachler stated staff was not recommending rezoning this property at this time. He noted that the property was currently zoned B-2 and that rezoning the site to Institutional District could allow for a greater range of college campus uses on the property that may not be compatible with the surrounding B-2 District. Commissioner Jones asked what the building square footage was on the former Smith’s Medical property. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – September 6, 2017 12 Senior Planner Bachler explained the former Smith’s Medical property had approximately 165,000 square feet of building space and was located in the I-Flex zoning district. Commissioner Dixon inquired if Bethel or Northwestern had an incubator program that assisted with job creation. Senior Planner Bachler deferred this question to Bethel and Northwestern representations. Chair Thompson opened the public hearing at 8:03 p.m. Chair Thompson invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and make comment. Nancy Jacobson, 3188 Asbury Avenue, stated she lived adjacent to Northwestern University. She thanked the City for thoroughly addressing this issue and for all of the thought that had gone into creating the Institutional zoning district. She believed this would greatly benefit the health of the City. She discussed the negative impacts occurring in her neighborhood (which was split between Arden Hills and Roseville) such as noise, commotion, traffic, parking and lights. She inquired how her neighborhood would be impacted by the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment. She understood that Roseville had a higher allowable building height than Arden Hills (60 feet versus 35 feet) and asked how this would work on their campus. It was her fear the use on the campus would continue to become more intense. Senior Planner Bachler explained Northwestern currently operates under a PUD and this would remain in effect. He reported the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment would not have any impact on the PUD and the requirements that have been established within the PUD. He commented that if the campus master plan was to be amended by Northwestern, the City would have to evaluate the potential noise, light and traffic impacts. He anticipated the adjacent neighbors would not see any changes or have any impacts from the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment. Senior Planner Bachler summarized a question from an audience member, stating that she had heard nothing about the tax ramifications of institutional uses in the City and requested further information from staff on this matter. Senior Planner Bachler explained this was a component of the Higher Education Study that was completed by staff. When the City works on land use regulations it cannot make zoning decisions based on tax exempt or non-tax exempt classifications. He stated the full details of this study was not presented this evening given the level of detail that was provided on the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment. There being no additional comment Chair Thompson closed the public hearing at 8:16 p.m. Chair Thompson asked how staff would like the Commission to proceed. Senior Planner Bachler requested the Commission make three separate motions. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – September 6, 2017 13 Commissioner Jones commented on the tax ramifications question further and noted the Commission had discussed the possibility of payments in lieu of taxes, but noted this was not something the City could require He stated he could see a technical college locating in the I-Flex zoning district and believed this would be a growing trend. He believed that the City needed to have more than 55,000 square feet to offer to higher education uses. For this reason, he would not be supporting the proposed Ordinance amendment. Chair Thompson appreciated Commissioner Jones comments. However, she did not believe that an institutional use or technical college was a good fit in the I-Flex zoning district given the high level of traffic that would be generated. She appreciated the proposed text amendments as it would provide a more streamlined purpose statement for the City’s zoning districts.

City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for November 8, 2017 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2017\PC 17-024 - PUD Amendment - Arden Square - 1160 County Road E\Memos_Reports_17-024 Page 1 of 9 MEMORANDUM DATE: November 8, 2017 PC Agenda Item 3.A TO: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners FROM: Matthew Bachler, Senior Planner SUBJECT: Planning Case #17-024 – Public Hearing Required Applicant: Arden Square, LLC c/o The Commers Company Property Location: 1160 County Road E West Request: Planned Unit Development Amendment Requested Action Arden Square, LLC has requested a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment at 1160 County Road E West to modify the existing parking lot and drive-thru lane on the property for a new fast food restaurant tenant and for additional wall signage for the tenant. Background The subject property was first developed as a ski and golf shop in the early 1970s. In 1992, the City approved a Site Plan for modifications to accommodate a new bank user. These plans included the removal of a portion of the west side of the building to put in five drive-up lanes under the building roof. Today, the 4,500 square foot space that was occupied by TCF Bank is vacant and the roof over the drive-up lanes has been removed. American Red Cross is the one tenant in the building and occupies approximately 5,000 square feet. In 2016, the City approved a Master and Final PUD for modifications to the drive lanes and parking lot, a new monument sign and trash enclosure, and enhanced landscaping (Planning Case 16-003). At this time, the property owner also completed renovations to the front building façade, including the removal the mansard and gable roof on the west side of the building, increasing window and brick masonry coverage, and adding awnings and decorative lighting. As part of the approval for Planning Case 16-003, Arden Square was required to submit a PUD Amendment application with proposed site modifications for a fast food restaurant to use the existing drive-thru lane. This requirement was put in place to ensure that traffic circulation and design concerns could be addressed before a business occupied the tenant space. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for November 8, 2017 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2017\PC 17-024 - PUD Amendment - Arden Square - 1160 County Road E\Memos_Reports_17-024 Page 2 of 9 1. Overview of Request Arden Square is currently working with a Dunn Brothers Coffee franchisee to open a coffee shop in the vacant 4,500 square foot tenant space in the building. Several site modifications are needed to add a drive-thru lane on the west side of the building for Dunn Brothers. A parking lot island on the north side of the site would be shifted east and new curb would be installed to create a drive-thru stacking area for up to seven vehicles. The existing drive lane on the west side of the parking lot would be converted to one-way only and the parking stalls in this area would be restriped as diagonal stalls. Drive-thru traffic could exit at the southwest corner to the adjacent Arden Plaza retail center, or circulate around the south and east side of the building. Additional improvements would include a patio seating area outside of the Dunn Brothers tenant space. New wall signage is proposed for the north and south building walls. The wall sign on the north façade would be 43.5 square feet in area and the sign on the south façade would be 90.4 square feet. Dunn Brothers would use the existing multi-tenant sign on County Road E for freestanding signage. The proposed site plan is included in Attachment D and the sign plan in Attachment E. 2. Planned Unit Development (PUD) Process: The PUD process is a tool that provides additional flexibility for development that an underlying zoning district would not otherwise allow. For example, a PUD may make exceptions to setbacks, lot coverage, parking requirements, signage, building materials, or landscaping requirements. It is intended to overcome the limitations of zoning regulations and improve the overall design of a project. While the PUD process allows the City to negotiate certain aspects of the development, any conditions imposed on the PUD must have a rational basis related to the expected impact of the development. 3.

Site Data: Future Land Use Plan: Community Mixed Use Existing Land Use: Commercial Zoning: B-2: General Business District Lot Size: 48,000 square feet Topography: Relatively flat Plan Evaluation 1. Chapter 13, Zoning Code Review Section 1320.06 – District Requirements – Meets Requirements of Approved PUD Properties in the B-2 District are required to provide a minimum landscape lot area of 20 percent. The approved PUD granted flexibility in this area and permitted a landscape lot area of 15.3 percent. The proposed site modifications would not result in a reduction in pervious surface area. Section 1325.04 – Additional Minimum Requirements for Drive-in Businesses, Drive-up Windows, Fast Food Restaurants, and Automobile Service Stations The Zoning Code requires drive-in businesses, drive-up windows, and fast food restaurants to meet additional site and building design requirements. Since the property already includes an approved drive-up window, the requirements on location, landscaping, screening, and access do not apply in this case. The following section reviews the requirements in the Zoning Code that would still be applicable. Electronic Devices – Meets Requirements Electronic devices, such as loud speakers, are not permitted to be located within 50 feet of any adjacent lot. A menu ordering board is proposed at the northwest corner of the building. The closest adjacent lot to the west is approximately 53 feet from the menu board. Snow Storage – Meets Requirements Adequate area shall be designed for snow storage such that clear visibility shall be afforded from the property to any public street. The proposed modifications to the site for the drive-up window would not impact the current snow storage areas that are available for use. Design – Meets Requirements The design of all structures is required to be compatible with other structures in the surrounding area. No significant alterations are proposed to the west façade of the building to accommodate the new tenant. The existing structure is compatible with other development in the area. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for November 8, 2017 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2017\PC 17-024 - PUD Amendment - Arden Square - 1160 County Road E\Memos_Reports_17-024 Page 4 of 9 Traffic Circulation – Meets Requirements Site plans must be designed to avoid hazards to vehicular or pedestrian circulation. The proposed modifications are largely consistent with the previously approved site plan. Some improvements, such as the addition of diagonal parking on the west side of the site, would likely improve vehicular and pedestrian safety. Section 1325.05 Subd. 8 – B-2 District Design Standards The standards in this section only apply to site elements being developed or altered. Parking – Meets Requirements The Zoning Code requires plantings to be used to shade parking lots and provide screening from adjacent public streets. The parking lot island that would be shifted east to accommodate the drive-thru lane would be replanted with one tree and perennials. There are a number of existing deciduous trees around the perimeter of the site that provide shading and screening. Section 1325.55 – Tree Preservation The Landscape Plan indicates two significant Basswood trees on the southern property line would be replaced with two Crabapple trees for sight line improvements. The Tree Preservation Ordinance requires replacement plantings when more than 10 percent of the total caliper inches of significant trees are removed. There are 41 caliper inches of significant trees on the site and the allowed removal is 4.1 caliper inches. The two Basswood trees are a combined 21 caliper inches. After subtracting the allowed removal, 16.9 caliper inches must be replaced at a ratio of 1 caliper inch for every 2 caliper inches removed. In this case, the mitigation requirement is 8.5 caliper inches. The two Crabapple trees would total 4 caliper inches. As a condition of approval staff recommends the applicant be required to provide 8.5 caliper inches of trees on the site. Caliper Inches Number of Trees Existing Significant Trees 41 4 10% Permitted Removal 4.1 -- Proposed Removal 21 2 Replacement Tress Required 8.5 -- Proposed Tree Plantings 4 2 Section 1325.06 – Requirements for Parking, Loading and Circulation Area and Dimensions of Each Parking Space – Meets Requirements The Zoning Code requires individual parking stalls to be at least 9 feet in width and 18 feet in length. All parking stalls shown on the Site Plan conform to this standard. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for November 8, 2017 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2017\PC 17-024 - PUD Amendment - Arden Square - 1160 County Road E\Memos_Reports_17-024 Page 5 of 9 Location – Meets Requirements Off-street parking stalls must be located a minimum of 20 feet from the public right-of-way line and 5 feet from any side or rear property line. All setback requirements are currently met and the parking lot would not be expanded. Off-Street Parking Spaces Required – Flexibility Requested The number of parking stalls required is determined based on proposed land use. American Red Cross is classified as a medical clinic, which requires one stall per 200 square feet of floor area plus one stall per employee. American Red Cross occupies 5,000 square feet and has 10 employees, and therefore 35 parking stalls are required for this use. Fast food restaurants are required to provide one parking stall for every two seats. The applicant expects to have up to 44 seats for tenant, which would require 22 parking stalls. Between the two uses, 57 parking stalls are required and 59 stalls are provided. Fast food restaurants with a drive-up window are also required to provide 15 stacking spaces for each pickup window. The site plan indicates 7 stacking spaces would be provided for the drive- up window. Dunn Brothers has noted in the application that a minimum of 5 stacking spaces are needed for efficient vehicle flow through a drive-thru. Staff researched what other communities in the surrounding area require for stacking spaces for fast food restaurants: • Shoreview: minimum of 6 stacking spaces • New Brighton: minimum of 4 stacking spaces • White Bear Lake: minimum of 3 stacking spaces • Roseville: no minimum stacking space requirement • Blaine: no minimum stacking space requirement • Lino Lakes: no minimum stacking space requirement Staff is comfortable with granting flexibility for the number of stacking spaces considering the design is sufficient for the business and Arden Square is retrofitting an existing building and site rather than completing new construction. The City Engineer and Lake Johanna Fire Marshall reviewed the Site Plan and do not have concerns about the layout. Traffic and Circulation – Meets Requirements Staff reviewed the configuration of the parking aisles on the north side of the building and does not have concerns with the design. The Site Plan indicates both one-way drive aisles would be 17 feet in width. Vehicles using the drive-up window on the west side of the building can exist at the southwest corner onto the adjacent Arden Plaza property, or circulate using the one-way drive aisle around the south and east side of the building. Arden Square has an existing agreement with Arden Plaza that allows for access onto their property. As a condition of approval for Planning Case 16-003, Arden Square was required to maintain a 20-foot drive aisle on the west side of the building if a future tenant in the building used the City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for November 8, 2017 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2017\PC 17-024 - PUD Amendment - Arden Square - 1160 County Road E\Memos_Reports_17-024 Page 6 of 9 drive-thru lane. The Site Plan shows the drive aisle would be 22 feet in width. The Lake Johanna Fire Marshall has reviewed the updated Site Plan and does not have concerns with the design. 2. Chapter 12 – Sign Code Review – Flexibility Requested Properties with frontage on County Road E are located in Sign District 4. The maximum amount of wall signage permitted in the district is 50 square feet. For multi-tenant properties, each tenant is permitted up to 50 square feet of wall signage. The applicant has proposed installing one sign on the north façade visible from County Road E and a second sign on the south façade (Attachment E). The sign on the south side of the building would help make the business visible from the adjacent Arden Plaza property and Lexington Avenue. The north wall sign would measure 43.5 square feet in area and the south wall sign would be 90.4 square feet, for a total of 133.9 square feet. Wall Signs Sign District 4 (Permitted) Dunn Brothers (Proposed) Sign Copy Area 50 square feet 133.9 square feet Section 1260.01 of the Sign Code permits adjustments to sign height, number, type, lighting, area, and/or location through the Site Plan Review or PUD process if criteria number 1 or 2 is met and the required criteria number 3 is met. The criteria are as follows: 1. There are site conditions which require a sign adjustment to allow the sign to be reasonably visible from a street immediately adjacent to the site; or, 2. The sign adjustment will allow a sign of exceptional design or a style that will enhance the area or that is more consistent with the architecture and design of the site; and, 3. The sign adjustment will not result in a sign that is inconsistent with the purpose of the zoning district in which the property is located or the current land use. Staff is supportive of the proposed sign standard adjustment for the signage on the south façade. The sign is not inconsistent with the purpose of the B-2 Zoning District and the additional signage will increase visibility from Arden Plaza and Lexington Avenue. The proposed sign on the south façade is consistent and proportional with the architecture of the building. Additional Review City Engineer and Building Official The City Engineer and City Building Official have reviewed the submitted plans and do not have any additional comments at this time. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for November 8, 2017 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2017\PC 17-024 - PUD Amendment - Arden Square - 1160 County Road E\Memos_Reports_17-024 Page 7 of 9 Lake Johanna Fire Department The Lake Johanna Fire Marshal has reviewed the submitted plans and does not have any additional comments at this time. Findings of Fact Staff offers the following twelve (12) findings of fact for consideration. 1.

The City approved a Master and Final Planned Unit Development in Planning Case 16- 003 permitting the property owner to complete modifications to the existing parking lot and other site improvements. 3. The Master and Final PUD Agreement between the City and Arden Square, LLC approved in Planning Case 16-003 requires a PUD Amendment if the vacant tenant space is proposed to be occupied by a fast food restaurant to review proposed site modifications. 4. The proposed PUD Amendment includes modifications to the property’s drive lanes and parking spaces in order to accommodate the drive-thru lane for the fast food restaurant and for new wall signage. 5. The City has adopted the Guiding Plan for the B-2 District that outlines future development principals for the area. 6. The City has adopted Design Standards for the B-2 District within the Zoning Code. 7. The proposed PUD Amendment is in substantial conformance with the requirements of the City Code. The applicant has requested flexibility for the minimum number of stacking spaces required for a fast food restaurant and for the wall signage copy area. 8. The proposed PUD Amendment is in conformance with the Guiding Plan for the B-2 District. 9. The proposed PUD Amendment is in conformance with the Arden Hills 2030 Comprehensive Plan. 10. The additional sign copy area requested for wall signage satisfies the Sign Standard Adjustment criteria included in Section 1260.01 of the City Code. 11. The PUD process allows for flexibility within the City’s regulations through a negotiated process with a developer. Where the plan is not in conformance with the City’s Zoning Code, flexibility has been requested by the applicant and/or conditions have been placed on an approval that would mitigate the nonconformity. 12. The proposed PUD Amendment is not anticipated to create a negative impact on the immediate area or the community as a whole.

Equal Opportunity Employer | wsbeng.com K:\03455-200\Admin\Meeting\PC Meetings\11082017\WSB Memo 11082017.docx Memorandum To: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners Matthew Bachler, Senior Planner From: Eric Zweber, AICP Date: November 1, 2017 Re: Arden Hills 2040 Comprehensive Plan WSB Project No. 03455-200 Background On June 7, 2017, WSB & Associates provided a summary of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update to the Planning Commission. That summary included the changes in the requirements for the Housing Chapter. Since that meeting WSB and City Staff have been updating the Housing and Land Use chapters and completing the technical elements (potable water, surface water, sanitary sewer, and transportation) to develop any capital investments necessary to implement the Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, in September, the City Council accepted the Commercial, Industrial, and Higher Education study. The findings of that study have been included in the Land Use and Implementation chapters of the Comprehensive Plan. Attached to this memorandum are clean and redline Land Use, Housing, Implementation, and Zoning Regulations chapters, as well as the draft Land Use map and the draft capital improvement plan (CIP) for 2018-2022. Requested Action Review the draft Land Use, Housing, and Implementation Chapters and provide recommendations on any changes. Summary Housing The Metropolitan Council has additional affordable housing requirements than the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, which can be generally summarized as: • Increase the overall average density of all new development and redevelopment from 3 units per acre to 5 units per acre. • Determine the existing affordable housing need of Arden Hills’ residents and determine policies and strategies to address this need. • Determine how to accommodate Arden Hills’ share of the regional affordable housing need between 2021 and 2030. • Evaluate what tools are available to assist with the construction of affordable housing units between 2021 and 2030. Planning – Arden Hills November 1, 2017 Page 2 K:\03455-200\Admin\Meeting\PC Meetings\11082017\WSB Memo 11082017.docx The proposed density of the TCAAP development will be about 9 units per acre and any redevelopment will most likely intensify the existing density of the community. Therefore, Arden Hills should have no issue meeting the new 5 unit per acre requirement. Pages 7-9 through 7-12 describe the existing affordable housing need for Arden Hills. Table 7.8 shows that that there are cost burdened households at all affordability bands, but tables 7.7 and 7.10 show that there are units available at the 30% of area median income (AMI) and below and the 50% to 30% AMI bands than residents making incomes that qualify for those levels of affordability. The need for additional affordable units exists for the 50% to 80% AMI band, which is commonly meet by ownership townhome units. With the TCAAP development and the expected development of the vacant properties on Parkshore Drive and the former City Hall site, many townhomes are anticipated to be constructed to alleviate the existing need. The need for the development of new affordable units between 2021 and 2030 at 50% AMI and below will be achieved through the densities of the apartments and condominiums planned at the TCAAP site. Table 7.13 shows how the 2021 to 2030 need for 50% to 80% AMI housing can be achieved through the development of the Parkshore Drive and the former City Hall sites, as well as redevelopment of 6% of the B-2 zoning district into apartments. The tools available to support affordable housing are listed on pages 7-16 through 7-20 and the table on page 7-21 shows which tools would be useful to achieve the housing goals. The description of the tools includes both what type of affordable housing would benefit and what agencies are responsible to implement the tools. In most cases, the State of Minnesota or Ramsey County is responsible for implementation the affordable housing programs. Land Use The majority of the City is proposed to have the same land uses as the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The proposed changes can be summarized as: • Scherer Bros. lumber is changed from Mixed Business to Light Industrial. • The public buildings on the Arden Hills Army Training Site are changed from Park Preserve to Public & Institutional. • The former City Hall property on Highway 96 is change from Neighborhood Business to Medium Density Residential. • The Bremer Bank site is changed from Light Industrial to Mixed Business. • The B-4 zoned properties along Dunlap St are changed from Mixed Business to Light Industrial. • The former Lake Johanna Fire Station is changed from Public & Institutional to Very Low Density Residential. The other changes to the Land Use Chapter are predominately adding the B-4 properties, Neighborhood Business, Gateway Business, and the employment versus consumer recommendations from the Commercial, Industrial, and Higher Education study. These issues are discussed on page 6-9 through 6-11.

To advance this land use goal, the following policies are proposed: o Evaluate and amend the land use regulations to achieve the highest possible development standards, enhance the natural environment, protect public health, support a vital mix of land uses, and promote flexible approaches to implement the Comprehensive Plan. o Ensure that land use regulations promote development that is compatible with nearby properties, neighborhood character, and natural features; minimize pedestrian and vehicular conflict; and visually enhance development. o Preserve the stability and quality of the city's neighborhoods while allowing for redevelopment that is complimentary to existing development. o Provide a balanced mix of residential, park, open space, and commercial land uses. o Construct new development at an average density of at least five residential units per net residential acre. o Explore the possibility of creating additional community gathering space in conjunction with public or private organizations, including AHATS. 6.1 INTRODUCTION Land use is a defining characteristic of a community. While land use does not operate independently from the other characteristics that create a community, it is a binding factor between transportation, housing, parks, paths, and other characteristics. Through zoning, subdivision, and other land use regulations, a city has powerful tools to guide the long-term, look, feel, and vitality of their community. Despite the vacant TCAAP property (see Chapter 5), Arden Hills is classified as a fully developed community by the Metropolitan Council’s Thrive MSP 2040. The City is also entirely within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The areas south of Highways 96 and 10 were mostly developed by the end of the 1970s, and less than three percent of the developable land in that part of Arden Hills is vacant. Significant land use changes are not anticipated in the developed part of Arden Hills; however, study areas have been identified in the Future Land Use section of this chapter. The City seeks to take a proactive stance to protect the high quality of life that residents have come to expect and to prepare for potential redevelopment opportunities on TCAAP and throughout the community.

Very Low Density Residential (VLDR) – traditional single-family residential land use category. A density range of one and one-half (1.5) to three (3) units per acre. Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 6-3 2. Low Density Residential (LDR) – traditional single-family residential land use category. A density range of three (3) to five (5) units per acre may be allowed. 3. Medium Density Residential (MDR) – apartment and townhome land use category for providing densities of six (6) to nine (9) units per acre. 4. High Density Residential (HDR) – apartment and townhome land use category providing for densities of nine (9) to twelve (12) units per acre. 5. Neighborhood Residential (NR) – Provides for a range of attached and detached single-family and small multi-family uses at a density of one and one-half (1.5) to eight (8) units per acre. 6. Town Center (TC) – Provides for a range of commercial and residential uses that offer housing, assisted living, senior housing, office, retail, restaurant, and civic uses. Medium and large residential uses are permitted at a density of fifteen (15) to sixty-seven (67) units per acre. 7. Neighborhood Business (NB) – neighborhood business designates small, isolated areas for neighborhood commercial land uses when they are compatible with surrounding residential uses. Commercial uses that are high traffic generators, noise generators, or otherwise not compatible with residential neighborhoods, are inappropriate. Typically, Neighborhood Business areas will be located on intersections or nodes that are on the edge of residential areas, are less desirable sites for housing, or have traditionally been occupied with neighborhood services. Dwelling units of three (3) units per acre or more may be permitted. 8. Mixed Business (MB) – areas designated for a variety of businesses, including commercial, certain light industrial uses, warehousing, office, general business, retail. 9. Commercial (C) – areas designated for a broad range of retail, shopping, and services to meet the needs of the community and region. Compatible uses such as office buildings are also intended for this area. 10. Community Mixed Use (CMU) – areas designated for a broad range of retail, shopping, services, and office space to meet the needs of the community and surrounding areas. This area may also include medium to high density housing with a potential density of three (3) to twenty (20) units per acre. 11. Campus Commercial (CC) – Provides for multiple, single tenant buildings or campuses within a business park atmosphere. 12. Retail Mixed-Use (RMU) – Promotes retail as a primary use and allows for other commercial uses to be incorporated as vertical mixed-use buildings. 13. Office Mixed-Use – (OMU) – Focuses on office as a primary use, but also permits other commercial uses to be incorporated as vertical mixed-use buildings. Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 6-4 14. Flex Office (FO) – Permits large scale development for employment and light manufacturing uses that take advantage of highway frontage and automobile access. 15. Light Industrial and Office (I/O) – areas designated for a broad range of light industrial uses such as warehousing with manufacturing. This land use may also include offices. 16. Public & Institutional (P/I) – areas designated for uses such as government buildings, colleges, schools, and religious uses, but not medical uses. 17. Utility (UTL) – Public or private land occupied by a power substation, water tower, municipal well, pumping station, drainage infrastructure, or similar use. 18. Park and Open Space (P/OS) – areas designated as public parks. 19. Park Preserve (PP) – areas designated as natural or scenic areas that are to be preserved for public use or open space. 20. Water – includes permanently flooded open water, rivers and streams, and wetlands (wetlands not included in the national wetland inventory data may not be displayed). 21. Railroad right-of-way (RR) – public or private freight or passenger rail activities. 22. Right-of-way (ROW) – public vehicular, transit and/or pedestrian rights-of- way. 6.3 EXISTING LAND USE – 2016 The 2016 existing land use data is based on City and County property records and known land uses (Figure 6.2). The land uses are classified into the following categories: 1. Single Family Attached – includes all attached single family homes such as townhomes with separate entrances. 2. Single Family Detached – includes all detached single family homes. 3. Multifamily – includes apartment buildings and condominiums of more than one story. 4. Manufactured Housing Parks – includes manufactured and mobile homes in specialized parks. 5. Mixed Use Residential - Land containing a building with multiple uses in combination with at least a residential unit(s). 6. Retail and Other Commercial – areas designated for a broad range of retail, shopping, and services to meet the needs of the community and region. Compatible uses such as office buildings are also intended for this area. 7. Office – Predominantly administrative, professional, or clerical services; includes medical clinics. Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 6-5 8. Mixed Use Industrial – Land containing a building with multiple uses in combination with industrial uses and NO residential units, such as light manufacturing and/or processing, warehousing, distribution, and offices. 9. Industrial and Utility - Land containing manufacturing, transportation, construction companies, communications, utilities (including water towers) or wholesale trade. This category includes publicly owned industrial lands (e.g. waste water treatment plant). 10. Park, Recreational or Preserve– areas designated as public parks. 11. Institutional– areas designated for uses such as government buildings, colleges, schools, and religious uses but not medical uses. 12. Undeveloped– Private land not occupied with a building or use. 13. Open Water– includes permanently flooded open water, rivers and streams, and wetlands (wetlands not included in the national wetland inventory data may not be displayed). 14. Railroad– Railroad right-of-way. 15. Major Highway– Major roadway strips of land or area, on which a vehicular rights-of-passage exists under the following conditions: all interstate highways; all 4-lane divided highways with rights-of-way of 200 feet or greater in width; or all 4-lane roads with a Metropolitan Council functional class designation of "Principal Arterial". 22% 3% 4% 9% 8% 37% 10% 7% Generalized Land Use Residential Commercial Industrial Park and Open Space Institutional Undeveloped Water ROW Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 6-6 The table above shows land uses in Arden Hills in the generalized categories of: residential, industrial, institutional, water, commercial, park and open space, undeveloped, and right-of-way. Over one third of the land in Arden Hills is designated for undeveloped use, which is new from the 2008 land use categories. This is due to the former Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant property and the vacant areas on college and corporate campuses. The next most prominent land use is all types of residential at 22 percent of the City’s total land area. The smallest land use categories are commercial and industrial at three percent and four percent, respectively. 6.4 FUTURE LAND USE - 2040 While redevelopment may occur on some parcels throughout the City, no significant land use changes in the developed areas of Arden Hills are anticipated (Figure 6.3). Most of the City’s projected population, household, and employment growth will occur on the TCAAP redevelopment site.

Right-of-way (ROW) – public vehicular, transit and/or pedestrian rights- of-way. 6.4.2 Guiding Plan for the B-2 District In March 2008, the City completed a visioning and planning process for the B-2 District, which generally includes the properties near County Road E between Lexington Avenue and Hamline Avenue/Highway 51 (Figure 6.4). Long considered the “downtown” of Arden Hills, the district is a mix of newer and older Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 6-9 buildings and primarily retail, service, and office uses. As this corridor ages, market initiated redevelopment is anticipated. The “Guiding Plan for the B-2 District” includes a long-term vision for the future redevelopment of this corridor and addresses transportation issues, land uses, infrastructure improvements, landscaping, pedestrian facilities, building design, and site layout among other issues. While the primary uses along this corridor are likely to remain retail, commercial, and office, the Guiding Plan and subsequent land use changes add the possibility for multi-family residential housing in this area. Since the completion of the plan in 2008, the area has seen substantial redevelopment with the opening of new retail, restaurant, and multi-family residential housing uses. The City and Ramsey County completed infrastructure improvements on County Road E in 2015, including streetscape enhancements and improved pedestrian and bicycle facilities. 6.4.3 Red Fox/Grey Fox/Lexington Avenue Business Area Guiding Plan Immediately north of the B-2 District is a significant industrial, office, and retail area for the City. This area includes Red Fox and Grey Fox roads and is bounded by Lexington Avenue, Highway 51, Interstate 694, and the Canadian Pacific railway (Figure 6.4). This area is used by a number of small and large businesses for a variety of retail, manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, and office uses. This area was largely developed between the 1950s and 1970s, though the retail area along Lexington Avenue has had some new development and redevelopment in the last 15 years. While good access to regional transportation has helped to continue to make this area viable, some of the buildings are becoming functionally obsolete for modern manufacturing, warehousing, and business uses. As redevelopment pressure increases, a more detailed guiding plan is required to comprehensively address the overall redevelopment and transportation needs in this area of the City. 6.4.4 B-4: Retail Center Zoning District The B-4 Zoning District is comprised of the properties with frontage on Dunlap Street between Grey Fox Road and Red Fox Road. There are no undeveloped parcels in the B-4 District and all the buildings are currently occupied. The properties are not generally retail in nature and therefore do not achieve the purpose statements of the B-4 District. The businesses are mostly wholesale Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 6-10 sales, office/warehouse, light manufacturing, or repair orientated that are more typically industrial uses. The City should consider whether zoning changes in this area of the City would be appropriate in order to achieve the City’s vision for the district and to support existing businesses in the area. 6.4.5 Neighborhood Business The purpose of the Neighborhood Business land use concept is to promote the development of commercial nodes that were compatible with the surrounding residential uses and provided services to residential areas. Commercial uses that generate high traffic, noise, or other negative impacts were considered undesirable. Neighborhood business areas are located at intersections or nodes at the edge of residential areas, on properties not considered desirable for housing, or properties that have traditionally been occupied with neighborhood services. Housing can be a component of the development but would not necessarily be the focal point. To date, the success of the Neighborhood Business district has been mixed. Two projects have been developed under this zoning designation, and both resulted in the construction of small office buildings with a variety of services. However, neither of the projects focused on providing neighborhood level services. There are a number undeveloped Neighborhood Business properties on Cleveland Avenue south of County Road E-2 and the former City Hall/Public Works site south of Highway 96 at Hamline Avenue. The size, shape and proximity to residential uses limits the commercial redevelopment opportunities, and the City may choose to consider appropriate residential uses for these sites. 6.4.6 Developable Gateway Business Properties There is about 35 acres of undeveloped land in the Gateway Business Zoning District northeast quadrant of Interstates 35W and 694. There are some wetlands and woodland that may influence future development, but considerate design may mitigate most impacts of development. The designation of this area is currently I/O – Light Industrial & Office. The City’s vision is for these undeveloped properties to be developed for a corporate office or similar type use. Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 6-11 6.4.7 Employment Zones and Consumer Zones The uses allowed in all the existing industrial zones and most of the commercial zones would allow for high economic activity uses adjacent to low economic activity uses. The uses allowed in some industrial zoning districts should be limited to create high economic activity districts with an emphasis on employment activities. Certain commercial zoning districts should be limited to encourage consumer-orientated uses. This employment versus consumer activity should be considered when revising the uses allowed in the various commercial and industrial zones. 6.4.8 Manufactured Home Community The Arden Manor neighborhood has been identified as an important community and the primary supply of affordable housing options in the City. Bounded by Interstate 35W, Highway 96, and Highway 10, the neighborhood is facing pressure from adjacent highways and land uses. The City anticipates this property will remain as a medium density residential use for the foreseeable future. 6.4.9 TCAAP Redevelopment As noted in Chapter 5, the City of Arden Hills hired a consultant team in 2013, to create a Master Plan for the redevelopment of the TCAAP site. A central component of this work was the development of a Master Land Use Plan that allocated an appropriate mix of residential, commercial, industrial, civic, and open space uses on the site. The TCAAP Master Plan was approved by the City Council in July 2015 and amended by the City Council in December 2016, and has been incorporated in the 2040 Future Land Use data (Figure 6.3 and Table 6.4). The City began work on the zoning and design standards to implement the Master Land Use Plan in August 2014. These regulations and policies are found in the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC), which was approved in July 2015 and amended in December 2016. The TRC puts in place land use regulations that will achieve the community’s goals for the TCAAP redevelopment including: high development and design standards; defined residential neighborhoods and Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 6-12 commercial districts interconnected by streets, trails, and sidewalks; energy resiliency and sustainability; and abundant parks and open space. Though the TCAAP Master Plan establishes a proposed allocation of the various uses throughout the TCAAP area and illustrates the current preferred development pattern for the area, the City has considered the proposal from Alatus LLC and its partners for modifications to the TCAAP Master Plan that proposed different locations for the allocated uses and amended the TCAAP Master Plan accordingly in December 2016. The City may consider on its own initiative to consider amendments to the adopted plan as development occurs or circumstances change in order to promote high quality development of the area consistent with City goals and this Plan. 6.4.10 Development Capacity and Net Residential Density The Metropolitan Council’s Thrive MSP 2040 assign a community designation of “suburban” which requires an average net residential density of at least five units per net residential acre. Densities lower than this are not an efficient use of the region’s sanitary sewer infrastructure. Net residential acreage is calculated by subtracting wetlands, water bodies, public parks, arterial streets, and identified natural resources that are protected by ordinance from gross acres. The number of net residential acres is then divided by the number of lots to determine net residential density. According to the 2016 land use data provided by the Metropolitan Council, there were 1,362 acres of net residential land in Arden Hills, which includes the rights- of-way of adjacent City streets. The Metropolitan Council lists 3,198 housing units in Arden Hills in 2015. Based on that information, the residential density in the developed portion of Arden Hills is approximately 2.35residential units per net residential acre. While this is below the five units per net residential acre required by the Metropolitan Council, the City is not required to raise densities in the built portion of Arden Hills. However, all future land uses should be able to accommodate development in average of five units per net residential acre. There are no expected land use changes that would result in a reduction in net residential density in the developed part of Arden Hills. Furthermore, the remaining vacant residential land that is south of Highway 96 and 10 is guided for development that could be built at a density of an average of five residential units per acre. Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 6-13 The approved Master Plan for the TCAAP property includes 162.2 acres of residential land and a maximum of 1,460 residential units for an overall maximum gross density of 9.00 units per acre. The gross density includes the neighborhood collector roads; however, it excludes parks, arterial roads, and the water infrastructure. 6.4.11 Staged Development Since the areas south of Highways 96 and 10 are considered fully developed and there is relatively little vacant property, a five year staged development has not been developed. While a small amount of vacant land exists in the developed portion of the City, development on the vacant land is unlikely to have a significant impact on the City’s or region’s infrastructure. As previously noted in Chapter 5 the demolition and remediation of the TCAAP site was completed in November 2015. Grading of the site and the construction of the main roadway are expected to begin in 2019. At this time, it is expected that private development will begin in late 2019 or 2020. The project is anticipated to be completed in phases over the next 10 to 20 years; however, the development timeline will depend on a number of conditions, including the market, transportation improvements, and other related factors. 6.5 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES In order to advance implementation of this land use chapter, the below activities are proposed. This list is not intended to be all-inclusive and additional activities that advance the land use goal are encouraged to be developed. o Update the City’s Zoning Code to bring it into conformance with the land uses in the Comprehensive Plan. o Evaluate zoning regulations to ensure that sufficient buffers are provided between commercial, industrial, and residential uses to protect the character of the City’s residential neighborhoods. o Develop a small area plan for the Red Fox/Grey Fox/Lexington Avenue business area to provide a more detailed redevelopment vision for incorporation into this Comprehensive Plan. o Develop design standards for commercial, industrial, and residential developments to ensure the construction of high-quality, sustainable, and aesthetically enhancing development. o Develop zoning regulations that restrict housing construction that is not sensitive to the character of the existing neighborhood. o Continue to enforce property maintenance codes to protect quality and property values in the City. Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 6-14 o Implement design standards for the TCAAP development to create a cohesive character that compliments the established neighborhoods in the City. o Work to protect significant environmental features on the AHATS property as park preserve. o Work with the National Guard on the AHATS property to develop synergistic uses such as a community center. o Consider zoning changes to the B-4 District based on the City’s vision for this area. o Determine the highest and best use for the vacant properties on the south end of Gateway Blvd along I-694 and rezone the properties accordingly. o Evaluate the uses within the industrial zoning districts to emphasize employment uses. o Evaluate the uses within the commercial zoning districts to ensure that there are an appropriate amount of retail and hospitality opportunities within Arden Hills. The above strategies should not be considered all-inclusive. New opportunities and strategies should be identified to further advance the City’s land use goal and policies.

To advance this land use goal, the following policies are proposed: o Evaluate and amend the land use regulations to achieve the highest possible development standards, enhance the natural environment, protect public health, support a vital mix of land uses, and promote flexible approaches to implement the Comprehensive Plan. o Ensure that land use regulations promote development that is compatible with nearby properties, neighborhood character, and natural features; minimize pedestrian and vehicular conflict; and visually enhance development. o Preserve the stability and quality of the city's neighborhoods while allowing for redevelopment that is complimentary to existing development. o Provide a balanced mix of residential, park, open space, and commercial land uses. o Construct all new development at an average density of at least three five residential units per net residential acre. o Explore the possibility of creating additional community gathering space in conjunction with public or private organizations, including AHATS. 6.1 INTRODUCTION Land use is a defining characteristic of a community. While land use does not operate independently from the other characteristics that create a community, it is a binding factor between transportation, housing, parks, paths, and other characteristics. Through zoning, subdivision, and other land use regulations, a city has powerful tools to guide the long-term, look, feel, and vitality of their community. Despite the vacant TCAAP property (see Chapter 5), Arden Hills is classified as a fully developed community by the Metropolitan Council’s 2030 Regional Development FrameworkThrive MSP 2040. The City is also entirely within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The areas south of Highways 96 and 10 were mostly developed by the end of the 1970s, and less than three percent of the developable land in that part of Arden Hills is vacant. Significant land use changes are not anticipated in the developed part of Arden Hills; however, study areas have been identified in the Future Land Use section of this chapter. The City seeks to take a proactive stance to protect the high quality of life that residents have come to expect and to prepare for potential redevelopment opportunities on TCAAP and throughout the community.

Over one third of the land in Arden Hills is designated for undeveloped use, which is new from the 2008 land use categories. This is due to the former Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant property and the vacant areas on college and corporate campuses. The next most prominent land use is all types of residential at 22 percent of the City’s total land area. Arden HillsThe smallest land use categories are grouping is commercial and industrial at three percent and four percent, respectively. Although there were few land use changes between 1998 and 2008, there are differences between the 1998 future land use data and the 2008 existing land use data. The differences are largely attributable to more accurate data in 2008, the delayed redevelopment of the TCAAP property, and other vacant property that was not developed. The two data sets use different land use descriptions because the 2008 existing land use data is based on actual land use while the 1998 future land use numbers were based on anticipated development. In addition to more accurate data, there were a few land use changes between 1998 and 2008. In 2007, the Hazelnut Park #3 subdivision and subsequent extension of Katie Lane was approved, which increased the amount of land used for right-of-way. As Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 6-9 part of the 2005 pavement management program, the road that connected Red Fox Road to Grey Fox Road was vacated, which reduced the amount of area used for right- of-way. Fernwood Avenue on the Boston Scientific (formerly Guidant) campus was vacated while Cummings Drive was dedicated to the City. The land uses on the TCAAP property were the most notable differences from what was expected in the 1998 future land uses to the actual land uses in 2008. Since 1998, the number of acres that were anticipated to be part of the TCAAP redevelopment has been reduced and, moreover, the redevelopment was delayed. Much of the TCAAP redevelopment is anticipated to occur in phases over the next 10 to 20 years depending on market conditions. Finally, of the 131 acres of vacant land in 2008, approximately 70 acres are zoned for residential, 40 acres are zoned commercial, and 21 acres are light industrial. The vacant areas have not significantly changed anticipated land use types between the 1998 and 2030 future land use maps. The vacant land does not include the TCAAP property, which is currently classified as public/institutional land since it is owned by the federal government. 6.4 FUTURE LAND USE - 20430 While redevelopment may occur on some parcels throughout the City, no significant land use changes in the developed areas of Arden Hills are anticipated (Figure 6.3). Most of the City’s projected population, household, and employment growth will occur on the TCAAP redevelopment site.

Right-of-way (ROW) – public vehicular, transit and/or pedestrian rights- of-way. 6.4.2 Former City Hall/Public Works Property The 6.82 acre former City Hall/Public Works property is undergoing a community vision process to determine how the property should be redeveloped (Figure 6.4). The property was home to the Arden Hills City Hall and Public Works for many years. While a redevelopment plan for this property was not adopted in time for this Comprehensive Plan, residential uses or a mix of residential and small-scale commercial uses are anticipated. Neither residential nor commercial development should require a change to the future land use designation. 6.4.36.4.2 Guiding Plan for the B2B-2 District In March 2008, the City initiated completed a visioning and planning process for the B-2 General Business District, which generally includes the commercial properties near County Road E between Lexington Avenue and Hamline Avenue/Highway 51 (Figure 6.4). This area hosts a number of retail, service, and office uses. Long considered the “downtown” of Arden Hills, the district is a mix of newer and older buildings and primarily retail, service, and office uses. As this corridor ages, market initiated redevelopment is anticipated. The City completed the planning process and accepted the “Guiding Plan for the B2B-2 District” in October 2008. The Guiding Plan includes a long-term vision for the future redevelopment of this corridor and addresses transportation issues, land uses, infrastructure improvements, landscaping, pedestrian facilities, building design, and site layout among other issues. While the primary uses along this corridor are likely to remain retail, commercial, and office, the Guiding Plan and subsequent land use changes add the possibility for multi-family residential housing in this area. Since the completion of the plan in 2008, the area has seen substantial redevelopment with the opening of new retail, restaurant, and multi-family residential housing uses. The City and Ramsey County completed infrastructure improvements on County Road E in 2015, including streetscape enhancements and improved pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Although the Guiding Plan document is not adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan, the future land use map has been updated to reflect the proposed land uses in the B2 District (CMU), and the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes a potential timeline for the public improvements described in the Guiding Plan (Appendix A).

This area includes Red Fox and Grey Fox roads and is bounded by Lexington Avenue, Highway 51, Interstate 694, and the Canadian Pacific railway (Figure 6.4). This area is used by a number of small and large businesses for a variety of retail, manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, and office uses. This area was largely developed between the 1950s and 1970s, though the retail area along Lexington Avenue has had some new development and redevelopment in the last 10 15 years. While good access to regional transportation has helped to continue to make this area viable, some of the buildings are becoming functionally obsolete for modern manufacturing, warehousing, and business uses. As redevelopment pressure increases, a more detailed guiding plan is required to comprehensively address the overall redevelopment and transportation needs in this area of the City. 6.4.4 B-4: Retail Center Zoning District The B-4 Zoning District is comprised of the properties with frontage on Dunlap Street between Grey Fox Road and Red Fox Road. There are no undeveloped parcels in the B-4 District and all the buildings are currently occupied. The properties are not generally retail in nature and therefore do not achieve the purpose statements of the B-4 District. The businesses are mostly wholesale sales, office/warehouse, light manufacturing, or repair orientated that are more typically industrial uses. The City should consider whether zoning changes in this area of the City would be appropriate in order to achieve the City’s vision for the district and to support existing businesses in the area. 5.3.46.4.5 Neighborhood Business The neighborhood business land use concept was developed in the 1998 Comprehensive Plan (Figure 6.1). The purpose of the Neighborhood Business land use concept was is to promote the development of commercial nodes that were compatible with the surrounding residential uses and provided services to residential areas. Commercial uses that would generate high traffic, noise, or other negative impacts were considered undesirable. Neighborhood business areas were are located at intersections or nodes at the edge of residential areas, on properties not considered desirable for housing, or properties that have Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 6-14 traditionally been occupied with neighborhood services. Housing could can be a component of the development but would not necessarily be the focal point. To date, the success of the Nneighborhood Bbusiness district has been mixed. Two projects have been developed under this zoning designation, and both resulted in the construction of small office buildings with a variety of services. However, neither of the projects focused on providing neighborhood level services. Nevertheless, the City seeks to maintain the neighborhood business areas and the long-term goal of creating small commercial areas that enhance the residential neighborhoods. There are a number undeveloped Neighborhood Business properties on Cleveland Avenue south of County Road E-2 and the former City Hall/Public Works site south of Highway 96 at Hamline Avenue. The size, shape and proximity to residential uses limits the commercial redevelopment opportunities, and the City may choose to consider appropriate residential uses for these sites. 6.4.6 Developable Gateway Business Properties There is about 35 acres of undeveloped land in the Gateway Business Zoning District northeast quadrant of Interstates 35W and 694. There are some wetlands and woodland that may influence future development, but considerate design may mitigate most impacts of development. The designation of this area is currently I/O – Light Industrial & Office. The City’s vision is for these undeveloped properties to be developed for a corporate office or similar type use. 6.4.7 Employment Zones and Consumer Zones The uses allowed in all the existing industrial zones and most of the commercial zones would allow for high economic activity uses adjacent to low economic activity uses. The uses allowed in some industrial zoning districts should be limited to create high economic activity districts with an emphasis on employment activities. Certain commercial zoning districts should be limited to encourage consumer-orientated uses. This employment versus consumer activity should be considered when revising the uses allowed in the various commercial and industrial zones. 5.3.76.4.8 Manufactured Home Community Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 6-15 The Arden Manor neighborhood has been identified as an important community and the primary supply of affordable housing options in the City. Bounded by Interstate 35W, Highway 96, and Highway 10, the neighborhood is facing pressure from adjacent highways and land uses. Although the 1998 Comprehensive Plan identified this area for potential redevelopment into non- residential uses, Tthe City anticipates this property will remain as a medium density residential use for the foreseeable future. Although complete impacts are not yet known, potential changes to Highways 10 and 96 may impact the manufactured home community. The City is currently in the process of reviewing road design proposals for this area. 5.3.76.4.9 TCAAP Redevelopment As noted in Chapter 5, the City of Arden Hills hired a consultant team in 2013, to create a Master Plan for the redevelopment of the TCAAP site. A central component of this work was the development of a Master Land Use Plan that allocated an appropriate mix of residential, commercial, industrial, civic, and open space uses on the site. The TCAAP Master Plan was approved by the City Council in July 2015 and amended by the City Council in December 2016, and has been incorporated in the revised 20430 Future Land Use data (Figure 6.3 and Table 6.4). The City began work on the zoning and design standards to implement the Master Land Use Plan in August 2014. These regulations and policies are found in the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC), which was approved in July 2015 and amended in December 2016. The TRC puts in place land use regulations that will achieve the community’s goals for the TCAAP redevelopment including: high development and design standards; defined residential neighborhoods and commercial districts interconnected by streets, trails, and sidewalks; energy resiliency and sustainability; and abundant parks and open space. Though the TCAAP Master Plan establishes a proposed allocation of the various uses throughout the TCAAP area and illustrates the current preferred development pattern for the area, the City has considered the proposal from Alatus LLC and its partners for modifications to the TCAAP Master Plan that proposed different locations for the allocated uses and amended the TCAAP Master Plan accordingly in December 2016. The City may consider on its own initiative to consider amendments to the adopted plan as development occurs or Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 6-16 circumstances change in order to promote high quality development of the area consistent with City goals and this Plan. 5.3.76.4.10 Development Capacity and Net Residential Density The Metropolitan Council’s Thrive MSP 20430 Regional Development Framework assign a community designation of “suburban” which requires an average net residential density of at least three five units per net residential acre. Densities lower than this are not an efficient use of the region’s sanitary sewer infrastructure. Net residential acreage is calculated by subtracting wetlands, water bodies, public parks, arterial streets, and identified natural resources that are protected by ordinance from gross acres. The number of net residential acres is then divided by the number of lots to determine net residential density. According to the 2005 2016 land use data provided by the Metropolitan Council, there were 1,3181,362 acres of net residential land in Arden Hills, which includes the rights-of-way of adjacent City streets. The United States Census BureauMetropolitan Council lists 3,017 198 housing units in Arden Hills in 201500. Based on that information, the residential density in the developed portion of Arden Hills is approximately 2.292.35 residential units per net residential acre. While this is below the three five units per net residential acre required by the Metropolitan Council, the City is not required to raise densities in the built portion of Arden Hills. However, all future land uses should be able to accommodate development in average of three five units per net residential acre. There are no expected land use changes that would result in a reduction in net residential density in the developed part of Arden Hills. Furthermore, the remaining vacant residential land that is south of Highway 96 and 10 is already zonedguided for development that could be built at a density of an average of three five residential units per acre. The approved Master Plan for the TCAAP property includes 162.2 acres of residential land and a maximum of 1,460 residential units for an overall maximum gross density of 9.00 units per acre. The gross density includes the neighborhood collector roads; however, it excludes parks, arterial roads, and the water infrastructure. 5.3.76.4.11 Staged Development Since the areas south of Highways 96 and 10 are considered fully developed and there is relatively little vacant property, a five year staged development has not Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 6-17 been developed. While a small amount of vacant land exists in the developed portion of the City, development on the vacant land is unlikely to have a significant impact on the City’s or region’s infrastructure. As previously noted in Chapter 5 .2.2 the demolition and remediation of the TCAAP site was completed in November 2015. After the demolition and remediation is concluded Ggrading of the site and the construction of the main roadway are expected towill begin for the construction of the Spine Road and trunk utilities in 20197. At this time, it is expected that private development will begin in late 20197 or 2020. The project is anticipated to be completed in phases over the next 10 to 20 years; however, the development timeline will depend on a number of conditions, including the market, transportation improvements, and other related factors. 6.5 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES In order to advance implementation of this land use chapter, the below activities are proposed. This list is not intended to be all-inclusive and additional activities that advance the land use goal are encouraged to be developed. o Update the City’s Zoning Code to bring it into conformance with the land uses in the Comprehensive Plan. o Evaluate zoning regulations to ensure that sufficient buffers are provided between commercial, industrial, and residential uses to protect the character of the City’s residential neighborhoods. o Develop a small area plans for the B-2, B-3, B-4, and I-Flex Zoning DistrictsRed Fox/Grey Fox/Lexington Avenue business area to provide a more detailed redevelopment vision for incorporation into this Comprehensive Plan. o Develop design standards for commercial, industrial, and residential developments to ensure the construction of high-quality, sustainable, and aesthetically enhancing development. o Develop zoning regulations that restrict housing construction that is not sensitive to the character of the existing neighborhood. o Continue to enforce property maintenance codes to protect quality and property values in the City. o Develop zoning classifications for all future development on the TCAAP property.

To achieve this housing goal, the following policies are proposed: o Promote the development of a variety of housing options by preserving and increasing high-quality housing opportunities that are suitable for a mix of ages, incomes and household types. o Encourage the incorporation of affordable and life-cycle housing into new development and redevelopment where feasible. o Maintain the quality, safety, and unique character of the City’s housing stock. o Preserve and strengthen the community’s neighborhoods to maintain a high- quality of life for residents. o Encourage housing development and redevelopment that is complimentary to and enhances the character of the City’s established neighborhoods. 7.1 INTRODUCTION One of the principal roles of a community is to serve as a place to live. In Arden Hills, 21.2 percent of all of the land area in the community is currently used for housing (not including TCAAP). The approved TCAAP Master Plan envisions that 38.0 percent of the total 427 acre site will be developed for residential uses. Because housing is such an important part of Arden Hills, maintaining the quality of the current housing stock while providing long-term opportunities for new housing is important to the ongoing vitality of the community and to retaining Arden Hills’ reputation as a highly desirable place to live. Dr a f t 1 1 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 Attachment D City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 7-2 7.2 CONTEXT According to the Metropolitan Council, Arden Hills had 3,198 housing units in 2015. A housing unit is the actual structure while a household refers to the people living in a housing unit. Approximately 66 percent of the housing units in Arden Hills are detached single-family homes, 13 percent are attached single family homes (commonly referred to as townhomes), 12 percent are multifamily, with five units or more, and finally eight percent of units are manufactured homes. Figure 7.1 – Arden Hills Housing Type Source: Metropolitan Council Household composition will play a role in defining future housing needs in Arden Hills. Between 2000 and 2015, increases were seen in both the number of non-family households and in householders living alone. Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 7-3 Figure 7.2 – Arden Hills Household Type Source: US Census Additionally, the age of Arden Hills’ residents will also impact housing choices. From 2000 to 2015, there was a significant decrease in residents between 45 and 54 years of age. Additionally, there have also been notable increases in the population between 65 and 74 as well as the 75+ age group.

From 1970 to 1979, 920 housing units were built in Arden Hills, the most of any decade to date. Of note is the fact that 50 percent of the housing in the community was constructed prior to 1974 (not including the manufactured homes). Homes that are older than 30 years may typically need more repairs and renovations.

Since 1990, group quarters and the number of people living in group quarters have increased: TABLE 7.1 – ARDEN HILLS GROUP QUARTERS POPULATION 1990 2000 2016 College Dormitories 631 1,557 1,655 Nursing Homes 384 411 623 Other Group Quarters 10 20 20 Total 1,025 1,988 2,298 Source: US Census, Bethel University, Presbyterian Homes Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 7-6 Almost the entire group quarters population is at Bethel University or Johanna Shores, a senior housing community owned and operated by Presbyterian Homes & Services. For the 2016/2017 school year, Bethel University had an occupancy of 1,655 students. The Johanna Shores housing facility has 126 units and is typically at capacity. The remaining group quarters population lives in group homes in residential areas of the City. The University of Northwestern is partially located in Arden Hills; however, the residence halls for the university are located in the adjacent community of Roseville. While group quarters housing is calculated separately from traditional housing, it is important to recognize this type of housing can impact the City’s sewer, water, transportation, parks, and recreation systems differently than traditional types of housing. It is likely that the number of people living in group quarters at Bethel University, Johanna Shores, and other group homes will increase as those facilities do have additional land to expand. Therefore, it is important for the City to work with these institutions to manage the potential impacts as well as promote a diversity of housing. 7.3 Household Forecasts The total number of households in Arden Hills is forecasted to increase by 1,300 households between 2020 and 2040.

In establishing its forecasts, the Metropolitan Council is assuming full development of the buildable portion of the TCAAP property by 2030 which will also represent essentially a full build-out of Arden Hills. TABLE 7.3 - PEOPLE PER HOUSEHOLD 2010 2020 2030 2040 2.45 3.13 2.93 2.93 Arden Hills’ households are projected to grow by more than 50% between 2010 and 2040. It is expected that most of the those new households would be occupied by young families which would increase the persons per household. 7.4 Housing Issues Three primary housing issues will need to be addressed by Arden Hills in the next 20 years. They include housing diversity, housing affordability, and housing quality. Each is discussed below. 7.4.1 Housing Diversity Life-cycle housing, which was referenced in the housing goals, is a common term used to describe the provision of housing types for all stages of life. Life-cycle housing is based on the premise that as people go through life, their housing needs change. A young person getting out of school and just starting out usually cannot afford to own a home so they often begin by renting. As a person grows older, they often establish a family and FIGURE 7.6 - LIFE CYCLE HOUSING Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 7-8 buy their first home, sometimes either a starter home or townhome. As a family’s income grows, they may move up to a larger home. Once the children leave and the family size decreases, parents often move back to a smaller home with fewer maintenance needs or to one of the growing number of either single-family or multi-family housing options that has an association that take care of home and property maintenance. Eventually, as a person ages, there is often a need for assisted living or an extended care facility. Housing in Arden Hills today is primarily focused on one stage of the housing life- cycle, move-up housing. Ironically, a significant number of units constructed in Arden Hills during the 1970s were oriented to the first-time homebuyer market. As housing prices have risen over the past three to four decades, what was once priced for a first-time buyer is now classified as move-up housing due to escalated prices. Arden Hills does still have a limited supply of more entry level housing. In 2014, there were 283 units in the Arden Manor manufactured home community, serving approximately 840 residents. Rental housing is another component of life-cycle housing that needs to be addressed. Rental housing is an important component of the overall housing supply since it provides options for both the beginning and later stages of the life- cycle chain. It may also serve the needs of several segments of the population including retail service employees, seniors, young adults just entering the workplace and economically disadvantaged households. Based on the homestead data from Ramsey County, 10 percent of the housing in Arden Hills is classified as non-homesteaded, which is a rough indicator for rental housing. According to the 2010 Census, slightly more than 86 percent of the occupied single family homes and townhomes (not including manufactured homes or condominiums) were owner occupied in 2010. Arden Hills promotes housing diversity through its long-term goals, policies, and strategies. The market is also expected to exert pressure on the City for more housing diversity. As was noted earlier, factors such as an aging population, a population that has more non-family households, and increased numbers of householders living alone is expected to drive demand for more attached, multi- family housing. Multi-family units expected to be in demand are likely to be oriented toward both owners and renters. Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 7-9 7.4.2 Housing Affordability Affordable housing is an issue in every Twin Cities area community. With housing costs outpacing many wages, it is becoming increasingly important to focus on affordable housing. Because of the disparity of housing costs and wages throughout the Twin Cities, affordable housing continues to be a major initiative of the Metropolitan Council. According to the Metropolitan Council, housing is considered affordable if it is priced at or below 30 percent of the gross income of a household earning 50 percent of the Twin Cities median family income. In 2017, the area median income for the seven-county Minneapolis-St. Paul area adjusted by the Department of Housing and Urban Development for a family of four was $90,400. Therefore, in 2017, housing was considered affordable if annual housing costs for a family of four do not exceed 30 percent of $45,200, which translates to $13,560 per year or $1,130 per month for housing. While the purchasing power of $1,130 per month depends on interest rates and other household factors, it could be sufficient to purchase a home that is priced in the range of $150,500. To implement the Livable Communities Act in 2007, the Metropolitan Council uses as the upper limit of affordability for ownership purchase price and monthly rents, the following dollar amounts: TABLE 7.4 - 2015 OWNED OCCUPIED AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRICES Household Income Level:Affordable Home Price 80% of area median income $238,500 50% of area median income $151,500 30% of area median income $84,500 Source: Metropolitan Council Table 7.5 - Rental Housing Affordable Prices Number of Bedrooms Affordable Rent at 30% of AMI Affordable Rent at 50% of AMI Affordable Rent at 80% of AMI Studio $450 $751 $1,201 Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 7-10 1-BR $483 $805 $1,288 2-BR $579 $966 $1,545 3-BR $669 $1,115 $1,784 4-BR $747 $1,245 $1,992 The average housing value in 2015 was $281,300. Based on 2015 assessed property values from Ramsey County, 34.3 percent of the housing was at or below the affordable home price of $238,500 and approximately 12.5 percent was at or below $150,500. The following table illustrates the assessed values of owner-occupied housing units in Arden Hills. Values are differentiated above and below the 80% Area Median Income of $240,000.

The total need for newly constructed affordable housing in the Twin Cities is estimated to be 37,900 units between 2021 and 2030.Each community’s share of the regional need is allocated based on a number of factors. According to the Metropolitan Council, 33.2 percent of new housing units in all cities should be affordable. Allocations are then adjusted by the balance of low-wage jobs and workers and the and existing affordable housing stock. Based on the formula, the Metropolitan Council has allocated a need for 373 affordable housing units to Arden Hills between now and the year 2030. Housing—along with food, clothing, transportation and medical care—is a necessity. For many households, it is their largest monthly expense. When households spend more than 30% of their monthly income on housing costs, they are considered “cost-burdened.” The inability of households to find housing they can afford has far-reaching effects. For example, a recent national report found cost-burdened households (especially low-income households experiencing cost burden) are forced to make cutbacks on food and health care spending, undermining their overall well-being. 7.4.2.1 Existing Affordable Housing Need While the Census Bureau does not report household incomes in the ranges identical to the affordable income limits of the Metropolitan Council, Table 7.10 represents an approximation of the number of Arden Hills households that fall within the three AMI ranges. On a pro-rated basis, there is 302 households with incomes at 30% of AMI and below, 334 households with incomes between 30% and 50% of AMI, and 500 households with incomes between 50% and 80% of AMI. While initially the 237 cost burdened households with incomes of 30% of AMI or below listed in Table 7.8 would indicate that Arden Hills would need more housing units affordable at 30% of AMI, the 317 existing housing units affordable at 30% of AMI exceeds the approximately 302 households in Arden Hills with incomes at 30% AMI or below. What appears to be happening is that households with incomes greater than 30% AMI are occupying housing units Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 7-12 affordable at 30% AMI and below. There are approximately 500 households with incomes between 50% and 80% AMI and there are only 216 housing units available that are affordable to households with between 50% and 80% AMI. Since there are only 154 cost burdened households with incomes between 50% and 80% AMI, that would seem to indicate that 130 households with incomes between 50% and 80% AMI living in housing units that are affordable to households with incomes less than 50% AMI or below. In summary, Arden Hills’ existing housing stock is adequate to address the needs of households with incomes between 30% and 50% AMI and incomes below 30% AMI. Arden Hills should encourage the development of additional housing units affordable to households with incomes between 50% and 80%, such as owner occupied townhome units, and therefore free up the existing housing units affordable to households with incomes between 30% and 50% AMI and incomes below 30% AMI.

Communities have two options to provide this density: Option 1 is to guide sufficient land at a minimum of 8 dwelling units per net acre (du/ac), and Option 2 is to guide sufficient land at a minimum of 12 du/ac for the affordable housing allocation of 50% AMI and below and sufficient land at a minimum of 6 du/ac for the affordable housing allocation between 51% and 80% AMI. Arden Hills has proposed to use Option 2 to achieve the affordable housing allocation.

These areas include the surplus Town Center units from TCAAP, the Parkshore Drive area and the old City Hall/Public Works site, both of which are guiding Medium Density Residential (MDR), and the B-2 District around County Road E, which is guided Community Mixed Use (CMU). The City expects that 6% of the CMU area will redevelop between 2021 and 2030 for residential uses. At the minimum required densities, these areas could provide 147 units.

As a participant, the City of Arden Hills continues to be eligible to compete for grant funding provided by the Livable Communities Act (LCA) to assist with clean-up operations for polluted land for redevelopment, creating development or redevelopment opportunities that demonstrate efficient use of land and infrastructure through connected development patterns, and opportunities to create more affordable housing. 7.4.2.3 Programs Numerous programs are available to help the City meet its housing goals and policies. The City shall consider utilizing certain programs such as fee waivers and/or adjustments to facilitate affordability. In addition, the City may also consider encouraging and working with potential developers who plan to use federal low income housing tax credits to do affordable rental housing. Other options include: affordable housing assistance or development and preservation Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 7-16 programs available through the local, county, state, and federal government. The City may consider the following programs in order to meet its housing goals: Minnesota Housing Consolidated Request for Proposals: The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency provides a once annually request for proposal (RFP) where affordable housing developers can apply for funding to construct affordable housing. Arden Hills encourages developers to apply to the Consolidated RFP to provide affordable housing for those Arden Hills residents in need. The RFP is a useful tool to support the development of rental housing units affordable at 50% AMI or below. Community Development Block Grants (CDBG): The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides CDBG funds to communities with over 45,000 residents for the use of providing and maintaining affordable housing. Ramsey County Community and Economic Development (CED) administers these CDBG funds for the City of Arden Hills. Arden Hills encourages the Ramsey County CED to use CDBG funds to provide affordable housing for those Arden Hills residents in need. CDBG is a useful tool to preserve both rental and ownership units affordable at 80% AMI and below. HOME Funds: The HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) is a flexible federal grant program that allows Ramsey County to fund affordable housing activities for very low and low-income families or individuals, homeless families, and persons with special needs. Arden Hills encourages the Ramsey County CED to use HOME funds to provide affordable housing for those Arden Hills residents in need. HOME funds are a useful tool for both the preservation and development of both rental and ownership units affordable at 50% AMI and below. Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) Grants: The NSP was established by HUD for the purpose of stabilizing communities that have suffered from foreclosures and abandonment. The focus of this program is the purchase, rehabilitation and resale of foreclosed and abandoned properties. The NSP operates under Ramsey County for Arden Hills. Arden Hills encourages Ramsey County to use NSP funds to purchase foreclosed or abandoned properties to provide affordable housing for those Arden Hills residents in need. NSP funds are a useful tool to preserve ownership units affordable at 80% AMI and below. Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 7-17 Homebuyer Assistance Programs: Homebuyer assistance programs funded directly by Ramsey County CED are available to first time homebuyers. Arden Hills encourages residents to contact the Minnesota Homeownership Center regarding homebuyer assistance programs that are currently available. Homebuyer assistance funds are a useful tool to preserve ownership units affordable at 80% AMI and below. Repair and Rehabilitation Support: Ramsey County offers a residential rehabilitation deferred loan program to assist homeowners with home repair projects. Repair and rehabilitation support is a useful tool to preserve ownership units affordable at 80% AMI and below. Foreclosure Prevention: The Housing Crisis Response in Ramsey County provides foreclosure counseling to Arden Hills residents. The Minnesota Home Ownership Center and Lutheran Social Services may also be resources to the residents of Arden Hills. Foreclosure prevention funds are a useful tool to preserve ownership units affordable at 80% AMI and below. Energy Assistance: Ramsey County offers an energy conservation deferred loan program to Arden Hills residents. EnergySmartsPays.com is also an energy conservation program that is available. Energy assistance is a useful tool to preserve both rental and ownership units affordable at 80% AMI and below. Rental Assistance: Renters interested in suburban rental housing assistance are encouraged to contact the Metro Housing and Redevelopment Authority, which is the program that administers the Section 8/Housing Voucher program to Arden Hills residents. Rental assistance is a useful tool to preserve rental units affordable at 80% AMI and below. Livable Communities Grants: Arden Hills is a participating community in the Metropolitan Council’s Livable Community Act (LCA) programs. Arden Hills will apply for livable communities grant on behalf of developers who are provide level of affordable housing and the guaranteed length of affordability that generates a public benefit greater than the resources required to apply for and administer the livable community grants. LCA grants are a useful tool for the development of both rental and ownership units affordable at 80% AMI and below. Local Fair Housing Policy: Ramsey County works with the Twin Cities Metro Area Fair Housing Implementation Council to stop discrimination and promote integration. Any Arden Hills residents that feel they have been subjected to unfair Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 7-18 housing practices should contact this organization. Arden Hills encourages the Ramsey County CED to continue the implementation of its fair housing policy. Local fair housing policy is a useful tool for the preservation of both rental units affordable at 80% AMI and below. Land Trusts: There is no established Land Trust serving the City of Arden Hills currently. Should a Land Trust be established, the Rondo Community Land Trust in St. Paul would be a good model to use. A land trust can be a useful tool for both the development and preservation of ownership units affordable at 80% AMI and below. 7.4.2.4 Fiscal Devices Fiscal devices, such as revenue bonds, tax increment, financing, or tax abatement can be used to help ease the construction and availability of affordable housing in the City of Arden Hills. Development Authorities: Arden Hills does not have its own Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) and depends on Ramsey County Coordinate HRA for affordable housing and redevelopment services. Arden Hills encourages Ramsey County to construct, finance and/or partner with private developers to provide affordable housing for those Arden Hills residents in need. Development authorities are a useful tool to support the development of both rental and ownership housing units affordable at 50% AMI or below. Housing Bonds: Minnesota State Statute allows HRAs the ability to issue housing bonds to provide affordable housing. Arden Hills encourages the Ramsey County HRA to issue housing bonds to provide affordable housing for those Arden Hills residents in need. Housing bonds are a useful tool to support the development of both rental and ownership housing units affordable at 50% AMI or below. Tax Abatement: Cities may issue bonds to be used to support the construction of affordable housing and use a portion of the property tax received (tax abatement) from the development to finance these bonds. This removes this property taxes revenue from paying for the services needed for this property, its residents and the community in general. Tax abatement is a useful tool to Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 7-19 support the development of both rental and ownership housing units affordable at 80% AMI or below. Tax Increment Financing: Cities may create a housing district to create a tax increment financing (TIF) district. The TIF bonds issued on this district are to be used to support the construction of affordable housing and entire property taxes received above the original tax value (increment) from the development to finance these bonds. This removes this property taxes revenue from paying for the services needed for this property, its residents and the community in general. TIF is a useful tool to support the development of both rental and ownership housing units affordable at 50% AMI or below. 7.4.2.5 Official Controls Official controls and land use regulation can be used to assist in the construction of affordable housing units. Controls and regulations can also be used to simplify the process of expanding local housing options also. Fee Waivers or Adjustments: Cities may waive or reduce fee to reduce the cost of construction of affordable housing. Conversely, State rules require that the fee that a City charges be related to the cost of providing the services for which the fee are collected. This waiver or reduction could create a deficiency in the funding for services which would be required the use of general funds to resolve. The City should develop a fee waiver or reduction policy to determine when the level of affordable housing and the guaranteed length of affordability provide a public benefit great enough to justify the reduction or waiver of development fees. Fee waivers or adjustments are a useful tool to support the development of both rental and ownership housing units affordable at 80% AMI or below. Zoning and Subdivision Policies: The City has the ability to adjust its zoning and subdivision regulations through a planned unit development (PUD). Zoning and subdivision regulation are created in part to mitigate the impacts that a development may have on adjoining properties. When considering a PUD for affordable housing, the City should determine when the level of affordable housing and the guaranteed length of affordability provide a public benefit great enough to justify the potential impacts that would result from a deviation in the zoning or subdivision regulations. PUD is a useful tool to support the Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 7-20 development of both rental and ownership housing units affordable at 80% AMI or below. 4(d) Tax Program: The 4(d) tax program provides a 4% tax credit to affordable housing developers. This program is administered through the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. Arden Hills encourages Minnesota Housing Finance Agency to continue administer the 4(d) tax program to provide affordable housing for those Arden Hills residents in need. 4(d) tax bond funds are a useful tool to support the development of rental housing units affordable at 50% AMI or below.

As was pointed out earlier, the age of the majority of the current housing stock makes ongoing maintenance a community concern. If Arden Hills’ existing neighborhoods are going to remain attractive places to live, owners will need to continue maintenance and reinvestment efforts. Encouraging housing maintenance can be done in two ways, either through voluntary efforts or through regulatory requirements. Many communities rely on both. Ideally, all residents will maintain their property in a sound and attractive manner. Realistically, however, a small percentage of properties will not be adequately maintained and in such cases, they can have a significant negative impact on surrounding properties and even the neighborhood as a whole. Arden Hills relies primarily on individual owners to maintain property. The City has nuisance provisions in its local code, it enforces the Minnesota State Building Code, and the International Property Maintenance Code was adopted in 2015. In 2009, the City approved the Rental Registration Ordinance that requires owners of rental units to register with the City annually. Additionally, Arden Hills will continue to work with programs offered by county, regional, state and federal agencies as appropriate. Such programs are more limited than they were in the past due to changes in priorities and reductions in funding. 7.5 Future Opportunities While Arden Hills does have a limited number of smaller, infill vacant parcels south of Highway 96, future housing opportunities will largely come from the development of the TCAAP site. TCAAP offers an unparalleled opportunity to create a mix of housing integrated with employment, entertainment, recreation and transit service. The flexibility included in the design and development regulations for the site will help the community address its goals of housing diversity and housing affordability. The TCAAP site will include approximately 427 acres of gross development area. Of this total, approximately 162.2 acres of land has been designated specifically for residential development. Residential areas are divided between several zoning districts with varying gross density requirements. A range of different housing types will be accommodated, including single-family detached homes, twin homes, townhomes, manor homes, apartments, condominiums, and senior housing. The City expects that up to 1,460 housing units will be constructed on the site at the time of full development. Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 7-23 The residential component of the TCAAP site will offer a future mix of housing that will compliment Arden Hills’ current supply of predominately single-family detached housing. It will provide opportunities to address the changing needs of the local population and it will attract new people to the community. Combined with the City’s efforts to maintain the current supply of housing, the development of the TCAAP site will continue Arden Hills’ position in the marketplace as a highly desirable place to live. 7.6 Implementation Strategies In order to advance the policies and ideas identified in this chapter, the following implementation strategies could be used: o Review City codes to consider and encourage a range of housing opportunities and innovative site design. o Pursue grants or other opportunities that promote the construction of affordable housing. o Implement the adopted rental regulations to ensure the functionality and maintenance of rental properties. o Explore the adoption of an administrative fine program to deter ongoing nuisance and property maintenance issues. o Promote the use of high quality materials in new housing construction to minimize long-term deterioration of the housing stock. o Ensure safety, livability and durability of the housing stock through enforcement of the Minnesota State Building Code, which includes educating property owners and residents on housing and property maintenance codes. o Develop regulations that prohibit the construction of housing that is not compatible with the scale of the existing neighborhood. o Implement adopted standards to protect lakes, wetlands, trees, and other open spaces during redevelopments and infill projects. o Establish architectural/design guidelines for new developments and redevelopments. Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 7-24 o Identify programs, policies, and strategies that encourage aging in place for senior citizens. The above strategies should not be considered all-inclusive. New opportunities and strategies should be identified to further advance the City’s housing goal and policies. Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 7-1 7.Housing Goal: Develop and maintain a strong, vital, diverse and stable housing supply for all members of the community. To achieve this housing goal, the following policies are proposed: o Promote the development of a variety of housing options by preserving and increasing high-quality housing opportunities that are suitable for a mix of ages, incomes and household types. o Encourage the incorporation of affordable and, life-cycle, and work force housing into new development and redevelopment where feasible. o Maintain the quality, safety, and unique character of the City’s housing stock. o Preserve and strengthen the community’s neighborhoods to maintain a high- quality of life for residents. o Encourage housing development and redevelopment that is complimentary to and enhances the character of the City’s established neighborhoods. 7.1 INTRODUCTION One of the principal roles of a community is to serve as a place to live. In Arden Hills, 21.223.1 percent of all of the land area in the community is currently used for housing (not including TCAAP). However, if public open spaces and roads are removed, housing accounts for 52.9 percent of all developed land in Arden Hills. The approved TCAAP Master Plan envisions that 38.0 percent of the total 427 acre site will be developed for residential uses. Because housing is such an important part of Arden Hills, maintaining the quality of the current housing stock while providing long-term opportunities for new housing is important to the ongoing vitality of the community and to retaining Arden Hills’ reputation as a highly desirable place to live. Dr a f t 1 1 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 Attachment E City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 7-2 7.2 CONTEXT According to the United States CensusMetropolitan Council, Arden Hills had 3,198017 housing units in 201500. A housing unit is the actual structure while a household refers to the people living in a housing unit. Approximately 668 percent of the housing units in Arden Hills are detached single-family homes, 132 percent are attached single family homes (commonly referred to as townhomes), and nine 12 percent are multifamily, with five units or more, and finally eight percent of units are manufactured homes. These three housing types comprise almost 90 percent of the City’s housing supply. Arden Hills has the second highest percentage of single-family homes compared to adjacent communities and is significantly above the Ramsey County and metropolitan area average. Apartments with ten or more units are just 2.74 percent of the City’s housing stock. The City has just one traditional apartment building with 37 units and one condominium building with 72 units. The City has very few duplexes, which are relatively more prevalent in other metropolitan communities (Figure 7.2). 0 500 1,000 1,500 2,000 2,500 1-unit detached 1-unit attached 2 to 4 units 5 to 9 units 10 or more units Mobile home, trailer, or other Ho u s i n g U n i t s 1990 2000 Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 7-3 Figure 7.1 – Arden Hills Housing Type Source: US Metropolitan CouncilCensus 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% 7-C o u n t y M e t r o Ra m s e y C o u n t y Ard e n H i l l s Mo u n d s V i e w Ne w B r i g h t o n Ro s e v i l l e Sh o r e v i e w Single Family (attached and detached)Duplexes Mulit-Family and attached housing Mobile homes Other units Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 7-4 Figure 7.2 – Housing Type by Community Source: US Census Household composition will play a role in defining future housing needs in Arden Hills.

From 1990 2000 to 20002015, there was a significant deincrease in residents between 45 and 54 years of age. By 2012, this segment will increase in absolute numbers and as a percentage of the population. Additionally, by 2012there have also been notable increases in the population between 65 and 74 as well as the 75+ age group will continue to occur.

From 1970 to 1979, 920 housing units were built in Arden Hills, the most of any decade to date. Of note is the fact that 50 percent of the housing in the community was constructed prior to 1974 (not including the manufactured homes). Homes that are older than 30 years may typically need more repairs and renovations. 97 166 455 208 920 537 201 35 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1,000 1939 or Earlier 1940 - 1949 1950 - 1959 1960 - 1969 1970 - 1979 1980 - 1989 1990 - 1999 2000 - 2006 Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 7-8 73 152 542 220 857 738 260 86 117 63 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 Figure 7.5 – Age of Housing Stock Source: 1990 & 2000 US Census and City of Arden Hills2015 American Community Survey Group quarters, which include college dormitories, nursing homes, and group homes, are calculated separately from traditional types of housing such as single family homes, townhomes, and apartments. Since 1990, group quarters and the number of people living in group quarters have increased: TABLE 7.1 – ARDEN HILLS GROUP QUARTERS POPULATION 1990 2000 2016 College Dormitories 631 1,557 1,655 Nursing Homes 384 411 623 Other Group Quarters 10 20 20 Total 1,025 1,988 2,298 Source: US Census, Bethel University, Presbyterian Homes Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 7-9 Almost the entire group quarters population is at Bethel University and Presbyterian Homes. Between 2000 and 2004, Bethel University increased the on-campus housing capacity from 1,530 to 1,963 students. Presbyterian Homes, a senior housing facility, had a 377 capacity and 19 senior apartment units and is typically at capacity. The remaining group quarters population lives in group homes in the residential areas of the City. Almost the entire group quarters population is at Bethel University or Johanna Shores, a senior housing community owned and operated by Presbyterian Homes & Services. For the 2016/2017 school year, Bethel University had an occupancy of 1,655 students. The Johanna Shores housing facility has 126 units and is typically at capacity. The remaining group quarters population lives in group homes in residential areas of the City. The University of Northwestern is partially located in Arden Hills; however, the residence halls for the university are located in the adjacent community of Roseville. While group quarters housing is calculated separately from traditional housing, it is important to recognize this type of housing can impact the City’s sewer, water, transportation, parks, and recreation systems differently than traditional types of housing. It is likely that the number of people living in group quarters at Bethel University, Presbyterian homesJohanna Shores, and other group homes will increase as those facilities do have additional land to expand. Therefore, it is important for the City to work with these institutions to manage the potential impacts as well as promote a diversity of housing. 7.3 Household Forecasts The total number of households in Arden Hills is forecasted to increase by over 55 1,300 households percent between 20210 and 2040.

They include housing diversity, housing affordability, and housing quality. Each is discussed below. 7.4.1 Housing Diversity Life-cycle housing, which was referenced in the housing goals, is a common term used to describe the provision of housing types for all stages of life. Life-cycle housing is based on the premise that as people go through life, their housing needs change. A young person getting out of school and just starting out usually cannot afford to own a home so they often begin by renting. As a person grows older, they often establish a family and buy their first home, sometimes either a starter home or townhome. As a family’s income grows, they may move up to a larger home. Once the children leave and the family size decreases, parents often move back to a smaller home with fewer maintenance needs or to one of the growing number of either single-family or multi-family housing options that has an association that take care of home FIGURE 7.6 - LIFE CYCLE HOUSING Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 7-13 and property maintenance. Eventually, as a person ages, there is often a need for assisted living or an extended care facility. Housing in Arden Hills today is primarily focused on one stage of the housing life- cycle, move-up housing. Ironically, a significant number of units constructed in Arden Hills during the 1970s were oriented to the first-time homebuyer market. As housing prices have risen over the past three to four decades, what was once priced for a first-time buyer is now classified as move-up housing due to escalated prices. Arden Hills does still have a limited supply of more entry level housing. In 201047, there were 2835 units in the Arden Manor manufactured home community and approximately 80 percent of the units were owner occupied, serving approximately 840 residents. Rental housing is another component of life-cycle housing that needs to be addressed. Rental housing is an important component of the overall housing supply since it provides options for both the beginning and later stages of the life- cycle chain. It may also serve the needs of several segments of the population including retail service employees, seniors, young adults just entering the workplace and economically disadvantaged households. Based on the homestead data from Ramsey County, 10 percent of the housing in Arden Hills is classified as non-homesteaded, which is a rough indicator for rental housing. According to Ramsey Countythe 2010 Census, property information, slightly more than 8694 percent of the occupied single family homes and townhomes (not including manufactured homes or condominiums) were owner occupied in 20082010. Arden Hills promotes housing diversity through its long-term goals, policies, and strategies. The market is also expected to exert pressure on the City for more housing diversity. As was noted earlier, factors such as an aging population, a population that has more non-family households, and increased numbers of householders living alone is expected to drive demand for more attached, multi- family housing. Multi-family units expected to be in demand are likely to be oriented toward both owners and renters.

With housing costs outpacing many wages, it is becoming increasingly important to focus on affordable housing. Because of the disparity of housing costs and wages throughout the Twin Cities, affordable housing continues to be a major initiative of the Metropolitan Council. According to the Metropolitan Council, housing is considered affordable if it is priced at or below 30 percent of the gross income of a household earning 560 percent of the Twin Cities median family income. In 20107, the area median income for the seven-county Minneapolis-St. Paul area adjusted by the Department of Housing and Urban Development for a family of four was $78,50090,400. Therefore, in 20107, housing was considered affordable if annual housing costs for a family of four do not exceed 30 percent of $47,100$45,200, which translates to $13,5604,130 per year or $1,13077.50 per month for housing. While the purchasing power of $1,177.50 130 per month depends on interest rates and other household factors, it could be sufficient to purchase a home that is priced in the range of $150,5000. To implement the Livable Communities Act in 2007, the Metropolitan Council uses as the upper limit of affordability for ownership purchase price and monthly rents, the following dollar amounts: TABLE 7.5 4 - 201507 OWNED OCCUPIED AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRICES Household Income Level:Affordable Home Price 80% of area median income $238,500 50% of area median income $151,500 30% of area median income $84,500 Source: Metropolitan Council Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 7-15 TABLE 7.6 5 - RENTAL HOUSING AFFORDABLE PRICES Bedroom size: *Monthly gross rent including tenant-paid utilities, affordable at 50% of area median income Efficiency $687 1 bedroom $736 2 bedrooms $883 3 bedrooms $1,020 4 bedrooms $1,138 2007 RENTAL HOUSING Source: Metropolitan Council Number of Bedrooms Affordable Rent at 30% of AMI Affordable Rent at 50% of AMI Affordable Rent at 80% of AMI Studio $450 $751 $1,201 1-BR $483 $805 $1,288 2-BR $579 $966 $1,545 3-BR $669 $1,115 $1,784 4-BR $747 $1,245 $1,992 The mean assessed value of housing in Arden Hills in 2007 was $291,778 with a median of $272,100 (Figure 7.7). The average housing value in 2015 was $281,300. Based on 201507 assessed property values from Ramsey County, 34.325 percent of the housing was at or below the affordable home price of $206,800238,500 and approximately 12.53 percent was at or below $1502,5000.

The report not only forecasts the regional need by 20320 for newly constructed, affordable housing but it allocates each community’s share of the regional need. The total need for newly constructed affordable housing in the Twin Cities is estimated to be 37,90051,000 units between 20211 and 20320. Each community’s share of the regional need is allocated based on a number of factors. According to the Metropolitan Council, 30.6 33.2 percent of new housing units in all cities should be affordable. Allocations are then adjusted by the balance of low-wage jobs and workers and thejob proximity and, the composition of the existing affordable housing stock and access to transit service. Based on the formula, the Metropolitan Council has allocated a need for 288 373 affordable housing units to Arden Hills between now and the year 20320. In order to ensure that this need can be met, Arden Hills has allocated several land use classifications on the Future Land Use Map with development standards that may accommodate affordable housing on TCAAP. In the remainder of Arden Hills, the City expects the majority of new affordable housing units to be constructed in areas designated as Medium Density Residential or High Density Residential on the Future Land Use Map. The City would not seek to concentrate affordable housing in any particular area.

As a participant, the City of Arden Hills continues to be eligible to compete for grant funding provided by the Livable Communities Act (LCA) to assist with clean-up operations for polluted land for redevelopment, creating development or redevelopment opportunities that demonstrate efficient use of land and infrastructure through connected development patterns, and opportunities to create more affordable housing. Housing—along with food, clothing, transportation and medical care—is a necessity. For many households, it is their largest monthly expense. When households spend more than 30% of their monthly income on housing costs, they are considered “cost-burdened.” The inability of households to find housing they can afford has far-reaching effects. For example, a recent national report found cost-burdened households (especially low-income households experiencing cost burden) are forced to make cutbacks on food and health care spending, undermining their overall well-being. 7.4.2.1 Existing Affordable Housing Need While the Census Bureau does not report household incomes in the ranges identical to the affordable income limits of the Metropolitan Council, Table 7.10 represents an approximation of the number of Arden Hills households that fall within the three AMI ranges. On a pro-rated basis, there is 302 households with incomes at 30% of AMI and below, 334 households with incomes between 30% and 50% of AMI, and 500 households with incomes between 50% and 80% of AMI. While initially the 237 cost burdened households with incomes of 30% of AMI or below listed in Table 7.8 would indicate that Arden Hills would need more housing units affordable at 30% of AMI, the 317 existing housing units affordable at 30% of AMI exceeds the approximately 302 households in Arden Hills with incomes at 30% AMI or below. What appears to be happening is that households with incomes greater than 30% AMI are occupying housing units affordable at 30% AMI and below. There are approximately 500 households with incomes between 50% and 80% AMI and there are only 216 housing units available that are affordable to households with between 50% and 80% AMI. Since there are only 154 cost burdened households with incomes between 50% Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 7-18 and 80% AMI, that would seem to indicate that 130 households with incomes between 50% and 80% AMI living in housing units that are affordable to households with incomes less than 50% AMI or below. In summary, Arden Hills’ existing housing stock is adequate to address the needs of households with incomes between 30% and 50% AMI and incomes below 30% AMI. Arden Hills should encourage the development of additional housing units affordable to households with incomes between 50% and 80%, such as owner occupied townhome units, and therefore free up the existing housing units affordable to households with incomes between 30% and 50% AMI and incomes below 30% AMI.

Communities have two options to provide this density: Option 1 is to guide sufficient land at a minimum of 8 dwelling units per net acre (du/ac), and Option 2 is to guide sufficient land at a minimum of 12 du/ac for the affordable housing allocation of 50% AMI and below and sufficient land at a minimum of 6 du/ac for the affordable housing allocation between 51% and 80% AMI. Arden Hills has proposed to use Option 2 to achieve the affordable housing allocation.

These areas include the surplus Town Center units from TCAAP, the Parkshore Drive area and the old City Hall/Public Works site, both of which are guiding Medium Density Residential (MDR), and the B-2 District around County Road E, which is guided Community Mixed Use (CMU). The City expects that 6% of the CMU area will redevelop between 2021 and 2030 for residential uses. At the minimum required densities, these areas could provide 147 units.

The City shall consider utilizing certain programs such as fee waivers and/or adjustments to facilitate affordability. In addition, the City may also consider encouraging and working with potential developers who plan to use federal low income housing tax credits to do affordable rental housing. Other options include: affordable housing assistance or development and preservation programs available through the local, county, state, and federal government. The City may consider the following programs in order to meet its housing goals: Minnesota Housing Consolidated Request for Proposals: The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency provides a once annually request for proposal (RFP) where affordable housing developers can apply for funding to construct affordable housing. Arden Hills encourages developers to apply to the Consolidated RFP to provide affordable housing for those Arden Hills residents in need. The RFP is a useful tool to support the development of rental housing units affordable at 50% AMI or below. Community Development Block Grants (CDBG): The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides CDBG funds to communities Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 7-22 with over 45,000 residents for the use of providing and maintaining affordable housing. Ramsey County Community and Economic Development (CED) administers these CDBG funds for the City of Arden Hills. Arden Hills encourages the Ramsey County CED to use CDBG funds to provide affordable housing for those Arden Hills residents in need. CDBG is a useful tool to preserve both rental and ownership units affordable at 80% AMI and below. HOME Funds: The HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) is a flexible federal grant program that allows Ramsey County to fund affordable housing activities for very low and low-income families or individuals, homeless families, and persons with special needs. Arden Hills encourages the Ramsey County CED to use HOME funds to provide affordable housing for those Arden Hills residents in need. HOME funds are a useful tool for both the preservation and development of both rental and ownership units affordable at 50% AMI and below. Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) Grants: The NSP was established by HUD for the purpose of stabilizing communities that have suffered from foreclosures and abandonment. The focus of this program is the purchase, rehabilitation and resale of foreclosed and abandoned properties. The NSP operates under Ramsey County for Arden Hills. Arden Hills encourages Ramsey County to use NSP funds to purchase foreclosed or abandoned properties to provide affordable housing for those Arden Hills residents in need. NSP funds are a useful tool to preserve ownership units affordable at 80% AMI and below. Homebuyer Assistance Programs: Homebuyer assistance programs funded directly by Ramsey County CED are available to first time homebuyers. Arden Hills encourages residents to contact the Minnesota Homeownership Center regarding homebuyer assistance programs that are currently available. Homebuyer assistance funds are a useful tool to preserve ownership units affordable at 80% AMI and below. Repair and Rehabilitation Support: Ramsey County offers a residential rehabilitation deferred loan program to assist homeowners with home repair projects. Repair and rehabilitation support is a useful tool to preserve ownership units affordable at 80% AMI and below. Foreclosure Prevention: The Housing Crisis Response in Ramsey County provides foreclosure counseling to Arden Hills residents. The Minnesota Home Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 7-23 Ownership Center and Lutheran Social Services may also be resources to the residents of Arden Hills. Foreclosure prevention funds are a useful tool to preserve ownership units affordable at 80% AMI and below. Energy Assistance: Ramsey County offers an energy conservation deferred loan program to Arden Hills residents. EnergySmartsPays.com is also an energy conservation program that is available. Energy assistance is a useful tool to preserve both rental and ownership units affordable at 80% AMI and below. Rental Assistance: Renters interested in suburban rental housing assistance are encouraged to contact the Metro Housing and Redevelopment Authority, which is the program that administers the Section 8/Housing Voucher program to Arden Hills residents. Rental assistance is a useful tool to preserve rental units affordable at 80% AMI and below. Livable Communities Grants: Arden Hills is a participating community in the Metropolitan Council’s Livable Community Act (LCA) programs. Arden Hills will apply for livable communities grant on behalf of developers who are provide level of affordable housing and the guaranteed length of affordability that generates a public benefit greater than the resources required to apply for and administer the livable community grants. LCA grants are a useful tool for the development of both rental and ownership units affordable at 80% AMI and below. Local Fair Housing Policy: Ramsey County works with the Twin Cities Metro Area Fair Housing Implementation Council to stop discrimination and promote integration. Any Arden Hills residents that feel they have been subjected to unfair housing practices should contact this organization. Arden Hills encourages the Ramsey County CED to continue the implementation of its fair housing policy. Local fair housing policy is a useful tool for the preservation of both rental units affordable at 80% AMI and below. Land Trusts: There is no established Land Trust serving the City of Arden Hills currently. Should a Land Trust be established, the Rondo Community Land Trust in St. Paul would be a good model to use. A land trust can be a useful tool for both the development and preservation of ownership units affordable at 80% AMI and below. 7.4.2.4 Fiscal Devices Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 7-24 Fiscal devices, such as revenue bonds, tax increment, financing, or tax abatement can be used to help ease the construction and availability of affordable housing in the City of Arden Hills. Development Authorities: Arden Hills does not have its own Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) and depends on Ramsey County Coordinate HRA for affordable housing and redevelopment services. Arden Hills encourages Ramsey County to construct, finance and/or partner with private developers to provide affordable housing for those Arden Hills residents in need. Development authorities are a useful tool to support the development of both rental and ownership housing units affordable at 50% AMI or below. Housing Bonds: Minnesota State Statute allows HRAs the ability to issue housing bonds to provide affordable housing. Arden Hills encourages the Ramsey County HRA to issue housing bonds to provide affordable housing for those Arden Hills residents in need. Housing bonds are a useful tool to support the development of both rental and ownership housing units affordable at 50% AMI or below. Tax Abatement: Cities may issue bonds to be used to support the construction of affordable housing and use a portion of the property tax received (tax abatement) from the development to finance these bonds. This removes this property taxes revenue from paying for the services needed for this property, its residents and the community in general. Tax abatement is a useful tool to support the development of both rental and ownership housing units affordable at 80% AMI or below. Tax Increment Financing: Cities may create a housing district to create a tax increment financing (TIF) district. The TIF bonds issued on this district are to be used to support the construction of affordable housing and entire property taxes received above the original tax value (increment) from the development to finance these bonds. This removes this property taxes revenue from paying for the services needed for this property, its residents and the community in general. TIF is a useful tool to support the development of both rental and ownership housing units affordable at 50% AMI or below. 7.4.2.5 Official Controls Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 7-25 Official controls and land use regulation can be used to assist in the construction of affordable housing units. Controls and regulations can also be used to simplify the process of expanding local housing options also. Fee Waivers or Adjustments: Cities may waive or reduce fee to reduce the cost of construction of affordable housing. Conversely, State rules require that the fee that a City charges be related to the cost of providing the services for which the fee are collected. This waiver or reduction could create a deficiency in the funding for services which would be required the use of general funds to resolve. The City should develop a fee waiver or reduction policy to determine when the level of affordable housing and the guaranteed length of affordability provide a public benefit great enough to justify the reduction or waiver of development fees. Fee waivers or adjustments are a useful tool to support the development of both rental and ownership housing units affordable at 80% AMI or below. Zoning and Subdivision Policies: The City has the ability to adjust its zoning and subdivision regulations through a planned unit development (PUD). Zoning and subdivision regulation are created in part to mitigate the impacts that a development may have on adjoining properties. When considering a PUD for affordable housing, the City should determine when the level of affordable housing and the guaranteed length of affordability provide a public benefit great enough to justify the potential impacts that would result from a deviation in the zoning or subdivision regulations. PUD is a useful tool to support the development of both rental and ownership housing units affordable at 80% AMI or below. 4(d) Tax Program: The 4(d) tax program provides a 4% tax credit to affordable housing developers. This program is administered through the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. Arden Hills encourages Minnesota Housing Finance Agency to continue administer the 4(d) tax program to provide affordable housing for those Arden Hills residents in need. 4(d) tax bond funds are a useful tool to support the development of rental housing units affordable at 50% AMI or below.

As was pointed out earlier, the age of 70 percentthe majority of the current housing stock makes ongoing maintenance a community concern. If Arden Hills’ existing neighborhoods are going to remain attractive places to live, owners will need to continue maintenance and reinvestment efforts. Encouraging housing maintenance can be done in two ways, either through voluntary efforts or through regulatory requirements. Many communities rely on both. Ideally, all residents will maintain their property in a sound and attractive manner. Realistically, however, a small percentage of properties will not be adequately maintained and in such cases, they can have a significant negative impact on surrounding properties and even the neighborhood as a whole. Arden Hills relies primarily on individual owners to maintain property. The City has nuisance provisions in its local code, it enforces the Minnesota State Building Code, and the International Property Maintenance Code was adopted in 20072015. As was noted in the housing policies, the City stands ready to consider the adoption of a rental regulations should it become necessary.In 2009, the City approved the Rental Registration Ordinance that requires owners of rental units to register with the City annually. Additionally, Arden Hills will continue to work with programs offered by county, regional, state and federal agencies as appropriate. Such programs are more limited than they were in the past due to changes in priorities and reductions in funding. 7.5 Future Opportunities While Arden Hills does have a limited number of smaller, infill vacant parcels south of Highway 96, future housing opportunities will largely come from the development of the TCAAP site. TCAAP offers an unparalleled opportunity to create a mix of housing integrated with employment, entertainment, recreation and transit service. The flexibility included in the design and development regulations for the site will help the community address its goals of housing diversity and housing affordability. Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 7-28 The TCAAP site will include approximately 427 acres of gross development area. Of this total, approximately 162.2 acres of land has been designated specifically for residential development. Residential areas are divided between several zoning districts with varying gross density requirements. A range of different housing types will be accommodated, including single-family detached homes, twin homes, townhomes, manor homes, apartments, condominiums, and senior housing. The City expects that up to 1,460 housing units will be constructed on the site at the time of full development. The residential component of the TCAAP site will offer a future mix of housing that will compliment Arden Hills’ current supply of predominately single-family detached housing. It will provide opportunities to address the changing needs of the local population and it will attract new people to the community. Combined with the City’s efforts to maintain the current supply of housing, the development of the TCAAP site will continue Arden Hills’ position in the marketplace as a highly desirable place to live. 7.6 Implementation Strategies In order to advance the policies and ideas identified in this chapter, the following implementation strategies could be used: o Review City codes to consider and encourage a range of housing opportunities and innovative site design. o Pursue grants or other opportunities that promote the construction of affordable housing. o Explore the adoption ofImplement the adopted rental regulations to ensure the functionality and maintenance of rental properties. o Explore the adoption of an administrative fine program to deter ongoing nuisance and property maintenance issues. o Promote the use of high quality materials in new housing construction to minimize long-term deterioration of the housing stock. o Ensure safety, livability and durability of the housing stock through enforcement of the Minnesota State Building Code, which includes educating property owners and residents on housing and property maintenance codes.

However, this Plan requires active implementation to be successful. The vision, goals, policies, and information in this document are meant to support the City and provide a strategic framework for accomplishing City goals and maintaining a healthy, vibrant, and stable community. While this Plan provides a policy framework, implementation will require additional review, research, process, and action. 14.1 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES Most of the chapters include recommended implementation strategies and ideas to advance the City’s vision and goals. The strategies are not ranked and are not considered all-inclusive. The potential implementation strategies in the chapters of this Plan are meant to be coordinated where feasible. The information, goals, and policies throughout this Plan are often interrelated and directly impact each other: land uses impact housing, transportation, and protecting natural resources. Coordinating the goals, policies, and strategies from each chapter is a primary strategy of implementing the City’s vision in this Comprehensive Plan. The vision, goals, and policies in this Comprehensive Plan chapter are a starting point for implementation continuing the implementation discussion. As new opportunities and tools arise, new strategies and ideas can be added to help ensure the advancement of the City’s vision. The City will review the Plan on a regular basis to ensure implementation continues on a timely manner. 14.2 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP) The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is the financial planning mechanism used by the City to plan for long range and significant expenditures. Arden Hills has adopted a five- year CIP that is updated on a regular basis. The official Copy is kept on file at the City of Arden Hills, and a copy is included in Appendix A for informational purposes only. The CIP is subject to change. Each year the CIP is reviewed and revised as priorities change, more details are known, and funds become available for capital projects and purchases. The CIP is an important implementation tool for the annual budgeting process because it helps guide the allocation of funds for the upcoming year. The Comprehensive Plan sets forth overall direction for the City; the CIP and the annual budgeting process implement the goals and policies contained within this Plan. Each year, the CIP is evaluated in relation to the goals, policies, and direction in the Dr a f t 1 1 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 Attachment F City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 14-2 Comprehensive Plan. This yearly process allows spending decisions to be made within the overall context and future planned environment for the community. While it is important that the City’s financial tools implement the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, the Comprehensive Plan cannot predict every future need, project, or constraint. The Comprehensive Plan is a dynamic document that can be amended, with careful review, to respond to unanticipated changes in the City. 14.3 ORDINANCES Ordinances are a powerful tool for implementing the Comprehensive Plan since they provide the legal framework for evaluating projects and implementing many policies. The City currently uses a number of ordinances to regulate development and other activities, including, but not limited to: o Erosion – provides regulations for controlling erosion on development throughout the City. o Floodplain – regulates development within the floodplains throughout the City. o Shoreland – regulates development along shorelines of streams and lakes. o Subdivision – regulates the subdivision and consolidation of land. o Zoning (Appendix H) – regulates the use, type, and style of development throughout the City. Ordinances require periodic evaluation to ensure they are meeting the City’s vision, Metropolitan Council requirements, Rice Creek Watershed District regulations, and State Statutes. State law requires the official controls to be amended to conform to the Comprehensive Plan. Implementing this Comprehensive Plan will require the review and possibly the updating of a number of ordinances. Although no significant changes to the existing zoning classifications are anticipated, it is the City’s intent to revise ordinances where needed. The Zoning Code will be updated in preparation for the TCAAP redevelopment upon selection of a land use plan. 14.4 ADDITIONAL PLANNING EFFORTS While this Comprehensive Plan provides overall policy direction for the City, additional planning detail is needed in select areas. In October 2008, the City approved on a small area plan for the County Road E corridor. This small area plan addressed land use, future redevelopment, and transportation issues in greater detail in this area. In September 2017, the City accepted the Commercial, Industrial, and Higher Education study. The study recommended the creation of an INST – Institutional District for the Bethel University and University of Northwestern campuses, which was adopted in September 2017. The City may consider if additional campuses, such as the Mound Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 14-3 View High School or the Ramsey County multiple jurisdictional public works facility, could be included into the INST – Institutional District. The City may also move forward with a more detailed plan for the Lexington Avenue/Red Fox/Grey Fox business area. Although there has been some new development in this area, many of the buildings are aging and are likely to be redeveloped in the future. An additional plan to address issues in this area may be warranted. 14.5 COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT Community involvement is an important part of implementing this Comprehensive Plan. While the City can adopt policies and programs, successful implementation requires solid communication as well as input and participation from residents and businesses. The City currently utilizes a number of methods to facilitate communication between the residents, elected officials, and City staff, including surveys, direct mailings, regular City newsletters, public comment times at Council meetings, Town Hall meetings, cable television, and the City’s website. The City also uses volunteer commissions, committees, and special task forces to include residents and businesses in the project development and decision-making process: o Communications Committee; o Economic Development Commission; o Financial Planning and Analysis Committee; o Parks, Trails, and Recreation Committee; o Planning Commission; These groups allow more direct involvement and participation from the community to help advance and create programs that work toward implementing the Comprehensive Plan. In addition to these groups, the City can create other types of committees as needed to work on specific projects or policies. These committees are created by the City Council and exist throughout the duration of the project. 14.6 INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION Coordinating with the adjacent communities, Ramsey County, the Metropolitan Council, and the State are needed to help advance local as well as regional goals. The City’s water, sewer, transportation, park, and recreation systems are linked to other public entities. Where feasible, the City seeks to cooperate with other governments to help ensure efficient use of public resources and reduce overlapping government services. Dr a f t 11 / 0 1 / 2 0 1 7 City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, 2018 14-4 14.7 FUTURE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS As a policy and planning document, text and/or map amendments to this Comprehensive Plan will be needed. This Plan is meant to be a dynamic document that can respond to unforeseen changes, priorities, and opportunities. Amendments may be needed for a future Lexington Avenue/Red Fox/Grey Fox Guiding Plan. Additional amendments may be considered where appropriate to advance the overall City vision and goals.

However, this Plan requires active implementation to be successful. The vision, goals, policies, and information in this document are meant to support the City and provide a strategic framework for accomplishing City goals and maintaining a healthy, vibrant, and stable community. While this Plan provides a policy framework, implementation will require additional review, research, process, and action. 14.1 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES Most of the chapters include recommended implementation strategies and ideas to advance the City’s vision and goals. The strategies are not ranked and are not considered all-inclusive. The potential implementation strategies in the chapters of this Plan are meant to be coordinated where feasible.

There are three existing gateway signs in the following locations: (1) County Road E2 at I-35W, (2) County Road D at Cleveland Avenue, and (3) Lake Johanna Boulevard at the Roseville border. The cost for a typical sign is $25,000, including installation, lighting, and landscaping. Actual cost may be more or less depending on the amount of site improvements and/or landscaping that is necessary in a specific location. Originally, this amount was budgeted to split $90,000 between 2017 and 2018 evenly, however, Community Development plans only to spend approximately $10,000 in 2017 and the rest subsequently spent in 2018.

Currently, the large condensing unit (main office) has developed a leak over the last three years, costing the city $4,000 and $4,500 in maintenance for 2015 and 2016 (ongoing), respectively. The two smaller condensing units (council chambers) have developed a leak this past spring, and will require replacement in the upcoming years. It was previously discussed the City purchase new condensing units to replace the current ones; however, due to building design it is recommended the City purchase one Chiller in place of all the condensing units The recommendation comes from Johnson Controls (City Hall maintenance provider), all recommendations are preliminary and further guidance would be obtained during the actual purchase. The condensing units were originally priced at approximately $100,000 in total, while the Chiller is priced at approximately $200,000. The Chiller would be more efficient and have a greater longevity than the condensing units (20 years versus 10 years) leading to a cost savings in the long run.

Note: An analysis of our system shows that we still have approximately 18 miles (40%) that are old clay lines subject to infiltration and root intrusion. It was estimated it would cost $3,500,000 to line all of these clay lines over the next 20 years. Estimated expenditures have been extended for 20 years to reflect this cost. Project #09-Sew-002 Priority 3 Important Justification As part of our sanitary sewer program, lines found with holes and cracks allowing for infiltration should be lined or repaired as needed. As the sewer infrastructure is aging, we should plan for a rehabilitation project on an annual basis. 2016 estimates show a remaining need of 1.6 to 2.2 million. Set a funding level of $400K every 2 years. $200K has been moved into 2018 for anticipated projects, which will be eligible for the Met Council Grant durind the current grant period.

The City purchased Springbrook software in 2001-2002. In 2011- 2014 we have been implementing the Human Resource module and the Central Services modules. As future enhancements are available we will be implenting this as well as upgrading the software, future modules include Project Management, licensing, business analystics, and dashboards. Project #12-Tec-001 Priority n/a Justification The current software was purchased in 2001-2002. Updating the software as updates become available continue to help us streamline our processes and tighten internal controls. As new technology becomes available - we need to update our systems to be able to function as the old software does not run on the older versions of operating systems and they are not supported. Updates were done in 2010 and we are still implementing some of those updates as they were not completely finished by the vendor or we had not had the staff time to implement. New enhancements to keep up to current technology are continuous.. Funding will come from the Equipment Building and Replacement Fund but operating transfers will be made from each of the enterprise funds (Water, Sewer & Surface Water) to account for their cost of the software. This is consistent with the support and maintenance fee charges in the operating budget. Budget Impact/Other While there is no hard concrete cost savings, it will provide greater reporting capabilities, reduce staff time spent on running reports as this software will allow for department access to monitor activity. Future costs and efficiency can be achieved by eventually consolidating all City services to one software system, thus eliminating paper flow and double entry. Annual maintenance fees for the new modules will be added as we add modules.

Based on a 2005 inspection report some improvements are needed at the south tower. The north tower was last inspected in 2000 and repairs were undertaken in 2001. In 2012 both water towers were inspected inside and outside using the "float down" method by Kollmer Consultants, inc of Stacy MN. Based upon these inspections the recommendation is to make minor structural modifications to each to towers together with a complete stripping of the existing paint and a full repainting. Kollmer recommended that the south water tower be completed in the next 1 to 2 years and the north water tower be completed in the next 2 to 3 years. Costs have been updated with a new price of $520,000 for 2018. Project #12-W-001 Priority 3 Important Justification New plans and specs have been updated as of 2017.

The booster station would be built on excess Ramsey County right of way and the structure would be made to look like a residential house due to its location. This item was originally budgeted in 2017 and has been moved to 2018 per updated timeline. Project #16-W-001 Priority 3 Important Justification The City's water system currently only has one booster station providing water to the high pressure zone through a single crossing of i-694. If anything (lighting strike, wind storm, etc.) knocked out the current booster station for any length on time the high pressure zone could be out of water after the half million gallon tower is drained.

Most recently in 2015 there were three different breaks when this section of water main had to be fed from the high pressure zone for a few days. All three breaks where due to deteroration of the pipe material until a hole appeared. Also, by creating a loop in the low pressure system by connecting the water main on CR E with this main on CR E2 the City will be better able to feed the low pressure system by rerouting and not have to rely on temporary feeds from the high pressure system. This project was originally budgeted for in 2017 and has been moved to 2018 per updated timeline. Project #17-W-001 Priority 3 Important Justification Recent water main breaks (four in 2015) on this section of main on CR E2 have all shown a deteriorated pipe material. Water breaks are expected to continue with high frequency as the pipe material continues to wear thin. 2015 breaks - 3 on 5/12/15 and 1 on 8/4/15. Water main breaks cost between $5,000 and $10,000 to repair each break. Looping the low pressure system along Old Hwy 10 will provide needed additional redundancy in the system.

There are three existing gateway signs in the following locations: (1) County Road E2 at I-35W, (2) County Road D at Cleveland Avenue, and (3) Lake Johanna Boulevard at the Roseville border. The cost for a typical sign is $25,000, including installation, lighting, and landscaping. Actual cost may be more or less depending on the amount of site improvements and/or landscaping that is necessary in a specific location. Originally, this amount was budgeted to split $90,000 between 2017 and 2018 evenly, however, Community Development plans only to spend approximately $10,000 in 2017 and the rest subsequently spent in 2018.

Currently, the large condensing unit (main office) has developed a leak over the last three years, costing the city $4,000 and $4,500 in maintenance for 2015 and 2016 (ongoing), respectively. The two smaller condensing units (council chambers) have developed a leak this past spring, and will require replacement in the upcoming years. It was previously discussed the City purchase new condensing units to replace the current ones; however, due to building design it is recommended the City purchase one Chiller in place of all the condensing units The recommendation comes from Johnson Controls (City Hall maintenance provider), all recommendations are preliminary and further guidance would be obtained during the actual purchase. The condensing units were originally priced at approximately $100,000 in total, while the Chiller is priced at approximately $200,000. The Chiller would be more efficient and have a greater longevity than the condensing units (20 years versus 10 years) leading to a cost savings in the long run.

Note: An analysis of our system shows that we still have approximately 18 miles (40%) that are old clay lines subject to infiltration and root intrusion. It was estimated it would cost $3,500,000 to line all of these clay lines over the next 20 years. Estimated expenditures have been extended for 20 years to reflect this cost. Project #09-Sew-002 Priority 3 Important Justification As part of our sanitary sewer program, lines found with holes and cracks allowing for infiltration should be lined or repaired as needed. As the sewer infrastructure is aging, we should plan for a rehabilitation project on an annual basis. 2016 estimates show a remaining need of 1.6 to 2.2 million.

The City purchased Springbrook software in 2001-2002. In 2011- 2014 we have been implementing the Human Resource module and the Central Services modules. As future enhancements are available we will be implenting this as well as upgrading the software, future modules include Project Management, licensing, business analystics, and dashboards. Project #12-Tec-001 Priority n/a Justification The current software was purchased in 2001-2002. Updating the software as updates become available continue to help us streamline our processes and tighten internal controls. As new technology becomes available - we need to update our systems to be able to function as the old software does not run on the older versions of operating systems and they are not supported. Updates were done in 2010 and we are still implementing some of those updates as they were not completely finished by the vendor or we had not had the staff time to implement. New enhancements to keep up to current technology are continuous.. Funding will come from the Equipment Building and Replacement Fund but operating transfers will be made from each of the enterprise funds (Water, Sewer & Surface Water) to account for their cost of the software. This is consistent with the support and maintenance fee charges in the operating budget. Budget Impact/Other While there is no hard concrete cost savings, it will provide greater reporting capabilities, reduce staff time spent on running reports as this software will allow for department access to monitor activity. Future costs and efficiency can be achieved by eventually consolidating all City services to one software system, thus eliminating paper flow and double entry. Annual maintenance fees for the new modules will be added as we add modules.

Most recently in 2015 there were three different breaks when this section of water main had to be fed from the high pressure zone for a few days. All three breaks where due to deteroration of the pipe material until a hole appeared. Also, by creating a loop in the low pressure system by connecting the water main on CR E with this main on CR E2 the City will be better able to feed the low pressure system by rerouting and not have to rely on temporary feeds from the high pressure system. This project was originally budgeted for in 2017 and has been moved to 2018 per updated timeline. Project #17-W-001 Priority 3 Important Justification Recent water main breaks (four in 2015) on this section of main on CR E2 have all shown a deteriorated pipe material. Water breaks are expected to continue with high frequency as the pipe material continues to wear thin. 2015 breaks - 3 on 5/12/15 and 1 on 8/4/15. Water main breaks cost between $5,000 and $10,000 to repair each break. Looping the low pressure system along Old Hwy 10 will provide needed additional redundancy in the system.

If anything (lighting strike, wind storm, etc.) knocked out the current booster station for any length on time the high pressure zone could be out of water after the half million gallon tower is drained.
