Currently, the department serves Arden Hills, Shoreview, and North Oaks with a 24/7 duty crew, and has three active stations (Station 3 (Headquarters) at Lexington and CR I, Station 4 at Victoria and CR E, and Station 2 at Hodgson Road near Hwy 96). Lake Johnna Fire department will be present at the work session to give a high-level overview of the study, and answer questions of the Council. Budget Impact N/A Page 1 of 1 AGENDA ITEM – 1B MEMORANDUM DATE: June 17, 2019 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Dave Perrault, City Administrator FROM: Sue Polka, Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer SUBJECT: State Fair Parking Review Discussion At the direction of the City Administrator, Public Works staff posted the state fair parking restrictions in 2018 as shown on Attachment A. Staff received no complaints regarding the locations or placement of the signs. Staff from the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office will be in attendance at the work session. With the addition of the park and ride lot at North Heights Lutheran Church, parking restrictions were added on Snelling Avenue and Keithson Avenue in 2018. Staff contacted the State Fair staff member who manages the park and ride sites and was told that there are no parking changes this year that will affect Arden Hills. Staff proposes no changes to the parking restrictions for 2019.

Background/Discussion The Metropolitan Council’s regional development guide, Thrive MSP 2040, designates the City of Arden Hills as a Suburban Community. Thrive MSP 2040 states Suburban communities experienced continued growth and expansion during the 1980s and early 1990s, and typically have automobile-oriented development patterns at significantly lower densities than in previous eras. Suburban communities are expected to plan for forecasted population and household growth at average densities of at least 5 units per acre for new development and redevelopment. At the October 15, 2018, City Council work session, Eric Zweber of WSB & Associates presented a Future Land Use Map identifying areas of future development or redevelopment and the potential timing of the development/redevelopment (see Attachment A). The City Council concurred with these identified areas. The next step in the process is to ensure that any new residential development or redevelopment within these areas occurs at an overall average density of 5 units per acre. The Metropolitan Council uses the minimum density to measure the potential overall density of new development. In order to meet the 5 unit/acre average, the consultant and staff are recommending the minimum densities in the Community Mixed Use and Town Center designations be increased. Page 2 of 2 The attached memo (Attachment B) from Eric Zweber provides more information on this matter. Staff will provide further details and explanations at the work session.

The land that is likely to be developed, based on the January 14, 2019 City Council authorized submittal, is shown below in Figure 6-7. When calculating the average density, communities must use the minimum allowed density in that residential category, and if it is a mixed-use district, communities must use the minimum percentage of residential land within that category. The residential lands available between 2021 and 2040 include 146.3 acres of Neighborhood Residential within TCAAP at a minimum of 1.5 units per acre; 7.0 acres of Medium Density Residential land at Parkshore Dr. and Old Highway 10 at a minimum of 6 units per acre; 10.5 acres of Community Mixed Use (B-2 zoning) at a minimum of 9 units per acre; and 15.9 acres of Town Center land in TCAAP at a minimum of 15 units per acre. The average overall density for these residential lands equal 3.31 units per acre, 1.69 units per acre less than the Suburban community designation requires. The 146.3 acres of Neighborhood Residential land at a minim um of 1.5 units per acre drags the overall average density down. Arden Hills 2040 Comprehensive Plan – Community Designation Density May 13, 2019 Page 2 K:\03455-200\Admin\Meeting\CC Meetings\05132019\Memorandum.docx This Neighborhood Residential density within the Comprehensive Plan is different that the Neighborhood Residential zoning category densities listed in the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC). There are four Neighborhood Residential zoning categories in the TRC: TR-1, TR-2, TR- 3, and TR-4. The densities listed in the TRC are: The NR-1 does not have a minimum density, but the Neighborhood Residential land use category has a minimum density of 1.5 units per acre and would become the default minimum density for the NR-1 zoning district. The NR-3 and NR-4 zoning district both have the same minimum density of 4 units per acre. If the Neighborhood Residential land use category was divided into three categories to match the NR-1, the NR-2, and the NR-3&4 zoning districts, then the overall average density would become 4.32 units per acre, a 1.01 units per acre increase over the January 14, 2019 Comprehensive Plan, but still 0.68 units per acre less than required. To achieve at least 5 units per acre, two addition changes are recommended. First, the minimum residential density of the Community Mixed Use land use designation is increased from 9 units per acre to 12 units per acre. 12 units per acre is in line with the High Density Residential land use category and would encourage apartments within the B-2 zoning district. If a mixed used building were to be constructed in the B-2 zoning district, then the acreage of the parcel is calculated per use based on a pro-rated basis. Second, the minimum density of the Town Center land use designation can be increased to 21 units per acre. This would be at least half of the allowed density within the TRC for the least dense Town Center zoning district, TC-3. Land Use Acres Min. Percentage Residential Min.

If these changes are accepted by the City Council, then the only Land Use Map change would be to change the Neighborhood Residential land use category into the NR-1, N-2, and the NR-3&4 land uses. The greatest downside of this is that a Comprehensive Plan Amendment would be required is the location or mix of the NR-1, NR-2, and NR-3&4 categories were to change upon development.
