Home My WebLink About1A, TCAAP Public Auction Preparation ,---A EN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: February 22,2010 Item LA TO: Mayor and City Council Members Sue Iverson,Acting City Administrator FROM: James Lehnhoff, Community Development Director SUBJECT: TCAAP Public Auction Preparation and The Public Engagement Process Action Request Staff is seeking feedback and direction on the draft TCAAP zoning code and the multi- jurisdictional meeting. Multi jurisdictional Meeting: Staff is seeking input on specific topics for the multi jurisdictional meeting that will take place before the community meeting. TCAAP Zoning Regulations: Staff is seeking input on the draft TCAAP zoning regulations. The draft regulations are intended to generate discussion and to lead to the adoption of zoning regulations for the TCAAP property. Multi-jurisdictional Meeting As discussed at the February 16, 2010, worksession, the City will be hosting a multi- jurisdictional meeting to discuss the TCAAP property. That meeting will be held prior to the community meeting that is being scheduled for April. A presentation will be prepared for that meeting, but staff is seeking input on any specific topics or information that should be included with the presentation. TCAAP Zoning Regulations At the February 16, 2010, City Council worksession, staff proposed a TCAAP zoning regulation process that is based on the mixed use vision that was adopted in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. City of Arden Hills C.-Documents and Settings lbecky.brazys 1ocal Settings)Temporary Internet Files DLK1 5FI022210-CC Memo-TCAAP Planning and Public Engagement.doc Page I of 4 The Council directed staff to continue working on the proposed zoning regulations and to bring them back for review at the Council worksession. It will likely take several meetings to prepare, review, and edit the language of the proposed zoning regulations. The Planning Commission will be hosting a worksession on March 3 to also begin review of the draft regulations. Before the regulations can be adopted, the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing, and the Council will also have the opportunity to hold a hearing. Ideally, the regulations will be in place prior to the public auction,which is anticipated to occur in the summer of 2010. The draft zoning regulations proposed to create two new zoning districts, Mixed Residential (MR) and Mixed Business (MB), and would use the Planned Unit Development (PUD) process to create a master plan for those districts. The PUD process is divided into three phases: concept, master plan, and final plan. The draft regulations are attached and an outline is provided below This is a working document that will need to be refined. As the regulations are reviewed, please share your questions, concerns, and ideas. The primary purpose of the zoning regulations is to set up a process for creating a detailed master plan for TCAAP in the future. The zoning regulations describe the process and parameters for creating the master plan—' essentially the zoning regulations are a"plan to create a plan." The proposed regulations would affect four parts of the zoning code as follows: 1320.04 — Purpose of Districts: All of the zoning districts have a purpose that is listed in this section. A purpose statement would be added for the new MR and MB districts. When a city adopts a zoning regulation, it must be based on a rational purpose that enacts community goals. 1320.05 — Land Use Chart: The land use chart lists the permitted and conditional uses for each zoning district in the City. If a use is not listed as permitted or conditional, then it is automatically unpermitted. Some of the uses, i.e. office, retail, have very broad definitions that allow for a wide variety of uses. The chart would need to be updated to include the new MR and MB districts,but staff has not yet drafted that chart for review. 1320.06 — District Requirements Chart: This chart includes the lot size, coverage, and setback information for each district. The MR and MB districts will be added to the chart, though the details will likely be added as part of a master plan that is developed at a later time. This chart has not yet been drafted. 1320.135 — Special Requirements for the Mixed Residential and Mixed Business Districts: This section is the workhorse of the new MR and MB districts. This section includes the Planned Unit Development (PUD) process and the components that will be needed to create a TCAAP master plan. City of Arden Hills C:0ocuments and Settings lbecky.brazys 1ocal Settings l Temporary Internet Files DLK15F022210-CCMemo-TCAAP Planning and Public Engagement.doc Page 2 of 4 Subd. 1 — General Procedure. This section is a summary of the overall planning and review procedure for the PUD. Subd. 2 — PUD Concept Plan Review. In the existing zoning code, applicants have the option for a concept plan review that allows for a non-binding meeting to discuss the aspects of a proposal. Staff is proposing to make the concept plan review a requirement for the TCAAP planning process. Subd 3 — Public Engagement Plan. Due to the potential impact on the community, public input and participation is important for creating the master plan. This subdivision would require the applicant to implement a public engagement plan. Subd 4 — PUD Master Plan. This subdivision describes the process and information requirements for submitting an application to create the TCAAP master plan. Part C is particularly important because it defines when a PUD application would be deemed complete. Once an application is complete, the City is subject to the statutory 120 day review process. In order to consider the application complete, the applicant would need to complete the components in subdivisions five through 14. The City will also have the ability to institute a development moratorium for TCAAP if that becomes necessary. Subd 5 to 14 — These ten components list the information and performance requirements for a future master plan. Essentially, these components set the direction for the City and a developer. This is where the City can set a balance between some flexibility and particular requirements. Staff recommends reviewing each component since this is where additional detail or information may be needed. The ten planning components include: • Land Use • Design Standards • Transportation and Parking • Park, Recreation and Open Space • Utilities • Construction Staging • Environmental Review and Remediation • Sustainability • Contractual • Financial Subd. 15. PUD Final Plan. This is the final phase of the PUD process and is used when a developer actually starts construction on a particular phase. The PUD City of Arden Hills C.-Documents and Settings lbecky.brazys lLocal Settings)Temporary Internet Files IOLKl 5FI022210-CC Memo-TCAAP Planning and Public Engagement.doc Page 3 of 4 Master Plan will be a plan for the entire TCAAP property, but construction is likely to occur over time in different stages. The PUD final plan is used to finalized the construction detail for a specific stage of development.

The anticipated average density is 10.4 units per acre with a minimum average density of six units per acre up to a maximum density of 46 units per acre. This land use is designated for the proposed TCAAP redevelopment, and the density is subject to change once a final land use plan is selected. • Mixed Business (-220 acres) — areas designated for a variety:: f businesses, including commercial, certain light industrial uses, warehousing, office, general business, retail.
