MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 7, 2010 Item.2.A
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: James Lehnhoff, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: TCAAP Zoning Project
Action Request
Continue the review of the proposed TCAAP Zoning Regulations.
Zoning Project Update
At the March 3 worksession, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed TCAAP zoning
regulations to Section 1320.135 Subd. C: Land Use Component. The Economic Development
Commission (EDC) began their review at their March 17, 2010, meeting. The City Council
continued their review at their March 29, 2010, worksession. To help facilitate this discussion,
the notable changes from all of these meetings that have occurred since March 3 are outlined in a
below section.
Land Use and Leal Consultant Review
At the March 8 regular meeting, the City Council authorized staff to contract with the
Cuningham Group for planning and legal services to assist in the preparation of the TCAAP
zoning regulations. The first part of the contract requires them to
• Analyze the proposed regulations for conformance with City goals in the 2030
Comprehensive Plan;
• Assess the proposed regulations to determine the potential positive and negative
outcomes;
• Review the proposed regulations for general consistency with Minnesota laws. -
The first two tasks are anticipated to be completed by April 5 with the legal review to follow.
That report will become the basis for their recommendations to enhance the proposed

regulations. Their recommendations will then be brought to the Planning Commission and City
Council for review.
Although the consultant's first analysis will not be completed until April 5, the worksessions
with the City Council and Planning Commission will continue so that we can still gather
questions and comments. The Parks, Trails, & Recreation Committee (PTRC) and EDC are also —
being included in the review process.
The anticipated review schedule is as follows:
• March 29—City Council worksession
• April 7—Planning Commission worksession
• April 12—City Council worksession
• April 19—City Council worksession
• April 21 —EDC meeting
• April 26—City Council worksession
• April 27—PTRC meeting
• May 5—Planning Commission worksession
• May 24—City Council worksession
• June 9 — Planning Commission Public Hearing to recommend regulations to the City
Council
• June 28—City Council review regulations for potential adoption
The meeting schedule is subj ect to change and meetings may be cancelled if they are not needed.
The draft regulations are uploaded to the website as they are amended. www.ci.arden-

Ramsey County Park and Open Space Request Update
As presented at the March 3 Planning Commission meeting, Ramsey County is pursuing two
land transfers from the TCAAP property to enhance the regional system:
• Rice Creek South Regional Trail Corridor—This approximately 150 foot wide, 30 acre
trail corridor is proposed to connect the Highway 96 Regional Trail to the Rice Creek
North Regional Trail that runs along both sides of Rice Creek.
• Trailhead Corridor—The County is working with the National Guard and Army to create
a 500 foot wide, 28 acre trailhead for possible seasonal recreational access to the National
Guard property. The trailhead would extend from the northern border of the Wildlife
Corridor to County Road. Of the 28 acres, almost 13 are part of the TCAAP property and
the remaining 15 are on National Guard property. Those 13 acres on TCAAP would
come out of the 76.5 acre Primer Tracer area. The National Guard is requesting the
remaining 63.5 acres of the Primer Tracer area for training purposes. The previous
planning discussions did not include any development on the Primer Tracer area.

Planning Process.doc
Page 2 of 5
If Ramsey County and the National Guard receive the requested land, the developable area
would be reduced by about 30 acres. The 50 acre Wildlife Corridor and the Primer Tracer area
had already been designated as park and open space. As of the writing of this memorandum, the
decision regarding the land requests had not been finalized.
Notable Changes Since the March 3 Planning Commission Worksession
Based on the comments from previous City Council and EDC meetings, there have been a
number of changes to the proposed regulations. Minor corrections, changes, and formatting
adjustments are not included in the below outline. The notable changes since March 3 are as
follows:
• Section 1320.04—Purpose of Districts
o Subd. 16 and 17—The Mixed Residential District and the Mixed Business District
were separated into different subdivions to more clearly show that two new
zoning districts are being created.
o The purpose, "To integrate a development on the former TCAAP property with
the developed part of Arden Hills",was added to both subdivisions.
• Section 1320.05 —Land Use Chart
o The planning consultant is assisting staff in drafting the land use chart.
• Section 1320.135 Subd. 53—Land Use Component: Prohibited Uses
o Adult uses were added as a prohibited use.
o Gambling was suggested to be listed as a prohibited use; however, this would also
limit such items as bingo,pull tabs, and charity events that may include gambling.
Typically, gambling activities are not regulated in the zoning code but instead
have their own specific set of regulations for licensing such activities. Arden
Hills already regulates gambling in the City Code.
• Section 1320.135 Subd. 5.0—Land Use Component: Mixed Residential
o A cap of 1,500 dwelling units was added to part ii, which previously had a
placeholder. This number is based on recent direction from the City Council.
The dwelling units include single family homes, two-family homes, and
townhomes.
o A cap of not more than 30 percent of the dwelling units could be in multiple
dwelling structures was added to part iii. This excludes institutional housing,
which includes nursing homes. A multiple dwelling structure only includes those
buildings with three or more units. Townhomes that are attached but have
separate entrances are not considered multiple dwelling structures in the existing
Zoning Code.
o Part iv was added to provide guidance on locating multiple dwelling structures.

• Section 1320.135 Subd. 6—Design Standards Component
o Part B was added to clarify that certain amenities placed in the right-of-way may
be privately managed and maintained.
o Part C was added to include design standards for residential buildings. The City
Code does not currently have provisions for single-family, two-family, or
townhome structures. Staff is seeking guidance from the consultant on this item.
o Part D was added to require design enhancements to the entry points to the
TCAAP property, which would include the areas around County Road H and
Highway 96. If an entrance to Highway 10 is constructed, the enhancements
would also apply to that location. Staff is seeking guidance from the consultant on
this item.
o Parts E and F were moved to this section from Subd. 7 because they address
design as opposed to actual transportation needs.
o Part G was added but has not been completed.
• Section 1320.135 Subd. 7—Transportation and Transit
o Part C was moved to this section from Subd. 6 because it focuses more on
transportation instead of design.
• Section 1320.135 Subd. 8—Park, Recreation, and Open Space Component
o Part A was updated to include, "...Not less than 10 percent of the TCAAP
property shall be incorporated into an integrated park and open space system." --
■ The 10 percent requirement is still considered a placeholder and is subject
to change.
■ Assuming the open space transfers to Ramsey County move forward as
expected, there would be approximately 429 acres as part of the public
auction. The park dedication standard would allow the City to require up
to about 42.9 acres for park and open space purposes. Not including the
primer tracer area or the wildlife corridor, the last RRLD concept included
42.5 acres for parks and open space. In the RRLD concept, the 42.5 acres
would have included the central park and stormwater ponds.
o Part B was updated to require a central community park and at least four
neighborhood parks. These numbers are similar to the RRLD concept but do
allow for some flexibility.
o Part C was added to give the City flexibility to allow all or a portion of the park,
recreation, and open space system to be privately managed and maintained.
o Part D is under review by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the City's
legal consultants.
• Section 1320.135 Subd. 11 —Environmental Review and Remediation Component
o This subdivision was updated to reflect the discussions staff had with the MPCA
on the environmental remediation process, though the City has not yet received
City of Arden Hills
l UhdocsllahlAHdatalPlanninglCommunity DevelopmentlTCAAPIPlanning-Public AuctionlLand Use PlanningW40710-PC Memo-TCAAP
Planning Process.doc
Page 4 of 5
comments from the MPCA on the revised language. The MPCA praised the
City's efforts to include MPCA remediation requirements in the zoning
regulations. The City's legal consultants are also reviewing this section.
o There are two parts to the MPCA remediation process: the Voluntary
Investigation and Cleanup (VIC) program and the Petroleum Remediation
program. The VIC program covers non-petroleum contaminants. While the
programs are separate, there is interaction between them.
o Before building permits are issued, the MPCA recommended that a Response
Action Plan (RAP) with approval from VIC and Petroleum be completed. The
RAP details the steps needed to remediate the land to the level needed for a
particular land use. The MPCA recommended against waiting to issue building
permits until remediation is completed because the RAP often uses building
construction and site layout as part of the remediation (for example, a parking lot
over a contaminated spot or a ventilation system for vapor intrusion). Instead, the
City may be able to withhold Certificates of Occupancy until the developer
provides the "Certificate of Completion" from the VIC program and the
"Development Completion" letter from the Petroleum program. This certificate
and letter are considered the highest level of assurance that the remediation has
been completed to MPCA requirements.
• Section 1320.135 Subd. 12—Subdivision Component
o This subdivision was recently added and is under review.
