Public comments were overall positive with some concerns regarding buffers and landscaping screening and traffic. The Planning & Zoning Board voted 6-0 in favor of the rezoning and PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat for Lyngblomsten. Summary Lyngblomsten is proposing to development a senior living community consisting of 20 single family cottage homes, 100 independent living units, 50 assisted-living units and 48 skilled nursing care units. Future development includes a restaurant and commercial building. The proposed development meets the goals, objectives and standards of the Comprehensive Plan and the Master Plan. The intersection is a major gateway into the city and has been a high priority redevelopment area over the past 20 years. The site has been the focus of several proposed commercial/residential development proposals. However it has proven to be a challenge for development/redevelopment due to lack of public utilities and transportation infrastructure, high neighborhood expectations and timing. The senior living community will support and catalyze future commercial development in the area, including the restaurant planned by this developer. PUD flexibility for building setbacks will provide benefits such as increased buffer from the Woodridge Lane neighborhood and implementation of the Master Plan’s urban form vision. Additional PUD benefits include higher architectural single family home standards, increased landscaping, clubhouse amenities, wetland buffer and public road right-of-way.
