Legacy Assisted Living PUD Amendment <br />Page 2 <br />ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE <br />On October 1, 2009 the EDAC discussed the conversion of the Country Inn & Suites to an <br />assisted living/memory care facility. EDAC's areas of consideration were the impact of change <br />of use on future economic development of the area and the change from commercial to rental tax <br />classification. Preliminary estimates of taxes generated by the new use indicate that the impact <br />will not be significant. <br />After considering potential economic benefits to the community versus the risk of a vacant <br />facility, EDAC unanimously recommended that the Planning & Zoning Board and City Council <br />change the land use in the Legacy at Woods Edge development to accommodate assisted living <br />on that site. EDAC recommends as a condition of approval that the city and the developer enter <br />into a development agreement that ensures payment in lieu of taxes if the facility is sold to a non- <br />profit, non - taxpaying entity. <br />REDEVELOPMENT OF AN EXISTING BUILDING <br />The applicant has indicated that they will present exhibits depicting the potential changes to the <br />building's site plan (addition of walkways), floor plan (conversion of multiple areas), and <br />elevations (addition of doorways and appropriate mechanical equipment screening) for the <br />Planning and Zoning Board to visualize the change of use. <br />When redeveloping an existing building by changing the use, staff feels that it is appropriate for <br />the PUD Final Plan to remain in effect and an administrative Site Plan Review be completed to <br />guarantee that all requirements of the LLTCDDG will be met with the proposed change. <br />In addition to the administrative Site Plan Review, the City Council will also need to complete a <br />Development Agreement to guarantee that all city interests are appropriately addressed. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends approving the amendment to the Lino Lakes Town Center Design and <br />Development Guide as shown in the attached draft of Chapter 2. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1. LLTCDDG pages 12 -18 with proposed amendments shown. <br />• <br />• <br />• <br />
