• Item No: 2 • MOUNDS .O S j jIE �,f Meeting Date: April 5, 2010 y �L Type of Business: Worksession Administrator Review: City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate Item Title/Subject: Review of a Concept Plan for the Coventry Senior Housing Development at 2320-2340 County Highway 10 Introduction: Select Companies, represented by Greg Johnson, has submitted a concept site plan for "Coventry Senior Living,"a 95-unit senior housing development on three lots on the south side of County Highway 10, just south of County Road H2. The building plan shows 18 independent living units, 45 assisted living units, 16 memory care units and 16 high acuity living (residents needing a higher level of nursing care than basic housekeeping or personal assistance) units. Select Companies has not yet submitted a formal planning application to the City for this project. If Select Companies moves forward with an application for this site, the proposal would involve three planning actions: • 1. Rezone three properties from B-3, Highway Business and R-1 Single Family to a PUD, Planned Unit Development. 2. Major Subdivision to combine three lots into one parcel (2-steps: Preliminary Plat and Final Plat) 3. Development Review of the site plan and building design. Background: The City Council will recognize Select Companies from the other senior housing project that they have been trying to build on County Highway 10 and Groveland Road for the last couple of years. Due to the collapse of the financial markets, they have not been successful in securing financing for their project. Select Companies still wants to build a facility in Mounds View, and their research has shown there is a need for senior housing in the city. Recently a new opportunity presented itself to Select Companies for building the senior housing on a different site in Mounds View. Select Companies now has an additional developer working with them, and an investor who will be a partner with them if they build the project on this new site. The development site includes three parcels with an area totaling approximately 2.2 acres. County Highway 10 runs along the northeast side and O'Connell Drive runs along the southwest side of the site. The three parcels involved currently have mixed zoning designations - 2320 and 2340 County Highway 10 are zoned B-3, Highway Business, and • 5260 O'Connell Drive is zoned R-1, Single-Family Residential. 2340 County Highway 10 has a self-serve car wash on the site, and the other two parcels are vacant.
