Planning Case No. 559-99 Property involved: 2670 County Road I Discussion concerning application to rezone property and for a conditional use permit for an assisted living senior residential facility. Applicant: MSP Real Estate • The applicant was present. Planning Associate Ericson gave the staff report as follows: MSP Real Estate has made an application to rezone the property located at 2670 County Road I from B-2,Limited Business Commercial,to R-4,High-Density Residential,and for a conditional use permit to construct and operate an assisted living senior residential facility. This is a vacant lot located directly behind SuperAmerica, at the crossing of Mounds View Drive and County Road I. Ericson stated this was a forty-eight unit facility, which would cater primarily to senior citizens who are not able to live independently, but do not require round-the-clock care. He stated that this use would fall in between independent senior living facilities and nursing homes. He stated that he had compiled information off of the Internet, which would provide a background into assisted living facilities. Ericson stated that parking issues were discussed at the prior meeting, in regard to the Code requirements pertaining to this type of use and the demands it would create. He stated that staff had researched the parking requirements for similar facilities in different cities within the Twin City area and outside the state,and had determined that the City's requirements, (one space for every three beds) falls somewhere in the middle of the spectrum of required parking ratios. He stated that discussion with cities requiring less parking indicated that the parking did not appear to be an issue, however, the parking demand might be higher with this specific type of use. Ericson stated that during periods of increased demand, other cities utilized on-street parking to accommodate overflow. He stated that the 11111 City of Mounds View prohibits on-street parking to meet on-site parking requirements, however, if there is a demand for on-street parking beyond City Code requirements which cannot be met on-site,
