MSP Assisted Living Proposal <br />Planning Case 559-99 <br />July 21, 1999 <br />Page 2 <br />Parking: <br />It was brought up at the meeting that the parking as shown on the draft site plan may not be <br />enough to accommodate the actual demand that the facility would generate, even if the parking <br />provided met the City's requirements. The site plan shows 22 spaces, which is two more than what <br />is required, based on the need to provide four spaces plus one space for every three beds. Staff <br />researched what other facilities provide and what other City's require. The following table <br />represents examples of parking code requirements for this type of use. <br />s333z. <br />>:3.: r <br />.,.,,...n,.:;,«;:::,:„.:;,-:;-:w:;;•;:.s,::::,:;.,::.:::::n333vs3#">';3#;#l;:#iEi';zz;:'%#3##z#3s3, <br />yy� <br />{] <br />Saint Anthony, MN <br />Convalescent or nursing homes <br />1 space per 5 beds, plus 1 <br />space for every employee on <br />the largest shift <br />Gurnee, IL <br />Nursing homes, convalescent <br />center, geriatric center and the like <br />1 space per 5 beds, plus 2 <br />spaces for every 3 employees, <br />plus 1 space per doctor <br />Maplewood; MN <br />Multi -family residential <br />2 spaces per room <br />Ellington, CT <br />Convalescent and rest homes <br />1 space per 4 beds, plus 1 <br />space per employee <br />St. Paul, MN <br />Nursing Home <br />1 space per 3 beds and 1 <br />space per each 2 <br />employees <br />Belmont, CA <br />Rest homes, nursing homes, <br />sanitariums, convalescent homes or <br />institutions for the aged <br />1 space per 4 beds, plus 1 <br />space per two employees and <br />1 space per doctor <br />Montrose, CO <br />Nursing Homes <br />1 space per every 3 beds <br />Plainview, TX <br />Sanitarium, convalescent home, <br />home for the aged or similar <br />1 space for every 6 beds <br />Kenyon, MN <br />Congregate housing for the elderly <br />1 space per room <br />Jordan, MN <br />Nursing Home <br />5 spaces plus 1 space per 5 <br />beds <br />As can be seen, the city's requirements fall somewhere in the middle of the spectrum of required <br />parking ratios. The highest ratio is Maplewood's, yet this is misleading in that they do not have a <br />specific requirement for assisted living or nursing homes. In speaking with Maplewood's planner, <br />he indicated that the City's two assisted living facilities were granted variances from the parking <br />requirement. The lowest requirements were from Jordan and Plainview, Texas, which require 5 <br />and 6 spaces per bed, respectively. <br />
