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 /> 11"'"1110 <br /> 3 .s4� € wpm <br /> »€ i i_ pi1� , i # € #�� € x1££; .y > li g #41 _.'s } } k „ ;; � r130; # ; y3 wimp <br /> Saint Anthony, MN Convalescent or nursing homes 1 space per 5 beds, plus 1 <br /> space for every employee on <br /> the largest shift • <br /> - <br /> Gurnee, IL Nursing homes, convalescent 1 space per 5 beds, plus 2 <br /> center,geriatric center and the like spaces for every 3 employees, <br /> plus 1 space per doctor <br /> Maplewood, MN Multi-family residential 2 spaces per room <br /> Ellington, CT Convalescent and rest homes 1 space per 4 beds, plus 1 • <br /> space per employee <br /> St. Paul, MN Nursing Home 1 space per 3 beds and 1 <br /> space per each 2 <br /> employees <br /> Belmont, CA • Rest homes, nursing homes, 1 space per 4 beds, plus 1 <br /> sanitariums, convalescent homes or space per two employees and <br /> institutions for the aged 1 space per doctor <br /> Montrose, CO Nursing Homes 1 space per every 3 beds <br /> Plainview, TX Sanitarium, convalescent home, 1 space for every 6 beds <br /> home for the aged or similar <br /> Kenyon, MN Congregate housing for the elderly 1 space per room <br /> Jordan,MN Nursing Home 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 />
