Mounds View Planning Commission July 23, 2008 Regular Meeting Page 4 ________________________________________________________________________ Chair Stevenson stated number five on the resolution should be clarified. He recited the proposed amendment. Commissioner Walsh-Kaczmarek stated this is establishing a city code not just for one development. Commissioner Meehlhause suggested having number 5 read as follows: (5) The parking recommendations are as follows, unless the City Council determines more or less parking stalls would serve a better purpose: A) Parking spaces require for independent living = 1 space per unit with half the spaces enclosed; B) Parking for assisted living = 0.5 spaces per unit C) Parking for nursing homes/memory care = 1 space for every 4 beds D) Parking for assisted living/memory care facility staff = 1 space for every employee working on the largest shift. Commissioner Lang questioned the rear yard restrictions being the same as the R-4 district when last meeting we talked about the R-4 district being doubled. Planning Associate Heller stated the development would fall under the new PUD ordinance unless it is less than two acres where then it must be rezoned to R-4. The double side yard setback is specific to R-4 zoning and senior housing and wouldn’t apply if the applicant were using a PUD zoning. Commissioner Lang stated in the heading it states Senior Housing and R-4 so we are sending applicants to R-4 Senior Housing. Planning Associate Heller indicated applicants would not be looking in the R-4 zoning section. Chair Stevenson suggested incorporating the setback requirements into the PUD section. Planning Associate Heller stated she would make the amendments to the code and bring it back to the Planning Commission at the next meeting. Commissioner Meehlhause asked if this would delay the proposed project. Planning Associate Heller stated the applicant has already made application and didn’t want to wait for this code amendment to take effect since it would delay them by at least a month. Their goal is to break ground yet this year if they can get city approval in time. ___________________________________________________________________________ 7. Next Planning Commission Meeting:
