Mounds View City Council February 23, 2026 Regular Meeting Page 7 1 Kribashini Moorthy, Stantec, stated the applicant, Hampton Companies, is proposing to develop a 2 memory care and assisted living facility within the city. The applicant is working with the Sunrise 3 United Methodist Church property to develop the facility on the southern half of the church’s 4 property. The facility would, according to the applicant’s narrative, have 32 total suites/units - 20 5 suites/units with assisted living services and 12 suites/units with memory care services. The 6 narrative also notes that “The assisted living residents will be able to enjoy a home-like atmosphere 7 in a setting that allows them the freedom to participate in many amenities that not only help them 8 in their daily care needs but also provide them with a higher quality of life than that offered in a 9 more institutional setting. The memory care residents are provided with their own secured area of 10 the building that has its own separate amenities like a congregate dining room sunroom, 11 activity/craft area and a secure outdoor porch. These residents benefit from a life enrichment 12 program that is specially designed for residents with Alzheimer’s and Dementia.” To develop the 13 facility as proposed, the applicant’s team has submitted the following requests to the city: 14 15 1. A preliminary plat request. 16 a. The proposed plat would split the existing parcel into two lots/parcels. The church 17 would remain on the north parcel (shown on the preliminary plat as Lot 1), while 18 the proposed development would occur on the south parcel (shown as Lot 2). 19 2. A request to amend the city’s Comprehensive Plan. 20 a. The requested amendment would be to change the future land use designation of 21 Lot 2 as “public/semi-public” to “mixed use”. 22 3. A rezoning request. 23 a. The applicant requests to rezone the newly proposed parcel (Lot 2) as ‘PUD - 24 Planned Unit Development’. 25 26 Ms. Moorthy explained a preliminary plat is the first of two steps for a subdivision to occur; if the 27 preliminary plat is approved, the applicant can request a final plat. A request to rezone a property 28 is covered under Section 160.450; in addition, the procedures for a PUD are covered in Section 29 160.318. Comprehensive Plan Amendments are covered under Section 160.451. A Comprehensive 30 Plan Amendment, if approved by the City Council, will then have to be approved by the 31 Metropolitan Council. The following requests were reviewed by the Planning Commission at their 32 2/4/2026 and 2/18/2026 meetings. Staff commented further on the request and reported the 33 Planning Commission recommended approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezoning 34 to PUD and Preliminary Plat. 35 36 Council Member Smith asked if the two separate lots would have two separate zonings. Ms. 37 Moorthy reported this was the case, noting the church property would remain public/semi-public 38 and the senior living facility property would be rezoned as PUD. 39 40 MOTION/SECOND: Meehlhause/Smith.
